Property Taxes-General Fund
Property Tax in lieu of VLF-General Fund
Property tax revenues have taken on a larger role in the General Fund's revenue structure due to actions taken at the state level. Vehicle License Fees (VLF), previously a state subvention revenue source, are now replaced with a like amount of property tax revenues. This is a permanent shift and will increase in the same percentage as increases in assessed valuation in the City. (See "Property Tax in lieu of VLF-General Fund" for the chart on this revenue). The County of Fresno assesses property owners within the county and distributes the tax to the appropriate agencies based on their sharing percentage. The City's share of the county-wide 1% is 18.34% of the gross taxes before reductions. In 2024/25, the City of Clovis is expecting to receive about $23,005,000 in property taxes on real and personal property. Growth in this revenue source is affected by several factors, such as increased assessed values due to new construction, increased base due to annexation, the statutory maximum increase in assessed value of 2% maximum per year, and changes in value related to property resale. Property tax revenues formerly distributed to redevelopment agencies as tax increment are now distributed to schools, counties, and cities in the project area.
Property tax revenue is 21% of total General Fund revenue.
In 2004, the State permanently reduced the vehicle license fees (VLF) to counties and cities and eliminated the State's general fund backfill for this revenue loss. Instead, counties and cities now receive additional transfers of property tax revenues in lieu of VLF. The property tax in lieu of VLF for the City increases annually in proportion to the growth in gross assessed valuation. This revenue represents 13% of General Fund revenue.

Franchise Fees-General Fund
Sales Tax-General Fund
Community Facilities District CFD 2004-01-General Fund
The City of Clovis receives sales tax revenue based on 1% of the taxable sales that take place within its boundaries.
The City and the County have agreed to share this 1%. The County receives 5%-8% of the City's 1%.
The City receives a Franchise Fee from Pacific Gas & Electric, Comcast Cable, and AT&T based on their gross receipts in Clovis. The revenue is projected to increase only slightly as AT&T moves customers from cable to satellite service that isn't subject to franchise fees. This revenue source is approximately 3% of the General Fund revenue.
The top ten retailers generate 43% of the sales tax and the top 100 retailers generate 81% of the sales tax in Clovis. Sales Tax is 28% of the General Fund revenue. In 2020/21 and 2021/22, sales tax experienced significant growth due to COVID-19 prompting the acceleration of online sales and the positive impact AB-147 had on online sales tax for cities. In 2022/23, sales tax experienced a decline as inflationary pressures affected consumers spending less on discretionary items that generate sales tax. 2023/24 is estimated to experience another slight decline while 2024/25 has been budgeted for modest growth.
In March 2004, Council approved the formation of Community Facilities District 2004-01 (CFD) which provides funding for public safety operations in new growth areas generally located north of Herndon or east of Locan Avenues.
Residential parcels located in the CFD with a building permit issued prior to May 1, would be subject to the CFD tax the following fiscal year, payable with their property tax bill. This revenue represents 3% of General Fund revenue. 3,100,000

REVENUE BY SOURCE
Business Licenses-General Fund
Other Taxes-General Fund
Interest Revenue-General Fund
Business Licenses are required of all businesses within Clovis. Most businesses pay fees based on gross receipts.
There is a minimum and a maximum business license fee, which is annually adjusted for inflation. Business license revenues are projected to remain at a normal revenue growth at the rate of inflation and adjusted for new businesses.
This category includes transient occupancy tax, real property transfer tax, and card room permits. Transient occupancy tax has rebounded greatly from the time shelter in place orders from Covid-19 were required. The City increased the transient occupancy tax from 10% to 12% on January 1, 2023. Marriott's Residence Inn opened in March 2023 bringing the City's total hotels to thirteen. In 2023/24, the City provided an online portal for owners of short term rentals to enroll and pay their lodging taxes. Real property transfer tax has shown a decline from the prior year as mortgage rates continue to remain high.
The City pools all available cash for investment purposes. Funds are invested in accordance with an investment policy. Interest is allocated from the pool in proportion to the daily cash balance attributable to each fund. The interest varies from year to year based on available cash for investment and the rate of return. The estimated rates of return for 2023/24 and 2024/25 are 3.22% and 2.93%, respectively. 450,000

REVENUE BY SOURCE
State Subventions-General Fund
Grants-General Fund
Revenue From Other Agencies-General Fund
This category includes revenue collected at the state level and redistributed back to local agencies on a per-capita basis. Revenue sources mainly include gas tax. The larger increase in 2023/24 is primarily due to transferring additional gas tax funds from street capital projects to street maintenance and lighting in the General Fund.
Sources of this revenue are from the state and federal governments. Revenues from programs such as Community and Development Block Grant, Highway Safety Programs, and Older Americans Act depend on availability and approval of funds for qualified city projects. The 2020/21 increases are largely from reimbursements from the CA Office of Emergency Services for state fire assistance along with one time funding from the CARES Act and ARPA.
Also, included in years 2020/21 - 2023/24 is the SAFER grant awarded to hire 9 additional firefighters. The City received a grant to prevent organized retail theft in 2023/24 for two years. Grants are usually projected at a three year average of reoccurring grants.
This revenue is from other public agencies including reimbursements. Most of the fluctuations of revenues in this category are from state mandated claims. Reimbursements from AB109 for interagency coordinated police efforts known as ACT are also reflected here.

The revenue in this category varies with service activity. The Senior and Recreation Centers revenues are projected to increase with the opening of the new Senior Center and the increase in participation in adult sports.
This category includes revenue from the sale of equipment, legal settlements, damage restitution, home owner property tax relief, and donations. 2023/24 reflects a donation for the new Senior Activity Center that opened in November of 2023.
Administrative charges result from the recovery of the cost of services provided for specific activities of the support services within the General Fund. These support activities include City Council, City Clerk, City Manager, City Attorney, Finance, and Personnel. This revenue source contributes about 5% of the General Fund revenue. 5,098,000

Water Charges-Water Service Fund
Building Permits / Planning Fees / Engineering Fees-Planning & Development Fund The City collects a fee for each building-related permit issued. The fees are based on the national uniform building codes. The City's building activity was significantly impacted by the housing market downturn in 2008 resulting in decreased permit revenue. Permit revenue has steadily increased since the Great Recession of 2008 until the impact of COVID-19 also imposed declines on permits and fees. 2022/23 reflects an increase due to General Plan fees recognized for expenses related to the City's General Plan updates, along with anticipated increases in Building permits and charges for the City's Capital Improvement Program.
Planning fees are charged for processing requests for use permits or entitlement permits. This includes conditional use permits, zone changes, subdivision maps, and General Plan changes. The amount of revenue is directly related to the amount of advance development activity. Additional revenue is generated from the implementation of a fee to pay the cost to prepare and update the City's General Plan. Part of the large increase in revenues in 2024/25 is due to the General Plan and Housing Element updates. Engineering fees are charged for the processing of private development plans and for inspection of public improvements required of the development. Revenue varies with the amount of development activity for subdivisions and public infrastructure projects. This category also includes charges for services to the City's Capital Improvement Program which is also budgeted to experience larger than normal Production, distribution, and treatment of water are charged to residential and commercial users based on usage.
Different rates are established for different types of users and different quantities used based upon the costs of delivering services. Factors that are considered in revenue projections include new units and rate increases. Council approved rate increases annually of 3%, if deemed necessary. Increases of 3% are projected for 2024/25 through 2025/26 and is intended to cover increased costs to treat and distribute potable water, major capital improvements, and to provide debt service coverage.

REVENUE BY SOURCE
Local Transportation Funding-Transit Funds
Measure C (1/2 cent Sales Tax)
This source of revenue is generated by a 1/4 cent tax on general sales, which is collected by the state and distributed to the local agencies on a formula basis for support of local transportation services. Starting in 2014/15, all LTF funding available to the City is required to be allocated to transit for cities with populations greater than 100,000. Revenue is recognized only when eligible expenses are incurred. Some of these funds were used in constructing the new Transit Station that opened in November of 2023.
This tax is a county-wide tax used to fund street improvements and transit operations. In November 2006, voters in Fresno County passed an extension to this program through 2027, generating more than $1.7 billion over 20 years.
Although the tax rate is the same, the distribution percentage changed resulting in an increase in the City of Clovis' share of this sales tax. The increase in 2024/25 represents the City's allocation of Measure C funds for Streets, Parks, and Transit. The majority of this amount is for reimbursement of funds from the Regional Transportation Program for specific street improvement projects such as widening of Shaw from De Wolf to Leonard and reconstruction of Alluvial from Sunnyside to Fowler. Other projects include pavement rejuvenation and slurry sealing of various City streets and trail pavement maintenance.

DEBT OBLIGATIONS
The City of Clovis has several long-term debt obligations consisting of tax allocation bonds, revenue bonds, longterm loans, capital leases, and long-term contracts. At the present time there is no outstanding general obligation bond debt.
The City utilizes long-term debt to fund its capital needs. It is City policy to undertake long-term debt to fund capital assets (including infrastructure) when those assets will be a benefit over several budget years and there is a need to conserve liquid assets (cash). The City has been able to finance various projects with very attractive rates due to the City's favorable credit rating.
General obligation bonds are direct obligations of the City and are backed by the full faith and credit of the City, requiring voter approval, and may have a tax rate set to cover repayment. General obligation debt is also subject to a legal debt limitation. The legal debt limit for fiscal year 2024/25 is calculated at 15% of total assessed valuation or $2,328,865,989. The City currently has no general obligation debt outstanding.

CITY MANAGER
DEPARTMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Administration Division
The Administration Division’s Goal is to ensure that the City Council’s policies are implemented as efficiently as possible throughout all City Departments.
Economic Development Division
One department goal is to facilitate job growth in the City of Clovis and to continually improve the jobs/housing balance ratio until it is in balance. The jobs/housing balance is measured as the ratio between jobs and residents in the labor force. Communities with a job-to-housing ratio ranging from 0.8:1 to 1.25:1 are generally considered to be in balance. The City has gained back most of the job losses experienced due to the economic impact of COVID-19 when the city hit the low of .65 jobs per a household, it has now returned to historic highs, nearing 1 job per a household. Meanwhile, housing production has continued growing but at a slower pace than past years, but still requires additional jobs to keep the jobs/housing balance ratio on target. The focus going forward will be further gains in job creation. 2022-2023 (actual) 2023-2024 (estimated) 2024-2025 (proposed) Total Jobs Increase/(Decrease) 9,313 800 800
Jobs/Housing Balance Ratio .98:1 .99:1 .99:1
The increase in retail sales coming out of COVID-19 has proven unsustainable, both statewide and regionally. The Economic Development Division will continue to work to increase retail sales by encouraging occupancy of vacant retail space, development of new commercial retail and ensuring that existing retail businesses are offered the opportunity to expand their operations. Retail sales trends continue to shift online, a trend which accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Online sales, disruptions in supply, and shifting market trends has impacted, and will continue to impact this revenue stream going forward to some degree. We will also continue with our Phase 2 analysis of the Shaw Avenue Corridor, to determine best future uses for the retail spaces, including the Sierra Vista Mall. 2022-2023 (actual) 2023-2024 (estimated) 2024-2025 (proposed) Total Retail Sales Tax $29,718,200 $29,500,000 $30,390,000 Percentage Increase/(Decrease) -3.0% -0.7% 3.0%
Communications Division
Engage with community members as effectively as possible using available resources, including our City websites and social media accounts. The Communications Division is working with IT to launch new city websites during the 24-25 budget cycle. The focus is on improving the structure of the site to simplify finding programs, services, and contacts with fewer clicks. The new site will integrate more effectively with every other city site, as well as with city social media accounts. 77 235
AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.
Housing Development Division
The goal of the Housing Division is to increase and improve the supply of affordable housing. Increase the supply of affordable housing: Provide funds for multi-family development projects, including the 135 Osmun project, utilizing the Housing Trust Fund, and Development Impact Fee Reduction programs, and other funding sources, to administer housing projects and conduct first-time homebuyer program. Improve the supply of affordable housing: Provide housing rehabilitation and other services to at least 45 households to improve the quality of the housing stock and the neighborhoods in which that housing is located.

2024-2025 Goals
Assist the City Council with policy development and implementation of priority goals and target actions. Provide oversight for implementation of the land use planning process and of the General Plan Update. Implement the adopted budget in a timely manner and provide regular progress reports to the City Council to assure that financial targets and program goals are being met. Provide alternatives and pursue plans for sustainable funding strategies for General Fund operations as directed by the City Council.
Continue to seek ways to improve communications between City government and the general public. Represent the City's interests in matters of regional and statewide significance.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Monitor state and federal legislation that affects municipal operations and financing through association with the League of California Cities, the Council of Fresno County Governments, state and federal delegation participation and direct contact with legislators; regularly advise the City Council on actions to support, oppose, or amend proposed legislation and ballot propositions that have a direct impact on City operations. Provide oversight of the implementation of the General Plan and develop growth management and financial policies to guide the implementation. Sustain City services and facilities, and renew and stabilize older neighborhoods.
Continue to promote economic development strategies that attract and retain businesses and jobs in Clovis. Monitor department work programs and budget activities monthly to determine continued need for actions and availability of funding; conduct periodic management audits of City services and operations to meet service standards, reduce costs, reduce demand, or improve service delivery. Continue to pursue cost effective communication methods that describe City services, financial plans, history and community projects, and how citizens may gain access to local government; utilize online resources to feature City services and issues.
Participate on various regional boards and committees to ensure representation of the City's interests and to gain information useful to advance the City’s goals.
Monitor local economy closely to determine any changes that need to occur to ensure the City is fiscally sustainable.
Five-Year Outlook
It is likely the City has reached peak revenues during the 2022-2023 budget year and is now seeing declines in general fund revenue and as such, staff has pulled back on growth expectations. The City Emergency Reserve is beginning to dip on a percentage basis and critical investments are being foregone to balance expenditures with revenues. An important ongoing initiative is working on the implementation of the General Plan which is planned for an update over the next few years. This program is as much a land use plan as it is a financial plan for the future of the City. Sustainability of the character, appearance and quality of life in the community as it continues to grow in the future will be the challenge. Economic development and job generation must remain a high priority for the City. Identifying and mentoring the next generation of City leaders will continue to be one of the major goals of the department. The resiliency of our community relies on prudent fiscal policies, wise investments in the community, to provide a high level of service, well-crafted land use policies, and a robust economic development effort.

The City of Clovis Recreation Section is funded by a combination of participant fees and discretionary general fund dollars. The discretionary portion for recreation for the FY 2024-2025 budget is approximately $1,270,000.
An estimated 120,000 visits to recreation programs in FY 2024-2025 will equate to $10.58 per visit which is offset using general fund dollars.
Clovis Transit is funded through a combination of state funded Local Transportation Funds (LTF), State Transit Assistance (STA), local Measure C, and various state grants for special projects within the scope of the grant funding. Clovis Transit has been designated as a new recipient for Federal Transportation Administration funding which will provide additional resources for operations and capital projects. Measure C funds are used to meet the farebox revenue requirements as part of the Transportation Development Act funding. No general fund dollars are used for transit services. Roundup service provides door-to-door service to disabled Clovis residents while Stageline provides fixed-route bus service to the general public on a pre-determined route.
In October 2020, the Clovis City Council approved a proposal to provide fare-free rides on Stageline and Roundup bus services; bus rides on Stageline and Roundup remain free to everyone. The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted bus ridership, but as in-person work and school have returned, passengers are more often using the bus to travel which reduces the overall cost per passenger for transit services significantly.
Operational costs per passenger trip are as follows:

2024-2025 Goals
The primary goal of the Employee Benefits Section is to provide quality personnel benefits to employees and their dependents in an efficient manner while containing the cost of providing and administering those benefits.
Specific goals include the following:
Control the City's costs in the areas of healthcare, workers' compensation, and retirement healthcare in light of new regulations and increasing health benefit costs and exposure. Continue to develop and provide a quality benefit package for employees at reasonable costs in order to attract and retain well-qualified employees.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Continue to evaluate and implement administrative measures to contain the cost of delivering benefits to employees and their dependents.
Work with the represented bargaining units to identify health cost containment measures. Provide employee training in the areas of health, safety, and financial planning.
Five-Year Outlook
The City and the employee bargaining units will continue to pursue affordable, quality benefits through review of benefit plans and community resources to identify creative strategies for providing quality employee benefits at reasonable rates. The City’s membership in the Public Risk Innovation, Solutions and Management PRISM Insurance Authority has achieved savings in health costs through the combined purchasing power of the member agencies. Retiree healthcare continues as a significant issue as the number of employees approaching retirement age increases.
Risk identification and abatement, light duty work for injured employees, safety training, and efficient management of claims continue to be the focus of the City’s efforts to contain worker’s compensation costs.
Access to improved safety/training modules that may be utilized interdepartmentally will continue to provide more effective employee training at reduced costs.

General Services Facilities Maintenance
Department Section 33300
2024-2025 Goals
The goals of the Facilities Maintenance Section are to maintain, preserve, and repair all City-owned buildings and facilities in a professional and cost-effective manner while continuing to provide exceptional customer service.
Specific goals include the following:
Improve the maintenance, appearance, and comfort of City facilities. Provide safe facilities for the public and City employees. Provide a high level of service to all City departments. Assist City departments with their facility maintenance needs in a cost-efficient and prompt manner. Automate facility maintenance tasks through computerized maintenance schedules. Continue to upgrade and/or enhance existing mechanical systems with energy efficient replacements or modifications.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Continue staff computer training to track and schedule facility maintenance more efficiently. Ensure that facilities are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Monitor energy use to ensure that the City’s energy efficiency measures are producing the projected savings in energy consumption and costs, and explore energy saving rebate incentives provided by the local public utility.
Continue to improve the security of City facilities.
Reduce energy use in all areas to the extent possible without compromising safety. Coordinate, plan, and implement all facility related energy efficiency projects. Analyze long-term facility repair needs.
Five-Year Outlook
Increasing facility operational costs will necessitate additional efforts to ensure that City facilities are operating as efficiently as possible. The cost of energy continues to rise each year, prompting the need to explore alternative long-term energy strategies to lower facility operating costs. The need for facility security measures continues to increase as the City purchases additional computers and sophisticated electronic equipment.
Modifications to existing City buildings and the addition of new facilities will add significant square footage to the facilities maintained by the City and will increase the workload of the Section. The Civic Center facilities are approaching 48 years of age and will require on-going preventative maintenance to keep them in proper condition. The need to modernize facility systems of older City buildings will result in increased building and maintenance demands.

