EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Subdivider, GVM Development, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company, by Granville
Management, Inc., a California Corporation, Manager (Darius Assemi, Senior Vice President), has
filed for approval, the Final Map of Tract No. 6037, Phase 2 of Vesting Tentative Map No. 5597 for a
56-lot single-family residential subdivision, located on the northeast corner of North Garfield Avenue
and West Barstow Avenue on 11.65 acres. The Final Map is technically correct and conforms to the
approved Vesting Tentative Map No. 5597 dated August 15, 2007 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
Division 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.
BACKGROUND
The Fresno City Planning Commission on August 15, 2007 adopted Resolution No. 12726 approving
Vesting Tentative Map No. 5597 (Tentative Map) for a 214-lot single-family residential subdivision on
41.5 acres at an overall density of 5.2 units per acre. The Development and Resource Management
Department on June 4, 2012 approved a revision to Vesting Tentative Map No. 5597 reducing the
number of lots from 214 to 211. The Development and Resource Management Department on
September 9, 2013 approved a revision to Vesting Tentative Map No. 5597 reducing the number of
lots from 211 to 204. 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. 5597 with the 2025 General Plan and the West Area Community Plan to comply with the
provisions of the Subdivision Map Act. The approval of Vesting Tentative Map No. 5597 will expire
on August 15, 2023,
The Final Map has been reviewed and deemed to be technically correct. The Subdivider has
satisfied all other conditions of approval by executing the Subdivision Agreement for Tract No. 6037,
submitted securities in the total amount of $642,000.00 to guarantee the completion and acceptance
of the public improvements and $321,000.00 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
$94,392.04. Covenants have been executed to defer eligible development impact fees totaling
$363,203.73 to the time of issuance of building permit and final occupancy of each unit, for annual
CFD-11 assessment notification, for temporary storm drainage facilities, for special solid waste
disposal services and for acknowledging right to farm law.
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Adopt Resolution Approving Final Map of Tract No. 6037
October 10, 2013

MAINTENANCE DISTRICT: A condition of approval of the Tentative Map is to maintain the
landscaped areas and irrigation systems, trees, concrete curbs and gutters, valley gutters, traffic
calming, sidewalks, curb ramps, interior local street paving, street name signage and street lighting
within and adjacent to the Final Map 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 September 26, 2013.
The Subdivider has executed the covenant for Maintenance of Certain Improvements 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 $841.54 per lot with an
annual 3% adjustment plus the increase, if any, in the construction cost index for the San Francisco
Region.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no impact to the City's General Fund. Approval 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 Public Works Department.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No. R-05-941T-55971C-05-239 considered
potential environmental impacts associated with the subject rezone application and subdivision map
request. The study indicates that the project, if approved, would conform to the land use designation
and land use policies of the 2425 Fresno General Plan and is within the scope of Master Environmental
Impact Report No. 10130. Therefore, staff has issued a finding that the project proposal is
in conformance to the 2025 Fresno General Plan Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR)
No. 10130 dated November 27, 2006, which incorporates a MEIR Mitigation Monitoring Checklist. This
environmental finding was properly noticed with no comments filed within the 20-day review and
comment period.
BACKGROUND 1 ANALYSIS
The applicant, Granville Homes, Inc., has flied Rezone Application No. R-05-94 and Vesting Tentative
Tract Map No. 55971UGM for approximately 69.57 (net) acres of property located on the north side of
West Barstow Avenue between North Garfield and North Grantland Avenues. The rezone application
proposes to reclassify the subject property'from the R-R (County) zone district to the R-11UGM (Single
Family Residential/Urban Growth Management), R-A/UGM (Single Family Residential-
Agricultural/Urban Growth Management) and R-2/UGM (Low Density.Multiple Family Residential/Urban
Growth Management) zone district. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 55971UGM proposes to subdivide
41.5 acres of the subject site into a 214-tot single family residential planned development subdivision at
an overall density of`5 .2 dwelling units per acre.
On November 19, 2002, the City Council, through Resolution No. 2002-379, adopted the 2425 Fresno
General Plan which also adopted the Vilest Area Community Plan. The West Area Community Plan
designates the subject property for medium low density residential (2.19 to 4.98 dwelling units per acre),
medium high density residential (10.38 to 18.15 dwelling units per acre) and open space land uses. The
applicant wishes to pursue deveiopment of a portion of the subject property with 214 singie family
homes. The requested R-11UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district
is considered consistent with the medium low and medium high density residential land use
designations, pursuant to Section 12-403 B-2 of the Fresno Municipal Code. Furthermore, the proposed
development with a.density of 5.2 dwelling units per acre demonstrates that the project site will be
developed:within the overall density of dwelling units anticipated by the 2025 Fresno General Plan and
West Area Community Plan.

