R-04-87, AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 5376/UGM AND ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. R-04-87/T-5376 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Rezone Application No. R-04-87 proposes to rezone the subject property from the AE-20 (County - Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural) to the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district for 6.70 acres of property located on the east side of South Clovis Avenue between East Grove and East Byrd Avenues. The applicant, Spencer Enterprises, has also filed Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM proposing to subdivide the subject property into a 31-lot single family residential subdivision at an overall density of 4.6 units per acre. The applications will bring the zoning and uses for the property into conformance with the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the Roosevelt Community Plan. PROJECT INFORMATION PROJECT A 31-lot single-family residential subdivision on approximately 6.7 acres (net) of property to be developed at an overall density of 4.6 units per acre APPLICANT Spencer Enterprises (Engineer: Lars Andersen & Associates) LOCATION East side of South Clovis Avenue, between East Grove and East Byrd Avenues (Council District 5, Councilmember Dages) SITE SIZE 6.70 acres LAND USE Existing - Agriculture Proposed - Single Family Residential ZONING Existing - AE-20 (County- Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural) Proposed R-1/UGM (Single Family ResidentiallUrban Growth Management PLAN DESIGNATION Proposed R-1/UGM zone district and 31-lot single family residential AND CONSISTENCY subdivision is consistent with the 2025 Fresno General Plan and Roosevelt Community Plan designation of the site for medium-low density (4.19 to 4.98 units per acre) residential land uses ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING Finding of Conformity under MEIR No. 10130 dated October 28, 2004 PLAN COMMITTEE The Roosevelt Community Plan Advisory Committee recommended RECOMMENDATION approval with conditions on September 13, 2004 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recommend approval of rezone application and approve Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM subject to compliance with the Conditions of Approval dated March 23, 2005 REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Rezone Application No. R-04-87 Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM March 23, 2005 Page 2 BORDERING PROPERTY INFORMATION Planned Land Use Existing Zoning Existing Land Use North Medium-Low Density R-1-C/UGM Single Family Residential Residential Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management South Medium-Low Density R-1-B (County) Single Family Residential Residential Single Family Residential East Medium-Low Density AE-20(County) Agricultural/Vacant Residential Exclusive Twenty Acre Agriculture— County R-1-B(County) Single Family Residential Single Family Residential West Medium-Low Density AE-20(County) Agricultural/Vacant Residential Exclusive Twenty Acre Agriculture— County ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING The initial. study prepared for Environmental Assessment No. R-04-87/T-5376 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, and is within the scope of Master Environmental Impact Report No. 10130. Therefore, staff has issued a finding of conformity under MEIR No. 10130. The finding of conformity was issued on October 28, 2004. This environmental finding was properly noticed with no comments filed within the 20-day review and comment period. BACKGROUND/ ANALYSIS The applicant, Sun Ridge Developers, has filed Rezone Application No. R-04-87 and Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM for 39 acres of property located on the west side of South Clovis Avenue between East Jensen and East Church Avenues. The rezone application is requesting a zone change from the AE-20 (County - Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural) zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Managemeno zone district. Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM is proposing to subdivide the subject property into 31 single family residential lots to be developed at a density of 4.6 units per acre. On November 19, 2002, the City Council, through Resolution No. 2002-379, adopted the 2025 Fresno General Plan,which updated the Roosevelt Community Plan. The updated Community Plan designates the subject property for medium and medium-low density residential land uses. The applicant wishes to pursue development of the subject property with 31 single family homes. The requested R-1/UGM zone district conforms to the medium-low density residential land use designations as indicated by the 2025 Fresno General Plan's "Planned Land Use and Zone District Consistency Matrix." REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Rezone Application No. R-04-87 Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM March 23, 2005 Page 3 Surrounding land uses are characterized by agricultural and rural residences to the west and east and single family residential development to the north and south. Access to the subject site will be from South Clovis Avenue, which is a major (arterial) street. 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 environment impact 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 South Clovis Avenues. Water Resources and Public Water Supply The nearest presently available water service lines are located in South Clovis Avenue, adjacent to the site. 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 UGM service delivery requirements and environmental impact mitigation measures. The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that this project cannot be entirely accommodated by the district and temporary facilities will be required. 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. 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. The Department of Public Utilities has determined that adequate sanitary sewer service is available to serve the project. The nearest public sanitary sewer main to serve this project is located in South Clovis Avenue, adjacent to the project. Major Street Improvements The 2025 Fresno General Plan designates South Clovis as an arterial street requiring all 10-foot right-of- way width. The developer will be required to dedicate 60 feet of property from the section line and construct improvements along the east side of Clovis Avenue within the limits of the subdivision and relinquish access rights from all adjacent lots. 