The parties expressly waive and release all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and do so understanding and acknowledging the significance and consequence of such specific waiver of Section 1542. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code states as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
The Parties expressly waive the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, and further expressly waive any right to invoke said provisions with respect to claims existing now or any time up to the date of the Parties' execution of this Agreement Therefore, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties expressly acknowledge that this release is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims and causes of action which they do not know or suspect to exist in their favor and that this release contemplates the extinguishment of all such claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with the Action_ In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, the Parties acknowledge that they are aware that they, or their attorney(s), agent(s), or successor(s), may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which they now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of, or any Party named in, this Agreement, but that it is their intention hereby fully, finally, and forever to settle and release all of the released matters. In furtherance of such 12
intention, each of the releases herein given shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete release notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claims or facts.
6. All Obligations Extinguished by Release. It is expressly understood and agreed that, except as to matters with respect to which the Court will retain jurisdiction pending complete performance (Sections 8 and 9), this Agreement is in full accord, satisfaction, discharge, and compromise of disputed claims up to the date of the Parties' execution of this Agreement, and that this Agreement has been executed with the express intention of effectuating the legal consequences provided for in Section 1541 of the California Civil Code, i.e., the extinguishing of all obligations as herein described. Section 1541 states as follows:
Obligation Extinguished by Release. An obligation is
extinguished by a release therefrom given to the debtor by the creditor, upon a new consideration, or in writing, with or without new consideration.
7. No Admission of Liability. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement effects the settlement of claims and potential claims that are contested, disputed, and denied and does not constitute an admission of liability by any Party for any purpose. Moreover, nothing contained in this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of any sums provided for in this Agreement shall be offered, admitted or construed as an admission by any Party of any liability or the amount of any liability to any other Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an admission of any liability or wrongdoing of any kind with respect to any matters alleged in or related to the Action. Martinez hereby agrees that the execution, and performance, of this Agreement resolve any and all of her claims related to, or arising from, the City's 2015 Housing Element and the Action, and satisfy all of the City's obligations under the Court's Order issued on April 30, 2021, and the Judgment issued on June 1, 2021.
8. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. Martinez is the prevailing party in the Action, and is entitled to her reasonable attorneys' fees.

Any such motion for an award of attorneys' fees and costs must be filed and served on the City's counsel no later than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the Notice of Entry of the Stipulated Judgment is served on all parties, unless such time is further extended by a stipulation approved by the Court, or by a court order; the prevailing party on any attorneys' fees motion will be entitled to costs and attorneys' fees incurred in bringing and litigating the motion. The Court of Appeal awarded costs on appeal and City will pay the amount of costs requested in Martinez's Memorandum of Costs on Appeal filed and served on August 24, 2023. Payment shall be made to Central California Legal Services at the same time City remits payment of the agreed upon or court-ordered attorneys' fees.

This letter confirms that at the April 6, 2026, Fresno County Airport Land Use Commission meeting, the Commission approved a Finding of Consistency for the City of Clovis Infill Rezone Program with the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP).
The project site is located within Zone 6, Traffic Pattern Zone (TPZ), of Fresno Yosemite International Airport. Within this zone, residential uses are permitted, provided development complies with applicable ALUCP safety, height, and airspace protection criteria.
Future development proposals for the approved sites are subject to review by the Fresno County Airport Land Use Commission prior to construction.
While no physical development is proposed at this time, future development within the Airport Influence Area will be subject to the following applicable standards and requirements:
Development Considerations:
• Development must comply with all applicable ALUCP safety, height, and airspace protection standards, including the requirement for an Airport Disclosure Notice • Structures exceeding 100 feet in height will require additional airspace review and FAA notification
• New structures are prohibited on terrain that penetrates 14 CFR Part 77 surfaces and may require additional airspace analysis within the 50-foot terrain penetration buffer • Final development plans shall be subject to review by the Fresno County Airport Land Use Commission prior to construction
Prohibited Uses:
• Uses that would introduce hazards to flight, including physical, visual, or electronic interference with aircraft operations
• Outdoor stadiums and other high-intensity uses
• Land uses that may attract hazardous wildlife, such as certain agricultural uses identified in FAA guidance
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

textarea-1755209560293 = Dear McKenzie Perez, MPA,
I am submitting this comment to formally and strongly oppose the inclusion of Site 589 in the Infill Rezone Program. I live directly adjacent to this parcel, and I want to express in the clearest possible terms that I do not support any level of development on Site 589 — not three stories, not two stories, not one story, and not any multi-family structure of any height or density.
Site 589 should be entirely removed from the list of identified rezone parcels.
My opposition is based on several significant and unavoidable impacts:
1. Site 589 is completely incompatible with the surrounding established neighborhood.
This is a long-standing, stable, single-family residential area with no apartments or multi-family units anywhere nearby.
Introducing a multi-family complex—of any height—is fundamentally inconsistent with the existing zoning pattern and would permanently disrupt the neighborhood’s established identity, stability, and cohesion.
2. Any structure on Site 589 would create severe privacy violations.
Because the parcel sits directly behind our homes, any development would place dozens of windows, balconies, and pedestrian areas overlooking private backyards, bedrooms, and family spaces.
This is not a situation where minor mitigations are possible — the location makes privacy impacts impossible to avoid or lessen, regardless of the building height.
3. The location of Site 589 poses serious traffic, congestion, and safety concerns.
Our local streets were not designed for increased vehicle load or multi-family traffic. A development here would increase:
street parking overflow,
traffic near children walking and biking,
noise disturbances,
2 emergency access strain, and
overall congestion through narrow neighborhood streets.
This creates significant safety risks for families who rely on low-traffic residential roadways.
4. Schools and infrastructure cannot absorb additional density here.
Clovis Unified schools in this area are already heavily impacted. Additional units—whether high density or “moderate”—would strain classrooms, traffic flow, utilities, park space, and emergency services.
There is no viable way to mitigate these impacts at this location.
5. High-density redevelopment of Site 589 is unnecessary given better alternatives.
There are multiple parcels in Clovis already positioned for multi-family development—near commercial corridors, major arterials, and existing apartment zones.
Site 589 is surrounded on all sides by single-family homes and is one of the least appropriate locations in the city for multi-family rezoning.
Removing Site 589 will not prevent the City from meeting its state housing requirements.
6. Property values would be negatively impacted.
The placement of apartments immediately behind existing homes would devalue surrounding properties and undermine long-term investments made by families who purchased here under the expectation of consistent land use.
7. This parcel provides natural buffering and neighborhood continuity.
Currently, Site 589 acts as an important open-space buffer between properties. Developing it would permanently remove this buffer, crowd existing housing, reduce open sightlines, and diminish environmental quality (airflow, noise, light, and nighttime safety).
My Official Request
I respectfully but firmly request that the City:
REMOVE Site 589 entirely from the proposed rezoning list.
Not downsize it.
Not lower the building height.
Not redesign the proposal.
Remove it completely from consideration.
This parcel is simply not suitable—logistically, environmentally, or structurally—for any multi-family residential development.
3 Thank you for reviewing my comments and considering the very serious impacts this proposal would have on residents directly adjacent to Site 589.
Respectfully,
Joe Guerrero

Subject: Infill Rezone Program: Question
I recently received a notice regarding the above-referenced program. I reside at 3943 Keats Ave, which is adjacent to parcels 115 and 590 that are proposed for rezoning from R1 to R3.
I would like to inquire whether the City has already determined the type of housing intended for these parcels if the rezoning is approved. For example, are these parcels being considered for Section 8 or other affordable housing developments? Alternatively, is the plan to construct condominiums, townhomes, or similar residential units?
My understanding is that R1 zoning allows for approximately 10 units per acre, whereas R3 allows for approximately 20 units per acre. While the rezoning itself is not my primary concern, I am seeking clarification regarding whether the nearby parcels may be designated for low-income housing, as such a designation could potentially affect property values within the surrounding area.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this inquiry.

Hello,
I am unable to make the December 2 public meeting and want to provide comment.
I support the City of Clovis' efforts to create opportunities for affordable housing. I understand that some parcels will need to be re-zoned, and I agree with the re-zoning in order to provide parcels that will accommodate multi-family, affordable housing. I am happy that Clovis has been put in the position of providing opportunity for affordable housing for those of us who can't afford the expensive costs associated with renting or owning a home in Clovis, and look forward to my neighborhood welcoming more residents.
Please continue to keep Clovis residents informed.
Sincerely,
Nadine Pourier Blumenshine

My concern is the impact to the schools, Jefferson, Clark, and Clovis High. My next concern is green space for families who live in this kind of housing. My other concern is increased traffic onto Laverne cul de sac. Increased traffic on Shaw. Since over build out at Loma Vista and Clovis East area Shaw is very congested and hard to merge either direction. I think this area needs to have 8am-5pm offices built. Housing with such huge population in such a small space will drastically impact the Clovis way of life. I plan to be a voice at all future meetings regarding this proposal.
I was the main concerned neighbor who contacted Planning dept when the builder and land owner tried to have a meeting at Jefferson to pitch their proposal to the neighbors in 2019? My hope is that you survey the roads, schools, and impact to Clovis way of Life before making a decision. The final frustration is also crime and my property values lowering because of such an impactful proposal.

Good morning,
Your comments have been received and will be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council.
There is no development proposed as part of this project; therefore, pricing is not available. For this project, the density is considered for affordability. If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.

