ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING _
An environmental assessment initial study was prepared for this project in accordance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. This process included
the distribution of requests for comment from other responsible or affected agencies and interested
organizations. The proposed project has been determined to be fully within the scope of MEIR No.
10130 as provided by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as codified in the Public
Resources Code (PRC) Section 21157.1(d) and the CEQA Guidelines Section 15177(c). It has been
further determined that all applicable mitigation measures of MEIR No. 10130 have been applied to the
project, together with project specific mitigation measures necessary to assure that the project will not
cause significant adverse cumulative impacts, growth inducing impacts and irreversible significant
effects beyond those identified by MSIR No. 10130 as provided by CEQA Section 15178(a). 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 January 16, 2007, which incorporates a
MEIR Mitigation Monitoring Checklist. This environmental finding was properly published on January
17, 2007, with no comments received.
BACKGROUND 1 ANALYSIS
The applicant, Bonadelle Homes, Inc. has I]I'CU I iCzor �
6 NR\-044t4 id Vesting Tentative
Tract Map No. 5341/UGM for approximately 58 (net) acres of property located on the south side of East
Clinton Avenue between North Temperance and North Locan Avenues . The rezone application
proposes to reclassify the subject property from the AE-20 (County) zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single
Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
5341/UGM proposes to subdivide the 58-acre site into a 264-lot single family residential subdivision at
an overall density of 4.5 dwelling units per acre.
On November 19, 2002, the City Council, through Resolution No. 2002-379, adopted the 2025 Fresno
General Plan which also adopted the McLane Community Plan. The McLane Community Plan
designates the subject property for medium low (2.19-4.98 dwelling units per acre) density residential
land uses. The applicant wishes to pursue development of the subject property with 264 single family
homes. The requested R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district
is considered consistent with the medium low density residential land use designation. Furthermore, the
proposed development with a density of 4.5 dwelling units per acre demonstrates that the project site
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Rezone Application No. R-04-44
June 26, 2007
Page 4
will be developed within the overall density of dwelling units anticipated by the 2025 Fresno General
Plan and McLane Community Plan.
District 4 Plan and Implementation Committee
The District 4 Plan and Implementation Committee reviewed the proposed rezone and tentative tract
map applications at its meeting of June 4, 2007. The Committee recommended approval of the project
by a 7-0 vote. The Committee also recommended that measures be taken to insure that owners of any
properties required to be annexed into the City of Fresno along with the proposed project, be permitted
to retain their rural lifestyle.
Fresno City Planning Commission
On May 16, 2007 the Fresno City Planning Commission considered Rezone Application No. R-04-44
and after a complete hearing took action to recommend approval of the rezone application to the City
Council by a 5-0 vote. The Commission, by the same vote, also approved related Vesting Tentative
Tract No. 5341.
Subdivision Design/Streets and Access Points
This subdivision is proposed to have four access points to East Clinton Avenue. Access to Temperance
Avenues is not permitted since it is a designated expressway street and Locan Avenue does not extend
south of Clinton Avenue. The subdivision also proposes a street connection to the property to the south.
The Public Works Department, Transportation Planning Section has reviewed the rezone application
and tentative tract map. Public Works staff has determined that the streets adjacent to and near the
subject site will be able to accommodate the quantity and kind of traffic generated, subject to the
.dedication and improvement of adjacent portions of East Clinton and North -Temperance Avenues to
their ultimate planned width.
Landscaping/Open Space/Walls
The developer will be required to,install 15 feet of landscaping along East-'Clinton Avenue (collector).---1n -
addition, the applicant will be required to install a solid wall at the rear of the required_landscape
SCIUack, whicll viii mitigate the adverse effect of noise generated by vehicles traveling on the adjacent
major streets.
The proposed subdivision abuts a planned expressway street (Temperance Avenue). In order to meet
the Expressway Area (EA) zone district standards, the developer is required to install 26 feet of
landscaping along North Temperance 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. The wall along Temperance Avenue shall be designed in accordance with the acoustical
analysis prepared by Brown-Buntin Associates dated April 25, 2007, which addresses the noise impacts
resulting from vehicle traffic on Temperance Avenue in this area.
The developer is required to construct a multi-purpose trail within an easement along the north side of
the Mill Ditch, within the limits of the subdivision. The multi-purpose trail will be placed within a minimum
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Rezone Application No. R-04-44
June 26, 2007
Page 5
26-foot wide easement plus seven feet of property within the public right-of-way between the easement
and the curb of the local street adjacent to the easement.
Staff is also requiring the project to provide additional landscaping and wrap-around walls at the entry
points of the subdivision from the adjacent major streets, improving the visual image. The project also
incorporates a walkway of a minimum of 15 feet which will connect this subdivision with North
Temperance Avenue thus allowing residents living in the subdivision to access the multi-purpose trail on
the west side of North Temperance Avenue. The walkway will help meet several of the goals of the 2025
Fresno General Plan, including Goal No. 10 which states that we (i.e. the City along with developers)
"provide quality open space, park and recreational facilities".
The subdivision also proposes internal mid block pedestrian walkways (Paseo's) to allow for more
convenient access to the multi-purpose trail along the Mill Ditch from the lots in the northerly portion of
the subdivision.
Public Services
Water Resources and Public Water Supply
The Water Division of the Department of Public Utilities has determined that there is an adequate
source of water available to serve the project with the implementation of the UGM service delivery
requirements and environmental impact mitigation measures. The nearest presently available water
service line is located in Clinton Avenue at Temperance Avenue.
The, Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that permanent flood control
service is available for this project upon construction of required facilities.
Implementation of the 2025 Fresno General Plan policies, mitigation measures of Master Environmental
Impact Report No. 10130, the Water Resources Management Plan, and the mitigation measures
identified by the project environmental assessment/initial study will provide an adequate, reliable and
sustainable water supply for the project's urban domestic and public safety consumptive purposes. -
Sewage Collection System, Capacity
The Cities of Fresno and Clovis share jointly in the treatment capacity of the Fresno-Clovis Regional
Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility. In 1998, the treatment capacity was expanded to
accommodate up to 80 million gallons per day, and was upgraded with modernized equipment to
safeguard against equipment failures. However, in an attempt to serve the anticipated 790,000
metropolitan area population for the year 2025, one or more sub-regional treatment and reclamation
facilities will be required.
While the proposed project may presently be accommodated by the Fowler Avenue Trunk Sewer,
previous public facility and environmental analyses have projected that the Fowler Avenue Trunk Sewer
does not have sufficient design capacity to accommodate the sewage flows that could be generated by
full development of the McLane Community Plan area and the Southeast Growth Area.
To address this concern, the City of Fresno is pursuing several options to increase sewage collection
and treatment capacity for the eastern portion of the metropolitan area. The North Avenue Trunk Sewer
has been constructed to serve the easterly and southerly areas and supplement the other trunk sewers'
capacity to accommodate development of the east and southeast areas. The City of Fresno has
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Rezone Application No. R-04-44
June 26, 2007
Page 6
negotiated a temporary exchange of sewer capacity with the City of Clovis for its Fowler trunk sewer
capacity. This temporary exchange of capacity is conditioned upon Fresno replacing capacity
exchanged in the Fowler trunk sewer with capacity in future facilities to be determined. Necessary and
appropriate fees to provide for the replacement of said Fowler trunk capacity exchange have not yet
been adopted by the City Council. Mitigation measures and tract map conditions of approval will include
a requirement that the developer pay an "Interim Fee Surety." Any amount paid above and beyond the
required fee surety shall be refunded once the fee has been adopted.
Clovis Unified School District
The project site is served by the Clovis Unified School District and is within the attendance boundaries
of Temperance-Kutner Elementary School (North Armstrong and East Olive Avenues), Reyburn
Intermediate School and Clovis East High School. Reyburn Intermediate School and Clovis East High
School are both located in the Reagan Educational Complex which is bound by -East Ashlan, East
Gettysburg, North Locan and North DeWolf Avenues.
Because of the rapid growth occurring within the district's boundaries, the school district has advised the
city that future adjustments of school attendance areas could occur such that students residing in the
proposed project will attend an elementary school other than Temperance-Kutner and that students may
attend more than one elementary school during their elementary school years. Furthermore, the school
district has adopted development fees in accordance with current state law and currently levies a
development fee based on square footage, which the project site will be subject to at the time of
development.
Circulation Element Plan Policies and Major Street System Traffic Capacity
The 2025 Fresno General Plan designates East Clinton Avenue as a collector street, with an 84-foot
right-of-way width and North Temperance Avenue as an expressway street, which typically requires a
minimum 124-foot right-of-way. The applicant will be required to dedicate and construct improvements
on ,East Clinton and North Temperance Avenues. Other improvements include the:.construction of curb,
gutter,sidewalk, and transition paving within the limits of the tract; construction of an underground street
lighting syztem; u�-.U' of access rights io North Temperance and East Linton Avenues for
all residential lots adjacent to these major street frontages. These street improvements are outlined in
more detail in the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5341/UGM Conditions of Approval dated May 16,
2007.
A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was prepared for the proposed project by TPG Consulting, Inc. dated May
2006. The traffic study analyzed a 270-lot single family residential subdivision on the 58-acre project
site which was the project proposed on the subject property at that time. That project was expected to
generate an average of 2,584 vehicle trips per day (VTD), which includes 202 a.m. and 273 p.m. peak
hour trips.
The traffic study analyzed the intersections of East Clinton and North Temperance Avenues, East
McKinley and North Temperance Avenues and East Shields and North Temperance Avenues. In
addition, the study analyzed the project's impact on segments of North Temperance Avenue between
East Shields and East Clinton Avenues and between East McKinley and East Clinton Avenues.

