The cost of construction of Master Plan facilities, excluding dedication of storm drainage easements, is eligible for credit against the drainage fee of the drainage area served by the facilities. A Development Agreement shall be executed with the District to effect such credit.
Reimbursement provisions, in accordance with the Drainage Fee Ordinance, will be included to the extent that developer
’
s Master Plan costs for an individual drainage area exceed the fee of said area. Should the facilities cost for such individual area total less than the fee of said area, the difference shall be paid upon demand to the City or District.
No surface runoff shall be directed towards the District basin. The District requests that the grading Engineer contact the District as early as possible to review the proposed site grading for verification and acceptance of grades at our mutual property line prior to preparing a grading plan.
The District recommends a single fence between the site and the District ’
s basin. The developer
should contact the District so that alternatives to a dual fence can be reviewed. If a fence other than the existing chain link fence is proposed, District review and approval of the proposed fence is required.
Permanent drainage service is available to that portion of Tract 6397
that drains to the east as
shown on Exhibit No.
1 . The portion of Tract
6397
that drains to the west to Cornelia Avenue will
not have permanent service. The District recommends temporary facilities for the western portion until permanent service is available.
The Master Plan system has been designed such that during a two-year event flow will not exceed the height of the
6 -inch curb. Should wedge curb (
4.5 inches height) be used the same criteria
shall apply whereby flow remains below the top of curb. Any extensions or pipe size increases due to meeting the requirement listed above shall be at the developer ’
s expense.
Lot coverage must be provided to the District prior to submittal of improvement plans. The final drainage fee will be calculated commensurate with the lot coverage provided by the developer. If the lot coverage indicates a density higher than Master Planned, mitigation may be required. The lot coverage calculated by the District includes the front yard walkway, sidewalk walkway and the rear yard patio equaling an additional
6%

Fresno, CA 93721
Project: Tentative Tract Map No. 6397 – P23-01677
District CEQA Reference No: 20241154
Dear Mr. Perez:
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the tentative tract map (TTM) from the City of Fresno (City) for the residential development project.
Per the TTM, the project consists of 26 single-family homes (Project). The Project is located 1732 N. Cornelia Avenue in Fresno, CA.
The District offers the following comments at this time regarding the Project:
Project Related Emissions
At the federal level under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the District is designated as extreme nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone standards and serious nonattainment for the particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in size (PM2.5) standards. At the state level under California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS), the District is designated as nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone, PM10, and PM2.5 standards.
Based on information provided to the District, Project specific annual criteria pollutant emissions from construction and operation are not expected to exceed any of the significance thresholds as identified in the District’s Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI):
https://ww2.valleyair.org/media/g4nl3p0g/gamaqi.pdf.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 2 of 7 District Reference No: 20241154
October 25, 2024
Construction Emissions
The District recommends, to reduce impacts from construction-related diesel exhaust emissions, the Project should utilize the cleanest available off-road construction equipment.
Health Risk Screening/Assessment
The City should evaluate the risk associated with the Project for sensitive receptors (residences, businesses, hospitals, day-care facilities, health care facilities, etc.) in the area and mitigate any potentially significant risk to help limit exposure of sensitive receptors to emissions.
To determine potential health impacts on surrounding receptors (residences, businesses, hospitals, day-care facilities, health care facilities, etc.) a Prioritization and/or a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) should be performed for the Project. These health risk determinations should quantify and characterize potential Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment/California Air Resources Board (OEHHA/CARB) that pose a present or potential hazard to human health.
Health risk analyses should include all potential air emissions from the project, which include emissions from construction of the project, including multi-year construction, as well as ongoing operational activities of the project. Note, two common sources of TACs can be attributed to diesel exhaust emitted from heavy-duty off-road earth moving equipment during construction, and from ongoing operation of heavy-duty on-road trucks.
Prioritization (Screening Health Risk Assessment):
A “Prioritization” is the recommended method for a conservative screening-level health risk assessment. The Prioritization should be performed using the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association’s (CAPCOA) methodology. Please contact the District for assistance with performing a Prioritization analysis.
The District recommends that a more refined analysis, in the form of an HRA, be performed for any project resulting in a Prioritization score of 10 or greater. This is because the prioritization results are a conservative health risk representation, while the detailed HRA provides a more accurate health risk evaluation.