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 South Clovis Avenue from all residential lots adjacent to this major street frontage. These street improvements are outlined in more detail in the Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM Conditions of Approval dated March 23, 2005. WR REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Rezone Application No. R-04-87 Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM March 23, 2005 Page 4 Streets and Access Points This subdivision is proposed to have two access points to South Clovis Avenue, two access points to the existing subdivision to the south, and two access points to the subdivision to the north. The subdivision also proposes one future connection to the parcel on the north boundary of the property. The Public Works Department Transportation Planning Section has reviewed the rezone and tentative tract map applications. 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 Clovis Avenue to the ultimate planned width. Landscaping/Walls "Because the proposed subdivision abuts a planned arterial street, the development will be required to install a 15-foot wide landscaped setback along South Clovis 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 streets. The wall along Clovis Avenue shall be designed in accordance with the acoustical analysis prepared by Brown-Buntin Associates, Inc., dated August 23, 2004, which addresses the noise impacts resulting from vehicle traffic on Clovis Avenue in this area. Open Space The developer will be required to provide at least five percent of the total project area for public or private common open space per Roosevelt Community Plan Policy No. 1-17.1. To meet this requirement, the applicant is proposing to provide a landscape and pedestrian easement (with irrigation system) along the side and rear property lines of lots that side-onto or back-onto East Byrd Avenue. It is recommended that this landscape easement be not less than 15 feet in width. This setback will be increased to a 20-foot wide landscaped easement (and irrigation system) along the front property lines of Lots 7 through 10, which front-onto East Byrd Avenue. Lot Dimensions The R-1/UGM zone district requires minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet. All of the lots in the subdivision substantially exceed the minimum lot size requirement ranging from 8,288 to 9,660 square feet in area. 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. Roosevelt Community Plan Advisory Committee The Roosevelt Community Plan Advisory Committee reviewed and recommended approval of Rezone Application No. R-04-87 and Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM on September 13, 2004, subject to the following conditions: - Reduce lots 7, 8, 9 and 10 to a total number of three lots. - Homes should be single-story along Byrd Avenue. - No roof-mounted air conditioning units should be permitted. - Suggest the developer meet with the neighbors prior to Planning Commission hearing. - Provide one of the following two options along Byrd Avenue for purposes of buffering the proposed Development and the existing larger lot single family homes on the south side of Byrd Avenue: Provide a median island with landscaping along Byrd Avenue (preferred option); or REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Rezone Application No. R-04-87 Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM March 23, 2005 Page 5 Provide an enhanced landscape strip along the north side of Byrd Avenue beyond the standard 10-foot residential pattern, possibly with a curvilinear sidewalk. State of California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations has submitted the attached comments dated September 9, 2004, indicating that the proposed project in and of itself is not expected to create significant impacts to the state highway system, but that the project, when combined with other residential and commercial projects recently approved, will be cumulatively significant. Caltrans also suggests that a transit alternative be considered for this project. Staff considered Caltrans letter in preparing their initial study and determined that this project does not create any impacts, including cumulative impacts.that were not identified in MSIR No. 10130. Per Caltrans request, the letter has been included for the permanent record. Staff Recommendation 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 Roosevelt 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 Roosevelt Community Plan designates the site for medium-low density residential land uses and subject to Section 12-403-13 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 ensure adequate access and drainage on and off the site. 3. The proposed subdivision design and improvement is not likely to cause substantial and considerable damage to the natural environment, including fish, wildlife or their habitat, because of the urbanized nature of the area in which the site is located. 4. The proposed subdivision design and improvements are not likely to cause serious public health and safety problems because the conditions of approval have shown and will ensure that the subdivision conforms with city health and safety standards. M ^ REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Rezone Application No. R-04-87 Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM March 23, 2005 Page 6 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 Tentative Tract Map No. 5376/UGM dated December 21, 2004, and the Conditions of Approval for T-5376/UGM dated March 23, 2005. Action by the Planning Commission regarding the rezone application will be a recommendation to the City Council Planning Commission action on the proposed tentative tract map, unless appealed to the Council, is final. CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION 1. RECOMMEND APPROVAL to the City Council of the environmental finding of Environmental Assessment No. R-04-87[T-5376, dated October 28, 2004, 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-04-87 to rezone the subject property from the AE-20 (County - Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural) to the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management)zone district. 3.

