EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Subdivider, Pleasant Valley Investments, LC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company, (Chris Williams,
Authorized Agent), has filed for approval, the Final Map of Tract No. 5815, Phase 1 of Vesting Tentative Map
No. 5447 for a 99-lot single-family residential planned development subdivision located on the northwest
corner of North Locan Avenue and East Shields Avenue on 19.38 acres.
The Final Map is technically correct and conforms to the approved Vesting Tentative Map No. 5447 dated
February 22, 2006 and approved revisions thereto ("Tentative Map"), the Subdivision Map Act and the Fresno
Municipal Code. The Subdivider has signed the subdivision agreement and covenants and has posted all
required performance securities, insurance certificates and paid all fees now due to satisfy the conditions of
approval of the Tentative Map. The City Attorney's Office has approved all documents as to form and the Risk
Management Division has approved all security bonds and insurance certificates. The provisions of Section
66474.1 of the Subdivision Map Act require a final map that is in substantial compliance with the approved
tentative map to be approved by the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The Fresno City Planning Commission on February 22, 2006 adopted Resolution No. 12414 approving Vesting
Tentative Map No. 5447 (Tentative Map) for a 194-lot single-family residential planned development
subdivision on 34.93 net acres at an overall density of 5.6 units per acre. The Fresno City Planning
Commission on February 22, 2006 adopted Resolution No. 12415 approving Conditional Use Permit
Application No. C-05-43 for a planned development with reduced lot sizes. The Development and Resource
Management Department on June 6, 2012 approved a revision to Vesting Tentative Map No. 5447 and
Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-05-43 reducing the number of lots from 194 to 174. Attached is the
Fresno City Planning Commission report which provides the project details, staff analysis, environmental
findings and consistency findings for Vesting Tentative Map No. 5447 with the 2025 General Plan and the
McLane Community Plan to comply with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act. The approval of Vesting
Tentative Map No. 5447 will expire on February 22, 2016.
The Final Map has been reviewed and deemed to be technically correct. The Subdivider has satisfied all other
conditions of approval by executing the Subdivision Agreement for Tract No. 5815, submitted securities in the
total amount of $2,031,000 to guarantee the completion and acceptance of the public improvements and
$1,015,500 for a payment security and has paid the miscellaneous and development impact fees due as a
condition of approval for the Final Map in the amount of $483,262.20. Covenants have been executed to defer
eligible development impact fees totaling $267,765.63 to the time of issuance of building permit and final
occupancy of each unit, for annual CFD-11 assessment notification, and for special solid waste disposal
services, for deferring payment of the Fowler interim fee surety to the time of occupancy and for
acknowledging right to farm law.
MAINTENANCE DISTRICT: A condition of approval of the Tentative Map is to maintain the landscaping and
irrigation systems within street and landscaping easements and outlots, concrete curbs and gutters, valley
gutters, entrance median curbs, median island and entrance street stamped concrete, sidewalks, curb ramps,
street lighting, interior street paving and street name signage within and adjacent to the Final Map in
accordance with the adopted standards of the City. The Subdivider has satisfied the maintenance requirement
by annexing the subdivision into the City's Community Facility District No. 11 (CFD-11) on November 8, 2012.
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Adopt Resolution Approving Final Map of Tract No. 5815
February 28, 2013
Page 3
The Subdivider has executed the covenant for Maintenance of Certain Improvements and as a condition of the
Subdivision Agreement, is required to provide every prospective purchaser of each lot of the subdivision the
"Notice of Special Tax", in accordance with the provision of Section 53341.5 of the California Government
Code. The maximum annual assessment is $710.67 per lot with an annual 3% adjustment plus the increase, if
any, in the construction cost index for the San Francisco Region.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no impact to the City's General Fund. Affirmative action by the Council will result in timely
deliverance of the review and processing of the Final Map as is reasonably expected by the Subdivider.
Prudent financial management is demonstrated by the expeditious completion of this Final Map inasmuch as
the Subdivider has paid the city a fee for the processing of this Final Map and that fee is, in turn, funding the
respective operations of the Public Works Department.