An important goal is to maintain acceptable levels of service along the highway and street network. To
accomplish this, local agencies adopt minimum levels of service (LOS) in an attempt to control
congestion that may result as new development occurs. Caltrans' minimum LOS is C except where
prohibitive, according to information specified in Caltrans' A Guide For Traffic Impact Studies. The City
of Fresno's minimum LOS design standard is LOS D. Traffic impacts are considered to occur whenever
the LOS exceeds D on the City street system, or C on the State highway system
The results of the study determined that all intersections and road segments that were analyzed are
operating at acceptable levels of service at this time, with the exception of the intersection of Shields
and Temperance Avenues which is currently operating at a LOS F during the a.m. and p.m. peak hour.
In addition, the study projected that all intersections and road segments will operate at an acceptable
level of service in the year 2025, with the eventual signalization and widening of the intersections to City
standards. This assumption is based on the recommendation that all studied intersections along
Temperance Avenue be designed with dual left turn lanes on each approach. Traffic Engineering staff
is requiring the installation of a traffic signal at the intersections of Shields and Temperance Avenues
and Clinton and Temperance Avenues as a condition to this project.
Because the immediately surrounding properties are not developed, the planned major street and
intersection improvements have not yet been completed as required by adopted plans, policies and
development standards. However, the proposed project as well as other urban land uses developed as
planned by the 2025 Fresno General Plan will be required to construct the planned major street system
consistent with the public facility and service delivery requirements of the Urban Growth Management
Program. In addition, the developer of this project, in accordance with the mitigation measures of
Master Environmental Impact Report (No. 10130) certified by the Council with the adoption of the 2025
Fresno General Plan, will be required to pay impact fees specific to the traffic signalization of the e major
street intersections.
State Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations
has commented that they-will not be requiring mitigation for this project.
CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION
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 McLane Community Plan; its compatibility
with surrounding existing or proposed uses; and its avoidance or mitigation of potentially significant
adverse environmental impacts. Upon consideration of this evaluation, it can be concluded that Rezone
Application No. R-04-44 is appropriate for the project site.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
An environmental assessment initial study was prepared for this project in accordance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. This process included
the distribution of requests for comment from other responsible or affected agencies and interested
organizations. The proposed project has been determined to be fully within the scope of MEIR No.
10130 as provided by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as codified in the Public
Resources Code (PRC) Section 21157.1(d) and the CEQA Guidelines Section 15177(c). It has been_
- further determined that all applicable mitigation measures of MEIR No. 10130 have been applied to the
oroiect. together with project.-specific mitigation measures ncca�'cary that t"o 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). 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 January 16, 2007, which incorporates a
MEIR Mitigation Monitoring Checklist. This environmental finding was properly published on January
17, 2007, with no comments received.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The applicant, Bonadelle Homes, Inc. has filed Rezone Application No. R-04-44 and Vesting Tentative
Tract Map No. 5341/UGM for approximately 58 (net) acres of property located on the south side of East
Clinton Avenue between North Temperance and North Locan Avenues . The rezone application
proposes to reclassify the subject property from the AE-20 (County) zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single
Family ResidentiaYUrban Growth Management) zone district. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
5341/UGM proposes to subdivide the 58-acre site into a 264-lot single family residential subdivision at
an overall density of 4.5 dwelling units per acre.
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION

On November 19, 2002, the City Council, through Resolution No. 2002-379, adopted the 2025 Fresno
General Plan which also adopted the McLane Community Plan. The McLane Community Plan
designates the subject property for medium low (2.19-4.98 dwelling units per acre) density residential
land uses. The applicant,wishes to pursue development of the subject property with 264 single family
homes. The requested R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district
is considered consistent with the medium low density residential land use designation. Furthermore, the
proposed development with a density of 4.5 dwelling units per acre demonstrates that the project site
will be developed within the overall density of dwelling units anticipated by the 2025 Fresno General
Plan and McLane Community Plan.
Subdivision Design/Streets and Access Points
This subdivision is proposed to have four access points to East Clinton Avenue. Access to Temperance
Avenues is not permitted since itis a designated expressway street and Locan Avenue does not extend
south of Clinton Avenue. The subdivision also proposes a street connection to the property to the south.
The Public Works Department, Transportation Planning Section has reviewed the rezone application
and tentative tract map. Public Works staff has determined that the streets adjacent to and near the
subject site will be able to accommodate the quantity and kind of traffic generated, subject to the
dedication and improvement of adjacent portions of East Clinton and North Temperance Avenues to
their ultimate planned width.
Landscaping/Open Space/Walls
The developer will be required to install 15 feet of landscaping along East Clinton Avenue (collector). 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 streets.
The proposed subdivision abuts a planned expressway street (Temperance Avenue). In order to meet
the Expressway Area (EA) zone district standards, the developer is required to install 26 feet of
landscaping along.North Temperance 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. The wall along Temperance Avenue shall be designed in accordance with the acoustical
analysis prepared by Brown-Buntin Associates dated April 25, 2007, which addresses the noise impacts
resulting from vehicle traffic on Temperance Avenue in this area.
The developer is required to construct a multi-purpose trail within an easement along the north side of
the Mill Ditch, within the limits of the subdivision. The multi-purpose trail will be placed within a minimum
26-foot wide easement plus seven feet of property within the public right-of-way between the easement
and the curb of the local street adjacent to the easement.
Staff is also requiring the project to provide additional landscaping and wrap-around walls at the entry
points of the subdivision from the adjacent major streets, improving the visual image. The project also
incorporates a walkway of a minimum of 23 feet which will connect this subdivision with North
Temperance Avenue thus allowing residents living in the subdivision to access the multi-purpose trail on
the west side of North Temperance Avenue. The walkway will help meet several of the goals of the 2025
Fresno General Plan, including Goal No. 10 which states that we (i.e. the City along with developers)
"provide quality open space, park and recreational facilities

The subdivision also proposes internal mid block pedestrian walkways (Paseo's) to allow for more
convenient access to the multi-purpose trail along the Mill Ditch from the lots in the northerly portion of
the subdivision.
McLane Community Plan
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the McLane Community Plan. There is
currently not a committee in place for this area.
Public Services
Water Resources and Public Water Supply
The Water Division of the Department of Public Utilities has determined that there is an adequate
source of water available to serve the project with the implementation of the_UGM service delivery
requirements and environmental impact mitigation measures. The nearest presently available water
service line is located in Clinton Avenue at Temperance Avenue.
The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that permanent flood control
service is available for this project upon construction of required facilities.
Implementation of the 2025 Fresno General Plan policies, mitigation measures of Master Environmental
Impact Report No. 10130, the Water Resources Management Plan, and the mitigation measures
identified by the project environmental assess ment/initial study will provide an adequate, reliable and
sustainable water supply for the project's urban domestic and public safety consumptive purposes.
Sewage Collection System Capacity
The Cities of Fresno and Clovis share jointly in the treatment capacity of the Fresno-Clovis Regional
Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility. In 1998, the treatment capacity was expanded to
accommodate up to 80 million gallons per day, and was upgraded with modernized equipment to -
safeguard against equipment failures. ' However, in an attempt to serve the anticipated 790,000
-,,t�u6polit in area popuiadon for the year 2025, one or more sub-regional treatment and reclamation
facilities will be required.
While the proposed project may presently be accommodated by the Fowler Avenue Trunk Sewer,
previous public facility and environmental analyses have projected that the Fowler Avenue Trunk Sewer
does not have sufficient design capacity to accommodate the sewage flows that could be generated by
full development of the McLane Community Plan area and the Southeast Growth Area.
To address this concern, the City of Fresno is pursuing several options to increase sewage collection
and treatment capacity for the eastern portion of the metropolitan area. The North Avenue Trunk Sewer
has been constructed to serve the easterly and southerly areas and supplement the other trunk sewers'
capacity to accommodate development of the east and southeast areas. The City of Fresno has
negotiated a temporary exchange of sewer capacity with the City of Clovis for its Fowler trunk sewer
capacity. This temporary exchange of capacity is conditioned upon Fresno replacing capacity
exchanged in the Fowler trunk sewer with capacity in future facilities to be determined. Necessary and
appropriate fees to provide for the replacement of said Fowler trunk capacity exchange have not yet
been adopted by the City Council. Mitigation measures and tract map conditions of approval will include

