GENERAL COMMENTS and CONDITIONS

1. This project shall pay its Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact (TSMI) Fee per the Master Fee Schedule at the time of building permit.

The TSMI fee facilitates project impact mitigation to the City of Fresno Traffic Signal infrastructure so that costs are applied to each new project/building based on the generated ADT. The TSMI fee is credited against traffic signal installation/modifications and/or Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) improvements (constructed at their ultimate location) that plan to build out the General Plan circulation element and are included in the Nexus Study for the TSMI fee. If the project is conditioned with traffic signal improvements in excess of their TSMI fee amount, the applicant may apply for fee credits (security/bonding and/or developer agreement required) and/or reimbursement for work in excess of their fee as long as the infrastructure is in place at the ultimate location. The applicant should work with the Public Works Department and identify, with a Professional Engineers estimate, the costs associated with the improvements prior to paying the TSMI fee to determine any applicable fee credits and/or reimbursements.

For project specific impacts that are not consistent with the General Plan, Public Works Standards, and/or are not incorporated into the TSMI fees, the infrastructur e costs will not be eligible. Failure to pay this fee or construct improvements that are credited/reimbursable with this fee will result in a significant unmitigated impact as this fee is applied to all projects within the City Sphere of Influence.

2. This project shall pay its Fresno Major Street Impact (FMSI) Fee, which will be determined at the time of building permit. This FMSI fee is creditable towards major street roadway improvements included in the nexus study for the FMSI fee.

3. The project shall pay the Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee (RTMF). Pay the RTMF fee to the Joint Powers Agency located at 2035 Tulare Street, Suite 201, Fresno, CA 93721; (559) 233- 4148, ext. 200; www.fresnocog.org. Provide proof of payment or exemption, based on vesting rights, prior to issuance of building permits.

4. The proposed project shall pay th e $665 Traffic Study review fee for review of the document per the City’s Master Fee Schedule. Proof of payment shall be provided to the Traffic & Engineering Service Division, Traffic Planning Section.

5. The proposed project shall construct safe route to school asphalt paths, four feet in width, along the west side of Armstrong Avenue from the southern project boundary to Church Avenue and along the south side of Church Avenue from Ar mstrong Avenue to t he existing s idewalk (approximately 0.2 miles east of the Fowler and Church intersection) prior to occupancy of any dwelling unit.

6. The proposed project shall install high -visibility school crosswalks at the intersection of Armstrong and Church Avenues prior to the occupancy of any dwelling unit.

1. This is a 202-lot public street subdivision. All lots are inside the fire 4 -minute response time. This tract is within 3 miles of Fire Station 15. There are no development restrictions on this tract regarding fire service response.

2. The existing parcels are in the County and annexation is required. A fire service transition fee must be paid to the Fresno County Fire Protection District as a condition of service area transfer.

3. Each lot in the sub-division will be subject to payment of the city wide fire service delivery impact fee as a condition of each house building permit.

4. Any development project proposed for annexation to the City of Fresno has the potential to increase call volume related to fire and emergency medical incident response. Within the project area, the Fire Department can currently meet the projected demands f or emergency response service. The overall effect of future development on service delivery can assume that calls for service and response times will likely increase as a denser population develops; this will be monitored closely as development occurs in the area. Increased service demand may necessitate the need for additional staffing and fire apparatus at the impacted existing fire stations. Additional Fire Prevention Division staff will also be required to maintain existing levels of service for inspections of new buildings during construction, and maintenance inspections after buildings are constructed.

5. There are no relevant COF Public Works Standards for these streets shown on the plan.

Call out with a cloud or delta and note on plan as the standards are required to be placed on the plans prior to any formal approval of this plan. FFD staff are unable to determine if there will be any on street parking restrictions.

6. No turn radii are shown on this plan. Show on plans: All turn radii must be in conformance with FFD access requirements as noted in FFD Policy #403.002 prior to final approval of this map.

7. Note on plan and show: Install 8 -inch minimum public water mains throughout the development per Public Utilities and Fire Department requirements for local residential streets. Public water main extensions with at least two points of connection to the existing 14” water main in N. Armstrong is required. Provide public hydrants at single family home residential spacing per FFD and Public Utilities requirements.

8. Note on plan and show: There are no fire hydrants shown on plans. Provide public fire hydrants per Public Works and Public Utilities requirements for residential subdivisions with a minimum fire flow of 1500 gpm at a residual pressure of 20 psi with fire h ydrants

spaced no more than 600 feet apart with two points of connection.

9. Note on plan and show: Provide public water mains and fire hydrants per Public Utilities and FFD-requirements for single family home development. Hydrant locations will be reviewed upon review of the water plans submitted to Public Utilities.

