AGENDA

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 3/18/2025 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR SUBJECT:

Approval of Historic Resources Permit HRA0017-25, a request by BMO Bank to install a new gate and fence at a secondary entrance facing the alley and perform very minor civil improvements. The property is designated as a noncontributing building within the Historic Overlay Zone. The project is located at 230 W. Seventh Street (APN 012-052-014).

RECOMMENDATION:

RECOMMENDATION

1. That the City Council, by motion, adopt Resolution 25-07-R conditionally approving Historic Resources Permit HRA0017-25.

RECOMMENDED MOTION

1. I move to adopt Resolution 25-07-R approving Historic Resources Permit HRA0017-25.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The property is located within the Historic Overlay Zone, shown below – outlined in red.

The property is designated as a noncontributing building in the Historic Overlay Zone, as shown on the Historic Overlay Zone Map – Attachment 1.
“Noncontributing building” means a structure within a historic district which, in its present condition, does not contribute to the sense of time and place of the immediate area and the district. “Noncontributing building” may include those buildings constructed after the time period featured in a historic district or buildings in which the historical characteristics have been irreparably modified. “Noncontributing building” may also include buildings which, while noncontributing at present, may become contributing through the application of appropriate design criteria.

In accordance with the Municipal Code Section 17.48, alterations to the exterior of a building located within the Historic Overlay Zone are required to be approved through a Historic Resources Permit, which must be approved by the City Council.

Section 17.48.040
No improvement or exterior architectural feature of any improvement shall be constructed or altered or enlarged which is located in the Historic Overlay District or identified as a historic site outside the District, unless a permit is issued pursuant to the terms of this chapter. The section shall not apply to any interior alteration which has no effect on the condition or appearance of any exterior architectural feature of an improvement. No structure listed on a State or National Register shall be moved or demolished, unless a permit is issued pursuant to the terms of this chapter.

Section 17.48.070

1. A historic resource permit shall be required for any alteration of the exterior features of a building within a designated historic district, or a designated historic building or site, or to construct a new building or improvements upon property within a designated historic district except as otherwise provided in this Chapter 17.48, the City Council shall determine whether a historic resources permit shall be issued. A permit shall not be required for ordinary

maintenance and repairs as defined in this section.

2. Permit Procedures. An application for a historic resource permit shall be made on a form prescribed by the Community Development Department and shall be accompanied by the fees established by resolution of the City Council. The application shall include the information required by Section 17.70.040 for site plan review, complete elevation drawings of the proposed alterations, samples of proposed colors and materials, color photographs of all sides of any existing improvement, building or structure on the site, and such other information as may be required by the Community Development Department. If applicable, the application shall include the information required by Chapter 17.80 (permit for conditional uses) and Chapter 17.82 (planned unit development).

Applications for permits requiring City Council approval shall be placed on the next regular meeting of the City Council. The City Council may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the permit.

Building Description
The building was constructed in 1982 as Valley Federal Savings and Loan. The structure was constructed with red brick along the exterior with a wood sided roof. The façade is rectangular in shape and its proportions were determined to be compatible with the adjacent historic buildings at the time of construction. Subsequent Historic Resources Permits have been granted for signage and the addition of an ATM. Historic Resources Permit No. 0015-24 was approved recently to construct exterior improvements, including a new ramp and step to the entryway door, accessible parking striping, landscape curbs with paving, and an ATM.

Proposed Modifications
The applicant is requesting to install a 10’, 10” high black steel gate and 13’, 9” high black steel fence at a secondary building entrance along the adjacent alley as well as perform minor civil improvements as shown in Attachment 2. The gate will open onto an existing sidewalk adjacent to the alley. The sidewalk will be repaired as needed to provide a level landing for the gate. Section

17.48.150(B)(9) states that “contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing buildings, structures or site shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, materials and character of the property, neighborhood or environment.” The proposed gate and fence would be a contemporary design characteristic for the site, but would not destroy any significant historical, architectural, or cultural material since the site is noncontributing to the Historic District. Additionally, there will be minimal visibility of the gate and fence from the street due to their location along the alley. The gate shall be compliant with all applicable Fire and Building Code requirements.

The proposal also includes filling a strip of land between the proposed fence and Seventh Street with decomposed granite. Minimal decomposed granite is acceptable as a landscaping material. Any use of decomposed granite shall complement the existing colors used in the area, either a color similar to the existing building or similar to the bark used in landscape strips in surrounding areas. Per Section

17.48.150(E)(1)(a), “exterior colors should harmonize with other colors on the same building and on the streetscape. Exterior colors should complement the colors of neighboring buildings and should be selected to be mutually supportive and beneficial to the overall historic character of the streetscape.” The exterior modifications proposed do not affect any significant historic attributes, since the

structure is noncontributing to the Historic District.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
In accordance with Section 17.48 of the Hanford Municipal Code, staff recommends approval of Historic Resources Permit HRA0016-24 and that the approval of the historic resources permit will allow private investment in the Downtown area, allow the increase of economic and financial benefits to the City and its property owners and inhabitants, and make the following findings:

1. That the proposed rehabilitation of the façade will not impact the Historic Overlay Zone since the building is designated as a noncontributing structure.

2. That the proposed project will provide a complementary setting and environment in the Historic District.

3. That the proposal will promote and encourage continued private ownership and utilization of structures so that the objectives set forth in Section 17.48 can be attained.

4. That the request will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of Hanford.

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the permit.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 25-07-R, approving Historic Resources Permit HRA0017-25, subject to the following conditions:

1. That the applicant adhere to the design criteria for the Historic Overlay Zone, set forth in Section 17.48 of the Hanford Municipal Code.

2. That approval of this project does not exempt compliance with all applicable sections of the Zoning Ordinance, Public Works Improvement Standards, fees, or other City Ordinances.

3. That the alterations to the site be completed in accordance with the proposed changes. Future changes may be approved by the Community Development Director or forwarded to the City Council for review.

4. That the owner, occupant or other person in actual charge of a designated historic building or site, structure or building in an historic district shall keep in good repair all of the exterior portions of such site, improvement, building or structure, and all interior portions thereof whose maintenance is necessary to prevent the deterioration and decay of any exterior architectural feature.

5. That should the gate and fence be removed in the future, the holes left in the building and ground shall be patched to match the surrounding material in composition, design, color, texture and other visual qualities.

6. That any use of decomposed granite shall complement the existing colors used in the area, either a color similar to the existing building or similar to the bark used in landscape strips in

surrounding areas.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 3/18/2025 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR SUBJECT:

Adoption of Resolution Nos. 25-10-R, 25-11-R, and 25-12-R pertaining to the establishment of Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) for the Billingsley Subdivision (Tract 937) and the Lunaria Subdivision (Tract 938).

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-10-R Declaring its intention to establish City of Hanford Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Public Safety Services) and to authorize the levy of a special tax therein to finance certain services.

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-11-R Declaring its intention to establish City of Hanford Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 (Public Maintenance Services) and to authorize the levy of a special tax therein to finance certain services.

3. Adopt Resolution 2025-12-R, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hanford Adopting a Statement of Goals and Policies for the Use of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.

BACKGROUND:

Resolution No. 2025-10-R – Public Safety Services
Two residential projects, Billingsley Ranch (a 95-lot development) and Lunaria (a 457-lot development) are planned for construction within the City of Hanford. The projects are owned by D.R.

Horton. The Billingsley Ranch project is generally located on the southwest corner of Hanford Armona Road and Aquifer Drive. The Lunaria project is generally located east of 10 ½ Avenue, south of Hanford Armona Road, and north of Houston Avenue.

The attached resolution will begin the proceedings to form Community Facilities District 2025-1 (Public Safety Services) (“CFD 2025-1”). The conditions of development of the projects require them to be part of a CFD to provide funding for the impact of new development on police and fire protection services.

To fund the impact of new development on the City’s public safety services, staff recommends that

the City Council consider establishing CFD 2025-1 (Public Safety Services), a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District, by adopting a Resolution of Intent to form the district, with the intention that future developments within the City of Hanford (the “City”) may annex into this district, at the City’s discretion. The special taxes collected from the property owners within the proposed CFD 2025-1 are to be used for partial funding of police and fire protection services due to the impact of the development of the property within the proposed CFD 2025-1. The boundary of the CFD includes the area within assessor’s parcel numbers 011-040-007-000, 011-440-014-000, and 011-440-015- 000 as depicted on Exhibit A.

As part of the CFD formation process, the City contracted with Willdan Financial Services for the preparation of the necessary resolutions and balloting procedures for the formation.

The Resolution of Intention is the first step in the process of forming CFD 2025-1. The resolution also establishes May 6, 2025 as the public hearing date for the final consideration of forming CFD 2025-1.

Once the formation is complete, and the election results are at least two-thirds approval, the property owners within the CFD will be required to pay annual special taxes for CFD 2025-1, beginning the fiscal year after they are issued a building permit, as itemized on their property tax bill, in accordance with the rate set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.

Resolution No. 2025-11-R - Public Maintenance Services
On November 19, 2024, the City Council of the City of Hanford approved Final Map and Subdivision Agreement for Tract No. 937 (Billingsley Ranch). The Project will consist of a 95-lot residential development. The project includes pedestrian sidewalks; landscaping; and street and utility improvements. The Project is owned by D.R. Horton and is generally located on the southwest corner of Hanford Armona Road and Aquifer Drive.