a requirement that the developer pay an "Interim Fee Surety." Any amount paid above and beyond the
required fee surety shall be refunded once the fee has been adopted.
Clovis Unified School District
The project site is served by the Clovis Unified School District and is within the attendance boundaries
of Temperance-Kutner Elementary School (North Armstrong and East Olive Avenues), Reyburn
Intermediate School and Clovis East High School. Reybum Intermediate School and Clovis East High
School are both located in the Reagan Educational Complex which is bound by East Ashlan, East
Gettysburg, North Locan and North DeWolf Avenues.
Because of the rapid growth occurring within the district's boundaries, the school district has advised the
city that future adjustments of school attendance areas could occur such that students residing in the
proposed project will attend an elementary school other than Temperance-Kutner and that students may
attend more than one elementary school during their elementary school years. Furthermore, the school
district has adopted development fees in accordance with current state law and currently levies a
development fee based on square footage, which the project site will be subject to at 'the 'time of
development.
Circulation Element Plan Policies and Major Street System Traffic Capacity
The 2025 Fresno General Plan designates East Clinton Avenue as a collector street, with an 84-foot
right-of-way width and North Temperance Avenue as an expressway street, which typically requires a
minimum 124-foot right-of-way. The applicant will be required to dedicate and construct improvements
on East Clinton and North Temperance Avenues. Other improvements include the construction of curb,
gutter, sidewalk, and transition paving within the limits of the tract; construction of an underground street
lighting system; and relinquishment of access rights to North Temperance and East Clinton Avenues for
a.11 residential lots adjacent to these major street frontages. These street improvements are outlined in
more detail in the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5341/UGM Conditions of Approval dated May 16,
2007.

2006. The traffic study analyzed a 270-lot single family residential subdivision on the 58-acre project
site which was the project proposed on the subject property at that time. That project was expected to
generate an average of 2,584 vehicle trips per day (VTD), which includes 202 a.m. and 273 p.m. peak
hour trips.
The traffic study analyzed the intersections of East Clinton and North Temperance Avenues, East
McKinley and North Temperance Avenues and East Shields and North Temperance Avenues. In
addition, the study analyzed the project's impact on segments of North Temperance Avenue between
East Shields and East Clinton Avenues and between East McKinley and East Clinton Avenues.
An important goal is to maintain acceptable levels of service along the highway and street network. To
accomplish this, local agencies adopt minimum levels of service (LOS) in an attempt to control
congestion that may result as new development occurs. Caltrans' minimum LOS is C except where
prohibitive, according to information specified in Caltrans' A Guide For Traffic Impact Studies. The City
of Fresno's minimum LOS design standard is LOS D. Traffic impacts are considered to occur whenever
the LOS exceeds 0 on the City street system, or C on the State highway system

The results of the study determined that all intersections and road segments that were analyzed are
operating at acceptable levels of service at this time, with the exception of the intersection of Shields
and Temperance Avenues which is currently operating at a LOS F during the a.m. and p.m. peak hour.
In addition, the study projected that all intersections and road-segments will operate at an acceptable
level of service in the year 2025, with the eventual signalization and widening of the intersections to City
standards. This assumption is based on the recommendation that all studied intersections along
Temperance Avenue be designed with dual left turn lanes on each approach. Traffic Engineering staff
is requiring the installation of a traffic signal at the intersections of Shields and Temperance Avenues
and Clinton and Temperance Avenues as a condition to this project.
Because the immediately surrounding properties are not developed, the planned major street and
intersection improvements have not yet been completed as required by adopted plans, policies and
development standards. However, the proposed project as well as other urban land uses developed as
planned by the 2025 Fresno General Plan will be required to construct the planned major street system
consistent with the public facility and service delivery requirements of the Urban Growth Management
Program. In addition, the developer of this project, in accordance with the mitigation measures of
Master Environmental Impact Report (No. 10130) certified by the Council with the adoption of the 2025
Fresno General Plan, will be required to pay impact fees specific to the traffic signalization of the major
street intersections.
State Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations
has commented that they will not be requiring mitigation for this project.
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 deriied 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 2025 Fresno
General Plan and the McLane 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 these plan designations.
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. Furthermore,
the applicant will be required to improve adjacent public streets, including installing curb gutter and
sidewalks along West Clinton and North Temperance Avenues which will improve the flow of
traffic in the area.
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Rezone Application No. R-04-44
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5341/UGM
May 16, 2007
Page 7
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 area is not known to contain any unique or endangered species. Although the site has
historically been used for agricultural purposes, during the 2025 Fresno General Plan update, the
city analyzed the impacts of converting land into urban uses and determined that it is necessary to
convert land within the sphere of influence in an attempt to provide housing, growth, employment
opportunities, etc.
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 insure that the
subdivision conforms with city health and safety standards.
5. The proposed subdivision design will not conflict with public easements within or through the site,
because conditions of approval will assure noninterference with any existing-or proposed public
easements.
6. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, because of the appropriate use and placement
of landscaping plant materials and because of the orientation of the proposed lots.
The subdivision map, subject to the recommended conditions of approval, complies with the design and
property development standards of the Zoning Ordinance and local Subdivision Ordinance.
Based upon the plans and information submitted by the applicant and the recommended conditions of-
project approval, staff has determined that these findings can be made.
CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION
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 McLane Community Plan; its compatibilityA.with 6u,-,uulSUN ly. C/,ItWl 1(y. or NwPusuu uses; Arid its avoidance or mitigation of potentially sigi iincant
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 Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5341/UGM is appropriate for the project site, subject to the
conditions listed below. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission:
1. RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the environmental finding for Environmental Assessment
No. R-04-44/T-5341 dated January 16, 2007 that the project proposal conforms to the provisions
of the 2025 Fresno General Plan Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR No. 10130).
2. RECOMMEND APPROVAL to the City Council of Rezone Application No. R-04-44 which
proposes to rezone the project site from the AE-20 (County) zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single
Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district.
3. APPROVE Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5341/UGM subject to compliance with the Conditions
of Approval dated May 16, 2007.