The requested R-AlUGM (Single Family Residential-AgriculturallUrhan Growth Management) zone
district is considered consistent with the open space-ponding basin pian designation and the requested
R-2IUGM (Low Density Multiple Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district is
considered consistent with the medium high density residential plan designation.
Rezone Application No. R-05-94
The rezone application involves approximately 69.5 acres and includes the subdivision proposed by
Vesting Tentative Tract No. 5597 as well as the ponding basin on the north side of Barstow Avenue
west of the proposed subdivision and the four rural residential parcels which front onto North Grantland
Avenue near the northwest corner of West Barstow and North Grantland Avenues_
Based on discussions with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) and Fresno County staff,
it was determined that in order to provide orderly boundaries for the annexation of the subdivision map
proposed by Vesting Tentative Tract No. 5597, it would be necessary to include the ponding basin on
the north side of Barstow Avenue and the four rural residential parcels which front onto Grantland
Avenue within the annexation. Since state law requires all properties to be zoned, prior to them being
annexed into the City, the ponding basin and four rural residential parcels have been added to the
rezone application.
West Area Community Plan Advisory Committee
The West Area Community Plan Advisory Committee reviewed the proposed rezone and tentative tract
map applications at its meeting on August 21, 2006. The Committee recommended approval of the
project by a 4-0 vote,with two members absent.
Water Resources and Public Water Supply
The Water Division of the Department of Public Utilities has determined that there is an adequate source
of water available to serve the project.with the implementation of the UGM service delivery requirements
and environmental impact mitigation measures. The nearest presently available water service line is
located in North Grantland Avenue, to the northwest of the subject property.
The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that permanent flood control
service is currently not available for this project.
Implementation of the 2025 Fresno General Plan policies, mitigation measures of Master Environmental
Impact Report No. 10130, the Water Resources Management Plan, and the mitigation measures
identified by the project environmental assessment/initial study will provide an adequate, reliable and
sustainable wafer supply for the project's urban domestic and public safety consumptive purposes.
Sewage Collection System Capacity
The Cities of Fresno and Clovis share jointly in the treatment capacity of the Fresno-Clovis Regional
Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility, In 1998, the treatment capacity was expanded to
accommodate up to 80 million gallons per day, and was upgraded with modemized equipment to
safeguard against equipment failures. However, in an attempt to serve the anticipated 790,000
metropolitan area population for the year 2025, one or more sub-regional treatment and reclamation
facilities will be required.

The Department of Public Utilities has determined that adequate sanitary sewer service is available to
serve the project, subject to the mitigation measures imposed with the environmental assessment. The
nearest public sanitary sewer main to serve this project is located in North Grantland Avenue.
Central Unified School District
The project site is served by the Central Unified School District and is within the attendance boundaries
of the Herndon-Barstow Elementary School, Rio Vista Middle School and Central High SchookEast
Campus .
Because of the rapid growth occurring within the district's boundaries, the school district has advised the
city that future adjustments of school attendance areas could occur such that students residing in the
proposed project will attend an elementary or middle school other than noted above. Furthermore, the
school district has adopted development fees in accordance with current state law and currently levies a
development fee based on square footage, which the project site will be subject to at the time of
development.
Circulation Element Plan Policies and Major Street System Traffic Capacity
The 2025 Fresno General Plan designates North Garfieid Avenue and East Barstow Avenue as collector
streets, with a 94-foot right-of-way, The applicant will be required to dedicate and construct
improvements on North Garfield, and West Barstow Avenues. Other improvements include the
construction of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and transition paving within the limits of the tract; construction of
an underground street lighting system; and relinquishment of access rights to North Garfield and West
Barstow Avenues for all residential lots adjacent to these major street frontages. These street
improvements are outlined in more detail in the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 55971UGM Conditions
of Approval dated August 15, 2007,
A Traffic Impact Study {TIS} was prepared for the proposed prosect by TJKM dated March 3, 2006. The
proposed development of a 227-tat single family residential subdivision on the 41.5-acre project site can
be expected tvgenerate an average of 2,172 vehicle trips per day (VTD), which includes 1'70 a.m. and
229 p.m. peak hour trips.
An important goal is to maintain acceptable levels of service. along the highway and street network. To
accomplish this, local agencies adopt minimum levels of senrice (LOS) in an attempt to control
congestion that may result as new development occurs. Caltrans' minimum LOS is C except where
prohibitive, according to Information specified in Caltrans' A Guide For Traffic impact Studies. The City
of Fresno's minimum IROS design standard is LOS D. Traffic impacts are considered to occur whenever
the LOS exceeds ❑ on the City street system, or C on the State highway system
The results of the study determined that the intersections of Barstow and Grantland Avenues, Herndon
and Parkway Avenues and Grantland and Parkway Avenues should be signalized with or without the
proposed project. Signalization of these intersections is a condition of approval of this project.
Because the immediately surrounding properties are not developed, the planned major street and
intersection improvements have not.Yet been completed as required by adopted plans, policies and
development standards. However, the proposed project as well as other urban land uses developed as
planned by the 2025 Fresno General Plan will be required to construct the planned major street system
consistent with the public facility and service delivery requirements of the Urban Growth Management