The attached resolution will begin the proceedings to form Community Facilities District 2025-2 (Public Maintenance Services) (“CFD 2025-2”). The conditions of development of the Project require it to be part of a CFD to provide funding to offset the increased cost of public services created due to new development for landscaping maintenance, lighting maintenance, drainage maintenance, street maintenance, and park maintenance. The boundary of the CFD includes the area within assessor’s parcel number 011-040-007-000 as depicted on Exhibit A.

To fund the impact of new development on the City’s public services, staff recommends that the City Council consider establishing CFD 2025-2 (Public Maintenance Services), a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District, by adopting a Resolution of Intent to form the district, with the intention that future development within the City of Hanford (the “City”) may annex into this district, at the City’s discretion. The special taxes collected from the property owners within the proposed CFD 2025-2 are to be used for the funding of landscaping maintenance, lighting maintenance, drainage maintenance, street maintenance, and park maintenance.

As part of the CFD formation process, the City contracted with Willdan Financial Services for the preparation of the necessary resolutions and balloting procedures for the formation.

The Resolution of Intention is the first step in the process of forming CFD 2025-2. The resolution also establishes May 6, 2025 as the public hearing date for the final consideration of forming CFD 2025-2.

Once the formation is complete, and the election results are at least two-thirds approval, the property owners of the development will be required to pay annual special taxes for CFD 2025-2, beginning

the fiscal year after they are issued a building permit, as itemized on their property tax bill, in accordance with the rate set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.

Resolution No. 2025-12-R - Statement of Goals and Policies Pursuant to California Government Code, the City of Hanford, shall consider and adopt local goals and policies concerning the use of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 prior to the establishing a new community facilities district under the Act.

The Local Goals and Policies presented as Attachment A to the resolution attached to this Staff Report provide guidance for the City in proceedings to form a CFD, and in issuing bonds secured by special taxes under the Act. The Policies are intended to be general in nature; specific details will depend on the nature of each particular financing. The Policies are intended to comply with Section 53312.7(a) of the Government Code and are subject to amendment by the City Council at any time.

In the event these Policies conflict with or are incompatible with any provisions of the Act, the provision of the Act shall control.

The Goals and Policies Concerning the use of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 outlines the financing priorities of any proposed new CFD, the bond financing and credit quality of the CFD, the required disclosures by developers to prospective purchasers, general guidelines of proposed Rate and Method of Apportionments of any given CFD, aggregate tax burden limitations on property subject to CFD special taxes, the option of the City for retaining special consultants to prepare feasibility analysis prior to the formation of a CFD, the city proceedings to form a new CFD, bond financing terms, if any are required, exceptions to the policy, and the fiscal impact of forming a new CFD. Details of the aforementioned are contained in the Goals and Policies.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HANFORD DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO ESTABLISH CITY OF HANFORD COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2025-1 (PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES) AND TO AUTHORIZE THE LEVY OF A SPECIAL TAX

THEREIN TO FINANCE CERTAIN SERVICES
At a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Hanford duly called and held on March 18, 2025, at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers of the Civic Auditorium, it was moved by council member , and seconded by Council Member , and duly carried, that the following resolution be adopted.

WHEREAS, the CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF HANFORD, CALIFORNIA (the “City Council”), has determined that it is necessary and desirable to create a community facilities district pursuant to the terms and provisions of the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982”, being Chapter 2.5, Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the Government Code of the State of California (the “Act”), as amended, for the purpose of financing the impact on police and fire protection services due to new development; and
WHEREAS, the Act authorizes the City Council to establish a community facilities district and to levy special taxes within the community facilities district; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Hanford as follows:

Section 1. Recitals. The above recitals are all true and correct.

Section 2. Initiation of Proceedings. The City Council hereby declares its intention to conduct proceedings for the formation of a community facilities district pursuant to the provisions of the Act.

Section 3. Name of CFD. The proposed community facilities district shall be known and designated as “City of Hanford Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Public Safety Services)” (the “CFD”).

Section 4. Boundaries of CFD. A description of the exterior boundaries of the territory proposed for inclusion in the CFD, including properties and parcels of land proposed to be subject to the levy of a special tax by the CFD, is as shown on the boundary map designated as “PROPOSED BOUNDARIES OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2025-1 (PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES),” which is on file in the office of the City Clerk and is attached hereto as Exhibit A and hereby incorporated by reference.

Section 5. Description of Services. It is the intention of this City Council to finance certain services described below (the “Services”). The City Council hereby finds that the Services are in addition to those provided in the territory within the CFD prior to the establishment of the CFD and that such Services will not supplant services already available within that territory. A general description of the services to be provided is as follows:

Police Services: includes the estimated and reasonable costs of providing police services, including but not limited to (i) the costs of contracting for police, (ii) the salaries and benefits of City staff, if the City directly provides police services, (iii) the expense related to equipment, apparatus, and supplies related to these services and authorized by the Act, and (iv) City overhead costs associated with providing such services within the City.

Fire Protection Services: includes the estimated and reasonable costs of providing fire protection services, including but not limited to (i) the costs of contracting for fire personnel, (ii) the salaries and benefits of City staff, if the City directly provides fire protection services, (iii) the expense related to equipment, apparatus, and supplies related to these services and authorized by the Act, and (iv) City overhead costs associated with providing such services within the City.

The cost of the Services shall include incidental expenses, including, but not limited to, the costs associated with forming the CFD, determination of the amount of the Special Taxes, collection of the Special Taxes, payment of the Special Taxes, and costs incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the CFD.

All Services shall be provided by the City of Hanford, with its own forces or by contract with third parties, or any combination thereof, to be determined entirely by the City of Hanford.

Nothing in this description of Services or any Resolution of the City Council shall be construed as committing the City or the CFD to provide all of the authorized Services. The provision of Services shall be subject to the successful formation of the CFD and the availability of sufficient proceeds of special taxes within the CFD. The City may annually prioritize, at its discretion, the authorized Services that would be funded and the amount of the special tax proceeds that it will use for each Service.

Section 6. Special Tax. It is hereby further proposed that, except where the City Council, in its sole discretion, determines that funds are otherwise available to pay for the Services, a special tax sufficient to pay for such Services and related incidental expenses authorized by the Act (the “Special Tax” or “Special Taxes”), secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the CFD, will be levied annually within the boundaries of the CFD. Under no circumstances will the Special Tax authorized to be levied within the CFD be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels used for private residential purposes and located within the CFD by more than 10 percent. For further particulars as to the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax proposed to be levied within the CFD, reference is made to the attached and incorporated Exhibit B, which sets forth in sufficient detail the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax among parcels of real property in the CFD (the “Rate and Method”) to allow each landowner or resident within the CFD to clearly estimate the maximum amount that such person will have to pay for such Services. The City Council hereby determines the Rate and Method set forth in Exhibit B to be reasonable.

Section 7. The Special Taxes herein authorized, to the extent possible, shall be collected in the same manner as ad valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties, procedure, sale and lien priority in any case of delinquency as applicable for ad valorem taxes, or shall be collected in such other manner as may be provided by the City Council. Any Special Taxes that

may not be collected on the County tax roll shall be collected through a direct billing procedure by the City’s Finance Director or duly appointed officer or agent of the City of Hanford, as appointed by the City Council.

Section 8. Public Hearing. Notice is given that on May 6, 2025, at the hour of 7:00 p.m. (or as soon thereafter as practical), in the regular meeting place of the City Council being the City Council Chambers, located at 400 N. Douty Street, Hanford, CA 93230, a public hearing will be held where this City Council will consider the establishment of the proposed CFD, the extent of the CFD, the furnishing of the Services within the CFD, and the proposed Rate and Method, and all other matters as set forth in this resolution of intention. At the above-mentioned time and place for public hearing any persons interested, including taxpayers, persons registered to vote within the CFD, and property owners, may appear and be heard. The testimony of all interested persons for or against the establishment of the CFD, the extent of the CFD, or the furnishing of the Services will be heard and considered. Any protests may be made orally or in writing. However, any protests pertaining to the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings shall be in writing and clearly set forth the irregularities and defects to which the objection is made. All written protests shall be filed with the City Clerk of the City Council on or before the time fixed for the public hearing.

Written protests may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing.

Section 9. If a written majority protest against the establishment of the CFD is filed (as determined in accordance with Section 53324 of the Act), the proceedings shall be abandoned. If such majority protest is limited to certain services or portions of the Special Tax, those services or that tax shall be eliminated by the City Council.

Section 10. The public hearing may be continued from time to time, but shall be completed within 30 days, except that if the City Council finds that the complexity of the CFD or the need for public participation requires additional time, the public hearing may be continued from time to time for a period not to exceed 6 months.

Section 11. At the public hearing, the City Council may modify this resolution by eliminating any of the Services, or by changing the method of apportionment of the special tax so as to reduce the maximum special tax for all or a portion of the owners of property within the CFD, or by removing any territory from the CFD. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council may abandon these proceedings or may, after passing upon all protests, determine to proceed with establishing the CFD.

Section 12. Election. If, following the public hearing described in Section 8 above, the City Council determines to establish the CFD and proposes to levy the Special Tax within the CFD, the City Council shall then submit the levy of the Special Taxes to the qualified electors of the CFD.

The vote shall be by the landowners of the CFD with each landowner or the authorized representative thereof, having one (1) vote for each acre or portion of an acre of land owned within the CFD.

