TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: KEVIN GROSS, CITY ENGINEER
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 FUNDED BY SENATE BILL 1:

THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
DATE: JULY 7, 2026
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-44, adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017?

BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017 the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (“SB1”) which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 and beginning on November 1, 2017, the State Controller (“Controller”) has begun to deposit various portions of this funding in the created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (“RMRA”), with a percentage of that being apportioned to the City of Mendota (“City”).

The California Transportation Commission (“CTC”) is requiring that agencies provide a list of projects that may utilize Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2026-2027 SB1 (RMRA) funding by July 1, 2026, to receive their FY 2026-27 RMRA fund distribution. CTC allows the project list to include projects planned for after FY 2026-2027, as well as, be a carry-over of the list of projects previously proposed and adopted.

Resolutions 19-27, 20-42, 21-40, 22-32, 23-34, 24-26, and 25-35 adopted lists of projects and the attached list has been amended based on direction from City Council at previous meetings.

ANALYSIS
The attached list of SB1/RMRA projects was prepared by staff, specifically the City Manager/ Director of Public Works and City Engineer based on current conditions. This list includes projects previously listed.

The California Transportation Commission now uses an on-line project intake tool. Upon adoption, the projects on the list will be submitted via this tool.

Per AB 135, the project list shall not limit the flexibility of the City to fund projects in accordance with local needs and priorities so long as the projects are consistent with subdivision (b) of Section 2030; therefore, this list may be rearranged or amended. 2 FISCAL IMPACT
The City has received approximately $2,227,353.39 in RMRA allocations since FY 2017-2018 and utilized these funds on various road maintenance and rehabilitation projects throughout the city since. The City has received $291,143.05 to date in FY 2025-2026 and is expected to receive approximately $49,702 in additional RMRA funding in FY 2025-2026 and approximately $357,612 in FY 2026-2027. Additional Federal Funding (e.g., STBG, CMAQ) will be sought to fund the construction of some of these projects, thus leveraging the local transportation funds.

The General Fund will not be impacted by these projects.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-44, adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

Attachment:

1. Resolution No. 26-44
1 BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE

CITY OF MENDOTA, COUNTY OF FRESNO
RESOLUTION NO. 26-44

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MENDOTA ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 FUNDED BY SENATE BILL 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and Signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of the City of Mendota (“City”) are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City must adopt by resolution a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (“RMRA”), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City will receive an estimated $357,612 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, this is the 10th year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding and will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the community’s priorities for transportation investment; and WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate local streets/roads, add active transportation infrastructure throughout the City and plan for similar projects into the future; and
WHEREAS, the project list was discussed at previous City Council meetings where public input was solicited; and
2 WHEREAS, the 2023 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the City’s streets and roads are in an “poor” condition, this was justified in 2019 when the Pavement Management System was implemented and showed the Pavement Condition Index (“PCI”) of the City to be 43 (compared to the statewide average of 65) and this revenue will help us increase the overall quality of our road system and over the next decade will bring our streets and roads into a safer drivable condition; and
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive co-benefits statewide.

Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 1-1
1 Introduction

1.1 Background
This Engineer’s Report has been prepared in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (the “Act”), codified in Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code. The Act authorizes local agencies, including cities, to establish Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts (LLMDs) for the purpose of assessing benefiting properties to fund the maintenance of landscaping improvements and the operation of lighting facilities that provide a special benefit to those properties beyond the general benefits enjoyed by the community as a whole.

In July 2019, the City Council approved the formation of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2019-01 (LLMD 2019-01) and authorized the levy of assessments to fund landscape maintenance services and park lighting operations within Tract 6218, known as “La Colonia.” The Act requires that an Engineer’s Report be prepared annually for each fiscal year in which assessments are levied and collected to cover the costs associated with the improvements identified in the report (California Streets and Highways Code §22566).

This Report provides a description of LLMD 2019-01, including the district boundaries, the properties subject to assessment, the improvements and facilities to be maintained and operated, the proposed assessment amounts, the methodology used to allocate assessments among benefiting properties, and the individual assessment proposed for each parcel within the district. All assessments considered and adopted by the City Council (Council) must comply with the requirements of the Act.

The Council is responsible for reviewing the Engineer’s Report and may either approve it as presented or direct modifications. Upon final approval of the Report and the proposed assessments to be placed on the County tax roll for the upcoming fiscal year, the Council may order the levy and collection of assessments in accordance with the Act.

For LLMD 2019-01, the anticipated costs associated with operating, maintaining, and servicing the improvements, along with the benefiting properties, have been carefully analyzed. The assessment methodology has been developed to equitably distribute costs based on the level of special benefit received by the properties within the district. The assessments proposed for the current fiscal year are intended to fund the estimated expenses associated with maintaining public landscape areas and operating the specialized landscape and security lighting systems identified within the district.

LLMD 2019-01 includes an annual assessment adjustment mechanism that enables the City to maintain revenues consistent with increasing operational costs without conducting yearly assessment proceedings.

Under this provision, the City Council may increase the maximum assessment rate each year by the greater of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or two percent (2%). If future operating expenses exceed the revenues generated through this adjustment process, the City may prepare a revised cost analysis and conduct new assessment proceedings to consider higher assessment levels.

The geographic area encompassed by LLMD 2019-01 is illustrated on the Assessment Diagram included in Appendix A. The diagram identifies the district boundaries, the maintenance areas, and all properties Section One: Introduction
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 1-2
subject to assessment. This Engineer’s Report outlines the district structure and the assessments proposed for the current fiscal year. The maintenance, operation, and servicing costs associated with the district improvements that provide special benefit to assessed properties are identified and allocated proportionately among benefiting parcels. The proposed budget and assessments are based upon the City’s estimated costs to provide these services.

Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts may consist of multiple Benefit Zones, with each zone assessing properties for improvements and services specific to that area. LLMD 2019-01 may be expanded in the future to include additional properties and Benefit Zones upon approval by the City Council. For the current fiscal year, LLMD 2019-01 consists of one Benefit Zone.

1.2 Parcels Included in LLMD 2019-01
The word “parcel”, for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own address and its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) as assigned by the Fresno County Assessor’s Office. The Fresno County Auditor/Controller uses APNs and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed for Special District Benefit Assessments such as proposed for this LLMD on the property tax roll.

The City Council will review the Engineer’s Report and the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and will be included on the property tax roll for each parcel for this fiscal year.

1.3 Improvements Eligible for Inclusion
While not all of the following are included costs in LLMD 2019-01, the Act defines eligible improvements to mean one or any combination of the following, and any or all could be included in future assessments should the need arise:
• The installation or planting of landscaping;
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities; • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities; • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities; • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing; • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment;

• Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5; • Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

The Act defines "maintain" or "maintenance" to mean furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
• Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement; • Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury; • The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; • The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

Section Two: Description of the District
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 2-1
2 Description of LLMD 2019-01
LLMD 2019-01 encompasses the full area of Tract 6218, commonly referred to as the La Colonia subdivision. The district boundary and overall configuration are depicted on the Assessment Diagram provided in Appendix A. All parcels located within the subdivision are included within a single Benefit Zone.

The proposed assessments are intended to fund the operation and maintenance of specialized landscaping and lighting improvements that were installed by the developer and subsequently dedicated to the City.

These improvements, described in further detail below, exceed the standard level of landscaping and lighting facilities typically provided by the City. As such, they confer a special benefit upon the properties within LLMD 2019-01, and the associated costs are appropriately allocated to the benefiting parcels through the assessment process.

2.1 LLMD Purpose and Services Provided
LLMD 2019-01 is established to provide for the continued operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, landscape and security lighting systems, graffiti removal, and related maintenance activities within the public areas located throughout the district, as further described in the following sections.

The costs and assessments presented in this Report are based on the City’s estimated expenses associated with maintaining and operating the improvements within LLMD 2019-01. These expenses include, but are not limited to, labor, personnel costs, utilities, equipment, materials, administrative services, and other incidental costs necessary to provide the required level of service.

Properties receiving a special benefit from the improvements within a Benefit Zone are responsible for sharing the costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the facilities and services provided within that Zone. For the current fiscal year, LLMD 2019-01 consists of a single Benefit Zone. The total assessment required to fund the operation and maintenance of the district improvements is apportioned among the benefiting parcels in a fair and equitable manner based on the special benefit received.

