The subject property has been proposed to be developed at an intensity and scale that is permitted by the Medium Low Density Residential (2.19 to 6.00 dwelling units per acre) planned land use designation and R-1/EA/UGM/cz (Single Family Residential/Expressway Area Overlay District/Urban Growth Management/conditions of zoning) zone district classification for the subject site. The Copper River Ranch Planned Community was approved with blended densities that involved both single and multiple family residential development with an overall residential unit restriction of 2837 units. Thus, the subdivision of the subject property in accordance with the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5892/UGM will not facilitate an additional intensification of uses beyond that which already exists or would be allowed by the above-noted planned land use designations. Moreover, it is not expected that the future development will adversely impact existing city service systems or the traffic circulation system that serves the subject property. 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 and MND No. A-09- 02 and the Program EiR No. 10126 related to the Copper River Ranch Project 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 and MND No. A-09-02 and Program EIR No. 10126 as provided by CEQA Section 15177(b)(3). Pursuant to Section 21157.1 of the California Public Resources Code (California Environmental Quality Act), it may be determined that a subsequent project, as identified in the MEIR pursuant to Section 21157(b)(2)of the Public Resources Code and CEQA Guidelines Section 15177, 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 the specific project proposal, the environmental impacts noted in the MEIR, pursuant to the 2025 Fresno General Plan land use designation, include impacts associated with the Medium Low Density Residential planned land use designation specified for the subject property. Based on the initial study prepared, the following findings are made: (1)The proposed project was identified as a Subsequent Project in MEIR No. 10130 because its land use designation and permissible densities and intensities are set forth in Figure 1-1 of MEIR No. 10130; (2) The proposed project will not generate additional significant effects not previously identified and analyzed by the MEIR or MND No. A-09-02 (as indicated on the attached Environmental Assessment Checklist) or the Program EiR No. 10126 related to the Copper River Ranch Project for the reasons discussed within the environmental assessment for the subject project; and, (3) No new additional mitigation measures are required because the proposed project will not generate additional significant effects not previously identified and analyzed by the MEIR or MND or the Program EIR No. 10126 related to the Copper River Ranch Project. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.58921UGM August 7, 2013 Page 4 Therefore, the project proposal has been determined to be within the scope of the MSIR, MND and Program EIR as defined by Section 15177 of the CEQA Guidelines and staff has properly published a Finding of Conformity to MEIR No. 10130 dated June 14, 2013, with no comments received to date. In addition, after conducting a review of the adequacy of the MEIR pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21157.6(b)(1), the Development and Resource Management Department, as lead agency, finds that no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the MEIR was certified and the MND adopted; and, that no new information, which was not know and could not have been known at the time that the MEIR was certified as complete or the MND was adopted, has become available. BACKGROUND I ANALYSIS Gary G. Giannetta, on behalf of Copper River 74, Inc., has filed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5892/UGM pertaining to approximately 32.79 acres of property located between North Friant Road and East Copper Avenue, within the Copper River Ranch Planned Community. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 58921UGM proposes to subdivide approximately 11.72 acres of the subject property into a 64-lot single family residential subdivision with one remainder lot containing approximately 21 A7 acres. The remainder lot is not proposed for development with the subject application. The subject property is located within the jurisdiction of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the Woodward Park Community Plan, both plans designate the subject site for medium low density residential planned land uses (2.19 to 6.00 dwelling units per acre). Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5892/UGM proposes a 64-lot single family residential planned development subdivision on approximately 11.72 acres at a density of 5.46 dwelling units per acre. The Copper River Ranch Planned Community was approved with blended densities that involved both single and multiple family residential development with an overall residential unit restriction of 2837 units. Based upon the submitted subdivision design, the proposed subdivision can be found consistent with the medium low density residential planned land uses for the subject property pursuant to the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the Copper River Ranch Planned Community design as provided by Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 52051UGM and Conditional Use Permit No. C-04-153. The Copper River Ranch Planned Community was approved under Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 52051UGM and Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-04-153, approved on November 3, 2004. These development applications identified the subdivision of approximately 574 acres into an 830-lot single family residential subdivision that includes 8 single family residential villages consisting of both conventional lots and planned development lots with 45 outiots for multiple family residential development, landscaped open space, and commercial development and single family residential planned developments. The overall Copper River Ranch project is planned for development in phases. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5892/UGM implements the development and design concepts of the Copper River Ranch Planned Community, Sidewalks, Streets and Access Points The Public Works Department, Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed project and potential traffic related impacts for the proposed applications and has determined that the streets adjacent to and near the subject site will be able to accommodate the quantity and kind of traffic which may be potentially generated subject to the requirements stipulated within the memoranda from the Traffic Engineering Division dated July 3, 2013. These requirements generally include: (1) Street improvements, (including, but not limited to, construction of concrete curbs, gutters, pavement, underground street lighting systems; and, (2) Payment of applicable impact fees (including, but not limited to, the Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact (TSMI) Fee, Fresno Major Street Impact (FMSI) Fee, and Associated Copper River Ranch Fees. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 58921UGM August 7, 2013 Page 5 LandscapingMlalls The City of Fresno Noise Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan identifies the maximum appropriate noise level exposure for outdoor activity areas to be 60 clB DNL, and for interior living areas a noise level exposure of not more than 45 dB DNL. The acoustical analysis prepared by Brown-Buntin Associates, Inc. dated March 28, 2013, recommends, in part, a 7.6'-7.9' high solid masonry wail along Alicante Avenue in order to comply with the sound requirements of the General Plan. Said wall is a condition of approval for the subject project. The County of Fresno, Department of Public Works and Planning, has required a block wall, or other type of screening device, to mitigate headlight glare between North Friant Road and North Alicante Drive (said streets run adjacent to each other). Pursuant to the conditions of approval, the applicant must provide a wall, dense landscaping (minimum 4' high) or other type of screening device between North Friant Road and North Alicante Drive, where said streets abut each other. Lot Area and Dimensions The Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) requires that corner lots within the R-1 zone district to provide a minimum lot width of 60 feet. Reversed corner lots shall have a minimum width of 65 feet. Lots 1, 11, 32, 38, 50, 51, 58 and 59 are corner lots and propose a maximum of 10% decrease in the required width for a corner lot (60'); the: minimum lot width allowed with a minor deviation is 54'. Lots 46 and 64 are reversed corner lots and propose a maximum of 10% decrease in the required width for a reversed corner lot (65'); the minimum lot width allowed with a minor deviation is 58.5'. The FMC requires a 10 foot street side yard for a corner lot and a 15 foot street side yard for a reversed corner lot. The following lots will require a maximum 10% deviation from the requirements of the FMC. The street side yard setbacks for standard corner lots 1, 11, 32 and 59 shall be a minimum of 9 feet. The street side yard setbacks for reversed corner lots 46 and 64 shall be a minimum of 13.5 feet. Pursuant to FMC Section 12-1011 (f) (1), the Planning Commission may modify the requirements for lot size where there are special conditions or other factors that make it appropriate. As noted above, the Copper River Ranch Planned Community consists of development containing both conventional lots and planned development lots. Allowing for the requested deviations is consistent with the development of the Copper River Ranch project. Community Plan Citizen Committee The Copper River Ranch Planned Community was recommended for approval by the Northeast Area Plan and Implementation Committee on October 11, 2004. Public Services The Public Utilities Department has identified sanitary sewer and water requirements for this project. These conditions are listed in the memoranda dated June 24, 2013 and July 8, 2013, respectively. It should be noted that a tertiary wastewater treatment facility within the Copper River Ranch project will ultimately accommodate the wastewater flow from this project. The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that this project can be accommodated by the district. The project applicant shall comply with the FMFCD requirements as detailed in its memorandum dated May 20, 2013. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 58921UGM August 7, 2013 Page 6 Notice of Planning Commission Hearing The Development and Resource Management Department mailed notices of this Planning Commission hearing to all surrounding property owners within 350 feet of the subject property, pursuant to Section 12-401-C-2 of the Fresno Municipal Code. Vesting Tentative Tract Map Findings The Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code §§ 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 and the Woodward Park Community Plan, because the plans designate the site for medium low density residential planned land uses and the project design meets the density and zoning ordinance criteria for development. 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, and, that development shall occur in accordance with adopted standards, goals, objectives, and policies for development in the City of Fresno. 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 the area is not known to contain any unique or endangered species and 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, 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 Woodward Park Community Plan, complies with applicable zoning and subdivision 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 Vesting Tentative Tract Map, unless appealed to the Council, is final. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 58921UGM August 7, 2013 Page 7 CONCLUSION 1 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 Woodward Paris 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 the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 58921UGM is appropriate for the project site.