Section 13. The election shall be conducted by the City Clerk, and shall be held on a date selected by the City Council in conformance with the provisions of Section 53326 of the California Government Code and pursuant to the provisions of the California Elections Code, insofar as they may be applicable. Pursuant to said Section 53326 the ballots for the election shall be distributed

to the qualified electors of the CFD by mail with return postage prepaid or by personal service, and the special election shall be conducted as a mail ballot election.

Section 14. A successful election relating to the Special Tax authorization shall, as applicable, establish the appropriations limit as authorized by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution as it is applicable to the CFD.

Section 15. Notice. Notice of the time and place of the public hearing shall be given by the City Clerk by causing a Notice of Public Hearing to be published in the legally designated newspaper of general circulation, such publication pursuant to Section 6061 of the Government Code, with such publication to be completed at least seven (7) days prior to the date set for the public hearing.

In addition, notice of the time and place of said hearing shall also be given by first-class mail to each registered voter and to each landowner within the proposed CFD as prescribed by Section 53322.4 of said Act. Said notice shall be published at least seven (7) days [and mailed at least fifteen (15) days before the date of the hearing,] and shall contain the information required by said Section 53322 of the Act.

Section 16. Exempt Properties. Except as provided in Section 53340.1 of the Act and except for properties that a local agency is a landowner of within the meaning of subdivision (f) of Section 53317 of the Act, pursuant to Section 53340 of the California Government Code, properties of entities of the state, federal, and local governments shall be exempt from the levy of Special Taxes for the financing of the Services of the proposed CFD. Reference is hereby made to the Rate and Method for a description of other properties or entities that are expressly exempted from the levy of the Special Taxes.

Section 17. Necessity. The City Council finds that the proposed Services described in Section 5 hereof are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as a result of new development occurring within the boundaries of the proposed CFD.

Section 18. Annexation of Territory. Other property may be annexed into the CFD pursuant to the provisions of the Act.

Section 19. Public Interest. Pursuant to Section 53329.5(c) of the Act, the City Council finds, in its opinion, the public interest will not be served by allowing property owners in the CFD to enter into a contract pursuant to Section 53329.5(a) of the Act.

Section 20. Advances.

Section 6. Special Tax. It is hereby further proposed that, except where the City Council, in its sole discretion, determines that funds are otherwise available to pay for the Services, a special tax sufficient to pay for such Services and related

At the public hearing, the City Council may modify this resolution by eliminating any of the Services, or by changing the method of apportionment of the special tax so as to reduce the maximum special tax for all or a portion of the owners of property within the CFD, or by removing any territory from the CFD.

B-8
such Assessor’s Parcel.

G. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
Taxable Property in the CFD shall remain subject to the Special Tax in perpetuity or until the City Council takes appropriate actions to terminate the Special Tax pursuant to the Act.

1 ATTACHMENT A

CITY OF HANFORD

STATEMENT OF GOALS AND POLICIES

CONCERNING USE OF THE MELLO-ROOS
COMMUNITY FACILITIES ACT OF 1982
I. INTRODUCTION
Section 53312.7(a) of the California Government Code requires that pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the “Act”) the City of Hanford (the “City”) consider and adopt local goals and policies concerning the use of the Act prior to the initiation of proceedings to establish a new community facilities district (“CFD”) under the Act. The following goals and policies are intended to meet the minimum requirements of the Act, and may be amended or supplemented by the City Council of the City (the “City Council”) at any time.

The City will consider developer-initiated applications requesting the formation of a CFD pursuant to the Act and the issuance of bonds to finance the construction and/or acquisition of eligible public facilities. At the City’s discretion, and depending upon existing circumstances, in addition to the issuance of bonds to fund eligible public facilities, eligible community services may also be financed on an on-going basis through the levy of special taxes.

The City has adopted this document to set forth its goals and policies for the use of the Act pursuant to Section 53312.7 of the Act. In each and every circumstance, the decision as to whether or not the City will make use of the Act is a decision that will be made solely by the City. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as obligating the City to make use of the Act in any circumstance or as granting to any person any right to have the City make use of the Act in any circumstance.

II. GOALS
The City shall make the determination as to whether a proposed district shall proceed under the provisions of the Act. In selecting services and facilities to be financed, the City may finance any services or facilities permitted to be financed under the Act.

III. ELIGIBLE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
Generally, the improvements eligible to be financed by a CFD must have a useful life of at least five (5) years and must be owned by the City or another public agency. Subject to Section II hereof, the list of eligible public facilities include, but are not limited to, the types of facilities specified in Government Code section 53313.5, as it currently exists or may hereafter be amended.

The funding of public facilities to be owned and operated by public agencies other than the City shall be considered on a case-by-case basis. If the proposed financing is consistent with a public facilities financing plan approved by the City, or the proposed facilities are otherwise consistent with approved land use plans for the property, the City may consider entering into a joint

2 community facilities agreement or joint exercise of powers agreement in order to finance these facilities.

The City will consider on a case-by-case basis CFDs established for the provision of services eligible to be funded under the Act, including services to be provided by other public agencies.

Eligible services are as specified in the Act, as it currently exists or may hereafter be amended.

IV. PRIORITIES FOR CFD FINANCING UNDER THE ACT
Priority for CFD financing shall be given to public facilities which: (a) are necessary for economic development, or (b) are otherwise incident to an economic development project. If appropriate, the City shall prepare a public facilities financing plan as a part of the specific plan or other land use document that identifies the public facilities required to serve a project, and the type of financing to be utilized for each facility. The eligibility of a facility for financing and the priority for the financing of facilities will be determined at the sole discretion of the City.

In general, none of the services authorized to be provided under the Act shall have priority over the others unless said services involve public health and safety which shall take priority. The eligibility of a service for financing and the priority for the financing of services will be determined at the sole discretion of the City.

V. CREDIT QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR CFD BOND ISSUES
It is the policy of the City to comply with all provisions of the Act including, but not limited to, Section 53345.8, as such Section may be amended from time to time. It is the goal of the City to conform, as nearly as practicable, to the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission’s Appraisal Standards for Land-Secured Financings, as such standards may be amended from time to time, provided, however, that this City Council may additionally amend such standards from time to time as it deems necessary and reasonable, in its own discretion, to provide needed public improvements within the City, while still accomplishing the goals set forth herein.

Unless otherwise specifically approved by the City Council as provided in Section 53345.8(b) or (c) of the Act, the district property value-to-lien ratio shall be at least three to one after calculating the value of the public facilities to be financed and considering any prior or pending special taxes or assessment liens. The City may require a higher value-to-lien ratio in its discretion, in consideration of current market and related conditions.

Property value may be based on either an appraisal or on assessed values as indicated on the County assessor’s tax roll. The appraisal shall be based on standards promulgated by the State of California and otherwise determined applicable by City staff and consultants. The appraisal must be dated within three months of the date the bonds are issued.

Less than a three-to-one value to lien ratio (as described above), excessive tax delinquencies, a substantial amount of vacant land, or other factors may cause the City to disallow the sale of bonds or require credit enhancement prior to bond sale.

If the City requires letters of credit or other security, the credit enhancement shall be issued by an institution, in a form and upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the City. Any security required

3 to be provided by the applicant may be discharged by the City upon the opinion of a qualified appraiser, retained by the City, that a value-to-lien ratio of three to one has been attained per land use category, including any overlapping special assessment or special tax liens.

As an alternative to providing other security, the applicant may request that a portion of the bond proceeds be placed in escrow with a corporate agent in an amount sufficient to assure a value-tolien ratio of at least three to one on the outstanding proceeds. The use of an escrow bond structure shall be in the sole discretion of the City.

The City may, at its option, require a financial feasibility report prior to the formation of the CFD if fifty percent or more of the land within the CFD is substantially undeveloped. The report shall be prepared by or at the direction of the City. All costs for preparing the report shall be borne by the applicant/developer. An estimate of the report cost shall be made prior to initiating the study and the applicant/developer shall deposit the cost prior to starting the report.

For new development, prior to the issuance of bonds, the applicant/developer must submit a financial plan which demonstrates to the City’s satisfaction the applicant/developer’s ability to pay all special taxes through build out of the project.

VI. DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR PROSPECTIVE PROPERTY PURCHASERS A. Disclosure Requirements for Developers. Developers who are selling lots or parcels that are within a CFD shall provide disclosure notice to prospective purchasers that comply with all of the requirements set forth in Section 53341.5 of the Government Code, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended. The disclosure notice must be provided to prospective purchasers of property at or prior to the time the contract or deposit receipt for the purchase of property is executed.

Developers shall keep an executed copy of each disclosure document as evidence that disclosure has been provided to all purchasers of property within a CFD.

B. Disclosure Requirements for the Resale of Lots. Pursuant to Section 53340.2 of the Act, the City’s Finance Department shall provide a notice of special taxes to sellers of property (other than developers), which will enable them to comply with their notice requirements under Section 1102.6 of the Civil Code. The City shall provide this notice within five working days of receiving a written request for the notice. A reasonable fee may be charged for providing the notice, not to exceed any maximum fee specified in the Act.

VII. EQUITY OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULAS AND MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAXES The special tax formula shall be reasonable and equitable in allocating cost of public facilities and services to parcels within the CFD. Exemptions from the special tax may be given to parcels, which include but are not limited to, parcels which are publicly owned, are held by a property owners’ association, are used for a public purpose such as open space or wetlands, are affected by public utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easements, or have insufficient value to support bonded indebtedness.

