I directed that request to the person I believed to be the most logical one to handle a public records act request--the City Clerk,with a copy to the City Attorney. A copy of that request is enclosed. The City Clerk responded that she had a number of documents but that she was not the custodian of record for a number of items. A copy of her response is enclosed for your review. Subsequently,Ms. Klisch advised that we should make our request to each of you, as you will have the documents that she claims to not have in her possession or control. The documents requested herein should have been produced when originally requested from the City Clerk and therefore are overdue. I view Ms. Klisch's response, claiming that she was not the custodian of record and therefore unable to provide access to them, as insufficient and incomplete. Without waiving these objections I am redirecting this request to you in the interest of economy and convenience for all concerned. Therefore pursuant to California's Public Records Act, California Government Code §§6250-6270, I hereby request the right to inspect and copy the following records: LAW OFFICES OF DANIEL 0.

SOLIS, Director Development Department SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 2739/UGM 04 - ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 859 Councilman Bredefeld has inquired as to the history of the existing fence located along the east side of North Friant Road north of Audubon Drive. That fence was installed as a condition of Subdivision Map No. 2737 Tentative Tract No. 2739/UGM 04 and the related Environmental Assessment No. 859 were filed on October 12, 1976, reviewed by Commission on November 16, 1976, approved by Council on January 13, 1977 and recorded on September 22, 1977. Staff completed an initial study that resulted in a requirement for an Environmental Impact Report for Environmental Assessment No. 859 on May 25, 1976. That requirement was appealed. The Planning Commission upheld the applicant's appeal on October 5, 1976. Staff issued a Negative Declaration based only on Planning Commission action on October 6, 1976. It should be noted that the Fresno County Health Department response dated June 11, 1976, on noise from the Friant Expressway (attached) under example No. 4 clearly indicated that the noise 0 barrier should have been an eight-foot solid masonry wall. It appears that the Expressway Area overlay standards were not in place at the time the map was approved. However, the Subdivision Standards Section of the Zoning Ordinance appears to have been in effect. Section No. 12-1011 requires the through lots to have a minimum 6-foot high masonry wall at their rear along Friant Road City Council approved Tract No. 2739 subject to the Subdivision Review Committee Report dated November 2, 1976, (attached) which required per Condition Nos. 2, 4, 7, and 8, and per the notations on the Exhibit FAX an eight-foot masonry wall or architecturally designed fence to be construct at the rear of a 20 foot landscape strip along Friant Road I could not find any construction details, approved or not approved, of the required masonry wall or architectural designed fence in the tentative map or final map files. I did, however, find a check-off list (attached) by which it appears someone may have initialled off Condition Nos. 4, 7 and 8 and then later scratched the initials out. From past experience, I have found where there have been sign JEFFREY M. RED:) Tentative Tract No. 2739/UGM 04 Page 2 March 7, 1997 offs where masonry walls were required and they were not installed. Brown-Buntin and Associates, acoustical engineers, has advised the City that a wood fence must have an actual thickness of one and one-half inch with no openings or crack in order to mitigate the traffic noise from collector and arterial streets. I have attached the current alternative to masonry walls approved by the Director. This alternative, however, should not be used for an Expressway unless analyzed by an acoustical engineer. It is most likely that the Planning and Inspection Director, George Kerber, permitted-the wood fence to be constructed for a more pleasant appearance at fee request of the developer, even though it does not provide the necessary noise attenuation.

I did, however, find a check-off list (attached) by which it appears someone may have initialled off Condition Nos. 4, 7 and 8 and then later scratched the initials out. The analysis for the project was Floyd Linderman. From past experience, I have found where Mr. Linderman has sign off where masonry walls were required and they were not installed.

FAE � DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Mailing Address P.O.Box 11867 TREVOR D.GLENN,M.D. Fresno,California 93775 DAVE OUNCAN DIRECTOR Phone: (209) 488-3757 ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR June 11, 1976 Mr. Al Solis Deputy Director of Planning City of Fresno Planning and Inspection Dept. 2326 Fresno Street Fresno, California 93721 Dear Mr. Solis: Subject: UGM Application No. 004 I have reviewed the single-family residential subdivision of 363 lots proposed in UGM Application No. 004 with Jerry Freeman, of your staff, and have furnished Mr. Freeman with draft calculations for setbacks, berms or barriers that would be needed to provide a residential noise environment along Friant Road that would be compatible with the desired levels incorporated in development design requirements for residental structures. along Herndon Avenue. As you realize, Friant Road is dissimilar to Herndon Avenue in that traffic density, truck mix, speed, and route classifications `- are not the same, and thus the noise propagated by vehicular traffic will also be different. Fortunately, future residential structures along Friant Road will not be subjected to the high noise levels currently being experienced along Herndon Avenue, and, therefore, the development criteria for noise compatability need not be as stringent. With this in mind, I have calculated some "what if" examples for you, and they can be found on the attached sheet. The basic assumptions that were incorporated in the calculations used to derive the L10 projections were an ADT of 8800 vehicles of which 5% (versus 9% on Herndon Avenue) were trucks, average speed would be 45 mph (versus 55 mph on Herndon Avenue) , traffic would flow on four 12 foot lanes with a 4 foot center divider, a 30 foot setback from the highway shoulder to the rear property line (as proposed on the parcel map) would be utilized, and a design criteria of a L10 70dBA would be the maximum desired noise level. The 1,10 AN APPIR\:ATIVE ACTION/EQUAL OPPORTUNITY DEPARTMENT Al Solis June 119 1976 Page Two of 70dBA is the same level utilized in the Herndon Avenue calculations, and is used as the criteria for an acceptable noise level by Cal Trans. It should be mentioned' that residences within 800 feet of traffic control signs will experience an increase in noise from truck traffic and a decrease from automobile traffic. All calculations were based on criteria deliniated in Fundamentals and Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise, by Bolt Becanek and Newman Inc. , and on data received .from the City of Fresno Traffic Engineering -Department. I hope the attached examples will aid you in planning future developmer.: '= along Friant Road, and please do not hesitate to contact me should you have further questions or requests. ;X Y 4 4 Very truly yours, Kenneth C. Stuart, R. S. Environmental Health System KCS:md cc: Ken Koch, City Planning Attachment ATTACHMENT 1 UGM Application No. 004 Noise Level Projections 1. Using a 55 foot setback and no barrier*, the exterior noise level at the building site would be an approximate L10 of 72dBA, a level which would exceed the Cal Trans design criteria. The 55 foot setback would be the resultant building location if the parcel map included in the UGM application were to be approved, and the development were to utilize a 30 foot setback from the road to the rear property line plus a required 25 foot setback from the property line to the residential structure. 2. Using a 100 foot setback and no barrier, the exterior noise level "`- at the building site would be an approximate L10 of 67dBA, a level which would comply with the Cal Trans design criteria. 3. Using a 6 foot barrier (2 foot effective height) placed 30 feet from the highway and 25 feet from the residential structure, the exterior noise level at the dwelling would be an approximate L10 of 64 dBA, a level which would comply with the Cal Trans design criteria. The 2 foot effective height is derived from the fact that the vehicular noise source (excluding truck exhausts) is propagated at approximately 4 feet above the highway, thus leaving 2 feet of barrier to effectively attenuate the noise. if the proposed tract is 2 feet below the grade of the highway, the 6 foot barrier would not attenuate the noise as the noise path between the source and the receiver would not be interrupted. 4. Using an 8 foot barrier (4 foot effective height) placed 30 feet from the highway and 25 feet from the residential structure, ._. the exterior noise level at the dwelling would be an approximate L10 of 59dBA, a level which would comply with the Cal Trans design criteria. 5. Using a 6 foot barrier (2 foot effective height) placed 10 feet from the highway and 40 feet from the residential structure, the exterior noise level at the dwelling would be an approximate 40 of 62dBA, a level which would comply with the Cal Trans design criteria. 6. Using an 8 foot barrier (4 foot effective height) placed 10 feet from the highway and 40 feet from the residential structure, the exterior noise level at the dwelling would be an approximate Ll0 of 59dBA, a level which would comply with the Cal Trans design criteria.

Remarks : G1 0003/F Cny of FRESON REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. COUNCIL MEETING 4124184 �APPROVED BY DATE : April 17, 1984 DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR p � Q FROM: George A. Kerber, Director CITYMANAGER Development Department BY: Hubert E. St. John, Deputy Director Development Services Division SUBJECT: REQUIREMENT FOR CIRCULAR DRIVEWAYS ON AUDUBON DRIVE BACKGROUND Dr. and Mrs. George Kisling III, who are having a home constructed at 310 W. Audubon Drive, previously requested an oral appearance before the Council to request they not be required to construct a circular driveway.. Circular driveways (and 50 foot building setbacks) have been required by the City for single-family lots fronting on Audubon Drive. The requirement has been a condition of seven subdivision maps (Tract Nos. 2675, 2739, 2770, 2771, 2821, 3067, and 3305) approved since 1976. Audubon Drive is designated by the Woodward Park Community Plan as a scenic arterial street east of N. Blackstone Avenue to N. First Street. At the subdividers' request, circular driveways were required on the lots fronting on this section of Audubon Drive as a substitute for the construction of frontage roads, which are normally required on arterial streets. Audubon Drive west of N. Blackstone Avenue is designated as a scenic collector street. Circular driveways were required on the lots fronting on this section of Audubon Drive to meet a Municipal Code requirement, since repealed, for some kind on on-site vehicle turnaround on collector streets to permit vehicles to enter the street in a forward motion. The specific requirement for circular driveway (rather than some other kind of turnaround) was based on the scenic drive status of Audubon Drive and the objective of maintaining an "estate"-like appearance. Eighty single-family lots have been created along Aubudon Drive, 44 on the east side of N. Blackstone Avenue, and 36 on the west side. Eighteen of the lots having direct access to Audubon Drive have been developed. Circular driveways were constructed on 16 of the 18 lots. It is the staff 's conclusion that the requirement for circular driveways is a well-established and appropriate feature of development on the scenic drive, and that it should be maintained. However, it appears appropriate to permit exceptions on a case by case basis for the collector street segment of Audubon Drive (west of Blackstone Avenue) , particularly since the Code requirement for turnarounds on collector streets has been repealed. Lots on Audubon Drive are subject to site plan review, which would provide the opportunity to review any proposed alternative driveway design. THE ISSUE The issue is whether to permit alternatives to circular driveways on Audubon Drive. ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE. TO COUNCIL; IMPLICATIONS OF ALTERNATIVES 1. Modify the requirement for circular drivewayson Audubon Drive (as recommended by staff) to permit exceptions on a case by case basis. 2. Delete the requirement for circular driveways. 3. Take no action, maintaining the present requirement for circular driveways. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the Council modify the condition of approval of Tract Nos. 2675, 2739, 2770, 2771, 2821, 3067, and 3305 relating to circular driveways, to read as follows: 1. Circular driveways shall be required for all lots having direct access to Audubon Drive, provided that the Director, upon request of a property owner , may permit an alternative driveway design for the segment of Audubon Drive designated as a collector street.

SOLIS, Director Development Department SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 2739/UGM 04 - ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 859 Councilman Bredefeld has inquired as to the history of the existing fence located along the east side of North Friant Road north of Audubon Drive. That fence was installed as a condition of Subdivision Map No. 2737 Tentative Tract No. 2739/UGM 04 and the related Environmental Assessment No. 859 were filed on October 12, 1976, reviewed by Commission on November 16, 1976, approved by Council on January 13, 1977 and recorded on September 22, 1977. Staff completed an initial study that resulted in a requirement for an Environmental Impact Report for Environmental Assessment No. 859 on May 25, 1976. That requirement was appealed. The Planning Commission upheld the applicant's appeal on October 5, 1976. Staff issued a Negative Declaration based only on Planning Commission action on October 6, 1976. It should be noted that the Fresno County Health Department response dated June 11, 1976, on noise from the Friant Expressway (attached) under example No. 4 clearly indicated that the noise barrier should have been an eight-foot solid masonry wall. It appears that the Expressway Area overlay standards were not in place at the time the map was approved. However, the Subdivision Standards Section of the Zoning Ordinance appears to have been in effect. Section No. 12-1011 requires the through lots to have a minimum 6-foot high masonry wall at their rear along Friant Road. City Council approved Tract No. 2739 subject to the Subdivision Review Committee Report dated November 2, 1976, (attached) which required per Condition Nos. 2, 4, 7, and 8, and per the notations on the Exhibit FAX an eight-foot masonry wall or architecturally designed fence to be construct at the rear of a 20 foot landscape strip along Friant Road. I could not find any construction details, approved or not approved, of the required masonry wall or architectural designed fence in the tentative map or final map files. I did, however, find a check-off list (attached) by which it appears someone may have initialled off Condition Nos. 4, 7 and 8 and then later scratched the initials out. From past experience, I have found where there have been sign JEFFREY M. REID Tentative Tract No. 2739/UGM 04 Page 2 March 7, 1997 offs where masonry walls were required and they were not installed. Brown-Buntin and Associates, acoustical engineers, has advised the City that a wood fence must have an actual thickness of one and one-half inch with no openings or crack in order to mitigate the traffic noise from collector and arterial streets. I have attached the current alternative to masonry walls approved by the Director. This alternative, however, should not be used for an Expressway unless analyzed by an acoustical engineer. It is most likely that the Planning and Inspection Director, George Kerber, permitted the wood fence to be constructed for a more pleasant appearance at fee request of the developer, even though it does not provide the necessary noise attenuation.

Kassabian, City Design Engineer SUBJECT: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION TO VACATE THE RELINQUISHMENT OF ACCESS RIGHTS ON LOT 1 OF TRACT NO. " 2739 BACKGROUND The Bombay Corporation is requesting the vacation of the i relinquishment of access rights on Lot 1 of Tract No. 2739, as shown on Exhibit "A" of the attached Resolution. The purpose of the vacation is to allow the proposed development direct access to Shepherd Avenue. Access was restricted on this parcel originally i because only the southerly portion of Shepherd was developed by Tract No . 2739 , but staff now believes the restriction is no longer necessary because Shepherd is fully developed. i i The Traffic Division, other City Departments, and utility agencies have reviewed and approved this proposal subject to the following conditions : 1 . The vacation of the full relinquishment of access rights shall be subject to the owner entering into a covenant with the City of Fresno regulating the development of the driveway system and access points to East Shepherd Avenue. 2 . The conditions of the covenant would require that the i ingress and egress on Shepherd Avenue shall be limited to a maximum of two driveways with a circular driveway connection, or a driveway system that facilitates on-site turnaround and eliminates the i need for backing movement onto Shepherd Avenue. 3 . A plot plan showing layout of access points and the I I driveway system to be constructed shall be reviewed and approved by the City Traffic Engineer prior to issuance of building permits . I i I I i I t ! I i ( • y -2- Environmental Assessment 90-4 shows that with the imposition and fulfillment of the conditions noted above there is no substantial evidence that the proposed vacation may have a significant effect on the environment . Accordingly, a mitigated negative declaration is the appropriate environmental finding for this project and is presented to the Council for consideration at this time. The public hearing was originally scheduled for June 12 , 1990, but was continued by Council at staff ' s request in order to clarify some legal concerns . The vacation, after approval by the Council at the public hearing, will become effective upon recordation. The applicant ' s proposed plans for development would require modification if the applicant ' s request is denied. ISSUE Shall the Council approve the applicant ' s request for the vacation of the relinquishment of access rights on Lot 1 of Tract No . 2739? CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMUM&TIONS It is recommended that the Council conduct the required public hearing and, at the close of the hearing, adopt the attached Resolution to vacate the relinquishment of access rights on Lot 1 of Tract No. 2739 .

A copy of the draft Negative Declaration has been filed with the Fresno City Clerk. The draft Negative Declaration indicates that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) need not be prepared for the project and that all requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Fresno Environmental Quality Ordinance have been met . You should be aware that the draft Negative Declaration does not imply approval of any related applications. Any moderate environmental effects that have been identified on the Environmental Checklist may be considerations in the evaluation of related applications . Pursuant to CEQA, a notice of intent to prepare a Negative Declaration will be published on May 7, 1990, initiating a 15 day appeal period. All appeals must be filed with the Development Department no later than May 22, 1990. Comments made during the appeal process can be supplemented, refined and revised, for a period of six days, not to exceed a total comment period of twenty-one days . Any entitlement applications (rezoning, site plan review, etcetera) that you have filed for this project which have not already been completed will be processed as soon as possible. Information concerning such applications will be sent to you separately.

Avenue for Lot 1 of Tract No. 2739 , located at the JACQUELINE L RYLE, southeast corner of East Shepherd and North Fuller City Clerk 2nd Floor — City Hall Avenues . 2326 Fresno Street Fresno, CA 93721 The proposed project has been evaluated with respect to each item on the attached environ- mental checklist. This completed checklist reflects comments of any applicable responsible agencies and research and analysis conducted to examine the interrelationship between the f proposed project and the physical environment. The information contained in the Environ- i mental Assessment Application, the checklist, and any attachments to the checklist, combine i to form a record indicating that an initial environmental study has been completed in compli- I ante with the State CEQA Guidelines and the California Environmental Quality Act. j Any rating of "2" on the checklist indicates that a specific adverse environmental effect has been identified in a category which is of sufficient magnitude to be of concern. Such an effect may be inherent in the nature and magnitude of the project or may be related to the design and characteristics of the individual project. Effects rated in this manner are not sufficient in themselves to require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and/or have been mitigated to the extent feasible.- All new development activity and many non-physical projects contribute directly or indirectl7 toward a cumulative impact on the physical environment. The incremental effect contributed by this project toward such a cumulative effect is not considered substantial in itself. The proposed project is not expected to result in any significant adverse effects in terms of the factors considered on the environmental checklist, including any such factors for which minor effects have been identified. Cumulative effects of a significant nature are also not expected. The proposed project will not result in any adverse effects which fall within the 'Mandatory Findings of Significance" contained in Sectionl5065of the State CEQA Guidelines. The finding is therefore-made that the proposed project will nct have a significant adverse effect on the environment. This Negative Declaration will be deemed final and effective if no appeal is filed in the manner specified by Section 12-513 of the Fresno Municipal Code.

The subject parcel, Lot 1 of Tract 2739 , is located at the southeast corner of North Fuller and East Shepherd Avenue. In order to specifically implement this request, the project proponent will be required to obtain approval of a request to vacate an existing agreement to relinquish vehicular access from the parcel to Shepherd Avenue. 19 . 3 - Potential Traffic Hazards : The project site is located on Shepherd Avenue, an arterial street anticipated to carry a significant level of traffic, and adjacent to an existing railroad crossing . Development of an additional access point on Shepherd Avenue in close proximity to the railroad crossing could present a hazard as local traffic backs out into oncoming traffic. In order to prevent this from occurring, access will be limited to two points along Shepherd Avenue with a circular driveway being required or to a single driveway system that facilitates on-site turnaround and elimates the need for backing movements onto Shepherd Avenue. 13 . 1 - Aesthetics : Shepherd Avenue is designated as a scenic boulevard on adopted City plans. As such, this designation mandates the maintenance of an open landscaped area along both sides of Shepherd Avenue. In order to preserve and enhance this aesthetic setting, development of access must be accomplished in a manner that continues to maintain and enhance the area 's mandated 30 foot landscaped setback along Shepherd Avenue. Findings: Based on the information received from concerned agencies, the comments generated during the vacation feasibility study for this project, and this initial study, it would appear that potential environmental concerns associated with this project can be mitigated through the imposition of the above noted mitigation measures. Staff therefore concludes that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate for this project . Those mitigation measures which are conditions to the issuance of this finding shall be monitored and implemented at the time of approval of the vacation request and again at the time of issuance of any building permit for this property. vs 6709T/330 z P.W.

