The requested R-1-ALR-M/UGM (Single .Family ResidentiallResidential Modifying/Urban Growth NJanagement) and R-1/UGM (Single Family Residen iallUrban Growth Ml t?agement)`zone;`,districts'are:`considered-consistent with the low density and;medium-low density residential land use'designations, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed development with a density of 4:2 .dwelling units per,acre .demonstrates that the project sit e'will be., developed within.the overall`density of-d'elling units anticipated by the`2025 Fresno General:Plan aro Roosevelt Community,Plan. Roosevelt Community Plan Citizens' Advisory CommitteQ The'.Roosevelt Community .Plan Citizens' Advisory Committee reviewed the proposed rezone and ,tentative tract map applications at its•meeting on ,O.cto•ber 10, 2005. The Committee' unanimously recommended denial .of the'project. The Committee:recommended that the project density be reduced' and that additional open space be incorporated into the project. It is'noted'that the Droject design has been amended since it was reviewed by the Committee and the revised map does pz opose`two,`fewer lots than orig�rally proposed.. :Furthermore,, the, new:design , proposes,additional,open space In the southeasterly portion of the;pro ject' - Fresno City Planning Commission On November 16, 2005 the Fresno "City Planning Commission considered Rezone Application No: R-05-29 and after'a complete hearing took"action to recommend approval,of the rezone application to,the City Council by..a vote`of.5-0 It is noted that the Commission, by the same vote, also took'action to approve related Vesting Tentative Tract,No. 55 Jt It is:noted that a number of surrounding propNry owners'spoke `at the hearing and voiced concerns related to the project's .proposed access'to Minnnewawa'Avenue. , The neighbor's`were .gene;ally in favor of,the project design which does not permit access o MinneAiawa.Avenue ncrth,of the .Central Canal.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL Rezone Application No. R-05-29 December 13, 2005 Page 5 Water Resources and Public Water Supply The Water Division of the Department of Public Utilities has determined that there is an adequate source of water available to serve the project with the implementation of the UGM service delivery requirements and environmental impact mitigation measures. The nearest presently available water service line is located in Church Avenue at Minnewawa Avenue. The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that permanent flood control service is not available for this project. The developer will be required to construct temporary facilities until permanent facilities become available. 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, subject to the mitigation measures imposed with the environmental assessment. The nearest public sanitary sewer main to serve this project is located in West Church Avenue at South Minnewawa Avenue. Circulation Element Plan Policies and Major Street System Traffic Capacity The 2025 Fresno General Plan designates South Minnewawa Avenue as a scenic drive, which requires a 60-foot right-of-way width. The applicant will be required to dedicate and construct improvements on_ South Minnewawa Avenue. Improvements include the construction of curb, gutter, sidewalk/multi- purpose trail, and paving within the limits of the tract and construction of an underground street lighting system. These street improvements are outlined in more detail in the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5511/UGM Conditions of Approval dated November 16, 2005. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was prepared for the proposed project by Peters Engineering Group dated November 3, 2005. The proposed development of a 193-lot single family residential subdivision on the 45.85-acre project site can be expected to generate an average of 1,848 vehicle trips per day (VTD), which includes 145 a.m. and 195 p.m. peak hour trips. The traffic study analyzed the intersections of East Butler and South Peach Avenue, East Church and South Peach Avenue and South Peach and East Jensen Avenue as well as road segments on Peach Avenue between Jensen and Butler Avenues. in addition, the study analyzed the project's impact on the State Route 180 interchange with Peach Avenue, the State Route 99 interchange with Jensen Avenue and the State Route 41 interchange with Jensen Avenue. REPORT TO T•HE CITY COUNCIL Rezone Application No. R-05-25 December 13",,20105 Page,,6' An'important goal is,to maintain acceptable levels of service along the highway and street network: To accomplish this, local agencies' adopt minimum levels of service ``(LOS) in an:attempt to :control congestion,that may result as new development occurs. Caltrans' minimum LOS is C 'except where prohibitive,.according to information specffled in:Caltrans','A.Guide For Traffic. Impact Studies. The City of Fresno's minimum LOS design'standard is LOS D,: Traffic impacts are considered to occur whenever the LOS exceeds D on the.City street system, or C on the .State ;highway system The results of the study determined that the intersection ,o1. f Poach and 'Butler Avenue should be signalized with or without the proposed project. The Intersection of` Peach and Jensen Avenue is expected to require signalization with or without the proposed project: The of Peach and Church is operating at an acceptable level of service;at this time and is projected,to continue to operate at_an acceptable level of service in the year 2025, with the eventual signalization and wide niria cf the intersection to City standards. The Peach,Avenue road segments betweenJensen and Butler Avenues are expected to operate at acceptable levels of service Lwith,one,Iahe in each direction.after construction of the project. In the uture,,it,.is anticipated that Peach.Avenue, in this location, will require two lanes in each direction to achieve an acceptable.level of service. The proposed project as well as,other urban land uses developed as planned fay the 2025, Fresno General Plan'Will'.be.