For more information call (559) 447-3300. 1 • The Fresno County Department of Community Health is concerned that abandoned water wells are not being properly destroyed, particularly with respect to new j development projects. As city boundaries expand, community services are provided to areas originally served only by individual domestic and .agricultural wells. Improper abandonment of such wells presents a significant risk of contaminating;the city's community water supply. For this reason, when development occurs, it is extremely important to ensure the safe and proper destruction of all abandoned water wells. Prior to destruction of any existing agricultural well(s), a sample of the upper most fluid in the well column should be sampled for lubricating oil. The presence of oil; staining around the well may indicate the use of lubricating oil to maintain the well pump. . Should lubricating oil be found in the well, the oil should be removed from the well prior to placement of fill material for destruction. The "oily water" removed from the well must be handled in accordance with federal, state and local government!, requirements. Transportation of these materials on public roadways may require special permits and licensure. j The Department of Community Health is available to provide consultation in cooperation with your city in order to encourage the proper destruction of wells and safeguard our water quality. City staff may contact Ed Yamamoto, Environmental Health Specialist, Water Surveillance Program, at (559) 445-3357 for more information. 1 I • Appropriate measures should be incorporated into the project to minimize potentially significant short-term localized noise impacts to noise sensitive receivers caused by the operation of construction equipment. -Construction specifications for the project f j Andrew Munn j T-5376/R-04-87 September 16, 2004 Page 3 of 3 should require that all construction equipment be maintained according to the manufacturers' specifications, and that noise generating construction equipment be equipped with mufflers.

Caltrans has the following comments: This project, in and of itself, is not expected to have a significant impact on State facilities. However, the City should be aware that continued land use changes have the potential to create cumulatively significant impacts to both transportation and air quality. This is particularly true for the southeast region of the City of Fresno, having had a significant number of residential developments approved in the last year. Few of these developments have prepared traffic studies to evaluate their impacts to the transportation/circulation system or to 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 for project-related impacts. The City should consider a transit alternative for this project. The project is small', but when combined with other development in the area, there is sufficient residential development to support transit. Early planning could make such an alternative feasible. Caltrans recommends that this project be routed to.Fresno Area Express (FAX) staff for their review and comment. Please see Attachment Number 1 for other recommended transportation alternatives. We request that this letter be madepart 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.

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. j I 3. Exploring the potential of commuter shuttles. The shuttle could be financed through an assessment district and provide a way for individuals to utilize is park-and-ride facility or commercial area parking lot and be shuttled to various commercial/office centers within the area. Commuters who need to go further could use City of Fresno transit if the City planned for convenient connections. This may help to reduce the Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) demand seeking to use the State Highway System. 4. Providing for continuity of non-motorized transportation. 5. Exploring the potential for employer-sponsored carpools/vanpools or monthl�'y transit passes for employees as well as including as a condition of project approval a co-vered transit' stop as �ritibatiQn Lorpr;ect-rel--te 1m.T, acts to +hP r transportation/circulation system. 6. Exploring the potential for linking the purchase of a monthly transit pass with new residential development as partial mitigation for congestion and air quality impacts, and to ensure the long term viability of public transportation. { i I I I i i a it f San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District September 21, 2004 Reference No. 612DEV2004 { rr �I Andrew Munn 1-rL. f(� �I`wL-D Planning & Dev.

