BACKGROUND
Lore Engineering, Inc., on behalf of Old California, Inc., has filed Tentative Tract Map No.
6211/UGM, pertaining to approximately 1.62 net acres of property located on the west side of North
Millbrook Avenue between East Nees and East Goshen Avenues. Tentative Tract Map No.
6211/UGM is a proposal to subdivide the property for purposes of creating an 8-lot conventional
single family residential subdivision on approximately 1.62 net acres at a density of 4.93 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.
An existing single family residence located on the subject site will be relocated 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.
Landscaping/Walls
City of Fresno Page 2 of 8 Printed on 7/23/2018

File#: ID18-0883, Version: 1
North Millbrook Avenue is designated as a major, collector street. A 10-foot landscaped easement is
proposed to be dedicated along the entirety of the North Millbrook Avenue frontage of the subject
property to match existing Tract 4742 located to the north of the subject property.
In accordance with Section 15-2002 of the Fresno Municipal Code, a 6-foot high masonry wall will be
required to be constructed at the rear of the proposed 10-foot landscaped easement along North
Millbrook Avenue, where access rights will be relinquished.
Pursuant to City of Fresno Ordinance No. 2016-57, residential subdivisions with tentative maps
containing 50 parcels or less are required to pay in-lieu fees only for open space/park facility
purposes.
Lot Area and Dimensions
All lots within the proposed subdivision meet the minimum 5,000 square foot lot area, and the
minimum lot depth and lot width requirements of the property development standards for the RS-
4/UGM (Residential Single Family, Medium-Low Density/Urban Growth Broundary) zone district.
Sidewalks, Streets and Access Points
The Fresno General Plan designates North Millbrook Avenue as a collector street. The proposed
project will be required to dedicate and construct improvements along the major street frontage and
interior local street with the proposed subdivisions.
Direct vehicular access will be relinquished along the major street frontages of proposed single family
residential lots. The subdivision design includes one major street entryway to the interior of the
subdivision from North Millbrook Avenue. The single interior local street is proposed to be dedicated
in accordance with the City Standard 50-foot right-of-way which will provide for parking and sidewalks
on both sides of the street.
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 21, 2018. 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).
Public Services
Sewer
The nearest sanitary sewer main to serve the proposed project is an existing 24-inch main located in
North Millbrook Avenue with capacity to serve the proposed project. Sewer facilities are available to
provide service to the site subject to the conditions listed in the memoranda dated June 26, 2018.
Water

File#: ID18-0883, Version: 1
The nearest water main to serve the proposed project is an existing 12-inch main located in North
Millbrook Avenue with volume generation capacity and two points of connection to serve the
proposed project's domestic and fire service needs. Water facilities are available to provide service
to the site subject to the conditions listed in the memoranda dated June 14, 2018.
FMFCD
The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that permanent drainage
service is available provided the developer verifies to the satisfaction of the City that runoff can be
safely conveyed to existing Master Plan inlets located in North Millbrook Avenue. Master Plan
facilities were designed to accommodate Medium-Low Density Residential uses based upon a a
maximum density of 4.98 dwelling units per acre and a minimum 5,000 square-foot lot size with a 50
percent lot-coverage requirement; consistent with contemporary development standards pursuant to
the RS-4 zone district standards. Proposed lot sizes within the subject subdivision range from 7,122
to 10,359 square feet in size and the proposed density is approximately 4.93 dwelling units per acre.
The project applicant shall comply with the FMFCD requirements as detailed in its memorandum
dated July 3, 2018. The District will require that lot coverage for proposed development on all lots to
be created from the proposed subdivision be provided to the district prior submittal of improvement
plans. The lot coverage calculated by the District allows for an additional 6% of impervious area in
addition to the City typical lot coverage calculation.
The proposed project is not located within a flood prone area.
Fire
The City of Fresno Fire Department reviewed the proposed project and has determined that
adequate Fire service will be available subject to future requirements for development which will
include installation of public fire hydrants and the provision of adequate fire flows per Public Works
Standards, with two sources water; and, installation of fire sprinklers within future residential
dwellings. Review for compliance with fire and life safety requirements for the interior of proposed
buildings and the intended use are reviewed by both the Fire Department and the Building and Safety
Services Section of the Development and Resource Management Department when a submittal for
building plan review is made as required by the California Building 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
City of Fresno Page 4 of 8 Printed on 7/23/2018
powered by Legistar-
File#: ID18-0883, Version: 1
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.
Furthermore, Objective OF-12 and Policy LU-1-a of the Fresno General Plan promote new
development within existing City limits and direct the City to locate roughly one-half of future
residential development in infill areas - defined as being within the City on December 31, 2012 -
including non-corridor infill areas, and vacant land. The subject property was annexed to the City of
Fresno as part of Annexation No. 880 on December 20, 1979 and therefore meets the definition of
infill for purposes of compliance with these objectives and policies of the Fresno General Plan.
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 currently comprises approximately 1.90 acres of land with an existing single
family residence located on the site, which will be relocated. The subject property has been
bypassed while being completely surrounded by urban development to the north, east, south and
west of the property. 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.
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.
Council District Plan Implementation Committee
The Council District 6 (CD6) Plan Implementation Committee is scheduled to consider this project on
July 16, 2018. The committee recommendation will be provided to the Planning Commission by staff
at the scheduled Planning Commission hearing.
Notice of Planning Commission Hearing
The Development and Resource Management Department mailed notices of this Planning
Commission hearing to all surrounding property owners within 1000 feet of the subject property,
pursuant to Section 15-5007 of the Fresno Municipal Code.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
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
City of Fresno Page 5 of 8 Printed on 7/23/2018
powered by Legistar-
File#: ID18-0883, Version: 1
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 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. 6211/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 proposed project pursuant to Tentative Tract Map No. 6211/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.
FRESNO MUNICIPAL CODE FINDINGS
City of Fresno Page 6 of 8 Printed on 7/23/2018
powered by Legistar-
File#: ID18-0883, Version: 1
Based upon analysis of the applications, staff concludes that the required findings contained within
Section 15-3309 et seq. of the Fresno Municipal Code can be made. These findings are attached as
Exhibit I.
GROUNDS FOR DENIAL OF TENTATIVE MAP
The Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code §§ 66400, et seq.) provides that approval of a
proposed subdivision map shall be denied if any of the following findings are made.
1. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in
Section 65451 of the SMA.
2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable
general and specific plans.
3. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development.
4. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health
problems.
7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed
subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate
easements, for access of or use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to
ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record
or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is
hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements
for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
CONCLUSION
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. 6211/UGM is appropriate for the project site.

Fire (7-12-2018)
1. The only comment we have on this is Fire does not support the name "Sarah Court" as a public or
private street as Sarah Street already exists in the southwest area of Fresno. Final determination of
street names is at the DARM director's discretion, however we believe the name similarity could
lead to an error in emergency services dispatching.
Fresno County Environmental Health (6-14-2018)
Recommended Conditions of Approval:
1. Construction permits for the development 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

should be sampled for lubricating oil. The presence of oil staining around the water 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.
