ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No. R-03-45/T-5233 considered potential environmental
impacts associated with the subject rezone and 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,
however, it is not within the scope of Master Environmental Impact Report No. 10130. Therefore, staff has issued
a finding of a mitigated negative declaration which incorporates mitigation measures from MEIR No. 10130 as well
as project specific mitigation measures. The mitigated negative declaration was issued on November 26, 2003.
This environmental finding was properly noticed with no comments filed within the 20-day review and comment
period.
BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS
The applicant,Bonadelle Development, has filed Rezone Application No. R-03-45 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map
No. 5233/UGM for 80 acres of property located on the south side of East Shields Avenue between North
Temperance and North Armstrong Avenues. The rezone application is requesting a zone change from the AE-20
(County) zone district to the R-1/EA/UGM (Single Family Residential/Expressway ArealUrban Growth
Management) zone district. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5233/UGM is proposing to subdivide the subject
property into 347 single family residential lots for a density of 4.3 units per acre.
On November 19, 2002, the City Council, through Resolution No. 2002-379, adopted the 2025 Fresno General
Plan which updated the McLane Community Plan. The updated Community Plan designates the subject property
for medium low density residential land use. The applicant wishes to pursue development of the subject property
with 347 single family homes. The requested R-1/EA/UGM zone district conforms to this. medium density
residential land use designation as indicated by the 2025 Fresno General Plan's "Planned Land Use and Zone
District Consistency Matrix".
-Surrounding land uses are characterized by vacant,agriculture and rural residences to the north, south,west and
east. Access to the subject site will be from North Temperance, East Shields and North Armstrong Avenues,
which are all major(expressway, arterial and collector, respectively)streets. The traffic generated by this project
can be accommodated by the planned circulation system with street improvements completed by the project as
required by development standards, Urban Growth Management (UGM) Service Delivery policies and Master

Environmental Impact Report No. 10130 mitigation measures. Sewer and water infrastructure availability and
service demands have been verified by the Department of Public Utilities with required facilities to be located in
North Armstrong, North Temperance and East Shields Avenues.
Waiter Resources and Public Water Supply
The Water Division of the Public Utilities Department estimates that the proposed residential project will have an
estimated peak water demand of 736 gallons per minute. The nearest presently available water service lines are
located in East Shields and North Armstrong Avenues. It has been determined that there is an adequate source
of water available to serve the project with the implementation of UGM service delivery requirements and
environmental impact mitigation measures.
The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District(FMFCD)has indicated,that this project can be accommodated by
the district. The developer will be required to construct FMFCD "Master Plan facilities" as determined by the
district.
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. These measures include the construction of
one or more water supply well sites, including wellhead treatment facilities, which will be dedicated to the City of
Fresno. The applicant also must dedicate a water supply and treatment site for installation of an above-ground
water storage and treatment facility that will be installed and/or constructed by the City.
Sewage Collection System Capacity
Several major facility improvement projects have been implemented at the City of Fresno's Regional Wastewater
Treatment and Reclamation Facility in order to accommodate the projected rates of population and employment
growth up to a projected population holding capacity of 590,000 people. These improvements have been
completed to provide an expanded wastewater treatment and reclamation capacity of 80 million gallons per day
(MGD)which is sufficient to accommodate continued planned urban development.including the proposed project.
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 Trunk Sewer does not have sufficient design
capacity to accommodate the sewage flows that could be generated by full development of the McLane and
Roosevelt Community Plan areas, including 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. Conditions of approval include the
payment of an "interim surety fee"for the future costs to provide replacement in the Fowler trunk sewer to Clovis
based on the capacity used by this project. Once the fee has been adopted by the City Council, any fees paid in
excess will be refunded to the developer.

The Public Utilities Department has determined that the estimated average daily sewage flow generated by this
project is 119,715 gallons per day. It has also been determined by Public Utilities Department staff that adequate
sanitary sewer service is available to serve the project, subject to the mitigation measures imposed with the
environmental assessment. The nearest public sanitary sewer main to serve this.project is located in East Shields
and North Fowler Avenues.
Circulation Element Plan Policies and Major Street System Traffic Capacity
The 2025 Fresno General Plan designates East Shields Avenue as an arterial street requiring 110-foot right-of-
way width and designates North Armstrong Avenue as a collector street which requires a 94-foot right-of-way.
Temperance Avenue is designated as an expressway street which requires a minimum of 124-foot right-of-way.
The developer will be required to dedicate and construct improvements for Temperance, Shields and Armstrong
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, North Armstrong and East Shields Avenues for all residential lots adjacent to the major street
frontages. These street improvements are outlined in more detail in the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
5233/UGM Conditions.of Approval dated December 17, 2003.
As required by the mitigation measures established by the certification of MEIR No. 10130, a traffic assessment,
dated September 29, 2003, was prepared by TPG Consulting to evaluate the number of vehicle trips projected
to be generated by the proposed project. Utilizing the Institute of Traffic Engineers(ITE)Trip Generation Manual,
Sixth Edition, and associated computer software together with the Council of Fresno County Governments'(COG)
computerized traffic model, this analysis predicts the number of vehicle trips that will be generated from the
proposed project and surrounding planned land uses, and the direction in which these trips will travel.
Development of 347 single family residential dwelling units can be expected to generate an average of
approximately 3,321 vehicle trips per day (VTD). Of these vehicle trips it is projected that 260 will occur during
the morning (7 to 9 a.m.) peak hour travel period and 351 will occur during the evening (4 to 6 p.m.) peak hour
travel period. A modest proportion of these projected trips are expected to access the planned 180 Freeway and
Fowler Avenue interchange during morning peak period (19 trips)and the evening.peak period (28 trips)and the
168 Freeway and Ashlan Avenue interchange during morning peak period (5 trips)and the evening peak period
(5 Trips). The. eastern extension .of Freeway 180 from Chestnut Avenue to the expressway transition at
Temperance Avenue is expected to occur as provided by the Measure C Transportation Sales Tax Expenditure
Plan by the year 2006. This extension includes the Fowler Avenue interchange which is expected to be designed
with adequate capacity to accommodate a twenty-year population and employment growth period.
The project traffic study further indicates that the majority of the peak hour vehicle trips are expected to utilize
Armstrong Avenue to the north and south of the project site, and Shields Avenue to the west. Because much of
the immediately surrounding area (eastern most portion of the McLane Community Plan Area) is 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)which was 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.

