A-04-28/R-04-89/T- 5424 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Provost & Pritchard, Inc., on behalf of Dunmore Homes, has filed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM pertaining to approximately 39.48 gross acres (38.80 net acres) of property located on the north side of East Clinton Avenue between North Armstrong and North Temperance Avenues. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the subject property into a 116-lot, single family residential subdivision at an overall density of 2.99 units per acre. The subject property is currently within the jurisdiction of the County of Fresno, however Plan Amendment Application No. A-04-28 and Rezone Application No. R-04-89 were approved by the Fresno City Council on June 14, 2005 effective upon annexation. The plan amendment amended the approximately 39.48 acre site of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the McLane Community Plan from the low density residential planned land use designation to the medium-low density residential planned land use designation. The rezone reclassified the subject site from the AE-20 (Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural) (County of Fresno) zone district to the R-1/EA/UGM (Single Family Residential/Expressway Area Overlay/Urban Growth Management) zone district. Given that the surrounding parcels were largely developed with rural residential type residences along the western, southeastern and southern property lines of the subject site were reclassified to the R-1-A/EA/UGM zone district, which has a minimum lot area of 20;000 square feet. The subdivision is supported by staff. PROJECT INFORMATION PROJECT A 116-lot, single family residential subdivision to be developed at an overall density of 2.99 units per acre APPLICANT Dunmore Homes (Engineer: Provost & Pritchard, Inc.)

This process included the distribution of requests for comment from other responsible or affected agencies and interested organizations. Preparation of the environmental assessment necessitated a thorough review of the proposed project and relevant environmental issues and considered previously prepared environmental and technical studies pertinent to the McLane Community Plan area including the Master Environmental Impact REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM August 17, 2005 Page 3 Report (MEIR No. 10130) for the 2025 Fresno General Plan. These environmental and technical studies have examined projected sewage generation rates of planned urban uses, the capacity of existing sanitary sewer collection and treatment facilities, and optimum alternatives for increasing capacities groundwater aquifer resource conditions; water supply production and distribution system capacities; traffic carrying capacity of the planned major street system; and, student generation projections and school facility site location identification. The previously approved plan amendment of the adopted 2025 Fresno General Plan, was determined to not be fully within the scope of MEIR No. 10130 as provided by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as codified in the Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21157.1(d) and the CEQA Guidelines Section 15177(c). It was further determined that all applicable mitigation measures of MEIR No. 10130 be applied to the project, together with project specific mitigation measures necessary to assure that the project will not cause significant adverse cumulative impacts, growth inducing impacts and irreversible significant effects beyond those identified by MEIR No. 10130 as provided by CEQA Section 15178(a). Therefore, it was determined that based upon the evidence in the record that the previously approved amendment and the proposed subdivision map will not have a significant impact on the environment and that the filing of a mitigated negative declaration is appropriate in accordance with the provisions of CEQA Section 21157.5(a)(2) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15178(b)(1) and (2). Based upon the attached environmental assessment and the list of identified mitigation measures, staff determined that there is no evidence in the record that the project may have a significant effect on the environment and recommended the adoption of a mitigated negative declaration for the plan amendment and this project. A public notice of the attached mitigated negative declaration finding for Environmental Assessment Application No. A-04-28/R-04-89/T-5424 was published on May 4, 2005. BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS Provost $ Pritchard, Inc., on behalf of Dunmore Homes, has filed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM pertaining to approximately 39.48 gross acres (38.80 net acres) of property located on the north side of East Clinton Avenue between North Armstrong and North Temperance Avenues. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the subject property into a 116-lot, single family residential subdivision at an overall density of 2.99 units per acre. The subject property is currently within the jurisdiction of the County of Fresno, however Plan Amendment Application No. A-04-28 and Rezone Application No. R-04-89 were approved by the Fresno City Council on June 14, 2005 pending annexation to the city. The plan amendment amended the approximately 39.48 acre site of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the McLane Community Plan from the low density residential planned land use designation to the medium-low density residential planned land use designation. The rezone reclassified the subject site from the AE-20 (Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural) (County of Fresno) zone district to the R-1/EA/UGM (Single Family Residential/Expressway Area Overlay/Urban Growth Management) zone district. The property along the western, southeastern and southern property lines were reclassified to the R-1-A/EA/UGM (Single Family Residential District/Expressway Area Overlay District/Urban Growth Management) zone district which has a minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet. Surrounding land uses are characterized by semi-rural single family residences to the east, south, and west, while property to the north was recently approved for single family residential development. However, it should be noted that with the exception of the property to the north, the subject property is largely surrounded by rural and agricultural parcels. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM August 17, 2005 Page 4 McLane Community Plan The subject property is located within the boundaries of the McLane Community Plan, which does not have an advisory committee. Land Use Plans and Policies It is worth noting that the applicant previously submitted Plan Amendment Application No. A-04-28 and Rezone Application No. R-04-89. The plan amendment proposed to amend approximately 39.48 acres of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the McLane Community Plan from the low density residential planned land use designation to the medium-low density residential planned land use designation. The rezone application proposed to reclassify the subject property from AE-20 (Exclusive Twenty Acre Agricultural) (County of Fresno) zone district to the R-1/EA/UGM (Single Family Residential/Expressway Area Overlay/Urban Growth Management) zone district. The subject property was originally designated for low density residential planned land uses during the 2025 Fresno General Plan update process, which also included an update of the McLane Community Plan. During this process, the Planning Commission and the City Council were presented with written and verbal testimony by city staff, consultants, and.interested persons over the course of eight Planning Commission and two City Council meetings. During these meetings, staff recommended that the subject property be designated for low density residential planned land uses given that the majority of the surrounding parcels, specifically those to the west, southeast, southwest, and south were developed with rural residential type residences on approximately two acre parcels and were not likely to be redeveloped with more conventional single family lots. During the October 16, 2002 Commission meeting, the Commission recommended to the Council that it adopt the 2025 General Plan, which included designating the subject property for low density residential planned land uses. On November 19, 2002, the Council, per Council Resolution No. 2002-379 adopted the 2025 General Plan, which included the Commission's recommendation that the subject site be designated for low density residential planned land uses. Because of the Planning Commission and City Council's commitment to the surrounding neighborhood that the subject site would be developed with a compatible type of development, staff recommended that the applicant's request to change the planned land use designation from the low density residential planned land use designation to the medium-low residential planned land use designation be approved, subject to the proposed parcels along the western, southern, and southeastern property lines being zoned R-1-A/EA/UGM, thereby requiring minimum lot sizes of 20,000 square feet. Consequently, the applicant was required to provide larger estate type lots on the periphery of the subject site which would act as a buffer for the existing residences to the west, southeast.and south. Staff recommended that the remaining portion of the subject property be reclassified to the R-1/EA/UGM zone district, which requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. As a result, a gradation of lot sizes would be provided which would descend from 20,000 to approximately 6,000 square feet and would blend with the approved subdivision to the north (Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5233, approved by the Commission on December 17, 2003) that contains 347 single family residential lots on parcels that are approximately 6,200 square feet in area. The City Council, per Ordinance No. 2005-63 and Resolution No. 2005-219, adopted staffs recommendation effective upon annexation of the subject property to the city. The applicant has since submitted Vesting Tentative Tract.Map No. 5424/UGM. The map proposes to subdivide the site into a 116-lot single family residential subdivision at an overall density of 2.99 dwelling units per acre. As required per Ordinance No. 2005-63, the applicant has provided the minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet per parcel along the western, southeastern and southern property lines, which are the common properties between the site and semi-rural residential parcels. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM August 17, 2005 Page 5 Public Services Water Resources and Public Water Supply The Water Division of the Public Utilities Department has determined that there is an adequate source of water available to serve the project with the implementation of the Urban Growth Management (UGM) service delivery requirements, the environmental impact mitigation measures, the construction of a water supply well, and installation of an above ground water storage and treatment facility. It should also be noted that 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 would place 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. If approved, the proposed project would be required to contribute to short-term and long-range water supply and distribution remediation projects in order to adequately address this deficiency, if approved. The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that this project may eventually be accommodated by their facilities. However, until such time the developer will be required to construct temporary facilities as determined by the district. Sewage Collection System Capacity The Cities of Fresno and Clovis share jointly in the treatment capacity of the Fresno-Clovis Regional Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility. In 1998, the treatment capacity was expanded.to accommodate up to 80 million gallons per day, and was upgraded with modernized equipment to safeguard against equipment failures. However, in an attempt to serve the anticipated 790,000 metropolitan area population for the year 2025, one or more sub-regional treatment and reclamation facilities will be required. While the proposed project may presently be accommodated by the Fowler Avenue Trunk Sewer, previous public facility and environmental analyses have projected that the Fowler Avenue Trunk Sewer does not have sufficient design capacity to accommodate the sewage flows that could be generated by full development of the McLane Community Plan area and the Southeast Growth Area. To address this concern, the City of Fresno is pursuing several options to increase sewage collection and treatment capacity for the eastern portion of the metropolitan area. The North Avenue Trunk Sewer has been constructed to serve the easterly and southerly areas and supplement the other trunk sewers' capacity to accommodate development of the east and southeast areas. The City of Fresno has negotiated a temporary exchange of sewer capacity with the City of Clovis for its Fowler trunk sewer capacity. This temporary exchange of capacity is conditioned upon Fresno replacing capacity exchanged in the Fowler trunk sewer with capacity in future facilities to be determined. Necessary and appropriate fees to provide for the replacement of said Fowler trunk capacity exchange have not yet been adopted by the City Council. Mitigation measures and tract map conditions of approval will include a requirement that the developer pay an "Interim Fee Surety." Any amount paid above and beyond the required fee surety shall be refunded once the fee has been adopted. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM August 17, 2005 Page 6 Thus, sanitary sewer service is available to serve the site, subject to the mitigation measures imposed with the environmental assessment, and any necessary sewer main extensions and connections. Fire Protection Services The project site is located within the city's UGM 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. Fire service will be provided by City of Fresno Fire Station No. 10, which is located within three miles. City of Fresno Fire Station No. 15, currently under construction, located at South Clovis Avenue and East Park Circle is within three miles of the subject property and will provide assistance, if necessary. Clovis Unified School District The project site is served by the Clovis Unified School District and is within the attendance boundaries of Temperance-Kutner Elementary School (North Armstrong and East Olive Avenues), Reyburn Intermediate School and Clovis East High School. Reyburn Intermediate School and Clovis East High School are both located in the Reagan Educational Complex which is bound by East.Ashlan, East Gettysburg, North Locan and North DeWolf Avenues. Because of the rapid growth occurring within the district's boundaries, the school district has advised the city that future adjustments of school attendance areas could occur such that students residing in the proposed project will attend an elementary school other than Temperance-Kutner and that students may attend more than one elementary school during their elementary school years. Furthermore, the school district has adopted development fees in accordance with current state law and currently levies a development fee based on square footage, which the project site will be subject to at the time of development. Circulation Element Plan Policies and Major Street System Traffic Capacity The development of the project site with the proposed 116 single-family residences, and the surrounding planned land 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 Avenue as an expressway and East Clinton Avenues as a collector street. Expressways are typically developed with three lanes of travel in each direction of travel separated by a median island, and have limited access. Collector streets are typically developed with two travel lanes in each direction but without a median island. However, all street standards provide for a widened pavement width at major street intersections to allow for exclusive left-turn and right-turn lanes as well as bus bays or turnouts. As required by the mitigation measures established by the certification of MEIR No. 10130, a traffic assessment was prepared by Peters Engineering Group (dated November 12, 2004 and amended April 25, 2005) 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, Seventh Edition, and associated computer software together with the COG's 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. The Traffic Impact Study (TIS) analyzed the intersections at East Clinton and North Armstrong Avenues, and East Clinton and North Temperance Avenues. The study analyzed 128 units, however at the REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM August 17, 2005 Page 7 request of the City Council, the applicant has since reduced the numberof parcels to 116. At 128 single family residential dwelling units, the project could have been expected to generate an average of approximately 653 vehicle trips per day (VTD). Of these vehicle trips, it is projected that 100 will occur during the morning (7 to 9 a.m.) peak hour travel period and 134 will occur during the evening (4 to 6 p.m.) period hour travel period. The project traffic study indicates that the majority of the peak hour vehicle trips are expected to travel south via East Clinton Avenue to North Armstrong and North Temperance Avenues. Because much of the immediately surrounding area (i.e. 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. Subdivision Design/Streets and Access Points This subdivision is proposed to have one access point to East Clinton Avenue and one access point to North McKelvey Avenue (to Tract Map No. 5233) immediately to the north of the subject site. The subdivision also proposes one future street connection to the property to the west of the subject site. The Public Works Department, Transportation Planning Section has reviewed the tentative tract map and has determined that the streets adjacent to and near the subject site will be able to accommodate the quantity and kind of traffic generated, subject to the dedication and improvement of adjacent portions of East Clinton Avenue and North Temperance Avenue. In addition, the applicant will be required to construct two 17 foot center section travel lanes from the subject site west along East Clinton Avenue to the intersection of North Fowler Avenue. State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations has submitted the attached comments dated May 10, 2005, indicating that the proposed project in and of itself is not expected to create significant impacts to the state highway system. Landscaping/Trails Given that the proposed subdivision abuts a planned expressway (i.e. North Temperance Avenue) and a collector street (i.e. East Clinton Avenue), the applicant will be required to install landscaping along both of these major streets. Pursuant to the Multi-Purpose Trails Plan Map (Exhibit 9 of the 2025 Fresno General Plan), a bicycle/pedestrian trail with an equestrian path is required along North Temperance Avenue. The trail shall be constructed to Public Works and Planning and Development Department standards and shall be a minimum of 26 feet in width. In addition, the applicant shall provide 10 feet of landscaping along East Clinton Avenue pursuant to Section 12-1011-F of the FMC. Acoustical Analysis/Walls 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 the 70 decibel contour according to the MEIR 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 REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM August 17, 2005 Page 8 acoustical analysis performed by Bollard and Brennan, Inc., for the project found the noise levels to be substantial in a report dated October 18, 2004 for the subject site. Bollard and Brennan also prepared an acoustical analysis for Vesting_ Tentative Tract Map No. 5461 slightly less than one mile north of the site (dated October 15, 2004). The acoustical analysis used the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA RD-77-108) in addition to field measurements at the project site. The outdoor noise level, without a sound attenuation wall, is 70.0 dB DNL at a location 101 feet from the center of the roadway (North Temperance Avenue). The study concludes that a 10-foot high wall is required along North Temperance Avenue, which shall turn westward along the northern and southern property lines along this street for roughly 451 feet. However, the acoustical analysis for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5461 concluded that a 12-foot high wall along North Temperance Avenue would be necessary in an attempt to reduce the noise levels to acceptable levels, although the portion of the street adjacent to this map (i.e. T-5461) is anticipated to have a lower traffic volume. Consequently staff will require that the applicant install a 12-foot wall along this property line which will gradually decrease to six-feet along the southern and northern property lines, unless the applicant amends the acoustical analysis to staff's satisfaction. In addition, the applicant will be required to install a six-foot solid wall at the rear of the required landscape setback along East Clinton Avenue. The solid wall barrier is expected to reduce the exterior noise level to 58.5 dB DNL at the first floor height, which is below the city's 60 dB DNL exterior noise level requirement. In addition, in a letter by the developer's representative dated April 20, 2005, the applicant has agreed to provide a "decorative solid masonry wall" along the east, south and west property lines (Exhibit A). Staff will require that the applicant provide this wall in accordance with their letter. Setbacks Given that the subject site is adjacent to a planned expressway (i.e. North Temperance Avenue), the project must comply with the provisions of Section 12-244 (Expressway Area Overlay District) of the FMC. In accordance with this section, the minimum building setback along this street shall not be less than 75 feet from the center line of the nearest moving traffic lane. Within this setback will be the required multi-purpose trail, which will be separated from the proposed homes by the wall described above. Lots within the R-1-A/EA/UGM zone district typically have a minimum front yard setback of 35 feet and a rear yard of 20 feet, while the R=1/EA/UGM zoned parcels provide a 20 foot front and rear yards. However it should be noted that in a letter by the developer's representative dated April 20, 2005 (Exhibit A), the applicant has agreed to provide a 50 foot building setback for the parcels along the south, southeast and west property lines. As a result, the R-1-A/EA/UGM zoned parcels shall provide this setback. In addition, Section 12-207.5-E-2 of the FMC requires that homes on the same block provide an average front yard setback of the remainder of the block. Consequently, any homes proposed homes that may be zoned R-1/EA/UGM that are on the same block as homes that are zoned R-1-A/EA/UGM shall provide a front yard setback in accordance with the provisions described above. Lot Area and Dimensions Lot Area The R-1/EA/UGM zone district requires minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet while the R-1-A/EA/UGM zone district requires minimum lot sizes of 20,000 square feet. The City Council, as part of their review of the plan amendment and rezone applications imposed the condition that the applicant provide a minimum of 20,000 square foot parcels along the south, southeast and west property lines to provide a REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM August 17, 2005 Page 9 buffer to the surrounding properties from more conventional single family lot subdivisions. All of the lots in the subdivision exceed the minimum lot size requirement. Lot Dimensions The FMC requires that all lots within the R-1/EA/UGM zone district provide a minimum lot width of 60 feet and depth of 100 feet,with the exception of lots on curved streets and reversed corner lots. The applicant will be required to modify several of the proposed lots in order to comply with this requirement. In addition, the R-1-A/EA/UGM zone district requires a minimum lot width of 110 feet and depth of 130 feet, with the exception of lots located on curved streets and reversed corner lots. The majority of the proposed parcels meet this requirement, however the applicant will be required to modify several of the proposed parcels to comply with the provisions of the FMC. 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 planned land use pending annexation and the project design meets the density and zoning ordinance criteria for development in these plan designations, subject to redesigning the map so that all of the proposed parcels meet the minimum lot dimensions. 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 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. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM August 17, 2005 Page 10 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. 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. Planning Commission action of the proposed tentative tract map, unless appealed to the Council, is final. CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION The appropriateness of the proposed project has been examined with respect to its consistency with goals and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the McLane Community Plan; its compatibility with surrounding existing or proposed uses; and its avoidance or mitigation of potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. These factors have been evaluated as described above and by the accompanying environmental assessment. Upon consideration of this evaluation, it can be concluded that Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5424/UGM is appropriate for the project site, subject to the conditions listed below. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1. AFFIRM the City Council's June 14, 2005 adoption of the environmental finding of a mitigated negative declaration for Environmental Assessment No. A-04-28/R-04-89/T-5424 dated May 4, 2005. 2.

