Project: Planning Application P20-01559 for Azorro Senior Housing Complex
District CEQA Reference No: 20201028
Dear Ms. Vang:
The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the project referenced above from the City of Fresno (City). The project consists of a planned housing development of 112 units (Project). The 6.23 acre Project site is located at 5061 East Tulare Avenue in Fresno, CA (APN 462-042-25).
Project Scope
The Project consists of a 112 unit senior housing complex with a 3,051 square foot clubhouse. Operational hours will be between 8 AM – 5 PM. A resident manager will be onsite 24 hours.
Based on information provided to the District, Project specific annual emissions from construction and operation emissions of criteria p ollutants are not expected to exceed any of the following District significance thresholds: 100 tons per year of carbon monoxide (CO), 10 tons per year of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), 10 tons per year of reactive organic gases (ROG), 27 tons per year of oxides of sulfur (SOx), 15 tons per year of particulate matter of 10 microns or less in size (PM10), or 15 tons per year of particulate matter of
2.5 microns or less in size (PM2.5).
Other potential significant air quality impacts related to Toxic Air Contam inants (see information below under Health Risk Assessment), Ambient Air Quality Standards, Hazards and Odors, may require assessments and mitigation. More information can be found in the District’s Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts at:
https://www.valleyair.org/transportation/GAMAQI_12-26-19.pdf
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 2 District Reference No. 20201028
December 16,, 2020
The District offers the following comments:
1) Project Related Criteria Pollutant Emissions
1a) Construction Emissions:
Although the construction -related emissions are expected to have a less than significant impact, the District suggests that the City advise project proponents with construction-related exhaust emissions and activities resulting in less than significant impact on air quality to utilize the cleanest reasonably available off-road construction fleets and practices (i.e. eliminating unneces sary idling) to further reduce impacts from construction-related exhaust emissions and activities.
1b) Health Risk Screening/Assessment
Located directly east of the Project, is a middle school and residents are located south, west and north of the Project. The Health Risk Assessment should evaluate the risk associated with sensitive receptors in the area and mitigate any potentially significant risk to help limit emission exposure to sensitive receptors.
A Health Risk Screening/Assessment identifies potenti al Toxic Air Contaminants (TAC’s) impact on surrounding sensitive receptors such as hospitals, daycare centers, schools, work-sites, and residences. TAC’s are air pollutants identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment/California A ir Resources Board (OEHHA/CARB) that pose a present or potential hazard to human health.
A common source of TACs can be attributed to diesel exhaust emitted from both mobile and stationary sources. List of TAC’s identified by OEHHA/CARB can be found at:
https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/documents/carb-identified-toxic-air- contaminants
The District recommends the development project (s) be evaluated for potential health impacts to surrounding receptors (on -site and off -site) resulting from operational and multi-year construction TAC emissions.
i) The District recommends conducting a screening analysis that includes all sources of emissions. A screening analysis is used to identify projects which may have a significant health impact. A prioritization, using the latest approved California Air Pollution Control Officer’s Association (CAPCOA) methodology, is the recommended screening method . A prioritization score of 10 or greater is considered to be significant and a refined Health Risk Assessment (HRA) should be performed.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 3 District Reference No. 20201028
December 16,, 2020
For your convenience, the District’s prioritization calculator can be found at:
http:www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/emission_factors/Criteria/Toxics/Utilities/P RIORITIZATION%20RMR%202016.XLS.
ii) The District recommends a refined HRA for development projects that result in a prioritization score of 10 or greater. Prior to performing an HRA, it is recommended that development project applicants contact the District to review the proposed modeling protocol. A development project would be considered to have a significant health risk if the HRA demonstrates that the project related health impacts would exceed the Districts significance threshold of 20 in a million for carcinogenic risk and 1.0 for the Acute and Chronic Hazard Indices, and would trigger all feasible mitigation measures. The District recommends that development projects which result in a significant health risk not be approved.
For HRA submittals, please provide the following information electronically to the District for review:
HRA AERMOD model files
HARP2 files
Summary of emissions source locations, emissions rates, and emission factor calculations and methodology.
More information on toxic emission factors, prioritizations and HRAs can be obtained by:
E-Mailing inquiries to: [email protected]; or
Contacting the District by phone for assistance at (559) 230-6000; or Visiting the Districts website (Modeling Guidance) at:
http://www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/Tox_Resources/AirQualityMonitoring.htm.
1c) Ambient Air Quality Analysis
An ambient air quality analysis (AAQA) uses air dispersion modeling to determine if emissions increases from a project will cause or contribute to a violation of the ambient air quality standards. For development projects t he District recommends that an AAQA be performed for the project if emissions exceed 100 pounds per day of any pollutant.
If an AAQA is performed, the analysis should include emissions from both project specific permitted and non -permitted equipment and activities. The District San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 4 District Reference No. 20201028
December 16,, 2020
recommends consultation with District staff to determine the appropriate model and input data to use in the analysis.