cause significant adverse cumulative impacts, growth inducing impacts and irreversible significant
effects beyond those identified by MSIR No. 10130 as provided by CEQA Section 15178(a). Therefore,
staff has issued a finding that the project proposal is in conformance to the 2025 Fresno General Pian
Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR No. 10130) dated January 11, 2006, which incorporates a
MEIR Mitigation Monitoring Checklist. This environmental finding was properly published on January
12, 2006, with no comments received.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
The applicant, Woodside Homes, has fled Rezone Application No. R-05-06, Conditional Use Permit
Application No. C-05-43 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5447JUGM for approximately 34.93 (net)
acres of property located on the north side of East Shields Avenue between North Temperance and
North Locan Avenues . The rezone application proposes to reclassify the subject property from the R-
AlUGM (Single Family Residential - AgriculturaUUrban Growth Management) zone district to the R-
11UGM (Single Family ResidentiallUrban Growth Management) zone district. Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 54471UGM proposes to subdivide the 34.93-acre site into a 199-int single family residential
planned development subdivision at an overall density of 5.7 dwelling units per acre. Conditional Use
Permit Application No. C-05-43 proposes to allow for the development of the subdivision as a planned
development with modified building setbacks and lot sizes.
On November 19, 2002, the City Council, through Resolution No. 2002-379, adopted the 2025 Fresno
General Plan which also adopted the McLane Community Plan. The McLane Community Plan
designates the subject property for medium (4.99-10.37 dwelling units per acre) density residential land
uses. The applicant wishes to pursue development of the subject property with 199 single family
homes. The requested R-11UGM (Single Family ResidentiaUUrban Growth Management) zone district
is considered consistent with the medium density residential land use designation. Furthermore, the
proposed development with a density of 5.7 dwelling units per acre demonstrates that the project site
will be developed within the overall density of dwelling units anticipated by the 2025 Fresno General
Plan and McLane Community Plan.
Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-05-43
Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-04-43 was filed in conjunction with Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 5447 to allow the subdivision to be developed as a 199-lot planned development with public
streets. The lots range in size from 4,250 to over 12,000 square feet with the majority of the lots being
between 5,000 and 7,000 square feet. The conditional use permit provides for the modification of the
rear and front yard setback standards of the R-1 zone district and the establishment of site and building
design criteria.
The R-1 zone district development standards, Fresno Municipal Code (FMC), Section 12-211, specify a
minimum lot area requirement of 6,000 square feet. The district standards also specify a minimum front
yard of 20 feet, a rear yard of 20 feet and a side yard of 5 feet. However, the planned development
conditional use permit provisions of FMC Section 12-306-N-21 allow for the modification of these
standards with the approval of a unified design and development plan. This special permit application
proposes to modify the development standards to allow for a minimum front yard of 15 feet and rear
yard of 15 feet. The lots will all maintain a minimum five foot side yard on both sides of the unit. All lots
are proposed to maintain the maximum building height requirements of the R-1 zone district.

