Step 1:Determine the Special Tax Requirement (as defined in Section A
above) for the fiscal year in which the Special Tax will be collected;
Step 2:Calculate the total special tax revenues that could be collected from
taxable property within CFD No. 11 based on applying the Maximum

subdivision as identified in Table 1, until the amount of the Special Tax
levy equals the Special Tax Requirement for that fiscal year.
The Special Tax for CFD No. 11 shall be collected in the same manner and at the same
time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 11 may

will be equally subject to penalties and foreclosure if delinquent.
E.EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special
Tax, no Special Tax shall be levied on parcels that have been conveyed to a public
agency, except as otherwise provided in City Law. In addition, no Special Tax shall be
levied on excluded parcels or parcels that are determined not to be developable lots.

RECOMMENDATION
The appropriateness of the proposed text amendment has been examined pursuant to Section 12-
402 of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC),and the Director of the Development and Resource
Management Department has determined that the proposed text amendment is consistent with the
goals and policies in the 2025 Fresno General Plan.Upon consideration of staff evaluation,it can

use. Therefore, staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1.APPROVE the environmental finding for Environmental Assessment No.TA-14-002,dated May
1,2014,pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3),that there is no possibility that this
project may have a significant effect on the environment.
2.ADOPT Ordinance Bill approving Text Amendment Application No.TA-14-002,amending Section
12-4.508-E of the Fresno Municipal Code regarding Urban Growth Management development

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Text Amendment No.TA-14-002 (see Exhibit A for Ordinance Bill)was initiated by the Director
of the Development and Resource Management Department and proposes to amend Section
12-4.508-E of the FMC relating to Urban Growth Management (UGM)Fire Stations and
Development Restrictions.The text amendment would allow the Fire Chief to determine that
the Fire Department’s physical response time is equivalent to running distance.This is now
necessary because more tools are available to estimate response time and doing so would
maximize the use of existing fire stations. Staff supports the proposed text amendment.
PROJECT INFORMATION
PROJECT Text Amendment No. TA-14-002 proposes to amend Section 12-4.508-E of the
FMC relating to Urban Growth Management (UGM) Fire Stations and
Development Restrictions in order to maximize the use of existing fire stations.
APPLICANT City of Fresno - Development and Resource Management Department
LOCATION Citywide
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING A finding that there is no possibility that this project may have a
significant effect on the environment was made for Environmental
Assessment No. TA-14-002, dated May 1, 2014, pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). See Exhibit B for
environmental finding.
PLAN COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATION
Council District Plan Implementation Committees 1, 4, 5 and 6
recommended approval of the text amendment. Council District
Plan Implementation Committees 2 and 3 made no comment.
PLANNING COMMISSION On May 21, 2014, the Planning Commission recommended that
the City Council: (1) adopt environmental finding, dated May 1,
2014; (2) approve Text Amendment No. TA-14-002 as presented
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the proposed text amendment and adopt the related
environmental finding
BACKGROUND
Currently,the FMC requires that in all UGM areas,no commercial or industrial development is
permitted beyond the three mile running distance of an existing and operating fire station
unless the developer first constructs a fire station to serve such development.Running
distance is defined as “the actual distance which must be traveled over public streets or rights
-or-way from a fire station to reach the scene of a fire incident (FMC Section 12.4.501.5-G).”
The Development and Resource Management Director is currently allowed to grant a
temporary waiver from this requirement when the Fire Chief finds that certain conditions
apply.The text amendment would add another basis for the granting of the waiver if the
physical response time is equivalent to the industry standard response time of the three mile
running distance.
The FMC currently requires all new commercial and industrial construction to be within a
three mile running distance from a fire station to allow for appropriate response times.
Industry recognizes a three mile running distance as a four minute average response time.
There are geographical areas near the city limits that are within three driving miles of a fire
City of Fresno Printed on 12/15/2022Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-082 Agenda Date:7/17/2014 Agenda #:
There are geographical areas near the city limits that are within three driving miles of a fire
station,but exceed the four minute response time because of road conditions and traffic
patterns.There are also areas that are within four minutes driving time,but outside the three
mile running distance from the closest fire station.
Physical response time is the actual time it takes a fire apparatus,while responding with
emergency lights and sirens,from the fire station to the ending point,which is four minutes of
driving time in all directions from the fire station.This standard would be equivalent to the
three mile running distance from the fire station as defined in the FMC.
The intent of the proposed text amendment is to allow the Fire Chief to take into consideration
the use of freeways and other expressways that may allow a fire apparatus to extend the
running distance,thus maximizing the use of existing fire stations and ensuring that new
development is not conditioned with construction of new fire stations if the property is within
the four minute response time.
The attached map shows the areas within and around the city that would be served by the
three mile running distance and the four mile response time (Exhibit C).
PUBLIC NOTICE AND INPUT
In accordance with Fresno Municipal Code Section 12-402-B,a notice of public hearing was
published in the Fresno Bee on April 27,2014,ten days prior to the Planning Commission
hearing date,and again on June 13,2014,ten days prior to the June 26,2014 City Council
hearing date. No comments have been received to date.
The Airport Land Use Commission reviewed the text amendment on April 7,2014 and found it
consistent with the airport land use plans within the City of Fresno.
Council District Committees 1,4,5 and 6 recommended approval of the text amendment.
Council Districts 2 supported the amendment and 3 made no comment.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission considered the text amendment at its regularly scheduled meeting
of May 21,2014.No members of the public spoke in support or in opposition to the proposed
text amendment.The Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed text
amendment and related environmental finding by a 5-0-1 vote,with Commissioner Vasquez
absent (See Exhibit D for Planning Commission Resolution).
2025 Fresno General Plan Objectives and Policies
Objective E-25 of the Public Facilities Element states:
Ensure that fire protection,emergency medical and all emergency services are provided in an
adequate, efficient and cost effective manner.
Policy E-25-a further states:
City of Fresno Printed on 12/15/2022Page 3 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-082 Agenda Date:7/17/2014 Agenda #:
Utilize the procedures and criteria contained within the Urban Growth Management Policy and
Ordinance to provide an equitable means through which the provision of fire service can be
addressed throughout the UGM area including the planned North and Southeast Growth
Areas.
Staff believes that the proposed amendment is consistent with the above objective and policy,
as it would increase the areas of the urban area that can be adequately and safely served by
existing fire stations, thereby increasing the efficient provision of city services.
Conclusion
Staff believes that the proposed text amendment is in the best interest of the City of Fresno
and supports Text Amendment No.TA-14-002 as proposed in the attached Ordinance Bill.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), there is no possibility that this project may have
a significant effect on the environment. The text amendment is providing an additional criterion by
which a temporary waiver may be granted for the provision of a fire station if a project is located
within response time equivalent to the three mile running distance. The proposed four-minute
response time is consistent with the city standards for response times and considered to be
equivalent to the three-mile running distance.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
N/A.
FISCAL IMPACT
Affirmative action by the Council will result in timely deliverance of the review and processing of the
application as is reasonably expected by the applicant.Prudent financial management is
demonstrated by the expeditious completion of this land use application inasmuch as the applicant
has paid to the city a fee for the processing of this application and that fee is,in turn,funding the
respective operations of the Development and Resource Management Department.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
July 17, 2014
FROM:CAROLYN T. HOGG, Director
Information Services Department
BY:BRYON HORN, Information Services Manager
Information Services Department
SUBJECT
Approve the First Amendment to the Services Agreement between the City of Fresno and Community
Media Access Collaborative (CMAC) to increase video production service hours in the amount of
$27,000 annually
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council approval of an Amendment to provide additional video production
service hours by CMAC in order to completely cover Council Meetings, press releases, Mayoral and
other special events. The $27,000 annual increase will provide approximately 540 hours per year
and will relieve the Information Services Department (ISD) from video responsibility.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For the past three years, ISD has been providing video services for City of Fresno events and this
has become a burden to ISD’s support resources. The City of Fresno’s current video requirements
are estimated to be 45-50 hours per month, while the multi-faceted CMAC original Agreement allows
for only 25 hours. CMAC has agreed to provide this increased video service at a rate of $50 per
hour, an industry standard.
BACKGROUND
ISD acquired video services when the City Manager’s Office video team dissolved in 2011. As
Information Technology (IT) support needs, upgrades and implementations have continually
increased over the years, using specialty trained IT staff to perform video services reduces the
support levels available for City IT Operations. CMAC has provided excellent services to the City of
Fresno since July 20, 2010; they have also grown in their business capabilities to the extent that they
are ready and able to take on the full number of video hours we require. ISD will remain the back-up

term, renewable each year, per Council approval.

