EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Subdivider, BN Hudson Ranch LP, a California Limited Partnership (John A. Bonadelle, President), has filed for approval, the Final Map of Tract No. 5966 for a 106-lot single-family residential subdivision with 2- outlots for public open space purposes located at the northwest corner of East International and North Chestnut Avenues. The proposed Final Map is Phase-1 of Vesting Tentative Map No, 59661UGM, a 182-lot single-family residential public street planned development subdivision with 2-outlots for public open space purposes on 38.61 gross acres at an overall density of 5.09 units per acre. The Final Map is technically correct and conforms to the approved Vesting Tentative Map No. 5966 dated February 17, 2010 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 office 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. ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL MAP OF TRACT No.5966 Authorize Directors to Execute Subdivision Agreement and Covenants September 16,2010 Page 2 of 2 BACKGROUND The Fresno City Planning Commission on February 17,2010 adopted Resolution No.13000 approving Vesting Tentative Map No.5966(Tentative Map)and Conditional Use Permit No.C-09-280(CUP)for a 182 lot single- family residential public street planned development subdivision with 2-outlots for public open space purposes on 38.61 gross acres,at an overall density of 5.09 units per acre. 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. 5966 with the 2025 General Plan and the Woodward Park Community Plan to comply with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act. The approval of the Tentative Map remains in effect until February 17,2012. The Subdivider on March 26, 2010 filed the Final Map of Tract No. 5966 pursuant to the approved Tentative Map. The Final Map has been reviewed and deemed to be technically correct. Included in the subdivision agreement is the means to satisfy the condition of approval of the Tentative Map which requires that access to North Chestnut Avenue from the subdivision be prohibited until such time as the subdivider installs the traffic signal at the intersection of East International and North Chestnut Avenues.The revised condition of approval requiring the subdivider to complete the North Chestnut Avenue connection between International and Copper Avenues prior to issuance of the 106th dwelling unit defers the satisfaction of this condition to future Phase-2. To complete the Chestnut Avenue connection will require the acquisition of off-site rights-of-way(r/w)by the Subdivider to be satisfied as a condition of approval of,or in advance of,Phase-2.The Subdivider has satisfied all other conditions of approval by executing the Subdivision Agreement for the Final Map of Tract No. 5966, submitted securities in the total amount of$2,152,000 to guarantee the completion and acceptance of the public improvements and$1,076,000 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$590,881.52. Included in this amount is payment in the amount of$66,547.13 to reimburse the subdividers of T-4432 and T-4788 for the cost of prior acquisitions of off-site street rights of way from this project site. Additionally, the Subdivider has paid the$29,216 CALTRANS fee to mitigate the project's impacts to the State Route 41 interchange at Friant Road. Covenants have been executed to defer eligible development impact fees totaling$1,162,431.08 to the time of issuance of building permit and final occupancy of each unit, for annual CFD-11 assessment notification,for temporary off-site drainage facilities and for special solid waste disposal service within cul-de- sacs. MAINTENANCE DISTRICT: A condition of approval of the Tentative Map is to maintain the landscaping and irrigation systems within the landscape easements along East International Avenue and North Chestnut Avenue, the entrance to the subdivision and the outlots, all interior street curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lights, street signage and street trees 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 August 19,2010. The Subdivider has executed the covenant for Landscape Maintenance 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 $595 per lot with an annual 3% adjustment plus the increase, if any, in the construction cost index for the San Francisco Region. 2 ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL MAP OF TRACT No.5966 Authorize Directors to Execute Subdivision Agreement and Covenants September 16,2010 Page 3 of 3 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 Development and Resource Management Department.