10. Call out with a cloud or delta and note on plan: Fire hydrants must be inspected and in service (approved) prior to the delivery of combustible material to the location.

11. Call out with a cloud or delta and note on plan: All weather fire access must be provided, inspected and in service (approved) prior to the delivery of combustible material to the location. All weather fire access must be maintained throughout the project without interruption. FFD Policy #403.002.

12. No phasing of construction has been proposed by developer.

13. Call out with a cloud or delta and note on plan: It is the permit applicant’s obligation to confirm and comply with all fire & life safety provisions per '22 CFC §106.2.3.

The proposed development will generate storm runoff which produces potentially significant environmental impacts and which must be properly discharged and mitigated pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The District in cooperation with the City and County has developed and adopted the Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan. Compliance with and implementation of this Master Plan by this development project will satisfy the drainage related CEQA/NEPA impact of the project mitigation requirements.

Pursuant to the District
’
s Development Review Fee Policy, the subject project shall pay review fees for issuance of this Notice of Requirements (NOR) and any plan submittals requiring the District ’
s reviews. The NOR fee shall be paid to the District by Developer before the Notice of Requirement will be submitted to the City. The Grading Plan fee shall be paid upon first submittal. The Storm Drain Plan fee shall be paid prior to return/pick up of first submittal.

The proposed development shall pay drainage fees pursuant to the Drainage Fee Ordinance prior to issuance of a building permit at the rates in effect at the time of such issuance. The fee indicated above is valid through 2/28/26
based on the site plan
submitted to the District on
4/03/25
Contact FMFCD for a revised fee in cases where changes are made in the proposed site plan which materially alter the proposed impervious area.

Considerations which may affect the fee obligation(s) or the timing or form of fee payment:
a.)
Fees related to undeveloped or phased portions of the project may be deferrable. b.)
Fees may be calculated based on the actual percentage of runoff if different than that typical for the zone district under which the development is being undertaken and if permanent provisions are made to assure that the site remains in that configuration.
c.)
Creditable storm drainage facilities may be constructed, or required to be constructed in lieu of paying fees. d.)
The actual cost incurred in constructing Creditable drainage system facilities is credited against the drainage fee obligation.
e.)
When the actual costs incurred in constructing Creditable facilities exceeds the drainage fee obligation, reimbursement will be made for the excess costs from future fees collected by the District from other development. f.)
Any request for a drainage fee refund requires the entitlement cancellation and a written request addressed to the General Manager of the District within 60 days from payment of the fee. A non refundable $300 Administration fee or 5% of the refund whichever is less will be retained without fee credit. 5469 E. OLIVE - FRESNO, CA 93727 - (559) 456-3292 - FAX (559) 456-3194

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.

Limits Of Tract 6376v.1
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.

The construction of the
“
Optional Master Plan Facilities
”
as shown on Exhibit No.
1 will provide
permanent drainage service to Tract
6376
v.
1 . If these optional facilities are not constructed, the District recommends temporary facilities until permanent service is available.

The developer shall dedicate a minimum thirty foot (
30 ') wide storm drain easement as shown on
Exhibit No.
1 , whenever storm drain facilities are located on private property. No encroachments into the easement will be permitted including, but not limited to, foundations, roof overhangs, swimming pools, and trees.

The minimum finished floor elevation for that portion of Tract 6376
v.
1 draining to Armstrong
Avenue shall be
320.50
(U.S.G.S. Datum). For the remainder of Tract
6376
v.
1 draining to the
west, the minimum finish floor elevation shall be
318.60
(U.S.G.S. Datum).

The developer must identify what streets will pass the major storm and provide calculations that show structures will have adequate flood protection. The developer should be aware that based on historical drainage patterns some of the streets located within the tract may need to be resized to pass larger event storms. District approval is not extended to street configuration. The developer may submit a drainage report indicating the path of the major storm flow and calculations confirming there is adequate protection of finished floors.

The site shall not block the historical drainage patterns of existing development to remain along the perimeter of the tract, including runoff from the existing Railroad located north of the proposed development. The developer shall verify to the satisfaction of the District that runoff from these areas has the ability to surface drain to adjacent streets.

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%
of impervious area in addition to the City
’
s typical lot
coverage calculation.