`required to construct the;planned •major street system .consistent with the%p bblic 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;lmpact Report (No. 10130) which was certified by the Council with the:adootion of,the 2025 Fresno General, Plan, will be required to Pay impact f es; specific to the "traffic, signalization of the major:street intersections: In order to alleviate'the impact of this project upon the City of Fresno's street system and to provide for a smooth flow of 'traffic to and from`the:project; the-property ownerldeveloperwill be required to dedicate a portion of•the subject sites for street purposes in accordance with adopted plans'and policies such as the Major Street and Highway Ran, the.Circulation Element of the General Plan, an`Official Plan Line,:a Director's Determination, or a focal street public impeovement standard as C�etermined by the Director. Each development must also construct a portion, of the planned major street system, including;off-site extensions as required by Urban Growth.,-Management Policies. - These and other street plans are:the product of careful planning that projects traffic capacity needs based on the densities and;ntensities of planned land uses anticipated at build-out of the planned area. These streets will provide adequate access to and recognize the traffic generating characteristics of individual properties and, at the same time,•afford the community an adequate and efficient circulation system. State'Department of Transportation (Caltrans) The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations had originally commented in their letter of. September 25 2005 that .development of the proposed residences,will result in-additional vehicle trips during the peak hour t�.affic periods which:will•im,pact.the State, Route (SR) 99 interchange at Jensen Avenue .and had indicated that the project should pay its proportionate share of the cost toward improvements to that interchange:`i-lowever,'based on the,results of the traffic study, Caltrans has acknowledged in the attached letter dated November 28, 2005'that the REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL Rezone Application No. R-05-29 December 13, 2005 Page 7 impacts from this project on the interchange will be minimal and therefore has withdrawn their request for traffic mitigation from this project. Subdivision Design,Streets and Access Points This subdivision is proposed to have one access point to South Minnewawa Avenue at the southeasterly corner of the subdivision and two local street connections to the proposed subdivision to the west of the subject property which ultimately connects to South Peach Avenue. The Public Works Department, Transportation Planning Section has reviewed the rezone application and tentative tract map. Public Works staff has determined that the streets adjacent to and near the subject site will be able to accommodate the quantity and kind of traffic generated, subject to the dedication and improvement of adjacent portions of South Minnewawa Avenue. It is noted that City staff has received numerous letters from property owners who reside within the County development to the east of the subject project, who are adamantly opposed to this project having access to Minnewawa Avenue, north of Fancher Creek. These residents feel that Minnewawa Avenue could not accommodate the additional traffic that would be generated from this project. It is staff's opinion that the design of the subdivision addresses the concerns of these neighbors. The design of the project, as proposed, would terminate Minnewawa Avenue from the north at East Pitt Avenue. -The developer is required to construct a bridge over Fancher Creek to allow access from this ( subdivision onto Minnewawa Avenue to the south allowing the residents of the subdivision to access Church Avenue. Only the seven lots which are proposed to front directly onto Minnewawa Avenue would be able to access northbound Minnewawa Avenue, north of East Pitt Avenue. LandscapingMfalls/Trails The applicant is required to dedicate 36-feet along the north property line to accommodate the required multi-purpose trail along the California Avenue alignment. In addition, the applicant will be required to install a solid wall at the rear of the required trail, which will mitigate the adverse effect of noise generated by the spur line of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad, which is directly north of the multi- purpose trail. The wall along the north property line shall be designed in accordance with the acoustical analysis prepared by Brown-Buntin Associates dated April 26, 2005, which addresses the noise impacts resulting from the railroad. There is also a planned multi-purpose trail along Minnewawa Avenue between the California Avenue alignment and Fancher Creek. This trail is intended to provide a connection between the above noted trail along the California Avenue alignment and the planned trail along the south side of Fancher Creek. The trail along Minnewawa Avenue will be constructed with this project along the west side of the street. Fire Service The proposed subdivision design would not allow for development on Lots 1-7 of the subdivision, since these lots are beyond 1,000 feet from a second access point. In order to allow development on these lots an emergency vehicle accessway is proposed that would connect northbound Minnewawa Avenue at Pitt Avenue with southbound Minnewawa Avenue, which ultimately connects to Church Avenue. Please note that this accessway is intended for emergency vehicles only.

