The Fresno City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on April 12, 2005, to consider Rezone
Application No. R-04-35. This application relates to the proposed development of an approximately 4.94
acre single family residential subdivision. Following a full and complete hearing, the Council adopted
Ordinance No. 2005-32, relating to the above application as follows:
1. ADOPTED Ordinance Bill No. 2005-32(enclosed)that rezones the 4.94 acre subject site
from the AE-20/UGM (Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural District/Urban Growth
Management) zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential District/Urban
Growth Management)zone district.
The Fresno City Planning Commission previously conducted a duly noticed public hearing on February 2,
2005 to consider Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5340/UGM (Planning Commission Resolution No.
12152) and Rezone Application No. R-04-35 (Planning Commission Resolution No. 12153). The
Commission approved the tentative tract map application and recommended that the Council approve the

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No. R-04-35/T-5340 considered potential
environmental impacts associated with the subject rezone and vesting tentative tract map request.
The study indicates that the project, if approved, would conform to the land use designation and land
use policies of the 2025 Fresno General.Plan and is within the scope of Master Environmental Impact
Report No. .10130. Therefore, staff has issued a finding that the project proposal is in conformance to

Rezone Application No. R-04-35

Page 3
the 2025 Fresno General Plan Master Environmental Impact Report (MSIR No. 10130) dated
December 15, 2004, which incorporates a MEIR Mitigation Monitoring Checklist. This environmental
finding was properly published on December 15, 2004, with no comments received to date.
BACKGROUND 1 ANALYSIS
The applicant, Ed Poplin, has filed Rezone Application No. R-04-35 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map
No. 5340/UGM for 4.94 acres of property located on the northwest corner of North Maple and East
Powers Avenue, just north of East Teague Avenue. The rezone application is requesting to reclassify
the property from the AE-20/UGM (Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural DistricVUrban Growth
Management) zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential DistricVUrban Growth
Management) zone district. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the subject property into.22 single
family residential lots.
According to the land use consistency table adopted with the 2025 Fresno General Plan (and applied
within all community plans), the medium-low density residential planned land use designation allows
for 2.19 to 4.98 dwelling units per acre. The proposed subdivision density is 4.41 units per acre.
Therefore, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5340/UGM is consistent with the 2025 Fresno General
Plan and the Woodward Park Community Plan.
As depicted on the proposed vesting tentative tract map and the 2002 aerial photograph, the site
contains three on-site basins. In a.report by The Twining Laboratories dated June 4, 2004 and in a
letter by the United States, Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers dated November 17, 2004, it
was determined that the three basins do not contain any endangered species and do not meet the
criteria for wetlands preservation. This determination was made given that-the basins were supplied
with water from underground wells, which have since been shut off. The basins were originally
constructed for livestock watering.
Surrounding land uses are characterized by single family residences to the north, while property to the
east, south and west is developed with rural residential type uses. However, it should be noted that
with the exception of the abutting parcels, the subject property is largely surrounded by single family
residences.
Northeast Area Plan and Implementation Committee
The Northeast Area Plan and Implementation Committee reviewed the rezone application and vesting
tentative tract map at its meeting on July 26, 2004, and recommended approval.
Fresno City Planning Commission
On February 2, 2005, the Fresno City Planning Commission considered Rezone Application
No. R-04-35 in conjunction with Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5340/UGM. The Commission voted
to recommend approval of the rezone application to the City Council by a vote of 6 to 0.
Interior Streets and Required Sidewalks
The developer will be required to design and construct all street-related improvements as shown on
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5340/UGM, dated July 8, 2004. All streets in the subdivision will be
developed with interior local streets having a right-of-way width of 60 or 50 feet as permitted with
Public Work Standards. Installation of sidewalks will be required on both sides of the streets
throughout this subdivision. It should be noted that the developer will also be required to pave the
south half of East Powers Avenue, within the limits of the proposed subdivision.

Landscaping/Walls
Given that the proposed subdivision abuts a collector street, and in accordance with Section 10-1011
of the Fresno Municipal Code, the developer will be required to install 10 feet of landscaping along
North Maple Avenue. In addition, the applicant will be required to install a solid wall at the rear of the
required landscape setback, which will mitigate some of the noise generated by vehicles traveling on
the adjacent major street.
Lot Dimensions
The R-1 zone district requires minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet for lots in the subdivision. Lots
in the subdivision will meet or exceed the minimum lot size requirement.
Circulation Element Plan Policies and Major Street System Traffic Capacity
According to the 2025 Fresno General Plan Circulation Map, North Maple Avenue is defined as a
_ collector street. The _Public .Works .Department. Traffic Division-.has reviewed the- proposed:
development and has determined that the streets relating to the site will be able to carry the quantity
and kind of traffic generated subject to several. improvements. These improvements include
dedicating and constructing transition paving within the limits of the tract; installing curb, gutter,
sidewalk; construction of an underground street lighting system;`and relinquishment of access rights to
North Maple Avenue for all residential lots adjacent to this street frontage.
When the City of Fresno Master Environmental Impact Report (MSIR) No. 10130 was certified by the
City Council for the 2025 Fresno General Plan, a determination was made to require project-specific
traffic assessments for projects that would generate 100 or more vehicle trips during weekday peak
hours. Given the number of lots in this project, no special traffic study is required because the
potential traffic impacts of this plan-consistent development are deemed to have been adequately
analyzed and mitigated within the scope of MEIR No. 10130 and standard city requirements.
The Public Works Department staff has concluded that this project does not have significant adverse
impacts upon the city's transportation system and that its nonsignificant impacts are mitigable through
the city's standard Urban Growth Management (UGM) process and project requirements for
developments that abut major streets. In concert with the other developments that are approved
pursuant to the 2025 Fresno General Plan, the developer will. be:required to install improvements and
to pay fees toward development of the major street system as outlined in the Public Facilities Element
of the general plan and will be required to provide for the installation of traffic control measures (e.g.,
signals, stop lights, etc.) installed per UGM policies and ongoing traffic studies.
State Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental
Relations has submitted the attached comments dated July 14, 2004, indicating that the proposed
project in and of itself is not expected to create significant impacts to the state highway system, but
that the project, when combined with other residential projects recently approved, will be cumulatively
significant. Staff considered Caltrans' letter in preparing their initial study and determined that this
project does not create impacts, including cumulative impacts, that were not identified in MEIR No.
10130. City staff notes that potential cumulative traffic impacts of full buildout of the 2025 Fresno
General Plan were analyzed in MEIR No. 10130. Appendix 2 of the MEIR shows that North Maple
Avenue, between East Shepherd to East Teague Avenues is expected to maintain a Level of Service
C with partial or full implementation of the MEIR mitigation measures. Therefore, additional analysis
of this project, which generates vehicle trips below that requiring a specific traffic impact study, is not
warranted.