2.2 Landscape Maintenance
Landscape maintenance responsibilities within LLMD 2019-01 include the landscaped medians and parkway areas along Bass Avenue, the subdivision’s primary perimeter roadway, including the landscaped roundabout center island. Maintenance areas also include the landscaped medians and parkways along Barboza Street between Bass Avenue and Ramirez Avenue, which serves as the principal access corridor to the subdivision, as well as landscaping located within public access easements (paseos) and the neighborhood park open space area. Services provided within these maintenance areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Fertilizing, cultivating, pruning, and replacing plant materials all landscape improvements within the medians, parkways, entryways, paseos and pocket park open space areas within the LLMD including street trees, turf, ground cover, shrubs, irrigation and drainage systems; • Weed abatement;
Section Two: Description of the District
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 2-2
• Painting and repairing of all sound walls, fencing, and necessary appurtenances. These may include but are not limited to shade structures, picnic tables, outdoor grills benches, trash and coal receptacles and similar items;
• Repair or replacement of colored, stamped concrete or river rock surfacing; • Solid waste and litter collection
As previously described, LLMD 2019-01 currently consists of a single Benefit Zone. Should additional properties or service areas be incorporated into the district in the future, each new area may be established as a separate Benefit Zone. The type and extent of improvements maintained and operated within each zone may differ based on the specific facilities and services provided to the benefiting properties.

The landscape improvements within LLMD 2019-01 are maintained and serviced on an ongoing basis to preserve their intended appearance and functionality. City staff evaluate maintenance and operational needs on a weekly basis and determine the appropriate level and frequency of services required within the district and its Benefit Zone. The resulting costs associated with the operation, maintenance, and servicing of these improvements are allocated among the benefiting parcels in proportion to the special benefits received by each property.

2.3 Lighting Operation and Maintenance
LLMD 2019-01 includes supplemental lighting in the neighborhood park area. Cost for operation and maintenance of this light are included in the initial assessment. These costs include:
• Electrical power
• Lamp and LED replacement
• Graffiti removal and/or painting
• Replacement of broken or damaged parts
No other lighting improvements are included in LLMD 2019-01 at this time. As additional Benefit Zones are added, the costs of operating and maintaining the full variety of supplemental lighting improvements within those new Benefit Zones may be assessed to properties within those zones.

Section Three: Method of Assessment
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 3-1
3 Method of Assessment
In accordance with the Act, assessment costs may be allocated using any methodology that reasonably and equitably distributes the total assessable expenses among the benefiting parcels based on the level of special benefit each property receives from the improvements and services provided. To satisfy this requirement, the assessment methodology for LLMD 2019-01 considers factors such as parcel land use characteristics, the nature of the improvements being maintained and operated, and the specific maintenance and operational services provided within the district.

The City is required to identify all parcels that receive a special benefit from the improvements and services funded through the LLMD and are therefore subject to assessment. This determination is made by evaluating each parcel’s relationship to the improvements, as well as the associated maintenance and operational costs incurred to provide those benefits.

3.1 Benefit Analysis
In conjunction with the provisions of the Act, the California Constitution, in Article XIIID, defines a number of terms which are essential to an acceptable and equitable levy of assessments:

Section 2d defines “District” as follows:
“an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property related service.” Section 2i defines “Special Benefit” as follows:
“a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.”
Section 4a defines “Proportional Special Benefit Assessments” as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.”

3.2 Potential Special Benefits of Landscaping Improvements The special benefits of additional landscaping within the LLMD boundaries include:
• Enhanced aesthetic environment
• Additional greenspace and shade within the tract
• Enhanced home values due to increase in overall greenspace within the development.

3.3 Potential Special Benefits of Special Lighting Improvements The potential benefits of special landscape and lighting within the boundaries of the LLMD include:
• Convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods • Improvement of usability of greenspace areas
• Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection • Improved ability of pedestrians to see potential obstacles

3.4 Assessment Methodology
Within LLMD 2019-01, each parcel is assigned a weighting factor referred to as an Assessment Unit (AU), which is used to determine the parcel’s proportional share of the special benefits provided by the district improvements. The number of AUs assigned to a parcel is based on factors such as land use classification, development status, and/or parcel size relative to other properties within the district, as applicable to the type of cost being allocated.

A standard single-family residential parcel is assigned an AU value of 1.00 and serves as the baseline for the assessment methodology. Other land use categories are assigned AU values that reflect the relative level of special benefit received when compared to a typical single-family residential parcel.

For each Benefit Zone, the total assessable amount, commonly referred to in the Act as the Balance to Levy, is divided by the total number of Assessment Units within that zone to determine the assessment rate per AU. The assessment for an individual parcel is then calculated by multiplying the applicable assessment rate by the parcel’s assigned AU value, resulting in the parcel’s annual levy amount.

Put mathematically, the formulas for the method of apportionment will be as follows:

Total Balance to Levy / Total AU in Zone = Levy per AU (Rate) Levy per AU (Rate) x Parcel’s Calculated AU = Parcel’s Levy Amount LLMD 2019-01 is established to fund the operation, maintenance, and servicing of improvements that enhance the appearance, visual character, and public safety of the properties located within the district.

These improvements provide direct and identifiable special benefits to the parcels subject to assessment within LLMD 2019-01.

The assessments and apportionment methodology presented in this Report are founded on the principle that assessment revenues will be used exclusively for the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the landscape and lighting improvements located within LLMD 2019-01. Furthermore, all revenues generated through the assessments levied within the district will be dedicated solely to these purposes.

Based upon the analysis contained in this Engineer’s Report, the following findings are made:

Section Three: Method of Assessment
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 3-3
• The costs of operation and maintenance of the proposed improvements have been identified and allocated to properties within LLMD 2019-01 based on a determined special benefit. • The LLMD improvements are not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the LLMD 2019-01 boundary. Therefore, any public access or use of these local improvements by others is incidental and there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside LLMD 2019-01 or to the public at large. • The LLMD improvements, associated costs and assessments are localized, and the construction and installation of the improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within LLMD 2019-01.
• The improvements provided by LLMD 2019-01 and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as an essential component and local amenity that provide a direct reflection and extension of the properties within LLMD 2019-01.
• The method of assessment set forth in this Report assumes that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape and lighting improvements within LLMD 2019-01, over and above any general community benefit.
• The assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel’s proportional share of special benefits as compared to other properties within LLMD 2019-01. • Pursuant to the provisions of the Act, the improvements and the associated costs described in this Report have been carefully reviewed and have been allocated proportionally to properties within LLMD 2019-01.

All parcels within LLMD 2019-01 are assigned a residential land use designation by the City. Although land use classifications, such as residential versus non-residential uses, are often utilized in determining the relative special benefit received by properties within a Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District, that distinction is not applicable in this case because all parcels within the district share the same residential classification.

Landscape improvements serving residential developments are generally located along subdivision perimeter streets, within common areas, or in locations that are readily accessible to residents throughout the neighborhood. As a result, these improvements are considered to provide a substantially equal and similar level of benefit to each residential dwelling unit within the development. Accordingly, each residential parcel is assigned 1.00 Assessment Unit (AU) for purposes of allocating landscape maintenance costs, regardless of whether a residence has been constructed or the parcel remains approved for future residential development.

Likewise, the supplemental landscaping and lighting improvements located within and adjacent to the subdivision are considered to provide a reasonably equivalent level of special benefit to all residential properties within the district. Therefore, each residential parcel is assigned 1.00 AU for the allocation of these costs as well.

Consistent with City practice, no assessments are levied for standard street lighting improvements.

Therefore, standard street lighting costs are not included in the assessments established for LLMD 2019-

Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 3-4

3.5 Annual Adjustments to Assessments
The costs associated with operating and maintaining district improvements are subject to increases over time due to inflation and other economic factors. Under normal circumstances, increases in assessments to recover these higher costs may require specific noticing, public hearing, and balloting procedures as prescribed by law. However, Government Code Section 54954.6(o) provides that a “new or increased assessment” does not include an assessment that remains within a previously approved assessment formula or authorized range adopted by the agency or approved by affected property owners. This interpretation was subsequently reaffirmed through Senate Bill 919, which implemented the provisions of Proposition 218.

Accordingly, LLMD 2019-01 includes an assessment adjustment mechanism that allows annual modifications to the maximum authorized assessment without requiring additional assessment proceedings, provided the adjustment remains within the previously approved formula. The assessment adjustment methodology applicable to LLMD 2019-01 is described below:

The maximum assessment amount allowed for each fiscal year may be increased in an amount equal to the greater of: (1) three percent (3.0%), or (2) the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Consumer Price Index to be applied is for the West Region for All Urban Consumers, as developed by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

For each fiscal year, the City shall calculate the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) by comparing the CPI published for January 1 of the current year with the CPI published for January 1 of the preceding year, or another comparable 12-month measurement period. The resulting percentage increase shall establish the maximum adjustment permitted under the CPI-based assessment escalation formula. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics modifies, replaces, or discontinues publication of the applicable CPI index, the City may utilize the revised index or another comparable cost-of-living measure approved by the City Council to determine annual inflationary adjustments.

Notwithstanding the maximum increase authorized under the adjustment formula, the City Council may determine that a lesser assessment increase, or no increase at all, is appropriate for a given fiscal year and may adopt assessments below the allowable maximum level. Conversely, if the financial requirements of the LLMD or any Benefit Zone exceed the revenues generated through the authorized adjustment formula and a larger increase is necessary to maintain adequate funding, solvency, or cash flow, the City may propose an assessment increase above the formula amount. Any such increase would be subject to the applicable noticing, hearing, and majority protest procedures required by law for assessment increases.