(NPDES) permitting, to implement controls to reduce pollutants, prohibit the discharge of waters
other than storm water to the municipal storm drain system, and meet water quality standards. Z
These requirements apply both to pollutants generated during construction, and to those which O
may be generated by.operations at the development after construction.
■
a• State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction
Activities, approved August 1999, (modified December 2002.) A State General
Construction Permit is required for all clearing, grading, and disturbances to the
ground that result in soil disturbance of at least one acre (or less than one acre if part of
a larger common plan of development or sale). Permittees are required to: submit a
Notice of Intent to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources 04
Control Board (State Board), develop and implement a storm water pollution j
prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
EXHIBIT NO. 2
The cost of construction of Master Plan facilities, excluding dedication of storm drainage easements,
is eligible for credit against the drainage fee of the drainage area served by the facilities. A
Development Agreement shall be executed with the District to effect such credit. Reimbursement
provisions, in accordance with the Drainage Fee Ordinance, will be included to the extent that
Developer's Master Plan costs for an individual drainage area exceed the fee of said area. Should the
facilities cost for such individual area total less than the fee of said area,the difference shall be paid
upon demand to the City or District.
Tract 5341 is required to grant drainage covenants, street right-of-way or non-Master Plan pipe
extension for the southwesterly portion of Parcel 310-052-25 to allow surface runoff to reach
existing/future Master Planned facilities located within the tract.
A minimum fifteen-foot (15) wide storm drain easement will be required whenever storm drain
facilities are located on private property. No encroachments into the easement will be permitted
including, but not limited to, foundations, roof overhangs, swimming pools, and trees.
The easement may be slightly realigned to accommodate future development,provided the property
owner accepts the responsibility to grade the property such that the drainage from the property will
reach inlets on the alternate pipeline alignment,and accepts any additional costs for the construction
of additional storm drain facilities that may be required. Any proposed storm drain alignments must
be reviewed and approved by the District.
The Tentative Map should be revised to correctly show the District's adjoining property along
the entire south perimeter. This would include removing notes and line work labeling "25'
exception" and "an easement for FMFCD". The Mill Ditch labels in plan and section views
should be relabeled as Redbank Creek. T�iL"' *c1: e:.e^u� eastcr'.y frc�., LLLC, prVJ ction of the

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
EXHIBIT NO. 2
The developer shall provide chain link fence to District standards along all areas where the
proposed trail would adjoin or make use of District property. and no existing chain link fence
exists to provide site security to Redbank Creek and the Detention Basin. Additionally,with the
lot pattern shown, continuation of the trail along Redbank Creek to the southwest would require
use of District property which would have to be authorized by the District's Board of Directors.
Since this geometry cannot be guaranteed and is dependent on future development patterns,
proposed Lots 130 and 131 should be reconfigured to be an Outlot. This would allow future
extension of the trail across the Outlot if necessary or conversion of the Outlot to buildable
parcels if not used for the trail.
The proposed stub street to.the south (near Temperance), which requires crossing of District
property, is acceptable to the District. Access from Temperance Avenue may be able to be
eliminated at a future date if adequate access can be provided across the trail at approximately
the extension of proposed Stanley Avenue to reach the District's control structure on Redbank
Creek(see FMFCD Access Road on Exhibit No. 1). Such access would require construction of
hardened, vehicle traffic capable surfaces and an adequate gate where the access would cross
the south side of the proposed trail.