Program. In addition, the developer of this project, in accordance with the mitigation measures of
Master Environmental Impact Report (No. 10130) certified by the Council with the adoption of the 2025
Fresno General Plan, will be required to pay impact fees specific to the traffic sig nalization of the major
street intersections.
State Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
Caltrans submitted the attached correspondence on the project dated July 24, 2006. Caltrans staff
determined that trips generated from this project would impact the Herndon/99 and Shaw/99
interchanges. Applying the formula{s} accepted by the City and the State in the February 23, 2006
Caltrans/City of Fresno interim agreement, Caltrans determined that this project is responsible to pay
$19,983 in State highway facilities fees. This fee has been imposed on this project as a condition of
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No, 55971UGM.
Subdivision Design/Streets and Access Points
This subdivision is proposed to have one access point to West Barstow Avenue and one access point to
North Garfield Avenue. The project also proposes one street connection to the existing development to
the northeast of the project and a stub street for a future connection to the property to the north of the
project, The Public Works Department, Transportation Planning Section has reviewed the rezone
application and tentative tract map. Public Works staff 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
the dedication and improvement of adjacent portions of North Garfield and West Barstow Avenues to
their ultimate planned width.
Landscaping/Open SpacetWalls
Given that the proposed subdivision abuts planned collector (Garfield and Barstow Avenues) streets, the
developer will be required to install 15 feet of landscaping along both North.Garfield and West Barstow
Avenues. In addition, the applicant will be required to install a solid wall at the rear of the required
landscape setback, which-will mitigate the adverse effect of noise generated by vehicles traveling on the
adjacent major streets. Staff is also requiring the project to provide additional landscaping and wrap-
around walls at the entry points of the subdivision from the adjacent major streets, improving the visual
image.
In addition to providing landscaping and wrap--around walls at the entry points of the subdivision from
the adjacent major streets, the project proposes a common open space area in the central portion of the
project consisting of approximately 1.1 acres. The project meets the requirement to provide three
percent aggregate open space, per current Planning Commission policy.
The park and enhanced entryways, will help meet several of the goals of the 2025 Fresno General Plan,
including Goal No. 10 which states that we (i.e, the City along with developers) "provide quality open
space, park and recreational facilities..." and also Policy F-3-i which states that "the location of park and
recreation sites should be central and accessible to the population served, while preserving the integrity
of the surrounding neighborhood n The setting of the park at the location as depicted on the tentative
tract map and being open on three sides, will allow passers-by and residents the opportunity to monitor
the park resulting in a safe environment and focal point for the neighborhood.

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 pian (Finding No. 1 below).
State law further provides that the proposed subdivision map be denied if any one of the Finding
Nos. 2 - 5 below is made in the negative. In addition, State law requires that_a subdivision be found to
provide for future passive and natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision development
(Finding No. 6 below).
1, The proposed subdivision map, together with its design and improvements, is consistent with the
City's 2025 General Plan (there is not an applicable specific plan), because the 2025 Fresno
General Plan and the West Area Community Plan designates the site for medium high density and
medium low density residential land uses and the project design meets the density and zoning
ordinance criteria for development in this plan designation pursuant to Section 12-403.8-2 of the
Fresno Municipal Code.
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 of
the urbanized nature of the area in which the site is located.
4. The proposed subdivision design and improvements are not likely to cause serious public health
and safety problems, because the conditions of approval have shown and will insure that the
subdivision conforms with City health and safety standards.
5. The proposed subdivision design will not conflict with public easements within or through the site,
because conditions of approval will assure noninterference with any existing or proposed public
easements.
6. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, because of the appropriate use and placement
of landscaping plant materials and because of the orientation of the proposed lots.
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.
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.

Comments:
The proposed project wili add approximately 131, K-12 grade students to the District's
average daily attendance.

Grade Level: # of Students Generated
K-5 grade students 81
7-8 grade students 22
0-12_ ade students _ _ 28
TOTAL K-12 grade 131
The District will be able to accommodate these new students at the schools of
attendance indicated below. To offset the cost to house these students, the District
currently levies development fees of $2.92 per square foot for residential development
and $4.42 per square foot for commercial 1 industrial development. As a point of
information, development fees are subject to increase every two years by the State
Allocation Board. Any new development on the property will be subject to the
development fees in place at the time development fee certificates are obtained.
Sidewalks will be required along interior neighborhood streets and major exterior streets
to provide the necessary identifiable boundary between students and traffic, and provide
a safe place for students walking to and from existing school sites and bus stops.
Bus transportation wilt be. provided to those students in accordance with District policies
in effect at the time of enrotlment. Currently, bus transportation is provided for:
• K-8th grade students residing at least one mile or more from their school of
attendance;
• 9th_12thgrade students residing at least two miles or more from their school of
attendance.
The District is an advocate for safe walking routes. At this time, however, an identifiable
safe walking route does not exist to one or more of the schools of attendance indicated
below. The District will-need to provide busing for these students and has concluded
using interior subdivision streets are not adequate or safe for bus turning and/or
navigation movements. Therefore, the District will require a permanent bus pull out,
separated from traffic lanes by a concrete median strip. Attached is a design drawing
that meets approval by the City Traffic Engineering Manager.
The following school of attendance information is provided:
Please note: The District has plans to construct a phased "educational center" on the
NEC of Grantl and and Ashlan Avenues. The Educational Center will be home to
Harvest Elementary school with an 800 student capacity (open Aug. 2087), a 1000
student Middle school (open Aug. 2008) and a 2500 student High school (open Aug