3.6 LLMD Budget for Maintenance and Operations
The following tables present summaries of the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District budgets for LLMD 2019-01. The budget summaries identify the estimated costs associated with the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the district improvements, as well as the assessment rates applied to each Assessment Unit within the district’s single Benefit Zone. These assessment rates are calculated to generate the revenue necessary to fund the improvements and services that provide special benefits to the properties within LLMD 2019-01.

Section Three: Method of Assessment
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 3-5
The improvements maintained through LLMD 2019-01 were accepted by and dedicated to the City in phases. The neighborhood park landscaping and lighting improvements were accepted on February 9, 2021; the landscaping improvements along Barboza Street were accepted on May 25, 2021; and the landscaping improvements along Bass Avenue were accepted on April 12, 2022.

The City has incurred ongoing expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of LLMD 2019-

01. While landscape maintenance expenditures have remained within the current budgeted amounts, lighting-related costs have experienced increases. Based on the annual adjustment provisions of the district, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase calculated between January 2025 and January 2026 is

3.0 percent. Accordingly, this adjustment will be applied to the Lighting Maintenance Budget assessment levy for the current fiscal year.

Table 3-1 presents the budget for landscape maintenance over a year of operation.

AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVING THE PROPOSAL FROM PRECISION CIVIL ENGINEERING, INC. TO PREPARE

A MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW AND PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CITY OF MENDOTA’S PENDING SPHERE OF INFLUENCE AMENDMENT

APPLICATION BEFORE THE FRESNO LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION DATE: JULY 7, 2026
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-48, approving the proposal from Precision Civil Engineering, Inc. to prepare a Municipal Service Review and provide support services associated with the City of Mendota’s pending Sphere of Influence Amendment application before the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission.

BACKGROUND
The proposed Municipal Service Review (“MSR”) is intended to support the City of Mendota's pending Sphere of Influence (“SOI”) Amendment before the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission (“LAFCo”). The proposed SOI amendment would expand the City's Sphere of Influence by approximately 697.5 acres to accommodate planned long-term growth, including future residential neighborhoods, commercial development, educational facilities, parks, employment centers, and supporting public infrastructure within the City's southwest growth area.

Preparation of an updated Municipal Service Review is required by Fresno LAFCo to evaluate the City's ability to provide adequate municipal services to both existing residents and future development within the proposed SOI expansion area. The MSR will build upon the City's previously completed planning efforts, including the 2019 Water Master Plan, 2021 Wastewater Master Plan, 2022 Storm Drain Master Plan, General Plan Update, and other supporting infrastructure and financial planning documents. The study will evaluate the existing and planned capacity of the City's water, wastewater, storm drainage, transportation, public safety, parks, and administrative services to determine whether adequate public facilities and service levels can be maintained as the City grows.

To complete this effort, the City proposes to retain Precision Civil Engineering, Inc. to prepare the Municipal Service Review, coordinate with Fresno LAFCo, develop the required technical analyses and determinations, prepare all supporting documentation for the SOI Amendment, and provide hearing support through completion of the LAFCo review process.

ANALYSIS
The proposal from the City Engineer, Precision Civil Engineering has been reviewed and it is comprehensive to meet the current needs of the City.
2 FISCAL IMPACT
The fees for the professional services will be paid using the General Fund (80%), Water Fund (10%), and Sewer Fund (10%).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-48, approving the proposal from Precision Civil Engineering, Inc. to prepare a Municipal Service Review and provide support services associated with the City of Mendota’s pending Sphere of Influence Amendment application before the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission in total amount of $37,500.00.

I. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Precision Civil Engineering, Inc. (PCE) is pleased to provide this Task Order to prepare a Municipal Service Review (MSR) and provide support services associated with the City of Mendota's pending Sphere of Influence (SOI) Amendment application before the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo).

The City Council has initiated a request to Fresno LAFCo to amend the City's Sphere of Influence to include approximately 697.5 acres of future growth area generally located west and northwest of the existing City limits. The proposed SOI expansion area includes land identified within the City's General Plan for future residential neighborhoods, industrial and employment uses, park expansion, recreation facilities, and supporting public infrastructure.

The proposed SOI amendment is associated with Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Tract No. 6541 and related future annexation efforts. Fresno LAFCo has indicated that preparation of a Municipal Service Review may be required pursuant to Government Code Section 56430 prior to consideration of the proposed SOI amendment.

PCE understands that substantial infrastructure planning has already been completed by the City, including:
• 2019 Water Master Plan
• 2021 Wastewater Master Plan
• 2022 Storm Drain Master Plan
• General Plan Update and Land Use Map
• Existing Development Impact Fee Programs
• Prior Municipal Service Review and Sphere of Influence Update (2007) These documents provide the foundation for evaluating the City's ability to provide municipal services to both existing residents and future growth areas.

The purpose of this assignment is to prepare an updated Municipal Service Review that satisfies Fresno LAFCo requirements and demonstrates the City's ability to provide services to existing and future development within the proposed SOI expansion area.

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND COMMISSIONERS
FROM: JEFFREY O’NEAL, AICP, CITY PLANNER
BY: ALEJANDRA LOPEZ GONZALEZ, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: APPLICATION NO. 26-02, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONE, ABANDONMENT OF

RIGHT OF WAY, AND SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR CANTU APARTMENTS PROJECT DATE: JULY 7, 2026
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-49, in the matter of Application No. 26-02, approving a General Plan Amendment (“GPA”), abandonment of right-of-way, and Site Plan Review (“SPR”) and introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 26-02 approving a rezone for the Cantu Apartments Project and further, approving an Initial Study/Negative Declaration finding that such activities authorized under the GPA, rezone, abandonment of right of way, and SPR would not result in significant adverse environmental effects?

BACKGROUND
Mariano Peralta (“Applicant”), on behalf of Peralta Properties, has submitted an application for a GPA, rezone, abandonment of right-of-way, and a SPR which would allow for the construction and operation of a new 16-unit apartment building (“Project”) at Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) 013-241-19. The site is generally located at the northeast corner of the intersection of State Route (“SR”) 33 and 6th Street. The site is approximately 30,492 square feet (“SF”) or 0.70 acres in size, inclusive of APN 013-241-19 (0.44 acres) and a 0.26-acre portion of Tule Street that has been proposed for abandonment between 6th Street and SR 33 (“Project site”). The Project site is designated Medium High Density Residential (“MHDR”) by the City of Mendota’s (“City(s)”) General Plan and is zoned R-1 (Single Family/Medium Density Residential – Min. 6,000 SF Per Lot) by the City’s Official Zoning Map. The Project proposes to amend the General Plan land use designation for APN 013-241-09 from MHDR to High Density Residential (“HDR”) and proposes to rezone the APN 013-241-09 from R-1 to R-3 (High Density Residential Multiple Family Residential). If approved, the abandoned right of way would also be given an HDR General Plan land use designation and would be zoned R-3, consistent with APN 013-241-19.

Mendota Municipal Code (“MMC”) Section 17.24.040 prohibits multiple residential uses within the R-1 zone district. Approval of the proposed rezone to R-3 would allow the desired use of the property, pursuant to MMC Section 17.32.020. Currently, there are three residences located on APN 013-241-19. These residences would be demolished as part of the Project.

At its regular meeting on June 23, 2026, the Mendota Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 26-02 by a 5-0 vote, forwarding a recommendation to the City Council to approve a GPA, rezone, abandonment of right-of-way, SPR, and an Initial Study/Negative Declaration. 2 ANALYSIS

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
As discussed above, the Project site is designated MHDR by the City’s General Plan Land Use Diagram. The Applicant has proposed to amend the General Plan land use designation for APN 013-241-19 from MHDR to HDR. The proposed Project consists of a 16-unit apartment complex on approximately 0.70 acres. Following approval of the proposed General Plan Amendment, the Project would be developed at a density that is consistent with the HDR designation and within the density range established in Table 2-4 of the City of Mendota General Plan.

REZONE
In conjunction with the proposed General Plan Amendment, the Applicant has requested a rezoning of the Project site from the R-1 to the R-3. The proposed R-3 zoning designation is consistent with the proposed HDR General Plan land use designation and would be consistent with the proposed density.

SITE PLAN
The Applicant submitted a site plan and building elevations for the proposed 16-unit apartment complex. The Project includes four residential buildings, each containing four dwelling units, with two units located on the first floor and two units located on the second floor. In addition to the residential buildings, the site plan proposes an 1,802 SF common open space area, a 25-space parking lot, including one ADA-accessible parking space, and associated site improvements. Staff have reviewed the site plan and have placed conditions on it, as appropriate.

