EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Bonadelle Homes, Inc., on behalf of BN 5312, L.P., has filed Rezone Application No. R-07-65,
Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-07-270, and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5901/UGM
pertaining to approximately 19.34 net acres (20.05 gross acres) of property located on the west side of
North Locan Avenue between East Ashlan and East Shields Avenues. Rezone Application No.
R-07-65 proposes to reclassify the subject site from the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban
Growth Management) zone district to the R-2/UGM (Low Density Multiple Family Residential/Urban
Growth Management) zone district. The subject property is planned for medium density residential
land uses. If approved, Rezone Application No. R-07-65 will facilitate development of a 158-lot, single
family residential public street planned development with modified property development standards as
proposed by Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-07-270 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
5901/UGM. According to the land use consistency table adopted with the 2025 Fresno General Plan
(and applied within all community plans), the medium density residential planned land use designation
allows 4.99-10.37 dwelling units per acre. Overall, the proposed subdivision density is 8.17 dwelling
units per acre, which may be found to be consistent with the medium density residential planned land
use designation pursuant to Section 12-403-B-2-a(2) of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC). The
subject rezone applications would bring the subject property into conformance with the 2025
Fresno General Plan and the McLane Community Plan. The requested rezone application is
supported by staff, the District 4 Advisory Corrimittee and the City of Fresno Planning Commission.

KEY OBJECTIVE BALANCE
Council action regarding this proposed land use application optimizes the three Key Objectives of
Customer Satisfaction, Employee Satisfaction, and Financial Management. Affirmative action by the
Council will result in timely deliverance of the review and processing of the application as is reasonably
expected by the applicant/customer. Prudent financial management is demonstrated by the
expeditious completion of this land use application inasmuch as the applicant/customer has paid to -the
city a fee for the processing of this application and that fee is, in turn, funding the operations of the
Planning and Development Department. Employee satisfaction is derived from the fact that the
professional and technical staff, who have reviewed and made a recommendation on this land use
application, have done so in a thorough and professional manner, thereby enhancing the sense of
accomplishment in the completion of the application process.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No. R-07-65/C-07-270/T-5901 considered
potential environmental impacts associated with the subject rezone, conditional use permit and vesting
tentative tract map applications in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. This process included the distribution of requests for comment from
other responsible or affected agencies and interested organizations.
The study indicates that the project, if approved, would conform to the land use designation and land
use policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and is fully within the scope of MEIR No. 10130 as
provided by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as codified in the Public Resources Code
(PRC) Section 21157.1(d) and the CEQA Guidelines Section 15177(c). It has been further determined
that all applicable mitigation measures of MEIR No. 10130 have been applied to the project to assure
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

