Summary of Neighborhood Outreach
Required Neighborhood Meeting
On February 8, 2021, a letter to property owners within 1,000 feet of the subject property (APN: 329-100-52) was sent notifying them of a Neighborhood Meeting to occur on February 18, 2021. The buffer map is attached as Exhibit A and the letter is attached as Exhibit B. The meeting was held virtually by Zoom with the option to call-in. We received two (2) general inquiries by phone in advance of the meeting. Both inquiries were from property owners within the Project area who expressed their support of the Project. No opposition to the Project was expressed.
The Neighborhood Meeting held on February 18, 2021, began at 6:00 pm. Thirteen participations were in attendance, including three representatives from Crown Enterprises, two representatives from Precision Civil Engineering, three representatives from the City of Fresno, and one representative from Fresno County LAFCO. A sign-in sheet was not circulated as the meeting was conducted virtually, but a photo of the Zoom Participants List is attached as Exhibit C.
Precision Civil Engineering presented a brief overview of the proposed annexation boundary and project (See Project Description attached as Exhibit D). Participants were shown images of the boundary map, site location, and layout. Precision Civil Engineering provided detailed information about what the neighborhood could expect from the Project (i.e., annexation benefits, etc.).
During Q&A after the presentation, two (2) individuals asked questions. Both individuals represented property owners outside of the proposed annexation boundary. Their questions were about their interest in being included in the annexation process and/or their support of the annexation. The meeting concluded at 6:45 pm.