City of Fresno
Planning and Development Department
2600 Fresno St. #3043
Fresno, CA 93721
Project: P21-05372 Vesting Tentative Map No. 6376
District CEQA Reference No: 20221569
Dear Mr. Holt:

The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the Vesting Tentative Map (VTM) from the City of Fresno (City) for the KB homes housing Development on California & Armstrong. Per the VTM, the project consists of approximately 34.70 acres of property to subdivide into 172 lots for single-family homes (Project). The Project is located at the west side of South Armstrong Avenue, between the San Joaquin Valley Railroad and East Pitt Avenue in Fresno, CA.

The District offers the following comments 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, PM2.5 standards.

The District’s initial review of the Project concludes that emissions resulting from construction and/or operation of the Project may exceed any of the following significance thresholds as identified in the District’s Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts: https://www.valleyair.org/transportation/GAMAQI.pdf.

The District recommends that a more detailed preliminary review of the Project be conducted for the Project’s construction and operational emissions.

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 2 of 9 District Reference No: 20221569
December 14, 2022

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, including the latest tier equipment.

Operational Emissions

Operational (ongoing) air emissions from mobile sources and stationary sources should be analyzed separately. For reference, the District’s significance thresholds are identified in the District’s Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts:
https://www.valleyair.org/transportation/GAMAQI.pdf.

Recommended Mitigation Measure: At a minimum, project related impacts on air quality should be reduced to levels of significance through incorporation of design elements such as the use of cleaner Heavy Heavy-Duty (HHD) trucks and vehicles, measures that reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMTs), and measures that increase energy efficiency. More information on transportation mitigation measures can be found at:
http://www.valleyair.org/transportation/Mitigation-Measures.pdf.

Recommended Model for Quantifying Air Emissions

Project-related criteria pollutant emissions from construction and operational sources should be identified and quantified. Emissions analysis should be performed using the California Emission Estimator Model (CalEEMod), which uses the most recent CARB-approved version of relevant emissions models and emission factors. CalEEMod is available to the public and can be downloaded from the CalEEMod website at: www.caleemod.com.

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.

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 3 of 9 District Reference No: 20221569
December 14, 2022

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.

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.

To assist land use agencies and project proponents with Prioritization analyses, the District has created a prioritization calculator based on the aforementioned CAPCOA guidelines, which can be found here:
http://www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/emission_factors/Criteria/Toxics/Utilities/PRIORI TIZATION-CALCULATOR.xls

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. This step will ensure all components are addressed when performing the HRA.

A development project would be considered to have a potentially significant health risk if the HRA demonstrates that the project-related health impacts would exceed the District’s significance threshold of 20 in a million for carcinogenic risk, or 1.0 for either the Acute or Chronic Hazard Indices.

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
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 4 of 9 District Reference No: 20221569
December 14, 2022

 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 in accordance to CARB's Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective located at https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/ch/handbook.pdf.

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 State or National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The District recommends an AAQA be performed for the Project if emissions exceed 100 pounds per day of any pollutant.

An acceptable analysis would include emissions from both project-specific permitted and non-permitted equipment and activities. The District 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.

Voluntary Emission Reduction Agreement

Criteria pollutant emissions may result in emissions exceeding the District’s significance thresholds, potentially resulting in a significant impact on air quality.

When a project is expected to have a significant impact, the District recommends the environmental review also include a discussion on the feasibility of implementing a Voluntary Emission Reduction Agreement (VERA) for this Project.

A VERA is a mitigation measure by which the project proponent provides pound-for- pound mitigation of emissions increases through a process that develops, funds, and implements emission reduction projects, with the District serving a role of administrator of the emissions reduction projects and verifier of the successful mitigation effort. To implement a VERA, the project proponent and the District enter into a contractual agreement in which the project proponent agrees to mitigate project specific emissions by providing funds for the District’s incentives programs.

The funds are disbursed by the District in the form of grants for projects that achieve San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 5 of 9 District Reference No: 20221569
December 14, 2022

emission reductions. Thus, project-related impacts on air quality can be mitigated.

Types of emission reduction projects that have been funded in the past include electrification of stationary internal combustion engines (such as agricultural irrigation pumps), replacing old heavy-duty trucks with new, cleaner, more efficient heavy-duty trucks, and replacement of old farm tractors.

In implementing a VERA, the District verifies the actual emission reductions that have been achieved as a result of completed grant contracts, monitors the emission reduction projects, and ensures the enforceability of achieved reductions. After the project is mitigated, the District certifies to the Lead Agency that the mitigation is completed, providing the Lead Agency with an enforceable mitigation measure demonstrating that project-related emissions have been mitigated. To assist the Lead Agency and project proponent in ensuring that the environmental document is compliant with CEQA, the District recommends the environmental document includes an assessment of the feasibility of implementing a VERA.

