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 Decalaration (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-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).

Pursuant to Section 21157.1 of the California Public Resources Code (California Environmental Quality
Act), it may be determined that a subsequent project, as identified in the MEIR pursuant to Section
21157(b)(2) of the Public Resources Code and CEQA Guidelines Section 15177, falls within the scope
of a MEIR, provided that the project does not cause significant impacts on the environment that were not
previously examined by the MEIR. Relative to the specific project proposal, the environmental impacts
noted in the MEIR, pursuant to the 2025 Fresno General Plan land use designation, include impacts
associated with the Medium-Low Density Residential planned land use designation specified for the
subject property. Based on the initial study prepared, the following findings are made: (1) The
proposed project was identified as a Subsequent Project in MEIR No. 10130 because its land use
designation and permissible densities and intensities are set forth in Figure 1-1 of MEIR No. 10130; (2)
The proposed project will not generate additional significant effects not previously identified and
analyzed by the MEIR or MND No. A-09-02 (as indicated on the attached Environmental Assessment
Checklist) 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 addil:ion,
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.

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 Irripact 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 Facilil:ies" 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

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.

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 Outlots for use as landscaped
pedestrian connections/walkways in order to link the neighborhood to reach destinations such as the
adjacent school. The proposed Outlots 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 Outlots "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.
District 2 Plan Implementation Committee
The District 6 Plan Implementation Committee unanimously recommended approval of the proposed
project at its regular meeting held January 11, 2010. No recommendations were provided from the
Committee respective to this project.
Conditional Use Permit Findings
Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-09-280 provides for the development of a 182-lot, single
family residential public street planned development with two Outlots proposed to be dedicated for
public open space purposes; and, modified lot area, lot dimension, lot coverage, and building setback
requirements at an overall density of approximately 5.09 dwelling units/per acre. 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

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 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
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,
IStaff from the Public Works Department, Transportation Planning section has estimated
Finding
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

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.

requirements set by the City of Fresno.
e. Upon acceptance of the required work,warranty security shall be furnished to or retained
by the city for guaranty and warranty of the work for a period of ninety days following
acceptance.
BUFFER LANDSCAPING & MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The subdivider shall provide longterm maintenance for all proposed landscaped areas by either
petitioning for annexation in the Community Facilities District or by some other mechanism
approved by the City.
2. Maintenance Service Through Annexation into the Community Facilities District.
Landscape and Irrigation plans are required to be submitted to the Department of Public
Works for review and approval. The Plans shall be considered technically correct prior to
the annexation request and the Council approval of the final map. Plans shall be numbered
to conform to and be included in the Department of Public Works street construction plan
set for the final map. Fees are applicable when the subdivider elects to have landscaping
maintained by annexing into the City's Community Facilities District.
A. Landscaping shall comply with Landscape Buffer Development Standards approved by
the City Council on October 2, 1990. Landscape and irrigation plans shall comply with
Sections 12-306-23&24 and 14-121 of the Fresno Municipal Code and AB 1881 regarding
Water Efficient Landscaping and Buffer landscaping.
B. Should the proposed landscape buffers and/or parkway strips be located next to an
existing buffer and/or parkway strip, the planting concept shall simulate the adjacent
landscape design to present a more uniform appearance on the street. Variances in the
landscape concept will be acceptable, but the design of the new landscape buffer and/or
parkway strip shall strive to mimic the existing as much as possible.
C. Landscape plans shall indicate grades on a cross-section detail to include fencing or wall
details. All fencing shall be placed outside the landscape easement. Maximum slopes shall
not exceed 4:1 with 1 foot of level ground between the slope and the back of the side walk

within the City- controlled easement or on the fence or wall facing the street.
F. Landscaping in the right-of-way and landscape setback adjacent to water well sites shall
be the responsibility of the City of Fresno Water Division and may not be included in the
CFD.
MEDIAN ISLAND LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS
1. When median islands front onto the proposed development project, applicants shall
submit Plans to -the Public Works/Engineering Services showing the location and
configuration of all median islands fronting the proposed project.
2. Landscape and irrigation is required on all new construction of median islands and shall be
applied in accordance with the City of Fresno, Public Works Department Standards &
Specifications and FMC sections 12-306-24 and 12-306-23. The Public Works Department
requires all proposed median islands to be constructed with 12" wide colored concrete strips
adjacent to the curbing (except for entry medians of 12' or less).
3. Trees shall not be planted in sections which are less than eight (8) feet wide unless
approved by the Public Works Department. Sections less than eight(8)feet shall be capped
with concrete as an integral part of the off site improvements, whether the median is
landscaped or not.
OUTLOTS
1. The Department of Public Works will not be responsible for the maintenance of any outlots
if they are not included into the Community Facilities District (CFD). If the outlots are to be

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 Irnpact (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
Friant/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.
S. 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.
6. 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.

Dear Mr. Tackett:
PROJECT NUMBER: T-5966/UGM, C-09-280
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION: Proposes a 182-lot single-family residential
subdivision on 38.61-acres located on the northeast corner of the intersection of East
International and North Chestnut Avenues.
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

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.

RE: Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5966, Conditional Use Permit No. C-09-280
Phillips Canal No. 158 (Private), N/W International and Chestnut Avenues
Dear Mr. Tackett:
The Fresno Irrigation District (FID) has reviewed the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5966 and
Conditional Use Permit No. C-09-280 applications, being filed concurrently, to divide 35.79
acres into an 182 lot single family residential public street planned development located at the
northwest corner of East International and North Chestnut Avenues, APN 578-010-14, and has
the following comments:
1. FID does not own, operate, or maintain any facilities located within the limits of the
proposed development as indicated on the attached FID exhibit map.
2. The proposed development appears to be within the City of Fresno's Sphere of Influence
but lies outside FID's boundary line. The development is not entitled to water from the
Kings River.
3. 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

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 take 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. If you have any questions please
feel free to contact James Shields at 233-7161 extension 319 or jshields@fresnoirrigation.com.

William R. Stretch, P.E.

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.