The maximum annual special tax, together with ad valorem property taxes, special assessments

4 and special taxes for an overlapping financing district, including such potential taxes and assessments relating to authorized but unissued debt of public entities other than the City and any other governmental taxes, fees, and charges secured by the property (collectively, the “Overlapping Debt Burden”), in relation to the expected assessed value of each parcel upon completion of the private improvements to the parcel is of great importance to the City in evaluating the proposed financing.

For residential parcels, the Overlapping Debt Burden shall not exceed two percent (2.0%) of the projected assessed value of each improved parcel within the district. As it pertains to commercial, industrial, or other parcels within the district, the City reserves the right to exceed the two percent (2.0%) limit if, in the City’s sole discretion, it is fiscally prudent. The City, in its sole discretion, may allow an annual escalation factor on parcels within a district.

In the event that a CFD issues debt, the special tax formulas shall provide for minimum special tax levels which satisfy the following: (a) 110 percent debt service coverage for all CFD bonded indebtedness (or such lower percentage determined by City’s financial advisor and underwriter to be fiscally prudent), (b) the reasonable and necessary annual administrative expenses of the CFD, and (c) amounts equal to the differences between expected earnings on any escrow fund and the interest payments due on bonds of the CFD. Additionally, the special tax formula may provide for the following: (a) any amounts required to establish or replenish any reserve fund established in association with the indebtedness of the CFD, (b) the accumulation of funds reasonably required for future debt service, (c) amounts equal to projected delinquencies of special tax payments, (d) the costs of remarketing, credit enhancement and liquidity facility fees, (e) the cost of services, (f) the cost of acquisition, construction, furnishing or equipping of facilities, (g) lease payments for existing or future facilities, (h) costs associated with the release of funds from an escrow account, and (i) any other costs or payments permitted by law. In structuring the special tax, projected annual interest earnings on bond reserve funds may not be included as revenue for purposes of the calculation.

The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax shall include a provision for a backup tax to protect against any changes in development that would result in insufficient special tax revenues to meet the debt service requirements of the district. Such backup tax shall be structured in such a manner that it shall not violate any provisions of the Act regarding cross-collateralization limitations for residential properties.

The City may retain a special tax consultant to prepare a report which: (a) recommends a special tax for the proposed CFD, and (b) evaluates the special tax proposed to determine its ability to adequately fund identified public facilities, City administrative costs, services (if applicable) and other related expenditures. Such analysis shall also address the resulting aggregate tax burden of all proposed special taxes plus existing special taxes, ad valorem taxes and assessments on the properties within the CFD.

VIII. APPRAISALS
Pursuant to the Act, property value may be based either on an appraisal or on full cash value as indicated on the County Assessor’s tax roll. The definitions, standards and assumptions to be used for appraisals shall be determined by City on a case-by-case basis, with input from City consultants and CFD applicants, and by reference to relevant materials and information promulgated by the

5 State of California, including the Appraisal Standards for Land-Secured Financings prepared by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission. In any event, the value-to-lien ratio shall be determined based upon an appraisal by an independent Member Appraisal Institute (“M.A.I.”) appraiser of the proposed CFD. The appraisal shall be coordinated by and under the direction of the City. All costs associated with the preparation of the appraisal report shall be paid by the entity requesting the establishment of the CFD through the advance deposit mechanism.

IX. CFD COST DEPOSITS AND REIMBURSEMENTS; APPLICATIONS
For applicant initiated CFDs the City shall not incur any non-reimbursable expenses for processing and administering CFDs. All City and consultant costs incurred in the evaluation of CFD applications and the establishment of CFDs will be paid by the entity requesting the establishment of the CFD by advance deposit which shall be in an amount not less than $15,000.00 for application processing and other preliminary costs. The City shall determine the actual amount of the initial advance deposit. If additional funds are needed to off-set costs and expenses incurred by the City, the City shall make written demand upon the applicant for such funds. If the applicant fails to make any deposit of additional funds for the proceedings, the City may suspend all proceedings until receipt of such additional deposit. Expenses not chargeable to the CFD shall be directly borne by the applicant. An applicant shall not be entitled to reimbursement from bond proceeds, if any, for any of the following:  Administrative or overhead expenses, financial consultant or legal fees incurred by an applicant for the formation of a special district (this limitation does not apply to amounts advanced by the applicant to the City).  Land-use planning and subdivision costs and environmental review costs related to such land use planning and subdivision.  Environmental impact studies unless off-site and directly related to the project.  Construction loan interest.  Costs, including but not limited to, land acquisition costs incurred prior to entering into a reimbursement or acquisition agreement or the adoption of a resolution of intention to form the district.  Attorney’s fees related to the land use entitlement or subdivision process unless off-site and directly related to the project.  On-site right-of-way and easements.  Other overhead expenses incurred by the applicant/developer.

In the event a CFD is not formed due to City disapproval or abandonment, or due to applicant abandonment, or the CFD is formed and bonds are not issued for any reason or the expenditure of the special tax for ongoing City services is not authorized, the City will refund to applicant/developer any remaining unexpended and unobligated portion of advance deposits posted with the City, subject to the City’s prior and full reimbursement of all its direct and indirect costs. If the applicant/developer’s advance deposit to the City is not sufficient to reimburse the City for all of its direct and indirect costs, the City will require payment of the balance due by the applicant/developer for the difference. The City shall not accrue or pay any interest on any portion of the deposit refunded to the applicant or the costs and expenses reimbursed to the applicant.

Neither the City nor the CFD shall be required to reimburse the applicant or property owner from any funds other than the proceeds of bonds issued by the CFD. Unless otherwise agreed to by the City, the City shall be entitled to pay any refund to the applicant/developer listed on the application form, irrespective of any changes in the ownership or composition of the applicant/developer.

6 In the event a district is formed for City services only, the applicant/developer shall be obligated to pay all expenses incurred by the City for the formation of the district. If a “service” district is not formed for any reason, the applicant/developer shall be entitled to any unused portion of the advance deposit.

X. APPLICATION PROCESS
The application form for a proposed CFD may be obtained from the City Clerk of the City.

Completed applications shall be returned to the City Clerk and must be accompanied by a deposit in the amount determined by the City. A review committee, consisting of such City staff and consultants as determined by the City, will review the application for compliance with these goals and policies and will make a recommendation to the City Council as to whether or not to proceed with the proposed CFD.

The Council will either approve or deny the application. If approval is granted, the Council shall direct the City Manager to engage additional consultants, negotiate necessary contracts, and collect additional developer deposits, as necessary. The City Manager and City’s financing team shall submit all necessary documents and reports needed for the Council to either terminate proceedings or take action to form the CFD, call the election and issue bonds.

Subject to the policies of the City, and as permitted by applicable law, the Finance Department may obtain the assistance of a qualified consultant to perform any of the duties set forth above, and to charge the cost of such consultant to the administrative costs of the CFD.

XII. USE OF CONSULTANTS
The City shall select all consultants as it deems necessary for the formation of the CFD or the issuance of bonds, including the underwriter(s), bond counsel, financial advisor, appraiser, absorption consultant, and the special tax consultant. Prior consent of the applicant shall not be required in the determination by the City of the consulting and financing team.

An applicant/developer may retain its own consultants for its own benefit, but will work through those consultants hired by the City. If the developer/applicant retains its own consultants, all costs associated therewith shall be borne by the developer/applicant, without reimbursement from bond proceeds unless otherwise agreed to by the City.

7 XIII. TRANSPARENCY AND NOTIFICATION

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 3/18/2025 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR SUBJECT:

Approval of a change order to increase Purchase Order 22500223, with Parts Authority, to a total of $70,000 to provide for the procurement of various parts and supplies necessary for servicing cityowned equipment. Additionally, Approval of the reallocation of $20,005 from Purchase Order 22500222 with Hanford Auto and Truck Parts, Inc. to fund these purchases.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, approve a change order to increase Purchase Order 22500223 with Parts Authority to $70,000 and approve the reallocation of $20,005 from Purchase Order 22500222 to fund the increase.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hanford Municipal Code requires City Council approval for purchases exceeding $50,000.

Historically, Hanford Fleet Services has utilized three vendors to procure various parts and equipment necessary for maintaining city-owned vehicles and equipment. Due to rising costs and the recent acquisition of Hanson Merrill Corporation—one of Fleet Services’ primary vendors—by Parts Authority, adjustments to procurement strategies are necessary.

Currently, Purchase Order 22500223 with Parts Authority is capped at $49,995, with a remaining balance of $10,827.36. After analyzing past expenditures and projected future needs, staff have determined that an increase in Purchase Order 22500223 is justified. This increase can be funded by reallocating $20,005 from Purchase Order 22500222.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Purchase Order 22500222 currently has a remaining balance of $24,205, which is sufficient to fully support the requested transfer.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Project Location
The Project is located south of Hanford Armona Road, between 12th and 13th Avenues (APN 011 040-008, -010, and -027). See Figure 3, below.

Silicon Valley Ranch

Existing Land Use

The lot is vacant.

Silicon Valley Ranch

General Plan and Zoning Designation
The site is designated by the General Plan as Low-Density Residential with a Future Educational Facility overlay.

Figure 4: General Plan Designation
Low-Density Residential Designation
In accordance with the General Plan, the expected density range for Low-Density Residential is two to 10 units per gross acre, with an expected average of four units per gross acre. According to Land Use Policy L31, the purpose of the Low-Density Residential land use designation is to provide mainly single-family development on lot sizes typically found in urban settings. Typical uses in the Low-Density Residential land use designation include residential uses in a variety of single-family lot types. Duplexes, second dwelling units, and home occupations can also be allowed when made compatible with the residential nature of the neighborhood, according to Policy L32.
“Floating” Educational Facility Designation
In accordance with the General Plan Policy L1000, where a site is not yet developed, the land use designation is allowed to “float” on the Land Use Map within the one-mile square section in which it is located. Locations along collector streets are preferred for new elementary schools.