Subject: Clovis Rezoning program
Hello McKencie,
My name is Jennie Daly and I am a resident of Harlan Ranch, I saw the notice of the infill rezone program regarding “high and/or very high density” affordable housing. I along with my neighbors are curious as to what exactly that means. Does this mean apartments? Does this mean section 8? Being that we are home owners in one of the highly esteemed and well kept neighborhoods in Clovis, we would hope that the City of Clovis would try to maintain the value of our community and make sure that any rezoning project would take that into account. Furthermore, how would this affect the population capacity of Bud Rank Elementary? Also, although inclusion is always welcome, we hope that this change in affordability does not allow people (that may potentially have different standards) to create unwanted behavior in the neighborhood.
I look forward to your response.
Thank you for your time,
Jennie Daly

textarea-1755209560293 = To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my firm and uncompromising opposition to the proposed rezoning of the remaining vacant parcels in our neighborhood to high-density apartment housing (sites 157/197 Harlan Ranch). This proposal represents a complete reversal of the development vision that was presented when this community was established, and it threatens to dismantle the safety, stability, and quality of life that residents have spent decades building and protecting.
When this neighborhood was developed, the vacant parcels were clearly promoted as future commercial sites intended for community-enhancing businesses such as cafés, restaurants, and small local shops.
These assurances were not a minor detail—they were a central selling point and a key factor in the decision many of us made to invest our savings and our families’ futures into this community. Any move to disregard those long-standing representations is not just disappointing—it is a profound breach of trust.
The consequences of forcing high-density housing into an area never designed for it are serious, predictable, and unacceptable:
• Public safety will be compromised. Concentrated population increases without appropriate infrastructure strain emergency services, heighten disturbances, and threaten the low-crime environment residents have worked hard to maintain.
• Property values will suffer. Homeowners invested under a clearly communicated land-use plan.
Undermining that plan destabilizes financial security, erodes long-term equity, and disregards the commitments made to existing residents.
• Schools will be overloaded. Our elementary school is already operating near its limits. Adding a substantial influx of students will stretch resources past their breaking point and degrade educational quality for everyone.
• Quality of life will decline permanently. Increased traffic, congestion, noise, and disruption will fundamentally alter the character of the neighborhood. Once lost, the cohesive and peaceful community atmosphere cannot simply be restored.
Given these impacts, it is imperative that the City conduct a serious and impartial assessment of alternative locations that are appropriately equipped to handle high-density or affordable housing. Areas with stronger infrastructure, existing multi-family development, transit access, and compatible land-use patterns are far more suitable. Sound planning—not expedience—must guide decisions of this magnitude.
Residents of this community have upheld their end of the bargain. We invested heavily, maintained our properties, and built a stable and safe environment. We now expect the City to honor the commitments
2 made during development and to protect the integrity, security, and future of this neighborhood.
I strongly urge that this rezoning proposal be reconsidered in full. The long-term consequences for the community are too great to ignore.
Sincerely,
Matthew Silva
Harlan Ranch and long time Clovis resident

textarea-1755209560293 = I am writing as a homeowner and resident of the Harlan Ranch community to express my strong concern regarding the proposed rezoning of the parcel located at Owens Mountain Parkway and DeWolf Avenue from commercial use to high-density residential.
When many of us purchased our homes, we did so with the understanding—based on city planning documents, community discussions, and representations made by the builder/developer—that this parcel was designated for a small neighborhood shopping center. This planned commercial space was a key factor in our decision to invest in this community, as it was intended to provide walkable amenities and support the neighborhood’s overall design.
The sudden proposal to shift this parcel to high-density housing represents a significant departure from what was originally communicated and expected. This change will have real and negative impacts on current residents, including:
• Reduced property values, as high-density developments are not consistent with the existing character of the neighborhood nor with the expectations set at the time of purchase. • Increased traffic congestion and parking strain on streets that were not designed to support added density.
• Loss of the promised commercial amenities that would have benefited the entire community and supported local walkability.
• Erosion of trust between the city, developers, and residents when commitments and long-term plans are altered without adequate community input.
I respectfully request that the City uphold the original land-use designation and require the developer to adhere to the plans and commitments made when this neighborhood was built. At minimum, I ask that the City pause this rezoning process until a comprehensive community impact study is completed and residents have meaningful opportunity to provide input.
Our neighborhood depends on thoughtful, consistent planning that respects both the promises made to residents and the long-term vision for our community. I urge the City to protect that vision and deny the proposed rezoning.
Thank you for your consideration.

Not to mention the privacy factor. If a multi story unit is put in with windows on the side facing my house, these people will be able to see everything in my yard and will be able to see into my home. Lastly the property size is not even big enough. It would only be big enough for like 2-3 families to live. The lot is odd shaped and would be forced to build up against my property. Near this property is a bank and across the street is a planned luxury car lot! None of these businesses want this near their businesses. Crime will increase, so they better increase the budget for code enforcement, police, all the things that this WILL bring to our city.

I am concerned the 2 line, stop sign regulated roads at this intersection cannot handle the increased traffic from TWO high density housing additions at the same intersection. Already during rush hour we back up from dewolf almost to 168 going through that stop sign one at a time. And virtually everyone iscturing right, so to receive we would need 2 right turn lanes. Not possible onto a one lane each way Dewolf. To expand Dewold you would need to cut into each of these lots, decreasing number of units possible. Also this is the main entrance to all the neighborhoods along Dewolf. Detour required for construction would be both an inconvenience and a safety hazard for all these neighborhoods if emergency personnel needed to access. Why are you not looking at land east of temperance along Owen's Mountain Parkway that is already being developed? Still our general neighborhood but roads are already in progress to support development.

I understand her parcel is one being considered for infill. If this property is zoned for the higher density it would be likely sold to a affordable developer.
If all goes as planned will this property have a "By Right" overlay? Would the City and County have grants for such a project? State funds are short as I am sure you know.

Hello, we are in one of the areas where Infill Rezone Program is being considered. I tried to give my input on the suggested page but the submit button isn’t working. So I am sending you my concerns. Please share them when this is brought up. Thank you.
I am VERY OPPOSED to any multi housing units to be built to my home. The proposed area is on Clovis Ave, between Palo Alto and Sierra. The lot is small and any housing units would be very crowded, not to mention surrounded by a school and commercial businesses. We live in a quiet, well established area and it needs to stay that way. Having a low income housing development will severely cause depreciation to my home and cause my family to deal with the noise that this will cause. Not to mention the safety issues that it will cause. Also there is also way too much traffic on Clovis Ave and Palo Alto and I am shocked that severe accidents haven’t happened. By putting in a multi family development will increase the traffic. If the City approves this request, you an be sure my home will be up for sale and we will move. We are already dealing with a neighbor that causes chaos for us and we cannot bare anymore.
Thank you,
Susan Colby

Re: Formal Objection to Rezoning of Parcels 115 and 590 Near Shaw & Leonard (Infill Rezone Program)
Dear Ms. Perez,
I am submitting this letter as a formal objection to the proposed rezoning of Parcels 115 and 590, located near Shaw and Leonard, as part of the City’s Infill Rezone Program. I request that this letter be entered into the official public record for both the Planning Commission and City Council proceedings.
While the City must comply with the Martinez v. City of Clovis judgment, the specific selection of Parcels 115 and 590 is a discretionary choice made by the City—not a requirement of the court. The City’s own presentation confirms this, stating that 24 parcels were initially identified, 10 property owners requested removal, and the City removed those parcels, while 6 additional parcels were added at the request of property owners. The final list of 20 parcels is entirely City-selected.
This proves that no individual parcel is mandatory, and the City retains full authority to remove or substitute parcels as needed. Therefore, Parcels 115 and 590 can be removed without jeopardizing compliance.
1. Parcels 115 and 590 Are Not “Strictly Necessary” Under Government Code §65759
The CEQA exemption under GC §65759 applies only to actions strictly necessary to bring the Housing Element into compliance. Because the City has already exercised discretion in adding and removing parcels, neither Parcel 115 nor Parcel 590 qualifies as “strictly necessary.” Accordingly, the City cannot claim that these parcels must be included, CEQA exemptions may not apply, and a higher level of environmental review may be legally required.
2. Rezoning Conflicts With the General Plan Due to Major Infrastructure Deficiencies The rezoning of Parcels 115 and 590 is incompatible with current General Plan standards, given the significant and longstanding infrastructure failures in the Shaw & Leonard corridor:
- The Shaw Avenue widening and underpass have been planned for over a decade and remain incomplete.
- Sidewalks remain missing or inadequate, forcing children and pedestrians to walk along dirt shoulders.
- Traffic congestion already exceeds capacity due to extensive residential growth and the recently developed commercial center.
- Insufficient roadway width and congestion negatively impact emergency response access and times.
Rezoning to R-3 or R-4 for Parcels 115 and 590 violates General Plan requirements tied to infrastructure and public safety.
3. The Environmental Assessment Must Fully Address Traffic, Safety, and Cumulative Impacts The City presentation states that a “specialized Environmental Assessment (EA)” will be prepared. This EA must rigorously analyze roadway capacity, pedestrian safety, emergency access, cumulative impacts from nearby high-density housing, and added traffic from the new Shaw & Leonard commercial center.
Any EA that fails to address these known deficiencies would be incomplete and vulnerable to challenge.
4. Cumulative Impacts Make Parcels 115 and 590 Particularly Unsuitable These parcels lie in an already overburdened area characterized by existing multi-family housing, a new commercial center with high-traffic businesses, heavy congestion, incomplete pedestrian pathways, and a decade of delayed roadway improvements.
Adding more high-density zoning will worsen traffic, reduce emergency access, increase safety risks, and negatively affect home values for residents who relied on the City’s prior infrastructure commitments.
5. Formal Request for Removal of Parcels 115 and 590
For the reasons detailed above, I respectfully request that the City:
1. Remove Parcels 115 and 590 from the Infill Rezone Program.
2. Provide written justification demonstrating why these parcels are considered “strictly necessary” under GC §65759.
3. Demonstrate General Plan consistency.
4. Release the complete Environmental Assessment (EA) for public review.
Conclusion
The proposed rezoning of Parcels 115 and 590 is not required by the court, is inconsistent with the City’s General Plan, and would impose serious burdens on a corridor that already lacks the infrastructure necessary to support additional density. The City should remove these parcels from the rezone list in the interest of public safety and responsible planning.
Sincerely,
Christopher Bosworth

Dear Clovis city council,
I am not able to attend the council meeting on December 4th. As a homeowner, local business owner and voter, I want my voice heard on this matter.
As a homeowner in Loma Vista off of Shaw and Leonard, I do not support and strongly encourage the Clovis City Council to reconsider rezoning for residential at Shaw and Leonard. We do not need any more residential buildings in our neighborhood.
Traffic is already high, people drive fast up Leonard, accidents occur almost weekly at the four way stop, there are no side walks in some areas, and when we bought our home four and a half years ago, we were told that the shopping center was going to be walking and biking friendly, it is not.
There have been zero events at the park which was also promised to us and the walking/biking trail was supposed to extend 18 miles, all of which have not happened. This has been extremely disappointing. Instead we got a new huge housing development and dog creek is almost gone.
Having residential and/or apartments of any kind in the area of Shaw and Leonard makes no sense at all. We are neighborhoods, houses with farms, and orchards. This is the small town feel we love and what made us move to East Clovis.
Apartments and low income housing will absolutely bring down my home value which makes me extremely upset.
We moved to east Clovis for the quiet small town feel. We moved away from the busy and trafficked areas south of here. Building more residential and/or apartments makes our quiet neighborhood noisy and the small town feel, very cramped and busy which ultimately increases traffic and crime. And decreases our home values.
Please stop rezoning and stop building residential on Shaw and Leonard. This is bad for our community, neighborhoods and our city.