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations has
asserted that new development within the McLane Community Plan contributes a substantial number of additional
vehicle trips during the peak hour traffic periods (7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm) which will impact
the State Route (SR) 180 interchange at Fowler Avenue and the State Route (SR) 168 interchange at Ashlan
Avenue. Caltrans estimates that a development of this size could generate approximately 347 vehicle trips during
peak travel times. It is, therefore, recommended by Caltrans that this project contribute its proportional share for
improvements to the affected interchanges.
Although the proposed project will marginally contribute to the peak capacity deficiencies of the freeway system,
major freeway improvements are the responsibility of Caltrans and any fee related assessments imposed by
Caltrans must comply with applicable legal parameters. The City has not recommended that this state facility
traffic impact fee be imposed as a condition of project approval,as it is not evident that Caltrans has accurately
documented a project description and cost,a reliable estimate of funding sources,a justifiable nexus or connection
between the project and the need for the state facility improvements, and the reasonable proportionality of the
project's share of the improvement costs that are necessary to justify the imposition of a traffic impact fee for the
improvement of State facilities. This conclusion is based upon Caltrans's submission of varying descriptions of
the necessary freeway improvements,the imprecise estimate of costs and probable funding sources, and the lack
of adequate information to comply with Fee Mitigation Act requirements (California Government Code §§66000
et sequentes)applicable to the City of Fresno. In the absence of this documentation it is not legally permissible
for the City to impose the requested traffic impact fee.
An appropriate, reasonable and legally permissible method of addressing capacity deficiencies has been
presented to Caltrans for consideration. This method utilizes the master storm water drainage facility planning
and fee program established by the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control Agency as a model. Using this model,
Caltrans is responsible for providing a master facilities plan, development fee. schedule and assurances of
compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements (Mitigation Fee Act-AB 1600)which apply to the City
of Fresno. Should Caltrans develop a master facilities plan and development impact fee program consistent with
this model, it will be applied to any final tract map or other applicable development entitlement for this project.
It is also noted that the City of Fresno's staff has met with.Caltrans representatives to review citywide impacts on
State facilities; the CEQA process; and the legal requirements for determining the nexus (demonstration of the
direct relationship between the project and the potential impact) and the proportionality (fair share contribution
towards mitigating the impact)required by State law. While the Caltrans representatives have previously assured
the City that Caltrans legal staff would provide evidence of compliance with State statutes, no response has been
received to date by the City of Fresno.
However, in response to.these discussions, a partnership in planning grant was obtained through which the City
of Fresno and Caltrans will participate with other jurisdictions,to complete a freeway deficiency study. This study
will detail the traffic impacts anticipated to occur to freeway facilities within the greater Fresno-Madera-Clovis
Metropolitan Area. This study will focus upon facilities identified to be most impacted by the projected increases
in.traffic; identification of the sources of the vehicle traffic within the greater metropolitan area; and the
improvements necessary to provide adequate vehicular capacity. Findings from this study may allow proportionate
traffic impact fees to be legally implemented by the cities of Fresno and Clovis as well as the County of Fresno
upon adoption by the respective jurisdictions.
Streets and Access Points
This subdivision is proposed to have one access point to North Armstrong Avenue and three access points to East
Shields Avenue. The subdivision also proposes one future connection to the parcel on the south boundary of the
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Rezone Application No. R-03-45

Page 6
property. The Public Works Department, Transportation Planning Section has reviewed the rezone and tentative
tract map applications. They have also reviewed the traffic assessment, dated September 29, 2003, prepared by
TPG Consulting. 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 Temperance, Armstrong and Shields Avenues to their ultimate planned width.
Landscaping/Walls
Given that the proposed subdivision abuts planned arterial and collector streets and a planned expressway with
a multi-purpose trail, the developer will be required to install 10-26 feet of landscaping along North Temperance,
North Armstrong and East Shields Avenues. 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, as recommended by the acoustical analysis prepared by Brown-Buntin
and Associates, dated October 16, 2003.
Lot Dimensions
The R-1/UGM zone district requires minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet for lots in the subdivision. All of the
lots in the subdivision exceed the minimum lot size requirement. In addition, all lots meet or exceed the minimum
lot width (60 feet) and depth (100 feet) as required by the R-1 zone district.
The subdivision map, based on the required findings for approval and subject to the recommended conditions of
approval,and the standards and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and McLane Community Plan, complies
with applicable zoning, subdivision, and UGM requirements. Therefore, staff recommends approval.
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 McLane Community Plan designates
the site for Medium Low Density Residential land uses and subject to Section 12-403-B of the Fresno
Municipal Code, 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 insure 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.
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Rezone Application No. R-03-45
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.T-5233/UGM
December 17, 2003
Page 7
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.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. Development shall take place in accordance with Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5233/UGM dated
November 7, 2003, and the Conditions of Approval for T-5233/UGM dated December 17, 2003.
Action by the Planning Commission regarding the rezone application will be a recommendation to the.City Council.
Planning Commission action of the proposed tentative tract map, unless appealed to the Council, is final.
CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission take the following actions:
1. RECOMMEND APPROVAL to the City Council of a finding of Mitigated Negative Declaration for
Environmental Assessment No. R-03-45/T-5233 dated November 26, 2003.

Subject: R 03-45, T-5233.
(APN 310-040-03)
Dear Ms. Gerster:
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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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 building(s) from energy sapping
environmental conditions. A brochure has been included for the applicant.
See http://www.coolcommunities.or-q
http://www.energy.ca.gov/coolcommunity/strategies.htmi
http://wiww.l-c.erq/bookstore/energy/downloads/siv treeguidelines.pdf
http://www.urbantree.org
• 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, appropriate
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.
• 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 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 or
appropriated in anticipation of future growth.
Specifically: Mid-block paths should be installed to facilitate pedestrian and bike movement .
through the project and improve access to the nearby trail. Possible locations for pedestrian,
and bike paths include:
Between lots: 246 and 247
Between lots: 247 and 248
Between lots: 255 and 256
Between lots: 256 and 257
• As many energy conserving and well-designed 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
- "Cool Paving"
- Energy efficient lighting and high efficiency appliance
- Instantaneous water heaters
Ms. Gerster 1 November 18, 2003
R 03-45, T-52332 Page3
- Radiant heating system
- Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows
- Ceiling fans, whole house fans
- Orient the unit(s) to maximize passive solar cooling and heating when practicable
- Install electrical outlets around the exterior of the unit(s) to encourage use of electric landscape
maintenance equipment
- Install natural gas fireplaces (instead of traditional open-hearth fireplaces)
Install 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 (suchitems could
include electric lawn mowers, reel mowers, gas or electric barbecues, etc.)
- Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from the project site,
etc.
More information can be found at:
http://www.lgc.orq http://www.energy.ca.gov/coolcommunity/strategies.html
http://eetd.lb1.gov/coolroof/ http://www.consumerenerqvicenter.org/index.htmI
http://www.sustainable.doe.gov/
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.org/
http://rredc.nrel.gov/
hftp://www.energy.ca.gov/renewables/
• Construction activity mitigation measures include:
- Require construction equipment used at the site 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 while on the premises (when not in use) to reduce
emissions from idling.
District staff is available to meet with you and/or the applicant to further discuss the regulatory
requirements that are associated with this project. If you have any questions or require further
information, please call me at 230-5800.