Act.The approval of Vesting Tentative Map No.6003 will expire on July 25,2016.The Final Map is technically correct
and conforms to the approved Tentative Map,the Subdivision Map Act and the Fresno Municipal Code.The provisions of

fees due as a condition of approval for the Final Map in the amount of $155,928.91.Covenants have been executed to
defer eligible development impact fees totaling $497,748.26 to the time of issuance of building permit and final occupancy
of each unit and for annual CFD-11 assessment notification.The City Attorney’s Office has approved all documents as to
form.

subdivision into the City’s Community Facility District No. 11 (CFD-11) on March 21, 2013.
The Subdivider has executed the covenant for Maintenance of Certain Improvements and is required to provide every
prospective purchaser of each lot of the subdivision the “Notice of Special Tax”,in accordance with the provision of
Section 53341.5 of the California Government Code.The maximum annual assessment is $34.22 per lot with an annual
3% adjustment plus the increase, if any, in the construction cost index for the San Francisco Region.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 this item does not qualify
as a “project” and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference is not applicable to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Final Map is located in Council District 6.There will be no impact to the City’s General Fund.Approval by the
Council will result in timely deliverance of the review and processing of the Final Map as is reasonably expected by the
Subdivider.Prudent financial management is demonstrated by the expeditious completion of this Final Map inasmuch as
the Subdivider has paid the city a fee for the processing of this Final Map and that fee is,in turn,funding the respective
operations of the Public Works Department.

a primary maintenance facility for numerous aircraft charter operations.His knowledge of rare and
antique aircraft engines also allows him to serve a specialized market ranging across Central
California. This lease has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This lease falls within the Class 1 Categorical Exemptions set forth in California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines,Sections 15301(a)and (d)(Existing Facilities),as it involves minor or

significant negative effects relating to traffic,noise,air quality or water quality.None of the
exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines,Section 15300.2 apply to this

complementary system of airports serving th e entire range of airport users safely ,
secure ly and effi c iently , offering reliable, high quality aviation products and services to
meet th e air transportation needs and desires of the region's citizens , visitors ,
commerce and eco nomy in a n environmentally friendly manner and as a good neighbor.
Exhibit "D"
To meet these policy goals, the Department shall be guided by the following principles:

affirmative votes)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing acceptance of $70,000 in
grant funding,authorize the Chief of Police to enter into and execute the agreement and all program
required documents,and adopt the 1st Amendment to the AAR No.2014-95 to appropriate these
funds into the FY 2015 budget.Funds have been awarded by the ABC for the 2014-2015 Grant
Assistance to Local Law Enforcement Agencies Project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ABC has awarded $70,000 in grant funding to the Fresno Police Department (“FPD”)to provide
prevention,education,and enforcement of alcohol related enforcement issues.The grant period is in
effect from July 1,2014 to June 30,2015.The funding will assist with the cost of a detective
assigned to this enforcement program and program related training.

on-sale),FPD realizes the importance of issues related to alcoholic beverage education,
enforcement,and abuse prevention.Our goal is to increase alcohol awareness,educate officers,
licensees and the community,and to hold licensees accountable.This can be accomplished by:
attending Roll Call Training Sessions;meeting with Problem Oriented Policing and School Resource
Officers;providing education to the community,licensees and their employees;conducting IMPACT
Inspections,DUI Educational Checkpoints,and other undercover operations (Decoy,Shoulder Tap,
Drunk Decoy, Trap Door, and more).
Sales of alcoholic beverages to minors and furnishing alcoholic beverages to minors remain among
the top alcohol-related concerns of the community and law enforcement.FPD and FPD/ABC
operations have shown that licensees will sell alcohol to minors and adults will frequently purchase
alcoholic beverages for minors in violation of the law.
Driving under the influence of alcohol also continues to be a major challenge for FPD.In 2013,there
were 314 DUI collisions,83 DUI injury collisions,and 6 fatalities resulting from DUI collisions.FPD
conducted 63 DUI Educational Checkpoints,and 16 Saturation Area Checks,this past year.A total of
2,693 individuals were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol within the City of Fresno.In
addition,we conducted 51 “Decisions for Life”Classes with 1773 attendees.The “Decisions for Life”
Classes are hosted by FPD’s Traffic Safety Section.
City Attorney has reviewed and approved both the resolution and the Grant Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
N/A
LOCAL PREFERENCE
N/A due to State and Federal money
FISCAL IMPACT
The impact to the general fund will be a savings of $68,350 that will offset the cost of the reassigned
detective’s time and enforcement activities.An AAR is attached.This funding will enable FPD to
continue its efforts to prevent underage drinking and the sale of alcohol to minors through education
and enforcement within the City of Fresno.

BACKGROUND
In 2009,the State of California adopted Recycled Water Policy establishing a mandate to increase
the use of recycled water in California by 200,000 acre-feet per year by 2020 and by additional
300,000 acre-feet per year by 2030.
To achieve that goal,the City has a Recycled Water Master Plan (Master Plan)that serves as the
basis to support decision making processes in the selection of recycled water projects.The Master
Plan examines urban reuse,agricultural reuse,groundwater recharge and institutional exchanges of
recycled water for potable water.
The Master Plan is needed to facilitate the goals set forth in the City’s Urban Water Management
Plan (UWMP),which requires the recycling of 25,000 acre-feet of water each year by 2025 to offset
potable water use and meet future water demands.The Master Plan includes plan for installation
and operation of treatment,storage and distribution infrastructure to serve the proposed project areas
with recycled water.
The Recycled Water Ordinance will assist the City in implementing the Recycled Water Program set
forth in the Master Plan.The Ordinance will establish water recycling policy and criteria for its use
within the current City limits as well as its Sphere of Influence and future land annexations.It will
contain provisions addressing various topics related to the implementation of the goals,policies and
objectives of the Master Plan.
The Ordinance will delegate the Department of Public Utilities Wastewater Management Division the
authority to prepare,adopt and administer rules and regulations related to the implementation of the
various provisions of the Recycled Water Program.
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved the proposed ordinance to form.Feedback
from future recycled water users,including the Building Industry Association (BIA)was taken into
consideration when drafting the applicability and implementation of this ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
On April 11,2013,The City Council adopted Resolution 2013-45 which among other actions,certified
final environmental impact report (EIR No.44471)dated June 2011 (State Clearinghouse No.
2010051015)and adopted the Recycled Water Master Plan which included the development and
adoption of a Recycled Water Ordinance.This ordinance is part of the Recycled Water Master Plan
project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because this amendment to the Fresno Municipal Code does
not include a bid or award of a construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT

SUBJECT
Award a contract in the amount of $411,751 to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for design and
engineering services for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station area enhancements associated with the
Bus and Bus Livability Grant - Bid File No. 100413JD
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council award a contract in the amount of $411,751 to Kimley-Horn Associates for
design and engineering services associated with Van Ness/Mariposa BRT station area
enhancements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this project is to significantly improve pedestrian safety and enhance passenger
experience associated with the signature BRT station located at Van Ness and Mariposa.This
project will also provide critical connectivity between Courthouse Park and the Fulton Corridor.
On October 4,2013,the City of Fresno,Department of Transportation/Fresno Area Express (FAX)
issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ)for design and engineering services associated with Van
Ness/Mariposa BRT station area enhancements.Kimley-Horn and Associates,Inc.(KHA)was the
only firm to submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ)before the due date.Because these
enhancements are an integral part of the BRT project and because the Bus and Bus Livability Grant
was not awarded until after the BRT designs services contract was issued,the Federal Transit
Authority (FTA)required this scope of services be issued as a competitive procurement.Although
several firms made inquiries regarding this project,when they realized the project was at 60 percent
design,and the current design firm was eligible to submit an SOQ,they all indicated they were not
likely to submit SOQs. Staff evaluated the KHA SOQ and found the firm to be well qualified.

The specific enhancements associated with this project include a mid-block pedestrian crosswalk
across Van Ness at Mariposa,pedestrian controlled traffic signals at the crosswalk,a pedestrian
bridge on the park side of the street to accommodate a direct link from the Mariposa Mall to
Courthouse Park,and new public restroom(s)on or near the Mariposa Mall.These enhancements
are being funded by a $2,445,300 Bus and Bus Livability Grant from the FTA.
BACKGROUND
The City of Fresno,through FAX,has received a $2,445,300 Bus and Bus Livability Grant from the
FTA.The purpose of the grant is to provide pedestrian access improvements,transportation corridor
improvements, and replace or modernize intermodal facilities.
This grant was specifically awarded to provide BRT station area enhancements associated with the
Mariposa and Van Ness BRT station;to improve the connectivity between the Courthouse Park
transfer stations,the Mariposa Mall,and the future High Speed Rail Station;and to build a strong
connection with the Fulton corridor.
On October 4,2013,FAX issued an RFQ for design and engineering services associated with Van
Ness/Mariposa BRT station area enhancements.KHA was the only firm to submit an SOQ on
October 15,2013,when SOQs were due.Because these enhancements are an integral part of the
BRT project and because the Bus and Bus Livability Grant was not awarded until after the BRT
designs services contract was issued,FTA required this scope of services be issued as a competitive
procurement.Several firms made inquiries regarding this project,but when they realized the project
was at 60 percent design and the current design firm was eligible to submit an SOQ,they all
indicated they were not likely to submit proposals.Staff evaluated the KHA SOQ and found the firm

force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to
CITY. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for CITY to
terminate this Agreement. No action taken by CITY pursuant to this section shall in any way
relieve CONSULTANT of its responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase “fail to maintain
any required insurance” shall include, without limitation, notification received by CITY that an
insurer has commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it,
indicating that the insurer is insolvent.
(c) The fact that insurance is obtained by CONSULTANT shall not be
deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONSULTANT, including, without limitation, liability
under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify CITY shall apply to all
claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits
do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by CONSULTANT.
Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability
nor limit the liability of CONSULTANT, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under
the supervision of CONSULTANT, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants,
subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
(d) If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the services to
be performed under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall require each subcontractor/sub-
consultant to provide insurance protection, as an additional insured, to the CITY and each of its
officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of this
section, except that any required certificates and applicable endorsements shall be on file
with CONSULTANT and CITY prior to the commencement of any services by the
subcontractor. CONSULTANT and any subcontractor/sub-consultant shall establish additional
insured status for CITY, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers by using
Insurance Service Office (ISO) Form CG 20 10 11 85 or both CG 20 10 10 01 and CG
20 37 10 01 or by an executed manuscript company endorsement providing additional insured
status as broad as that contained in ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85.