General Services Senior Services
Department Section 34200
2024-2025 Goals
The City’s Senior Services programs are designed to provide quality senior-oriented education, recreation, and social services. The Senior Services Section seeks to offer a wide variety of services and to make those services accessible to the community’s older adult population. The Senior Services Section continues to evaluate funding alternatives and creative methods of delivering services to seniors at a low cost.
Specific goals include the following:
Administer a comprehensive Older Adult program for citizens 50 and better that supports independence, improves health, and encourages involvement in the community. Utilize software that tracks participation and activity at the Senior Center and evaluate the data for shortand long-term program planning. Effectively manage the increase in participants and members after moving operations from Fourth Street facility to new Clovis Senior Activity Center on Third Street during the second quarter of FY23/24. Continue to expand existing networks with local volunteers, community service groups and other appropriate entities to provide support for Senior Activity Center programs.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Continue to locate new sources of program revenues: i.e., grants, fundraisers, and cooperative sponsorship of programs between the City, other agencies, community groups and the public. Increase current participation of volunteers and service groups to maintain the delivery of program services and provide additional opportunities in new larger facility. Evaluate new potential programs for their ability to be financially self-supporting and well-attended. Continue to promote the Clovis Senior Activity Center as a place for those 50 or better to discover opportunities for enrichment and engagement.
Five-Year Outlook
The Clovis Senior Activity Center has successfully moved operations from the Fourth Street facility to the new larger building on Third Street. The response from the community has been robust and staff continues to refine processes and policies to ensure the continuation of providing exceptional classes, education, and recreation to the members. High quality programming continues to be a priority and the new facility has provided new opportunities for establishment of additional offerings along with the space to expand current popular classes.
The hot lunch program has been re-established and the response has been positive.
Staff continues to maintain relationships with community partners including the Fresno County Social Services Department, the Fresno Madera Area Agency on Aging, the San Joaquin College of Law, Clovis Unified School District, the California Health Sciences University, and Fresno State University. The new facility has attracted additional partnership opportunities that are under evaluation for implementation. A non-resident fee was approved which has provided an additional revenue stream. Fees for classes are continuously monitored to maintain the balance between affordability and a sustainable operational model. 108

Department Section 34400
2024-2025 Goals
The Recreation Section will focus on administering activities at the Clovis Recreation Center, the Clovis Rotary Skatepark, the Clovis Batting Range, and Bicentennial Park, as well as promoting volunteer development. In addition, the Section will pursue long-term funding solutions for community recreation programming.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Offer consistent hours of operation for City recreation facilities, including the Clovis Recreation Center, Clovis Batting Range and Clovis Rotary Skatepark.
Expand full-time staffing to ensure recreational opportunities remain in-step with demand from the growing Clovis community and ensure the public is assisted during posted office hours to meet increased demand. Coordinate with Parks Division staff to expand outdoor programs and activities. Establish mobile recreation trailer program.
Expand the use of volunteers to administer services.
Analyze opportunities to secure stable funding for community recreation services. Continue to maximize all available space at the existing Recreation Center for community programs and revenue generation.
Five-Year Outlook
Affordable and accessible recreation is at a high-demand and the recreation staff continues to provide a wide variety of activities inside the Recreation Center. As the City grows, the demands for community recreation and leisure activities continue to increase, so outdoor programs are planned to utilize available park space.
Additionally, a mobile recreation van is under development which will bring sports and activities into neighborhoods and special events. The City’s ability to provide adequate community recreation and leisure services in the future will continue to require creative solutions and joint efforts between the City, the public, the business community, and other local public agencies. The City will evaluate and research additional opportunities to expand outdoor recreational facilities, including the addition of much-needed sports fields. 110

General Services Transit
Department Section 34700/34800
2024-2025 Goals
The City’s demand-response transit system (Roundup) and fixed-route transit system (Stageline) are designed to meet the local transit needs of all community residents. These programs strive to provide dependable, safe, and affordable transit services throughout the community. Specific transit goals include the following:
Continue to provide a safe transportation environment for passengers and employees through enhanced cleaning protocols.
Improve the quality of transit services provided by the City by reviewing Stageline and Roundup services in order to provide on-time, efficient, and safe public transit that serves the largest segment of the population as reasonably as possible while maintaining minimum productivity standards within budgetary constraints. Increase community awareness of the City’s transit services through advertising and outreach and continue coordination between Fresno Area Express, Fresno County Rural Transit, and Clovis Transit. Continue service delivery and route structure assessment through a comprehensive study that includes incorporation of electric vehicles and new technology.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Continue a community-wide marketing plan designed to increase awareness and ridership of the Roundup and Stageline services, including a focus on web-based information. Coordinate advertising with FAX, including printed schedules and social media outreach.
Coordinate with the Clovis Unified School District, FAX, and other public transit agencies to identify/ resolve transportation issues.
Continue to maximize features and upgrades of the Roundup dispatch software and mobile terminals to improve efficiency on Roundup service. An analysis of new software features available on the market is ongoing with a focus on efficiency and enhanced customer service features. Continue to provide efficient operations after the move into the new transit hub facility that is located within the Landmark Square project, including routing of Clovis, FAX, YARTS, and Fresno County Rural Transit Agency buses to the site.
Continue comprehensive fixed-route service redesign project and plan for implementation in early 2025 which will provide connections to the new transit hub facility and other points of interest within the City. Continue to evaluate data provided by the on-going pilot project of two small zero-emission battery electric shuttle buses in relation to the California Air Resources Board requirement to convert to a zero-emission bus fleet.
Five-Year Outlook
Ridership has completely recovered from the pandemic and has improved to levels higher than in the past 10 years. While projections indicated that it may take as long as ten years for public transit ridership to recover to pre-pandemic levels, the return of passengers in Clovis is complete. Transit will continue to emphasize safe transportation for the community and employees through enhanced cleaning, security, and efficient operations.
There will also be a focus on providing information about routes and bus location in an easy and accessible format utilizing technology solutions.
The route redesign project is set for implementation in early 2025 and is anticipated to generate an increase in ridership by providing quick and efficient transit through Clovis and into a small portion of Fresno. Clovis will continue coordination with transit providers in the Clovis-Fresno Metropolitan area to meet the demand for intercity transportation. The addition of a centrally located Clovis Transit Center which opened in late 2023 has allowed for accessible customer contact, easier transfers, and much-needed training and office space. The new facility has also provided space for travel training to increase ridership and shift some Roundup passengers to the Stageline service.

2024-2025 Goals
The goals of the Finance Administration Section are to provide quality financial information for the public, City Council, and the operating departments of the City and to safeguard the assets and resources of the City. These goals include:
Providing support to departments for finance-related questions, budget analysis and internal auditing. Investing the City's idle cash to maximize the rate of return given the priorities of safety and liquidity. Developing long-range financing plans as needed.
Providing timely billing and collection for the City's enterprise operations. Providing for the timely recording of new business license applications and existing business license renewals and searching relevant financial information for businesses who have not obtained business licenses.
Providing summary financial and budgetary reports for department and general public use as needed. Completing upgrades to the utility billing and financial accounting systems.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Analyze the department budgets quarterly for conformance with budgeted appropriations and revenue availability.
Invest the City's cash in conformance with the adopted Investment Policy. Work with underwriters and other consultants to arrange the most advantageous terms for any financing and review for refinancing opportunities.
Maintain the billing and collection of the utility charges in accordance with established guidelines. Maintain the business license system in accordance with existing business license policies. Maintain existing financial reports and continue to develop summary financial and budgetary reports on a periodic basis.
Implement a new Utility Billing system for the City.
Implement a new Financial Accounting system upgrade.
Use temporary staffing and volunteers to remain current on all financial activities.
Five-Year Outlook
The 2024-2025 budget is challenging as costs are accelerating faster than revenues likely requiring adjustments in the next several years in either revenues or expenditures. The existing inflationary environment has contributed to a flattening of sales tax revenue after years of robust growth from the acceleration of online sales due to the pandemic. This growth is not budgeted to continue as inflationary pressures have affected consumers spending less on discretionary items and shifted dollars to essentials such as food, transportation and housing. In the meantime, expenditures will continue to rise partially due to inflation. Property taxes are projected to increase, but there is a two-year lag before that revenue will be received. Rising interest rates are putting pressure on home sales resulting in fewer residential units coming online. Meanwhile, CalPERS rates will continue to rise thereby increasing expenditures. As a result, revenue and expenditure monitoring continues to be a high priority. Finance activity will continue to include servicing new and existing utility accounts, business licenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, and investments. Finance will continue to be integrally involved in the long-term financing, as necessary, for the City’s capital needs. The Finance Department will also assist in monitoring capital projects and the various assessment districts within the City. Revenue enhancements will be a top priority.

Over the last few years, subdivision proposals have tended to focus on smaller infill projects of less than 50 lots, or as described below, larger projects each comprised of several hundred lots.
While traditional subdivision activity over the next few years is likely to follow recent experience, interest in largescale development continues to be strong. Of the tentative maps that are currently under review, one proposes 605 lots, one proposes 590 lots, one proposes 385 lots, one proposes 257 lots, and one proposes approximately 2,200 lots. These larger maps require a longer and more expensive environmental compliance process and in two instances a sphere of influence expansion. Significant staff time over the next year and beyond is expected to be dedicated to a small group of major projects that have been initiated by area property owners and/or developers.
In addition to the large tract maps described above, staff is working with property owners on a Specific Plan covering approximately 900 acres in Heritage Grove that will provide capacity for approximately 6,500 single and multi-family units. All of these major projects will be built out over several years.
On top of the applications submitted by the development community, the Planning Division continues to work on City-led initiatives that will facilitate compliance with state laws and lay the groundwork for future development and growth of the City. Work on the Sixth Cycle Housing Element is expected through the summer of 2024, after which staff time will need to be dedicated to the implementation of new housing programs, including those included in the Desiree Martinez settlement agreement. The Council has also directed staff to begin work on a comprehensive update to the General Plan, with a three-year work program expected to begin in the summer of 2024.
Over the next several years, continued annexation and development within the Sphere of Influence should be expected, particularly in Heritage Grove and the remaining undeveloped portion of Loma Vista. The Planning Division’s work program will combine developer-initiated applications with a series of long-term programs that will help the City facilitate development. Examples of such programs, in addition to those described above, include reconciling General Plan and zoning conflicts, retiring outdated Specific Plans, and updating the Parks Master Plan.

Building Division Goals 2024-2025
The goals of the Building Division, interrelated with the goals of other City departments, are to serve the public by carrying out the safety checks and inspections required by the California Building Codes and the Clovis Municipal Code.
Building goals for 2024-2025 include:
Ensure compliance with all codes for the construction, use, and occupancy of buildings and their various components.
Maintain effective communication with citizens, the business community, and interest groups on planning, building, and development-related issues.
Ensure that new development and construction conform to development standards, design guidelines, and accessibility requirements.
Process all single-family residential plans within three weeks and all submitted commercial projects within four weeks.
Respond to all field inspection requests within eight working hours. Respond to all informational requests and housing complaints from the public within 72 hours. Expand the use of new technology to keep pace with the increases in documentation requirements and to facilitate the retrieval of documents.
Keep the community informed about current California Building Code requirements.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Provide expertise on the 2022 California Building, Electrical, Energy, Mechanical, and Plumbing Codes along with new state-mandated programs.
The Building Division continues to expand the electronic services provided to our citizens and developers by allowing plans to be submitted, reviewed, and issued through our Citizen Self-Service (CSS) portal. Currently, all plan types may be submitted through the online portal. Additionally, we have begun offering the State of California-mandated program that allows us to provide real-time online approval and issuance of residential roof-top solar projects that meet specific criteria.
Building Division Performance Measures
Continue training on new codes and systems to perform the regulatory enforcement role of the department.
Increase training in the areas of accessibility, fire suppression, energy, and electrical systems to ensure compliance with new state and federal regulations. The benchmark for Certified Building Division personnel training is 30 hours/per person/3 year period required by state law. 2022-2023 (actual) 2023-2024 (estimated) 2024-2025 (proposed) Hours of Training 32 hrs./ person 32 hrs./person 32 hrs./person Building permit plan

Five-Year Outlook
Commercial construction had an average for the last three years of $35 million in valuation. The 2023-2024 cycle is expected to exceed the average by approximately $15 million and end at $50 million for the fiscal year. We have issued $27 million in valuation for the fiscal year 2023-2024. We expect the fiscal year 2024-2025 to be above this number because projects worth $11 million in valuation submitted for review with five months still to go in this fiscal year. There is an additional total valuation of $15 million with all commercial projects that have been in review and waiting to be issued from previous fiscal years, which could be issued in this cycle.
Residential development has slowed this cycle, and photovoltaic system permits have also slowed. Our historical average for residential units is approximately 800, comprising single- and multi-family units. The 2022-23 cycle produced 658 single-family and 0 multi-family units. We expect the 2023-2024 cycle to be slower, with approximately 450 single-family units and 100 multi-family units issued for 550 total units. The following years indicate that we will be more in line with an increased number of 700 units. 126

Engineering Division Goals 2024-2025
The Engineering Division will continue to concentrate on coordinating the orderly construction of public and private projects within the Clovis community. The Division’s responsibility for review and approval of proposed development projects ensures that all development meets current City standards.
Engineering goals for 2024-2025 include:
Deliver all activities scheduled in the Community Investment Program utilizing the best technology and equipment for the design, review, and improvement of infrastructure. Achieve and maintain the highest level of customer service by actively responding to service requests from other departments and citizens.
Ensure that private development activities meet City requirements, conditions, and standards. Provide quick development project plan review and processing. Implement and manage a fair and cost-effective impact fee program that funds the necessary infrastructure to accommodate new development.
Provide knowledgeable inspection services that assure quality construction, protecting the City’s interests. Maintain an active traffic management program in cooperation with the Clovis Police Department that ensures transportation safety and supports traffic enforcement. Establish an updated and fiscally sound annual five-year Community Investment Program to provide for appropriate infrastructure repair and enhancements.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Implement efficiency and accountability standards to consistently guide project delivery. Implement streamlined procedures for the design and review of projects. Implement appropriate public safety and convenience through design review measures. Evaluate Division costs and update as necessary to ensure that the development processing fees charged are fair, equitable, and representative of the actual costs for the services provided. Employ and train professional engineers to handle a dynamic workload and fluctuating market demands.
Engineering Division Performance Measures
Complete Capital Investment projects on schedule. The current goal is to meet the schedule on 85% of projects. The Capital Investment Program fell a little short of its goal in 2022-2023. This was attributed to the high complexity of many of the projects currently underway and the fluctuation in staffing levels. Complete development project reviews within benchmark turnaround times. For most projects, the goal is to achieve a 4-week turnaround on first submittals and a 2-week turnaround on subsequent submittals. For larger, more complex projects, staff will work with project proponents on an agreeable turnaround time that may be longer.
Keep traffic counting and speed studies up-to-date. The current goal is to have 100% of the studies up-todate. Provide pertinent training to each engineering staff member. 2022-2023

Five-Year Outlook
The City’s Engineering Division will continue its work on community service and public facilities planning in support of the upcoming General Plan update and subsequent Community Master Plans. This includes identifying strategies to keep development moving despite challenges in providing timely infrastructure capacity and continuing work on the implementation of the Parks Master Plan.
As the City grows, constant efforts are made to keep up with the preservation of our increasing inventory of aging streets. At the same time, the City is facilitating expanded connections to the City of Fresno and the County of Fresno by building out regional corridors, such as Herndon and Shaw Avenues, to the edges of our City’s Sphere of Influence ahead of development.
Staff education and training continue to be essential to enhance overall staff abilities and technical competence.
Scarce resources and increased staff workloads require a constant search for ways to increase staff productivity.
Increased knowledge and skills will lead to increases in staff efficiency and effectiveness.
Engineering will continue to work on maintaining expedient turnaround times for plan checks and project reviews, addressing public concerns, looking for ways to streamline and reduce development costs, and delivering projects promptly. As the City continues to grow, and as new federal and state laws are continually imposed, the complexity and number of tasks and processes necessary to complete a project and remain in compliance continue to increase. This is increasingly true for grant-funded projects, which are administered by Caltrans. This state and federal influence affects all aspects of the engineering program. As a result, the Engineering Division must be nimble and will continually reevaluate staffing needs and goals in the coming years.
The pace of development did slow in 2023-2024. This slowdown has put a strain on the budget. The development community has indicated that the increase in mortgage rates has slowed the pace of home-buying. Despite this, the department has planned for a rebound in activity as there has been a strong increase in developers preparing for new development projects. If a sustained slowdown occurs, engineering staff that is currently assigned in other areas can be reassigned to capital projects, which are well-funded for the next few years. 129

POLICE
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
The responsibility of the Police Department is to provide superior protection and service in a manner that builds public confidence and improves the quality of life in our community. To those we serve, we want to be the best! The department is organized into three major divisions which are comprised of seven budgetary sections as shown below.
Patrol Section 51000
The Patrol section is the most highly visible section of the Police Department. It is overseen by a captain and lieutenants. Each shift or team is directly supervised by a sergeant. Uniformed patrol and community service officers respond to calls for service, enforce all laws including City municipal codes, provide for safety and security of the public, and represent the Police Department in their daily contact with the citizens of Clovis. They also deal effectively and appropriately with the criminals they apprehend. The Police Chaplain Program assists our department members and the victims of crime during traumatic events or at times of grief. The Traffic Division focuses on traffic safety, education, enforcement of traffic laws, and implements DUI check points and DUI saturations. The Patrol Division’s effective and proactive approach toward eliminating criminal activity and protecting its citizens has helped create a safe community for the citizens of Clovis. Specialty units within the department such as K-9 Unit, Bike Unit, EOD, UAV, and Jail operations fall under the Patrol Division as well.
Communications Section 51100
The Communications section provides dispatch services for the Police Department and serves as the central location for emergency and non-emergency calls made from within the city limits and surrounding areas.
Dispatchers receive calls from citizens and businesses, which are prioritized based on a series of questions.
They provide the appropriate resources and dispatch a police response when appropriate. Dispatchers monitor the regular activity, provide telecommunication support, and assist with incident coordination for the field units.
They serve as an information resource to police officers, CSOs, investigators, other agencies, and the public.
Dispatchers provide these services while utilizing the radio, telephone, computer, internet, camera systems, and other law enforcement database programs.
Investigations Section 52000
The Investigations section is overseen by a Police Lieutenant, and is responsible for follow-up on all felony cases, cases of a sensitive nature, and preparing the cases for submittal to the District Attorney’s Office. The Division is comprised of two main components: General Investigations and the Special Enforcement Team (SET). The types of investigations conducted range from computer crime and identity theft cases to sexual assault and sex offender programs, homicide investigations, robberies, property crimes, domestic violence follow-up and tracking, missing persons, and crime analysis and predictive policing. The unit also takes on special details when necessary, including assistance to SET, internal investigations, and officer-involved shooting investigations. The focus of SET tends to be on mid-level and street-level drug dealers and users causing blight in our City. They also focus on cases involving gang members, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, prostitution, and pimping. They focus their investigations on those who are actively engaged in the gang lifestyle and committing crimes in our City. These units will also partner with other local, State, and Federal agencies for larger scale investigations where more detectives are needed for a safe and successful outcome.
Youth Services Section 53000
The Youth Services Division is committed to providing services and programs that deter juvenile crime. The foundation of our service is consistent accountability for juvenile misbehavior and education about alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. The Youth Services Division is committed to supporting parents by providing information about parenting and education about juvenile trends related to alcohol, drugs, and tobacco use. The Youth Services Division will continue to work closely with the Clovis Unified School District (CUSD) and other agencies to encourage youth to improve their ability to make good decisions at home, at school, and in the community to consistently hold juveniles accountable and to support parents. The success for this service will be determined by maintaining a low juvenile rate of recidivism. The Youth Services Division is also responsible for removing graffiti throughout the City of Clovis. The Graffiti Abatement team focuses on the prompt removal of graffiti and deterrence of further graffiti vandalism.