Ms. Sara Gerster
City of Fresno Development Department
2600 Fresno Street
Fresno, CA 93721
Dear Ms. Gerster:
Caltrans has reviewed the vesting tentative map and rezone application proposing to
change the zoning of 80 acres from AE-20 to R-1/UGM and develop a 347-lot
subdivision. The subject parcel is located on the southeast corner of North Armstrong
and East Shields Avenues, approximately 2.0 miles north of the new State Route (SR)
180. interchange at Fowler Avenue and 4.5 miles east of the SR 168 interchange at
Ashlan Avenue. Caltrans has the following comments;
It is estimated that this development could generate approximately 347 trips during
peak PM travel times. It is further estimated that 40% of these trips (139 trips)
would impact the new SR 180/Fowler Avenue interchange and 5% (17 trips) would
impact the SR 168/Ashlan Avenue interchange. However, the project application
contains insufficient information to make a conclusive determination on the impacts
of this project to the transportation/circulation system. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS)
is needed to assess the project-related impacts on the State highway system and the
pro-rata share towards area-wide circulation improvements. Please 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.
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?
Caltrans is concerned about the contribution this project will have on cumulatively
significant traffic impacts. Caltrans was not provided an opportunity to review the
Village at Granite Park and the impacts from this project remain unknown. We also
do not know long term how significant the traffic impacts will be from the new Save
"Caltrans improves mobility across California”
Ms. Sara Gerster
November 10, 2003
Page 2
Mart Center. In addition, another subdivision consisting of 302 homes has been
proposed at Fowler and Shields. All four of these projects will impact State facilities.
Without additional information, Caltrans cannot make a determination on the
severity of these impacts. The new General Plan did not provide any analysis of
cumulative impacts, while numerous projects have since been approved without the
City requiring either individual project-specific or cumulative analyses. It is the
City's responsibility under CEQA, as lead agency, to mitigate for projects creating
impacts to resources, including cumulative impacts.
Caltrans requests a scoping meeting for this project. The following CEQA Section
supports our request:
21083,9: Lead Agency shall call scoping meeting, if Caltrans requests
one. (a)Notwithstanding Section 21080.4, 21104, or 21153, a lead agency
shall call at least one scoping meeting for either of the following: (1) .A
proposed project that may affect highways or other facilities under the
jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation if the meeting is
requested by the department. The lead agency shall call the scoping
meeting as soon as possible, but not later than 30 days after receiving the
request from the Department of Transportation.
Please let us know as soon as possible as to when the City of Fresno would like to
hold this scoping meeting.
The City should consider a transit alternative for this project. The project is of
sufficient size to support transit, and early planning could make such an alternative
feasible. 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 for employer-sponsored carpools/vanpools or monthly
transit passes for employees as well as including as a condition of project
approval a covered transit stop as mitigation for project-related impacts to the
transportation/circulation system.

Caltrans recommends that.this project be routed to Fresno Area Express (FAX) staff
for their review and comment. A transit alternative to reduce traffic impacts may be
an option. The City should also consider adding a member of FAX to the Task Force
team currently meeting Monday mornings in the Planning Department.
We request that this letter be made part of the permanent 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.
We also request answers to the following questions:
r
1. What actual timeframe does the new General Plan cover?
Caltrans has been asking the City for clarification on this issue due to
comments made by Mr. Nick Yovino at the General Plan Update hearing,
November 19, 2002, and subsequent comments made by various City staff
members. Mr. Yovino has stated that not all of the General Plan will be
implemented, hence the need to create the implementation plan and the need
to set priorities. Our question is what timeframe is involved in implementing
the entire General Plan as written, not just portions of it.
2. Is it anticipated that full build-out of the General Plan will occur within this
timeframe?
See explanation for Number 1 above.
3. What is the estimated timeframe to achieve the population estimate as
included in the General Plan?
Caltrans has been asking the City for clarification on the population estimate
as it is unclear whether or not the City can achieve the estimate without
implementing all of the General Plan policies. Does this impact the
timeframe needed to achieve the population estimate?
4. Will the Mid-Rise/High-Rise Corridor exist within the estimated timeframe to
reach the above population estimate?
Caltrans has been asking the City for clarification on this issue due to
comments made by Mr. Nick Yovino and various City staff members that the
Mid-Rise/High-Rise Corridor could take as long as one hundred years to
implement. As this component of the General Plan appears to be essential to
accommodate the predicted City population and to make transit a viable
"Caltrans improves mobility across California"
Ms. Sara Gerster '
November 10, 2003
Page 4
alternative, it is essential to reviewing agencies such as Caltrans to
understand the City's position on implementation.
5. Is the Mid-Rise/High-Rise Corridor necessary to accommodate the estimated
population?
In evaluating the General Plan, it appears that the Mid-Rise/High Rise
Corridor is essential to accommodate the predicted City population; however,
based on staff comments, Caltrans is uncertain of the City's intent.
Please respond in writing to our request at your earliest possible convenience.