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 District recommends a stub street to the west of Tract 5511. This is necessary to provide surface drainage from APN No. 481-020-30T to the proposed Master Plan inlets shown on Exhibit No.l. If the stub street is not constructed, then the Developer of Tract 5511 will be responsible for the non-fee creditable cost of a pipe extension to the east property line of APN No. 481-020-30T. The alignment of the extension must be reviewed and approved by the District prior to implementation. The construction requirements shown in Exhibit No. 1 will provide permanent drainage service only for the development within Drainage Area `BE" provided the down stream facilities located in Florence Avenue are completed by Tract 5235. If the facilities are not completed the District will recommend temporary facilities for the development in Drainage Area `BE" until permanent service is available. The District recommends temporary facilities until permanent service is available for that portion within Drainage Area "BG". The District is currently studying the feasibility of construction of the remaining downstream facilities that would provide permanent drainage service the to `BG" portion of the tract. The developer should contact the District for the,status of the project prior to construction of temporary ponding facilities. The Developer is required to provide storage in Basin `BE" by excavating 10,500 cubic yards as directed by the District in an excavation permit obtained from the District. 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.

Subject: T-5511, R-05-29 (APN: 481-020-575) C! 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 and PM2.5). Preliminary analysis indicates this project alone would not contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to increased traffic and ongoing operational emissions. However, the increase in emissions from this project, and others like it, cumulatively reduce the air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. When analyzing the effects of emissions from this project, surrounding development must be taken into consideration. This development falls within the District's SPAL guidelines (refer to the District's GAMAOI Small Project Analysis Level tables on pages 38—40). The applicant listed adjoining land use, south and west of the proposed project, as Tract No. 5235. Tract No. 5235 has a proposed land use of single-family residential, 240 units, and multi-family residential, 176 units. When the emissions from the current project are combined with the emissions from the development of Tract No. 5235, the emissions may exceed SPAL guidelines. The SPAL can be found online at http://www.valleyair.org/transportation/cepa%20ruies/gamagi%20ian%202002%20rev.odf. A traffic impact study is recommended, if not previously done. 0 _ 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. This project may be subject to additional District Rules. To identify additional rules or regulations that apply to this project, or for further information, the applicant is strongly encouraged to contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at (559) 230-5888. Current District rules can be found at http://www.valleyair.orci/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, demolition, bulk materials .storage, landfill operations, etc. If a residential project is 10.0 or more acres in area or will include moving, depositing, or relocating more than 2,500 cubic yards per day of bulk materials on at least three days, a Dust Control Plan must be submitted as specified in Section 6.3.1 of Rule 8021. A template of the District's Dust Control Plan is available at: http://www.vallevair.org/busind/comply/PM10/forms/DCP-Form%20-%2010-14-2004.pdf. Also, the District's compliance assistance bulletin for . construction sites can be found at: http//www.valleyair.org/busind/comply/PM10/Reg%20VII1%20CAB.pdf. Mr. Braun September29,2005 T-5511, R-05-29 Page 2 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. Brian Dodds of this office at (559) 230- 5962, or contact CAL-OSHA at(559) 454-1295. Rule 4101 (Visible Emissions) This rule prohibits emissions of visible air contaminants to the atmosphere and applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants. The applicant must contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at (559) 230-5888 to receive additional information or instructions. Rule 4102 (Nuisance) applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants or other nnaterials. In the eyant that the project or construction of the prcjact.creutes a public nu since, it could be in violation and be subject to District enforcement action. Rule 4103 (Open Burning) regulates the use of open burning and specifies the types of materials which may be open burned.