FID has the following comments: 1. FID does not own, operate, or maintain any facilities located within the limits of the proposed development as indicated on the attached FID exhibit map. 2. The proposed development appears to be within the City of Fresno's Sphere of Influence but lies outside FID's boundary line. The development is not entitled to water from the Kings River. 3. The proposed land use(or change In land use)should be such that the need for water is minimized and/or reduced so that groundwater impacts to the proposed project area and any surrounding areas are eliminated. The"demand"side of water consumed needs to be evaluated or scrutinized as much as the°supply side of the water supply. 4. FID is concerned that the proposed development may negatively impact local groundwater supplies Including those areas adjacent to or neighboring the proposed development area. The area was historically agricultural land and a significant portion of FID is concerned that the proposed development may negatively impact local groundwater supplies including those areas adjacent to or neighboring the proposed development area. The area was historically agricultural land and a significant portion of its water supply was imported surface water, supplemented by groundwater pumping. Under current circumstances the project area is experiencing a modest but continuing BOARD OF President RYAN JACOBSEN, Vice-Prealdent STEVEN BALLS DIRECTORS JEFFERY NEELY, GF.ORGS PORTER, GREGORY BEBERIAN, General Manager GARY R.SFRRATO Mr. Israel Trejo Re:TM 5892 May 15,2013 Page 2 of 2 groundwater overdraft. Should the proposed development result in a conversion from Imported surface water to groundwater,this deficit will increase. FID recommends the City of Fresno require tate proposed development balance anticipated groundwater use with sufficient recharge of imported surface water in order to preclude increasing the area's existing groundwater overdraft problem. 5. It should be noted that without the use of surface water, continued dependence on solely a groundwater supply will do nothing to reverse or correct the existing overdraft of the groundwater supply beneath the City of Fresno and FID service area. As this project will "harden"or make firmer the need for water,the long-term correction of the groundwater overdraft should be considered as a requirement of the project. 6. The City of Fresno and AD have been working to address water supplies issues for development outside of the FID service area. We encourage the City to continue towards finding solutions to minimize the impacts of changes in land uses and to mitigate any existing adverse water supply impacts within the development areas. Thank you for submitting this for our review. We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on the subject documents for the proposed project.

The Development and Resource Management Department staff has prepared an Initial Study (See Attached "Modified Appendix G To Analyze Subsequent Project Identified In MEIR No, 10130/MND For Plan Amendment A-09-02 (Air Quality MND)/Initial Study") to evaluate the proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map application(s) in accordance with the land use and environmental policies and provisions of lead agency City of Fresno's 2025 Fresno General Plan (SCH # 2001071097), the related Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR) No. 10130 and the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for Plan Amendment A-09-02 to amend the Air Quality Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan (Air Quality MND) and Program EIR No. 10126 prepared for the Copper River Ranch Project. The subject property is currently vacant but may be developed at an intensity and scale that is permitted by the planned land use designation and zone district classification for the site. Thus, the proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map application will riot 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 future development will adversely impact existing city service systems or the traffic circulation system that serves the subject property. 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 and the Air Quality MND have been applied to the project necessary to assure that the project will not cause significant adverse cumulative impacts, growth inducing impacts, and irreversible: Finding of Conformity Under MEIR No. 10130 and the Air Quality MND prepared for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5892/UGM Environmental Assessment No. T-5892 June 14, 2013 Page 2 significant effects beyond those identified by MEIR No. 10130 as provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15177(b)(3). in addition, this proposed project was part of Program Environmental Impact Report No. 10126 prepared for the Copper River Ranch Project which was certified by the City Council on June 3, 2003. EIR No. 10126 required mitigation measures which have been incorporated into this project. Pursuant to Section 21157.1 of the California Public Resources Code (California Environmental Quality Act), it may be determined that a subsequent project,as identified in the MEIR pursuant to Section 21157(b)(2)of the Public Resources Code and CEQA Guidelines Section 15177, fails within the scope of a MEIR, provided that the project does not cause additional significant impacts on the environment that were not previously examined by the MEIR and the Air Quality MND. Relative to this specific project proposal, the environmental impacts noted in the MEIR and the Air Quality MND, pursuant to the 2025 Fresno General Plan land use designations, include impacts associated with the medium low density residential planned land use designation specified for the subject property. Based on this Initial Study, the following findings are made: (1) The proposed project was identified as a Subsequent Project in MEIR No. 10130 because its, location, land use designation and permissible densities and intensities are set forth in Figure 1-1 of MEIR No. 10130; (2) The proposed project is fully within the scope of the MEIR and Air Quality MND and Program EIR No. 10126 because it will not generate additional significant effects on the environment not previously examined and analyzed by the MEIR or Air Quality MND and Program EIR No. 10126 for the reasons set forth in the Initial Study;and (3)other than identified below, there are no new or additional mitigation measures or alternatives required. In addition, after conducting a review of the adequacy of the MEIR pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21157.6(b)(1), the Planning and Development Department, as lead agency, finds that no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the MEIR was certified and the Air Quality MND was adopted and that no new information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time that the MEIR was certified as complete and the Air Quality MND was adopted, has become available. 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 and the Air Quality MND shall be applied to the project as conditions of approval as set forth in the attached Mitigation Monitoring Checklist (See "Master Environmental Impact Report(MEIR)No. 10130/SCH No. 2001071097 For the 2025 General Plan, Mitigation Monitoring Checklist). Public notice has been provided regarding staffs finding in the manner prescribed by Section 15177(d) of the CEQA Guidelines and by Section 21092 of the California Public Resources Code(CEQA provisions).