The subject property has been proposed to be developed at an intensity and scale that is permitted by the Medium-Low Density Residential(2.19-6.00 dwelling units/acre) planned land use designation and existing R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district classification for the subject site. Thus, the subdivision of the subject property in accordance with Conditional Use Permit Application No.C-09-280 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5966/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 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. If has been further determined that all applicable mitigation measures of MEIR No. 10130 and MND No. A-09-02 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 as provided by CEQA Section 15177(b)(3). REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Conditional Use Permit Application No.C-09-280 Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.5966/UGM February 17,2010 Page 4 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 I-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)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. Therefore,the project proposal has been determined to be within the scope of the MEIR and MND as defined by Section 15177 of the CEQA Guidelines and staff has properly published a Finding of Conformity to MEIR No.10130 dated January 15,2010,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 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 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/ANALYSIS Gary G.Giannetta Civil Engineering&Land Surveying,on behalf of Bonadelle Homes,property owner, has filed Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-09-280 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5966/UGM pertaining to approximately 35.79 net acres(38.61 gross acres)of property located on the northwest corner of the intersection of East International and North Chestnut Avenues. Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-09-280 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5966/UGM propose to develop and subdivide the subject property for the purposes of creating a proposed 182-lot single family residential public street planned development subdivision on the subject property with modified lot area,lot dimension,lot coverage,and building setback requirements at an overall density of approximately 5.09 dwelling units/per acre. An additional two"Outlots"are proposed to be dedicated for public open space purposes. The subject property is currently zoned under the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management)zone district classification. The subject property is located within the boundaries of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and Woodward Park Community Plan,which designate the subject property for Medium-Low Density Residential (2.19-6.00 dwelling units/acre) planned land uses. Pursuant to Table 2(Planned Land Use and Zone District Consistency Matrix)of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and Section 12-403-B-1 (Zone District Consistency Table)of the Fresno Municipal Code(FMC),the existing R-1 (Single Family Residential) zone district and the proposed project density of approximately 5.09 dwelling units per acre may be found to be consistent with the Medium-Low Density Residential planned land use designation. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Conditional Use Permit Application No.C-09-280 Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.5966/UGM February 17,2010 Page 5 One single family residence currently exists on the subject property and is proposed to be retained within the proposed planned development(see proposed Lot 113 of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5966/UGM). Property located directly to the east of the subject property and across North Chestnut Avenues has been developed with a High School campus by Clovis Unified School District. Property located directly to the north,south(across East International Avenue),and west of the subject property have been developed with single family residences on Medium-Low density sized lots. Public Resources The Department of Public Utilities (DPU) has determined that adequate sanitary sewer and water services are available to serve the project subject to the provision of private on-site sanitary sewer mains and the construction and installation of public water facilities and infrastructure in accordance with Department of Public Works standards,specifications and policies and the provision of two independent sources of water,meeting Federal and State Drinking Water Act Standards. Implementation of the 2025 Fresno General Plan policies, mitigation measures of Master Environmental Impact Report No. 10130 and the Water Resources Management Plan will provide an adequate, reliable, and sustainable water supply for the project's urban domestic and public safety consumptive purposes. The subject property is within one mile of City of Fresno Fire Station No. 17. The City of Fresno Fire Department has conditioned the proposed project with requirements for installation of fire hydrants and the provision of adequate fire flows per Public Works Standards with two sources of water; and, payment of the Citywide Fire Facilities Impact Fee. The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District(FMFCD)has indicated that permanent drainage service will be available for the development subject to the developer constructing FMFCD "Master Plan Facilities"and"Non-Master Plan Facilities"as determined by the district. Amendments or modifications to the FMFCD requirements will be required to be approved by the FMFCD Board of Directors,pursuant to Section 13-1307 of the Fresno Municipal Code, prior to approval of the final map. The project applicant is undergoing negotiations with FMFCD regarding alternatives to preliminary drainage requirements. Settled requirements will be provided for the record and formally incorporated into the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit Application No.C-09-280 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.5966/UGM at the scheduled Planning Commission hearing. Streets and Access Points The project is a public street planned development that will take access from both East International and North Chestnut Avenues. The 2025 Fresno General Plan Circulation Element designates East International and North Chestnut Avenue as"Collector"streets. The project will be required to construct all frontage improvements to City Standards. Right-of-way dedications and/or vacations will also be required along adjacent public streets in accordance with City of Fresno requirements to provide for the necessary improvements. This subdivision is proposed to have one major street entryway from East International Avenue and one major street entryway from North Chestnut Avenue. Major street entryways are proposed utilizing a 60- foot wide street right-of-way cross-section with median for traffic calming and aesthetics. Six-foot wide sidewalks are required along the adjacent major street segments. Interior local street connectivity with existing adjacent residential developments will also be provided at the northwesterly corner of the subject property(East Prestwick Avenue alignment to west of subject property was dedicated