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 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 Plan Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR No. 10130) dated October
16, 2007, which incorporates an MEIR Mitigation Monitoring Checklist. This environmental finding was
properly published on October 16, 2007, with no comments received to date.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Bonadelle Homes, Inc., on behalf of BN 5312, L.P., has filed Rezone Application No. R-07-65,
Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-07-270, and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5901/UGM
pertaining to approximately 19.34 net acres (20.05 gross acres) of property located on the west side of
North Locan Avenue between East Ashlan and East Shields Avenues. Rezone Application No.
R-07-65 proposes to reclassify the subject site from the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban
Growth Managemeno zone district to the R-2/UGM (Low Density Multiple Family Residential/Urban
Growth Management) zone district. The subject property is planned for medium density residential
land uses. Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-07-270 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
5901/UGM propose to subdivide the subject property for a 158-lot, single family residential public street
planned development with modified property development standards; and, install related facilities and
infrastructure. According to the land use consistency table adopted with the 2025 Fresno General Plan
(and applied within all community plans), the medium density residential planned land use designation
allows 4.99-10.37 dwelling units per acre. Overall, the proposed subdivision density is 8.17 dwelling f,..
f
units per acre, which may be found to be consistent with the medium density residential planned land
use designation pursuant to Section 12-403-B-2-a(2) of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC).
In accordance with Section 12-403-B-2 of the FMC, a proposed change of zone district that does not
meet the criteria of the Zone District Consistency Table (Section 12-403-B-1 of the FMC) may be
determined consistent with the corresponding land use designated by the 2025 Fresno General Plan,
or an applicable community, specific, or redevelopment plan subject to the submittal and approval of a
"development plan." Exhibit "A" of Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-07-270 dated September
12, 2007 serves as a "development plan" for the proposed R-2/UGM (Low Density Multiple Family
Residential/Urban Growth Management) which, according to the Zone District Consistency Table of the
FMC, is consistent with the Medium-High Density Residential planned land use designation. The
development plan illustrates that the proposed project is consistent with the planned density criteria
(4.99-10.37 dwelling units per acre) for the medium density residential planned land use designation;
and, that the proposed project is consistent with City plans, policies and property development
standards which are essential to protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the community and
improving the project and its relationship to the neighborhood and environment. The subject property
is within the boundaries of, and is consistent with, the 2025 Fresno General Plan and McLane
Community Plan.
The subject property is currently vacant. The Fresno Irrigation District's Gow No. 99 Canal also
traverses the subject property along its eastern boundary in a north/south directional orientation.
Properties to the east of the subject property have been used historically for agricultural purposes and
have been developed with residences at rural and low densities. Approximately 20 acres of land
located to the south of the subject property has been approved for medium density residential
development through Tentative Tract Map No. 5312 in 2004 (95-lot single family residential
development). Approximately 80 acres located to the west of the subject property (southeast corner of
the intersection of North Temperance and East Dakota Avenues) has been approved for medium-low
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Rezone Application No. R-07-65
December 18, 2007
Page 5
density residential development through Tentative Tract Map No. 5237 in 2004 (393-lot single family
residential development). Property to the north of the subject property and south of the Gould No. 97
Canal remains vacant but was approved for 428,375 sq. ft. of self-storage facilities with caretaker's
residence and covered carports for RV and vehicle storage (Derrel's Mini Storage) in 2005.
Land Use Plans and Policies
The 2025 Fresno General Plan and McLane Community Plan designate the project site for medium
density (4.99-10.37 dwelling units/acre) residential planned land uses. The proposed R-2/UGM (Low
Density Multiple Family Residential) zone district is consistent with the medium density residential
planned land use designation pursuant to Section 12-403-B-2-a(2) of the FMC.
The 158-lot, single family residential public street planned development proposed by Conditional Use
Permit Application No. C-07-270 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. T-5901/UGM-is compatible with
the applicable community and general plan goals, policies, and implementation measures intended to
provide for the efficient uses of natural resources and public facilities; the construction of adequate
public improvements by the development which generates the demand for these facilities; and, the
implementation of a functional land use pattern consistent with the population and economic growth
projections of the 2025 Fresno General Plan.
Circulation Element Plan Policies and Major Street System Traffic Capacity
The Public Works Department Traffic Division has reviewed the proposed rezone application and
related development proposals for the subject property and has determined that the streets relating to
the site will be able to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated. Furthermore, the Public Works
Department staff has concluded that this project will not have significant adverse impacts upon the
city's circulation system and that any impacts are mitigable through the city's standard process and
requirements for projects that abut major streets.
State Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental
Relations has reviewed the rezone, conditional use permit and vesting tentative tract map applications.
Caltrans comments and recommendations are included within its attached memorandum dated
October 15, 2007. Caltrans has indicated that this development will have a minimal impact on State
Facilities but recommends that transit alternative be considered for the project.
Fresno City Planning Commission
This rezone application and associated conditional use permit and tract map were considered by the
Fresno City Planning Commission at its regular meeting held on November 14, 2007. At the Planning
Commission hearing, the commission took action to recommend approval of the environmental finding
of Environmental Assessment No. R-07-65/C-07-270/T-5901 dated October 16, 2007 that the project
proposal conforms to the provisions of the 2025 Fresno General Plan Master Environmental Impact
Report (MEIR No. 10130); and Rezone Application No. R-07-65, which proposes to reclassify the
subject property from the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone
district to the R-2/UGM (Low Density Multiple Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone
district.