Rezone Application No. R-04-35
April 12, 2005
Page 5
Along with other cities and Fresno County, the City of Fresno has partnered with the Fresno County
Council of Governments and Caltrans on a regional study for the greater Fresno-Clovis-Madera
Metropolitan area. This study may provide the nexus/rough proportionality study necessary for
determining a developer's proportionate responsibility for capital improvements to the state highway
system.
In addition to a proportionate share study, a mechanism would be needed for the City to collect
monies and either hold these monies or hand those monies to a separate agency for improvements to
facilities the City does not control or maintain. The City has offered to cooperate with Caltrans in
developing such a mechanism, including using the model used by the City for collecting fees for the
FMFCD and/or entering into a Joint Powers Authority or a Memorandum of Understanding.
CONCLUSION
The appropriateness of the proposed project has been examined with respect to its consistency with
goals and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the Woodward=Park.Community Plan; its
compatibility with surrounding existing or proposed uses; and its avoidance or mitigation of potentially
significant adverse environmental impacts. These factors have been evaluated as described above
and by the accompanying environmental assessment. Upon consideration of this evaluation, it can be
concluded that the proposed Rezone Application No. R-04-35 is appropriate for the project site.

Dear Ms. Chamberlain:
We have reviewed the rezone and tentative tract map, for the proposed 22-lot single-.family
residential project on property located on the northwest corner of North Maple and East
Powers Avenues. Caltrans has the following comments:
The proposed project, in and of itself, is not illx.pected to creati; 'significant impacts to the
State Highway System:
This project is below the 2025 General Plan MEIR threshold that requires projects
producing 100 or more peak-hour trips to evaluate the project's contribution to increased
peak-hour vehicle delay at major street intersections adjacent or proximate to the project
site (Mitigation Measure B-4). However, when combined with the numerous other
residential lDrolerts in the area: ,this project's impacts to the transwrtation/circulation
'
system and to air quality will be cumulatively significant. As cumulative impacts to these
resources were not. addressed in the General Plan Update Master EIR, the City should
consider a mechanism for evaluating and mitigating for these impacts.
The City should consider a transit alternative for this project. The project is small, but
when combined with other projects in the area, there is sufficient residential development
to support transit. Early planning could make such an alternative feasible. Caltrans
.recommends that this project be routed to Fresno Area Express (FAX) staff for their review
and comment. . Please see Attachment Number 1 for other recommended transportation
alternatives.
We request that this letter be made apart of the permanent public record for this project and
that a copy of our letter be included in the staff reports for both the City Council and the
"Caltrans improves mobility across California"

Please send a copy of the staff report(s) to Caltrans prior to any scheduled hearings for this
item. If you have any questions, please call me at(559) 445-6666.

ATTACHMENT NUMBER 1
CALTRANS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION
ALTERNATIVES
Ongoing development throughout the City of Fresno, including this project, will
make traffic operations significantly worse by adding considerably to delay and
congestion. Transit alternatives can help reduce congestion and delay and reduce
overall degradation of air quality and gridlocked intersections. The City of Fresno
should focus on ways to eliminate trips in addition to enhancing capacity.
Transportation alternatives the City should consider include standard highway
solutions along with the following:.
1. Park and ride facilities on site or within the proximity of this project.
2. A study of the general accommodation and provision of mass transit in this
area to provide insight on ways of increasing transit usage.
3. Exploring the potential of commuter shuttles. The shuttle could be
financed through an assessment district and provide a way for individuals
to utilize a park=and-ride facility or commercial area parking lot and be
shuttled to various commercial/office centers within the area. Commuters
who need to go further could use City of Fresno transit if the City planned
for convenient connections. This may help to reduce the Single Occupancy
Vehicle (SOV) demand seeking to use the State Highway System.
4. Providing for continuity of non-motorized transportation.
5. Exploring the potential for employer-sponsored carpools/vanpools or
monthly transit passes for employees as well as including as a condition of
pIoject approval a covered transit stop as mitigation far proj.e,ct-relatea
impacts to the transportation/circulation system.
6. Exploring the potential. for linking the purchase of a monthly transit pass
with new residential development as partial mitigation for congestion and
air quality impacts, and to ensure the long term viability of public
transportation:

Environmental Assessment.Number: Project Location (including APN):
Rezone Application No. R-04-35 & Northwest corner of North Maple and East Powers Avenues,
Vesting Tentative Tract No. 5340 just north of East Teague Avenue.
APN: 403-022-05
Project Description:
Rezone Application No. R-04-35 proposes to reclassify approximately 4.94 acres of property located on the
northwest corner of North Maple and East Powers Avenues, just north of East Teague Avenue, from the AE-
20/UGM (Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural/Urban Growth Management)zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single
Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5340/UGM is
requesting to subdivide the 4.94 acre site into a 22-lot single-family residential subdivision. The property is within
the jurisdictions of the Woodward Park Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan. Both plans designate
the property for medium-lo\nr;density residential planned land use. Pursuant to Table 2 "Planned Land Use and
Zone District Consistency Matrix"of the 2025 Fresno General Plan, the R-1/UGM zone district is consistent with
the planned land use of medium-low density residential of the Woodward Park Community Plan and the 2025
Fresno General Plan.
The subject site is currently developed with a residence and several accessory structures which will be
removed/demolished as part of this project. Surrounding land uses are characterized by single family residences
to the north, while property to the east, south and west is developed with rural residential type uses. However,
it should be noted that with the exception of the abutting parcels, the subject property is largely surrounded by
single family residences.
Conformance to Master Environmental Impact Report (MSIR NO. 10130):
As previously indicated,the recently adopted 2025 Fresno General Plan designates the subject parcel for medium-
low density residential planned land use. The requested rezone conforms to this medium-low density residential
land use designation as indicated by the 2025 Fresno General Plan "Planned Land Use and Zone District
Consistency Matrix" as well as the adopted Woodward Park Community Plan.
The Planning and Development Department staff has prepared an initial study and environmental checklist and
evaluated the requested rezone and vesting tentative tract map in accordance with the land use and environmental
policies and provisions of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the related Master Environmental Impact Report
(MEIR) No. 10130. The subject property is proposed to be developed with residential uses at an intensity and
scale that is permitted by the planned land use and proposed zoning designations for the site. Thus, the rezone
and vesting tentative tract map will not facilitate an additional intensification of uses beyond that which already
exists or would be allowed by the above-noted planned land use designation. Moreover, it is not expected that
the existing and future development, per the requested rezone and'vesting tentative tract map, will adversely
impact existing city service systems or the traffic circulation system that serves the subject parcels. These
,'infrastructure findings have been verified by the Public Works and Public Utilities Departments. It has been further
determined that all applicable mitigation measures of MEIR No. 10130 have been applied to the project necessary
to,assure that the project will not cause significant adverse cumulative impacts, growth inducing impacts, and
irreversible significant effects beyond those identified by MEIR No. 10130 as provided by CEQA Section 15178(a).
Finding of Conformity Under MEIR No. 10130
Environmental Assessment No. R-'. X65 &T-5340
Page 2
December 15, 2004
Per Section 21157.1 of the California Public Resources Code (California Environmental Quality Act), it may be
determined that a subsequent project falls within the scope of a MEIR , provided that the project does not cause
significant impacts on the environment that were not previously examined by the MEIR. Relative to this specific
project proposal, the environmental impacts noted in the MEIR, per the 2025 Fresno General Plan land use
designations, include impacts associated with the medium-low density residential land use designation specified
for the subject parcel. Based on this initial study, the project does not change the land use indicated for the
subject parcels and will not generate additional significant effects not previously identified by the MEIR and no new
additional mitigation measures are required. Therefore, the project proposal is within the scope of the MEIR as
defined by Section 15177 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Moreover, as lead agency for this project, the Planning and Development Department, per Section 15177 (d) of
the CEQA Guidelines, has determined that all feasible mitigation measures from MEIR No. 10130 shall apply to
the project proposal as noted in the attached mitigation monitoring checklist. Public notice has been provided
regarding staffs finding in a manner prescribed by this section of the Guidelines and by Section 21092 of the
California Public Resources Code (CEQA provisions).

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No. R-04-35/T-5340 considered potential
environmental impacts associated with the subject rezone and vesting tentative tract map request. The
study indicates that the project, if approved, would conform to the land use designation and land use
policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and is within the scope of Master Environmental Impact
Report No. 10130. Therefore, staff has issued a finding that the project proposal is in conformance to
the 2025 Fresno General Plan Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR No. 10130) dated
December 15, 2004, which incorporates a MEIR Mitigation Monitoring Checklist. This environmental
finding was properly published on December 15, 2004, with no comments received to date.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
The applicant, Ed Poplin, has filed Rezone Application No. R-04-35 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map
No. 5340/UGM for 4.94 acres of property located on the northwest corner of North Maple and East
Powers Avenue, just north of East Teague Avenue. The rezone application is requesting to reclassify
the property from the AE-20/UGM (Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural/Urban Growth Management)
zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district. The
applicant is proposing to subdivide the subject property into 22 single family residential lots.
According to the land use consistency table adopted with the 2025 Fresno General Plan (and applied
within all community plans), the medium-low density residential land use designation allows for 2.19 to
4.98 dwelling units per acre. The proposed subdivision density is 4.41 units per acre. Therefore,
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COmMISSION
Rezone Application No. R-04-35
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5340/UGM
February 2, 2005
Page 3
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5340/UGM is consistent with the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the
Woodward Park Community Plan.
As depicted on the proposed vesting tentative tract map and the 2002 aerial photograph, the site
contains three on-site basins. In a report by The Twining Laboratories dated June 4, 2004 and in a
letter by the United States, Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers dated November 17, 2004, it
was determined that the three basins do not contain any endangered species and do not meet the
criteria for wetlands preservation. This determination was made given .that the basins were supplied
with water from underground wells, which have since been shut off. The basins were originally
constructed for livestock watering.
Surrounding land uses are characterized by single family residences to the north, while property to the
east, south and west are developed with rural residential type uses. However, it should be -noted that
with the exception of the abutting parcels, the subject property is largely surrounded by single family
residences.
Northeast Area Plan and Implementation Committee
The Northeast Area Plan and Implementation Committee reviewed the rezone application and vesting
tentative tract map at its meeting on July 26, 2004, and recommended approval.
Circulation Element Plan Policies and Major Street System Traffic Capacity .
According to the 2025 Fresno General Plan Circulation Map, North Maple Avenue is defined as a
collector street. The Public Works Department Traffic Division has reviewed the proposed development
and has determined that the streets relating to the site will be able to carry the quantity and kind of traffic
generated subject to several improvements. These improvements include dedicating and constructing
paving within the limits of the tract map; installing curb, gutter, sidewalk; construction of an underground
street lighting system; and relinquishment of access rights to North Maple Avenue for all residential lots
adjacent to this street frontage. These street improvements are outlined in more detail in the Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 5340/UGM Conditions of Approval dated February 2, 2005.
When the City of Fresno Master Environmental Impact Report (MSIR) No. 10130 was certified by the
City Council for the 2025 Fresno General Plan, a determination was made to require project-specific
traffic assessments for projects which would generate 100 or more vehicle trips during weekday peak
hours. Given the number of lots in this project, no special traffic study is required because the potential
traffic impacts of this plan-consistent development are deemed to have been adequately analyzed and
mitigated within the scope of MEIR No. 10130 and standard city requirements.
The Public Works Department staff has concluded that this project does not have significant adverse
impacts upon the city's transportation system and that its nonsignificant impacts are mitigable through
the city's standard Urban Growth Management (UGM) process and project requirements for
developments that abut major streets. In concert with the other developments that are approved
pursuant to the 2025 Fresno General Plan, the developer will be required to install improvements and to
pay fees toward development of the major street system as outlined in the Public Facilities Element of
the general plan and will be required to provide for the installation of traffic control measures (e.g.,
signals, stop lights, etc.) installed per UGM policies and ongoing traffic studies.

