Subject: August 6, 2025, Fresno City Planning Commission meeting; Item ID 25-1007 Dear Commission Members;
We are opposed to annexation of land in the Southeast Development Area Specific plan. This annexation of Fresno County AE-20 Exclusive Agriculture to Fresno City RS-4 Single-Family Residential, Medium Low Density in this project, even though it is outside the SEDA plan, is just one more step of converting the existing rural way of life people have chosen to Urban Sprawl. Several reasons against the proposal are:
1. Approval of this item continues the conversion of farmland and by itself does not appear significant, however it contributes to the cumulative impact of the steady erosion and destruction of the most productive farmland in the State that surrounds the City of Fresno.
2. Approval of this item will impact the productive almond and citrus orchards immediately south of the project and McKinley Avenue.
The use of crop protective pesticides and wind machines may be curtailed due to noise, odor or pesticide drift potential.
3. While the former Thompson/Hayward pesticide EPA Superfund Site immediately south of the project has been declared clean removed from the EPA Superfund Site status the California Regional Water Quality Board issued a Clean Letter that restricts the Fr esno Metropolitan Flood District from flooding the
Red Bank flood control basin. The letter stated that flooding the basin could not result in the groundwater level to rise within 100 feet of the ground surface.
Thank You for considering our concerns.
Dr. David Ramming
SEPO Vice President