SUBJECT: REVIEW OF TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY (TIS) FOR THE PROPOSED TRACT 5597 in the
Northeast Quadrant of Garfield Avenue/Barstow Avenue intersection
TIS06-048 dated March 3, 2006 R-05-494 C-05-239
TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY APPROVED FOR PLANNING COMMISSION
We reviewed the Traffic Impact Study T(S) by TJKM for the proposed subject project which consists of
227 Single Family Detached Residential Units and also utilized the TIS for Tract 5600 to determine
conditions:
GENERAL COMMENTS and CONDITIONS
1. The trip generation based on ITE Trip Generation Manual is acceptable. The proposed project is
projected to generate 2,172 daily trips, 170 trips during the AM.peak hour and 229 trips during the
PM peak hour.
2. This project shall pay its Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact (TSMI) Fee of $414.59 per single family
dwelling unit at the time of building permit based on the trip generation rate(s) as set Pooh in the
latest edition of the ITE Generation Manual. The TSMI fee based on 227 single family-dwelling
units is $94,134.03.
3. The project shall signalize the intersection of Herndon Avenue and Parkway _Avenue. All
approaches shall have dedicated left-turn lanes to accommodate queue lengths. The signal is
included in the TSMI fee program and is creditedfreimbursable against the fee and should be
constructed to the City of Fresno standards. Design of the signal for this intersection should be
studied in conjunction with operations at State Route (SR) 99 northbound off-ramps so as to not
impact the main line on SR 99. Other tract developers are also conditioned with this same
condition. A private partnership between developers may minimize costs. In discussions with
Caltrans signalizing the Herndon Avenue/Parkway Avenue intersection will result in the need to
signal the Herndon Avenue/ SR 99 northbound off ramps and modify the southbound SR
99/Herndon Avenue off-ramp to right-turn only with additional signage on the mainline. The
northbound right turn lane and westbound left-turn lane could be designed with overlap phases.
4, The project shall signalize the intersection of Grantland Avenue and Parkway Avenue. The signal is
included in the TSMI fee program and is credited/reimbursable against the fee and should be
constructed to the City of Fresno standards. This intersection is also conditioned on other tracts and
signalizing this intersection will require SR 99 interchange operations at Herndon Avenue to be
further studied so as to not impact the main line on SR 99.
5. The proposed project shall make necessary improvements and right-of-way dedications along
adjacent public streets as per City of Fresno requirements. The project shall widen Garfield Avenue
and Barstow Avenue to the ultimate roadway right-of-way width along property frontages.
6. The project shall install safety lighting and poles at the project frontage corners at the intersection of
Garfield Avenue/Barstow Avenue. This intersection is reimbursable and/or can be credited with the
Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact fee. The frontages for these intersections should be constructed to
the City of Fresno standard.
7. The project shall pay its fair share towards improvements to the Shaw Avenue/SR 99 interchange
and also for the construction of the new Veterans Boulevard/SR99 interchange.
8. The project shaft widen the westbound approach at Barstow Avenue/Grantland Avenue to a shared
left turn-through lane and a snared through-right turn lane.
9. The proposed project shall make necessary improvements and right-of-way dedications along
adjacent public streets as per City of Fresno requirements.
Comments
19. Where is project traffic going from the westbound left-turn at Herndon/Parkway? The trips are not
showing up at either intersection of Garfield/Barstow or Grantiand/Barstow?
11. Figure 9 is missing the southbound SR 99 off-ramp.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
EXHIBIT NO. 2
The cost of construction of Master Plan facilities, excluding dedication of storm drainage easements,
is eligible for credit against the drainage fee of the drainage area served by the facilities. A
Development Agreement shall be executed with the District to effect such credit, Reimbursement
provisions, in accordance with the Drainage Fee Ordinance, will be included to the extent that
developer's Master Plan costs for an individual drainage area exceed the fee of said area. Should the
facilities cost for such individual area total less than the fee of said area,the difference shall be paid
upon demand to the City or District.
No surface run-off shall be directed towards the District basin.
The :District recommends a single fence between the site and the District's basin. The developer
should contact the District so that alternatives to a dual fence can be reviewed. If a fence other than
the existing chain link fence is proposed, District review and approval of the proposed fence is
required.
The District requests that the grading Engineer contact the District as early as possible to review the
proposed site grading for verification and acceptance of grades at our mutual property line prior to
preparing a grading plan_
The District requires that the developer of Tract 5597 maintain West Browning and West Dovewood
Avenues to the west as shown on the vesting tentative map. This requirement is to provide a means
of drainage to future Master Plan inlets and conveyance of major storm flows to the west to Garfield
Avenue.