The planned development helps meet several of the goals of the 2025 Fresno General Plan. One of
these goals, Goal Number 5 of the 2025 Fresno General Plan indicates that the city supports the
"Landscape of Choice-Principles and Strategies" as defined in Appendix A. Appendix A of the 2025
Fresno General Plan provides guiding principles for the Land Use Element of the 2025 Fresno General
Plan by promoting development that utilizes urban land use as efficiently as possible. One such
objective, Land Use/Residential Objecbve C-10, is aimed at "Promoting the development of more
compact, pedestrian friendly, single-family residential projects to aid in the conservation of resources
such as land, energy, and material." Since this project allows for the development of more compact
single-family residences, it will help to accomplish this objective. In short, the proposed project is
different from conventional subdivisions given that it provides shared open space and smaller lot sizes
leading to a unique sense of community that is not commonly found in conventional single family
developments.
Staff supports this proposed planned development subject to the project providing common open space,
a pedestrian accessway to North Temperance Avenue, enhanced landscaping/surface materials/fencing
treatments at the major street entryways and traffic calming measures on internal local streets.
Subdivision Design/Streets and Access Points
This subdivision is proposed to have two access points to East Shields Avenue and one access point to
North Locan Avenue. The subdivision also proposes a street connection to the approved subdivision to
the north (Tentative Tract No_ 5237). The Public Works Department, Transportation Planning Section
has reviewed the rezone application, conditional use permit 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
East Shields, North Locan and North Temperance Avenues to their ultimate planned width.
Landscaping/Open SpacefWalls
Given that the proposed subdivision abuts planned collector and arterial streets, the developer will be
required to install 15 feet of landscaping along East Shields (arterial) and North Locan Avenues
(collector). In addition, the applicant will be required to install a solid wall at the rear of the required
landscape setback, which will mitigate the adverse effect of noise generated by vehicles traveling on the
adjacent major streets.
The proposed subdivision abuts a planned expressway street (Temperance Avenue). In order to meet
the Expressway Area (EA) zone district standards, the developer is required to install 26 feet of
landscaping along North Temperance Avenue. It is noted that there is a requirement for a pedestrian
accessway from the subdivision to Temperance Avenue to allow for pedestrian access from the
subdivision to the multi-purpose trail on the west side of North Temperance Avenue.
In addition, the applicant will be required to install a solid wall at the rear of the required landscape
setback, which will mitigate the adverse effect of noise generated by vehicles traveling on the adjacent
major street. The wall along Temperance and Shields Avenues shall be designed in accordance with
the acoustical analysis prepared by Brown-Buntin Associates dated February 1, 2005, which addresses
the noise impacts resulting from vehicle traffic on Temperance and Shields Avenues in this area.
Staff is also requiring the project to provide additional landscaping and wrap-around walls at the entry
points of the subdivision from the adjacent major streets, improving the visual image. Furthermore, the

project will be required to incorporate a walkway of a minimum of 23 feet which will connect this
subdivision with North Temperance Avenue thus allowing residents living in the subdivision to access
the multi-purpose trail on the west side of North Temperance Avenue and the future park site on the
southeast comer of North Temperance and East Shields Avenues. The pedestrian walkway will help
meet several of the goals of the 2025 Fresno General Plan, including Goal No. 10 which states that we
(i.e. the City along with developers) "provide quality open space, park and recreational facilities..." and
also Policy F-3-i which states that "the location of park and recreation sites should be central and
accessible to the population served, while preserving the integrity of the surrounding neighborhood."
McLane Community Plan
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the McLane Community Plan, The Central
Eastern Implementation Committee recently formed a committee for the McLane Community Pian area,
however it was formed after the date of acceptance of the map.
Public Services
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 Shields Avenue at Armstrong Avenue.
The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that permanent flood control
service is available for this project upon construction of required facilities.
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 assessmentlinibal 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
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.
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. Reybum 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 2025 Fresno General Plan designates North Locan Avenue as a collector street, with an 84-foot
right-of-way width and East Shields Avenue as an arterial street, with a 110-foot right-of-way width and
North Temperance Avenue as an expressway street, which typically requires a minimum 124-foot right-
of-way. The applicant will be required to dedicate and construct improvements on East Shields, North
Locan and North Temperance Avenues. Other improvements include the construction of curb, gutter,
sidewalk, and transition paving within the limits of the tract; construction of an underground street
lighting system; and relinquishment of access rights to North Temperance, North Locan and East
Shields Avenues for all residential lots adjacent to these major street frontages. These street
improvements are outlined in more detail in the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5447IUGM Conditions
of Approval dated February 22, 2006.
A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was prepared for the proposed project by Peters Engineering Group dated
November 16, 2004. The traffic study analyzed a 240-lot single family residential planned development
subdivision on the 34.93-acre project site which was the project proposed on the subject property at that
time. That project was expected to generate an average of 2,328 vehicle trips per day (VTO), which
includes 182 a.m. and 243 p.m. peak hour trips.
The traffic study analyzed the intersections of East Dakota and North Temperance Avenues, East
Shields and North Armstrong Avenues, East Clinton and North Temperance Avenues, East McKinley
and North Temperance Avenues and East Shields and North Temperance Avenues. In addition, the
study analyzed the project's impact on the State Route 180 Interchanges with Chestnut Avenue and
Fowler Avenue and the State Route 168 Interchange with McKinley Avenue.