During the consultation process, the local school districts were contacted and did not require use of this site as a school facility. The City’s role in development and managing school sites and programs is limited. The various school districts truly govern where a new school site would be located and when it would be necessary to construct or expand facilities, in order to adequately accommodate population growth. Elected governing school boards are responsible for budgeting

Silicon Valley Ranch

and decision-making and the State Department of Education establishes school site and construction standards. The General Plan provides policy which focuses on collaboration with school districts in determining new school locations and utilizing school facilities for general public needs. School districts would be able to utilize the General Plan, along with other plans, standards, and codes, to establish new school sites and to make decisions on school amenities and cohesiveness with the surrounding area.

Educational services needed for the development of the Project will be provided by the Hanford Elementary School District (HESD) and Hanford Joint Union High School District (HJUHSD).

Payment of fees to a school district is considered mitigation for project impacts on school facilities (Government Code Section 65996(a)). Therefore, the project applicant would be required to pay the statutory fees to accommodate the impact of project-generated student.

PROJECT EVALUATION
Annexation No. 161
Annexation 161 is a request to annex 88.89 acres into the City of Hanford from the Kings County jurisdiction. See Figure 1 and Attachment 1.

Annexation of land into Hanford allows previously undeveloped land to become available for development and allows the City of Hanford to provide the territory that is annexed with its full

Silicon Valley Ranch

range of City services. The annexation process can serve as an interim growth management tool, by limiting annexation to only the land that is needed for growth at the time.

The Hanford Planning Commission is charged with reviewing proposed annexation and making a finding of consistency with the Hanford General Plan to forward to the City Council. The Planning Commission found Annexation 161 consistent with the Hanford General Plan Policy L15 and L17.

Policy L15 Initiation of Annexations
Consider initiation of annexation of land into the City of Hanford only when the following criteria are met:

1. The land is within the Primary Sphere of Influence.

Analysis: The property proposed to be annexed is within the City’s Primary Sphere of Influence, as shown in Attachment 3.

2. The capacity of the water, sewer, fire, school, and police services are adequate to service the area to be annexed, or will be adequate at the time that development occurs.

Analysis: A Plan for Services has been prepared by Engineering for Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Drainage.

Sewer Improvements
The developer’s engineer will provide a sanitary sewer master plan with calculations for the entire subdivision that coincides with the Live Oak West Sanitary Sewer Master Plans prior to recording a subdivision final map for the development. Consideration shall be given for future areas of development located adjacent to proposed subdivision per the City Sanitary Sewer Master Plan.

A minimum 15-inch diameter sanitary sewer main is required to be installed within Aquifer Drive between Spring Crest Drive and Hume Avenue, subject to reimbursement for oversizing, in accordance with the Municipal Code Section 13.08.

The developer is required to install a sanitary sewer lift station, per the Live Oak West Sanitary Sewer Master Plan, to be located at the southwest corner of Hume Avenue and Aquifer Drive.

A 6-inch diameter sanitary sewer force main is required to be installed within Hume Avenue from the sanitary sewer lift station west of Aquifer Drive along development frontage and connecting to an existing gravity manhole at the east project boundary, subject to reimbursement for oversizing, in accordance with the Municipal Code Section

13.08. Storm Drainage Improvements
The developer’s engineer will provide a storm drainage master plan, complete with calculations for the entire subdivision prior to recording a subdivision final map for the development. The developer will complete construction of the storm drain basin within the first phase of the subdivision. The basin is required to be designed in conformance with

Silicon Valley Ranch

the City of Hanford’s Storm Drainage Design Criteria specifications and is required to include a six (6) ft. minimum high ornamental, masonry block fence with continuous footing along the Aquifer Drive and Hume Avenue frontages, a 24’ wide drive approach per City Standard Detail CO-41 and access gates per City Standard Detail GE-26. A chain-link fence with continuous footing per City Standard Detail GE-23 shall be constructed along non street basin boundaries. The developer is required to comply with the State of California Water Resources Control Board requirements specifically related to the National Pollution Elimination System Permit process.

Water System
The developer’s engineer is required to provide a Water System Master Plan complete with calculations for the entire subdivision for City review and approval prior to recording a subdivision final map for the first phase of development. Consideration shall be given for future areas of development located adjacent to proposed subdivision, as shown on the city Water Master Plan. A minimum 18-inch diameter water main and appurtenances, will be extended along property frontage within Aquifer Avenue. The applicant shall be entitled to a refund for water main oversizing in accordance with City Municipal Code Section 13.04. A minimum 12-inch diameter water main and appurtenances will be extended along the property frontage within Hume Avenue. Applicant shall be entitled to a refund for water main oversizing in accordance with City Municipal Code Section 13.04.

All existing water wells will be abandoned, in conformance with State of California Department of Health Standards.

Fire and Police
Fire and police services are adequate to service the area to be annexed. Impacts to fire and police services will be mitigated through payment of impact fees.

School
Educational services needed for the development of the Project will be provided by the Hanford Elementary School District (HESD) and Hanford Joint Union High School District (HJUHSD). Payment of fees to a school district is considered mitigation for project impacts on school facilities (Government Code Section 65996(a)). Therefore, the project applicant would be required to pay the statutory fees to accommodate the impact of projectgenerated student.

Notice of the proposed project was sent to the interested agencies for pre-consultation and normal consultation. A response was received by the Hanford Joint Union High School District stating, “This area is within our most impacted school boundary.” The City’s role in development and managing school sites and programs is limited. The various school districts truly govern where a new school site would be located and when it would be necessary to construct or expand facilities, in order to adequately accommodate population growth. Elected governing school boards are responsible for budgeting and decision-making and the State Department of Education establishes school site and construction standards. The General Plan provides policy which focuses on collaboration with school districts in determining new school locations and utilizing school facilities for general public needs. School districts would be able to utilize the General

Silicon Valley Ranch

Plan, along with other plans, standards, and codes, to establish new school sites and to make decisions on school amenities and cohesiveness with the surrounding area.

3. Land for development within the City limits is insufficient to meet the current land use needs.

Analysis: The applicant is proposing a 75.02-acre single-family residential development in the southwest planning area. Available land for new development within the Low-Density Residential land use designation is limited in the southwest planning area of the City. The majority of the properties designated for Low-Density Residential development have been developed or entitled, as shown in Figure 6, below. The proposal is considered an implementation of the General Plan.

Figure 6: Entitled Properties

4. The territory to be annexed is contiguous to existing developed areas.

Analysis: The territory to be annexed is directly contiguous to the current City limits to the north, south, and east.

Policy L17 Plan for Services
Prepare and make publicly available a written Plan for Services that describes how urban services will be provided prior to initiating an annexation.

Silicon Valley Ranch

Analysis: A written Plan for Services is attached (Attachment 4).

Favorable Factors for Annexation
Favorable and unfavorable factors for annexation have been adopted by LAFCO. The existence of favorable or unfavorable factors should not decide approval or denial; however, a substantial number of favorable or unfavorable factors may determine approval or denial of the proposal.

1. The proposed area is close to urban development and municipal-type services and would enhance its potential for full development.

Analysis: The proposed area is close to the existing City limits and is a logical extension of the City. The annexation area can be served by municipal-type services. The annexation area is designated as Low-Density Residential by the General Plan and is necessary to accommodate growth within the City of Hanford. The development proposed for the annexation area is consistent with the General Plan.

2. The proposed annexation conforms to the adopted General Plan.

Analysis: The annexation area is proposed to be developed as a single-family residential subdivision. The subdivision is consistent with the General Plan designation, Low-Density Residential. The annexation is consistent with the General Plan Section 3.2.4, which states, “Annexation of land into Hanford allows previously undeveloped land to become available for development and allows the City of Hanford to provide the territory that is annexed with its full range of City services.” The annexation area is also consistent with Policy L15 and L17 of the General Plan, as analyzed above.

3. The proposed area is consistent with the sphere of influence.

Analysis: The property proposed to be annexed is within the City’s Primary Sphere of Influence, as shown in Attachment 3.

4. The proposed annexation comes with 100% consent of all landowners.

Analysis: There are three parcels proposed to be annexed. The annexation comes with 100% consent the property owners. The signed annexation application is attached – Attachment 5.

Neighborhood Park.

Goal O9: Parks provided at a combined ratio of 3.5 acres per 1,000 residents.

Utilizing Quimby Act, park space for new development shall be provided at a ratio of 3 acres per 1,000 residents.

In accordance with the Quimby Act, open space shall be provided at a ratio of three acres per 1,000 residents. Using the assumption that the average household is 3.67 persons (based on current census data for Kings County), the projected number of residents for the subdivision is 1,196 persons, a minimum of 3.8 acres of park space is required for the subdivision.

Calculation:
326 units x 3.67 persons per household = 1196 persons
1196 residents ÷ 1,000 = 1.196

1.196x 3 acres = 3.58 acres of park space required
The applicant proposes a 3.58-acre park within Phase I of the subdivision. As a condition of approval of a final subdivision map or parcel map, the subdivider shall dedicate land, pay a fee in lieu thereof, or both, at the option of the city, for park or recreational purposes, at the time and according to the standards and formula contained in this title. The land, fees, or combinations thereof, are to be used only for the purpose of providing park or recreational facilities to serve the subdivision.