Interior Streets and Required Sidewalks
The developer will be required to design and construct all street-related improvements as shown on
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5340/UGM, dated July 8, 2004. All streets in the subdivision will be
developed with interior local streets having a right-of-way width of 60 or 50 feet as permitted with Public
Work Standards. Installation of sidewalks will be required on both sides of the streets throughout this
subdivision. It should be noted that the developer will also be required to pave the south half of East
Powers Avenue, within the limits of the proposed subdivision.
LandscapingMalls
Given that the proposed subdivision abuts a collector street, and in accordance with Section 10-1011 of
the Fresno Municipal Code, the developer will be required to install 10 feet of landscaping along North
Maple Avenue. In addition, the applicant will be required to install a solid wall at the rear of the required
landscape setback, which will mitigate the adverse effect of noise generated by vehicles traveling on the
adjacent major street.
Lot Dimensions
The R-1 zone district requires minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet for lots in the subdivision. Lots in
the subdivision will meet or exceed the minimum lot size requirement.
State Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations
has submitted the attached comments dated July 14, 2004, indicating that the proposed project in and
of itself is not expected to create significant impacts to the state highway system. However, Caltrans_
staff contends that when considered with other development in the area, its potential impacts would be
cumulatively significant and that these impacts were not addressed in MEIR No. 10130. City staff notes
that potential cumulative traffic impacts of full buildout of the 2025 Fresno General Plan were analyzed
in MEIR No. 10130. Appendix 2 of the MEIR shows that North Maple Avenue, between East Shepherd
to East Teague Avenues is expected to maintain a Level of Service C with partial or full implementation
of the MEIR mitigation measures. Therefore, additional analysis of this project, which generates vehicle
trips below that requiring a specific traffic impact study, is not warranted.
The City of Fresno and Caltrans representatives have met separately to review citywide impacts on
State highway facilities, the legal requirements for determining significant impacts under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), for determining when a nexus exists between a project and highway
impacts (i.e., the demonstration of a direct relationship between a project and a potential impact) and
approaches for meeting the "proportionality test' for requiring mitigation (i.e., for ensuring that new
development projects are assessed a fair share of the cost of mitigating impacts, as has been required
by U.S. Supreme Court decisions on land use and as is required under the California Government
Code §66000 et seq., the California Mitigation Fee Act enacted through Assembly Bill 1600).
Along with other cities and Fresno County, the City of Fresno has partnered with the Fresno County
Council of Governments and Caltrans on a regional study of state highway facility capacity and
measures needed to preserve and improve capacity of those facilities. A Partnership in Planning grant
has been obtained to complete a regional freeway deficiency study for the greater Fresno-Clovis-
Madera Metropolitan area. This study focuses on facilities projected to be most impacted by projected
increases in traffic, identification of the sources and patterns of vehicle traffic within the greater

metropolitan area and the improvements that would be necessary to provide adequate vehicular
capacity. Findings from this study may allow proportionate traffic impact fees to be implemented by
cities and counties in the study area, upon adoption by the respective jurisdictions.
Tentative Tract Map Findings
The Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code Section 66400 et. seq.) requires that a proposed
subdivision not be approved unless the map, together with its design and improvements, is found to be
consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan (Finding No. 1 below).
State law further provides that the proposed subdivision,map be denied if any one of the Finding
Nos. 2 - 5 below is made in the negative. In addition, State law requires that a subdivision be found to
provide for future passive and natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision development
(Finding No. 6 below).
1. The proposed subdivision map, together with its design and improvements, is consistent with the
City's 2025 General Plan (there is not an applicable specific plan), because the Woodward Park
Community,Plan designates the site for medium-low density residential land uses and the project
design meets the density and zoning ordinance criteria for development in this plan designation.
2. This site is physically suitable for the proposed type and density of development, because conditions
of approval will ensure adequate access and drainage on and off the site.
3. The proposed subdivision design and, improvement is not likely to cause substantial and
considerable damage to the natural environment, including fish, wildlife or their habitat, because of
the urbanized nature of the area in which the site is located. Furthermore, the three basin areas
located on the site.have been determined not to be functioning wetlands nor do they contain
endangered species as determined by the United States, Department of the Army, Corps of
Engineers.
4. The proposed subdivision design and improvements are not likely to cause serious public health and
safety problems because the conditions of approval have shown and will ensure that the subdivision