POLICE
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
Support Services/Records, Property and Evidence Section 54000 This unit encompasses many diverse duties that focus on providing outstanding service to its customers and the citizens of Clovis. Functions include the department’s records maintenance function, citizen and business services, fleet management, equipment and supplies, report typing, court liaison, service of subpoenas, records requests, and distribution of records and reports to allied agencies. The Property and Evidence unit processes, catalogues, and stores all the evidence collected in various cases, holds property that has been collected by the department, and determines the proper disposition for that property and evidence. Neighborhood corporals work closely with other city departments and businesses. Together they issue alcohol and entertainment permits within the City. They also work closely with the Planning Division on new development in the City. The Community Liaison works closely with the rental management and property owners to resolve any problems within the community.
Administrative Services Section 56000
The Administrative Services Unit is the office of the Chief of Police which provides leadership and general direction and oversight for the entire department. The Administrative Services Division is responsible for several functions, including administrative support to the Chief, special projects, research, internal audits and compliance, internal investigations, Homeland Security, grant administration, public information officer duties, hiring, employee injury, and oversight of workers’ compensation issues. The office support staff also performs a variety of personnel functions regarding recruitment and hiring and provides support for other division commanders.
Animal Services Section 59100
The Clovis Animal Services Division consists of the Animal Response Team, the Animal Receiving and Care Center, and the Miss Winkles Pet Adoption Center. The Animal Response Team is responsible for responding to calls for service in the community, investigating cruelty complaints, enforcing City municipal codes, completing animal bite investigations for the County Health Department, and representing the City in Administrative Hearings. The Animal Receiving and Care Center is responsible for caring for approximately 3,000 animals per year. This includes pets that are released by their owners, seized animals, stray dogs, injured animals, and deceased animals. The Miss Winkles Pet Adoption Center cares for roughly 150 animals at a time and is responsible for adopting approximately 1,000 pets to citizens each year. The Animal Services Division also provides public education about spaying/neutering pets, information about proper pet care, and information on both State and local animal laws.
2024-2025 Goals
Meet response time goals for Priority 1, 2, and 3 calls. Meet or exceed our goal of high customer satisfaction (90% or better) ratings. Keep the City of Clovis the “Safest city in the Valley.” Increase our efforts at combating gang and drug activity. Conduct effective Traffic Safety programs and reduce traffic collisions and injury rates through effective enforcement practices.
Develop future leaders in the department through succession planning. Continue to engage with our community stakeholders through social media platforms. Restart the Drone First Responder (DFR) program with new technological advancements and obtain approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Provide continuous and developmental training for all officers. Actively pursue State and Federal grants for sworn officers and technology enhancements. Increase community outreach through planned events in neighborhoods, parks, and schools.
Budgetary Highlights
Increase sworn police officer positions by three.
Improve fleet by replacing older vehicles.

2024-2025 Goals
Meet response time goals for Priority 1, 2, and 3 calls. Meet or exceed our goal of high customer satisfaction (90% or better) ratings. Address all quality-of-life issues to maintain a healthy community. Monitor and address gang, parole, and probation related incidents. Increase community outreach through planned events in neighborhoods, parks, and schools. Expand the coverage of our Drone First Responder (DFR) program throughout the City. Receive approval through the FAA to operate our DFR Program Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) with new technology minimizing the amount of personnel needed to operate the program. Add a partial swing shift in July of 2024 and as more officers complete the FTO program increase this to a full swing shift in January of 2025.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Review crime rates, response times, and officer productivity to assess deployment, shift schedules and beat alignment to provide optimum service.
Continue to plan and staff DUI checkpoints, increase DUI saturation patrols, and improve public awareness and comprehension of the seriousness of DUI.
Continue aggressive traffic enforcement to reduce collisions and injuries related to collisions. Evaluate and respond to neighborhood quality of life issues. Work with other City departments to ensure that CSO enforcement efforts have the greatest impact.
Analyze property crime data and develop special enforcement plans, including stakeouts, forecasted crime patterns, saturation patrol, and parole/probation searches. Utilize patrol volunteers to handle non-emergency calls for service (i.e., house checks and Municipal Code violations) to keep patrol officers available to respond to higher priority calls for service. Increase enforcement on gang members and gang-related activity. Utilize the Beat Corporal Program to continue the monitoring of parolees living in the City. Strive to meet all the expectations of our department’s mission and philosophy. Involve officers in school programs to enhance relationships between students of all ages and the Police Department.
Continue to provide community outreach events (i.e., Clovis Night Out, Cops and Kids Camp, etc.). Actively engage in solving quality of life issues within the community. Assign an officer to conduct mental health follow-up with members of our community. ficer to conduct mental health follow-up with members of our community. Continue progress toward funding new technology to authorize our DFR Program to operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight utilizing one officer.
Continue to add Camera’s allowing DFR to cover more of the City.
Five-Year Outlook
Population growth and development remain a concern because of increased demand on law enforcement services without sufficient resources to meet those needs in a timely manner. The Patrol division has reached critical levels, limiting the ability to engage in proactive long-term solutions. Workload study recommendations are being considered for re-deployment of resources to meet these demands. Leadership development and succession training will be of key importance. In the coming five years, we will continue to evaluate the need to develop additional patrol sectors to manage resources, meet community expectations, and prepare for growth associated with development within the proposed neighborhood communities. It will also be crucial for the Police Department to remain engaged in the development process to assist in creation of safe neighborhoods and commercial development. We will also address challenges posed in existing neighborhoods to ensure safety and well-being for all the citizens of Clovis.

Police Investigations
Department Section 52000
2024-2025 Goals
Continue to explore new technology to enhance the functions and goals of investigations. Continue to combat retail theft with the addition of the Organized Retail Crime Unit. The implementation of the Real Time Crime Center to augment the Patrol Division. Reimplement Domestic Violence programs and prevention. Continue using crime analysis to find crime trends and attack those issues. Monitor and analyze criminals associated with AB 109. Explore ways to enhance communication within the department. Enhance knowledge and expertise within the Investigations Unit. Continue to ensure that drug and gang activities in the community are not tolerated. Continue to focus on the street level dealers within our community. Increase tactical expertise of the Special Enforcement Team (SET) and General Investigations. Enhance computer forensic equipment (Gray Key 2).
Increase the number of investigators with high technology investigative experience. Utilize forensic analysts.
Work with other agencies to attack the issues related to street gangs within our city. Utilize narcotics K-9s.
Add additional detectives to the Investigations Division.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Utilize the full-time Computer Forensic Analyst position dedicated to processing computer and high technology evidence. Collaborate with other law enforcement agencies to share resources in targeting hightech criminals. Gain and retain membership to online databases to increase our sources of information and intelligence. Continue providing advanced technology training to investigators and disseminate acquired knowledge to patrol officers to combat criminal activity.
Continue the partnership with the District Attorney’s Office, U.S. Marshal’s Service, DEA Taskforce, the A.T.F., the F.B.I. and allied units such as MAGEC and ACT to track, arrest, and prosecute more criminals. Continue to aggressively seek out opportunities to seize assets obtained from the illegal sales of narcotics. Train with other units to provide a cohesive base of tactical knowledge for improved officer safety.
Five-Year Outlook
The General Investigations and SET unit will need to continue to build expertise, expand their unit size, and investigative preparedness to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
The use of advanced technology by suspects to commit criminal acts is exploding. Over the next five years we can expect advanced technology will continue to be used by suspects to manufacture documents that will then be used in criminal activity. Identity theft continues to be one of the fastest growing crimes and by all indications will continue over the next several years.
Drug use is the basis for many property and violent crimes within our community. There is a nexus between drug sales and gang activity as well. We will continue to investigate allegations and utilize officers from other divisions to assist in investigations and operations that are related to drug use and sales.
Gang activity has increased. Much of this has to do with AB 109, prison realignment, and overcrowding issues at the local level. The SET Unit will be focusing on preventing gangs from overtaking neighborhoods and gaining strength or influence in any specific area.

2024-2025 Goals
Continue to provide a high level of both in-house and offsite training that enhances the professional skills of Police Department personnel by collaborating with supervisors to select the proper and necessary training for individuals.
Continue to provide a high level of service to those customers who utilize our permit process and maintain local and State policies and ordinances that apply to our Clovis businesses. Continually look for new ways to manage the costs associated with the fleet and to provide the highest visibility of patrol presence in our community.
Research and implement new products and services to keep the Police Department on the cutting edge of new tools and technologies to provide citizens with a greater level of service. Continue to work with the District Attorney to provide the best possible cases for prosecution. Assist officers when possible with data entry.
Continue to improve and monitor feedback from citizens on the quality of service they receive from our employees.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Continue to obtain POST certification for both skills and knowledge training and perishable skills training. Utilize the Leads software program to create efficiencies and analyze data related to Fleet, Records, and Training goals.
Train department personnel on new technology.
Work with staff to update and create the department’s website for access to public records. Continue to audit the property room to employ the best practices. Continue the destruction of unnecessary property and evidence. Utilize the on-line auctioning of unclaimed property. Continue to improve workflow and keep National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) timely. Gather the data from our new customer service survey technology to improve service levels.
Five-Year Outlook
Technology will continue to drive the majority of the Support Services Division’s new initiatives as well as improvements on current systems. We must look at obtaining POST certification of many of our in-house training classes to increase training opportunities and to reduce the negative fiscal impact of non-reimbursed training for our personnel. In order to assist in crime analysis, case management, and the transfer of information both in-house and in the field, the Records Section must utilize advanced technology to create efficiencies for the Records Section and the Police Department. We will work with the New World system, adapt to new methods of reporting crimes and other incidents, and work on the storage of records and the entry of data into the system.
The Neighborhood Services Corporals will become more involved in City growth and development giving much needed input to City planners. They will also use their expertise in City event planning and assist the Patrol and Investigative Divisions with criminal investigations and neighborhood blight issues that are often products of the economy. The Community Liaison Corporal will work with beat corporals, officers, and CSOs to address blight issues and problem properties in our community.

DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
The Fire Department is responsible for providing Fire Suppression, Technical Rescue, Hazardous Materials Spill/Release Mitigation, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Life Safety and Enforcement Services and Emergency Preparedness for the citizens of Clovis. These responsibilities are distributed through three divisions. The department continues to promote sound planning, economic efficiency, and effective use of City resources while providing essential and valuable services.
Emergency Operations Section 61000
The Emergency Operations Division is responsible for providing the resources needed by Fire Department personnel who respond daily to requests for emergency and non-emergency services from the citizens of Clovis. The Operations Division activities include: responding to fires, emergency medical services, mutual/automatic aid, motor vehicle accidents, wildland, and public assistance. The Training Bureau activities include training of new employees, in-service training for all department employees, certification and licensure, and coordinated use of the Fire Training Center. Support Services Bureau activities include: apparatus maintenance, facilities maintenance, and station supplies. The Communications Bureau has the responsibility for coordinating dispatch services to the Fire Department. Fire dispatch services are provided via a contract with the Fresno County Emergency Medical Services Division. Dispatch services coordinate the emergency response of all City fire resources and mutual or automatic aid resources.
Community Risk Reduction Section 62000
The Community Risk Reduction Division is responsible for providing community risk reduction activities through two bureaus: Fire Prevention and Emergency Preparedness. The Fire Prevention Bureau supports local businesses and building development through activities such as inspections and plan review to ensure occupancies comply with fire codes, standards, and local ordinances. Additional risk reduction is performed through public education where citizens learn about actions they can take to reduce their fire risk and learn emergency preparedness skills that are essential during times of crisis. Within the Division, the Investigations Team has the responsibility to investigate all fires for cause and origin.
Emergency Preparedness Section 63000
The Emergency Preparedness Bureau has the responsibility for preparing and carrying out emergency plans to protect property and the citizens of Clovis in case of actual or threatened conditions of disaster or extreme peril.
This includes having an emergency plan in place, maintaining an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and ensuring that policies and procedures are compliant with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) guidelines and exercises are conducted to evaluate system effectiveness. Within the Emergency Preparedness section are the Hazardous Materials Team and Urban Search and Rescue Team. These teams are capable of responding throughout California to emergency incidents that require specialized tools, equipment and personnel.
Fire Administration Section 64000
The Fire Administration Division is responsible for supporting all department operations, administering the Accreditation program, and the development and administration of the Fire Department budget. Fire Administration provides administrative analysis, report preparation, coordination of programs, incident response data management, timekeeping, and other routine duties performed daily that support the delivery of emergency and non-emergency services. Fire Administration also identifies, writes, and manages grants to supplement funding for all department programs.

FIRE
DEPARTMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The Mission of the Clovis Fire Department is to provide for the fire and life safety of the community in the most professional, courteous, and efficient manner possible.
Performance measures that are indicative of the mission of the Clovis Fire Department are as follows:
Emergency Services
It is documented that cardiac arrest survival rates decline rapidly with every passing minute and fires grow significantly every minute. After seven (7) minutes, less than 50% of heart attack victims will survive without CPR, and a fire can reach a point of a flashover. It is documented that flashover is the point where temperatures in the area (room/building) of the fire reach 1,500 degrees, causing all combustible materials within the room to suddenly ignite, dramatically reducing a victim’s chance of survival and increasing the loss of property.

Total Number of Calls for Service 12,244 13,235 14,000
Total Number of EMS Calls 7,155 7,844 7,188
Life Safety and Enforcement
Maintaining property values and protecting the community from significant destruction of property by fire provides a safe and secure and economically vibrant environment for the citizens of Clovis. Sprinkler requirements for residential and commercial occupancies, greater than 2,500 square feet, are examples of how simple requirements can have a major impact on community risk reduction. Public education has demonstrated the benefit of reducing the impacts that emergencies have on the community. Performing life safety inspections in all public buildings, has been shown to reduce fire loss, and sustains the local economy through continued employment and sales of goods.

2024-2025 Goals
Provide the first unit on the scene of an emergency medical call with a Total Response Time of six minutes and thirty seconds (6:30), 90% of the time. This includes one minute and thirty seconds of call processing, 1 minute for turnout, and four minutes for travel.
Provide the first unit on the scene of a fire call, following dispatch, with a Total Response Time of seven minutes (7:00), 90% of the time. This includes one minute and thirty seconds of call processing, one minute and thirty seconds for turnout, and four minutes for travel. Provide an Effective Response Force (currently 16 to 19 firefighters) on-scene of a fire call within a Total Response Time of ten minutes and thirty seconds (10:30), 90% of the time. Continue to implement response time improvements in the Loma Vista area, as Station 6 response numbers increase. Review of data occurs on a monthly and annual basis. Continue to implement recommendations within the adopted Standards of Cover Plan regarding distribution, concentration, and staffing of emergency response resources. Provide efficient and effective 9-1-1 call processing and dispatch of the Fire Department through the contract service agreement with Fresno County EMS. Dispatch emergency units within two minutes (2:00) of receiving the 9-1-1 call, 90% of the time.
Continue to save property and contents at a value greater than the Department’s total annual budget. Continue to focus on attaining a 90% or higher “excellent” rating on customer service satisfaction surveys through the delivery of professional emergency and non-emergency services to the citizens of Clovis.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Maintain minimum staffing of emergency response resources distributed to meet community needs. Provide quality service to the community.
Confine fires to room of origin for 80% of incidents. Lower demand for fire services from above average service users through code amendment processes and other enforcement strategies.
Reduce and prioritize activities that pull fire apparatus out of their first due response districts. Ensure that personnel are adequately trained and prepared to respond to “all-risk” emergency situations through ongoing training.
Maintain dispatch performance standards for the contract period through a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) program.
Five-Year Outlook
The challenge over the past couple of years, which will continue for the foreseeable future, is the required funding to provide industry best practice fire protection and emergency medical services to a community that has grown significantly over the last ten years. The Department’s cost per capita is below the average of comparable fire departments within the Central Valley by an average of $5.00. Developing additional funding for public safety services is needed to meet the current service demand. Over the last four years, the Department has failed to meet the adopted benchmark response time goals. The demand for services continues to increase each year and the Department is at a critical point of needing additional staffing to meet current and future demands.

Ensure all plan checks are completed within ten (10) days of submission, 90% of the time. Ensure new construction and tenant improvement inspections are completed within one day of the initial request, 90% of the time.
Provide a weed abatement program to ensure that vacant lots/properties meet health, fire hazard, and appearance standards with available staff.
Fully investigate and determine the cause and origin of all fires. Research and secure grant opportunities with favorable cost/benefit ratios. Update and review all Fire Prevention-related codes and standards to reflect changes in state, federal, and local codes.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Return all fire protection system plans for permit issuance within ten (10) days of submittal and provide inspections within 24 hours of the request.
Ensure that vacant lots and properties are cleaned to City municipal code weed abatement standards. Continue to inspect all public occupancies at least every two years using on-duty crews and Fire Prevention staff.
Present life safety messages through various forms of media to maintain community awareness. Conduct fire investigations to determine fire cause and origin and maintain skill levels of Fire Investigators. Use a team approach to enforce code compliance for special events or hazards. Implement an approved Master Fee Schedule for specific activities provided for users that place inordinate or unnecessary demand for service on the public safety system.
Five-Year Outlook
New development plan checks and inspections will continue to be a priority for the Life Safety and Enforcement Division. After analyzing annual inspection results for the past three years, our focus continues to be comprehensive evaluation of occupancies to ensure the safety of customers and response personnel. The Department will continue performing life safety inspections on all public occupancies and State Mandated occupancies. We will continue our public education program in conjunction with the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation and the Clovis Unified School District. This program will allow us to reach approximately 9,000 K-6th graders annually, which has a measurable impact on one of our most at-risk populations. Conducting thorough fire cause investigations, prosecuting for suspected arson crimes, and providing juvenile fire-setter intervention programs are additional functions to maintaining a fire-safe community. 156

Maintain accreditation through the CPSE for the years 2022-2027. Maintain an ISO rating of Class 2.
Maintain a cost per capita ratio of less than $170 per year. Manage the Fire Department budget to maximize revenues and pursue alternative funding sources to maintain services at the highest level possible.
Identify and implement efficiencies in the Fire Department budget, payroll, administrative support, and other program activities.
Attain and manage grants to support all Department activities. Assist and monitor the Emergency Operations and Community Risk Reduction Divisions with program development and monitor performance with true data analytics. Provide administrative support for the Emergency Operations and Community Risk Reduction Divisions.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Monitor the Fire Department budget and programs monthly to determine the continued need for actions and the availability of funding.
Continue cross-training administrative support personnel in key areas to improve coverage and workflow. Complete annual Accreditation Compliance Report for the CPSE to maintain accreditation status. Maintain the Fire Department planning documents including the Self-Assessment document, Strategic Plan, and the Standards of Coverage Life Safety Services Plan. Continue to aggressively investigate, document, and recover costs on incidents where cost recovery for services is allowed by law.
Manage a comprehensive succession plan and promotional testing process for the Fire Department.
Five-Year Outlook
Meeting service demands with limited resources will be the Fire Administration Division’s greatest challenge followed closely by the significant need for succession planning and training. Developing efficiencies in how the Fire Department provides service is a key factor in mitigating the challenges of increased service demands and increases in new development areas. As integral staff including the four managers retire in the next five years, development, documentation, and training with be integral.