We were told there would be a beautiful, never before done shopping center and restaurants at Shaw and Leonard only to receive fast food and low-quality retail that you could have drove down Shaw to go to already. There is already high-density residential housing and apartments that have been built in this area. Loma Vista was supposed to be so much more than what it has become. I won't even begin to describe how dangerous the roads in this area are. Lack of cross walks and infrastructure is a huge issue here, especially with kids having to walk to school. Anytime these issues are brought up, everyone just passes the blame onto either the school, city or developers. I really hope this is reconsidered and you guys begin to reevaluate what is happening in Loma Vista.

There is nothing walkable anywhere near (gas, grocery stores, food places, workplaces.etc). Could make it hard for lower income people being near Harlan ranch and on Dewolf/Quincy without access to anything.

Clovis, CA 93612
Dear Mayor, Councilmembers, and Housing Authority Members, My name is Esther Hicks, and I am a resident of Clovis as well as a professional with a background in homeless services. Through my work and lived experience, I have developed a deep understanding of how housing policy affects individuals, families, and the broader community. I am writing to share my perspective regarding the structure of Clovis’s low-income housing programs and to encourage policies that support long-term community stability, safety, and educational success.
Based on my experience in the field, I respectfully propose that Clovis prioritize two groups for lowincome housing access:
(1) elderly residents living on fixed incomes, and
(2) individuals or families who are employed but earning up to 80% of the Area Median Income.
These groups often face significant financial challenges despite contributing greatly to the stability and continuity of our city. Ensuring that they have access to affordable housing provides needed support to
2 those with limited resources while also maintaining the strong neighborhood character that Clovis is known for.
Focusing eligibility on seniors and working households can help preserve neighborhood property values by encouraging predictable occupancy patterns and long-term commitment to the community.
Residents with consistent routines, work schedules, or fixed-income stability tend to contribute to safer, more cohesive neighborhoods.
Additionally, this approach supports positive educational outcomes. Stable housing, especially for families who are employed, reduces school turnover, promotes consistent attendance, and improves parental engagement. These factors directly benefit local schools and help maintain the high standards that Clovis families rely on.
My intention in offering these recommendations is to encourage a thoughtful, balanced approach to housing policy—one that aligns with Clovis’s long-standing goals of supporting seniors, strengthening working families, protecting property values, enhancing neighborhood safety, and promoting educational stability.
Thank you for considering my input and for your continued commitment to responsible community development. I appreciate your time and your service to our city.
Sincerely,
Esther Hicks

I’m just so so sorry that it did pass & they will build through out the city, not just a few spots. She had no right & our judicial system had no right, to place that awful burden upon Clovis. I’m so sorry, it sickens me. God bless you all.

Subject: Few quick questions regarding Infill Zoning sites Good afternoon Ms. Perez
Congratulations to the city on this project after long drawn litigation and negotiations. As a Clovis citizen I understand both perspectives and would like to thank you and your team for being communicative and reachable.
I’m writing today to not criticize or complain or as a NIMBY or YIMBY, but a concerned citizen who wants best for all renters/ residents and watchful of the developers and builders.
1.) Is site 157 one of the 6 parcels whose owner or legal representative of the owning entity requested to be included / rezoned?
2.) Is site 197 one of the 6 parcels whose owner requested to be included/rezoned ? In regards to site 157: a lot of people in this area have been hoping for last many years for a commercial complex to be built for services.
Please pardon me for saying, keeping aside the need for rezoning to meet the judgement needs, it solely serves the financial interest of the owning entity to change it from P-C-C to High Density Residential as the owner has been trying to sell this parcel at an Exborbitant price unsuccessfully for a few years now. It will be prudent and fair to the residents if two adjacent parcels (157 and 197)are NOT rezoned right next to each other as this would affect this neighborhood disproportionately by taking away the planned commercial complex. Please consider the viewpoint of the area residents as well, in addition to the whims and wishes of the owning entity whose sole goal is turn a BiG Profit with its sale after R-3 zoning.
Again, we fully understand the need for additional housing and city’s situation regarding the litigation and hope to find a solution that benefits the society with more affordable housing for most folks.
Please share your thoughts.
Warm Regards

Subject: Proposed rezoning
I live in the Loma Vista development. I am very much opposed to the two proposed high density housing projects. There is so much trraffic already that this would only cause major traffic concerns. I am so upset with the Leonard and Shaw intersection already. More traffic would make it much more of a traffic hazard than it already is. I think it is more than time to fix the intersection with a traffic light and widen the road. It is unbelievable that Shaw was widened from Leonard to McCall and then put in a traffic light there. The traffic there is mainly from homes. The traffic is so very congested at Shaw and Leonard and the road needs repairing, at the very least. I have seen so many fender benders and near accidents at the intersection. I have also seen young people trying to cross the intersection and an almost fatal accident with young people crossing the road on bikes and scooters. The mall has added much more traffic but I am so very happy to have the food and other businesses nearby. I moved to Clovis to live in a quieter and less congested neighborhood. Please reconsider the proposed high density housing. This is not the area to put in high density housing, it is too congested already and our "safe" community will certainly change with so many people.
Please do not change our neighborhood. Thank you.

Subject: Opposing to Loma Vista Neighborhood Rezoning
To whom this may concern,
My name is Chelsea MacLane, mother of three young girls. I am reaching out to take a stand against the rezoning of our Loma Vista neighborhood to build high density housing.
Not only will this bring down the value of our family and friends’ homes, it will bring a large amount of traffic and danger to our children. The amount of traffic and incidents as it is have already been higher than the average neighborhood. I am asking to please put an end to this rezoning plan.
I fear there is not enough public knowledge on what is coming and not enough time to bring awareness for everyone to have an opportunity to voice their opinion. I will be spreading the word to our neighbors as best as I can.
Please let me know what other steps I can take to help stop the progress of the rezoning plans. Feel free to email or call me.
Most Appreciated,
Chelsea MacLane

I bought my home brand new in 2020 and it backs up to the proposed apartment complex location on Leonard north of Shaw. This will not only lower the value of my home, but it will also make my property less enjoyable. The worst part is the traffic congestion that is already awful in the area will become worse. Its dangerous to pull out on to Leonard. You can’t see traffic coming from the south and to add in more cars at this location would be incredibly dangerous. It’s too high of a traffic area to be adding in apartments.

Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; Kong Vang Subject: Inquiry: Infill Rezone Impacts on Clovis Unified Attendance Zones Dear Ms. Perez,
Thank you for the public information materials on the Clovis Infill Rezone program. I first learned about it through recent news coverage and then through the City’s website.
I understand this rezoning stems from a legal compliance requirement tied to the 2019 Martinez legal judgment. However, one concern I would like clarification on concerns school attendance boundaries and enrollment impacts within the area highlighted in the attached image.
Although the closest rezone sites to my property are Sites 157 and 197, which sit across the 168 freeway. Our neighborhood, shown in the red circle on the attached map, falls within Clovis Unified's attendance zones, specifically the Buchanan area. Based on City mapping, some of the rezoned capacity appears to be designated for higher-density housing (apartments/townhomes, etc), which is likely to result in increased student generation.
2 This raises a question I hope the City can address for my neighboring community:
3 Has the City consulted with Clovis Unified on how the rezoning could affect future enrollment or attendance boundaries over the next decade, particularly for the schools serving this circled area? Given that CUSD recently completed its own rezoning process and publicly discussed projected housing and population impacts (including references around the 11:25 and 19:05 marks of a district presentation), it seems important for the school district to be a partner in these conversations, especially before rezoning effects become operational.
I am copying Clovis Unified Assistant Superintendent for Buchanan Area, Kevin Kerney, and Assistant Superintendent of Facility Services, Denver Stairs, on this correspondence so they are aware of the request.
Any clarification on whether the City has already coordinated with the District or intends to incorporate school capacity analysis moving forward would be greatly appreciated. My neighbors have expressed serious concerns that our community could be affected by the proposals shared with the public last year, which may shift us to the Clovis High area.
Thank you for your time and transparency as this process unfolds.
Sincerely,
4 Mai Her