He stated that Attorney Carl Motschiedler, representing the developers, appeared before the Council on October 3, 1978 citing his client's understanding that the amendment to the subdivision agreement would allow Shepherd Avenue to be developed as a two-lane road similar to Van Ness Boulevard with parking on the south side and a bike path separated from the roadway on the north side of the street, and would not include lane striping patterns which have been added since the Council action to amend the agreement, and which includes no parking on the south side and bike lanes on both sides of the street. Mr. Roberts used maps to illustrate the area in question, and responded to questions of the Council. Councilman Crosby indicated staff did not follow Council instructions in this regard, and Mr. Roberts responded there was some lack of clarity on the Council direction; however, it was the understanding of staff that the configuration outlined in Attachment A to Council material for this meeting was what the Council wished inasmuch as it was presented at the time the issue was discussed and approved. Carl Motschiedler, representing the developers, stated it was not his desire to blame staff, but is a matter of interpretation of the agreement that calls for a two-lane undivided street and what is desired by the developers is a boulevard-nature and designa- tion such as that on Van Ness Boulevard; stated that "no parking" signs blight the street; that it is his understanding that the Council's intent was for the construction of a rural- type street; that as to the bike path, that it was not included in the original Plan; and took issue with designation for high speed use for a portion of the street, contending that normal speed designation would be more consistent with the area. He requested that if there is to be a bike path, that it be placed to the north of the street only, not on both sides. Traffic Engineer Whitmer responded to Mr. Motschiedler's concerns and questions raised by the Council. Upon question of Mayor Whitehurst, Mr. Motschiedler stated his client wishes to have parking on the south side of the street, removal of the "no parking" signs recently installed, and two travel lanes which would leave room for left lane pocket turns. Mayor Whitehurst questioned if the developers would be willing to bear the costs of the requested improvements and Mr. Motschiedler responded he was not given a blank check by his clients; however, that some financial arrangement could be worked out. Chief Administrative Officer Newfarmer noted it would be costly to obliterate the l striping; however, indicated that was not the crux of the issue, stating the problem is parking, the bike lanes and "no parking" signs on the south sides, and bike lanes on both sides, of Shepherd Avenue, requested for removal, which would allow parking on the south side of the street and placement of the bike lane to the north side of the street with all improvements to be made at the expense of the developer. Mr. Roberts stated it is important for staff to understand the intent of the Council as to the development of Shepherd Avenue inasmuch as adopted plans call for full arterial standards and other proposed developments are in the planning stage. Mr. Newfarmer said it would be contingent upon the type of development that is proposed and indicated staff may return later when that occurs. Mr. Motschiedler requested the issue of the trees also be resolved and staff was directed to contact the developers thereon. On motion of Councilman Crosby, seconded by Councilman Doig, duly carried. IT IS RESOLVED that staff is hereby directed to remove "no parking" signs on the south side of Shepherd Avenue in Woodward Park Estates, and to remove bike lanes on both sides of Shephard in such area; further, to install left lane pocket turns and bike lane on the north side of the street, with the cost of all such changes to be borne by the developer.

On September 13, 1977 , the Council approved the Final Sub- division Map for Tract No. 2739 along with the appropriate public improvement plans and development agreements. Since that date, the developer of this Tract, Bombay Corporation (Mr. Ed Kashian and Mr. Frank Parr) , has on several occasions requested that the staff and/or the Council modify or amend various requirements on the Tract. One of these requests occurred on October 3, 1978, when Mr. Carl Motschiedler, representing the developer, appeared before the Council regarding the lane striping and signing on East Shepherd Avenue within the limits of Tract No. 2739 . At that time Mr. Motschiedler referenced the amendment to the subdivision agreement which was approved by the Council on July 11, 1978, and provided for a modified street cross section for Shepherd Avenue (Attachment A) , and noted concerns relative to the staff implementation of the amended agreement. The concerns expressed by Mr. Motschiedler indicated that it was his client' s understanding that the amendment to the sub- division agreement would allow Shepherd Avenue to be developed as a two-lane roadway similar to Van Ness Boulevard with park- ing on the south side and a bike path separated from the roadway on the north side of Shepherd Avenue and further that his client had no previous knowledge of plans for the current lane striping pattern which includes no parking on the south side and bike lanes on both the north and south sides of the street. The amended subidivsion agreement approved by Council on, July 11, 1978, allows the street cross section on Shepherd Avenue to be developed, on an interim basis , to an undivided roadway (without a raised median island) but further allows for the future construction of additional lanes to the north to bring Shepherd Avenue to full arterial street standards as it is now classified in the circulation element of the adopted Woodward Park Community Plan. The interim develop- ment was allowed because of the interface at Shepherd Avenue between the adopted rural and urban land use densities which if developed as adopted are not projected to generate enough traffic to justify a standard arterial roadway at this location. This interim use is planned to continue until such time as changes in land use densities require expansion of Shepherd Avenue to arterial standards. Shepherd Avenue in this area has been constructed by the developer in accordance with the approved amendment to the subdivision agreement (Attachment A) . After a street is constructed by a developer, standard practice calls for the City to place the lane markings on the new street. This has been done on Shepherd Avenue. The lane markings were done in accordance with Attachment B, which is taken from the approved construction drawings on the project. These draw- ings which were prepared by the developer 's engineer and approved by the City pursuant to the July 11 , 1978 subdivision agreement amendment. Therefore, the current lane striping configuration consists of a 5-foot bike lane on both the north and south side of Shepherd Avenue, two 12-foot travel lanes (one eastbound and one westbound) separated by a 12- foot lane providing for left-turn movements, with prohibition of parking on the south side of Shepherd Avenue. yq f C J so; uOTSTAOad agq g4TM Aemppoa paPTATpun up oq ApM -Pena PapTATP a moa; (v qu9urgopg4v) anuOAV Paagd9gg UO quamaarnbaa uotgonagsuoo ago Pabueg0 goTqM 4uam99abp uOTSTATpgns aqq oq quampuamp ue panoadde 'gL6T 'TZ ATnr U,o '1Touno� agy qua— maw uoTSTnTpgnS oq quampuauv - iii . • (D quamgoeggV) buTXapd Ou g4Tm aupT 9XTq goo;-V P Pup saueT T9Aea4 punoggsea Z papnTouT goTqM ggpTM uT qaa; gZ buTaq se anueAv paagdegS ;o ;Teq gqnos aqq BUT -molts anueAK paagdagS so; sbuTmeaP uoTgonagsuoo aqq ;o Tenoadde g4Tm buOTe ' LL6T '£T aagma4deS uo paaan000 dem uOTSTATpgns TeuT; ago ;O TEAOadde aqy •lpnoa c -H TpuTg -II 'asodand stg4 ao; paziTT4n aq pTnoo anuaAv paagdagS ;o apTs g4nos pue ggaou aqq uO PapTAoad saueT 9TOAOTq aqq gegq P94VOTpuT 33e4s . aqy •anuaAV paagdegg ;o apTs gqnos aqq UO PDIPUTUIT19 buTaq SvA XlemapTs 90uTs Xaed PaempoOM oq XTem 04 PagsTM ogM suvTagsapad ao; apem SUOTSTAoad buTPaebaa bur498m LL6T 'ET Aivnupr aTagg qe TTounoo aq4 Aq uaaouoo aag4an; sem aaagy (sueTd 48824S p9n0addy - g qu9wgoegqq) •anu8AV paagdagS ;o apTs gqnos aqg UO aoeTd uT Moa sT gano ,9jgv4unom„ sTgy •saueT Taneag punoqqsea OMg aqq 40Ta4s9a Oq qou se Os eaae paned aqg ;;O ATTETgaed Xaed pup SaaT4 og abemep 4nog4TM gano aqq a9AO OATap og OTOTgan a 4Tmaad uoT4en4TS AOu95a9ma uE uT PTnoM goTqM pup 'gano ,OTgequnotu e pamaaq sT goTqM 'uOT4vTTe4suT a0; pasodoaa sem gano TeTOadS a 'spaau buTXaed Aouabaama agep -omm000e oy -auml aToAoTq qoo;-q a pup (punog4spa) OT;;ea4 ;O saueT 4003-ZT oM4 ao; pauupTd buTaq AEMpeOa aqq ;o ;leg ggnos agq uT P94Tnsaa buTXaed ;o uOT4euTMTT2 •anuOAV paegdagS ;O apTs gqnos aqq uo p9dOT9A9P aq og samoq aqq oquT buTPR9T sAeM8ATaP buOT ag4 .pue (Xopggas BUTPITnq qoo; -OS a gqTM 'ggdap gaa; OOZ Pup abe4uoa; 4893 SLT) 9401 azTS 061VT aqq ;o asneoaq 499a4s aq4 uT uegq a9g4ea a4Ts-uO pa4epomm000p aq pTnoo buTXaed aourS ;3pgs aqq Aq pa4aoddns spm srtgy •anueAV paegdagS ;o apTs ggnos 9q4 uo buTXapd ;O uOT49UTM T9 aqy E ( •94noa TOOgos 9q4 10 eaae 9q4 uT 4daoxa) anuaAV paagdagS UO buT4gbTT 499a4s 31001q-pTm 10; 4aamaaTnb9a aq4 ;o uOT4euTurcl9 aqy •Z •anueAv paagdagS ;o apTs gqnos aqg buOTe (egn0a Toogos agq ;o eaae aq4 uT gd9Ox9) SXTem9PTs 30 uOT4puTmTT9 aqy •l :aaam suOT4p0T;Tpom asogy '6ELZ 'ON goeay o4 queoeCpe anueAv paagdagS uo SguamaaTnbaa uoTgonagsuoo ga9a4s paepue4s 04 SuOT4e0T;TPom Tea9n8s papuamooaa 'aadoTOAep aqq ;o gsanbaa aq4 4p maTAaa a949e ';;els 's0T4sTa94oeaeg0 uOT4Tsupa4 uegan/Team asag4 ;o 4Tnsaa a sv •LL6T 'ET Aaenuer ;o buT498m TTounoo aqq 4e 6ELZ 'ON 40eay ;o dVW 43eay 9AT4equay aqq ;O uotgeaaPTSuoo s, TTounOD agq butanp passnoSTP sem AgTsuap upgan up 04 A4Tsu9P Teana a moa; uOT4TSuea4 sTgy •aangeu uT uegan aq oq anuaAV paagdagS ;o g4nos asn pueT pup ean4eu uT Teana aq oq anuaAV paagdagS ;o ggaou asn pueT a0; sapTAoad paag STg4 uT ueTd A4Tunmuo� Xaed paempooM pa4dope aqy •levo d -cTe-w- aATgp4uay 'I •S4Tnsaa buTmollo3 ago ggTm 'buTXaem pup u014panbT;uOo 499a4s quaaano aqq Og POT goTqM Sguana ;o aouanbas aqq buTgonags -uOOaa g4Tm buOTe '400[gns aqq uo sbuT4aam TTounoD snOTAaad ;o segnuTm pagoapasaa seq ;;e4s aq4 'ease sTgq uT 9nu9AV paagdags oq paebea ggTm aadOTanap pup ';;els agq 'TTounoo aqq ;o suoT4u84uT aqq A;TguapT Alae9TO aaom o4 4dm944e up ui y. • -3- additional lanes to the north should development occur north of Shepherd Avenue to a higher density than presently provided in the Woodward Park Community Plan. IV. Revised Construction Drawings. Based on the July 11, 1978 amendment to thesu�ivision agreement (III. above) , revised construction drawings were approved by the City on July 12, 1978 . The drawings were prepared by the developer ' s engineer and clearly show a 5-foot bike lane on both the north and south side of Shepherd Avenue, along with three 12-foot "driving lanes" (travel and turning lanes) which clearly did not provide for parking. (Attachment B ) The current street cross section and lane delineation on Shepherd Avenue reflect what staff feels is the minimum interim traffic channelization pattern that is necessary on a low volume, high speed arterial street such as Shepherd Avenue. The staff' s position is based on the following: 1. Shepherd Avenue as now constructed and delineated is designed on an interim basis to less than arterial street standards . The current design, however, is adequate to provide for traffic generated by land use densities indicated on the Woodward Park Community Plan for this area. The current design also allows flexibility, in that, if these densities are increased, the right of way and street location have been protected for future widening. 2. It is desirable to provide for bicycle and pedes- trian movement along Shepherd Avenue from the residential areas east of Friant Road to Woodward Park. The inclusion of bicycle facilities, although not specified in the Community Plan for this area, is in fact in accord with the goals of the Master Bikeway Plan, which indicates a desire to connect major residential areas to major recreational areas. Provisions for these facilities were discussed and identified at the time the tentative map was approved by the Council. 3. The existence of large residential lots makes it feasible to eliminate the parking lane along the south side of Shepherd Avenue as originally requested by the developer and discussed at the time the tentative map was approved, except where the additional width is needed for right-turn lanes and bus stop areas. A wider street section has been constructed in these areas . 4 . Separate left-turn lanes should be installed at all intersections along this portion of Shepherd Avenue. This determination was based on the following: a. Studies show that the addition of left-turn channelization at a non-signalized intersection will, on an average, reduce the overall acci- dents by 298. b. The capacity of the roadway will be increased over 508 by the addition of separate left- turn lanes at the intersections. The staff feels that this higher capacity, which is now provided by the current lane striping, will be necessary even if higher densities are not developed in the area.

Aldredge, 7v�i Acting Chief Administrative Off 'FROM: Public Works Department�/4 ouau SUBJECT: Amendment to Subdivision Agreement V4711117? Tract No. 2739-Woodward Park Estates On September 13 , 1977, the Council approved the final subdivision tract map of Tract No. 2739, "Woodward Park Estates" and authorized the Public Works Director to execute the subdivision agreement for this tract on behalf of the City. Among the conditions of the agreement so executed was the requirement that the subdivider, Bombay Corporation, a California Corporation, shall perform and complete certain work and improvements shown on construction plans entitled City of Fresno Drawings Nos. 15-F-73 and 74 , 15-C-3630-3659 , 10-C-3379-3399 and 10-C-3428-3432. At the June 20, 1978 Council meeting Mr. Carl Motschiedler , representing the subdivider, requested a design change on Shepherd Avenue from a divided roadway to an undivided roadway with provision for additional lanes to the north should development occur north of Shepherd Avenue to a higher density than presently provided in the Woodward Park Community Plan. The subdivider reasons that the requested change would provide the rural density residential environment contemplated in the Woodward Park Community Plan whereas the present design is standard with typical urban arterial streets. On May 30, 1978, Tom Caswell appeared before the Council representing Leo Wilson and requested that the Council give consideration to an amendment to the Woodward Park Community Plan for an area of approximately 400 acres to the immediate north of Shepherd Avenue. The plan amendment proposes a substantial increase in land use densities that would impact the traffic bearing capacity of Shepherd Avenue. The staff analysis of the proposed amendment and recommendations will be presented to the Council on July 11 , 1978. Should the Council elect to pursue the plan amendment, the revised design for Shepherd Avenue now being considered would not foreclose future options for the ultimate development of Shepherd Avenue to a full arterial standard as shown on attached Exhibit "A" . The Council, by minute action, approved the design change in concept presented by Mr. Motschiedler and directed staff to return with the necessary documentation to. implement this action in three weeks. City staff met with the subdivider on June 26, 1978 and agreed on the attached geometric cross section for Shepherd Avenue. The construction plans are being revised by the subdivider ' s engineer to incorporate the new design. quawgaegqV 8L/£/L MtT :Ifv sagEgsg Nand p.zemPOOM '6£LZ 'ON 4OPal 'quawaazbv uoTSTnTpgng oq quawpuawV aqq 'ous9ad ;o AgTJ 944 ;o JTpgaq uo 'agnoexe oq zogaazTG S42Ot4 oTTgnd agq aTTaoggnv z •sagEgsg Naed p3eNipooM '6£LZ 'ON 409JI quawaazbv uoTSTnTpgng oq quawpuawV aqq anoaddV 'T : TTounoO aqq gpgq popuawwooaa sT qI : 9N0IIVGNaWW0DZH •quawpuawV STgq dq pagoa33E qou aze quawaa.zbV uoTSTnTpgng jeuTbTzo aqq UT zapTnTpgns aqq ;o squawazTnbaj aaggo aqq •zaprnTpgns aqq dq pagnoaxa pup 33egs dq peapdaid uaaq seq abuEgo ubTsap aqq agpiodsoouT oq 6£LZ *ON goeal zo3 4uawa9JBV uoTSTnTpgng aqq oq quawpuawv uy •quawaned ;o ggpTM awes aqq ATTPTquassa q4 TM tCgToedEo oT;;Ezq quatenTnba sapTno.zd AempEoa Mau pasodoad aqL d � r n � I fi o' i o L 1 b ' AJ w LA Z n, --1 'Q Cl z m Q e -�- o � N � � n R1 O An� Z Dp rn °••• m °: ev rn Z ao w (b t R :►r V1 W C N �^ ISO, n Di w � w CITY OF FRESNO Agenda Item No . o� "" 'i- /"/;"I Council Meeting 6/20/78 Department File No. MEMORANDUM i TO: Jalleors E. Aldredge, Acting Chief Xministrative O ficer FROM: Public Works Departme SUBJECT: Report on Woodward Park Estates Tract No. 2739 (Request by Carl Motschiedler) On June 6, 1978 , Carl Motschiedler, representing the Bombay Corporation (Frank Parr and Ed Kashian) , the developers of Tract No. 2739 , Woodward Park Estates (UGM 004) , addressed the Council on several matters relating to this development, a 343 lot residential subdivision now under construction.

Fire Station No. 13 (UGM Agreement No. 2) Credit for City Taxes from Predevelopment Period; 4 . City Contribution to Fire Station Fees for Non-UGM Areas; 5 . Forkner Ditch Piping for Water Conveyance by Fresno Irrigation District; 6 . Full Cost Reimbursements and Fees for Construction of Sewer and Water Facilities in the UGM Area. \ \\\ Attachment "A" to this memorandum addresses the City staff ' s response to previous discussions and proposals made by Bombay \\ Corporation on these matters. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council : 1. Defer action relative to the modification to the design of Shepherd Avenue, pending results of staff analysis on proposed Woodward Park Community Plan Amendment. 2.