Exhibit A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Consultant Service Agreement between City of Fresno (“City”)
and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (“Consultant”)
DESIGN AND ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR ASSOCIATED BUS AND BUS LIVABILITY
GRANT WORK FOR THE MARIPOSA/VAN NESS BUS RAPID TRANSIT STATION AREA
PROJECT TITLE
Van Ness Avenue between Fresno Street and Tulare Street is being revised to accommodate
the proposed Fresno Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. This proposed additional work includes
a new mid-block pedestrian traffic signal, new sidewalks and bulb outs, median islands, new
aesthetic railing, and a pedestrian bridge.
The proposed mid-block pedestrian signal for Van Ness Avenue would require new signal pole
foundations, possibly supported/anchored to the top of the existing underground parking
structure. In addition, it is assumed that the existing railing at Van Ness will be removed and
replaced with a more aesthetic railing.
The proposed pedestrian bridge will carry pedestrians from Van Ness Avenue over the
existing parking structure access stairs and ramps. For ADA compliance, a 10-foot wide
concrete slab bridge with a gentle profile and vertical curves are anticipated. Unlike steel, a
concrete slab bridge could be formed to produce slow transition from the roadway surface
down to the stair landing. The pedestrian bridge would be connected to the roof of the park ing
structure with new concrete columns extending through the multi-level to the lowest level. The
concrete columns would require new foundations at the lowest level of the parking structure.
The existing parking structure access stairs will likely need to be modified to accommodate the
proposed pedestrian bridge.
The existing bathrooms in the parking garage will also be renovated.
TASK 1 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) will provide project management services f or
this additional working, following the original Fresno BRT project scope. Kimley-Horn will
coordinate with subconsultants PIVOT, LCNA, Biggs Cardosa, AECOM, Quad Knopf, and
Blackburn Consulting for design of the revised improvements around the Van Ness BRT
station. Kimley-Horn will also work closely with the City to prepare and refine design concepts.
The Kimley-Horn project manager and ITS/Systems/Traffic Lead will meet with the City Public
Works Department and others at the City to review the proposed improvements and work to
address and incorporate their comments into the final concept.
Kimley-Horn will also perform QC/QA services for this additional work. Our QC/QA will follow
the Fresno BRT QC plan.
Bus Livability; +100K A&E CONSULT FED 04-10-14
Page 2 of 7
TASK 2 – DATA GATHERING
Sub-Task 2.1 Site Survey and Record Research
Our subconsultants Quad Knopf and AECOM will gather additional data in an expanded area
around the two Van Ness BRT stations. Our team will provide data gathering services as
outlined in the original scope. Kimley-Horn will coordinate its effort for efficiently performing
field reconnaissance and gathering the required data/information. We will compile copies of
these drawings, digitally (when available) and hard copies for the older mapping, and create a
list of the archive improvement plans found.
Kimley-Horn will research governing agencies to locate and review readily availab le record
drawings for the additional features around the new BRT station location. The drawings will
include street plans, survey plats, Right of way maps, etc.
We will provide additional topographic data collection (mobile LIDAR supplemented by
expanded field surveys). We assume we can utilize the existing aerial captured for the BRT
project, along with the right-of-way lines resolved for the BRT under the BRT contract.
Our subconsultant Blackburn Consulting will provide geotechnical services for this effort,
including completing a Draft and Final Foundation Report for design of the signal-span
pedestrian bridge.
Sub-Task 2.2 Coordinate, Obtain Permits, and Mark for USA
Blackburn will coordinate with the client to discuss the project issues and schedule. They will
review the site for drill rig access, mark the exploratory boring location and notify Underground
Service Alert (USA). Blackburn will obtain an encroachment permit from the City of Fresno for
drilling and access through City property. Blackburn assumes that the City will waive any
encroachment permit fees and bond requirements. Should these be required, they will be
considered additional services.
Sub-Task 2.3 Subsurface Exploration
Blackburn will drill, log and sample one exploratory boring to a depth of about 50 feet below
existing grade at the top of the existing stairway near the proposed east abutment.
Blackburn will core the existing concrete flatwork, and then advance the boring with 4-inch to
6-inch diameter solid or hollow stem augers, collecting samples at approximate 5-foot intervals
with Standard Penetration Test (SPT) or California Modified samplers. A Blackburn Engineer
or Geologist will log the boring and direct the sampling operations. Blackburn will backfill the
boring with native cuttings, and patch the upper 10 inches with concrete.
Sub-Task 2.4 Laboratory Testing
Blackburn will perform the following laboratory tests on relatively undisturbed samples or bulk
samples obtained from the exploratory borings:
• Moisture Content and Unit Weight for bearing capacity, lateral capacity, and settlement
analyses.
• Sieve Analysis and Plasticity Index for classification and soil expansion potential.
• Resistivity, pH, Sulfate Content and Chloride Content for soil corrosivity analysis.
Sub-Task 2.5 Evaluation and Analysis
Blackburn will perform evaluation and engineering analysis (using computer software where
applicable) for the following: foundation bearing capacity; lateral earth pressures; site
seismicity (distance to nearby faults, peak ground acceleration (ARS curve) and liquefaction
Bus Livability; +100K A&E CONSULT FED 04-10-14
Page 3 of 7
potential); and soil corrosivity in accordance with current Caltrans guidelines and
recommendations. Blackburn will also evaluate suitable L-Pile soil parameters for lateral pile
analysis to be performed by Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc.
Sub-Task 2.6 Draft and Final Foundation Report
Blackburn will prepare and submit a Draft Foundation Report. The report will include
preliminary recommendations for bridge design in general accordance with current Caltrans
guidelines including: Scope of Work; Site Description; Project Description; Field Exploration;
Laboratory Testing; Site Geology and Subsurface Conditions; Seismic Data and Evaluation;
Liquefaction Evaluation; Foundation Recommendations, L-Pile Soil Parameters, Lateral Earth
Pressures; Construction Considerations; Location Map; Log of Test Borings; and Laboratory
Test Results.
Blackburn will submit the Draft Foundation Report for distribution to the project review team.
Once we receive all draft report comments, we will complete the Final Foundation Report.
Blackburn will complete the Draft Foundation Report within 4-6 weeks of receiving a fully
signed agreement assuming that encroachment permit restrictions that prevent or delay
Blackburn from completing the boring. Blackburn will complete the Final Foundation Report
within 1-2 weeks after receiving all draft report comments.
Sub-Task 2.7 Traffic Analysis
Kimley-Horn will evaluate the proposed Van Ness BRT station operation in relation to the
adjacent Van Ness Avenue/Fresno Street and Van Ness Avenue/Tulare Street intersections.
The operational evaluation will consider near-term and cumulative traffic conditions (without
and with the station). The evaluation will also consider the effects of closing the free right turn
from the underground parking garage onto Fresno Street (i.e. without and with the driveway
closure). Traffic volumes will be obtained from the 2012 traffic impact study prepared by Fehr
and Peers for the BRT EIR. The evaluation will be completed using Highway Capacity Manual
methodology within Synchro software and a memorandum will be prepared which includes
text and tables describing the results. Level of service results will be compared to the
significance criteria from the Fehr and Peers report and impacts will be identified if present.
TASK 3 – UTILITY COORDINATION
Utility coordination at this location will be performed in accordance with the original project
scope but in an expanded area around the two BRT stations. Subconsultants AECOM and
Quad Knopf will request, research, and gather readily available additional utility information to
identify those utilities which could be affected by construction of the additional improvements
at this location. They will also review utility information and determine additional utility conflicts
that arise because of the revised design at this location. Once conflicts have been identified,
the wet and dry utility coordinators will work with the respective utility companies and
coordinate protect-in-place or relocation designs (assumed to be performed by the impacted
utilities). This scope does not include utility relocation design by our team; this would be
considered additional services.
Our fee provides for up to 36 hours of wet utility coordination by AECOM and up to 36 hours of
dry utility coordination by Quad Knopf.
In addition, Quad Knopf will coordinate with PG&E to facilitate up to two (2) new electrical
service points, one for the traffic signal and a second one for street/pedestrian lighting.

TASK 4 – CIVIL DESIGN AND PS&E PACKAGE
This task includes preparation of construction documents (plans, special provisions and
estimates) for the additional civil improvements at the Van Ness Ave location. It specifically
excludes the design of the two new stations at Van Ness, as those are covered by the existing
BRT contract.
Our team will design and create PS&E for the new mid-block bulb-outs and sidewalk, roadway
and median design along Van Ness (from Tulare to Fresno, including minor work across each
intersection), signing and striping, and cost estimating. We will coordinate with the Structural
subconsultant and Traffic Lead to assist in designing the signal pole foundations.
The following 2 submittals will be provided:
60% PS&E – stand-alone submittal
100 % PS&E – combined with the BRT 100% deliverable
Should additional revisions and submittals be required not due to Consultant’s negligence,
errors, or omissions, these revisions will be considered additional services.
TASK 5 – TRAFFIC DESIGN
Kimley-Horn will perform traffic signal design for the new pedestrian mid-block traffic signal.
This signal will require specialized foundations given their location on top of the existing
parking garage. Biggs Cardosa will design those foundations as outlined in Task 6.
Kimley-Horn will also design traffic signal modifications to the signals at Van Ness/Tulare and
Van Ness/Fresno to accommodate the revised Van Ness geometry. This may include new
detection, new signal poles with signal head realignment, new signal heads on existing poles,
and/or new conduit and pull boxes to accommodate new poles.
It is anticipated that the 60% PS&E for the Van Ness traffic signal will be a separate submittal
from the BRT 60% due to the Fresno BRT schedule. It is anticipated that at the 100%
submittal stage, the Van Ness improvements discussed in this scope would be combined with
the BRT project 100% deliverable.
TASK 6 – STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE SERVICES
Sub-Task 6.1 Structural Design Services
The following structural design services will be performed by subconsultant Biggs Cardosa:
General Scope of Work:

Provide a specification list at the 60% milestone, draft specifications at the 90%
milestone, and final specifications at the 100% submittal.
Perform independent quality control check of structural plans, calculations, and
specifications. The check will include the review the structural construction
documents for conformance to the design criteria, completeness, and
constructability. The check will also include a review of the interfaces with other
design disciplines.
Review of plans and specifications with required agencies to assist FAX in getting
plans approval and determining required permits and application procedures
related to the stations (3 meetings in Fresno).
Provide regular informal communication with Architect regarding structural
engineering and structural issues related to bridge and railing architecture. Attend
meetings with the design team (4 meetings).
Attend and participate in two workshops: Focus on pedestrian bridge and aesthetic
railing design. The Kimley-Horn team to present early design concepts and refined
concept workshop. Up to two unique pedestrian bridge designs and unique railing
designs are to be investigated.
The Underground Parking Structure as-built drawings are in bad shape with
portions not legible. Since the proposed pedestrian bridge will likely be connected
to the roof of the existing parking structure, understanding and having all available
information is critical to the project.
Since better as-built drawings and post tension stand layout record drawings are
likely not available, an extended site visit including non-destructive test (NDT) will
be performed. During the site visit, information on structure member sizes and
locations would be recorded. NDT would be utilized to locate and map post
tension stands and reinforcing in the structure roof, floors and walls.
Sub-Task 6.2 Pedestrian Enrichments
Subconsultant PIVOT will work with the City to refine various concepts, meet with FAX and
others at the City, in order to solicit their input on the various concepts.

