It is the wrong project for this residential neighborhood. The entrances to the property on Bullard Ave will cause additional traffic congestion and accidents.

There are already enough accidents at Bullard and Van Ness as it is. Safety should be a concern for your department.

The property entrance next to Malloch School is not conducive for ingress/egress either, this is where the children get on the school buses. This and many other concerns make this a very poorly conceived project. Thank you.

Subject: Property @ 2287 West Bullard Avenue

City of Fresno Planning and Development,
My husband and I have lived at 5737 N. Sequoia Avenue for the past 36 years. It's a very quiet street outside of school traffic at peak times of the day, which has been of no concern to us.

Recently, the above referenced home has become a
concern.

The proximity of the Bullard Avenue home to ours is only a hundred

feet and easily visable if you are in our front yard.

Following is a recent history of the
home at
2287 West Bullard Avenue.

In early 2000 a rapist lived in a trailer on the back side of the property for several years.

He was allowed to live by the school even though he was a registered sex offender, due to the fact he was not a pedophile.

Next, came the son of the homeowner who dealt drugs out of the house for several years.

The drug dealing literally happened on the street in front of Malloch Elementary
at all hours of the day and night. We watched the buyers come and go for years.

A couple moved in for the next 6 or 7 years until the property was sold in April of 2022. The owner ran his construction business out of the home. Since his death,

and the sale of the home, the house has been occupied on and off by homeless people.

This is when the property and driveway access were boarded up to hopefully prevent further access by unauthorized people.

An officer from the Fresno Police
Department checks the surrounding area on a frequent basis and has told me he can't believe this
goes on across from the elementary school.

Two weeks ago we heard the helicopter and Fresno PD asking someone to come out with their hands up. I do not know details of the incident, but someone was hiding in the home.

Last Saturday, September 2, 2023 at 2:00 in the afternoon smoke was billowing from the fireplace. Obviously someone was inside either cooking food or possibly meth! With all due respect to the neighbors who oppose this project, you most likely have not visually experienced what goes on at this location. I am confident that your concern for the
children attending Malloch School is of more concern than a commercial property being built on the location. The property has been zoned RS-2 for as long as we have known,
so some type of commercial use is likely going to happen. ( We doubt anyone would build a single family home facing Bullard which is such a busy street.) This Respiratory Care Center seems to be an acceptable and safe solution to the problem as long as access to the facility is on Bullard Avenue and not Morris Avenue.

Thank you,
Jim and Mary Ann Gibbs

My wife and family built and have lived in our home 1/2 block from the terrible proposed project on Bullard Ave. for 35 years. It is not Zoned for such use and will bring down the values of all homes in the area. And each of you knows that the objections Mr. Wanger has presented are all true and warranted. It is very clear. Whoever votes yes on this project will be remembered and replaced ASAP. This IS OUR BACKYARD, and we will not forget if you vote in favor of violating our zoning Laws. Jim & Kitty Burden...

As long-time residents of this low-density residential neighborhood, we strongly oppose the development of a major commercial full-time residential medical building at 2287 W. Bullard Ave.

First, it is completely out of sync with the intent and here-to-fore use of the property, and the developed use of the neighborhood in which it would reside.

Second, it will appreciably add to the traffic flow, a flow already intensified during the comings and goings at the adjacent Malloch School. Access from Bullard will be dicey going westward, because of the heavy eastward flow.

Access via Roberts, Celeste, morris and/or Celeste already impact residential neighbors because of the school, which we agreeably live with. Additionally, the increased traffic will wear more seriously on the roads’ surfaces.

Add on to that, the type of lighting and other services/utilities required to operate, and you get what could only be considered an obtrusive mess.

Neighbors have attempted to interface with the hopeful developers to no avail, in part due to one partner’s dismissive and rude behavior. For one thing, we have proposed a single building with lower number of patients. But we were informed that the developers could not make enough money that way.

We also proposed more small housing through condos or as a PUD. That is something that is sorely needed, and would maintain the original intent and long-existing character/use.

Please say NO.

To Whom It May Concern:

My husband Art Estrada and I are the homeowners at 5661 N. Sequoia Ave. Fresno, CA 93711. We are unable to attend tonight’s meeting due to my husband testing positive for Covid this morning.

We would like to have our opposition to this development noted. We do not support this property being developed into anything other than low-density residential, in keeping with our current neighborhood situation.

Respectfully,

Renea Estrada