Dear Dave Braun,
We have reviewed Tentative Tract Map No. 5597.
PG&E requests that a Public Utility Easement (PUE), ten feet (10') in width, be
dedicated contiguous to all street(s) boundaries located within and along any portion
of said Tract Map boundaries fronting any street(s) lying outside of said Tract Map.
PG&E also requests that a PUE be incorporated within all private roads.
PG&E may further require an easement from the property owner(s) over the newly created
PUE's. The exact size and locations of the PUE's together with the need for an
easement will be finalized on the final map review.
PG&E's records show no gas or electric transmission facilities within the project
boundary.
Existing gas or electric facility relocations or protective measures necessitated by
new street improvements (which are required as conditions of a development's final
acceptance by the City of Fresno) will be at the expense of the developer.
Thank you for the opportunity to review the plans of this Tentative Tract Map. if you
have any questions, please contact me at 253-5167.

Dear Mr. Braun:
The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District(District) has reviewed the project referenced
above and offers the following comments:
The entire San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is designated non-attainment for ozone and particulate matter
(PMTO and PM2.5). This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to construction
activities in preparation of the site, and ongoing traffic and other operational emissions. Based on the size of
the project, the District expects that the project would not exceed the District's thresholds of significance for
ozone precursors of 10 tons per year of reactive organic gases (ROG)and oxides of nitrogen(NOx).
It appears that this project will be subject to the District's Indirect Source Review Rule (Rule 9510), This rule
was adopted to reduce the impacts of growth in emissions from all new development fn the San Joaquin
Valley. Rule 9510 requires applicants subject to the rule to provide information that enables the District to
quantify construction, area and operational PM 10 and NOx emissions, and potentially mitigate a portion of
those emissions. Preliminary analysis indicates that this project may generate emissions in excess of the
Ruie's 2.0 tons per year baseline for ROG and NOx that would require emissions to be reduced. An,
application must be filed with the District no later than concurrent with application with a local agency for the
final discretionary approval. For more information and instruction, please contact the District's ISR staff by
phone at(559)230-5800 or by:.emad at ISR valleair.or .
If the subdivision is part of a larger project, the District may recommend an Air Quality Impact Assessment
(AQ€A)be.conducted. The District recommends using the URBEMIS 2002 Version 8.7 program to calculate
project area and operational emissions and to identify mitigation measures that reduce impacts. URBEMIS
can be downloaded from www.urbemis.com or the South Coast Air Quality Management District's website at
http://www.agmg.ggy/ceem s.htmi. If the preliminary analysis indicates that the project exceeds the
District's Thresholds of Sigrufloance for ozone precursors (10 tonslyear of either Reactive Organic Gases or
Oxides of Nitrogen),then the.District recommends the preparation of a full AQ.IA that describes the air quality
setting and identifies measures that reduce air quality impacts. The project applicant or consultant is
encouraged to consult with District staff for assistance in determining appropriate methodology and model
inputs.
Based on the information provided, the proposed project will be subject to the following District rules. The
following items are,rulas-that-have been adopted by the District to reduce emissions throughout the San
Joaquin Valley,and.are required. This project may be subject to additional District Rules not enumerated
below. To jdentify additional rules or regulations that apply to this project, or for further information, the

applicant is strongly encouraged to contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at (559)230-
5888. Current District rules can be found at http-1www.valleYair.orglrules/1 ruleslist.htm.
Regulation Vill (Fugitive PM 10 Prohibitions) Rules 8011-8081 are designed to reduce PM10 emissions
(predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction and demolition activities, road
construction, bulk materials storage, paved and unpaved roads, carryout and track out, landfill operations,
etc. The District's compliance assistance bulletin for construction sites can be found at

If a residential project is 10.0 or more acres in area or will include moving, depositing, or relocating more
than 2,500 cubic yards per day of bulk materials on at least three days, a Dust Control Plan must be
submitted as specified in Section 6.3.1 of Rule 8021. Construction activities small not commence until the
District has approved the Dust Control Plan. A template of the District's Dust Control Plan is available at
htto://www.vallevair.org/busind/comply/PM10/forms/DCP-Form°1020-°102012-01-2CO5.doc.
Ruta 4102(Nuisance)This rule applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants or
other materials. In the event that the project or construction of the project creates a public nuisance, it could
be in violation and be subject to District enforcement action.
Rule 4103 (Open Burning)This rule regulates the use of open burning and specifies the types of materials
that may be open burned.Agricultural material shall not be burned when the land use is converting from
agriculture to non-agricultural purposes (e.g., commercial, industrial, institutional, or residential uses).
Section 5.1 of this rule prohibits the burning of trees and other vegetative{non-agricultural} material
whenever the land is being developed for non-agricultural purposes. In the event that the project applicant
burned or burns agricultural material, it would be in violation of Rule 4103 and be subject to District
enforcement action. -
The Tract Map indicates that an orchard will be removed. The following conditions apply to the orchard
removal. Open burning is prohibited at this project site, per Rule 4103.
. If shredding or chipping equipment is to be used for processing the orchard waste, the equipment shall be
permitted by the District, or registered by the California Air Resources Board or the District as Portable
Equipment.
Visible emissions created from the shredding or chipping equipment shall not exceed 20 percent opacity or
Ringlemann 1 and any standard specified on a Permit to Opetate or Portable Equipment Registration
Certificate.
Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings)This rule limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings by
specifying architectural coatings storage, clean up and labeling requirements and applies to any person who
supplies, sells, offers for sale, applies,or solicits the application of any architectural coating.
Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations) If asphalt
paving will be used, then paving operations of this project will be subject to Rule 4641.This rule applies to
the manufacture and.use of cutback asphalt, slow cure asphalt and emulsified asphalt for paving and
maintenance Operations.
Rule 4901 (Wood Burning Fireplaces and Wood Burning Heaters)This rule limits PM 10 and PM2.5
emissions from residential development. Construction plans for residential developments may be affected by
section 5.3, specifically: .
*5.3.1 No person shall.install a wood burning fireplace in anew residential development with a density
greater than two(2)dwelling units per acre.
* 5.3.2 No person shall install more than two(2) EPA Phase 11 Certified wood burning heaters per acre in
any new residential development with a density equal to or greater than three (3)dwelling units per acre.
*5.3.3 No person shall install.more than one(1)wood burning fireplace or wood burning heater per dwelling
unit in any new residential development with a density equal to or less than two (2)dwelling units per acre.