with Tract 4903 in 2002). Interior local streets are proposed to be dedicated for public use and utilize 50-foot wide street right-of-way sections. The 50-foot wide street right-of-way section provides for vehicular parking REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Conditional Use Permit Application No.C-09-280 Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.5966/UGM February 17,2010 Page 6 and sidewalks on both sides of streets and parkway landscaping. One traffic circle will also be incorporated along the proposed North Whitney Avenue alignment,which exceeds 800 feet in length. As required by the mitigation measures established by the certification of MEIR No. 10130, a Traffic Impact Study(TIS)was prepared for the proposed development of the subject property. Applying the factors outlined in the Institute of Traffic Engineers(ITE)Trip Generation Manual,the proposed 182-lot residential planned development on approximately 35.79 net acres of land, it is projected that 136 vehicle trips will occur during the morning peak hour travel period(7 to 9 a.m.)and 183 vehicle trips will occur during the eveningpeak hour travel period(4 to 6 p.m.). The Public Works Department,Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed conditional use permit and vesting tentative tract map 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 generated,subject to requirements for improvements and right-of-way dedications as listed within the City of Fresno Department of Public Works memorandums dated February 02,2010 and February 06,2010. These improvements and dedication requirements generally include: the dedication and improvement of adjacent portions of East International and North Chestnut Avenues; dedication, improvements, and signalization obligations at the intersection of East International and North Chestnut Avenues; and, construction of center section travel lanes and two-way left turn lane within the limits of the proposed subdivision and north to East Copper Avenue(North Chestnut Avenue). The developer of this project will be required to pay impact fees specific to the project's fair share towards the State Route 41 interchange at Friant Road. The project will also be required to pay the Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact (TSMI) Fee of $450.94 per single family dwelling unit at the time of occupancy, based on the trip generation rates set forth in the latest edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual and the Master Fee Schedule. The intersection of East International and North Chestnut Avenues is required to be signalized to City of Fresno Standards, complete with left turn phasing, actuation and signal pre-emption (work eligible for reimbursement and/or credit against the TSMI fee). The project will also be required to pay all applicable New Growth Area fees and City-wide regional street impact fees. The area street plans are the product of careful planning that projects traffic capacity needs based on the densities and intensities of planned land uses anticipated at build-out of the planned area. These streets will provide adequate access to,and recognize the traffic generating characteristics of,individual properties and,at the same time,afford the community an adequate and efficient circulation system. California Department of Transportation(Caltrans) The California Department of Transportation(Caltrans), District 6,Office of Intergovernmental Relations has reviewed the conditional use permit and vesting tentative tract map applications. Caltrans has indicated that trips from this proposed development will impact the State Route(SR)41 interchange at Friant Road. The state facility impact fee and the project's proportional fair share to mitigate for project- related impacts to the State Highway System will be calculated based upon the proposed project Traffic Impact Study(TIS) and the"City Formula"attached to the"Interim Agreement for the Identification of Measures to Mitigate Impacts to the State Highway System Resulting from City Approved Projects." The City of Fresno has entered into an interim agreement with Caltrans,as of February 23,2006,for the identification of measures to mitigate impacts to the state highway system and to impose a mitigation fee as contemplated by the agreement. A project condition has been identified consistent with the interim agreement. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Conditional Use Permit Application No.C-09-280 Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.5966/UGM February 17,2010 Page 7 Landscaping/Walls Given that the proposed subdivision is located adjacent to and abutting major streets(East International and North Chestnut Avenues) within the boundaries of the Woodward Park Community Plan, the development will be required to install landscaping within a minimum 10-foot wide buffer strip along the East International and North Chestnut Avenue collector street frontages. Major street entryways will contain enhanced landscaping, surface materials, and wall treatments that respectively improve and better define the project's visual image and character. "Parkway type"streets(local residential street with sidewalks separated from the street by a landscape strip)and"endblock"landscape treatments will provide enhanced landscaping throughout the proposed subdivision and buffer and protect fences from streets and vandalism. The proposed subdivision also provides two Outlets for use as landscaped pedestrian connections/walkways in order to link the neighborhood to reach destinations such as the adjacent school. The proposed Outlets are proposed at the southeasterly corner of the subject property in an attempt to promote pedestrian connectivity to the controlled intersection crossings and deter potential mid-block pedestrian crossings. Requirements for the improvement and maintenance of open space areas are stipulated within the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-09-280 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.5966/UGM. Solid masonry sound attenuation walls will be required to be constructed along the east and south property lines of the subject property to mitigate noise from adjacent North Chestnut and East International Avenues and prevent the creation of"double-frontage lots". Approximately 1.65 acres(71,652 square feet)of the subject property,or approximately 4.6 percent of the site area, has been designated for the purpose of open space as defined by the City of Fresno Proposed Guidelines for Landscaped Open Space and Pedestrian Walkway Requirements for Residential Development. Open space areas are comprised of landscaped entryways, landscaped pedestrian paths, and end-block landscape treatments. Although the City of Fresno's proposed guidelines for open space also recommend requiring aggregated open space (small parks) for all subdivisions that are 10 net acres in area or greater, staff have conceded this requirement due to the immediate proximity of the Clovis Unified School District High School campus located (directly across North Chestnut Avenue from the subject property). The provision of proposed Outlets"A"and`B"help to assure that appropriate pedestrian connections are provided,which will encourage pedestrian traffic to utilize the controlled major street intersection crossings for this purpose.