Specific information for assessing significance, including screening tools and modeling guidance is available online at the District’s website www.valleyair.org/ceqa.
2) District Rules and Regulation
The District issues permits for many types of air pollution sources and regulates some activities not requiring permits. A project subject to District rules and regulation would reduce its impacts on air quality through compliance with regulatory requirements. In general, a regulation is a collection of rules, each of which deals with a specific topic.
Here are a couple of example, Regulation II (Permits) deals with permitting emission sources and includes rules such as District permit requirements (Rule 2010), and New and Modified Stationary Source Review (Rule 2201).
2a) District Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review)
The purpose of District Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review) is to reduce the growth in both NOx and PM10 emissions associated with development and transportation projects from mobile and area sources associated with construction and operation of development projects. The rule encourages clean air design elements to be incorporated into the development project. In case the proposed project clean air design elements are insufficient to meet the targeted emission reductions, the rule requires developers to pay a fee used to fund projects to achieve off-site emissions reductions.
The proposed Project is subject to District Rule 9510 because it will receive a project-level approval from a public agency and will equal or exceed 50 residential units. The District has already received the ISR application for the project and it is identified as ISR project # 20200250.
2b) District Regulation VIII (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions)
The Project will be subject to Regulation VIII. The project proponent is required to submit a Construction Notification Form or submit and receive approval of a Dust Control Plan prior to construction. Information on how to comply with Regulation VIII can be found online at:
http://www.valleyair.org/busind/comply/PM10/compliance_PM10.htm.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 5 District Reference No. 20201028
December 16,, 2020
2c) Other District Rules and Regulations
The Project may also be subject to the following District rules: Rule 4102 (Nuisance), Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings), and Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations). In the event an existing building will be renovated, partially demolished or removed, the project may be subject to District Rule 4002 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants).
The list of rules above is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Current District rules can be found online at: www.valleyair.org/rules/1ruleslist.htm. To identify other District rules or regulations that apply to this Project or to obtain information about District permit requirements, the applicant is strongly encouraged to contact the District’s Small Business Assistance (SBA) Office at (559) 230-5888.
3) Potential Air Quality Improvement Measures
The District encourages the following air quality improvement measures to further reduce Project related emissions from construction and operation. A complete list of potential air quality improvement measures can be found online at:
http://www.valleyair.org/ceqaconnected/aqimeasures.aspx.
a. Improve Walkability Design – This measure is to improve design elements to enhance walkability and connectivity. Improved street network character istics within a neighborhood include street accessibility, usually measured in terms of average block size, proportion of four -way intersections, or number of intersections per square mile. Design is also measured in terms of sidewalk coverage, building setbacks, street widths, pedestrian crossings, presence of street trees, and a host of other physical variables that differentiate pedestrian- oriented environments from auto-oriented environments.
b. Improve Destination Accessibility – This measure is to locate the project in an area with high accessibility to destinations. Destination accessibility is measured in terms of the number of jobs or other attractions reachable within a given travel time, which tends to be highest at central locations and lowest at peripheral ones. The location of the project also increases the potential for pedestrians to walk and bike to these destinations and therefore reduces the (vehicle miles traveled) VMT.
c. Increase Transit Accessibility – This measure is to locate the project with high density near transit which will facilitate the use of transit by people traveling to or from the Project site. The use of transit results in a mode shift and therefore reduced VMT. A project with a residential/commercial center designed around San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 6 District Reference No. 20201028
December 16,, 2020
a rail or bus station, is called a transit-oriented development (TOD). The project description should include, at a minimum, the following design features:
A transit station/stop with high -quality, high -frequency bus service located within a 5-10 minute walk (or roughly ¼ mile from stop to edge of development), and/or
A rail station located within a 20 minute walk (or roughly ½ mile from station to edge of development)
Fast, frequent, and reliable transit service connecting to a high percentage of regional destinations
Neighborhood designed for walking and cycling
4) District Comment Letter
The District recommends that a copy of the District’s comments be provided to the Project proponent.

120-UNIT SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
5061 E. TULARE ST.
Dear Ms. Vang,
In response to your request for review and comment on the above planning application for the proposed construction of ‘Azzaro Senior Housing Village,’ a 120-unit housing project for senior citizens, Fresno Unified School District submits the following:
Any urban residential development occurring as a result of project approval will have an impact on the District’s student housing capacity. The District, through local funding, is in a position to partiall y mitigate its shortag e of classrooms to accommodate planned population growth for the foreseeable future. However, the District recognizes that the legislature, as a matter of law, has deemed, under Gove rnment Code Section 65996, that all school facilities impacts are mitigated as a consequence of SB 50’s Level 1, 2 and 3 developer fee legislative provisions.
Any new development on the subject proper ty is subject to development fees of $0.66 per square foot for senior housing development. Any new development on the property will be subject to the developm ent fee prior to issuance of a building permit.