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 specked 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 all intersections that were analyzed are operating at acceptable
levels of service at this time, with the exception of the westbound approach to the intersection of Shields
and Temperance Avenues which is currently operating at a LOS E during the a.m. peak hour. In
addition, the study projected that all intersections and road segments will continue to operate at an
acceptable level of service in the year 2025, with the eventual signalization and widening of the
intersections to City standards. This assumption is based on the recommendation that all studied
intersections along Temperance Avenue be designed with dual left tum lanes on each approach. The
study also required the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Shields and Temperance
Avenues.
Because the immediately surrounding properties are 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) certified by the Council with the adoption of the 2025
Fresno General Plait, will be required to pay impact fees specific to the traffic signalization of the major
street intersections.
State Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations
has commented that the project is not expected to create significant impacts to the State Highway
System.
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 2025 Fresno
General Plan and the McLane Community Plan designates the site for medium density residential

land uses and the project design meets the density and zoning ordinance criteria for development
in these plan designations.
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.
The subdivision map, subject to the recommended conditions of approval, complies with the design and
property development standards of the Zoning Ordinance and local Subdivision Ordinance.
Based upon the plans and information submitted by the applicant and the recommended conditions of
project approval, staff has determined that these findings can be made.
Conditional Use Permit Findings
Based upon analysis of the conditional use permit application and subject to the applicant's compliance
with all of the conditions of approval noted below, staff concludes that the following required findings of
Section 12-405-A-2 of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) can be made.

Dear Mr.Braun:
We have reviewed the use permit,rezone,map and traffic study for the proposed single-family
project located on the north side of East Shields between North Temperance and North Locan
Avenues. We understand from City staff that the project now includes 199 single-family
residential lots,down from 256. Caltrans has the following comments'
This letter supercedes our letter of June 1,2005.
Caltrans has determined that trips generated from this development will impact the State Route
(SR) 180 interchanges at Fowler and Temperance Avenues. The TIS did not conduct an
operational analysis of the two interchanges;however,the study did provide a select zone trace
of the project's trips to these two locations, The trace indicated than the development would
likely have a modest impact to State facilities.
The Freeway ISO extension has been delayed due to a lack of funds. This delay could mean that
the extension will not be construction until 2012,possibly longer if there are additional funding
shortfalls.
The City should consider a transit alternative for this project There is sufficient residential
development in this area of Fresno to support transit, and 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 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

Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5447/UGM Temperance and North Locan Avenues
Conditional Use permit Application No. C-05-43 (APN: 310-274-01)
Project Description:
Rezone Application No. R-05-06 proposes to rezone 34.93 (net) acres of property located on the north side of
East Shields Avenue between North Locan and North Temperance Avenues, from the R-A/UGM (Single
Family Residential-Agricultural !Urban Growth Managemeno zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single Family
ResidentiaYUrban Growth Managemeno zone district. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5447/UGM and
Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-05-43 propose to subdivide the subject property into a 199-lot
single family residential planned development subdivision to be developed at a density of 5.7 dwelling units
per acre. The property is within the jurisdictions of the McLane Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno
general Plan. Both plans designate the property for medium density residential planned land uses (4.99 to
10.37 units per acre). The subject site is currently vacant and is predominantly surrounded by
agricultural/rural residentiaLproperties.
Conformance to Master Environmental impact Report(MEIR NO. 10130):
As previously indicated, the recently adopted 2025 Fresno General Plan designates the subject parcel for
medium density residential planned land use. The requested R-1/UGM zone district conforms to the medium
density residential land use designation 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
I
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).
Per Section 21157.1 of the California Public Resources Code (California Environmental Quality Act), it may
I-,e determined that a subsequent project falls within the scope of a MEIR, provided that the project does not
.ause 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 medium density residential land use designation
specified for the subject parcel. Based on this initial study, the project does not change the land use indicated

for the subject parcel and will not generate additional significant effects not previously identified by the MI=L
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 staffs finding in a manner prescribed by this section of the Guidelines and by
Section 21092 of the California Public Resources Code (CEQA provisions).
