REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
August 28, 2014
FROM:KERRI L. DONIS, Fire Chief
Fire Department
BY:THEODORE F. SEMONIOUS, Deputy Chief
Fire Department
SUBJECT
Approve Automatic and Mutual Aid agreements between the City of Fresno, Fresno County Fire
Protection District, California Department of Forestry, and Fire Protection Fresno-Kings Unit
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Automatic and Mutual Aid agreements between the
City of Fresno,Fresno County Fire Protection District,California Department of Forestry,and Fire
Protection Fresno-Kings Unit.The approval of these agreements is contingent upon the completion
of the meet and confer process between the City of Fresno and International Association of Fire
Fighters Local 753.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of the recommended action will assist in maintaining effective readiness.These
agreements are mutually beneficial to both agencies and the community in that they provide for the
closest resource to be dispatched to an emergency scene regardless of jurisdiction.
BACKGROUND
In 1974,the City of Fresno and then Mid-Valley Fire Protection District (now known as Fresno County
Fire Protection District)signed the first automatic aid agreement to provide the closest fire resource
to emergencies based on proximity to the event regardless of jurisdiction.This agreement had the
effect of providing emergency responders to the jurisdictional border areas in a more efficient
manner.Since that time,there have been several automatic and mutual aid agreements signed
between the City of Fresno and the Fresno County Fire Protection District.
The most recent agreement was signed in 2003 and included an area bound by First Street to the
west,Temperance Avenue to the east,Dakota Avenue to the north,and California Avenue to the
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 3

File #:ID#14-174 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
west,Temperance Avenue to the east,Dakota Avenue to the north,and California Avenue to the
south.Within these boundaries are several County islands that are currently protected by the City of
Fresno Fire Department.Disagreements between the parties over payment for automatic aid
resulted in locations outside those boundary areas to be considered mutual aid,which require prior
approval of the requested jurisdiction before a response is initiated.This method of results in longer
response times and is not the best model for service delivery.
In early 2014,with new administrations in place for both agencies,discussions regarding automatic
aid began.The impacts of the current response plans were noted and the deficiencies of not having
an automatic aid agreement in place were quickly recognized.Both parties acknowledged the need
for a renewed automatic aid agreement and quickly agreed to the terms.
Through these discussions came the awareness that there were areas within the City limits along the
San Joaquin River where county and state resources could assist the Fresno Fire Department as
they have specialized equipment for handling wild land and urban interface fires.It was agreed the
area along the river could be better protected through an exchange of equipment and other
resources through a mutual aid agreement.The agreement includes the use of Cal Fire resources,
on behalf of Fresno County Fire Protection District.The Fresno Fire Department will deploy
resources where incidents occur north of the City in areas currently protected by Cal Fire.
The Fresno Fire Department had discussed the Automatic Aid Agreement with representatives of
IAFF 753 before it was first taken to Council in May 2014.The Department believed that the
bargaining unit had no objections to implementation;however,IAFF 753 raised objections when the
item was posted on the Council Agenda.Meetings were subsequently held with IAFF 753 on June
2nd and June 9th.As a result of those meetings,changes were made to the draft Automatic Aid
Agreement at the request of IAFF 753.In addition,a side letter of agreement regarding the
Automatic Aid Agreement was prepared and shared with the Association.
Unfortunately,IAFF 753 has continued to object to the implementation of the Automatic Aid
Agreement despite these efforts.The City of Fresno has been attempting to set another meeting in
an effort to reach agreement on the issues raised by Fire Basic,but has met resistance.A meeting
will be scheduled within the next 30 days.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines,Section 15278,this item
does not qualify as a “project” and is therefore exempt from the CEQA requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT
The reduction of responses may result in a decrease of maintenance costs on apparatus,resulting in
a positive impact to the General Fund.

FROM:GARY WATAHIRA, Purchasing Manager
Finance Department
SUBJECT
Reject all proposals responding to City’s Request for Qualification for Asset Management Services
for Management of City Real Estate Assets - Bid File 060614 (Citywide)
RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager’s Office recommends the City Council reject all proposals received for asset
management services for management of City real estate assets.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Manager’s Office solicited and received proposals in June 2014 for asset management
services for the management of City real estate assets.One response was received.During the bid
evaluation process it was determined that additional responses to the Request for Qualification
(RFQ)would be desirable.It was anticipated that rejecting all bids and reissuing the RFQ with
additional time for potential responders to respond and more widespread distribution would likely
yield additional responses.
BACKGROUND
On March 6,2014,the City Council passed the Asset Management Act (the “Act”),which requires,in
part, that the City retain a qualified brokerage firm to manage City real estate assets.
Pursuant to the Act’s requirements,the City Manager’s Office issued the RFQ seeking to retain the
services of a qualified real estate brokerage firm to assist the City with the overall management of the
City’s real estate assets.The RFQ was advertised as follows:(1)published on the City’s website on
June 6,2014;(2)published in the Business Journal;and (3)distributed to potential proposers.Only
one sealed response was received and opened in a public bid opening on or about July 11, 2014.
During the bid evaluation,it was determined that additional bids would be desirable for the City to
make its best choice.Accordingly,it was decided that rejecting all bids and reissuing the RFQ with
additional time for potential responders to respond and more widespread distribution would likely

RESOLUTION - of Intention to annex Final Tract Map No. 6063, Annexation No. 56, to the
City of Fresno Community Facilities District No. 11 (near south corner of North Friant
Road and East Copper Avenue) (Council District 6)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution of Intention to annex Final Tract Map No.6063 to City of Fresno Community
Facilities District No. 11 (“CFD No. 11”).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The landowner has petitioned the City of Fresno to have Final Tract Map No.6063 annexed to CFD
No.11 to provide funding for the operation and reserves for maintenance (“Services”)pertaining to all
ground level infrastructure within the street rights-of-way of East Carnoustie Avenue;to include
concrete curbs,gutters,and sidewalks,street paving,street signage and street lighting associated
with this subdivision.The cost for the Services for these improvements is $148/lot annually (totaling
$1,480).Final Tract Map No.6063 is located entirely in the Fresno City Limits.The Resolution of
Intention begins the process,sets the required public hearing for October 2,2014,and defines the
steps required to complete the annexation. (See attached location and feature maps.)
BACKGROUND
On November 15,2005,the Council of the City of Fresno adopted Resolution No.2005-490 forming
CFD No.11 to fund public maintenance of landscaping,open spaces,local streets,local street lights
and street furniture,curbs,gutters,sidewalks,street trees and other public facilities and services as
defined by the City of Fresno Special Tax Financing Law,Chapter 8,Division 1,Article 3 of the
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-227 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
Fresno Municipal Code (“City Law”).
The landowner has made a request to the City of Fresno to have Final Tract Map No.6063 annexed
to CFD No.11 to provide funding for the Services pertaining to all ground level infrastructure within
the street rights-of-way of East Carnoustie Avenue;to include concrete curbs,gutters,and sidewalks,
street paving,street signage and street lighting associated with this subdivision.(See attached
location and feature maps.)
Final Tract Map No. 6063 is not a phased map and is located entirely in the Fresno City Limits.
The attached Resolution initiates the annexation process,sets the public hearing on this matter for
October 2,2014,sets the Maximum Special Tax at $148 annually per residential lot (totaling $1,480)
for FY14-15 and sets the annual adjustment of the Special Tax at +3%plus the increase,if any,in the
construction cost index for the San Francisco Region.
Annexations to existing community facilities districts are permitted under City Law.The legislative
body must follow certain prescribed procedures as outlined below:
§Adoption of a Resolution of Intention to Annex to CFD No. 11
§Required 7-day minimum Notice of Public Hearing
§Public hearing on Annexation and Levy of Special Tax
§Call a Special Mailed-Ballot Election on the proposed Special Tax
§Declare the Results of the Election
§Formal Adoption of Special Tax Levy (if election passes)
The attached Resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 this
hearing does not qualify as a “project”and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because this hearing does not include a bid or award of a
construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
No City funds will be involved.All costs for services will be borne by the property owners within the
subject tract.

SUBJECT
BILL NO.B-35 -(For adoption;introduced August 21,2014)Amending the uncodified ordinance to
adopt changes and additions to the official list of designated special speed zones for various streets
within the City of Fresno pursuant to Section 14-1501 of the Fresno Municipal Code (Citywide)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the attached amended Special Speed Zone Ordinance be adopted.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This City Council agenda item is for the purpose of adopting an amended Ordinance to update the
official list of designated special speed zones pursuant to Section 14-1501 of the Fresno Municipal
Code (FMC).The update is to reflect speed changes and additions which are needed due to
development,increased traffic volumes,annexations,locations left off of previous ordinance and
construction of new streets and various locations in the City of Fresno.Engineering and traffic
surveys have been completed for each speed zone listed,in order to determine speed limits which
are “reasonable and safe”as defined in accordance with the requirements of the California Vehicle
Code (CVC).
BACKGROUND
The CVC authorizes local authorities to determine and regulate speed limits on streets under local
jurisdiction,subject to certain requirements.Pursuant to CVC Sections 22357 and 22358,speed
limits may be adopted in five (5)miles per hour (mph)increments ranging from 25 mph to 65 mph,
and must be justified on the basis of engineering and traffic surveys.At the local level,Section 14-
City of Fresno Printed on 12/15/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-233 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
and must be justified on the basis of engineering and traffic surveys.At the local level,Section 14-
1501 of the FMC provides for an Official List of Special Speed Zones to be kept in the form of an
uncodified ordinance.For this reason,it is not necessary to amend the FMC itself each time speed
zones are changed or added.
A comprehensive speed zone ordinance was adopted by Council on February 1,1965,and minor
updates were made on July 26,2005,August 29,2006,September 18,2007,July 22,2008,
September 30,2010,September 22,2011 and March 7,2013.This amendment (or regular update)
is relatively minor in scope.The updated list includes ten (10)previously “unposted”and/or newly
constructed segments of roadway,lowering the speed limit on two (2)segments of roadway,listing
two (2)segments omitted from previous Speed Ordinances and removing one (1)road segment that
no longer exists.Engineering and traffic surveys in compliance with CVC requirements were
completed for each zone listed.
The chart below summarizes the proposed speed limit changes and additions:

Scope of Work
EMG will compile an Assessrnent Report of each facility prepared in a manner consistent
with industry standards, ASTM E 2018 08. Deliverables will include a narrative report for each
building and web-accessible database with a summary report of all buildings identified for
review.
The Facility Condition Assessment for the City of Fresno will consist of the following:
' Present condition and estimated life expectancy of building systems and components.
. Anticipated maintenance and replacement costs for the systems and components.
. ldentification/documentation of condition of physical assets (grounds, facilities,
infrastructure).
' Recommendations for corrections of all deficiencies and cost estimates for corrections.
. Resources needed to routinely maintain operability, sustainability, and value of the
physical assets given their current function.
. Prioritization, categorization, and classification of deficient conditions, corrective actions,
and information concerning building systems and deficiency categories.
The study will serve as a guide for future replacement, repairs, and improvements for the City
of Fresno to keep facilities, grounds, and infrastructure in proper working condition. EMG will
survey and assess all building systems and components to identify deficient conditions and
accurately estimate the cost to correct each deficiency. At project implementation, EMG will
conduct a Kick-off Meeting to introduce team members and present key activities. Within this
meeting we will address the following:
' Availability, condition, and location of existing drawings and documentation.
. Review of available descriptive building information (year built, history, major
renovations).
. lnterview with those familiar with the properties to collect pertinent data (building
problems, operating difficulties, equipment characteristics) for integration into the
assessment.
. Review of the work plan and schedule for the contract with key milestones.
. Confirmation of the final scope of work.
EMG will conduct bi-weekly Progress Meetings to maintain communication with the Project
Team and the City of Fresno. EMG will lead with an agenda focusing on work plan, schedule,
and project needs. This will permit the opportunity to proactively address challenges
encountered so that course adjustments may be made. Each meeting will conclude with task
assignments, schedules, and goals to be met. EMG will provide the City of Fresno with a
weekly written status report that tracks and monitors the progress of the assessments against
the schedule.

General Observation Scope. The field observe(s) will visit the property to assess the general condition of the
building(s) and site improvements, review provided construction documents in order to
become familiar with and be able to comment on the in-place construction systems, life
safety, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and the general built environment.
The field observer will conduct a walk{hrough survey (non-invasive visual) of the
building(s) to observe building systems and components, identify reported physical
deficiencies, and formulate recommendations to remedy the physical deficiencies.o The field observer will interview the property personnel/representative(s) (i.e., the owner
or owner's representative or the individual(s) designated by the Clíent) to inquire about
the subject property's significant historical repairs and replacements and their costs,
level of preventive maintenance exercised, pending repairs and improvements, and
frequency of repairs and replacements.o The field observer will attempt to interview the property's maintenance providers of the
major building systems, such as roofing, HVAC, and the like, in an attempt to gain
greater insight to the historic preventative maintenance, recent capital improvements,
and remaining useful life that may not be obtained othen¡rise. This information will not
be used in lieu of EMG's site assessment, but is anticipated to complement the due
diligence performed by the EMG field observer.o The field observer will develop opinions based on their walkthrough survey, interviews
with the property personnel, relevant maintenance contractors (if arranged by the Client)
and municipal authorities, and experience gained on similar properties assessed. The
field observer may also question others who are knowledgeable of the subject
property's physical condition and operation, or knowledgeable of similar systems to gain
comparative information to use in the assessment of the property.. The field observer may review documents and information provided by the property
personnel that could assist in identifying the subject property's physical improvements,
extent and type of use, and/or help to identify material discrepancies between reported
information and observed conditions. The review of documents submitted is not to opine
on the accuracy of such documents, adequacy of design, or their preparation
methodology or protocol.¡ The field observer will conduct the site assessment and follow-up interviews with the
interests of an equity involvement in the property. The specific interests of the field
observer will be to identify capital repairs and deferred maintenance that can
substantially impact the lmmediate (90 days), Short-term (one-year), and Replacement
Reserves (10 years) operation of the property.. The field observer will nof be providing any information on the condition, operation,
serviceability, or capability of process, manufacturing, or business specific equipment
for facilities that have specific equipment installed. lf there is a requirement to provide
information regarding process and/or manufacturing equipment, then this information
must be identified by adding a specific and separate page to this proposal that identifies
the specific equipment that is to be observed and included in the scope of work.. lt is inherent in the selection of the field observer that some bias will be introduced into
the report based on the technical background of the observer (structural, mechanical,
Page 5 of 13
architectural, etc.). At the Client's discretion, a specific technical expertise may be
requested. This request must be included in the signed contract and may require an
additional fee to accommodate the logistics of scheduling and transportation associated
with the request. The scope of work, regardless of the technical background of the field
observer, is inherently the same for these services.

Analyzing all evaluated systems mentioned above and providing projected installed cost
and savings estimates resulting from each improvement recommended; and prioritizing
projects with the most attractive payback potential.
Analvsis of Buildinq Gondition lnformation
Based upon our observations, research, and judgment, along with consulting commonly
accepteci empirical expected useful life (EUL) tables, EMG will render an opinion as to when a
system or component will most probably necessitate replacement. Accurate historical
replacement records provided by the Facility Manager are typically the best source for this
data. Exposure to weather elements, initial system quality and installation, extent of use,
quality, and amount of preventive maintenance exercised are all factors that impact the
effective age of a system or component. A system or component may have an effective age +/-
its actual age. The RUL of a component or system equals the EUL less its effective age. ln
addition to determining the EUL and the RUL for each systemicomponent, EMG will categorize
each cited deficiency within one of the following Five Priorities:
. Priority 1: Currently Critical (lmmediate): Deficiencies requiring immediate action
including a cited safety hazard and areas of accelerated deterioration, returning a
building component to normal operation.
. Priority 2: Potentially Critícaf (Year 1): Deficiencies requiring action in the next
year including components experiencing intermittent operations, potential life safety
issues, and rapid deterioration, returning a building component to normal operation.
. Priority 3.' IVecessary - Not Yet Critical (Years 2-3): Deficiencies requiring
appropriate attention to preclude predictable deterioration, potential downtime,
additional damage, and higher costs to remediation if deferred further.
. Priority 4: Recommended (Years 4-5): Deficiencies representing a sensible
improvement to the existing conditions. These are not required for the most basic
function of the facility; however, Priority 4 projects will improve overall usability
and/or reduce long{erm maintenance costs.
Page 10 of 13
lt / t
. Priority 5.'Does Not Meet Current Code but "Grandfathered": No Action required
at this time, but should substantial work be undertaken, correction would be
required.
Classification
Deficiencies observed will be
Uniformat System:. Site
. Architectural. Exterior Systems
. Exterior Finishes
. Life Safety Systems
classified into categories such as the following, using the
. Special Electrical Systems
. Fire Suppression Systems
. Special Construction
. lnterior Systems
. lnterior Finishes
. Telephone lnfrastructure and
Systems. Data lnfrastructure and Server
Rooms
. Heating, Ventilation, and A,/C
Systems. Plumbing Systems
' Electrical Distribution Systems. Service Distribution Systems
Cost Estimatins
Each report will include a Capital Needs Analysis with estimated cost for each system or
component repair or replacement anticipated during the evaluation term. The report
narrative will discuss options for deficiency repair, and the analysis will be presented in
Excel including a summary of the description of each component, age, estimated RUL,
anticipated year of repair/replacement, quantity, unit cost, and total cost for repair of each
line item. A consolidated Capital Needs Analysis will be presented including all anticipated
capital needs for all buildings. EMG will provide cost estimates for deficiencies noted based
on maintenance and repair estimates, and may include project management, construction,
and design fees derived using actual costs from previous projects. Costs will be confirmed
with the City of Fresno. EMG uses the Uniformat System and RS Means Model for the
baseline of cost estimating. EMG maintains this system with information received from the
field. Through construction monitoring work, we have current cost data from hundreds of in-
progress construction and rehabilitation projects. This allows us to project costs based on
local conditions and maintain a database that is more current than published RS Means'
models.
Report Deliverables
EMG will provide a written analysis including a detailed description of each building
component and system. Each report will be organized by building system including a
description of all systems and components, and will include color digital photos of major
systems and components, and photos of all deficiencies identified. ln addition to the
narrative description, each report will include discussion of current and anticipated repairs
Page 11 of13
and deficiencies, and of any applicable options for repair or maintenance of building
components. These deficiencies will be summarized in a Capital Needs Analysis Table
included throughout each report. All EMG reports are submitted as drafts. Once individual
assessments are finalized, a program summary report will be provided to include a roll-up
of all prioritized capital needs across all facilities. The program summary report will reflect a
1O-year capital plan based upon EMG's 2O-year building system evaluation. The capital
needs analysis will include a cost table sorted by building and system, and ranked by
priority for repair. The format of the table will allow for the customization of reporting by
building, system, or priority for repair, and a year-by-year analysis of capital needs. EMG
will provide both a digital copy (PDF) and one (1) hard copy of the reports to the City.
lnteraction with the Citv of Fresno Staff
The Facility Condition Assessment will be a collaborative process between EMG and City
of Fresno Staff. There will be weekly conference calls to track progress against the
schedule and discuss recommendations observed in the field and while writing the report.
EMG will provide a rolling delivery of draft reports to the City of Fresno for review and
comment. Upon completion and acceptance of the reports, EMG will conduct a training
session for City of Fresno Staff on the AssetCALCrM database.
Assessment Software: AssetCALCrM
EMG will utilize AssetCALCrM as the platform for all data collected on this project.
AssetCALCrM is a web-based SQL system that allows users to query information regarding
specific items or across the entire asset portfolio. This streamlines the capital planning
process by compiling funding requirements for deficiencies to create budget models based
on project priority and life cycle maintenance and repair requirements.
Prior to populating the database, EMG will work with the City of Fresno to establish
attributes and data points requíred to be associated with each asset. This will include a
discussion of relative priority of the asset. The first step in populating the database is to
create an asset inventory. This will include all of the City of Fresno's assets and will be
grouped in a hierarchy based on site location, asset group, and function. At the facility
assessmenUdata collection phase, EMG will use AssetCALCrM as the platform in the field
for collection and analysis of asset conditions and needs. AssetCALCrM data can be
exported to a format compatible for upload into the City of Fresno's CMMS software (if
applicable).
AssetCALCrM features include:. Location Hierarchy. DeficiencyClassifications. Deficiency Priority Godes. Reporting: Standard Excel reports have deficiencies grouped by priority, location,
replacement year, and deficiency classification. A cost summary is also included.. Searching: lndividual deficiencies can be searched by location, deficiency
classification, and priority.

. Deficiency management: Add deficiencies, calculate Facility Condition lndex by
building or site, and re-prioritize and re-classify existing deficiencies.. Proprietary EMG Gost Database (with adjustable inflation assumptions). Facility Condition lndex Calculation Report (by building). Backlog and Funding Projection Module (recalculates FCI based on funding
assumptions)
AssetCALCrM includes many features applicable to asset managers and budget officials,
including:. Rank and Prioritize Capital lmprovement Projects. View Gomplete Deferred Maintenance Backlog. Report (by building, priority, system, or dollar deficiency amount). lnnovative Search Screen: Allows deficiency classifications, reporting, and

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
August 28, 2014
FROM:JERRY DYER, Chief of Police
Police Department
BY:ROBERT NEVAREZ, Deputy Chief
Administrative Services Division
SUBJECT
Request City Council approve the annual participation in the Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement
Program for the disposition of funds forfeited in connection with a crime and authorizing the execution
of related documents
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager and the Chief of Police to enter into
the annual Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement for the disposition of funds forfeited in connection
with a crime.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement Program provides local law enforcement agencies with
funds derived from forfeited assets (cash and property)used in connection with a crime.The Fresno
Police Department uses these funds to pay for the Skywatch program,safety equipment,and other
items that are directly related to law enforcement.Authorizing the City Manager and the Chief of
Police to enter into this agreement assures the City's participation in this program.
BACKGROUND
Asset forfeiture is an effective law enforcement tool the United States uses to deprive criminals of ill-
gotten gains by seizing the proceeds of criminal activity and property used to facilitate crime.Seized
property is shared with state and local law enforcement agencies which make substantial
contributions to underlying criminal investigations.This not only deprives criminals of ill-gotten gains,
but returns the proceeds to law enforcement to use to fight crime at the front-line level.The
Department uses this funding opportunity to help address operational and equipment needs,such as
the Skywatch program,weapons,ballistic vests,and safety equipment.The Federal Equitable
Sharing Agreement must be submitted annually,within 60 days of the end of each fiscal year,and
City Council's authorization will provide the new agreement to be effective through June 30,2015.
The agreement must be signed by the City Manager and the Chief of Police.By signing the

The agreement must be signed by the City Manager and the Chief of Police.By signing the
agreement,the signatories agree to be bound by the statutes and guidelines that regulate the
program.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Environmental findings are not applicable since the agreement is not a project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference is not applicable since goods and services are not being procured.
FISCAL IMPACT
These funds are mandated to be used for law enforcement purposes only,and are required to
enhance rather than supplant the General Fund budget.The Police Department uses this resource
for the Skywatch program,ballistic vests and other operational needs that are not funded by the
General Fund.

Resource Management Department on October 13,2009,February 18,2010,May 16,2012 and
February 4,2013 approved revisions to Vesting Tentative Map No.5914 resulting in the reduction of
the number of lots from 39 to 34.The Tentative Map was approved consistent with the 2025 General
Plan and the Bullard Community Plan to comply with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act.The
approval of Vesting Tentative Map No.5914 will expire on March 5,2017.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 Section 66474.1 of the Subdivision Map Act require a final
map that is in substantial compliance with the approved tentative map to be approved by the City
Council.
The Subdivider has satisfied all other conditions of approval and has paid the miscellaneous and
development impact fees due as a condition of approval for the Final Map in the amount of
$70,271.08.A condition of the Tentative Map is to pay its fair share of the Veterans Boulevard/SR 99
Interchange fee.The Public Works Department of the City Fresno has determined that in lieu of
paying the Veterans Boulevard/SR 99 Interchange fee,the Subdivider of the Final Map of Tract No.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
August 28, 2014
FROM:KEVIN R. MEIKLE, Director of Aviation
Airports Department
SUBJECT
Approve Amendment No. 6 between the City and ERM-West, Inc. (ERM) to provide ongoing
engineering, environmental, and remedial actions concerning groundwater contamination at
Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) for an amount not to exceed $72,700
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council authorize the Director of Aviation to execute Amendment No.6 with
ERM for additional professional engineering,environmental,and remedial actions concerning
groundwater contamination emanating from FAT.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ERM is providing environmental remediation services for the clean-up of groundwater
contamination that emanated from a military aircraft maintenance facility at the then named
Hammer Field.Work during calendar year 2014 is underway pursuant to Amendment No.5 of the
Master Agreement.Amendment No.6 is for the decommissioning of nine (9)monitoring wells,
which are no longer needed since regional water levels have receded and these wells are now
dry,and the repair of five (5)well boxes.The State of California Department of Toxic Substances
Control (DTSC) and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) support this work.
BACKGROUND
The environmental clean-up program of groundwater contamination has been ongoing throughout
the past 20 years.An Operating Agreement entered into by the City of Fresno (City),United
States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE),and Boeing pursuant to a September 16,2010,
Settlement Agreement ensures that the ongoing clean-up is coordinated by the parties,including
the selection and retention of consultants and contractors.The parties have determined that
ERM continues to be the most qualified consultant to manage the clean-up effort and the required
coordination with the DTSC and the RWQCB.One of the conditions of the Settlement Agreement
requires that the City execute all related agreements entered into under the Operating Agreement
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-280 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
requires that the City execute all related agreements entered into under the Operating Agreement
on behalf of all parties.
Oversight for the clean-up is accomplished through the DTSC and the RWQCB.Financial
responsibility for the clean-up has been negotiated and cost allocations identified in the
Settlement Agreement reached among the City,USACE,and Boeing.Under the terms of the
Settlement Agreement,the USACE was deemed responsible for 68%,Boeing for 22%,and the
City for 10%of total clean-up costs beginning September 16,2010,and to remain in effect until
the State is satisfied that the clean-up is complete.
The USACE and their subcontractor,North American Aviation (subsequently bought by Boeing),
operated an extensive aircraft maintenance facility on what was then called Hammer Field in the
late 1940s through the 1950s.Groundwater contamination emanating from the former North
American Aviation site was discovered in the 1980s.Clean-up activities began in 1990 and have
included the installation of a soil vapor extraction system,monitoring wells,water treatment
systems,related piping,operations and maintenance,system monitoring,and coordination with
the State.So far,over $17,000,000 has been spent on clean-up related activities by the three
parties. The extent of clean-up at and around FAT is shown on the attached site map.
Substantial progress has been made over the years including a determination by the State that
the soil vapor extraction system has successfully removed the source area contamination (P-3
hangar),which was decommissioned and removed in 2013.However,completion of the overall
clean-up effort and 100%clearance by the State is still many years away.It is anticipated that the
City will propose additional amendments to this Agreement in the future.
In regards to the past work that ERM has performed for the City,our experience has been that
they have performed professionally,and,also have maintained a very productive working
relationship with the USACE,Boeing,and the State of California.ERM is a California corporation
and they continue to operate out of their Fresno office for this project.One of the conditions of
the Settlement Agreement requires that the City execute all related agreements entered under the
Operating Agreement on behalf of all parties.
The current Agreement with ERM,the parties’remediation contractor identified in the Settlement
Agreement,was executed on December 21,2006,and included work through calendar year
2010.Amendment No.1 was executed on February 4,2011,and included work through calendar
year 2011.Amendment No.2 was executed on February 17,2012,and included work through
calendar year 2012.Amendment No.3 was executed on December 11,2012,and included work

File #:ID#14-292 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
In November 2006,the voters approved a 20-year extension of Measure “C”,the half-cent sales tax
for transportation.On January 27,2009,the Council adopted Resolution No.2009-19 in support of
the proposed Measure “C”Short-Term Regional Transportation Program.The program and
associated handbook was approved by the Council of Fresno County Governments (“COG”)on
January 29,2009,and in turn by the FCTA on February 18,2009.The FCTA prepared a Measure
“C”Cooperative Project Agreement which is to be executed by the FCTA and a project sponsor such
as the City of Fresno for each specific project.Upon approval by the FCTA Board,the City of Fresno
leveraged Measure “C”and Federal grant funds and moved forward to begin work towards this long
planned widening of Willow Avenue which is consistent with the 2025 General Plan.
The Willow Avenue Widening Project from Decatur Avenue to Shepherd Avenue will construct three
southbound travel lanes,bike lanes,curb,gutter and pedestrian trail within the project limits and
eliminate the traffic bottleneck on Nees Avenue.On July 31,2014,the Council awarded a
construction contract to complete the final phase of the project.This agreement will transfer excess
funding from the construction phase to the preliminary engineering phase,to supplement the
$240,470 Federal funds previously authorized by Caltrans with Measure “C”Tier 1 funds amounting
to $241,000.
The Draft Cooperative Agreement has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This agreement is to re-allocate funds between two phases of the same project and an environmental
assessment is not required. This is a funding mechanism only.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Not Applicable
FISCAL IMPACT
The project is located in Council District 6.The overall cost of the project is $4,378,800 and is
funded by a $2,705,170 grant from the Federal Regional Surface Transportation Program,
$1,341,000 in Regional Measure C Tier 1 funds and $1,088,000 Developer fees.The project will not
have any impact to the General Fund.

Authority (FCTA) for the Broadway Project Off-site Improvements under the Measure “C” Transit
Oriented Development (TOD) Program (Council District 3)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council approve a Cooperative Agreement for the Broadway Project Off-
site Improvements under the Measure “C” TOD Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The scope for the Broadway Project will include the construction of off-site improvements along the
abutting frontages of the site,such as curbs,gutters,sidewalks and paving on San Joaquin Street,
Broadway and Calaveras Street and installation of a water main.The FCTA Board has approved the
allocation of TOD funds for the project and the Cooperative Agreement will allow for the City to be
reimbursed for eligible project costs by the FCTA.Council approval of the Cooperative Agreement is
necessary at this time in order to allow for FCTA Board approval on September 10,2014,and to
avoid any project delays.
BACKGROUND
The Measure "C"Extension (2007-2027)approved by the voters of Fresno County includes a
number of subprograms including regional street and highway projects,airport funding,transit,
flexible funding,street maintenance,bicycle lanes,trails and environmental enhancements,as well
as several others.Under the Environmental Enhancement Allocation Program,the Measure

File #:ID#14-293 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
as several others.Under the Environmental Enhancement Allocation Program,the Measure
Expenditure Plan includes the TOD Program,the purpose of which was to provide funding to support
planning, incentives and infrastructure related to infill, higher-density TOD types of development.
On January 30,2014,the Council approved a Cooperative Agreement with the FCTA in the amount
of $456,250 for improvements to the Broadway-Fulton Alley from Calaveras Street to San Joaquin
Street under the Measure “C”TOD Program.The FCTA Board approved the Cooperative Agreement
on February 12, 2014.
On February 27,2014,the Council adopted Resolution No.2014-37,authorizing submission of an
application for grant funds under the TOD program.The Resolution included the off-site
improvements for the Met block Development and the Broadway Project,in the amount of $533,457.
The resolution provided funding for the Broadway Project off-site Improvements along the abutting
frontages of Calaveras Street, San Joaquin Street, and Broadway, in the amount of $303,658.
In order to complete the project and allow for reimbursement of project costs from the Measure "C"
TOD Program funds, the City and FCTA need to enter into a Cooperative Agreement.
Upon approval by the Council the Cooperative Agreement will be executed on behalf of the City by
the Public Works Director, in accordance with the City Manager's delegation of the signing authority.
Staff is currently negotiating a reimbursement agreement for this project with Granville Homes in
anticipation of the developer obtaining bids,managing the construction contract and submitting the
necessary financial documentation for reimbursement of eligible project costs.Staff will return to
Council within 30 days to request approval of a developer reimbursement agreement and an
amendment to the Annual Appropriations Resolution (AAR)to incorporate this capital improvement
project into the City's current fiscal year budget.Staff will present the project-related environmental
findings in conjunction with Council's consideration of the developer reimbursement agreement,
which will enable the actual project construction.The Cooperative Agreement has been approved as
to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
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 California Environmental
Quality Act requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Not applicable because this is not a competitive bid. This is a funding mechanism only.
FISCAL IMPACT
The $303,658 project cost to construct off-site improvements abutting frontages of the project,is
being fully funded by Measure "C" TOD dollars. There will be no impact to the General Fund.

BACKGROUND
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 2

File #:ID#14-294 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
The Measure "C"Extension (2007-2027)approved by the voters of Fresno County has a number of
subprograms including regional street and highway projects,airport funding,transit ,flexible funding,
street maintenance,bicycle lanes,trails and environmental enhancements,as well as several others.
Under the Environmental Enhancement Allocation Program,the Measure “C”Expenditure Plan
includes the TOD Program,the purpose of which was to provide funding to support planning,
incentives and infrastructure related to infill, higher-density TOD types of development.
On February 27,2014,the Council adopted Resolution No.2014-37,authorizing submission of an
application for grant funds under the TOD program.This resolution included the Met Block Project off
-site Improvements along the abutting frontages of Calaveras Street,Stanislaus Street,and Fulton
Street, in the amount of $121,342.
In order to complete the project and allow for reimbursement of project costs from the Measure "C"
TOD funds,the City and FCTA need to enter into a Cooperative Agreement.Staff recommends the
Council approve this agreement in substantially the form attached subject to approval by the City
Attorney's Office prior to execution.Upon approval by the Council and City Attorney’s Office,the
agreement will be executed on behalf of the City by the Public Works Director,in accordance with the
City Manager's delegation of the signing authority.The FCTA Board is scheduled to consider and
approve this Cooperative Agreement on September 10,2014.
Staff is currently negotiating a reimbursement agreement for this project with Granville Homes in
anticipation of the developer obtaining bids,managing the construction contract,and submitting the
necessary financial documentation for reimbursement of eligible project costs.Staff will return to
Council within 30 days to request approval of a developer reimbursement agreement and an
amendment to the Annual Appropriations Resolution (AAR)to incorporate this capital improvement
project into the City's current fiscal year budget.Staff will present the project-related Environmental
Findings in conjunction with Council's consideration of the developer reimbursement agreement,
which will enable the actual project construction.
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 California Environmental Quality Act
requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Not applicable because this is not a competitive bid. This is a funding mechanism only.
FISCAL IMPACT
The $229,799 project cost to construct off-site improvements abutting frontages of the project,is
being fully funded by Measure "C" TOD dollars. There will be no impact to the General Fund.

Development and Resources Management
SUBJECT
* BILL NO. B-36 - (For adoption; Introduced August 21, 2014) - Repealing Section 12-328 of the
Fresno Municipal Code and adding Article 22 of Chapter 12 to the Fresno Municipal Code relating to
outdoor dining
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council take the following action:
1.Approve the ordinance bill of the City Council repealing Section 12-328 of the Fresno
Municipal Code and adding Article 22 of Chapter 12 to the Fresno Municipal Code relating to
outdoor dining.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 6,2014,the City Council,through Ordinance Bill 2014-17,approved Text Amendment No.
TA-13-006 relating to the use of outdoor dining areas within street easements and rights-of-way,
without requiring a special permit for certain uses.In efforts to enhance permit processing the
attached ordinance bill was drafted to clarify some administrative procedures relating to right-of-way
encroachment and the necessity of recorded agreements.This bill will simplify the process for all
businesses whether they own or lease the property and will allow for encroachment on City owned
space without obtaining any permit or encroachment agreement subject to certain requirements.
There is clarifying language to include lessee,tenants and legal occupants of the building to
eliminate ownership issues.
BACKGROUND
The proposed ordinance bill has been drafted to address specific concerns related to the outdoor
dining ordinance that was enacted in March of 2014.During its early inception,concerns were raised
regarding the recordation of an agreement as well as the extent of encroachment into the right-of-
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-325 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
regarding the recordation of an agreement as well as the extent of encroachment into the right-of-
way.City staff has drafted the attached ordinance that addresses these concerns and would still
allow for the timely processing of these applications.
Many of the original requirements of the outdoor dining ordinance will remain in place.These include
no additional parking requirements;clear definition of designated outdoor dining areas;and no
updated security plans.These requirements will allow for a safe operating environment while
protecting the public right-of-way.The proposed relocation of the ordinance within the Fresno
Municipal Code will also promote timely processing by eliminating administrative timelines.The
original intent of the ordinance was to process such permits over the counter in one day.This will be
accomplished through the adoption of this ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This is not a "project"for the purposes of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines,section 15378(b)(5),
as it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the
environment.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Not applicable since no bid process was involved in this project.
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/customer.Prudent financial management is
demonstrated by the expeditious completion,in turn,funding the respective operations of the
Development and Resource Management Department.