Please send a response to our comments prior to staffs recommendations to the
Planning Commission and the City Council. If you have any questions, please call

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION: Rezone Application No. R-03-45 Filed with:
and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5233/UGM pertain to approximately 80 REBECCA E. KLISCH, City Clerk
acres of property located on the south side of East Shields Avenue, between 2nd Floor-City Hall
North Temperance and North Armstrong Avenues. The rezone application 2600 Fresno Street
proposes to rezone the property from the AE-20 (County) zone district to the Fresno, California 93721-3603
R-1/EA/UGM(Single Family Residential District/ExpresswayArea/Urban Growth
Management) zone district for the entire site. Vesting Tentative Tract No.
5233/UGM proposes to subdivide the subject property at a density of
approximately 4.3 units per acre totaling 347 single family residential lots. 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.
The proposed project has been evaluated with respect to each item on the attached environmental checklist. This
completed checklist reflects comments of any applicable responsible agencies and research and analysis conducted
to examine the interrelationship between the proposed project and the physical environment. The information
contained in the Environmental Assessment Application,the checklist,and any attachments to the checklist,combine
to form a record indicating that an initial study has been completed in compliance with the State CEQA Guidelines and
the California Environmental Quality Act.
Any rating of "2" on the checklist indicates that a specific adverse environmental effect has been identified in a
category which is of sufficient magnitude to be of.concem. Such an effect may be inherent in the nature and
magnitude of the project or may be related to the design and characteristics of the individual project. Effects rated in
this manner are not sufficient in themselves to require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and/or have
been mitigated to the extent feasible.
All new development activity and many non-physical projects contribute directly or indirectly toward a cumulative
impact on the physical environment. The incremental effect contributed by this project toward such a cumulative effect
is not considered substantial in itself.
The.proposed project is not expected to result in any significant adverse effects in terms of the factors considered on
the environmental checklist, including any such factors for which minor effects have been identified. Cumulative
effects of a significant nature are also not expected. The proposed project will not result in any adverse effects which
fall within the "Mandatory Findings of Significance"contained in Section 15065 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The
finding is therefore made that the proposed project will clearly not have a significant adverse effect on the environment.
This Mitigated Negative Declaration will be deemed final and effective if no appeal is filed in the manner specified by
Section 12-505 of the Fresno Municipal Code.

Staff has reviewed the above-referenced project proposal and consulted with affected agencies and
interest groups. Approval of the project may contribute to the creation of certain moderate environmental
effects or the project may be adversely impacted by existing conditions as addressed below.
The project area is located within the easternmost portion of the City of Fresno's adopted Sphere of
Influence and Urban Boundary area,which is planned for medium density residential uses by the McLane
Community Plan, updated in 2002, and the 2025 Fresno General Plan, adopted in 2002.
Environmental documents for previous plan actions include Final EIR No. 10130 (2025 Fresno General
Plan). Additional environmental documents have been certified for major public facilities to accommodate
population growth and urban development including Final EIR No. 10118 (Fresno/Clovis Regional

Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility Capacity Expansion)and Final EIR No. SCH 95022029
(Fresno Metropolitan Water Resource Management Plan). These environmental impact analyses and-
conclusions,together with supporting technical studies, address the impacts of population growth and the
necessary public facility capacity expansion associated with the urban development that will accommodate
this growth within the City of Fresno's 2025 General Plan Urban Area Boundary and Sphere of Influence.
Certification or approval of these.environmental documents identified potentially significant adverse
environmental impacts, appropriate mitigation measures, and findings of overriding considerations with
respect to unavoidable significant impacts. The following impacts were identified by City Council
Resolution No. 2002-378 certifying Final EIR No. 10130 (2025 Fresno General Plan).
1. Transportation and Circulation
2. Air Quality
3. Preservation of Agricultural Land
4. Noise
.Resolution No.2002-378 also contains a statement of overriding considerations for the above unavoidable
significant effects. The benefits of implementing the 2025 Fresno General Plan outweigh unavoidable
significant effects.
1.0—TOPOGRAPHIC, SOIL, GEOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS
There are no geologic hazards or unstable soil conditions known to exist on the project site. The existing
.topography is. relatively flat with no apparent unique or significant land forms such as vernal pools.
Development of the property requires compliance with grading and drainage standards of the. City of
Fresno and Fresno.Metropolitan Flood Control District Standards. Grade differentials at property lines
must be limited to one foot or less, or a cross-drainage covenant must be executed with affected adjoining
property owners.
2.0—AIR QUALITY: 2.1-Substantial Indirect Source of Pollution
As a result of the San Joaquin Valley's climate and topography, the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin(SJVAB)
is predisposed to poor air quality. High mountain ranges surrounding the Valley frequently create air layer
inversions that prevent mixing of air masses. The large number of sunny days per year and high
temperatures in the summer favor the formation of ozone. In the winter, inversions form that often trap
particulate matter.
With respect to the Fresno area, the SJVAB has been classified as follows:
• Ozone. Recently reclassified from"serious nonattainment"to"severe nonattainment"by the U.S. E.P.A.
Classified as "severe nonattainment by the State.
• PM,,. Classified as"serious nonattainment"at the federal level. Classified as"nonattainment" by the
State.

• CO. Recently reclassified from "nonattainment" to "attainment" by th U.S. E.P.A.
• NO2. Unclassified/Attainment at the federal level. Classified "attainment" at the State level.
• SO2. Unclassified at the federal level. Classified "attainment" at the State level.

Lead. (No federal standard.) Classified "attainment" at the State level.
• H2S. (No federal standard.) Unclassified by the State.
• Visibility. (No federal standard.) Unclassified by the State.
In response to the SJVAB's nonattainment status for Ozone and PM,,the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution
Control District (SJVAPCD) has adopted air quality attainment plans as required by State and federal
regulations. Table VC-1 of MEIR No. 10130 lists the air quality attainment plans that have been adopted
by the SJVAPCD.
The SJVAB reclassification from "serious nonattainment" to "severe nonattainment" at the federal level
requires the SJVAPCD to prepare a new attainment plan, due to the U.S. E.P.A. in mid-year of 2003, that
demonstrates attainment by 2006. The new attainment plan will include more stringent permitting
requirements and a greater level of control on stationary source emissions within the.District. Failure to
implement control measures may result in a loss of federal funding for highways and may require sanctions
on stationary sources.
As a result of the SJVAB's classification of "severe nonattainment" for ozone by the State, the valley is
subject to the most stringent requirements in the California Clean Air Act. These include providing for a
5%.per year reduction in nonattainment emissions,or including"every feasible measure"in the Air Quality
Attainment Plan; establishing a permitting'program that achieves a no-net-increase in stationary source
emissions; developing strategies to reduce vehicle trips and miles traveled; increasing average vehicle
ridership to 1.5 persons during commute hours; reducing population exposure to non-attainment pollutants
by 25%; establishing best available retrofit control technology requirements for permitted sources, and
developing indirect and area source programs.
As stated in the current Air Quality Attainment Plan, it is SJVAPCD's strategy to implement multiple tactics
or control measures. These measures are,in turn, implemented through the extensive collection of District
rules, regulations and permitting requirements established by the SJVAPCD.
The Air District has suggested that the URBEMIS 2001 computer model be used to project future air
pollutant emissions that can be expected to be generated from vehicular traffic generated from the urban
uses developed on the project site. The computer model evaluated the following emissions: ROG
(Reactive Organic Gasses), NOX(Nitrogen Oxides), CO(Carbon Monoxide), PM,,(Particulates)and SOX
(Sulfur Oxides) which are summarized below.