CONCLUSION
The appropriateness of the proposed project has been examined with respect to its consistency with
goals and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the McLane Community Plan; its compatibility
with surrounding existing or proposed uses; and its avoidance or mitigation of potentially significant
adverse environmental impacts. These factors have been evaluated as described above and by the
accompanying environmental assessment. Upon consideration of this evaluation, it can be concluded
that Rezone Application No. R-07-65 is appropriate for the project site. Therefore, staff recommends
that the Fresno City Council approve the subject rezone application and associated environmental
finding.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
EXHIBIT NO. 2
The District recommends a street to the south between Leanna Avenue and Street "A". The street
should be located somewhere in the vicinity of lots 10, 11, 12,41,42,or 43. The street is necessary
to convey storm water to the inlet located on Garland Avenue from two directions, as shown on
Exhibit No. 1, rather than allowing all of the surface runoff to enter the inlet from the west side of
Tract 5901. The bi-directional flow is necessary as to not overflow the gutter capacity at the
northeast corner of Garland and Hornet Avenues during storm events.
An option to the placement of a street to the south would be a non-Master Plan pipe extension and
inlets into Robinson Avenue, as shown on Exhibit No. 1.
The District's existing Master Plan drainage system is designed to serve medium density
residential uses and the existing Master Plan storm drainage facilities do not have capacity to
serve the proposed medium-high density land use. The developer shall be required to mitigate
the impacts of the increased runoff from the proposed medium-high density land use to a rate
that would be expected if developed to medium density residential. The developer may either
make improvements to the existing pipeline system to provide additional capacity or may use
some type of permanent peak reducing facility in order to eliminate adverse impacts on the
existing system. Implementation of the mitigation measures may be deferred until the time of
development. Should the developer choose to construct a permanent peak-reducing facility,
such a system would be required to reduce runoff from a ten-year storm produced by a
commercial density development, to a two-year discharge, which would be produced by the
property if developed medium density residential. Contact the District as early as possible to
review the proposed mitigation process. Refer to letter for Rezone 2007-065 for further
information.

Drainage Area BV"
The proposed rezone lies within the District's Drainage Area"BV". The District has reviewed
the land use changes proposed through the subject Rezone 2007-065.
The District's system cannot accommodate the proposed rezone in this drainage area. The
District's existing Master Plan drainage system is designed for medium density residential land
use and the existing Master Plan storm drainage facilities do not have the capacity to serve the
proposed medium-high density residential land use.
The developer will be required to mitigate the impacts of the increased runoff from the proposed
medium-high density residential land use to a rate that would be expected if developed to a
medium density residential land use. The developer may either make improvements to the
existing pipeline system to provide additional capacity or may use some type of permanent peak
reducing facility in order to eliminate adverse impacts on the existing system. Implementation
of the mitigation measures may be deferred until the time of development.
Should the developer choose to construct a permanent peak reducing facility, such a system
would be required to reduce runoff from a ten-year storm produced by the medium-high density
residential land use development to a two-year discharge, which would be produced by the
property if developed at a medium density residential land use. The developer will be required
to submit improvement plans to the District for review and approval showing the proposed
method of mitigation prior to implementation.
Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact the District.

Subject: CEQA comments regarding the construction of 158 single family residences.
District Reference No: 200701485
Dear Ms. Zuniga:
The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the
project referenced above and offers the following comments:
The San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is currently designated as serious non-attainment for
Ozone and non-attainment (no classification) for PM2.5. On October 30, 2006, the US
EPA found that the San Joaquin Valley had attained the PM10 standard. The US EPA
based its determination upon monitoring data demonstrating that the ambient air quality
had met the requirements for attainment. The US EPA's finding does not change the
District's classification as a serious PM10 non-attainment to attainment area. However,
re-designation from serious non-attainment to attainment requires additional
documentation and will occur at some future date.
Findings of Significance
This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to construction
activities in preparation of the site, and ongoing traffic and other operational emissions.
Based on the information provided, the District expects that the project would not exceed
the District's Thresholds of Significance for ozone precursors of 10 tons per year of
reactive organic gases (ROG) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). However, the increase in
emissions from this project,. and others like it, cumulatively .reduce the a-ir quality in the

equal to or less than two (2) dwelling units per acre.
More information about Rule 4901 can be found on our website at www.valleVair.org. For
compliance assistance, please contact Mr. Wayne Clarke, Air Quality Compliance
Manager, at (559) 230-5968.
Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review) This rule was adopted to reduce the impacts of
growth in emissions from all new development in the San joaquin Valley. Rule 9510
requires applicants subject to the rule to provide information that enables the District to
quantify construction, area and operational PM10 and NOx emissions, and potentially
mitigate a portion of those emissions. Rule 9510 requires construction exhaust
emissions to be reduced by 20 percent for NOx and 45 percent for PM10 and operational
emissions to be reduced by 33.3% for NOx and 50% for PM10 when compared to the
statewide fleet average. The rule is applicable to any residential development project,
which, upon full buildout is 50 dwelling units or more. An application must be filed with
the District no later than concurrent with application with a local agency for the final
discretionary approval. For more information and instruction, please contact the District's
ISR staff by phone at (559) 230-6000 or by email at ISRCa�valleyair.org.
District staff is available to meet with you and/or the applicant to further discuss the
regulatory requirements that are associated with this project. If you have any questions
or require further information, please call Chris Kalashian at (559) 230-6120 and provide
the reference number at the top of this letter.