The meeting was productive because it provided an opportunity to describe the project and propose five additional project conditions. At the aforementioned meeting, the following additional project conditions were offered which will be made part of the City of Fresno project record: .1. As detailed on the attached map, a 50-foot building setback will be maintained for all lots along the project west and south property lines. 2. As detailed on the attached map, a decorative solid masonry wall will be constructed along the west, south and east property lines of the proposed project. 3. The applicant desires to reduce potential visual impacts associated with the project for those parcels immediately adjacent to the proposed development. For various reasons, the applicant can not install landscaping on property he does not own. Therefore, prior to the recordation of the project final map,a$2,500 landscape allowance will be paid to each property owner adjacent to the proposed development to defray the cost to enhance the landscaping of the property owner's rear yard. Please see attached map. 4. Building rooflines, roof materials and building placement will be varied to improve aesthetics. 5. To reduce annoyances and traffic delays, a process will be developed to inform neighbors of the construction schedule and related traffic routes during construction of the project. It is acknowledged that the property owners surrounding the project are not interested in annexing into the City of Fresno. As we discussed, annexation boundaries will be determined by Fresno County and the City of Fresno. We trust these conditions will make our project a better neighbor to you. If you have any questions regarding this project, please feel free to contact me.

A Development Agreement shall be executed with the District to effect such credit. Reimbursement provisions, in accordance with the Drainage Fee Ordinance, will be included.to the extent that Developer's Master Plan costs for an individual drainage area exceed the fee of said area. Should the facilities cost for such individual area total less than the fee of said area,the difference shall be paid upon demand to the City or District. A minimum fifteen-foot(15') wide storm drain easement will be required whenever storm drain facilities are located on private property. No encroachments into the easement will be permitted including, but not limited to, foundations, roof overhangs, swimming pools, and trees. The easement may be slightly realigned to accommodate future development,provided the property owner accepts the responsibility to grade the property such that the drainage from the property will reach inlets on the alternate pipeline alignment,and accepts any additional costs for the construction of additional storm drain facilities that maybe required. Any proposed storm drain alignments must be reviewed and approved by the District. Storm drain facilities shown on Exhibit No. 1 are tentative only, and may be subject to change pending Master Plan finalization for this drainage area. The District recognizes that the developer'.s proposed street patterns for Tract.5424 are not consistent with the alignment of the Master Plan facilities, as identified on Exhibit No. 1. The storm drain facilities may be slightly realigned to be compatible with the proposed street layout for Tract 5.424. However, drainage fee credit will only be granted for the Master Plan storm drain facilities identified on Exhibit No. 1. The Developer is required to provide storage in Basin "BS" by excavating 12,000 cubic yards as directed by the District in an excavation permit obtained from the District. If stockpiled within Basin "BS",the Developer will be eligible for$1.40 per cubic yard credit. The District reserves the right to delete this work prior to the Developer initiating work. t Prior to any work being initiated in the basin, the Developer or his Contractor shall obtain an excavation permit from the District. If the work consists solely of stockpiling material excavated from the basin within the basin,there is not a permit fee. However, if any material is removed from the basin(off-site),a permit fee shall be paid prior to receiving the permit. No importing of material is permitted.

San Joaquin Valley .Air Pollution Control District November 30, 2004 Reference No. 770DEV2004 Dave Braun, Planner III j Planning & Dev. Dept. -=` 2600 Fresno St., Third Floor Fresno, CA 93721-3604 Subject: A-04-28, R-04-89 (APN 310-250-08, 18, 19) Dc =�t Dear Mr. Braun: The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution_Control District (District) has reviewed the project referenced above and offers the following comments: The entire San Joaquin.Valley Air Basin is classified non-attainment for ozone and fine particulate matter (PM10). This project 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/rules/1 ruleslist.htm. Regulation VIII (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions)-.Regulation VIII (Rules 8011-8081) is a series of rules designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction, road construction, bulk materials storage, landfill operations, etc. If a residential project is 10.0 or more acres in area, a Dust Control Plan must be submitted as specified in Section 6:3.1 of Rule 8021. 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 begih any earthmoving activities (see section 6.4.1). A compliance assistance bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant. A template of the.District's Dust Control Plan is available at: http://www.valleyair.org/busind/comply/PM10/forms/DCP-Form`/`20-°/`2010-14-2004.pdf Rule 4002 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants). In the event that any portion of an existing building will be renovated, partially demolished or removed, the project will be subject to District Rule 4002. Prior to any demolition activity, an asbestos survey of existing structures on the project site may be required to identify the presence of any asbestos containing building material (ACBM). Any identified ACBM having the potential for disturbance must be removed by a certified asbestos-contractor in accordance with .CAL-OSHA requirements. If you have any questions concerning asbestos related requirements, please contact Mr, Dwayne England of this office at (559) 230-5973, or contact CAL-OSHA at (559) 454-1295. An Asbestos Requirements Bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant. 