Mere information about Rule 4901 can be found on our website at%,NAv.valleyair.orn. For compliance
assistance, please contact Mr,Wayne Clarke, Air Quality Compliance Manager, at (559) 230-5968.
Rule 9510 [indirect Source Review)This rule was adopted to reduce the impacts of growth in emissions
from all new development in the San Joaquin Valley. Rule 9510 requires applicants subject to the rule to
provide information that enables the Dlstrict to quantify construction, area and operational PM 10 and NOx
emissions, and potentially mitigate a portion of those emissions. An application must be filed with the District
.no later than concurrent with application with a local agency for the final discretionary approval. For more

ISR a(,,valleyair.org.
The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. There are a number of
features that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional reductions of
the overall level of emissions. {mote: Some of the measures may already exist as the City of Fresno
development standards. Any measure selected should be implemented to the fullest extent possible.} The
suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options that the agency with the
land-use authority should consider for incorporation into the project.
Large canopy trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the buifding(s)from energy
consuming environmental conditions, and to shade 50% of paved areas within 15 years. Also,trees
should be planted adjacent to all sidewalks. Structural soil should be used under paved areas to
improve tree growth. For information on Structural Soil see htto:Jlwww.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/.
For information on Tree Selection see htto:Lfwww.ufei.org . For Urban Forestry see
htt :Jlwww.coolcom unities.or , http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu and
http://www.lgc.org/bookstore/eneLqv/downloads/s'v tree uidelines. df.
Sidewalks and bikeways should be installed throughout as much of the project as possible and should
be connected to any nearby existing and planned open space areas, parks, schools, residential areas,
commercial areas, etc.,to encourage walking and bicycling. Connections to nearby public uses and
commercial areas should be made as direct as possible to promote walking for some trips. Pedestrian
and hike-oriented design reduces motor vehicle usage and their effects on air quality. Sidewalks and
bikeways should be designed to separate pedestrian and bicycle pathways from vehicle paths.
Sidewalks and bikeways should be designed to be accommodating and appropriately sized for
anticipated future pedestrian and bicycle use. Such pathways should be easy to navigate, designed to
facilitate pedestrian movement through the project, and create a safe environment for all potential users
(pedestrian, bicycle and disabled)from obstacles and automobiles. Pedestrian walkways should be
created to connect all buildings throughout the project. The walkways should create a safe and inviting
walking environment for people wishing to walk from one building to another. Walkways should be
installed to direct pedestrians from the street sidewalk to the building(s). Safe and convenient pathways
should be provided for pedestrian movement in large parking lots. Mid-block paths should be installed to
facilitate pedestrian movement through long blocks (over 500' in length) and cul-de-sacs. Sidewalks
should be designed for high visibility(brightly painted, different color of concrete, etc.)when crossing
parking lots, streets and similar vehicle paths. Clearly marked and highly visible pedestrian accesses
create a safer environment for both pedestrians and vehicles. Pathways through the project should be
built in anticipation of.future growth/development..
• As many energy conserving and emission reducing features as possible should be included in the
project, Energy conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and
operational energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to):
Increased energy efficiency(above California Title 24 Requirements)
See htt :/iwww.ener .ca. ovilitle24/.
- Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E), lighting, appliances, and heating and cooling
systems. See htt :!/www.ener star, ov/