Pedestrian modifications include revisions to the street-side railing and the installation and
design of a new pedestrian bridge across the opening to the pedestrian tunnel on the north
side of Van Ness. PIVOT will lead a workshop to identify the aesthetic and functional goals for
the new bridge and railings. Following the workshop, PIVOT will produce a summary report,
refine the concepts (maximum of two concepts), and participate in a review meeting with City
staff to determine the preferred design direction. The workshop will also address potential
improvements to the streetscape including landscape and lighting opportunities that will be
designed by others. PIVOT will work with Biggs Cardosa Associates to review impacts of new
columns within the parking garage and assist KHA with revisions to parking striping.

BUS RAPID TRANSIT STATION AT MARIPOSA AND VAN NESS AND
ASSOCIATED BUS AND BUS LIVABILITY GRANT WORK
TASK 1 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Kimley-Horn will provide project management services for this additional working,
following the original Fresno BRT project scope. Kimley-Horn will coordinate with
subconsultants PIVOT, LCNA, Biggs Cardosa, AECOM, Quad Knopf, and Blackburn for
design of the revised improvements around the Van Ness BRT station. Kimley-Horn will
also work closely with the City to prepare and refine design concepts.
The Kimley-Horn project manager and ITS/Systems/Traffic Lead will meet with the City
Public Works Department and others at the City as needed to review the proposed
improvements and work to address and incorporate their comments into the final
concept.
Kimley-Horn will also perform QC/QA services for this additional work. Our QC/QA will
follow the Fresno BRT QC plan.
TASK 2 – DATA GATHERING
Sub-Task 2.1 Site Survey and Record Research
Our subconsultants Quad Knopf and AECOM will gather additional data in an expanded
area around the two Van Ness BRT stations. Our team will provide data gathering
services as outlined in the original scope. Kimley-Horn will coordinate its effort for
efficiently performing field reconnaissance and gathering the required data/information.
We will compile copies of these drawings, digitally (when available) and hard copies for
the older mapping, and create a list of the archive improvement plans found.
Kimley-Horn will research governing agencies to locate and review readily available
record drawings for the additional features around the new BRT station location. The
drawings will include street plans, survey plats, Right of way maps, etc.
We will provide additional topographic data collection (mobile LIDAR supplemented by
expanded field surveys). We assume we can utilize the existing aerial captured for the
BRT project, along with the right-of-way lines resolved for the BRT under the original
contract.
Our subconsultant Blackburn Consulting will provide geotechnical services for this
effort, including completing a Draft and Final Foundation Report for design of the signal -
span pedestrian bridge.
Sub-Task 2.2 Coordinate, Obtain Permits, and Mark for USA
Blackburn will coordinate with the client to discuss the project issues and schedule.
They will review the site for drill rig access, mark the exploratory boring location and
notify Underground Service Alert (USA). Blackburn will obtain an encroachment permit
from the City of Fresno for drilling and access through City property. BCI assumes that
the City will waive any encroachment permit fees and bond requirements.
Sub-Task 2.3 Subsurface Exploration
Blackburn will drill, log and sample one exploratory boring to a depth of about 50 feet
below existing grade at the top of the existing stairway near the proposed east
abutment.
Blackburn will core the existing concrete flatwork, and then advance the boring with 4-
inch to 6-inch diameter solid or hollow stem augers, collecting samples at approximate
5-foot intervals with Standard Penetration Test (SPT) or California Modified samplers.
A Blackburn Engineer or Geologist will log the boring and direct the sampling
operations. Blackburn will backfill the boring with native cuttings, and patch the upper
10 inches with concrete.
Sub-Task 2.4 Laboratory Testing
Blackburn will perform the following laboratory tests on relatively un disturbed samples
or bulk samples obtained from the exploratory borings:
• Moisture Content and Unit Weight for bearing capacity, lateral capacity, and
settlement analyses.
• Sieve Analysis and Plasticity Index for classification and soil expansion potenti al.
• Resistivity, pH, Sulfate Content and Chloride Content for soil corrosivity analysis.
Sub-Task 2.5 Evaluation and Analysis
Blackburn will perform evaluation and engineering analysis (using computer software
where applicable) for the following: foundation bearing capacity; lateral earth pressures;
site seismicity (distance to nearby faults, peak ground acceleration (ARS curve) and
liquefaction potential); and soil corrosivity in accordance with current Caltrans guidelines
and recommendations. Blackburn will also evaluate suitable L -Pile soil parameters for
lateral pile analysis to be performed by Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc.
Sub-Task 2.6 Draft and Final Foundation Report
Blackburn will prepare and submit a Draft Foundation Report. The report will include
preliminary recommendations for bridge design in general accordance with current
Caltrans guidelines including: Scope of Work; Site Description; Project Description;
Field Exploration; Laboratory Testing; Site Geology and Subsurface Conditions; Seismic
Data and Evaluation; Liquefaction Evaluation; Foundation Recommendations, L -Pile
Soil Parameters, Lateral Earth Pressures; Construction Considerations; Location Map;
Log of Test Borings; and Laboratory Test Results.
Blackburn will submit the Draft Foundation Report for distribution to the project review
team. Once we receive all draft report comments, we will complete the F inal
Foundation Report.
Blackburn will complete the Draft Foundation Report within 4-6 weeks of receiving a
fully signed agreement assuming that encroachment permit restrictions that prevent or
delay Blackburn from completing the boring. Blackburn will c omplete the Final
Foundation Report within 1-2 weeks after receiving all draft report comments.
Sub-Task 2.7 Traffic Analysis
Kimley-Horn will evaluate the proposed Van Ness BRT station operation in relation to
the adjacent Van Ness Avenue/Fresno Street and Van Ness Avenue/Tulare Street
intersections. The operational evaluation will consider near-term and cumulative traffic
conditions (without and with the station). The evaluation will also consider the effects of
closing the free right turn from the underground parking garage onto Fresno Street (i.e.
without and with the driveway closure). Traffic volumes will be obtained from the 2012
traffic impact study prepared by Fehr and Peers for the BRT EIR. The evaluation will be
completed using Highway Capacity Manual methodology within Synchro software and a
memorandum will be prepared which includes text and tables describing the results.
Level of service results will be compared to the significance criteria from the Fehr and
Peers report and impacts will be identified if present.
TASK 3 – UTILITY COORDINATION
Utility coordination at this location will be performed in accordance with the original
project scope but in an expanded area around the two BRT stations. Subconsultants
AECOM and Quad Kopf will request, research, and gather all readily available
additional utility information to identify those utilities which could be affected by
construction of the additional improvements at this location. They will also review utility
information and determine additional utility conflicts that arise because of the revised
design at this location. Once conflicts have been identified, the wet an d dry utility
coordinators will work with the respective utility companies and coordinate protect -in-
place or relocation designs (assumed to be performed by the impacted utilities). This
scope does not include utility relocation design by our team.
TASK 4 – CIVIL DESIGN AND PS&E PACKAGE
This task includes preparation of construction documents (plans, special provisions and
estimates) for the additional civil improvements at the Van Ness Ave location. It
specifically excludes the design of the two new st ations at Van Ness, as those are
covered by the existing BRT contract.
Our team will design and create PS&E for the new mid -block bulb-outs and sidewalk,
roadway and median design along Van Ness (from Tulare to Fresno, including minor
work across each intersection), signing and striping, and cost estimating. We will
coordinate with the Structural subconsultant and Traffic Lead to assist in designing the
signal pole foundations.
The following 2 submittals will be provided:
60% PS&E – stand-alone submittal
90% PS&E – combined with the BRT 90% deliverable
100% PS&E – combined with the BRT 100% deliverable
Should the 90% and 100% BRT submittals be combined, it is assumed that a third
deliverable would be a final, or revised 100%, deliverable, as necessary.
Should additional revisions and submittals be required not due to Consultant’s
negligence, errors, or omissions, then these revisions will be considered additional
services.
TASK 5 – TRAFFIC DESIGN
Kimley-Horn will perform traffic signal design for the new pedestrian mid-block traffic
signal. This signal will require specialized foundations given their location on top of the
existing parking garage. Biggs Cardosa will design those foundations as outlined in
Task 6.
Kimley-Horn will also design traffic signal modifications to the signals at Van
Ness/Tulare and Van Ness/Fresno to accommodate the revised Van Ness geometry.
This may include new detection, new signal poles with signal head realignment, new
signal heads on existing poles, and/or new conduit and pull boxes to accommodate new
poles.
It is anticipated that the 60% PS&E for the Van Ness traffic signal will be a separate
submittal from the BRT 60% due to the Fresno BRT schedule. It is anticipated that at
the 90% and 100% submittal stage, the Van Ness improvements discussed in this
scope would be combined with the BRT project 90% and 100% deliverables.
TASK 6 – STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE SERVICES
Sub-Task 6.1 Structural Design Services
The following structural design services will be performed by subconsultant Biggs
Cardosa:
General Scope of Work