SUBJECT:Consider Text Amendment Application No.TA-13-006 and related environmental
finding for Environmental Assessment No.TA-13-006 relating to the use of
outdoor dining areas,including within street easements and rights-of-way,
without requiring a special permit for certain uses
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 be concluded that proposed Text Amendment
Application No.TA-13-006 is appropriate for citywide use.Therefore,staff recommends the
City Council take the following actions:
1.APPROVE to the City Council of the environmental finding for Environmental Assessment
No.TA-13-006,dated October 31, 2013, that a Negative Declaration be adopted for the
project.
2.APPROVE to the City Council of Text Amendment Application No.TA-13-006,which would
allow for the expansion and use of outdoor dining areas, including within street easements
and rights-of-way,without requiring a special permit for certain uses.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Text Amendment No.TA-13-006 was initiated by the Director of DARM,pursuant to Section
12-402.A of the FMC. Text Amendment No.TA-13-006 proposes to add Section 12-328,
repeal and reserve Subsection (M) of Sections 12-220.5 and 12-231.5, amend Subsection (d)
of Section 13-219, and amend Section 9-2503 of the FMC (see Ordinance Bill). The text
amendment proposes to allow for the expansion and use of outdoor dining areas, including
within street easements and rights-of-way (i.e.sidewalks),without requiring a special permit for
certain uses. Currently, the FMC only allows outdoor dining in conjunction with a restaurant.
The approval of the proposed text amendment would allow for outdoor dining at Restaurants,
Taverns,Delicatessens,Ice Cream Stores,Cafeterias,Banquet Halls,Bakeries,Micro-
breweries,Nightclubs and other similar uses.

A Negative Declaration was filed with the Fresno County Clerk
on October 31, 2013
See Exhibit F for Council District Plan Implementation
Committee recommendations
On January 29,2014,the Planning Commission recommended
that the City Council: (1) Adopt the Negative Declaration, dated
October 31, 2013, prepared for the project; (2)Approve Text
Amendment No.TA-13-006 with the addition that smoking be
prohibited within patios on private and public property
Approve the proposed text amendment and adopt the related
environmental finding
No site plan, conditional use permit, or amendment to an existing special permit is required for
an Outdoor Dining area. Instead, an over-the-counter application is required to be submitted
to the Director of DARM for ministerial approval consistent with the proposed Outdoor Dining
Ordinance prior to use of the Outdoor Dining area. The total Outdoor Dining area associated
with each establishment is limited to 49 persons or 749 square feet,whichever is less, for an
over-the-counter application.Additional Outdoor Dining area up to 3,000 square feet may be
approved with a special permit (site plan review or conditional use permit)consistent with the
design guidelines of the proposed ordinance.
Outdoor Dining Areas without Alcohol Consumption
An applicant may submit an over-the-counter application for ministerial approval to
immediately operate an Outdoor Dining area where alcoholic beverages are not consumed or
otherwise used. No updated or additional security plan is required if alcoholic beverages are
not consumed or otherwise used in the Outdoor Dining area.
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Text Amendment Application No. TA-13-006

Page 3
Outdoor Dining Areas with Alcohol Consumption
For any use involving alcoholic beverages in the Outdoor Dining area, a security plan, and any
additional information as the Director of DARM may reasonably require to evaluate the
application, shall be submitted to the Director for review and approval by the Police
Department.
Upon consultation with the Police Department, the Director has discretion to deny any
application involving alcoholic beverages in the Outdoor Dining area for either II good cause" as
defined in Section 12-326(H)(1) of the FMC (Exhibit A), or for any unlawful nuisance identified
by Section 10-708 of the FMC (Exhibit B).
Parking
No additional parking is required when a proposed Outdoor Dining area is less than 749
square feet. Any portion of the Outdoor Dining area 749 square feet or more shall be included
as gross floor area for the purposes of calculating off-street parking requirements at the rate
set in Section 12-306(1)(2.2)(d) of the FMC.
Noise Requirements
Use of an Outdoor Dining area shall comply with the Noise Ordinance of the FMC. If a
qualifying Outdoor Dining area is proposed to be used after 10:00 p.m. and is located within
500 feet of property planned for residential uses, excluding any portion that is planned to allow
residential mixed uses, an acoustical analysis with a diagram of the Outdoor Dining area must
be conducted to ensure compatibility with the Noise Ordinance.
Barriers Around Outdoor Dining Areas
Barriers around Outdoor Dining areas are not required, including those where alcoholic
beverages are consumed, but are allowed subject to the proposed ordinance if not more than
four feet in height and maintain at least 50%transparency. Barriers can be permanent or
temporary; chain linked fencing is prohibited. All barriers must have at least one direct exit
made by either providing a gap in the barrier, or with a door or gate that swings in the direction
of egress travel equipped with panic hardware. The Outdoor Dining area must maintain and
allow for at least four feet of available and usable travel space for all walkways, sidewalks,
entrances and exits. The Outdoor Dining area must not obstruct direct access or egress from
any entrance or exit. An Outdoor Dining area, where alcoholic beverages are consumed, shall
comply with barrier requirements as may be established by the California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).
Use of City Right-of-Way for Outdoor Dining
Use of City of Fresno street easement or right-of-way (Le. sidewalks), for Outdoor Dining
purposes may be approved at the discretion of the Director of DARM after consultation with
the Department of Public Works. An encroachment permit issued by the Department of Public
Works is required. An applicant will be required by the encroachment permit (or covenant) to
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Text Amendment Application No.TA-13-006

Page 4
maintain the encroachment area free of any nuisance, and shall conduct activities in full
compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
Additional Amendments to the Code
To help facilitate the development of an Outdoor Dining area under the proposed text
amendment, revisions were needed for Sections of the FMC that are not within Chapter 12
(Land Use Planning and Zoning). Section 9-2503 (d) of the FMC is proposed to be revised to
allow an encroachment permit, for alcoholic beverage consumption on a mall or sidewalk, to
be issued by the Department of Public Works, rather than the City Council. Additionally,
painted lines will not be required around the alcoholic beverage consumption area.
Also, though not needed to develop an Outdoor Dining area under the proposed text
amendment, Section 9-2503 (d) of the FMC proposes to allow the Parks and Recreation
Director, in consultation with the Police Chief, to authorize the consumption of alcoholic
beverages during an event of limited duration held in a mall area as defined in Section
14-1801 (f)of the FMC (Exhibit C). In addition, the subject text amendment proposes to add
the Police Chief as someone that reviews the project and removes the requirement that the
event be conducted by an organization for the benefit of a nonprofit organization, a charitable
purpose, or the city.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
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 from other responsible or affected agencies
and interested organizations.
Based on the attached environmental assessment, with the project requirements and
parameters imposed, there is no substantial evidence in the record that this project may have
direct, indirect, or cumulative effects on the environment that are significant; therefore, this
project will not require the preparation of an environmental impact report. As such, the filing of
a negative declaration is appropriate in accordance with the provisions of CEQA Section
15070.
A public notice of the attached negative declaration finding for Environmental Assessment
Application No. TA-13-006 was published in The Fresno Bee on October 31, 2013 with no
comments received within the 20 day comment period.
Community Outreach
On October 10, 2013, a select group of restaurant owners affiliated with the California
Restaurant Association was consulted with and provided valuable feedback on the proposed
ordinance. Additionally, the proposal was presented to the Fresno Chamber Government
Affairs Committee on October 16, 2013, and was supportive of the project.

Comments Received
An initial version of the text amendment was prepared and routed for comment to various
internal departments and outside agencies having oversight relative to Outdoor Dining,
including, the City of Fresno Public Works, Fire and Police Departments ,Fresno County
Environmental Health (Exhibit D) and ABC. After all the comments were received for the initial
version, staff developed the proposed text amendment (see Ordinance Bill).
Planning Commission Public Hearing Notice
In accordance with Fresno Municipal Code Section 12-402-B, a notice of Planning
Commission hearing was published in The Fresno Bee on October 31,2013.
Planning Commission Action
The Fresno City Planning Commission considered the text amendment application at their
regularly scheduled meeting on January 29,2014.At the hearing, the Planning Commission
discussed the issue of whether smoking should be allowed in patios on private and public
property.
After a complete hearing, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the text
amendment to the City Council, with the following addition to proposed Section 12-328:
1. 12-328.E.11: Smoking shall be prohibited within patios on private property and on street
easements or right-of-way (see Exhibit G).
It is noted, however, that staff has not included the prohibition of smoking in patios on private
and public property in the proposed text amendment.
Airport Land Use Commission
The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) considered the text amendment application at their
regularly scheduled meeting on February 3, 2014. The ALUC discussed the issue of whether
approving an over-the-counter application could potentially result in a property exceeding its
allowed density.
Staff explained to the ALUC that an over-the-counter application will only allow "small" patios
without a special permit, businesses would still have to comply with the conditions of their
special permit and zoning and the proposed text amendment expressly requires compliance
with state and federal law.
Additionally, staff explained to the ALUC that a density check can be done for those properties
that are within an Airport Review Area prior to approving an over-the-counter application. The
ALUC voted unanimously to approve the proposed text amendment application with the
condition that staff review would include confirming the outdoor dining would not allow a
business to exceed the density limitations required in Airport Review Areas.

expressly prohibited by a condition of an existing special permit,
approved parcel or tract map, or zoning action. Instead, an over-
the-counter application shall be submitted to the Director for
ministerial approval consistent with this Section prior to use of the
Outdoor Dining area. The application shall include a scaled exhibit
depicting the location of the Outdoor Dining area (including
proposed structures and barriers, locations of tables and chairs,

2. Use of the Outdoor Dining area shall be subject to the same hours
of operation as the existing authorized use for the property.
3. No updated or additional security plan is required if alcoholic
beverages are not consumed or otherwise used in the Outdoor
Dining area. For any use involving alcoholic beverages in the
Outdoor Dining area the following standards shall apply:
a. In addition to an application to operate an Outdoor Dining
area where alcoholic beverages are proposed to be
consumed, an applicant may also submit an over-the-
counter application for ministerial approval to immediately
operate an Outdoor Dining area where alcoholic beverages
are not consumed or otherwise used. The most recently
approved application governs to the extent it regulates the
same Outdoor Dining area.
b. For any use involving alcoholic beverages in the Outdoor
Dining area, a security plan, and any additional information
as the Director may reasonably require to evaluate the
application, shall be submitted to the Director for review and
approval by the Police Department.
c. Upon consultation with the Police Department, the Director

unlawful nuisance identified by Section 10-708. The Director
shall send written notice and a summary of the grounds for
the denial to an applicant not less than 10 days prior to the
denial becoming final. Denials are without prejudice; an
applicant may resolve the unlawful nuisance or activity
constituting "qood cause" and re-apply at any time.
Page 2 of 8
Ordinance No.
d. Prior to the decision becoming final, an applicant may file
with the Director a written appeal of such denial, along with
any argument and evidence as to why the use should not be
denied. Failure to timely appeal shall be deemed a failure to
exhaust administrative remedies. Upon receiving an appeal,
the Director shall consider all evidence and argument, and
may deny the application if there is credible evidence of a
violation. Notice of the Director's final decision shall be in
writing and sent to the applicant. If the Director determines
there is not sufficient grounds for denial, the application shall
be approved if otherwise consistent with this Code and
applicable law.
4. Multiple Outdoor Dining areas may be used. The total Outdoor
Dining area associated with each establishment is limited to 49
persons or 749 square feet,whichever is less, for an over-the-
counter application. Additional Outdoor Dining area up to 3,000
square feet may be approved with a special permit consistent with
the design guidelines of this Section.
5.The Outdoor Dining area must maintain and allow for at least four
feet of available and usable travel space for all walkways,
sidewalks, entrances and exits. The Outdoor Dining area must not
obstruct direct access or egress from any entrance or exit. Travel
space between the Outdoor Dining area and the building used for
consuming food and beverages cannot cross an area where
vehicular traffic is allowed, and a 10 foot visibility triangle must be
maintained at all driveways and vehicular entrances. An Outdoor
Dining area adjacent to a roadway or vehicular travel area must be
located at least six feet from the edge of curb. If the Outdoor
Dining area would cause the total building occupancy to exceed 49
people, the building must have at least two unobstructed exits
consistent with the Building Code.
6. No additional parking is required when the Outdoor Dining area is
less than 749 square feet. Any portion of the Outdoor Dining area
749 square feet or more shall be included as gross floor area for
the purposes of calculating off-street parking requirements at the
rate set in Section 12-306(1)(2.2)(d)of this Code.
7. The acoustical analysis requirements of Section 12-326(F)(7) are
not applicable if the total Outdoor Dining area is less than 749
square feet and is limited to 49 persons or less. Instead, use of the
Outdoor Dining area shall comply with the Noise Ordinance per
Article 1 of Chapter 10. If a qualifying Outdoor Dining area is
proposed to be used after 10:00 p.m. and is located within 500 feet
of property planned for residential uses, excluding any portion that
Page 3 of 8
Ordinance No.
is planned to allow residential mixed uses, an acoustical analysis
with a diagram of the Outdoor Dining area must be conducted to
ensure compatibility with the Noise Ordinance. If an acoustical
analysis shows compatibility, the qualifying Outdoor Dining area
can be used after 10:00 p.m. for such time as the consumption of
food and beverages is otherwise authorized for the property if
consistent with the assumptions in the analysis to ensure
compatibility. A copy of the acoustical analysis must be submitted
to the Director, kept on the premises associated with the Outdoor
Dining area, and promptly made available for inspection upon
request by any person. Any expansion of the qualifying Outdoor
Dining area will require an updated acoustical analysis before it can
be used after 10:00 p.m. This Section does not authorize use of
the Outdoor Dining area after 10:00 p.m. if the acoustical analysis
does not show compatibility with the Noise Ordinance.
8. Barriers around Outdoor Dining areas are not required, but are
allowed subject to this Code if not more than four feet in height and
maintain at least 50%transparency to the outdoor elements.
Barriers cannot block or enclose existing ingress or egress to a
structure absent prior authorization from the Building Official or
designee. Barriers can be permanent or temporary, and may
include moveable stanchions and similar items. All barriers must
have at least one direct exit made by either providing a gap in the
barrier, or with a door or gate that swings in the direction of egress
travel equipped with panic hardware and having an operating force
of no more than five pounds, or as otherwise required by
accessibility regulations. Door or gate swing shall not intrude into
any travel or related area described in Subdivision 5 of Sub-section
E of this Section, nor shall it intrude into any parking space. An
Outdoor Dining area, where alcoholic beverages are consumed,
must comply with barrier requirements as may be established by
the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
9. Allowed furnishings may include tables, chairs, umbrellas,
landscape pots, wait stations, planters, benches, waste
receptacles, and similar items that help to define pedestrian and
other use of the outdoor dining areas. Materials must be of wood,
metal, stone, terra cotta, cast stone, hand-sculpted concrete, a
solid surfacing material, or recycled plastic. Plastic resin
furnishings are prohibited unless made of commercial-grade
materials; chain linked fencing is prohibited. No signs shall be
affixed to or supported by the furnishings or fixtures except as
authorized by the Sign Ordinance. Permanent fencing, barriers,
lighting, heating, cooling or other fixtures are allowed with a building
permit consistent with Chapter 11 (Building Permits and
Regulations). Individual table umbrellas may be used; roof
Page 4 of 8
Ordinance No.
coverings, canopies, tents or similar items are prohibited except
with a building permit and subject to approval by the Fire
Department. Furnishings such as tables and chairs, and fixtures
such as portable heaters, shall not be stored in such a way as to be
visible from the street for more than 72 hours. Furnishings and
fixtures ready for use may remain in the outdoor dining area at all
times even if visible from the street.
10.Outdoor Dining shall comply with all applicable federal, state or
local laws, including Section 12-405(8)(9)(Installation of Outdoor
Electric Lighting Fixtures), Article 5 of Chapter 10 (Fire Prevention),
and Chapter 11 (Building Permits and Regulations) of this Code. In
addition to any other remedies authorized by law, including citation,
the City may revoke the approval following the process set forth in
Section 12-405(E).
F. Use of City Right of Way. Use of City of Fresno street easement or right-
of-way, for Outdoor Dining purposes may be approved at the discretion of
the Director after consultation with the Department of Public Works,
subject to the following requirements in addition to those found in
Subsection E except as noted:
1. No rent shall be charged for use of the encroachment area.
2. No additional parking shall be required for use of the encroachment
area for Outdoor Dining; the parking requirements of Subsection E

DETERMINATION:(To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
X I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment,and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project is a subsequent project identified in the MEIR
and Air Quality MND but that it is not fully within the scope of the MEIR and Air
Quality MND because the proposed project could have a significant effect on
the environment that was not examined in the MEIR or Air Quality MND.
However, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in
the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. The
project specific mitigation measures and all applicable mitigation measures
contained in the MEIR Mitigation Monitoring Checklist will be imposed upon the
proposed project.A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project is a subsequent project identified in the MEIR
but that it MAY have a significant effect on the environment that was not
examined in the MEIR or Air Quality MND, and an ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT is required to analyze the potentially significant effects not
examined in the MEIR or Air Quality MND pursuant to Public Resources Code
Section 21157.1(d)and CEQA Guidelines 15178(a).

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
October 31, 2013
Date
1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No lrnpact"answers that are
adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the
parentheses following each question. A IINo lrnpact"answer is adequately supported
if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to
projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A
IINo Impact"answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors
as well as general standards (e.g" the project will not expose sensitive receptors to
pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
2.All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well
as on-site,cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and
construction as well as operational impacts.
3.Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur,
then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant,
less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant."Potentially Significant
Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be
significant.If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the
determination is made, an EIR is required.
4. A "Flndinq of Conformity"is a determination based on an initial study that the
proposed project is a subsequent project identified in the MEIR and that it is fully
within the scope of the MEIR and Air Quality MND because it would have no
additional significant effects that were not examined in the MEIR or the Air Quality
MND.
5."Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies
where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from
"Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency
must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the
effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII,"Earlier
Analyses,II may be cross-referenced).
6.Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering, program EIR or MIER,
or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or
negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D).In this case, a brief discussion should
-4-
identify the following:
a.Earlier Analysis Used.Identify and state where they are available for review.
b.frnpacts Adequately Addressed.Identify which effects from the above checklist
were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the MEIR or another earlier
document pursuant to applicable legal standards,and state whether such
effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c.Mitigation Measures.For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation
Measures tncorporated."describe the mitigation measures which were
incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they
address site-specific conditions for the project.
7. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to
information sources for potential impacts (e.q.,general plans, zoning ordinances).
Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate,
include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
8.Supporting Information Sources:A source list should be attached,and other sources
used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
9.This is only a suggested form I and lead agencies are free to use different formats;
however,lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist
that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
10.The explanation of each issue should identify:
a. The significance criteria or threshold,if any, used to evaluate each question;and
b. The mitigation measure identified,if any, to reduce the impact to less than
significance

The proposed project will have no impact on a scenic vista because any structure that
may be built will of relatively low height. Any proposed project will not be performing
any work within a state scenic highway, therefore, the project will not substantially
damage scenic resources, including, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a state scenic highway. The project will allow for development consistent with the
predominant development in the existing area, therefore it will not substantially degrade
the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings. Furthermore,
development of a potential project will not create a new source of substantial light or
glare which would affect day or night time views in a project area, given that the project
will only have lights consistent with other locations in the area.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
II. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY
RESOURCES: In determining
whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies
may refer to the California
Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model (1997) prepared
by the California Dept. of
Conservation as an optional model to
use in assessing impacts on
agriculture and farmland. -- Would
the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique
Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on
the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program of the California Resources
Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for
agricultural use, or a Williamson Act
contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or
cause rezoning of, forest land (as
defined in Public Resources Code
section 12220(g)), timberland (as
defined by Public Resources Code
section 4526), or timberland zoned
Timberland Production (as defined by
Government Code section
51104(g))?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or
conversion of forest land to non-
forest use?

The proposed project does not apply to farmland and, as such, the potential projects will
not conflict with existing zoning or a Williamson Act contract. Potential project sites will
be zoned for commercial uses, therefore it will not conflict with existing zoning for, or
cause rezoning of, forest land or timberland. Potential project sites will be zoned for
commercial uses, therefore a potential project will not result in the loss or conversion of
forest land. The project will allow for the development of patios at existing locations,
therefore the project will not result in the conversion of farmland to a non-agricultural
use.

The proposed project will comply with the Resource Conservation Element (regarding
Air Quality) of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the Goals, Policies and Objectives of
the Regional Transportation Plan adopted by the Fresno Council of Fresno County
Governments, therefore the project will not conflict with or obstruct an applicable air
quality plan. The project must comply with the construction and development
requirements of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, therefore, no
violations of air quality standards will occur. The project will not occur at a scale or
scope to have potential to contribute substantially to existing or projected air quality
violation. Additionally, the project will not occur at a scale or scope which will result in a
cumulatively considerable net increase of a criteria pollutant for which the project region
is non-attainment. The proposed project is not proposed at a scale or scope which
would be expected to generate substantial pollutant concentrations, therefore there will
be no exposure to sensitive receptors. The project is proposing to allow for small patio
areas at existing commercial locations, therefore it is not expected to create
objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people.

The proposed project would allow for patios at existing commercial locations, therefore
the proposed project would not directly affect any sensitive, special status, or candidate
species, nor would it modify any habitat that supports them. At existing commercial
locations, there will be no riparian habitat or any other sensitive natural community
identified in the vicinity of the proposed project by the California Department of Fish and
Game or the US Fish and Wildlife Service. No federally protected wetlands will be
located at existing commercial locations. Therefore, there would be no impacts to
species, riparian habitat or other sensitive communities and wetlands. Potential
commercial sites will not be located within a native resident or migratory fish area,
therefore it will not impede on their movement. Proposed project sites will not contain a
native wildlife nursery site. No local policies, habitat conservation plan, regarding
biological resources are applicable to potential project sites and there would be no
impacts with regard to those plans.

Fresno has no known active earthquake faults, and is not in any Alquist-Priolo Special
Studies Zones. The proposed use will be at existing commercial locations, therefore
there are no known geologic hazards or unstable soil conditions known to exist on
potential sites. Potential project sites will not be located within an area that has strong
seismic ground shaking, liquefaction or landslides. The project is a proposing a patio
use at existing commercial locations, therefore there is not expected to be substantial
soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. Development of the property requires compliance
with grading and drainage standards of the City of Fresno and Fresno Metropolitan

The proposed project will not create a significant hazard to the public or the
environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials,
because said project does not involve the use of hazardous materials; additionally, as
such, there is no significant hazard to the public or the environment through an
accident. The project proposes to allow for patios at existing commercial locations,
therefore it is not expected to emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely
hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or
proposed school. The use will not be allowed at hazardous materials sites. Potential
project areas may be located within an airport land use plan or vicinity of a private
airstrip, however, only minor structures may be built, as such, the project would not
result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in a project area. The project will
also be reviewed by the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). Recommendations of
the ALUC will be given to the City Council prior to approval of the text amendment.
Potential projects must comply with the Building Code requirements for emergency
access points, therefore it will not interfere will an emergency evacuation plan. Potential

The proposed project is considered to be proposed at a size and scope which is neither
a direct or indirect detriment to the quality of the environment through reductions in
habitat, populations, or examples of local history (through either individual or cumulative
impacts). The proposed project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of
the environment or reduce the habitat of wildlife species and will not threaten plant
communities or endanger any floral or faunal species. Furthermore the project has no
potential to eliminate important examples of major periods in history. Therefore, as
noted in preceding sections of this Initial Study, there is no evidence in the record to
indicate that incremental environmental impacts facilitated by this project would be

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
August 28, 2014
FROM:SCOTT L. MOZIER, PE, Director
Public Works Department
BY:ROBERT N. ANDERSEN, PE, Assistant Director
Public Works Department, Capital Management Division
SUBJECT
Approve an Agreement with VSCE in the amount of $2,199,691 for the construction management
services on the City of Fresno Bus Rapid Transit Project (BRT)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the Consultant Agreement with VSCE in the
amount of $2,199,691 for the construction management services on the City of Fresno BRT and
allow the Public Works Director or his designee to sign on behalf of the City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The BRT construction documents are currently at the 60%stage and almost ready for plan review.
Staff wishes to have the Construction Management firm perform a constructability review on the
plans and specifications during the 60%and 90%review.This will allow the construction
management firm to have input on the final design and develop a better final product.VSCE will also
be responsible for the day to day inspection of the BRT Project.
BACKGROUND
Fresno Area Express (FAX)was awarded a Federal Transit Administration (FTA)grant for the
development and construction of the Blackstone/Ventura/Kings Canyon BRT Line.This project will
consist of replacing the FAX routes 28 and 30 with express service that would occur at a frequency of
10-minute headways during peak periods and 15-minute headways during midday periods.In
addition,these new routes will have fifty-one state-of-the-art bus stations along the route which will
include shelters,ticket vending machines,security technologies,real-time arrival signage,information
kiosks and bike racks.
On June 28,2012,Council awarded a contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates for the preparation of

File #:ID#14-209 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
construction documents for the Blackstone/Ventura/Kings Canyon BRT Line.
On May 22,2014,Council awarded a contract to Provost and Pritchard for the plan check services
on the construction documents for the BRT project.
On September 9,2013,per Administrative Order 6-19,staff mailed out and posted on the City’s
website,a notice requesting an RFQ from construction management firms for the daily inspection on
the City of Fresno BRT project.
This contract provides for preconstruction activities such as constructability reviews at the 90%and
100%plan stage,assistance with the bidding and procurement of a contractor,establishing project
procedures and controls during construction and assisting with the kick off meeting with the
contractor.During construction,this contract will provide for the construction documentation,
scheduling,change orders,safety programs,material testing and the day to day inspection of the
project.
Although City Construction Management staff could perform this work at approximately the same
cost,the FTA funding for the project will not pay for the City’s overhead cost.This is due to the fact
that the City of Fresno does not currently have an approved Federal Cost Allocation Plan.
On October 10,2013,staff had received four Statement of Qualifications and on January 7,2014,
staff interviewed all four of the submitting consultants.The firm VSCE was chosen as the most
qualified firm.
The consultant agreement has been approved as to form the City Attorney’s Office.
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the Consultant Agreement with VSCE in the
amount of $2,199,691 for the construction management services on the City of Fresno BRT and
allow the Public Works Director or his designee to sign on behalf of the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 the
award of this contract does not qualify as a “project”and is therefore exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference is inapplicable because federal funding will be used on the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is to be funded by the Federal Transportation Authority grant for the design and
construction of the BRT. There will be no impact to the General Fund.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
August 21, 2014
FROM:KERRI L. DONIS, Fire Chief
Fire Department
BY:TIMOTHY V. HENRY, Deputy Fire Chief
Fire Department
SUBJECT
Implementation of Fire Department Self-Inspection Program and Fire Inspection Policy Change
Recommendations
1.*RESOLUTION -1st amendment to the Position Authorization Resolution No.2014-96 adding
two (2)Fire Inspector positions to the Fire Department and two (2)Fire Inspector positions to the
Development and Resource Management Department
RECOMMENDATIONS
As previously directed by the City Council,it is recommended the Fire Chief implement changes to its
General Inspection Program.These changes will result in a reduction of approximately 11,939 non-
state mandated fire inspections conducted by the City of Fresno. These changes include:
·Implementation of a Self-Inspection Program (SIP) for non-state mandated inspections
·The movement of residential fire sprinkler inspections to Development and Resource
Management (DARM)and the addition of two (2)deleted Fire Inspectors assigned to DARM
to complete them
·Reinstitute the inspection of 1,877 non-state mandated high-risk occupancies and the addition
of two (2)deleted Fire Inspectors to the Fire Department (FFD)to complete those inspections
and maintain the current commercial construction appointment timelines
·Reallocation of other state mandated inspections such as apartment complexes to be
conducted by Fire Suppression Personnel
In conjunction with the above,staff also recommends the City Council approve and adopt the first
amendment to the Position Authorization Resolution 2014-96 adding two (2)Fire Inspector positions

amendment to the Position Authorization Resolution 2014-96 adding two (2)Fire Inspector positions
to the FFD and two (2) Fire Inspector positions to DARM.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Following the City Council meeting on July 8,2014,in which options were discussed regarding
proposed changes to the City’s Fire Inspection Program,staff was directed to return to Council within
the next 60 days with proposed changes to the program that would include,at a minimum,the
implementation of an SIP for non-state mandated inspections,moving residential fire sprinkler
inspection duties to DARM,reallocate other state mandated inspections (e.g.,apartment complexes)
to Fresno Firefighters and reduce the number of Fire Inspector positions by six (two vacant positions
and four full-time active positions).
After further review staff is recommending revisions to the City’s Fire Inspection Program that meet
the overall intent of the Council’s direction.The implementation of this plan is scheduled to begin
prior to October 1,2014,during which time staff will evaluate the overall effectiveness of the
proposed changes and will report back to Council within the next six months regarding compliance
and if any additional changes to the program are warranted.
BACKGROUND
FFD has evaluated the number of inspections that are currently being performed,as well as the
effectiveness of various fire departments (Santa Maria,Upland,San Diego,Sacramento City,and
Sacramento Metro)who have already implemented an SIP.The following recommendations are
consistent with California Fire Code and are intended to strike a balance between the importance of
conducting annual fire and life safety inspections and the needs of property owners,who by nature of
the business and/or activity, pose a higher risk to the health and safety of the community.
Once implemented,10 FTE (Fire Inspector II’s and/or Senior Fire Inspector)will be needed to
support the Community Risk Reduction Division (CRRD).Of the six (6)FFD Inspector positions
impacted in the FY15 budget,two existing Fire Inspectors slated for deletion would be retained by
FFD to perform non-state mandated high-risk occupancy inspections and continue to maintain the
current timelines for commercial construction appointments.Two existing Fire Inspectors slated for
deletion will be reassigned and funded by DARM,and these two positions will continue to perform
residential fire inspections as well as begin cross training Building Inspectors so they too can conduct
these types of inspections in the future.Two vacant Fire Inspector positions will be eliminated,
maintaining a General Fund savings of $132,600.The reassignment and elimination of two Fire
Inspectors will reduce the number of Fire Inspectors assigned to the CRRD by four.
In FY14,the total number of fire and life safety inspections completed was 5,375.Also,10,654
occupancy classes were not inspected due to the reduction in staffing.It is anticipated in FY15
through these recommended changes,4,766 fire and life safety inspections will be conducted by FFD
personnel,with 2,376 of those assigned to the firefighting force and 2,390 completed by FFD Fire
Inspectors.
In addition to those inspections performed by staff,FFD will be implementing a new SIP with the goal
of 11,939 non-state mandated fire inspections being performed.While the current compliance rate
for inspections conducted by Fire Inspectors is 85-90 percent,the SIP program anticipates a 70
City of Fresno Printed on 12/15/2022Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-247 Agenda Date:8/21/2014 Agenda #:
for inspections conducted by Fire Inspectors is 85-90 percent,the SIP program anticipates a 70
percent compliance rate during the first year due to the newness of the program.
Based on the recommended changes, it is anticipated the following will occur:
·513 state mandated fire and life safety inspections,inspected by Fire Inspectors,will
continue to be conducted as required by the California Fire Code (Table 1 attached)
·2,376 state mandated apartment complex fire and life safety inspections will be
performed by Fresno Firefighters (Table 1)
·1,877 high-risk non-state mandated fire and life safety inspections annually by Fire
Inspectors would continue (see Table 2 for details on occupancy type)
·11,939 non-state mandated fire and life safety inspections would be conducted through
the implementation of the proposed SIP (Table 3)
·New commercial construction appointments and plan reviews will be conducted by the
Fire Department and will remain at nine business days or less
·2,738 residential fire sprinkler construction inspections would move to DARM (along
with two Fire Inspectors)with cross training of building inspectors occurring over the next
year (Table 4)
Self-Inspection Implementation Schedule
Prior to the implementation of the proposed SIP,FFD will conduct a series of meetings with various
stakeholders such as the Fresno Chamber of Commerce,Apartment Owner’s Association,Hispanic
and Black Chambers of Commerce,and the BIA,in an effort to educate businesses and property
owners on the new program. This outreach effort will be completed by October 1, 2014.
Furthermore,staff has reached out to four major insurance companies in an effort to secure an
insurance inspection/life safety form (State Farm,Fireman’s Fund,Global Risk Consultants,FM
Global).
Staff will continue to research the use of the insurance inspection form,but has included as part of
the SIP checklist,that property owners provide FFD with a copy of their insurance form.Additional
changes to the program may be implemented once FFD has had an opportunity to evaluate whether
the form used by insurance companies duplicates many of the requirements contained in the
attached SIP form.
In conclusion, it is recommended the following changes be implemented beginning October 1, 2014:
·Letters to 11,939 businesses who qualify for the one-year self-inspection pilot program
will be mailed.It is our goal to meet 70 percent compliance by educating them on a new
fire and life safety self-inspection pilot program,which will include SIP instructions,forms,
online filing options,and phone support.Two attempts,through mailings,will be
City of Fresno Printed on 12/15/2022Page 3 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-247 Agenda Date:8/21/2014 Agenda #:
implemented to gain compliance with businesses participating in the SIP.
·FFD will continue to review and process all fire sprinkler plans and send them to DARM
within nine days.Responsibility for scheduling,permitting,and inspection of residential fire
sprinkler systems will reside with DARM (two Fire Inspectors reassigned).
·Apartment fire and life safety inspections will be assigned to Fresno Firefighters for
completion. The data entry component will be completed at FFD headquarters.
·Staff will return to Council in February/March 2015 with an audit of program,
implementation results, and offer further revisions/recommendations for consideration.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
N/A
LOCAL PREFERENCE
N/A - Local preference does not affect the outcome of this Council item.
FISCAL IMPACT
With a reduction of Fire Inspectors and proposed alternative inspection program outlined above,the
fiscal impacts are:
·The elimination of two Fire Inspector II unfilled vacancies saved $132,600 in the General
Fund.Retaining two Fire Inspector I/II’s positions in the FFD will be funded through the
collection of inspection fees for high-risk,non-state mandated occupancies.In addition,two
Fire Inspectors will be reassigned and funded by DARM,maintaining a savings to the Fire
Department budget of $162,000.