Dear Ms. Chamberlain:
The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District(District) has reviewed the project referenced
above and offers the following comments:
The entire San Joaquin Valley is classified non-attainment for ozone and fine particulate matter (PM10).
This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to increased traffic and ongoing
operational emissions. Although. this project alone would not generate significant air emissions, the
increase in emissions from this project, and others like it, cumulatively reduce the air quality in.the San
Joaquin Valley. A concerted effort should be made to reduce project-related emissions as outlined below:
The following items are rules that have been adopted by the District to reduce emissions throughout the
San Joaquin Valley, and are required. Current District rules can be found at
http://www.valleyair.org/rules/1 ruleslist.htm_
1. District Rules 4901 and 4902 regulate the sale, installation and transfer of both wood burning
devices and natural gas-fired water heaters to limit the emissions of PM10 and NOx in residential
developments. Please note that on July 17, 2003 amendments to Rule 4901 where adopted by
the District's Governing Board. Amendments to the rule may affect future construction plans for
residential developments. Specifically:
§5.3 Limitations on Wood Burning Fireplaces or Wood Burning Heaters in New Residential Developments.
Beginning January 1,2004,
5.3.1 No person shali install a wood burning fireplace in a new residential development with a
density greater than two(2)dwelling units per acre.
5.3.2 No person shall install more than two (2) EPA Phase II Certified wood burning heaters per
acre in any new residential development with a density equal to or greater than three (3) dwelling
units per acre.
5.3.3 No person shall install more than one (1) wood burning fireplace or wood burning heater per
dwelling unit in any new residential development with a density equal to or less than two (2)
dwelling units per acre.
2. District Regulation VIII - Fugitive Dust Rules is a series of rules designed to reduce PM10
emissions generated by human activity, including construction, road construction, bulk materials
storage, landfill operations, etc. A Dust Control Plan must be submitted for the
District's approval at least 30 days before construction activities begin if the project cumulatively .
encompasses 40 acres or more or will move more than 2,500 cubic yards per day of material.on
at least three days of the project. An assistance bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant.
3. District Rule 4103 regulates the burning of agricultural material. Agricultural material shall not be
burned when the land use is converting from agriculture to nonagricultural purposes. In the event
that the project burned or burns agricultural material, it would be in violation of Rule 4103 and be
subject to District enforcement action.
Ms. Chamberlain July 29, 2004
T-5340, R-5340 Page 2
4. Paving operations of this project will be subject to Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified
Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations). This rule applies to the manufacture and use of
cutback asphalt, slow cure asphalt and emulsified asphalt for paving and maintenance operations.
There are a number of mitigation measures that should be incorporated into the design of this project to
reduce the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some of the mitigation measures may already exist as City
development standards. All other measures should be implemented to the fullest extent possible). This
list should not be considered all-inclusive. The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air
quality impacts.
• Trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the buildings from energy consuming
environmental conditions, and to shade paved areas. A brochure has been included for the applicant.
See http://www.coolcommunities.orq
http://www.lgc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/siv treeguidelines.pdf
http://www.urbantree.org
• Sidewalks and bikeways should be installed.throughout as much of the project as possible and should
be connected to any nearby existing and planned open space areas, parks, schools, residential areas,
commercial areas, etc., to encourage walking and bicycling. Pedestrian and bike-oriented design
reduces motor vehicle usage and their effects on air quality. Sidewalks and bikeways should be
designed to separate pedestrian and bicycle pathways from vehicle paths. Sidewalks and bikeways
should be designed to be accommodating and appropriately sized for anticipated future pedestrian
-and bicycle use. Such pathways should be easy to navigate,. designed to facilitate pedestrian
movement through the project, and create a safe environment for all potential users (pedestrian,
bicycle and disabled)from obstacles and automobiles.. Mid-block paths should be installed to facilitate
pedestrian movement through long blocks (over 500' in length) and cul-de-sacs. Sidewalks should be
designed for high visibility (brightly painted, different color of concrete, etc.) when crossing parking
lots, streets and similar vehicle paths. Clearly marked and highly visible pedestrian accesses create a
safer environment for both pedestrians and vehicles.
• As many energy-conserving features as possible should be included in the design/construction of the
project. Examples include (but are not limited to):
Increased wall and ceiling insulation (beyond building code requirements)
Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or coated)
High-albedo(reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.Ibl.gov/coolroof/
Radiant heat barrier. See htti)://www.eere.energy.gov/consumerinfo/refbriefs/bc7.html
Cool Paving. See http://www.energy-.ca.qov/coolcommunity/strategies.html
Energy efficient lighting and appliances. See http://www.energystar.goy/
Energy efficient water heaters (such as instantaneous water heaters/indirect water heaters)
Energy efficient heating/cooling systems (such as radiant heating system)
- Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows
- Porch/Patio overhangs
- Ceiling fans, whole house fans
- Orient the units to maximize passive solar cooling and heating when practicable
- Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs.
See http://www.eere.energy.gov/RE/solar passive.html.
- Electrical outlets around the exterior of the units to encourage use of electric landscape
maintenance equipment
- Pre-wire the units with high speed modem connections/DSL and extra phone lines
- Natural gas fireplaces (instead of traditional.open-hearth fireplaces)
- Natural gas lines (if available to this area) and electrical outlets in backyard or patio areas to
encourage the use of gas and/or electric barbecues
- Low or non-polluting incentives items should be provided with each residential unit(such items could
include electric lawn mowers, reel mowers, leaf vacuums, gas or electric barbecues, etc.)
- Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from the project site,
etc.