Dear Mr. Braun:
We have received the revised map for the rezone and tract map proposing to develop a 264-lot single-
family residential subdivision on the southeast corner of North Temperance and East Clinton Avenues.
Caltrans has the following comments:
Caltrans estimates that traffic generated by this development could impact the State Route(SR) 168
interchange at McKinley Avenue and the future Freeway 180 interchanges at Fowler and Temperance.
Previous traffic studies have not identified the need for any future improvements to these interchanges.
We are therefore not asking for mitigation from this project. However, we anticipate that there may be a.
future need for an auxiliary lane for the SR 168 northbound on-ramp from McKinley Avenue and we
may ask subsequent development to provide mitigation for this improvement.
The City should consider a transit alternative for this project. This is a large residential project and when
combined with other projects in the area, there is sufficient 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 a'nd comment. Please see Attachment Number 1"for
other recommended transTi rtntir%n aitPr-nnt*,rP�_

Dear Mr. Braun:
We have reviewed the rezone and tract snap proposing to develop a 270-lot single-family
residential subdivision on the southeast comer of North Temperance and East Clinton
Avenues. Caltrans has the following comments:
There is insufficient information to evaluate this project's impacts to the
transportation/circulation system. A traffic impact study is needed to assess the project's
impact on the State Highway System and to identify appropriate mitigation to reduce
those impacts to a level less than significant.
_Caltrans estimates that this project will add approximately 270 trips during peak travel
times. We further estimate that a significant number of these trips_will,imnact_the State_
Route (SR) 180/Fowler Avenue interchange. The City should also be aware that
continued land use changes, such as this rezone, have the potential to create cumulatively
significant impacts to both transportation and air quality. 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 these impacts.
It is Caltrans' understanding that the 2025 General Plan MEIR requires projects that will
produce 100 or more peak-hour trips (as this project will do) 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). Has such an analysis been done?
As the City's General Plan Update did not analyze for impacts State facilities, a Traffic
Impact Study (TIS) is needed to assess these impacts and provide appropriate mitigation
measures. As per the City's policy, please have the preparer of the traffic study reference
the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies, dated December 2002,
and send the scope of the TIS to Caltrans before the traffic study is conducted. Caltrans

Page
Guide, while advisory, contains Best Practices and gives insight into Caltrans'
expectations when reviewing a traffic study. If the traffic consultant has any issues or
concerns regarding the use of the Guide or its interpretation, please contact us so
resolution can be reached.
The project is in the general area of the proposed Fancher Creek development. While
Measure C money was used to expand the design of the new SR 180 freeway to
accommodate Fancher Creek, intensified residential development (such as this proposed
project) could create additional impacts to the State's facilities. SR 180 was designed
with a 20-year planning horizon, based on planned land uses in the Citv of Fresno's
General Plan in effect at the time (1984 General Plan). Decisions by the City of Fresno to
intensify land uses will impact SR 180 and will shorten the life span of the-freeway. The
increase in traffic represents a cumulatively significant impact, beyond what was
anticipated by our freeway design (and the subsequent re-design to accommodate Fancher
Creek), and will contribute to the decrease in the viability of the freeway.
The City should consider a transit alternative for this project. This is a large residential
project and when combined with other projects in the area, there is sufficient
.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 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 Planning Commission. This will provide the decision-making body and the general
public with a complete and accurate environmental evaluation for the project.
If you have any questions, please call me at (559) 445-6666.