The 182-single family residential lots proposed range from approximately 4,500 square feet in area to approximately 14,500 square feet in area (excepting proposed Lot 113 of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5966/UGM on which the existing residence located on the subject property will remain.. The conditional use permit will also provide for reduced front and rear yard setbacks as are typically provided in planned development subdivisions. Proposed typical building envelopes provide for front and rear yard setbacks to be no less REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Conditional Use Permit Application No.C-09-280 Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.5966/UGM February 17,2010 Page 8 than 15 feet in width and side yards to be no less than five feet in width. One-car,two-car,and three- car garages are optional throughout the subdivision. Based upon analysis of the conditional use permit application and subject to the applicant's compliance with all of the conditions of approval noted, staff concludes that the following required findings of Section 12-405-A-2 of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC)can be made. FINDINGS PER FRESNO MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 12-405-A-2. :. a.All applicable provisions of this Code are complied with and the site of the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, and accommodate all yards, spaces, walls and fences,parking,loading,recycling areas,landscaping,and other required features;and, Finding I The subject site is approximately 35.79 net acres in size. Given that the subject site has a: been proposed to be subdivided into 182 residential lots,with lot sizes ranging from 4,500 to 14,500 square feet in area,there is adequate space to meet all applicable requirements of the Code as established in the Special Permit conditions of approval dated February 17, 2010; including yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, landscaping and open spaces I and other required features. b.The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use;and, Finding Staff from the Public Works Department, Transportation Planning section has estimated b: that the proposed development will generate approximately 136 a.m./183 p.m. peak hour vehicle trips which can be accommodated by the adjacent streets subject to the dedication and improvement of adjacent portions of East International and North Chestnut Avenues in accordance with the Department of Public Works and Public Utilities memorandums referenced above. These requirements are necessary for the traffic generated by the project and to accommodate city services and meet the needs of the proposed subdivision. c. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the area in which the property is located. The third finding shall not apply to uses which are subject to the provision of Section 12-306-N-30 of this Code. Finding The staff of the Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed c: use will not be detrimental to the public welfare or be injurious to property or improvements in the area in which the property is located if developed in accordance with the various conditions/requirements established through the related vesting tentative tract map _ -application review and conditional use permit application review processes. 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), REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Conditional Use Permit Application No.C-09-280 Vesting Tentative Tract Map No,5966/UGM February 17,2010 Page 9 1. The proposed subdivision map,together with its design and improvements,is consistent with the City's 2025 Fresno General Plan and Woodward Park Community Plan which designate the site for Medium-Low density residential land uses. Pursuant to Fresno Municipal Code Section 12- 403-B the project design meets the density and zoning ordinance criteria for development in this plan designation. 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 all agricultural uses on the subject property have been discontinued. The subject property remains fallow without trees, vegetation, or irrigation to sustain and attract wildlife; or, provide a suitable habitat to species other than vermin. 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 ensure that the subdivision conforms to city health and safety standards,specifications,and policies. 5. The proposed subdivision design will not conflict with public easements within or through the site, because the project design and conditions of approval will assure noninterference with any existing or proposed easements on the subject property. 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 except as modified in accordance with Planned Development allowances. 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. Action by the Planning Commission regarding the conditional use permit and vesting tentative tract map are final unless appealed in accordance with the Fresno Municipal Code, Sections 12-406-1 and 12- 1019,respectively.