Public Utilities Street Maintenance
Department Section 71000
2024-2025 Goals
The goals of the Street Maintenance Section are to provide a well-maintained street system for the orderly, safe, and convenient travel of vehicles within and throughout the City, and to protect the City’s infrastructure investment through the application of appropriate preventative maintenance and repair strategies.
Specifically, these goals include:
Provide efficient maintenance of City streets, sidewalks, and alleys. Provide timely and efficient repairs of potholes and tripping hazards in the City’s streets and sidewalks. Protect the safety of the public through well-maintained street striping, legends, and street signs. Structure the preventative maintenance and repair program to maximize the City’s average Pavement Condition Index.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Re-stripe the entire City street system as needed.
Provide structural repair of streets in preparation for application of slurry seal. Crack seal streets included in slurry seal project in addition to selected streets needing treatment. Apply slurry seal to streets after 10 years of service. Maintain the inventory of the City's signs and computerize the data to manage sign replacement. Provide landscape maintenance along street right-of-ways through contract services. Provide repairs to concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalks. Provide regular inspections of the City’s streets and evaluate the need for maintenance using the Pavement Management System.
Utilize new procedures to maintain and repair pavement to maximize return on investment. Work with Engineering Division to identify key priority areas for capital improvement projects.
Five-Year Outlook
Many streets in the City are reaching their maturity and will require significant attention over the next five years.
These streets were installed in the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s, and while preventative maintenance has done much to prolong their life, many need more costly overlay or reconstruction. This will require focused effort by the Street Maintenance Section, working with the City’s Capital Improvement Program, to ensure that all available funds are allocated where the most benefit will be derived. The City’s strategy is to allocate these limited resources in a manner that maximizes the average Pavement Condition Index (PCI), rather than fixing the worst streets first.
The City will continue to use preventative maintenance methods such as rubberized asphalt cape seals and slurry seals to keep the overall Pavement Condition Index as high as possible and to maximize the limited funds available. City staff continues to utilize a Pavement Management System which tracks repairs and estimates the PCI. The current estimated PCI number is approximately 74.
The passage of SB1 has increased funding opportunities, and as a result, the Street Maintenance Section does not budget any general funds. Streets Maintenance may encumber minimal funds in a prior year, which would show as a General Fund rollover the subsequent year. At the currently projected funding level, the overall condition of the City’s Street system (as measured by the Pavement Condition Index) is predicted to decline slowly over the next 5 years and will continue to decline unless additional funding sources are identified. The City is exploring additional funding methods in order to maintain the existing system, as well as the expansion of the system as laid out in the General Plan.

2024-2025 Goals
The goal of the Signals and Street Lighting Section is to provide functional traffic signals and well-illuminated streets for the safety of motorists and pedestrians.
Specifically, these goals include:
Maximize the public's convenience and safety.
Aid law enforcement in crime prevention.
Retrofit approximately 750 City owned high pressure sodium (HPS) streetlights to energy efficient LEDs Objectives to Meet the Goals
Ensure that all City-owned traffic signals are properly maintained by City staff. Ensure that PG&E-owned streetlights are properly maintained by PG&E. Ensure that City-owned streetlights are properly maintained by City staff.
Pay energy costs for all PG&E- and City-owned streetlights. Provide accurate underground service alert marking of traffic signals and City-owned street lighting facilities.
Apply for an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant voucher with the Department of Energy Five-Year Outlook
Costs to fund streetlight and traffic signal maintenance will continue to increase due to the ever-increasing number of lights and signals that are installed as the City grows, as well as increasing PG&E energy and maintenance costs. Existing PG&E maintained cobra head style streetlights were retrofitted to LED in 2016 and 2017, reducing PG&E energy and maintenance costs. City owned and maintained streetlights will be retrofitted to LED as grants become available, further reducing energy costs and maintenance costs due to the longer life of LED bulbs. All new streetlights are being installed with LEDs and staff will continue to explore additional opportunities to decrease streetlighting costs.

Public Utilities Storm Drain
Department Section 72500
2024-2025 Goals
The goal of the Storm Drain Section is to protect the health, welfare, safety, and property of Clovis residents, to protect storm water quality, and to protect property from the hazards of flooding.
Specifically, these goals include:
Provide a well-maintained storm drain system by performing annual maintenance. Prevent flooding of private and public property by responding quickly to emergency situations. Protect storm water quality through implementation of and compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Maintain temporary storm water basins.
Provide sandbags and assistance to residents during flooding. Set up pumps in flooded areas.
Ensure maintenance of all storm drain systems in cooperation with the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD).
Continue to work with the FMFCD on NPDES issues.
Five-Year Outlook
The transfer of all permanent flood control facilities to the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District was completed in 1991-1992. Implementation of the Storm Drain Master Plan is a joint activity between Clovis and FMFCD. FMFCD is included in the preliminary review of development projects to provide advice on appropriate conditions necessary to implement the master plan and the NPDES regulations. The City is a co-permittee with FMFCD, City of Fresno, Fresno County, and CSUF in the municipal permit for storm water discharge. The agencies currently operate under a permit related to a State Order issued in 2016. The City's role under the permit includes implementation of development design conditions, inspection during construction, annual reporting, employee training, and cooperation with FMFCD in program enforcement. Most costs in this budget activity are largely a function of the rainfall amounts received during each winter, as overtime costs are funded from this budget. Lighter rainfall years usually result in lower expenditures. 174

Public Utilities Parks
Department Section 73000
2024-2025 Goals
The goal of the Parks Section is to maintain City recreational facilities, streetscaping, parks, and other landscaped open space areas, trees, and building grounds at a reasonable cost and in the best possible condition, commensurate with available funding.
Maintain 610 acres consisting of:
- 74 parks totaling 153 acres. Two of these parks include active recreational areas with lighted baseball diamonds, soccer fields, snack bars and restroom buildings. One includes a beach volleyball and basketball courts. Twelve are medium-sized parks that include picnic areas, play lots, restrooms, and open spaces. The remaining 62 parks are passive neighborhood and mini-parks, most with tot lots that are scattered throughout the community. - 340 acres of green belts, street gardens, and landscaped median islands. - 100 acres of trails and paseos.
- Architectural neighborhood entry lighting and structural features. - 6 acres of building grounds at the Civic Center, Old Town Clovis, Senior Center, the Los Altos Corporation Yard, Police/Fire Headquarters, and miscellaneous City properties. - 11 acres of undeveloped park land and miscellaneous public right-of-way property. - Approximately 42,000 City street trees.
Participate in landscape plan design and review, as well as landscape construction inspection services, to ensure quality landscaping at reasonable maintenance costs. Participate in master planning for future growth and infill areas to implement sustainable and maintainable landscape that is consistent with operational constraints and limited budgets. Coordinate and schedule park facility use for picnics, special park events, and sports activities.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Continue to implement productivity-enhancing landscape design standards. Continue contracting for maintenance services for street-side and median landscaping, focusing in-house staff on maintenance of City parks, Old Town, Civic Center, and tree hazard pruning. Continue to develop the GIS landscape layer and implement paperless cost accounting and maintenance activity documentation.
Maintain a cost accounting system for maintenance activities that will assist with cost containment, future design of facilities and landscapes, and cost recovery. Implement efficient strategies and defer some periodic maintenance activities in order to maximize the level of service consistent with funding levels.
Utilize volunteers and community service personnel to assist City forces when available. Improve the maintainability of currently landscaped areas through specific revisions to the planting palette and irrigation systems.
Develop and implement new landscape designs to comply with water-efficient landscape standards. Develop and implement a refurbishing plan for deferred areas within the General Fund parks and grounds.
Five-Year Outlook
City parks and recreational facilities will continue to be heavily used by the public, creating a demand for additional facilities. The level of service in the LMD areas will be consistent with the LMD funding levels. There will continue to be a noticeable difference between the level of service in the LMD areas and the General Fund areas. Cost-saving measures are no longer adequate to cover maintenance and capital replacement costs within certain benefit zones in the LMD. LMD elections to increase assessments for two zones, Zones 2 and 5, recently failed through the Proposition 218 process. Maintenance activities and overall expenditures will need to be reduced to match annual revenues. Elections will need to occur during the forecast period in the benefit zones that do not have an automatic escalation adjustment to maintain sufficient funding levels. Grant funding will continue to be sought for the conversion of older irrigation systems and playground replacement. 176

Public Utilities Landscape Maintenance District
Department Section 73200
2024-2025 Goals
The goal of the City's Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) is to keep the parks, greenbelts, streetscapes, urban forests, and lighting systems located within the LMD in good condition for the enjoyment of the citizens of Clovis at reasonable costs to property owners in the LMD. Approximately 66% of the City’s landscaped acreage is within the LMD.
Specific goals include:
Provide quality, cost-effective maintenance services for LMD parks, landscape, and other facilities. Manage the benefit zone fees and budgets to ensure that charges are adequate to provide the required level of service along with adequate replacement reserves, while at the same time ensuring that excessive funds are not collected.
Monitor water use on public open spaces through deployment of water-wise landscape plans, droughttolerant plantings, and irrigation delivery technology.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Apply design and productivity strategies that provide aesthetically pleasing facilities and landscaping at a reasonable cost.
Apply cost accounting measures that accurately identify costs, facilitate full cost recovery, and identify inefficiencies.
Adjust LMD assessments annually, consistent with the covenants. Manage benefit zone reserves such that they are adequate to provide for replacement of enhancement features as required.
Continue contracting for maintenance services for street-side and median landscaping, focusing in-house staff on maintenance of City parks, Old Town, Civic Center, and tree hazard pruning.
Five-Year Outlook
Outdoor recreation activity is steadily increasing. The Loma Vista area is showing growth, with new housing tracts springing up around the almost completed Loma Vista Village Green Park. Zone 1 (north of Herndon Avenue to Shepherd Avenue) is also showing significant growth. In addition, Heritage Grove has begun developing north of Shephard Avenue and west of Sunnyside Avenue. Several of the benefit zones have accumulated sufficient reserves and are adjusted annually, if needed, to coincide with maintenance costs. Some of the benefit zones still need to build reserves.
The LMD continues to have adequate reserves to carry it through 2024-2025. Benefit zones without the capability of an automatic assessment will periodically require an assessment increase election. 178

Public Utilities Fleet Maintenance
Department Section 75000
2024-2025 Goals
The goal of the Fleet Maintenance Section is to maintain, in a cost-effective manner, the City’s vehicles and related equipment at a safe and dependable level.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Maximize useful life of vehicles and equipment.
Minimize callbacks.
Provide quality and competitive services to City departments. Monitor and evaluate vehicle/equipment operational costs. Consider life-cycle costs when adding or replacing vehicles. Administer the capital depreciation account to ensure timely replacement of all equipment and vehicles. Utilize private vendors as appropriate for specific fleet servicing needs. Plan and budget to transition fleet vehicles to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) to comply with state and federal regulations.
Five-Year Outlook
As the state and federal governments adopt more stringent pollution control regulations, especially as they relate to diesel-fueled on-road and off-road heavy equipment and zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), the City is being tasked with repairing and maintaining emission control devices or replacing vehicles with new vehicles with compliant engines, planning for the installation of zero-emission fueling infrastructure, and planning for the purchase of ZEVs to transition to a zero-emission fleet. This means that vehicles are occasionally replaced earlier than normal, and there are higher replacement costs.
The California Air Resources Board adopted the Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation in December 2018, requiring large transit agencies to begin purchasing zero-emission buses (ZEBs), with the goal of transitioning all transit buses in California to zero-emission technology by 2040. The City is considered a small transit agency and will be required to purchase only zero-emission transit vehicles after 2030. Additionally, the California Air Resources Board adopted the Advanced Clean Cars II regulation in 2022 and additional legislation, called Advanced Clean Fleet in October of last year, which together require the City to transition the City fleet to ZEVs.
The Fleet Maintenance Section will continue participation in cooperative purchasing arrangements for fleet parts and services to save money and to improve efficiency. The City’s current cooperative purchasing agreement with Sourcewell continues to provide the City with quality parts at significantly reduced prices.
In 2021-2022, funds were transferred from the General Fund to the Fleet Capital Fund to begin transitioning the Police and Fire Departments back into the fleet renewal program beginning in fiscal year 2022-2023. This allows City staff to plan for the replacement of aging police and fire vehicles strategically and financially. Each department will also ultimately save money by not having to pay the increasing interest rates with leasepurchase financing. However, rising vehicle costs and ZEV requirements will require all departments to make increased annual investments to maintain the fleet renewal program. 180

Public Utilities Community Sanitation
Department Sections 76000/77500
2024-2025 Goals
Provide a clean and healthy environment for the community to support economic development and quality of life by efficiently collecting municipal solid waste generated by City commercial and residential customers, and by routinely removing dirt and debris from all City streets, curbs, and gutters. Provide efficient, effective, and environmentally sound collection services to our customers. Collect, haul, and dispose of municipal solid waste in compliance with local, county, state, and federal regulations.
Waste prevention by increasing recycling and organic diversion. Maintain accurate records and monitor all outsourced service contracts. Provide resources, superior customer service, and operational efficiency, including increasing public awareness for proper disposal of waste and recycling and waste reduction programs. Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal laws. Provide financial assurance for landfill closure costs, post-closure care costs, and corrective action costs.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Provide recycling and organics services to residential and commercial customers. Encourage and educate customers about keeping our environment clean and preserving resources, along with compliance with state recycling and organics mandates.
Provide collection of all residential and commercial/industrial municipal waste at competitive rates by continuing to evaluate and monitor the operational processes. Utilize on-board technology to meet or exceed industry standards for collection services. Sweep all residential streets twice per month and the Downtown Central Business District twice per week. Conduct leaf removal from City streets during fall months. Continue to conduct the Community Cleanup program twice annually for Clovis residential neighborhoods. Continue to utilize professional consultants and contractors to assist the City with compliance to county, state, and federal regulations.
Implement and operate programs to comply with state regulations relating to the control of groundwater, surface water degradation, and landfill gas migration.
Provide customer service representatives to meet with new commercial customers to discuss their individual needs to provide the most economical and logical service available. Maintain compliance with the landfill gas regulations. Meet financial test requirements established by the State of California, Title 27.
Five-Year Outlook
The current landfill cell in use was completed in the spring of 2013 and is anticipated to provide disposal capacity for the City until the year 2030. Implementation of new, effective techniques in operations have extended the timeline by a few years. Current projections of the five-year funding outlook indicate that all known operational and environmental compliance issues can be managed with an adjustment in rates at or below the current 4% annual increase approved by a Proposition 218 election in 2004 for collection rates and in 2021 for street sweeping rates, which are incorporated into the Clovis Municipal Code. Solid Waste operations will continue to require the services of professional consultants/vendors, as many facets of the solid waste industry require expertise and resources not available in-house. Private consultants or vendors will be utilized throughout the next five years to provide needed services. Methods to extend the life of the landfill will continue to be pursued. The City continues to comply with the State’s waste diversion goals, including an outreach program to notify businesses of the State’s mandatory commercial recycling and organics requirements. Solid Waste revenues have not declined significantly because of these new regulations, but it is possible that they could decline in the future as more businesses utilize recycling and organics services and subsequently reduce their refuse service. The sweeping operation is affected by current and pending federal storm water regulations and air quality regulations. Street cleaning is being viewed as a good management practice to reduce pollutants entering the air and storm water runoff. Street Sweeping operations are managed under a separate budget section for accountability and control.

Public Utilities Wastewater
Department Section 76500
2024-2025 Goals
The goals of the Wastewater Section are to collect, treat, and dispose of all wastewater generated within the City and to ensure compliance with all appropriate local, state, and federal regulations.
Specifically, these goals include:
Provide adequate maintenance of the City's sewer mains and lift stations, which allows for the efficient collection of wastewater.
Provide for the treatment of wastewater generated within the City.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Operate, clean, and repair 442 miles of sanitary sewer mains and seven existing sewer lift/pump stations, including a new temporary lift station added in fiscal year 2021-2022. Record video of the City sewer mains to identify problems and to make recommendations for capital improvement projects.
Provide accurate underground service alert marking of sewer facilities. Utilize up-to-date telemetry to monitor sewer lift station operations in the most efficient and economical manner.
Upgrade outdated supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software that is no longer supported and does not adhere to current industry security standards for industrial control systems (ICS). Modern SCADA will provide ease of use and advanced functionality for operators, developers, and system administrators.
Operate the ST-WRF for the City’s new growth areas through the City’s design, build, and operation contractor (JACOBS, formerly CH2MHill).
Monitor and report to the Regional Water Quality Control Board data from the discharges from the Water Reuse Facility to the recycled water use areas and the NPDES-permitted discharge points. Operate the sewer lift stations and the recycled water pump station and distribution system constructed to serve the new growth areas of the City.
Work with consultants on the Wastewater System Master Plan and the Recycled Water Master Plan Updates to evaluate service delivery to future growth associated with the current General Plan.
Five-Year Outlook
The Fresno-Clovis Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant continues to upgrade and replace various components and facilities. The City of Clovis will continue to share in most of these costs. New growth areas that are outside the current service areas will ultimately be served by the Clovis Water Reuse Facility. This facility provides tertiary treated recycled water that is used in the City as an additional water source in lieu of potable water. The NPDES permit for the facility was adopted on April 4, 2019. It became effective on June 1, 2019, and is set to expire once the new five-year permit is adopted by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, which is scheduled for June 21, 2024. Additional monitoring and studies will occur during this five-year permit term and will result in additional requirements in the next permit term. A 3% rate increase is included in the forecast period to keep up with rising operational, maintenance, and capital costs, and to maintain a sufficient fund balance for future bonding capacity. There remain sufficient funds in the bond charge fund balance collected in prior years to continue the full $7.30 per month rebate to customers. The amount of the rebate is evaluated each year and the bond charge may be needed depending on the number of development units and the corresponding revenue.