Health Risk Assessment:
Prior to performing an HRA, it is strongly recommended that land use agencies/ project proponents develop and submit for District review a health risk modeling protocol that outlines the sources and methodologies that will be used to perform the HRA.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 3 of 7 District Reference No: 20241154
October 25, 2024
A development project would be considered to have a potentially significant health risk if the HRA demonstrates that the health impacts would exceed the District’s established risk thresholds, which can be found here:
https://ww2.valleyair.org/permitting/ceqa/.
A project with a significant health risk would trigger all feasible mitigation measures.
The District strongly recommends that development projects that result in a significant health risk not be approved by the land use agency.
The District is available to review HRA protocols and analyses. For HRA submittals please provide the following information electronically to the District for review:
• HRA (AERMOD) modeling files
• HARP2 files
• Summary of emissions source locations, emissions rates, and emission factor calculations and methodologies.
For assistance, please contact the District’s Technical Services Department by:
• E-Mailing inquiries to: [email protected]
• Calling (559) 230-5900
Recommended Measure: Development projects resulting in TAC emissions should be located an adequate distance from residential areas and other sensitive receptors to prevent the creation of a significant health risk in accordance to CARB's Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective located at https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/resource-center/strategy- development/land-use-resources.
Vegetative Barriers and Urban Greening
There are residential units located in all directions within close proximity of the Project. The District suggests the City consider the feasibility of incorporating vegetative barriers and urban greening as a measure to further reduce air pollution exposure on sensitive receptors (e.g., residential units).
While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, vegetative barriers have been shown to be an additional measure to potentially reduce a population’s exposure to air pollution through the interception of airborne particles and the update of gaseous pollutants. Examples of vegetative barriers include, but are not limited to the following: trees, bushes, shrubs, or a mix of these. Generally, a higher and thicker vegetative barrier with full coverage will result in greater reductions in downwind pollutant concentrations. In the same manner, urban greening is also a way to help San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 4 of 7 District Reference No: 20241154
October 25, 2024
improve air quality and public health in addition to enhancing the overall beautification of a community with drought tolerant, low-maintenance greenery.
Clean Lawn and Garden Equipment in the Community
Since the Project consists of residential development, gas-powered residential lawn and garden equipment have the potential to result in an increase of NOx and PM2.5 emissions. Utilizing electric lawn care equipment can provide residents with immediate economic, environmental, and health benefits. The District recommends the Project proponent consider the District’s Clean Green Yard Machines (CGYM) program which provides incentive funding for replacement of existing gas powered lawn and garden equipment. More information on the District CGYM program and funding can be found at: https://ww2.valleyair.org/grants/clean-green-yard- machines-residential/
and https://ww2.valleyair.org/grants/zero-emission-landscaping-equipment-voucher- program/.
On-Site Solar Deployment
It is the policy of the State of California that renewable energy resources and zero- carbon resources supply 100% of retail sales of electricity to California end-use customers by December 31, 2045. While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, the production of solar energy is contributing to improving air quality and public health. The District suggests that the City consider incorporating solar power systems as an emission reduction strategy for the Project.
District Rules and Regulations
The District issues permits for many types of air pollution sources, and regulates some activities that do not require permits. A project subject to District rules and regulations would reduce its impacts on air quality through compliance with the District’s regulatory framework. In general, a regulation is a collection of individual rules, each of which deals with a specific topic. As an example, Regulation II (Permits) includes District Rule 2010 (Permits Required), Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review), Rule 2520 (Federally Mandated Operating Permits), and several other rules pertaining to District permitting requirements and processes.
The list of rules below is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Current District rules can be found online at: https://ww2.valleyair.org/rules-and-planning/current-district-rules- and-regulations. To identify other District rules or regulations that apply to future projects, or to obtain information about District permit requirements, the project proponents are strongly encouraged to contact the District’s Small Business Assistance (SBA) Office at (559) 230-5888.

District Rules 2010 and 2201 - Air Quality Permitting for Stationary Sources
Stationary Source emissions include any building, structure, facility, or installation which emits or may emit any affected pollutant directly or as a fugitive emission. District Rule 2010 (Permits Required) requires operators of emission sources to obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) and Permit to Operate (PTO) from the District. District Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review) requires that new and modified stationary sources of emissions mitigate their emissions using Best Available Control Technology (BACT).