• The project should include as many clean alternative energy features as possible to promote energy
self-sufficiency. Examples include (but are not limited to): photovoltaic cells, solar thermal electricity
. systems, small wind turbines, etc. There are rebate and incentive programs for alternative energy
equipment. More information can found at-
http://www.dsireusa.orq/, http://rredc.nrel.gov/, htt6://www.energy.ca.gov/renewables/
• Construction activity mitigation measures include:
- Require construction equipment used at the.site to be equipped with catalysts/particulate traps to
reduce particulate and NOx emissions. These catalysts/traps require the use of ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel (15 ppm). Currently, California Air Resources Board (ARB) has verified a limited number
of these devices for installation in several diesel engine families to reduce particulate emissions. At
the time bids are made, have the contractors show that the construction equipment used is equipped
with particulate filters and/or catalysts or prove why it is infeasible.
Use alternative fuel construction equipment.
Replace fossil-fueled equipment with electrically driven equivalents (provided they are not run via
portable.generator set).
- Install wind breaks on windward sides of construction areas.
- Curtail construction during periods of high ambient pollutant concentrations. This may include
ceasing construction activity during peak-hour vehicular traffic on adjacent roadways, and "Spare the
Air Days"declared by the District.
Require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use on the premises to reduce emissions
from idling.
District staff is available to meet with you and/or the applicant to furtherdiscuss the regulatory
requirements that are associated with this project. If you have any questions or require further
information, please call Mr. Hector R. Guerra, Senior Air Quality Planner, or me at 230-5800 and provide
the reference number at the top of this letter.

COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE BULLETIN
September 2002
(Update from June 2002)
Fugitive Dust Control at Construction Sites
Regulation VIII, Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions, of the District's Rules and Regulations
regulates activities that generate fugitive dust. .Fugitive dust is emitted to the air from open
ground or caused by activities such as excavation;transporting bulk materials, or travel on
unpaved surfaces. "PM10" is a term applied to small sized particulate matter-microscopic
dust particles-in the air. The San Joaquin Valley currently exceeds the air quality
standards for particulate matter. It is for this reason that the District adopted Regulation VIII
in 1993. Significant amendments to Regulation VIII were adopted in 2001 and became
effective May 15, 2002: The following dust control and administrative requirements are
applicable at construction sites:
Visible Dust Emissions (VDE). Visible dust emissions may not exceed 20% opacity
during periods when soil is being disturbed by equipment or wind at any time. Dust control
may be achieved by means of applying water before and during earth work and on traffic
areas, phasing work to limit dust, and setting up wind fences to limit wind blown dust. VDE
opacity of 20% means the amount of dust that would obstruct the view of an.object by 20%.
Soil stabilization. Soil stabilization is required at any construction site after normal working
hours and on weekends and holidays. This requirement also applies to inactive
construction areas such as phased projects where disturbed land is left unattended.
Applying water to form a visible crust on the soil is an effective method for stabilizing a
disturbed surface area. Long-term methods include applying dust suppressants or
establishing vegetative cover. Restricting vehicle access from the area will help to maintain
a stabilized surface. Information regarding stabilization standards and test methods are in
Rule 8011 —General Requirements.
Carryout and Trackout. These requirements are found in Rule 8041 —Carryout and
Trackout. Carryout and trackout are materials adhered to vehicle tires and transport
vehicles carried from a construction site and deposited onto a paved public road. Should
carryout and trackout occur, it must be cleaned up at least daily, and immediately if it
extends more than 50 feet from the exit point onto a,paved road. The recommended clean-
up methods include manually sweeping, sufficiently wetting the area prior to mechanical
sweeping to limit VDE or using a PM10-efficient street sweeper. A blower device, or dry
sweeping with any mechanical device other than a PM10-efficient street sweeper is
prohibited.
Nnrrht•m I:r•uinn C1Hrrr• i'...,r .l IT,.,,:n.. I lff;.-.. Crinrhorn Rr..ninn Oflirt•
Access and Haul Roads. Dust control is required on all unpaved access and haul roads,
and unpaved vehicle and equipment traffic areas at construction sites, per Rule 8021 -
Construction, Demolition, Excavation, Extraction, and Other Earthmoving Activities.
Storage Piles and Bulk Materials. The handling, storage, and transportation requirements
for bulk materials are found in Rule 8031 —Bulk Materials. These requirements include:
applying water as materials are handled, stabilizing or covering stored materials, and
installing wind barriers to limit VDE. Limiting vehicle speed, loading haul trucks with a
freeboard six inches or greater, covering haul trucks, or applying water to the top of the load
are options for reducing VDE from vehicle transportation of bulk materials.
Demolition. Wetting of the exterior of a building to be demolished is required. Demolition
debris and the area around the demolition must also be controlled to limit VDE. Cleaning
up carryout and trackout must be completed according to Rule 8041. Demolition activities
are also subject to the District's asbestos rule, Rule 4002—National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants.
Dust Control Plans. For large construction projects, Rule 8021 requires the owner or
contractor to submit a Dust Control Plan to the District for approval at least 30 days prior to
commencing construction activities. This requirement applies to projects that include 40 or
more acres'of disturbed surface area or will involve moving more than 2,500 cubic yards per
day of material on at least three days during the project.
Record keeping. All sites subject to the regulation that employ dust control measures must
keep records for each day any dust controls are used. The District has developed record
keeping forms for water application,street.sweeping, and for"permanent"controls such as
applying long term dust palliatives, vegetation, ground cover materials, paving, or.other
durable materials. Pursuant to Rule 8011, records must be kept for one year after the.end
of dust generating activities.
Exemptions. Activities in areas.above 3,000 feet elevation are exempt from.all.Regulation.
Vlll requirements. The following exemptions in Rule 8021 apply to construction activities:
Blasting activities
0 Maintenance and remodeling of existing,buildings if the addition is less than 50%of
the size of the existing building or 10,000 square feet. These activities, however, are
subject to the District's asbestos rule, Rule 4002.
0 Additions to single family dwellings
a Mowing, disking or other weed control on sites less than %z acre.
Nuisance. Whether or not the construction activity is exempt'from the Regulation Vill
requirements, any activity that creates fugitive dust must not cause a nuisance, per Rule
4102.- Nuisance. Therefore, it is important to monitor the dust generating activities and, if
necessary, plan for and implement the appropriate dust control measures to limit the
public's exposure to fugitive dust.
This is a basic summary of Regulation Vlll as it applies to the construction industry. For
more information contact the Compliance Division of the District office nearest to you.