Subject: Infill rezone - Leonard Ave, Loma Vista
McKencie Perez & City of Clovis Planning Division,
We are homeowners in the Loma Vista neighborhood, living at Keats Ave, with our rear property line directly connected to the parcel at Leonard Ave. My family has invested heavily in this neighborhood and we own two homes in Loma Vista. We expected to remain here long term, but that expectation has been shaken by the pattern of decisions the City of Clovis has made regarding this longplanned community.
In the past year alone, we have invested roughly $150,000 in our home, above just the purchase price, that shares a fence line with this parcel. We purchased another house nearby we felt would be a great investment due to the Loma Vista Master Plan that is seemingly being abandoned more and more each day.
I recognize that state housing law and recent litigation have placed the city under pressure to identify infill sites and increase zoning capacity for multi-family and affordable units. I also understand that the current infill rezone program includes multiple parcels across the city, not only this one.
When we purchased our home, the parcel behind us was designated for single-family residential under the adopted plans for the Loma Vista area. We relied on those adopted plans and zoning designations when selecting this lot and making substantial investments in our property.
My wife, Jerrissa Adkins, even worked as the new home sales agent for the builder Century Communities during that period selling this neighborhood and was instructed that this parcel behind us and many other of our neighbors was medium-density residential which influenced many buying decisions. Her professional reputation is now affected by the city’s departure from the published planning information she was required to convey to buyers.
In addition, the nearby commercial centers have shifted toward uses that diverge from what was originally described in the long-term vision for Loma Vista. The cumulative effect is a noticeable change in how this neighborhood is beginning to feel and function, making the proposed up-zoning behind our fence line particularly impactful.
The most significant concern for our household is the prospect of three- or four-story buildings directly on our rear fence line, with upper-story units looking down into our yard and rear windows. That level of height and adjacency would materially alter the privacy, security, and daily use of our home. Several nearby parcels to the south and west are also being considered for similar up-zoning. If all are pursued simultaneously, this neighborhood becomes encircled by high-density designations, which is not consistent with the adopted planning documents or the expectations set when these homes were sold.
I also want to note that, due to my position as the CEO of a large cybersecurity and technology company, I am already subject to elevated personal security protocols, including routine security sweeps of my
2 residence and radius of areas. Introducing high-density development directly adjoining our yard materially changes the exposure profile for my family and heightens risks that are already managed at considerable cost. This is not even mentioning a triangulation of sites (directly south, west, and north) now rezoned around us which encapsulates this neighborhood with high/very high density zonings with some affordable designations.
Given the direct impacts to existing homes and the original planning expectations for this area, we request that the city remove this parcel from the current rezone proposal, pause any action on it, and redirect the zoning obligation to alternative locations that can meet state requirements with fewer conflicts and a more appropriate fit. I may even be open to purchasing the property if a re-zone could be granted to another use.
I appreciate the difficult position the city is in as it works to comply with state housing law and the recent settlement. At the same time, decisions made now will shape the character and livability of this neighborhood for decades. The long-standing vision for Loma Vista continues to erode due to inconsistent development patterns and city actions that do not align with what residents were told to expect.
My family and I will be following this process closely and plan to participate in all upcoming meetings and hearings. I ask that adjacent residents be treated as stakeholders in this process and that the city refrain from advancing unilateral decisions without direct consultation.
I look forward to hearing back regarding this.

Hi McKencie, I have looked at the infill site map and am confused about the location of two of the sites.
1. On the map where the sites are identified in blue, Site 197 looks like it is just west of DeWolf--but the address listed on the Site List is 1497 N. Locan Ave. From the streets, it looks like Site 197 might be on the northeast corner of Locan and Quincy. Is Site 197 off DeWolf or off Locan? Can you give me the surrounding streets for Site 197?
2. On the map it looks like Site 157 (no address) is probably on the east side of DeWolf between Quincy and Owens Mountain.
Would this be correct?
Sorry to bother you with the questions, but I have been curious and haven’t really been able to tell where these two sites are.

textarea-1755209560293 = Re: Formal Objection to Proposed Rezoning — Site #197 (1497 N. Locan Ave, Clovis CA)
To: City of Clovis – Planning & Development Services
From: Residents of the Locan Avenue Neighborhood
Date: 12/07/2025
Dear Honorable Planning Commissioners and City Councilmembers, We, the residents of the Locan Avenue neighborhood and surrounding areas, submit this formal objection to the proposed rezoning of Site #197 (1497 N. Locan Ave) as part of the Infill Rezone Program.
While we recognize the City’s obligations under State housing mandates and settlement agreements, California law is equally clear that rezoning actions must be internally consistent, properly supported by infrastructure, legally defensible under CEQA, and fully aligned with the General Plan. Rezoning this parcel fails to meet those requirements and exposes the City to significant legal and procedural risks.
To comply with California Government Code, CEQA, and the City’s own adopted policies, we respectfully request that Site #197 be removed from the rezoning list.
Below are our principal concerns, including strengthened legal bases:
1. Traffic Safety & Roadway Capacity — Failure to Mitigate Required Impacts Locan Avenue is a constrained corridor lacking shoulders, sidewalks, turning lanes, and safe bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure. A substantial increase in vehicle trips triggered by R-3/R-4 zoning would create predictable and unmitigated safety hazards.
Under CEQA Guidelines §15064.3, VMT and safety impacts must be analyzed using substantial evidence.
Rezoning that introduces higher-density traffic onto an unsafe, substandard roadway—without funded improvements—cannot be exempted or cleared through a Negative Declaration.
Further, Government Code §65300.5 (internal consistency) requires that zoning actions align with circulation system capabilities. This rezoning would not.
2. Incompatibility With Existing Neighborhood Character — Potential “Spot Zoning” High-density zoning within a predominantly rural-edge, low-density environment would constitute a dramatic and unsupported deviation from the prevailing land-use pattern.
California courts have repeatedly invalidated zoning actions where a parcel is “spot-zoned” without a legitimate public interest, or where the zoning is inconsistent with surrounding uses (e.g., Foothill Communities Coalition v. County of Orange, 2014).
Changing Site #197 to multifamily residential:
• Disrupts established development patterns
• Fails to provide the required density transition
• Does not serve a unique public necessity that would justify a zoning outlier Such inconsistencies place the rezoning in conflict with Gov. Code §§65860, 65867.5, and the City’s own General Plan consistency requirements.
2 3. General Plan Inconsistency — Violates Gov. Code §65860 The General Plan presently designates this portion of Locan Avenue for low-density or rural-edge uses. A high-density designation:
• Contradicts the Land Use Map
• Violates policies governing compatibility, transitions, and rural-edge preservation • Requires a General Plan amendment
Under Gov. Code §65860, zoning must be consistent with the adopted General Plan. Courts have held repeatedly that inconsistency renders a rezoning action invalid.
A General Plan amendment to justify this parcel’s upzoning would itself be inconsistent with longstanding policy frameworks on neighborhood character and infrastructure capacity—and would set a precedent for arbitrary, parcel-by-parcel upzoning.
4. Insufficient Water, Sewer & Drainage Infrastructure — Violates State Law on Public Service Adequacy The area currently lacks sufficient:
• Sewer trunk capacity
• Water pressure and reliability
• Stormwater and drainage infrastructure designed for high-density uses California Government Code §65860(c) and §66473.7 (SB 610/SB 221) require public services to be adequate, available, and funded at the time zoning decisions are made—not at some hypothetical future point.
Additionally, CEQA requires a full analysis of utility capacity (CEQA Guidelines §15126.2(a)). A rezoning predicated on unfunded or speculative future improvements is legally vulnerable.
Because no approved or funded Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects exist for this area, the rezoning is noncompliant.
5. School Capacity Impacts — Must Be Analyzed Under CEQA & Gov. Code Schools serving this area are at or near capacity. Increased density will worsen overcrowding unless substantial mitigation is identified.
School districts may impose impact fees, but fees alone are not sufficient CEQA mitigation where significant impacts remain (e.g., Mira Monte v. County of Ventura, 2021). CEQA requires substantial evidence demonstrating that enrollment impacts are mitigated or reasonably addressed—not assumed.
Proceeding without proper analysis violates CEQA and the statutory planning obligations under Gov.
Code Title 7.
6. CEQA Violations — A Negative Declaration Cannot Legally Suffice Based on site context and foreseeable impacts, the City cannot legally rely on a Negative Declaration or a blanket Infill Program EIR to cover this parcel.
A project-level CEQA review is required for:
• Traffic and safety impacts (Guidelines §15064.3)
• Pedestrian hazards on a sidewalk-deficient corridor
• Agricultural/urban interface conflicts
• Noise, light, and privacy impacts on rural residences • Biological resource impacts on undeveloped land
• Air quality impacts in a non-attainment region
Attempting to rely on a streamlined CEQA pathway would expose the City to litigation due to the presence of fair argument triggers under Guidelines §15064(f)(1). If a fair argument of potential significant impact exists, an EIR is mandatory.
7. Agricultural & Rural-Use Conflicts — Creates New Legal Liabilities for the City This area contains small-scale agriculture, equestrian uses, and rural-edge activities. High-density development adjacent to these uses will create foreseeable nuisance complaints.
California’s Right-to-Farm Act (Civil Code §3482.5) is designed to protect agricultural operations; however, rezoning to high density adjacent to existing rural activities increases the City’s exposure to
3 conflict, code enforcement burdens, and land-use disputes.
Placing incompatible uses side-by-side contradicts long-standing General Plan directives and violates the State’s own guidance on avoiding land-use conflicts.
Formal Request
Based on the regulatory inconsistencies, infrastructure deficiencies, and legal vulnerabilities outlined above, we respectfully request that the City of Clovis:
Remove Site #197 (1497 N. Locan Ave) from the Infill Rezone Program.
Replace it with a parcel that meets General Plan designations, infrastructure capacity, and compatibility requirements.
Conduct a full, parcel-specific CEQA environmental review if the parcel remains under consideration.
We strongly support responsible, well-planned growth that complies with State law, CEQA, and the City’s adopted General Plan. However, rezoning this parcel would create substantial legal, environmental, and public-safety challenges and would undermine long-standing planning principles.
We appreciate your attention and respectfully urge the City to reconsider the inclusion of Site #197.
Sincerely,
Residents of the Locan Avenue Neighborhood

The 4 way stop on Shaw and Leonard is a nightmare and dangerous for pedestrians. Rezoning that area for high density homes will only worsen the traffic. Clovis east students are constantly crossing that 4 way stop intersection and I've seen many almost get hit. We need to prioritize improving the roads/pedestrian safety before any new high density housing is considered. Nearby elementary school red bank and cedarwood are already experiencing higher teacher to student ratios. This will worsen with more housing. In addition, Clovis east is experiencing the same over crowding. High density housing would not be a good fit for Shaw and Leonard.