Public Utilities Community Facilities District No. 2020-01 Department Section 42800
2024-2025 Goals
The goal of Community Facilities District No. 2020-1 (Dry Creek Preserve Sewer Facilities and Services) is to collect the appropriate funds to finance all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of certain temporary public sewer facilities and the eventual replacement of those temporary facilities with permanent public sewer facilities. This includes maintenance of a temporary lift station, administration of the CFD, accumulation of funds for future permanent master planned wastewater facilities, and accumulation of funds for decommissioning of temporary facilities.
Specific goals include:
Provide quality, cost-effective maintenance services for temporary sewer facilities. Manage the CFD tax assessment and budget to ensure that charges are adequate to provide the required level of service along with adequate replacement reserves, while at the same time, ensuring that excessive funds are not collected.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Operate, clean, and repair temporary facilities to the same level of service as permanent facilities. Apply cost accounting measures that accurately identify costs, facilitate full cost recovery, and identify inefficiencies.
Manage reserves such that they are adequate to provide for replacement of temporary facilities as required.
Five-Year Outlook
The formation of CFD 2020-01 was adopted via Council resolution in 2020, authorizing the levy of a special tax each fiscal year on property within the CFD. The special tax is to be levied through Fiscal Year 2119-2120 for authorized facilities or until all authorized facilities have been constructed or acquired, whichever occurs first. 186

Public Utilities Water
Department Section 77000
2024-2025 Goals
The goal of the Water Section is to deliver pure and safe drinking water meeting or exceeding state and federal standards. Specifically, these goals include:
Produce and efficiently deliver enough water to serve our customers and ensure that the water delivered meets or exceeds all state and federal standards.
Provide high-level customer satisfaction regarding complaint response and meter reading. Maintain a level of system pressure for adequate fire flow and meeting peak customer demands. Preserve and manage our groundwater supplies to meet the future needs of our customers. Implement appropriate demand reduction methods to both preserve our supplies and to minimize costs for our customers.
Increase production at the Surface Water Treatment Plant (SWTP). Increase groundwater recharge at the Marion Basins.
Objectives to Meet the Goals
Continue to monitor production wells and the distribution system for constituents as required by state and federal regulations, and provide treatment facilities for wells that do not meet regulations. Utilize up-to-date telemetry to monitor demands and program well operations in the most efficient and economical manner.
Upgrade outdated supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software that is no longer supported and does not adhere to current industry security standards for industrial control systems (ICS). Modern SCADA will provide ease of use and advanced functionality for operators, developers, and system administrators.
Install and maintain meters that are compatible with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). Maintain and rehabilitate wells to provide a stable water supply, maintain and update the SWTP, and protect the quality of the water provided to our customers by aggressively implementing the backflow prevention program.
Increase utilization of surface water and the SWTP to decrease reliance on groundwater. Expand delivery of recycled water from the ST-WRF to select customers for irrigation in lieu of potable water.
Maximize use of the City’s dedicated recharge facility to preserve the groundwater aquifer. Encourage water conservation through various programs and rate structures. Work with consultants on the Water System Master Plan Update to evaluate service delivery to future growth associated with the current General Plan.
Work with other agencies in the Kings Basin as a member of the North Kings Groundwater Sustainability Agency (NKGSA) to implement the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).
Five-Year Outlook
New state and federal regulations continue to be reviewed and adopted. This makes it increasingly challenging and costly to furnish water that meets or exceeds quality standards established by the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Monitoring for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) began in 2019 and is continuing. 1,2,3 TCP monitoring began in 2018 and is continuing. The results of this monitoring (and previous monitoring) will likely result in additional water quality standards that the City’s sources may not meet without additional treatment, such as granular activated carbon (GAC). Due to the 2014-2015 drought conditions and court decisions related to water rates around that same time, revised rates were adopted in the 2015-2016 fiscal budget year. A new rate study is under way and there’s a possibility that revised rates will need to be considered and approved through a Proposition 218 process during the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The City is a member of the NKGSA and is working cooperatively with the agency in order to implement the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) passed in 2014. These imposed regulations have increased costs to the City through the purchase of additional surface water supplies and intentional recharge to meet the sustainability requirements developed in the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP), which was adopted by the NKGSA Board and submitted to the State in 2020. The five-year forecast shows a projected 3% increase in rates annually. 188

In April 2008 the former Clovis Community Development Agency issued tax allocation bonds in the amount of $19,100,000 at interest rates varying from 3.25% to 4.75%. The proceeds are being utilized to aid in the financing of the former Clovis Community Development Agency's projects and were used for the refunding of $7,170,000 aggregate principal amount of the Agency's outstanding 1996 tax allocation bonds. Due to the elimination of redevelopment, the City is acting as the Successor Agency. The City has completed the necessary requirements, and applied to the State Department of Finance for the "finding of completion".
Upon award of the finding of completion from the Department of Finance, the remaining bond proceeds will be used for the original intended purposes. The last debt service payment is scheduled for the fiscal year 2037/38. Included in the 2024/25 budget is $960,000 for principal and $380,000 for interest.
The following is a schedule of debt service payments for the 2008 Tax Allocation Bonds:
The purpose of the Clovis Successor Agencies is to wind down the activities of the former Redevelopment Agency. The Successor Agencies' activities are reported as a trust fund and are therfore not included in the City of Clovis' budget. These schedules are presented for informational purposes. 190

SEWER CAPITAL PROJECTS – ENTERPRISE AND DEVELOPER
The Sewer Capital Projects - Enterprise budget includes projects that will repair and/or replace existing sanitary sewer mains that are severely deteriorated or are not adequately sized for the flows now being experienced.
These sewer mains present continual maintenance problems.
The Sewer Capital Projects - Developer budget includes the debt service payments for the 2013 Wastewater Revenue Bond, the 2015 Wastewater Revenue Bond, and the 2017 Sewer Revenue Bond which is the previous 2007 Sewer Revenue Bond for the Sewage Treatment and Water Reuse Facility (ST-WRF) and related components that has been refinanced. Also included in this budget are improvements associated with the Recycled Water System and construction of sewer projects driven by new development.
The sewer capital projects planned for 2024 - 2025 include:
Design of the De Wolf Sewer Trunk.
Design of Wastewater Master Plan diversions
Work on the Sewer and Recycled Water Master Plans.
The sewer main improvement projects for 2024 - 2025 are intended to repair the existing mains that have the highest maintenance or service call frequency. It is expected that repairing these mains will result in a reduction in the time spent by City maintenance personnel, thereby reducing the maintenance cost to the sewer enterprise operation.

PARK IMPROVEMENTS
The Park program consists of master planning, design and construction of park improvements. Community park improvements are funded by development fees and state grants when available. Neighborhood parks are installed by development. Park development fees are paid by all new developments constructed within the City of Clovis.
Major projects planned for 2024 - 2025 include:
Design of the proposed Recharge Basin Park in the Loma Vista area Design and construction of the unfinished portion of the trail on the bank of the canal at the Dry Creek/ Enterprise Canal.
Updating Master Plans and continued development for City Parks. Continued preliminary Master Planning for a Regional park in the Northeast.
Maintenance of acquired land for future parks and the construction of a newly paved trail will have a minimal effect initially on the annual operational costs to Parks and the General Fund account. Upon the build out of these facilities, funding should be increased to meet the additional burden placed on the maintenance and operations budget. The proposed 2024 - 2025 Parks capital budget is balanced to meet the level of service expected by the Community.
This year's budgeted projects will continue to make major contributions to the development of park facilities throughout the City.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Street Improvement Projects are funded by state and federal gas taxes, state and local sales taxes, major street development fees, Community Development Block Grants, and reimbursements from other agencies for work completed in their jurisdictions. Funding for street projects is also provided by federal transportation grants.
Traffic signal installations are partially determined by a traffic signal priority list. The highest priority projects are based on traffic volumes, accidents, pedestrian numbers, vehicle speeds, and congestion.
Not all of the street programs that are ranked high on a priority list are placed in the current year budget. Many of these facilities are tied to funding sources or to other programs that are required to occur prior to, or concurrently with, the needed street improvement (such as underground improvement installation, new development and right of way purchase constraints).
Project priorities and street locations were determined using the Pavement Management System (PMS). Arterial, collector and local street reaches throughout the City were given a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating. The PMS was then used to develop a long term maintenance solution using the designated PCI values. Technical and Management teams evaluated the PMS recommendations to validate project necessity. Many of the recommended projects were shifted to later years due to funding constraints in the street improvement account.
Major projects planned for 2024 - 2025 include:
Improvements of City owned public right of way for compliancy with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Sealing and rejuvenation programs of the various street surfaces to increase longevity and reduce deterioration.
Continued installation of pedestrian and bicycle improvements at various locations. Design and construction of traffic signal improvements at various intersections. Design of signal interconnect and adaptive signalization for major street corridors. Reconstruction and street widening of various streets to improve safety and traffic flow. These streets have been identified as part of the City’s Pavement Management System.
This budget provides for an aggressive schedule of street repair, overlay and reconstruction. Street overlay projects as identified in this year’s budget and five-year plan have provisional estimated costs for construction.
Some of the projects may not be of acceptable condition for overlaying and may be considered for street reconstruction. Estimated funding for these projects will be re-evaluated as street reconstruction is more costly than a street overlay. This may have an impact on the delivery of projects that have been identified in the Community Investment Program for street improvements.
Staff continues to investigate alternative construction methods for street rehabilitation to reduce project expenditures. The alternative construction methods will be administered through pilot projects in which a rigorous inspection program will be used to evaluate project success. The success factors include projects costs, pavement condition, pavement resilience and pavement longevity.
With the reconstruction of some of the proposed streets, new paved lanes may be added to the street maintenance inventory. However, those same projects will be designed with a minimum twenty-year life expectancy and may involve reconstructing older, lower standard streets. Overall, the impact on the street maintenance fund is expected to be nominally reduced.

FIVE-YEAR COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM
The Five-Year Community Investment Program represents an effort to identify major capital needs and schedule projects consistent with community priorities and available funding. The Capital Program will continue to provide major investments into the community within the identified funding. Most of the funding for these projects will come from grants, development fees and tax revenues. The implementation of the parks and open space master plan is contingent on obtaining new funding sources. Major projects include:
• Design, construction and replacement of water mains and wells to serve the current capacity and new development. • Site acquisition in the Southeast and Northwest areas for future City parks. • Continuing design, construction and maintenance of the trail system within the Clovis area.• Assisting the Community in the development, repair and rehabilitation of affordable housing. • Continued improvement to the City’s infrastructure including street reconstruction and sewer and water collection/distribution facilities.• Design and construction of various traffic signals throughout the City.• Construction of bike lanes on various streets throughout the City.
Implementation of the Five-Year Community Investment Program will require new sources of financing. Several important projects are identified in the Government Facilities, Streets and Water Programs for which there is no assured funding. Without increased participation by local, state and federal governments and agencies, accomplishment of these projects will be delayed.
A summary of revenue and expenditures for the Five-Year Program is presented on the facing page, followed by individual project sheets with greater detail on scope and financing.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council take action to approve each component of the proposed Project as outlined in the subject title of this item.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wilson Premier Homes, Inc., the applicant, seeks approval for the TM6343 Project, herein referred to as “Project.” This Project is designed as a 590-lot planned single-family development on 71.54 acres of property in the City’s Heritage Grove planned growth area. The Project site is a portion of the larger 246-acre annexation area required of the Project. The Project requires a series of entitlement applications including an annexation, general plan amendment, prezone, planned development permit, and a vesting tentative tract map. Approval of this Project would enable City staff to proceed with the annexation process through LAFCO and allow the developer to work towards processing a residential site plan review entitlement and development drawings. 432
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
BACKGROUND
The Project site is located within the City’s Heritage Grove Urban Center that encompasses four square miles within the northwest sphere of influence area of Clovis. Heritage Grove is one of three Urban Centers identified in the City’s General Plan and designed as sub-communities that enable the City to grow while maintaining authentic, small town character and overall livability.
A goal within the Heritage Grove Urban Center is to achieve compact development patterns that integrate a variety of housing types, sizes, and densities at the neighborhood and community level, and development of a well-connected grid system of roads. A comprehensive design document of the Heritage Grove area was developed and adopted on December 5, 2016, establishing an overall theme and criteria for development. Development within the Heritage Grove Urban Center was initiated in 2018 with the approval of TM6200 near Shepherd and Clovis Avenue. Wilson Premier Homes submitted the application for this Project under consideration in 2021, initiating the CEQA process. The proposed Project is contiguous with the nearly completed development (TM6200) to the south.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
This Project is a 590-lot planned single-family development on 71.54 acres of property in the City’s Heritage Grove planned growth area. The Project site is a portion of the larger 246-acre annexation area required of the Project. As depicted in Figure 1 below, the Project site and annexation area is located in the southwest area of Behymer Avenue and the Sunnyside Avenue alignment. The Project entails several entitlement applications, including an annexation, general plan amendment, prezone, a permit for planned development, and a vesting tentative tract map.
The following sections analyze each entitlement request and provide findings in support.
FIGURE 1 – Project Area
433
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
General Plan Amendment GPA2021-003
The 71.54 acre Project site is currently designated as Medium Density Residential (4.1-7.0 DU/Ac) in the City's General Plan Land Use Diagram. This designation mandates that development must adhere to single-family residential types and fall within the density range of
4.1 to 7.0 dwelling units per acre. Consequently, the Project is restricted to developing no fewer than 293 units and no more than 501 units. However, the applicant seeks to amend the City's General Plan land use diagram by proposing a change to the Project site's designation to Medium High Density Residential (7.1-15.0 DU/Ac). This designation would allow for the development of between 508 and 1,073 units. The proposed Project, aiming for a development of 590 units, aligns with the lower end of the density range permitted under the proposed Medium High Density Residential designation.
FIGURE 2 – General Plan Designation
General Plan Required Findings and Analysis
In order to approve an amendment to the General Plan, specific findings must be made. Those include the following:
1. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan;
434
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
The proposed amendment aligns internally with the outlined goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan. Additionally, the Project will conform to the proposed General Plan land use designation of Medium High Density Residential.
a. Land Use element - Goal 3: Orderly and sustainable outward growth into three Urban Centers with neighborhoods that provide a balanced mix of land uses and development types to support a community lifestyle and small-town character.
The Project is proposed within the Heritage Grove Urban Center, one of the three Urban Centers designated by the General Plan to facilitate growth in a manner that prioritizes high quality, fiscal sustainability, and balance. A goal within the Heritage Grove Urban Center is to achieve compact development patterns that integrate a variety of housing types, sizes, and densities at the neighborhood and community level, and development of a well-connected grid system of roads. Approval of the Project would facilitate this goal and contribute to fulfilling the design guidelines of the urban center, encompassing circulation patterns, public facilities, and aesthetic considerations.
b. Land Use element - Goal 3, Policy 3.9: Connected development. New development in Urban Centers must fully improve roadway, pedestrian, and bicycle systems within and adjacent to the proposed project and connect to existing urbanized development.
Circulation Element - Goal 1: A comprehensive and well-maintained multimodal circulation system that provides for safe and efficient movement of people and goods.
Circulation Element - Goal 1, Policy 1.6: Internal circulation. New development shall utilize a grid or modified-grid street pattern…
As previously mentioned, the Project has been designed to fulfill both the circulation requirements outlined in the General Plan and the design guidelines specific to Heritage Grove. The development will enhance the adjacent streetscape, including Behymer along the Project’s frontage, as well as Baron, Palisade, and North Osmun Avenues between Behymer and Perrin Avenues. Additionally, internal local streets, such as segments of Perrin Avenue and Hammel Avenue within the development area, will be installed. Baron and Perrin Avenues provide connection to the existing City developments situated immediately to the south and east of the Project site, thereby contributing to the overall street grid system in the area. c. Land Use element - Goal 5: A city with housing, employment, and lifestyle opportunities for all ages and incomes of residents.
Land Use Element - Goal 3, Policy 5.1: Housing variety in developments. Housing variety in developments. The Clovis General Plan has been planned to provide a variety of housing product types suitable to each state of a person’s life. Each 435
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
development should contribute to a diversity of housing sizes and types within the standards appropriate to the land use designation…
The Project comprises compact single-family residential homes on smaller-thanstandard lot sizes, ranging from 2,041 to 9,676 square feet. Typically, in higher density developments with smaller homes, the cost of a home is reduced, creating opportunities for home ownership for families and individuals with above moderate incomes.
Furthermore, the Project will contribute towards the City’s housing inventory. Offering a non-traditional single-family development, it adds to the diversity of housing options in Clovis. The development presents two distinct product types: Wilson Homes proposes its Elev8ions style homes and its Regent Park style homes. The Elev8ions product features smaller lot sizes and predominantly 2-story homes, while the Regent Park project offers slightly larger lots with homes ranging from single-story to 2 stories.
With these two product types complementing the already unique single-family residential development, the Project will enhance the variety of housing options available within the City's existing housing stock.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City;
The Project is proposed within the City's planned growth area and has undergone thorough review by various City departments and external agencies. No significant concerns were raised by these stakeholders. Furthermore, the Project's environmental impacts have been assessed through an associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIR delineated the significant environmental impacts across each mandated category by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and proposed mitigation measures where necessary.
Notable impacts deemed significant and unavoidable include traffic. To proceed, the City must find and adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations, affirming that the Project's economic, social, and other benefits outweigh its significant, unavoidable effects. Upon this determination by the City Council, the necessary findings will be established.
3. If applicable, the parcel is physically suitable (including absence of physical constraints, access, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provision of utilities) for requested/ anticipated project;
The 71.54 acre site is well suited to accommodate the proposed 590-lot single-family residential subdivision and necessary utility connections to the site. Situated directly north of the current City limits, the Project shares proximity with similar single-family residential developments. Adjacent to the Project site lies a sizable Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) basin to the east, while rural residential homes are situated adjacent to the Project site in the same direction. Northward, across Behymer Avenue, agricultural lands border the Project site. The Project's location is consistent with both existing and planned surrounding land uses. Moreover, the Project was designed in such a way that limits the number of houses abutting the existing rural residential homes. 436
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
4. There are compelling reasons for the amendment.
The applicant provided justification for the amendment which is outlined in Attachment 7 of this report and summarized below. The decision-making body has the discretion to determine if reasons for amending the General Plan are compelling. a. The Project will provide a mix of high-quality housing within the northern new growth area of the City of Clovis and is justified by the need for more affordable housing.
Higher density developments reduce urban delivery costs. b. The subject site is of an odd shape and will require extra ordinarily expensive public improvements. The slight increase in density addresses a market demand for the housing proposed by the project and lowers infrastructure costs thus improving affordability.
c. At the time of the land use designation adoption for the property, development cost and related infrastructure cost were not accelerating at the rate as is now.
In brief, the proposed amendment to the General Plan satisfies the criteria necessary for approval. It adheres to the goals and policies outlined in the General Plan, shows no adverse effects on the city's public welfare, health, or safety, verifies the physical suitability for the Project, and offers compelling reasons for the amendment. These include the provision of quality housing, the improvement of recreational amenities, and contributing towards meeting the housing demand in the City of Clovis.
Prezone and Planned Development Permit
Prezone
The Project is associated with a prezone and planned development permit. The proposed prezone, R2021-006, aims to rezone the Project site from the Fresno County AE20 Zone District to the Clovis R-1-PRD (Planned Residential Development) Zone District. Additionally, the application will encompass the prezoning of several other sites slated for annexation from Fresno County Zoning to City of Clovis Zoning. This prezoning process is a prerequisite for their integration into the City. Figure 3 on the following page illustrates the proposed zoning for each property, all of which will align with the underlying General Plan designations for the seven sites.
The proposed R-1-PRD designation for the specific Project site is consistent with the proposed Medium High General Plan designation.
437
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
FIGURE 3 – Zone District
Prezone Required Findings and Analysis
The subsequent findings are necessary to approve a Zone Map amendment. It is essential to note that these findings overlap with those detailed in the preceding General Plan Amendment Required Findings and Analysis section and will reference the information provided therein.
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan;
The proposed Prezone conforms to both the General Plan designation intended for this Project and the existing General Plan designations for sites within the annexation area, extending beyond the 71.54 acre Project area. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan as outlined in number one of the General Plan Amendment Required Findings and Analysis section above.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City;
The Project is located within the City's designated growth area and has undergone comprehensive evaluation by multiple City departments and external agencies for feedback.
Importantly, no significant concerns were raised by these stakeholders. Additionally, the 438
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
Project's environmental impacts have been assessed through the accompanying Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
3. The parcel is physically suitable (including absence of physical constraints, access, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provision of utilities) for the requested zoning designations and anticipated land uses/ projects.
Refer to number 3 of the General Plan Amendment Required Findings and Analysis section.
Planned Residential Development
The proposed R-1-PRD Zone District requires the associated planned development permit.
Planned development permits are required for all planned residential developments, such as the proposed Project. Planned development permits facilitate design flexibility and encourage innovative and superior site planning, culminating in a comprehensive development of superior quality. Further details regarding the planned development permit are outlined below.
Development Standards
The planned development permit provides the flexibility to adjust or modify development standards, such as building coverage, height, setbacks, fence and wall heights, landscaping, open space, and street layout, where necessary and justifiable. The table below outlines the proposed development standards for each product type. While the applicant has provided models for each of their products, models will be assessed against the established development standards and formalized through the residential site plan review process, which has been recommended as a condition of approval for the tract map and planned development permit.