Back Tax Credit for Fire Station No. 13 With respect to Bombay ' s request for a contribution to the front-end capital costs of Fire Station No. 13, based on 90 percent of the back taxes collected on the property developed under UGM Application No. 044 , staff would not support this request. The cost-revenue provisions allow for credit of 90 percent of city taxes against net capital requirements for purposes of cost-revenue analysis. It was not intended nor does the policy provide for a payment of these back revenues toward the cost of a non-deferrable capital improvement. Therefore, for these reasons, as well as the feeling that these conditions are a consistent application of the policy and should not be altered after the fact, staff recommends no action by the Council on this request. 4 . City Contribution to Fire Station Fees for Non-UGM Areas Staff recommends no action be taken on the request to reimburse the developer for that portion of the primary fire service area of the new station which is included in the non-UGM (urban) area. The principal point in support of this recommendation is the fact that while this area is in both the extended and primary zone of the service area of the station located at Fresno and Wrenwood, if no development were to have occurred beyond the UGM boundary line, no additional fire station would be constructed by the City to provide that this area would be within the primary zone of a City fire station. Further, credit was given in the cost revenue calculations, under the provisions of UGM Agreement No. 2, for the operation and maintenance costs of the fire station for that portion of the Fire Service Primary Zone determined to be in the non-UGM area. Further, it is staff ' s opinion that these provisions , now contained in the executed agreement have been a consistent application of the UGM policy and should not be altered after the fact. 5. Piping of Forkner Ditch Regarding the request for the City to bear the burden of the cost for piping of the Forkner Canal on the grounds that such action would serve only a water conservation effort for the irrigation of Woodward Park, the staff would recommend no action be taken on this matter. The City of Fresno is a contract customer of the Fresno Irrigation District and as such is entitled to the same rights to water as other District customers. With respect to the City's role in the undergrounding of the Forkner Ditch, the City, acting as the local agency in the administration of the State Subdivision Map Act, Fresno Irrigation District requirements, and pursuant to the Fresno Municipal Code, is responsible for the application and enforcement of mandated require- ments. The method of water conveyance that is employed by the Fresno Irrigation District, in the service of its customers, is the District' s prerogative.

Fresno, California 93705 CITY OF FRESNO Subject: Woodward Park Estates - Tract 2739 Subdivision Agreement - Sewer Easements Dear Mr. Kashian: Your recent letter concerning the status of the easements for the Subdivision Agreement mentioned above has been referred to me for answer. As we discussed in our telephone conversation this morning, the easements with which you are most vitally concerned are those which cross the Mesple property and the Pecarovich property. The Mesple family has refused to agree to the City's offer. We have , therefore, asked the City Attorney' s Office to begin the condemnation process on this parcel at the very earliest possible date . Parcel No. 2 , is owned -by three sisters and one brother of the Pecarovich family. The delays in getting this parcel have been occasioned by illness in the family and by the fact that one of the members was traveling on vacation and was unavailable. Be- cause of these delays , we have also asked the City Attorney' s Office to begin the condemnation process on this parcel . We will keep you informed of the progress on these matters .

Aldredge Acting Chief Administrative Offfici4LU uFROM: Public Works Department SUBJECT: Resolution Quit-Claiming a City Owned \--�\eVo Bombay Corporation (UGM #004 - Tract 2739 "Woodward Park Estates" ) RPc ore-a� On September 13, 1977, the Council approved the Final Subdivision Map of Tract No. 2739, "Woodward Park Estates. " As a condition of approval of said Final Map, the Subdivider, Bombay Corporation, was required to dedicate a water well site to the City of Fresno and to develop a water well to City Standards. Bombay Corporation delivered a Grant Deed to the City for a water well site and proceeded to develop the required well. However, after extensive testing at the site it was found that this particular well site would not produce sufficient water flow to satisfy the minimum requirements for domestic use and fire protection. The Subdivider, subsequently selected an alternate location for the well to comply with the UGM water well requirements and has made the required dedication of the new site to the City. By the attached Resolution the City is quit-claiming to Bombay Corporation, all of our rights and interest to the original well site. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council : 1. Adopt the attached Resolution quit-claiming certain City owned property to Bombay Corporation; and, 2. Authorize the Chief Administrative Officer , Pro Tem to execute the required document on behalf of the City. TER:DV:ljw 4/17/78 �a i FILING SLIP I,By 2r/ % Date 't' W-7 Job Address File New Constr .

Aldredge Acting Chief Administrative Officer FROM: Public Works DepartmentQ ///�.�A(� L/` c SUBJECT: Informational Report on Circulation Element .y'� Major Street Standards On September 20 , 1977 , the Council conducted the second Urban Growth Management workshop. At that time, staff presented a report relative to a request made by the Bombay Corporation (Frank Parr and Edward Kashian, the developers of Tract No. 2739 , Woodward Park Estates , UGM 004) regarding the following items: 1. The need and necessity for the arterial config- uration of Shepherd Avenue and Friant Road as designated by the adopted Woodward Park Community Plan; and, 2 . Review of the potential implications and appropriateness of developing special cross section configurations for major streets at various locations within the City reflecting traffic needs less than those now provided for by existing standards; and, 3. A means of allowing the improvement construction required of Tract No. 2739, potentially affected by any action pursuant to the above, to be held in abeyance pending completion of consideration by the Council of recommendations on these items. At the conclusion of staffs report, the Council directed staff to review the questions raised by the Bombay Corpo- ation and return with appropriate recommendations. Staff has conducted a preliminary review of the three preceding areas of concern. With respect to items 1 and 2 , staff is presently reviewing the potential for the development of special rural major street standards that would be applicable within specific land use districts. However, further studies will be necessary prior to the formalization of specific proposals. With respect to item number 3, staff would recommend that certain street construction requirements applied to Tract No. 2739, relating to the East Shepherd Avenue frontage of the tract, be deferred for a period of one year so as not to foreclose any options that may be available to the developer should a modified major street standard be adopted. However, staff will recommend that. East Shepherd Avenue be improved at this time to provide for a minimum of 12 feet of travel lane west bound on Shepherd Aveune and a minimum of 12 feet of through traffic east bound travel lane together with 6 feet of pavement for a parking lane adjacent to the tract. Staff does not anticipate the deferral of any improvements now proposed for Friant Road. Staff will present a formal proposal to the Council on the deferral of street improvements on East Shepherd Avenue in (� 'a the near future.

Tentative Map of Tract No273 consisting of 349 lots, located on the east side of Friant Expressway between East Shepherd and East Teague Avenue, filed by Frank J. Parr, Jr. Mr. Qualls (Public Works Department) Noted that this is Urban Growth Management Application No. 004 and is unique in its requirements and conditions , which will be presented as they apply to the UGM process . Special consideration will be given to the extension of City services . The nearest sewer main is located at North Fresno Street and East A1'.uv1a_ Avenue. The nearest water mains are at North First Street and East Alluvial Avenue and in North Millbrook south of East Shepherd Avenue. Mr. Whitmer (City Traffic Engineer) Speaking on traffic circulation and street provements : Because this subdivision is within the Urban Growth Management area, twenty-four feet of paving in addition to the normal requirement will be required on abutting major streets. Shepherd Avenue will be divided, will have a bike lane, and will be developed with '=wenty feet of paving under the normal requirement plus twenty-four feet under Urban Growth Management requirements . It will have no pa. •.iny and no sidewalks. Friant Road will be divided and developed with the normal thirty-two feet of paving. No access will be allowed from lc .:: fronting on it and no walks will be constructed. Audubon Boulevard will have walks and will be developed with thirty-two feet of pavement under the normal requirement plus an additional twelve feet under Urban Growth Management. The normal street light pattern will be changed to reflect the rural character of the area, with lights placed at intersections inly and a transition to the unlighted portions. Provisions will be made for future traffic signals at Friant Road and Shepherd Avenue and at Fri .-.:-,t Road and Audubon Boulevard by installation of conduit for future electrical circuits. Railroad crossing protection devices will be installed on Shepherd Avenue and Audubon Boulevard at the Southern Pacific Railroad. The cost of these crossings will be shared by the four owners of the abutting property. A transition section will be installed on Friant Road where the four-lane portion becomes two-lane. Audubon Boulevard will be extended along the south side of Woodward Park to a connection with Blackstone Avenue. one half of the cost of this link.. will be borne by the City. It should be noted that as of this date approval for the connection of this link to Blackstone Avenue has not been given by the .State Highways Department. Approval of this subdivision should be contingent upon the approval of this connection to Blackstone Avenue (State Highway 41) . A temporary turnaround is to be constructed on Audubon Boulevard at the southeast corner of the subdivision. Dan Trafican (City Water Superintendent) Existing water mains in the area must be extended to the subdivision and a "loop" connection completed to insure an adequate water supply in the event of fire. A new well must be drilled in the subdivision. An existing City well in the vicinity has been producing only fifty percent of normal yield. Ralph Qualls (Public Works Department) Noted that the extension of the sewer main at First Street and Alluvial Avenue will be required and that, depending on the grade design of the subdivision, the extension of the sewer main in Millbrook Avenue to the northeast portion of the subdivision may be necessary. A provision to allow for reimbursement for that portion of a major street on the opposite side of the center line can be formulated. Regarding the extension of Audubon Drive to a connection at Blackstone Avenue , the agreement to install this road is not a part of this develop- ment. This would be developed as a street improvement project of the City regardless of this development. Deputy Fire Chief Rhode: The two nearest City fire stations are three and one half miles and six and one fourth miles from the proposed sub- division. The travel time does not meet the City ' s Class II. fire pro- tection rating. A Mid Valley Fire Protection District station is -situated three-fourths mile closer but no initial response agreement exists between the Mid Valley Fire Protection District and the City. The developer should provide a new fire station within or near the pro- posed subdivision. Mr. St. John: Based on the information presented by the Public Works, Planning and Inspection and Fire Departments, plus the requirements of the service delivery plan, staff recommends that the requested rezoning be approved subject to the recordation of Tentative Tract No. 2739, but that said Tract No. 2739 be denied until such time as. the cost/revenue analysis shows a surplus of revenue over costs over a five-year period. However, should the Commission conclude. that the project' s benefits outweigh the nearly one million dollars the development will cost the City and wishes to recommend approval of the Tentative Tract Map, that action should be subject to the following: 1. Preparation of the Final Map of Tract No. 2739 in accordance with the Tentative Tract Map No. 2739, entitled Exhibit "A, " dated October 15, 1976 , on file with the City of Fresno, Planning and Inspection Department; 2 . Compliance with the terms of the Service/Delivery Plan dated Jul-; 28 , 1976, applying to Tentative Tract No. 2739; 3. Compliance with all requirements of the memorandum from the Sub- division Review Committee dated November 2, 1976; 4 . Compliance with all requirements of the memorandum from the City of Fresno, Public Works Department, dated November 12 , 1976. Applicant: Frank Parr This is proposed to be a quality subdivision that will complement the Woodward Park Community Plan. The area is not a crowded school area. Asks that the requested zoning be approved; that the tentative tract map be approved; and that the service delivery plan be amended in two areas : A. Costs of peripheral development be collected by the City and returned at the time of future development; B. That the City cooperate with the Mid Valley Fire Protection District in the matter of fire protection until a greater need arises. We will abide by the decision of the City Council and the Fire Chief . Pass the decision on to them with the recommendation that the City cooperar with the Mid Valley Fire Protection District for fire service. Carl Motschiedler (attorney) The primary reason for the one million dollar deficit is t e requirement for the construction of a new fire station. Without this, the project would show a plus (+) of four hundred fifty thousand dollars ($450, 000) . An alternative is the implementation of an initial response agreement with the Mid Valley Fire Protection District They are willing to enter into such an agreement (read letter from Mid Valley Fire Protection District) . 1 � Nsxeo tnat the Commission recommend to the Council the adoption of the alternative sire protection plan. The applicant will accept the final decision of the Council. Requested that staff prepare a refund policy on the facilities installed , to be repaid as other development occurs . Wants refund on road construc- tion beyond the normal twenty-foot subdivision requirement. Bryce Connick (private fire protection analyst) Has confirmed that the Mid Valley Fire Protection District is willing to enter into a reciprocal first-alarm response agreement with the City. Speaking in favor: None Speaking in opposition: None The hearing was closed. Upon question from Commissioner Baker , Mr. Alex Sander of the Planning and Inspection Department indicated that the total cost of a new fire station would be borne by the development.

Hanley Chief Administrative Offi FROM: Public Works Department SUBJECT: Modification of Subdivision Agreement for Tract No. 2739 , "Woodward Park Estates" On September 13, 1977 the City Council approved the Final Sub- division Map of Tract NO. 2739 requiring execution of the standard subdivision agreement which, among other .conditions, provided in accordance with the approved U.G.M. requirements for the installation of off-site street improvements together with the acquisition and dedication to the City of several sewer and water easements needed for installation of service extensions . In addition to the security normally posted by subdividers to guarantee the installation of improvements, the Subdivider of Tract No. 2739, Bombay Corporation, also deposited with the City $44, 370 .00 to secure the required sewer and water easements which originally consisted of seven (7) separate parcels. The Subdivider, to date, has delivered to the City five (5) of these easements and has requested release of the security that was posted to guarantee acquisition of these five (5) easements. This amount has been estimated to be $27 ,750. 00. The remaining por- tion of the security will be held by the City to Guarantee acquisition of the two remaining parcels. Also, in accordance with Section 12-1016 (e) of the Fresno Municipal Code, the Subdivider posted enforcement costs in the amount of $125, 000. 00 . However, on January 24 , 1978 the City Council repealed subsection (e) of Section 12-1016 eliminating the enforcement cost requirement from subdivisions . This Council action has prompted the Subdivider to also request the release of the enforcement security that was required under the non- repealed section of the Code. The Subdivider ' s request for release of the security posted for the acquisition of sewer and water easements and enforcement costs, have been approved by the Housing and Community Development Department, and the action has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney' s Office. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council adopt the attached Resolution modifying the Subdivision Agreement for Tract No. 2739 and authorizing the Public Works Director to release a portion of the right-of-way security and the enforcement costs for Tract No. 2739 .

RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRESNO APPROVING MODIFICATIONS TO THE STREET IMPROVEMENT REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 12-1012 OF THE FRESNO MUNI- CIPAL CODE AND STANDARD STREET CROSS-SECTIONS (TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 2739, FRANK PARR) The Fresno City Council, at its regular meeting on January 6, 1977 , adopted the following resolution pursuant to Section 12-1018 of the Fresno Municipal Code relating to modifications to the provisions of Article 10 of Chapter 12 thereof. WHEREAS the Fresno City Council received a report and recommendation from the Fresno City Planning Commission relating to the modification of street improvement requirements and standard street cross-sections that relate specifically to Tentative Tract Map No. 2739; and WHEREAS the Council, after considering all oral and written information in connection therewith, concluded that the recommended modifications are consistent with the spirit and purpose of the Subdivision Map Act and of Article 10 of Chapter 12 of the Fresno Municipal Code. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Fresno City Council hereby approves the recommended modifications as described hereinbelow: 1. Friant Road Expressway between Audubon Drive and Shepherd Avenue shall be improved with thirty-two feet of permanent pavement on the northbound lanes with curb and gutter and the addition of a transition to the existing pavement to provide for a full thirty-two foot section of southbound lanes including curbs on the median island. 2. East Shepherd Avenue adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be improved to provide for forty-four feet of permanent street paving (twenty-eight feet eastbound and sixteen feet westbound) including curb and gutter on the south side and curbs on the median island. 3. Audubon Drive adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be constructed with thirty-two feet of permanent pavement on the westbound lanes including curb and gutter and sidewalk on the north side and twelve feet of permanent pavement on the eastbound lanes with curbs on the median island. 4. Modification of street light patterns to provide for lighting at the intersections and the installation of lights preceding the intersection as a transition from an unlighted area to the lighted intersection area in a manner and with spacing as approved by the City Traffic Engineer. CLERK'S CERTIFICATION STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF FRESNO ) ss. CITY OF FRESNO ) I, JACQUELINE L. RYLE, City Clerk of the City of Fresno, certify that the foregoing resolution was adopted by the Council of the City of Fresno, California, at a regular meeting held on the day of r 1977. JACQUELINE L. RYLE City Clerk By Deputy UGM Application No. O04 November 18, 1976 REVISED SERVICE DELIVERY PLAN The Service Delivery Review Committee reviewed UGM Application No. 004 on June 1, 1976, July 13, 1976 , and a Service Delivery Plan was pre-. pared which proposed methods for extending municipal services to the project. Certain revisions have been made to the Service Delivery Plan, were approved by the Service Delivery Review Committee, and were forwarded to the Planning Commission for their consideration at the regularly scheduled meeting of November 16 , 1976. FIRE SERVICE The project site is currently within the city limits of Fresno and receiving fire protection from the Fresno Fire Department, based on ✓ prescribed standards for response to vacant property as set by the Insurance Services Office (ISO) . Initial response to the proposed project area would be provided from Station No. 11, located at Fresno Street and Wrenwood Street. It is approximately three and one-half (3 1/2) miles from Station No. 11 ✓ to the nearest entrance to the project. Back-up support would be provided from Station No. 6 , located at E. Gettysburg and Rowell Streets--approximately six and one-quarter (6 1/4) miles to the southeast. The Fire Department has concern for the impact of the proposed pro- ✓ ject on the City' s Class II fire protection grading based on the following: 1. The project area is three and one-half (3 1/2) miles from Fire Station No. 11. However, under the Urban Growth Management Service Delivery Policies, fire protection for single-family residential development is limited to a three (3) mile extended zone from the nearest City fire station. 2 . In single-family residential subdivisions the Fire Department requires that fire hydrants be installed in accordance with Fresno City specifications on no less than a minimum six-inch (6" ) water main capable of flowing 1500 gallons per minute as calculated by using methods in FIRE FLOW TESTS, published by the Insurance Services Office. This system may be incorporated with the domestic water system.. The Fire Department cannot furnish fire protection to the proposed project that will meet the prescribed standards set by the Insurance Services Office (ISO) or within extended limits for residential pro- tection presecribed by Urban Growth Management Service Delivery Policies. Urban Growth Management Policy 1. 6 states the following with regard to development proposals that are beyond a permanent or extended fire service area: "If a development is found to be outside the extended area, the full cost of a new station will be borne by the developer and the associated operations and maintenance will be allo- cated according to the Cost/Revenue Analysis . In this case the City Fire Chief shall make a determination of the minimum level of service required to adequately protect the planned development. He shall also approve final plans and the loca- tion of a new station. " • -2- Requirements Based upon the policy cited above, a new fire station would have to be constructed in accordance with the provisions of the policy as a condition of project approval. The construction and manning of a fire station in the area of the proposed project would meet response times set by Insurance Services Office (ISO) . RELATION TO MAJOR STREET SYSTEM The Urban Growth Management Street-Related Construction Policies pro- vide that the size and quality of streets connecting a proposed development to the existing developed street system be capable of meeting traffic demand and be capable of safely providing for the passage of municipal service and emergency vehicles. Requirements Improvements shall be required for the proposed project in accordance with the following as shown on the attached typical section : 1. Friant Road Expressway between Audubon Drive and Shepherd Avenue shall be improved with 32 feet of permanent pavement on the northbound lanes with curb and gutter and the addition of a transition to the existing pavement to provide for a full 32- foot section of southbound lanes including curbs on the Median Island. 2. East Shepherd Avenue adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be impro- ved to provide for 44 feet of permanent street paving (28 feet eastbound and 16 feet westbound) including curb and gutter on the south side and curbs on the Median Island. 3. Audubon Drive adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be constructed with 32 feet of permanent pavement on the westbound lanes in- cluding curb and gutter and sidewalk on the north side and 12 feet of permanent pavement on the eastbound lanes with curbs on the Median Island. 4. Left turn pockets will be required where necessary at intersections. 5. Existing bikeways are to be protected at all improved locations; the bikeway on Friant Road north of Audubon Drive must be relo- cated if necessary, concurrent with the widening of Friant Road. 6 . Applicable major street intersections shall be provided with underground conduit systems for facilitating future traffic signal installations. 7 . Structurally adequate paved transitions shall be provided for Friant Expressway traffic south of Audubon for northbound traffic and north of Shepherd Avenue for northbound traffic. The length of the transitions shall be as approved by the City Traffic Engineer . Rights-of-way to facilitate this safety feature appear to be available. 8. Structurally adequate paved transitions shall be provided for. Audubon traffic west of Friant Expressway for eastbound traffic adjacent to the easterly portion of the roadway (Audubon Drive) between Friant Road and State Highway 41. This transition shall be 60 feet in length and shall meet the proposed geometric section of Audubon Drive east of Friant Expressway. (By a previous agreement, the City will install 2 lanes (ultimate westbound) of Audubon Drive between Route 41 and Friant Road) . • -3- 9. Shepherd Railroad Crossing - Omit 900 feet of median and place adequate roadway paving in its place to provide for transition area for eastbound traffic to shift north to the existing rail- road crossing. No widening of the existing railroad crossing is recommended at this time. However, one quarter of the City 's share of the cost for upgrading the crossing protection at this railroad crossing (estimated to be $4,375) shall be paid to the City by the developer as an appropriate share of the cost of this future task. Barricading along the west edge of the railroad right-of-way is needed adjacent to the widened street west of the tracks. 10. Future Audubon Railroad Crossing - The developer will be required to pay 25 percent of the cost (estimated to be $17, 500) for railroad protection and related facilities at the Southern Pacific Railroad - Audubon Drive intersection. 11. Any provision of street crossings at the Southern Pacific Rail- road right-of-way will require the approval of the State of Cal- ifornia Public Utilities Commission. 12. The provision of an intersection at Highway 41 will require the approval of the State of California Department of Transportation. The approval of Tentative Map No. 2739 and UGM Application No. 004 will be conditional until such time as the California Highway Commission approves the connection of Audubon Drive at Highway 41. 13. All major street intersections shall provide "far side" 80 foot long bus stops with solid sidewalks adjacent. Streets widening for right turn lanes in advance of major street intersections shall be provided. 14. As development occurs under the UGM process on the property fronting on the north side of East Shepherd Avenue and on the south side Audubon Drive between the extended north and south boundaries of Tract No. 2739, the City will collect a frontage charge in an amount to be determined by the Public Works Director representing the cost of the installation of the northerly 16 feet of permanent pavement on a per front foot basis installed in East Shepherd Avenue and the southerly 12 feet of permanent pavement installed in Audubon Drive by the developer of Tract No. 2739. The City will reimburse the developer in the amount of 90% of the per foot frontage charge collected from the developer of the property on the east frontage. The same conditions would apply should addi- tional development occur along Friant Road in Woodward Park. All of the above items are subject to detailed engineering design review and approval by the Public Works Director prior to installation or construction. WATER SERVICE Requirements The installation of a water well to serve this development will be required. In addition, an extension of the transmission grid will be required to be installed in the Major Street System adjacent to this tract and Connecting the well site within this tract to the existing pump station on N. 'Millbrook Avenue near Teague Avenue. Also a trans- mission Grid Main must be installed to connect with the existing mains located at N. First Street and Alluvial. • -4- • SEWER SERVICE The subject property is presently not served by the City sewer system. Requirements Connection to the City sewer system will require the extension of the existing 21-inch sewer main located at the intersection of North First Street and East Alluvial Avenue and the extension of the exis Ing - inch sewer main located at the intersection of North Millbrook Avenue and East Teague Avenue. Should additional site grading on the northeast portion of the tract provide for the use of a gravity sewer collection system graded to the south, the entire tract could be sewered with the extension of the main in North First Street alone. POLICE SERVICE Of significance to the Police Department is the fact that this project will be located approximately 1 1/2 miles north of the current most northerly City residential area receiving services from the Police Department. This will , undoubtedly, adversely impact the response time to calls for service that will come from this area. Also of importance is the fact that this proposal calls for only three entry ways into the project area rather than the four that were initially proposed. It should be noted thtat the entire east side of the pro- ject is bordered by a railroad track with no entries into the project area other than Shepherd Avenue. Unless the scenic drive is continued east to First Street or or west from Friant Road, all southbound traffic will be required to leave the project via Friant Road to Blackstone Avenue, or east on Shepherd Avenue to Millbrook Avenue, Cedar Avenue , or one of the other major collectors or arterials which currently suffer significant congestion problems during peak traffic hours. In conclusion, the size and projected propulation of the project will have no significant effect on Department operations; however, the location and project configuration will adversely impact response time to this project area, particularly regarding emergency calls. Additionally, traffic to and from the project area via Friant Road to Blackstone and Shepherd Avenue to Millbrook, etc. , will adversely impact the already congested traffic situation on those arterials and collectors . PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES The nearest City Park facility, being immediately adjacent to the proposed site , is Woodward Park. The nearest neighborhood recreational facility (Rotary Sports Center) is located at Gettysburg and Bond Avenues. Although the Center is used as a ponding base, various sporting activities occur during the dry months of the year. A future neighborhood park is proposed in conjunction with the existing Fort Washington-Lincoln Elementary School. The vacant and undeveloped site is located approximately one-half mile by road from the proposed project site. Interior street trees will be typically planted one tree to each lot. These trees will be purchased and installed by the developer and main- tained by the respective homeowners. -5- The Parks and Recreation Department has no objections to the approval of the proposed project. With the eventual construction of 349 single-family homes on the site, there will be a permanent decrease in available open space of approximately 144 acres. However, the subject land is not a part of the designated open space within the incorporated area of Fresno.

Shepherd Avenue and the Friant Expressway, the major streets adjacent to the tract on the north and west, respectively, Pursuant to Section 12-1018 of the Fresno Municipal Code, the staff would recommend that the Planning Commission make the following modifications to the 'street improvement requirements for this subdivision: SHEPHERD AVENUE Owing to the rural density nature of the residential development proposed in accordance with the Woodward Park Community Plan, it is recommended that the re- quirement for sidewalk installation be eliminated a- long the south side of E. Shepherd Avenue from the intersection at Friant Expressway to the eastern most street intersection on Shepherd Avenue. In addition, it is recommended that the street light pattern be modi- fied to provide for lighting at the intersections and the installation of lights preceding the intersection as a transition from an unlighted area to the lighted intersection area in a manner and with spacing as approved by the City Traffic Engineer. FRIANT EXPRESSWAY Owing to the existence of the Woodward Park land on the west side of the street as well as the restricted access from Tract #2739 on the east side of the street, it is recommended that the requirement for sidewalk installation be eliminated along Friant Expressway adjacent to Tract #2739. In addition, it is recommended that the street light pattern be modified to provide for lighting at the intersections and the installation of lights preceding the intersection as a transition from an unlighted area to the lighted intersection area in a manner and with spacing as approved by the City Traffic Engineer.

Kerber, Director Planning and Inspection Department SUBJECT: CONSISTENCY OF FINAL MAP OF TRACT NO. 2739 WITH APPLICABLE PLANS The subject final map of Tract No. 2739 has been found by the Planning and Inspection Director to be consistent with the follow- ing adopted elements of the General Plan and compatible with the objectives, policies, general land use and programs specified in such plan. 1974 FCMA GENERAL PLAN 1. LAND USE ELEMENT - Indicates agricultural uses. General Plan policy states "land which is currently beyond the areas of close proximity to the City would be placed in an urban growth or holding zone. The subject property and additional land on the west and south was annexed to the City. The adjacent lands are in the process of being developed with a residential sub- division. Urban services are being extended to the area. 2 . CIRCULATION ELEMENT - The proposed subdivision is bounded by these major streets, East Shepherd Avenue on the north, North Friant Road on the west and east Audubon Drive on the south. Provision will be made to construct the said streets to their designated classification. The remaining streets within the project will be constructed to City standards. 3 . HOUSING ELEMENT - A major intent of the Housing Element is to provide adequate housing for all economic segments of the community. The proposed subdivision will provide housing for the middle income families. 4 . ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT - The proposed subdivision will not have a significant impact upon the natural environment. The proposed subdivision will not effect any proposed park or recreational space. 5 . SEISMIC SAFETY ELEMENT There are no known active faults within the project area. The Seismic Safety Element indicates that the FCMA is a low seismic hazard area. 6. NOISE ELEMENT - The proposed subdivision will not produce more noise than a normal residential subdivision and is not located adjacent to a significant generator of noise. 7. SAFETY ELEMENT - The proposed subdivision is well within all urban services. The proposed subdivisions will be designed to provide surface drainage according to FMFC Master Plan. The proposed subdivision is not located in a flood-prone area. 8 . WOODWARD PARK COMMUNITY PLAN - Indicates medium low density residential and a strip of rural density residential along East Shepherd Avenue. The proposed subdivision consists of 353 residential lots which equates to 2 . 4 units per acre. Based on the foregoing, the undersigned recommends that Final map of Tract No. 2739 be found consistent with the General Plan. Geor a A.

McGREGOR March 22 , 1977 Mr. Ralph Qualls Assistant Director of Public Works City Hall / 2326 Fresno Street f Fresno, CA 93721 Re: Frank J. Parr, Jr. , ITract 119 Dear Ralph: Ed Kashian informed me that we are meeting in your office Thursday morning at 10 : 30 a .m. , to discuss the UGIT'. application on the subdivision immediately south of the above-referenced subdivision and asked me to summarize the status of our discussions concerning the pay back arrangements for public improvements being made by the subdivider of the above-referenced subdivision. Hopefully we car. conclude our pay-back discussions before or after our discussions on the pending UGM application. The following summarizes the status of the matters we have discussed: 1. Sewer. We proposed and you are considerin(: the method of administering an arrangement under whichthe area to be served by each sewer installation would he established as a sewer benefit district, and the parcels of property within that district would be charged a develop- ment fee at the time of their development to reimburse the cost of installation of the sewer . The sewer cost to be amortized among the properties in the benefit district would include the 10 percent City administrative fee for handling the reimbursement program. This would allow the initial developer who installed the sewer line to recover 100 percent of his costs less , of course, the sewer development fees charged against his property. Y • • THOMAS,SNELL,JAMISON,RUSSELL,WILLIAMSON 6 ASPERGER Mr. Ralph Qualls March 22 , 1977 Page 2 2 . Traffic Signals . Traffic signals would be installed by the City but each parcel under development would be charged a development fee for the traffic signals . My recollection is that the traffic signal assessment would be approximately $2 . 75 an acre, calculated on the theory that in each square mile there would be a total of nine signals (one at each half mile intersection of the collector or arterial streets which are at half mile intervals on a grid alignment) and that each square mile of area should bear the cost of four of the signals , i .e. , 100 percent of the signal cost at the center of the square mile , 25 percent of the signal at each of the four corners of the square mile and 50 percent of the signals at the mid point of the four perimeter sides of the square mile. 3 . Fire Station. The fire stations have a defined service area, and the properties benefited from the fire station would be allocated the cost of the fire station on essentially the same formula that has been used in developing the assessments under the consortium agreement recently signed for the station to be located at West and Herndon. While the assessment formula will be essentially the same , the actual assessment per acre in the several fire service districts may vary because the mix of high-and low-density residential and various commercial uses in the service areas will not be identical. I am prepared to draft the reimbursement agreement with respect to the fire station, but I am awaiting the assessment numbers that you had agreed you would develop. 4 . Major Thoroughfares . I proposed, and you are considering, that the cost of major thoroughfares , i .e . , collectors and arterials , would be charged to the properties benefited on essentially the same grid basis as is proposed for traffic signals . Each square mile of territory would bear 100 percent of the cost of the arterial or collector streets that cross at the center of the square mile and one-half of the cost of the perimeter collector and arterial streets . Whether the assessment per acre would be the same for commercial properties as for residential properties was not discussed, but I think that this question should be resolved in the same manner for the traffic signals as for the streets. THOMAS,SNELL,JAMISON,RUSSELL,WILLIAMSON 6 ASPERGER Mr. , Ralph Qualls March 22 , 1977 Page 3 5. Expressway. Friant Expressway has posed a particularly difficult problem because it is quite clear that the labels attached to it as a planning matter suggest that its direct benefits extend to a community substantially beyond the mile or half mile on either side of the expressway. I proposed, and you may be considering, that Friant Expressway may be treated as any other collector or arterial if its designation south of Shepherd Avenue is changed from expressway to arterial . That would require a modification in the present policy that prohibits access to Friant Expressway except at half mile intervals, but the traffic projections for Friant f Expressway may warrant such a change anyway. If Friant Expressway remains as an arterial , it is my belief that the cost of. developing Friant Expressway could not be assessed as proposed in Paragraph 4 , above, and that a portion of the cost, probably the major portion, would have to be assessed against properties outside the UGii area or to the general revenues of the City . 6 . Water. We proposed, and you are considering, a development services concept for water following the outline for sewer discussed above. 7 . Grade Crossings . We propose that grade crossings be assessed on the same basis as traffic signals are. You have not committed yourself on this matter. Very truly yours , y � J.

PARR) (UGM 004) ) i Prior to the meeting, members of the Council received detailed and comprehensive reports and material on the subject, outlining the background, location, and specifics of the subject and the recommendation for approval with certain conditions. Members of the staff who gave a thorough and comprehensive review of the specifics were Hugh St. John, Deputy Director of Zoning; Traffic Engineer James Whitmer; Assistant Public Works Director Ralph Qualls; Assistant Public Works Director Dan Trafican; Deputy Fire Chief Dennis Rohde; and Fire Chief Lee Hill. The various aspects of the report were illustrated with maps and drawings on display, and during their presentarions, the staff people responded to questions raised by members of the Council relative to their respective areas of departmental expertise. (3-A) Frank Parr, the applicant, stated he would like to request approval with some { modification to the conditions to be required and introduced his attorney, Carl Motscheidler, 89-27 1/13/77 ..--- - - ����1s oc+ax .e.w.... .�is. .saars nasi rv.a i.rv�eer+r+..�a� -��+w• f� i who commented in some detail on their requested modification to the payback provisions, elaborating in detail on their position. He asked that there be modification to require that other developers in the general area share in the road costs which will also benefit those properties, stating there is a question of policy relative to charges to an area, not to just one developer. There was general discussion of that aspect, including the aspect of Woodward Park which is across Friant Road from the subject property. Chief Administrative Officer Hanley commented on previous considerations relative to the imposition of acreage fees and the determination that the UGM process would be more equitable and relative, and noted that the request by Mr. Motscheidler leads back to the j acreage fee concept. I (4-0) Mr. Motscheidler also requested that the developer be allowed to contract directly for construction work, rather than the City doing so and then charging the developer on the capital improvements. Mr. .Hanley cited that possibility as worthy of exploration, stating if there is a way to do so, he would favor recommendation to that t effect, stating that he does see some possible potential for savings in that approach. Councilwoman Mack stated she would like to see a similar study approach with regard 1 to the payback question in order that any determination would apply universally and not be directed to one application, stating that such an issue should be considered carefully and not acted upon impulsively at this time. i Mr. Motscheidler stated they would be agreeable to a review if action taken as a result could be made retroactive to apply to his client's subject application. Mr. Hanley stated such review can be made with report and recommendation in two or three weeks, after which the following actions were taken: On motion of Councilman Bell, seconded by Councilman Doig, duly carried. IT IS RESOLVED that Tentative Tract Map 2739 relating to property located on the east side of the Friant Expressway between E. Nees Avenue and E.

GAK/HES/km i • January 12 , 1977 MEMORANDUM TO: Ralph W. Hanley, Chief Administrative Officer James Hendricks, Assistant Chief Administrative Officer FROM: George A. Kerber, Director of Planning and Inspection SUBJECT: Tentative Tract Map No. 2739 , Relating to Property Located on the East Side of the Friant Expressway between East Nees Avenue and East Shepherd Avenue The Fresno City Planning Commission, at its regular meeting on November 16 , 1976 , resolved to recommend to the Fresno City Council the approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 2739 , subject to the following conditions: 1. Preparation of the Final Map of Tract No. 2739 precisely in accordance with the Tentative Map thereof entitled Exhibit "A" dated October 15 , 1976, on file in the City of Fresno, Planning and Inspection Department. 2 . Compliance with the terms of the Service Delivery Plan dated November 12, 1976, which applies to Tentative Tract No. 2739; except that with regard to fire service it is recommended that the City enter into a reciprocal agree- ment with the Mid Valley Fire Protection District wherein the Mid Valley Fire Protection District will provide protective fire service for Tract No. 2739 . Further, it is recommended that the Public Works Depart- ment develop a payback or rebate policy for improvements required that are not located contiguous to, or within, the geographic limits of the project. 3. Compliance with all requirements of the memorandum from the Subdivision Review Committee dated November 2, 1976. 4. Compliance with all requirements of the memorandum from the City of Fresno, Public Works Department, dated November 12 , 1976. The Planning Commission further resolved to recommend the approval of the following modifications to standard street cross-sections and street lighting patterns: 1. Friant Road Expressway between Audubon Drive and Shepherd Avenue shall be improved with thirty-two feet of permanent pavement on the northbound lanes, with curb and gutter and the addition of a transition to the existing pavement to provide for a full thirty-two- foot section of south- bound lanes, including curbs on the median island. 2. East Shepherd Avenue adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be improved to provide for forty-four feet of permanent street paving (twenty-eight feet eastbound and sixteen feet westbound) , including curb and gutter on the south side and curbs on the median island. 3. Audubon Drive adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be con- structed with thirty-two feet of permanent pavement on the westbound lanes, including curb and gutter and side- walk on the north side and twelve feet of permanent pavement on the eastbound lanes, with curbs on the - median island. Page Two 4. Modification of street light patterns to provide for lighting at the intersections and the installation of lights preceding the intersection as a transition from an unlighted area to the lighted intersection area, in a manner and with spacing as approved by the City Traffic Engineer. The matter was scheduled for consideration by the Council on December 9, 1976. It was postponed, pursuant to the applicant's request, until January 6, 1977, and again until January 13 , 1977. The applicant and City staff, during the period December 9 , 1976, to January 13, 1977, worked to resolve problems relating to the cost/ revenue deficit, which resulted primarily from the capital and operating costs associated with the construction of a fire station. Based on the latest material developed by the Planning Division staff, it has been concluded that if the applicant constructs the necessary fire station the project will result in a net revenue surplus of $376,710 .00 over the five-year analysis period..