Shaw Avenue, Suite 200 Fresno, CA 93704-2515 SUBJECT: REVIEW OF TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY (TIS) FOR THE PROPOSED Tract 5966 at the Northwest Corner of International and Chestnut ' TIS10-001 dated December 8, 2009 received by Traffic Engineering January 6, 2010 We reviewed the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) by TJKM for the proposed subject project which consists of approximately 38.6 acres of residential and 181 Single Family Dwelling Units. This equates to approximately 4.6 units per acre which is under developing this property from what is allowed by zoning. GENERAL COMMENTS and CONDITIONS 1. The trip generation based on ITE Trip Generation Manual is acceptable. The proposed project is projected to generate 1,732 daily trips, 136 trips during the AM peak hour and 183 trips during the PM peak hour. 2. The project shall pay its Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact (TSMI) Fee of $450.94 per DU (based on $47.12/ADT times 9.57 ADT/DU) at the time of building permit based on the trip generation rate(s) as set forth in the latest edition of the ITE Generation Manual and the Master Fee Schedule. The TSMI fee based on the project description above is 81,619.85. This TSMI fee is credited against signal installation and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) improvements (constructed at their ultimate location) anticipated to build out the 2025 General Plan circulation element and included in the Nexus Study for the TSMI fee. Project specific impacts that are not consistent with the 2025 General Plan, Public Works P69 standards, and/or already incorporated into the TSMI fees infrastructure costs are not reimbursable unless the City Engineer and City Traffic Engineer include the new traffic signal and/or ITS infrastructure in the next update and the applicant agrees to pay the new calculated TSMI fee that includes the new infrastructure. Failure to pay this fee or construct improvements that are credited/reimbursable with this fee will result in a significant unmitigated impact as this fee is applied to all projects within the City Sphere of Influence. If the applicant is conditioned with improvements that are credited/reimbursable with this fee they should work with the Department of Public Works and identify with a Professional Engineers estimate the costs associated with the improvements prior to paying the TSMI fee at time of building permit. 3. This project shall pay its Fresno Major Street Impact (FMSI) Fee which will be determined at time of building permit. This FMSI fee is creditable towards major street roadway improvements included in the nexus study for the FMSI fee. 4. The project shall pay State of California Department of Transportation fees as determined by Caltrans. The fees will be collected and are payable to the City of Fresno Traffic Engineering Division. A receipt must be shown to the Planning and Development Department Land Division and/or Building Permit Division prior to issuing Building Permits.City of Fresno Traffic Engineering find it interesting that no trips from this project will be utilizing two of the movements at the Frlant/SR 41 interchange. Due to the ramp metering and congestion on Friant Road, many motorists in northeast Fresno divert to Nees Avenue undercrossing of SR 41 and then northbound on Blackstone Avenue.This driver behavior is not reflected in the model. 5. The project shall pay the Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee(RTMF) Pay the RTMF fee to the Joint Powers Agency located at 2035 Tulare Street,Suite 201,Fresno,CA 93721;(559)233-4148, ext.200;www.fresnocog.org. Provide proof of payment or exemption prior to issuance of building permits.If applicable based on vesting rights. The project shall construct left-turn lanes at all four approaches at the intersection of Blythe and Dakota to improve operations and access from the adjacent residential neighborhoods to the Shopping Center. 7. This project shall work with the local school district Clovis Unified and adjacent school principals at the high school and middle school at the Clovis North Campus bound by International,Willow and Chestnut to identify a Safe Route to School. 8. This project shall construct 6 ft wide major street sidewalks on International and Chestnut Avenues to connect with adjacent sidewalks in both directions.Temporary Sidewalk installation can be used across property that is not a part of this tract map. 9. This project shall construct bike lanes on International and Chestnut Avenues to connect with adjacent bike lanes in both directions. The bike lanes shall meet City of Fresno Public Works Standards. 10. While the Highway Capacity Manual procedures for analysis of all-way stop-controlled intersections limit the number of lanes on each approach to two lanes,this does not necessary mean that the intersection would operate better than what is suggested in the TIS. Based on field observations, all-ways stop controlled intersections especially with multiple lane approaches do not function well based on local driver behavior and practices.These are not reflective in the HCM procedures. In addition the multiple lane approaches at an all-way stop sign controlled intersection create right-of- way challenges for motorists and pedestrian conflicts especially around three campuses (High School,Middle School,and Junior College).This intersection experiences extreme peaking of traffic due to start and release times that are not reflective in the peak hour factors. In the near-term scenario the Willow/Copper northwest corner General Plan Amendment and office project at southwest corner of Copper/Chestnut were not included.With the addition of this nearly 200 unit subdivision along with additional subdivisions to the north Traffic Engineering staff project that the intersection of Chestnut and International will at least meet traffic signal warrants for pedestrian volumes. We have had some major school aged pedestrian and vehicle accidents as well. As a result, Traffic Engineering is conditioning this tract map to install the traffic signal at International/Chestnut intersection. This traffic signal is reimbursable and creditable to the TSMI fee. No access from the subdivision will be permitted to Chestnut Avenue until such time that the traffic signal is installed and operational. 