• Project design should use models put forward by the Local Government Commission (LGC)in the
"Smart Growth Guidebook,”such as; street block patterns that form an interconnected grid, short block
faces, numerous alleys and narrow streets. The LGC website htto:Ywww.11gc.org contains valuable
information and resources on subjects from street design to energy efficiency.
• The applicant should implement measures to reduce the amount of vehicle traffic to and from the
residential area(s)that further reduce air pollution in the valley. This could include providing an
information center for residents to coordinate carpooling. Check out the`Spare the Air" section of our
website www.valle air.or
• Construction activity mitigation measures include:
Limit area subject to excavation, grading, and other constructions activity at any one time
Limit the hours of operation of heavy duty equipment and/or the amount of equipment in use
Replace fossil-fueled equipment with electrically driven equivalents (provided they are not run via a
portable generator set)
Require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use to reduce emissions from idling.
Curtail constructions during periods of high ambient pollutant concentrations; this may include ceasing
of construction activity during the peak-hour of vehicular traffic on adjacent roadways, and "Spare the
Air Days'declared by the District.
- Implement activity:management (e.g.rescheduling activities to reduce short-term impacts)
- During the smog season(May through October), lengthen the construction period to minimize the
number of vehicles and equipment operating at the same time.
Off road trucks should be equipped with on-road engines when possible.
Minimize obstruction of traffic on adjacent roadways.
+ Construction equipment may be powered by diesel engines fueled by alternative diesel fuel blends or
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). The California Air Resources Board (CARE) has verified specific
alternative diesel fuel blends for NOx and PM emission reduction. Only fuels that have been certified by
Dave Braun July 77, 2006
T-5597, R-05-94, C-05-293;227 SFR an 41-5 Acres Page 5
CARS should be used. Information on biodiesel can be found on CARS's website at
htto://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/dies_ellaltdiesel/aitdiesei.htrn and the EPA's website at
http://www,epa-qovloms/rhoclels/biodsl.htm. The applicant should also use CARS certified alternative
fueled engines in construction equipment where practicable. Alternative fueled equipment may be
powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquid Propane Gas (LPG), electric motors, or other CARE
certified off-road technologies. To find engines certified by the CARS, see their certification website
http://www.arb.ca.gov/rnsorw/offroad/cerUcert.ph . For more information on any of the technologies
listed above, please contact Mr. Chris Acree, Senior Air Quality Specialist, at(559) 230-5829.
■ Construction equipment may be used that meets the current off-road engine emission standard (as
certified by the CARS), or be re-powered with an engine that meets this standard. Tier I, Tier II and Tier
III engines have significantly less NOx and PM emissions compared to uncontrolled engines. To find
engines certified by the CARS, see http://www.arb.c;a.gov/msproo/offroad/cert/cert.php. This site lists
engines by type, then manufacturer. The "Executive Order" shows what Tier the engine is certified as.
Rule 9510 requires construction exhaust emissions to be reduced by 20 percent for NOx and 45 percent
for PM 10 when compared to the statewide fleet average or to pay an in lieu mitigation fee. For more

Mr.Dave Braun
City of Fresno Development Department
2600 Fresno Street
Fresno, CA 93721
Dear Mr.Braun:
We have reviewed the Traffic Impact Study(TIS) for proposed 227-lot single-family residential
subdivision to be located on the northwest comer of Barstow and Garfields Avenues. Caltrans has the
following comments:
The trip generatiorYtrip distribution in Figures 9, 10, and 1 l (Year 2025 trip distribution) in the TIS is
satisfactory;however,given the uncertainty of the construction date of the future Veterans Boulevard
interchange, those trips shown as impacting the future Veterans Boulevard interchange were redistributed
to the State Route (SR) 99 interchanges at Herndon and Shaw Avenues.
Including the Veterans Boulevard interchange in the TIS artificially reduces the impact of this
project on the existing interchanges..The'City of Fresno has contracted to have a Project Study Report
(PSR)prepared for the Veterans Boulevard interchange,a first step to implementing the new interchange.
The PSR must be approved by Caltrans and must comply with the Department's standards. This includes
an indication of a likely funding source. After this step, the project development work may begin,
including environmental studies, and,after this,right-of-way may be purchased. Construction may not
begin for many years. It is likely that this housing development will be constructed before the Veterans
Boulevard interchange comes to fruition.
We have had discussions on this issue with the City's Public Works Department. We have indicated that
we would support the inclusion of the Veterans Boulevard interchange in TISs if we had some idea when
the interchange would be constructed and the manner in which.the City intends to fund the construction.
This would allow us to detm1nine mitigation to the existing interchanges for the interim period of time
until the Veterans Boulevard interchange is operational. We request that the City send us a letter that
will outline the time frame for construction and the source of the funds.
The plan for the Veterans Boulevard interchange, at this time,is not clearly defined. Without knowing
what design alternative will be chosen,we do not know what costs will be incurred from construction of
this interchange. It is impossible to determine a fair share of an•unkriown cost. Past projects have been
allowed to direct mitigation to the Veterans Boulevard interchange. Caltrans does not support this. Until
we receive some sort of indication on the time frame for construction ofthe-VeteransBoulevard
interchange,we will continue to request mitigation to the existing interchanges.
"Calrrnrs improves mobility across CnlijornjC.
Mr. Dave Braun
July 24, 2006 ,