portions not legible. Since the proposed pedestrian bridge will likely be
connected to the roof of the existing parking structure, understanding and
having all available information is critical to the project.
Since better as-built drawings and post tension stand layout record drawings
are likely not available, an extended site visit including non -destructive test
(NDT) will be performed. During the site visit, information on structure
member sizes and locations would be recorded. NDT would be utilized to
locate and map post tension stands and reinforcing in the structure roof,
floors and walls.
Sub-Task 6.2 Pedestrian Enrichments
Subconsultant PIVOT will work with the City to refine various concepts, meet with FAX
and others at the City, in order to solicit their input on the various concepts.
Pedestrian modifications include revisions to the street -side railing and the installation

year set up of software and an ongoing maintenance agreement with Sherpa Government Solutions
LLC of Denver, Colorado - Finance Department
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council award a requirements contract for the acquisition of budget
software in the amount of $488,143 for a one (1)year initial set-up with an ongoing maintenance
service agreement and authorizes the City Manager or his designee to sign the contract on behalf of
the City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Budget and Management Studies Division of the Finance Department initiated a request for
proposal (RFP) for the acquisition of new budget development and preparation software in order to
replace the City’s current system (BRASS). The need for replacing BRASS is due to its inability to
function properly with the processing architecture of Microsoft’s Windows 7 and above. This issue
has established BRASS as an obsolete and unreliable tool to complete the City’s complex budget
process with critical deadlines. Four proposals were received and evaluated and Sherpa
Government Solutions LLC was chosen as the most responsive and responsible bidder.
BACKGROUND
The need to replace the City’s BRASS system is due to its inability to function with the processing
architecture of Microsoft’s Windows 7 and above.The proprietor of BRASS offers web-based

architecture of Microsoft’s Windows 7 and above.The proprietor of BRASS offers web-based
software as a means to address the BRASS issue with Windows 7 and submitted a proposal for this
RFP.Therefore,BRASS enhancements are not made available to continue connectivity with
supporting applications that incorporate technology advancements.
The RFP was advertised in the Business Journal on Wednesday,March 19,2014.The number of
building exchanges received regarding fax notice inviting proposals was five,while the number of
specifications distributed to prospective proposers was 17.The public opening occurred on
Thursday,May 1,2014.A total of four proposals were received and opened.Proposals will expire
within 120 days of proposal opening which corresponds to Friday, August 29, 2014.
The four companies that submitted proposals were Application Software Technology Corporation,
CGI Technologies and Solutions Inc.,GNC Consulting Inc.,and Sherpa Government Solutions LLC.
The RFP No.9267 required each proposer to provide:1)cover letter;2)Proposal Deposit;3)fixed-
cost proposal;4)proposer questionnaire;5)statement of qualifications and experience;6)
references;7)acceptance signature of City forms;8)signature for all Addenda issuances;9)
organizational chart;10)signature pages authorizing individual who signs proposal;and 11)
completion of scope of work requirements.
An Evaluation Committee of five City staff members and one external member were established to
review the four proposals as well as participate in four software demonstrations provided by each
respective vendor.In addition,the Evaluation Committee developed a list of questions per review of
submitted proposals as well as per demonstrations.These questions were submitted to respective
vendors which provided responses by requested date.The responses were incorporated into the
committee’s determination to formalize a recommendation.
Of the four proposals received and reviewed,the Evaluation Committee determined that the proposal
submitted by Sherpa Government Solutions LLC (Sherpa)as most responsive and provided the best
value for the City.The recommendation to acquire Sherpa’s Budget Formulation and Management
(BFM)software and services is due to:1)their proposal meets all the criteria as specified in RFP No.
9267;2)their BFM software meets,in totality,the RFP’s scope of work as well as exceeds current
functionality of BRASS;3)project team has extensive experience towards BRASS data and reporting
conversions along with budgeting processes;4)proposal includes their establishment of all BRASS
reports in the new system;5)proposal includes the conversion of all 15 BRASS databases;6)project
team members will provide the ongoing support;and 7)BFM includes budget book-building
functionality within base price.A report from the evaluation committee is attached along with a
proposal matrix summary.
The RFP requested a fixed price for new software,conversion and implementation to new system,
staff training,ongoing support and first five years of annual maintenance.Sherpa’s proposal included
a fixed price of $488,143.The fixed cost proposal under year 1 is $341,213 for software acquisition,
conversion and implementation,training,and first year of annual maintenance.The remainder of
$146,930 corresponds to annual maintenance services for year 2 through year 5.The funding
source to cover the acquisition and service costs was established and approved as part of the FY
2015 Adopted Budget.Once the project commences,an evaluation will be conducted by vendor and
staff to determine if the City’s current hardware inventory can accommodate the new software’s
requirements.Preliminary assessment of additional hardware (servers)needed to run the BFM
software is estimated between $7,200 and $29,500.The project’s budget is at a level to cover such

BACKGROUND:
The goal of this Request for Proposal (RFP) was to solicit proposals to replace the City of
Fresno’s current budget software. The need to replace the City’s current software (BRASS) is
due to its inability to function with the processing architecture of Microsoft’s Windows 7 and
above. The new software will: 1) function with operating systems supported by Microsoft; 2)
provide required functionality to complete and enhance the budget process; and 3) provide web
based accessibility to the new system. Seventeen proposals were sent out. Four responses
were received and opened on May 1, 2014. In addition to acquiring a new budget system,
services requested under the RFP consist of conversion of the City’s existing data held in
BRASS, configuration and installation of new software system, training for City staff, as well as
providing ongoing support. The RFP will be fixed, with an initial purchase price and ongoing
maintenance support costs over the next five (5) years. Per RFP instructions, submitted
proposals included cost for proposed software, associated services, and maintenance support
in year one. It was also requested that proposers’ submit annual maintenance costs for years
two through five. This proposal would be for one (1) year with ongoing maintenance.
Evaluation by Committee:
Application Software Technology Corporation (AST)
SUBMITTED PROPOSAL:$1,717,502.51
AST Corporation of Naperville, IL submitted the highest bid proposal in the amount of
$1,717,502.51 based on a bundle of products: 1) Hyperion Planning Plus; 2) Oracle Hyperion
Public Sector Planning and Budgeting; 3) Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management
Enterprise Edition; and 4) Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management Adapter Suite. AST met
requirements of the RFP. Their proposal would provide much of the functionally that was
defined in the RFP. However, it would require the need for a certain level of customization at
additional cost, such as replicating City’s current budget canned and ad hoc reports. Additional
cost is also anticipated for the conversion of budget data not included in proposal. The proposal
included data conversion for six years while the City has 15 years of data in the current budget
system. Additionally, AST staff indicated that modifications would be needed in order to allow
Hyperion to interface with the versions of the PeopleSoft Financial and Human Resources
system (PeopleSoft) that the City currently uses. There is no guarantee that future versions of
Hyperion would work with the City’s PeopleSoft system.
AST has experience with relational databases as utilized by the City’s current budget software;
however, AST did not have hands-on experience with converting data from a BRASS database.
Proposal includes licenses for 60 users; future additional licenses would need to be purchased
at an additional cost. Once Hyperion was installed, Oracle would provide primary ongoing
software support, while AST would provide secondary support due to its partnering status with

Oracle.AST submitted references were contacted but no responses were received. The
submitted financial information was reviewed.
CGI Technologies and Solutions Inc.
SUBMITTED PROPOSAL:$1,626,130.00
CGI Technologies (CGI) with a branch office in Los Angeles, Ca. submitted the second highest
proposal in the amount of $1,626,130.00. Exceptions were identified in submitted proposal
during initial review; however, the committee continued the evaluation of proposed software and
services to understand the potential value for the City. A process was in place to address
exceptions if the committee concluded that the proposal was found to provide the greatest value
of submitted proposals.CGI is the proprietor of the BRASS software and has extensive
experience with BRASS architecture.
CGI proposed the Advantage Performance Budgeting (APB) system. The committee
determined that APB would meet many of the functionality requirements defined in the RFP.
However, functionality to create a budget book from APB would be an additional cost to the
base price quoted. APB provides a significant number of reports; however, a certain level of
customization is needed to replicate current BRASS reports. Conversion of all primary data was
included in the submitted proposal. It was communicated that budget request data was not
included in the proposal. CGI would issue a site license if the City chose to purchase ABP,
which means there would be no cost to the City to add additional users to the system above the
initial 60 that were defined in the RFP. As an existing client with an active maintenance
agreement, the price of proposed software was excluded from the submitted fixed cost price.
CGI submitted references were contacted and responses were received. The submitted
financial information was reviewed.
GNC Consulting, Inc.
SUBMITTED PROPOSAL:$878,700.00
GNC Consulting of Frankfort, IL had the second lowest cost proposal at $878,700.00. GNC’s
proposal is based on partnerships with Mythics (an Oracle product reseller) and Mo ’Mix
Solutions (subcontractor & Oracle Gold Partner). Exceptions were identified in submitted
proposal during initial review; however, the committee continued the evaluation of proposed
software and services to understand the potential value for the City. A process was in place to
address exceptions if the committee concluded that the proposal was found to provide the
greatest value of submitted proposals.
GNC proposed the Hyperion suite of budget products offered by Oracle. GNC has experience
with relational databases as utilized by the City’s current budget software; however, GNC did
not have hands-on experience with converting data from a BRASS database. The proposal
included data conversion for six years while the City has 15 years of data in the current budget
system. Proposal includes licenses for 60 users; future additional licenses would need to be
purchased at a cost. Once implementation was complete, Oracle would provide primary ongoing
software support, while GNC would provide secondary support due to its partnering status with
Oracle. GNC submitted references where contacted and all responded. The submitted financial
information was reviewed.