Dear Ms. Chamberlain:
We have reviewed the rezone and tentative tract map for the proposed 22-lot single--family
residential project on property located on the northwest corner of North Maple and East
Powers Avenues. Caltrans has the following comments:
The proposed project, in and of itself, is not expected to create'significant impacts to the
State Highway System.
This project is below the 2025 General Plan MEIR threshold that requires projects
producing 100 or more peak-hour trips to evaluate the project's contribution to increased
peak-hour vehicle delay at major street intersections adjacent or proximate to the project
site (Mitigation Measure B-4). However, when combined with the numerous other
_eii.dential projects in the area, this project's impacts to the transportation/circulation
system and to air quality will be cumulatively significant. As cumulative impacts to these
resources were not addressed in the General Plan Update Master EIR, the City should
consider a mechanism for evaluating and mitigating for these impacts.
The City should consider a transit alternative for this project: The project is small, but
when combined with other projects, in the area, there is sufficient residential development
to support transit. Early planning could make such an alternative feasible. Caltrans
recommends that this project be routed to Fresno Area Expres's (FAX) staff for their review
And comment.. Please see Attachment Number 1 for other recommended transportation
alternatives.
We request that this letter be made a part of the permanent public record for this project and
that a copy of our letter be included in the staff reports for both the City Council and the

ATTACHMENT NUMBER 1
CALTRANS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION
ALTERNATIVES
Ongoing development throughout the City of Fresno, including this project, will
make traffic operations significantly worse by adding considerably to delay and
congestion. Transit alternatives can help reduce congestion and delay and reduce
overall degradation of air quality and gridlocked intersections. The City of Fresno
should focus on ways to eliminate trips in addition to enhancing capacity.
Transportation alternatives the City should consider include standard highway
solutions along with the following:
1. Park and ride facilities on site or within the proximity of this project.
2. A study of the general accommodation and provision of mass transit in this
area to provide insight on ways of increasing transit usage.
3. Exploring the potential of commuter shuttles. The shuttle could be
.financed through an assessment district and provide a way for individuals .
to utilize a park-and-ride facility or commercial area parking lot and be
shuttled-to various commercial/office centers within the area. Commuters
who need to go further could use City-of Fresno transit if the City planned
for convenient connections. This may help to reduce the Single Occupancy
Vehicle (SOV) demand seeking to use the State Highway System.
4. Providing for continuity of non-motorized transportation.
5. Exploring the potential for employer-sponsored carpools/vanpools or
monthly transit passes for employees as well as including as a condition of
project approvai a covered aransit stop as mitigation for project-related
impacts to the transportation/circulation system.
6. Exploring the potential for linking the purchase of a monthly transit pass
with new residential development as partial mitigation for congestion and
air quality impacts, and to ensure the long term viability of public
transportation.

Dear Mr. Enyedy:
I am responding to the request for Concurrence on Opinion for the Poplin Property,
200400697. This project is located in Section 26, Township 12 South, Range 20 East,
M.D.B.& M., City of Fresno, Fresno County, California.
The Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction within the study area is under the authority of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for the discharge of dredged or fill material into
waters of the United States. Waters of the United States include, but are not limited to,
rivers, perennial or intermittent streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, vernal pools, marshes,
wet meadows, and seeps:
Based on the information you have provided, it appears that there are three basin
areas present on the project site containing the hydrology, hydrophitic vegetation and
hydric soils to be considered functioning wetlands or other waters of the United States
However, we have determined these waters to be not jurisdictional because the basin areas
were originally excavated on former upland grassland areas for livestock watering and are
supplied with water from underground.wells through well pumps that have now been
permanently shut off. Therefore, Department of the Army authorization is not required
for this project.
Please refer to identification number 200400697 in any correspondence concerning
this project. If you have any questions, please contact Walter Clevenger at our San
Joaquin Valley Office, 1325 J Street, Room 1480, Sacramento, California 95814-2922,

SUBJECT: Devereaux Property Concurrence on Opinion
Dear Ms. Haley
This letter sununarizes the history of and conditions on the property (site) at the northwest
coluer of North Maple Avenue and East Powers Avenue, Fresno County assessor's parcel
number 403-022-05. The site is within Section 26 Township 12S, Range 20E. Attached are
three maps; a Vicinity Map, a Site Map, and a Natural Resources Map. As pari of the site's
development, the City of Fresno has required that the features' status be defined under the
Clean Water Act Section 404. Mr. Edward Poplin, the 15 year resident of the site provided
most of the sites history. Mr.Poplin knew the previous owner, who lived on the property for
many years.
The features described in this letter are visible on both 1998 U.S. Geological Survey(USGS)
air photography (Site Map) and on Clovis 7.5 minute USGS topographic map (Natural
Resource Map). On the topographic map the site's features appear as a single feature, while
on the an•photograph the light shaded areas are dilces separating features. Using GIS the area
on the topographic map was used to digitize the outer extent of the feahires, while air
photograph and field observation were used to place the interior divisions creating the site's
three inter-related features. GIS was then used to calculate the approximate areas.
The site consists of a single parcel of approximately 4.94 acres, within Fresno City limits.
Originally according to Mr.Poplin, the land was upland grassland and used for the grazing of
livestock. At that time, the site was part of a larger land holding. The three features were
excavated for livestock watering. The basins were, and are, separated from each other by
dikes that average about four feet across. Over time, the original landholding was sub-
divided.
There is no drainage channel, swales, or other hydrologic topographic features on the site.
The irrigation water to the basins was supplied froma stand pipe with a control valve and
.conveyed to the ponds via an excavated ditch. The water left the basins only by infiltration
and evapotranspiration. Approximately 10 years ago the sub-division to the north (Vicinity
Map) was built. The building of the sub-division impacted the ground water and the original