The URBEMIS 2001 model projections indicate that the proposed project will not exceed the threshold
limits for the emissions listed. This particular analysis included the prohibition of wood burning devices.
It also included the mitigation measures which are listed below.
A pedestrian/bicycle/equestrian trail is required along North Temperance Avenue as a mitigation measure
to provide a means of alternative transportation. Other mitigation measures in addition to the trail are
required sidewalks and pedestrian paths, pedestrian connections, lighting and other safety features for
pedestrians and cyclists, street lighting and appropriate signage and signalization that will promote
pedestrian and other modes of transportation. To provide continuous travel, bike lanes are also required
on East Shields and North Armstrong Avenues.
The SJVAPCD has developed the San Joaquin Valley 1991 California Clean Air Act Air Quality Attainment
Plan (AQAP), which continues to project nonattainmenf for the above-noted pollutants in the future. This
project will be subject to applicable Air District rules, regulations, and strategies. In addition, the
construction phase of the project will be subject to the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control
District(SJVAPCD)Regulation VIII, Fugitive Dust Rules, related to the control of dust and fine particulate
matter. This.rule mandates the implementation of dust control measures to reduce the potential for dust
to the lowest possible level. The plan includes a number of strategies to improve air quality including a
transportation control strategy and a vehicle inspection program. In addition, the District encourages
innovations in measures to reduce air quality impacts such as energy efficient building materials and
household appliances as well as site design features including landscaping, pedestrian and transit access
features.
The 2025 Fresno General Plan and the McLane Community Plan major street design standards and
bikeway plans provide for thorough distribution of alternative transportation improvements..These facilities
assure convenient accessibility to neighborhood uses including schools, parks, and commercial centers
using alternative nonvehicular means of transportation. Neighborhood parks are acquired and developed
with urban growth management fees,frequently located in conjunction with an elementary school site that
facilitate related academic, athletic, recreational,.and other community activities that promote combined
trip-making and encourage the use of nonvehicular modes of transportation.
In addition, the City of Fresno continues to plan and implement the expansion of its fixed-route bus public
transportation system in order to serve developing urban areas. Adopted standards and conditions of
development require the provision of adequate bus stop facilities at appropriate major street locations to
facilitate future public transportation services.

3.0—WATER; 3.1—Insufficient Groundwater Available for Long-Term Proiect Use
The adverse groundwater conditions of limited supply .and compromised quality have been well-
documented by planning, environmental impact report, and technical studies over the past 20 years
including the Master Environmental Impact Report No. 10130 for the 2025 Fresno General Plan, Final EIR
No.10100, Final EIR No.10117, Final EIR No. SCH 95022029 (Fresno Metropolitan Water Resource
Management Plan)et al. These conditions include water quality degradation due to DBCP, arsenic, iron,
and manganese concentrations; low water well yields; limited aquifer storage capacity and recharge
capacity; and, intensive urban or semi-urban development occurring upgradient from the Fresno
Metropolitan Area. The proposed project places additional demand upon peak water use capacity which
is'one of the limitations of the groundwater supply aquifer underlying the eastern portion of the McLane
Community Plan area. The proposed project must contribute to short-term and long-range water supply
and distribution remediation projects in order to adequately address this deficiency.
In response to the need for a comprehensive long-range water supply and distribution strategy the Fresno
Metropolitan Water Resource Management Plan has been adopted and the accompanying Final EIR(SCH
#95022029)certified. The purpose of the management plan is to provide safe,adequate,and dependable
water supplies.to meet the future needs of the metropolitan area in an economical manner; protect.
groundwater quality; from- further degradation and overdraft; and., provide a plan .of reasonably
implementable measures and facilities. In addition,the proposed project must contribute to the completion
of the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District's master planned storm drainage facilities. Stormwater
ponding basins provide significant opportunity to recharge groundwater with collected storm water run-off
and'suri`ace water obtained from the Fresno Irrigation-District and United States Bureau of Reclamation
on the northern edge of the current urban limit boundary benefitting the.urban reserve area.
The Water Division of the Public Utilities Department estimated that the proposed single-family residential
subdivision will have an estimated peak water demand of 736 gallons per minute. In accordance with the
provisions of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and Master EIR No. 10130 mitigation measures, project
specific water supply and distribution requirements must assure that an adequate source of water is
available to serve the project with the implementation of the mitigation measures noted below and are
required to be implemented by the attached mitigation monitoring checklist. In summary, these mitigation
measures require participation in the development of a water supply and distribution system equal to the
project's estimated water consumption.
Implementation of the Fresno General Plan policies, the Water Resources Management Plan, and the
applicable mitigation measures of approved environmental review documents will.address the issues of
providing an adequate, reliable, and sustainable water supply for the'project's urban domestic and public
safety consumptive purposes.