ABANDONMENT OF RIGHT OF WAY
The Applicant proposes that the City vacate the portion of Tule Street located between 6th Street and State Route 33. The vacated right-of-way is proposed to be incorporated into the Project site and would be developed as a parking area to serve the proposed 16-unit apartment complex. If the right-of-way vacation is approved, the 0.26-acre portion of Tule Street would no longer be needed for public street purposes and would be assigned a HDR General Plan land use designation and an R-3 zoning designation, consistent with the designations proposed for APN 013-241-19. If the abandonment of right-of-way is not approved, the proposed Project would exceed the allowable density on APN 013-241-19. Furthermore, once vacated, the subject right-of-way would be relinquished proportionally to parcels fronting the right-of-way. This would result in portions of the right-of-way being relinquished to parcels which the Applicant does not own and will necessitate that the Applicant acquire those portions. Additionally, because the existing beauty salon to the southwest of the Project site uses this portion of Tule Street to access its parking lot, an access easement through the proposed parking lot would be required to be provided to the beauty salon.

PARKING
The Project includes a 25-space parking lot, including one ADA-accessible parking space, to serve the 16-unit apartment complex. Based on staff's review, the number of parking spaces provided would satisfy the off-street parking requirements for multifamily residential development established in MMC Section 17.88.010(A)(9)(d)(ix).
3 The proposed parking area is located within the portion of Tule Street proposed for abandonment between 6th Street and State Route 33. Accordingly, the Project's ability to meet the required parking standards is reliant upon approval of the requested right-of-way abandonment. If the abandonment is approved, the Project would provide sufficient parking to comply with the applicable provisions of the MMC.

LANDSCAPING
The Applicant will be required to submit a landscaping plan to ensure compliance with State water efficient landscaping requirements. Review and approval of the submitted landscape plan and related irrigation plans are required prior to building permit issuance.

ELEVATIONS
The construction of the building approved under the Project is conditioned to conform with the elevation drawings, including the color and materials schedule, submitted as a part of the Project application.

PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
The Project includes a trash enclosure that would be constructed to City standards. Pursuant to Senate Bill 1383, the trash enclosure must provide sufficient capacity for solid waste, recyclables, and organics.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The first step in complying with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is to determine whether the activity in question constitutes a “project” as defined by CEQA, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations Section 15000, et seq. The second step is to determine whether the project is subject to or exempt from the statute. This proposal qualifies as a project under CEQA because it involves the issuance to a person of a “lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use” as described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.

Pursuant to the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Sections 15070 through 15075, an Initial Study was prepared to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the Project.

Based on the analysis contained in the Initial Study, it was determined that the Project would not result in significant adverse environmental effects. Accordingly, a Negative Declaration has been prepared and is attached to Resolution No. 26-49.

PUBLIC NOTICE
In accordance with MMC Section 17.08.040(F) and Section 17.08.090(G)(1), a Notice of Public Hearing was published in The Business Journal on June 26, 2026. It was also sent via US Mail to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed Project and posted at City Hall and on the City’s website.

SITE PLAN REVIEW FINDINGS
The following findings, pursuant to MMC Section 17.08.090(G)(3), have been made in relation to the Site Plan Review:
4 1. The site plan is consistent with the requirements of the zoning ordinance.

The proposed Project consists of the development of a 16-unit multifamily residential complex on a site currently zoned R-1. As part of the Project, the Applicant requests a rezoning of the property to the R-3 zoning district, which is consistent with the proposed residential use and density, contingent upon the City Council also approving an abandonment of right of way and the Applicant acquiring the abandoned right of way. If approved, the abandoned right of way would be given a zoning designation of R-3. Staff have reviewed the Project for compliance with applicable development standards and has incorporated conditions of approval, to ensure consistency with the City's Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, the Project would be consistent with the requirements of the zoning ordinance.

2. The site plan is consistent with the general plan.

The proposed Project consists of the development of a 16-unit apartment complex on an existing 0.44-acre parcel and 0.26 acres of existing right-of-way proposed for abandonment as a part of the Project. The existing parcel is currently designated MHDR under the City's General Plan. As part of the Project, the Applicant proposes a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from MHDR to HDR. The proposed HDR designation would also be applied to the abandoned right-of-way, if approved, and would be consistent with the Project's residential use and proposed density. Upon approval of the General Plan Amendment, the Project would conform to the applicable land use designation and density standards established by the General Plan. Therefore, the Project would be consistent with the General Plan.

3. The following are so arranged that traffic congestion is avoided, pedestrian and vehicular safety are protected, and there will be no significant adverse effect on surrounding properties or the environment:
a. Facilities and improvements;
b. Vehicular ingress, egress, and internal circulation; c. Setbacks;
d. Height of buildings;
e. Location of services;
f. Walls;
g. Landscaping;
h. Lighting is so arranged as to reflect light away from adjoining properties; and i. Signs.

The proposed Project consists of the development of a new 16-unit apartment complex.

The application also includes a request to vacate a portion of Tule Street between 6th Street and State Route 33 to accommodate a 25-space parking lot serving the development.

The Project includes a trash enclosure, which has been conditioned to comply with applicable City standards. Additional conditions of approval have been incorporated to 5 ensure adequate provision of transportation and utility infrastructure and to address potential impacts related to site development.

As conditioned, the Project is designed to avoid significant adverse effects on surrounding properties and the environment.

ABANDONMENT OF RIGHT OF WAY FINDINGS
The following findings pursuant to California Street and Highways Code Section 8324(b):

1. The portion of Tule Street proposed for vacation is unnecessary for present or prospective public use.

The Project proposes an abandonment of right-of-way for the Project, vacating the portion of Tule Street between 6th Street and SR 33, subject to the conditions contained in Resolution No. 26-49.

FISCAL IMPACT
Costs for processes initiated by applicants are paid for through application fees. There is no impact to the General Fund or other City funds.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopts Resolution No. 26-49, approving the GPA, the abandonment of right-of-way, the site plan review, and CEQA Initial Study/Negative Declaration and introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 26-02.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group (Provost & Pritchard) has prepared this Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND) on behalf of the City of Mendota to address the environmental effects of the Cantu Apartments (Project). This document has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. The City is the CEQA lead agency for this Project.

The site and the Project are described in detail in Chapter 2 Project Description.

1.1 REGULATORY INFORMATION
An Initial Study (IS) is a document prepared by a lead agency to determine whether a project may have a significant effect on the environment. In accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 14 (Chapter 3, Section 15000, et seq.)-- also known as the CEQA Guidelines--Section 15064 (a)(1) states that an environmental impact report (EIR) must be prepared if there is substantial evidence in light of the whole record that the Project under review may have a significant effect on the environment and should be further analyzed to determine mitigation measures or project alternatives that might avoid or reduce project impacts to less than significant levels. A negative declaration (ND) may be prepared instead if the lead agency finds that there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. An ND is a written statement describing the reasons why a proposed Project, not otherwise exempt from CEQA, would not have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, why it would not require the preparation of an EIR (CEQA Guidelines Section 15371). According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15070, a ND or mitigated ND shall be prepared for a project subject to CEQA when either:
a. The IS shows there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the proposed Project may have a significant effect on the environment, or b. The IS identified potentially significant effects, but:

1. Revisions in the project plans or proposals made by or agreed to by the applicant before the proposed MND and IS is released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur is prepared, and

2. There is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the proposed Project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment.

1.2 DOCUMENT FORMAT
This IS/ND contains five chapters Chapter 1 Introduction, provides an overview of the Project and the CEQA process Chapter 2 Project Description, provides a detailed description of proposed Project components and objectives. Chapter 3 Determination, the Lead Agency’s determination based upon this initial evaluation. Chapter 4 Environmental Impact Analysis presents the CEQA checklist and environmental analysis for all impact areas, mandatory findings of significance, and feasible mitigation measures. If the Project does not have the potential to significantly impact a given issue area, the relevant section provides a brief discussion of the reasons why no impacts are expected. If the Project could have a potentially significant impact on a resource, the issue area discussion provides a description of potential impacts, and appropriate mitigation measures and/or permit requirements that would reduce those impacts to a less than significant level. Chapter 5 References details the documents and reports this document relies upon to provide its analysis.

The CalEEMod Output Files and Cultural Resources Information are provided as technical Appendix A and Appendix B respectively, at the end of this document.

2.1.7 DESCRIPTIONOF THEPROJECT
The City of Mendota (City) has received an application that proposes to construct a 16-unit apartment complex, with an 1,802square foot open spacearea that includes a playground, a 25-stall parking lot (with one Americans with Disabilities Act stall), and other minor site improvements (Project). The Project would \MMNprovostondpritchard.com 2-1

Chapter 2: Project Description
www.provostandpritchard.com 2-2
be located on APN 013-241-19 and a 0.26-acre portion of Tule Street between 6th Street and State Route (SR) 33 in the City (Project Site) that the Project proponent has proposed that the City vacate for use of this existing right of way by the Project. The apartment complex would comprise of four total buildings, each with two first story and two second story units. Currently, APN 013-241-19 is designated as Medium High Density Residential, and the is zoned as R-1. The Project proposes to amend the City of Mendota General Plan land use designation for APN 013-241-19 from Medium High Density Residential to High Density Residential. Additionally, APN 013-241-19 would be rezoned from R-1 to R-3 as a part of the Project, consistent with the proposed High Density Residential land use designation. There are three residences currently located on APN 013-241-19. These residences would be demolished as a part of the Project.

