EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Gary G. Giannetta Civil Engineering & Land Surveying, on behalf of APN Investments, LLC., property
owner, has filed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967 pertaining to approximately 1.83 net acres (1.97
gross acres) of property located on the east side of North Polk Avenue between West Shaw and west
Gettysburg Avenues.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967 proposes to subdivide the subject property for the purposes of
creating a 12-lot conventional single family residential public street phased development at an overall
density of approximately 6.56 dwelling units/per acre. An approximately 5.86 acre portion of the subject
property is also proposed to be designated as a Remainder parcel in order to facilitate the phased
development of the subject property in accordance with Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5599, which
was previously approved for the Remainder portion of the subject property.
The subject property is currently zoned under the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zone district
classification. The subject property is located within the boundaries of the 2025 Fresno General Plan,
West Area Community Plan, and Highway City Neighborhood Specific Plan, which designate the subject
property for Medium Density Residential (4.99-10.37 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

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
The Planning and Development Department staff have prepared an initial study and environmental
checklist and evaluated the proposed development 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 has been proposed to be developed at an intensity and
scale that is permitted by the Medium Density Residential (4.99-10.37 dwelling units/acre) planned land
use designation and existing R-1 (Single Family Residential) zone district classification for the subject
site. Thus, the subdivision of the subject property in accordance with Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
5967 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 HIND 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 NIEIR 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 NIEIR 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 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 NIND 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 March 05, 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 NIEIR 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 NIEIR was certified as complete or the MND was adopted, has become available.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
Gary G. Giannetta Civil Engineering & Land Surveying, on behalf of APN Investments, LLC., property
owner, has filed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967 pertaining to approximately 1.83 net acres (1.97
gross acres) of property located on the east side of North Polk Avenue between West Shaw and west
Gettysburg Avenues.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967 proposes to subdivide the subject property for the purposes of
creating a 12-lot conventional single family residential public street phased development at an overall
density of approximately 6.56 dwelling units/per acre. An approximately 5.86 acre portion of the subject
property is also proposed to be designated as a Remainder parcel in order to facilitate the phased
development of the subject property in accordance with Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5599, which
was previously approved for the Remainder portion of the subject property.
The subject property is currently zoned under the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zone district
classification. The subject property is located within the boundaries of the 2025 Fresno General Plan,
West Area Community Plan, and Highway City Neighborhood Specific Plan, which designate the subject
property for Medium Density Residential (4.99-10.37 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
6.56 dwelling units per acre may be found to be consistent with the Medium Density Residential planned
land use designation.

The subject property and adjacent properties located to the north and south of the subject property
remain vacant. Property located further to the south and west of the proposed Remainder parcel has
been developed and is being utilized by the Central Community Church and the Fresno County
Economic Opportunities Commission (FCEOC) Molly Nevarez "Head Start" Preschool Program.
Properties located directly to the west of the subject property and across North Polk Avenue have been
developed with single family residences within the Medium-Low density range (2.19-6.00 dwelling units
per acre) as part of Tract 4339 (recorded 1995). Also, located to the southwest, across North Polk
Avenue, is Teague Elementary School. Property located to the east of the proposed Remainder parcel
has been developed as a mobile home park.
On November 28, 2006, the Fresno City Council approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5599 for the
Remainder portion of the subject property; and, adjacent property located to the immediate north and
east of the subject property. Approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5599 authorized subdivision
for a proposed 65-lot conventional single family residential public street phased development (please
reference illustrations below for further information).
On April 29, 2009 the City of Fresno approved Lot Line Adjustment No. 2009-02 (LLA-09-02) for the
purpose of facilitating a transfer of ownership between the subject property owner, ABN Investments,
LLC., and the interests in the ownership and use of the Central Community Church property located to
the south of the subject property. The transfer of ownership occurred as an amiable and mutually
beneficial agreement between the parties in order to capitalize on an opportunity to "swap" land
holdings; thereby creating contiguous portions of developable land for each respective interest (please
see illustrations below).

Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967
June 02, 2010
Page 7
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967 proposes lots which are comparable in size and consistent in
treatment with those lots approved as part of Tract 5599. The 12-lots proposed by Vesting Tentative
Tract Map No. 5967 are situated on the south side of the entryway street from North Polk Avenue (West
Acacia Avenue), which was approved for dedication with Tract 5599; providing an appropriate balance
for the entryway streetscape, which will "complete" the previously approved subdivision in a uniform
fashion.
It should also be noted that due to requirements for: (1) Provision of a second point of access for
emergency vehicles; (2) Accommodations for solid waste service vehicles; (3) Sewer extensions and
connections; (4) Provision of two independent sources of water; (5) Adequate drainage to existing
Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District Master Plan facilities located to the south; and, in
consideration of limiting the amount of temporary facilities that would otherwise be required to serve the
tract, staff in consultation with the project engineer has placed a condition requiring that the adjacent
Tract 5599 record first, in its entirety. Therefore, Tract 5967 may be considered a latter "phase" of Tract
5599; and all required dedications and improvements will essentially have been previously satisfied
through dedications, securities and construction afforded by the prior recordation and subdivision of
Tract 5599.
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 on-site sanitary sewer main
connections and extensions and the construction and installation of public water facilities and
infrastructure in accordance with Department of Public Works standards, specifications and policies;
including 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 two miles of City of Fresno Fire Station No. 16. 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 demonstrating and designing street
grading for the safe conveyance of runoff to existing FMFCD "Master Plan Facilities" located within Tract
4217 to the south. 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 Fresno Irrigation District's (FID) Teague School Canal also traverses the western portion of the
subject property within a 15-foot wide easement along the east side of North Polk Avenue. FID has
required that the existing cast-in-place monolithic non-reinforced pipe which was installed in 1962 be
replaced with new Rubber Gasketed Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RGRCP).
Streets and Access Points
The project is a public street development proposing one major street entryway that will provide
principal access from North Polk Avenue. Secondary points of access will also be afforded through
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967
June 02, 2010
Page 8
adjacent subdivisions (i.e., Tract 5599, Tract 2842 to north, and Tract 4217 to south); including a
connection to West Gettysburg Avenue to the south. The 2025 Fresno General Plan Circulation
Element designates North Polk Avenue as an "Arterial" street. 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.
Interior local streets are proposed to be dedicated for public use and will utilize a 50-foot wide street
right-of-way section. The 50-foot wide street right-of-way section provides for vehicular parking and
sidewalks on both sides of streets and an option between monolithic sidewalks or inclusion of parkway
landscaping.
The Public Works Department, Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed vesting tentative
tract map application 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 memorandum dated April 29, 2010. These improvement and dedication requirements generally
include the dedication and improvement of adjacent portions of North Polk Avenue including: design and
construction of a partial median opening (to allow for right-in, right-out and left-in turns only) at the
intersection of North Polk Avenue with West Acacia Avenue; construction of center section travel lanes
and raised concrete median from the limits of the subdivision north to essentially West Santa Ana
Avenue; and, the provision of a minimum 4-foot wide asphalt path across adjacent properties to the
south (i.e. adjacent "church" properties)where sidewalk is missing.
The project will 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 project will also be
required to pay all applicable New Growth Area fees (Fresno Major Street Impact (FMSI) Fee and City-
wide regional street impact fees. The proposed map was formally accepted on December 17, 2009 and
is therefore vested against the Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee (RTMF).
Furthermore, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of
Intergovernmental Relations has reviewed the vesting tentative tract map application. Caltrans has
provided a response of "no comment" indicating that this project is not responsible for a fair share
contribution to mitigate for project-related impacts to the State Highway System per 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.)
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.
LandscapingMalls
Given that the proposed subdivision is located adjacent to and abutting a major street (North Polk
Avenue) within the boundaries of the West Area Community Plan, the development will be required to
install landscaping within a minimum 20-foot wide buffer strip along the North Polk Avenue arterial street
frontage.
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967
June 02, 2010
Page 9
A solid masonry sound attenuation walls will be required to be constructed along the North Polk Avenue
frontage, at the rear of the landscaped buffer to mitigate noise from the major street.
All interior local street frontages of proposed lots will contain a combination of pedestrian easements as
well as minimum 10-foot wide planting and public utilities easements. Consistent with the requirements
of Tract 5599, staff has also conditioned this map with a requirement for the provisions of two trees in
the front yards of each residential lot; one of which will be required to be planted to shade the sidewalk.
Two street trees will also be required on the street side yards of all tract lots which have designated
landscape easements in order to facilitate and enhance pedestrian use and the streetscape experience.
District 1 Plan Implementation Committee
The District 1 Plan Implementation Committee unanimously recommended approval of Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 5967 at its regular scheduled meeting held on February 23, 2010 subject to
staff's recommendation that Tract 5599 record first in phasing order; and, that a safe route to school
from adjacent property to the east be retained.
City of Fresno Planning and Development and Public Works Traffic Engineering staff did meet with
representatives of the property owner and the adjacent Central Community Church property. Based
upon previous negotiations and concerted efforts, the working relationship between the two entities with
consideration to future planning for the area was evident. The existing path being used by children
living within the adjacent mobile home park to the east of the subject property was a topic of discussion
respective to the future connectivity of the area. Staff has received assurance from both the subject
property owner and church interests that a collaborative effort will be made to assure that a "safe route
to school" from the adjacent mobile home park will be retained through the future planning and
development of the respective properties.
Tentative Tract Map Findings
The Subdivision IVlap Act (California Government Code Section 66400 et. seq.) requires that a proposed
subdivision not be approved unless the map, together with its design and improvements, is found to be
consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan (Finding No. 1 below).
State law further provides that the proposed subdivision map be denied if any one of the Finding
Nos. 2 - 5 below is made in the negative. In addition, State law requires that a subdivision be found to
provide for future passive and natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision development
(Finding No. 6 below).
1. The proposed subdivision map, together with its design and improvements, is consistent with the
City's 2025 Fresno General Plan and West Area Community Plan which designate the site for
Medium Density (4.99-10.37 dwelling units/acre) 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

REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967
June 02, 2010
Page 10
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. 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 vesting tentative tract map is final unless appealed in
accordance with the Fresno Municipal Code, Section 12-1019.

to the northerly limits of T-4217. (State Street to San Gabriel to Barcus) Center line of proposed
street shall be constructed with reverse curves (a minimum of 250' radii).
Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact (TSMI) Fee:
This project shall pay the current Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact Fee (TSMI Fee) 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
for single family units (fee rate as shown in the Master Fee Schedule).
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.
Fresno Maior Street Impact (FMSI) Fee :

RE: Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967
FID's Teague School Canal No. 46, S/E Shaw and Polk Avenues
Dear Mr. Tackett:
The Fresno Irrigation District (FID) has reviewed the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
5967 application to divide 1.97 acres into a 12 lot single family residential public street
phased development located southeast of Shaw and Polk Avenues, APN 510-030-24,
and has the following comments and conditions:
1. FID's Teague School Canal traverses the east side of Polk Avenue in an
exclusive 15-foot wide easement recorded on January 4, 1963 as Document No.
980, Official Records of Fresno County, as shown on the attached FID exhibit
map.
2. The pipeline was installed in 1962 as 30-inch diameter cast-in-place monolithic
concrete pipe (CIP). CIP is a non-reinforced pipe that is easily damaged,
extremely prone to leakage and does not meet FID's minimum standards for
urban areas.
3. FID requires the applicant replace the existing pipeline with new 30-inch diameter
ASTM C-361 Rubber Gasket Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RGRCP) in accordance
with FID standards and that the applicant enter into an agreement with FID for
that purpose.
4. Should the pipeline need to be placed in a different alignment, FID will require
the applicant and/or the applicant's engineer meet with FID at their earliest
convenience to discuss specific requirements; e.g. easement width and