GAK/HES/km MEMORANDUM `/ January 12 , 1977 T0: RALPH W. HANLEY Chief Administrative Offic r JAMES HENDRICKS Assistant Chie Wrive Officer THROUGH: GEORGE KERBER Director, Plan ing and Inspection Department FROM: AL SOLI Deputy ector, Planning Division SUBJECT: Cost/Revenue Analysis and UGM Service Delivery Capital Costs Related to Tentative Tract No. 2739 (UGM 004) This memorandum summarizes the results of the Cost/Revenue Analysis as well as the UGM Service Delivery Capital Costs as they relate to Tentative Tract No. 2739 (UGM 004) . Cost Revenue Analysis Attachments "A" through "E" summarize the fiscal impact to the City of Fresno of proposed Tentative Tract No. 2739 (UGM 004) , including a new City fire station that would be required to provide fire pro- tection consistent with adopted Urban Growth Management Policies . A Cost/Revenue Analysis has been conducted with regard to the pri- mary fire service area of the nearest existing City fire station (Fire Station No. 11) , to determine if there is. sufficient revenue being generated before consideration is given to a new fire station. The analysis indicates that the area is currently generating an ex- cess of revenues over costs of $4 , 317 , 321 for the 5-year period of analysis (Attachment "A") . Analysis of the service area of proposed Fire Station No. 13 indi- cates that the amount of development existing at the present time is generating an excess of revenues over costs of $897 , 117 for the 5-year period of analysis (Attachment "B") . The estimated O+M costs of a new City fire station are $1 , 028 ,536 for the 5-year period of analysis (Attachment "C" ) . Capital costs for a new fire station are assumed to be borne by the developer. Based upon the net revenues currently being generated by develop- ment in the service area of proposed Fire Station No. 13 ($897 , 117) , and considering the share of fire station costs already covered by existing development ($141,062) , construction of a new City fire station would result in a surplus of $9 , 643 over the 5-year period of analysis (Attachment "D") . Cost/Revenue Analysis of proposed Tentative Tract No. 2739 (UGM 004) indicates that the project will generate a surplus of revenues over costs of $376 ,710 for the 5-year period of analysis (Attachment "E") . It is noted that earlier Cost/Revenue Analysis of this project indi- cated a net defict of $988 ,470 . This previous figure has been re- vised for the following reasons : -2- 1. Initial analysis assumed construction of a new City fire station directly south of Woodward Park. Sub- sequent determination by the Fire Department indi- cates that a site located in the vicinity of East Nees and North Millbrook Avenues would represent the optimum location for the overall fire protection of the City. The latter fire service area embraces a considerable amount of residential development in the vicinity of East Herndon Avenue which is gener- ating net revenues that substantially offset the O+M costs of a new City fire station. 2. Initial analysis assumed that new fire station O+M costs would be generated for each of the five years of the analysis period. The Fire Department has since determined that such costs would, in fact, not accrue until approximately 18 months into the analysis period. 3. A portion of the primary fire service area of pro- posed Fire Station No. 12 which overlaps the extend- ed service area of proposed Fire Station No. 2 was incorrectly excluded in the initial analysis. UGM Service Delivery Capital Cost This project has been reviewed by the Service Delivery Review Com- mitte and a Service Delivery Plan has been prepared. This plan de- fines the requirements for the installation of improvements for the delivery of urban services to this proposed development. The Public Works engineering staff has made a preliminary cost es- timate of all the service delivery systems (i .e. , the extension of water mains, sewer mains and major street improvements) , that are required beyond those normally required of any subdivision within the urban area. The requirements for the installation of public im- provements within the boundaries of a proposed subdivision are es- sentially the same whether the tract is located in the Urban Area or the Urban Growth Management Area. The capital costs for these special UGM requirements which must be borne by the developer are as follows : Extension of Water Transmission Grid Main $112 ,600 Installation of Water Well and Pump System 70 ,000 Extension of Sewer Mains 208 ,300 Major Street Improvements 154 ,800 Contribution to Railroad Crossing Installation 22 ,000 Total Estimated Costs $567 ,700 tmJ : Mn 14Y6 nfi..l..�iJa6LLL' YYIY`.i RL X 71 1` 1.wf. _ r -3- The Fire Department has made a preliminary estimate of the cost of constructing a new temporary City fire station. The estimated capital cost, which must be borne by the developer, is as follows : Land Acquisition $ 32 ,500 Architectural Services 14 , 000 Construction 150 ,000 Fire Alarm Communications 25 ,000 Apparatus 90, 000 $301, 500 . It should be clear that the capital costs cited above are best estimates of the staff and do not represent fixed payment amounts. The developer is obligated to bear the full cost of all capital improvements required whether or not they exceed these estimates.

Parr Age dem 7r Council Meeting 12/9/76 10 : 00 a.m. REPORT ON PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION /- - 77 TO: THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRESNO _T SUBJECT: "tentative Tract Map No. 2739 , Which Relates to Property Located on the East Side of North Friant Road between Fast Shepherd Avenue and East Nees Avenue (UGM 004) . he F--!sno City Planning Commission, at its regular meeting on November 16, '.976, purs-ant to Fresno Municipal Code Section 12-1024 (d) , resolved _o recommend to the Fresno City Council the conditional approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 2739 , which relates to property located on the ast side of North Friant Road between East Shepherd Avenue and East Nees Avenue :UGM 004) . lnfor,.ation: the subject property is irregular in shape and comprises 144 acres. The E.,:opert•., is proposed to be rezoned under Application No. 5285 from .E-20/UGM, the Exclusive Twenty-Acre Agricultural District lying within the ( :.y of Fresno Urban Growth Management Area, to R-A/UGM, the Resi- ential Agricultural District, and R-1-C/UGM, the Single Family Residential dist: . Ct. the ; ! opertJ lies within the area of influence of the Fresno-Clovis 1,etr0i.olita.1 Area General Plan and the Woodward Park Community Plan, ,n element of the General Plan. The analysis made a part of Rezoning Appl-.;atioi. No. 5285 states that the rezoning of the property and its roposed sumdivision into 349 lots is generally consistent with estab- lishes plana and policies of the City of Fresno. Histo !: the project has been assessed relative to its effect on the environment. The Planning Commission, on October 5, 1976 , concluded that the project .could not result in significant detrimental effects on the environment, and (..:. October 6 , 1976, a Negative Declaration relative thereto was .:i1e4 with the City Clerk. he project has been assessed by the Service Delivery Review Committee and a i)lan ?'as been developed by which urban services can be provided. 'he said plan includes information relative to the followinq requirements: 1. ,-re - V. new f_.re station would have to be constructed in accordance with the provisions of the Urban Growth Management policy as c. condition of project approval . The construction and manning cf a f `_::.: station in the area of the proposed project would r:eet res:,onse times set by Insurance Services Office (ISO) . c. D'�jor Streets - improvements shall be required for the propsoed project in accordance k . th the following as shown on the attached typical section: Friant Road Expressway between Audubon Drive and Shepherd Avenue shall be improved with 32 feet of permanent pavement on the northbound lanes with curb and gutter and the addition of a transition to the existing pavement to provide for a fu" 32-foot section of southbound lanes including curbs on to Median Island. b. L..,st Shepherd Avenue adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be impro- v --d to provide for 44 feet of permanent street paving (28 feet eastbound and 16 feet westbounri) including curb and gutter on the south side and curbs on the Median Island. Audubon Drive adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be constructed with 32 feet of permanent pavement on the westbound lanes in- cluding curb and gutter and sidewalk on the north side and 12 feet of permanent pavement on the eastbound lanes with curbs on the Median Island. d. Left turn pockets will be required where necessary at intersections . e. Existing bikeways are to be protected at all improved locations; the bikeway on Friant Road north of Audubon Drive must be relo- cated if necessary, concurrent with the widening of Friant Road. f . Applicable major street intersections shall be provided with underground conduit systems for facilitating future traffic signal installations . 9 , Structurally adequate paved transitions shall be provided for Friant Expressway traffig south of Audubon for northbound traffic and north of Shepherd Avenue for -northbound traffic. The length of the transitions shall be as approved by the City Traffic Engineer . Rights-of-way to facilitate this safety feature appear to be a•. -.ilable. - o ' ructurally adequate paved transitions shall be provided for. Audubon traffic west of Friant Expressway for eastbound traffic adjacent to the easterly portion of the roadway (Audubon Drive) b...:ween Friant Road and State Highway 41. This transition shall be 60 feet in length and shall meet the proposed geometric section of Audubon Drive east of Friant Expressway. (By a previous agreement , the City will install 2 lanes (ultimate westbound) of Audubon Drive between Route 41 and Friant Road) . Shepherd Railroad Crossing - Omit 900 feet of median and place adequate roadway paving in its place to provide for transition area for eastbound traffic to shift north to the existing rail- road crossing. No widening of the existing railroad crossing is recommended at this time. However, one quarter of the City ' s share of the cost for upgrading the crossing protection at this ra.lroad crossing (estimated to be $4 , 375) shall be paid to the City by the developer as an appropriate share of the cost of this future task. Barricading along the west edge of the railroad right-of-way is needed adjacent to the widened street west of the tracks. j . Future Audubon Railroad Crossing - The developer will be required to pay 25 percent of the cost (estimated to be $17 , 500) for railroad protection and related facilities at the Southern Pacific Railroad - Audubon Drive intersection. k. Any provision of street crossings at the Southern Pacific Rail- road right-of-way will require the approval of the State of Cal- ifornia Public Utilities Commission. 1. The provision of an intersection at Highway 41 will require the approval of the State 'of California Department of Transportation. The approval of Tentative Map No. 2739 and UGM Application No. 004 will be conditional until such time as the California Highway Commission approves the connection of Audubon Drive at Highway 41. in. All major street intersections shall provide "far side" 80 foot long bus stops with solid sidewalks adjacent. Streets widening for right turn lanes in advance of major street intersections shall be provided. -2- n. As development occurs under the UGM process on the property fronting on the north side of East Shepherd Avenue and on the south side of Audubon Drive between the extended north and south boundaries of Tract No. 2739 , the City will collect : a frontage charge in an amount to be determined by the Public Works Director representing the cost of the installation of the northerly 16 feet of permanent pavement on a per front foot basis installed in East Shepherd Avenue and the southerly 12 feet of permanent pavement installed in Audubon Drive by the developer of Tract No. 2739 . The City will reimburse the developer in the amount of 90 percent of the per foot frontage charge collected from the developer of the property on the east frontage. The same conditions would apply should additional development occur along Friant Road in Woodward Park. All of the above items are subject to detailed engineering design review and approval by the Public Works Director prior to installation or construction. 3. Water Service - The installation of a water well to serve this development will be required. In addition, an extension of the transmission grid will be required to be installed in the major street system adjacent to this tract and connecting the well site within this tract to the existing pump station on North Millbrook Avenue near Teague Avenue. Also, a transmission grid main must be installed to connect with the existing mains located at North First Street and Alluvial. 4. Sewer Service - The subject property is not presently served by the City sewer system. Connection to the City sewer system will require the extension of the existing 21-inch sewer main located at the intersection of North First Street and East Alluvial Avenue and the extension of the existing 24-inch sewer main located at the intersection of North Millbrook Avenue and East Teague Avenue. Should additional site grading on the northeast portion of the tract provide for the use of a gravity sewer collection system graded to the south, the entire tract could be sewered with the extension of the main in North First Street alone. The project was subjected to cost/revenue analysis on September 27, 1976 . The analysis indicated that the project would result in a deficit of revenue over capital and operating costs of $988 ,470. 00 over a five-year period. On August 4 , 1976 , the applicant was advised that the service delivery plan and cost/revenue analysis had been completed and that he could formally file the tentative tract for processing. He was further advised that, based on the results of the cost/revenue analysis , the Planning and Inspection Department would not support the project until it shows a surplus of revenue over costs. The Subdivision Review Committee met on October 12 , 1976, to review the Tentative Tract Map relative to its relationship to development policies and applicable standards. The Planning Commission, at its regular meeting on November 16, 1976, considered the report and recommendation of the Planning and Inspection Department, the service delivery plan and cost/revenue analysis, and the arguments of the applicant relating to the project. -3- The applicant argued that: 1. Adequate fire protection for the project can be provided by the Mid-Valley Fire District if the City of Fresno will enter into a reciprocal agreement with the Fire District by which Mid- Valley Fire District will provide protective fire service for Tract No. 2739; and 2. The Urban Growth Management ordinance is unfair to developers of property in that it provides for the payment of fees and the construction of improvements in anticipation of development for which a pay-back procedure has not been developed.

Kashian Agend#tem ti Council Meeting 12/9/76 10 : 00 a.m. REPORT ON PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION TO: THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRESNO SUBJECT: Tentative Tract Map No. 2739 , Which Relates to Property Located on the East Side of North Friant Road between East Shepherd Avenue and East Nees Avenue (004) The Fresno City Planning. Commission, at its regular meeting on November 16, L976 , pursuant to Fresno Municipal Code Section 12-1024 (d) , resolved to recommend to the Fresno City Council the conditional approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 2739, which relates to property located on the east side of North Friant Road between East Shepherd Avenue and East Vees Avenue (UGM 006) . Information: The subject property is irregular in shape and comprises 144 acres. .he property is proposed to be rezoned under Application No. 5285 from AE-20/UGM, the Exclusive Twenty-Acre Agricultural District lying within ::he City of Fresno Urban Growth Management Area, to R-A/UGM, the Resi- dent-al Agricultural District, and R-1-C/UGM, the Single Family Residential District. The property lies within the area of influence of the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area General Plan and the Woodward Park Community Plan, an element of the General Plan. The analysis made a part of Rezoning ,.pplication No. 5285 states that the rezoning of the property and its proposed subdivision into 349 lots is generally consistent with estab- lished plans and policies of the City of Fresno. History: a The project has been assessed relative to its effect on the environment. The Planning Commission, on October 5 , 1976 , concluded that the project would not result in significant detrimental effects on the environment, .nd on October 6, 1976, a Negative Declaration relative thereto was filed with the City Clerk. The project has been assessed by the Service Delivery Review Committee ind a plan has been developed by which urban services can be provided. The said plan includes information relative to the following requirements: 1. Fire - A new fire station would have to be constructed in accordance with the provisions of the Urban Growth Management policy as a condition of project approval. The construction and manning of a fire station in the area of the proposed project would meet response times set by Insurance Services Office (ISO) . 2. Major Streets - Improvements shall be required for the propsoed project in accordance with the following as shown on the attached typical section: a. Friant Road Expressway between Audubon Drive and Shepherd Avenue shall be improved with 32 feet of permanent pavement on the northbound lanes with curb and gutter and the addition of a transition to the existing pavement to provide for a full 32-foot section of southbound lanes including curbs on the Median Island. IL 0 b, East Shepherd Avenue adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be impro- ved to provide for 44 feet of permanent street paving ( 28 feet eastbound and 16 feet westbound) including curb and gutter on the south side and curbs on the Median Island. c. Audubon Drive adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be constructed with 32 feet of permanent pavement on the westbound lanes in= eluding curb and gutter and sidewalk on the north side and 12 feet of permanent pavement on the eastbound lanes with curbs on the Median Island. d. Left turn pockets will be required where necessary at intersections . e. Existing bikeways are to be protected at all improved locations; the bikeway on Friant Road north of Audubon Drive must be relo- cated if necessary , concurrent with the widening of Friant Road. f. Applicable major street intersections shall be provided with underground conduit systems for facilitating future traffic signal installations. g. Structurally adequate paved transitions shall be provided for Friant Expressway traffiV south of Audubon for northbound traffic and north of Shepherd Avenue for northbound traffic. The length of the transitions shall be as approved by the City Traffic Engineer . Rights-of-way to facilitate this safety feature appear to be available. h. Structurally adequate paved transitions shall be provided for. Audubon traffic west. of Friant Expressway for eastbound traffic adiacent to the easterly portion of the roadway (Audubon Drive) between Friant Road and State Highway 41. This transition shall be 60 feet in length and shall meet the proposed geometric section of Audubon Drive east of Friant Expressway. (By a previous agreement, the City will install 2 lanes (ultimate westbound) of Audubon Drive between Route 41 and Friant Road) . i. Shepherd Railroad Crossing - Omit 900 feet of median and place adequate roadway paving in its place to provide for transition area for eastbound traffic to shift north to the existing rail- road crossing. No widening of the existing railroad crossing is recommended at this time. However, one quarter of the City ' s share of the cost for upgrading the crossing protection at this railroad crossing (estimated to be $4 , 375) shall be paid to the City by the developer as an appropriate share of the cost of this future task. Barricading along the west edge of the railroad right-of-way is needed adjacent to the widened street west of the tracks. j . Future Audubon Railroad Crossing - The developer will be required to pay 25 percent of the cost (estimated to be $17 ,500) for railroad protection and related facilities at the Southern Pacific Railroad - Audubon Drive intersection. k. Any provision of street crossings at the Southern Pacific Rail- road right-of-way will require the approval of the State of Cal- ifornia Public Utilities Commission. 1. The provision of an intersection at Highway 41 will require the approval of the State 'of California Department of Transportation. The approval of Tentative Map No. 2739 and UGM Application No. 004 will be conditional until such time as the California Highway Commission approves the connection of Audubon Drive at highway 41 . m. All major street intersections shall provide "far side" 80 foot long bus stops with solid sidewalks adjacent. Streets widening for right turn lanes in advance of major street intersections shall be provided. -2- L n. As development occurs under the UGM process on the property fronting on the north side of East Shepherd Avenue and on the south side of Audubon Drive between the extended north and south boundaries of Tract No. 2739 , the City will collect a frontage charge in an amount to be determined by the Public Works Director representing the cost of the installation of the northerly 16 feet of permanent pavement on a per front foot basis installed in East Shepherd Avenue and the southerly 12 feet of permanent pavement installed in Audubon Drive by the developer of Tract No . 2739 . The City will reimburse the developer in the amount of 90 percent of the per foot frontage charge collected from the developer of the property on the east frontage. The same conditions would apply should additional development occur along Friant Road in Woodward Park. All of the above items are subject to detailed engineering design review and approval by the Public Works Director prior to installation or construction. 3. Water Service The installation of a water well to serve this development will be required. In addition, an extension of the transmission grid will be required to be installed in the major street system adjacent to this tract and connecting the well site within this tract to the existing pump station on North Millbrook Avenue near Teague Avenue. Also, a transmission grid main must be installed to connect with the existing mains located at North First Street and Alluvial. ;. Sewer Service - The subject property is not presently served by the City sewer system. Connection to the City sewer system will require the extension of the existing 21-inch sewer main located at the intersection of North First Street and East Alluvial Avenue and the extension of the existing 24-inch sewer main located at the intersection of North Millbrook Avenue and East Teague Avenue. Should additional site grading on the northeast portion of the tract provide for the use of a gravity sewer collection system graded to the south, the entire tract could be sewered with the extension of the main in North First Street alone. The project was subjected to cost/revenue analysis on September 27, 1976 . The analysis indicated that the project would result in a deficit of revenue over capital and operating costs of $988 ,470.. 00 over a five-year period. On August 4, 1976, the applicant was advised that the service delivery plan and cost/revenue analysis had been completed and that he could formally file the tentative tract for processing. He was further advised that, based on the results of the cost/revenue analysis, the Planning and Inspection Department would not support the project until it shows a surplus of revenue over costs . The Subdivision Review Committee met on October 12 , 1976 , to review the Tentative Tract Map relative to its relationship to development policies and applicable standards. The Planning Commission, at its regular meeting on November 16, 1976, considered the report and recommendation of the Planning and Inspection Department, the service delivery plan and cost/revenue analysis , and the arguments of the applicant relating to the project. -3- The applicant argued that: 1. Adequate fire protection for t :e project can be provided by the Mid-Valley Fire District if the City of Fresno will enter into a reciprocal agreement with the Fire District by which Mid- Valley Fire District will provide protective fire service for Tract No. 2739 ; and 2. The Urban .Growth Management ordinance is unfair to developers of property in that it provides for the payment of fees and the construction of improvements in anticipation of development for which a pay-back procedure has not been developed. The Planning Commission, after a lengthy public hearing, resolved to recommend that Tentative Tract Map No. 2739 , marked Exhibit "A, " dated October 15, 1976 , be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Preparation of the final map of Tract No. 2739 precisely in accordance with the tentative map thereof entitled Exhibit "A" dated October 15, 1976 , on file in the City of Fresno, Planning and Inspection Department. 2. Compliance with the terms of the Service Delivery Plan dated November 18, 1976 , which applies to Tentative Tract No. 2739; except that with regard to fire service it is recommended that the City of Fresno enter into a reciprocal agreement with the Mid-Valley Fire District wherein the Mid-Valley Fire District will provide protective fire service for Tract No. 2739. Further, it is recommended that the Public Works Department develop a payback or rebate policy for improvements required that are not located contiguous to, or within, the geographic limits of the project. 3. Compliance with all requirements in the memorandum from the Subdivision Review Committee dated November 2, 1976. 4 . Compliance with all requirements of the memorandum from the City of Fresno, Public Works Department, dated November 12 , 1976.

