ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
The Fresno City Council adopted and certified the Master Environmental Impact Report (SCH #
2012111015) prepared for the Fresno General Plan ("MEIR") which evaluated environmental
impacts associated with the development of the City consistent with the land use designations
as designated by the Fresno General Plan.
MEIR SCH No. 2012111015 was prepared in accordance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as codified in the California Public Resources Code, Division
13, and the implementing guidelines as codified in the California Code of Regulations, Title 14,
Chapter 3. This process included the distribution of requests for comment to other responsible
or affected agencies and interested organizations and persons.
These previous environmental and technical studies examined projected sewage generation
rates of planned urban uses, the capacity of existing sanitary sewer collection and treatment
facilities, and optimum alternatives for increasing capacities; groundwater aquifer resource
conditions; water supply production and distribution system capacities; traffic carrying capacity
of the planned major street system; and, student generation projections and school facility site
location identification.
The subject property has been proposed to be developed at an intensity and scale that is
permitted by the Medium-Low Density Residential (3.5-6.0 Dwelling Units/Acre) planned land
use designation and existing RS-4/UGM (Single Family Residential, Medium-Low Density/Urban
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION

Growth Management) zone district classification for the subject site. Thus, the proposed
subdivision and planned development of the subject property in accordance with Tentative Tract
Map No. 6140/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 future development will adversely impact existing city service
systems or the traffic circulation system that serves the subject property and its surrounding
area. These infrastructure findings have been verified by the Public Works and Public Utilities
Departments.
To the extent the planned development project proposed pursuant to Tract Map No. 6140/UGM
may not have been previously assessed, Development and Resource Management staff have
performed an additional evaluation of the proposed project and have determined that it falls
within the Categorical Exemptions set forth in Section 15332/Class 32 of the California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, which exempt certain projects involving the development
of residential housing that: (1) Are consistent with the applicable Fresno General Plan and
Woodward Park Community Plan as well as with applicable zoning designations and
regulations; (2) Located within City limits on a project site of not more than five acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses; (3) Have no value as habitat for endangered, rare or
threatened species; (4) Would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air
quality, or water quality; and, (5) Can be adequately served by all required utilities and public
services.
Therefore, the following findings can be made: (1) There is not a reasonable possibility that the
proposed project will have a project-specific, significant effect on the environment due to
unusual circumstances; (2) No substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is being undertaken that are related to the project have occurred since
community-level environmental review was certified or adopted; (3) No new information has
become available regarding the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken that
is related to the project, that was not known, and could not have been known, at the time that
community-level environmental review was certified or adopted; and, (4) None of the exceptions
to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to this
project.

the south side of East Powers Avenue between North Maple and North Chance Avenues.
Tentative Tract Map No. 6140/UGM is a proposal to subdivide the property into a 10 lot single
family residential subdivision on approximately 2.63 acres at a density of 3.80 dwelling units
per acre. The subject property is located within the Fresno General Plan and the Woodward
Park Community Plan, both plans designate the subject site for medium low density residential
planned land uses (3.5 to 6.00 dwelling units per acre). Based upon the submitted subdivision
design, the proposed subdivision can be found consistent with the medium low density
residential planned land uses for the subject property as designated by both the Fresno
General Plan and the Woodward Park Community Plan pursuant to section 66474.2 of the
Subdivision Map Act.
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Tentative Tract Map No. 6140/UGM

Page 5
An existing single family residence located on the subject site will be demolished for the
purposes of the proposed project. The subdivision will be developed, taking advantage of the
opportunity to add density to an infill area with access to existing city infrastructure and
services.
LandscapinglWalls
Powers Avenue and John Albert Avenue are designated as local roads. The code does not
require a landscape buffer or walls along local roads when single-family abuts single-family
development.
Lot Area and Dimensions
All lots within the proposed subdivision meet the minimum 5,000 square foot lot area, and the
minimum lot depth requirements and lot width requirements of the property development
standards for the RS-4 (Residential Single Family, Medium-Low Density) zone district.
Sidewalks, Streets and Access Points
The Public Works Department, Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed project
and potential traffic related impacts for the proposed 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 which may be potentially generated subject to the requirements stipulated within the
memoranda from the Traffic Engineering Division dated June 23, 2016. These requirements
generally include: (1) Dedication for public streets and right-of-way; (2) Street improvements,
(including, but not limited to, construction of concrete curbs, gutters, pavement, underground
street lighting systems); and, (3) Payment of applicable impact fees (including, but not limited to,
the Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact (TSMI) Fee and Fresno Major Street Impact (FMSI) Fee).