The senior housing units would be charged the commercial/indus trial rate of developer fees, per Government Code section 65995.1:
“(S)enior citizen residential projects shall be charged the co mmercial/industrial fee and shall be subject to the limits and conditions of commercial development. Later conversion of a ‘senior citizen’ unit to a ‘non-senior citizen’ unit requires payment of the difference between the amount previously paid and the maximum residential fee in place at the time of conversion. The District requires that senior citizen housing proj ects paying the lower rate include agreement with the District to pay the higher fee as described above, if any units are converted to ‘non-senior’ housing. This agreement shall be recorded as a covenant running with the land.”
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If you have any questions or require additional information regarding our comments and concerns, please contact our office at (559) 457-3066.

NOTICE OF REQUIREMENTS
7. The Federal Clean Water Act and the State General Permits for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Industrial Activities (State General Permits) require developers of construction projects disturbing one or more acres, and discharges associated with industrial activity not otherwise exempt from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, to implement controls to reduce pollutants, prohibit the discharge of waters other than storm water to the municipal storm drain system, and meet water quality standards.
These requirements apply both to pollutants generated during construction, and to those which may be generated by operations at the development after construction.
a.
State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities, effective July 1, 2010, as amended. A State General Construction Permit is required for all clearing, grading, and disturbances to the ground that result in soil disturbance of at least one acre (or less than one acre) if part of a larger common plan of development or sale). Permittees are required to: submit a Notice of Intent and Permit Registration Documents to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board), develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site inspections, train employees in permit compliance, and complete an annual certification of compliance.
b.
State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities, April, 2014 (available at the District Office). A State General Industrial Permit is required for specific types of industries described in the NPDES regulations or by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. The following categories of industries are generally required to secure an industrial permit: manufacturing; trucking; recycling; and waste and hazardous waste management. Specific exemptions exist for manufacturing activities which occur entirely indoors. Permittees are required to: submit a Notice of Intent to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources Control Board, develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site inspections, train employees in permit compliance, sample storm water runoff and test it for pollutant indicators, and annually submit a report to the State Board.
c.
The proposed development is encouraged to select and implement storm water quality controls recommended in the Fresno-Clovis Storm Water Quality Management Construction and Post-Construction Guidelines (available at the District Office) to meet the requirements of the State General Permits, eliminate the potential for non-storm water to enter the municipal storm drain system, and where possible minimize contact with materials which may contaminate storm water runoff.
8. A requirement of the District may be appealed by filing a written notice of appeal with the Secretary of the District within ten days of the date of this Notice of Requirements.
9. The District reserves the right to modify, reduce or add to these requirements, or revise fees, as necessary to accommodate changes made in the proposed development by the developer or requirements made by other agencies.

NOTICE OF REQUIREMENTS
The District
’
s existing Master Plan drainage system is designed to serve medium-low density residential uses and the existing Master Plan storm drainage facilities do not have capacity to serve the proposed high density residential land use. The developer shall be required to mitigate the impacts of the increased runoff from the proposed high density residential land use to a rate that would be expected if developed to medium-low density residential land use.
The developer may either make improvements to the existing pipeline system to provide additional capacity or may use some type of permanent peak reducing facility in order to eliminate adverse impacts on the existing system. Should the developer choose to construct a permanent peak-reducing facility, such a system would be required to reduce runoff from a ten-year storm produced by a high density residential development, to a two-year discharge, which would be produced by the property if developed medium-low density residential.
Implementation of the mitigation measures may be deferred until the time of development.
In an effort to improve storm runoff quality, outdoor storage areas shall be constructed and maintained such that material that may generate contaminants will be prevented from contact with rainfall and runoff and thereby prevent the conveyance of contaminants in runoff into the storm drain system.
The District encourages, but does not require that roof drains from non-residential development be constructed such that they are directed onto and through a landscaped grassy swale area to filter out pollutants from roof runoff.

Dear Ms. Vang,
Plan Amendment and Rezone Application No. P19-05889
Drainage Area “Y”
The District has reviewed the land use changes proposed through the subject rezone and plan amendment. The District’s existing Master Plan drainage system was designed to serve medium-low density residential uses and it does not have the capacity to accommodate the increased runoff generated by the proposed high density residential land use.
The District requests that as a condition of the rezone and plan amendment, the developer be required to mitigate the impacts of the increased runoff from the high residential land use to a rate that would be expected if developed to a medium-low density residential land use. The developer may either make improvements to the existing pipeline system to provide additional capacity or may use some type of permanent peak reducing facility in order to eliminate adverse impacts on the existing system. Implementation of the mitigation measures may be deferred until the time of development.
Should the developer choose to construct a permanent peak reducing facility, this system would be required to retain runoff from a ten-year storm produced by the high density residential land use development and release a two-year discharge, which would be produced by the property if developed at a medium-low density residential land use. The developer will be required to submit improvement plans to the District for review and approval showing the proposed method of mitigation prior to implementation.
Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact the District.
Very truly yours,
Gary Chapman