Dear Business Owner/Manager:
In an effort to better serve our community, the Fresno Fire Community Risk Reduction
Division has implemented a one year pilot fire and life safety Self-Inspection Program
(SIP). This program is designed for the general business that has a “low-hazard”
potential for fire and life safety concerns as defined by the California Fire Code and
adopted by the State of California. At this time, the program has no fees associated to
the business.
The SIP will allow “low-hazard” businesses to be self-inspected by the business owner
or manager on a 12-month inspection cycle. The intent of this program is to allow you
to identify and eliminate common fire and life safety hazards. We encourage you to
maintain a fire-safe environment for your employees and customers.
In order to make the pilot SIP successful, we have made it user-friendly. By following
the simple instructions and using the self-inspection worksheet, you will be able to
conduct a fire and life safety inspection of your building. If you have any questions or
need help with your self-inspection, the Fire Department is available to answer
questions by email at Fire-Prevention@fresno.gov. You may reach staff to assist you at
(559) 621-4181.
Complete and return the attached form within the next 30 days (see attached
directions). To ensure accuracy we will update your emergency contact information
currently on file. By providing us with current confidential information, it will be made
available to the 911 communication center so you can be notified in the event of an
emergency at your business. This provides you with the earliest possible notification,
assisting you in restoring your business operations as soon as possible.
Finally, it is our understanding that your insurance company conducts on-site
inspections annually. Pl ease submit a copy of those inspection records (particularly
those related to fire and life safety) within 30 days, along with your self-inspection form.
With your support and cooperation, we can make a safer community for those that visit,
live, or operate businesses in Fresno.
Sincerely,
Timothy V. Henry
Deputy Fire Chief
“To protect and put service above all else.”

fence along the south side of Herndon Avenue.To facilitate Herndon Avenue widening and
construction of the multi-purpose trail,staff has negotiated a common use agreement with FID.This
agreement has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
BACKGROUND
In recent years the City of Fresno has experienced rapid growth causing an increase in the number
of congestion problems throughout the City.Per the City’s 2025 General Plan,Herndon Avenue is
to be widened to six lanes from State Route 99 to Willow Avenue.The City has been widening
Herndon Avenue as funding becomes available.The Measure ‘C’Regional Transportation Program
includes Project K-5b to widen Herndon Avenue from four lanes to six lanes from Brawley Avenue to
Valentine Avenue.To maximize the Measure ‘C’funds,staff applied for and received Federal
Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP)funds.On August 25,2011,Council approved a
consultant agreement with Provost and Pritchard Engineering Group Inc.to prepare the plans and
specifications for the project.
Construction documents and specifications were prepared and a Notice Inviting Bids was published
in the Business Journal on June 20,2014,and posted on the City’s website.Advertising efforts
resulted in the participation of thirteen Prime prospective bidders.Ultimately,nine sealed bid
proposals were received and opened in a public bid opening on July 22,2014,with the bids ranging
from $1,689,986 to $2,093,523.
Emmett’s Excavation Inc.,of Fresno California,submitted the lowest bid in the amount of
$1,689,986 and is considered the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.Staff recommends
award of a construction contract to Emmett’s Excavation Inc.in the amount of $1,689,986 to widen
Herndon Avenue from Brawley Avenue to Valentine Avenue and to authorize the Public Works
Director, or his designee, to sign and execute the standardized contract on behalf of the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS

assessment is necessary.The City previously prepared an Initial Study and determined that this is a
subsequent project fully within the scope of the Master Environmental Impact Report No.10130/SCH
No.2001071097 prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan (“MEIR”)and Mitigated Negative
Declaration No.A-09-02/SCH No.2009051016 (“Air Quality MND”).A Finding of Conformity was
adopted by Council on February 28, 2013.
An analysis has been performed pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15162 to determine whether
subsequent environmental review is required for this project.Based upon this analysis,no
subsequent environmental review is required as:

acquire, resulting from the construction or alteration of existing facilities or the construction or
alteration of additional facilities by either District or City which causes damage to or
unreasonable interference with the use of the A¡ea of Common Use by the other party.

RESOLUTION NO. __________
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRESNO, CALIFORNIA,
MAKING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION NO. 2014-108 ENTITLED “A
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRESNO ESTABLISHING
RULES FOR THE APPLICATION OF CITY EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION RATES
AND SCHEDULES AND RELATED REQUIREMENTS, AND ESTABLISHING
COMPENSATION RATES AND SCHEDULES FOR FY 2015”
RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of Fresno, as follows:
SECTION 1. – SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLASSES
The rules set forth in this resolution constitute special provisions applicable to all classes of
employment in the City service; provided, however, that if any provisions of a Memorandum of
Understanding (hereafter “MOU”) or Terms and Conditions of employment (hereafter “T & C”)
adopted and approved by the Council under Article 6, Chapter 3 of the Fresno Municipal Code
(hereafter “FMC”) and currently in effect is clearly and specifically in conflict with any rule
contained in this resolution, the provision in such MOU or T & C shall prevail.
SECTION 2. – SALARY STEP PLAN
The step plan of each salary range shall be applied and interpreted as follows for permanent
and probationary employees appointed to permanent positions, unless modified by applicable
MOU:
A. The first step shall be the minimum rate and shall normally be the hiring rate for the
class. In a case where it is difficult to secure a qualified person or if a person of unusual
qualifications is engaged, the City Manager or his/her designee, after receiving the
recommendation of the Director of Personnel Services, may approve appointment
above the first step.
B. The second step shall be paid upon the completion of six (6) months of paid status at
the first step.
C. The third step shall be paid upon the completio n of one (1) year of service at the second
step.
D. The fourth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at the third
step.
E. The fifth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at the fourth step.
F. The sixth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at the fifth step.
G. Unless modified by applicable MOU, employees who are reinstated in accordance with
FMC Section 3-292, who were not at the top step prior to layoff or demotion, will be
credited with paid time previously worked at the step at time of layoff or demotion. The
next step increase date will be adjusted accordingly upon reinstatement. Any time
missed due to mandatory furloughs shall count as paid time.
SEE APPENDIX FOR FOOTNOTES Page 1.1
H. Unless modified by applicable MOU, raises to the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth
steps shall be automatic unless an unsatisfactory performance evaluation is made by
the appointing authority. Following an unsatisfactory performance evaluation, a raise
may be delayed by the appointing authority for not more than six (6) months and more
than six (6) months only with approval of the City Manager or his/her designee. A raise
to any step may be made at any time by the City Manager or his/her designee on
recommendation of the appointing authority and the Director of Personnel Services
whenever an employee exhibits unusual merit. Six (6) months of service equals 1,040
hours of service, and one (1) year of service equals 2,080 hours of service , except that
where employees work a 56-hour work week, six (6) months of service equals 1,456
hours of service, and one (1) year of services equals 2,912 hours of service.
I. 1. Unless modified by applicable MOU, an employee who is selected to fill a
reclassified position pursuant to FMC Section 3-209 (b), or who is promoted from
one class to another having a higher salary range, shall be adjusted to the lowest
step in the salary range of the new class, which is at least three and one-half
percent (3.5%) higher than the rate received in the employee’s former class. If
such an increase would require a payment greater than the highest step, then the
highest step shall be paid.
2. An employee in Exhibit 7 who is appointed to a position in a class having a salary
range shall be promoted according to the foregoing provisions to the nearest
step, but not exceeding the top step, in the new class range after adding five
percent (5%) to the employee’s salary rate.
J. When a class is assigned a new salary range, the salary of an employee in such class
shall be adjusted to the same relative step in the new salary range, and such
adjustment shall not alter the employee’s anniversary date.
K. A permanent employee, filling a position in a higher class on a temporary basis, and
who is entitled to the rate of pay for such higher class, shall be paid in the same manner
as provided for promotion in Subsection I above.
L. If an employee is receiving compensation above the highest step of the range, the
employee’s present rate shall be continued as an approved additional step rate f or the
class (“Y-rated”), but no other employee may be adjusted to this rate, and it shall no
longer be in effect after the termination of the employment in that class of the incumbent
on whose behalf it is authorized.
M. Step increases shall become effective immediately upon completion of required service.
For purposes of this section, any employee who is absent without pay for the number of
hours specified below while on any single step in a range shall not be considered to
have been on paid status for the number of weeks shown, and advancement to the next
step shall be delayed by such number of weeks:
SEE APPENDIX FOR FOOTNOTES Page 1.1
At least But less than Weeks delayed
1 hour 40 hours None
40 hours 120 hours 2
120 hours 200 hours 4
200 hours 280 hours 6
280 hours 360 hours 8
360 hours 440 hours 10
For purposes of this section, leave without pay, in reference to step advancement, shall
be adjusted appropriately for 56-hour employees:
At least But less than Weeks delayed
1 hour 56 hours None
56 hours 168 hours 2
168 hours 280 hours 4
280 hours 392 hours 6
The number of additional weeks by which advancement to the next step shall be
delayed shall be calculated in the same manner as those respective formulas specified
herein. Such delay shall cause a change in the employee’s anniversary date, for
purposes of future step increases in the class.
N. Transfer to a new classification in which no salary change occurs shall result in a new
anniversary date upon which advancement to the next step shall be calculated .
O. In lieu of a Salary Step Plan, an Executive Pay Range Plan for certain classes is set
forth in Exhibit 2.
1. For purposes of calculating retirement benefits for any employee retired from one
of the classes in the Executive Pay Range Plan prior to the effective date of the
Executive Pay Range Plan, the highest step for the class shall be equal to the
control point as established by these rules and regulations.
The D, C, B, and A steps shall be five percent (5%) below the respective
preceding steps. In those classifications for which an “F” step exists, the “F” step
for the class shall be equal to the control point as established by these rules and
regulations. The E, D, C, B, and A steps shall be five percent (5%) below the
respective preceding steps unless modified by the respective MOU.
2. The salary for each executive employee in the E1 through E12 executive pay
ranges and the salary range for each class within such ranges shall be
established by the City Manager or his/her designee, except for those ranges
established by an MOU.
SEE APPENDIX FOR FOOTNOTES Page 1.1
The City Manager or his/her designee shall promulgate such rules and
regulations deemed appropriate in the implementation and administration of this
subsection.
3. For purposes of calculating retirement benefits for any employee in a class in t he
Executive Pay Range Plan who has left City service after five (5) years of
service, but prior to attaining an age sufficient for service retirement, and who
has elected to leave contributions in the retirement system, retirement benefits
shall be calculated as follows:
The employee’s salary at the time of separation from employment with the City
shall be compared to the control point in existence at the time of separation for
the class from which the employee is retiring. Retirement benefits (based on
monthly salary only) shall be calculated using the same relationship the
employee’s salary bore to the control point at the time of separation as it would
bear to the control point at the time of retirement. As an example only, if an
employee’s salary at the time of separation was five percent (5%) below the
control point for the class, then the benefit at retirement would be based on that
amount, which would be five percent (5%) below the control point for that class at
the time of retirement, subject to the applicable provisions of the retirement
system regarding years of service, compensation earnable, and so on.
P. After any permanent employee holding a position in Exhibit 2 has completed ten (10) full
working days of service in a higher class pursuant to one or more such assignments,
the employee shall thereafter be paid at the rate of pay of the higher class while so
assigned. An employee who has held permanent status in the higher class prior to such
assignment shall not be required to complete the qualifying period of service set forth
above and shall be paid for the entire duration of the assignment to the higher class at
the rate of pay assigned to such higher class.
Except where provided herein, temporary assignment to perform the duties of absent
employees shall be in accordance with FMC Section 3-260.
SECTION 3. – MONTHLY RATES OF PAY
Rates of pay provided for by a resolution establishing or approving such salaries are fixed on
the basis of dollars per month or full-time service in full-time positions unless otherwise clearly
indicated. Salaries shown are the base rate of pay for each respective job classification.
SECTION 4. – EXEMPT JOB CLASSES
Employees in classes listed in any salary resolution or approved MOU whose job codes are
marked with a small “e” shall not be entitled to payment or compensatory time off for overtime
as provided for in the rules and regulations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (hereafter
“FLSA”).
In accordance with the rules and regulations of the F LSA, the base salary of exempt
employees shall not be reduced due to variations in the quality or quantity of the work
performed. Deductions from the salary of exempt employees are allowed only for those
certain circumstances which are set forth in the applicable FLSA regulations.
SEE APPENDIX FOR FOOTNOTES Page 1.1
Employees exempt from overtime shall not be subject to deductions for Leave Without Pay in
increments of less than a work day or shift. Employees with qualified medical restrictions may
be temporarily placed on a part-time basis and will receive the pro-rated salary during the time
of restriction.
SECTION 5. – WAGES AND OVERTIME FOR TEMPORARY AND PART -TIME EMPLOYEES
Temporary and part-time employees shall be paid on an hourly basis for the hours actually
worked, subject to the provisions of Section 4 above and/or the FLSA, which provides for
overtime compensation for hours worked in excess of 40 per workweek. Any such employee
in a class having a monthly salary rate shall be paid an hourly rate that is converted from the
monthly salary for that class.
SECTION 6. – FLEXIBLE STAFFING
An employee holding a permanent appointment in a position in any class in a group of classes
designated as flexibly staffed may be appointed to a higher class in that group, provided that
the employee meets the minimum requirements and the department director recommends
such appointment. Such appointments may be made without regard to the number of
positions listed for that class in the Position Authorization Resolution of the current budget,
provided that the number of employees assigned to all classes in the group is authorized in the
Position Authorization Resolution of the budget.

each shift so worked.
SEE APPENDIX FOR FOOTNOTES Page 1.1
SECTION 19. – SPLIT SHIFT PAY
Each employee who holds a permanent appointment to a position in a class listed in an exhibit
attached to this resolution, except any member of a class marked with a small “e,” a Bus

shift in excess of nine (9) hours, shall be paid $1.00 per hour for each shift so worked.
SECTION 20. – BENEFITS FOR FULL-TIME PERMANENT EMPLOYEES OCCUPYING CLASSES
IN EXHIBIT 2
A. Effective September 1, 2014, the City’s contribution towards employee health insurance
is 75 percent of the premium established by the Fresno City Employees Health and
Welfare Trust Board, and the employee may opt to contribute the amount necessary to
make up the difference through payroll deductions, or accept a reduced coverage
option.
The cost of any future increases in the health and welfare premium will be shared on a
fifty percent (50%) basis by the City and employees, except that employees will be
required to pay no more than thirty percent (30%) of the premium established by the
Fresno City Employees Health and Welfare Trust Board. At such time as the employee
share is set at 30 percent, the City shall pay seventy percent (70%).
Should any represented bargaining unit in the City negotiate a successor MOU, or
extend the period of an MOU, or have terms imposed resulting in a greater contribution
by the City (including maintenance of percentage contributions) the City will match that
benefit.
B. Benefits, including City contributions to deferred compensation, vehicle allowance,
relocation expenses, and other such negotiated items, shall not be calculated as part of
the base salary or salary ranges.
C. Pay for performance bonuses for exempt employees shall be considered pensionable
compensation for calculation of retirement benefits, but shall not be included as part of
the base salary or salary ranges.
D. Employees in Unit 2 who are in job classes with a salary range between E6 and E12 are
eligible to receive up to fifty dollars ($50) per month into the City Sponsored Deferred
Compensation plan. Employees not currently participating in the plan will be required to
complete a Participation Agreement.
E. Permanent employees in Unit 2 hired on or after August 31, 2014, shall make an
additional contribution equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of their pensionable
compensation to the City of Fresno Employees Retirement System, reducing the City
contribution by a corresponding amount. In accordance with Internal Revenue Code
Section 414(h)(2) and related guidance, the City shall pick-up and pay the contribution
by salary reduction in accordance with this provision to the City of Fresno Employees
Retirement System. The employee shall have no option to receive the one and one -half
percent (1.5%) contribution in cash. The one and one -half percent (1.5%) contribution
paid by the employee will not be credited to an employee’s accumulated contribution
SEE APPENDIX FOR FOOTNOTES Page 1.1
account, nor will it be deposited into a member’s Deferred Retirement Option Program
(“DROP”) account.
F. The City currently maintains a HRA (HRA) that qualifies as a “health reimbursement
arrangement” as described in Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Notice 2002 -45 and other
guidance published by the IRS regarding HRA’s.
At separation from permanent employment with the City of Fresno by service reti rement
or at a disability retirement if the employee is otherwise eligible for service retirement,
employees who have used 80 hours or less of frozen sick leave and/or annual leave
used for sick time and/or sick leave and/or vacation leave used for sick ti me (excluding
only hours used for Workers’ Compensation benefits) in the 24 months preceding their
date of retirement, will be credited with an account for the employee under the HRA to
be used solely to pay premiums for medical insurance (including COBRA premiums).
The “value” of the account shall be determined as follows:
• The number of accumulated supplemental sick leave hours at the time of
retirement multiplied by the employee's then current hourly base rate of pay.
• For those with annual leave, the number of accumulated frozen sick leave hours
in excess of 240 hours at the time of retirement multiplied by 40 percent of the
employee’s then current hourly base rate of pay.
• For those with vacation/sick leave, the number of accumulated sick leave hours
in excess of 240 hours at the time of retirement multiplied by 40 percent of the
employee’s then current hourly base rate of pay.
• The hourly base rate of pay shall be the equivalent of the monthly salary for an
employee as reflected in the applicable Exhibit, multiplied by 12 months then
divided by 2,080 hours.
The accounts may be book accounts only - or cash accounts at the City’s option. No
actual trust account shall be established for any employee. Each HRA book account
shall be credited on a monthly basis with a rate of earnings equal to the yield on the
City's Investment Portfolio (provided that such yield is positive).
The HRA accounts shall be used solely to pay premiums for medical insurance
(including COBRA premiums) covering the participant, the participant's spouse (or
surviving spouse in the event of the death of the participant), and the participant's
dependents. Once a participant's account under the HRA has been reduced to $0, no
further benefits shall be payable by the HRA. If the participant, the participant's spouse,
and the participant's dependents die before the participant's account under the HRA has
been reduced to $0, no death benefit shall be payable to any person by the HRA.
While this provision is in effect, eligible employees shall not be allowed to cash out any
accumulated or accrued supplemental sick leave or frozen sick leave or sick leave at
retirement.
G. On September 15, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011 -193, which
began the imposition of a salary concession effective September 5, 2011, on employees
holding positions listed in Exhibit 2 of the Salary Resolution (FY12 salary concessions).
SEE APPENDIX FOR FOOTNOTES Page 1.1
Employees in Exhibit 2 impacted by FY12 salary concessions will be held harmless with
respect to DROP and retirement calculations, including calculations impacting members
who separate from City employment and elect a deferred vested status.
Employer and employee retirement contributions will continue to be calculated based on
the unadjusted, pre-concessions salary/hourly rate.
Employee leave payoffs at separation will be calculated using the unadjusted, pre -
concessions salary/hourly rate, including those leave payoffs used to calculate credit to
the employee’s HRA at retirement.
This section shall also be applied retroactively to those employees who separated from
City employment on or after July 1, 2012.
SECTION 21. – BENEFITS FOR PERMANENT EMPLOYEES IN EXHIBIT 8 AND PERMANENT
PART-TIME AND PERMANENT INTERMITTENT EMPLOYEES
A. Benefits for the Police Cadet series shall be as follows:
1. Police Cadet is a training series and is designed to ultimately lead to appointment
to a permanent position in the Police Department. Failure to successfully
complete the on-going training program will be cause for termination pursuant to
FMC 3-266.
2. Upon appointment to a permanent position, time served as a Police Cadet I and
II shall not be included in calculating an employee’s period of continuous service
for the purposes of seniority, retirement benefits, leave accruals, or othe r
benefits.
3. Workers’ Compensation Benefits shall be those amounts established by the
Workers’ Compensation regulations of California State Law.
4. Police Cadets shall be provided with Social Security benefits and shall not be
members of the Fresno City Employees’ Retirement System as they are
employed principally for the purpose of training.
5. Actual hours worked in excess of 40 hours a week shall be compensated as
overtime. Overtime shall be at one and one-half (1.5) times the base rate of pay.
6. Fringe benefits for employees in permanent positions in the Cadet series will be
determined by the City Manager or authorized designee.
B. Benefits for Permanent Intermittent (hereafter “PI”) and Permanent Part-Time (hereafter
“PPT”) employees shall be as follows:

a. The City shall contribute toward the premium required by the Fresno City
Employees Health and Welfare Trust, an amount of money on behalf of
the employee in proportion to the number of hours scheduled for that
SEE APPENDIX FOR FOOTNOTES Page 1.1
position, as reflected in the adopted budget. The City shall make such
contribution only on the condition that the employee agrees to contribute
to the Fresno City Employees Health and Welfare Trust the difference
between such City contribution and the amount required by the Trus t for
the level of benefits provided. If the employee does not so agree, then the
City shall make no contribution for Health and Welfare for such employee.
Election to pay such difference shall be made within 30 days of
appointment.
b. An employee who declines to participate in the health plan at employment
may elect to participate each year thereafter during the annual open
enrollment period or within 30 days from the day of a qualified change in
status. Participation at any time shall be done by deduc tion from the
employee’s paycheck.
2. PI employees shall be provided with Social Security benefits and shall not be
members of the Fresno City Employees’ Retirement System. Until the
Retirement Board acts upon the joint recommendation regarding retirement
benefits applicable to PPT employees, and any ordinances or resolutions are
adopted implementing that action, PPT employees shall not be in the City
retirement system and shall be provided with Social Security benefits.
3. Workers’ Compensation Benefits for PI and PPT employees shall be those
amounts established by the Workers’ Compensation regulations of California
State Law.
4. PI and PPT employees shall be paid for jury duty attendance and court
attendance in accordance with FMC Sections 3-109 and 3-110.
5. Holidays
a. PI employees shall accumulate holiday leave at the rate of seven and one-
thirds (7 1/3) hours for each 173 hours of non-overtime work.
b. PPT employees shall receive paid leave for holidays in proportion to the
number of non-overtime hours scheduled for that position, as reflected in
the adopted budget.
6. Leave for PPT Employees in Exhibit 2
PPT employees appointed to positions in classes, which are included in Exhibit
2, shall be granted leave under the same terms and conditions as full time
employees in Exhibit 2, except that such leave shall be at a rate proportionate to
a permanent full time employee occupying the same class, according to the
number of hours scheduled to work.
SECTION 22. – SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR DEPLOYED MILITARY EMPLOYEES
The City of Fresno will extend salary and benefits to permanent City employees while they are
serving in active military duty on deployments of more than thirty -one (31) days as the result of
the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict, as follows:
SEE APPENDIX FOR FOOTNOTES Page 1.1
A. Payment of the employee’s salary differential benefit;
B. Payment of the City’s portion of the employees’ Health and Welfare Contribution, if the
employee is currently covered by the City of Fresno Health & Welfare Trust; and
C. Continued accrual of vacation, sick leave, annual leave and/or administrative leave
balances to which they are otherwise entitled by unit designation and employee status
during the period of deployment.
SECTION 23. – UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
In any case where, by reason of unusual circumstances, rigid adherence to the foregoing rules
would cause a manifest injustice, the City Manager, on recommendation of the appropriate
appointing authority and the Director of Personnel Services, may make such order deviating
therefrom, as is in the City Manager’s judgment, proper to mitigate the injustice.
SECTION 24. – SALARIES FOR EMPLOYEES IN EXHIBIT 2 WHILE ABSENT DUE TO INJURY IN

Notwithstanding the provisions of FMC Section 3-118, an employee in the unrepresented
management group who sustains an injury or illness in the course and scope of City
employment shall receive 66.67 % of average weekly earnings in the fifty-two weeks prior to
the injury from the City, beginning on the fourth calendar day of such absence and continui ng
thereafter, unless hospitalized on the first day for at least 24 hours or unless the absence
exceeds 14 calendar days, in which case the employee shall receive the 66.67 percent from
the first day. At the employee’s option, in the event that pay from the City is not provided
during the first three (3) days of absence due to injury, the employee may take frozen sick
leave for that period. Except as modified herein, the provisions of FMC Section 3-118 shall
apply. Should the State mandated workers’ compe nsation rate of payment be adjusted, the
City shall adjust the rate provided for in this Section accordingly.
SECTION 25. – CONFLICTING RESOLUTIONS
Resolution No. 2013-101, all amendments thereto, and all other resolutions or parts of
resolutions in conflict with this resolution except as such resolutions or parts thereof approve a
MOU, are hereby repealed.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRESNO
ESTABLISHING RULES FOR THE APPLICATION OF CITY EMPLOYEE
COMPENSATION RATES AND SCHEDULES AND RELATED
REQUIREMENTS, AND ESTABLISHING COMPENSATION RATES AND
SCHEDULES FOR FY14
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRESNO,
CALIFORNIA, MAKING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION
NO. 2014-108 ENTITLED “A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF FRESNO ESTABLISHING RULES FOR THE APPLICATION OF
CITY EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION RATES AND SCHEDULES AND
RELATED REQUIREMENTS, AND ESTABLISHING COMPENSATION
RATES AND SCHEDULES FOR FY 2015”
RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of Fresno, as follows:
SECTION 1. – SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLASSES
The rules set forth in this resolution constitute special provisions applicable to all
classes of employment in the City service; provided, however, that if any
provisions of a Memorandum of Understanding (hereafter “MOU”) or Terms and
Conditions of employment (hereafter “T & C”) adopted and approved by the
Council under Article 6, Chapter 3 of the Fresno Municipal Code (hereafter
“FMC”) and currently in effect is clearly and specifically in conflict with any rule
contained in this resolution, the provision in such MOUemorandum of
Understanding or T & C shall prevail.’
SECTION 2. – SALARY STEP PLAN
The step plan of each salary range shall be applied and interpreted as follows for
permanent and probationary employees appointed to permanent positions,
unless modified by applicable MOU:
A. The first step shall be the minimum rate and shall normally be the hiring
rate for the class. In a case where it is difficult to secure a qualified
person or if a person of unusual qualifications is engaged, the City
Manager or his/her designee, after receiving the recommendation of the
Director of Personnel Services, may approve appointment above the first
step.
B. The second step shall be paid upon the completion of six (6) months of
paid status at the first step.
C. The third step shall be paid upon the completion of one (1) year of service
at the second step.
Resolution No.

D. The fourth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at
the third step.
E. The fifth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at
the fourth step.
F. The sixth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at
the fifth step.
G. Unless modified by applicable MOU, employees who are reinstated in
accordance with FMC Section 3-292, who were not at the top step prior to
layoff or demotion, will be credited with paid time previously worked at the
step at time of layoff or demotion. The next step increase date will be
adjusted accordingly upon reinstatement. Any time missed due to
mandatory furloughs shall count as paid time.
H. Unless modified by applicable MOU, raises to the second, third, fourth,
fifth, and sixth steps shall be automatic unless an unsatisfactory
performance evaluation is made by the appointing authority. Following an
unsatisfactory performance evaluation, a raise may be delayed by the
appointing authority for not more than six (6) months and more than six (6)
months only with approval of the City Manager or his/her designee. A
raise to any step may be made at any time by the City Manager or his/her
designee on recommendation of the appointing authority and the Director
of Personnel Services whenever an employee exhibits unusual merit. Six
(6) months of service equals 1,040 hours of service, and one (1) year of
service equals 2,080 hours of service, except that where employees work
a 56-hour work week, six (6) months of service equals 1,456 hours of
service, and one (1) year of services equals 2,912 hours of service.
I. 1. Unless modified by applicable MOU, an employee who is selected
to fill a reclassified position pursuant to FMC Section 3-209 (b), or
who is promoted from one class to another having a higher salary
range, shall be adjusted to the lowest step in the salary range of the
new class, which is at least three and one-half percent (3.5%)
higher than the rate received in the employee’s former class. If
such an increase would require a payment greater than the highest
step, then the highest step shall be paid.
2. An employee in Exhibit 7 who is appointed to a position in a class
having a salary range shall be promoted according to the foregoing
provisions to the nearest step, but not exceeding the top step, in

the new class range after adding five percent (5%) to the
employee’s salary rate.
J. When a class is assigned a new salary range, the salary of an employee
in such class shall be adjusted to the same relative step in the new salary
range, and such adjustment shall not alter the employee’s anniversary
date.
K. A permanent employee, filling a position in a higher class on a temporary
basis, and who is entitled to the rate of pay for such higher class, shall be
paid in the same manner as provided for promotion in Subsection I above.
L. If an employee is receiving compensation above the highest step of the
range, the employee’s present rate shall be continued as an approved
additional step rate for the class (“Y-rated”), but no other employee may
be adjusted to this rate, and it shall no longer be in effect after the
termination of the employment in that class of the incumbent ion whose
behalf it is authorized.
M. Step increases shall become effective immediately upon completion of
required service. For purposes of this section, any employee who is
absent without pay for the number of hours specified below while on any
single step in a range shall not be considered to have been on paid status
for the number of weeks shown, and advancement to the next step shall
be delayed by such number of weeks:
At least But less than Weeks delayed
1 hour 40 hours None
40 hours 120 hours 2
120 hours 200 hours 4
200 hours 280 hours 6

The number of additional weeks by which advancement to the next step
shall be delayed shall be calculated in the same manner as those
respective formulas specified herein. Such delay shall cause a change in
the employee’s anniversary date, for purposes of future step increases in
the class.
N. Transfer to a new classification in which no salary change occurs shall
result in a new anniversary date upon which advancement to the next step
shall be calculated.
O. In lieu of a Salary Step Plan, an eExecutive Pay Range Plan for certain
classes is set forth in Exhibit 2, attached.
1. For purposes of calculating retirement benefits for any employee
retired from one of the classes in the Executive Pay Range Plan
prior to the effective date of the Executive Pay Range Plan, the
highest step for the class shall be equal to the control point as
established by these rules and regulations.
The D, C, B, and A steps shall be five percent (5%) below the
respective preceding steps. In those classifications for which an “F”
step exists, the “F” step for the class shall be equal to the control
point as established by these rules and regulations. The E, D, C,
B, and A steps shall be five percent (5%) below the respective
preceding steps unless modified by the respective MOU.
2. The salary for each executive employee in the E1 through E12, E2,
and E3 executive pay ranges and the salary range for each class
within such ranges shall be established by the City Manager or
his/her designee, except for those ranges established by an MOU.
The City Manager or his/her designee shall promulgate such rules
and regulations deemed appropriate in the implementation and
administration of this subsection.
3. For purposes of calculating retirement benefits for any employee in
a class in the Executive Pay Range Plan who has left City service

for service retirement, and who has elected to leave contributions in

Supersedes Original
the retirement system, retirement benefits shall be calculated as
follows:
The employee’s salary at the time of separation from employment
with the City shall be compared to the control point in existence at
the time of separation for the class from which the employee is
retiring. Retirement benefits (based on monthly salary only) shall
be calculated using the same relationship the employee’s salary
bore to the control point at the time of separation as it would bear to
the control point at the time of retirement. As an example only, if an
employee’s salary at the time of separation was five percent (5%)
below the control point for the class, then the benefit at retirement
would be based on that amount, which would be five percent (5%)
below the control point for that class at the time of retirement,
subject to the applicable provisions of the retirement system
regarding years of service, compensation earnable, and so on.
P. After any permanent employee holding a position in Exhibit 2 has
completed ten (10) full working days of service in a higher class pursuant
to one or more such assignments, the employee shall thereafter be paid at
the rate of pay of the higher class while so assigned. An employee who
has held permanent status in the higher class prior to such assignment
shall not be required to complete the qualifying period of service set forth
above and shall be paid for the entire duration of the assignment to the
higher class at the rate of pay assigned to such higher class.
Except where provided herein, temporary assignment to perform the
duties of absent employees shall be in accordance with FMCresno
Municipal Code Section 3-260.
SECTION 3. – MONTHLY RATES OF PAY
Rates of pay provided for by a resolution establishing or approving such salaries

NO. 2014-108 ENTITLED “A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF FRESNO ESTABLISHING RULES FOR THE APPLICATION OF
CITY EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION RATES AND SCHEDULES AND
RELATED REQUIREMENTS, AND ESTABLISHING COMPENSATION
RATES AND SCHEDULES FOR FY 2015”
RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of Fresno, as follows:
SECTION 1. – SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLASSES
The rules set forth in this resolution constitute special provisions applicable to all
classes of employment in the City service; provided, however, that if any
provisions of a Memorandum of Understanding (hereafter “MOU”) or Terms and
Conditions of employment (hereafter “T & C”) adopted and approved by the
Council under Article 6, Chapter 3 of the Fresno Municipal Code (hereafter
“FMC”) and currently in effect is clearly and specifically in conflict with any rule
contained in this resolution, the provision in such MOU or T & C shall prevail.
SECTION 2. – SALARY STEP PLAN
The step plan of each salary range shall be applied and interpreted as follows for
permanent and probationary employees appointed to permanent positions,
unless modified by applicable MOU:
A. The first step shall be the minimum rate and shall normally be the hiring
rate for the class. In a case where it is difficult to secure a qualified
person or if a person of unusual qualifications is engaged, the City
Manager or his/her designee, after receiving the recommendation of the
Director of Personnel Services, may approve appointment above the first
step.
B. The second step shall be paid upon the completion of six (6) months of
paid status at the first step.
C. The third step shall be paid upon the completion of one (1) year of service
at the second step.
D. The fourth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at
the third step.

E. The fifth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at
the fourth step.
F. The sixth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at
the fifth step.
G. Unless modified by applicable MOU, employees who are reinstated in
accordance with FMC Section 3-292, who were not at the top step prior to
layoff or demotion, will be credited with paid time previously worked at the
step at time of layoff or demotion. The next step increase date will be
adjusted accordingly upon reinstatement. Any time missed due to
mandatory furloughs shall count as paid time.
H. Unless modified by applicable MOU, raises to the second, third, fourth,
fifth, and sixth steps shall be automatic unless an unsatisfactory
performance evaluation is made by the appointing authority. Following an
unsatisfactory performance evaluation, a raise may be delayed by the
appointing authority for not more than six (6) months and more than six (6)
months only with approval of the City Manager or his/her designee. A
raise to any step may be made at any time by the City Manager or his/her
designee on recommendation of the appointing authority and the Director
of Personnel Services whenever an employee exhibits unusual merit. Six
(6) months of service equals 1,040 hours of service, and one (1) year of
service equals 2,080 hours of service, except that where employees work
a 56-hour work week, six (6) months of service equals 1,456 hours of
service, and one (1) year of services equals 2,912 hours of service.
I. 1. Unless modified by applicable MOU, an employee who is selected
to fill a reclassified position pursuant to FMC Section 3-209 (b), or
who is promoted from one class to another having a higher salary
range, shall be adjusted to the lowest step in the salary range of the
new class, which is at least three and one-half percent (3.5%)
higher than the rate received in the employee’s former class. If
such an increase would require a payment greater than the highest
step, then the highest step shall be paid.
2. An employee in Exhibit 7 who is appointed to a position in a class
having a salary range shall be promoted according to the foregoing
provisions to the nearest step, but not exceeding the top step, in
the new class range after adding five percent (5%) to the
employee’s salary rate.
J. When a class is assigned a new salary range, the salary of an employee
in such class shall be adjusted to the same relative step in the new salary
8/25/14 First Council Amendment

Resolution No.
FY15 Salary Resolution
Page 3
range, and such adjustment shall not alter the employee’s anniversary
date.
K. A permanent employee, filling a position in a higher class on a temporary
basis, and who is entitled to the rate of pay for such higher class, shall be
paid in the same manner as provided for promotion in Subsection I above.
L. If an employee is receiving compensation above the highest step of the
range, the employee’s present rate shall be continued as an approved
additional step rate for the class (“Y-rated”), but no other employee may
be adjusted to this rate, and it shall no longer be in effect after the
termination of the employment in that class of the incumbent on whose
behalf it is authorized.
M. Step increases shall become effective immediately upon completion of
required service. For purposes of this section, any employee who is
absent without pay for the number of hours specified below while on any
single step in a range shall not be considered to have been on paid status
for the number of weeks shown, and advancement to the next step shall
be delayed by such number of weeks:
At least But less than Weeks delayed
1 hour 40 hours None
40 hours 120 hours 2
120 hours 200 hours 4
200 hours 280 hours 6
280 hours 360 hours 8
360 hours 440 hours 10
For purposes of this section, leave without pay, in reference to step
advancement, shall be adjusted appropriately for 56-hour employees:
At least But less than Weeks delayed
1 hour 56 hours None
56 hours 168 hours 2
168 hours 280 hours 4
280 hours 392 hours 6
8/25/14 First Council Amendment
Supersedes Original
Resolution No.
FY15 Salary Resolution
Page 4
The number of additional weeks by which advancement to the next step
shall be delayed shall be calculated in the same manner as those
respective formulas specified herein. Such delay shall cause a change in
the employee’s anniversary date, for purposes of future step increases in
the class.
N. Transfer to a new classification in which no salary change occurs shall
result in a new anniversary date upon which advancement to the next step
shall be calculated.
O. In lieu of a Salary Step Plan, an Executive Pay Range Plan for certain
classes is set forth in Exhibit 2.
1. For purposes of calculating retirement benefits for any employee
retired from one of the classes in the Executive Pay Range Plan
prior to the effective date of the Executive Pay Range Plan, the
highest step for the class shall be equal to the control point as
established by these rules and regulations.
The D, C, B, and A steps shall be five percent (5%) below the
respective preceding steps. In those classifications for which an “F”
step exists, the “F” step for the class shall be equal to the control
point as established by these rules and regulations. The E, D, C,
B, and A steps shall be five percent (5%) below the respective
preceding steps unless modified by the respective MOU.
2. The salary for each executive employee in the E1 through E12
executive pay ranges and the salary range for each class within
such ranges shall be established by the City Manager or his/her
designee, except for those ranges established by an MOU.
The City Manager or his/her designee shall promulgate such rules
and regulations deemed appropriate in the implementation and
administration of this subsection.
3. For purposes of calculating retirement benefits for any employee in
a class in the Executive Pay Range Plan who has left City service
after five (5) years of service, but prior to attaining an age sufficient
for service retirement, and who has elected to leave contributions in
the retirement system, retirement benefits shall be calculated as
follows:
The employee’s salary at the time of separation from employment
with the City shall be compared to the control point in existence at
the time of separation for the class from which the employee is
retiring. Retirement benefits (based on monthly salary only) shall
be calculated using the same relationship the employee’s salary
8/25/14 First Council Amendment
Supersedes Original
Resolution No.
FY15 Salary Resolution
Page 5
bore to the control point at the time of separation as it would bear to
the control point at the time of retirement. As an example only, if an
employee’s salary at the time of separation was five percent (5%)
below the control point for the class, then the benefit at retirement
would be based on that amount, which would be five percent (5%)
below the control point for that class at the time of retirement,
subject to the applicable provisions of the retirement system
regarding years of service, compensation earnable, and so on.
P. After any permanent employee holding a position in Exhibit 2 has
completed ten (10) full working days of service in a higher class pursuant
to one or more such assignments, the employee shall thereafter be paid at
the rate of pay of the higher class while so assigned. An employee who
has held permanent status in the higher class prior to such assignment
shall not be required to complete the qualifying period of service set forth
above and shall be paid for the entire duration of the assignment to the
higher class at the rate of pay assigned to such higher class.
Except where provided herein, temporary assignment to perform the
duties of absent employees shall be in accordance with FMC Section
3-260.
SECTION 3. – MONTHLY RATES OF PAY
Rates of pay provided for by a resolution establishing or approving such salaries
are fixed on the basis of dollars per month or full-time service in full-time
positions unless otherwise clearly indicated. Salaries shown are the base rate of
pay for each respective job classification.
SECTION 4. – EXEMPT JOB CLASSES
Employees in classes listed in any salary resolution or approved MOU whose job
codes are marked with a small “e” shall not be entitled to payment or
compensatory time off for overtime as provided for in the rules and regulations of
the Fair Labor Standards Act (hereafter “FLSA”).
In accordance with the rules and regulations of the FLSA, the base salary of
exempt employees shall not be reduced due to variations in the quality or
quantity of the work performed. Deductions from the salary of exempt
employees are allowed only for those certain circumstances which are set forth in
the applicable FLSA regulations.
Employees exempt from overtime shall not be subject to deductions for Leave
Without Pay in increments of less than a work day or shift. Employees with
qualified medical restrictions may be temporarily placed on a part-time basis and
will receive the pro-rated salary during the time of restriction.
8/25/14 First Council Amendment

Resolution No.