11. This project shall construct Chestnut Avenue with a minimum of two lanes and a two way left-turn lane from International to Copper Avenue. Other projects are also conditioned with these improvements so there are opportunities for cost sharing. The project shall be allowed to develop a total of 100 dwelling units with access to both International and Chestnut Avenue without the connection of Chestnut to Copper Avenue. At 100 dwelling units no further access from the subdivision will be permitted to Chestnut Avenue until such time that Chestnut Avenue is connected from International to Copper Avenue. 12. The project shall construct a second through lane for the westbound approach at Chestnut/International intersection (the approach will then have one left-turn lane, two through lanes,and one right-turn lane). 13. The project shall construct a separate left-turn lane for the eastbound approach at Chestnut/International intersection (the approach will then have one left-turn lane, two through lanes,and one right-turn lane). 14. This project shall construct a second northbound through lane on Chestnut through the intersection of Chestnut/international Avenues (the approach will then have one left-turn lane, two through lanes,and one right-turn lane). 15. The proposed project shall make necessary improvements and right-of-way dedications along adjacent public streets as per City of Fresno requirements. 16. This project subdivision design shall be further reviewed and approved by the City Traffic Engineer.

APN:578-010-14 Zoning:R-1/UGM Address:10505 North Chestnut Avenue Recommended Conditions of Approval: • Construction permits for the 182-lot residential subdivision should be subject to assurance of sewer capacity of the Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. Concurrence should be obtained from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board(RWQCB). For more information,contact staff at(559)445-5116. • Construction permits for the 182-lot residential subdivision should be subject to assurance that the City of Fresno community water system has the capacity and quality to serve this project. Concurrence should be obtained from the State Department of Health Services, Division of Drinking Water and Environmental Management(DDWEM). For more information call(559)447-3300. • The Fresno County Department of Public Health is concerned that abandoned water wells are not being properly destroyed,particularly with respect to new development projects. As city boundaries expand,community services are provided to areas originally served only by individual domestic and agricultural wells. Improper abandonment of such wells presents a significant risk of contaminating the city's community water supply. For this reason,when development occurs,it is extremely important to ensure the safe and proper destruction of all abandoned water wells. Prior to destruction of any existing agricultural well(s),a sample of the upper most fluid in the well column should be sampled for lubricating oil. The presence of oil staining around the well may indicate the use of lubricating oil to maintain the well pump. Should lubricating oil be found in the well,the oil should be removed from the well prior to placement of fill material for destruction. The"oily water"removed from the well must be handled in 1221 Fulton Mall/P.O.Box 11867/Fresno,Califomia 93775/(559)445-3357/FAX(559)445.3379 Nisi 1; ployntem Oppo—ily-Affl m ,Acrmi•Dl.mw Employe, Will Tackett T-5953,C-09-280 January 21,2010 Page 2 of 2 accordance with federal,state and local government requirements. Transportation of these materials on public roadways may require special permits and licensure. The Department of Public Health is available to provide consultation in cooperation with your city in order to encourage the proper destruction of wells and safeguard our water quality. City staff may contact Wayne Fox,Supervising Environmental Health Specialist,Water Surveillance Program,at(559)445-3357 for more information. • Due to the proximity of the proposed residential uses to an existing thoroughfare, consideration should be given to conformance with the Noise Element of the City of Fresno General Plan. A noise study should be conducted in order to identify the potential noise impacts and offer mitigation alternatives. • Appropriate measures should be incorporated into the project to minimize potentially significant short-term localized noise impacts to noise sensitive receivers caused by the operation of construction equipment. Construction specifications for the project should require that all construction equipment be maintained according to the manufacturers' specifications,and that noise generating construction equipment be equipped with mufflers. In addition,consideration should be given to limiting noise-generating construction activities to daytime hours as specified in your municipal code. REVIEWED BY: Janet Gardner a rtro R.E.H.S.,M.P.H.