Vegetative Barriers and Urban Greening

There are residential units located north 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 (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 improve air quality and public health in addition to enhancing the overall beautification of a community with drought tolerant, low-maintenance greenery.

Electric Vehicle Chargers

To support and accelerate the installation of electric vehicle charging equipment and development of required infrastructure, the District offers incentives to public agencies, businesses, and property owners of multi-unit dwellings to install electric charging infrastructure (Level 2 and 3 chargers). The purpose of the District’s Charge Up! Incentive program is to promote clean air alternative-fuel technologies and the use of low or zero-emission vehicles. The District recommends that the City and project proponents install electric vehicle chargers at project sites, and at strategic locations.

Please visit www.valleyair.org/grants/chargeup.htm for more information.

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: www.valleyair.org/rules/1ruleslist.htm. 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 Rule 9510 - Indirect Source Review (ISR)

The Project is subject to District Rule 9510 because it will receives a project- level discretionary approval from a public agency and will equal or exceed the 50 dwelling unit threshold of residential development projects.

The purpose of District Rule 9510 is to reduce the growth in both NOx and PM emissions associated with development and transportation projects from mobile and area sources; specifically, the emissions associated with the construction and subsequent operation of development projects. The ISR Rule requires developers to mitigate their NOx and PM emissions by incorporating clean air design elements into their projects. Should the proposed development project clean air design elements be insufficient to meet the required emission reductions, developers must pay a fee that ultimately funds incentive projects to achieve off-site emissions reductions.

Per Section 5.0 of the ISR Rule, an Air Impact Assessment (AIA) application is required to be submitted no later than applying for project-level approval from a public agency. As of the date of this letter, the District has not received an AIA application for this Project. Please inform the project proponent to immediately submit an AIA application to the District to comply with District Rule 9510. One AIA application should be submitted for the entire Project. It is preferable for the applicant to submit an AIA application as early as possible in the City’s approval process so that proper mitigation and clean air design under ISR can be incorporated into the City’s analysis.

http://www.valleyair.org/ISR/ISRHome.htm.

The AIA application form can be found online at:
http://www.valleyair.org/ISR/ISRFormsAndApplications.htm.

District Rule 4002 (National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants)

The Project will be subject to District Rule 4002 since the Project will include demolition, renovation, and removal of existing structures. To protect the public from uncontrolled emissions of asbestos, this rule requires a thorough inspection for asbestos to be conducted before any regulated facility is demolished or renovated. Any asbestos present must be handled in accordance with established work practice standards and disposal requirements.

Information on how to comply with District Rule 4002 can be found online at:
http://www.valleyair.org/busind/comply/asbestosbultn.htm.

District Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings)

Dear Mr. Holt,
Subject: Project Comment for P21-05373; T-6376 Pre-Zone Northwest and Southwest Corners of the E. California Avenue alignment and S.

Armstrong Avenue.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the comments of the Sanger Unified School District on the requested pre-zoning of 34.70 acres from the Fresno County AL20 zone district to the City of Fresno RS-5 zone district. The subject property is located on the northwest and southwest corners of the E. California Avenue alignment and S. Armstrong Avenue. The pre-zoning would allow for the property to be subdivided into 172 single family lots in accordance with proposed Tract 6376, once annexed to the City of Fresno.

The project will generate students that will need to be housed in Sanger Unified schools. Based on the District’s current student g enerations rates, the proposed residential units would generate 73 students in grades TK-6, 17 students in grades 7-8 and 26 students in grades 9-12.

Students in grades TK-6 from the project area would attend Sequ oia Elementary School, located approximately 0.5 miles south of the project site at 1820 S. Ar mstrong Avenue. Sequoia Elementary is operating over its capacity and the students gene rated by the project would add to overcapacity conditions. The District is planning to construct a new elementary school on the west side of Temperance Avenue, north of Church Avenue, which will a lleviate over capacity conditions. Completion of the new school, however, may not occur for a number of years due to a lack of funding availability.

Grades 7-8 students from the pro ject area would attend Washingt on Academic Middle School (WAMS), located at 1705 Tenth Street in Sanger. When completed, grades 7-8 students will attend the new middle school being constructed as part of the new educ ational center at the northeast corner of Fowler and Jensen Avenues.

High School students from the project area would attend Sanger West High School, located at 1850 S. Fowler Avenue. This facility is part of the new educati onal center at the northeast corner of Fowler and Jensen Avenues.

Robert Holt, Planner

New residential development on the project site will be subject to the school facilities fees charged by the District at the time building permits are issued. The re sidential fee is c urrently $4.79 per square foot.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposal. Pleas e let me know if you have any questions on this letter.

Sincerely,

Ryan Kilby