SECTION 5. – WAGES AND OVERTIME FOR TEMPORARY AND PART-TIME
EMPLOYEES
Temporary and part-time employees shall be paid on an hourly basis for the
hours actually worked, subject to the provisions of Section 4 above and/or the
FLSA, which provides for overtime compensation for hours worked in excess of
40 per workweek. Any such employee in a class having a monthly salary rate
shall be paid an hourly rate that is converted from the monthly salary for that
class.
SECTION 6. – FLEXIBLE STAFFING
An employee holding a permanent appointment in a position in any class in a
group of classes designated as flexibly staffed may be appointed to a higher
class in that group, provided that the employee meets the minimum requirements
and the department director recommends such appointment. Such
appointments may be made without regard to the number of positions listed for
that class in the Position Authorization Resolution of the current budget, provided
that the number of employees assigned to all classes in the group is authorized
in the Position Authorization Resolution of the budget.
SECTION 7. – ALTERNATE WORK SCHEDULE FOR EMPLOYEES IN EXHIBIT 2
A 4/10 or 9/80 work schedule may be implemented in any department, division,
or work unit, upon approval of the City Manager.
Each 4/10 work schedule will consist of a total of 40 scheduled hours of actual
work time per work week. The work week begins at 12:01 a.m. Monday and
ends at Midnight on Sunday.
Each 9/80 work schedule will consist of eight 9-hour shifts, one 8-hour shift, and
one day off per 14-day period broken down into two 40-hour per week FLSA
work weeks. All employees working a 9/80 work schedule shall have an FLSA
work week, which begins four (4) hours after the start time of the day of the
week, which constitutes the employee’s alternating day off. This shall be an 8-
hour shift. The work week shall end exactly 168 hours later.
Employees working a 4/10 or 9/80 work schedule shall have the following
exceptions for the holiday benefit apply:

eight (8) hours of holiday leave.
B. For employees participating in the Annual Leave Plan, the following rules
shall apply:

leave per month as under a 5/8 plan. Annual leave will be granted
for the actual number of hours absent.
C. For employees not participating in the Annual Leave Plan, the following

number of accumulated sick leave balances in excess of 240 hours at the
time of retirement multiplied by 40 percent of the employee’s then current

2014, the accumulation of unused annual leave will not
exceed 1,200 hours for employees in the E1, E2, and E3
ranges; 1,000 hours for employees in the E4 range; and 840

bargaining group, which is not covered by annual leave may
either cash out his or her unused annual leave balance at his
or her applicable base rate of pay, or have the unused
annual leave balance converted to a non-accruing annual
leave balance of hours. The conversion is obtained by
multiplying unused annual leave hours by the applicable
class’s base rate of pay (converted to an hourly figure),
dividing the product by the transfer class’s base rate of pay
(converted to an hourly figure), and placing the resulting

sick leave balances may only be used by the employee for a
medically verified extended illness over 24 consecutive work
hours.

retirement if the employee is otherwise eligible for service
retirement, employees who meet the eligibility criteria in

accumulated frozen sick leave balances in excess of 240
hours at the time of retirement multiplied by (40%) of the
Conversion example:
100 unused hrs x $15.00 (base rate) = 75 hrs placed in non-accruing

employees may be assigned to any incident or investigation requiring their
bilingual skills, and may be required to prepare written reports related to

SECTION 18. – SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL PAY
Unless modified by applicable MOU, each employee not represented by a
recognized employee organization who is required to work a night shift where at
least four (4) or more hours worked occur after 5:00 p.m. and before 8:00 a.m.,
shall be paid an additional $1.00 for each shift so worked.
SECTION 19. – SPLIT SHIFT PAY
Each employee who holds a permanent appointment to a position in a class
listed in an exhibit attached to this resolution, except any member of a class
marked with a small “e,” a Bus Driver, or a uniformed member of the Fire or

hours, shall be paid $1.00 per hour for each shift so worked.
SECTION 20. – BENEFITS FOR FULL-TIME PERMANENT EMPLOYEES
OCCUPYING CLASSES IN EXHIBIT 2
A. Effective September 1, 2014, the City’s contribution towards employee
health insurance is 75 percent of the premium established by the Fresno
City Employees Health and Welfare Trust Board, and the employee may
opt to contribute the amount necessary to make up the difference through
payroll deductions, or accept a reduced coverage option.
The cost of any future increases in the health and welfare premium will be
shared on a fifty percent (50%) basis by the City and employees, except
that employees will be required to pay no more than thirty percent (30%)
of the premium established by the Fresno City Employees Health and
Welfare Trust Board. At such time as the employee share is set at 30
percent, the City shall pay seventy percent (70%).
Should any represented bargaining unit in the City negotiate a successor
MOU, or extend the period of an MOU, or have terms imposed resulting in
a greater contribution by the City (including maintenance of percentage
contributions) the City will match that benefit.
8/25/14 First Council Amendment
Supersedes Original
Resolution No.
FY15 Salary Resolution
Page 17
B. Benefits, including City contributions to deferred compensation, vehicle
allowance, relocation expenses, and other such negotiated items, shall not
be calculated as part of the base salary or salary ranges.
C. Pay for performance bonuses for exempt employees shall be considered
pensionable compensation for calculation of retirement benefits, but shall
not be included as part of the base salary or salary ranges.
D. Employees in Unit 2 who are in job classes with salary ranges E6 through
E12 are eligible to receive up to fifty dollars ($50) per month into the City
Sponsored Deferred Compensation plan. Employees not currently
participating in the plan will be required to complete a Participation
Agreement.
E. Permanent employees in Unit 2 hired on or after August 31, 2014, shall
make an additional contribution equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%)
of their pensionable compensation to the City of Fresno Employees
Retirement System, reducing the City contribution by a corresponding
amount. In accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 414(h)(2) and
related guidance, the City shall pick-up and pay the contribution by salary
reduction in accordance with this provision to the City of Fresno
Employees Retirement System. The employee shall have no option to
receive the one and one-half percent (1.5%) contribution in cash. The one
and one-half percent (1.5%) contribution paid by the employee will not be
credited to an employee’s accumulated contribution account, nor will it be
deposited into a member’s Deferred Retirement Option Program (“DROP”)
account.
F. The City currently maintains a HRA (HRA) that qualifies as a “health
reimbursement arrangement” as described in Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) Notice 2002-45 and other guidance published by the IRS regarding
HRA’s.
At separation from permanent employment with the City of Fresno by
service retirement or at a disability retirement if the employee is otherwise
eligible for service retirement, employees who have used 80 hours or less
of frozen sick leave and/or annual leave used for sick time and/or sick
leave and/or vacation leave used for sick time (excluding only hours used
for Workers’ Compensation benefits) in the 24 months preceding their
date of retirement, will be credited with an account for the employee under
the HRA to be used solely to pay premiums for medical insurance
(including COBRA premiums). The “value” of the account shall be
determined as follows:
8/25/14 First Council Amendment
Supersedes Original
Resolution No.
FY15 Salary Resolution
Page 18
• The number of accumulated supplemental sick leave hours at the
time of retirement multiplied by the employee's then current hourly
base rate of pay.
• For those with annual leave, the number of accumulated frozen sick
leave hours in excess of 240 hours at the time of retirement
multiplied by 40 percent of the employee’s then current hourly base
rate of pay.
• For those with vacation/sick leave, the number of accumulated sick
leave hours in excess of 240 hours at the time of retirement
multiplied by 40 percent of the employee’s then current hourly base
rate of pay.
• The hourly base rate of pay shall be the equivalent of the monthly
salary for an employee as reflected in the applicable Exhibit,
multiplied by 12 months then divided by 2,080 hours.
The accounts may be book accounts only - or cash accounts at the City’s
option. No actual trust account shall be established for any employee.
Each HRA book account shall be credited on a monthly basis with a rate
of earnings equal to the yield on the City's Investment Portfolio (provided
that such yield is positive).
The HRA accounts shall be used solely to pay premiums for medical
insurance (including COBRA premiums) covering the participant, the
participant's spouse (or surviving spouse in the event of the death of the
participant), and the participant's dependents. Once a participant's
account under the HRA has been reduced to $0, no further benefits shall
be payable by the HRA. If the participant, the participant's spouse, and
the participant's dependents die before the participant's account under the
HRA has been reduced to $0, no death benefit shall be payable to any
person by the HRA.
While this provision is in effect, eligible employees shall not be allowed to
cash out any accumulated or accrued supplemental sick leave or frozen
sick leave or sick leave at retirement.
G. On September 15, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-
193, which began the imposition of a salary concession effective
September 5, 2011, on employees holding positions listed in Exhibit 2 of
the Salary Resolution (FY12 salary concessions).
Employees in Exhibit 2 impacted by FY12 salary concessions will be held
harmless with respect to DROP and retirement calculations, including
8/25/14 First Council Amendment

FY15 Salary Resolution
Page 19
calculations impacting members who separate from City employment and
elect a deferred vested status.
Employer and employee retirement contributions will continue to be
calculated based on the unadjusted, pre-concessions salary/hourly rate.
Employee leave payoffs at separation will be calculated using the
unadjusted, pre-concessions salary/hourly rate, including those leave
payoffs used to calculate credit to the employee’s HRA at retirement.
This section shall also be applied retroactively to those employees who
separated from City employment on or after July 1, 2012.
SECTION 21. – BENEFITS FOR PERMANENT EMPLOYEES IN EXHIBIT 8 AND
PERMANENT PART-TIME AND PERMANENT INTERMITTENT EMPLOYEES
A. Benefits for the Police Cadet series shall be as follows:
1. Police Cadet is a training series and is designed to ultimately lead
to appointment to a permanent position in the Police Department.
Failure to successfully complete the on-going training program will
be cause for termination pursuant to FMC 3-266.
2. Upon appointment to a permanent position, time served as a Police
Cadet I and II shall not be included in calculating an employee’s
period of continuous service for the purposes of seniority,
retirement benefits, leave accruals, or other benefits.
3. Workers’ Compensation Benefits shall be those amounts
established by the Workers’ Compensation regulations of California
State Law.
4. Police Cadets shall be provided with Social Security benefits and
shall not be members of the Fresno City Employees’ Retirement
System as they are employed principally for the purpose of training.
5. Actual hours worked in excess of 40 hours a week shall be
compensated as overtime. Overtime shall be at one and one-half
(1.5) times the base rate of pay.
6. Fringe benefits for employees in permanent positions in the Cadet
series will be determined by the City Manager or authorized
designee.
8/25/14 First Council Amendment

B. Benefits for Permanent Intermittent (hereafter “PI”) and Permanent Part-
Time (hereafter “PPT”) employees shall be as follows:
1. Health and Welfare
a. The City shall contribute toward the premium required by the
Fresno City Employees Health and Welfare Trust, an
amount of money on behalf of the employee in proportion to
the number of hours scheduled for that position, as reflected
in the adopted budget. The City shall make such
contribution only on the condition that the employee agrees
to contribute to the Fresno City Employees Health and
Welfare Trust the difference between such City contribution
and the amount required by the Trust for the level of benefits
provided. If the employee does not so agree, then the City
shall make no contribution for Health and Welfare for such
employee. Election to pay such difference shall be made
within 30 days of appointment.
b. An employee who declines to participate in the health plan at
employment may elect to participate each year thereafter
during the annual open enrollment period or within 30 days
from the day of a qualified change in status. Participation at
any time shall be done by deduction from the employee’s
paycheck.
2. PI employees shall be provided with Social Security benefits and
shall not be members of the Fresno City Employees’ Retirement
System. Until the Retirement Board acts upon the joint
recommendation regarding retirement benefits applicable to PPT
employees, and any ordinances or resolutions are adopted
implementing that action, PPT employees shall not be in the City
retirement system and shall be provided with Social Security
benefits.
3. Workers’ Compensation Benefits for PI and PPT employees shall
be those amounts established by the Workers’ Compensation
regulations of California State Law.
4. PI and PPT employees shall be paid for jury duty attendance and
court attendance in accordance with FMC Sections 3-109 and 3-
110.
8/25/14 First Council Amendment

5. Holidays
a. PI employees shall accumulate holiday leave at the rate of
seven and one-thirds (7 1/3) hours for each 173 hours of
non-overtime work.
b. PPT employees shall receive paid leave for holidays in
proportion to the number of non-overtime hours scheduled
for that position, as reflected in the adopted budget.
6. Leave for PPT Employees in Exhibit 2
PPT employees appointed to positions in classes, which are
included in Exhibit 2, shall be granted leave under the same terms
and conditions as full time employees in Exhibit 2, except that such
leave shall be at a rate proportionate to a permanent full time
employee occupying the same class, according to the number of
hours scheduled to work.
SECTION 22. – SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR DEPLOYED MILITARY EMPLOYEES
The City of Fresno will extend salary and benefits to permanent City employees
while they are serving in active military duty on deployments of more than thirty-
one (31) days as the result of the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict, as follows:
A. Payment of the employee’s salary differential benefit;
B. Payment of the City’s portion of the employees’ Health and Welfare
Contribution, if the employee is currently covered by the City of Fresno
Health & Welfare Trust; and
C. Continued accrual of vacation, sick leave, annual leave and/or
administrative leave balances to which they are otherwise entitled by unit
designation and employee status during the period of deployment.
SECTION 23. – UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
In any case where, by reason of unusual circumstances, rigid adherence to the
foregoing rules would cause a manifest injustice, the City Manager, on
recommendation of the appropriate appointing authority and the Director of
Personnel Services, may make such order deviating therefrom, as is in the City
Manager’s judgment, proper to mitigate the injustice.

SECTION 24. – SALARIES FOR EMPLOYEES IN EXHIBIT 2 WHILE ABSENT DUE
TO INJURY IN THE LINE OF DUTY
Notwithstanding the provisions of FMC Section 3-118, an employee in the
unrepresented management group who sustains an injury or illness in the course
and scope of City employment shall receive 66.67 % of average weekly earnings
in the fifty-two weeks prior to the injury from the City, beginning on the fourth
calendar day of such absence and continuing thereafter, unless hospitalized on
the first day for at least 24 hours or unless the absence exceeds 14 calendar
days, in which case the employee shall receive the 66.67 percent from the first
day. At the employee’s option, in the event that pay from the City is not provided
during the first three (3) days of absence due to injury, the employee may take
frozen sick leave for that period. Except as modified herein, the provisions of
FMC Section 3-118 shall apply. Should the State mandated workers’
compensation rate of payment be adjusted, the City shall adjust the rate provided
for in this Section accordingly.

SCHEDULES FOR FY14
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRESNO,
CALIFORNIA, MAKING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION
NO. 2014-108 ENTITLED “A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF FRESNO ESTABLISHING RULES FOR THE APPLICATION OF
CITY EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION RATES AND SCHEDULES AND
RELATED REQUIREMENTS, AND ESTABLISHING COMPENSATION
RATES AND SCHEDULES FOR FY 2015”
RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of Fresno, as follows:
SECTION 1. – SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLASSES
The rules set forth in this resolution constitute special provisions applicable to all
classes of employment in the City service; provided, however, that if any
provisions of a Memorandum of Understanding (hereafter “MOU”) or Terms and
Conditions of employment (hereafter “T & C”) adopted and approved by the
Council under Article 6, Chapter 3 of the Fresno Municipal Code (hereafter
“FMC”) and currently in effect is clearly and specifically in conflict with any rule
contained in this resolution, the provision in such MOUemorandum of
Understanding or T & C shall prevail.’
SECTION 2. – SALARY STEP PLAN
The step plan of each salary range shall be applied and interpreted as follows for
permanent and probationary employees appointed to permanent positions,
unless modified by applicable MOU:
A. The first step shall be the minimum rate and shall normally be the hiring
rate for the class. In a case where it is difficult to secure a qualified
person or if a person of unusual qualifications is engaged, the City
Manager or his/her designee, after receiving the recommendation of the
Director of Personnel Services, may approve appointment above the first
step.
B. The second step shall be paid upon the completion of six (6) months of
paid status at the first step.
C. The third step shall be paid upon the completion of one (1) year of service
at the second step.
8/25/14 First Council Amendment
Supersedes Original
Resolution No.
FY15 Salary Resolution
Page 2
D. The fourth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at
the third step.
E. The fifth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at
the fourth step.
F. The sixth step shall be paid upon completion of one (1) year of service at
the fifth step.
G. Unless modified by applicable MOU, employees who are reinstated in
accordance with FMC Section 3-292, who were not at the top step prior to
layoff or demotion, will be credited with paid time previously worked at the
step at time of layoff or demotion. The next step increase date will be
adjusted accordingly upon reinstatement. Any time missed due to
mandatory furloughs shall count as paid time.
H. Unless modified by applicable MOU, raises to the second, third, fourth,
fifth, and sixth steps shall be automatic unless an unsatisfactory
performance evaluation is made by the appointing authority. Following an
unsatisfactory performance evaluation, a raise may be delayed by the
appointing authority for not more than six (6) months and more than six (6)
months only with approval of the City Manager or his/her designee. A
raise to any step may be made at any time by the City Manager or his/her
designee on recommendation of the appointing authority and the Director
of Personnel Services whenever an employee exhibits unusual merit. Six
(6) months of service equals 1,040 hours of service, and one (1) year of
service equals 2,080 hours of service, except that where employees work
a 56-hour work week, six (6) months of service equals 1,456 hours of
service, and one (1) year of services equals 2,912 hours of service.
I. 1. Unless modified by applicable MOU, an employee who is selected
to fill a reclassified position pursuant to FMC Section 3-209 (b), or
who is promoted from one class to another having a higher salary
range, shall be adjusted to the lowest step in the salary range of the
new class, which is at least three and one-half percent (3.5%)
higher than the rate received in the employee’s former class. If
such an increase would require a payment greater than the highest
step, then the highest step shall be paid.
2. An employee in Exhibit 7 who is appointed to a position in a class
having a salary range shall be promoted according to the foregoing
provisions to the nearest step, but not exceeding the top step, in
8/25/14 First Council Amendment
Supersedes Original
Resolution No.
FY15 Salary Resolution
Page 3
the new class range after adding five percent (5%) to the
employee’s salary rate.
J. When a class is assigned a new salary range, the salary of an employee
in such class shall be adjusted to the same relative step in the new salary
range, and such adjustment shall not alter the employee’s anniversary
date.
K. A permanent employee, filling a position in a higher class on a temporary
basis, and who is entitled to the rate of pay for such higher class, shall be
paid in the same manner as provided for promotion in Subsection I above.
L. If an employee is receiving compensation above the highest step of the
range, the employee’s present rate shall be continued as an approved
additional step rate for the class (“Y-rated”), but no other employee may
be adjusted to this rate, and it shall no longer be in effect after the
termination of the employment in that class of the incumbent ion whose
behalf it is authorized.
M. Step increases shall become effective immediately upon completion of
required service. For purposes of this section, any employee who is
absent without pay for the number of hours specified below while on any
single step in a range shall not be considered to have been on paid status
for the number of weeks shown, and advancement to the next step shall
be delayed by such number of weeks:
At least But less than Weeks delayed
1 hour 40 hours None
40 hours 120 hours 2
120 hours 200 hours 4
200 hours 280 hours 6
280 hours 360 hours 8
360 hours 440 hours 10
For purposes of this section, leave without pay, in reference to step
advancement, shall be adjusted appropriately for 56-hour employees:

At least But less than Weeks delayed
1 hour 56 hours None
56 hours 168 hours 2
168 hours 280 hours 4
280 hours 392 hours 6
The number of additional weeks by which advancement to the next step
shall be delayed shall be calculated in the same manner as those
respective formulas specified herein. Such delay shall cause a change in
the employee’s anniversary date, for purposes of future step increases in
the class.
N. Transfer to a new classification in which no salary change occurs shall
result in a new anniversary date upon which advancement to the next step
shall be calculated.
O. In lieu of a Salary Step Plan, an eExecutive Pay Range Plan for certain
classes is set forth in Exhibit 2, attached.
1. For purposes of calculating retirement benefits for any employee
retired from one of the classes in the Executive Pay Range Plan
prior to the effective date of the Executive Pay Range Plan, the
highest step for the class shall be equal to the control point as
established by these rules and regulations.
The D, C, B, and A steps shall be five percent (5%) below the
respective preceding steps. In those classifications for which an “F”
step exists, the “F” step for the class shall be equal to the control
point as established by these rules and regulations. The E, D, C,
B, and A steps shall be five percent (5%) below the respective
preceding steps unless modified by the respective MOU.
2. The salary for each executive employee in the E1 through E12, E2,
and E3 executive pay ranges and the salary range for each class
within such ranges shall be established by the City Manager or
his/her designee, except for those ranges established by an MOU.
The City Manager or his/her designee shall promulgate such rules
and regulations deemed appropriate in the implementation and
administration of this subsection.

3. For purposes of calculating retirement benefits for any employee in
a class in the Executive Pay Range Plan who has left City service
after five (5) years of service, but prior to attaining an age sufficient
for service retirement, and who has elected to leave contributions in
the retirement system, retirement benefits shall be calculated as
follows:
The employee’s salary at the time of separation from employment
with the City shall be compared to the control point in existence at
the time of separation for the class from which the employee is
retiring. Retirement benefits (based on monthly salary only) shall
be calculated using the same relationship the employee’s salary
bore to the control point at the time of separation as it would bear to
the control point at the time of retirement. As an example only, if an
employee’s salary at the time of separation was five percent (5%)
below the control point for the class, then the benefit at retirement
would be based on that amount, which would be five percent (5%)
below the control point for that class at the time of retirement,
subject to the applicable provisions of the retirement system
regarding years of service, compensation earnable, and so on.
P. After any permanent employee holding a position in Exhibit 2 has
completed ten (10) full working days of service in a higher class pursuant
to one or more such assignments, the employee shall thereafter be paid at
the rate of pay of the higher class while so assigned. An employee who
has held permanent status in the higher class prior to such assignment
shall not be required to complete the qualifying period of service set forth
above and shall be paid for the entire duration of the assignment to the
higher class at the rate of pay assigned to such higher class.
Except where provided herein, temporary assignment to perform the
duties of absent employees shall be in accordance with FMCresno
Municipal Code Section 3-260.
SECTION 3. – MONTHLY RATES OF PAY
Rates of pay provided for by a resolution establishing or approving such salaries
are fixed on the basis of dollars per month or full-time service in full-time
positions unless otherwise clearly indicated. Salaries shown are the base rate of
pay for each respective job classification.
SECTION 4. – EXEMPT JOB CLASSES
Employees in classes listed in any salary resolution or approved
MOUemorandum of Understanding whose job codes are marked with a small “e”
shall not be entitled to payment or compensatory time off for overtime as

having a monthly salary rate shall be paid an hourly rate that is converted from
the monthly salary for that class.

group of classes designated as flexibly staffed may be appointed to a higher
class in that group, provided that the employee meets the minimum requirements
and the department director head recommends such appointment. Such

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
August 28, 2014
FROM:DOUGLAS T. SLOAN, City Attorney
City Attorney’s Office
BY:BRANDON M. COLLET, Deputy
City Attorney’s Office
SUBJECT
BILL -(For introduction)-Repealing and adding Section 4-111 of the Fresno Municipal Code relating
to Project Labor Agreements
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that City Council approve the ordinance repealing and adding Section 4-111 of the
Fresno Municipal Code (FMC)relating to Project Labor Agreements,if the City wants to remain
eligible to receive state funding or financial assistance for construction projects after December 31,
2014.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The ordinance repeals FMC section 4-111 prohibiting project labor agreements,and adds FMC
section 4-111 allowing City Council by majority vote to use,enter into or require contractors to enter
into a project labor agreement for construction projects on a project specific basis.The ordinance is
intended to comply with state law so that the City will remain eligible for state funding or financial
assistance on construction projects after December 31, 2014.
BACKGROUND
In March 2000,the City Council adopted FMC section 4-111 (formerly 3-109.2)prohibiting the City
from requiring a project labor agreement for any City public works project.
California Senate Bills 922 and 829 (“Senate Bills”)were signed into law in 2011 and 2012,adding
sections 2500-2503 to the Public Contract Code.Sections 2502 and 2503 require charter cities to
allow their governing boards to have the authority to consider the use of project labor agreements on
a project by project basis.Also,charter cities may not have a charter provision,ordinance or initiative
that prohibits,limits or constrains their governing board from adopting,requiring or utilizing a project

File #:ID#14-307 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
that prohibits,limits or constrains their governing board from adopting,requiring or utilizing a project
labor agreement for some or all construction projects awarded by the city.Charter cites have until
January 1,2015,to comply with Public Contract Code sections 2500 et seq.(“Section 2500”).If the
City does not repeal section 4-111 prohibiting project labor agreements and add section 4-111 that
complies with Section 2500,the City risks losing all state funding and financial assistance for
construction projects.The Senate Bills only require that a city’s governing board have the authority to
consider whether to use a project labor agreement on a project specific basis.On February 20,
2014,a lawsuit was filed challenging the constitutionality of the Senate Bills that is pending in the trial
court.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This is not a “project”for the purposes of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines,section 15378(b)(5),
as it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the
environment.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because this ordinance does not include a bid or award of a
construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
There may be a fiscal impact to the City,depending on the number of project labor agreements that
may be required by the Council and the cost increases or decreases associated with project labor
agreements.

being open 24 hours a day,being unable to be without water at specific times and so on,it has taken
more time for this project to be completed.Staff is requesting to extend the contract with Sharp
Inspection Group for additional inspection services.
BACKGROUND
Since 2009,the City Department of Public Utilities has been working diligently to get all of the
110,000 residences throughout the metropolitan area on water meters.This was due to the various
Senate bills requiring the City to be completely metered by January 2013 or face losing our Federal
water allotment. We completed the residential project in Fall 2012.
City staff has started retrofitting the remaining commercial manually read meters with the AMR
meters that the rest of the City is using.This means either upgrading or replacing the manually read
meters on our commercial customers.There are approximately 20,350 commercial meters to retrofit.
These meters run from 5/8”to 2”in size.The larger meters (above 2”)will be retrofitted by City staff.

These meters run from 5/8”to 2”in size.The larger meters (above 2”)will be retrofitted by City staff.
By doing this project,all water customers will have their water usage collected electronically.Also,
the utility service workers we currently employ will be able to assist in maintaining the new meter
inventory.
On July 26,2012,Council approved an agreement with Sharp Inspection Group,Inc.for construction
management services on the City of Fresno commercial water meter retrofit project.
On December 20,2012,Council approved the first amendment with Sharp Inspection Group for the
coverage of warranty issues and customers complaints on the residential meter project between the
end of the residential Construction Management contract (December 31,2012)with the prime
consultant Vali Cooper and Associates and the beginning of the Commercial Construction
Management contract with Sharp Inspection Group.Sharp Inspection Group has handled these
customer concerns since then under the commercial contract.
On February 28,2013,Council awarded a project to Vulcan Construction Inc.for the installation of
the commercial water meters sized 2” and below.
On October 29,2013,Council approved the second amendment to agreement with Sharp Inspection
Group to extend the original contract to September 1, 2014. No additional monies were requested.
Staff recommends the City Council approve the third amendment to agreement with Sharp Inspection
Group in the amount of $626,968 and extend the completion to April 27,2015 for the construction
management services on the City of Fresno commercial water meter retrofit project.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 the
award of this contract does not qualify as a “project”and is therefore exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not implemented because the amendment of a contract does not involve a bid
or the award of a construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funds for this contract exist in the current Water Enterprise Fund budget.

SUBJECT
* RESOLUTION of the Council of the City of Fresno Adopting the 2nd Amendment to the Annual
Appropriation Resolution No. 2014-95 to appropriate $900,000 in the 2010 Water Revenue Bond A-1
Fund for the Acquisition of Permanent Pipeline Right-of-Way Easement and Temporary Construction
Easements for the Construction of the Raw Water Pipeline from the Friant-Kern Canal to the
Northeast Surface Water Treatment Facility (requires 5 affirmative votes)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the Council of the City of Fresno adopting the 2nd Amendment to the Annual
Appropriation Resolution No. 2014-95.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Department of Public Utilities,Water Division,is finalizing the design of the Friant-Kern Raw
Water Pipeline to deliver raw water from the Friant-Kern Canal to the Northeast Surface Water
Treatment Facility (NESWTF).With bidding scheduled to begin in early 2015,acquisition of
easements for this pipeline project is necessary.Funding for this expenditure was included as part of
the FY 2014 Budget within the 2010 Water Revenue Bond A-1 Fund and it was estimated that the
funds would be spent last fiscal year.However,no payments were made for the easements during
FY 2014, so the funds are required to be carried over and appropriated for FY 2015.
BACKGROUND
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-279 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
Presently,the City's contracted delivery of surface water with the United States Bureau of
Reclamation (USBR)for Central Valley Project (CVP)travels nearly 55 miles in open canals from
Friant Dam (Millerton Lake)to the NESWTF.This water is susceptible to contamination from
environmental debris,and accidental or malicious acts.The proposed project consists of the
construction and operation of a 5.6-mile raw water pipeline (the first one-mile long segment of
pipeline extending north from the NESWTF was constructed in 2007)that reroutes the CVP water
directly to the NESWTF.This will eliminate nearly 47 miles from the conveyance distance and deliver
water in an enclosed system that will greatly reduce the threat to water quality.Additional benefits of
the project include reduced power consumption and chemical utilization,and increased operational
reliability at the NESWTF.Project construction is expected to start in early 2015.As the pipeline will
be constructed across numerous properties in unincorporated Fresno County,the acquisition of
numerous permanent pipeline right-of-way easement and temporary construction easements is
required.The funding for the acquisition payments was included in the FY 2014 Budget within the
2010 Water Revenue Bond A-1 Fund and it was estimated that the funds would be expended before
the end of the fiscal year.However,there were delays in securing required regulatory permits and
the expenditures were not made as planned in FY 2014,so the funds will need to be carried over to
the FY 2015 Amended Budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This is not a “project”for purposes of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4),as it is a government fiscal activity,and section 15378(b)(5),as it is
an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not implicated because no construction or services contract was awarded.
FISCAL IMPACT
This action will not have any impact to the General Fund or the Water Enterprise Fund.
Appropriations for the acquisition of these easements were included in the Division’s FY 2014 Capital
Improvement Program budget within the 2010 Water Revenue Bond A-1 Fund (40118).However,
this funding was not used in FY 2014 and is being reappropriated to FY 2015 through this action.
The debt service for these bonds was included in the 2006 rate plan adopted by Council on February
27,2007,and was carried forward in the rate plan adopted by the Council on August 15,2013,
through Resolution No. 2013-143.

annually based on the forecasted workload and support needs of the Water Division.Staff has
completed the negotiations with CH2MHILL for FY 2015,and the value of Amendment No.2 has
been established with a not-to-exceed value of $6,900,000.
BACKGROUND
The Water Division has developed recommended capital projects to provide a sustainable and
reliable water supply for the community;repair and replace aging infrastructure;and eliminate the
over drafting of the City’s groundwater resources by the year 2025.The recommended capital
projects are planned to be implemented throughout the City’s service area with the investment of
approximately $100 million per year.At this time,the Water Division does not have sufficient project
management processes and systems,or technical staff,to successfully deliver $100 million per year
of capital improvement projects.Accordingly,on October 31,2013,the City Council approved a three
-year professional consultant agreement (with the option of two one-year extensions)with CH2MHILL
to manage the projects required for the City’s Metro Plan and infrastructure rehabilitation and
replacement program.Collectively,the project management processes and systems being
developed by CH2MHILL will create a Capital Project Management Delivery System for the Water
Division.
The overall objective of the Capital Project Management Delivery System is to deliver high quality
capital projects on schedule and on budget for the community.The Capital Project Management
Delivery System will be developed by CH2MHILL in such a manner that it can be used by Water
Division staff in the future to deliver capital projects,and can be readily applied to capital projects in
the Wastewater Management Division as well as other Departments of the City that deliver capital
projects.
The base three-year Agreement has been planned to be implemented in the following sequence.
Year 1 (FY 2014):CH2MHILL staff worked with City staff to plan,design,build and test new project
management processes and systems to deliver capital projects for the Metro Plan and the
infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement program.In addition,CH2MHILL reviewed and
validated the City’s recommended capital projects,identified opportunities for capital cost savings,
and provided technical staff to provide project management support for current capital projects.
Year 1 activities are substantially complete,and CH2MHILL has successfully delivered the essential
building blocks of the Capital Project Management Delivery System.
The most critical project management processes and systems planned,designed,built and tested
during Year 1 include,but are not limited to,project management and administration;project
engineering and design management;project cost estimating;project scheduling (planning,
permitting,and design);project financial accounting,monitoring,and reporting;project document
control;project construction management and administration;permitting and land acquisition
management; and public outreach and education.
City Council appropriated $6,993,000 for Year 1 of the Program Management Services Agreement.
Year 2 (FY 2015):CH2MHILL staff will work with City staff to apply the new Capital Project
Management Delivery System for specific projects.For FY 2015,there are approximately 90 projects
that will be managed in the Water Division using the project management processes and systems
constructed during FY 2014.For FY 2015,the project management focuses for CH2MHILL staff and
City staff will be in the areas of project management and administration;engineering and design;City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-255 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
City staff will be in the areas of project management and administration;engineering and design;
permitting and land acquisition;project financial accounting,monitoring,and reporting;and public
education and outreach.There are several projects that have been,or will be,bid for construction
during FY 2015, but most of the construction activity is currently scheduled to occur during FY 2016.
City staff has negotiated a fee of $6,900,000 for Year 2 of the Program Management Services
Agreement.Amendment No.2 has been “approved to form”by the City Attorney’s Office,and is
ready for Council consideration.
Year 3 (FY 2016):CH2MHILL staff will work with City staff to continue to implement the Capital
Project Management Delivery System for specific projects.Similar to FY 2015,CH2MHILL staff and
City staff will apply learned project management techniques in the areas of project management and
administration;engineering and design;permitting and land acquisition;project financial accounting,
monitoring,and reporting;and public education and outreach.However,as currently planned,
several large capital projects will be bid for construction during FY 2016.Accordingly,during FY
2016,greater emphasis will be placed on applying project management skills in the areas of project
cost estimating;project scheduling (construction,startup and commissioning);project document
control; and project construction management and administration.
City staff will work with CH2MHILL to develop a workload forecast for Program Management Services
for FY 2016, and submit that to City Council for consideration in approximately May/June 2015.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Approval of the consultant service agreement amendment is not a “project”within the meaning of
Public Resources Code Section 21803 (CEQA Guidelines §15378)because the organizational and
administrative activities as identified in the consultant agreement will not result in direct or indirect
physical changes in the environment.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not implemented because this action pertains to an amendment of an existing
service contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amendment will not have any impact to the General Fund.Funds are included in Water
Division’s FY 2015 Capital Improvement Program budget within the Water Enterprise Fund (40101).
Funding for this project is not impacted by the City Council’s action to rescind the water rate increase
(Resolution 2013-143) on July 31, 2014.