The impacts from this development to the Shaw Avenue and Herndon Avenue interchanges will
he cumulatively significant, at least until the new interchange is constructed. The project needs
to mitigate for its impacts to these two interchanges.
Caltrans and the City of Fresno have entered into an "Interim Agreement"that provides guidance on
calculating fair share for development to mitigate for its impacts to State facilities. Per that agreement,
we have used the "City Formula"to calculate the fair share for this project. Caltrans calculates this
project's fair share to mitigate for cumulatively significant impacts to the SR 99 interchanges at Herndon
and Shaw Avenues to be$19,983, detailed as follows:
Herndon Interchange,
Northbound off ramp intersection
Signal and turn lane(total cost$150,000)
Cost-per-trip= 111,911 =(0.000523)(S450,000) =$235
Mitigation=($235)(9 trips)=$2,115
Shaw Interchanize
,Northbound off-raw intersection
Aad turn lane(total cost$3399000)
Cost-per-trip� 111,743 = (0.000574)($339,000) _$194
Mitigation=$194 X 51 =$9,894
Shaw Gvercrossing
Widen overcrossing(total cost=$1,130,000)
Cost-per-trip= 112,552.=(0.000392)(1,130,000) 5443

The City should consider a transit alternative for this project_ When combined with other residential
projects in the area,there is sufficient development to support transit. Early planning could make such
an alternative feasible. Caltrans recommends that this project be routed to Fresno Area Express(FAX)
staff for their review and comment. Please see Attachment Number I for other recommended
transportation alternatives.

Project Description:
Rezone Application No. R-05-94'proposes to rezone approximately 74.57 (net) acres of property located on
the north side of West Barstow Avenue between North Grantland and North Garfield Avenues from the R-R
(County) zone district to the- R-11UGM (Single Family ResidsntiaWrban Growth Management), R-A1UGM
(Single Family Residential AgriculturallUrban Growth Management) and R-21UGM (Lbw Density Multiple
Family ResidentiallUrban Growth Management) zone districts. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 55971UGM
proposes to subdivide approximately 42.5 acres of the subject property into a 227-tot single family residential
subdivision to be developed at a density of 5.4 dwelling units per acre. The property is within the jurisdictions
of the West Area Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan. Both plans designate the property for
medium low density residential (2.19 to 4.98 units per acre), medium high density residential (10.38 to 18.15
units per acre) and open space-ponding basin planned land uses. The subject site is currently vacant and is
predominantly surrounded by rural residential properties.
The project also includes the detachment of the subject property from the Kings River Conservation District
and the North Central Fire Protection District and annexation to the City of Fresno for which the Fresno
Count Local A enc formation Commission LAFCOJ is the responsible agency
Conformance to Master Environmental Impact Report(MSIR NO. 10130):
.As previously indicated, the recently adopted 2025 Fresno General Plan designates the subject parcel for
open space-ponding Basin, medium high and medium low density residential planned land uses, The
requested R-11UGM and R-2fUGM zone districts conform to the medium low density and medium high
density residential land use designations, respectively, as indicated by the 2025 Fresno General Pian
"Planned Land Use and Zone District Consistency Matrix" as well as the adopted West Area Community Pian.
The R-11UGM zone district conforms to the medium high density residential land use designation pursuant to
Section 12-403-B-2 of the Fresno Municipal Code. The R-A1UGM zone district is proposed for the portion of
the project which is planned for open space-ponding basin land uses.
The Planning and Development Department staff has prepared an initial stuffy and environmental checklist
and evaluated the requested rezoning in accordance with the land use and environmental policies and
provisions of the 2025 Fresno General Pian and the related Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR) No.
10130. The subject property is proposed to be developed with single-family residential land uses, future
multiple family residential land uses and a ponding basin at an intensity and scale that is permitted by the
planned land uses and proposed zoning designations for the site. Thus, the rezoning will not facilitate an
additional intensification of uses beyond that which already exists or would be allowed by the above-noted
Finding of Conformity lander MEO ). 10130 '

planned land use designations. Moreover, it is not expected that the existing and future development, per the
requested rezoning, will adversely impact existing city service systems or the traffic circulation system that
serves the subject parcels. 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 MSIR No.
10130 have been applied to the project necessary to assure that the project W11 not cause significant adverse
cumulative impacts, growth inducing impacts, and irreversible significant effects beyond those identified by
MEIR No, 10130 as provided by CEQA Section.15178(2).
Per Section 21157.1 of the Califomia Public.Resources Code (California Environmental Quality Act), it may
be determined that a subsequent project 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, per the 2025 Fresno General Plan
land use designations; include impacts associated with the open space, medium high and medium low
density residential land use designations specified for the subject parcel. Based on this initial study, the
project does not change the land use indicated for the subject parcel and will not generate additional
significant effects not previously identified by the MEIR and no new additional mitigation measures are
required. Therefore, the project proposal is within the scope of the MEIR as defined by Section 15177 of the
CEQA Guidelines.
Moreover, as lead agency for this.project, the Planning and Development Department, per Section 15177 (d)
of the CEQA Guidelines, has determined that all feasible mitigation measures from MEIR No. 10130 shall
apply to the project proposal as noted in the attached mitigation monitoring checkllist. Public notice has
n a m
been provided regarding staffs finding: ianner prescribed by this section of,the Guidelines and by
Section 29092 of the California Public Resources Code (CEQA provisions).