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. For informational purposes, a private canal known as the Phillips No. 158 traverses the subject parcel as shown on the attached FID exhibit map. FID does not own, operate or maintain this private canal. This is an active canal and will need to remain in service. FID can provide a list of water users on this canal upon request. 4. 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. 5. FID is concerned that the proposed development may negatively impact local groundwater supplies including those areas adjacent to or neighboring the proposed BOARD OF Presldant JEFFREY G. BOSWELL, Vice-President JEFF NEELY DIRECTORS STEVE BALLS, RYAN JACOBSEN, GEORGE PORTER, Generat rAanager GARY R.SERRATO Mr.Will Tackelt Re: TM 5966, CUP C-09-280 February 2, 2010 Page 2 of 2 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 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 the 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. 6. It is unclear if the source of water for this development is solely groundwater or a mixture of treated surface water from FID's Enterprise Canal. If treated surface water will be used, the City must acquire additional water from a water purveyor, such as FID for that purpose, so as to not reduce water supplies to or create water supply deficits in other areas of the City. Water supply issues must be resolved before any further"hardening" of the water supply demand is allowed to tape place. 7. 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. 8. The City of Fresno and FID 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 subject property is currently zoned under the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district classification. According to Table 2(Planned Land Use and Zone District Consistency Matrix)of the 2025 Fresno General Plan,the existing R-1 (Single Family Residential zone district for the subject property and the proposed overall density of 5.09 dwelling units/acre are consistent with the Medium-Low Density Residential planned land use designation. Finding of Conformity Under MEIR No.10130 Environmental Assessment No.C-09-280/T-5966 January 15,2010 Page 2 Conformance to Master Environmental Impact Report(MEIR)NO.10130: The Planning and Development Department staff has prepared an initial study and environmental checklist and evaluated the above-described project in accordance with the land use and environmental policies and provisions of the 2025 Fresno General Plan, the related Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR) No. 10130 (SCH # 2001071097), and Mitigated Negative Declaration(MND)No.A-09-02(SCH#2009051016). The subject property is currently developed with one single family residence and the proposed project will be developed at an intensity and scale that is permitted by the planned land use and proposed zoning designation for the site. Thus,the proposed planned development subdivision project 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 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 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;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 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-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 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 attached Environmental Assessment Checklist), or MND 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 or MND. The site is an approximately 35.79 net acre parcel located on the northwest corner of the intersection of East International and North Chestnut Avenues, within a predominately urbanized area(single family residences have been developed on three sides; and, High School campus developed on fourth side of subject property). There is no evidence that the site contains any habitats 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 this site. As such,the MEIR's and MND'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 proposed single family residential planned development and the expected traffic generation will not adversely impact the existing and projected circulation system as analyzed in MEIR No. 10130. There is no evidence that this site is subject to flooding,contains any hazardous materials,or that the project will generate or release hazardous substances beyond those already analyzed by the MEIR or MND,or result in an adverse change in course of flow of flood waters. Finally,new urban developments comprised of single family residences and a high school campus have already occurred on all sides of the subject property. As such,there is no evidence that this project will have any visual impacts on any scenic vistas or views. Thus,the scope of the work and impacts to the site and surrounding area were fully analyzed under the MEIR and MND. 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 or MND,as explained above. Therefore,the project proposal is within the scope of the MEIR and MND as defined by Section 15177 of the CEQA Guidelines. 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,or the MND adopted;and that no new relevant information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time that the MEIR was certified as complete or the MND was adopted,has become available. A review summary to the 2025 Fresno General Plan is attached to this Initial Study as reference. 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 MND No.A-09-02 shall apply to the project proposal as noted in the attached mitigation monitoring checklist.