FMFCD
The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that this project can be
accommodated by the district. The project applicant shall comply with the FMFCD requirements
as detailed in its memorandum dated June 27, 2016.
Notice of Planning Commission Hearing
The Development and Resource Management Department mailed notices of this Planning
Commission hearing to surrounding property owners within 1,000 feet of the subject property,
pursuant to Section 15-5007 of the Fresno Municipal Code.
LAND USE PLANS AND POLICIES
The subject site is designated for medium low density residential planned land uses by the
Fresno General Plan and the Woodward Park Community Plan.
The goals of the Fresno General Plan include providing for a diversity of districts,
neighborhoods, housing types and residential densities through the development of complete
neighborhoods with an efficient and diverse mix of residential densities, building types, and
affordability which are designed to be healthy, attractive, and centered by schools, parks, and
public and commercial services to provide a sense of place and that provide as many services
as possible within walking distance.
Likewise, supporting Objectives and Policies of the Fresno General Plan include an emphasis
on compatible infill development opportunities which provide for a diversity of districts,
neighborhoods, and housing types in order to afford a range of housing stock within the City of
Fresno that will support balanced urban growth and make efficient use of resources and public
facilities.
Additionally, Policy LU-5-b of the current Fresno General Plan states, in part: Promote medium-
low density residential uses to preserve existing uses of that nature.
The proposed project meets the intent of many or all of the goals, objectives, and policies of the
Fresno General Plan referenced herein above.
The subject property constitutes approximately 2.63 acres of land with a single family residence
located on the site, which will be demolished. Substantial urban development has occurred to
the north and south of the property while bypassing the subject property and its neighbors to the
east and west. The proposed project will make the most efficient use of land and existing public
improvements, infrastructure and services by taking advantage of the opportunity to add density
to a large infill lot.
The proposed project incorporates a cul-de-sac which has been designed to accommodate turn
around radii of fire trucks and solid waste pick-up trucks.
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Tentative Tract Map No. 6140/UGM
July 6, 2016
Page 7
In conclusion, the proposed project is consistent with many or all of the goals and policies of the
Fresno General Plan. The proposed project promotes reinvestment by proposing a quality
development in an existing neighborhood and the opportunity to continue development in the
future, preserves neighborhood character by retaining an existing single family residence on the
project site, and protects property values by constructing a compatible infill development on a
currently underdeveloped site.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map Findings
The Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code §§ 66400, et seq.) requires that a
proposed subdivision not be approved unless the map, together with its design and
improvements, is found to be consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan
(Finding No. 1 below).
State law further provides that the proposed subdivision map be denied if any one of the Finding
Nos. 2 - 5 below is made in the negative. In addition, State law requires that a subdivision be
found to provide for future passive and natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision
development (Finding No. 6 below).
1. The proposed subdivision map, together with its design and improvements, is consistent
with the City's General Plan and the Woodward Park Community Plan, because the plans
designate the site for medium low density residential planned land uses and the project
design meets the density and zoning ordinance criteria for development pursuant to
Section 65451 of the CA Government 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; and,
that development shall occur in accordance with adopted standards, goals, objectives, and
policies for development in the City of Fresno.
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 the area is not known to contain any unique or endangered species and 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.

The subdivision map, based on the required findings for approval and subject to the
recommended conditions of approval, and the standards and policies of the Fresno General
Plan and Woodward Park Community Plan, complies with applicable zoning and subdivision
requirements. 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.
Planning Commission action of the proposed Tentative Tract Map and accompanying
environmental assessment, unless appealed to the Council, is final.
CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION
The appropriateness of the proposed project has been examined with respect to its consistency
with goals and policies of the Fresno General Plan and the Woodward Park Community Plan; its
compatibility with surrounding existing or proposed uses; and its avoidance or mitigation of
potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. These factors have been evaluated as
described above and by the accompanying environmental assessment. Upon consideration of
this evaluation, it can be concluded that Tentative Tract Map No. 6140/UGM are appropriate for
the project site.

SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 6140/UGM
This is a 10 lot conventional public street single family home subdivision division with
standard 36 foot streets.
The Fire Department's conditions of approval include the following:
Proposed tract is located 2.0 miles from permanent Fire Station 13 located at 821 E. Nees
Ave.
Provide fire hydrants and fire flow per Public Utilities standards for single family residential
development. The fire hydrant system shall be in service before delivery of lumber on site
unless otherwise approved with a temporary water supply for model home construction. A
fire hydrant will be required at the end of the cul-de-sac in lieu of the blow-off at the end of
the proposed 8 inch water main shown on the tentative map.
All construction work on this project is subject to interruption if the road system becomes
impassable for fire apparatus. Access roadways during construction shall be paved or
provided with an all-weather driving surface approved by the Fire Department.
Fresno County was the original approving agency for the initial parcel map creating E.
Powers and eight large rural residential lots with a cul-de-sac length in excess of 600 feet.
As was approved by the City of Fresno for two other subdivisions (Tracts 5340 and 5564)
created adjacent to E. Powers Ave Tract 6140 is allowed to develop with same residential
fire sprinkler mitigation and one other mitigation described below.
There is the potential for further subdivisions of the current proposed type on the
remaining large lot parcels along E. Powers. The resulting increase in traffic volume
raises the potential of a traffic incident that could block the single access from N. Maple
Ave. Fire Department is requiring posting of No Parking signs per city standards on E.
Powers adjacent to Tract 6140. We will be placing a request in to Public Works to add No
Parking signs along the remainder of E. Powers.

RE: Tentative Map of Tract No. 6140/UGM
N/W Teague and Maple avenues
Dear Ms. Noguera:
The Fresno Irrigation District (FID) has reviewed the Tentative Map of Tract No. 6140/UGM for
which the applicant proposes to subdivide the subject property for purposes of creating a 10-lot
single family residential subdivision with public streets, APN: 403-022-08. FID has the following
comments:
1. FID does not own, operate, or maintain any facilities located on the subject property as
shown on the attached FID exhibit map.
2. The proposed development may negatively impact local groundwater supplies, Under
current circumstances the project area is experiencing a modest but continuing
groundwater overdraft. FID suggests 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.
Thank you for submitting the proposed project for our review. We appreciate the opportunity to
review and comment on the subject documents for this project. If you have any questions
please feel free to contact Chris Lundeen at (559) 233-7161 extension 7410 or
clundeen _.fresnoirrigation.com.