Attn: Joann Zuniga CITY OF FRESNO
Dear Ms. Zuniga,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map No.
5901.
PG&E requests that a Public Utility Easement (PUE) be incorporated within all
access easement(s) as shown on said Map.
If PG&E has an existing pole line facility that serves the property and the existing pole
line crosses proposed property lines (and is not covered by an existing easement), it
is the property owner's responsibility to provide PG&E with adequate rights-of-way.
PG&E is available to assist the property owner in making the determination if an
easement will be necessary. The property owner or their agent may contact the
undersigned for assistance.
PG&E has determined that our records show no gas or electric transmission lines in
the area.
Existing gas or electric facility relocations necessitated by new street improvements
(which are required as conditions of a development's final acceptance by the County
of Fresno) will be at the expense of the developer. Because facility relocation's
require long lead times and are not- always feasible, developers should be
encouraged to consult with PG&E as early in their planning stages as possible.
Expansion of distribution and transmission lines and related facilities are a
necessary consequence of growth and development. In addition to adding new
distribution feeders, the range of electric system improvements needed to
accommodate growth may include upgrading existing substation and transmission
line equipment, expanding existing substations to their ultimate buildout capacity,
and building new substations and interconnecting transmission lines. Comparable
upgrades or additions needed to accommodate additional load on the gas system
could include facilities such as regulator stations, odorizer stations, valve lots,
distribution and transmission lines.
PG&E remains committed to working with the County of Fresno to provide timely,
reliable and cost effective gas and electric service.
Thank you for the opportunity to review the plans of this Tentative Tract Map. If you
have any questions, please contact me at 263-5167.

Subject: County Conditions For Tract 5901 - Locan S/O Gould Canal
Will -
The County needs the following to be addressed, in some manner, in the
conditions of approval on the subject tract:
1] A "Safe Route To School" path of travel needs to be provided
by the developer to connect to Tract 4774 on the north side of the canal
for the educational centers on Ashlan Ave.; Our understanding is this
was required in the TIS.
2] A grading voucher will not be needed from the County as one
was issued for Tract 5588 {GV 91801. This assumes the proposed scope of
work within the County(outside of the right-of-way] has not changed.
However, typically, submittal of all plans for development in the City
but adjacent to the County will require submittal of the information in
the attached list;
3] Any work required in the County right-of-way for road
widening/transitions, striping (i.e. Locan), FID pipe work and
pedestrian improvements will require submittal to Road Maintenance &
Operations Division to be reviewed and approved. An Encroachment Permit
with a Traffic Control Plan will be necessary for the work to be
completed;
4] Any Locan Avenue road widening will need to address existing
driveway access and transitions on the east side of tlae road.
5] The County needs a copy of the TIS for the project and a set
of the conditions of approval prepared by the City
Thanks.

County General Plan, Policy Statement No. PF-1.2 states `The County shall encourage
school facility siting that establishes schools as focal points within the neighborhood and
community in areas with safe pedestriars and bicycle access.")
In accordance with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CMUTCD),
Chapter 7A, a school route plan shall be prepared in order to develop uniformity in the use
of school area traffic controls and to serve as the basis for a school traffic control plan for
the school. (As stated in the CMUTCD, "The school route plan, developed in a systematic
manner by the school, law enforcement, and traffic officials responsible for school
pedestrian safety, should consist of a map showing streets, the school, existing traffic
controls, established school walk routes, and established school crossing.")
Applicant shall contact school district to request trip generation data and work with contact
for development of Safe Route to School Map and its features.
5. Traffic and Engineering Study: A TES shall be prepared by the applicant and be included
in the initial Street Improvement Plans submittal to County. A meeting with the applicant