CITY OF FRESNO
Dear Mr. Braun:
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 Air Basin is classified non-attainment for ozone and fine particulate matter
(PM10). This project will contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to increased traffic and
ongoing operational emissions. This project may generate significant air emissions, and it will reduce the
air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. The project will make it more difficult to meet mandated emission
reductions and air quality standards. A concerted effort should be made to reduce project-related
emissions as outlined below:
Preliminary analysis indicated that the potential emissions from this project exceed the District's
Thresholds of Significance for adverse air quality impacts. These thresholds are 10 tons per year for
either of the following two ozone precursor emissions: reactive organic gases (ROG) or oxides of nitrogen
(NOx). The District notes that both the operational/area emissions and construction emissions may
generate significant emissions of ozone precursors, and exceed the District's thresholds. The District
recommends the preparation of an Air Quality Impact Assessment (AQIA) and a Traffic Impact Study to
- determine impacts when projects are of this size, unless an analysis has been accomplished for a recent
previous approval such as a general plan amendment or zone,change. Please indicate to the District if
the project has been analyzed and what the results were from any previous study.
The District recommends using the URBEMIS 2002 program to calculate project construction, area and
operational emissions and to identify mitigation measures that reduce impacts. URBEMIS can be
downloaded from the South Coast Air Quality Management District's website at:
http://www.agmd.clov/cega/urbemis.html. If the analysis reveals that the emissions generated by this
project will exceed the District's thresholds, this project may significantly impact the ambient air quality if
not sufficiently mitigated. The project applicant or consultant is encouraged to consult with District staff
for assistance in determining appropriate methodology and model inputs. Questions regarding URBEMIS
2002 should be directed to Jennifer Barba or Hector Guerra at (559) 230-5800.
Based on the information provided, the proposed project will be subject to the following District rules. 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.valleVair.org/rules/1 ruleslist.htm.
District Rules 4901 (Wood Burning Fireplaces and Wood Burning Heaters) and District Rule 4902
(Residential Water Heaters) to limit the emissions of PM10 and NOx in residential developments.
Please note that on July 17, 2003, amendments to Rule 4901 were adopted by the District's
Mr. Braun June 30, 2004
T-5341, R-04-44 Page 2
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 shall 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 11 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.
More information about Rule 4901 can be found at our website- www.vallevair.org. For
compliance assistance, please contact Mr. Wayne Clarke, Air Quality Compliance Manager, at
230-5968.
District Regulation VIII (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions)- Regulation VIII (Rules 8011-8081) is a
series of rules designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) 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. A
construction assistance bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant.
Please be advised that the District is currently amending Regulation Vlll and anticipates
implementing revised requirements on or about October 1, 2004. If construction were to
commence on or after October 1, 2004, the applicant should contact the District to
determine where requirements may have changed and how rule changes may affect the
project.
District Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance
Operations). If asphalt paving will be used, then paving operations of this project will be subject
to Rule 4641. This rule applies to the manufacture and use of cutback asphalt, slow cure asphalt
and emulsified asphalt for paving and maintenance operations.
District Rule 4103 (Open Burning) 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. - -
District Hule 4102 (Nuisance) applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air
contaminants or other materials. In the event that the project, or construction of the project,
creates a public nuisance, it could be in violation and be subject to District enforcement action.
There are a number of measures that can be incorporated into the construction phase of the project to
provide additional reductions to construction emissions. The measures listed below should not be
considered all-inclusive and remain options that the project proponent should consider.
From Table 6-3 of the District's Guide to Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts 2002
revision (GAMAQI)
- Limit Traffic Speeds on unpaved roads to 15 mph
- Install Sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public
roadways from sites with a slope greater than one percent
- Install wheel washers for all exiting trucks, or was off all trucks and equipment leaving
the site
- Install wind breaks at windward side(s) of construction areas
Suspend excavation and grading activity when winds exceed 20 mph
- Limit area subject to excavation, grading, and other construction activity at any one
times
Mr. Braun June 30, 2004
T-5341, R-04-44 Page 3
From Table 6-4 of the GAMAQI
Use of Alternative fueled or catalyst equipped diesel construction equipment.
The project applicant should identify the construction equipment that can feasibly be switched
from conventional to alternative-fueled or catalyst-equipped diesel equipment. The project
applicant should identify a minimum of alternative fueled or catalyst-equipped diesel
construction equipment that will be used for this project. As an example of alternative fuels,
not all biodiesels or biodiesel blends will result in reduced NOx emissions. According to the
EPA's website, biodiesel use generally results in an increase in NOx emissions. The
California Air Resources Board (CARS) has certified specific biodiesels for NOx reduction.
Only biodiesels that have been certified by CARS should be used. For more information on
biodiesel or other types of alternative fuels, please call Mr. Chris Acree, Air Quality Specialist,
at (559) 230-5829.
- Minimize idling time (e.g. 10 minute maximum)
Institute idling limits to prevent unnecessary diesel emissions. Engines should be shut off
when not in use, including during breaks and lunches.
- Limit the hours of operation of heavy duty equipment and/or the amount of equipment
in use
The project applicant should specify the conditions of reduced hours or reduced amount of
equipment. Will operation hours be reduced under certain circumstances such as during
levels of high ambient air pollution or high temperatures? Will the amount of equipment in
use be reduced during peak travel on nearby roads? To what degree is it anticipated that this
mitigation measure will be implemented? -
- Replace fossil-fueled equipment with electrically driven equivalents (provided they are
not run via a portable generator set)
The project applicant should determine the construction equipment that will be electrically
driven.
- Curtail construction during periods of high ambient pollutant concentrations; this may
include ceasing of construction activity during the peak-hour of vehicular traffic on
adjacent roadways
fhe project applicant should state the criteria for curtailing construction activities, and the
steps that will be taken to reduce emissions. For curtailment during periods of high ambient.
pollutant concentrations, the criteria should be set in terms of the Air Quality Index. At what
level of air quality will the project reduce construction activities, and to what extent will
activities be reduced? See the table below for more information on the Air Quality Index.
Air Quality Index Numerical Meaning
Levels of Health Concern Value
Good 0-50 Air quality is considered satisfactory,and air pollution poses
little or no risk.
Moderate 51-100 Air quality is acceptable;however,for some pollutants there
may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of
people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Unhealthy for 101-150 Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects.
Sensitive Groups The general public is not likely to be affected.
Unhealthy 151-200 Everyone may begin to experience health effects;members
of sensitive groups may experience more serious health
effects.
Very Unhealthy. 201-300 Health alert:everyone may experience more serious health
effects.
Hazardous >300 Health warnings of emergency conditions.The entire
population is more likely to be affected.