4.0—PLANT LIFE; and 5.0—ANIMAL LIFE
There are no native plants or significant wildlife populations known to exist on the project site. The
extensive landscaping proposed on the site will provide habitat for certain species of birds and small
animals suited for an urban environment.
4.2—Reduction in Acreage of Agricultural Crop
The subject site currently has crops on it and has been historically utilized for agricultural purposes. The
proposed urban development of the project area will result in the elimination of agricultural opportunities-
in.the future. However, the site is located within the City of Fresno's Sphere of Influence and has been
considered appropriate for urban development by a succession of long-range general plans for the.
metropolitan area over the past 39 years.
The 2025 Fresno General Plan and updated McLane Community Plan identified the project site as being
appropriate for urban uses, particularly for medium density residential uses. Urban development of the
site is now appropriate for consideration although development of the subject site will result in the loss of
existing agricultural uses. Previous environmental studies have examined the effects of the loss of
agricultural lands and concluded.that agricultural lands within the immediate urban area as a whole may
be considered to be less valuable for continued long-term agricultural use than alternative areas outside
of the metropolitan area. While urban development of the existing agricultural land within the City of
Fresno's planned urban boundaryis considered to be irreversible, it allows the implementation of more
effective water resource and air quality mitigation measures that reduce impacts upon agricultural
activities. This consideration is particularly important when contiguous urban development is compared
with the alternative of the inefficient and discontinuous patterns of rural and low-density residential
development that have occurred within urban fringe areas.
In addition, the mitigation measures will include.the requirement that a "right-to-farm" notice shall be
recorded with the final tract map and included with the individual property conveyance deed to notify new
residents that agricultural operations occur in the area.
6.0-HUMAN HEALTH
Aside from temporary dust generation during construction, the project is not expected to have any other
impacts on human health.
7.0—NOISE
Theprojectsite will be exposed to vehicle traffic noise due to its location adjacent to a planned arterial
major street(East Shields.Avenue)along the north boundary of the tract and a planned expressway(North
Temperance Avenue) along the east boundary of the tract. Arterial streets are typically developed with
four to six travel lanes (two or three in each direction) and a center median island with single or dual left
(_
INITIAL STUDY
Environmental Assessment No. R-03-45/T-5233

November 26, 2003
turn lanes at intersections. Arterial streets have the capacity to accommodate average daily vehicle trips
of 36,000 and collector streets (Armstrong Avenue) can accommodate average vehicle daily trips of.
24,000, although projected daily traffic volumes are substantially less than these maximum capacities.
Expressways are typically developed with six lanes of travel (three in each direction), a median island,
single or dual left turn lanes at intersections, and access is limited to intersections with major streets,
approximately one every half-mile. They are designed to accommodate average vehicle daily trips of
56,000.
The City of Fresno Noise Element of the General Plan identifies the maximum appropriate noise level
exposure for outdoor activity areas to be 60 dB DNL, and for interior living areas a noise level exposure
of not more than 45 dB DNL. Portions of the site are within a 65 or 70 decibel contour according to the
Master Environmental Impact Report for the 2025 Fresno General Plan. This condition requires that an
acoustical analysis for the project be submitted, evaluated, and accepted by the Planning and
Development Department., The acoustical analysis performed by Brown-Buntin and Associates for the
project found the noise levels to be substantial in a report dated October 16, 2003.
The acoustical analysis used the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Traffic Noise
Prediction Model in addition to field. measurements at the project site. The outdoor noise level, without a
sound attenuation wall, is 70.5 dB Ldn for buildings located at the closest proposed building setbacks along
Temperance Avenue and 66.0 dB Ldn for buildings located at the closest proposed building setbacks along
Shields Avenue. The study concludes that an 11-foot high wall is required along Temperance and a 6-foot
high wall is required along Shields to fully reduce the noise to acceptable levels. The solid wall barrier
would reduce the exterior noise level to 59.6 dB.at the first floor height. Indoor noise standards will be met
with the construction of the sound walls and through building code requirements.

9.0—LAND USE
The proposed rezone is consistent with the planned land use of both the 2025 Fresno General Plan and
the McLane Community Plan. Both plans designate the site for medium low density residential land uses.
Table 2 of the 2025 Fresno General Plan states that the R-1 zone district is consistent with the medium
low density residential land uses. It is also important to note that the planned use and proposed zone
district are compatible with the applicable community plan.goals, policies and implementation measures
intended to provide for the efficient use of natural resources and public facilities; the construction of
adequate public improvements by the development which generates the demand for these facilities; and,
the implementation of a functional land use pattern consistent with the population and economic growth
projections of the Fresno General Plan's growth projections.