The park is a neighborhood park and features eyes-on-park development, as houses face the park from all sides, which is consistent with General Plan Policy O64.

Policy O64 Park Visibility:

Parks shall be designed to promote a safe and clean environment for recreation. New neighborhoods shall be designed so that common side and rear residential property lines with parks are minimized and visibility of parks from public streets is maximized.

Analysis: There are residential streets surrounding the park. Visibility is achieved from lots facing and siding onto the streets surrounding the park.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
Annexation No. 161
The Hanford Planning Commission is charged with reviewing the proposed annexation and making a finding of consistency with the Hanford General Plan to forward to the City Council.

The Planning Commission found Annexation 161 consistent with the Hanford General Plan Policy L15 and L17.

Policy L15 Initiation of Annexations

Silicon Valley Ranch

Consider initiation of annexation of land into the City of Hanford only when the following criteria are met:

1. The land is within the Primary Sphere of Influence.

Analysis: The property proposed to be annexed is within the City’s Primary Sphere of Influence, as shown in Attachment 3.

2. The capacity of the water, sewer, fire, school, and police services are adequate to service the area to be annexed, or will be adequate at the time that development occurs.

Analysis: The capacity of water, sewer, fire, school, and police services is adequate to service the area to be annexed at the time development occurs.

A Plan for Services has been prepared by Engineering for Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Drainage, based on the proposed development of the annexation area.

Sewer Improvements
The developer’s engineer will provide a sanitary sewer master plan with calculations for the entire subdivision that coincides with the Live Oak West Sanitary Sewer Master Plans prior to recording a subdivision final map for the development. Consideration shall be given for future areas of development located adjacent to proposed subdivision per the City Sanitary Sewer Master Plan.

A minimum 15-inch diameter sanitary sewer main is required to be installed within Aquifer Drive between Spring Crest Drive and Hume Avenue, subject to reimbursement for oversizing, in accordance with the Municipal Code Section 13.08.

The developer is required to install a sanitary sewer lift station, per the Live Oak West Sanitary Sewer Master Plan, to be located at the southwest corner of Hume Avenue and Aquifer Drive.

A 6-inch diameter sanitary sewer force main is required to be installed within Hume Avenue from the sanitary sewer lift station west of Aquifer Drive along development frontage and connecting to an existing gravity manhole at the east project boundary, subject to reimbursement for oversizing, in accordance with the Municipal Code Section

13.08. Storm Drainage Improvements
The developer’s engineer will provide a storm drainage master plan, complete with calculations for the entire subdivision prior to recording a subdivision final map for the development. The developer will complete construction of the storm drain basin within the first phase of the subdivision. The basin is required to be designed in conformance with the City of Hanford’s Storm Drainage Design Criteria specifications and is required to include a six (6) ft. minimum high ornamental, masonry block fence with continuous footing along the Aquifer Drive and Hume Avenue frontages, a 24’ wide drive approach per City Standard Detail CO-41 and access gates per City Standard Detail GE-26. A chain-link fence with continuous footing per City Standard Detail GE-23 shall be constructed along non street basin boundaries. The developer is required to comply with the State of

Silicon Valley Ranch

California Water Resources Control Board requirements specifically related to the National Pollution Elimination System Permit process.

Water System
The developer’s engineer is required to provide a Water System Master Plan complete with calculations for the entire subdivision for City review and approval prior to recording a subdivision final map for the first phase of development. Consideration shall be given for future areas of development located adjacent to proposed subdivision, as shown on the city Water Master Plan. A minimum 18-inch diameter water main and appurtenances, will be extended along property frontage within Aquifer Avenue. The applicant shall be entitled to a refund for water main oversizing in accordance with City Municipal Code Section 13.04. A minimum 12-inch diameter water main and appurtenances will be extended along the property frontage within Hume Avenue.

All existing water wells will be abandoned, in conformance with State of California Department of Health Standards.

Fire and Police
Fire and police services are adequate to service the area to be annexed. Impacts to fire and police services will be mitigated through payment of impact fees.

School
Educational services needed for the development of the Project will be provided by the Hanford Elementary School District (HESD) and Hanford Joint Union High School District (HJUHSD). Payment of fees to a school district is considered mitigation for project impacts on school facilities (Government Code Section 65996(a)). Therefore, the project applicant would be required to pay the statutory fees to accommodate the impact of projectgenerated student.

Notice of the proposed project was sent to the interested agencies for pre-consultation and normal consultation. A response was received by the Hanford Joint Union High School District stating, “This area is within our most impacted school boundary.” The City’s role in development and managing school sites and programs is limited. The various school districts truly govern where a new school site would be located and when it would be necessary to construct or expand facilities, in order to adequately accommodate population growth. Elected governing school boards are responsible for budgeting and decision-making and the State Department of Education establishes school site and construction standards. The General Plan provides policy which focuses on collaboration with school districts in determining new school locations and utilizing school facilities for general public needs. School districts would be able to utilize the General Plan, along with other plans, standards, and codes, to establish new school sites and to make decisions on school amenities and cohesiveness with the surrounding area.

3. Land for development within the City limits is insufficient to meet the current land use needs.

Silicon Valley Ranch

Analysis: The applicant is proposing a 75.02-acre single-family residential development in the southwest planning area. Available land for new development within the Low-Density Residential land use designation is limited in the southwest planning area of the City. The majority of the properties designated for Low-Density Residential development have been developed or entitled, as shown in Figure 6. The proposal is considered an implementation of the General Plan.

4. The territory to be annexed is contiguous to existing developed areas.

Analysis: The territory to be annexed is directly contiguous to the current City limits to the north, south, and east.

Policy L17 Plan for Services
Prepare and make publicly available a written Plan for Services that describes how urban services will be provided prior to initiating an annexation.

Analysis: A Plan for Services has been prepared by Engineering for Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Drainage, based on the proposed development of the annexation area - Attachment 4.

Favorable Factors for Annexation
Favorable and unfavorable factors for annexation have been adopted by LAFCO. The existence of favorable or unfavorable factors should not decide approval or denial; however, a substantial number of favorable or unfavorable factors may determine approval or denial of the proposal.

1. The proposed area is close to urban development and municipal-type services and would enhance its potential for full development.

Analysis: The proposed area is close to the existing City limits and is a logical extension of the City. The annexation area can be served by municipal-type services. The annexation area is designated as Low-Density Residential by the General Plan and is necessary to accommodate growth within the City of Hanford. The development proposed for the annexation area is consistent with the General Plan.

2. The proposed annexation conforms to the adopted General Plan.

Analysis: The annexation area is proposed to be developed as a single-family residential subdivision. The subdivision is consistent with the General Plan designation, Low-Density Residential. The annexation is consistent with the General Plan Section 3.2.4, which states, “Annexation of land into Hanford allows previously undeveloped land to become available for development and allows the City of Hanford to provide the territory that is annexed with its full range of City services.” The annexation area is also consistent with Policy L15 and L17 of the General Plan, as analyzed above.

3. The proposed area is consistent with the sphere of influence.

Analysis: The property proposed to be annexed is within the City’s Primary Sphere of Influence, as shown in Attachment 3.

4. The proposed annexation comes with 100% consent of all landowners.

Silicon Valley Ranch

Analysis: There are three parcels proposed to be annexed. The annexation comes with 100% consent the property owners. The signed annexation application is attached – Attachment 5.

Prezone No. 0005-23
In accordance with the Hanford Municipal Code Section 17.86.030, before a zone change may be approved, all of the following findings shall be made by the reviewing authority:

1. That the amendment is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan and the Municipal Code.

Analysis: That Prezone No. 0005-23 is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, specifically consistent with Land Use Policies L15 and L17. The development proposed in the annexation area, under Vesting Tentative Tract 943, conforms with all regulations pertaining to the R-L-5 Low-Density Residential zone district.

2. That the amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community.

ANALYSIS: That this application has been reviewed by County departments, utility companies, City Fire Department, City Building Department, and other involved departments.

Any mitigation required for public health and safety were applied to the proposal and required in the mitigation monitoring and reporting program.

3. That the amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City.

Analysis: That jobs-housing balance is achieved by increasing opportunities for people to work and live in close proximity. The ratio is expressed as the number of jobs divided by the number of housing units. The jobs-housing balance is a general tool for analyzing where people work, where they live, and how effectively they can travel between the two. In the planning area, the existing jobs-housing balance ratio in 2013-2014 was 1.17. It is estimated that the implementation of the General Plan would increase the jobs-housing balance by 0.45 to 1.62, which would make the planning area a jobs-rich area. The prezone is considered an implementation of the General Plan, which designates the project site as Low-Density Residential with a “floating” Future Educational Facility designation, not required for this location.

4. That the anticipated land uses on the subject site would be compatible with existing and future surrounding uses.

Analysis: That the anticipated land uses on the subject site are low-density residential, as proposed under Tentative Tract 943, which is compatible with planned single-family residential developments in the surrounding area (see Figure 6).

Tentative Tract Map 943:

Pursuant to Section 16.04.010 of the Hanford Subdivision Ordinance, Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, and Hanford’s Zoning Ordinance, the following findings can be made by the discretionary body:

Silicon Valley Ranch

1. Consistency Finding:

ANALYSIS: That a consistency finding can be made, because the proposed subdivision map is consistent with the State Subdivision Map Act, General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Subdivision Ordinance. The subdivision is consistent with the General Plan Designation for the property, Low-Density Residential. All requirements of the R-L-5 LowDensity Residential zone district are met for lot size, frontage, width, and depth.