Sherpa Government Solutions, LLC
SUBMITTED PROPOSAL:$488,143.00
Sherpa of Denver, CO had the lowest cost proposal at $488,143.00. Sherpa proposed installing
Budget Formulation and Management (BFM), a proprietary software developed by Sherpa. The
Committee was impressed with the experience and qualifications of Sherpa. Sherpa met all
requirements of the RFP, meaning no exceptions were found regarding the submission of
documents and/or requested signatures per RFP checklist. BFM was found to address all
functional needs of the City in order to complete and enhance the City’s budget process and
deliverables. The project team was found to have an extensive background with converting
BRASS databases as well as interfacing between budget, financial, and human resource
systems. Sherpa’s proposal also included the conversion of the City’s 15 years of budget data.
Sherpa’s proposal included budget book-building functionality within the base price. Sherpa
would grant a site license to the City, which would allow the City to add users at no additional
cost in the future.
Sherpa was found to be the most responsive due to: 1) proposal meets all the criteria as
specified in the RFP; 2) the proposed software meets, in totality, the RFP’s scope of work as
well as exceeds current functionality of BRASS; 3) project team has extensive experience
towards BRASS data and reporting conversions along with budgeting processes; 4) proposal
includes the establishment of current BRASS reports in the new system; 5) proposal includes
the conversion of all 15 years of current budget data; and 6) project team members will
provide the ongoing support. The submitted references were contacted and all responded. The
submitted financial information was reviewed.

RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference – September 3 - 5, Los Angeles
The League’s 2014 Annual Conference is scheduled for September 3 - 5 in Los Angeles. An
important part of the Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting (at the General
Assembly), scheduled for noon on Friday, September 5, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. At
this meeting, the League membership considers and takes action on resolutions that establish
League policy.
In order to vote at the Annual Business Meeting, your city council must designate a voting
delegate. Your city may also appoint up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote
in the event that the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity.
Please complete the attached Voting Delegate form and return it to the League’s office
no later than Friday, August 15, 2014. This will allow us time to establish voting
delegate/alternate records prior to the conference.
Please note the following procedures that are intended to ensure the integrity of the voting
process at the Annual Business Meeting.
• Action by Council Required. Consistent with League bylaws, a city’s voting delegate
and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. When completing the
attached Voting Delegate form, please attach either a copy of the council resolution that
reflects the council action taken, or have your city clerk or mayor sign the form affirming
that the names provided are those selected by the city council. Please note that
designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and
cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
• Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be
registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they
may register for Friday only. To register for the conference, please go to our website:
www.cacities.org. In order to cast a vote, at least one voter must be present at the

the voting card will sit in a separate area. Admission to this area will be limited to those
individuals with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate
or alternate. If the voting delegate and alternates wish to sit together, they must sign in at
the Voting Delegate Desk and obtain the special sticker on their badges.

Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, September 3, 9:00 a.m. –
5:30 p.m.; Thursday, September 4, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.; and Friday, September 5, 7:30–10:00

SECTION 3. The following constitutes the synopsis of the measure to be voted on for

MEASURE TO BE VOTED ON
CITY OF FRESNO'S FOUR YEAR WATER RATE PLAN
This measure repeals the Four Year Water Rate Plan
adopted by City Council on August 15,2013, after a majority
protest hearing, following 45 days mailed notice, to which
less than 0.4 % of the City's water customers protested the
rates. The Rate Plan is based on a study of the City's water
system plans, future planned capital improvement projects,
and projected systems operations and maintenance by an
independent rate-making consultant. The repeal of
Resolution Nos. 2013-143 and 2013-144 that established the
Four Year Water Rate Plan will return the water rates to
those in effect prior to its adoption, thereby reducing funding
to maintain and improve the City's water utility to address
drought, groundwater quality and supply problems, and other
costs. The measure does not limit the City Council's power
to set new rates in the future.
SECTION 4. The full text of the ordinance to be submitted to the voters is attached as

INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO TIIE VOTERS
The City Attorney has prepared the following title and summary of the chief purpose and points of the proposed measure:
Title: INITIATIVE MEASURE TO REPEAL CITY OF FRESNO'S FOUR-YEAR WATER RATE PLAN
AND RELATED \ryATER FEES
Summary: A "yes" vote on this measure would repeal rvater rates to be charged over four years that the
Fresno City Council adopted on August 15, 2013, and cause the rates.to return to what the Council adopted in
2008. The City Council adopted the 2013 water rates to pay for increased costs to provide adequate water that
is safe to drink. The increased costs are caused by changes in state and federal drinking water standards,
depletion of ground water, costs of maintenance and repairs to old water pipes and other parts of the water
system, and the necessity to build a surface water treatment plant. If the current rates are repealed, the City
Council could impose higher rates again. However, it would delay the City's work to repair and improve the
water system.
TO TIIE HONORABLE CLERK OF THE CITY OF FRESNO:
We, the undersigned, registered, qualified voters of California, residents of the City of Fresno, hereby
propose an ordinance relating to water rates, and petition you to immediately submit this initiative to the City
Council for adoption without alteration, or in the alternative, for submission to the voters of the City of Fresno
at a special election pursuant to Elections Code section 9214, or the jurisdiction's next regular election for
which it qualifies. The proposed ordinance reads as follows:
The people of the City of Fresno do ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FII\DINGS
A. The City of Fresno conducted a Proposition 218
process for increasing water rates charged to City and
County residents who receive City water services. The
process was flawed in that the materials provided by
the City did not adequately inform all ratepayers of
the actual impact of the increased rates and involved a
burdensome procedure that had the effect of denying
all ratepayers a reasonable opportunity to protest.
B. The new increased water rates schedule includes
perplexing and irrational calculations based on a
combination of how water is used, standby charge,
pipe size and water meter volume.
C. The revenue from the new increased water rates is
set to pay for over $410 million in new projects and
will cause the City to borrow of over $320 million -
more than doubling the debt the City owes for the
current water system.
D. A big part of this rate increase is for the payment of
the nerv debt, causing the ratepayer's water bill to
nearly triple by the middle of 2016.
E. Over two-thirds of the cost of the new projects is
on the City's southeast side where the City's Draft
2035 General Plan calls for urbanization of prime
agricultural land within 20 years. Apparently this
water rate increase scheme is designed to allow the
City to signifTcantly expand its boundaries and
promote urban sprawl.
F. Virtually all residents are concerned about assuring
that we have a healthy and reliable water supply and
have supported efforts to provide it. However, any
increases in water rates must be reasonably based on
actual costs to achieve such a goal, and requiring
current ratepayers to foot the bill to benefit future
urban development that exceeds the actual cost of
providing current service is unreasonable and
burdensome to the current ratepayers. Also, they
expect that the City will not punish them for a
reasonable use of water to maintain the needs of their
businesses, families and their landscapes.
SECTION 2. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The voters of the City of Fresno desire to repeal
the recent water rate increase in accordance with
Section 3 of Article XIII C of the Constitution of the
State of California. Further, the people of the City of
Fresno, and on behalf of ratepayers outside of the City
who receive their water services from the City, desire
that the City repeal these unsound and unfair rates,
and call on the City to undertake a new, sincere and
comprehensive look at adopting water rates that
reflect the City's legitimate costs of providing water
service without creating huge new debt obligations
and subsidizing future development and other non-
water related City endeavors.
Any future rate setting process should respect
the participation of all ratepayers by (a) providing
INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE VOTERS
impartial, accurate information regarding the impact
ofthe proposed new rates; (b) providing all ratepayers
a reasonable opportunity to participate and does not
have the affect of suppressing ratepayer/voter
involvement; (c) respecting the rights of all non-City
residents of Fresno County who have no
representation in the rate-setting process; (d) be
cognizant of the impact of any rate increase on
businesses and families, particularly to the large
number of fixed and low income households in this
community; and (e) adopting rates that are rational
and justified by the City's operational costs related to
delivery of water services, and infrastructure
maintenance and improvement needs.
SECTION 3. REPEAL \ryATER RATE INCREASES
In accordance with Section 3 of Article XIII C of the
Constitution of the State of California, the People of
the City of Fresno hereby repeal the water rates
adopted by the City Council on August 15,2013:
A. Resolution number 2013-143 is hereby repealed.
The full text of Resolution 2013-143 is attached.
B. Resolution number 2013-L44 is hereby repealed.
The full text of Resolution 2013-144 is attached.
Notice of Intent to Circulate Petition
Notice is hereby given by the persons whose names appear hereon of their intention to circulate the petition
within the Cify of Fresno for the purpose of repealing recent water rate increases. A statement of the reasons of
the proposed action as contemplated in the petition is as follows:
On August 15,2013, the Fresno City Council passed, with the Mayor agreeing, a series of water rate
increases that will take effect each year for the next 3 years that are outrageously high and punitive to most
households and businesses that are connected to Fresnots water system. For example, one rate will rise over
4500Á.
On June 27r20l3,the Council authorized Proposition 218 protest notices be mailed, declaring the new
proposed rate increases, only to property owners and not tenant ratepayers. In the City of Fresno this
clearly eliminated a significant number of ratepayer customers from the Proposition 218 notice and protest
process.
Besides faiting to provide a meaningful opportunity for expression of protest by the elimination of the
tenant notice the process was additionally flawed because it also relied on inaccurate data, minimized the
scope ofrate increases, and adopted rates that are confusing and irrational and obviously structured to
justiff further indebting the City, in part, to bankroll urban sprawl.
The newwater rates do not reflect the needs and resources ofratepayers and far exceed the rates
necessary to cover the City's costs of providing water service and maintaining infrastructure.
Increasing the per capita debt for the City's water system by more than double is risþ and foolhardy
during these uncertain times. ft creates too big of a burden on any individual utility customer, particularly
in a City that has a large number of households with fixed, low and poverty level incomes.
The people of the City of Fresno, and on behalf of ratepayers outside of the City who receive their water
services from the City, desire that the City repeal these unsound and unfair rates, and call on the City to
undertake a nevy, sincere and comprehensive look at adopting water rates that reflect the City's legitimate
costs of providing water service without creating huge new debt obligations and subsidizing future
development and other non-water related City endeavors.