Valley Air Basin (SJVAB) is classified non-attainment for ozone and fine particulate matter (PM1.0). 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: 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.valleyair.org/ruies/1 ruleslist.htm. , Regulation VIII (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions)- Regulation VIII (Rules 8011-8081) is a series',of rules designed to reduce PM 10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction, road construction, bulk materials storage, landfill operations, etc. IA compliance assistance bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant. Please be advised that on August 19, 2004 and September 16, 2004, the District's Governing Board approved amendments to Regulation VIII, Rules 8011-8061 and 8071-8081 respectively, that become effective on October 1, 2004. Of particular note are amendments to Rule 8021 (see section 6:3.1): the Dust Control Plan.threshold has changed from 40.0 acres to 10.0 or more acres for residential sites. If a residential site is 1.0 to less than 10.0 acres, an owner/operator must provide written notification to the District at least 48 hours prior to his/her intent to begin any earthmoving activities(see section 6.4.1). Rule 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. 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. I i i. Mr. Munn September 21, 2004. T-5376, R-04-87 Page 2 I Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings) limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings. This rules specifies architectural coatings storage, clean up and labeling requirements. Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operat,ions). 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. Rule 4901 (Wood Burning Fireplaces.and Wood Burning Heaters) and 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 Governing Board. Amendments to the rule may affect future construction plans for residential developments. Specifically: j §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 71 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.valleyair.org. For compliance assistance, please contact Mr. Wayne Clarke, Air Quality Compliance Manager, at 230-5968. 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 reductions of the overall level of emissions.. (Note: Some of the measures may 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: i • Trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the buildings from energy .consulming 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/ j For Tree Selection see http://www.ufei.org/ For Urban Forestry see http://www.coolcommunities.org http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu http://www.lgc.orcl/bookstore/energy/downloads/siv tree quidelines.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 shade structures. 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 to encourage walking and bicycling. Connections to nearby public uses and commercial areas should be made as direct as possible to promote walking for some trips. Pedestrian and 'bike- oriented design reduces motor vehicle usage and their effects on air quality. Sidewalks' and i i I Mr. Munn September 21, 2004 T-5376, R-04-87 Page 3 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. Pathways through the project should be built in anticipation of future growth. • 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.energV.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.

(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.orq - Electrical outlets around the exterior of the unit(s) 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 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 - 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.) i - 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.orci, http://www.sustainable.doe.gov/, http://www.consumerenergyicenter.org/index.htmi http://www.ciwmb.ca.-gov/Green Building I • 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.or_q/, http://rredc.nrel.gov/, http://www.ener_qy.ca.gov/renewables/ I I Mr. Munn September2.1, 2004 T-5376, R-04-87 Page 4 • Construction activity mitigation measures include: - Require construction equipment used at the site to be equipped with catalysts/particulate' traps to reduce particulate and NOx emissions. These catalysts/traps require the use of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (15 ppm). Currently, California Air Resources Board (ARB) has verified a limited number of these devices for installation in several diesel engine families to reduce particulate emissions. At the time bids are made, have the contractors show that the construction equipment used is equipped with particulate filters and/or catalysts or prove,why it is infeasible. Use alternative fuel construction equipment. I I Replace fossil-;fueled equipment with electrically driven equivalents (provided they are not run via portable generator set). j 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. i Require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use on the premises to reduce emissions from idling. f I 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 (559) 230-5835 or Mr. Hector R. Guerra, Senior Air Quality Planner, . (559) 230-5820 and provide the reference number at the top of this letter. 