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. Dave Braun November 30,2004 A-04-28, R-04-89 Page 2 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. 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 Operations). If asphalt paving will be used, then paving operations of this project will be subject to Rule 4641. This rule applies to the manufacture and use of cutback asphalt, slow cure asphalt and emulsified asphalt for paving and maintenance operations. Rule 4901 (Wood Burning Fireplaces and Wood Burning Heaters) and Rule 4902 (Residential Water Heaters) limit the emissions of PM10 .and NOx in residential developments. Construction plans for residential developments may be affected by section 5.3 of Rule 4901, specificall;/: §5.3 Limitations on Wood Burning Fireplaces or Wood Burning Heaters in New Residential Developments. Beginning January 1,2004, 5.3.1 No person shall install a wood burning fireplace in a new residential development with a density greater than two(2)dwelling units per acre. .5.3.2 No person shall install more than two (2) EPA Phase 11 Certified wood burning heaters per acre in any new residential development-with a density equal to or greater than three (3) dwelling units per acre. 5.3.3 No person shall install more than one (1) wood burning fireplace or wood burning heater per dwelling unit in any new residential development with a density equal to or less than two (2) dwelling units per acre. More information about Rule 4901 can be found at our website- www.vallevair.org. For compliance assistance, please contact Mr. Wayne Glarke,.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: Trees should be 'carefully selected and located to protect the buildings from energy consuming environmental conditions, and to shade paved areas. Structural soil-should be. usedunder paved . areas to improve tree growth. A brochure has been included for the applicant. For Structural Soil see http://www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/ For Tree Selection see httip://www.ufei.org/ For Urban Forestry see http://www.coolcommunities.org http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu http://www.lgc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/siv tree_guidelines.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 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 Dave Braun November 30,2004 A-04-28, R-04-89 Page 3 pedestrian and bicycle use. Such pathways should be easy to navigate, designed to facilitate pedestrian movement through the project, and. create a safe environment for all potential users (pedestrian, bicycle and disabled) from obstacles and automobiles. Mid-block paths should be installed to facilitate pedestrian movement through long blocks (over 500' in length) and cul-de-sacs. Sidewalks should be designed for high visibility (brightly painted, different color of concrete; etc.) when crossing parking lots, streets and similar vehicle paths. Clearly maT<�ed and highly visible pedestrian accesses create a safer environment for both pedestrians and vehicles. Pathways through the project should be built in anticipation of future growth. • As many energy-conserving features as :possible should be included the project. Energy conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and operational energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to): Increased energy efficiency(above California Title_ 24 Requirements) See http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/. Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E) High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.lbi.-g.ov/coolroof! Cool Paving. See httr)://www.harc.edu/harc/Projects/CoolHouston/, http://eande.lbl.gov/heatisland/ Radiant heat barrier. See http:Hwww.eere.energy.gov/consumerinfo/refbriefs/bc7.htmI Energy efficient lighting, appliances, heating and cooling systems. See http://www.energystar.gov/ - Install solar water-heating system(s) Install photovoltaic cells Programmable thermostat(s) for all heating and cooling systems Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows Porch, patio and walkway overhangs . Ceiling fans, whole house fans Orient the units to maximize passive solar cooling and heating when practicable Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs. (e.g. natural convection, thermal flywheels) See http://www.eere.energy.gov/RE/solar passive.html Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom windows etc. See http://www.advancedbuildings.org Electrical outlets around the exterior of the unit to encourage use of electric landscape maintenance equipment Pre-wire the unit(s) with high speed modem connections/DSL and extra phone lines - Natural gas fireplaces (instead of wood-burning fireplaces or heaters) - Natural gas lines (if available to this area) and electrical outlets in backyard or patio areas to encourage the use.of gas and/or electric barbecues - Low or non-polluting incentives.items should be provided with each residential unit (such items could include electric lawn mowers, reel mowers, leaf-vacuums, gas or electric barbecues, etc.) Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from the project site More information can be found at: http://www.lgc.org, http://www.sustainable.doe.gov/, http://www.consumerenergyicenter.org/index.html http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/GreenBuilding/ • The applicant should implement measures to reduce the amount of vehicle traffic to and from the project area that further reduce air pollution in the valley. This could include providing an information center for residents to coordinate carpooling. Check out the "Spare the Air" section of our website www.valleyair.org • The project should include as many clean alternative energy features as possible to promote energy self-sufficiency.