This Project may be subject to District Rule 2010 (Permits Required) and Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review) and may require District permits. Prior to construction, the Project proponent should submit to the District an application for an ATC. For further information or assistance, the project proponent may contact the District’s SBA Office at (559) 230-5888.
District Rule 9510 - Indirect Source Review (ISR)
The District has reviewed the information provided and has determined the project size is below the District Rule 9510, section 2.1 applicability threshold of 50 dwelling units for a residential development. Therefore, District Rule 9510 requirements and related fees do not apply to the project.
District Rule 9410 (Employer Based Trip Reduction)
The Project may be subject to District Rule 9410 (Employer Based Trip Reduction) if the project would result in employment of 100 or more “eligible” employees. District Rule 9410 requires employers with 100 or more “eligible” employees at a worksite to establish an Employer Trip Reduction Implementation Plan (eTRIP) that encourages employees to reduce single- occupancy vehicle trips, thus reducing pollutant emissions associated with work commutes. Under an eTRIP plan, employers have the flexibility to select the options that work best for their worksites and their employees.

Comments
This is in response to Planned Development Application No. P23-01677, in which the applicant requests to subdivide the property located on the east side of North Cornelia Avenue, Between West McKinley and West Hedges Avenue, into 26 single-family lots.
The District has reviewed the request regarding the above-referenced development and has no intention of pursuing this property for a school site in our Facilities Master Plan.
The proposed development will produce 26 single-family dwelling units. The current accumulated student generation rate for Central Unified School District is approximately 0.52.
The breakdown for grade level is as follows:
26 Single Family:
Grade level: TK - 6 Units: 26, Student Generation Rate: 0.33, Students generated: 8.58, School of Attendance: Herndon Barstow/ Harvest Elementary.
Grade level: 7-8, Units: 26 Students Generation Rate: 0.05, Students generated:1.30, School of Attendance: Glacier Point Middle School.
Grade level:9-12, Units: 236, Students Generation Rate:0.14, Students generated: 3.64, School of Attendance: Justin Garza High School.
The 26 single-family homes and the District's 0.52 current student generation rate will produce approximately 14 students. Of the 14 students, nine will be in the TK-6 grade level, one will be in the 7-8 grade level, and Four will be in the 9-12 grade level. With the District's current attendance area boundaries, students from this development will attend McKinley Elementary, El Capitan Middle School, and Central High School. Attendance area boundaries are utilized to balance enrollment and are, therefore, subject to change.
Due to the increased traffic that this development would create, there would be an urgent need to provide our students who walk to school with safety support improvements such as High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (H.A.W.K.) systems, street lights, signal lights, and road widening, along the main streets. Without the necessary safety improvements, additional traffic congestion would increase the number of safety hazards for our students. The safety of our students is our highest priority.
Impacts from the proposed development may also result in the need for additional classroom(s). The District's current Developer Fee Rates fall under Level I at $5.17 per square foot for residential and $0.84 per square foot for commercial developments. Developer
fees are assessed annually and are therefore subject to change based on factors that impact growth within the District.

The installation of new gas and electric facilities and/or relocation of existing PG&E facilities will be performed in accordance with common law or Rules and Tariffs as authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission. Following our review, PG&E recommends the following language be expressly stated for the offer to dedicate Public Utility Easements (PUE):
I/We the undersigned, as Owner(s) of the l and shown hereon, do hereby state that I/we am/are the only person(s) whose consent is necessary to pass clear title to said land and do hereby consent to the preparation and recordation of this map and offer for dedication and do hereby dedicate for public uses the Public Utility Easements (PUEs) shown on this map for public utility purposes including electric, gas, communication facilities and all other public utility purposes; together with any and all appurtenances thereto, including the right from time to time to trim and to cut down and clear away or otherwise control any trees or brush. The PUEs hereby offered for dedication are to be kept open and free of buildings, structures and wells of any kind.
The final map must contain a statement setting forth dedications and offers to dedicate interests in real property for public utility purposes. If the offer of dedication has terminated, or the local agency declines to accept it, the applicant maybe required to provide an easement in gross satisfactory to PG&E. Please note that this is our preliminary review and PG&E reserves the right for future review as needed. Please work with PG&E’s Service Planning department at www.pge.com/cco for additional services you may require, or for any modification and/or relocation requests.
Sincerely,
Alexa Boyd - Land Management