10.0—TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION; 10.1810.2 Generation of Vehicular Traffic Sufficient
to Cause Capacity Deficiencies and Cumulative Increase in Traffic on a Maior Street for which
Capacity Deficiencies are Proiected
The development of the project site with the proposed 347 single-family residences, and the surrounding
planned urban uses designated by the 2025 Fresno General Plan and McLane Community Plan, will be
required to complete the planned major street network in accordance with applicable development policies
and standards including the Urban Growth Management program. Both plans designate North
Temperance as an expressway, East Shields Avenue as an arterial street, and North Armstrong as a
collector street. The city's public works development standards provide for expressways to be developed
with three lanes of travel in each direction separated by a median island. Expressways also have very
limited access. .Arterial streets are required to be development with two travel lanes in each direction
separated by a median island to control left-tum and crossing vehicular movements. The general plan
designates North Armstrong Avenue as a collector street, which would typically be developed with two
travel lanes in each direction but without a median island. All street standards provide for a widened
pavement width at major street intersections to allow for exclusive left-tum and right-turn lanes as well as
bus bays or turnouts.
The Master Environmental Impact Report(MEIR) No. 10130 prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan
(incorporated herein by reference)utilized macro-level traffic analysis techniques to examine the traffic flow
level of service (LOS)for major street segments that would occur in the year 2025. This analysis utilized
the unadjusted COG traffic model projected traffic volumes and the Florida Tables,which are an accepted
national tabular standard of the Highway Capacity Manual(HCM)methodology. LOS is a characterization
of a.street's traffic flow operations that range from an LOS of A (reflecting a very low traffic volume with
no travel delay)to an LOS of F(reflecting a very high traffic volume with substantial congestion and travel
delay).
The most substantial traffic capacity deficiencies are. predicted to occur within the eastern portion of the
Fresno Metropolitan Area along Clovis Avenue and.on Shields Avenue immediately east of Clovis Avenue.
A substantial proportion of these street deficiencies are the result of land.use decisions, development
practices and public perceptions that have affected land use distribution throughout the region.. These
factors alsoinclude state planning mandates such as the need to accommodate projected population
growth consistent with State planning law including the housing element mandates(Califomia Government
Code Sections 65583 through 65895.5). These decisions include the practice of segregating residential,
commercial and industrial land uses so that industrial and other employment intensive uses were located.
in the southern portion of the metropolitan area, while predominantly residential uses were located in the
middle and northern sectors.
Large employment intensive uses attract trips from throughout the region and thus might facilitate the use
of public transportation or other alternatives to the use of the private vehicle. However, It is apparent that
a substantial portion of the predicted.vehicle trips impacting the.plan area's major street system would be
generated from land uses that are not equitably contributing to the cost of constructing adequate street
capacity or other transportation systems. Widely dispersed semi-urban or rural residential developments
occurring beyond the Fresno Metropolitan Area are poorly suited for alternative forms of public
transportation and typically would not contribute to the construction of additional major street capacity.
The traffic analysis prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the associated Master Environmental
Impact Report (MEIR) No. 10130 utilized the Fresno County Peak Hour Travel Model of the Council of
Fresno County Council of Governments (COG) to project average daily vehicle trip (ADT) volumes on
major streets. With development of the project site and surrounding planned urban uses designated by
INITIAL STUDY
Environmental Assessment No. R-03-45/T-5233
Page 9
November 26, 2003
the general plan through the year 2025, projected ADT volumes of 33,000± on Shields Avenue, 10,000±
on Armstrong Avenue and 44,000± on Temperance Avenue can be anticipated. .With anticipated-
improvements completed by the development of planned land uses as required by city standards and
policies, these streets are expected to ultimately function with a level of service (LOS) of D and E on
Shields Avenue, LOS C on Armstrong Avenue, and LOS C on Temperance. While an LOS of D is
endorsed by general plan policy as the preferable standard, it acknowledged that certain identified
segments and corresponding major street intersections will function at a less desirable level of service (E
or F) during the peak travel periods of the day. This condition occurs along Clovis Avenue, which is
presently congested and is expected to continue to function with an LOS of E and F through the year 2025.
As required by the mitigation measures established by the certification of MEIR 10130, a traffic
assessment was prepared by TPG Consulting to evaluate the number of vehicle trips projected to be
generated by the proposed project. Utilizing the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation
Manual, Sixth Edition, and,associated computer software together with the Council of Fresno County
Governments'(COG)computerized traffic model, this analysis predicts the number of vehicle trips that will
be generated from the proposed project and surrounding planned land uses, and the direction in which
these trips will travel.
Development of 347 single family residential dwelling units can be expected to generate an average of
approximately 3,321 vehicle trips per day (VTD). Of these vehicle trips it is projected that 260 will occur
during the morning (7 to 9 a.m.) peak hour travel period and 351 will occur during the evening (4 to 6 p.m.)
period hour travel period. A modest proportion of these projected trips are expected to access the planned
180 Freeway and Fowler Avenue interchange during moming peak period(19 trips)and the evening peak
period(28 trips)and the 168 Freeway and Ashlan Avenue interchange during morning peak period(5 trips)
and the evening peak period (5 Trips). The eastern extension of Freeway 180 from Chestnut Avenue to.
the expressway transition at Temperance Avenue is expected to occur as provided by the Measure C
Transportation Sales Tax Expenditure.Plan by the year 2006. This extension includes the Fowler Avenue
interchange which is expected to be designed with adequate capacity to.accommodate a twenty-year.
population and employment growth period.
The project traffic study further indicates that the majority of the peak hour vehicle trips are expected to
utilize Armstrong Avenue.to.the north and south of the project site, and Shields Avenue to the west.
Because much of the immediately surrounding area(eastern most portion of the McLane Community Plan
Area) is 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 majorstreet 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)which was
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.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations
has asserted that new development within the McLane Community Plan contributes a substantial number
of additional vehicle trips during the peak hour traffic periods(7:00 am to 9-.00 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm)
which will impact the State Route (SR) 180 interchange at Fowler Avenue and the State Route (SR) 168
interchange at Ashlan Avenue. Caltrans estimates that a development of this size could generate
approximately 347 vehicle trips during peak travel times. It is, therefore, recommended by Caltrans that
this project contribute its proportional share for improvements to the affected interchanges.
t

Although the proposed project will marginally contribute to the peak capacity deficiencies of the freeway
system, major freeway improvements are the responsibility of Caltrans and any fee related assessments
imposed by Caltrans must comply with applicable legal parameters. The City has not recommended that
this state facility traffic impact fee be imposed as a condition of project approval, as it is not evident that
Caltrans has accurately documented a project description and cost, a reliable estimate of funding sources,
a justifiable nexus or connection between the project and the need for the state facility improvements,and
the reasonable proportionality of the project's share of the improvement costs that are necessary to justify
the imposition of a traffic impact fee for the improvement of State facilities. This conclusion is based upon
Caltrans's submission of varying descriptions of the necessary freeway improvements, the imprecise
estimate of costs and probable funding sources, and the lack of adequate information to comply with Fee
Mitigation Act requirements (California Government Code §§ 66000 et sequentes) applicable to the City
of Fresno. In the absence of this documentation it is not legally permissible for the City to impose the
requested traffic impact fee.
r;
State highway facilities appear to have failed to meet 20-year capacity design criteria during a period of
time when the area's pace of population growth decreased to a rate well below previous state projections.
This highway facility "under-design" and consequently the capacity deficiencies, which may now be
prematurely occurring, are at least partially the result of resource allocation decisions made by the State
of California rather than land use decisions made by the City of Fresno.
An appropriate, reasonable and legally permissible method of addressing capacity deficiencies has been
presented to Caltrans for consideration. This method utilizes the master storm water drainage facility
planning and fee program established by the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control Agency as a model. Using
this model, Caltrans is responsible for providing a master facilities plan, development fee schedule and
assurances of compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements (Mitigation Fee Act-AB 1600)
which apply to the City of Fresno. Should Caltrans develop a master facilities plan and development
impact fee programconsistent with this model, it will be applied to any final tract map or other applicable
development entitlement for this project.
It is also noted that the City of Fresno's staff has met with Caitrans.representatives to review citywide
impacts on State facilities; the CEQA process; and the legal requirements for determining the nexus
(demonstration of the direct relationship between the project and the potential impact) and the
proportionality (fair share contribution towards mitigating the impact) required by State law.. While the
Caltrans representatives have previously assured the City that Caltrans legal.staff would provide evidence
of compliance with State statutes, no response has been received to date by the City of Fresno.
However, in response to these discussions, a partnership in planning grant was obtained through which
the City of Fresno and Caltrans will participate with other jurisdictions to complete a freeway deficiency
study. This study will detail the traffic impacts anticipated to occur to freewayfacilities within the greater
Fresno-Madera-Clovis Metropolitan Area. This study will focus upon facilities identified to be most
impacted by the projected increases in traffic; identification of the sources of the vehicle traffic within the
greater metropolitan area; and the improvements necessary to provide adequate vehicular capacity.
Findings from this study may allow proportionate traffic impact fees to be legally implemented by the cities
of Fresno and Clovis as well as the County of Fresno upon adoption by the respective jurisdictions.
In'order to.alleviate the impact of this project upon the City of Fresno's street system and to provide for
a smooth flow of traffic to and from the project, the property owner/developer will be required to dedicate
a portion of the subject sites for street purposes in accordance with adopted plans and policies such as
the Major Street and Highway Plan, the Circulation Element of the General Plan, an Official Plan Line, a
Director's Determination, or a local street public improvement standard as determined by the Director.