Table 1 above delineates developer’s proposed development standards by housing product (Elev8tions and Regent Park) in comparison to the traditional Zone District (R-1-MD) development standards associated with the Medium High Density zone district. Notably, deviations entail reductions in listed standards such as lot size, parcel configuration, setbacks, garage sizes, and an increase in maximum lot coverage. Furthermore, the Elev8ions product will include one home model featuring a single-car garage, whereas it is typical for a singlefamily home to provide a 2-car garage.
To ensure adequate side yard access and proper storage for trash toters, the Project proposes a minimum setback of five (5') feet for all garage-side setbacks. Additionally, the Project is conditioned to provide an all-weather surface for the placement and storage of trash receptacles, extending from the 5-foot side yard (garage side) to the front of the property. These proposed development standards are in line with recent projects approved under the planned development permit process.
Homeowners Association
The Project includes the integration of private streets primarily within three (3) gated communities. Within this development, the Homeowners Association (HOA) is slated to supervise the maintenance of open spaces and common areas, ensuring they remain well-kept and functional. Furthermore, the HOA will be responsible for enforcing regulations pertaining to unauthorized parking within the gated communities, thereby promoting a secure and organized environment for both residents and visitors. This setup is designed to uphold community standards and elevate the quality of life for residents within the Project's jurisdiction.
Proposed Amenities
Chapter 9.66 of the Clovis Municipal Code, Planned Development Permits, offers a framework for flexibility in development standards to accommodate various development types that may not conform to standard regulations. Within this context, planned residential developments are mandated to produce developments of superior quality, including a program of enhanced amenities commensurate with the requested deviations.
In exchange for concessions such as reduced lot sizes, setbacks, increased lot coverage, and deviations in garage specifications, the applicant proposes a range of project amenities aimed at benefiting both homeowners and the wider community. These amenities include two gated community areas featuring recreation buildings and pools, a trail along the north side of Perrin between Baron and Hammel Avenues comprising a spacious, meandering concrete path intersecting with a decomposed granite running trail, as well as an open space area equipped with fitness equipment. The development will also provide for a widened pedestrian right-of-way along the west side of Hammel Avenue to accommodate a meandering trail, facilitating 440
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
connectivity between the proposed park and future developments to the north, ultimately extending to Behymer Avenue. A conceptual illustration of the proposed amenities is provided as Attachment 9.
In addition to the requirement for proportional amenities, approval of a planned development permit necessitates the demonstration of superior development quality compared to what could be achieved through conventional development practices on the site. This might entail enhancements such as upgraded entry points, embellished block walls along street frontages, and superior exterior elevation design. These features are typically integrated into the proposed planned development projects by the applicant, subject to review and approval during the civil plan review process and residential site plan evaluation for individual lots.
Planned Development Permit Required Findings and Analysis The following are findings required to approve a planned development permit. Some of these findings overlap with those detailed in the previous General Plan Amendment Required Findings and Analysis section and will reference the information provided therein.
1. The planned development permit would:
a. Be allowed within the subject base zoning district.
The proposed Planned Development Permit is permissible within the R-1-PRD Zone District, which is proposed concurrently with the pre-zoning of the Project site (Development Area).
b. Be consistent with the purpose, intent, goals, policies, actions, and land use designations of the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Refer to number 1 of the General Plan Amendment Required Findings and Analysis section.
c. Be generally in compliance with all of the applicable provisions of this Development Code relating to both on- and off-site improvements that are necessary to accommodate flexibility in site planning and property development and to carry out the purpose, intent, and requirements of this chapter and the subject base zoning district, including prescribed development standards and applicable design guidelines.
The Project incorporates measures to construct both on-site and off-site improvements in accordance with the City's adopted infrastructure master plans and the standards outlined in the 2014 General Plan. The design of these improvements aligns with the proposed Project development standards and land use changes outlined in the staff report.
441
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
d. Ensure compatibility of property uses within the zoning district and general neighborhood of the proposed development.
The Project shares a comparable density and development type with the existing surrounding developments, thus ensuring compatibility within the area. The Project proposes development of single-family residences at the low range of the Medium High Density designation and is compatible with the existing developments to the south.
Although contiguous with the existing TM6200 to the south, the project site is otherwise primarily bounded by non-residential physical features including the Enterprise Canal, a large FMFCD basin, Baron Avenue, and Behymer Avenue. In response to neighbor comments, the Project was redesigned in such a way that limits proposed lots abutting the existing residential property to the east.
2. The proposed project would produce a comprehensive development of superior quality (e.g., appropriate variety of structure placement and orientation opportunities, appropriate mix of structure sizes, high quality architectural design, increased amounts of landscaping and open space, improved solutions to the design and placement of parking facilities, incorporation of a program of enhanced amenities, etc.) than which might otherwise occur from more traditional development applications.
The Project integrates design elements that elevate its quality beyond traditional developments. Notably, it includes amenities like open spaces and trails. Additionally, a corner gateway feature will be incorporated at the northeast corner of Behymer and North Osmun Avenues. The architectural design of the model homes will undergo thorough evaluation during the residential site plan review process to ensure high quality. Furthermore, landscaping along Perrin and Hammel Avenues will be enhanced as part of the Project's aesthetic improvements.
3. Proper standards and conditions have been imposed to ensure the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
The proposed Planned Development Permit will comply with Fire Department standards, the Clovis Development Code, and Building Code regulations to ensure adherence to public health and safety requirements.
4. Proper on-site traffic circulation and control is designed into the development to ensure protection for fire suppression and police surveillance equal to or better than what would normally be created by compliance with the minimum setback and parcel width standards identified in Division 2 of this title (Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Zone-Specific Standards).
The proposed Planned Development Permit will adhere to the standards set by the Fire Department and the requirements of the City Engineer concerning fire suppression measures and enhancements to traffic flow related to TM6343.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
5. The subject parcel is adequate in terms of size, shape, topography, and circumstances to accommodate the proposed development.
Refer to number 3 of the General Plan Amendment Required Findings and Analysis section.
6. The design, location, operating characteristics, and size of the proposed development would be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity, in terms of aesthetic values, character, scale, and view protection.
The Project mirrors the existing developments to the south and maintains a comparable density that aligns with both current and future land uses in the area. As a result, it will blend well in terms of both character and functionality.
Vesting Tentative Map
The Project encompasses a 71.54-acre site and is associated with a vesting tentative map, TM6343, provided as Attachment 4B in this report. TM6343 consists of 590 residential lots and several outlots allocated for amenities, open spaces, parking, and landscaping area. Further specifics regarding the vesting tentative tract map are detailed below.
Lot Details
The proposed 590-lot vesting tentative tract map features a range of lot sizes from 2,041 to 9,676 square feet, with an average size of about 3,259 square feet. This tract map is primarily organized into three gated communities. The northernmost and southernmost neighborhoods will feature the developer's Elev8ions product line, while the central neighborhood will showcase the Regent Park product line. The Elev8ions product line includes 376 lots, with sizes varying from 2,041 to 4,205 square feet and an average size of 2,135 square feet, offering smaller lots and more compact housing options compared to the Regent Park line. The Regent Park product line, on the other hand, encompasses 214 lots with sizes between 4,050 and 9,676 square feet, with an average lot size of 5,236 square feet.
These specific product types present distinctive lot sizes that differ from the standard zoning districts outlined in the Municipal Code. The PRD designation permits these unique lot sizes along with specific development standards, as detailed in the PRD section of the report. While the lot sizes are unique, this type of development is common within the City of Clovis and aligns with its established patterns.
Circulation and Baron Avenue Realignment
As previously stated, the Project aims to improve general circulation in the area by upgrading existing internal streets and constructing new ones. The proposed tract map includes improvements to the section of Behymer Avenue that fronts the property to meet City standards and triggers the installation of Baron, Palisade, and North Osmun Avenues to connect Perrin and Behymer Avenues. Furthermore, the Project will extend Perrin Avenue, which will transition into Hammel Avenue, enhancing connectivity. These streets will comply with the City's standards for local roads, including upgraded pedestrian pathways along the north side of Perrin Avenue and the west side of Hammel Avenue. Detailed information on these enhancements can be 443

found in the amenities section above. Additionally, the Project includes 32 to 37-foot-wide private streets within each of the three gated communities. Pedestrian access outside the gated communities will be well facilitated, but sidewalks are not included within the gated areas themselves.
Initially designed as a local street, Baron Avenue was intended to run directly north to Behymer Avenue from its current location at the TM6200 development, situated south of the Project site.
This alignment would have divided the Project site from the FMFCD basin and nearby residential properties to the east, as outlined in the City’s General Plan Circulation Element and further detailed in the Heritage Grove Master Plan and Design Guidelines. Initially, the Project was planned to align with this path of Baron Avenue. However, residents along the southern side of Behymer Avenue, east of the Project site, raised concerns about the planned Baron Avenue alignment because it would intersect Behymer very close to one of the existing homes.
Furthermore, and a traffic signal required at that intersection would make ingress and egress at the existing driveways difficult. In response to these concerns, the applicant revised the Project site layout and realign Baron Avenue. (This revision was made after the Planning Commission considered by the Project on April 18, 2024).
The Project configuration has been modified as a result of the shift of Baron Avenue. Figures 4 and 5 below depicts the original site layout and the updated site layout. Attachment 4B represents the updated site layout. With the revised alignment, Baron Avenue follows a path that heads north until it reaches approximately the midpoint of the FMFCD basin, then it veers west onto Palisade Avenue for approximately 530 feet, before turning north again onto North Osmun Avenue until it intersects with Behymer Avenue. This realignment shifts the intersection of Baron and Behymer Avenue roughly 500 feet westward from the existing residences, thereby addressing some of the residents' traffic concerns.
444
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
Importantly, this realignment of Baron Avenue does not impact the existing traffic study and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) conducted for the Project. Furthermore, the adjustment is not deemed a significant alteration since the local road still fulfills the connectivity objectives of the original design.
Heritage Grove Thematic Elements
The City’s 2014 General Plan directed the preparation and adoption of a comprehensive design document for the Heritage Grove area. As a result, the Heritage Grove Design Guidelines was developed and adopted on December 5, 2016. The document is intended to build upon the merits of the distinctive area that contains a unique and valuable agricultural and cultural heritage and to provide a vision and guidance for its future development and sustainability. The design document establishes an overall agricultural theme and quality for Heritage Grove. It illustrates and directs the intended architectural, landscape, and site elements to reinforce the theme and quality. Criteria and examples of design and treatments are provided throughout the document.
The proposed development is situated near a great opportunity area within Heritage Grove. It is located adjacent to the enterprise canal. Additionally, it is located directly east, across the enterprise canal from a future City park and trail with planned connectivity. These features contribute to the environment that the future residents of this development will enjoy. Heritage Grove is sprinkled with various areas designated for thematic elements including corner gateways. Gateways serve the purpose of framing and marking the entry points into the Heritage Grove Urban Center and distinctive neighborhoods. This development will design and install a corner gateway at the southeast corner of Behymer and North Osmun Avenues. This design will be the first design of its kind in the Heritage Grove area and therefore will be carried out in future developments with designated corner gateway requirements. Staff will work with the developer to establish a design that meets the intent provided in the Heritage Grove Design Guidelines.
The Director of Planning and Development Services will be responsible for approving the final corner gateway design.
Vesting Tentative Map Required Findings and Analysis
The following are findings required to approve a Vesting Tentative Map. It is essential to note that some of these findings overlap with those detailed in the previous Required Findings and Analysis sections and will reference the information provided therein.
1. The proposed map, subdivision design, and improvements are consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
The proposed map design maintains consistency with both the General Plan and the proposed planned development permit. All improvements will adhere to the Conditions of Approvals and City standards. The specifics of these improvements will undergo scrutiny during the City's civil review process to ensure compliance with standards.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development.
Refer to number 3 of the General Plan Amendment Required Findings and Analysis section. 445
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
3. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
As stated in the Project EIR, the proposed Project and its associated enhancements are not expected to generate any significant impacts, given the implementation of mitigation measures outlined in the Final EIR. Consequently, the Project is not anticipated to inflict substantial environmental harm or endanger fish and wildlife.
4. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health or safety problems.
The proposed tract map will comply with Fire Department standards, the Clovis Development Code, and Building Code regulations to ensure adherence to public health and safety requirements.
5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. This finding may also be made if the review authority finds that alternate easements for access or use will be provided, and that they will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This finding shall apply only to easements of record, or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, and no authority is hereby granted to the review authority to determine that the public at large has acquired easements of access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
During the final map review process conducted by the City's Engineering Division, all easements will be identified. Should it be required, alternative easements will be offered, ensuring they are substantially equivalent to those previously acquired for access through the proposed TM6343.
6. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
The City Engineer has determined that the City has the capacity to accommodate the proposed Project. Installation of sewer lines within the proposed subdivision and beyond its borders will adhere to the regulations set forth by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
7. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities.
The proposed subdivision will comply with the Clovis Development Code and California Building Code requirements as it relates to heating and cooling opportunities within TM6343. 446
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
8. The proposed subdivision, its design, density, and type of development and improvements conform to the regulations of this Development Code and the regulations of any public agency having jurisdiction by law.
The proposed subdivision is proposing a density of 8.25 units per acre, aligning with the Clovis General Plan's Land Use designation of Medium High Residential. Furthermore, the proposed subdivision comprises single-family housing, in accordance with the residential development requirements outlined in the Clovis General Plan.
In light of court decisions, it is appropriate for the City to make findings of consistency between the required dedications and the proposed development. Every dedication condition needs to be evaluated to confirm that there is a rough proportionality, or that a required degree of connection exists between the dedication imposed and the proposed development. The City of Clovis has made a finding that the dedication of property for this Project satisfies the development's proportionate contribution to the City's circulation system. The circulation system directly benefits the subject property by providing access and transportation routes that service the site. Further, the circulation system also enhances the property's value.
Annexation
The Project site is situated within the City’s Heritage Grove planned growth area and requires annexation into the City. While the Project site encompasses approximately 71.54 acres, a larger 246-acre annexation area is proposed after consultation with LAFCO staff to establish a logical boundary for incorporation. The proposed annexation is titled RO305, Behymer-Sunnyside Southwest Reorganization. In addition to the 71.54 development area, the proposed annexation boundary includes properties planned for future residential development at similar densities, six rural residential properties along Perrin Avenue, and an approximately 84-acre flood control basin owned by the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District. If approved, the annexation will proceed to the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for processing and final consideration. Development of the Project cannot occur without the completion of the annexation process.
Annexation Details
Property owners: 11
Owners Consenting to Annexation: 0
Registered Voters: 12

