BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Bullard Community Plan designates low density residential land uses for the property. The Plan shows low density residential land uses planned for the property to the south, east and west. The plan shows open space land uses planned for the property to.the north. The applicant proposes to subdivide the site into 32 single-family residential lots with Tentative Tract No. 4969 and to construct a single-family residence on each lot. Rezoning Application No. R-00-036 proposes to rezone the east 947 feet of the 19.4 acre subdivision site from the R-1-EH/BP/UGM to the R-1-A/BP/UGM and the R-1-A/UGM zone districts to permit the development of the 29 of the 32 single-family residential lots. The proposed lots fronting on the North Van Ness Boulevard will retain the exsting R-1-EH/BP/UGM zoning.The Van Ness-Forkner Land Use Policy of the Bullard Community Plan requires minimum lot frontages of 150 feet and minimum lot areas of 3 7,5 00 square feet for all of the lots in the subdivision which front onto.North Van Ness Boulevard. The plan policy also requires that the remaining lots have minimum areas of 20,000 square feet. All of the lots in the subdivision equal or exceed these minimum lot size requirements. The lots shall also meet the minimum lot dimension of the their respective zone distircts. The proposed density yield of this single-family subdivision(1.6 units per acre) is within the expected density yield for a R-1-E and R-1-A zoned project. The Bullard Advisory Committee has reviewed the proposed tentative map, rezoning request and conditional use permit and is recommending approval of the project. Based upon the information contained in the staff report,the proposed rezoning of the subdivision to the R-1-A/BP/UGM and the R-1-A/UGM zone districts, is considered consistent and compatible with the existing and planned land uses in the area. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION At its regular meeting of January 3, 2001,the Planning Commission by a vote of 5-0, with two absent, took action to recommend approval of Rezoning Application No. R-00-036 and by the same vote approved Tentative Tract No. 4959/UGM. One person spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning application and tentative subdivision map. REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL Rezoning Application No. R-00-036 Page 3 January 23, 2001 RECOMMENDATION Based upon the information contained in the staff report, staff recommends the Council take the following action: 1. APPROVE the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No. T-4959, R-00-036, C-00-218. 2.

This completed checklist reflects comments of any applicable responsible agencies and research and analysis conducted to examine the interrelationship between the proposed project and the physical environment. The information contained in the Environmental Assessment Application, the checklist, and any attachments to the checklist, combine to form a record indicating that an initial study has. been completed in compliance with the State CEQA Guidelines and the California Environmental Quality Act. Any rating of "2" on the checklist indicates that a specific adverse environmental effect has been identified in a category which is of sufficient magnitude to be of concern. Such an effect may be inherent in the nature and magnitude of the project or may be related to the design and characteristics of the individual project. Effects rated in this manner are not sufficient in themselves to require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and/or have been mitigated to the extent feasible. All new development activity and many non-physical projects contribute directly or indirectly toward a cumulative impact onrthe physical environment. The incremental effect contributed by this.project toward . such a cumulative effect is not considered substantial in itself. The proposed project is not expected to-result in any significant adverse effects in terms of the factors considered on the environmental checklist, including any such factors for which minor effects have been identified. Cumulative effects of a significant nature are also not expected. The proposed project will not result in any adverse effects which fall within the "Mandatory Findings of Significance" contained in Section 15065 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The finding is therefore made that the proposed project will clearly not have a significant adverse effect on the environment. This Mitigated Negative Declaration will be deemed final and effective.if no appeal is filed in the manner- specified by Section 12-505 of the Fresno Municipal Code.