Each development must also construct a portion of the planned major street system, including off-site
extensions as required by Urban Growth Management Policies. In addition,the residents of the proposed
project will contribute to the construction of state highway facilities and regionally significant streets through
the Measure "C" local transportation sales tax program.
The project street improvement requirements include the center two travel lanes of Shields and Armstrong
Avenues adjacent to the project site as well as the construction of three travel lanes for Temperance
Avenue and the improvement of the Fowler and Shields Avenue intersection with traffic control
signalization.
These and other street plans are the product of careful planning that projects traffic capacity needs based
on the densities and intensities of planned land uses anticipated at build-out of the planned area. These
streets will provide adequate access to and recognize the traffic generating characteristics of individual
properties and, at the same time, afford the community an adequate and efficient circulation system.
Mitigation Measures
1. The proposed project shall implement and incorporate, as applicable, the traffic and circulation
related mitigation measures as noted in the attached Project Specific Monitoring Checklist dated
November 26, 2003.
2. The proposed project shall implement and incorporate, as applicable, the traffic and circulation
related mitigation measures as identified in the attached Master Environmental Impact Report No.
10130-2025 Fresno General Plan Mitigation Monitoring Checklist dated November 26, 2003.
11.0—URBAN SERVICES
11.1—Availability of Fire Protection
The project site is located within the city's Urban Growth Management Area and must comply with the
applicable service delivery requirements necessary to provide not less than the minimum acceptable level
of fire protection facilities and services appropriate for urban uses—The proposed project is located within
two miles of.City of Fresno Fire Station No. 10 and City of Clovis Fire Station No. 34.
11.4-Overcrowding of School Facilities
The project site is served by the Clovis Unified School District and is presently within the attendance
boundaries of Temperance-Kutner Elementary School (Armstrong and 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 Ashlan, Gettysburg, Locan
and DeWolf Avenues.
Because of the sustained growth occurring within the district boundaries, the school district has advised
of the following conditions.
1. 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.
INITIAL STUDY
Environmental Assessment No. R-03-45/T-5233
Page 12
November 26, 2003
2. Bus transportation is presently provided for grades K-6 students residing further than one mile
from school and for grades 7-12 students residing further than two and one-half miles from school. .
3. The district has adopted development fees in accordance'with current state law and currently
levies a development fee of$2.53 per square foot for residential development. Development of
the project site will be subject to the fees in place at the time fee certificates are obtained.
In addition, the district has requested that the owner/subdivider provide the above information to all
prospective purchasers of property within the proposed project.
11.6—Availability of Sewer tines of Adequate Capacity
Several major facility improvement projects have been implemented at the City of Fresno's Regional
Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility in order to accommodate the 1984 Fresno General Plan's
projected population holding capacity of 588,000 people. These improvements have been completed to
provide an expanded wastewater treatment and reclamation capacity of 80 million gallons per day(MGD)
which is sufficient to accommodate continued planned urban development including the proposed project.
While the proposed project may presently be accommodated by the FowlerAvenue 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 said Fowler trunk capacity exchange have not yet been adopted by the
City. Council. Mitigation measures and tract map conditions of approval 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.
The Public Utilities Department has determined that the estimated average daily sewage flow generated
by this project is 119,715 gallons per day. It has also been determined by Public Utilities Department staff
that adequate sanitary sewer service is available to serve the project, subject to the mitigation measures
imposed with the environmental assessment. The nearest public sanitary sewer main to serve this project
is located in East Shields and North Fowler Avenues.
Mitigation Measures
1. The proposed project shall implement and incorporate,as applicable,the sewer related mitigation
measures as noted in the attached Project Specific Monitoring Checklist dated November 26,
2003.
2. The proposed project shall implement and incorporate,as applicable,the sewer related mitigation
measures as identified in the attached Master Environmental Impact Report No. 10130-2025

11.7—Availability of Storm Water Drainage Facilities On or Off Site
In order to avoid or reduce the discharge of pollutants into the storm water sewer system, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency requires that a Notice of Intent for a general National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit be filed for a variety of industrial uses and for any construction site of five or
more acres of land. The property owner of this development site has been informed of that requirement
and of his, and any business owner's, responsibility to ensure that the Notice of Intent is filed in accordance
with the regulations published in Volume 55, No. 222, of the Federal Register.
14.0—HISTORICAL/ARCHAEOLOGICAL
There are no adjacent historical or archaeological sites. To ensure that any possible sites will be.
protected, the following conditions have been added to this special permit approval:
1 r .
1. If archaeological and/or animal fossil material is encountered during project surveying, grading,
excavating, or construction, work shall stop immediately.
2. If there are suspected human remains, the Fresno County Coroner shall be immediately
contacted. If the remains or other archaeological material is possibly Native American in origin,
the Native American Heritage Commission shall be immediately contacted, and the California
Archaeological Inventory/Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center shall be contacted to
obtain a referral list of recognized archaeologists. An archaeological assessment shall be
conducted for the project, the site shall be formally recorded, and recommendations made to the
City as to any further site investigation or site avoidance/preservation.
3. If animal fossils are uncovered, the Museum of Paleontology at U.C..Berkeley shall be contacted
to obtain a referral list of recognized paleontologists. An assessment shall be conducted by a
paleontologist and, if the paleontologist determines the material to be significant, it shall be
preserved:
DETERMINATION
Based upon these previous actions and the applicability of adopted development,standards, plan policies/
implementation measures, and applicable mitigation measures of the above-referenced environmental
documents, it is concluded that the proposed land uses will not result in a significant indirect adverse
environmental effect.
On the basis of this initial evaluation, it is determined that the proposed project is consistent with all
applicable city plans and policies and conforms to all applicable zoning standards and requirements.
Pursuant to Section 15070 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines; it is further
determined that there is no substantial evidence in the record that the proposed project may have a
significant effect on the environment. This is based upon the mitigation measures required as
conditions of proieet approval which are referenced by this environmental assessment and are
conditions upon which a mitigated negative declaration can be recommended. A MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