Along with the development of the apartment complex, the Project proposes the addition of a parking lot on the southeastern corner of the Project site. The parking lot would be developed along the existing Tule Street which has been proposed for abandonment between 6th Street and SR 33. If approved, the abandoned right of way would be designated with a General Plan land use designation of High Density Residential and would be zoned R-3, consistent with the rest of the Project site.

The analyses of environmental impacts in Chapter 4 Environmental Impact Analysis result in an impact statement, which shall have the following meanings.

Potentially Significant Impact. This category is applicable if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant, and no feasible mitigation measures can be identified to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.

Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. This category applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures would reduce an effect from a “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measure(s), and briefly explain how they would reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from earlier analyses may be cross-referenced).

Less than Significant Impact. This category is identified when the proposed Project would result in impacts below the threshold of significance, and no mitigation measures are required.

No Impact. This category applies when a project would not create an impact in the specific environmental issue area. “No Impact” answers do not require a detailed explanation if they are adequately supported by the information sources cited by the lead agency, which show that the impact does not apply to the specific project (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).

3.2 DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation (to be completed by the Lead Agency):

I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

I find that the proposed project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets.

An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. 6/2/2026

d) Create a new source of substantial light
or glare which would adversely affect
day or nighttime views in the area?

4.1.1 BASELINE CONDITIONS
The Project site is located in a urbanized area within the City, immediately adjacent to a major roadway, SR 33, to the west. The site is surrounded by residential and commercial land. Regional views from the Project site are generally limited due to the flat landscape, and surrounding urban development; however the Coastal Mountain Range is partially visible to the southwest. There are no designated scenic vistas on the Project site or in the vicinity. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City or surrounding area.1

4.1.2 IMPACT ANALYSIS
a) Have substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
No Impact. The Project would result in the construction of a 16-unit apartment complex that may partially block existing views of the Coastal Mountain Range to the southwest; however, the views of the mountain range is already partial as the Project is located in an urbanized area with existing development.

No Impact. The nearest State scenic highway, SR 168 is located approximately 36 miles east of the Project site.
2 SR 168 would not be visible from the Project site, nor would the Project site be visible from SR 168.

Therefore, there would be no impact.
c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Project would result in a General Plan Amendment and rezoning of a parcel to comply with the City’s General Plan land use designation and zoning requirements for the proposed 16-unit apartment complex. Subsequent to these actions, construction of the proposed complex would be required to meet all applicable City development standards. Construction of the 16- unit apartment complex would be developed in a manner that would not degrade the existing visual character and would be consistent with the character of the neighboring residential development.

Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Project includes the development of a 16-unit apartment complex adjacent to an existing neighborhood. While the Project would introduce new light in the vicinity of the Project site, the development of the complex abuts similar existing development. Additionally, the Project site is planned for residential development by the City’s General Plan and would be developed as such as a part of the Project. Prior to construction a lighting plan would be required to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. 2 Ibid.

4.2.1 BASELINE CONDITIONS
The California Department of Conservation’s (DOC) 2012 Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) is a non-regulatory program that produces "Important Farmland" maps and statistical data used for analyzing impacts on California’s agricultural resources. The Important Farmland maps identify eight land use categories, five of which are agriculture related: prime farmland, farmland of Statewide importance, unique farmland, farmland of local importance, and grazing land – rated according to soil quality and irrigation status. The eight categories are summarized below3 :
• PRIME FARMLAND (P): Farmland with the best combination of physical and chemical features able to sustain long term agricultural production. This land has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields. Land must have been used for irrigated agricultural production at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date. • FARMLAND OF STATEWIDE IMPORTANCE (S): Farmland similar to Prime Farmland but with minor shortcomings, such as greater slopes or less ability to store soil moisture. Land must have been used for irrigated agricultural production at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date.
• UNIQUE FARMLAND (U): Farmland of lesser quality soils used for the production of the State's leading agricultural crops. This land is usually irrigated but may include non- irrigated orchards or vineyards as found in some climatic zones in California. Land must have been cropped at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date.

• FARMLAND OF LOCAL IMPORTANCE (L): Land of importance to the local agricultural economy as determined by each county's board of supervisors and a local advisory committee. • GRAZING LAND (G): Land on which the existing vegetation is suited to the grazing of livestock. The minimum mapping unit for Grazing Land is 40 acres.
• URBAN AND BUILT-UP LAND (D): Land occupied by structures with a building density of at least 1 unit to 1.5 acres, or approximately 6 structures to a 10-acre parcel. This land is used for residential, industrial, commercial, institutional, public administrative purposes, railroad and other transportation yards, cemeteries, airports, golf courses, sanitary landfills, sewage treatment, water control structures, and other developed purposes.
• OTHER LAND (X): Land not included in any other mapping category. Common examples include low density rural developments; brush, timber, wetland, and riparian areas not suitable for livestock grazing; confined livestock, poultry or aquaculture facilities; strip mines, borrow pits; and water bodies smaller than 40 acres. Vacant and non-agricultural land surrounded on all sides by urban development and greater than 40 acres is mapped as Other Land. • WATER (W): Perennial water bodies with an extent of at least 40 acres.

4.2.2 IMPACT ANALYSIS
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
No Impact. As mentioned above, the Project site is designated as Urban and Built-Up Land by the FMMP.

As a result, the Project would not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural use. Therefore, there would be no impact. b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. Currently, the Project site is designated as Medium High Density Residential in the City of Mendota General Plan and is zoned R-1. The Project proposes to amend the General Plan land use designation from Medium High Density Residential to High Density Residential and rezone the site from R-1 to R-3, consistent with the proposed land use designation. The proposed rezoning would not conflict with any existing zoning for agricultural use, as the site is currently zoned for residential uses. In addition, the Project site is not subject to a Williamson Act contract. Therefore, there would be no impact. c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? No Impact. The Project would not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production. As described above, the Project site is currently zoned R-1 by the City and would be rezoned to R-3 as part of the Project. No forest land or timberland exists on the site. Therefore, the Project would result in no impact. 4 (California Department of Conservation, 2022)

4.3.1 BASELINE CONDITIONS
The Project site is located within the boundaries of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) and the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB). The SJVAB is positioned within the San Joaquin Valley of California. The San Joaquin Valley is bounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range to the east and the Coastal Mountain Range to the west. Wind within the SJVAB typically channels south-southwest during the summer months, while wind flows to the north-northwest during the winter months. Wind velocity for the region is considered low for an area of such size.6 Due to a lack of strong wind and the natural confinement of the mountain ranges surrounding the SJVAB, the region experiences some of the worst air quality in the world.

Regulatory Attainment Designations
Under the California Clean Air Act (CCAA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is required to designate areas of the State as attainment, nonattainment, or unclassified with respect to applicable standards. An “attainment” designation for an area signifies that pollutant concentrations did not violate the applicable standard in that area. A “nonattainment” designation indicates that a pollutant concentration violated the applicable standard at least once, excluding those occasions when a violation was caused by an exceptional event, as defined in the criteria. Depending on the frequency and severity of pollutants exceeding applicable standards, the nonattainment designation can be further classified as serious nonattainment, severe nonattainment, or extreme nonattainment, with extreme nonattainment being the most severe of the classifications. An “unclassified” designation signifies that the data does not support either an attainment or nonattainment designation. The CCAA divides districts into moderate, serious, and severe air pollution categories, with increasingly stringent control requirements mandated for each category.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) designates areas for ozone, CO, and NO2 as “does not meet the primary standards,” “cannot be classified,” or “better than national standards.” For SO2, areas are designated as “does not meet the primary standards,” “does not meet the secondary standards,” “cannot be classified,” or “better than national standards.” However, the CARB terminology of attainment, nonattainment, and unclassified is more frequently used.

subcategories for nonattainment status: serious, severe, and extreme. In 1991, USEPA assigned new nonattainment designations to areas that had previously been classified as Group I, II, or III for PM10 based on the likelihood that they would violate national PM10 standards. All other areas are designated “unclassified.”
According to the USEPA, Fresno County was in non-attainment for two pollutant concentrations, with PM2.5 (2012) being classified as in serious non-attainment, and 8-hour Ozone (2015) classified as being in extreme non-attainment as of May 22, 2026.7

Thresholds of Significance
Air pollutant emissions have regional effects and localized effects. This analysis assesses the regional effects of the Project’s criteria pollutant emissions in comparison to SJVAPCD thresholds of significance for shortterm construction activities and long-term operation of the Project. Localized emissions from Project construction and operation are also assessed using concentration-based thresholds that determine if the Project would result in a localized exceedance of any ambient air quality standards or would make a cumulatively considerable contribution to an existing exceedance.