Subject: Concerns About Proposed Rezoning Near Shaw & Leonard Dear Council Members,
I am writing as a resident whose home backs directly onto the parcels proposed for high-density housing.
I want to express my strong concerns about the safety, traffic, and privacy issues this project will create for families like mine.
Traffic on Leonard is already extremely heavy, and turning out from Keats Ave is often difficult and unsafe due to poor visibility and constant vehicle flow. Adding high-density housing will only increase congestion and make this intersection even more dangerous for drivers, pedestrians, and children.
This project also threatens the privacy and security of the homes that share a property line with the proposed site. As a parent of two young children, I rely on having a safe backyard for them to play in, and this development raises serious concerns about losing that sense of safety, privacy, and peace of mind.
Additionally, our neighborhood still has unfinished sidewalks, missing infrastructure, and unresolved safety issues that affect residents every day. Before considering new high-density housing, I believe it is crucial to address these existing problems. I respectfully ask how the City plans to ensure public safety and resolve current deficiencies before introducing development that will amplify these existing issues.
I ask the Council to reconsider this rezoning and prioritize the well-being of the families who already live here.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Nico Moreno

Increased density places significant strain on local infrastructure, including roads, parking, schools, and emergency services, which are already operating near capacity. Rezoning may also alter the character of a low-density residential area, leading to increased crime, increased traffic, noise, and reduced privacy for existing residents. From a financial standpoint, rapid changes in zoning and housing density can introduce uncertainty into the local real estate market, potentially affecting property values and longterm home equity for families who have made substantial investments in their homes. Additionally, insufficient planning, funding, or property management of affordable housing developments can result in higher turnover rates and maintenance concerns, which may further impact neighborhood cohesion and community standards. For these reasons, I believe rezoning decisions should carefully weigh the longterm consequences for current residents, families, and the overall sustainability of the neighborhood.

RE: Opposition to Rezoning Sites Harlan Ranch #157 & #197 – [Infill Rezone Program] Dear McKencie Perez,
I am writing to formally express my strong opposition to the proposed rezoning of sites 157 & 197 from Single-Family Residential to High-Density Multi-Family. As a resident of Harlan Ranch living directly across from the site, I am concerned that this development is inconsistent with the neighborhood's character and the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
My opposition is based on the following material impacts:
• Infrastructure Strain: Our current water, sewer, and stormwater systems are already under pressure. Adding high-density housing will exacerbate these issues and may lead to increased maintenance costs for current taxpayers.
• Traffic and Pedestrian Safety: Dewolf, Richmond Avenue, and Pamela are not designed to handle the surge in traffic and parking issues this development would generate. I am specifically concerned about the safety of children and elderly residents who walk in this area.
• Neighborhood Character and Privacy: The proposed height and scale of this building are incompatible with the existing low-density homes. Multi-story units will directly overlook my private yard, significantly diminishing the quiet enjoyment of my property. • School Overcrowding: Local schools are already at or near capacity. The influx of residents from this high-density project will create a burden that current facilities cannot support.
While I understand the need for housing growth, I urge the Planning Commission to reject this specific rezoning request and instead explore locations where high-density infrastructure is already in place. In addition, Harlan Ranch home buyers were promised access to commerce in this location by the plan developers when purchasing homes in this community.

Subject: Proposed Rezoning of sites 157 and 197
Dear McKenzie Perez,
We are writing to express our opposition to the proposed rezoning of sites 157 and 197 from SingleFamily Residential to High-Density Multi-Family. As homeowners in Harlan Ranch who live directly across from the proposed site, we believe this change is inconsistent with the surrounding neighborhood and the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
This proposal raises several serious concerns, including increased strain on already burdened water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure; traffic congestion and pedestrian safety risks on streets not designed for high-density use; and the incompatibility of a multi-story development with the existing lowdensity homes, which would negatively impact privacy and neighborhood character. Additionally, local schools are already at or near capacity and may not be able to accommodate the increase in residents this project would bring.
While we understand the need for housing growth, we respectfully urge the Planning Commission to deny this rezoning request and instead direct higher-density development to areas with appropriate infrastructure in place. We would also note that Harlan Ranch homeowners were originally advised that this area would provide access to neighborhood-serving commercial uses, not high-density residential development.
Thank you for your time and consideration of the long-term impact this decision will have on our community.
Sincerely,
Cheryl and Steve Rusconi

Subject: Formal Objection to Proposed Infill Rezoning of Parcels at DeWolf Avenue, Richmond Avenue, and Owens Mountain Parkway
Attachments: Clovis_Open_Letter_Park_Designation.pdf
Dear City of Clovis Planning Division and Planning Commission Members, I am submitting this letter as a formal objection to the proposed infill rezoning of two parcels located near the Harlan Ranch and Diamond Crest communities, specifically:
• The approximately 7-acre parcel at or near DeWolf Avenue and Richmond Avenue, and • The approximately 4.5-acre parcel on the opposite side of DeWolf Avenue, near the DeWolf Avenue dead-end at Owens Mountain Parkway
(APNs to be confirmed by the City under the Infill Rezoning Program).
The proposed rezoning would allow high-density residential development of 20–30 units per acre, with buildings up to three stories, potentially introducing up to 345 additional households into an area that is already operating beyond reasonable infrastructure capacity.
Traffic, Safety, and CEQA Concerns
The existing roadway network—including DeWolf Avenue, Richmond Avenue, and Owens Mountain Parkway—is already congested, heavily parked, and unsafe for pedestrians. The addition of hundreds of new residential units would constitute a significant traffic impact under CEQA standards, particularly with respect to:
• Increased vehicle miles traveled (VMT)
• Reduced pedestrian and cyclist safety
2 • Emergency vehicle access constraints
• Cumulative impacts when combined with existing development Children in the surrounding neighborhoods already face unsafe conditions crossing these streets.
Approving this rezoning without meaningful traffic mitigation would knowingly increase the risk of injury or loss of life.
School Overcrowding
Elementary schools serving this area are already overcrowded and operating near or above capacity. The City cannot reasonably approve additional residential density without corresponding school infrastructure expansion. Failure to address this creates a foreseeable and significant public service impact.
Lack of Parks and Open Space
The neighborhoods surrounding these parcels consist of hundreds of homes with no nearby public park or usable green space. These parcels represent one of the last remaining opportunities to provide recreational space for children and families in this area. Converting this land to housing permanently eliminates that opportunity and undermines the City’s obligation to provide balanced, humane development.
Request for Alternative Use
I respectfully but firmly request that the City of Clovis:
1. Deny the proposed residential rezoning, and
2. Designate these parcels for park, open space, or recreational use, consistent with responsible planning, public safety, and long-term community well-being.
3 Rezoning this land for additional housing instead of park use would intensify congestion, endanger children, overburden schools, and degrade quality of life. This outcome would be inconsistent with sound planning principles and the City’s duty to protect its residents.
Thank you for considering this formal objection and the long-term consequences of this decision.
Sincerely,
Joyce Okeafor

That said, I am highly disappointed that the City would choose two parcels in the same area (literally across the street from each other) accounting for nearly 25% of the required units to satisfy the lawsuit. It seems our area is having to absorb more than its fair share.
There is already a lot of traffic in the area; adding so many units will make it unimaginable, especially since they will be located at the main entrance/exit of the neighborhood.
Additionally, there are two other parcels up for sale on Owens Mountain Parkway, just down the street from the parcels chosen. What are they zoned for? Do we need to worry about even more traffic, etc. in this small area?
It is very disappointing that the city would make this type of decision without any input from the residents of the area and the impact that it will have on us. Having an “informational” meeting to announce this is what has been decided and basically there is nothing we can do about it is unbelievable. I am proud to live in Clovis and have always supported (without question) whatever the City (and schools) have on the ballot; thinking the city officials know what is best for our wonderful City – unfortunately, my opinion has now changed.

Subject: Strong Opposition to Rezoning Lots 157 and 197 in the Infill Rezone Program
Dear Commissioner Hatcher,
I am writing as a concerned resident of Clovis to urge you to recommend denial of the proposed rezoning for Lots 157 and 197 as part of the City's Infill Rezone Program. While I recognize the legal obligations stemming from the Desiree Martinez v. City of Clovis settlement to accommodate additional housing capacity, I believe these specific parcels are poorly suited for high-density (R-3 or R-4) rezoning and would impose disproportionate harms on the surrounding established neighborhoods.
The Infill Rezone Program targets underutilized parcels to help meet state housing requirements by redesignating them for high- and very high-density residential uses. However, approving rezoning for Lots 157 and 197 would fundamentally change the character of the nearby single-family residential areas. These neighborhoods have long been defined by low-density homes, providing a sense of openness, privacy, and community cohesion that residents value highly. Introducing multi-family developments here would erode this suburban character, increase noise and activity levels, and create an incompatible transition that disrupts the established fabric of the area.
Traffic concerns are particularly acute for these lots. Their proximity to major thoroughfares and freeway access points means rezoning to high density could funnel significantly more vehicles into already congested residential streets. This influx would worsen peak-hour backups, heighten risks to pedestrians and children, and strain local roadways not designed for such volumes. Without assured major infrastructure improvements, these changes would degrade quality of life and safety for current residents.
Moreover, rezoning these specific parcels would contribute to an unfair concentration of high-density housing in certain parts of Clovis. The program includes 20 sites citywide, but approving Lots 157 and 197 would place an outsized burden on the neighborhoods immediately adjacent to them, while other areas remain less affected. This uneven distribution exacerbates inequities, overburdening local schools, parks, utilities, and emergency services in already impacted zones.
Additional issues include potential strains on infrastructure—such as water, sewer, and schools—that may not readily scale to support hundreds of new residents per site. Environmental effects, including loss of open space and increased stormwater runoff or pollution from denser development, further weigh against approval. Property values in surrounding homes could also suffer, impacting longtime homeowners' equity and the overall stability of the community.
I respectfully ask that you, as a representative on the Planning Commission, carefully consider these site-specific impacts and recommend against rezoning Lots 157 and 197. Alternatives, such as prioritizing other parcels with better compatibility or lower-density options where feasible, would better balance housing needs with neighborhood preservation.
Thank you for your time and dedication to thoughtful planning in Clovis. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further and can be reached at ]. Please keep me updated on the status of the Infill Rezone Program and any upcoming hearings.