Standard Conditions of Annexation:
The City established standard baseline conditions for annexation projects that are incorporated into the resolution for the proposed annexation. These conditions encapsulate the mutually agreed upon tax-sharing arrangements between the City and Fresno County and scheduling of public services for the annexation sites. A site-specific service plan has been prepared demonstrating the City’s capacity to effectively serve the properties within the proposed annexation territory. The plan requires approval from the City Council and will be provided to Fresno LAFCo. The plan is provided as Attachment 17 of this report. 447
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
Draft Annexation Agreement
The residents of the six residential properties located immediately south of Behymer Avenue, east of the Project site, and within the proposed annexation area, have expressed interest in entering into an annexation agreement with the City. This development follows negotiations with the Project developer and City staff regarding the realignment of Baron Avenue after the April 18, 2024, Planning Commission meeting, as discussed in the Vesting Tract Map section above.
Initially resistant to the idea of annexation, these residents have now expressed willingness to consider it, provided the revised alignment of Baron Avenue is approved (as shown in the updated site layout depicted in Attachment 4B), and an acceptable annexation agreement is finalized. City staff are actively working with the residents to identify terms that are acceptable to all parties.
Planning Commission Hearing – April 18, 2024
On Thursday, April 18, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the Project, with staff presenting the Project alongside its recommendations and detailed information as described in the staff report. Staff also summarized additional public comments received after the report's completion in a memorandum and during the presentation. Residents from the surrounding area attended and voiced their opposition to the project. Key concerns raised included:
Increased traffic due to the Project.
Resistance to the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Baron and Behymer. Issues related to the alignment of Baron Avenue.
Opposition to the increase in density.
Zoning and General Plan designations for the areas to be annexed. Opposition to the annexation of residential properties near Behymer Avenue.
After discussions, the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the Council approve the entitlements associated with the Project. All the items except the vesting tract map were approved with a vote of 4-0-1, with Commissioner Bedsted absent. Commissioner Antuna dissented on approving the vesting tentative map due to unresolved issues with the Baron Avenue alignment, resulting in a 3-1-1 approval of that item.
Neighborhood Meetings
In accordance with City regulations, the applicant conducted a community meeting on Thursday, January 12, 2023, at the Clovis Council Chambers. The meeting was attended by approximately 9 residents, in addition to the project team and City staff. Attendees primarily voiced concerns about the proposed Project and raised questions on various topics, including but not limited to, the Project's design, environmental impact assessment under CEQA, traffic implications, and the nature of the product. These concerns were considered by staff in its evaluation of the Project.
The developer hosted the mandatory second neighborhood meeting on May 2, 2024, in accordance with City policy. The meeting was attended by approximately 13 residents, including the project team and City staff. Attendees primarily had clarifying questions regarding traffic 448
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
impacts to Behymer and Sunnyside Avenues and anticipated projects within the Heritage Grove growth area.
Public Comments
A public notice was sent to area residents within 800 feet of the property boundaries. Staff received correspondence expressing opposition to the project from a couple of neighbors adjacent to the project site and within the proposed annexation area. The correspondence was received prior to the April 18, 2024, Planning Commission meeting and is provided as Attachment 15 of this report. A memorandum with response to the comments is provided within the same attachment. The comments pertain to signal lights, traffic impacts, Baron Avenue, density increase, zoning and general plan designations for the rural residential properties adjacent to Behymer, opposition to the proposed annexation, and project alternatives. No additional correspondence was received after the Planning Commission meeting and prior to the finalization of this report to the City Council.
Review and Comments from Agencies
The Project was distributed to all City Divisions as well as outside agencies, including Caltrans, Clovis Unified School District, Fresno Irrigation District, Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District, AT&T, PG&E, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, State Department of Fish and Wildlife, County of Fresno, and Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo).
Comments received are attached only if the agency has provided concerns, conditions, or mitigation measures. Routine responses and comment letters are placed in the administrative record and provided to the applicant for their records.
Community Facilities District
The fiscal analysis of the Loma Vista Specific Plan identified possible long-term funding shortfalls in Clovis’ Citywide operating and maintenance costs. To address this issue the City of Clovis implemented a Community Facilities District. Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) are a means of providing additional funding for the provision of public facilities and services for public safety in newly developing areas of the community where the city would not otherwise be able to afford to continue to provide an adequate level of service as the City continues to grow. The use of CFDs is fairly common among cities in California experiencing high rates of growth, such as Clovis, due to significant losses of local revenue from tax shifts authorized by the State of California and the need to continue to provide an adequate level of service as growth occurs.
A condition of approval has been added to this tentative map requiring participation of this vesting tentative map in the CFD.
449
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
An Initial Study was prepared to identify the Project’s environmental effects and determine whether additional analysis is required. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts to the following environmental factors: noise, air quality, greenhouse gas and, transportation.
Although agricultural resources was screened out for additional review through the Initial Study, a determination was made to include it for additional analysis in the EIR. These environmental factors must be further analyzed through an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The documents associated with the EIR are provided as Attachments 11 through 15 in this report.
An EIR must disclose the expected environmental impacts, including impacts that cannot be avoided, growth-inducing effects, impacts found not to be significant, and significant cumulative impacts, as well as identify mitigation measures and alternatives to the proposed Project that could reduce or avoid its adverse environmental impacts. CEQA requires government agencies to consider and, where feasible, minimize environmental impacts of proposed development, and an obligation to balance a variety of public objectives, including economic, environmental, and social factors.
The following is a timeline of the environmental review process for this Project and description and summary of findings:
Publication of Initial Study and Notice of Preparation of EIR (SCH 2022120483) – 12-19-2022
Public Scoping Period – 12-19-2022 to 1-17-2023
Public Scoping Meeting – 1-12-2023
Publication of Draft EIR and Notice of Availability (SCH 2022120483) – 1-12-2024 Public Review period of DEIR – 1-12-2024 to 3-4-2024
On December 19, 2022, the City circulated a Notice of Preparation (NOP) notifying responsible agencies and interested parties that an EIR would be prepared for the proposed Project and indicated the environmental topics anticipated to be addressed in the EIR. The NOP was sent to the State Clearinghouse (SCH # 2022120783), responsible agencies and interested parties, including the surrounding property owners. A scoping session was held on January 12, 2023, to solicit feedback regarding the scope and content of the EIR.
The Draft EIR (Attachment 12) was made available for public review on January 12, 2024, and was distributed to local and state responsible and trustee agencies. The Notice of Availability (NOA) for the Draft EIR was submitted to the State Clearinghouse, provided to responsible agencies and interested parties, and filed with the Frenso County Clerk. The City collected comments between January 12, 2024, and March 4, 2024, exceeding the mandated 45-day public comment period.
As a result of the publication period, four comment letters were received within the review period.
Letters received are from State and Local agencies including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Department of Transportation, Fresno Irrigation District, and San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The comment letters and responses are provided in the Final 450
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.
EIR provided within Attachment 13 and 15. Correspondence received after the public commenting period is provided in Attachment 15, including a memorandum with response to the environmentally related comments. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15088, this Final EIR responds to the written comments received on the Draft EIR, as required by CEQA.
This Final EIR also contains minor edits to the Draft EIR. This document, together with the Draft EIR, constitutes the Final EIR.
The EIR determined that the following environmental factors would have less than significant environmental impacts with mitigation measures: agricultural resources, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise. Mitigation measures are provided in the MMRP section of the EIR.
The Project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts regarding transportation. The analysis identifies potential conflicts in the levels of service on roadways in conflict with the approved general plan and results in vehicle miles travel (VMT) metrics that are greater than the applicable thresholds despite the application of mitigation measures. The identification of significant and unavoidable impacts does not mean that the Project cannot be approved. The City Council will consider the adoption of a statement of overriding considerations in conjunction with its consideration of the Project. A statement of overriding considerations is a determination that specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, allowing the adverse environmental effects to be considered acceptable.
The City published notice of this public hearing in The Business Journal on Friday, May 10, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The proposal aims to introduce a variety of housing options and a quality living space in the Heritage Grove growth area. The Project will minimally affect sewer, water, and additional public services while ensuring a fair contribution to the infrastructure and open spaces. Furthermore, each application included with the Project complies with the necessary criteria for consideration in the decision-making process as outlined in the report. Consequently, staff recommends that the City Council approve RO305, GPA2021-003, R2021-006, PDP2021-001 and TM6343, subject to the conditions of approval provided in Attachments 4A and 5A.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The annexation application will be prepared and submitted to LAFCo after all materials have been submitted by the applicant, sufficient to meet the conditions for the application.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PROJECT LOCATION
The project site is in an unincorporated area of Fresno County. The project site is within the Sphere of Influence of the City of Clovis, and within the Northwest Urban Center area identified in the City’s General Plan, now referred to as Heritage Grove. The project site is bounded by East Behymer Avenue to the north, by the Enterprise Canal to the west and south, and by rural residential, Fresno Municipal Flood Control District (FMFCD) ponding basin, and Tract Map 6200 to the east.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The following is a list of objectives for the proposed project:
• Provide residential housing opportunities that are visually attractive and accommodate the future housing demand in Clovis.
• Establish a mixture of housing types, sizes and densities that collectively provide for local and regional housing demand.
• Implement the City’s General Plan Land Use Element goal to facilitate annexation of large areas of land.
• Provide infrastructure that meets City standards and is integrated with existing and planned facilities and connections.
• Develop a project that meets City Standards by implementing a logical phasing plan for development of public infrastructure improvements.
PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
The proposed project would consist of the annexation of 246 acres by the City of Clovis, and the development of approximately 590 residential lots, averaging approximately 3,329 square feet within the 71.54-acre project site. The proposed lots would be developed into single-family residences over time. Sixty-six outlot spaces that would potentially be developed into private roads, private parking, pedestrian walkways, landscaping, public utilities, and public park uses would also be included within the project site.
No development is proposed within the remaining 174.46-acre annexation area surrounding the project site. The proposed project would include annexation of the 246-acre area from Fresno County jurisdiction to the City of Clovis. Any future development occurring within the annexation area would require a separate project-specific analysis. The proposed project would be developed in three phases, as described below.
Phase 1 would include the development of approximately 136 single-family residential units with an average size of approximately 1,514 square feet per unit. Phase 1 would be located on the southern 463

Phase 1 would include the construction of approximately 44 parking spaces, an approximately 8,745 square-foot community pool and recreation area, an approximately 13,930- square-foot community park, approximately 0.51 acre of landscaped areas, and drainage and pedestrian infrastructure improvements along Perrin Avenue. The southern extension of North Baron Avenue from East Behymer Avenue and the extension of Perrin and Hammel Avenue within the project site would be constructed during Phase 1.
Phase 2 would include the development of approximately 214 single-family residential units with an average size of approximately 2,168 square feet per unit. Phase 2 would be located on the central portion of the project site and would be accessed through one gated ingress and egress street along the future southern extension of Baron Avenue, and one gated ingress and egress street along Hammel Avenue. Phase 2 would include the construction of an approximately 26-foot-wide drainage channel along Perrin Avenue, approximately 0.35 acre of landscaped areas, as well as storm drainage and pedestrian infrastructure improvements along Perrin Avenue and Hammel Avenue.
Phase 3 of the proposed project would include the development of approximately 240 single-family residential units with an average size of approximately 1,514 square feet per unit. Phase 3 would be located on the northern portion of the project site and would be accessed through two gated ingress and egress streets located along the future southern extension of Baron Avenue, and through one gated egress street access located along the future northern extension of Hammel Avenue. Phase 3 would include the construction of approximately 91 parking spaces, an approximately 9,985-square-foot pool and recreation area, approximately 0.65 acre of landscaped areas, and drainage and pedestrian infrastructure improvements along Baron Avenue.
In addition, development of the project site would include infrastructure improvements for water services along the East Behymer Avenue frontage and Baron Avenue frontage, as well as stormwater management infrastructure improvements along the Perrin Avenue frontage. The proposed project would also construct a two-lane, approximately 49-foot-wide and 2,650-foot-long extension of Baron Avenue south of East Behymer Avenue.
A number of other permits and approvals are also contemplated as part of the project, as further described in Section 3.0 of the EIR, which is incorporated by reference. 464

PROCEDURAL FINDINGS
On December 19, 2022, the City circulated an NOP notifying responsible agencies and interested parties that an EIR would be prepared for the proposed project and indicated the environmental topics anticipated to be addressed in the EIR. The NOP was sent to the State Clearinghouse, responsible agencies, interested parties, and organizations likely to be interested in the potential impacts of the proposed project. A scoping session was held in person on January 13, 2022, to solicit feedback regarding the scope and content of the EIR. Comments received by the City on the NOP were considered during preparation of the Draft EIR.
The Draft EIR was made available for public review on January 12, 2024, and was distributed to local and State responsible and trustee agencies. The NOA for the Draft EIR was submitted to the State Clearinghouse, provided to all individuals and organizations who made a written request for notice, and filed with the Fresno County Clerk.
The CEQA-mandated public comment period ended on March 4, 2024. The City accepted and responded to all comments received during the 53-day public comment period for the Draft EIR, between January 12, 2024, and March 4, 2024.
Following public review of the Draft EIR, a Final EIR was prepared. The Final EIR was made available in March 2024 and consists of the following items:
• The Dra� EIR released on January 12, 2024.
• Responses to Comments; and
• Text revisions to the Dra� EIR.
As required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15088(b), public agencies that commented on the Public Review Draft EIR were provided at least 10 days to review the proposed responses contained in the Final EIR prior to the date for consideration of the Final EIR for certification. 465

FINDINGS REQUIRED UNDER CEQA
The Draft EIR identified a number of less than significant impacts associated with the project that do not require mitigation. The Draft EIR also identified a number of significant and potentially significant environmental effects (or impacts) that may be caused in whole or in part by the project.
Some of these significant effects can be fully avoided or substantially lessened through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures. Other effects cannot be, and thus may be significant and unavoidable. For reasons set forth in Section 7, “Statement of Overriding Considerations,” however, the City has determined that overriding economic, social, and other considerations outweigh the significant, unavoidable effects of the project.
The findings of the City with respect to the project’s significant effects and mitigation measures are set forth in the EIR and these Findings of Fact. The Summary of Findings does not attempt to replicate or restate the full analysis of each environmental impact contained in the EIR. Please refer to the Draft EIR and Final EIR for more detail.
The following provides a summary description of each potentially significant impact, describes the applicable mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR and adopted by the City, and states the findings of the City regarding the significance of each impact after imposition of the adopted mitigation measures. A full explanation of these environmental findings and conclusions can be found in the Draft EIR and Final EIR and associated record (described herein), both of which are incorporated by reference. The City hereby ratifies, adopts, and incorporates the analysis and explanation in the record into these Findings, and ratifies, adopts, and incorporates into these Findings the determinations and conclusions of the EIR relating to environmental impacts and mitigation measures, except to the extent any such determinations and conclusions are specifically and expressly modified by these Findings.
To the extent any of the mitigation measures are within the jurisdiction of other agencies, the City finds those agencies can and should implement those measures within their jurisdiction and control (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15091[a][2]).
AESTHETICS
Environmental Effects of the Project Found to Have No Impact on the Environment or to Have a Less Than Significant Impact on the Environment
• The proposed project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. • The proposed project would not substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State scenic highway. • The proposed project would not substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings (public views are those that are experienced from a publicly accessible vantage point). Due to the location of the project in an urbanized area, the project would not conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality. 469

Environmental Effects of the Project That Are Potentially Significant, but That Can Be Mitigated to a Less Than Significant Level
• None.
Environmental Effects of the Project That Cannot Be Mitigated to a Level Less Than Significant • None.
AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
Environmental Effects of the Project Found to Have No Impact on the Environment or Have a Less Than Significant Impact on the Environment
• Impact AG-1: The project would not 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. • Impact AG-3: The project would not involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use.
• The project would not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in PRC Section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by PRC Section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section.51104(g)). • The project would not result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use.
Environmental Effects of the Project That Are Potentially Significant, but That Can Be Mitigated to a Less Than Significant Level
• Impact AG-2: The project would conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract.
Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (14 CCR § 15091(a)(1)).
Rationale for the Finding: The proposed project site is in APN 556-030-014S, which is currently under a Williamson Act contract. As APN 556-030-014S is identified for development pursuant to the General Plan, a Williamson Act cancellation process for the parcel would take place prior to issuance of building permits for the proposed project. Implementation of Mitigation Measure AG-2 would ensure compliance with the required procedure for cancellation of the Williamson Act contract at APN 556-030-014S. With implementation of Mitigation Measure AG-2, by the time project development begins at the project site, there would be no parcels within the project site 470

P:\CIT2201-TM 6343\PRODUCTS\Findings\TM_6343_Findings.docx (04/04/24) 11 under a Williamson Act contract. Therefore, with Mitigation Measure AG-2, the proposed project would not conflict with zoning for agriculture or a Williamson Act contract, and the impact would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measure AG-2 Prior to issuance of building permits, the Project Applicant shall petition the County of Fresno Board of Supervisors for
cancellation of the Williamson Act contract at APN 556-030- 014S. The Project Applicant would have to make the required statutory findings a set forth under Government Code Section 51282(a) to cancel the Williamson Act contract. If the County determines the required findings are met, the Project Applicant would be required to pay a cancellation fee equal to 12.5 percent of the unrestricted market value of the parcels to the County of Fresno as set forth under Government Code Section 51283(b). After approval of the cancellation petition by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors, the Williamson Act
contract would then be cancelled on APN 556-030-014S, and the Project Applicant would be able to develop uses that comply with the zoning designation of the parcel per the City of Clovis Zoning Code without the proposed development being inconsistent with a Williamson Act contract.
• Impact AG-4: The proposed project, in combination with past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects, would contribute to a significant cumulative impact with respect to agricultural resources.
Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (14 CCR § 15091(a)(1)).
Rationale for the Finding: The project would implement Mitigation Measure AG-2 to reduce impacts related to conflicts with a Williamson Act contract to less than significant levels, as described above.
Additionally, although the proposed project would result in the conversion of agricultural uses to nonagricultural uses through development of the project site, the City of Clovis General Plan EIR previously identified that conversion of farmland resulting from development of the General Plan would result in significant and unavoidable impacts. As such, the project would not result in new significant impacts that would contribute to cumulative impacts to agricultural resources. Further, the project site does not include any forestlands or timberland, so implementation of the proposed project would not contribute to cumulative impacts to forestry resources. Thus, the project would not contribute to any significant cumulative impacts to agricultural and forestry resources, and cumulative impacts to these resources would be less than significant.
Environmental Effects of the Project That Cannot Be Mitigated to a Level Less Than Significant • None.

AIR QUALITY
Environmental Effects of the Project Found to Have No Impact on the Environment or Have a Less Than Significant Impact on the Environment
• Impact AIR-1: The project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan.
• Impact AIR-2: Implementation of the proposed project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard. • Impact AIR-3: Implementation of the proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.
• Impact AIR-4: The project would not result in significant odors that could adversely affect a substantial number of people.
• Impact AIR-5: The proposed project, in combination with past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects, would not contribute to a significant cumulative impact with respect to air quality.

Environmental Effects of the Project That Are Potentially Significant, but That Can Be Mitigated to a Less Than Significant Level
• The project would have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (14 CCR § 15091(a)(1)).
Rationale for the Finding: The project site contains suitable nesting habitat for a variety of birds.
Nearly all native birds are protected by the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the California Migratory Bird Protection Act, and the California Fish and Game Code. Construction activities that occur during the nesting bird season (typically February 1 through September 30) have potential to result in the mortality/disturbance of nesting birds.
Conducting pre-construction surveys and establishing buffers would prevent or compensate for impacts on special-status bird species. Therefore, implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1, which would require conducting pre-construction surveys, and establishing buffers if nesting birds are found during the surveys, would effectively mitigate any impacts to nesting birds to less than significant levels.
In addition, eight existing trees in the project site have the potential to be used as nesting habitat for Swainson’s hawk, a state-protected species. Construction activities that occur near the trees onsite, or that directly affect potential nesting habitat could result in “take” of Swainson’s hawk.
Conducting pre-construction surveys, establishing buffers, and having a qualified biologist monitoring any existing nests, as applicable, would prevent or compensate for impacts on Swainson’s hawk. Therefore, implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-2, which would require conducting pre-construction surveys, establishing buffers and monitoring, as applicable, would effectively mitigate any impacts to Swainson’s hawk to less than significant levels.
Further, old pipelines present near the existing residence on the project site and along the Enterprise Canal have the potential to be used as nesting habitat by the burrowing owl, a stateprotected species. Construction activities that occur near, or that directly affect, potential nesting habitat could result in “take” of burrowing owl. Conducting pre-construction surveys, establishing buffers, and passive relocation of burrowing owls under the direction of a qualified biologist, as applicable, would prevent or compensate for impacts on burrowing owl. Therefore, implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-3 and Mitigation Measure BIO-4, which would require conducting pre473 AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.