1 Sincerely, � « � Chrystal Meier CEQA Commenter Central Region Enclosures c: file i i I I i I i I I i i i I I i ,1 1 1 i 1 Access and Haul Roads. Dust control is required on all unpaved access and haul roads, and unpaved vehicle and equipment traffic areas at construction sites, per Rule 8021 — Construction, Demolition, Excavation, Extraction, and Other Earthmoving.Activities. Storage Piles and Bulk Materials. The handling, storage, and transportation requirements for bulk materials are found in Rule 8031 —Bulk Materials. These requirements include: applying water as materials are handled, stabilizing or covering stored materials, and ! installing wind barriers to limit VDE: Limiting vehicle speed, loading haul trucks with a freeboard six inches or greater, covering haul trucks, or applying water to the top of the load are options for reducing VDE from vehicle transportation of bulk materials. Demolition. Wetting of the exterior of a building to be demolished is required. Demolition debris and the area around the demolition must also be controlled to limit VDE. Cleaning up carryout and trackout must be completed according to Rule 8041. Demolition activities are also subject to the District's asbestos rule, Rule 4002 — National Emission Standards fo'r Hazardous Air Pollutants. Dust Control Plans. For large.construction projects, Rule 802.1 requires the owner or contractor to submit a Dust Control Plan to the District for approval at least 30 days prior to j commencing construction activities. This requirement applies to pro1ects that include 40 or more acres of disturbed surface area or will involve moving more than 2,500 cubic yards per day of material on at least three days during the project. Record keeping. All sites subject to the regulation that employ dust control measures must keep records for each day any dust controls are used. The District has developed record keeping forms for water application, street sweeping, and for"permanent" controls such as applying long term dust palliatives, vegetation, ground cover materials, paving, or other durable materials. Pursuant to Rule 8011; records must be kept for one year after the end of dust generating activities. i Exemptions. Activities in areas above 3,000 feet elevation are exempt from all Regulation VIII requirements. The following exemptions in Rule 8021 apply to construction activities: i • Blasting activities • Maintenance and remodeling of existing buildings if the.addition is less than 50% of the size of the existing building or 10,000 square feet. These activities, however, are subject to the District's asbestos rule, Rule 4002. • Additions to single family dwellings • Mowing, disking or other weed control on sites less than Y2.acre. Nuisance. Whether or not the construction activity is exempt from the Regulation VIII requirements, any activity that creates fugitive dust must not cause a nuisance, per Ruler 4102 - Nuisance. Therefore, it is important to monitor the dust generating activities and, if 'I necessary, plan for and implement the appropriate dust control measures to limit the public's exposure to fugitive dust. This is a basic.summary of Regulation Vlll as it applies to the construction industry. For more information contact the Compliance Division of the District office nearest to you. i _� � •" y {;� _ WitY N LY. Y N •cO y IvJ}n.i z U w- N > O O O .N O N U O >, F yor 'r 7 t r IFks, ISG d.

Relative to this specific project proposal, the environmental impacts noted in the MEIR, per the 2025 Fresno General Plan land use designations, include impacts associated with the medium low density residential land use designation specified for the subject parcel. Based on this initial study, the project does not change the land use indicated for the subject parcels and will not generate additional significant effects not previously identified by the MEIR and no new additional mitigation measures are required. Therefore, the project proposal is within the scope of the MEIR as defined by Section 15177 of the CEQA Guidelines. { i. Moreover, as lead agency for this project, the Planning and Development Department, per Section!15177 (d) of the CEQA Guidelines, has determined that all feasible mitigation measures from MEIR No. 10130 shall apply to the project proposal as noted in the attached mitigation monitoring checklist. Public notice has been provided regarding staffs finding in a manner prescribed by this section of the Guidelines and by Section 21092 of the California Public Resources Code (CEQA provisions). i Darrell R.

Caltrans has the following comments: This project, in and of itself, is not expected to have a significant impact on State facilities. However, the City should be aware that continued land use changes have the potential to create cumulatively significant impacts to both transportation and air quality. This is particularly true for the southeast region of the City of Fresno, having had a significant number of residential developments approved in the last year. Few of these developments have prepared traffic studies to evaluate their impacts to the transportation/circulation system or to 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 for project-related impacts. The City should consider a transit alternative for this project. The project is small but when combined with other development in the area, there is sufficient residential development to support transit. Early planning could make such an alternative feasible. Caltrans recommends that this project be routed to Fresno Area Express (FAX) staff for their review and comment. Please see Attachment Number 1 for other recommended transportation alternatives. We request that this letter be made 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.