Mr. Braun June 30,2004
T-5341, R-04-44 Page 4
- Implement activity management (e.g. rescheduling activities to reduce short-term
impacts)
The applicant should specify what measures will be implemented.
Additional Mitigation Measures
- When feasible, construction activity should occur during early morning, late evening,
and night time hours. Ozone formation is directly related to temperature and sunlight. If
the project emits short-lived ozone precursors during cooler hours, the project's local impact
will be reduced.
- Pave haul roads in the project area.
- Construction equipment should have engines that are at least Tier I (as certified by the
Air Resources Board). Tier I and Tier II engines have a significantly less PM and NOx
emissions compared to uncontrolled engines. To find engines certified by the Air Resources
Board, see http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/offroad/cert/cert.php. This site lists engines by
type, then manufacturer. The "Executive Order" shows what Tier the engine is certified as.
- Participate in the District's Heavy Duty Engine Program. The District has a Heavy-Duty
Engine program to help engine owners reduce emissions. The Heavy Duty program provides
incentives for the replacement of older diesel engines with new, cleaner, fuel-efficient diesel
engines. The program also provides incentives for the re-power of older, heavy-duty trucks
with cleaner diesel engines or alternative fuel engines. New alternative fuel heavy-duty
trucks also qualify. For more information regarding this program, contact the District at (559)
230-5858 or visit our website at httr):www.vallevair.org/transportation/heavvdutyidx.htm.
- Additional Construction Mitigation.
See the Air Resources Board's website for more information on reducing emissions from
diesel engines. California's Diesel Risk Reduction Plan
http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/documents/rrpapp.htm. Specifically- Appendix 3 Mobile Diesel-
Fueled Engines and Appendix 9 Diesel PM Control Technologies.
Another website for reducing construction emissions is the UC Davis-Caltrans Air Quality
Project at http://aop.enar.ucdavis.edu/.
The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. There are a number of
measures that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional
reduction.3 of the ove ail ;E;ve; of upwauui iai ai;u tired emissions. Note:. Some of the measures may'-
already
ay .already exist as City development standards. Any measure selected should be implemented to the fullest
extent possible.) The measures listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options
that the project proponent should consider:
• Project design should use models put forward by the Local Government Commission (LGC) in the
"Smart Growth Guidebook," such as; street block patterns that form an interconnected grid, short
block faces, numerous alleys and narrow streets. The LGC website http://www.lgc.orci contains
valuable information and resources on subjects from street design to energy efficiency.
• 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. Sidewalks should be designed
Mr. Braun June 30,2004
T-5341, R-04-44 Page 5
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. Pathways through the project should be built in
anticipation of future growth.
Specifically: Mid-block paths should be installed to facilitate pedestrian movement through long
blocks (over 500' in length) and cul-de-sacs. Mid-block paths should be installed near the
following locations: Between lots 184/170 and 183/171
Between lots 235/260 and 236/259
Mid-block paths.should be installed to facilitate pedestrian movement from the project to the
surrounding North Temperance Avenue. A possible path location is between lots 83 and 84.
If the adjacent parcels south of the project area are designated in the General Plan as residential,
the project applicant should consider designating path locations along western border to facilitate
future mid-block pedestrian paths.
• Trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the buildings from energy consuming
environmental conditions, and to shade paved areas. Structural soil should be used under paved
areas to improve tree growth. A brochure has been included for the applicant.
For Structural Soil see http://www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/
For Tree Selection see http://www.ufei.ora
For Urban Forestry see http://www.co2lcommunities.org http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu
http://www.loc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/siv treeguidelines.pdf
• If transit service is available to the project site, improvements should be made to encourage its use.
If transit service is not currently available, but is planned for the area in the future, easements should
be reserved to provide for future improvements such as bus turnouts, loading areas, route signs and
shelters. Appropriations made to facilitate public or mass transit will help mitigate trips generated by
the project.
• As many energy-conserving features as possible should be included the project. Energy
conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and operational energy
conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to):
Increased energy efficiency (above California Title 24 Requirements)
See http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/.
- Increased wall and ceiling insulation (beyond building code requirements)
Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E)
High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material: See http://eetd.lbi.gov/coolroof/
Cool Paving. See http://www.harc.edu/harc/Protects/CoolHouston/., http://eande.lbi.gov/heatisland/
Radiant heat barrier. See http://www.eere.energy.gov/consumerinfo/refbriefs/bc7.htm]
Energy efficient lighting, appliances, heating ana cooling systems.'See http:%/www.ener6ystar.aov/
Install solar water-heating system(s)
Install photovoltaic cells
Install geothermal heat pump system(s)
- Programmable thermostat(s) for all heating and cooling systems
- 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. (e.g. natural convection, thermal flywheels)
See http://www.eere.energy.gov/RE/solar passive.html
Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom
windows etc. See http://www.advancedbuildings.org
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 wood-burning fireplaces or heaters)
-
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
Mr. Braun June 30,2004
T-5341, R-04-44 Page 6
- 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
More information can be found at:
http://www.lgc.org, http://www.sustainable.doe.gov/, http://www.consumerenergycenter.orq/index.htmi
http://www.ciwmb-ca.gov/Green Building
• The applicant should implement measures to reduce the amount of vehicle traffic to and from the
project area that further reduce air pollution in the valley. This could include providing an information
center for residents to coordinate carpooling. Check out the "Spare the Air' section of our website
www.valleyair.org
• 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. Rebate and incentive programs are offered for alternative energy
equipment. More information can found at-
http://www.dsireusa.orq/, http://rredc.nrel.gov/, http://www.eneray.ca.gov/renewables/

Residential development resulting from the project will affect the District by generating
students that will need to be housed in District schools. Assuming that the project site will

Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5341/UGM Temperance and North Locan Avenues
(APN: 310-052-21,23)
Project Description:
Rezone Application No. R-04-44 proposes to rezone approximately 63 (net) acres of property located on the
south side of East Clinton Avenue between North Temperance and North Locan Avenues from the AE-20
(County) zone district to the R-11UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5341/UGM proposes to subdivide the subject property into a 264 lot single
family residential subdivision to be developed at,a density of 4.2 dwelling units per acre. The property is
within the jurisdictions.of the McLane Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan. Both plans
designate the property for medium low(2.19 to 4.98 units per acre) density residential land uses. The subject
site is currently vacant and is predominantly surrounded by rural residential properties.
The project also includes the detachment of the subject property from the Kings River Conservation District
and the Fresno County Fire Protection District and annexation to the City of Fresno for which the Fresno
County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is the responsible agency
Conformance to Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR NO. 10130):
As previously indicated, the recently adopted 2025 Fresno General Plan designates the .subject parcel for
medium low density residential planned land uses. The requested R-1/UGM zone district conforms to the
medium low density residential land useu�.:�yi�a qui i as ir161catad by the 2023 Fi u'st w General Plan "Planned
Land Use and Zone District Consistency Matrix" as well as the adopted McLane Community Plan. The
proposed project to be developed at a density of 4.2 units per acre is consistent with the medium low density
residential plan designation, pursuant to Section 12-403 of the Fresno Municipal Code.
The Planning and Development Department staff has prepared an initial study and environmental checklist
and evaluated the requested rezoning 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 single-family residential uses at an intensity
and scale that is permitted by the planned land use and proposed zoning designation for the site. Thus, the
rezoning 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 rezoning, 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. ._ 130
Environmental Assessment No. R-04-44/T-5341/UGM
Page 2
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 parcel 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 staff's finding in a manner prescribed by this section of the Guidelines and by
Section 21092 of the California Public Resources Code (CEQA provisions).