SUBJECT
10:00 A.M.HEARING to consider formation of Underground Utility District No.FRE-93 on the north
side of Nees Avenue from Maple Avenue to Hayston Avenue (Council District 6)
1.RESOLUTION -Establishing Underground District No.FRE-93 along the north side of Nees
Avenue from Maple Avenue to Hayston Avenue
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council establish an Underground Utility District No.FRE-93 (UUD FRE-93)located on the north side
of Nees Avenue from Maple Avenue to Hayston Avenue.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed UUD FRE-93 is generally located on north side of Nees Avenue from Maple Avenue to Hayston Avenue
alignment as shown on Exhibit “A”of the attached Resolution.Overhead utilities are already undergrounded along the
south side of Nees Avenue and the east side of Maple Avenue.Staff is requesting the adoption of UUD FRE-93 along
Nees Avenue so that the existing overhead utilities will be placed underground along Nees Avenue in conjunction with
the planned road improvement project funded by Measure “C”Tier 1 and Federal Regional Surface Transportation
Program (RSTP)dollars.Underground installation of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)overhead electrical facilities is
funded by the utility company funds set aside pursuant to the Public Utility Commission Rule 20A.
BACKGROUND
On June 12,2014,the Council adopted Resolution No.2014-89,which set today’s public hearing to consider the
formation of UUD FRE-93.
The City proposes to construct an additional westbound travel lane and bike lane along East Nees Avenue between
City of Fresno Printed on 12/15/2022Page 1 of 3

File #:ID#14-128 Agenda Date:7/17/2014 Agenda #:
The City proposes to construct an additional westbound travel lane and bike lane along East Nees Avenue between
North Maple Avenue and North Hayston Avenue alignment.The construction is planned for 2015 and includes
constructing curb,gutter,sidewalk,drive approaches,an ADA ramp and the installation of new streetlights,
underground utility facilities,modification of northwest traffic signal at North Maple Avenue and East Nees Avenue
intersection.The existing overhead utilities are in conflict with the proposed widening project along Nees Avenue west
of Maple Avenue.By undergrounding the existing utilities,the number of trees and the impact to residents will be
reduced.Utility companies may be able to begin construction as early as the first quarter of 2015.The street
construction project is tentatively scheduled to start in the fall of 2015.
Chapter 13,Article 6,of the Fresno Municipal Code,establishes a procedure for the creation of the Underground Utility
District.The initial step requires a public hearing to determine whether public necessity,health,safety or welfare
require the full underground installation of existing overhead wires and associated structures within the proposed
district.All property owners and utility companies in the proposed district were notified by mail of the public hearing in
accordance with provisions of the Code.
Also,the code requires the City to identify all residences that will be required to modify their existing overhead services
to accept underground utility service. At this time, no overhead utility services have been identified.
Underground installation of PG&E overhead electrical facilities is funded by funds set aside pursuant to the California
Public Utility Commission Rule 20A.The Rule 20A specifically identifies funding for undergrounding existing overhead
utilities only. The other utility companies provide the funding to convert their existing overhead facilities to underground.
The formation of the Underground Utility District requires utility companies to convert their existing overhead facilities to
underground service.The formation of the Underground Utility District also requires affected property owners to modify
their existing overhead services to accept utility service from the underground facilities.However,at the discretion of
the City,the City may request Rule 20A funds be utilized to convert each property to underground service.Currently,it
is the policy of the City to utilize Rule 20A funds for the cost of the conversion.
The PG&E cost to place the existing overhead facilities underground within UUD FRE-93 is estimated to be $380,000.
Should the Council not approve the formation of the District,overhead services will continue in the area and the
overhead facilities would remain in place along the north side of Nees Avenue.The pole line on the north side of Nees
Avenue west of Maple Avenue would have to be relocated or moved to the proposed right-of-way.This will impact not
only the limits of the demolition for the proposed road widening,but it will have significant impact to the residents within
the limits of the district.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Environmental Assessment Application No.EA-12-018 was filed by City of Fresno Public Works Department Capital
Management Section.The City proposes to construct an additional westbound travel lane and bike lane along Nees
Avenue between Maple and Hayston Avenues.On October 24,2013,the City of Fresno,as the lead agency,approved
the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for Environmental Assessment No.EA-12-018.This Mitigated Negative
Declaration considered and evaluated the potential effects associated with the proposed street improvements.
Subsequently Staff determined that an addendum to Environmental Assessment No.EA-12-018 would be appropriate
to specifically list the utility undergrounding in the project description.An addendum,rather than a new EA,is
appropriate given that none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for preparation
of a subsequent negative declaration have occurred and new information added is only for the purposes of providing
minor changes or additions, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA.
Since the Staff proposed project will not result in additional impacts because the project area has not changed and
because fewer trees will be impacted,it may be determined that;(1)the project falls within the scope of Environmental
Assessment No.EA-12-018;(2)No substantial changes are proposed in the project which require major revisions to
the previous environmental finding due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;(3)No substantial changes will occur with respect to
the circumstances under which the project is undertaken;and (4)No new information,which was not known and could
not have been known,at the time the environmental finding for Environmental Assessment No.EA-12-018 was
adopted, has become available.

LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was net considered because the actions pertaining to the formation of an Underground Utility District
does not include a bid or award for construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
This $380,000 Rule 20A undergrounding project in Council District 6 will have no impact to the City’s General Fund.

pursuant to the California Public Utility Commission Rule 20A.The other utility companies provide the funding to
convert their existing overhead facilities to underground.

Tax, no Special Tax shall be levied on parcels that have been conveyed to a public
agency, except as otherwise provided in City Law. In addition, no Special Tax shall be
levied on excluded parcels or parcels that are determined not to be developable lots.

File #:ID#14-108 Agenda Date:7/17/2014 Agenda #:
Jeffrey T. Roberts, on behalf of Granville Homes, Inc., has filed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
6033/UGM and Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-13-092 pertaining to approximately
31.87acres of property located on the northeast corner of North Fowler and East Clinton Avenues.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 6033/UGM proposes to subdivide the property into a 169-unit single
family residential subdivision. Conditional Use Permit No. C-13-092 proposes a development with
public streets and modified property development standards for all of the proposed lots.
This project was considered by the Fresno City Planning Commission at its regular meeting on April
16,2014.The conditions of approval at that time allowed for modified property development
standards including lot size,lot coverage and yard (setback)requirements.Thirty five lots were
proposed with 7-foot garage setbacks,however the conditions of approval required a minimum of 18-
foot garage setbacks for all lots,consistent with the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC).Specifically,the
FMC requires a minimum garage setback of 20 feet which can be reduced to 18 feet dependent upon
the style of garage door.The Planning Commission approved staff’s recommendation,which
required an 18-foot garage setback on all public streets for this project.The option was also provided
to make the streets private,thus allowing garage setbacks of less than 18 feet,however this option
was not chosen by the applicant.
On June 19,2014,an appeal of the Commission’s decision regarding the subject applications was
filed by Councilmember Caprioglio.In response to the appeal,the Planning Commission’s action is
set aside and a City Council public hearing is scheduled and noticed in accordance with the Sections
12-401-B and 12-401-C-2 of the FMC.Staff recommends denial of the appeal and approval of the
project consistent with the Planning Commission action on April 16,2014.Staff also supports
approval of garage setbacks less than 18 feet on private streets governed by a homeowner’s
association.

Fresno City Planning Commission Action
This project was considered by the Fresno City Planning Commission at its regular meeting on April 16,2014.The
conditions of approval at that time allowed for modified property development standards including 15-foot rear yards
(standard rear yard is 20 feet),3-foot interior side yards (standard is 5 feet),and 8-foot street side yards (standard is 10
feet).Thirty five lots were proposed with 7-foot garage and building front setbacks,however the conditions of approval
required a minimum of 18-foot garage setbacks.
The Fresno Municipal Code requires a minimum garage setback of 20 feet which can be reduced to 18 feet dependent
upon the style of garage door.Staff recommends an 18-foot setback on all public streets for this project but is supportive
of garage setbacks of less than 18 feet on private streets governed by a homeowners association.The homeowners
association would be responsible for liability and enforcement on private streets.
After a complete hearing on April 16,2014,the Commission recommended approval of the subject applications and the
conditions of approval proposed by staff,requiring a minimum 18 foot setback from garage to back of sidewalk on public
streets. The applicant did not object to the 18-foot garage setback at the Planning Commission hearing.
Analysis of Appeal
The applicant is proposing to develop single-family residences with reduced yards and,specifically,on thirty-five lots,a
minimum of 7 foot front yards,3 foot side yards and 10 foot rear yards.The typical yards within the R-1 (Single Family
Residential District)zone district are a 15 foot front yard,5 foot side yard and 20 foot rear yard.The Fresno Municipal
Code requires a minimum garage setback of 20 feet which can be reduced to 18 feet dependent upon the style of garage
door.Staff recommends an 18-foot garage setback on all public streets for this project but is supportive of garage
setbacks of less than 18 feet on private streets governed by a homeowners association.The homeowners association