The primary pollutants of concern during Project construction and operation are ROG (reactive organic gases), NOX, PM10, and PM2.5. The SJVAPCD Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts, adopted in 2015, contains thresholds for ROG and Nitrogen Oxides (NOX); Sulfur Oxides (SOX), CO, PM10, and PM2.5.

The SJVAPCD adopted significance thresholds for construction-related and operational ROG, NOX, PM, CO, and SOX, these thresholds are included in Table 4-5.

a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? No Impact. The Project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of any applicable air quality plan. The proposed Project would not exceed any threshold for air quality emissions that has been set by the SJVAPCD. Therefore, there would be no impact.
b) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? Less than Significant Impact. The Project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the Project region is in non-attainment. As shown in Table 4-6, Table 4-7, and Table 4-8 the Project would not exceed an emissions threshold which has been set by the SJVAPCD for construction or operational related emissions. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. c) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less than Significant Impact. As discussed above, the proposed Project would not result in significant long-term operational emissions. Constructed related emissions, shown in Table 4-6 and Table 4-8, would be temporary in nature and would cease upon Project construction. Short-term construction activities, however, could result in temporary increases in pollutant concentrations that could impact nearby sensitive receptors. Sensitive Receptors are groups that would be more affected by air, noise, and light pollution, pesticides, and other toxic chemicals than others. This includes infants, children under 16, elderly over 65, athletes, and people with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? No Impact. The Project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of any applicable air quality plan. The proposed Project would not exceedany threshold for air quality emissionsthat has been set by the SJVAPCD.Therefore, there would be no impact.
b) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? Lessthan Significant Impact. The Project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the Project region is in non—attainment.As shown in Table 4-6, Table 4-7, and Table 4-8 the Project would not exceed an emissions threshold which has been set by the SJVAPCD for construction or operational related emissions.Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. c) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less than Significant Impact. As discussedabove, the proposed Project would not result in significant long-term operational emissions.Constructed related emissions,shown in Table 4-6 andTable4-8,would be temporary in nature and would cease upon Project construction. Short-term construction activities, however, could result in temporary increases in pollutant concentrations that could impact nearby sensitive receptors. Sensitive Receptors are groups that would be more affected by air, noise, and light pollution, pesticides, and other toxic chemicals than others. This includes infants, children under 16, elderly over 65, athletes, and people with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.High concentrations of these groups would include daycares, residential areas, hospitals, elder care facilities, schools and parks.

Less than Significant Impact. During construction activities, construction equipment exhaust and application of asphalt, structural coating and other construction applications would temporarily emit odors. Construction would be completed on land currently in the City of Mendota's city limits and could have an effect on some residences that would be located near the construction area of the Project.

Construction of the Project would be temporary, and odors would not remain after Project completion.

Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
No Impact. As stated above, the Project site is located in a heavily disturbed and previously developed area. Due to the nature of the Project site, there is no potential for special status species to occur due to the absence of suitable habitat. Therefore, there would be no impact. b) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact. The Project is located on previously developed residential land. There is no riparian habitat or other sensitive natural habitat under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service found in the Project area.8 Therefore, there would be no
impact.
c) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? No Impact. There is no riparian habitat present in the Project area. The nearest designated wetland, a Freshwater Emergent Wetland, is located approximately 0.9 miles southeast of the Project site.9 Therefore, there would be no impact.
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
No Impact. Wildlife movement corridors are routes that wild animals regularly and predictably follow during seasonal migration, dispersal from native ranges, daily travel within home ranges, and interpopulation movements. Movement corridors in California are typically associated with valleys, ridgelines, rivers and creeks supporting riparian vegetation. As stated above, the Project site is located in a heavily disturbed and previously developed area. Additionally, the area surrounding the Project site is also largely disturbed and urbanized; therefore, the Project site does not consist of land that would be compatible with a wildlife movement corridor and none are known to exist on the site. Therefore, there would be no impact.
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
No Impact. The Project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. The City also does not have a tree preservation ordinance. The Project would be required to comply with all local policies and regulations protecting biological resources. Therefore, there would be no impact. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? 8 (United States Fish & Wildlife Service, 2025)

4.5.1 BASELINE CONDITIONS
The Southern Pacific Railroad established a storage facility and switching company in 1891 at the site of present-day Mendota; the City was incorporated in 1942. The City is located in the San Joaquin Valley of California, about 32 miles west of Fresno. The railway heavily contributed to the expansion of agriculture within the City. The City has historically grown alfalfa, wheat, barley, oats, cantaloupe, pomegranates, cotton, sugar beets, and tomatoes. The Project site is located within the City of Mendota and has been previously developed.

4.5.1.1 NATIVE AMERICAN OUTREACH
The NAHC identifies, catalogs, and protects Native American cultural resources - ancient places of special religious or social significance to Native Americans and known ancient graves and cemeteries of Native Americans on private and public lands in California. The NAHC is also charged with ensuring California Native American tribes’ accessibility to ancient Native American cultural resources on public lands, overseeing the treatment and disposition of inadvertently discovered Native American human remains and burial items, and administering the California Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (CalNAGPRA), among many other powers and duties. NAHC provides a current list of Native American Tribal contacts to notify of projects pursuant to SB 18. Tribal letters pursuant to AB 52 and SB 18 a description of the Project, the Project site plan, and a map of the Project site were sent to a list of tribes and are contained in Appendix B.

c) Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries?
No Impact. There is no evidence that the Project site has the potential to be an unknown burial site, or the site of buried human remains. In the unlikely event that humans remains are uncovered during construction, the Fresno County Coroner will be notified to investigate the remains and arrange proper treatment and disposition. If the remains are identified on the basis of archaeological context, age, cultural associations, or biological traits to be those of a Native American, California Health and Safety Code 7050.5 and Public Resources Code 5097.98 require that the coroner notify the NAHC within 24 hours of discovery. The NAHC will then identify the Most Likely Descendent who will be afforded an opportunity to make recommendations regarding the treatment and disposition of the remains.

Therefore, there would be no impact.

4.6.1 BASELINE CONDITIONS
The Project site is located within the City of Mendota city limits. The Project site is served by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for its electricity and natural gas needs.

4.6.2 IMPACT ANALYSIS
a) Would the project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less than Significant Impact. Fuel consumed by construction equipment would be the primary energy resource expended over the course of Project construction. For heavy-duty construction equipment, horsepower and load factor were assumed using default data from the CalEEMod model. Fuel use associated with construction vehicle trips generated by the Project was also estimated; trips include construction worker trips, haul trucks trips for material transport, and vendor trips for construction material deliveries. Fuel use from these vehicles traveling to the Project was based on (1) the projected number of trips the Project would generate (CalEEMod default values), (2) default average trip distance by land use in CalEEMod, and (3) fuel efficiencies estimated in the ARB 2017 Emissions Factors model (EMFAC2017) mobile source emission model.

Construction is estimated to consume a total of 17,885.61 gallons of diesel fuel and 795.10 gallons of gasoline fuel (see Appendix A). California Code of Regulations Title 13, Motor Vehicles, Section 2449(d)(2), Idling, limits idling times of construction vehicles to no more than 5 minutes, thereby precluding unnecessary and wasteful consumption of fuel because of unproductive idling of construction equipment. In addition, the energy consumption for construction activities would not be ongoing as they would be limited to the duration of Project construction.

The development’s anticipated annual energy consumption is approximately 87,223.98 kilowatt-hours and 442.39 therms of natural gas (see Appendix A). Energy consumption of residential uses is currently governed by the 2025 California Building Code, Part 6 for structures, and Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations for appliances. Energy consumption is anticipated to decrease over time as more energy efficient standards take effect and energy-consuming equipment reaches its end-of-life and necessitates replacement. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

uplifted Sierra Nevada Range.10 From the time the Central Valley first began to form, sediments derived from erosion of igneous and metamorphic rocks and consolidated marine sediments in the surrounding mountains have been transported into the Central Valley by streams. According to the Natural Resource Conservation Service’s Web Soil Survey, the Project is composed of Calflax clay loam, saline-sodic, wet, 0 to 1 percent slopes, MLRA 17. This soil has a low to moderate shrink-swell potential.11

4.7.1.2 FAULTS AND SEISMICITY
The Project site is not located on any known fault or fault zone, but it could experience seismic activity as a result of fault activity in other parts of the state. The nearest active fault, the Ortigalita Fault is located approximately 28 miles west of the Project site. The San Andreas Fault is located approximately 42 miles west of the Project site.12

4.7.1.3 LIQUEFACTION
Liquefaction is a seismic phenomenon in which loose, saturated granular and non-plastic, fine-grained soils lose their structure or strength when subjected to high-intensity ground shaking. Soil liquefaction causes ground failure that can damage roads, pipelines, underground cables, and buildings with shallow foundations. Liquefaction more commonly occurs in loose saturated materials. The Project site is not known to be located in an area that experiences liquefaction.13

4.7.1.4 SOIL SUBSIDENCE
Subsidence occurs below the surface when subsurface pressure is reduced by the withdrawal of fluids (e.g., groundwater, natural gas, oil) resulting in sinking of the ground. The Project is located in a portion of the Central Valley of California that is known as an area that has experienced soil subsidence due to groundwater overdraft.14

4.7.1.5 DAM AND LEVEE FAILURE
According to the California Department of Water Resources Dam Breach Inundation Map, the Project is not in an area that would be susceptible to flooding as a result of dam or levee failure.15

4.7.2 IMPACT ANALYSIS
a) Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking?
Less than Significant Impact. Ground shaking intensity is a function of distance from an earthquake’s epicenter and underlying geology. The most common impact associated with ground shaking is damage to structure.

meet California Building Code requirements governing potential structural damage due to earthquakes.