14 P:\CIT2201-TM 6343\PRODUCTS\Findings\TM_6343_Findings.docx (04/04/24) construction surveys, establishing buffers and passive relocation, as applicable, would effectively mitigate any impacts to burrowing owls to less than significant levels.
No other special-status species were determined to have a moderate or high probability of occurrence on the project site. As such, Mitigation Measures BIO-1 through BIO-4 would reduce potential impacts to special-status species to less than significant levels.
Mitigation Measure BIO-1 Nesting Bird Surveys and Active Nest Avoidance. Any initial ground disturbance or tree pruning, or removal should take place outside of the active nesting bird season (i.e., February 1– September 30), when feasible, to avoid impacts to nesting birds protected under the California Fish and Game Code and
Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Should phased construction require tree removal or initial ground disturbance to ruderal areas, a qualified biologist shall conduct a nesting bird survey no more than 10 days prior to each phase of clearing activities. If nesting birds are discovered during preconstruction surveys, the biologist shall identify an appropriate buffer where no clearing, grading, or construction activities with potential to have direct or indirect impacts on the nesting bird(s) are allowed to take place until after the nest is no longer active (e.g., the young birds have fledged), or as otherwise determined by the qualified biologist.
Mitigation Measure BIO‐2 Conduct Surveys for Swainson’s Hawk Nests and Implement Avoidance and Minimization Measures. The qualified biologist will conduct surveys for Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni) during the nesting season (February 1 to August 31) along the existing trees within the project site. No sooner than 30 days prior to any ground disturbing activity, the qualified biologist will conduct preconstruction surveys of nests identified during the earlier surveys to determine if any are occupied. The initial nesting season surveys and subsequent preconstruction nest surveys will follow the protocols set out in the Recommended Timing and Methodology for Swainson’s Hawk Nesting Surveys in California’s Central Valley (Swainson’s Hawk Technical Advisory Committee [SHTAC] 2000) or guidance current at the time of project implementation. Available database records will be used to support the survey.
Any active Swainson’s hawk nests (defined as a nest used one or more times in the last 5 years) found within the existing trees on site during the nesting season will be monitored daily by the qualified biologist to assess whether the nest is occupied. If the nest is occupied, the qualified biologist will establish no-work buffers following California Department of Fish and Game’s 474

Adjustments to the buffer(s) may be made in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
If an occupied Swainson’s hawk nest site is to be removed, an incidental take permit under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) will be obtained, and impacts will be minimized through permitting with the CDFW and fully mitigated.
Mitigation Measure BIO-3 Conduct Pre-construction Clearance Surveys for Burrowing Owl. A pre-construction clearance survey will be conducted in the vicinity of the existing residence on site, as well as within the disturbed annual grassland and embankments of the
Enterprise No. 109 Canal by a qualified biologist for burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) no more than 30 calendar days prior to initiation of ground disturbance activities. All surveys will follow the California Department of Fish and Game 2012 Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation methodology, or guidance current at the time of project implementation, and results shall be delivered to CDFW and the City of Clovis. If the survey results find an active burrow, the Project Applicant must coordinate with the CDFW to obtain applicable agency approval/permit prior to any ground disturbance activities on the site.
Mitigation Measure BIO-4 Passive Relocation Measures for Burrowing Owl. If burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) are detected during the preconstruction surveys, occupied burrows will not be disturbed during the nesting season (February 1 through August 31 for owls and other raptors). The non-disturbance buffer will include a minimum 330-foot (100-meter) buffer zone around any
occupied burrow unless a qualified biologist approved by the CDFW verifies through non-invasive methods that either (1) burrowing owls have not begun egg laying and incubation, or (2) juveniles from the occupied burrows are foraging independently and are capable of independent survival. The sizes of individual buffers may be modified through coordination with the CDFW based on site-specific conditions and existing disturbance levels.
During the non-nesting season or if the qualified biologist determines either (1) or (2) above, the Project Applicant will coordinate with the CDFW to construct artificial burrows and passively relocate the owl(s). Passive relocation is defined as 475

Owls shall be excluded from burrows in the immediate impact zone and within an approximately 160-foot (50-meter) buffer zone by installing one-way doors in burrow entrances. One-way doors shall be left in place for 48 hours to ensure owls have left the burrow before excavation. One alternate natural or artificial burrow shall be provided for each burrow that will be excavated in the project impact zone. The project site shall be monitored daily for 1 week to confirm owl use of alternate burrows before excavating burrows in the immediate impact zone. Whenever possible, burrows shall be excavated using hand tools and refilled to prevent reoccupation. Sections of flexible plastic pipe or burlap bags shall be inserted into the tunnels.

Implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would require consultation with a historical resources specialist to assess whether the discovered resource qualifies as a historical resource and to identify appropriate mitigation measures, if applicable. Therefore, potential impacts related to a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to Section 15064.5 would be less than significant with mitigation.
Mitigation Measure CUL-1 Consultation with Qualified Historical Specialist for Resources Found During Project Construction. If previously unknown resources are encountered before or during grading activities, construction shall stop within 50 feet of the find and a qualified historical resources specialist shall be consulted to determine whether the resource requires further study.
The qualified historical resources specialist shall make recommendations to the City of Clovis on the measures that shall be implemented to protect the discovered resources, including but not limited to excavation of the finds and evaluation of the finds in accordance with Section 15064.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
If the resources are determined to be unique archeological resources as defined under Section 15064.5(c)(1) of the State CEQA Guidelines, measures shall be identified by a qualified archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s
Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeology and recommended to the Lead Agency. Appropriate measures for significant resources could include avoidance or capping, incorporation of green space, parks, or open space in
undeveloped areas of the project site, or data recovery excavations of the finds.
No further grading shall occur in the area of the discovery until the Lead Agency approves the protection measures. Any
historical artifacts recovered as a result of mitigation shall be provided to a City of Clovis-approved institution or person who is capable of providing long-term preservation to allow future scientific study.

18 P:\CIT2201-TM 6343\PRODUCTS\Findings\TM_6343_Findings.docx (04/04/24) Rationale for the Finding: No archaeological resources were identified in the project site. However, there is a potential for unknown archaeological resources to be discovered during construction of the proposed project. Mitigation Measure CUL-1 requires that if unknown archaeological resources are discovered during construction, work in the area would halt and a qualified archaeologist would be contacted and consulted regarding how to appropriately address the situation. This would minimize or eliminate any potential for an adverse change to the significance of any discovered archaeological resources. Therefore, adherence to the requirements of Mitigation Measure CUL-1, described above, would reduce potential impacts from a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5 to less than significant with mitigation.
• The project would disturb human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries.
Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (14 CCR § 15091(a)(1)).
Rationale for the Finding: Disturbance of human remains interred outside of formal cemeteries would result in a significant impact. If human remains are identified during project construction, Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code and PRC Section 5097.98 shall apply, as appropriate. Mitigation Measure CUL-2 requires adherence to Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code and PRC Section 5097.98. With implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL2, potential impacts related to disturbance of any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries, would be less than significant with mitigation.
Mitigation Measure CUL-2 In the event that human remains are unearthed during excavation and grading activities of any future development project, all activity shall cease immediately. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 5097.98(a). If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the coroner shall within 24 hours notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC shall then contact the most likely descendant of the deceased Native American, who shall then serve as the
consultant on how to proceed with the remains.
Pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98(b), upon the discovery of Native American remains, the Project Applicant shall ensure that the immediate vicinity, according to generally accepted cultural or archaeological standards or practices, where the Native American human remains are located is not damaged or disturbed by further development activity until the Project Applicant has discussed and conferred with the most likely descendants regarding their recommendations, if applicable, taking into account the possibility of multiple human remains. 478

• The project would result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in PRC Section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe.
Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (14 CCR § 15091(a)(1)).
Rationale for the Finding: While there is no evidence to suggest the presence of tribal cultural resources, if any artifacts are inadvertently discovered during ground-disturbing activities, existing federal, State, and local laws and regulations would require construction activities to cease until such artifacts are properly examined and determined not to be of significance by a qualified cultural resource professional. In addition, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 requires that if unknown archaeological resources are discovered during construction, work in the area would halt and a qualified archaeologist would be contacted. Further, Mitigation Measure CUL-2 would require compliance with applicable federal, State, and local laws and regulations if human remains of tribal origin are found during construction of the proposed project. Therefore, adherence to the requirements of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 would reduce potential impacts related to the substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource to less than significant.

Environmental Effects of the Project That Are Potentially Significant, but That Can Be Mitigated to a Less Than Significant Level
• Impact GHG-1: The project would generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment.
Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (14 CCR § 15091(a)(1)).
Rationale for the Finding: As neither the City nor the SJVAPCD has developed or adopted numeric GHG significance thresholds, the significance of GHG emissions from the project was analyzed based on the project’s consistency with the 2022 Scoping Plan.
The 2022 Scoping Plan includes key project attributes that reduce operational GHG emissions in Appendix D, Local Actions1

22 P:\CIT2201-TM 6343\PRODUCTS\Findings\TM_6343_Findings.docx (04/04/24) as a CEQA-qualified Climate Action Plan (CAP), the first approach the State recommends for determining whether a proposed residential or mixed-use residential development would align with the State’s climate goals is to examine whether the project includes key project attributes that reduce operational GHG emissions while simultaneously advancing fair housing.
The 2022 Scoping Plan recommends that a residen�al or mixed-use project provide EV charging infrastructure that, at minimum, meets the most ambi�ous voluntary standard in the California Green Building Standards Code at the �me of project approval. Implementa�on of Mi�ga�on Measure GHG-1 would be required to ensure the proposed project would provide electric vehicle charging. With implementa�on of Mi�ga�on Measure GHG-1, the proposed project would be consistent with this key project atribute.
Further, the project is generally consistent with all the other key atributes and recommenda�ons from the 2022 Scoping Plan, including development in an infill site, as the project site is located in area that has been marked for development of mixed uses, is presently served by exis�ng u�li�es and essen�al public services (e.g., transit, streets, water, sewer), and will implement design features that would reduce project VMT. Addi�onally, the project would result in a less-than-significant impact related to the conversion of farmland; would be consistent with the transit density criteria recommended in the Scoping Plan; would meet parking reduc�on requirements of the Scoping Plan; would advance State housing goals by increasing housing opportuni�es in the San Joaquin Valley; and would be all-electric and would not include natural gas, as recommended in the Scoping Plan.
With implementa�on of Mi�ga�on Measure GHG-1, the proposed project would be consistent with the 2022 Scoping Plan key residen�al and mixed-use project atributes related to EV charging requirements, and the proposed project would result in less-than-significant impacts related to greenhouse gas emissions.
Mitigation Measure GHG-1 In order to meet the 2022 Scoping Plan greenhouse gas (GHG) requirements, consistent with State GHG reduction and equity prioritization goals, each residential unit shall provide electric vehicle charging capabilities as part of the final project designs. • Impact GHG-2: The project would conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases.
Rationale for the Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (14 CCR § 15091(a)(1)).
The project was analyzed for consistency with State GHG reduction goals, namely goals of the 2022 Scoping Plan. The 2022 Scoping Plan focuses on building clean energy production and distribution infrastructure for a carbon-neutral future, including transitioning existing energy production and transmission infrastructure to produce zero-carbon electricity and hydrogen, and utilizing biogas resulting from wildfire management or landfill and dairy operations, among other substitutes. As described above under Impact GHG-1, with implementation of Mitigation Measure GHG-1, the project would be consistent with all key attributes and goals of the 2022 Scoping Plan. Therefore, 482

Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (14 CCR § 15091(a)(1)).
Rationale for the Finding: As presented above, the proposed project was analyzed for consistency with State GHG reduction goals in the 2022 Scoping Plan to assess significance of project GHG emissions. Based on the analysis presented above, the proposed project would be consistent with the 2022 Scoping Plan key residential and mixed-use project attributes related to building electrification with implementation of Mitigation Measure GHG-1, the EV charging requirements.
Therefore, the proposed project would have a less than significant impact. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in a cumulatively considerable impact on climate change.

• Impact NOI-1: The proposed project would generate a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or in other applicable local, State, or federal standards.
Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (14 CCR § 15091(a)(1)).
Project construction would result in short-term noise impacts on the nearby sensitive receptors. The closest sensitive receptors to the project site include single-family residential uses located approximately 55 feet east of the project site along Behymer Avenue, approximately 230 feet west of the project site, and approximately 530 southeast of the project site along Baron Avenue. An evaluation of construction noise levels at nearby sensitive receptors determined that the closest sensitive receptor may be subject to short-term maximum construction noise reaching 86 dBA Lmax during project construction. Consistent with the City’s Municipal Code Section 5.27.604, construction noises are permitted between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. From June 1st through September 15th, permitted construction activity may commence after 6:00 a.m. Monday through Friday. While construction noise impacts are exempt from specific noise levels limits under the City’s Municipal Code, project construction noise would result in a potentially significant impact at the nearest off-site sensitive residential use. As such, Mitigation Measure NOI-1.1 would be required to ensure that all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, is equipped with properly operating and maintained mufflers consistent with manufacturers’ standards, which would reduce the potential impacts associated with construction equipment. Additionally, Mitigation Measure NOI-1.1 requires the project to designate a “disturbance coordinator” at the City who would be responsible for responding to any local complaints about construction noise. With implementation of Mitigation Measure NOI-1.1, the proposed project would result in a less than significant impact associated with the generation of a substantial temporary increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity during construction.
Noise-generating uses associated with development of the proposed project would typically include vehicle traffic and operational noise, such as HVAC and pool pump equipment. Although noise level associated with off-site traffic from the project is not expected to exceed the significance threshold for perceptible noise-level increases of 3 dBA or more, and noise levels from stationary sources like HVAC equipment noise or pool pumps are not expected to exceed the City’s maximum exterior noise level standards for residential uses of 50 dBA Leq during nighttime hours and 55 dBA Leq during daytime hours, as measured at the nearest receiving sensitive land use, noise associated with onsite project traffic would require implementation of noise insulation features in project design to fulfill the City’s normally acceptable interior noise level criterion. Implementation of an HVAC system would allow windows to remain closed in order to reduce interior noise levels by 25 dBA, resulting in interior noise levels of 42 dBA CNEL, which would meet the City’s interior noise standard of 45 dBA CNEL. Mitigation Measure NOI-1.2 below would include modifications to ensure that buildings would comply with the City’s noise and land use compatibility standards and reduce interior noise impacts. Therefore, with implementation of Mitigation Measures NOI-1.1 and NOI486 AGENDA ITEM NO. 13.

1.2, construction and operational noise impacts associated with the proposed project would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measure NOI-1.1 The project contractor shall implement the following measures during construction of the proposed project:
• Equip all construc�on equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly opera�ng and maintained mufflers consistent
with manufacturers’ standards.
• Place all sta�onary construc�on equipment so that
emited noise is directed away from sensi�ve receptors
nearest the ac�ve project site.
• Locate equipment staging in areas that would create the greatest possible distance between construc�on-related
noise sources and noise-sensi�ve receptors nearest the
ac�ve project site during all construc�on ac�vi�es.
• Ensure that all general construc�on related ac�vi�es are restricted to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00
p.m., Monday through Friday and between 9:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. From June 1st
through September 15th, permited construc�on
ac�vity may commence a�er 6:00 a.m. Monday through
Friday, consistent with the City’s Noise Ordinance.
• Designate a “disturbance coordinator” at the City who would be responsible for responding to any local
complaints about construc�on noise. The disturbance
coordinator would determine the cause of the noise
complaint (e.g., star�ng too early, bad muffler) and
would determine and implement reasonable measures
warranted to correct the problem.
Mitigation Measure NOI-1.2 The project contractor shall implement the following measures during construction of the proposed project:
• In order for windows and doors to remain closed,
mechanical ven�la�on such as air condi�oning shall be
provided for all units.
• All windows and glass doors shall be rated STC 26 or
higher such that the noise reduc�on provided will

Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (14 CCR § 15091(a)(1)).
As discussed above, the project would require implementation of noise reduction requirements and noise insulation features in project design to fulfill the City’s normally acceptable interior noise level criterion. With implementation of Mitigation Measure NOI-1.2, interior noise levels would be reduced to 45 dBA or less and would be acceptable under the City’s land use compatibility standards. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant with mitigation, and the project would not contribute to a cumulatively considerable significant noise impact.
Additionally, while construction noise impacts are exempt from specific noise levels limits under the City’s Municipal Code, project construction noise would result in a potentially significant impact at the nearest off-site sensitive residential use. With implementation of Mitigation Measure NOI-1.1, which would require that construction equipment is properly equipped with mufflers consistent with manufacturers’ standards, staged at the greatest distance possible from sensitive receptors, and would require the project to designate a “disturbance coordinator” at the City who would be responsible for responding to any local complaints about construction noise, the proposed project would not result in adverse noise impacts from construction activities. Although the proposed project may be under construction at the same time as one or more cumulative development projects, each project would be required to implement similar measures as those identified in Mitigation Measure NOI-1.1 to ensure that construction noise levels are reduced to the extent feasible and to ensure that construction activities comply with the City’s Noise Ordinance. In addition, construction-related noise impacts would be temporary and would no longer occur once construction of each project is completed. Therefore, construction activities would not be considered a cumulatively considerable contribution to the total noise environment in the project site vicinity, and this impact would be less than significant.

TRANSPORTATION
Environmental Effects of the Project Found to Have No Impact on the Environment or Have a Less Than Significant Impact on the Environment
• Impact TRA-3: The project would not substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment).
• Impact TRA-4: The project would not result in inadequate emergency access.
Environmental Effects of the Project That Are Potentially Significant, but That Can Be Mitigated to a Less Than Significant Level
• None.
Environmental Effects of the Project That Cannot Be Mitigated to a Level Less Than Significant • Impact TRA-1: The project would conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities.
Finding: No feasible mitigation measures are available to mitigate the impact to a less than significant level. Therefore, impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
The proposed project would construct bicycle and pedestrian facilities in compliance with City design requirements and with multi-modal transportation goals of the City’s Active Transportation Plan or the General Plan. Additionally, the project would result in no conflict with current and planned transit facilities and routes in the City. As such, potential impacts to transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities would be less than significant.
The Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared for the proposed project (included as Appendix G of the Draft EIR) conducted an LOS study to identify existing, near‐term, and cumulative plus project and without project traffic volumes at study roadway segments and study intersections to identify if any LOS deficiencies would occur under the different scenarios analyzed. The TIA identified that LOS deficiencies would occur at four study intersections under an existing plus project scenario, nine intersections would experience LOS deficiencies under the near-term (2026) plus project scenario, and fourteen intersections would experience LOS deficiencies under the cumulative (2046) plus project scenario. Tables 9‐B through 9-D of the TIA illustrate the post‐improvement intersection levels of service for the different scenarios. As shown in these tables, implementation of recommended improvements would improve operations at all study intersections to operate at satisfactory LOS levels. As shown in Table 9-H of the TIA, the project would pay into the Clovis Development Impact Fee (Clovis DIF) Program and the Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee (RTMF) as applicable to fund recommended improvements. Therefore, the intersections are forecast 490

P:\CIT2201-TM 6343\PRODUCTS\Findings\TM_6343_Findings.docx (04/04/24) 31 to operate at a satisfactory LOS with the implementation of the recommended improvements and impacts to the study intersections’ LOS would be less than significant.
The TIA also identified that three roadway segments are forecast to operate at an unsatisfactory LOS under the near-term (2026) plus project scenario, and eight roadway segments are forecast to operate at an unsatisfactory LOS under the cumulative (2046) plus project scenario. All local City of Clovis study roadways segments would be able to implement improvements via payment to the Clovis DIF Program to improve operations and operate at satisfactory LOS levels.
However, the diverge segment at the SR‐168 westbound Herndon Avenue Off‐Ramp, under Caltrans jurisdiction, is forecast to operate at an unsatisfactory condition (LOS F) during PM peak hours under existing, near‐term (2026) and cumulative (2046) conditions. As such, improvements would be required at this off‐ramp location to improve traffic operations on the freeway mainline. The project would be subject to payment of to the RTMF Program for its fair share contribution to regional improvements. The RTMF is intended to ensure that future development contribute its fair share towards the costs of infrastructure to mitigate the cumulative indirect regional transportation impacts of new growth in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Mitigation Fee Act.
However, since the project has no direct control of implementing improvements at a Caltrans facility, and implementation of recommended improvements would be subject to Caltrans implementation schedule, which is unknown at this time, the LOS deficiency at this location would remain significant and unavoidable.
• Impact TRA-2: The proposed project would conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, Subdivision (b).
Finding: No feasible mitigation measures are available to mitigate the impact to a less than significant level. Therefore, impact is considered significant and unavoidable.
The TIA for the proposed project includes a detailed VMT analysis that follows VMT analysis methodology of the City’s TIA Guidelines. As recommended in the TIA Guidelines, the VMT analysis for the project was conducted using the Fresno COG Activity Based Model (ABM). The model database was updated with the project land use to calculate project VMT. The project would have a significant VMT impact if the baseline project VMT per capita is greater than 87 percent of the baseline Fresno County VMT per capita. Based on the TIA Guidelines, baseline Fresno County VMT per capita is 16.1 and the corresponding threshold is 14.1 (which is 87 percent of 16.1). Therefore, the project would have a significant VMT impact if the project VMT per capita is greater than 14.1.