Compliance with the regulations set forth in the Hanford Municipal Code for the R-L-5 Low-Density Residential zone district will be a condition of approval for the subdivision.

2. Design Finding:

ANALYSIS: That the design and improvement of the subdivision is consistent with the State Subdivision Map Act, General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Subdivision Ordinance.

The subdivision is consistent with the General Plan Designation for the property, LowDensity Residential. All requirements of the R-L-5 Low-Density Residential zone district are met for lot size, frontage, width, and depth. Compliance with the regulations set forth in the Hanford Municipal Code for the R-L-5 Low-Density Residential zone district will be a condition of approval for the subdivision.

3. Type of Development Finding:

ANALYSIS: That the site is physically suitable for the single-family residential development proposed under Tentative Tract 943. The lots proposed meet the minimum lot size of the R-L-5 Low-Density Residential Zone District. All parcels have adequate street frontage on a public street and meet the minimum depth and width required for the district.

4. Density Finding:

ANALYSIS: That a density finding can be made, because the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. The General Plan prescribes a density range between two and 10 units per acre, with an expected average of four units per gross acre.

The project has a density of 4.35 dwelling units per gross acre.

5. Environmental Finding:

ANALYSIS: That a focused environmental impact report was prepared for the project. On the basis of the Focused EIR, the City of Hanford, as the Lead Agency, has determined the project described above would have a significant effect on the environment based relating to the project’s transportation/traffic impacts and recommended a Statement of Overriding Considerations be adopted for the project’s significant impact.

6. Public Health Finding:

ANALYSIS: That the design of the subdivision and type of improvements are not likely to cause serious health problems. The City of Hanford Building Division is responsible for ensuring that future construction of the site follows adopted building codes, thus reducing exposures to accidents to the general public. Consultation was sent for Tentative Tract 943 to interested agencies, including the County Health Department, Public Works

Silicon Valley Ranch

Department, Fire Department, and Building Division. Any improvements or mitigations required for public health and safety were applied to the proposal and required in the conditions of approval and the mitigation monitoring and reporting program.

7. Improvements and Access Findings:

ANALYSIS: That the design of the subdivision and type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. All easements will be designated on the final subdivision map, as required by the utility companies and where needed for providing service to streetlights and landscape improvements, as designated by the City Public Utilities and Engineering Division. Additional easements are required, as follows:
a) A 20-foot easement established south of the centerline of Hume Avenue is required to be dedicated to the city for the purposes of street right-of-way. b) An easement for storm drainage purposes is required to be dedicated to the City, where necessary, to facilitate installation of storm drainage facilities connecting the portion of the development located on the west side of Aquifer Drive to the proposed storm drainage basin located on the east side of Aquifer Drive.
c) All easements for irrigation ditches and/or irrigation pipelines will be legally abandoned or relocated to the satisfaction of the City Engineer prior to acceptance of the subdivision improvements.
d) An easement for sanitary sewer along the south side of Hume Avenue for gravity sewer pipeline, sewer lift station and force main is required to be dedicated to the city. This dedication requirement is contingent on whether Tract 943 develops before Live Oak West Tract 909.

Impact #3.4.17a – Would the Project conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities?
The subject Project site is located south of Hanford Armona Road between Greenbrier Driver to the east and 13th Avenue to the west. The Project could potentially significantly impact the local circulation system and level of service at nearby intersections. A Traffic Impact Analysis will be prepared and impacts to the circulation system will be analyzed in the EIR.

Impact #3.4.17b – Would the Project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, Subdivision (b)?
CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 subdivision (b) was adopted in December 2018 by the California Natural Resources Agency. These revisions to the CEQA Guidelines criteria for determining the significance of transportation impacts shift the focus from driver delay to a reduction of vehicular greenhouse gas emissions through the creation of multimodal vehicle trips.

Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is a measure of the total number of miles driven for various purposes and is sometimes expressed as an average per trip or per person.

In the case of this Project, the anticipated VMT impacts could potentially exceed established significance thresholds. As such, an in-depth VMT analysis is required and will be further analyzed in the EIR.

Notice of Preparation of Draft Focused Environmental Impact Report (30-day review period) On June 21, 2024 the City of Hanford provided a Notice of Preparation of the Focused EIR, advising the public, interested parties and agencies that the City of Hanford, as lead agency,

would be preparing a focused environmental impact report for the proposed Silicon Valley Ranch Residential Project. A 30-day comment period was open from June 21 through July 22, 2024.

See Notice of Preparation – Attachment 7.

During the Notice of Preparation Period, comments were received from:

1. The Department of Toxic Substances Control – Received July 9, 2024 Reponses to the comments received are incorporated into the Draft Environmental Impact Report and attached – Attachment 8.

Scoping Meeting
A scoping session was held on July 8, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. in the Training Room (319 N Douty Street, Hanford, CA 93230) of City Hall. No comments were received during that meeting.

Notice of Availability of Draft Focused Environmental Impact Report (45-day review period) Following the initial 30-day comment period, a Draft Focused Environmental Impact was prepared and made available to the public, nearby residents, property owners, responsible agencies, and other interested parties for a 45-day review and comment period from November 25 to January 9, 2025.

See Notice of Availability – Attachment 9.

Internal staff comments were requested to be addressed regarding Vehicles Miles Traveled, Housing Opportunities assumptions, the Finding of Fact, and Statement of Overriding Considerations, as such, changes were made between the draft and final EIR and a notice of intent to certify the Final Environmental Impact Report was circulated for an additional 10-days from February 14 to February 24th. No additional comments were received.

See Notice of Intent to Certify – Attachment 10.

Table 1-1
Summary of Significant Impacts of the Project
Resources Project Impacts Cumulative Impacts
Land Use
Impact 4.1
As evaluated in detail in Table 4.1-2,
the Project is consistent with the goals
and policies of the City of Hanford
General Plan and Kings County
General Plan.

The Project is consistent with both
Kings County and City of Hanford
General Plan policy.

Potential land use impacts require
evaluation on a case-by-case basis
because of the interactive effects of a
specific development and its
immediate environment. Other
projects being proposed in the area
would similarly be analyzed for
consistency with the pertinent City
General Plan and Kings County
General Plan goals and policies.

Silicon Valley Ranch

Resources Project Impacts Cumulative Impacts
Therefore, impacts are considered
less than significant
Therefore, as proposed the Project
would be consistent with the goals
and policies of the City’s General Plan
and would therefore not contribute to
a cumulatively considerable impact
regarding land use. Cumulative
impacts are less than significant.

Transportation
and Traffic
Impact 4.1
The Project will impact the 12th
Avenue and Hanford Armona Road
intersection. It is recommended that
the existing eastbound right turn lane
will change to an eastbound through
and right turn lane. Implementation
of MM 4.2-1 would allow the studied
intersection to operate at an
acceptable LOS under City LOS
standards and reduce impacts to less
than significant.

Cumulative impacts are assessed with
the proposed Project and the 12
projects located within a one-half mile
of the Project site as identified by the
City of Hanford. Eleven of the 12
projects are entitled and either under
construction or are anticipated to be
under construction in the future. The
projects that are entitled are included
in and are consistent with the General
Plan. Therefore, they are included in
the KCAG travel demand model. The
growth rates used to determine future
traffic volumes would therefore
reflect traffic from these projects.

Cumulative impacts related to LOS
would be less than significant with
mitigation measures incorporated.

Transportation
and Traffic
Impact 4.2
Due to the Project’s location, it was
determined that Vehicle Miles
Travelled (VMT) would exceed the
City of Hanford’s adopted VMT per
capita threshold. No applicable and
feasible mitigation measures were
identified to reduce VMT below
thresholds. Therefore, impacts are
considered significant and
unavoidable.

Because the proposed Project is
determined to have a significant and
unavoidable impact by exceeding VMT
thresholds on a project level, the
cumulative impacts would also be
considered significant and
unavoidable.

As previously identified, impacts to Transportation and Traffic were found to be significant and unavoidable. As discussed in the Final Focused EIR, mitigation measures were considered to reduce the level of significance to the highest extent possible, however, impacts remain significant and unavoidable. A Statement of Overriding Considerations is required when impacts remain significant and unavoidable.

Therefore, included in the recommendation to adopt Resolution No. 2025-01, recommending certification of Focused EIR SCH #2024060956 to the City Council, is a request to recommend approval of the Findings of Fact, Section 15091 for the findings related to significant environmental impacts – Attachment 11, and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, Section 15093 – Attachment 12.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council certifies Final Focused Environmental Impact Report, SCH# 2024060956, prepared for the Silicon Valley Ranch Residential Project, based on the Findings of Fact contained in Exhibit B, hereto, the following specific findings and the evidence in the record:

1. That full and fair public hearings have been held on the Final Focused Environmental Impact Report and the Planning Commission having considered all comments received thereon, said Final Focused Environmental Impact Report is hereby determined to be adequate and complete; and said Focused Environmental Impact Report, SCH#2024060956 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

2. That the City Council hereby determines that the Final Focused Environmental Impact Report, SCH SCH#2024060956 has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the state and local environmental guidelines and regulations, that is has independently reviewed and analyzed the information contained

therein, including the written comments received during the EIR review period and the oral comments received at the public hearing; and that the Final Focused EIR represents the independent judgment of the City of Hanford, as the Lead Agency for the project.