The Program Management Plan (PMP) development has continued with all of
18 of the 22 sections now undergoing final internal (CH2M HILL) review by the
authors in preparation for final review with Water Division staff. This work
entailed research of the City’s processes for project management, construction
management, procurement and other City project delivery processes, which
have formed the basis for the Program processes that are detailed in the PMP.
Functional leads and program delivery experts then tailored processes to
enable efficient delivery by the entire Program team. One of the final efforts
underway is to ensure consistency in the programmatic approaches detailed in
all related sections.
Meetings with Water Division staff to can begin in late July. This version of
the PMP will then be finalized and uploaded to the Program Portal for ongoing
use by Program staff. The remaining four sections are closely tied to the major
guidelines and will be updated for review with staff following review of the
related guidelines.
02.02 - Project Mgmt Manual
Development
95% complete. Final draft
review in progress.
The draft Program Management Guideline (PM Guideline) is currently
undergoing final review by CH2M HILL PMT leadership. The PM Guideline is
based on the City’s Project Management Manual, principles presented in the
Project Management Institute publication, A Guide to Program Management
Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), proven project management processes utilized
on similarly complex programs. During this final review special attention will
be given to coordination with the PMP, Engineering Design Guideline, CM
Guideline, other Guidelines, and the Quality Management, Change
Management, and Risk management practices.
The guideline outlines the role and authority of the project manager including
interaction with the Program Management Office and other Program functions
and design consultants. The guideline also references City of Fresno policies
and procedures to provide project managers with all information required to
efficiently implement Program projects. Program templates, tools, and
reference material are included.
The Program’s 5 phases for project delivery, the 8 gate milestones, each with
requirements which must be met before proceeding with project
implementation. The tasks in the phases and gates were customized for the
Fresno Water Division CIP program.
Meetings held with Water Division staff can begin in late July to review and
obtain guidance on finalizing the PM Guideline. The document will be updated
after these meetings, and uploaded to the Program Portal for ongoing use by
the PMT.

Engineering and Design Guideline Development has progressed to draft status
ready for initial workshop review by Water Division staff. Guideline
development included research of existing City of Fresno DPU and Traffic
Division standard details and specifications, CAD drawing information, PM
Manual, and recent Water Division design projects issued out to bid. This
research was conducted to determine current level of detail, consistency in the
use of procedures and standards.
Guideline development started with a basic set of processes and tools
primarily pulled from the Orange County Sanitation District Engineering
Standards Manual and the City of New York Department of Environmental
Protection, Bureau of Engineering, Design and Construction Standard
Operating Policies and Procedures Manual. Additional reference resources
included Denver Water Board Engineering Standards, Eastern Municipal
Water District Engineering Standards; City of Rochester, NY Bureau of Water
Engineering Design Guidelines, Turlock Irrigation District Engineering
Standards, District of Columbia Water and Sewer Project Design Manual, and
the Loudoun Water, Loudoun County, Va. Engineering Design
Manual. Information from the existing City of Fresno DPU and Traffic Division
standards were incorporated or sited as reference material as applicable in
these Engineering and Design Guidelines.
During development, coordination sessions were held with authors of the PMP
Manual, Quality Guidelines, Change Management Guidelines, Construction
Management, and Permitting Guidelines to discuss overlap and integration of
procedures, approaches, roles, and responsibilities.
Placeholders have been included to insert hyperlinks to other guidelines once
the final guidelines project file location has been set. Placeholders are also
included for links to templates, checklists, standard details, CAD standards
instructions, and standard specifications.

Development
95% complete. Final draft
review in progress.
Construction Management Guideline development has progressed to draft
status, ready for initial workshop review by Water Division staff, and addresses
all elements of the construction phase except for Contract Closeout which is
still being prepared. The Guideline has been developed through compilation
and refinement of several existing Construction and Program Management
documents, original writing recognizing the specifics of the Program, the City’s
existing procedural guides (e.g., Standard Specifications, WIP Procurement
Handbook), and through discussions with the program team.
Activities have also included development of work processes and SharePoint
work flows for construction document communications. Standard forms,
checklists, and inspection guidelines have been assembled as appendices to
the Guideline. A standard template has been established for project level CM
Plans which are to be prepared by the project CM under the overarching
Program Guideline. Work is also progressing on standard periodic
reports. With the approach of construction activity, prioritized efforts on
electronic forms and work flow systems (meeting minutes, RFI, submittals,
transmittals, daily reports, and change management) have been a focused
effort with the Document Management and IT teams. Work flow testing is
anticipated for early August.
Current focus includes fine tuning the CM Guideline (e.g., inserting the
Program logo on forms, updating form content and format, finalizing references
within the Guideline text) and developing in earnest the draft element of
Contract Closeout. Further activities include process definition for payment
application (including work flow), non-conformance notices, and defective
work/punch list documentation.

02.05 - Project Validation
Development
99% complete. Final
modifications in progress.
To better enable the Water Division to budget projects included in the capital
improvement plan (CIP), a Project Validation (Validation) report was prepared.
The Validation Report included three main elements: 1) a definition of each
project included in the CIP, 2) a phase based schedule for each project, and 3)
an updated project cost estimate.
To better understand the scope and definition of each project, City staff were
interviewed and project related documents such as design contracts, design
documents, and construction contracts were collected. From this process,
lengths of pipe, depths of well, treatment processes, size of recharge basins,
and other project components were compiled to better define all projects.
Based on a clear understanding of the scope of the projects and working in
conjunction with City staff, a phased based schedule was developed for each
project. Activities were defined with durations and critical milestone dates for
all applicable phases including 1) Project Definition, 2) Schematic Design, 3)
Final Design and Bidding, 4) Construction and Commissioning, and 5)
Closeout.
Project level cost estimates were also developed including hard (construction)
costs, soft (engineering, project management, administration, etc.), and land
acquisition costs. Hard construction costs were developed using industry
standard unit costs, material quotes from suppliers and vendors, and
knowledge of the local contracting climate. Soft costs were applied based on
knowledge of how each project would be conducted and the level of effort
required. Land acquisition costs were generated based on recent purchases
by the City.
The combined project schedule and budget were used to developed cash flow
curves for each project. These schedules and budgets were also used to
develop a cash flow curve for the entire 10 year program. The Project
Validation Report summarizes the process used, the results, and provides the
Water Division with a programmatic approach of the plan to deliver the CIP
projects.

Program Controls Plan Development
Development of the Program Controls Plan (PCP) commenced after the
Program Initiation of Work. The plan included finalizing the preliminary WBS
(Work Breakdown Structure), developing preliminary project schedules and
control accounts as well as establishing program reporting protocols and
techniques.
Program Controls and PMIS (Program Management Information System)
workshops and meetings were held with the City in November. Discussion
points included PMIS implementation overview, sample program and project
reports, project controls monthly activity schedule/calendar, program controls
and PMIS training, future PMIS enhancements and preliminary financial data
processing.
The PCP was a key reference for development of sections in the Program
Management Plan (PMP). The PMP section on Program Controls
Management included development of program controls, roles and
responsibilities, program controls structures (including WBS), system and
integration, schedule management, cost management, baseline management,
earned value management, baseline change control and monthly update cycle.
The PMP section on Performance Monitoring and Reporting included reporting
hierarchy and structure, PMIS, external reporting, executive-level reports,
program-level reports, project level reports, ad-hoc reporting, reporting process
integration and reporting cycle.
P6 set-up
Primavera P6 version 8.3 is hosted on the Critigen EPPM (Enterprise Program
Performance Management) Cloud Portal. There are two P6 components; that
is P6 EPPM Web R8.3 and P6 Professional Client R8.3. User licenses have
been defined in the PMIS Implementation Plan for P6 web and professional. In
addition, administration rights for P6 users have been established.
All current CIP project schedules are maintained on a dedicated server
(‘FRSPMDB’), with testing and development, archive and template schedules
maintained on another server (‘FRSPMDB Sandbox’).
Initial Project Schedule and Cost Development
The preliminary project schedules were developed during October and
November 2013, and provided the P6 framework for CIP schedule and cost
development. The preliminary cash flow histogram was based on datasheets
from a 10 Year CIP Expenditure Summary.
Template schedules were then developed in December 2013 based on scope
and the Program WBS. Global P6 project codes and control accounts were
consistently applied across all templates. These templates were used to
develop project schedule along with dates and ETCs (Estimates to Complete)
provided by the CIP Validation team.
Further adjustments were made to project schedules during February 2014 as
further information became available. Actual costs and BRFs (Budget Request
Forms) were processed, with cost and schedule reports produced and
reviewed in preparation for Load Sheet submittals to Finance, with the final
version being completed on March 7th as planned.
Project schedules and costs were updated for the first time in May, using April
30th as the Data Date (progress cut-off date). The same update process was

performed for the May 31st Data Date. This has enabled further refinements to
schedule and cost data for several projects. It has also provided further
efficiencies to processing schedule and cost data as well as streamlined the
workflow for monthly updates. Currently, updated project schedules and costs
are being collated and processed for the June 30th Data Date.
Monthly Update Process Development
The monthly update process and program control calendar was initially
discussed with the City at workshops and meetings in November 2013. The
focus was on demonstrating the cyclic process of updating, analysis and
reporting as well as outlining the interfaces between Finance, Program
Controls and the Project Manager.
Further discussions with the City on the monthly update process took place in
April 2014 during Program Delivery Portal Training. This included updating
schedule progress, integrating updated actual costs from PeopleSoft,
reassessing project ETCs and EACs, investigating any positive or negative
variances, producing progress reports and uploading progress data to portal
dashboards.
The monthly update process and program control calendar have recently
undergone a revision to improve data processing efficiency. The individual
schedule, steps and cost reports are now issued as monthly update packs per
Project Manager. The steps report has been re-designed and the program
control calendar modified for improved schedule and cost data handling.
Loading of Data to Portal Dashboards
Preliminary testing and de-bugging of the process for loading of data to the
Portal Dashboards took place in April. Subsequent refinements to the process
were made to ensure that essential data preparation had been completed and
checked.
Following approval of schedule and cost reports for the current update (Data
Date: June 30th 2014), data from P6 and the Master Project List will be loaded
to the Portal Dashboards.
Monthly Update Activity
The Monthly Update Activity refers to the process that ultimately delivers data
to the Portal Dashboards. The process starts with Financial close-out, where
actual costs are captured in PeopleSoft and then transferred to datasheets for
loading actuals into P6. During this time, monthly update packs are issued to
Program Managers for schedule and steps updates. Progress updates and
analysis take place, followed by Project Manager review of ETC reports as well
as performance and trend analysis, corrective actions and reporting.

Document & Record Management Plan
Development of the Document & Record Management Plan commenced with
the collation and review of reference material. Preliminary discussions were
held in December 2013, which supported the development of a draft CIP
Document & Record Management Plan. The contents of the Plan included
Purpose, Scope, Applicability, Document Management Definition, Principles of
Document Management, Objectives, Requirements, Roles and
Responsibilities, Systems (SharePoint), SharePoint Procedures, Procedures
and Workflow, File Naming Convention, Metadata and Content Type, Version
Control, Internal Auditing, Document Management Requirements
(Construction Contractors), Document Security/Access Control, Closeout and
Archiving and Definitions. Further discussions were held from January through
April to modify and include further information into the Plan.
The CIP Document & Record Management Plan has been subsequently
revised to collate additional feedback and comments from other Program and
Document Management personnel. Conference calls were held in May to align
the Program Management Plan (PMP) with the latest Document & Record
Management Plan. The latest version is under review by the PMT (Program
Management Team).
Systems Development
Initial meetings were held in January and February to assess the proposed
systems for Document & Record Management. These discussions included
Critigen and Construction Management personnel. This was important in
establishing the system assessment, functionality and end user requirements.
In March, a detailed evaluation was carried out to review the key functions of
PCM (Primavera Contract Manager) that would be needed at program level.
The key functions included Meeting Minutes, RFIs, Transmittal Letters,
Submittals, Daily Inspection Reports, Punch Lists, Change Management and
Pay Applications.
Further discussions were held in April; confirming SharePoint as the selected
system. The objectives were to discuss Contractors’ access and training,
Recording and Tracking Communications, Meeting Minutes, Processing RFIs,
Submittals, Work Orders, Inspection Daily Reports, Punch Lists and Change
Management; all processed through SharePoint. The outcome included
several recommendations, such as; Project Information to be used by CM/DC
members, PMO to provide a training schedule for Contractors as CM requests
and specific Communication and Contract Information requirements.
Currently, forms and workflows are being developed by Critigen for processing
Construction documents for approval in SharePoint. Cost and schedule reports
are being maintained in SharePoint. The Program Delivery Portal is also linked
to SharePoint.
Training Materials Development
Training Materials Development is directly influenced by ongoing Systems
Development. During Systems Development, it was determined that all PMT
personnel would have access to SharePoint Training Materials and attend
scheduled training sessions for using SharePoint.

FROM:Marlene Murphey, Executive Director
Successor Agency
SUBJECT
Consider Property Disposition Guidelines of the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency to the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Fresno
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In accordance with AB 1484, the Successor Agency prepared a Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) that
has been approved by the Successor Agency and Oversight Board and is now under review by the Department of
Finance (DOF).
In the course of approving the LRPMP and preparing for property disposition under AB 1484 the Oversight Board has
requested disposition guidelines. Under the Dissolution Act, disposition is to occur expeditiously in a manner aimed at
maximizing value. The Disposition Guidelines have been developed to meet these objectives and set forth procedures in
a manner to allow for flexibility given the volume and diversity of real property assets.
The Guidelines set forth several disposition methods for use on a case by case basis. The disposition approaches
include: open market solicitation; request for offers to purchase including proposed development; and, auction. The Board
asked that the Guidelines include an auction process. It’s proposed that the auction process would be triggered if a
property has not received an offer to purchase or a proposal and/or the Successor Agency determines that it is infeasible
to market and dispose of a property via those methods.
The Guidelines set forth property preparation steps that require a third party appraisal for all properties with limited
exceptions. The right of first refusal by the City of Fresno for certain properties indicated in the LRPMP is also included in
the Guidelines.
The Department of Finance generally estimates review and approval of LRPMP’s to take about 90 to 120 days and larger
Plans are likely to take additional time. Agency staff has begun to order appraisals and expects to have that process
completed by the time the LRPMP is approved by DOF. Following LRPMP approval, each sale must be reviewed and
approved by DOF.

PROPERTY DISPOSITION GUIDELINES
Oversight Board of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Fresno
INTRODUCTION
On February 1, 2012, pursuant to AB x1 26 (Dissolution Act), the City of Fresno determined that it would
serve as the Successor Agency (SA) to the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Fresno. As part
of the wind-down of former redevelopment activities, the Successor Agency and Oversight Board are
required to dispose of certain property assets pursuant to AB 26 and AB 1484.
Under Section 34177(e) of the Dissolution Act, the Successor Agency is to dispose of assets and
properties "expeditiously and in a manner aimed at maximizing value." Given the large number of
properties in the Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP), it is important that the sale of
properties occurs in an orderly and strategic manner centered on objectives to maximize value and
prevent the re-establishment of blight. Based on these objectives, guidelines have been developed to
establish general policies and procedures in a manner to allow for flexibility in strategic, orderly property
disposition. Of the four permissible use categories outlined in AB 1484 (i.e. government use, enforceable
obligation, future development and for sale) the guidelines address For Sale properties as identified in the
in the LRPMP. Several disposition methods are set forth for consideration and use on a case-by-case
basis.
DISPOSITION GUIDELINES FOR SALE PROPERTIES
I. PROPERTY PREPARATION
Preliminary Title Reports: Preliminary title reports will be obtained to identify issues that
may affect the condition or marketability of title, such as easements, covenants, conditions
and restrictions, and outstanding liens.
Appraisals: Third-party appraisals will be obtained for properties except where size is less
than .10 and value estimated to be less than $10,000. Multiple parcels may be valued together
within a single appraisal to increase value, improve marketability and streamline resale. A
professional broker’s opinion may be obtained on parcels less than .10 of an acre and $10,000
in value.
Parcel Consolidation: In some instances, the Agency owns an area of contiguous land
comprised of multiple parcels that gain development feasibility and economic value by being
marketed together. In some cases, the individual Agency owned parcels are smaller than the
minimum lot size required for development and would benefit by consolidation with adjacent
Agency owned parcels. On a case-by-case basis, staff will evaluate the inventory and where
appropriate package parcels (the Property) for solicitation to improve marketability, increase
value and streamline the resale of the properties.
Environmental Reports: Preliminary environmental reports will be obtained to identify
environmental conditions that may affect the reuse or marketability of the property.
2
II. REMNANT PROPERTIES
In some instances there are isolated remnant parcels that have little or no marketable value
due to their size, location, condition and/or configuration that are costly to maintain and are
not acceptable to a government entity. These parcels will be offered to the adjacent owners on
terms that seek to maximize the consideration for transfer while incentivizing the adjacent
owners to receive such conveyance to avoid costs of maintenance, liability etc.
III. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
The City shall have a right of first refusal in connection with the purchase of certain property
indicated in the LRPMP. Such right of first refusal may be exercised by means of the City: (i)
notifying the Oversight Board of the City's intention to acquire the property for monetary
consideration in an amount not less than appraised value and equal to or greater than offers
received through solicitation process; and (ii) obtaining approval of such purchase by the

minimum lot size required for development and would benefit by consolidation with adjacent
Agency owned parcels. On a case-by-case basis, staff will evaluate the inventory and where
appropriate package parcels (the Property) for solicitation to improve marketability, increase
value and streamline the resale of the properties.
Environmental Reports: Preliminary environmental reports will be obtained to identify
environmental conditions that may affect the reuse or marketability of the property.

II. REMNANT PROPERTIES
In some instances there are isolated remnant parcels that have little or no marketable value
due to their size, location, condition and/or configuration that are costly to maintain and are
not acceptable to a government entity. These parcels will be offered to the adjacent owners on
terms that seek to maximize the consideration for transfer while incentivizing the adjacent
owners to receive such conveyance to avoid costs of maintenance, liability etc.
III. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
An environmental assessment initial study was prepared for this project in accordance with the
requirements of the CEQA Guidelines.This process included the distribution of requests for
comment 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 Edison Community Plan area,including the MEIR No.10130 for the 2025 Fresno
General Plan (SCH#2001071097)and 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 site plan review application 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

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 PRC 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 an MND 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 an MND for this project.A public notice of the attached
MND for Environmental Assessment Application No. S-13-047 was published on May 27, 2014.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
Project Description
Sean Odom of GMA Consulting Engineers and Architects, on behalf of McCall Pacific LLC, and
Brenntag Pacific Inc., filed Site Plan Review Application No. S-13-047 pertaining to approximately
11.22 acres of property located on the west side of North Hughes Avenue between West Nielson and
West Belmont Avenues.
Site Plan Review Application No. S-13-047 requests authorization to construct a 53,787 square foot
metal building to be used as a chemical warehouse (Brenntag Pacific Inc.), a portion of which will be
used as a 3,000 square foot shipping office and a 181 square foot front entry canopy, in addition to,
two detached storage canopies (2,000 and 2,500 square feet). The applicant also proposes to install
12 external storage tanks with their appropriate containment slabs. The subject site is zoned M-3 (
Heavy Industrial)and designated for heavy industrial planned land uses by the 2025 Fresno General
Plan and Edison Community Plan.
The proposed use, a chemical warehouse, is classified as warehousing and pursuant to Section 12-
228.1 of the Fresno Municipal Code, this use is permitted by right in the M-3 zone district, as well as,
the M-1 and M-2 zone districts. In addition, pursuant to Table 2 (Planned Land Use and Zone District
Consistency Matrix) of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and Section 12-403-B-1 (Zone District
Consistency Table) of the FMC the M-3 (Heavy Industrial) zone district is consistent with the Heavy
Industrial planned land use designation for the subject property.
Project History
The proposed project was originally submitted as a by-right use not requiring Planning Commission
review and approval.On December 2,2013,the Council District 3 Plan Implementation Committee
made a formal recommendation to deny Site Plan Review Application No.S-13-047 by a 4-0 vote.
More specifically,issues such as air quality,objectionable odors and wind,traffic congestion,
hazardous materials,on-site containment,industrial uses,and employment were brought up and
discussed as concerns.As a result,the project was forwarded to the Planning Commission for
further review.Section 12-406(C)states,“The Director,on his or her discretion and for good cause,
may refer the special permit to the Planning Commission for approval at a public hearing.”
In an effort to address issues and concerns and to better prepare for the Planning Commission

File #:ID#14-297 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
In an effort to address issues and concerns and to better prepare for the Planning Commission
meeting,the project applicant and representatives from Brenntag invited City staff and members of
District 3 to the existing Brenntag facility,located at 3595 E.Wawona Ave.in Malaga,on February
26,2014.This included a detailed project description,question and answer session,and site tour.A
variety of topics were discussed during the visit,including,Brenntag’s corporate history,site security,
chemical storage,hours of operation,projected growth,job creation,site alternatives,traffic,
emergency response and associated plans,proximity to airport zones and flight paths (i.e.,Airport
Protection Zones),containment (i.e.,within the building,rail car unloading,tanks and tanker load out
area, and the yard), local, state, and federal audits, and prior uses (i.e., cotton bailing facility).
On March 3,2014,the Council District 3 Plan Implementation Committee,at the applicant’s request,
discussed the project for a second time.This meeting included detailed discussion about Brenntag’s
discharge methods,location of flammables,proposed turning radius,employment impact and
diversity,issues pertaining to trespassing,fires,theft,and internal and external records of spills and
violations.The applicant responded to all areas of concern;whereas,the Council District 3 Plan
Implementation Committee reversed their original recommendation and recommended to approve
the project by a vote of 4-0.
A community meeting was held at Sunset Elementary School on March 4,2014,to discuss the
project and highlight Brenntag’s site tour and recent District 3 Committee recommendation to
approve the project.The applicant and representatives from Brenntag provided a project description
and discussed the “Cornerstone”of their company:“Safety First,Leadership &Accountability,
Employee Involvement &Leadership,and Commitment to Excellence,Continuous Improvement and
World Class Value Creation,”all of which serve as the foundation of Brenntag.The company was
founded as an egg wholesale operation in 1874 and started distributing chemical products in 1912.
Several members of the audience attended the site tour of February 26th and provided their insights
at the community meeting.This included the process itself,storage of materials,goals associated
with relocation (i.e.,storing products indoors),and how well organized and safety oriented Brenntag
appeared to be.Overall those who visited the site were impressed with the facility,and from a
general perspective,felt that the warehouse could be a positive addition;however,concerns were
evident and consist with those mentioned throughout the staff report.Other members of the
audience had questions related to chemical types,community impacts,job creation,proximity to
schools and residences,safety related issues,land use designations,and audits of the facility.The
applicant chose the proposed site for a variety of reasons but mainly because it was adjacent to rail
access and its central location to the areas the company serves.
On March 5,2014,the Planning Commission considered the project (S-13-047)and brought up a
variety of issues,including those concerns brought up during public and community meeting:Fire
risks,public notification,site security and safety,training,airport safety,proximity to fire stations,
chemicals housed,air quality involving airborne chemicals,spills and containment,hours of
operation,water quality and runoff,objectionable odors,traffic and circulation,transportation,
regulations,inspection,required permits,proximity to sensitive receptors (technical term used for
CEQA analysis), and alternative locations.
During the Planning Commission meeting Commissioners indicated that the MND did not adequately
address environmental issues related to the project (i.e.,air quality and hazards and hazardous
materials)and or issues and concerns brought up during the Planning Commission meeting.The
item was continued where it was further requested that staff revisit with the applicant and provideCity of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 5 of 17

File #:ID#14-297 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
item was continued where it was further requested that staff revisit with the applicant and provide
further analysis and mitigation measures specific to air quality and hazards and hazardous wastes.
On June 9,2014,Development &Resource Management staff held two informational meetings to
review and discuss the revised MND requested by the Planning Commission and community
concerns related to industrial land uses prevalent in Southwest Fresno.Staff discussed updates
made to the document (i.e.,air quality and hazards and hazardous materials)and addressed
additional concerns brought up at the meeting.These include alternative locations,the M-3 (Heavy
Industrial)zoning designation,industrial development in Southwest Fresno,proximity to schools,
objectionable odors,traffic,and thresholds of significance,toxic air contaminants,buffer zones,and
community involvement with the general plan update.
Overall there was good discussion regarding air quality and hazards and hazardous materials,as
well as,an update regarding proposed Mitigation Measures (MEIR and Project Specific Mitigation
Measures).The main topic of discussion related to cumulative air quality impacts associated with the
project.Staff has concluded that the “project is a subsequent project identified in the MEIR and Air
Quality MND but that it is not fully within the scope of the MEIR and Air Quality MND because the
proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment that was not examined in the
MEIR or Air Quality MND.However,there will not be a significant effect in this case because
revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent.The project
specific mitigation measures and all applicable mitigation measures contained in the MEIR Mitigation
Monitoring Checklist will be imposed upon the proposed project.
According to Section 15130(a)of the CEQA Guidelines,“An EIR shall discuss cumulative impacts of
a project when the project’s incremental effect is cumulatively considerable,as defined in Section
15065(c).Where a lead agency is examining a project with an incremental effect that is not
‘cumulatively considerable,’a lead agency need not consider that effect significant,but shall briefly
describe its basis for concluding that the incremental effect is not cumulatively considerable.”In
addition,“The discussion of cumulative impacts shall reflect the severity of the impacts and their
likelihood of occurrence,but the discussion need not provide as great detail as provided for the
effects attributable to the project alone” (Section 15130(b) of the CEQA Guidelines).
Staff has determined that the cumulative effects of the allowed uses in the project area were
discussed in the MEIR (Chapter VI -Cumulative Impacts).As such,no new significant cumulative
effects will result from this project.
On June 18,2014,the Planning Commission considered Site Plan Review Application No.S-13-047
continued from the March 5,2014,meeting.Consistent with the March 5,2014,Planning
Commission meeting,Commission members and members of the public discussed a variety of
issues and concerns.More specifically,the Planning Commission and public highlighted issues
related to:Cumulative impacts,outdated community plan (i.e.,Edison Community Plan),
opportunities and possible alternative uses,lacking public resources,property depreciation,district
representation,proximity to schools and similar uses,overall health issues,potential for accidents,
chemicals housed,impacts to infrastructure,and reporting requirements.In addition,there was
much discussion about the CalEnvironScreen score for the area and at least one planning
commissioner based their vote on the negative CalEnvironScreen Score for the area.After further
consideration,the Planning Commission voted two (2)in favor of and two (2)against the project
being approved.This resulted in a technical denial of the project and the related environmental

assessment.
On July 2,2014,the Director of Development and Resource Management received an appeal from
Mayor Ashley Swearengin of the Planning Commission’s action of June 18,2014,regarding Site Plan
Review Application No.S-13-047 and the related MND prepared for Environmental Assessment No.
S-13-047.
Staff Response:
Air Quality
As previously indicated,several Planning Commissions based their denial of the project on what they
perceived as an inadequate CEQA document.They contended that since staff did not consider the
CalEnvironScreen evidence presented by the opposition in the environmental analysis,that the
CEQA document was inadequate because it did not adequately address cumulative impacts.
However,the CalEnvironScreen guidance document dated April 2013 makes it very clear that the
results provided by this tool are not directly applicable to the cumulative impacts analysis required
under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).Specifically,the following except is taken
directly from this guidance document:
Additionally,the CalEnviroScreen scoring results are not directly applicable to the cumulative impacts
analysis required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).The statutory definition of
"cumulative impacts"contained in CEQA is substantially different than the working definition of
"cumulative impacts"used to guide the development of this tool.Therefore,the information provided
by this tool cannot be used as a substitute for an analysis of the cumulative impacts of any specific
project for which an environmental review is required by CEQA.
Moreover,CalEnviroScreen assesses environmental factors and effects on a regional or community-
wide basis and cannot be used in lieu of performing an analysis of the potentially significant impacts
of any specific project.Accordingly,a lead agency must determine independently whether a proposed
project's impacts may be significant under CEQA based on the evidence before it,using its own
discretion and judgment.The tool's results are not a substitute for this required analysis.Also,this
tool considers some social,health,and economic factors that may not be relevant when doing an
analysis under CEQA.Finally,as mentioned above,the tool’s output should not be used as a focused
risk assessment of a given community or site.It cannot predict or quantify specific health risks or
effects associated with cumulative exposures identified for a given community or individual.
Based on staff’s research of the CalEnviroScreen website and the related guidance document,staff
concludes that the CalEnviroScreen data provided by the opposition should not be utilized in the
cumulative impacts analysis required under CEQA.

The proposed project will comply with the Air Quality Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and
the Goals,Policies and Objectives of the Regional Transportation Plan adopted by the Fresno
Council of Fresno County Governments;therefore the project will not conflict with or obstruct an

Council of Fresno County Governments;therefore the project will not conflict with or obstruct an
applicable air quality plan.The project must comply with the construction and development
requirements of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District,therefore,no violations of air
quality standards will occur.The project will not occur at a scale or scope with potential to contribute
substantially to existing or projected air quality violation.The project will not occur at a scale or
scope which will result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of a criteria pollutant for which the
project region is non-attainment.
The Edison Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan designate the subject site as heavy
industrial and allows the proposed industrial use on the subject site.Given that the existing land use
allows this type and intensity of development,the project is not proposing development beyond that
examined in MEIR No.10130 for the 2025 Fresno General Plan or the MND prepared for Plan
Amendment A-09-02 to amend the Air Quality Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan.
The project is not proposing a use which will create objectionable odors.The applicant will have
programs in place to protect employees as well as the general public from exposure to the chemical
products they distribute.The applicant provided the City of Fresno with a complete list of chemicals
to be housed at the facility.Chemicals include corrosives,oxidizers,combustibles,flammables,
poisons,toxics,as well as other classifications of products,including non-hazardous materials,which
classifications have been attached for reference.The company primarily receives stores and ships
chemicals without diluting them or changing their packaging.The products can be in either a solid or
liquid state.No product will be stored in a gaseous state,thus,minimizing the possibility of
objectionable odors and or exposure to the public.The company also supplies dry food grade
chemicals,such as citric acid,which are diluted in water and repackaged to meet customer orders.
This process will be done in an area designed to contain any potential spills until the spill can be
appropriately neutralized.Engineering controls,such as scrubbers to reduce hazardous vapors from
affecting the employees and the surrounding areas,will be implemented.In addition,the use of
personal protective equipment will help ensure a healthful environment in and around operations.To
reiterate,pursuant to the operational statement submitted by the applicant,all chemicals will be
stored in either liquid or solid state and no product will be stored in a gaseous state.Therefore,the
transfer of chemicals from one container to another and other operations related to this facility will not
create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people.
Furthermore, the project shall obtain or prepare the following permits, registrations, and plans:
·San Joaquin Valley Air Quality Management District Air Permit
·Consolidated Unified Program Agency Permit
·California Highway Patrol Hazardous Materials Permit
·California Department of Justice Precursor Chemical Permit
·Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Hazardous Materials Shipper/Carrier
Permit
·Federal Highway Administration Operating Authority Permit

·A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
·Monitoring Program Plan
The proposed project is not expected to generate substantial pollutant concentrations since this
project will not generate significant vehicle traffic.The company will operate Monday through
Friday;whereas,approximately thirty-three (33)employees will be at the project site at any given
time.It is anticipated,aside from employees coming to and from the facility,less than two (2)
visitors per week can be expected because the project does not include the processing or
manufacture of materials of any kind.Therefore,the project will not create pollutants that would
impact sensitive receptors.The closest sensitive receptors to the proposed site are approximately
915 feet to the south of the subject site (single family home on the corner of North Hughes and
West Nielsen Avenues).The California Air Resources Board Handout was referenced to determine
a “minimum separation between new sensitive land uses and existing sources”;however,a specific
use associated with the development of a chemical warehouse project could not be found or used
as reference.
Residential land uses are considered “sensitive receptor”type land uses and are located
approximately 915 feet from the proposed project site as indicated previously.Given that a railroad
track is immediately adjacent to the site (north property line),there is a potential for the exposure of
sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations in the event of a spill or accident.In the
event of an emergency,an Emergency Coordinator (EC)will be designated to the proposed site to
manage the response to hazardous materials/waste incidents resulting from fire,explosion,
accidental release,natural disaster,or terrorist activities.This includes an EPCP developed in
accordance with Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)Part 262,Title 29 CFR Section
1910.120 and 1910.38,and CEPA (CEPA)s.36 (1-3).An EPCP shall be developed for the project
site to assist the EC or his/her designee(s) in determining appropriate response procedures.
The project has been required (as a mitigation measure)to participate in a Local Emergency
Planning Committee where local response agencies (fire department,public health department,
hospitals,etc.)and the community (District 3 leaders and residents)are made aware of activities
and controls that are in place to prevent and control any accidental release of a hazardous material.
One example highlighted by the applicant includes “mock-drills”in conjunction with local fire
departments to practice the project’s counter measures.
Pursuant to the Air Quality and Land Use Handbook prepared by the CEPA California Air
Resources Board dated April 2005,a railroad track is not considered a use that has a significant
negative air quality impact.High traffic freeways and roads and rail yards are uses called out by
this study that may have significant negative air quality impacts.
Onsite containment would be as follows:
Within the Building -The areas within the building where hazardous chemicals will be stored have a
system of curbs,drains,and containment areas that will keep any spills on site and contained until
they are appropriately tested, neutralized, and cleaned up.
Engineering controls,such as scrubbers,will be installed to reduce hazardous vapors from affecting
the employees and the surrounding areas.