Transit alternatives can help reduce congestion and delay and reduce overall degradation of air quality and gridlocked intersections. The City of Fresnol 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 thisl', area to provide insight on ways of increasing transit usage. I 3. Exploring the potential of commuter shuttles. The shuttle could be financedI through an assessment district and provide a way for individuals to utilize al park-and-ride facility or commercial area parking lot and be shuttled to various commercial/office centers within the area. Commuters who need to go further could use City of Fresno transit if the City planned for convenient connections. This may help to reduce the Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) demand seeking to use the State Highway System. 4. Providing for continuity of non-motorized transportation. i 5.

INC. I i INTRODUCTION Tract No. 5376 is a proposed residential subdivision to be located on the east side of South Clovis Avenue, north of East Jensen Avenue, within the City of Fresno, California. The City of Fresno has required an acoustical analysis to determine if traffic on South Clovis Avenue 1 will cause noise levels to exceed the City's standards and to determine if noise mitigation measures will be required. This report is based upon the.project site plan dated June 25, 2004. Revisions to the site plan may require reevaluation of the findings of this report. i Appendix A provides definitions of the acoustical terminology used in this report. Unless otherwise stated, all sound levels reported in this analysis are A-weighted sound pressure levels in decibels (dB). A-weighting de-emphasizes the very low and very high frequencies of sound in a manner similar to the human ear. Most community noise standards utilize A-weighted sound levels, as they correlate well with public reaction to noise. CRITERIA FOR ACCEPTABLE NOISE EXPOSURE The City of Fresno Noise Element of General Plan establishes noise level criteria in terms of the Day-Night Average Level (DNL) metric. The DNL is the time-weighted energy average noise level for a 24-hour day, with a 10 dB penalty added to noise levels occurring during] the nighttime hours (10:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m.). The DNL represents cumulative exposure to noise over an extended period of time and is therefore calculated based upon annual average conditions. I The Noise Element establishes a land use compatibility criterion of 60 dB DNL for exterior noise levels in outdoor activity areas of new residential developments. Outdoor activity areas generally include backyards of single-family residences and individual patios or decks of multi- family developments. The intent of the exterior noise level requirement is to provide an acceptable noise environment for outdoor activities and recreation. The Noise Element also requires that interior noise levels attributable to exterior noise sources not exceed 45 dB DNL. The intent of the interionnoise level standard is to provide an acceptable noise environment for indoor communication and sleep. I PROJECT SITE NOISE EXPOSURE Noise exposure from traffic on South Clovis Avenue was calculated for future (2025) conditions. The calculations were made using noise level data obtained by BBA at the project site,) the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA- RD-77-108), and traffic data obtained from the City of Fresno and the Fresno County Council of Governments (COG). The FHWA Model is the standard analytical method favored by most state and local agencies, including Caltrans and the City of Fresno, for roadway traffic noise prediction. The model is based upon reference energy emission levels for automobiles, medium trucks (2 axles) and heavy trucks (3 or more axles), with consideration given to vehicle volume, speed, roadway configuration, distance to the receiver, and the acoustical characteristics of the site. The FHWA i GABBA Files\0DM\Word\2004 Reports\04-077(Tract No.5376)8-23-04.doc 1 I Model was developed to predict hourly Leq values for free-flowing traffic conditions, acid is generally considered to be accurate within f1.5 dB. To predict DNL values, it is necessary to determine the hourly distribution of traffic for a typical day and adjust the traffic volume 'input data to yield an equivalent hourly traffic volume. The Calveno traffic noise emission curves are used as recommended by Caltrans to more accurately calculate noise levels generated by California traffic. I Noise level measurements and a concurrent traffic count were conducted by BBA within the project site on August 18, 2004. The purpose of the measurement was to evaluate the accuracy of the FHWA Model in describing traffic noise exposure within the project site. The measurement site was located approximately 90 feet from the center of South Clovis Avenues,and represents the approximate location of the closest proposed backyard center from that roadway. The project site plan and noise monitoring site are shown in Figure 1. The project site is flat) No grading information is currently available. The posted vehicle speed adjacent to the project site is 55 miles per hour. I Noise monitoring equipment consisted of a Bruel & Kjaer (B&K) Type 2230 sound level meter equipped with a B&K Type 4176 1/2" microphone. This equipment complies withl the specifications of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for Type I (Precision) sound level meters. The meter was calibrated in the field prior to use with a B&K Type 4230 acoustical calibrator certified by its manufacturer to be in compliance with National Bureau of Standards (NBS) reference levels.to ensure the accuracy of the measurements. The microphone was located on a tripod at 5 feet above the ground. Noise measurements were conducted in terms of the equivalent energy sound level (Leq). Measured Leq values were compared to Leq values calculated (predicted) by the FHWA Model using as inputs the traffic volumes, truck mix and vehicle speed observed during the noise measurements. The results of this comparison are shown in Table 1. From Table I it may be determined that the predicted noise level was 0.7 dB higher thanthe measured noise level for the observed traffic conditions. This is considered to be acceptable agreement between predicted and measured noise levels and indicates that the FHWA Model provides a conservative (worst-case) assessment of annual average traffic noise exposure within the project site.

Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) data for South Clovis Avenue adjacent to the project site were obtained from the Fresno COG. The day/night distribution and truck mix were based upon traffic counts conducted by Fresno County in April of 2000 for South Clovis Avenue north of Jensen Avenue. Table 11 summarizes annual average traffic data used to model noise exposure from South Clovis Avenue within the project site. Using data from Table H and the FHWA Model, annual average traffic noise exposure was calculated for the closest proposed backyard along South Clovis Avenue (90 feet from the center of the roadway). The calculated traffic noise exposure was 71.5 dB DNL for projected future (2025) conditions. Noise exposure contours of 60, 65 and 70 dB DNL are shown for future traffic conditions on the undeveloped site in Figure 1.

For the undeveloped site, the future traffic noise exposure within Lot 1 is 71.5 dB DNL for a receiver 5 feet above the project grade. Since projected future noise exposure represents a worst-case condition, it provides the basis for assessing noise mitigation requirements. To mitigate traffic noise exposure, the project developer has proposed that sound walls be constructed along the west boundaries of the project site facing South Clovis Avenue. The sound walls will provide acoustical shielding of individual backyards and reduce the amount of noise affecting the interior of proposed residences. A sound wall insertion loss program based on the FHWA Model was used to calculate the insertion loss (noise reduction) provided by the proposed sound walls. The model calculates the insertion loss of a wall of given height based on the effective height of the noise source, height of the receiver, distance from the receiver to the wall, and distance from the noise source to the wall. The standard assumptions used in the sound wall calculations are effective source heights of 8, 2 and 0 feet above the roadway for heavy trucks, medium trucks. and automobiles, respectively. The standard height of a residential receiver is five feet above the building pad elevation. Based upon the above-described assumptions and method of analysis, the noise level insertion loss values for sound walls of various heights were calculated. The calculations indicated that a sound wall with a minimum height of 13.0 feet relative to the elevation of the top of the curb on west side of Lot 1 was necessary to meet the City's 60 dB DNL criterion. Table III shows the noise reduction provided by various wall heights and the resulting noise levels in terms of the DNL.