Mr. Will Tackett
Re: TM 5967
February 19, 2010
Page 2 of 2
alignment, right-of-way width and alignment, pipeline alignment, depth and size,
fees, etc.
5. FID does not allow FID owned property or easements to be in common use with
public utility easements but will, in certain instances, allow its property to be in
common use with landscape easements if the City of Fresno enters into an
appropriate agreement with FID.
6. FID requires its easement be shown on the map with proper recording
information, and that FID be made a party to signing all plans which affect its
easement and canal/pipeline facility and also be made party to signing the final
map.
7. FID requires the applicant submit a grading and drainage plan for FID approval
which shows that the proposed development will not endanger the structural
integrity of the pipeline, or result in drainage patterns that will adversely affect
FID or the applicant.
8. The proposed development may negatively impact local groundwater supplies.
The area is currently agricultural land and a significant portion of its water supply
is 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 irriported surface water to groundwater, this deficit will increase. FID
suggests the City 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.
Thank you for submitting this for our review. We appreciate the opportunity to review
and comment on the subject documents for the proposed project. If you have any
questions please feel free to contact James Shields at 233-7161 extension 319 or
jshields@fresnoirrigation.com.

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
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.
• 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.

Subject: Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5967
East side of Polk Avenue between Shaw and Gettysburg Avenues
Dear Mr. Tackett:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to your request for comment on the above-
referenced application, which would allow for the development of a 12-lot single family
residential public street phased development on 1.83 net acres with an approximately 5.85
acre remainder parcel. The property is currently zoned R-1 and planned for Medium
Density Residential (4.99-10.37 units per acre).
Based on current District student generation rates, 12 single family units would generate 6
students in grades K-6, 2 students in grades 7-8 and 2 students in grades 9-12. These
students will need to be housed in District schools.
The schools currently serving this site are Teague Elementary School, Rio Vista Middle
School, Central West High School for grade 9 and either Central West or Central East for
grades 10-12. Capacity currently exists at these schools to accommodate students from
this project.
The District currently charges a school facilities fee of $2.97 per square foot for
residential development. New development on the site will be subject to the fee in place
at the time the fee is paid.
Thank you for the opportuni to comment.
Sincerely,
L L'`

Project Description:
Gary G. Giannetta Civil Engineering & Land Surveying, on behalf of ABN Investments, LLC., pertains to approximately
1.83 net acres (1.97 gross acres) of property located on the east side of North Polk Avenue between West Shaw and
West Gettysburg Avenues. Vesting Tentative Tract map No. 5967 requests authorization to subdivide the subject
property for the purposes of a 12-lot single family residential public street phased development; and, the designation of
an approximately 5.85 acre Remainder parcel at an overall density of approximately 6.56 dwelling units per acre.
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the 2025 Fresno General Plan, West Area Community Plan
and Highway City Neighborhood Specific Plan. These plans designate the subject property for Medium Density
Residential (4.99-10.37 dwelling units/acre) planned land uses. The subject property is currently zoned under the R-1
(Single Family Residential) 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 6.56 dwelling units/acre are consistent with the Medium Density
Residential planned land use designation.
Conformance to Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR) NO. 10130:
The adopted 2025 Fresno General Plan and the West Area Community Plan designate the subject site for Medium
Density Residential (4.99-10.37 dwelling units/acre) planned land uses. 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 6.56 dwelling units/acre are consistent with the
Medium Density Residential planned land use designation.
The Planning and Development 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 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). The subject property is
currently vacant land but-may be further 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 vesting tentative tract map 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 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

significant effects beyond those identified by MEIR No. 10130 as provided by CEQA Guidelines 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
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 designation, include impacts associated with the Medium 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 because it will not generate additional
significant effects on the environment not previously examined and analyzed by the MEIR or Air Quality NIND 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 NIND 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).