File #:ID#14-108 Agenda Date:7/17/2014 Agenda #:
setbacks of less than 18 feet on private streets governed by a homeowners association.The homeowners association
would be responsible for liability and enforcement on private streets.
The applicant has provided a conditional use permit exhibit (Exhibit A-2)which depicts six typical lots showing lot
dimensions,minimum yard setbacks and potential house placement.Of the six typical lots,only one shows garages with
an 18 foot setback to sidewalk,while the remaining five show garages with a 7’-8’setback to sidewalk.Below,the five
typical lots with a proposed 7’-8’setback from garage to sidewalk are shown.The rear yard setbacks for the housing
product proposed are currently at 25’,24’,20’and 14’.Should the applicant be required to provide an 18 foot setback
from garage to sidewalk,it will necessitate moving the houses 10 feet to the rear,which will result in rear yard setbacks of
15’,14’,10’and 4’,respectively,if the applicant elects to use the same floor plans (these are the same floor plans and lot
sizes approved for T-6045,Copper River and it would seem appropriate to use different products for different
subdivisions).Redesigning the floor plans would allow accommodation of an 18-foot garage setback and conservation of
more rear yard space if that were the goal.
Pursuant to the conditions of approval for this project,which reference section 12-207.5.E.1 of the FMC regarding
setbacks for a garage,staff has required a minimum 18 foot setback from garage to back of sidewalk,for the following
reasons:
·To provide enough room for a vehicle to park in the driveway without blocking the sidewalk in violation of the
California Building Code and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA);vehicles parked on the sidewalk would force
pedestrians to walk in the street.
·To provide adequate visibility to the driver in order to avoid a conflict with a pedestrian using the sidewalk.
·In order to make the findings required for a Conditional Use Permit and a Tentative Map
o Conditional Use Permit Finding #3:The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to property or improvements in the area in which the property is located.
o Tentative Map Finding #4:The proposed subdivision design and improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health and safety problems,because the conditions of approval have shown and will
insure that the subdivision conforms with city health and safety standards.
Below are the arguments of the applicant as to why this appeal should be considered, along with staff responses:
1.There is a long history of approvals for shorter driveway lengths (less than 18 feet)as these are regularly used on
private residential streets in the City of Fresno. It has been a common practice for over 20 years.
Response:Staff is supportive of garage setbacks of less than 18 feet on private streets,as a homeowners
association would enforce any necessary parking provisions and assume liability for any accidents or injury that
occurred on subdivision property.However on public streets,the city does not have the staff to enforce parking
provisions on residential streets, nor does it wish to assume liability for potential accident or injury.
2.There are numerous examples in the City of Fresno of driveways shorter than 18’with access to public streets.
These are typically found in established neighborhoods, yet some are located in newer, growing areas.
Response: no evidence (examples) have been submitted for staff evaluation
3.There is no documentation of health and safety concerns/accidents/etc.as a result of having shorter driveways in
the City of Fresno.Additionally,shorter driveways,as allowed on private streets,are approved without any
concern for any supposed health and safety risk.
Response:again,no evidence (examples)have been submitted for staff evaluation.However,it can be clearly
demonstrated that garage setbacks of 7-8 feet do not allow the driver backing out of the garage any visibility to
the sidewalk when backing out;thus the vehicle is already in the sidewalk before the driver can see the sidewalk
area.Public Works standards include a visibility triangle for driveways,and garage setbacks of 7-8 feet violate
this standard.

Streets and Access Points
The Public Works Department,Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed project and potential traffic related
impacts for the proposed applications and has determined that the streets adjacent to and near the subject site will be
able to accommodate the quantity and kind of traffic which may be potentially generated subject to the requirements
stipulated within the memoranda from the Traffic Engineering Division dated April 10,2014.These requirements
generally include:(1)The provision of a minimum two points of vehicular access to major streets for any phase of the
development;(2)Street improvements,(including,but not limited to,construction of concrete curbs,gutters,pavement,
underground street lighting systems;and,(3)Payment of applicable impact fees (including,but not limited to,the Traffic
Signal Mitigation Impact (TSMI) Fee, and the Fresno Major Street Impact (FMSI) Fee.
Notice of City Council Meeting
The Development and Resource Management Department mailed notices of this City Council hearing to surrounding
property owners within 500 feet of the subject property.
Land Use Plan and Policies
The subject site is designated for medium density residential planned land uses by the 2025 Fresno General Plan and
the McLane Community Plan.
The objectives and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan encourage the development of master planned communities
in an attempt to maximize the efficient use of the land. Policy C-8-g states: Support the planning and development of
master planned/mixed use communities such as the Dominion Project.
Additionally, Objective C-10 states: Promote the development of more compact pedestrian friendly, single-family
residential projects to aid in the conservation of resources such as land, energy, and materials.
Conditional Use Permit Application Findings (Planned Development)
Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-13-092 proposes the development of a 169-lot single family residential planned
development. The planned development will provide modified property development standards. Based upon analysis of
the conditional use permit application and subject to the applicant’s compliance with the Conditions of Approval dated
April 16, 2014, staff concludes that the following required findings of Section 12-405-A-2 of the Fresno Municipal Code
can be made.
1.All applicable provisions of this Code are complied with and the site of the proposed use is adequate in size and
shape to accommodate said use,and accommodate all yards,spaces,walls and fences,parking,loading,
recycling areas, landscaping, and other required features; and,
Conditional Use Permit Application No.C-13-092 will comply with all applicable codes,including,landscaping,
walls, etc., given that the special conditions of project approval will ensure that all conditions are met.
2.The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the
quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use; and,
The Public Works,Traffic Engineering Division reviewed the proposed project and assessed the adjacent streets
City of Fresno Printed on 12/15/2022Page 5 of 7
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-108 Agenda Date:7/17/2014 Agenda #:
to ensure that the proposal would not have significant impacts on traffic and the surrounding community.
3.The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the area
in which the property is located.The third finding shall not apply to uses which are subject to the provision of
Section 12-306-N-30 of the FMC.
The site is vacant and with the adoption of the 2025 Fresno General Plan,the city analyzed the impacts of converting
vacant land into urban uses and determined that it is necessary to convert land within the sphere of influence in an
attempt to provide housing,growth,employment opportunities,etc.The Development and Resource Management
Department has determined that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public welfare or be injurious to property
or improvements in the area in which the property is located if developed in accordance with the various
conditions/requirements established through the related vesting tentative tract map application review and conditional use
permit application review processes.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map Findings
The Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code §§66400,et seq.)requires that a proposed subdivision not be
approved unless the map,together with its design and improvements,is found to be consistent with the General Plan and
any applicable specific plan (Finding No. 1 below).
State law further provides that the proposed subdivision map be denied if any one of the Finding Nos.2 -5 below is made
in the negative.In addition,State law requires that a subdivision be found to provide for future passive and natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision development (Finding No. 6 below).
1.The proposed subdivision map,together with its design and improvements,is consistent with the City's 2025
General Plan and the McLane Community Plan,because the plans designate the site for medium density
residential planned land uses and the project design meets the density and zoning ordinance criteria for
development.
2.This site is physically suitable for the proposed type and density of development,because conditions of approval
will ensure adequate access and drainage on and off the site;and,that development shall occur in accordance
with adopted standards, goals, objectives, and policies for development in the City of Fresno.
3.The proposed subdivision design and improvement is not likely to cause substantial and considerable damage to
the natural environment,including fish,wildlife or their habitat,because the area is not known to contain any
unique or endangered species and the urbanized nature of the area in which the site is located.
4.The proposed subdivision design and improvements are not likely to cause serious public health and safety
problems,because the conditions of approval have shown and will insure that the subdivision conforms with city
health and safety standards.
5.The proposed subdivision design will not conflict with public easements within or through the site,because
conditions of approval will assure noninterference with any existing or proposed public easements.
6.The design of the subdivision provides,to the extent feasible,for future passive and natural heating or cooling
opportunities in the subdivision,because of the appropriate use and placement of landscaping plant materials
and because of the orientation of the proposed lots.
The subdivision map,based on the required findings for approval and subject to the recommended conditions of
approval,and the standards and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and McLane Community Plan,complies with
applicable zoning and subdivision requirements.Based upon the plans and information submitted by the applicant and
the recommended conditions of project approval, staff has determined that these findings can be made.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
An environmental assessment initial study was prepared for this project in accordance with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines.This process included the distribution of requests for comment
City of Fresno Printed on 12/15/2022Page 6 of 7
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-108 Agenda Date:7/17/2014 Agenda #:
from other responsible or affected agencies and interested organizations.
Preparation of the environmental assessment necessitated a thorough review of the proposed project and relevant
environmental issues and considered previously prepared environmental and technical studies pertinent to the McLane
Community Plan area,including the Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR)No.10130 for the 2025 Fresno General
Plan (SCH#2001071097)and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)No.A-09-02 (SCH#2009051016).These
environmental and technical studies have examined projected sewage generation rates of planned urban uses,the
capacity of existing sanitary sewer collection and treatment facilities,and optimum alternatives for increasing capacities;
groundwater aquifer resource conditions;water supply production and distribution system capacities;traffic carrying
capacity of the planned major street system;and student generation projections and school facility site location
identification.
The proposed amendment of the adopted 2025 Fresno General Plan has been determined to not be fully within the scope
of MEIR No.10130 as provided by the CEQA,as codified in the Public Resources Code (PRC)Section 21157.1(d)and
the CEQA Guidelines Section 15177(c).It has been further determined that all applicable mitigation measures of MEIR
No.10130 and MND No.A-09-02 have been applied to the project,together with project specific mitigation measures
necessary to assure that the project will not cause significant adverse cumulative impacts,growth inducing impacts and
irreversible significant effects beyond those identified by MEIR No.10130 or MND No.A-09-02 as provided by CEQA
Section 15178(a).In addition,pursuant to Public Resources Code,Section 21157.6(b)(1),staff has determined that no
substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the MEIR was certified and that no
new information,which was not known and could not have been known at the time that the MEIR was certified as
complete,has become available.Therefore,it has been determined based upon the evidence in the record that the
project will not have a significant impact on the environment and that the filing of a mitigated negative declaration is
appropriate in accordance with the provisions of CEQA Section 21157.5(a)(2)and CEQA Guidelines Section 15178(b)(1)
and (2).
Based upon the attached environmental assessment and the list of identified mitigation measures,staff has determined
that there is no evidence in the record that the project may have a significant effect on the environment and has prepared
a draft mitigated negative declaration for this project.A public notice of the attached mitigated negative declaration
finding for Environmental Assessment Application No.A-11-003/R-11-003/C-13-092/T-6033/UGM was published on
March 21, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT
Affirmative action by the Council will result in timely deliverance of the review and processing of the application as is