File #:ID#14-297 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
Rail Car/Truck Unloading -Liquid chemicals from trucks and railcars shall be offloaded into
approved external bulk storage tanks.Those liquid chemicals arriving in trucks shall be offloaded in
the tank storage load out area which is designed to contain any spills until they can be appropriately
neutralized.
Those liquid chemicals arriving by railcar shall be top offloaded into the bulk storage tanks,a process
which is designed to help eliminate any catastrophic spills.As a precautionary measure,the
company shall place large plastic bins under the railcar connections to collect any accidental spillage.
The external tanks will be used for the storage of the following bulk liquids:
·Sodium hydroxide 50% in a 25,000 gallon steel tank
·Sodium hydroxide 50% (low iron) in a 6,200 gallon poly tank
·Potassium hydroxide 50% in a 25,000 gallon steel tank
·Potassium hydroxide 50% (low iron) in a 6,200 gallon poly tank
·Hydrochloric Acid 36.5% in a 25,000 gallon FRP tank
·Sodium hypochlorite 12.5% in an 8,300 gallon poly tank and a 6,200 gallon poly tank
·Citric Acid 50% in two 5,500 gallon poly tanks
Tanks and Tanker Load out Area -This area shall be contained within itself for spillage and rainfall
and adhere to the following:Concrete containment cells shall be engineered to handle the weight
and volume of materials present in the storage tanks.The proposed system is designed to handle
110 percent of the capacity of the largest tank anticipated to be installed,which conforms to the
requirements of the California Building Code and the California Fire Code.Tanks and tanker load out
area and containment area shall be visually inspected on a daily basis.
Yard -The entire site has been designed to contain up to 3 inches of rainfall,stored in a depressed
area of the site and the truck loading dock.The rainwater is prevented from leaving the site through
a valve system.The rainwater,both on the site and in the tank containment area,will be tested to
assure that no contaminants are present.If there are contaminants,the water will be appropriately
treated and retested to assure that they have been neutralized and that the water is safe.Once the
water is determined to be safe,the valve is opened and the water will be pumped out to the storm
water system.
The project applicant has proposed an “occurrence database”to source all loss producing events
such as personal injury,spill,and fire or vehicle accident.Near misses are also to be recorded and
investigated in the same system.These events shall be resolved as appropriate through an
established root cause analysis and corrective action (RCACA)process.Historical data shall be
available upon request.To supplement these efforts,the applicant will incorporate a training program
to include safety and environmental video training modules,instructed classroom training as well as
tailgate safety meetings and on-the-job instruction.This shall be monitored through Brenntag’s “Pure
Safety Training Software.”Modules are to include general awareness,hazard classification,shipping
papers,marking and labeling,placarding,emergency response,and packaging selection in UN
approved containers.
Brenntag has a national contract with CURA Emergency Services.CURA has contracts with
specialized local contractors throughout the nation.They are available to assist 24 hours per day,
365 days per year to clean up spills.Documentation and agreements shall be submitted to the City

365 days per year to clean up spills.Documentation and agreements shall be submitted to the City
for their records.
The project would equal or exceed 25,000 square feet of industrial space.Typically a project such as
this would need to comply with Rule 9510 from the SSJVAPCD.This Rule (also called Indirect
Source Review or ISR)provides for incorporation of a wide range of mitigation measures into
projects,and levies fees for pollutants generated by development projects,transportation and
development projects.The fees are used to provide for regional air quality improvements and
mitigations.Rule 9510 requires that operational (traffic-associated)NOX and PM10 emissions be
reduced by at least 33.3%and 45%,respectively,and construction equipment NOX and PM10
emissions of projects be reduced by at least 20%and 45%,respectively.After further review and
consultation with the Air District (attached letter dated May 22,2014),it was determined that the
project,as proposed,is “exempt from ISR because the project is a permitted facility.”However,the
project shall adhere to the District’s adopted document titled Guidance for Valley Land-Use Agencies
in Addressing GHG Emission Impacts for New Projects under CEQA (reference Project Modeling
Assumptions and Air Quality Impact Assessment provided by First Carbon Solutions dated May 20,
2014.
On April 22,2014,District staff met with the applicant’s consultant and participated in a conference
call to discuss the District’s original comments dated September 27,2013.During the conference
call,the District recommended that a more detailed preliminary review of the project be provided and
that the review quantifies criteria pollutant emissions,evaluates nuisance odors,and evaluates
potential health risks.The District has permitting authority over stationary sources only.The EA not
only covers stationary source criteria pollutants health risks from stationary source Toxic Air
Contaminants (TAC)emissions,and incorporates comments provided by the District,but also covers
anticipated mobile and other non-permitted source criteria pollutants and health risks from mobile
and other non-permitted source TAC emissions.Through project design elements and compliance
with District rules and regulations,project related stationary source criteria pollutant emissions and
stationary source TAC emissions would have a less than significant health risk impact on nearby
receptors.
The applicant’s consultant,First Carbon Solutions (FCS),used CalEEMod version 2.2 to estimate
project criteria pollutant emissions for comparison with SSJVAPCD thresholds of significance.FCS
quantified the emissions from the sources mentioned above and determined that emissions from
these sources would not exceed the District’s thresholds of significance of 10 tons/year ROG,10
tons/year NOx,or 15 tons/year PM10.Therefore,project related criteria pollutant emissions from
mobile and non-permitted sources would have a less than significant impact on air quality.
FCS used the District’s Health Risk Assessment Truck Screening Tool to estimate the increase in
cancer risk due to the operation of diesel trucks on the project site and from locomotives accessing
the site to exchange car rails.The project would not exceed the District’s thresholds of significance
during construction.
FCS used the District’s HRA Truck Screening Model to estimate health risk associated with the
operation of diesel powered vehicles at the site.The District’s TAC threshold of significance for
project operations is an increase in cancer risk of 10 in a million.The result of the analysis show an
increase in cancer risk at the nearest sensitive receptor to be 1.88 in a million.Therefore,the
project’s TAC impacts are less than significant.

The project has been required (as a mitigation measure)to comply with all of the requirements
stipulated within the attached Chemical Storage Guidelines (Chapter 6:Prevention Program
(Program 2)prepared by the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD)dated January
27,1999,or its most current form.In addition,the project shall comply with all of the requirements
stipulated within the Guidelines for Safe Warehousing of Chemicals prepared by the Center for
Chemical Process Safety of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers NACD dated 1998,or its
most current form.
The MEIR prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan requires that the most current version of
URBEMIS (now known as CalEEMod)computer model be used to analyze development projects and
estimate future air pollutant emissions that can be expected to be generated from operational
omissions (vehicular traffic associated with the project),area-wide emissions (sources such as
ongoing maintenance activities and use of appliances),and construction activities.According to the
analysis conducted by First Carbon Solutions,the project would not exceed the SJVAPCD thresholds
of significance during construction.
This analysis is to also determine if the Brenntag project would result in significant air quality impacts
from the following criteria pollutants and toxic air contaminants:ozone precursors (Reactive Organic
Gases (ROG)and NOX;CO,SOX,both regulated categories of particulate matter,and the
greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2).The model incorporates geographically-customized data on
local vehicles, weather, and SJVAPCD Rules.
The land use data provided in CalEEMod was for a project containing approximately 58,699 square
feet (conservative square footage)of warehouse space,inclusive of covered canopies and a boiler
room on 11.22 acres.The trip rates per day are as follows:2-7 HD Truck deliveries to site (assumed
7 as worst case);12-20 HD Truck shipments from site (assumed 20 as worst case);and 3 rail
deliveries per week.The analysis incorporated mitigation measures required by the City and
feasibility incorporated at this stage of project analysis.These mitigations include watering of
construction sites and unpaved construction roads three times daily and reducing speed on
construction roadways.

The analysis determined that the proposed project will not exceed the threshold of significance limits
for regulated air pollutants.During the construction phase of this project grading and trenching on the
site may generate particulate matter pollution through fugitive dust emissions.SJVAPCD Regulation
VIII addresses not only construction and demolition dust control measures,but also regulates
ongoing maintenance of open ground areas that may create entrained dust from high winds.The
applicant is required to provide landscaping on the project site which will contain trees to assist in the
absorption of air pollutants, reduce ozone levels, and curtail storm water runoff.

receptor of 1.88 in a million.Therefore,the project’s TAC impacts are less than significant.In
summary,subject to compliance with existing policies,rules,and regulations,the proposed project
will not significantly impact local air quality.The proposed project will not create additional air quality
impacts beyond those already assessed the MEIR prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan and
Plan Amendment No. A-09-002 to amend the Air Quality Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan.
The proposed project shall implement and incorporate,as appropriate,the air quality related
mitigation measures as identified in the attached Project Specific Monitoring Checklist dated May 27,
2014, including but not limited to, compliance with all applicable regulations.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The project is not expected to create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the
routine transport,use,or disposal of hazardous materials.However,given the proximity to the
railroad track and its intended use,there is a possibility that a spill or accident could occur.This
creates a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset
and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment if
precautions are not taken into account.In the event of an emergency,an Emergency Coordinator
(EC)shall be designated to the proposed site to manage the response to hazardous materials/waste
incidents resulting from fire,explosion,accidental release,natural disaster,or terrorist activities.This
includes an EPCP developed in accordance with Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
Part 262,Title 29 CFR Section 1910.120 and 1910.38,and CEPA s.36 (1-3).An EPCP shall be
developed for the project site to assist the EC or his/her designee(s)in determining appropriate
response procedures.
The project has been required (as a mitigation measure)to participate in a Local Emergency
Planning Committee where local response agencies (fire department,public health department,
hospitals,etc.)and the community (District 3 leaders and residents)are made aware of activities and
controls that are in place to prevent and control any accidental release of a hazardous material.One
example highlighted by the applicant includes “mock-drills”in conjunction with local fire departments
to practice the project’s counter measures.
The project has been mitigated to comply with all of the requirements stipulated within the Chemical
Storage Guidelines (Chapter 6:Prevention Program (Program 2)prepared by the NACD dated
January 27,1999,or its most current form.In addition,the project has been required (as a mitigation

January 27,1999,or its most current form.In addition,the project has been required (as a mitigation
measure)to comply with all of the requirements stipulated within the Guidelines for Safe
Warehousing of Chemicals prepared by the Center for Chemical Process Safety of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers NACD dated 1998, or its most current form.
Storage tanks shall adhere to the following standards:
·Steel and stainless steel tanks shall be built to American Petroleum Institute (API)or
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards.
·Fiberglass (FRP)tanks shall be built to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
3299/4097 standards.
·Poly tanks shall be built to the ASTM D1998 standard.
·Storage tank system shall be designed to automatically alert the operators when 90%of tank
capacity has been reached and to automatically prevent tank capacity from exceeding 95%
capacity, as proposed.
·Tanks shall have individual pumps for each material stored at the facility.
·Hoses shall be tested at time of purchase and every six months afterwards.Hoses shall be
visually inspected with every use for signs of non-compliance.
On-site containment,“occurrence database”,training programs,safety policies,required permits,
registrations,and plans related to hazards and hazardous materials (i.e.,within the building,rail
car/truck loading and unloading,and tanks and tanker load out area)can be referenced within the air
quality section above.
With mitigation proposed the proposed project will not create impacts beyond those already
assessed in the MEIR prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan and Plan Amendment No.A-09-
002 to amend the Air Quality Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan.
The project site is not expected to emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely
hazardous materials,substances,or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school.
The closest school is approximately ½ mile or 2,090 feet from the project site.
Although the project area is located within an airport land use plan (Fresno-Chandler Downtown
Airport Master and Environs)and traffic pattern zone of FCEA,the project will not expose people
residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels from the airport because the
proposed project is simply in the airport review area and is not within an identified noise contour
identified by the airport land use plan.
The project has been reviewed by the Department of Airports and it has been determined that the
project will not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area.The project
is also not within the vicinity of a private airstrip,therefore,it would not result in a safety hazard for
people residing or working in the project area.The project will not interfere with an adopted
emergency plan.The project area is not located near a wild land area or an SRA;therefore the
project will not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss,injury or death involving wild
land fires.
The proposed project shall implement and incorporate,as appropriate,the hazards and hazardous
materials related mitigation measures as identified in the attached Project Specific Monitoring

materials related mitigation measures as identified in the attached Project Specific Monitoring
Checklist dated May 27, 2014, including but not limited to, compliance with all applicable regulations.
Land Use Plans and Policies
2025 Fresno General Plan and Edison Community Plan
The project will be constructed on an approximately 11.22 acre site within the Roeding Industrial
Park.The proposed M-3 zone district is consistent with the planned land use of heavy industrial
pursuant to Section 12-403-B-1 of the Fresno Municipal Code.The proposed project is in
compliance with several goals and policies contained in both the 2025 Fresno General Plan (General
Plan)and the Edison Community Plan.For example,Objective C-13 of the 2025 Fresno General
Plan is to plan and support industrial development to promote job growth while enhancing Fresno’s
urban environment.Supporting policy C-13-i is intended to provide sufficient opportunities for heavy
industrial planned uses in areas that are accessible from major transportation corridors,and where
land use compatibility issues,health and safety concerns and public facility and service needs can be
addressed to ensure stability of economic investments and opportunities for growth.The proposed
project will meet the intent of these objectives and policies because the proposed project will
integrate well into the existing surrounding industrial uses.
Similarly,the goals of the 1977 Edison Community Plan,as updated and reaffirmed in the 2025
Fresno General Plan,were directed toward providing a framework for public and private actions
which will stimulate the long-term balanced growth of the community.In order to achieve this overall
purpose there are three primary objectives:(1)Stimulate growth in the Edison Community by
improving the quality of the environment and the strategic provision of public facilities improvements;
and (2)stimulate an increase of income levels throughout the Edison Community through programs
of economic and employment development.
The subject site is designated for heavy industrial uses by the Edison Community Plan (as amended
by the 2025 Fresno General Plan).Although the Edison Community Plan indicates that there is an
overconcentration of industrial land uses in the plan area,the Edison Community Plan,in 1977,
designated the site for industrial land uses.This implies that the City and the community (at that
time)felt that industrial land uses were appropriate for the area and would not be detrimental to the
community.The policies related to industrial development in the Edison Community Plan are focused
on remedying the issues related to industrial property that directly abuts residential land uses.It also
raises concerns related to scattered industrial development outside of planned industrial districts.
The subject site is not adjacent to residential land uses and has been planned industrial for four
decades.Thus,the Edison Community Plan intended for and continues to call for industrial
development in this area.
Additionally,property development standards and conditions of approval have been incorporated to
help minimize the adverse effects of industries on residential areas within the community plan area,
including but not limited to,strict performance standards,proper site design,and the application of
available measures to buffer and separate incompatible land uses.One method is to allow light
industrial uses like Brenntag instead of heavy industrial uses such as a wrecking yard,aircraft
factory, or brick or tile manufacturing.
Therefore,it is staff’s opinion that the proposed site plan review application is consistent with
respective general and community plan objectives and policies and will not conflict with any
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 15 of 17
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-297 Agenda Date:8/28/2014 Agenda #:
respective general and community plan objectives and policies and will not conflict with any
applicable land use plan,policy or regulation of the City of Fresno.The proposed project is found;(1)
To be consistent with the goals,objectives,and policies of the applicable 2025 Fresno General Plan
and Edison Community Plan;(2)to be suitable for the type and density of development;(3)to be
safe from potential cause or introduction of serious public health problems;and (4)to not conflict with
any public interests in the subject site or adjacent lands.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21157.1(b) and CEQA Guidelines 15177(b)(2), the
purpose of this MEIR initial study is to analyze whether the subsequent project was described in the
Master Environmental Impact Report No. 10130 and whether the subsequent project may cause any
additional significant effect on the environment, which was not previously examined in MEIR No.
10130 (“MEIR”) or the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for Plan Amendment A-09-02 to
amend the Air Quality Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan (SCH # 2009051016) (“Air Quality
MND”).
The environmental factors checked below (if any) would be potentially affected by this project,
involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on
the following pages.

consideration that was not previously examined in the MEIR or Air Quality MND, but that
impact is less than significant;
c. “Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporation” means there is a potentially
significant impact related to the threshold under consideration that was not previously
examined in the MEIR or Air Quality MND; however, with the mitigation incorporated into the
project, the impact is less than significant.
d. “Potentially Significant Impact” means there is an additional potentially significant effect
related to the threshold under consideration that was not previously examined in the MEIR or
Air Quality MND.
2. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each
question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources
show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project
falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based
on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose
sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
3. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-
site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as
operational impacts.
4. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the
checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than
significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is
appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or
more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is
required.
5. A "Finding of Conformity" is a determination based on an initial study that the proposed project
is a subsequent project identified in the MEIR and that it is fully within the scope of the MEIR
and Air Quality MND because it would have no additional significant effects that were not
examined in the MEIR or the Air Quality MND.
6. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant
Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation
measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level
(mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced).
7. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR or MIER, or other
CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative
declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the
following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
-4-
Initial Study for S-13-047
May 29, 2014
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were
within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the MEIR or another earlier document
pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed
by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation
Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or
refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific
conditions for the project.
8. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information
sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a
previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the
page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
9. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
10. This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however,
lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a
project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
11. The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance

I. AESTHETICS -- Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a
scenic vista?
x
b) Substantially damage scenic resources,
including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic buildings within a
state scenic highway?
x
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual
character or quality of the site and its
surroundings?
x
d) Create a new source of substantial light or
glare which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
x
The immediate area is substantially developed with urban uses; therefore, no public or scenic vista will be
obstructed by the development and no valuable vegetation will be removed. The project will not damage
any scenic resources nor will it degrade the visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings.
Furthermore, development of the site will not create a new source of substantial light or glare which would
-5-
Initial Study for S-13-047

affect day or night time views in the project area, given that during the entitlement process, staff will ensure
that lights are located in areas that will minimize light sources to the neighboring properties. The site will
have a wide landscape buffer along the east and a portion of the north and south property lines which will
shield the proposed operations from public view. In addition, the building proposed will contain
architectural features and colors (i.e., windows and window treatments, metal wall sheathing and stucco
variations, rake trims and guard rails), that will be more aesthetically appealing than the other industrial
buildings in the immediate vicinity of the subject site. The project will be subject to the aesthetics mitigation
measures identified in MEIR No. 10130 prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan and on the attached
Mitigation Monitoring Checklist dated May 29, 2014. Conditions to ensure the project is aesthetically
appealing will be further defined in the Conditions of Approval for Site Plan Review Application No. S-13-
047. As a result, the project will have a less than significant impact on aesthetics.

II. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY
RESOURCES: In determining whether
impacts to agricultural resources are
significant environmental effects, lead
agencies may refer to the California
Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the
California Dept. of Conservation as an
optional model to use in assessing impacts
on agriculture and farmland. -- Would the
project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique
Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the
maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland
Mapping and Monitoring Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-
agricultural use?
x
b) Conflict with existing zoning for
agricultural use, or a Williamson Act
contract?
x
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause
rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 12220(g)),
timberland (as defined by Public Resources
Code section 4526), or timberland zoned
Timberland Production (as defined by
Government Code section 51104(g))?
x
d) Result in the loss of forest land or
conversion of forest land to non-forest use? x

Initial Study for S-13-047
May 29, 2014
e) Involve other changes in the existing
environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of
Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
x
The project will not Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to a
non-agricultural use because the project is not located on said areas. In addition, based on a review of
aerial photographs, it appears that the site has not been under cultivation since at least 1992. The site
does not have a Williamson Act as verified by the City of Fresno and associated historical documentation.
The proposed project will not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land, timberland,
or timberland zoned Timberland Production. The project will not result in the loss of forest land or
conversion of forest land to non-forest use because the subject property does not contain forest land. The
proposed project is not expected to result in conversion of farmland to a non-agricultural use because the
subject site is in a completely urban area and is designated for urban development by the 2025 Fresno
General Plan. Although there are some properties in the immediate vicinity that are zoned for agricultural
uses (cemetery to the east), the proposed project area has already been developed with industrial uses for
at least 30 years.

Setting
The subject site is located in Fresno County and within the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB). This
region has had chronic non-attainment of federal and state clean air standards for ozone/oxidants and
particulate matter due to a combination of topography and climate. The San Joaquin Valley (Valley) is
hemmed in on three sides by mountain ranges, with prevailing winds carrying pollutants and pollutant
precursors from urbanized areas to the north (and in turn contributing pollutants and precursors to
downwind air basins). The Mediterranean climate of this region, with a high number of sunny days and
little or no measurable precipitation for several months of the year, fosters photochemical reactions in the
atmosphere, creating ozone and particulate matter.
Regional factors affect the accumulation and dispersion of air pollutants within the SJVAB.
Air pollutant emissions overall are fairly constant throughout the year, yet the concentrations of pollutants in
the air vary from day to day and even hour to hour. This variability is due to complex interactions of
weather, climate, and topography. These factors affect the ability of the atmosphere to disperse pollutants.
Conditions that move and mix the atmosphere help disperse pollutants, while conditions that cause the
atmosphere to stagnate allow pollutants to concentrate. Local climatological effects, including topography,
wind speed and direction, temperature, inversion layers, precipitation, and fog can exacerbate the air
quality problem in the SJVAB.
The SJVAB is approximately 250 miles long and averages 35 miles wide, and is the second largest air
basin in the state. The SJVAB is defined by the Sierra Nevada in the east (8,000 to 14,000 feet in
elevation), the Coast Ranges in the west (averaging 3,000 feet in elevation), and the Tehachapi mountains
in the south (6,000 to 8,000 feet in elevation). The Valley is basically flat with a slight downward gradient to
the northwest. The Valley opens to the sea at the Carquinez Straits where the San Joaquin-Sacramento
Delta empties into San Francisco Bay. The Valley, thus, could be considered a “bowl” open only to the
north.
During the summer, wind speed and direction data indicate that summer wind usually originates at the
north end of the Valley and flows in a south-southeasterly direction through the Valley, through Tehachapi
pass, into the Southeast Desert Air Basin. In addition, the Altamont Pass also serves as a funnel for
pollutant transport from the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin into the region.
During the winter, wind speed and direction data indicate that wind occasionally originates from the south
end of the Valley and flows in a north-northwesterly direction. Also during the winter months, the Valley
generally experiences light, variable winds (less than 10 mph). Low wind speeds, combined with low
inversion layers in the winter, create a climate conducive to high carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate
matter (PM10 and PM2.5) concentrations. The SJVAB has an “Inland Mediterranean” climate averaging
over 260 sunny days per year. The Valley floor is characterized by warm, dry summers and cooler winters.
For the entire Valley, high daily temperature readings in summer average 95ºF. Temperatures below
freezing are unusual. Average high temperatures in the winter are in the 50s, but highs in the 30s and 40s
can occur on days with persistent fog and low cloudiness. The average daily low temperature is 45ºF.
-8-
Initial Study for S-13-047
May 29, 2014
The vertical dispersion of air pollutants in the Valley is limited by the presence of persistent temperature
inversions. Solar energy heats up the Earth’s surface, which in turn radiates heat and warms the lower
atmosphere. Therefore, as altitude increases, the air temperature usually decreases due to increasing
distance from the source of heat. A reversal of this atmospheric state, where the air temperature increases
with height, is termed an inversion. Inversions can exist at the surface or at any height above the ground,
and tend to act as a lid on the Valley, holding in the pollutants that are generated here.
Regulations
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) is the local regional jurisdictional entity
charged with attainment planning, rule making, rule enforcement, and monitoring under Federal and State
Clean Air Acts and Clean Air Act Amendments.
The proposed project will comply with the Air Quality Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the
Goals, Policies and Objectives of the Regional Transportation Plan adopted by the Fresno Council of
Fresno County Governments; therefore the project will not conflict with or obstruct an applicable air quality
plan. The project must comply with the construction and development requirements of the San Joaquin
Valley Air Pollution Control District, therefore, no violations of air quality standards will occur. The project
will not occur at a scale or scope with potential to contribute substantially to existing or projected air quality
violation. The project will not occur at a scale or scope which will result in a cumulatively considerable net
increase of a criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment.
The Edison Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan designate the subject site as heavy
industrial and allows the proposed industrial use on the subject site. Given that the existing land use
allows this type and intensity of development, the project is not proposing development beyond that
examined in MEIR No. 10130 for the 2025 Fresno General Plan or the Mitigated Negative Declaration
prepared for Plan Amendment A-09-02 to amend the Air Quality Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan.
The project is not proposing a use which will create objectionable odors. The applicant will have programs
in place to protect employees as well as the general public from exposure to the chemical products they
distribute. The applicant provided the City of Fresno with a complete list of chemicals to be housed at the
facility. Chemicals include corrosives, oxidizers, combustibles, flammables, poisons, toxics, as well as
other classifications of products, including non-hazardous materials, which classifications have been
attached for reference. The company primarily receives stores and ships chemicals without diluting them
or changing their packaging. The products can be in either a solid or liquid state. No product will be stored
in a gaseous state, thus, minimizing the possibility of objectionable odors and or exposure to the public.
The company also supplies dry food grade chemicals, such as citric acid, which are diluted in water and
repackaged to meet customer orders. This process will be done in an area designed to contain any
potential spills until the spill can be appropriately neutralized. Engineering controls such as scrubbers to
reduce hazardous vapors from affecting the employees and the surrounding areas will be implemented. In
addition the use of personal protective equipment will help ensure a healthful environment in and around
operations. To reiterate, pursuant to the operational statement submitted by the applicant, all chemicals
will be stored in either liquid or solid state and no product will be stored in a gaseous state, therefore, the
transfer of chemicals from one container to another and other operations related to this facility will not
create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people.
Furthermore, the project shall obtain or prepare the following permits, registrations, and plans:
-9-
Initial Study for S-13-047
May 29, 2014
• San Joaquin Valley Air Quality Management District Air Permit
• Consolidated Unified Program Agency Permit
• California Highway Patrol Hazardous Materials Permit
• California Department of Justice Precursor Chemical Permit
• Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Hazardous Materials Shipper/Carrier Permit
• Federal Highway Administration Operating Authority Permit
• Environmental Protection Agency Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act Registrations
• Occupational Health and Safety Administration Air Pressure Vessel Permit
• California Department of Agriculture Feed and Fertilizer Permit
• Storm Water Permit
• A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
• Monitoring Program Plan
The proposed project is not expected to generate substantial pollutant concentrations since this project will
not generate significant vehicle traffic. The company will operate Monday through Friday; whereas,
approximately thirty-three (33) employees will be at the project site at any given time. It is anticipated,
aside from employees coming to and from the facility, less than two (2) visitors per week can be expected
because the project does not include the processing or manufacture of materials of any kind. Therefore
the project will not create pollutants that would impact sensitive receptors. The closest sensitive receptors
to the proposed site are approximately 915 feet to the south of the subject site (single family home on the
corner of North Hughes and West Nielsen Avenues). The California Air Resources Board Handout was
referenced to determine a “minimum separation between new sensitive land uses and existing sources”;
however, a specific use associated with the development of a chemical warehouse project could not be
found or used as reference.
Residential land uses are considered “sensitive receptor” type land uses and are located approximately
915 feet from the proposed project site. Given that a railroad track is immediately adjacent to the site,
there is a potential for the exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations in the
event of a spill or accident. In the event of an emergency, an Emergency Coordinator (EC) will be
designated to the proposed site to manage the response to hazardous materials/waste incidents resulting
from fire, explosion, accidental release, natural disaster, or terrorist activities. This includes an Emergency
Preparedness Contingency Plan (EPCP) developed in accordance with Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 262, Title 29 CFR Section 1910.120 and 1910.38, and California Environmental
Protection Agency (CEPA) s.36 (1-3). An EPCP shall be developed for the project site to assist the EC or
his/her designee(s) in determining appropriate response procedures.
The project has been required (as a mitigation measure) to participate in a Local Emergency Planning
Committee where local response agencies (fire department, public health department, hospitals, etc.) and
the community (District 3 leaders and residents) are made aware of activities and controls that are in place
to prevent and control any accidental release of a hazardous material. One example highlighted by the
applicant includes “mock-drills” in conjunction with local fire departments to practice the project’s counter
measures.
Pursuant to the Air Quality and Land Use Handbook prepared by the California Environmental Protection
Agency California Air Resources Board dated April 2005, a railroad track is not considered a use that has a
-10-
Initial Study for S-13-047
May 29, 2014
significant negative air quality impact. High traffic freeways and roads and rail yards are uses called out by
this study that may have significant negative air quality impacts.
Onsite containment would be as follows:
Within the Building – The areas within the building where hazardous chemicals will be stored shall have a
system of curbs, drains, and containment areas that will keep any spills on site and contained until they are
appropriately tested, neutralized, and cleaned up.
Engineering controls such as scrubbers will be installed to reduce hazardous vapors from affecting the
employees and the surrounding areas.
Rail Car/Truck Unloading – Liquid chemicals from trucks and railcars shall be offloaded into approved
external bulk storage tanks. Those liquid chemicals arriving in trucks shall be offloaded in the tank storage
load out area which is designed to contain any spills until they can be appropriately neutralized.
Those liquid chemicals arriving by railcar shall be top offloaded into the bulk storage tanks, a process
which is designed to help eliminate any catastrophic spills. As a further precautionary measure, the
company shall place large plastic bins under the railcar connections to collect any accidental spillage. The
external tanks will shall be used for the storage of the following bulk liquids:
• Sodium hydroxide 50% in a 25,000 gallon steel tank
• Sodium hydroxide 50% (low iron) in a 6,200 gallon poly tank
• Potassium hydroxide 50% in a 25,000 gallon steel tank
• Potassium hydroxide 50% (low iron) in a 6,200 gallon poly tank
• Hydrochloric Acid 36.5% in a 25,000 gallon FRP tank
• Sodium hypochlorite 12.5% in an 8,300 gallon poly tank and a 6,200 gallon poly tank
• Citric Acid 50% in two 5,500 gallon poly tanks
Tanks and Tanker Load out Area – This area shall be contained within itself for spillage and rainfall and
adhere to the following: Concrete containment cells shall be engineered to handle the weight and volume
of materials present in the storage tanks. The proposed system is designed to handle 110 percent of the
capacity of the largest tank anticipated to be installed, which conforms to the requirements of the California
Building Code and the California Fire Code.
Tanks and tanker load out area and containment area shall be visually inspected on a daily basis.
• Yard – The entire site has been designed to contain up to 3 inches of rainfall, stored in a depressed
area of the site and the truck loading dock. The rainwater is prevented from leaving the site through a
valve system. The rainwater, both on the site and in the tank containment area will be tested to
assure that no contaminants are present. If there are contaminants, the water will be appropriately
treated and retested to assure that they have been neutralized and that the water is safe. Once the
water is determined to be safe, the valve is opened and the water will be pumped out to the storm
water system.
The project applicant has proposed an “occurrence database” to source all loss producing events such as
-11-
Initial Study for S-13-047
May 29, 2014
personal injury, spill, and fire or vehicle accident. Near misses are also to be recorded and investigated in
the same system. These events shall be resolved as appropriate through an established “root cause
analysis and corrective action (RCACA) process. Historical data shall be available upon request. To
supplement these efforts, the applicant will incorporate a training program to include safety and
environmental video training modules, instructed classroom training as well as tailgate safety meetings and
on-the-job instruction. This shall be monitored through Brenntag’s “Pure Safety training software.”
Modules are to include general awareness, hazard classification, shipping papers, marking and labeling,
placarding, emergency response, and packaging selection in UN approved containers.
Brenntag has a national contract with CURA Emergency Services. CURA has contracts with specialized
local contractors throughout the nation. They are available to assist 24 hours per day, 365 days per year to
clean up spills. Documentation and agreements shall be submitted to the City for their records.
The project would equal or exceed 25,000 square feet of industrial space. Therefore, this project would
need to comply with Rule 9510 from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD). This
Rule (also called Indirect Source Review or ISR) provides for incorporation of a wide range of mitigation
measures into projects, and levies fees for pollutants generated by development projects, transportation
and development projects. The fees are used to provide for regional air quality improvements and
mitigations. Specifically, Rule 9510 requires that operational (traffic-associated) NOX and PM10 emissions
be reduced by at least 33.3% and 45%, respectively, and construction equipment NOX and PM10
emissions of projects be reduced by at least 20% and 45%, respectively. After further review and
consultation with the Air District, it was determined that the project, as proposed, is “Exempt from ISR
because the project is a permitted facility.” However, the project shall adhere to the District’s adopted
document titled Guidance for Valley Land-Use Agencies in Addressing GHG Emission Impacts for New
Projects Under CEQA.
The project has been required (as a mitigation measure) to comply with all of the requirements stipulated
within the attached Chemical Storage Guidelines (Chapter 6: Prevention Program (Program 2) prepared by
the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) dated January 27, 1999, or its most current form.
In addition, the project shall comply with all of the requirements stipulated within the Guidelines for Safe
Warehousing of Chemicals prepared by the Center for Chemical Process Safety of the American Institute
of Chemical Engineers National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) dated 1998, or its most
current form.
The Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR) prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan requires that
the most current version of URBEMIS (now known as CalEEMod) computer model be used to analyze
development projects and estimate future air pollutant emissions that can be expected to be generated
from operational omissions (vehicular traffic associated with the project), area-wide emissions (sources
such as ongoing maintenance activities and use of appliances), and construction activities. According to
the analysis conducted by First Carbon Solutions, the project would not exceed the SJVAPCD thresholds
of significance during construction.
This analysis is to also determine if the Brenntag project would result in significant air quality impacts from
the following criteria pollutants and toxic air contaminants: ozone precursors (Reactive Organic Gases
(ROG) and NOX; CO, SOX, both regulated categories of particulate matter, and the greenhouse gas
carbon dioxide (CO2). The model incorporates geographically-customized data on local vehicles, weather,
and SJVAPCD Rules.
-12-
Initial Study for S-13-047
May 29, 2014
The land use data provided in CalEEMod was for a project containing approximately 58,699 square feet of
warehouse space, inclusive of covered canopies and a boiler room on 11.22 acres. The trip rates per day
are as follows: 2-7 HD Truck deliveries to site (assumed 7 as worst case); 12-20 HD Truck shipments from
site (assumed 20 as worst case); and 3 rail deliveries per week. The analysis also incorporates mitigation
measures required by the City and feasibility incorporated at this stage of project analysis. These
mitigations include watering of construction sites and unpaved construction roads three times daily and
reducing speed on construction roadways.

The analysis determined that the proposed project will not exceed the threshold of significance limits for
regulated air pollutants. During the construction phase of this project grading and trenching on the site may
generate particulate matter pollution through fugitive dust emissions. SJVAPCD Regulation VIII addresses
not only construction and demolition dust control measures, but also regulates ongoing maintenance of
open ground areas that may create entrained dust from high winds. The applicant is required to provide
landscaping on the project site which will contain trees to assist in the absorbsion of air pollutants, reduce
ozone levels, and curtail storm water runoff.

First Carbon Solutions used the SJVAPCD HRA Truck Screening Model to estimate health risk associated
with the operation of diesel powered vehicles at the project site. The SJVAPCD toxic air contaminant
(TAC) threshold of significance for project operations is an increase in cancer risk of 10 in a million. The
result of the analysis show an increase in cancer risk at the nearest sensitive receptor of 1.88 in a million.
Therefore, the project’s TAC impacts are less than significant.In summary, subject to compliance with
existing policies, rules, and regulations, the proposed project will not significantly impact local air quality.
The proposed project will not create additional air quality impacts beyond those already assessed the
MEIR prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan and Plan Amendment No. A-09-002 to amend the Air
Quality Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan.
The proposed project shall implement and incorporate, as appropriate, the air quality related mitigation
measures as identified in the attached Project Specific Monitoring Checklist dated May 29, 2014, including
but not limited to, compliance with all applicable regulations.

policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, because said species are not identified to be located within the project area and because the
subject site was previously occupied by heavy industrial uses. There is no riparian habitat or any other
sensitive natural community identified in the vicinity of the proposed project by the California Department of
Fish and Game or the US Fish and Wildlife Service. No federally protected wetlands are located on the
subject site; therefore, there would be no impacts to species, riparian habitat or other sensitive
communities and wetlands. The project site is not located in an area containing native residents or
migratory fish or wildlife species. The project site has no trees or other vegetation that could be considered
a biological resource and thus the project will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting
biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. The project area is not located within
an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local,
regional, or state habitat conservation plan.

resources or human remains that exist within the project area; therefore there will be no change or
disturbing of said resources/remains. However, previously unknown archaeological resources or human
resources could be disturbed during project construction. However, measures contained within the
attached Master Environmental Impact Report No. 10130- 2025 Fresno General Plan Mitigation Monitoring

The proposed project will implement and incorporate, as appropriate, the cultural resource related
mitigation measures as identified in the attached Master Environmental Impact Report No. 10130- 2025

Based on a review of aerial photographs, it appears that the site has not been under cultivation since at
least 1992. There are no known geologic hazards or unstable soil conditions known to exist on the project
site. Fresno has no known active earthquake faults and is not in any Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone.
Development of the property requires compliance with grading and drainage standards of the City of
Fresno and Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District Standards. The project does not involve the use of
-16-
Initial Study for S-13-047
May 29, 2014
a septic tank or an alternative waste water disposal system; therefore there is no impact to the soil. No
adverse environmental effects related to topography, soils or geology are expected as a result of this
project.
The proposed project is required to comply with standard requirements and procedures mandated by the
County of Fresno Department of Public Health, which include requirements and procedures for the
abandonment/removal of water wells, septic systems or underground storage tanks that exist or have been
abandoned within the project area.
Brenntag conducts a site assessment “before any new facility is purchased or leased.” This indicated that there are
no existing environmental hazards affecting the health of employees or the public. This was determined by a 50-year
chain of title review, review of soil and geologic information and environmental inquiries to local regulatory agencies,
including the following:
Federal:
• Occupational Safety & Health Administration
• United States Department of Transportation
• Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
• Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
• Federal Railroad Administration
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
• Food and Drug Administration
• Department of Justice
• Department of Homeland Security
State:
• California Occupational Safety & Health Administration
• California Environmental Protection Agency
• Consolidated Unified Program Agency
• California Department of Justice
• California Highway Patrol
No adverse environmental effects related to topography, soils or geology are expected as a result of this
project. Implementation of the mitigation measures listed in MEIR No. 10130 and the attached MEIR
Mitigation Monitoring Checklist dated May 29, 2014 will reduce the topographic, soils and geologic impacts
to less than significant.