well.on site ceased to generate sulfient water.The City was required to drill a new well on the
site. The well was drilled to a depth of approximately 120 feet to reach ground water.
When the .new well was built, the southern most basin was the only basin used.with any
regularity. The source of the water is from the on site well. The later is pumped from the
well to the southern basin and from there it can be allowed into the north west basin by a weir
with a control mechanism.. Within the past two years the property to the west of the site built a
barn across the ditch that supplied the water to the basins. Without the controlled water from
the ditch and the well,the basins have occasionally dried out completely.
As the landholding was reduced in size the level of agriculture being practiced on site was
reduced, and the need for three basins was also reduced. Approximately ten years ago use of
the north two basins mostly ceased. The southern basin became a fish pondflandscape feature
as the property became a large residential lot.for all practical purposes. The basin to the
northwest was used to drain water from the southern pond during periods of maintenance and
disuse. The northeast basin,receiving the Ieast use,was filled.
The vegetation on site can be arranged into three groups. Most of the site is un-irrigated
upland non-native grasses. The area around the house, including the area between the house
and the southern pond, consists of irrigated grasses and other species associated with lawns
(e.g.Plantago lancolata). The third group of vegetation is associated with the basins.
The vegetation associated.with the basins is arranged into association based on distance to the
southern pond. The southern pond ,itself has a stand of Cattails (Typha sp.) (Photograph 1)
but, for the most part, is devoid of emergent vegetation due to regular maintenance
(Photograph 2), The area that has the most complex arrangement of vegetation is in the
northwest basin.
This basin has four noticeable associations(Photograph 3). The wettest association is a small
area that is related to the weir that empties the southern pond into the northeastem basin.
Species associated with this area include willows (Salix sp.), rush (Juncus sp.), and sedge
(Cyperus sp.)(Photograph 4). The dominant grass in this association is Berm:udagrass
(Cynodon dactylon), a facultative upland species(FACLD. Bermudagrass is also the dominant
species in the second association, which forms a band paralleled to the dike separating the
southern pond and the northeastern basin (Photographs 3 and 4). The third association is
found in the center of the basin and is a mixture of grasses—rip gut brome(Brornus diandrus),
Polypogon monspeliensis, hordeum.murinum, rattail fescue (Vulpia myuros), and bristly ox
tongue (Pic7is echioides). The fourth association forms a ring around three of the northeast
basin's sides. This association is dominated by wild oats (Avena fatua), and likely represents
the surrounding uplvnd vegetation composition. However, most of the area surrounding the
basins was mowed to the ground,making the comparison determination difficult.
It is Twinning Laboratories opinion that the basin features are not wetlands as defined by the
1987 Manual. The most important point is the source of the water to the basins. The water
which is used to fill the southern basin.is exclusively derived from well.water and is controlled
by both pump and valve. This coupled with the deep ground water table of greater than a
hundred :feet, means that any wetland indicators that develop are entirely.man induced, and
would quickly disappear if the water application is ceased.
The disappearance of wetland indicators have been reported as the basins have dried out and
under gone maintenance. Any one basin has not been continually 'flooded for five years and
the two north basins have not been flood three years in the past ten. This raises the question
that normal circumstances may not exist within the basins.
If the basins are determined to need delineation for wetlands, there are certain points that
should be noted There are no lmown occurrences of special status species on the site or within
a mile of it according to the CDFG's CNNDB GLS database (Natural Resource Map). The
nearest sighting,according to the CNDDB,is for succulent owl's clover(Castdh a campestris
ssp. succulenta), a predominately vernal species. This sighting is to the west of the site
approximately 1.8 mile,and is grouped with other vernal species near Woodward Park and the
San Joaquin River. The land between the site and the sighting is developed.
The basins are isolated. The topography is very flat with no drainages, or evidence of past
drainages, and therefore have no connection to Waters of the U.S. The deep ground water
table and flat topography would indicate that water from the fish pond travels down,with little
lateral movement. These conditions would likely categorize any of the basins that might
qualify as wetlands,as non jurisdictional under the SVVANCC ruling. However, a SWANCC
determination and the determination of the regulatory status of wetland features are the sole
jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. All information and opinions put forward in
this Ietter are for purpose of advancing this process.

Dear Ms. Chamberlain:
SUBJECT: COMMENTS ON VESTING TENTATIVE MAP OF TRACT NO. 5340/UGM
Fresno Area Express (FAX) has reviewed the Tentative Tract Map for the project on Maple and
Powers, and appreciates the opportunityto provide the comments.
Currently FAX provides public fixed-route transit service and demand-response paratransit service
for the City of Fresno. FAX fixed-route services are currently operated as far north as Champlain at
Cedar and so there is no service to the proposed area at this time The FAX Handy Ride system
provides paratransit services as far west as Polk Avenue.
Fixed-route service may not be initially expected, however, as the community grows, the need for
public transportation will increase. The area will need transit for work,entertainment and school and
public transit will become an issue. FAX believes that these services should be anticipated and
planned for. FAX staff should be included in the evaluation and review of the development plans to
ensure that appropriate allowances are made for proper bus and pedestrian facilities to
accommodate future public transit needs in the area.
Should you have any questions, please call me at 621-1436.
Sincerely,
Jn Villeneuve
T nsit Planner