Moreover, the Project site is not located near any known faults or fault zones. The nearest active fault, the Ortigalita Fault, is located approximately 28 miles west of the Project site. As such, the Project would not cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death as a result in a rupture of a known earthquake fault, nor would it result in strong seismic activity from Project inundations. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? No Impact. The Project would result in the construction of a 16-unit apartment complex with an open space area, parking lot, and other minor site improvements. According to the DOC Earthquake Zones of Required Investigation Map, the Project is not located in an area susceptible to liquefaction. The new construction would not increase the likelihood for liquefaction to occur on or within the vicinity of the Project site. Therefore, there would be no impact.
iv. Landslides?
No Impact. The Project is located in a relatively flat area with little to no potential for landslides to occur.

Construction of the Project would not increase the likelihood for landslides to occur at the Project site.

Therefore, there would be no impact.
b) Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less than Significant Impact. Earthmoving activities associated with the Project would include excavation, trenching, grading, and construction. These activities could expose soils to erosion processes; however, site is previously developed and has been graded prior to the Project. While minor grading activities would occur as a result of the Project, any impacts related to grading activities would be minimal. The Project is not expected to result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
c) Would the project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
d) Would the project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? c) & d) Less than Significant Impact. The Project is located in a relatively flat area. There are no known geologic hazards located near the Project site. According to the Natural Resource Conservation Service’s Web Soil Survey, the Project is composed of Calflax clay loam, saline-sodic, wet, 0 to 1 percent slopes, MLRA 17. This soil has a low to moderate shrink-swell potential. Soils with a high silt or clay content are subject to subsidence. Subsidence typically occurs in areas with groundwater withdrawal or oil and natural gas extraction, which the Project site is located in, as described above. While Mendota is identified as an area subject to soil subsidence as a result of groundwater pumping, the site is previously developed and is not known to possess soils that would be unstable or unable to support the Project.

Moreover, the Project site is not located near any known faults or fault zones.The nearest active fault, the Ortigalita Fault, is located approximately 28 miles west of the Project site. Assuch, the Project would not cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death as a result in a rupture of a known earthquake fault, nor would it result in strong seismic activity from Project inundations.

Additionally, the site is not within an identified DOCGeologicEnergyManagement Division oil/gas field.16 The topography ofthe site is relatively flat with stable, native soils,and no apparent unique or significant landforms. Furthermore, the Project is in an area of low significancefor seismicactivity due to its distance from faults. Such factors minimize the potential for other geologic hazards such as landslides, lateral 16(California Department of Conservation, 2026)

spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse. Therefore, any development on the native stable soils is unlikely to become unstable and result in geologic hazards. In addition, the Project would be required to comply with current seismic protection standards in the California Building Code which would significantly limit potential seismic-related hazards such as landslides lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. e) Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? No Impact. The Project would not result in the use of septic tanks or any alternative wastewater disposal systems. Therefore, there would be no impact.
f) Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geological feature?
Less than Significant Impact. There are no known paleontological resources located on the Project site; however, during construction unique paleontological or geological resources could be unearthed. In this event, all construction would be required to stop, the City would be notified, and a qualified geologist and/or paleontologist would be consulted. If discoveries are uncovered, the Project would abide by recommendation of the geologist or paleontologist. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

gases?

4.8.1 BASELINE CONDITIONS
Commonly identified GHG emissions and sources include the following:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an odorless, colorless natural greenhouse gas. CO2 is emitted from natural and anthropogenic sources. Natural sources include the following: decomposition of dead organic matter; respiration of bacteria, plants, animals, and fungus; evaporation from oceans; and volcanic out gassing. Anthropogenic sources include the burning of coal, oil, natural gas, and wood.

Methane (CH4) is a flammable greenhouse gas. A natural source of methane is the anaerobic decay of organic matter. Geological deposits, known as natural gas fields, also contain methane, which is extracted for fuel. Other sources are from landfills, fermentation of manure, and ruminants such as cattle.

Nitrous oxide (N2O), also known as laughing gas, is a colorless greenhouse gas. Nitrous oxide is produced by microbial processes in soil and water, including those reactions that occur in fertilizer containing nitrogen. In addition to agricultural sources, some industrial processes (fossil fuel-fired power plants, nylon production, nitric acid production, and vehicle emissions) also contribute to its atmospheric load.

Water vapor is the most abundant, and variable greenhouse gas. It is not considered a pollutant; in the atmosphere, it maintains a climate necessary for life.

Ozone (O3) is known as a photochemical pollutant and is a greenhouse gas; however, unlike other greenhouse gases, ozone in the troposphere is relatively short-lived and, therefore, is not global in nature. O3 is not emitted directly into the atmosphere but is formed by a complex series of chemical reactions between volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and sunlight.

Aerosols are suspensions of particulate matter in a gas emitted into the air through burning biomass (plant material) and fossil fuels. Aerosols can warm the atmosphere by absorbing and emitting heat and can cool the atmosphere by reflecting light.

Aerosols are suspensionsof particulate matter in a gas emitted into the air through burning biomass (plant material) and fossil fuels. Aerosolscan warm the atmosphere by absorbing and emitting heat and can cool the atmosphere by reflecting light.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)are nontoxic, nonflammable, insoluble, and chemically unreactive in the troposphere (the level of air at the earth’s surface). CFCs were first synthesized in 1928 for use as refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and cleaning solvents. CFCs destroy stratospheric ozone; therefore, their production was stopped as required by the Montreal Protocol in 1987. \MMNprovosfondpritchard.com 4—23

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are synthetic chemicals that are used as a substitute for CFCs. Of all the greenhouse gases, HFCs are one of three groups (the other two are perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride) with the highest global warming potential. HFCs are human-made for applications such as air conditioners and refrigerants.

Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) have stable molecular structures and do not break down through the chemical processes in the lower atmosphere; therefore, PFCs have long atmospheric lifetimes, between 10,000 and 50,000 years. The two main sources of PFCs are primary aluminum production and semiconductor manufacture.

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is an inorganic, odorless, colorless, nontoxic, nonflammable gas. It has the highest global warming potential of any gas evaluated. Sulfur hexafluoride is used for insulation in electric power transmission and distribution equipment, in the magnesium industry, in semiconductor manufacturing, and as a tracer gas for leak detection.

There are uncertainties as to exactly what the climate changes will be in various local areas of the earth, and what the effects of clouds will be in determining the rate at which the mean temperature will increase.

There are also uncertainties associated with the magnitude and timing of other consequences of a warmer planet: sea level rise, spread of certain diseases out of their usual geographic range, the effect on agricultural production, water supply, sustainability of ecosystems, increased strength and frequency of storms, extreme heat events, air pollution episodes, and the consequence of these effects on the economy.

Emissions of GHGs contributing to global climate change are largely attributable to human activities associated with the industrial/manufacturing, utility, transportation, residential, and agricultural sectors.

About three-quarters of human emissions of CO2 to the global atmosphere during the past 20 years are due to fossil fuel burning. Atmospheric concentrations of CO2, CH4, and N2O have increased by at least 40 percent, 150 percent, and 20 percent respectively since the year 1750. GHG emissions are typically expressed in carbon dioxide-equivalents (CO2e), based on the GHG’s Global Warming Potential (GWP). The GWP is dependent on the lifetime, or persistence, of the gas molecule in the atmosphere. For example, one ton of CH4 has the same contribution to the greenhouse effect as approximately 25 tons of CO2.

Therefore, CH4 is a much more potent GHG than CO2. In accordance with SJVAPCD’s CEQA Greenhouse Gas Guidance for Valley Land-use Agencies in Addressing GHG Emission Impacts for New Projects17 , proposed
projects complying with Best Performance Standards (BPS) would be determined to have a less-thansignificant impact. Projects not complying with BPS would be considered less than significant if operational GHG emissions would be reduced or mitigated by a minimum of 29 percent, in comparison to business-asusual (year 2004) conditions. In addition, project-generated emissions complying with an approved plan or mitigation program would also be determined to have a less-than-significant impact.