Kerber, Director Planning and Inspection Department FROM: Al Solis 0 Deputy Director Planning Division SUBJECT: Service Delivery Plan and Cost/Revenue Analysis for Urban Growth Management (UGM) Application No. 004 (Tentative Tract No. 2739) - Revised The attached report contains the staff analysis of UGM Application. No. 004. The report consists of (1) a revised Service Delivery Plan, and (2) a revised Cost/Revenue Analysis. The Service Delivery Plan specifies the method of extending ser- vices to the proposed development, based upon provisions of the Fresno Municipal Code and the adopted Urban Growth Management (UGM) Service Delivery Policies . This revised Service Delivery Plan reflects discussion with the applicant and additional alter- natives and corrections which have been revealed since preparation of an earlier Service Delivery Plan. The Cost/Revenue Analysis measures the fiscal impact (ratio of costs to revenues) the proposed development would have on the City ' s general fund. The analysis has been revised from an earlier analysis to address an accounting error as well as design modi- fications made to the proposed project. Results of the Cost/Revenue Analysis for this particular project indicate that the project will have an adverse fiscal impact on the City' s general fund. APS/AMS/mh CC: Service Delivery Review Committee Robert Dyer Floyd Linderman Frank J. Parr, Jr. Fred N. Rabe Edward M. Kashian UGM Application No. 004 November 18, 1976 REVISED SERVICE DELIVERY PLAN The Service Delivery Review Committee reviewed UGM Application No. 004 on June 1, 1976, July 13 , 1976 , and a Service Delivery Plan was pre- pared which proposed methods for extending municipal services to the project. Certain revisions have been made to the Service Delivery Plan, were approved by the Service Delivery Review Committee, and were forwarded to the Planning Commission for their consideration at the regularly scheduled meeting of November 16 , 1976 . FIRE SERVICE The project site is currently within the city limits of Fresno and receiving fire protection from the Fresno Fire Department, based on prescribed standards for response to vacant property as set by the insurance Services Office (ISO) . Initial response to the proposed project area would be provided from Station No. 11, located at Fresno Street and Wrenwood Street. It is approximately three and one-half (3 1/2) miles from Station No. 11 to the nearest entrance to the project. Back-up support would be provided from Station No. 6 , located at E. Gettysburg and Rowell Streets--approximately six and one-quarter (6 1/4) miles to the southeast. The Fire Department has concern for the impact of the proposed pro- ject on the City' s Class II fire protection grading based on the following: 1. The project area is three and one-half (3 1/2) miles from Fire Station No. 11. However, under the Urban Growth Management Service Delivery Policies, fire protection for single-family residential development is limited to a three (3) mile extended zone from the nearest City fire station. 2. In single-family residential subdivisions the Fire Department requires that fire hydrants be installed in accordance with Fresno City specifications on no less than a minimum six-inch (6") water main capable of flowing 1500 gallons per minute as calculated by using methods in FIRE FLOW TESTS , published by the Insurance Services Office. This system may be incorporated with the domestic water system. The Fire Department cannot furnish fire protection to the proposed project that will meet the prescribed standards set by the Insurance Services Office (ISO) or within extended limits for residential pro- tection presecribed by Urban Growth Management Service Delivery Policies. Urban Growth Management Policy 1. 6 states the following with regard to development proposals that are beyond a permanent or extended fire service area: "If a development is found to be outside the extended area, the full cost of a new station will be borne by the developer and the associated operations and maintenance will be allo- cated according to the Cost/Revenue Analysis. In this case the City Fire Chief shall make a determination of the minimum level of service required to adequately protect the planned development. He shall also approve final plans and the loca- tion of a new station. " -2- Requirements Based upon the policy cited above, a new fire station would have to be constructed in accordance with the provisions of the policy as a condition of project approval. The construction and manning of a fire station in the area of the proposed project would meet response times set by Insurance Services Office (ISO) . RELATION TO MAJOR STREET SYSTEM The Urban Growth Management Street-Related Construction Policies pro- vide that the size and quality of streets connecting a proposed development to the existing developed street system be capable of meeting traffic demand and be capable of safely providing for the passage of municipal service and emergency vehicles. Requirements Improvements shall be required for the proposed project in accordance with the following as shown on the attached typical section: 1. Friant Road Expressway between Audubon Drive and Shepherd Avenue shall be improved with 32 feet of permanent pavement on the northbound lanes with curb and gutter and the addition of a transition to the existing pavement to provide for a full 32- foot section of southbound lanes including curbs on the Median Island. 2. East Shepherd Avenue adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be impro- ved to provide for 44 feet of permanent street paving (28 feet eastbound and 16 feet westbound) including curb and gutter on the south side and curbs on the Median Island. 3. Audubon Drive adjacent to Tract No. 2739 shall be constructed with 32 feet of permanent pavement on the westbound lanes in- cluding curb and gutter and sidewalk on the north side and 12 feet of permanent pavement on the eastbound lanes with curbs on the Median Island. 4. Left turn pockets will be required where necessary at intersections. 5. Existing bikeways are to be protected at all improved locations; the bikeway on Friant Road north of Audubon Drive must be relo- cated if necessary, concurrent with the widening of Friant Road. 6. Applicable major street intersections shall be provided with underground conduit systems for facilitating future traffic signal installations. 7. Structurally adequate paved transitions shall be provided for Friant Expressway traffic south of Audubon for northbound traffic and north of Shepherd Avenue for northbound traffic. The length of the transitions shall be as approved by the City Traffic Engineer. Rights-of-way to facilitate this safety feature appear to be available. 8. Structurally adequate paved transitions shall be provided for. Audubon traffic west of Friant Expressway for eastbound traffic adjacent to the easterly portion of the roadway (Audubon Drive) between Friant Road and State Highway 41. This transition shall be 60 feet in length and shall meet the proposed geometric section of Audubon Drive east of Friant Expressway. (By a previous agreement, the City will install 2 lanes (ultimate westbound) of Audubon Drive between Route 41 and Friant Road) . • -3- • 9. Shepherd Railroad Crossing - Omit 900 feet of median and place adequate roadway paving in its place to provide for transition area for eastbound traffic to shift north to the existing rail- road crossing. No widening of the existing railroad crossing is recommended at this time. However, one quarter of the City ' s share of the cost for upgrading the crossing protection at this railroad crossing (estimated to be $4,375) shall be paid to the City by the developer as an appropriate share of the cost of this future task. Barricading along the west edge of the railroad right-of-way is needed adjacent to the widened street west of the tracks. 10. Future Audubon Railroad Crossing - The developer will be required to pay 25 percent of the cost (estimated to be $17 ,500) for railroad protection and related facilities at the Southern Pacific Railroad - Audubon Drive intersection. 11. Any provision of street crossings at the Southern Pacific Rail- road right-of-way will require the approval of the State of Cal- ifornia Public Utilities Commission. 12. The provision of an intersection at Highway 41 will require the approval of the State of California Department of Transportation. The approval of Tentative Map No. 2739 and UGM Application No. 004 will be conditional until such time as the California Highway Commission approves the connection of Audubon Drive at Highway 41. 13. All major street intersections shall provide "far side" 80 foot long bus stops with solid sidewalks adjacent. Streets widening for right turn lanes in advance of major street intersections shall be provided. 14. As development occurs under the UGM process on the property fronting on the north side of East Shepherd Avenue and on the south side Audubon Drive between the extended north and south boundaries of Tract No. 2739, the City will collect a frontage charge in an amount to be determined by the Public Works Director representing the cost of the installation of the northerly 16 feet of permanent pavement on a per front foot basis installed in East Shepherd Avenue and the southerly 12 feet of permanent pavement installed in Audubon Drive by the developer of Tract No. 2739. The City will reimburse the developer in the amount of 908 of the per foot frontage charge collected from the developer of the property on the east frontage. The same conditions would apply should addi- tional development occur along Friant Road in Woodward Park. All of the above items are subject to detailed engineering design review and approval by the Public Works Director prior to installation or construction. WATER SERVICE Requirements The installation of a water well to serve this development will be required. In addition, an extension of the transmission grid will be required to be installed in the Major Street System adjacent to this tract and connecting the well site within this tract to the existing pump station on N. "Millbrook Avenue near Teague Avenue. Also a trans- mission Grid Main must be installed .to connect with the existing mains located at N. First Street and Alluvial. • -a- SEWER SERVICE The subject property is presently not served by the City sewer system. Requirements Connection to the City sewer system will require the extension of the existing 21-inch sewer main located at the intersection of North First Street and East Alluvial Avenue and the extension of the existing - inch sewer main located at the intersection of North Millbrook Avenue and East Teague Avenue. Should additional site grading on the northeast portion of the tract provide for the use of a gravity sewer collection system graded to the south, the entire tract could be sewered with the extension of the main in North First Street alone. POLICE SERVICE Of significance to the Police Department is the fact that this project will be located approximately 1 1/2 miles north of the current most northerly City residential area receiving services from the Police Department. This will, undoubtedly, adversely impact the response time to calls for service that will come from this area. Also of importance is the fact that this proposal calls for only three entry ways into the project area rather thanthe four that were initially proposed. It should be noted thtat the entire east side of the pro- ject is bordered by a railroad track with no entries into the project area other than Shepherd Avenue. Unless the scenic drive is continued east to First Street or or west from Friant Road, all southbound traffic will be required to leave the project via Friant Road to Blackstone Avenue, or east on Shepherd Avenue to Millbrook Avenue, Cedar Avenue, or one of the other major collectors or arterials which currently suffer significant congestion problems during peak traffic hours. In conclusion, the size and projected propulation of the project will have no significant effect on Department operations; however, the location and project configuration will adversely impact response time to this project area, particularly regarding emergency calls. Additionally, traffic to and from the project area via Friant Road to Blackstone and Shepherd Avenue to Millbrook, etc. , will adversely impact the already congested traffic situation on those arterials and collectors. PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES The nearest City Park facility, being immediately adjacent to the proposed site, is Woodward Park. The nearest neighborhood recreational facility (Rotary Sports Center) is located at Gettysburg and Bond Avenues. Although the Center is used as a ponding base, various sporting activities occur during the dry months of the year. A future neighborhood park is proposed in conjunction with the existing Fort Washington-Lincoln Elementary School. The vacant and undeveloped site is located approximately one-half mile by road from the proposed project site. Interior street trees will be typically planted one tree to each lot. These trees will be purchased and installed by the developer and main- tained by the respective homeowners. The Parks and Recreation Department has no objections to the approval of the proposed project. With the eventual construction of 349 single-family homes on the site, there will be a permanent decrease in available open space of approximately 144 acres. However, the subject land is not a part of the designated open space within the incorporated area of Fresno. AMS/mh 3' 16 11' I1 ' c1?

RAQ:DV: ljl I. �t M040RANDUr4 November 12, 1976 TO: Fresno City Planning Ccamission FR04: Staff - Planning and Inspection Department SUBJECT: Tentative Tract Map No. 2739, which relates to Property hcated on the East side of North Friant Road between East Shepherd Avenue and East Nees Avenue The subject property is irregular in shape and comprises 144 acres. The property is proposed to be rezoned under Application No. 5285 from AE-20/UGM, the exclusive twenty-acre Agricultural District lying within the City of Fresno Urban Growth Management Area, to R-A/UGM, the Residen- tial Agricultural District, and R-1-C/UGM, the Single Family Residential District. The property lies within the area of influence of the Fresno Clovis Metropo- litan Area General Plan, and the Woodward Park Cammity Plan, an element of the general plan. The analysis nude a part of Rezoning Application No. 5285 states that the rezoning of the property and its proposed subdivision.into 349 lots is generally consistent with established plans and policies of the City of' Fresno. HISTORY: The project has been assessed relative to its effect on the environment. The Planning Ccnmission, on October 5, 1976, concluded that the project would not result in significant detrimental effect on the environment and on October 6, 1976 a Negative Declaration relative thereto was filed with the City Clerk. The project has been assessed by the Service Delivery Review Co mittee and a plan has been developed by which the urban services can be provided. The said plan includes information relative to: 1 . Fire Service, a new fire station would have to be constructed as a condition to project approval. 2. Sever Service, connection to City sewers will require the extension of the existing 21-inch sewer main located at the intersection of North First Street and East Alluvial Avenue and the extension of the existing 24-inch sewer main located at the intersection of :forth Mill- brook Avenue and East Teague Avenue. 3. Police Service, the location and street configuration of the project will adversely impact response time, especially in emergency situations. Traffice generated by the project will adversely impact traffic loads on adjacent street and highways. 4. Parks and Recreation Service, the project will be planted with street trees by the City and maintenance will be provided by property owners. The project will not, however, adversely effect the operations of the Department. 5. Major Streets, construction of AudCbon Avenue between Friant Road and North Blackstone Avenue bythe City of Fresno and permission to inter- sect Blackstone from the State Highway Canmission is absolutely necessary for access to the project. The developer will be responsible for all traffic control devices required by the highway ccrmission and all other street appurtenances necessary to the completion of the street. Too, it will be required that the developer provide for the widening of the Shepherd Avenue crossing at the Southern Pacific Railroad. right-of-way. t '17 ftap No. 2739 November 12, 1976 Page 2 The project was subjected to cost revenue analysis on September 27, 1976. The results of the analysis indicate that the project would result in a deficit in revenue over capital and operating costs of $1,304,255.00 over a five year period. On August 4, 1976, the applicant was advised that the Service Delivery Plan and Cost Revenue Analysis had been completed and that he could formally file the tentative tract for processing. He was further advised that based on the results of the Cost Revene Analysis the Planning and Inspection Department would not support the project until it shows a surplus of revenue over costs. The Subdivision Review Committee met on October 12, 1976 to review the Tentative Tract Map. RBCCNQa1MATIC N: Based on the information contained herein and the requirements of the Service Delivery Plan, it is recommended that the Tentative Tract Map No. 2739, be denied. However, if the Planning Commission concludes that the project benefit outweighs revenue deficiencies and wishes to recommend approval of the Tentative Tract Map, that action should be subject to the following: 1. Preparation of the Final Map of Tract 2739 precisely in accordance with the Tentative Tract Map entitled Exhibit "A" dated October 15, 1976, on file in the City of Fresno, Planning and Inspection Department. 2. Compliance with the terms of the ServiceDelivery Plan dated July 28, 1976, which applies to Tentative Tract "to, 2739. 3.

ST. JOHN, Deputy Director, Zoning Division THROUGH: AL SOLIS Deputy Director, Planning Division FROM: DAVE VALESKA, Principal Planner SUBJECT: Review of Tentative Map 2739 The Planning Division has reviewed the Tentative Map 2739 - "Voodward Park Estates" with respect to the Woodward Park Com- munity Plan and would like to offer the following comments: The majority of the subdivision is designed in accord- ance with the provisions of the R-1-C zone district which is highly compatible with the plan recommendation for medium-low density residential. The properties adjacent to Shepherd Avenue are designed in accordance with the R-A zone district which is com- patible with the plan recommendation for rural residen- tial development in the area under "unusual or abnormal circumstances. " Since this area is the transition line between rural and medium-low density residential develop- ment, the Planning Division agrees that this is an unusual situation. However, it is important to note that R-A zoning in this area does not set a precedent for R-A densities for the large areas recommended for rural resi- dential land to the north of Shepherd Avenue. The subdivision is bounded on three sides by-major ,streets , and on the fourth side by a railroad. There have been numerous meetings on this issue and the various building setbacks which are illustrated are generally acceptable. However, it should be noted that in order to obtain the required noise attenuation and aesthetic effect it will be necessary to illustrate an appropriate combination of architectural barriers and landscaping on the final map. With regard to Friant Road, it would also be appropriate to specify that there is to be no access from any of the adjacent properties directly on to the expressway. This would especially apply to Parcels No. 75 -and 17. At this point all other aspects of the tentative map appear to be in conformance with the Woodward Park Community Plan.