Interior Noise Exposure: The City of Fresno interior noise level standard is 45 dB DNL. In order to satisfy the City'.s interior noise level standard at the first-floor level, and assuming that the above-described sound walls will be in place, the proposed construction will need to be capable of providing a minimum outdoor-to-indoor noise level reduction(NLR) of 15 dB (60-45=15). Second-floor living spaces, if proposed, would need to be capable of providing a NIR performance of approximately 26-27 dB on Lot 1. The higher NIR performance required for second floor living spaces is the result of reduced acoustical shielding provided by the proposed sound walls. GABBA Fi1es\0DM\Word\2004 Reports\04-077(Tract No.5376)8-23-04.doc 6 A specific analysis of interior noise levels was not performed. However, it may be assumed that residential construction methods complying with current building code requirements will reduce exterior noise levels by a least 20-25 dB if windows and doors are closed. This will be sufficient for compliance with the City's 45 dB DNL interior standard at the first-floor level, provided the recommended sound wall is constructed. Requiring that windows and doors remain closed for the required interior noise insulation means that air conditioning or mechanical ventilation will be required. If a two-story home is proposed for Lot 1, a detailed acoustical analysis will be required to ensure the City's interior noise level standard will be complied with. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Tract No. 5376 will comply with the exterior and interior noise level requirements of the City provided the following mitigation measures are incorporated into the final project design. 1. The sound walls described in Table IV of this report should be .constructed to reduce exterior noise exposure in outdoor activity areas and the level of noise affecting exterior building facades. The sound walls should be continuous without gaps or openings. Sound walls should be constructed of a dense material such as masonry blocks or stucco on both sides of a wood/steel frame. 2. Mechanical ventilation or air conditioning must be provided for all homes so that windows and doors may remain closed for the required acoustical insulation. 3. Acoustic baffles should be installed on the interior side of gable vents of Lot 1. An example of a suitable attic vent baffle is shown by Appendix B. 4. Exterior doors, excluding glass doors, should be solid-core wood or insulated steel with perimeter weather-stripping and threshold seals. The conclusions and recommendations of this acoustical analysis are based upon the best information available at the time the analysis was prepared concerning the proposed site plan, project grading, traffic volumes, vehicle speeds, truck mix and roadway configuration. Any significant changes in these factors will require a reevaluation of the findings of this report. Additionally, any significant future changes in motor vehicle technology, noise regulations or other factors beyond BBA's control may result in long-term noise results different from those described by this analysis.

In this context, the ambient noise level constitutes the normal or existing level of environmental noise at a given location. CNEL: Community Noise Equivalent Level. The average equivalent sound level during a 24-hour day,obtained after addition of approximately five decibels to sound levels in the evening from 7:00 p.m.to 10:00 P.m. and ten decibels to sound levels in the night before 7:00 a.m. and after 10:00 p.m. DECIBEL, dB: A unit for describing the amplitude of sound, equal to 20 times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the pressure of the sound measured to the reference pressure, which is 20 micropascals (20 micronewtons per square meter). DNL/Ld,,: Day/Night Average Sound Level. The average equivalent sound level during a 24-hour day,obtained after addition of ten decibels to sound levels in the night after 10:00 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m. Leq: Equivalent Sound Level. The sound level containing the same total energy as a time varying signal over a given sample period. Leq is typically computed over 1, 8 and 24-hour sample periods. NOTE:. The CNEL and DNL represent daily levels of noise exposure. averaged on an annual basis,while Leq represents the average noise exposure for a shorter time period, typically one hour. Lmax: . The maximum noise level recorded during a noise event. L,,: The sound level exceeded 'In" percent of the time during a sample interval (40, L50, Ljo, etc.). For example, L10 equals the level exceeded 10 percent of the time. BBA BROWN • BUNTIN ASSOCIATES, INC. s A-2 ACOUSTICAL TERMINOLOGY NOISE EXPOSURE CONTOURS: Lines drawn about a noise source indicating constant levels of noise exposure. CNEL and DNL contours are frequently utilized to describe community exposure to noise. NOISE LEVEL REDUCTION (NLR): The noise reduction between indoor and outdoor environments or between two rooms that is the numerical difference, in decibels, of the average sound pressure levels-in those areas or rooms. A measurement of"noise level reduction" combines the effect of the transmission loss performance of the structure plus the effect of acoustic absorption present in the receiving room. SEL or SENEL: Sound Exposure Level or Single Event Noise Exposure Level. The level of noise accumulated during a single noise event, such as an aircraft overflight,with reference to a duration of one second. More specifically, it is the time-integrated A-weighted squared sound pressure for a stated time interval or event, based on a reference pressure of 20 micropascals and a reference duration of one second. SOUND LEVEL: The sound pressure level in decibels as measured on a sound level meter using the A-weighting filter network. The A-weighting filter de-emphasizes the very low and very high frequency components of the sound in a manner similar to the response of the human ear and gives good correlation with subjective reactions to noise. SOUND TRANSMISSION CLASS (STC): The single-number rating of sound transmission loss for a construction element (window, door, etc.) over a frequency range where speech intelligibility largely occurs.