The proposed project has been determined to have a less than significant impact on greenhouse gases
based on the guidance established by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) in the
adopted document titled Guidance for Valley Land-use Agencies in Addressing GHG Emission Impacts for
New Projects under CEQA. According to this document, projects can be determined to have a less than
significant impact if they do any other the following: 1) Use a combination of District approved GHG
Emission Reduction Measures to meet BPS; 2) Comply with an approved GHG plan or mitigation program;
or 3) Reduce GHG emissions by at least 29%. The proposed project complies with an approved GHG
Mitigation program (established through Plan Amendment Application No. A-09-02).
Plan Amendment Application No. A-09-02, the Air Quality Amendment to the 2025 Fresno General Plan,
adopted initial steps to address Fresno’s part in avoiding global climate change, through adoption of new
Resource Element / Air Quality General Plan Objectives and Policies. The information in previously-cited
CAPCOA and California Attorney General publications has been used as information resources for GHG
mitigation. A new objective has been added to the Air Quality section of the Resource Conservation
Element specifically calling for reduction in GHG emissions, with supporting policies and implementation
measures. Utilizing a qualitative analysis approach, projects consistent with, and appropriately
implementing, air pollution and GHG reduction policies, and which mitigate any potentially significant
project-specific GHG impacts, will be deemed to conform to GHG reduction requirements and to contribute
to the City’s overall GHG reduction goals. Periodic broad scale GHG modeling will be used to validate the
efficacy of these measures and guide implementation and further rulemaking. The proposed project will be
required to implement all relevant general plan policies related to GHGs. These policies will help to reduce
this project’s potential GHG impact. One new policy adopted in the City’s Air Quality Plan Amendment is
described below:
Policy G-1B-b Increase efforts to incorporate GHG emission reductions in land use decisions, facility
design, and operational measures subject to City regulation through implementation
measures such as the following:
(4) The City shall utilize guidance from the Institute for Local Government, California
Attorney General’s Office, California Air Pollution Control Officers Association, and
other sources of technical guidance in determining appropriate and feasible mitigation
measures which may be incorporated into land use plans, development projects and
City operations to achieve GHG emission reductions.
The proposed project complies with this policy because it will comply with several of the measures detailed
in the California Attorney General’s Office guidance document titled, The California Environmental Quality
Act Mitigation of Global Warming Impacts at the Local Agency Level” (updated January 07, 2008). This
document offers policy guidance on mitigating GHG emissions. One mitigation measure states that
-18-
Initial Study for S-13-047

projects should “create travel routes that ensure that destinations may be reached conveniently by public
transportation, bicycling or walking”. The proposed project will be required to install curb, gutter, and
sidewalks to Public Works Standard P-5; driveway approaches to Public Works Standard(s) P-2 and P-6;
and construct permanent paving (measured from face of curb to the section line) per Public Works
Standard P-50 that will provide ample pedestrian access to the site. Painted bike lanes are planned for
most collectors and arterials. A lot of these lanes are already painted; however, the 2025 Fresno General
Plan does not propose bicycle/pedestrian designated lanes adjacent to the project site. The closest
bicycle/pedestrian trail is located south of the project site off North Hughes Avenue and then heading east
on West Nielson Avenue.
The proposed project will not occur at a scale or scope with potential to contribute substantially or
cumulatively to the generation of greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly. Under the MEIR
and General Plan mitigation measures and policies for reducing all forms of air pollution, levels of
greenhouse gases will be reduced along with other regulated air pollutants.
The proposed project will not affect greenhouse gas emissions beyond what was analyzed in the Master
Environmental Impact Report No. 10130/SCH No. 2001071097 for the 2025 Fresno General Plan or by
Plan Amendment Application No. A-09-02. In addition, the proposed project will implement and
incorporate, as appropriate, the greenhouse gas related mitigation measures as identified in the attached
Master Environmental Impact Report No. 10130- 2025 Fresno General Plan Mitigation Monitoring Checklist
dated May 29, 2014, and thus the impacts will be less than significant.

The project is not expected to create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the
routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. However, given the proximity to the railroad
track and its intended use, there is a possibility that a spill or accident could occur, which creates a
significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident
conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment if precautions are not taken
into account. In the event of an emergency, an Emergency Coordinator (EC) shall be designated to the
proposed site to manage the response to hazardous materials/waste incidents resulting from fire,
explosion, accidental release, natural disaster, or terrorist activities. This includes an Emergency
Preparedness Contingency Plan (EPCP) developed in accordance with Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 262, Title 29 CFR Section 1910.120 and 1910.38, and California Environmental
Protection Agency (CEPA) s.36 (1-3). An EPCP shall be developed for the project site to assist the EC or
his/her designee(s) in determining appropriate response procedures.
The project has been required (as a mitigation measure) to participate in a Local Emergency Planning
Committee where local response agencies (fire department, public health department, hospitals, etc.) and
the community (District 3 leaders and residents) are made aware of activities and controls that are in place
to prevent and control any accidental release of a hazardous material. One example highlighted by the
applicant includes “mock-drills” in conjunction with local fire departments to practice the project’s counter

measures.
The project has been mitigated to comply with all of the requirements stipulated within the Chemical
Storage Guidelines (Chapter 6: Prevention Program (Program 2) prepared by the National Association of
Chemical Distributors (NACD) dated January 27, 1999, or its most current form. In addition, the project
has been required (as a mitigation measure) to comply with all of the requirements stipulated within the
Guidelines for Safe Warehousing of Chemicals prepared by the Center for Chemical Process Safety of the
American Institute of Chemical Engineers National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) dated
1998, or its most current form.
Storage tanks shall adhere to the following standards:
• Steel and stainless steel tanks shall be built to American Petroleum Institute (API) or Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) standards.
• Fiberglass (FRP) tanks shall be built to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
3299/4097 standards.
• Poly tanks shall be built to the ASTM D1998 standard.
• Storage tank system shall be designed to automatically alert the operators when 90% of tank capacity
has been reached and to automatically prevent tank capacity from exceeding 95% capacity, as
proposed.
• Tanks shall have individual pumps for each material stored at the facility.
• Hoses shall be tested at time of purchase and every six months afterwards. Hoses shall be visually
inspected with every use for signs of non-compliance.
Onsite containment will be as follows:
Within the Building – The areas within the building where hazardous chemicals will be stored shall have a
system of curbs, drains, and containment areas that will keep any spills on site and contained until they are
appropriately tested, neutralized, and cleaned up.
Engineering controls such as scrubbers will be installed to reduce hazardous vapors from affecting the
employees and the surrounding areas.
Rail Car/Truck Unloading – Liquid chemicals from trucks and railcars shall be offloaded into approved
external bulk storage tanks. Those liquid chemicals arriving in trucks shall be offloaded in the tank storage
load out area which is designed to contain any spills until they can be appropriately neutralized.
Those liquid chemicals arriving by railcar shall be top offloaded into the bulk storage tanks, a process
which is designed to help eliminate any catastrophic spills. As a further precautionary measure, the
company shall place large plastic bins under the railcar connections to collect any accidental spillage. The
external tanks will shall be used for the storage of the following bulk liquids:
• Sodium hydroxide 50% in a 25,000 gallon steel tank
• Sodium hydroxide 50% (low iron) in a 6,200 gallon poly tank
• Potassium hydroxide 50% in a 25,000 gallon steel tank
• Potassium hydroxide 50% (low iron) in a 6,200 gallon poly tank
-21-

• Hydrochloric Acid 36.5% in a 25,000 gallon FRP tank
• Sodium hypochlorite 12.5% in an 8,300 gallon poly tank and a 6,200 gallon poly tank
• Citric Acid 50% in two 5,500 gallon poly tanks.
Tanks and Tanker Load out Area – This area shall be contained within itself for spillage and rainfall and
adhere to the following: Concrete containment cells shall be engineered to handle the weight and volume
of materials present in the storage tanks. The proposed system is designed to handle 110 percent of the
capacity of the largest tank anticipated to be installed, which conforms to the requirements of the California
Building Code and the California Fire Code.
• Tanks and tanker load out area and containment area shall be visually inspected on a daily basis.
Yard – The entire site has been designed to contain up to 3 inches of rainfall, stored in a depressed
area of the site and the truck loading dock. The rainwater is prevented from leaving the site through
a valve system. The rainwater, both on the site and in the tank containment area will be tested to
assure that no contaminants are present. If there are contaminants, the water will be appropriately
treated and retested to assure that they have been neutralized and that the water is safe. Once the
water is determined to be safe, the valve is opened and the water will be pumped out to the storm
water system.
In addition to containment measures proposed by the project applicant, an “occurrence database” to
source all loss producing events such as personal injury, spill, and fire or vehicle accident has been
proposed. Near misses are also to be recorded and investigated in the same system. These events shall
be resolved as appropriate through an established “root cause analysis and corrective action (RCACA)
process.” Historical data shall be available upon request. In the event of an unavoidable emergency
situation, Brenntag has a national contract with CURA Emergency Services. CURA has contracts with
specialized local contractors throughout the nation. They are available to assist 24 hours per day, 365
days per year to clean up spills.
To supplement this effort, the project applicant shall incorporate a training program which includes safety
and environmental video training modules, instructed classroom training as well as tailgate safety meetings
and on-the-job instruction. This shall be monitored through Brenntag’s “Pure Safety training software.”
Modules are to include general awareness, hazard classification, shipping papers, marking and labeling,
placarding, emergency response, and packaging selection in UN approved containers. The applicant shall
comply with an established Illness and Injury Prevention Program to prevent workplace accidents, illness,
and injuries. Each branch’s program is tailored to be site specific and shall include the following provisions:
• Program administrator responsible for implementing and maintaining the program;
• Scheduled and unscheduled safety inspections;
• Hazard assessment process to analyze any new substance, procedure or equipment introduced into
the workplace and develop appropriate controls;
• Safety Suggestion Box;
• Comprehensive incident investigation to include all accidents and near misses;
• Branch specific safety rules;
• Appropriate training;
• Safety meetings; and

With mitigation proposed the proposed project will not create impacts beyond those already assessed in
the MEIR prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan and Plan Amendment No. A-09-002 to amend the Air
Quality Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan.
The project site is not expected to emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous
materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. The closest
school is approximately ½ mile or 2,090 feet from the project site.
Although the project area is located within an airport land use plan (Fresno-Chandler Downtown Airport
Master and Environs) and traffic pattern zone of FCEA, the project will not expose people residing or
working in the project area to excessive noise levels from the airport because the proposed project is
simply in the airport review area and is not within an identified noise contour identified by the airport land
use plan.
The project has been reviewed by the Department of Airports and it has been determined that the project
will not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. The project is also not
-24-

within the vicinity of a private airstrip, therefore, it would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or
working in the project area. The project will not interfere with an adopted emergency plan. The project
area is not located near a wildland area or an SRA; therefore the project will not expose people or
structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires.
The proposed project shall implement and incorporate, as appropriate, the hazards and hazardous
materials related mitigation measures as identified in the attached Project Specific Monitoring Checklist
dated May 29, 2014, including but not limited to, compliance with all applicable regulations.

The City's Department of Public Utilities has determined that water facilities are available to provide service
to the subject site as long as any on-site wells are sealed and abandoned and installation of water service
and meter box is in place. The City of Fresno has a capital improvement project to construct a 16-inch
transmission water main in North Hughes Avenue, fronting the proposed development. The project is
scheduled to be constructed in 2015. As such, the applicant will not be required to construct a 16-inch
water main in North Hughes Avenue from the existing 14-inch main located in West Nielson Avenue north
across the project frontage; however, the applicant will be required to install hydrants, water service and
meter box, private on-site water facilities, and seal and abandon any existing on-site well(s) in compliance
with the State of California Well Standards, Bulletin 74-90 or current revisions issued by California
Department of Water Resources and City of Fresno standards.
The Department of Public Utilities has, as a standard condition of approval, required the developer to
incorporate water use efficiency measures into the project and has required that the developer provide a
detailed water usage analysis identifying water fixture, landscape, and laundry efficiencies to document
water conservation design characteristics.
The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (District) bears responsibility for storm water management
within the Fresno-Clovis metropolitan area, including the area of the project site. Within the metropolitan
area, storm runoff produced by land development is to be controlled through a system of pipelines and
storm drainage retention basins. The proposed project lies within the District's Drainage Area "ZZ".
The community has developed and adopted a Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan. Each
property is required to contribute its pro-rata share to the cost of the public drainage system. It is this form
of participation in the cost and/or construction of the drainage system that will mitigate the impact of
development. Effected subject properties shall pay drainage fees pursuant to the Drainage Fee Ordinance
prior to issuance of a building permit at the rates in effect at the time of such approval.
-26-
Initial Study for S-13-047
May 29, 2014
The District requires that the storm drainage patterns for the proposed project conform to the District's
Master Plan. The District will need to review and approve all improvement plans for any proposed grading,
construction of curb and gutter or storm drainage facilities for conformance to the Master Plan within the
project area. The District has indicated that permanent drainage service is available provided the
developer can verify to the satisfaction of the City of Fresno that runoff can be safely conveyed to the
Master Plan inlets.
The proposed development does not appear to be located within a flood prone area. In an effort to
improve storm runoff quality, outdoor storage areas shall be constructed and maintained such that material
that may generate contaminants be prevented from contact with rainfall and runoff and thereby prevent the
conveyance of contaminants in runoff into the storm drain system. Runoff from areas where industrial
activities, product, or merchandise come into contact with and may contaminate storm water must be
directed though landscaped areas or otherwise treated before discharging it off-site or into a storm drain.
Cleaning of such areas by sweeping instead of washing is to be required unless such wash water can be
directed to the sanitary sewer system. The entire site has been designed to contain up to three (3) inches
of rainfall, stored in a depressed area of the site and the truck loading dock. The rainwater is prevented
from leaving the site through a valve system. The rainwater both on the site and in the tank containment
area will be tested to assure that no contaminants are present. If there are contaminants, the water will be
appropriately treated and retested to assure that they have been neutralized and that the water is safe.
Once the Flood Control District determines that the water is safe, the valve is opened and the water
pumped out to the storm water system.
Construction activity, including grading, clearing, grubbing, filling, excavation, development or
redevelopment of land that results in a disturbance of one (1) acre or more of the total land area, or less if
part of a larger plan of development or sale, must secure a storm water discharge permit in compliance
with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
regulations (CFR Parts 122-124, Nov. 1990). The permit must be secured by filing a Notice of Intent for
the State General Permit for Construction Activity with the State Water Resources Control Board. The
notice must be filed prior to the start of construction. Copies of the State General Permit and Notice of
Intent are available at the District.
The project will not place housing or other structures within a 100-year flood hazard area. The project’s
final improvement plans will be reviewed by the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District for conformance
with the Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Pan, and will, therefore, not expose people to a
significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a
levee or dam. The project area is considerably built-out, and urban, and therefore not prone to seiche,
tsunami or mudflow.
The mitigation measures of Master EIR No. 10130 are incorporated herein by reference and are required to
be implemented by the attached mitigation monitoring checklist dated May 29, 2014.

The project will be constructed on an approximately 11.63 acre site. The proposed M-3 zone district is
consistent with the planned land use of heavy industrial pursuant to Section 12-403-B-1 of the Fresno
Municipal Code.
As discussed above, the proposed project is consistent with the 2025 Fresno General Plan and Edison
Community Plan and Fresno Municipal Code Section 12-228, the "M-3" (Heavy Industrial) zone district.
The proposed project will not physically divide an established community given that the proposed industrial
development will be located on property that has been used for industrial purposes for decades
(approximately 30 years).
The proposed project will not conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation. The proposed
use is specifically allowed in the proposed zone district and will be required to comply with all codes and
regulations. The proposed project is in compliance with several goals and policies contained in both the
2025 Fresno General Plan (General Plan) and the Edison Community Plan. For example, Objective C-13
of the 2025 Fresno General Plan is to plan and support industrial development to promote job growth while
enhancing Fresno’s urban environment. A variety of subcontractors will be working at the project site.
Many of their employees and suppliers are located in or in close proximity to District 3. For reference, see
attached list of subcontractors, which includes number of employees, suppliers, estimated wages and
related payroll, and product valuation as it relates to purchases taking place within District 3.
Supporting policy C-13-i is intended to provide sufficient opportunities for heavy industrial planned uses in
areas that are accessible from major transportation corridors, and where land use compatibility issues,
health and safety concerns and public facility and service needs can be addressed to ensure stability of
economic investments and opportunities for growth. The proposed project will meet the intent of these
objectives and policies because the proposed project will integrate well into the existing surrounding
industrial uses.
Similarly, the goals of the Edison Community Plan are directed toward providing a framework for public and
private actions which will stimulate the long-term balanced growth of the community. In order to achieve
this overall purpose there are three primary objectives: (1) Stimulate growth in the Edison Community by
improving the quality of the environment and the strategic provision of public facilities improvements; and
(2) Stimulate an increase of income levels throughout the Edison Community through programs of
-28-
Initial Study for S-13-047

economic and employment development.
Therefore, it is staff’s opinion that the proposed site plan review application is consistent with respective
general and community plan objectives and policies and will not conflict with any applicable land use plan,
policy or regulation of the City of Fresno. The proposed project is found; (1) To be consistent with the
goals, objectives, and policies of the applicable 2025 Fresno General Plan and Edison Community Plan;
(2) To be suitable for the type and density of development; (3) To be safe from potential cause or
introduction of serious public health problems; and, (4) To not conflict with any public interests in the
subject site or adjacent lands.
No habitat conservation plans or natural community conservation plans in the region pertain to the natural
resources that exist on the subject site or in its immediate vicinity. Therefore, there would be no impacts.

region and the residents of the state. The subject site is not delineated on a local general plan, specific
plan or other land use plan as a locally-important mineral resource recovery site and will, therefore, not
result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource.

expose people residing or working in the
project area to excessive noise levels?
x
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private
airstrip, would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to
excessive noise levels?
x
The proposed project will not expose persons to excessive noise levels. Although the project will create
additional activity in the area and will be located adjacent to a railroad track, the project will be required to
comply with all noise policies from the 2025 Fresno General Plan and noise codes from the Fresno
Municipal Code. Policy H-1-d of the 2025 Fresno General Plan states that “the city shall require an
acoustical analysis in those cases where a project potentially threatens to expose existing or proposed
noise-sensitive land uses to excessive noise levels. The presumption of potentially excessive noise levels
shall be based on the location of new noise-sensitive uses to known noise sources or staff's professional
judgment that a potential for adverse noise impacts exists”. Because of the project’s location abutting
railroad tracks and being located within an established heavy industrial area, staff did not require the
applicant to prepare an acoustical analysis.
There will be a temporary increase in noise levels during construction of the project; however, the applicant
will be required to comply with all applicable codes and regulations during construction. Construction noise
will be reduced through the implementation of a Fresno Municipal Code requirement that limits construction
days and times. In addition, the construction of the proposed project is subject to standard rules and
regulations that are incorporated into the project that will minimize potentially significant short-term
localized noise impacts to noise sensitive receivers caused by the operation of construction equipment. As
part of the project, construction specifications for the project will require that all construction equipment be
maintained according to the manufacturers’ specifications, and that noise generating construction
equipment is equipped with mufflers. Therefore, there will be a less than significant impact for temporary
noise levels.
Although the project area is located within an airport land use plan (Fresno-Chandler Downtown Airport
Master and Environs) and traffic pattern zone of FCEA, the project will not expose people residing or
-30-

May 29, 2014
working in the project area to excessive noise levels from the airport because the proposed project is
simply in the airport review area and is not within an identified noise contour identified by the airport land
use plan.
Based on the above analysis, exposure to noise levels in excess of standards established in the general
plan and noise ordinance is not expected and impacts related to noise will be less than significant.

The proposed project will not substantially induce population growth because the project is being proposed
as an industrial use consistent with the 2025 Fresno General Plan and Edison Community Plan. The
project will not displace existing housing; therefore it will not necessitate the construction of replacement
housing. The project will not displace any people; therefore there is no need for replacement housing.

The subject site is located approximately 1/2 miles from Fire Station #19 and is within the City of Fresno
police area. The fire department has required on-site fire hydrants with a flow of 1,500 GPM with a
minimum eight (8) inch water main. Further, the existing private water system for this property has been
out of service for several years and it would be highly impractical to place it back into service. The existing
current public water main will need to be extended to the front of the property (approximately 1,000 feet).
All required fire access lanes shall be provided and maintained with an approved ‘all weather’ surface
capable of supporting 80,000 ib. vehicles (minimum four (4) inch of base rock over compacted or
undisturbed native soil or per approved engineered plans). Year-round and with twenty-four (24) feet
minimum width or other approved method that would prevent shoulder degradation. Therefore, police and
fire protection services are available to serve the subject site. The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control
District (FMFCD) has indicated that the FMFCD system could accommodate the proposed site plan review
application and permanent drainage service is available.
The demand for parks generated by the project will be within planned service levels of the City of Fresno
Parks and Community Services Department and the applicant will pay any required impact fees at the time
building permits are obtained.
Any new commercial/industrial development occurring as a result of the proposed project will have an
impact on the School District’s student housing capacity. The School District, through local funding, is in a
position to mitigate its shortage of classrooms to accommodate planned population growth for the
foreseeable future. However, the District recognizes that the legislature, as a matter of law, has deemed
under Government Code Section 65996, that all school facilities impacts are mitigated as a consequence
of SB 50 Level 1, 2 and 3 developer fee legislative provisions. The developer will pay appropriate impact
fees at time of building permits. The Fresno Unified School District levies a commercial/industrial
development fee of $0.51 per square foot. The proposed office space would be subject to the commercial
rate of development fees. However, the proposed warehouse space would be exempt from fees if the
space is used exclusively for storage and does not result in an increased number of employees. The new
development on the property will be subject to the development fee prior to issuance of a building permit.
The Department of Public Utilities has reviewed the site plan review application and has determined that
sewer and water facilities are available to provide service to the subject site subject to several conditions
discussed earlier.
Therefore, the proposed project will not affect public services beyond what was analyzed in the Master
Environmental Impact Report No. 10130/SCH No. 2001071097 for the 2025 Fresno General Plan.

The Public Works Department reviewed the proposed project and determined that a traffic study is not
required because the proposed project would generate a count of 213 Average Daily Trips (A.D.T.), based
upon code 150 and 710 (ITE) of the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ Trip Generation manual. Thus,
the proposed project is not expected to generate traffic which would significantly impact any nearby roads.
Therefore, the project would have a less than significant impact and not cause an increase in traffic which
is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system, or in a substantial
increase in vehicle miles traveled.
The proposed project will not conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of
effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system because the project would not result in
increasing the level of service beyond the level allowed by the 2025 Fresno General Plan. The proposed
project will not conflict with a congestion management program. The project proposes industrial
development and will, therefore, not result in a change in air traffic patterns. The proposed project will not
substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses.
The Public Works Department, Traffic Engineering Division, and the Department of Transportation - District
6 has reviewed the proposed project and potential traffic related impacts for the site plan review application
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. Furthermore, it is anticipated that this development
would impact State facilities along State Route (SR) 180 at Marks Avenue however this interchange is
relatively new and has adequate capacity to accommodate any traffic. It is also anticipated that this
development would impact State facilities along SR 99 at Belmont Avenue however there is currently no
planned improvement at this location. Therefore, the project will mitigate any traffic-related impacts by
paying into the City of Fresno’s TSMI program as well as the Fresno RTMF.
The proposed project will not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit,
bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities. The
project has been reviewed by the Fresno Fire Department and it has been determined that the proposed
project will not result in inadequate emergency access as discussed earlier in this document.

The area street plans are the product of careful planning that projects traffic capacity needs based on the
densities and intensities of planned land uses anticipated at build-out of the planned area. These streets
will provide adequate access to, and recognize the traffic generating characteristics of, individual properties
and, at the same time, afford the community an adequate and efficient circulation system.
Therefore, no substantial increase in transportation or traffic is expected to result from the proposed
project.

The project site will be serviced by the Solid Waste Division and have water and sewer facilities available
subject to several conditions.
The proposed project is not expected to exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable
Regional Water Quality Control Board and will not result in the construction of new water or wastewater
treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, therefore no significant environmental effects can
result from the construction of said facilities. The project plans will be reviewed by the Fresno Metropolitan
Control District, therefore the construction of any required storm water drainage facilities will not cause
significant environmental effects. Sufficient water supplies are available to serve the project from existing
resources and no new or expanded entitlements are needed. The project will generate a minimal amount
of wastewater and solid waste and will, therefore, not have significant wastewater or landfill impacts. Any
demolition material generated by construction activities will be disposed of properly; therefore the project
will comply with federal, state and local statues related to solid waste.

to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number
or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory; additionally, the project site is located within an area, which has
been predominantly developed with urban uses. Additionally, there are no fish or wildlife species, plant or
animal community, located within the project area. There is no evidence in the record to indicate that the
increment of environmental impacts that would be potentiated by this project would be cumulatively
significant. There is also no evidence in the record that the proposed project would have any adverse
impacts directly, or indirectly, on human beings. Therefore, there are no mandatory findings of
significance.

EXHIBIT C
MASTER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (MEIR)
REVIEW SUMMARY
Projected Population and Housing. The City of Fresno experienced a period of notable
growth in the construction of single family residences over the first five-year period of the 2025
Fresno General Plan (2003 through 2007). However, this development has occurred within the
parameters anticipated by the General Plan and the mitigation measures established by Master
Environmental Impact Report (MEIR 10130/SCH 2001071097). The General Plan and its MEIR
utilized a projected population growth rate for purposes of land use and resource planning. This
projection anticipated an annual average population growth of approximately 1.9 percent over
the 23-year planning period. Population estimates provided by the State of California
Department of Finance (DOF) indicate a population growth of approximately 60, 000 people
between 2002 and 2007 with a growth rate varying from 1.47 to 1.97 percent per year. These
estimates are well within the growth projections of the General Plan and MEIR.
As of May 2013, the City has processed 136 plan amendment applications since the adoption of
the 2025 Fresno General Plan. These applications have resulted in changes of planned land
use that affected approximately 1,586 acres, representing approximately one percent of the land
area within the 2025 Fresno General Plan boundary. The impacts of these amendments are
minimal and not significant in relation to the balance of the density and intensity of the land uses
impacted by the plan amendment applications.
Based upon this, many of the assumptions relied upon for the MEIR to address other impacts,
such as traffic, air quality, need for public utilities, services and facilities and water supplies are
still valid to the extent that these assumptions relied upon projected population growth during
the General Plan planning period. For this reason and the others provided below, the Staff finds
that the circumstances have not changed from the time the MEIR was certified and/or new
information is not known pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15179(b)(1) and the MEIR may
still be relied upon.
Transportation and Circulation. Subsequent to the certification of the MEIR the City of
Fresno has required the preparation of approximately 200 site specific traffic impact studies and
had required the provision of street, intersection signalization and transportation improvements
in accordance with the adopted mitigation measures of the MEIR. The City’s Traffic Engineer
reports that through review of these approximately 200 traffic impact studies, the City has not
seen traffic counts substantially different than those predicted by the MEIR. Concurrently with
these efforts, the City adopted a new program for traffic signal and major street impact fees to
pay for planned improvements throughout Fresno (not just in new growth areas, as has been
the case with the previous impact fee program). These fees will more comprehensively provide
for meeting transportation infrastructure needs and will expedite reimbursement for
developments, which construct improvements that exceed the project’s proportionate share of
the corresponding traffic or transportation capacity needs.
In addition to the local street system, the City has entered into an agreement with the California
Department of Transportation to collect impact fees for state highway facilities which may be
impacted by new development projects. The City participates in the Fresno County
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 2
Transportation Authority, which recently was successful in obtaining voter re-authorization of a
half-cent sales tax to be dedicated to a wide range of transportation facilities and programs
(including mass transit). The City is also an active participant in ongoing regional transportation
planning efforts, such as a freeway deficiency study, a corridor study for one or more additional
San Joaquin River crossings, and the State’s “Blueprint for the Valley” process. All these studies
were commenced after the MEIR was certified, but none of them is yet completed. Therefore, it
cannot be concluded that Fresno’s environmental setting or the MEIR analysis of traffic and
circulation have materially changed since November of 2002.
Therefore, Staff finds that the circumstances have not changed from the time the MEIR was
certified and/or new information is not known based upon traffic impacts pursuant to CEQA
Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).
Air Quality and Global Climate Change Staff has worked closely with the regional San
Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) since the November 2002 certification
of the 2025 Fresno General Plan Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR). Potential air
quality impacts have been analyzed for every environmental assessment initial study done for
City development projects. Projects are required to comply with SJVAPCD rules and
regulations via conditions of approval and mitigation measures formulated in the MEIR.
Overall, revisitation of these issues leads to the conclusion that, while there have been changes
in air quality laws, planning requirements, and rules and regulations since certification of the
MEIR, the actual environmental setting has not evidenced degradation of air quality. (Because
air quality and global climate change are matters of some public controversy, additional
documentation has been supplied on this issue; please refer to the appended full analysis with
supporting data.)
In conjunction with SJVAPCD attainment plans and attendant rules and regulations that were
adopted prior to the certification of the MEIR, policies in the 2025 Fresno General Plan and
MEIR mitigation measures aimed at improving air quality appear to be working. Since 2002,
data show that pollutant levels have been steadily decreasing for ozone/oxidants and for
particulate matter (10 microns and 2 microns in size). Recent adoption of new air quality
attainment plans by SJVAPCD, calling for broader and more stringent rules and regulations to
achieve compliance with national and state standards, is expected to accelerate progress
toward attainment of clean air act standards.
Analysis of global climate change analysis was not part of the MEIR in 2002, due to lack of
scientific consensus on the matter and a lack of analytical tools. However, under the MEIR and
General Plan mitigation measures and policies for reducing all forms of air pollution, levels of
greenhouse gases have been reduced along with the other regulated air pollutants. At this point
in time, detailed analysis and conclusions as to the significance of greenhouse gas emissions
and strategies for mitigation are still not feasible, because the legislatively-mandated
greenhouse gas inventory benchmarking and the environmental analysis policy formulation
tasks of the California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board and the
Governor’s Office of Planning and research are not completed. The information available does
not support any conclusion that Site Plan Review Application No. S-13-047 or other City
projects would have a significantly adverse impact on global climate change. Similarly, there is
insufficient information to conclude that global climate change would have a significantly
adverse impact upon the City of Fresno or specific development projects.
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 3
Staff is not aware of any particular circumstance or information that would make impacts to air
quality a reasonably foreseeable impact or more severe impact from that identified in the MEIR.
Therefore, Staff finds that the circumstances have not changed from the time the MEIR was
certified and/or new information is not known based upon air quality impacts pursuant to CEQA
Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).
Water Supply, Quality and Hydrology. The City of Fresno has initiated, continued and
completed numerous projects addressing general plan and MEIR provisions relating maintaining
an adequate supply of safe drinking water to serve present and future projected needs. A water
meter retrofit program to meter service to all consumers by the end of the year 2012 is
underway, in compliance with State law that predated the MEIR and with new regulations
affecting the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Central Valley Project. (While the federal regulation
has trumped a voter-approved City charter amendment that specifically prohibited using meters
for residential development, the City’s plans and policies have always contained measures
calling for water conservation and for seeking ways to reduce average consumption of
households. Metering is recognized as the best implementation measure for this, and does not
constitute a change in the City’s environmental setting or the analysis and mitigation in the 2025
Fresno General Plan MEIR.) After certification of the MEIR, the City commenced operation of
its northeast area surface water treatment facility; initiated and began construction of additional
groundwater wells with granular activated carbon filtration systems as necessary to remediate
groundwater contamination that was discussed in the MEIR and its mitigation measures;
provided for additional groundwater recharge areas; and expanded its network of water
transmission main pipeline improvements allowing for improved distribution of water supply.
As called for in 2025 General Plan policies and MEIR mitigation measures, the City has
implemented several programs for preventing water pollution: In conjunction with Fresno
Metropolitan Flood Control District and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) City
inspectors assist in enforcing the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Stormwater
Pollution Prevention regulations, The Planning and Development Department also consults with
RWQCB on specific development projects which may require on-site wastewater treatment, and
provides project-specific conditions and even supplemental environmental analysis for such
projects, with specific mitigation measures. The City’s Department of Public Utilities has
enhanced its industrial pretreatment permitting program for industrial wastewater generators
who discharge to the Fresno-Clovis Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility.
Staff is not aware of any particular circumstance or information that would make impacts to
water supply, quality and hydrology a reasonably foreseeable impact or more severe impact
from that identified in the MEIR. The Director of Public Utilities finds that the circumstances
have not changed from the time the MEIR was certified and/or new information is not known
based upon traffic impacts pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).
Agricultural Resources. The implementation of applicable policies since adoption of the 2025
Fresno General Plan has encouraged the development of urban uses in a more systematic
pattern that avoids discontinuity and the creation of vacant by-passed properties. These efforts,
together with the requirement to record “right-to-farm” covenants, facilitate the continuation of
existing agricultural uses within the city’s planned urban growth boundary during the interim
period preceding orderly development of the property as anticipated by the General Plan. Staff
is not aware of any particular circumstance or information that would make impacts from loss of
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 4
agricultural resources a reasonably foreseeable impact or more severe impact from that
identified in the MEIR. Staff finds that the circumstances have not changed from the time the
MEIR was certified and/or new information is not known related to loss of agricultural resources
pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).
Demand for Utilities and Service Systems. The City of Fresno has continued to provide for
utilities and service systems commensurate with the demands of increased population and
employment within its service area, implementing policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and
conforming to MEIR mitigation measures. Programmatic measures have been continued,
expanded or initiated to increase the efficiencies of providing services in a manner that will
reduce potential impacts upon the natural and human environment. These improvements have
included bringing the City’s first surface water treatment plant on-line to distribute treated
surface water, thereby preventing a worsening of groundwater overdraft in northeast Fresno;
converting a substantial portion of the City’s service vehicle fleet to alternative fuels; and
expanding recycling and conservation measures (including contracting with a major material
sorting and recycling facility and a green waste processor to comply with AB 939 solid waste
reduction mandates) to more judiciously use resources and minimize adverse impacts the
environment. Adoption of City-wide police and fire facility development impact fees and a
contract to consolidate fire service with an adjacent fire prevention district have been
accomplished to assure the provision of adequate firefighting capacity to serve a broader
geographic extend of urban development and more intensive and mixed-use development
throughout the metropolitan area.
Because these changes were anticipated in, or provided for by, the 2025 Fresno General Plan
and its MEIR mitigation measures, they do not constitute a significant or adverse alteration of
Fresno’s environmental setting. Staff is not aware of any particular circumstance or information
that would make impacts from increased demand for utilities and service systems and public
facilities a reasonably foreseeable impact or more severe impact from that identified in the
MEIR. Staff finds that the circumstances have not changed from the time the MEIR was
certified and/or new information is not known related to increased demand for utilities, service
systems, and public facilities pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).
Demand for Recreational Facilities. The City of Fresno has adopted and City-wide parks
facility and Quimby Act fee which provides for the acquisition of new open space and recreation
facilities as well as improvements to existing facilities and programs to provide a broader range
of recreation opportunities. Staff is not aware of any particular circumstance or information that
would make impacts from increased demand for recreational facilities a reasonably foreseeable
impact or more severe impact from that identified in the MEIR. Staff finds that the
circumstances have not changed from the time the MEIR was certified and/or new information is
not known related to increased demand for utilities, service systems, and public facilities
pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).
Biological Resources. The City continues to evaluate all development proposals for potential
impacts upon natural habitats and associated species dependent upon these habitats. The City
supports continuing efforts to acquire the most prominent habitats where appropriate, such as
portions of the San Joaquin River environs. When development or public works projects have
been proposed in this area, they have been subject to site-specific evaluation through
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 5
supplemental environmental analyses, and appropriate mitigation measures and conditions
applied as derived from consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California
Department of Fish and Game. The City has imposed MEIR mitigation measures related to
Biological Resources on projects that identified potential impacts to biological resources. Staff
finds that this has adequately addressed any potential impact to biological resources. Staff is
not aware of any particular circumstance or information that would make impacts from loss of
biological resources a reasonably foreseeable impact or more severe impact from that identified
in the MEIR. Staff finds that the circumstances have not changed from the time the MEIR was
certified and/or new information is not known related to loss of biological resources pursuant to
CEQA Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).
Potential Disturbance of Cultural Resources. The City of Fresno has implemented
numerous efforts to identify historic and cultural resources, and provide thorough consideration
as to their value and contributions to understanding or historic and cultural heritage.
Additionally, staff follows the MEIR mitigation measures for potential cultural resources. Staff is
not aware of any particular circumstance or information that would make impacts to cultural
resources a reasonably foreseeable impact that was not identified in the MEIR. Staff finds that
the circumstances have not changed from the time the MEIR was certified and/or new
information is not known related to loss of cultural resources pursuant to CEQA Guideline
Section 15179(b)(1).
Within the last five years, the City has lost two lawsuits (Valley Advocates v. COF and Heritage
Fresno v. RDA, City of Fresno) related to historical resources that related to six particular
buildings at two different particular sites. The CEQA projects at issue were reviewed under
independent CEQA documents, not under the MEIR as subsequent projects (i.e., one under a
separate EIR and one under a categorical exemption). These projects are site specific and are
not reasonably expected to create additional impacts to cultural resources that would affect a
finding under Section 15179. These particular projects may be properly assessed under the
MEIR focused EIR procedures or mitigated negative declaration procedures under Section
15178 and not affect the overall MEIR findings.
Generation of Noise. The City of Fresno continues to implement mitigation measures and
applicable plan policies to reduce the level of noise to which sensitive noise receptors are
exposed. These efforts include identification of high noise exposure areas, limiting the
development of new noise sensitive uses within these identified areas and conducting noise
exposure studies and requiring implementation of appropriate design measures to reduce noise
exposure. Staff finds that these efforts have adequately addressed any potential impacts that
may have arisen related to noise and is not aware of any facts or circumstance that would make
noise impacts have a more severe impact than that identified in the MEIR. Additionally, staff is
not aware of any information or data that was not known at the time that the MEIR was certified
that would be able to mitigate noise impacts beyond that identified and contemplated by the
MEIR. Staff finds that the circumstances have not changed from the time the MEIR was
certified and/or new information is not known related to noise impacts pursuant to CEQA
Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 6
Geology and Soils. The City of Fresno has a predominantly flat terrain with few geologic or soil
quality constraints. The City continues to apply applicable local and state construction codes
and standards and continues to adopt new standards as appropriate to insure the safety of
residents and protection of property improvements.
Staff finds that these codes and standards have adequately addressed any potential impacts
that may have arisen related to geology and soils and is not aware of any facts or circumstance
that would make impacts related to geology and soils a reasonably foreseeable impact not
addressed in the MEIR. Staff finds that the circumstances have not changed from the time the
MEIR was certified and/or new information is not known regarding impacts related to geology
and soils pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).
Hazards and Potential Generation of Hazardous Materials The City continues to implement
General Plan policies and assure compliance with MEIR mitigation measures as new
development is planned and constructed, and as Code Enforcement activities are conducted, in
order to prevent flood damage, structural failures due to soil and geologic instability, and wildfire
losses. Development in the vicinity of airports has been reviewed and appropriately conditioned
with regard to adopted and updated airport safety and noise policies. In consultation with
Fresno County Environmental Health and the California Environmental Protection Agency
Department of Toxic Substances Control, industrial and commercial facilities that use, handle,
or store potentially hazardous materials are appropriately sited, conditioned, and inspected
periodically by the Fresno Fire Department to prevent adverse occurrences. Homeland Security
regulations have been taken into consideration when reviewing food production, processing and
storage facilities, and the City has conducted and participated in multiple emergency response
exercises to develop response plans that would protect life, health, and safety in the event of
railroad accidents and other potential hazards.
Staff finds that these procedures, as outlined in the 2025 Fresno General Plan and its MEIR (as
well as in related regulations and codes pertaining to hazards and hazardous materials) have
adequately addressed potential impacts that may have arisen related to hazards. Staff is not
aware of any facts or circumstance that would make impacts related to hazards and hazardous
materials reasonably foreseeable impacts not addressed in the MEIR. Staff finds that the
circumstances have not materially changed from the time the MEIR was certified and/or new
information is not known related to impacts from hazards and hazardous materials pursuant to
CEQA Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).
Demand for Energy. The City of Fresno has taken a number of steps to reduce energy
consumption, both “in house” to set an example, and in the policy arena. The most notable “in-
house” actions are the following:
• Construction of solar panel generator facilities at the Municipal Services Center (MSC)
and at Fresno-Yosemite International Airport. The MSC facility, completed in 2004,
generates 3.05 GWt of energy (equivalent to operation of 286 homes per year) and has
resulted in reduction of 966 tons of CO 2 emissions (equivalent to 2,414,877 vehicular
miles not driven).
• Replacement of a significant number of vehicles in the municipal fleet with clean air
vehicles (please refer to the following table).

MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 8
In the development standards policy arena, the City is taking numerous steps to increase
residential densities and connectivity between residential and commercial land uses, thus
facilitating more walking, biking and transit ridership (which has increased 22% in recent
months) and saving energy:
• Amended the zoning code to allow development of mixed use projects in all commercial
zone districts citywide, and in the C-M and M-1 zone districts within the Central Area.
• Amended the zoning code to allow density bonuses for affordable housing projects.
Such bonuses permit density increases of approximately 30%.
• Amended zoning code to eliminate the “drop down” provision, which permitted
development at one density range less than that shown on the adopted land use map.
• Amended the zoning code to increase heights in various residential and commercial
zone districts and reduce the minimum lot size in the R-1 zone district from 6,000 to
5,000 square feet.
• Initiated the Activity Center Study, which is defining the potential Activity Centers located

Potential Aesthetic Impacts. Design Guidelines were appended to the 2025 Fresno General
Plan through the plan adoption process conducted concurrently with MEIR analysis. As noted
previously, General Plan policies encourage and promote infill development and the City of
Fresno Planning and Development Department has implemented design guidelines for
reviewing infill housing development proposals. The Department has prepared detailed design
guidelines for the Tower District Specific Plan area and the Fulton-Lowell Specific Plan area,
both of which contain enclaves of unique structures. The City has adopted policies promoting
incorporation of public art within private development projects, which will contribute to a more
appealing visual environment, benefitting users of the private property as well as the
surrounding community. In addition, the City of Fresno and the City of Fresno Redevelopment
Agency have funded public improvements which improve the general aesthetic. Staff is not
aware of any situation or circumstances where there are reasonably foreseeable aesthetic
impacts not identified and assessed in the MEIR. Staff finds that the circumstances have not
changed from the time the MEIR was certified and/or new information is not known related
aesthetic impacts pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15179(b)(1).

APPENDIX
STATUS OF MEIR ANALYSIS WITH REGARD TO AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Planning staff has worked closely with the regional San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control
District (SJVAPCD) since the November 2002 certification of the 2025 Fresno General Plan
Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR). Potential air quality impacts have been analyzed
for every environmental assessment initial study done for City development projects. Projects
are required to comply with SJVAPCD rules and regulations via conditions of approval and
mitigation measures formulated in the MEIR.
Overall, revisitation of these issues leads to the conclusion that, while there have been changes
in air quality laws, planning requirements, and rules and regulations since certification of the
MEIR, the actual environmental setting has not evidenced degradation of air quality. In
conjunction with SJVAPCD attainment plans and attendant rules and regulations that were
adopted prior to the certification of the MEIR, policies in the 2025 Fresno General Plan and
MEIR mitigation measures aimed at improving air quality appear to be working. Since 2002,
data show that pollutant levels have been steadily decreasing for ozone/oxidants and for
particulate matter (10 microns and 2 microns in size). Recent adoption of new air quality
attainment plans by SJVAPCD, calling for broader and more stringent rules and regulations to
achieve compliance with national and state standards, is expected to accelerate progress
toward attainment of clean air act standards.
Analysis of global climate change analysis was not part of the MEIR in 2002, due to lack of
scientific consensus on the matter and a lack of analytical tools. However, under the MEIR and
General Plan mitigation measures and policies for reducing all forms of air pollution, levels of
greenhouse gases have been reduced along with the other regulated air pollutants. At this point
in time, detailed analysis and conclusions as to the significance of greenhouse gas emissions
and strategies for mitigation are still not feasible, because the legislatively-mandated
greenhouse gas inventory benchmarking and the environmental analysis policy formulation
tasks of the California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board and the
Governor’s Office of Planning and research are not completed. The information available does
not support any conclusion that Site Plan Review Application No. S-13-047 or other City
projects would have a significantly adverse impact on global climate change. Similarly, there is
insufficient information to conclude that global climate change would have a significantly
adverse impact upon the City of Fresno or specific development projects.
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 11
SUPPORTING DATA AND ANALYSIS
While there have been changes in air quality regulations since the November 2002 certification
of the 2025 Fresno General Plan MEIR, the actual environmental setting has not evidenced
degradation of air quality.
The adverse air quality impacts associated with the myriad of human activities potentiated by
the long range general plan for the Fresno metropolitan area can be expected to remain
significant and unavoidable, and cannot be completely mitigated through the General Plan or
through project-level mitigation measures. In order to provide a suitable living environment
within the metropolitan area, the General Plan and its MEIR included numerous air pollution
reduction measures.
The 2025 Fresno General Plan and its MEIR gave emphasis to pursuing cleaner air as an over-
arching goal. The urban form element of the General Plan was designed to foster efficient
transportation and to support mass transit and subdivision design standards are being
implemented to support pedestrian travel. Strong policy direction in the Public Facilities and
Resource Conservation elements require that air pollution improvement be a primary
consideration for all land development proposals, that development and public facility projects
conform to the 2025 Fresno General Plan and its EIR mitigation measures, and that the City
work conjunctively with other agencies toward the goal of improving air quality.
The MEIR mitigation checklist sketched out a series of actions for the City to pursue with regard
to its own operations, and City departments are pursuing these objectives. The Fresno Area
Express (FAX) bus fleet and the Department of Public Utilities solid waste collection truck fleet
are being converted to cleaner fuels. Lighter-duty vehicle fleets are also incorporating
alternative fuels and “hybrid” vehicles. Mass transit system improvements are supporting
increased ridership. Construction of sidewalks, paseos, bicycle lanes and bike paths is being
required for new development projects, and are being incorporated into already-built segments
of City rights-of-way with financing from grants, gas tax, and other road construction revenues.
Traffic signal synchronization is being implemented. The Planning and Development
Department amended the Fresno Municipal Code to ban all types of residential woodburning
appliances, thereby removing the most prominent source of particulate matter pollution from
new construction.
Pursuant to a specific MEIR mitigation measure, all proposed development projects are
evaluated with the “Urbemis” air quality impact model that evaluates potential generation of a
range of air pollutants and pollutant precursors from project construction, project-related traffic,
and from various area-wide non-point air pollution sources (e.g., combustion appliances, yard
maintenance activities, etc.). The results of this “Urbemis” model evaluation are used to
determine the significance of development projects’ air quality impacts as well as the basis for
any project-specific air quality mitigation measures.
There are no new (i.e., unforeseen in the MEIR) reasonable mitigation measures which have
become available since late 2002 that would assure the reduction of cumulative (city-wide) air
quality impacts to a less than significant level at project buildout, even with full compliance with
attainment plans and rules promulgated by the California Air Resources Board and the San
Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 12
Through implementation of regional air quality attainment plans by the San Joaquin Valley
Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD), as supported by implementation of 2025
Fresno General Plan policies and MEIR mitigation measures, air pollution indices have shown
improvement. Progress is being made toward attainment of federal and state ambient air
quality standards.
Ozone/oxidant levels have shown gradual improvement, as depicted in the following graphs and
charts from the California Air Resources Board (graphics with an aqua background) and from
the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (those with no background color):
GRAPH NOTES: The "National 1997 8-Hour Ozone Design Value" is a three-year running average of the
fourth-highest 8-hour ozone measurement averages in each of the three years (computed according to the
method specified in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Appendix I).
Under the 1997 standard, in effect through the end of 2007, “Attainment” would be achieved if the three-
year average were less than, or equal to, 84 parts per billion (ppb), or 0.084 parts per million (ppm). In 2008, a
new National 8-Hour Ozone Attainment standard went into effect: a three year average of 75 ppb (0.075
ppm). Data and attainment status for 2008 is expected to become available in 2009.”
The California Clean Air Act has a different calculation method for its 8-hr oxidant [ozone] standard design
value, and an attainment standard that is lower (0.070 ppm). The ozone improvement trend under the state
Clean Air Act 8-hour ozone standard parallels the trend for the national 8-hour standard.
Correspondingly, the number of days per year in which the National 8-hour Ozone Standard has
been exceeded have also decreased since the end of 2002:

In 1997, the Federal Clean Air Act repealed the former National 1-hour Ozone standard.
However, the California Clean Air Act retains this air pollution parameter. The days per year in
which the State of California 1-hour ozone standard has been exceeded have also shown a
generally decreasing trend in the time since the 2025 Fresno General Plan MEIR was certified:

MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 14
The current ozone attainment plan for the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, in place when the
MEIR for the 2025 Fresno General Plan was certified, is linked to a federal designation of
“Serious Nonattainment.” While ozone/oxidant air quality conditions are showing a trend toward
improvement, the rate of progress toward full attainment is not sufficient to reach the national
ambient air quality standards by the target date established by the attainment plan. Mobile
sources (vehicle engines) are the primary source for ozone precursors, and the regulation of
mobile sources occurs at the national and state levels and is beyond the direct regulatory reach
of the regional air pollution control agency. As noted in the 2025 Fresno General Plan MEIR
and reflected in the Statement of Overriding Considerations made when the MEIR was certified,
potentially significant and unavoidable adverse air quality impacts are inherent in population
growth and construction in the City of Fresno, given the Valley’s climatology and the limitations
on regulatory control of air pollutant precursors.
In 2004, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, in conjunction with the California
Air Resources Board, approved a re-designation for the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin to
“Extreme Nonattainment” status for ozone, approving a successor air quality attainment plan
that projects San Joaquin Valley attainment of the national 8-hour ozone standard by year 2023.
This designation and its accompanying attainment plan were submitted to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in November of 2004. To date, no formal action has
been taken by USEPA to date on the proposed designation or the attainment plan; the Valley
remains in “Severe Non- attainment” as of this writing.
The change from “Severe” to “Extreme” ozone Nonattainment would represent an extension of
the deadline for attainment, but since the regional air basin would not have achieved attainment
by the original deadline, this does not materially affect environmental conditions for the City of
Fresno as they were analyzed in the MEIR for the 2025 Fresno General Plan. The proposed
revised ozone attainment plan includes not only all the measures in the preceding ozone
attainment plan, but additional measures for regulating a wider range of activities to attain
ambient air quality standards.
The Valley’s progress toward attaining national and state standards for PM-10 (particulate
matter less than 10 microns in diameter) has been greater since certification of the MEIR:

MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 15
As the preceding chart reveals, levels of PM-10 air pollution have decreased since 2002. When
the MEIR was certified, the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin was designated in “Serious
Nonattainment” for national standards. As of 2007, the number of days where standards were
exceeded has decreased to the extent that the Valley has been deemed to be in Attainment.
Under Federal Clean Air Act Section 107(d)(3), PM-10 attainment plans and associated rules
and regulations remain in place to maintain this level of air quality. New and expanded
regulations proposed to combat “Extreme” ozone pollution and PM-2.5 (discussed below) would
be expected to provide even more improvement in PM-10 pollution situation.
The 2025 Fresno General Plan provided policy direction in support of “indirect source review” as
a method for controlling mobile source pollution. Although vehicle engines and fuels are outside
the purview of local and regional jurisdictions in California, approaching mobile source pollution
indirectly, through regulation and mitigation of land uses which generate traffic, is an alternative
approach.
In March of 2006, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District adopted Rule 9510, its
Indirect Source Review Rule. Full implementation of this Rule has been delayed due to
litigation (mitigation fees are being collected and retained in holding accounts), but projects are
already being evaluated under Rule 9510 and are implementing many aspects of the Rule, such
as clean air design (pedestrian and bike facilities; proximal siting of residential and commercial
land uses; low-pollution construction equipment; dust control measures; cleaner-burning
combustion appliances, etc.).
It is anticipated that full implementation (release of mitigation impact fees for various clean air
projects throughout the San Joaquin Valley) and subsequent augmentation of the Indirect
Source Review Rule will accelerate progress toward attainment of federal and state ozone
standards, and will be an important component of the attainment plan for PM-2.5 (very fine
particulate matter) and for greenhouse gas reductions to combat global climate change.
PM-2.5 is a newly-designated category of air pollutant, the component of PM-10 comprised of
particles 2.5 microns in diameter or smaller. The 1997 Clean Air Act Amendments directed that
this pollutant be brought under regulatory control, but federal and state standards/designations
had not been finalized when the 2025 Fresno General Plan MEIR was drafted and certified. In
the intervening time, the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin has been classified as being in
“Nonattainment” for the 1997 federal PM-2.5 standard and for the State PM-2.5 standard.
An attainment demonstration plan for the federal 1997 PM-2.5 standard has been adopted by
the SJVAPCD and approved by the California Air Resources Board, and forwarded to the EPA
for approval (status as of mid-2008). The attainment plan would achieve compliance with the
1997 federal Clean Air Act PM-2.5 standard by year 2014, in conjunction with California Air
Resources Board (and US EPA) action to improve diesel engine emissions. The San Joaquin
Valley Air Basin has not yet been classified under the more stringent revised federal 2006
PM-2.5 standard; this classification is expected by 2009.
As with ozone and PM-10 pollution, levels of PM-2.5 have already been reduced by already-
existing air quality improvement planning policies, mitigation measures, and regulations. The
following charts depict historic PM-2.5 monitoring data for the regional air basin. Once the
expected SJVAPCD attainment plan is implemented measures specific to PM-2.5 control, the
rate of progress toward attainment of federal and state PM-2.5 standards will accelerate.

MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 17
When the 2025 Fresno General Plan and its MEIR were approved in late 2002, the planning
and environmental documents did not directly or separately analyze potential global warming
and climate change impacts. However, the general policy direction for consideration of air
quality parameters in development project evaluations and for reducing those air pollutants
which are already under regulation would operate to control these potential adverse impacts.
“Global warming” is the term coined to describe a widespread climate change characterized by
a rising trend in the Earth’s ambient average temperatures with concomitant disturbances in
weather patterns and resulting alteration of oceanic and terrestrial environs and biota. When
sunlight strikes the Earth’s surface, some of it is reflected back into space as infrared radiation.
When the net amount of solar energy reaching Earth’s surface is about the same as the amount
of energy radiated back into space, the average ambient temperature of the Earth’s surface
would remain more or less constant. Greenhouse gases potentially disturb this equilibrium by
absorbing and retaining infrared energy, trapping heat in the atmosphere—the “greenhouse gas
effect.”
The predominant current opinion within the scientific community is that global warming is
occurring, and that it is being caused and/or accelerated via generation of excess “greenhouse
gases” [GHGs], that natural carbon cycle processes (such as photosynthesis) are unable to
absorb sufficient quantities of GHG and cannot keep the level of these gases or their warming
effect under control. It is believed that a combination of factors related to human activities, such
as deforestation and an increased emission of GHG into the atmosphere from combustion and
chemical emissions, is a primary cause of global climate change.
The predominant types of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (those caused by human activity),
are described as follows. It should be noted that the starred GHGs are regulated by existing air
quality policies and rules pursuant to their roles in ozone and particulate matter formation and/or
as potential toxic air contaminants.
• carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), largely generated by combustion activities such as coal and wood
burning and fossil fuel use in vehicles but also a byproduct of respiration and volcanic
activity;
• *methane (CH 4 ), known commonly as “natural gas,” is present in geologic deposits and is
also evolved by anaerobic decay processes and animal digestion. On a ton-for-ton basis,
CH 4 exerts about 20 times the greenhouse gas effect of CO 2 ;
• *nitrous oxide (N 2 O), produced in large part by soil microbes and enhanced through
application of fertilizers. N 2 O is also a byproduct of fossil fuel burning: atmospheric
nitrogen, an inert gas that makes up a large proportion of the atmosphere, is oxidized
when air is exposed to high-temperature combustion. N 2 O is used in some industrial
processes, as a fuel for rocket and racing engines, as a propellant, and as an anesthetic.
N 2 O is one component of “oxides of nitrogen” (NOX), long recognized as precursors of
smog -causing atmospheric oxidants.
• *chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), synthetic chemicals developed in the late 1920s for use as
improved refrigerants (e.g., “Freon™”). It was recognized over two decades ago that this
class of chemicals exerted powerful and persistent greenhouse gas effects. In 1987, the
Montreal Protocol halted production of CFCs.
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 18
• *hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), another class of synthetic refrigerants developed to replace
CFCs;
• *perfluorocarbons (PFCs), used in aluminum and semiconductor manufacturing, have an
extremely stable molecular structure, with biological half-lives tens of thousands of years,
leading to ongoing atmospheric accumulation of these GHGs.
• *sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) is used for insulation in electric equipment, semiconductor
manufacturing, magnesium refining and as a tracer gas for leak detection. Of any gas
evaluated, SF 6 exerts the most powerful greenhouse gas effect, almost 24,000 times as
powerful as that of CO 2 on a ton-for-ton basis.
• water vapor, the most predominant GHG, and a natural occurrence: approximately 85% of
the water vapor in the atmosphere is created by evaporation from the oceans.
In an effort to address the perceived causes of global warming by reducing the amount of
anthropogenic greenhouse gases generated in California, the state enacted the Global Warming
Solutions Act of 2006 (Codified as Health & Safety Code Section 38501 et seq.). Key
provisions include the following:
Δ Codification of the state's goal by requiring that California's GHG emissions be reduced to
1990 “baseline” levels by 2020.
Δ Set deadlines for establishing an enforcement mechanism to reduce GHG emissions:
■ By June 30, 2007, the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") was required to
publish “discrete early action” GHG emission reduction measures. Discrete early
actions are regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to be adopted by the
CARB and enforceable by January 1, 2010;
■ By January 1, 2008, CARB was required to identify what the state's GHG emissions
were in 1990 (set the “baseline”) and approve a statewide emissions limit for the year
2020 that is equivalent to 1990 levels. (These statewide baseline emissions have not
yet been allocated to regions, counties, or smaller political jurisdictions.) By this same
date, CARB was required to adopt regulations to require the reporting and verification
of statewide greenhouse gas emissions.
■ By January 1, 2011, CARB must adopt emission limits and emission reduction
measures to take effect by January 1, 2012.
As support for this legislation, the Act contains factual statements regarding the potential
significant impacts on California's physical environment that could be caused by global
warming. These include, an increase in the intensity and duration of heat waves, the
exacerbation of air quality problems, a reduction in the quality and supply of water to the state
from the Sierra snow pack, a rise in sea levels resulting in the displacement of thousands of
coastal businesses and residences, damage to marine ecosystems and the natural
environment, and an increase in the incidences of infectious diseases, asthma, and other
human health-related problems.
On August 24, 2007, California also enacted legislation (Public Resources Code §§ 21083.05
and 21097) requiring the state Resources Agency to adopt guidelines for addressing climate
change in environmental analysis pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. By
July 1, 2009, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) is required to prepare
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 19
guidelines for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, and transmit those draft regulations
to the Resources Agency. The Resources Agency must then certify and adopt the guidelines by
January 1, 2010.
The recently-released update of the Urbemis computer model (used by the City of Fresno
Planning and Development Department for environmental assessments, pursuant to a specific
MEIR mitigation measure) does provide data on the amounts of CO 2 and oxides of nitrogen
(NOX) potentially generated by development projects. However, at this point in time, neither
CARB nor the SJVAPCD has determined what the 1997 baseline or current “inventory” of GHGs
is for the entire state nor for any region or jurisdiction within the state. No agency has adopted
GHG emission limits and emission reduction measures, and because CEQA guidelines have
not been established for the evaluation and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions (there is an
absence of regulatory guidance). Therefore, the City is unable to productively interpret the
results of the Urbemis model with regard to GHGs, and there is currently no way to determine
the significance of a project’s potential impact upon global warming.
The 2025 Fresno General Plan provides an integrated combination of residential, commercial,
industrial, and public facility uses allowing for proximate location of living, work, educational,
recreational, and shopping activities within Fresno metropolitan area. This combination of uses
has been identified as a potential mitigation measure to address global warming impacts in a
document published by the California Attorney General's Office entitled, The California
Environmental Quality Act Mitigation of Global Warming Impacts (updated January 7, 2008).
Specifically, this document describes this mitigation measure as follows, "Incorporate mixed-
use, infill and higher density development to reduce vehicle trips, promote alternatives to
individual vehicle travel, and promote efficient delivery of services and goods"—echoing
objectives and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan adopted in late 2002.
The General Plan contains a mix of land uses would be expected to generate fewer vehicle
miles traveled per capita, leading to reduced emissions of greenhouse gases from engine
emissions. It provides for overall denser development with high-intensity enclaves, associated
with increased public transit use. The plan fosters mixed use and infill development (being
implemented by mixed-use zoning ordinances added to the Fresno Municipal Code, as directed
by 2025 Fresno General Plan) policies. The urban form element distributes neighborhood-level
and larger commercial development, public facilities such as schools, and recreational sites
throughout the metropolitan area, reducing vehicle trips.
Any manufacturing activities that would generate SF 6 , HFCs, or PFCs would be subject to
subsequent environmental review at the project-specific level, as would any uses which would
generate methane on site. The City of Fresno has adopted an ordinance prohibiting installation
of any woodburning fireplaces or woodburning appliances in new homes, which would reduce
CO 2 and N 2 O from wood combustion.
Through updates in the California Building Code and statewide regulation of appliance
standards, City development projects conform to state-of-the art energy-efficient building,
lighting, and appliance standards as advocated in the California Environmental Protection
Agency’s publication Climate Action Team / Proposed Early Actions to Mitigate Climate Change
in California (April 2007) and in CARB’s Proposed Early Actions to Mitigate Climate Change in
California (April 2007). The City has further incentivized “green” building projects by providing
subsidies for solar photovoltaic equipment for single-family residential construction, by reducing
development standards (including reductions in required parking spaces, which further reduces
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 20
air pollutant and GHG emissions), and by improving its landscape and shading standards (a
topic included in the Design Guidelines adopted with the 2025 Fresno General Plan).
Updated engine and tire efficiency standards would apply to residents’ vehicles, as well as the
statewide initiatives applicable to air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, regional
transportation improvements, power generation and use of solar energy, water supply and water
conservation, landfill methane capture, changes in cement manufacturing processes, manure
management (methane digester protocols), recycling program enhancements, and “carbon
capture” (also known as “carbon sequestration,” technologies for capturing and converting CO 2 ,
removing it from the atmosphere).
Due to the lack of data or regulatory guidance that would indicate the 2025 Fresno General Plan
had a significant adverse impact upon global climate change, the relatively small size of the
Fresno Metropolitan Area in conjunction with the worldwide scope of GHG emissions, and the
emphasis in the 2025 Fresno General Plan upon integrated urban design and air pollution
control measures, it could not be concluded in 2002 nor at present that the 2025 Fresno
General Plan would have a significant adverse impact on global climate change.
As to potential impacts of global warming upon the 2025 Fresno General Plan: the city is
located in the Central Valley, in an urbanized area on flat terrain distant from the Pacific coast
and from rivers and streams. It is outside of identified flood prone areas. Based on its location
we conclude that Fresno is not likely to be significantly affected by the potential impacts of
global climate change such as increased sea level and river/stream channel flooding; nor is it
subject to wildfire hazards. While Fresno does contain areas with natural habitat (the San
Joaquin Bluffs and Riverbottom), a change in these areas’ biota induced by global warming
would not leave them bereft of all habitat value—it would simply mean a change in the species
which would be encountered in these areas. The 2025 Fresno General Plan preserves this
habitat open space area for multiple objectives (protection from soil instability and flood
inundation; conservation of designated high-quality mineral resources), so any natural resource
species changes in those areas would not constitute a significant adverse impact to the city or a
loss of resource area.
Fresno has historically had high ambient summer temperatures and an historic heat mortality
level that is among the highest in the state (5 heat-related deaths annually per 100,000
population). Due to the prevalence of air conditioning in dwellings and commercial buildings, an
increase in extreme heat days from global warming is not expected by the California Air
Resources Board Research Division to significantly increase heat-related deaths in Fresno, as
opposed to possible effects in cooler portions of the state such as Sacramento or Los Angeles
areas (reference: Projections of Public Health Impacts of Climate Change in California:
Scenario Analysis, by Dr. Deborah Dreschler, Air Resources Board, April 9, 2008). Increased
summertime temperatures which may be caused by global warming will be mitigated by the
City’s landscaping standards to provide shade trees, by statewide energy efficiency standards
which insulate dwellings from heat and cold, and by urban design standards which require east-
west orientation of streets and buildings to facilitate solar gain. Fresno has a heat emergency
response plan and provides cooling centers and free transportation to persons who do not have
access to air conditioning.
Secondary health effects of global warming could include increases in respiratory and cardiac
illnesses attributable to poor air quality. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District
provides daily advisories and warnings in times of high ozone levels to help senior citizens and
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 21
other sensitive populations avoid exposure. The SJVAPCD has committed to attainment of fine
particulate matter (PM2.5) standards by Year 2014 and to attainment of oxidant/ozone
standards by Year 2023, and would adopt additional Rules and emission controls as necessary
to decrease emissions inventories by those target dates. There is insufficient information to
indicate that global climate change would prevent attainment of air quality parameters affecting
health.
Pursuant to 2025 Fresno General Plan policy and MEIR mitigation measures, the City’s
Department of Public Utilities and Fire Department are required to affirm that adequate water
service can be provided to all development projects for potable and fire suppression uses. The
City derives much of its water supply from groundwater, using its surface water entitlements
from the Kings and San Joaquin Rivers primarily to recharge the aquifer. A high percentage of
Fresno’s annual precipitation is captured and percolated in ponding basins operated by Fresno
Metropolitan Flood Control District. If global climate change leads to a longer rainy season
and/or more storm events throughout the year, groundwater supplies could be improved by
additional percolation.
The City of Fresno currently treats and distributes only some 20% of its 150,000 acre-foot/year
(AFY) surface water entitlement for the municipal water system, directing another 50,000 to
70.000 AFY to recharge activities via ponding basins. Presently, the City is unable to recharge
the full balance of its annual entitlement in average and wet years, and releases any unused
surface water supplies to area irrigation districts for agricultural use in the metropolitan area,
(which further augments groundwater recharge through percolation of irrigated water).
Future surface water plant construction projects envisioned by the 2025 Fresno General Plan
would account for less than 120,000 acre-feet per year of the surface supply. The General Plan
direction for future Metropolitan Water Resource Management Plans includes exploring the use
of recycled treated wastewater for non-potable uses such as landscape irrigation, which would
further effectively extending the City’s water supply.
If the global climate change were to cause a serious and persistent decrease in Sierra
snowpack, some of Fresno’s water supply could be affected. However, historic records show
that the very long-term prevailing climatic pattern for Central California has included droughts of
long (often, multi-year) duration, interspersed with years of excess precipitation. Decades
before global climate change was considered as a threat to California’s water system, state and
local agencies recognized a need to augment water storage capacity for excess precipitation
occurring in wet years, to carry the state through the intervening dry years.
The potential for episodic and long-term drought is considered in the city’s Metropolitan Water
Resource Plan and in its the Urban Water Management Plan Drought Contingency component,
to accommodate reductions in available water supplies. In times of extended severe regional or
statewide drought, a reprioritization of water deliveries and reallocation for critical urban
supplies vs. agricultural use is possible, but it is too speculative at this time to determine what
the statewide reprioritization response elements would be (the various responses of statewide
and regional water agencies to these situations are not fully formulated and cannot be predicted
with certainty). Because the true long term consequences of climate change on California’s and
Fresno’s water system cannot be predicted, and, it is too speculative at this time to conclude
that there could be a significant adverse impact on water supply for the 2025 Fresno General
Plan due to global climate change.
MEIR REVIEW SUMMARY
Page 22
As noted above, it is theorized that global warming could lead to more energy in the atmosphere
and to increased intensity or frequency of storm events. Fresno’s long-term weather pattern is
that rainfall occurs during episodic and fairly high-intensity events. The Fresno Metropolitan
Flood Control District (FMFCD) drainage and flood control Master Plan, which sets policies for
drainage infrastructure and grading in the entire Fresno-Clovis area, is already predicated on
this type of weather pattern. FMFCD sizes its facilities (which development potentiated by the
2025 Fresno General Plan will help to complete) for “two-year storm events,” storms of an
intensity expected in approximately 50 percent of average years; however, the urban drainage
system design has additional capacity built into the street system so that excess runoff from
more intense precipitation events is directed to the street system. The City’s Flood Plan
Ordinance and grading standards require that finished floor heights be above the crowns of
streets and above any elevated ditchbanks of irrigation canals. FMFCD project conditions also
preserve “breakover” historic surface drainage routes for runoff from major storms. Ultimately,
drain inlets and FMFCD basin dewatering pumps direct severe storm runoff into the network of
Fresno Irrigation District canals and pipelines still extant in the metropolitan area, with outfalls
beyond the western edge of the metropolitan area.
Scientific information, analytical tools, and standards for environmental significance of global
warming and green house gases were not available to the Planning and Development
Department in 2002 when the 2025 Fresno General Plan and its MEIR were formulated and
approved--and at this point, there is still insufficient data available to draw any conclusions as to
the potential impacts, or significance of impacts, related to global climate change for the 2025
Fresno General Plan. Similarly, there is insufficient information to conclude that global warming
may have a potentially significant adverse impact upon the 2025 Fresno General Plan. In a
situation when it would be highly speculative to estimate impacts or to make conclusions as to
the degree of adversity and significance of those impacts, the California Environmental Quality
Act allows agencies to terminate the analysis. In that regard, there is no material change in
status from the degree of environmental review on this topic contained in the 2025 Fresno
General Plan MEIR.

Following is the mitigation monitoring checklist from MEIR No. 10130 as applied to the above-noted project’s
environmental assessment, required by City Council Resolution No. 2002-378 and Exhibit E thereof (adopted
on November 19, 2002) to certify the MEIR for the 2025 Fresno General Plan Update. On June 25, 2009, through
its Resolution No. 2009-146, the City Council adopted Environmental Assessment No. A-09-02 confirming the
finding of a Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for General Plan Amendment Application No. A-09-02 which
updated the Air Quality Section of the Resource Conservation Element of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and
incorporated additional and revised mitigation measures as necessary within the following monitoring checklist.