Mr. Braun September 29,2005 T-5511, R-05-29 Page 3 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 suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options that land-use authority should consider: • Trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building(s) from energy consuming environmental conditions and to shade paved areas. Trees should be selected to shade paved areas that will shade 50% of the area within 15 years. Structural soil should be used under paved areas to improve tree growth. - For Structural Soil see http://www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/. - For Tree Selection see http://www.ufei.org . - For Urban Forestry see http://www.lgc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/siv tree guidelines.pdf, http://www.coolcommunities.org and http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu • 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. Direct pedestrian access to the main entrance of the project from existing or potential public transit stops and provide appropriately designed sidewalks. Such access should consist of paved walkways or ramps and should be physically separated from parking areas and vehicle access routes. • Sidewalks and bikeways should be installed throughout as much of the project as possible and should be connected to any nearby existing and planned open space areas, parks, schools, residential areas, commercial areas, etc., to encourage walking and bicycling. 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 and 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 and 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.). Clearly marked and highly visible pedestrian accesses create a safer environment for both pedestrians and vehicles. • As many energy conserving and emission reducing features as possible should be included in 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 Titie 24 Requirements). For more information see http://www.energy.ca.clov/title24/ - Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E) - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at http://www.agmd.gov/r)rdas/brochures/r)aintguide.html - High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. For more information see http://eetd.Ib1.gov/cooIroof/ - Cool Paving. "Heat islands" created by this and similar projects contribute to the reduced air quality in the valley by heating ozone precursors.

This could include such provisions as encouraging employees to rideshare or carpool to the project site through preferential parking spaces for employees who participate in carpooling or vanpooling, incorporating a compressed workweek schedule, guaranteed ride home, carpool matching programs, shower/changing facilities, providing free transit passes, providing an alternative-transit information center, and having a dedicated employee transportation coordinator. Check out the "Spare the Air' section of our website www.vallevair.org • The applicant should implement measures to reduce the amount of vehicle traffic to and from the residential area(s) 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.vallevair.org • The District encourages the applicant and fleet operators using the facility to take advantage of the District's Heavy-Duty Engine program to reduce project emissions. The Heavy Duty program provides incentives for the replacement of older diesel engines with new, cleaner, fuel-efficient diesel engines. The program also provides incentives for the re-power of older, heavy-duty trucks with cleaner diesel engines or alternative fuel engines. New alternative fuel heavy-duty trucks also qualify. For more information regarding this program contact the District at (559) 230-5858 or visit our website at http://www.valleyair.org/transportation/heavvdutyidx.htm. • Enhanced construction activity mitigation measures include: - Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways from sites with a slope greater than one percent - Limit area subject to excavation, grading, and other construction activity at any one time - 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) - Require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use on the premises to reduce emissions from idling. The applicant should install equipment that provides amenities that would otherwise be powered by idling engines. An example of such technology includes IdleAire. See htti)://www.idleaire-com/. Mr. Braun September 29, 2005 T-5511, R-05-29 Page 5 — 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 (May through October), lengthen the construction period to minimize the number of vehicles and equipment operating at the same time. — 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. — Diesel equipment should use verified alternative diesel fuel blends or Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has verified specific alternative diesel fuel blends for NOx and PM emission reduction. Only fuels that have been certified by CARB should be used. For more information on alternative diesel blends, please call Mr. Chris Acree, Senior Air Quality Specialist, at (559) 230-5829. Information on biodiesel can also be found on CARB's website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/diesel/altdiesel/altdiesel.htm and the EPA's website http://www.epa.gov/oms/models/biodsl.htm. — Construction equipment should have engines that meet the current off-road engine emission standard (as certified by the CARB), or be re-powered with an engine that meets this standard. Tier I and Tier II engines have significantly less NOx and PM emissions compared to uncontrolled engines. ' To find engines certified by the CARB, see their website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/offroad/cert/cert.php. This site lists engines by type, then manufacturer.