Minimize idling time (e.g. 10 minute maximum) Limit the hours of operation of heavy duty equipment and/or the amount of equipment in use - Replace fossil-fueled equipment with electrically driven equivalents (provided they are not run via a portable generator set) - Curtail construction during periods of high ambient .pollutant concentrations; this may include ceasing of construction activity during the peak-hour of vehicular traffic on adjacent roadways, and "Spare the Air Days" declared by the District. - Implement activity management(e.g. rescheduling activities to reduce short-term impacts) - During the smog season Way through October), lengthen the construction period to minimize the number of vehicles and equipment operating at the same time. Construction equipment should have engines that are Tier II.(if-available as certified by the Air Resources Board). Tier I and Tier II (2.5 gram) engines have a significantly less PM and NOx emissions compared to uncontrolled engines. Onsite equipment should be equipped with 1998 or newer engines. Engines built after 1998 are cleaner Tier II engines. To find engines certified by the Air Resources Board, see http://www.arb.ca.gov/msi)rog/offroad/cert/cert.pho. This site lists engines by type, then manufacturer. The "Executive Order" shows what Tier the engine is certified as. For more information on heavy-duty engines, please contact Mr. Kevin McCaffrey, Air Quality Specialist, at (559) 230-5831. Off road trucks should be equipped with on-road engines when possible. Light Duty Cars and Trucks should be alternative fueled or hybrids. Minimize obstruction of traffic on adjacent roadways. District staff is available to meet with you and/or the applicant to further discuss the regulatory requirements that are associated with this project.

Sincerely Chrystal eier Student Intern Central Region Enclosures c:file San Joaquin valley i Air Pollution Control District COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE BULLETIN October 2004 Fugitive Dust Control at Construction Sites: New Requirements Regulation VIII, Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions, of the District's Rules and Regulations apply to activities that generate fugitive dust. Fugitive dust is emitted into the air by activities that disturb the soil, such as from earthmoving.activities and vehicular/equipment traffic on unpaved surfaces. Windblown dust is also of concern at construction sites. The District adopted Regulation Vill in 1993 and its most recent amendments became effective on October 1, 2004.. This is a basic summary of the regulation's requirements as they apply to construction sites. Visible Dust Emissions (VDE) may not exceed 20% opacity during periods when soil is being disturbed by equipment or by wind at any time. Visible Dust Emissions opacity of 20% means dust that would obstruct an . observer's view of an object by 20% . District inspectors are state certified to evaluate visible emissions Dust control may be achieved by applying water before/during earthwork and onto unpaved traffic areas, phasing .work to limit dust, and setting up wind fences to limit wind blown dust. Soil Stabilization is required at regulated construction sites after normal working hours and on weekends and. holidays. This requirement also applies to inactive construction areas such as phased. .projects where disturbed land is left unattended. Applying water to form a visible crust on the soil and restricting vehicle access are often effective for short-term stabilization of disturbed surface areas. Long-term methods including applying dust suppressants and establishing vegetative cover. Carryout and Trackout occur when materials from emptied or loaded vehicles falls onto a paved surface or shoulder of a public road or when materials adhere to vehicle tires and are deposited onto a.paved surface or shoulder of a public road. Should either occur, the material must be cleaned up at least daily, and immediately if it extends more than 50 feet from the exit point onto a paved road. The appropriate clean-up methods require the complete removal and cleanup of.mud and dirt from the paved surface and shoulder. Using a blower device or dry sweeping with any mechanical device other than a PM10-efficient street sweeper is a violation. Larger construction sites must prevent carryout and trackout from occurring by installing gravel pads, grizzlies, wheel washers, paved interior roads,.ora combination thereof at each exit point from the site. Access and Haul Roads that are unpaved, as well as unpaved. vehicle. and equipment, traffic areas at construction sites must have dust control. Speed limit signs limiting vehicle speed to 15 mph or less at construction sites must be posted every 500 feet: Storage Piles and Bulk Materials have handling, storage, and transportation requirements that include applying water when handling materiais,. wetting or covering stored materials, and installing.wind barriers to limit VDE. Also, limiting vehicle speeds, loading haul trucks with a freeboard of six inches or greater along Northern Region Office Central Region Office Southern Region Office 4230 Kiernan Avenue, Suite 130 1990 East Gettysburg Avenue 2700"M" Street,Suite 275 Modesto, CA 95356-9321 Fresno,CA 93726-0244 Bakersfield,CA 93301-2373 (209)557-6400 ♦ FAX(209)557-6475 (559) 230-6000 ♦ FAX(559)230-6062 (661)326-6900 ♦ FAX(661)326-6985 with applying water to the top of the load, and covering the cargo. compartments are effective measures for reducing VDE and carryout from vehicles transporting bulk materials. Demolition activities require the application of water to the exterior of the buildings and to unpaved surfaces where materials may fall. Consider all structures slated for demolition as possibly being regulated because of asbestos, per District Rule 4002 - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants. Contact the District well. before starting because a 10 working day notice will likely be required before a demolition can begin. Dust Control Plans identify the dust sources and describe the dust control measures that will be implemented before, during, and after any dust generating activity for the duration of the project... Owners or operators are . required to submit plans to the District if, at anytime, the project involves: • Residential developments of ten or more acres of disturbed surface area. • Non-residential developments of five or more acres of disturbed surface area. • Relocating more than 2,500 cubic yards per day of materials on at least three days. Construction activities may not commence until the District has approved the Dust Control Plan. Notification by owners or operators of construction projects that are at least one acre in size and where a Dust Control Plan is not required, must provide written notification to the District at least 48 hours in.advance of any earthmoving activity. Record Keeping is required to document compliance with the rules and must be kept for each day any dust control measure is used. The District has developed record forms for water application, street sweeping, and "permanent' controls such as applying long term dust palliatives, vegetation,ground cover materials, paving, or other durable materials. Records must be kept for one year after the end of dust generating activities (Title V sources must keep records for five years):: Exemptions exist for several activities. Those occurring above 3,000 feet in elevation are exempt from all Regulation VIII requirements and Rule 8021 — Construction, Demolition; Excavation, Extraction, and Other Earthmoving Activities exempts the following construction and earthmoving activities: • Blasting activities permitted by California Division of Industrial Safety. • Maintenance or remodeling of existing buildings provided the addition is less than 50% of the size of the existing building or less than 10,000 square feet (due to asbestos concerns, contact the District at Least two weeks ahead of time). • Additions to single family dwellings. • The disking of weeds and vegetation for fire.prevention on sites smaller than'/ acre. Spreading of daily landfill cover to preserve public health and safety and to comply with California Integrated Waste Management Board requirements. Nuisances are.prohibited at all times because. District Rule 4102 Nuisance applies to all construction sources of fugitive dust, whether or not they are exempt from Regulation VIII. It is important to monitor dust- generating activities and implement appropriate dust control measures to limit the public's exposure to fugitive dust. For more information please contact the Compliance Division of the District office nearest to you.