An appeal filed by the applicant was the subject of a Public Hearing before the Planning Commission of the City of Fresno on October 5 , 1976 , in which the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 6055 , granting the appeal . Prepara- tion of an EIR on the proposed project is therefore not required. Pursuant to Section 12-513 (c) of the Fresno Municipal Code, the decision of the Planning Commission is final and is , therefore, the only justification for this Negative Declaration. This Negative Declaration does not provide the basis for approval of entitlements and permits required for the proposed project under the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and Article 10, Chapter 12 of the Fresno Municipal Code. Finding: THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL NOT NAVE Date October 6 , 1976 A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ENV/RONMENT bmitted b .: (This finding may be appealed within 15 days of its filing with the City Clerk) L - ROBERT E. DYER ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING Date: August 10, 1976 EIR REQUIRED Environmental Assessment No. 859 Project: Preliminary Subdivision Design for TT Map 2739 and Attendant Rezoning Pursuant to Article 5, Chapter 12, of the Fresno Muni- cipal Code and Section 15080 of the State EIR Guide- lines, a determination that an environmental impact report is required for the subject project has resulted from the environmental assessment (initial study) summarized in this environmental finding. Com- ments on the relatedness of plans and policies of the City are substantive environmental considerations but do not determine conformity or non-conformity of the proposed project to such plans and policies. There- fore, this finding does not in itself provide the basis for approval or disapproval of entitlements and permits required for the proposed project under the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, and Article 10 of Chapter 12 of the Fresno Municipal Code. Summary Project Description : The proposed project consists of the rezoning of 143 . 82 acres from AE-20-UGM to R-1-C-UGM and R-A-UGM and Preliminary Subdivision Design for Tentative Tract Map No. 2739 consisting of 349 lots located on the southeast corner of Friant Road and East Shepherd Avenue. Analysis and Finding : On May 25 , 1976 , the environmental finding of EA No. 859 determined that an EIR would be required . Specific mitigation measures were recommended which could reduce or eliminate potential adverse effects on the residential environment created by the proposed subdivision. These mitigation measures included: 1 . Development standards for the proposed scenic drive and expressway to include special design, backup land- scape treatment , and open space. 2 . A determination related to whether a frontage road will will be required as a means of reducing a potential safety hazard along East Shepherd Avenue. The Zoning Ordinance requires a frontage road for residential properties with direct access to arterial streets (Section 12-1011 (b) (3) ) . 3 . A design for treatment of median island landscaping for the proposed 100-foot wide interior subdivision street through the center of the subject site. 4 . A specified and design and treatment of the open space buffer required along the Fraint Expressway by the Woodward Community Plan . 5. Design and treatment of the proposed storm drainage ponding basin (Outlot "A" ) approved by the Fresno Metro- politan Flood Control District . 6 . Resolution of health and safety issues related to the current lack of adequate fire protection services . 7 . Resolution of issues related to the provision of water and sewer service to the proposed subdivision. 1 EA No. 859 , Page 2 (EIR REQUIRED) The applicant has responded to the identification of the above referenced necessary mitigation measures through the submittal of a redesigned subdivision proposal . That proposal now con- forms to those measures as follows: 1 . A series of drawings has been submitted to show backup landscape treatment and the design of the residential lots along the Friant Expressway and Scenic Drive. 2 . No frontage roads along either Shepherd Avenue or the Scenic Drive have been shown in the revised map. It is assumed that the applicant intends to request, or anticipates , an ordinance change to allow for this design. 3 . The design and locations of interior streets have been considerably altered . A median island has been shown only for a length of 260 feet near the intersection of the Scenic Drive. No landscaping plan for that island has been shown. 4 . A sketch design showning the use of Oleanders , a six-foot high fence, and a 50-foot building setback has been shown for those lots backing on Friant Expressway . Tnformation received from the Fresno County Department of Environmental Health indicates that this design should effectively reduce the noise impact on future residents of the area . 5 . No final determination has yet been made concerning whether a temporary on-site ponding basin will be required. 6 . Issues related to human safety and the current lack of adequate fire protection services have not been resolved. 7 . Sewer and water service can be made available to the proposed subdivision in a manner determined by the Ser- vice Delivery Review Committee. Additional information related to points 1-7 which is still required includes more specific information concerning the landscape treat- ment along Friant Road, the Scenic Drive, and the area adjacent to the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks . The size of trees to be planted and the spacing of those trees is necessary to properly evaluate the aesthetic .qualities of the proposal . In addition, information is required concerning the method of disposal of storm water runoff . Also necegsary is the resolution of the Zoning Ordinance requirement of' frontage roads and the safety related implications of direct access, to an arterial street . The Fire Department has indicated that it cannot furnish fire protection to the subject area that will meet the prescribed stand- ards set by the Insurance Services Organization or within the extended limits for residential protection prescribed by the Urban Growth Management Process . The applicant provides no information to support a position that adequate fire protection service will be available to prevent potential safety hazards . Disregarding other issues related to fire insurance ratings for this area l EA No. 859 , Pagc .3 (EIR REQUIRED) or the City as a whole, if the applicant wishes to offer alterna- tive safety standards , a clear and persuasive argument must be presented that the proposed alternative (or alternatives) will create no inordinate safety hazard for humans in order for a Negative Declaration to be filed. The Police Department similarly comments that adverse impacts on the response time for calls for police service, noting in partic- ular that the project is 1 . 5 miles north of the most northerly residential area that is presently served by city police. Public safety is 'also a major consideration from the standpoint of police service. On the basis of the above information, it has been found that environmental effects that may result from this project are sub- stantial enough to prevent a Negative Declaration Finding. An Environmental Impact Report must therefore be prepared . The required EIR may focus upon the subject of adequate fire pro- tection, police protection , and human safety, including alterna- tives that the applicant may wish to offer . Reference may be made to previously prepared EIR ' s that contain information on the . natural environment and other information relating to broadly defined plans and annexations that include the proposed project site . (Final EIR No. 10033 , Friant Shepherd No. l Annexation, and Final EIR No. 10049 , Woodward Park Community Plan) Information relating to detailed subdivision design requirements will be considered as part of the subdivision review process .

CITY OF MMNO Near Mr. Parr: SUBJECT: Director Recommendation For Urban Growth Management Application No. 004 (Preliminary Tentative Tract No. 2739) This letter is to inform you of the results of our staff analysis ;: f UGM Application No. 004. (Preliminary Tentative Tract No. 2739) . hen this proposal was initially reviewed by this department and the Service Delivery Review Committee, significant design pro- .�Iems were identified. It was felt that these problems could .,est be resolved through the specific plan process. You were informed of this determination in a meeting with Planning and .ispection Department staff menbers on June 10, 1976. Dur subsequent redesign of Tentative Tract No. 2739, submitted July i , 1976 , has been reviewed. It has been determined that certain design problems which were previously identified have been mitigated to the extent that the project can be processed without :waiting completion of a specific plan. A Service Delivery Plan and Cost/Revenue Analysis have been com- leted for the proposed project in accordance with the Fresno :.snicipal Code. Section 12-1024 of the Code provides that a Service Delivery Plan shall be prepared and a Cost/Revenue Analy- 7,is shall be made before the Director of Planning and Inspection may ai..cept for processing any tentative tract map for residential :levelopment which includes land in the Urban Growth Management Area . the attached Urban Growth Management Report, including a Service Delivery Plan and Cost/Revenue Analysis, constitutes satisfaction cf the above-mentioned requirement of the Fresno Municipal Code. 7 Mr. Frank Parr, Jr. August 4 , 1976 Page Two The Service Delivery Plan specifies the method of extending services to the proposed development, based upon the Fresno Municipal Code and adopted Urban Growth Management Service Delivery Policies. Requirements related to the extension of urban services are noted in the Service Delivery Plan. At any future consideration of your application by the City Planning Commission or the City Council, staff will recommend that ap- proval of the proposed Project be conditioned upon your compli- ance with all the requirements set forth .in the Service Delivery Plan. Specific methods of service hook-up and on-site improvements are identified later during the subdivision review process. The Cost/Revenue Analysis measures the fiscal impact (ratio of costs to revenue) the proposed development would have on the City ' s general fund. Results of the Cost/Revenue Analysis for this particular project indicate that the project will generate an excess of costs over revenues to the City ' s general fund. Based upon the adopted Urban Growth Management policies , staff will recommend disapproval of the project so long as the project shows an adverse fiscal impact to the City. This recommendation will be presented by staff at any future consideration of your application before the Planning Commission or City Council. If you have any questions regarding the Urban Growth Management Report, please contact Mr. Al Solis, Deputy Director, Planning Division, at 488-1365. Subject to the satisfactory completion of requirements under the City of Fresno Environmental Quality Ordinance, you may file your tentative tract map for processing. If you have any questions in this regard, please contact Mr. Robert Dyer, Principal Planner, Development Services Division, at 488-1499. Very truly yours , George' A.

Kerber, Director, Planning and Inspection FROM: Al SolisDeputy Director, Planning Division SUBJECT: Urban Growth Management Report For UGM Application No. 004 (Preliminary Tentative Tract No. 2739) This report summarizes the staff analysis of UGM Application No. 004. The report consists of (1) a Service Delivery Plan and (2) a Cost/Revenue Analysis. The Service Delivery Plan specifies the method of extending services to the proposed development, based upon provisions of the Fresno Municipal Code and the adopted Urban Growth Management Service Delivery Policies. The Cost/Revenue Analysis measures the fiscal impact (ratio of costs to revenue) the proposed development would have on the City' s general fund. Results of the Cost/Revenue Analysis for this particular pro- ject indicate that the project will have an adverse fiscal impact on the City ' s general fund. r APS/AMS/mh 7/29/76 UGM Application .No. 004 July 28,, 1976 SERVICE DELIVERY PLAN The Service Delivery Review Committee, having reviewed UGM Application No. 004 on June 1, 1976 , and July 13, 1976 , has proposed the following methods of extending principal muni- cipal services to the project. FIRE SERVICE The project site is currently within the city/m is of Fresno and receiving fire protection from the Fresire�epartment, based on prescribed standards for respons cant property as set by the Insurance Services Office O) Initial response to the proposed proj area ould be provided from Station No. 11, located at No th sno treet and Wren- wood Street. It is approximatel h a one-half (3 1/2) miles from Station No. 11 to es entrance to the pro- ject. Back-up support woul be p ovi d from Station No. 6 , located at East Gettysbu wel Streets--approximately six and one-quarter (6 1 m' es o the southeast. The Fire Departmen has er for the impact of the City' s Class II fire prot do gra ng based on the following: 1. Fire protection s ' gle-family residential development is limited to a t re (3) mile extended zone from the near- est City Fire Station. The project area is three and one-half (3 1/2) miles from Station No. 11. 2. In single-family residential subdivisions the Fire Department requires that fire hydrants be installed in accordance with Fresno City specifications on no less than a minimum six- inch (6" ) water main capable of flowing 1500 gallons per minute as calculated by using methods in FIRE FLOW TESTS, published by the Insurance Services Office. This system may be incorporated with the domestic water system. The Fire Department cannot furnish fire protection to the pro- posed project that will meet the prescribed standards set by the Insurance Services Office (ISO) or within extended limits for residential protection prescribed by Urban Growth Manage- ment Service Delivery Policies . 7 Urban Growth Management Policy 1. 6 states the following with regard to development proposals that are beyond a permanent or extended fire service area: "If a development is found to be outside the extended area, the full cost of a new station will be borne by the developer, and the associated operations and maintenance will be allocated according to the Cost/ Revenue Analysis. In this case the City Fire Chief shall make a determination of the minimum level of service required to adequately protect the planned development. He shall also approve final plans and the location of a new station. " Requirements Based upon the policy cited above , a new fire station would have to be constructed in accordance with the provisions of th.e policy as a condition of project approval. The construc- tion and manning of a fire station in the area of the pro- posed project would meet response times set by Insurance Services Office (ISO) . RELATION TO MAJOR STREET SYSTEM The Urban Growth Management Street-Related Construction Policies provide that the size and quality of streets connecting a pro- posed development to the existing developed street system be capable of meeting traffic demand and be capable of safely pro- viding for the passage of municipal service and emergency vehicles. Requirements Improvements shall be required for the proposed project in accordance with one of the following alternatives, to be deter- mined by the Department of Public Works: Alternative I . Improvement of Friant Road 1. Friant Road between the Woodward Park Scenic Drive and Shepherd Avenue shall be improved with curb, gutter and permanent street paving adjacent to the proposed subdivision together with any transitional street paving to meet the existing street configuration. 2 . Left turn pockets will be required where necessary at intersections. 3. The relocation of the Woodward Park entrance road on the west side of Friant Road to a point southwest of the existing location will be necessary to accommodate the alignment of the -2- Woodward Park Scenic Drive-Friant Road inter- section. (The City will participate in relo- cation construction costs of the park site entrance road to the extent that such con- struction occurs on or adjacent to park pro- perty. ) 4 . The developer will be required to pay 50 per cent of the cost for traffic signals at the Scenic Drive-Friant Road intersection. 5. Friant Road at Nees Avenue will require a left turn slot in the southbound lane with any necessary pavement transition to include the widening of the pavement at the railroad crossing on Friant Road north of Nees Avenue. 6. Installation of an additional approach lane (to accommodate a force left and choice of left or right turn) will be required in the west bound lane of Friant Road at the High- way 41 intersection. 7. Installation of a signal system at the Friant Road-Highway 41 intersection will be required. The State may participate in the costs of sig- nal installation. 8 . Existing bikeways are to be protected at all improved locations ; the bikeway on Friant Road north of Nees Avenue must be relocated, if necessary, with the widening of Friant Road. 9. East Shepherd Avenue adjacent to Tract 2739 will be required to be improved to accommodate two lanes (8 foot pattern with 36 ' of street paving) with any necessary pavement transition at the railroad crossing. 10. The Scenic Drive adjacent to Tract 2739 shall be developed with two westbound lanes and one east- bound lane separated with a median island and a temporary turn around at the railroad crossing. 11. Traffic circulation sidewalks and standard street lighting will be required on the south side of Shepherd Avenue between the eastern most street and the eastern boundary of the tract. Alternative II. Improvement of Scenic Drive and First Street 1. Friant Road between the Woodward Park Scenic Drive and Shepherd Avenue shall be improved with curb, gutter and permanent street paving adjacent to the proposed subdivision together -3- with any transitional street paving to meet the existing street configuration. 2. Left turn pockets will be required where necessary at intersections. 3 . The relocation of the Woodward Park entrance road on the west side of Friant Road to a point southwest of the existing location will be necessary to accommodate the alignment of the Woodward Park Scenic Drive-Friant Road intersection. (The ity will participate in relocation construction costs of the park site entrance road to the extent that such construc- tion occurs on or adjacent to park property. ) 4 . The developer will be required to pay 25 per cent of the cost for traffic signals at the Scenic Drive-Friant Road intersection. 5. East Shepherd Avenue adjacent to Tract 2739 will be required to be improved to accommodate two lanes (8 foot pattern with 36 ' of street paving) with any necessary pavement transition at the railroad crossing. 6. The Scenic Drive adjacent to Tract 2739 shall be developed with two westbound lanes and one east- bound lane separated with a median island, and include the installation of a railroad crossing with protection and any necessary transition. The Scenic Drive is to be developed to Nees Avenue at the First Street alignment. 7 . First Street from Nees Avenue south shall be developed with two lanes and shoulders to Allu- vial Avenue. The southbound lane of First Street from Alluvial Avenue south shall be de- veloped to the existing two way portion of First Street at the northern boundary of Tract No. 2312. 8. Traffic circulation sidewalks and standard street lighting will be required on the southside of Shepherd Avenue between the eastern most street and the eastern boundary of the tract. In addition to the above requirements, the following comments are noted: 1 . Any provision of street crossings at the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way will require the approval of the State oflCalifornia Public Utilities Commission. 2. The provision of an intersection at Highway 41 will require the approval of the State of California Depart- ment of Transportation. -4- WATER SERVICE Water Service can be provided by the well site on Millbrook Avenue one-quarter mile north of Teague Avenue , adjacent to the Fort Washington-Lincoln Elementary School. This well site was initiated to serve Clovis West High School. Requirements 1. Water mains must be extended from the well site on Mill- brook Avenue near Teague Avenue to serve the subdivision. 2. The water well supply charge ($185/acre) will be applicable to this development, in accordance with Ordinance No. 76-9 . SEWER SERVICE r The subject property is presently not served by the City sewer system. Requirements 1. Connection to City sewers will require the extension of the existing 21-inch sewer main located at the intersection of North First Street and East Alluvial Avenue and the exten- sion of the existing 24-inch sewer main located at the in- tersection of North Millbrook Avenue and East Teague Avenue. POLICE SERVICE Of significance to the Police Department is the fact that this project will be located approximately 1 1/2 miles north of the current most northerly City residential area receiving services from the Police Department. This will, undoubtedly, adversely impact the response time to calls for service that will come from this area. Also of importance is the fact that this proposal calls for only three entry ways into the project area rather than the four that were initially proposed. It should be noted that the entire east side of the project is bordered by a railroad tract with no entries into the project area other than Shepherd Avenue. Unless the scenic drive is continued east to First Street or west from Friant Road, all southbound traffic will be required to leave the project via Friant Road to Blackstone Avenue, or east on Shepherd Avenue to Millbrook Avenue, Cedar Avenue, or one of the other major collectors or arterials which currently suffer significant congesftion problems during peak traffic hours. -5- In conclusion, the size and projected population of this pro- ject will have no significant effect on Department operations ; however, the location and project configuration will adversely impact response time to this project area, particularly regard- ing emergency calls. Additionally, traffic to and from the project area via Friant Road to Blackstone and Shepherd Avenue to Millbrook, etc. , will adversely impact the already congested traffic situation on those arterial and collectors. PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES The nearest City Park facility, being immediately adjacent to the proposed site, is Woodward Park. The nearest neighborhood recreational facility (Rotary Sports Center) is located at Gettysburg and Bond Avenues. Although the Center is used as a ponding basin, various sporting activities occur during the dry months of the year. A future neighborhood park is proposed in conjunction with the existing Fort Washington-Lincoln Elementary School. The vacant and undeveloped park site is located approximately one-half mile by road from the proposed project site. Interior street trees will be typically planted one tree to each lot. These trees will be purchased and installed by the developer and maintained by the respective homeowners. The Parks and Recreation Department has no objections to the approval of the proposed project. With the eventual construc- tion of 349 single-family homes on the site, there will be a permanent decrease in available open space of approximately 144 acres . However, the subject land is not a part of the designated open space within the incorporated area of Fresno. y -6- CITY OF FRESNO COST/REVENUE ANALYSIS REPORT RESIDENTIAL PROJECT Date: July 26 , 1976 Project Number : UGM No. 004 Applicant : Frank J.

Martin, PWD FROM: James 0. Whitmer, C.T.E. SUBJECT: Recommend Street Improvements for Streets Adjacent to Tract #2739 (East Side Friant Road South Side of Shepherd) This tract is subject to the U.G.M. process and is also in a transitional area between urban and rural areas, therefore, special requirements are being recommended for your approval. . These recommendations pertain only to the major streets adjacent to the tract and are not intended to exclude additional off-site: improvements that may be required by the U.G.M. process. SHEPHERD - North side of the tract. Normal subdivision requirements would call for the southside to be developed with curb and gutter, sidewalks, 18 ft. of pavement, and street lighting with 135 ft. maximum spacing. A pavement transition would be required to match the existing pavement east of the subdivision and the median would have to be paved at all intersection locations which provide crossing and left turn movements. The Planning and Inspection Department would probably require a service road because of lots fronting on Shepherd. This development is low density with the lots fronting on Shepherd being about 40,000 sq. ft. This is a transitional area between urban and rural usage. The U.G.M. process which applies to this tract requires 24 ft. of permanent pavement in addition to the normal requirements. 2 mile and a mile left turn lanes plus any left turn lanes serving the development Page Two are also the responsibility of the applicant. It is recommended that the following requirements be used in place of the normal requirements: (1) That a 450 batter curb with standard gutter where appropriate be installed on both sides of the median island and on the south side of Shepherd. (2) That no service road be required and that the driveway approaches be a minimum of 24 ft. wide. (3) The installation of appropriate left turn lanes and transitions to meet existing pavement at the east line of the tract. (4) That 26 ft. of permanent pavement be installed between the median island curb and the south side gutter. (5) That 16 ft. of permanent pavement be installed north of the north median island curb. (6) Street lighting to be installed at intersections with transitional lighting leading up to the intersection. No other mid-block lighting required. (7) That bus turn outs including sidewalk in the curb returns and 100 ft. beyond the return be installed on the south side of Shepherd east of Friant and east of the main entrance street from Shepherd. FRIANT ROAD - Shepherd to Scenic Drive Normal requirements and UGM requirements are the same as on Shepherd with the addition of the requirement of a northbound r Page hree bike lane; and the deletion of a service road because of back-up treatment. The following requirements are recommended:. (1) Battered curb and gutter on the east side. (2) 32 ft. of pavement to be installed on the east side of the ultimate median island location. This will provide a four lane divided section and a bike lane on fWE east side. Install battered curbs on both sides of the ultimate median island. �D (3) Install left turn lanes as follows: (A) northbound V I, and southbound at Scenic Drive (B) southbound at Shepherd. Q (4) Install appropriate transitions south of Scenic Drive (l},4 Q and north of Shepherd to accommodate northbound traffic on this new 32 ft. of roadway. (5) Provide northbound right turn lane at Scenic Drive � w and at Shepherd. (6) Install intersection street lighting with appropriate v ( transitional lighting. (7) Bus turn out including sidewalk in the curb return and 100 ft. north of the curb return to be installed on the east side of Friant north of Scenic Drive. SCENIC DRIVE - Friant to east end of tract. It is my understanding that the developer intends to put in street improvements for properties on both sides of this section of Scenic Drive. 44 ft. of pavement is required under UGM for the subject tract. Amer 44 ft. could be required for the property on the Southside. It is recommended that the full development of this street be required, including any turn around or transition J \ at the easterly end. Battered curb and gutter should be used. . Full sidewalks and street liy}tting to be installed . CITY OF FRESNO OCTOBER 21, 1976 MEMORANDUM TO: HUBERT E. ST. JOHN, SECRETARY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF FRESNO THROUGH: L.

