Exhibit C
FRESNO MUNICIPAL CODE CRITERIA
FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS
(P25-00974)
Chapter 15 of the Citywide Development Code, under Article 58, Section 15-5811 provides the criteria for recommendation by the Planning Commission to the City Council in consideration of an application for a Development Code Text Amendment as follows:
Findi
ngs per Section 15-5811
Criteria A-1: The Code text amendment is consistent with the General Plan, the Fresno County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (as may be amended) adopted by the Fresno County Airport Land Use Commission pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Sections 21670-21679.5, and any applicable operative plans.
The proposed text amendment is consistent with General Plan goals, objectives, and policies to increase opportunity, economic development, business, and job creation. The proposed text amendment will allow for an increase in business development and create jobs for sustained economic growth throughout the city of Fresno for those drive-through-related projects that are impacted by a public work project.
There will not be a conflict with the Fr esno County Airport Land Use Compatibility P lan as the text amendment does not affect the airports or air port land uses.
Criteria A-2: The amendment is consistent with the purpose of the Development Code to promote the growth of the city in an orderly and sustainable manner and to promote and protect the public health, safety, peace, comfort, and general welfare.
The proposed text amendment is consistent with the provisions of the Citywide Development Code as the text amendment would only allow those businesses with drive-through facilities to relocate to a property within 1 mile of the original location and within 100 feet of a planned or existing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station. This would ensure businesses of this nature will remain near similar uses along a high transit corridor, thus, promoting orderly and sustainable growth to protect the public health, safety, peace, comfort, and general welfare.