The Fresno County Department of Community Health is concerned that abandoned water wells are not being properly destroyed, particularly with respect to new 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 1221 Fulton Mall/P.O.Box 11867/Fresno, California 93775/(559)445-3357/FAX(559)445-3379 Equal Employment Opportunity-Affirmative Action-Disabled Employer Dave Braun A-04-28/R-04-89 November 23, 2004 Page 2 of 2 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. 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. • 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 should require that all construction equipment be maintained according to the manufacturers' specifications, and that noise generating construction equipment be equipped with mufflers. In addition, consideration should be given to limiting noise- generating construction activities to daytime hours as specified in your municipal code.

The original traffic study was prepared for a 145-unit development. Current plans now call for a 128-unit development. Caltrans has the following comments: It is indicated in the revised Table 2 that 28 trips from this site would impact the State Route (SR) 180 interchange at Clovis Avenue and'18 trips would impact the SR 180 interchange at Fowler Avenue. Caltrans finds the trip generation and trip distribution in the traffic study to be satisfactory. We do not believe this project will have a significant impact to Siate 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. As cumulative impacts to these resources were not addressed in the General Plan Update Master EIR, the City should consider a mechanism for evaluating and mitigating for these impacts. The Freeway 180 extension has been delayed due to a lack of funds. This delay could mean that the extension.will not be construction until 201..2, possibly longer if there are additional funding shortfalls. Prior to the construction of the Freeway 180 interchange at Temperance, the City and the developer should be aware that local road movements at the intersection of Kings Canyon Road (currently State Route 180) and Temperance may begin to experience significant delay. Per the Fancher Creek DEIR, this intersection has met signal warrants_. The City should condition this project to pay pro rata fair share towards this signalization. Until signalization occurs, it is projected that movements would seek out alternative routes in order to avoid the State:Route 180.intersection at Temperance. The City should consider a transit altemative for this project: There is sufficient development in the area to. support transit, and early planning could make such an alternative feasible. Caltrans'recommends that this project`be Touted 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 a 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 "Caltrans improves mobility across California” Mr. Dave Braun May 10, 2005 Page 2 Commission.

Sincerely, MOSES STITES Office of Transportation Planning District b Enclosure C: Mr. John Rowland, P.E., Peters Engineering Group Ms. Barbara Goodwin, Council of Fresno County Governments "Caltrans improves mobility across California" ATTACHMENT NUMBER 1 CALTRANS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES: Ongoing development throughout the City of Fresno, including this project,will make traffic operations significantly worse by adding considerably to delay and congestion. Transit alternatives can help reduce congestion and delay and reduce overall degradation of air quality and gridlocked intersections. The City of Fresno should focus on ways to eliminate trips in addition to enhancing capacity. Transportation alternatives the City should consider include standard highway solutions along with the following: 1. Park and ride.facilities on site or within the proximity of this project. 2. A study of the general accommodation and provision of mass transit in this area to provide insight on ways of increasing transit.usage. 3. Exploring the potential of commuter shuttles. The shuttle could be financed through an assessment district and provide a way,for individuals to utilize a park_and-ride facility or commercial area parking lot and be shuttled to various commercial/office centers within the area. Commuters who need to go further could use City of Fresno transit if the City planned for convenient connections. This may help to reduce the Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) demand seeking to use the State Highway System. 4. Providing for continuity of non-motorized transportation. 5. Exploring the potential for employer-sponsored carpooWvanpools 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. 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. .