Existing Services The project site is currently within the city limits of Fresno and receiving fire protection from the Fresno Fire Department, based on prescribed standards for response to vacant property as set by the Insurance Services Office (ISO) . Initial response to proposed area would be provided from Station No. 11 , located at North Fresno Street and Wrenwood-- approximately three and one-half (3 1/2) miles to the southeast. Backup support would be provided from Station No. 6, located at East Gettysburg and Rowell--approximately six and one-quarter (6 1/4) miles to the southeast. B. Extension of Services The Fire Department has concern for the impact of the City' s Class II fire protection grading based on the following: 1 . Fire protection delivered to the project area for single- family residential development is limited to a three-mile (3-mi. ) extended zone from the nearest City Fire Station. (a) Project area is three and one-half (3 1/2) miles from Station No. 11. MEMORANDUM HUBERT E. ST. JOHN, SECRETARY Page 2 October 21, 1976 2. In the single-family residence subdivision the Fire Department requires that fire hydrants be installed in accordance with Fresno City specifications on no less than a minimum six-inch (6" ) water main capable of flowing 1500 gallons per minute as calculated by using methods in FIRE FLOW TESTS, published by the Insurance Services Office. This system may be incorporated with the domestic water system. C. Staff Recommendations The Fire Department cannot furnish fire protection to the subject area that will meet standards prescribed by ISO or within extended limits for residential protection prescribed by Urban Growth Management Process. The construction and manning of a Fire Station in the area would meet response time set by ISO. Street Access Present access to proposed area is limited. There is only one access from the south, Scenic Drive, and no access from the east or west of project. The Fire Department requires that streets which end with a turnaround (cul-de-sac) be no longer than four hundred and fifty feet (450 ' ) in length.

JOHN, SECRETARY Fresno City Planning Commission November 1, 1976 Page two (8) Final improvement plans for the development are to be reviewed by the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District prior to final map approval. (9) Comments: The District will construct the master planned storm drainage facilities located within the limits of the Tract at the time of its development. However, these facilities will not operate as a complete system due to downstream portions of the storm drain lines not being completed. Therefore, the subdivision will have to use these facilities in conjunction with temporary on-site ponding basins that would be constructed by the developer. There will be two ponding basins required. One basin should be located in' the vicinity of Lots 260 , 261, 262 , and 263; the other basin would be located in the area of Lot 1. Two 15--foot storm drainage easements will be required. One easement should be located along the southwestern boundary of Lot 1, the other easement to be located between Lots 45 and 46 , and 45 and 47. These easements should be shown on the final tract map. There have been previous discussions between the developer and the District concerning the feasibility of providing permanent storm drainage service to the subdivision, and thus eliminating the need for temporary ponding facilities. The District is financially incapable of providing such permanent service at this time; however, the developer has expressed an interest in entering into an agreement with the District to provide funding for the necessary facilities. Thus far, no agreement has been established. Therefore, the previous comments concerning drainage facilities and temporary ponding is the District' s current position on the subject. If in the future, however, we are able to arrange such an agreement, permanent drainaye could be provided and the temporary ponding basins would not be required.

The Parks and Recreation Department wishes to make the following recom- mendations and statements regarding the landscape development along Friant Road. 1 . The irrigation system should be a subsurface or underground type with emitters or bubbler heads. 2. Grading of the soil should be restricted to flat or slightly sloping; no mounding of soil will be acceptable. 3. Planting in the area should be of a low maintenance type. The plant material should consist of hardy type trees, shrubs and a groundcover such as Arcadia Juniper. 4.

CITY OF FRESNO Attention: Hubert E. St. John Gentlemen: Subject: Tentative Tract No. 2739 - Woodward Park Estates The following comments are offered relative to the above referral map: General Comments The subdivision proposal appears to be consistent with the density recommendations of the Woodward Park Community Plan. However, the Woodward Park Plan is a 20-year plan and it appears that this subdivision would be premature. Vacant, undeveloped land exists in closer proximity to the urbanizing area than this property. The programing for necessary urban services appears to be lacking, including sewers, water distribution system, fire protection facilities, etc. Other services such as police and garbage collection will be more expensive to provide because of this location. If approved, this subdivision will cause uneconomical delivery of services, a waste of valuable energy resources, and inefficient use of City resources. Subdivision Design Comments 1 . Friant Road, adjacent to the site, has an adopted plan line (OPSH No. 85) that requires 126 feet of right-of-way. This Tentative Tract does not make provision for said right-of-way. 2. Friant Road is designated as an expressway. Because of excessive noise generated from Friant Road and the visual impact of persons viewing the site from Woodward Park, a six foot high berm or com- bination berm and solid masonry wall (decorative) with landscaping should be provided along Friant Road. The perpetual maintenance of the landscaping via a Property Owners Association (or other acceptable arrangement) should be required. 3. Lots located along Friant Road and the Southern Pacific Railroad should either be set back a sufficient distance, or a noise barrier (including masonry wall and sound proofed housing requirement) should be provided for noise attenuation from the Railroad. Either alternative should be in accordance with Fresno County Noise Ordinance. City of Fresno Page two October 21., 1976 4: If permanent drainage facilities are not available, on-site ponding or storm waters should be required. 5. The interior streets should be named. 6. The two cul-de-sacs serving Lots 245 through 250, and 137 through 140 should be redesigned. Right skewed cul-de-sacs should not be permitted. 7. Lots 148 through 1.50, and .333 through: 337 should be redesigned to insure that side lot lines are radial to the streets. 8. The walkway along the eastern boundary line should -be eliminated unless safe crossing at the Railroad track can be insured. 9. Access to Lots 1 , 2, 9, 10, 69, and 260 should be restricted to the interior streets. Thank you for the opportunity of reviewing the above project.

Britton, Chief Fresno Police Departmene / � SUBJECT: Tentative Map of Tract #2739 (Woodward Park Estates) Location Southeast corner of Shepherd and Friant Road. As a result of reviewing the tentative map of Tract #2739 (Woodward Park Estates) , the following areas of concern have been determined. It was observed that there are only three entry ways for vehicular traffic into the proposed development. Two of . these on the North side of the project to Shepherd Avenue and the other is to the South to Scenic Drive. The entire East side of the development is bounded by a railroad track with the only access from the East being Shepherd Avenue, and a small walkway in the approximate center of the project. As a result of this, all vehicular traffic must enter from Scenic Drive via Friant Road and Blackstone or from Shepherd via Millbrook, Cedar, or one of the other major collectors or arterials which currently suffer significant congestion problems during peak traffic hours. Of prime concern to the Police Department at this time is the non-systematic configuration of the streets and numerous cul de sacs throughout the development. A response of emergency services to any one particular location within this proposed project would be extremely difficult at best and would significantly impact the response times of those necessary emergency services.

As you realize, Friant Road is dissimilar to Herndon Avenue in that traffic density, truck mix, speed, and route classifications are not the same, and thus the noise propagated by vehicular traffic will also be different. Fortunately, future residential structures along Friant Road will not be subjected to the high noise levels currently being experienced along Herndon Avenue, and, therefore, the development criteria for noise compatability need not be as stringent. With this in mind, I have calculated some "what if" examples for you, and they can be found on the attached sheet. The basic assumptions that were incorporated in the calculations used to derive the LIO projections were an ADT of 8800 vehicles of which 5% (versus 9% on Herndon Avenue) were trucks, average speed would be 45 mph (versus 55 mph on Herndon Avenue) , traffic would flow on four 12 foot lanes with a 4 foot center divider, a 30 foot setback from the highway shoulder to the rear property line (as proposed on the parcel map) would be utilized, and a design criteria of a Ll0 70dBA would be the maximum desired noise level. The L10 AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION/EQUAL OPPORTUNITY DEPARTMENT SERVING THE COUNTY AND All THE CITIES Al Solis June 11 , 1976 Page Two of 70dBA is the same level utilized in the Herndon Avenue calculations, and is used as the criteria for an acceptable noise level by Cal Trans. It should be mentioned that residences within 800 feet of traffic control signs will experience an increase in noise from truck traffic and a decrease from automobile traffic. All calculations were based on criteria deliniated in Fundamentals and Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise, by Bolt Becanek and Newman Inc. , and on data received from the City of Fresno Traffic Engineering Department. I hope the attached examples will aid you in planning future developments along Friant Road, and please do not hesitate to contact me should you have further questions or requests. Very truly yours, Kenneth C. Stuart, R. S. Environmental Health System KCS:md cc: Ken Koch, City Planning Attachment ATTACHMLNT 1 UGM Application No. 004 Noise Level Projections 1. Using a 55 foot setback and no barrier*, the exterior noise level at the building site would be an approximate LIO of 72dBA, a level which would exceed the Cal Trans design criteria. The 55 foot setback would be the resultant building location if the parcel map included in the UGM application were to be approved, and the development were to utilize a 30 foot setback from the road to the rear property line plus a required 25 foot setback from the property line to the residential structure. 2. Using a 100 foot setback and no barrier, the exterior noise level at the building site would be an approximate LIO of 67dBA, a level which would comply with the Cal Trans design criteria. 3. Using a 6 foot barrier (2 foot effective height) placed 30 feet from the highway and 25 feet from the residential structure, the exterior noise level at the dwelling would be an approximate LIO of 64 dBA, a level which would comply with the Cal Trans design criteria. The 2 foot effective height is derived from the fact that the vehicular noise source (excluding truck exhausts) is propagated at approximately 4 feet above the highway, thus leaving 2 feet of barrier to effectively attenuate the noise. If the proposed tract is 2 feet below the grade of the highway, the 6 foot barrier would not attenuate the noise as the noise path between the source and the receiver would not be interrupted. 4. Using an 8 foot barrier (4 foot effective height) placed 30 feet from the highway and 25 feet from the residential structure, the exterior noise level at the dwelling would be an approximate LIO of 59dBA, a Level which would comply with the Cal Trans design criteria. 5. Using a 6 foot barrier (2 foot effective height) placed 10 feet from the highway and 40 feet from the residential structure, the exterior noise level at the dwelling would be an approximate 40 of 62dBA, a level which would comply with the Cal Trans design criteria. 6. Using an 8 foot barrier (4 foot effective height) placed 10 feet from the highway and 40 feet from the residential structure, the exterior noise level at the dwelling would be an approximate LIO of 59dBA, a level which would comply with the Cal Trans design criteria.

An Environmental Impact Report must therefore be prepared for review and certification by the City of Fresno. Please find enclosed a copy of the Environmental Finding, which has been filed with the Fresno City Clerk. Your attention is called to the fact service delivery review and cost-revenue analysis provides the opportunity for mitigation of adverse effects identified through the environmental assessment process . Preparation of the specific plan will also serve to mitigate other potentially adverse effects. Completion of the service delivery review, cost-revenue analysis, and specific plan will include an integrated review of the pro- posed project. It is therefore suggested that you await comple- tion of these processes. Should you wish to appeal this finding, you may do so by submit- ting the reasons for such appeal in writing to this Department before 5 p.m. , June 9, 1976.

Dyer, Frri cipal Planner RED/jdw Enclosure ENVIRONMENTAL FINONG Date : May 5, 1976 EIR REQUIRED Environmental Assessment No. 859 Pursuant to Article 5, chapter 12, of the Fresno Municipal Code and Section 15080 of the State EIR Guidelines, a determination that an environmental impact report is required for the subject project has resulted from the environmental assess- ment (in.itial study) summarized in this environmental finding. Comments on the relatedness of plans and policies of the city are substantive environmental considerations but do not determine conformity or non-conformity of the proposed project to such plans and policies. Therefore this finding does not in itself provide the basis for approval or disapproval of entitlements and permits required for the proposed project under the provisions of the Zoning ordinance, and Article 10 of Chapter 12 of the Fresno Municipal Code. Summary Project Description : The proposed project consists of the rezoning of 143 . 82 acres from AE-20 to R-1-C and R-A and Tentative Tract Map No. 2739 consisting of 363 lots located on the southeast corner of Friant Road and East Shepherd Avenue. Analysis and Finding : The existing land use within the subject area consists of vacant land which is currently being used for dry farming (grain) . Forkner Ditch traverses the site in a southeasterly direction. The soil type for the subject area consists of San Joaquin Loam, with hard pan at a depth of 12 to 24 inches and with a low water holding capacity. The properties surrounding the sub- ject area are zoned AE-20 with the exception of the land to the west zoned AE-5 . The surrounding land use to the north consists of vacant land and East Shepherd Avenue a designated arterial now developed as a 60-foot country road . To the east exists the Southern Pacific Railroad spur line and vacant land, to the west exists North Friant Road a designated scenic expressway and Wood- ward Park. To the south exists vacant land. The proposed project, as a whole, will yield approximately 2. 5 single-family dwellings per acre. The 1974 Fresno-Clovis Metro- politan General Plan designates the subject area for agricultural open space use. The Woodward Park Community Plan designates the subject area for rural density residential along Shepherd and medium-low density residential for all other areas to the south. The plan also portrays an open space buffer along Friant Road. The medium-low density designation includes the ratio of 2 . 00 to 3 . 50 dwelling units per gross acre. The rural density designation provides for less than 0 . 7 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project conforms to the medium-low density designation but the R-A area is slightly higher than the rural density designation. It has not as yet been determined if the 30-foot landscaped strip shown adjacent to Friant Road will be. considered adequate to satisfy the Woodward Park Community Plan requirement of an open space buffer between that road and adjacent residences . The proposed project is within an area that is subject to Urban Growth Management Process . Section 12-1024 (c) of the Urban Growth Management Ordinance requires that a proposed tentative tract map be subject to an environmental assessment, a service delivery review and a cost revenue analysis . Section 12-1024 states that before the Director of Planning accepts for pprgce�s$�.T?,g any tenta- tive map, he may require the preparatiori33�Na� S���c'i'f•Y'c Plan for the subject area prior to processing entiC'leiiienN -alpplication. It is anticipated that such a specific plan will be required for this project (Items 1 through 5, listed at the conclusion of this find- ing, outline the content of the specifip rrlald S7 AVW 916 The proposed project is in a rural setting t and is not within the aeJivery range of all essential urban services .

Fire Station 11 located at North Fresno Street and East Wrenwood Avenue is approximately 3 miles from the proposed project and exceeds the desired 2. 0 miles running distance. The City Police Department has indicated that the proposed project will create a cumulative adverse effect on the Department's capabilities to provide adequate service to such an outlying area. It has recommended that prior to actual construction, plans be submitted to the Fresno Police Department ' s Crime and Loss Preven- tion Unit for their suggested minimum building security standards and information on the Seal of Security Program. The City' s Public Works Department has indicated that the size and location of the proposed project will require substantial mitigat- ing measures to address the environmental impact of sewer and water extensions. The subject site proposes a ponding basin at the project ' s southern boundary. However, there is no indication of its approximate size. The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District has indicated that from the standpoint of storm drainage, the proposed project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Access to the proposed project will be provided by Friant Road a designated expressway, East Shepherd Avenue a designated arterial and by a proposed scenic drive to the south. The Traffic Engineer- ing Division has indicated that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment. However, it indi- cated that the proposed subdivision's direct access to Friant Road Expressway will not be permitted. The proposed 363 lot subdivision is expected to generate 3 , 630 vehicle trips per 24-hour weekday, based upon Traffic Engineering Studies. Not enough information is currently available to determine whether or not existing or pro- posed streets will be developed to a capacity to handle this increase in traffic . As previously noted, the subject property is designated for event- ual urban development. However, development of the subject property within the near future would result in the bypassing of large amounts of vacant developable land closer to the established urban area. Such development contributes to an overall pattern of land use which directly results in a higher than necessary amount of total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) . Vehicle related air pollution and an inefficient use of energy resources is thereby increased. This potential was identified in the Final Environmental Impact Report (No. 10049 ) prepared for the Woodward Community Plan as a significant and avoidable environmental effect resulting in slowed air quality improvement. The proposed project site has been subject to Final EIRs (No. 10033) for the Friant-Shepherd No. 1 Annexation and the Woodward Park Com- munity Plan (No. 10049) . Both EIRs focus on environmental impacts at a macro level. The level of specificity of those EIRs is not considered sufficient to avoid the necessity for further detailed consideration of the environmental effects of this particular sub- division proposed for development at this particular point in time. On the basis of the above information, it has been found that, unless the above-referenced effects can be adequately mitigated the proposed project may have a significant adverse effect on the environment and an Environmental Impact Report must be prepared. Opportunities for mitigation of these effects are provided by the service delivery review and cost/revenue analysis phases of the Urban Growth Management Process as well as the opportunity provided by the Urban Growth Management Element for the preparation of a specific plan for the area. Specific mitigation measures which could reduce or eliminate possible adverse effects include: EA #859-Page 3 r 1 . Development standards for the proposed scenic drive and expressway to include special design, backup land- scape treatment, and open space. 2 . A determination related to whether a frontage road will be required as a means of reducing a potential safety hazard along East Shepherd Avenue. The Zoning Ordinance requires a frontage road for residential properties with direct access to arterial streets (Section 12-1011 (b) (3) ) . 3. A design for treatment of median island landscaping for the proposed 100-foot wide interior subdivision street through the center of the subject site. 4 . A specified and design and treatment of the open- space buffer required along the Friant Expressway by the Woodward Community Plan. 5. Design and treatment of the proposed storm drain- age ponding basin (Outlot "A") approved by the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District. 6 . Resolution of health and safety issues related to the current lack of adequate fire protection services. 7 . Resolution of issues related to the provision of water and sewer service to the proposed subdivision. DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & INSPECTION Development Services Divsion 4eit E.