Concurrence should be obtained from the State Department of Health Services, Division of Drinking Water and Environmental Management (DDWEM). For more information call (559) 447-3300. • 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 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 conditions as described in the "Conclusions" section on pages five (5) and six (6) of the Acoustical Analysis should be accepted as mitigation measures for the project. Without these measures the proposed noise sensitive receivers will be Dave Braun T-5511/R-05-29 October 10, 2005 Page 3 subjected to a level of noise in excess of the City of Fresno Noise Element standards. • Although not specified in the "Conclusions and Recommendations" section, the Acoustical Analysis clearly indicates that the recommended sound wall will not mitigate noise impacts for two-story homes adjacent to the railroad. It is recommended that two-story homes not be built on lots adjacent to the railroad. If two-story house are proposed for these lots, a detailed acoustical analysis should be required.

Caltrans has the following comments: Trips from this development will likely impact the State Route (SR) 180 interchange at Peach Avenue and the SR 99 interchange at Jensen Avenue. The SR 180 interchange at Peach Avenue is still under construction. It has been designed to accommodate projected demand for the next twenty years, so this project's impacts will likely be negligible. However, when combined with other development in the area, this project's impacts to the transportation/circulation system and to air quality will be cumulatively significant. Cumulative impacts to these resources were not fully addressed in the General Plan Update Master EIR,but postponed to future studies. The Master EIR did not perform any analysis of the impacts to State facilities from implementation of the General Plan, and hence cannot be relied upon to support subsequent projects that impact State Highways. The City should consider a mechanism for evaluating and mitigating for these impacts. The TIS did not provide a select zone trace of the project's trips to the SR 99 interchange at Jensen Avenue. Based on past traffic studies, we calculate that 5 trips generated from this development would impact the northbound off-ramp to Jensen Avenue. Based on the estimated cost for an interim improvement project to add an additional ramp lane at this interchange ($265,900), it is estimated that this development's proportional fair share to mitigate for cumulatively significant project-specific impacts to the SR 99 interchange at Jensen Avenue is: 5,trips,X$527/trip =$2,635. If the developer does not concur with this estimate, we recommend that the traffic consultant conduct the select zone trace of the project's trips to the SR 99 interchange at Jensen Avenue to determine the project's impacts and appropriate mitigation. "Caltrans improves mobility across California" Mr. Dave Braun September 28, 2005 Page 2 The City should consider a transit alternative for this project. The project is small, but when combined with other residential projects in the area, there is sufficient development to support transit. Early planning could make such an alternative feasible. Caltrans recommends that this project be routed to Fresno Area Express (FAX) staff for their review and comment. Please see Attachment Number 1 for other recommended transportation alternatives. We request that this letter be made a part of the permanent public record for this project and that a copy of our letter be included in the staff reports for both the City Council and the Planning Commission. This will provide the decision-making body and the general public with a complete and accurate environmental evaluation for the project. If you have any questions, please call me at (559) 445-6666.

FID's Central No. 23 canal traverses the subject property as shown on the enclosed map. FID's policy requires most open canals to be contained in a pipeline, but some canals are too large to feasibly pipe and will remain as an open canal. If this canal is to remain as an open channel, FID requires that, within the limits of the proposed project [and its remainder], the landowner/developer grant fee title for the land underlying the canal and associated area along the canal required for maintenance pursuant to Water Code Section 22438(a) and FID policy. FID's District Canal Right of Way Requirements sheet is enclosed for your reference. Submit the proposed grant deed, with an exhibit stamped by a registered civil engineer or land surveyor, to FID for review prior to executing the conveyance. 2. FID requires the applicant concrete line, encase in box culvert or other approved means to protect canal integrity, the Central Canal across the proposed development in accordance with FID standards, and that the applicant enter into an agreement with FID for that purpose. The applicant will need to meet with FID to determine the canal alignment and required canal dimensions. 3. FID's Braly No. 14 pipeline traverses the subject property in an exclusive easement recorded on September 19, 1980, as Document No. 90294, in Book 7588 Page 439, Official Records of Fresno County. 4. FID requires the applicant submit a grading and drainage plan for FID approval which shows that the proposed development will not endanger the structural integrity of the canal/pipeline, or result in drainage patterns that will adversely affect FID or the applicant.