approaches, a design speed of 55 or 65 MPH (CVC Maximum Speed Law) shall be used.
8. Pavement Transitions: Pavement transition lengths shall be based on the formula L=WS
for prevailing/operating speeds greater than 40 mph or L=WS2/60 for critical speeds less
than or equal to 40 mph.
9. Grading and Drainage Plan Review: The applicant shall provide the County with
proposed "Grading and Drainage Plans" for review and approval to ensure that properties
adjacent to the project are not adversely impacted by the increase in storm water runoff or
alteration to existing drainage patterns. Please contact County Grading Engineer at (559)
262-4022 for plan check and other fees.
10. Street Plan Review and Permit: Street Improvement Plans shall be submitted to the
County for review and approval prior to start of construction within County jurisdiction. No
work within County roads shall begin prior to obtaining required road right-of-way, County
Street Improvement Plan approval, and a County Road Encroachment Permit. Screening
and Plan Review Checklists are available upon request from County staff.
11. Partnering at Conceptual Stage: The applicant or his consultant should establish
communication early on with County staff to ensure coordination of joint City and County
review of construction plans. Communication should be well established at the conceptual
stage of plan development and after Project Conditions have been set by the Planning
Commission and/or Council. Utility Plans should be handled in like manner.
12. Improvements Required along Fully-Built County Parcels: Conditions should be placed
on projects requiring the applicant to construct full-width, full-build street improvements
along those frontages where prior County parcels are already developed at their highest and
best use, usually where a two-lane road in a 60 foot or less right-of-way width was required.
13. Public Notice: Public notice should be given to all County residents potentially impacted by
improvements proposed within public roadways. Such notice should be given prior to public
hearing to allow time for consideration and input to City staff and attendance to public
hearing. This project shall also be conditioned to require the applicant to involve such
County residents in the plan preparation stage such that impacts to their property and
improvements in the public road right-of-way are addressed equitably.
NOTE TO CITY STAFF:
Notice of Hearings: Please provide a copy of the final Transportation Conditions of Approval for
this project with at least 10 days prior notice to City Planning Commission and Council for hearing
of this project.

Dear Ms. Zuniga:
The Fresno Irrigation District (FID) comments and requests are as follows:
1) Construction plans for the widening of the existing or construction of a new Locan
Avenue Bridge will need to be submitted to FID for review and approval by the applicant
should the City of Fresno require the replacement or retrofit of the existing bridge
structure (crossing FID's Gould Canal) as part of developing Tract 5901.
2) As of August 2007, a new 24" RGRC irrigation pipeline was installed in substitution of
the existing Gow canal as part of FID requirements for the development of Tract 5588
(now Tract 5901)_ As such, ALL Tract 5901 improvement plans need to reflect the
pipeline as existing within Tract 5901. r
3) FID's Gow pipeline traverses the subject property in an exclusive easement recorded on
February 2, 2007, as Document No 20070021333 and March 28, 2007, as Document No
20070062939.
4) FID has an existing agreement for common-use of easements with the City of Fresno
allowing the common-use of FID's easement area for landscaping purposes. FID
requests that applicant notify FID and the City of Fresno should differences with design
between Tract 5901 and Tract 5588 impact the conditions agreed to as outlined in the
said agreement recorded on February 1, 2007 as Document No. 20070021336.

Dear Ms. Zuniga:
We have reviewed the use permit, rezone, tract map and Traffic Impact Study(TIS) for the
proposed acre 158-lot residential subdivision located in the west side of North Locan Avenue
between East Shields and East Dakota Avenues. Caltrans has the following comments:
Based on the TIS, this development will have a minimal impact on State facilities.
The City should consider a transit alternative for this project. There is sufficient development in
this general area 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.
If you have any questions, please call me at (559) 488-4347.
Sincerely,
JOANNE STRIEBICH