RE: Opposition to Rezoning Sites Harlan Ranch #157 & #197 – [Infill Rezone Program]
Dear Commissioner Hatcher,
I am writing to formally express my strong opposition to the proposed rezoning of sites 157 & 197 from Single-Family Residential to High-Density Multi-Family. As a resident of Harlan Ranch living directly across from the site, I am concerned that this development is inconsistent with the neighborhood's character and the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
My opposition is based on the following material impacts:
• Infrastructure Strain: Our current water, sewer, and stormwater systems are already under pressure. Adding high-density housing will exacerbate these issues and may lead to increased maintenance costs for current taxpayers.
• Traffic and Pedestrian Safety: Dewolf, Richmond Avenue, and Pamela are not designed to handle the surge in traffic and parking issues this development would generate. I am specifically concerned about the safety of children and elderly residents who walk in this area.
2 • Neighborhood Character and Privacy: The proposed height and scale of this building are incompatible with the existing low-density homes. Multistory units will directly overlook my private yard, significantly diminishing the quiet enjoyment of my property.
• School Overcrowding: Local schools are already at or near capacity. The influx of residents from this high-density project will create a burden that current facilities cannot support.
While I understand the need for housing growth, I urge the Planning Commission to reject this specific rezoning request and instead explore locations where highdensity infrastructure is already in place.

Subject: Clovis Infill sites #157 & #197
Hello City Commissioner Hatcher,
My name is Jennie Daly and I am a homeowner of Harlan Ranch, I have been following the information that has been made public regarding the infill rezone program for “high and/or very high density” affordable housing. We have been obtaining detailed information from other homeowners in the area who have taken time to do their research. So far it seems as if the parcels near Harlan Ranch (site# 157 and site# 197) have not been well thought out as to how it would impact our community and school system.
First and foremost, being that we are home owners in one of the highly esteemed and well kept neighborhoods in Clovis, we would hope that the City of Clovis would try to maintain the value of our community and make sure that any rezoning project would take that into account. High density housing will cause increased traffic coming off of the 168 which will greatly impact the flow on the single turn-lane onto DeWolf. The inevitable increase in population will also impact the facilities/parks at Harlan Ranch (which are financially maintained by the HOA, but yet are open to the public). This does not seem fair to the homeowners who pay into the HOA. Additionally, It is a known fact that with low-income housing comes several community struggles such as higher crime rates, more substance misuse in the area, and other unwanted activity in the neighborhood. Although inclusion is always welcome, we hope that this change in affordability does not allow people (that may potentially have different standards) to diminish the caliber that we uphold for the Harlan Ranch area.
Furthermore, how would this affect the population capacity of Bud Rank Elementary? And how would it potentially effect the academic level that Bud Rank currently maintains?
Another thought that has come up during homeowner discussions (if apartments are definitely going to happen), is the possibility of senior living apartments. This would avoid the impact on traffic, school, and crime. Has that been a topic of discussion?
Thank you,
Jennie Daly
Clovis resident of Harlan Ranch and physician at Valley Children’s Hospital.

February 5, 2026
Dear Commissioner Hatcher,
We are writing to formally express our strong opposition to the proposed rezoning of sites 157 & 197 from Single-Family Residential to High-Density Multi-Family. As residents and property owners within 800 feet of the proposed sites, we are concerned that this development is inconsistent with the neighborhood's character and the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Infrastructure Strain: Our current water, sewer, and stormwater systems are already under pressure. Adding high-density housing will exacerbate these issues and may lead to increased maintenance costs for current taxpayers.
Traffic and Pedestrian Safety: Dewolf, Richmond, and Quincy Avenues are not designed to handle the surge in traffic and parking issues this development would generate. We are specifically concerned about the safety of children and elderly residents who walk in this area. A pedestrian/bike trail crosses both Richmond and Quincy. Quincy has no stop signs, nor speed bumps nor flashing lights to slow traffic. There are only two speed limit signs on Quincy (one in each direction), neither of which can be easily seen by traffic entering from DeWolf or Locan.
Excessive Traffic &. Speeding in Residential Neighborhood: When the neighborhoods bordered by Richmond and Quincy were built, a group of concerned residents met with City of Clovis personnel regarding the traffic and excessive speeding occurring on the two streets. The City noted that the excessive speeds recorded were within an acceptable range, i.e. 15 mph above the 25 mph speed limit. This was an unacceptable answer. Drivers continue to travel well above the 25 mph speed limit. This will only continue to get worse with the added traffic from the proposed multi family, high density projects.
Neighborhood Character and Privacy: The proposed height and scale of these projects are incompatible with the existing low-density homes. Decisions to live in this area were based on the existing zoning. If purchasers knew that a zoning change of this significance would be made, decisions to invest in this area most likely would not have been made. It is not fair to residents who have made significant investments in their properties.
Overcrowding: Local schools are already at or near capacity. The influx of residents from this high-density project will create a burden that current facilities cannot support. While we understand the need for housing growth, we urge the Planning Commission to reject this specific rezoning request and instead explore locations where high-density infrastructure is already in place. In addition, home buyers were promised access to commerce in this location by the plan developers and confirmed by City representatives when purchasing homes in this community.

I have been made aware of the Infill Court Decision (Dez Martinez vs. City of Clovis) that may directly affect me and my community in Clovis, CA, and more specifically Harlan Ranch, which is directly across the street from the potential rezoning project(s). As part of this effort, the City of Clovis has identified 20 properties for potential rezoning to R-3 (medium-high density residential), with a few sites proposed as R4:
2 •• Site 115: Approximately 7 acres located at the southwest corner of Harlan Ranch, proposed to be rezoned to R-3, allowing up to 30 units per acre and three-story apartment development. •• Additional nearby property: The northwest corner of Owens Mountain Parkway and DeWolf Avenue, immediately west of an existing home, is also proposed for R-3 zoning.
If this rezoning occurs, and the housing developments are built, it will greatly affect me and my community.
One option that has been discussed by me and other residents of Harlan Ranch is that any development at these sites be restricted to senior housing, which could help mitigate several potential impacts, including:
• Reduced traffic congestion
• No impact on local schools
• Lower demand on community amenities by non-residents
• Addressing the current shortage of senior housing in Clovis Please consider building senior housing, above anything else, in the above-described locations.
Thank you for your attention,

Subject: Affordable housing in Clovis
McKencie:
I hope this finds you well.
I’m contacng you regarding the controversy regarding the proposed site for affordable housing at Owens Mountain and DeWolf Avenue. I live in Harlan Ranch and a&ended a Homeowners Associaon Board Meeng a few weeks ago where a resident made a presentaon on this subject. I’ve been thinking about this since then and I wanted to share some thoughts with you regarding this controversial ma&er.
As an Architect, my firm has designed several affordable housing projects throughout the Valley. At the moment, we have a 4-story, (114) unit project under construcon at the corner of Blackstone and Dakota in Fresno, a 3-story (80) unit project in Visalia, and we are just starng the renovaon of an affordable senior housing project in Exeter. We are wellversed in this typology and understand the financial, polical and development challenges associated with affordable housing. Furthermore, I am a proponent of affordable housing to address the daunng economic and social difficules Californians face – including residents of Clovis. I wholeheartedly support the development of affordable housing in Clovis and believe that well-designed affordable housing can benefit the city as a whole.
From my work in the affordable housing marketplace, I have learned that site selecon is one of the most crical issues contribung to a successful affordable housing development. Affordable housing necessarily relies on an infusion of public funding in the form of grants or tax credits to bridge the gap between a non-viable project and a viable one from a development standpoint. To be compeve in pursuing grant funding from the State of California, a site must meet the needs of its residents. The most compeve sites share the following qualies:
• served by mass transit
• connected to walkable/bikeable neighborhoods
• contribute to the creaon of “complete streets”
• provide access to amenies (work, services, parks, schools, entertainment, etc.) without reliance on an automobile
The State places a high value on resilient, sustainable sites, preferring more urbanized locaons over suburban areas that lack many of the a&ributes that support residents. A good example of this is our project at Blackstone and Dakota in Fresno. This project is situated on Fresno’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line that traverses the urbanized Blackstone Avenue Corridor. The BRT will connect resident of our project to downtown Fresno, Riverpark, and the new Fancher Creek commercial/retail center at Clovis Avenue and Tulare as well as schools, shopping, entertainment, work, etc.
Due to its locaon on the far edge of development in Clovis, removed from the services and amenies needed to support affordable housing, this reality suggests that a Harlan Ranch site would not be compeve for grant funding and would likely not be realized. While I welcome a mix of housing typologies in “my backyard”, from experience, I believe that the Harlan Ranch site idenfied by the city for affordable housing would be passed over, and available funding would go towards sites proposed by other urban centers.
I encourage the city to idenfy sites be&er suited to creang affordable housing projects that meet the day-to-day needs of future residents. I’m more than willing to help the City of Clovis in any way I can, to meet this challenge. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any service.