FID requires its easement be shown on the map with proper recording information, and that FID be made a party to signing all plans which affect its easement and canal/pipeline facility and also be made party to signing the final map. 6. FID does not allow its easements to be in common use with public utility easements but will allow its easement to be in common use with landscape easements. FID recommends all block walls and fences be located outside of its easement. 7. FID requires all trail improvements and easements for trail purposes be located outside FID's easement and that no portion of said easements shall be in common use. 8. FID requests the applicant be exempted from any condition that would require the construction of public facilities or conveyance of deeds or easements within FID's canal easement to any other party without FID's written consent. 9. FID will require a Common Use of Easements Agreement between FID and the City of Fresno for all Landscape easements which overlap FID's easement. 10. FID requires the applicant enter into an Encroachment Agreement with FID for all permanent improvements placed on or constructed within FID's easement. 11. FID may have additional comments regarding the subject proposal and suggests the applicant and or the applicants engineer contact FID at their earliest convenience.

Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5511/UGM proposes to subdivide the subject property into a 193 lot (plus five outlots) single family residential subdivision to be developed at a density of 4.2 dwelling units per acre. The property is within the jurisdictions of the Roosevelt Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan. Both plans designate the property for low density residential (0-2.18 units per acre) and medium low .density residential planned land uses (2.19 to 4.98 units per acre). The subject site is currently vacant and is predominantly surrounded by single family residential and rural residential properties. Conformance to Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR NO. 10130): As previously indicated, the recently adopted 2025 Fresno General Plan designates the subject parcel for low and medium low density residential planned land uses. The requested R-1/UGM and R-1-A/R-M/UGM zone districts conform to the medium low density and low density residential land use designations, respectively, as indicated by the 2025 Fresno General Plan. - The Planning and Development Department staff has prepared an initial study and environmental checklist and evaluated the requested rezoning in accordance with the land use and environmental policies and provisions of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the related Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR) No. 10130. The subject property is proposed to be developed with single-family residential uses at an intensity and scale that is permitted by the planned land use and proposed zoning designations for the site. Thus, the rezoning will not facilitate an additional intensification of uses beyond that which already exists or would be allowed by the above-noted planned land use designation. Moreover, it is not expected that the existing and future development, per the requested rezoning, will adversely impact existing city service systems or the traffic circulation system that serves the subject parcels. These infrastructure findings have been verified by the Public Works and Public Utilities Departments. It has been further determined that all applicable mitigation measures of MEIR No. 10130 have been applied to the project necessary to assure that the project will not cause significant adverse cumulative impacts, growth inducing impacts, and irreversible significant effects beyond those identified by MEIR No. 10130 as provided by CEQA Section 15178(a). E20051000054"*�' Finding of Conformity Under M . No. 10130 Environmental Assessment No. R-05-29/T-5511/UGM Page 2 Per Section 21157.1 of the California Public Resources Code (California Environmental Quality Act), it may be determined that a subsequent project falls within the scope of a MEIR, provided that the project does not cause significant impacts on the environment that were not previously examined by the MEIR. Relative to this specific project proposal, the environmental impacts noted in the MEIR, per the 2025 Fresno General Plan land use designations, include impacts associated with the low and medium low density residential land use designations specified for the subject parcel. Based on this initial study, the project does not change the land use indicated for the subject parcels and will not generate additional significant effects not previously identified by the MEIR and no new additional mitigation measures are required. Therefore, the project proposal is within the scope of the MEIR as defined by Section 15177 of the CEQA Guidelines. Moreover, as lead agency for this project, the Planning and Development Department, per Section 15177 (d) of the CEQA Guidelines, has determined that all feasible mitigation measures from MEIR No. 10130 shall apply to the project proposal as noted in the attached mitigation monitoring checklist. Public notice has been provided regarding staff=s finding in a manner prescribed by this section of the Guidelines and by Section 21092 of the California Public Resources Code (CEQA provisions).