ATTACHMENT NUMBER 1
CALTRANS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES:
Ongoing development throughout the City of Fresno, including this project, will make
traffic operations significantly worse by adding considerably to delay and congestion.
Transit alternatives can help reduce congestion and delay and reduce overall degradation
of air quality and gridlocked intersections. The City of Fresno should focus on ways to
eliminate trips in addition to enhancing capacity. Transportation alternatives the City
should consider include standard highway solutions along with the following:
1. Park and ride facilities on site or within the proximity of this project.
2. A study of the general accommodation and provision of mass transit in this area to
provide insight on ways of increasing transit usage.
3. Exploring the potential of commuter shuttles. The shuttle could be financed through
an assessment district and provide a way for individuals to utilize a park-and-ride
facility or commercial area parking lot and be shuttled to various commercial/office
centers within the area. Commuters who need to go further could use City of Fresno
transit if the City planned for convenient connections. This may help to reduce the
Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) demand seeking to use the State Highway System.
4. Providing for continuity of non-motorized transportation.
5. Exploring the potential for employer-sponsored carpools/vanpools or monthly transit
passes for employees as well as including as a condition of project approval a covered
transit stop as mitigation for project-related impacts to the transportation/circulation
system.
6. Exploring the potential for linking the purchase of a monthly transit pass with new
residential development as partial mitigation for congestion and air quality impacts,
and to ensure the long term viability of public transportation.

Project Description:
Bonadelle Homes, Inc., on behalf of BN 5312, L.P., has filed Rezone Application No. R-07-65, Conditional
Use Permit Application No. C-07-270, and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5901/UGM for approximately
19.34 net acres (20.05 gross acres) of property located on the west side of North Locan Avenue between
East Ashlan and East Shields Avenues. Rezone Application No. R-07-65 proposes to rezone the subject
property from the R-1/UGM (Single Family ResidentiaUUrban Growth Management) zone district to the
R-2/UGM (Low Density Multiple Family ResidentiaUUrban Growth Management zone district. Conditional
Use Permit Application No. C-07-270 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. T-5901/UGM propose to subdivide
e subject property for a 158-lot single family residential public street planned development with modified
operty development standards at an overall density of 8.17 dwelling units per acre.
Conformance to Master Environmental Impact Report(MEIR NO. 10130):
The 2025 Fresno General Plan and the McLane Community Plan designate the subject parcels for medium
density residential planned land uses. The proposed R-2/UGM (Low Density Multiple Family
ResidentiaYUrban Growth Management) zone district for the subject site may be found consistent with the
medium density residential planned land use designation pursuant to Section 12-403-B-2 of the Fresno
Municipal Code (FMC). Development of the subject property at the proposed overall density of 8.17 dwelling
units per acre is consistent with the medium density (4.99-10.37 dwelling units/acre) residential planned land
use as designated by both the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the McLane Community Plan.
The Planning and Development Department staff has prepared an initial study and environmental checklist
and evaluated the proposed rezone, conditional use permit, and tentative tract map applications 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 may be developed
at an intensity and scale that is permitted by the planned land use designation and proposed zone district
classification for the site. Thus, the rezone, conditional use permit, and tentative tract map applications 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 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 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.
0130 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
E200710000567
Finding of Conformity Under MEIR No. 10130
Environmental Assessment No. R-07-65/C-07-270/T-5901
Page 2
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 this 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 density
residential planned land use designation specified for the subject property. Based on the initial study
prepared for the subject rezone, conditional use permit, and tentative tract map applications the following
findings can be 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 (as indicated on the Environmental Assessment Checklist) for the following
reasons. The City's investigation of the site and the project have revealed that there are no unique
topographic, soil, or geological conditions at the site that will be impacted by this project, that there are no
aspects of this project that will result in impacts to air quality, water supply or quality, plant life or animal life
beyond those analyzed in the MEIR. There is no evidence that the site contains any habitat for wildlife,
unique, rare, or endangered plants or animals, or historic buildings, or historic resources. The project is
consistent with the 2025 Fresno General Plan planned land use designation for the subject site. As such, the
MEIR's mitigation measures related to air quality, water, noise, light and glare, transportation and circulation,
and urban services have been applied to this project. The Public Works Department/Traffic Engineering
Division staff has reviewed the proposed traffic yield from the 156-lot single family residential planned
development and the expected traffic generation (1,512 average daily trips [ADT]) will not adversely impact
the existing and projected (year 2025) level of service (LOS) for North Locan Avenue (LOS of B) based on the
circulation system analysis contained in MEIR No. 10130. There is no evidence that this site contains any
hazardous materials, or that the project will generate or release hazardous substances beyond those already
analyzed by the MEIR, or result in an adverse change in course of flow of flood waters. Finally this project will
not have any visual impacts on scenic vistas or views, and will not create aesthetically offensive conditions. ;
Thus, the scope of the work and impacts to the site and surrounding area were fully analyzed under the
MEIR. As a result, (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, as explained
above. 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).