3. That the City Council hereby make the following findings of fact attached to this resolution as Exhibit B, which includes a Statement of Overriding Considerations, attached as Exhibit C, with respect to the unavoidable significant effect on the environmental resulting from the project, as identified in the Final Focused Environmental Impact Report, SCH#2024060956 with the stipulation that all the information in these findings is intended as a summary of the full administrative record supporting the Final Focused Environmental Impact Report.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Hanford adopts the Statement of Overriding Considerations for the project contained in Exhibit C. In adoption of the Statement of Overriding Consideration, the City Council hereby finds that the Project has eliminated, or substantially lessened all significant effects on the environmental where feasible, and finds that the remaining significant unavoidable impacts resulting from the project are acceptable in light of the environmental, economic, social or other considerations set forth herein because the benefits of the project outweigh the significant and adverse effects to Transportation/Traffic as identified in the Final Focused Environmental Impact Report:

1. Accommodates the Need for Housing. At buildout, the Project proposes to construct approximately 326 dwelling units. As discussed in EIR Section 4.1 Land Use and Planning Table 4,1-2 the Project is consistent with the applicable City General Plan Goals and Policies. As noted in Section 6.4- Alternatives Considered and Evaluated -, the Project would help the City achieve its need to accommodate residential growth. It would also (a) address the City’s current and projected housing needs by providing a range of singlefamily residences; (b) meet any of the General Plan policies or objectives related to meeting the housing needs of all citizens, or provide; (c) provide residential housing opportunities for a wide range of housing choices that insure opportunities for a variety of age groups, lifestyles, and income levels that are visually attractive and accommodate the future housing demand in Hanford; (d) establish a mixture of housing types, sizes and densities that collectively provide for local and regional housing demand; (e) provide infrastructure that meets the City standards and is integrated with existing and planned facilities and connections; and (f) develop a project that meets City standards by implementing a logical phasing plan for development of public infrastructure improvements.

The Project aligns with the City's General Plan, specifically with the policies within the Urban Form, Land Use, and Design Element, such as Goal L1, to promote a well-planned community that grows in an organized fashion, Goal L3, limiting urban sprawl, Goal L4 Adequate land available to meet housing needs for all citizens through the year 2035, Goal L6 , which encourages the City to support development with a wide range of housing choices that insure opportunities for a variety of age groups, lifestyles, and income levels, L7 that promotes the City’s SOI to be coterminous to the Planned Area Boundary, L18 that new development is compatible with existing and surrounding neighborhoods, L27 that encourages mixing of residential densities and lot sizes within neighborhoods . As noted,

the Project would help fulfill the goals and housing objectives of the City and implement the projected population growth of the City and surrounding area .

2. Provides Orderly Expansion and Consistent with General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The proposed Project provides new development in an orderly manner and is coordinated with the General Plan Policy L15 regarding the criteria needed to initiate annexation of land into the City boundary, Policy L24 that ensures new residential developments have the sufficient urban infrastructure and public facilities needed, and Goal L32, to improve Hanford’s quality of life through use of practical design principles and standards. The Project proposes to eliminate several dead end roads by the development of new through streets, and will connect the dead-end roads along the eastern boundary so that residents have another access to Hanford Armona Road, which allows for a more efficient traffic flow in that area of the City. In addition, the proposed Project provides a safe and efficient street system that links all Project areas and allows for the movement of both vehicle and non-vehicle traffic. The Project will be required to use and expand upon the existing local road system and contribute to certain transportation improvements that will help to develop the orderly development of the roadway system in the area.

Further, per the 2016 Island Study prepared by LAFCO the Project would fill in an undeveloped island of county land surrounded by development and will build the infrastructure to connect to the City’s existing infrastructure of roads, water, sewage and drainage. As analyzed in the EIR, the City concurs that it can support the proposed residential development without significant impacts to public services or facilities.

3. Provides More Efficient Use of Land and Existing Resources. The property was previously farmed with animal feed and fodder such as wheat, milo and corn. The last two years only had enough water for a portion of the property and the crops grown, corn and milo, which are considered low-income crops generating a small net income. Permanent crops such as almonds, pistachios, vineyard and olives were no longer viable due to reduced water availability. The property owner states that surface water supplied by the local water district can no longer reach the property due to adjacent developments. This left only underground water available for agriculture, which the property owner stated was too expensive.

The General Plan identifies the Project parcel as within the Planned Area Boundary and is designated Low Density Residential. The parcels to the north are designated as Medium Density Residential and all other abutting properties as Low Density Residential. The designations indicate that the City anticipates future non-agricultural development in this area. Chapter 5.2 of the City of Hanford General Plan contains several goals and policies for agricultural resources. Goal 1 strives for the conservation and long-term protection of agricultural resources and soils located outside of the Planned Area Boundary. Policy 4 under Goal 1 states “retain existing agricultural areas as an interim use inside the Planned Area Boundary and support agricultural operations until such time that the areas are needed for logical urban expansion.”

4. Will Provide Additional Economic Benefits. Farming the site required less than two workers for the entire year, as noted by the property owner. The economic benefit and revenue were marginal to the City and County.

The Project will result in creating affordable housing at lower market rates, in addition to providing good paying construction jobs. According to available data, the median home price in the City is approximately $217,260. The typical annual property tax rate is 1.08%, and tax bills run at approximately $2,159 annually, which is below the national median of $2,690.1 To be conservative, using a median home cost of $217,260 and a tax rate of 1.08% the tax revenue per home is anticipated to be $2,346/year or $760,236 of tax revenue paid annually at full buildout of the Project.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Hanford hereby determines that the Focused EIR prepared for the Silicon Valley Ranch Project is adequate and complete, pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and so certifies it.

SCH# 2024060956
Lead Agency: City of Hanford
SECTION I. INTRODUCTION
The following findings of fact are based in part on the information contained in the draft and final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Silicon Valley Ranch Residential Development Project (Project) as well as additional facts found in the complete record of proceedings. The final focused EIR is hereby incorporated by reference and is available for review at the City of Hanford (City), City of Hanford Community Development Department, 317 N Douty St, Hanford, CA 93230.

SECTION II. FINDINGS REGARDING THE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

OF THE PROJECT
The City issued a notice of preparation of a draft focused EIR on June 21, 2024. Based on the initial study, technical studies and Notice of Preparation, a determination was made that the final focused EIR would contain a comprehensive analysis of environmental issues not screened out during the Notice of Preparation.

With respect to all impacts identified as “less than significant” or as having “no impact” in the final focused EIR, the Planning Commission finds that those impacts have been described accurately and are less than significant or have no impact. Despite concluding that certain impacts would be less than significant or would have no impact, the final focused EIR nonetheless incorporates mitigation measures in the form of complying with the goals, policies, and implementation measures of the City of Hanford General Plan or other adopted regulations. The Planning Commission finds that these effects are less than significant or have no impact before and after implementation of these mitigation measures.

In addition, one impact in the final focused EIR was found to be “significant and unavoidable.” The Planning Commission finds that this impact has been described accurately and is significant and unavoidable.

LAND USE AND PLANNING
A. Environmental Effects of the Project Found to Have No Impact on the Environment or Have a Less Than Significant Impact on the Environment.

The Project could cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect (Impact

4.2-1)

Silicon Valley Ranch Residential Development (Tract No. 943) Project Section 15091 Page 2 of 11
Planning Commission
February 25, 2025
The City of Hanford General Plan establishes land use policies and regulations that are applicable to the Project. In addition to the City of Hanford General Plan, applicable policies and regulations of the Kings County General Plan and Kings County LAFCo were identified as they pertain to annexations of land.

The Project site has a General Plan designation of Low Density Residential and would be prezoned R-L-5. Per the City General Plan zoning matrix, the R-L-5 zone district is compatible with the General Plan designation. Approval of the tentative map subject to the provisions of the City of Hanford municipal code would allow subdivision of the Project area into lot sizes consistent with the R-L-5 zone district. Pursuant to Table 17.08.020, the proposed development of single-family dwellings throughout the subdivided Project area is permitted uses under the R-L-5 zone district.

The Project is consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Hanford General Plan and Kings County General Plan. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the Project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigation an environmental effect. Impacts of the Project are less than significant, and no mitigation is required.

B. Environmental Effects of the Project that Are Potentially Significant, but that Can Be Mitigated to Less Than Significant Levels.

The Project would not have any environmental effects on land use and planning that are potentially significant and that can be mitigated to less than significant levels.

C. Effects of the Project that Cannot Be Mitigated to a Level Less Than Significant.

The Project would not have any environmental effects on land use and planning that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level.

Findings
The proposed Project would not have any potentially significant environmental effects related to land use and planning. No mitigation would be required, and impacts are less than significant.

Level of Significance
Impacts would be less than significant.

Brief Explanation of the Rationale for the Finding
CEQA requires that all feasible and reasonable mitigation be applied to the project to avoid or substantially lessen significant impacts. However, impactsrelated to land use and planning would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are required.

D. Cumulative Environmental Effects of the Proposed Project that Would Have a Less Than Significant Impact on the Environment.

As discussed in the Cumulative Project List section of the draft EIR, 12 similar projects are proposed within a one and a half-mile radius of the proposed Project, the geographic scope being the City of Hanford General Plan planning area. The Project and future development are required to be consistent with the City of Hanford General Plan and other applicable planning documents. Cumulative projects requiring additional