The 'BP".zone district applies to an area extending 300 feet southerly from the toe of the bluff and is identified as an area of special quality by reason of the topography, geologic substratum and environment of the area. Development within the BP zone district, which is on the San Joaquin River Bluffs, shall be a minimum of 30 feet from the bluff edge as stated in the Bullard Initial Study TT-4959, RZ-00-36, CUP-00-218 Page 3 December 15, 2000 Community Plan. The conditions of approval of Tentative Tract No. 4959 will insure that development of this site will be in conformance with the-"BP zone district standards applicable to this site. 2.0—AIR.QUALITY The proposed project will cumulatively contribute to the-incremental-decline in local air quality. However, the project's air quality impact in and.of itself is not considered significant. The project site is located in Fresno County which,--in addition to the rest of the San Joaquin Valley, has consistently exceeded State and Federal ozone and PM-10 standards. It is a nonattainment area for ozone and particulate matter and, within the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area, a nonattainment area for.carbon monoxide. Therefore, it is necessary for all projects to analyze,-quantify and mitigate short term construction impacts on air quality. It is required that watering of the project site occur at least twice daily with complete coverage during the clearing, grading and earth moving phases of the project to cut down substantially on PM-10 emissions. To mitigate fugitive dust emissions during project construction, the following measures are required: 1. On-site vehicle speed shall be limited to 15 mph; 2. All areas with vehicle traffic shall be watered periodically; 3. Roads shall be treated with a petroleum-based dust palliative; 4. Streets adjacent to the project site:shall be swept:as needed to remove silt, which may have accumulated from construction activities so as to prevent excessive amounts of dust. Ozone emissions will be mitigated during construction by the following measures: 1. Equipment engines shall be maintained in good condition and proper tune per manufacturer's specifications; 2. From August to October, the construction period shall be lengthened so as to minimize the number of vehicles and equipment operating at the same time. Initial Study TT-4959, RZ-00-36, CUP-00-218 Page 4 December 15, 2000 The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution.Control.District (SJVUAPCD),..charged with monitoring and improving local air quality,has developed the San Joaquin Valley .. 1991 California Clean Air Act Air Quality Attainment Plan (AQAP), which continues to project nonattainment for the three above-noted pollutants. The-plan includes a number of strategies to improve air quality including a transportation control strategy and a vehicle inspection program.

However, these impacts are local.in nature.and will cease upon completion of the project. The construction phase of the project-will-be subject to•the San Joaquin.Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District(SJVUAPCD)Regulation VIII, Rule 8020, related to control of dust and fine particulate matter(PM10). This rule mandates the.implementation of dust control measure&such as-cleaning, sprinkling and sweeping of all construction sites to reduce the:potential for dust to the lowest possible level. 3.0--WATER The Water Division of the Public Works Department states that the development will-not have an adverse impact on the city water system. 4.0--PLANT LIFE 5.0--ANIMAL LIFE 4 1—Reduction of the Number of Any Unique Rare or Endangered Plant Species 5.1—Reduction of the Number of AU Unique; Rare, or Endangered Animal Species 5.2—Deterioration or Displacement of Valuable Wildlife Habitat Initial Study TT-4959, RZ-00-36, CUP-00-218 Page 5 December 15, 2000 The northerly portion of Tentative Tract No. 4959, abuts the San Joaquin.River Bluff area. :While.it appears that no unique, rare, or endangered plan or animal species inhabit the project site,.the area below the bluff between this site and the river is rural residential and a golf course. These open space areas will provide adequate open space for wildlife habitat. 9.0--LAND USE Development of.this site-will-be.conditions..on.compliance-with-the-Bullard-Community Plan and its policies related to the Van Ness Boulevard Scenic Drive which will require that lots fronting onto North VanNess Boulevard shall°have lotfrontages of.150-feet and lot areas of37,500 square feet. Thesemaining lots.shall have minimum areas of 20,000 square feet. 10.0--TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION The 32-lot single-family residential planned development subdivision is expected to generate approximately 320 vehicle trips per day(V.T.D.). North Van Ness Boulevard, a -(a scenic drive); has an-ultimate capacity of-18,000.V.T.D.-Although those-streets-have not reached=capacity to date,Ahe-level of:expected development in the area could will not create deficiencies in the future. 11.0--URBAN SERVICES 11.4—Overcrowding of school facilities The subject site is within the enrollment area of the-Clovis Unified School District. Because of the rapid growth occurring within the district boundaries, the school district has advised that the following conditions may exist when development occurs: a. The elementary school may not have capacity for students from the area and, therefore, students may be bused to other elementary schools within the District, or it may result in the adjustment of school attendance areas within the District, requiring students to attend another school; Initial Study TT-4959, RZ-00-36, CUP-00-218 Page 6 December 15, 2000 b. .The students may attend more.than.one elementaryy school during their elementary school years; c. The students may have to attend elementary,junior high and high schools-that are on double session, extended day, or year-round schedules, or students may attend new facilities when they are constructed.