Subject: Infill Rezone Program
Dear Deputy City Planner Perez,
I hope this email finds you well. I have been meaning to write you for some time now in regards to the Infill Rezone Program. Unfortunately given the busy nature of the year end with both the holidays and business, I like many was unable to attend the December meeting. I heard from a neighbor recently that there was an additional meeting held in February, but I was never informed unfortunately as I would have attended.
Our neighborhood, which is the Wilson Windsor development just west of DeWold and North of 168, were in the very middle of the recent CUSD redistricting and zoning mess a year or two back. My proposal, along with a few other similar proposals, was actually used in the final draft of that decision. I was shocked that CUSD was truly listening and looking for solutions, and realized just how sincere they were when Norm Anderson reached out to me to discuss my ideas and inform me they were using it. The reason I bring this up is because the same concerns that stopped CUSD from making changes to our area are still present in the proposal to build high density housing here.
Our traffic and roads present a major problem in the area. Because there is no road that runs cleanly or completely from East to West from Harlan Ranch area to Temperance or further west except Shepherd, everyone who lives in Harlan Ranch already uses our small residential streets to travel through the neighborhood, which causes all kinds of traffic and safety issues. This was well documented in the redistricting as a problem, including impact and speed limit test being done by the city, with discussion of speed bumps and other measures. DeWolf is a major problem as well given the setup currently, with constant traffic problems, and poor planning for the current amount of homes. The other common issue, and main issue, is we already have schools highly impacted from all of the building in the area. This was what got our area in a round of heated board meetings. Dry Creek is ridiculously impacted currently. I can't imagine how adding ultra high density housing such as apartments would possibly work in this area. We already have quite a bit of high density housing in an entire section of Harlan Ranch right across the road from us, the smaller homes without the yards and condensed properties.
As a Clovis homeowner and tax payer, I was not pleased to find out that children in our area were being pushed to other schools, while other kids not from the area were simultaneously being bussed in. I am all about people having equal access to education, but you can't accomplish this by punishing the children in the area whose families pay the taxes that support those schools, and would not be possible without. We could have bought the same home we worked hard to buy here for quite a bit less in neighboring CUSD school areas, such as Clovis West or Clovis East, but we worked hard and wanted to live here. The majority of the reason it has taken so long for me to reach out is because of the long hours I work to be able to pay for our home and the taxes that go with it. That is a choice we made as a family. I am well aware of the California and Federal housing rules, but don't agree with them. Look, I feel that I deserve to live on a golf course on the coast because my and my family's health is impacted by the valley air quality with allergies and asthma, and golf would help me relax, but no one is going to make that happen for me. I have to make that happen for me. We all have wants and feelings, but
2 unfortunately that is not how the world works. If you keep doing this to your tax paying residents, eventually you will have no revenue with which to pay for this city, the employee salaries, or the school district. I can't tell you the number of neighbors and friends who I have had conversations with that feel this very way. They all say the same, if this is what is going to happen, it is time to leave the area and probably the state. The novel Atlas Shrugged was a powerful warning from historical experience against this type of behavior.
I appreciate you taking the time to consider my concerns and suggestions. I would be happy to discuss and expand if you would like to set up a time to talk. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Have a great evening!

It is a well established neighborhood, very calm and quiet. Those that have homes that line up to the proposed property will suddenly have to start worrying about potential people coming over fences, debri, noise, etc. We already have a very disruptive person living on Clovis Ave (code enforcement is fining) for their space and disruptive behavior.

Re: Formal Public Comment on the Infill Rezone Program – Continued Opposition to Rezoning Sites Adjacent to Harlan Ranch (Specifically Site 115 and the Parcel at the Northwest Corner of Owens Mountain Parkway and DeWolf Avenue)
Dear Ms. Perez:
Thank you for the notification regarding the proposed Infill Rezone Program. As a homeowner and resident of Harlan Ranch (a master-planned community of over 1,500 single-family homes), I previously submitted written comments on February 3, 2026. I write now as continued formal public comment on the program in direct response to your notice, ahead of the May 28, 2026 Planning Commission hearing. I remain supportive of the City’s efforts to comply with the Martinez v. City of Clovis judgment and the sixth-cycle Housing Element (certified December 2024), which require capacity for approximately 1,284– 1,300 additional affordable units to address unmet lower-income RHNA obligations. However, I strongly oppose the proposed rezoning of peripheral sites adjacent to Harlan Ranch—specifically Site 115 (approximately 7 acres at the southwest corner, proposed for R-3 zoning allowing up to 30 units per acre and three-story apartments) and the parcel at the northwest corner of Owens Mountain Parkway and DeWolf Avenue—to high-density R-3 zoning. These sites are fundamentally incompatible with the area’s character, infrastructure, and state planning priorities.2041 The City’s own Infill Rezone Program documentation and the Housing Element describe these as “infill” sites, yet they fall far short of state definitions and preferences for true infill development. Harlan Ranch is a suburban, master-planned, low-density single-family community on the outskirts of Clovis, governed by a 2010 Master Plan and HOA CC&Rs that explicitly emphasize controlled density, family-oriented design, shared parks, playgrounds, and landscaping. Rezoning to R-3 (high-density, up to 30 du/ac with three-story buildings) would introduce an abrupt, incompatible scale—potentially 210+ units on Site 115 alone—that clashes with the neighborhood’s low-density character and burdens HOA-funded amenities without proportional contribution from new residents.
These sites are vehicle-dependent with limited transit, resulting in high Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT).
Clovis Transit service in the eastern Harlan Ranch area remains limited (even with recent micro-transit additions), and residents rely heavily on personal vehicles for jobs, services, schools, and amenities.
This directly contradicts HCD’s Sites Inventory Guidebook best practices for lower-income RHNA sites, which prioritize proximity to transit, jobs, high-performing schools, healthcare, grocery stores, and amenities to promote walkability, reduce VMT, advance equitable housing, and support climate goals (consistent with SB 743). Peripheral edge locations like these score poorly on HCD suitability factors and fail to exemplify “true infill” as expanded under recent laws such as AB 130 (CEQA exemption for qualifying urban infill projects up to 20 acres) and SB 772 (expanding infill definitions to urbanized areas).
In contrast, central/downtown parcels or those along major avenues better align with these mandates
2 and successful Clovis examples like Butterfly Gardens (supportive housing) and Solivita Commons (affordable family units).
Traffic and infrastructure impacts are already documented concerns. Owens Mountain Parkway, Shepherd Avenue, and nearby Highway 168/Owens Mountain interchanges experience peak-hour congestion and delays (exacerbated by events and growth), as noted in public comments, General Plan analyses, and media coverage of the program. Adding high-density units would worsen Level of Service, safety risks, and VMT without adequate mitigation. Local Clovis Unified School District schools serving the area face record enrollment pressures (approximately 43,000 students citywide) and capacity constraints, with new schools planned but not yet alleviating near-term strain from family-oriented units.
These gaps undermine the legislative intent of the Housing Element Law (Gov. Code §§ 65580–65589.8) and Martinez requirements for adequate, suitable sites with realistic development potential (Gov. Code § 65583.2).
State law and the City’s adopted plans require sites to be “adequate” and suitable, considering infrastructure, realistic capacity, neighborhood character, and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) principles. The 2010 Harlan Ranch Master Plan and General Plan prioritize low-density residential stability and family-oriented living in planned communities. Dense development here would undermine these policies, reduce quality of life for existing residents, and risk long-term incompatibility. Residents prefer—and the record supports—development that protects established neighborhoods while meeting housing goals.
Alternatives
I urge the City to:
1. Prioritize more centrally located opportunity sites from the Housing Element inventory (e.g., downtown or along major avenues). These better meet HCD criteria, reduce VMT, leverage existing transit/infrastructure, and align with AB 130/SB 772 infill preferences, minimizing legal and practical risks.
2. If any peripheral/edge sites must be used, restrict rezoning and development to senior or agerestricted housing only. This would address Clovis’s senior housing shortage, reduce traffic impacts by an estimated 20–30% (fewer school/commute trips), eliminate school capacity strain, and lower demands on community amenities—fully consistent with HCD guidelines on specialneeds housing and equitable distribution.
These alternatives are feasible, as the Housing Element identifies suitable central parcels and the program allows for tailored zoning/conditions. The City must fully evaluate them under state law to demonstrate compliance.
Risks of Under-Evaluating Alternatives
Selecting unsuitable peripheral sites without robust alternatives analysis exposes the City to significant risks:
• Further litigation or HCD findings of non-compliance (echoing Martinez, where inadequate zoning/density and site suitability led to the judgment). • Delayed or unrealized affordable housing production.
• CEQA challenges, community opposition delays (already evident in public meetings), and infrastructure costs borne by taxpayers/residents.
3 • Undermining AFFH goals and efficient RHNA progress, potentially inviting enforcement actions under AB 1398 or related statutes.
A thorough record of alternatives analysis, traffic/school studies, and master-plan consistency review is essential to avoid these outcomes and ensure defensible, sustainable compliance.
I respectfully request that the City reconsider and exclude (or heavily condition) the Harlan Ranchadjacent sites, prioritize truly suitable central infill alternatives, and provide a detailed written response addressing these points. This balanced approach will advance state mandates while preserving the character and livability of established communities like Harlan Ranch.
Thank you for your attention and for your service in balancing housing needs with community protection.
I look forward to your response and continued public engagement.
Sincerely,
Christopher Valadez

User comment: I am writing as a concerned resident of Clovis to urge you to recommend denial of the proposed rezoning for Lots 157 and 197 as part of the City's Infill Rezone Program. While I recognize the legal obligations stemming from the Desiree Martinez v. City of Clovis settlement to accommodate additional housing capacity, I believe these specific parcels are poorly suited for high-density (R-3 or R-4) rezoning and would impose disproportionate harms on the surrounding established neighborhoods. The Infill Rezone Program targets underutilized parcels to help meet state housing requirements by redesignating them for high- and very high-density residential uses. However, approving rezoning for Lots 157 and 197 would fundamentally change the character of the nearby single-family residential areas.
These neighborhoods have long been defined by low-density homes, providing a sense of openness, privacy, and community cohesion that residents value highly. Introducing multi-family developments here would erode this suburban character, increase noise and activity levels, and create an incompatible transition that disrupts the established fabric of the area. Traffic concerns are particularly acute for these lots. Their proximity to major thoroughfares and freeway access points means rezoning to high density could funnel significantly more vehicles into already congested residential streets. This influx would worsen peak-hour backups, heighten risks to pedestrians and children, and strain local roadways not designed for such volumes. Without assured major infrastructure improvements, these changes would degrade quality of life and safety for current residents. Moreover, rezoning these specific parcels would contribute to an unfair concentration of high-density housing in certain parts of Clovis. The program includes 20 sites citywide, but approving Lots 157 and 197 would place an outsized burden on the neighborhoods immediately adjacent to them, while other areas remain less affected. This uneven
2 distribution exacerbates inequities, overburdening local schools, parks, utilities, and emergency services in already impacted zones. Additional issues include potential strains on infrastructure—such as water, sewer, and schools—that may not readily scale to support hundreds of new residents per site.
Environmental effects, including loss of open space and increased stormwater runoff or pollution from denser development, further weigh against approval. Property values in surrounding homes could also suffer, impacting longtime homeowners' equity and the overall stability of the community. I respectfully ask that you, as a representative on the Planning Commission, carefully consider these site-specific impacts and recommend against rezoning Lots 157 and 197. Alternatives, such as prioritizing other parcels with better compatibility or lower-density options where feasible, would better balance housing needs with neighborhood preservation. Thank you for your time and dedication to thoughtful planning in Clovis. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further and can be reached at [ ].
Please keep me updated on the status of the Infill Rezone Program and any upcoming hearings.

textarea-1755209560293 = Dear McKencie Perez,
I am a resident of Bonaventure Mobile Home Park at 1724 Minnewawa, Space 213. I am well aware of the need for better low-cost housing. Having lived here since 2007, I have come to know mobile homes well and realize that there was a huge code change in 1980. Most of the mobile homes here were built before then.
One basic problem with MHs is that they are on inadequate foundations. Because the ground underneath settles over time, the house goes "out of level". The walls and flooring starts to rise and fall in different places. The walls can crack, the countertops can buckle or crack. My point is, "mobile" homes are fairly ridiculous things to put in!
Years ago, we had a manager, Randall Guerra, who took it upon himself to have a new home put in whenever the park 'inherited' a MH from someone who passed away with no provisions made and often, in arrears on monthly rent, so the space could be filled by the park and then the new house sold to a new resident. Unfortunately, the park owners no longer make that effort, so the place gets more rundown every year just because these old MHs get older. Covid took Randall and we miss him.
I urge you to think about manufactured housing in the city’s Infill program, but NOT mobile homes. I do think this is one of the few areas in the country where MHs are not going to blow away due to tornadoes (yet). I would not live in a MH anywhere else. But a good manufactured home, on a solid foundation, solar-equipped and wheelchair accessible would definitely beat a MH any day. I think the city could do these in a park-like setting, with a manager, and a wellness program, and do very well.
I am a semi-retired CPA and very interested in the Infill Rezone Program. I wish you success in making these improvements to the city attractive and useful. There are so many people who cannot afford decent housing, but if they could -- if more were available -- would be productive families, contributing to the city.
Blessings to you.

Subject: Clovis infill rezoning
Good afternoon Ms. Perez
Rezoning two adjacent parcels, 157 & 197 will unduly affect the surrounding area as many residents having been waiting and bought with the hope that the commercial lot will eventually have a small grocery/convenience store and services. Please consider our humble request as it is a food desert out there and no barber shops etc either.
Please consider rezoning the already residential (low density) to high density while leaving the commercial as such. It will allow services that will well serve that area in the long run.
Warm regards

SUBJECT: Planning Commission Consideration of the Infill Rezone Program Sites 595, 596, 597.
Chairman and Members of the Clovis Planning Commission:
I represent Kenneth Crawford, owner of proposed Infill Rezone sites 595, 596 and 597. We support the redesignation and rezoning of the subject sites as proposed by Clovis’ Planning and Development Services staff.
The Crawford family are longtime residents of the Clovis area and have owned portions of this site since 1985. They have maintained several rental houses there over the years and it has always been their desire to develop a quality independent senior residential village at this location. The proposed infill rezoning program recommended by staff will greatly assist in moving forward with this project.
We respectfully request that the Planning Commission support staff’s recommendation in assigning R-4 (Very High Density Residential) Zoning to the subject sites.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,

It was a great meeting on May 28, 2026. Thank you for all your efforts.
It seems clear that the rezoning will happen, but there's one topic I don't believe anyone brought up regarding the two lots located at De Wolf Ave. and Owens Mountain Parkway and that is to please consider building senior living above anything else, please.
Thank you for your attention, Grace Nelson.

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen:
I have been made aware of the Infill Court Decision (Dez Martinez vs. City of Clovis) that may directly affect me and my community in Clovis, CA, and more specifically Harlan Ranch, which is directly across the street from the potential rezoning project(s). As part of this effort, the City of Clovis has identified 20 properties for potential rezoning to R-3 (medium-high density residential), with a few sites proposed as R-4:
•• Site 115: Approximately 7 acres located at the southwest corner of Harlan Ranch, proposed to be rezoned to R-3, allowing up to 30 units per acre and three-story apartment development. •• Additional nearby property: The northwest corner of Owens Mountain Parkway and DeWolf Avenue, immediately west of an existing home, is also proposed for R-3 zoning.
If this rezoning occurs, and the housing developments are built, it will greatly affect me and my community.
One option that has been discussed by me and other residents of Harlan Ranch is that any development at these sites be restricted to senior housing, which could help mitigate several potential impacts, including:
• Reduced traffic congestion
• No impact on local schools
• Lower demand on community amenities by non-residents
• Addressing the current shortage of senior housing in Clovis Please consider building senior housing, above anything else, in the above-described locations.
Thank you for your attention,

I understand the city is reacting to a lawsuit against Clovis for the lack of mixed housing throughout the city
However the longterm impacts of mixing low income housing in areas of Clovis where we want to keep decades of future home buyers coming and being able to sell properties at their highest value is important. The short term gain of placing low incoming housing in this area will only have longterm negative impacts that will never rebound from this decision. What areas of Clovis are left where homes will continue to bring in higher property taxes to fund all the other projects as minimum wage to fix city still increase.
The planned low income housing may have plans to look nice and modern but ptoential homebuys will be deterred by it. I know there is new developments going up and those properties will lend money to the city but Clovis residents are proud to live here. The people will lose hope in the city and those people who make improtant decisions because the people aren’t valued or heard.
Besides the quick resolution with negative outcomes - is there anything else that can be considered to keep high values to more homes (such as those in Harlan Ranch) and the spirit of the residents alive — where we want to care about how we treat our city and their neighbors? Pretty soon this city will look like Fresno and no one ever says they want to move or live in Fresno Can we possibly reserve this piece of land for senior citizen housing / community? Or small mom and pop stores (similar to Old Town Clovis) with housing located above the shops? I’m not too familiar with all the laws/etc - however are there any other avenues up for consideration? Thank you for your time in reading this and I hope that there is something else we can do with this area Client IP = 108.227.94.245

RE: Lot 72
We’ve lived on W Kenosha Ave for over 28 years. We remember when Willow and Nees were only 2 lanes and the corner of Willow and Nees was undeveloped. So we’ve seen a lot of change - mostly good. We’re writing to share some history about Lot 72 as rezoning it to R3 or R4 would be disastrous to our neighborhood.
Lot 72 originally had just one home on it. When the owner passed away, the spouse sold it to the current owner, orthodontist. He told us from the beginning that he wanted to build a family compound on the land and shared his plans with us as he wanted to build and orthodontist building that contains office space as well. He went on about how being across from the Buchanan Complex would bring him a lot of business - all those teeth to straighten. Well, here we are many years later and it doesn’t appear that the business is thriving at this location. He has several around the valley, we understand. Nor did the family compound ever get built.
In the meantime, we’ve had to contend with the parking lot noise, pop-up business on Saturdays, hour long clearing of the parking lot by the gardener using a handheld blower, smokers of all sorts (not just tobacco). A broken sprinkler on their side of the wall flooded our yard. We called the orthodontist office asking for help and were referred to the sprinkler installer whose business is up north and go no help.
Long story short, they expected us to deal with it and offered no help. We never heard from the owner and eventually we contacted the county for help. A drone was sent out to verify the problem. They reported back that yes there was indeed a rupture but they couldn’t help because the owner needed to deal with it. We had to turn off the sprinklers that were leaking and then their gardener turned them back on.
Eventually it was fixed. It only took about 2 months. (Mind you this is when water was being rationed). The
2 orthodontist building has not been well cared for either. The lettering on the signs are coming down, the building itself is in need of paint - rust is visible, there was a cracked window that faced the street for several months. Landscape is mediocre at best.
The most problematic issues are the weeds/trash and mosquito problem. I’ve enclosed some photos of the field/yard that butts up to our yard and our neighbors yard. Mind you, their fence is wood and would more than likely, burn fast if it were to catch fire. We’ve had to contact weed abatement and the owner waits until the very last day before he’s fined to take care of the issue. But the truth is he doesn’t take care of the issue - he does piece meal fixes. He mows down the weeds on Peach across from the school.
You know the stuff you can see. The renter of the home on the property mows his front “lawn” but not the rest of the yard that extends toward us. You’ll see what we’re mentioning in the photos. There is also a water valve (which is also in the photos) that leaks and so weeds continue to grow. Water pools which, you guessed it, grows mosquitoes. (Not sure this is owner’s problem or city problem to fix).
The renters of the home on the property are relatives of the orthodontist and are nice neighbors. They’ve had problems with school children and some adults, trying to take a shortcut through their front yard to Kenosha. This might be the reason why they’ve not cleared the area (to discourage them - since it’s a dangerous mess to traverse). There’s also a broken down chainlink fence that they erected (it was not properly installed - just propped up) and fell within a few weeks. So, what remains is a true mess. The weeds grow out on to Kenosha in front of our home. We’ve tried to clean it up but it’s a huge job. It would take tools we don’t have.
It is now June 3rd, the deadline passed to clean up the weeds. Yesterday the large field was disced but not the mess near us. The owner hasn’t been a good neighbor or corporate citizen and is now offering his 2 acres across from Garfield Elementary as property to develop into R3 or R4. His previous attempts to develop the land was met with stiff opposition by us, the homeowners. We are an established neighborhood. We deserve to be able to continue with the same and we need your help.