4.8.2 IMPACT ANALYSIS
Project Related Emissions
Short-term construction emissions associated with the Project were calculated using CalEEMod, Version 2022.1.1.44. The emissions modeling includes emissions generated by off-road equipment, haul trucks, and worker commute trips. Emissions were quantified based on an anticipated construction schedule of approximately 12 months. Remaining assumptions were based on the default parameters contained in the model. Modeling assumptions and output files are included in Appendix A. Estimated constructiongenerated and operational related emissions are summarized in Table 4-14, and Table 4-15. GHGs impact the environment over time as they increase and contribute to climate change. 17 (San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, 2009) City of Mendota June 2026 Cantu Apartments Project

regulated hazardous waste facilities in California, including underground storage tank (UST) cases and nonUST cleanup programs, including Spills-Leaks-Investigations-Cleanups sites, Department of Defense sites, and Land Disposal program. A search of the DTSC EnviroStor database preformed on May 11, 2026, determined that there are two active hazardous waste site located within 0.5 mile of the Project site including “Washington Elementary School” and “Mendota Site.” Washington Elementary School (6000720) is a 6.5-acre school site affected by petroleum and volatile organic compounds. A 2008 Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) and Air Sparging plan was delayed, and in 2011, a revised plan involving ozone injection was approved.

Initial ozone testing in 2012 showed limited contaminant reduction, leading to a 30-day pilot test with some improvement. Air sampling showed low cancer risk and no major non-cancer hazards. A 2013 Remedial Action Plan (RAP) proposed further SVE, ozone injection, and groundwater monitoring. When the school district decided to relocate students during cleanup, the RAP was revised to reduce monitoring and suspend indoor air testing. The site was referred to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) as of August 18, 2023. Potential contaminants associated with the Mendota Site (10490061) include household wastes.

The site was referred to the RWQCB as of May 17, 1988. A search of the SWRCB GeoTracker performed on May 11, 2026, determined that there are no known active hazardous waste generators or hazardous material spill sites within the Project site or immediate surrounding vicinity.18 19

4.9.1.2 AIRPORTS
The Project is not located within the boundaries of an adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. The nearest operational airport, the Firebaugh Airport, is located approximately 8.2 miles northwest of the Project site.

4.9.1.3 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
The County of Fresno has a Hazard Mitigation Plan that was adopted in 2024. The purpose of the plan is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards.

4.9.1.4 SENSITIVE RECEPTORS
Sensitive Receptors are groups that would be more affected by air, noise, and light pollution, pesticides, and other toxic chemicals than others. This includes infants, children under 16, elderly over 65, athletes, and people with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. High concentrations of these groups would include daycares, residential areas, hospitals, elder care facilities, schools and parks. There are several sensitive receptors surrounding the Project site including the residences located to the north, east, and south.

4.9.2 IMPACT ANALYSIS
a) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
a) & b) Less than Significant Impact. The Project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the route transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. The Project would result in the construction of a 16-unit apartment complex. During construction, equipment would be used that could result in the spill of hazardous materials, such as diesel fuel, lubricants, and solvents.

No Impact. The Project would not be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. As discussed above, a search of the EnviroStor and GeoTracker databases was conducted, and the Project site has not been identified to contain a known hazardous material spill. According to the DTSC EnviroStor, there are two known active hazardous waste site located within a 0.5 of the Project area, however, the construction of the Project would not be affected by these two sites, nor would the Project have the potential to worsen the existing conditions on both sites. Therefore, there would be no impact. e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact. The Project would not be located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or airport land use plan, or within two miles of a public or private airport where such a plan has not been adopted. The Project is located approximately 8.2 miles northwest of the nearest operational airport, the Firebaugh Airport, and is not located within an adopted airport land use compatibility plan. Therefore, there would be no impact.
f) Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Less than Significant Impact. The County of Fresno has a Hazard Mitigation Plan that was adopted in 2024.

The Project would not impair or physically interfere with the adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan. During construction, there may be a temporary increase in deliveries on the roadways adjacent to the Project site; however, no detours or road closures are anticipated. If any work within the roadways is required, it would need to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. If approved, the Project would abandon a portion of Tule Street. The Project proponent would be required to acquire all portions of the abandoned right of way and may be required to provide access easements to affected properties. The acquisition of the abandoned right of way by the Project proponent and potential granting of access easements, if necessary after acquisition of such property, would ensure that access is not impaired to properties included in and fronting the Project site. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

a) Would the project physically divide an established community? Less than Significant Impact. The Project would not physically divide an existing community. Currently APN 013-241-19 is designated as Medium High Density Residential and is zoned R-1. The Project proposes to amend the City of Mendota General Plan land use designation for APN 013-241-19 to High Density Residential and rezone the Project site to R-3. Along with the development of the apartment complex, the Project proposes the addition of a parking lot on the southeastern corner of the Project site. The parking lot would be developed on the existing portion of Tule Street which has been proposed for abandonment between 6th Street and SR 33. If approved, the abandoned right of way would be designated with a General Plan land use designation of High Density Residential and would be zoned R3, consistent with the rest of the Project site. While the Project proposes to abandon Tule Street, the Project would not impact access in the area that would physically divide the community. Once abandoned, the Project properonent would be required to acquire all portions of the abandoned right of way and may be required to grant access easements to those properties currently utilizing Tule Street for access. No barriers would be constructed that would divide the community. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
b) Would the project cause a significant environmental conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Less than Significant Impact. As mentioned above in response a) the Project proposes to amend the City of Mendota General Plan from Medium High Density Residential to High Density Residential and rezone the Project site from R-1 to R-3. The Project would be developed to meet the density requirements of this new land use designation and zoning district. The Project would be required to meet all applicable City of Mendota land use policies and regulations. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

4.13.1 BASELINE CONDITIONS
According to the City’s General Plan, the City requires that maximum daytime noise levels be limited to

70. 28 The site is located adjacent SR 33 and is surrounded by single-family houses and commercial uses, representing typical urban neighborhood noise levels.

4.13.2 APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
City of Mendota Noise Ordinance: In addition to General Plan requirements, the City has established a Noise Ordinance in its municipal code. Noise ordinances establish noise limits for which penalties may be imposed or enforcement action may be taken. Therefore, while General Plan limits are to be taken into consideration during the development of a project and may or may not be strictly applied depending on the particular circumstances of the project, a noise ordinance generally must not be exceeded. In preparing a noise element, a city or county must identify local noise sources and analyze and quantify, to the extent practicable, current and projected noise levels for various sources, including highways and freeways; passenger and freight railroad operations; ground rapid transit systems; commercial, general, and military aviation and airport operations; and other ground stationary noise sources.

The Project is subject to the City of Mendota Noise Control Ordinance, which is covered in Title 9, Chapter

9.05 of the Municipal Code. It prohibits continued loud noise or noise which disturbs others by placing time constraints on noise producing activities and volume limits on noise amplification devices.

Construction is specifically addressed in Title 9, Chapter 9.05, Section 9.05.070(A):

4.13.3 IMPACTANALYSIS
a) Would the project result in generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Less than Significant Impact. The Project would result in the construction of a 16-unit apartment complex. After completion of the Project expected noise levels would be similar to that of the adjacent neighborhoods. Any potential increase in noise level would not be significant or obtrusive. Temporary noise would occur during construction and ceaseupon completion of the Project. Noise level generated by the equipment would range from 76 to 88 dBA(decibel) at a distance of 50 feet from the noise source; at 100 feet, the noise levels would range from 70 to 82 dBA.29The City of Mendota does have a Noise Control Ordinance as mentioned above. The City’s ordinance states that construction and deliveries are exempt from the basicnoise regulation during the times and on the dayswhen construction activities are allowed pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Mendota Municipal Code.30Due to the nature of construction noise and the proximity of the site to existing residential areas, hours of construction shall be limited to 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. b) Would the project result in generation of excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels?
Less than Significant Impact. Construction equipment generates vibrations that spread through the ground and diminish in amplitude with distance from the source. Construction activities can result in varying degrees of ground vibration, depending on the equipment and methods used, distance to the 29(United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, 2017) 30(City of Mendota, 2024)

affected structures, and soil type. The generation of vibration can range from no perceptible effects at the lowest vibration levels, to low rumbling sounds and perceptible vibrations at moderate levels, to slight damage at the highest levels. Given the type of construction, it is not anticipated that the Project would generate excessive ground-borne vibration or ground-borne noise levels. In addition, vibration levels subside with increased distance from the source, diminishing the effect the Project would have. Impacts would be less than significant.
c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? No Impact. The Project would not be located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or airport land use plan, or within two miles of a public or private airport where such a plan has not been adopted. The Project is located approximately 8.2 miles northwest of the nearest operational airport, the Firebaugh Airport, and is not located within an adopted airport land use compatibility plan. Therefore, there would be no impact.

Less than Significant Impact. The Project would not create a substantial increase in population in the area either directly or indirectly. The Project includes the development of a 16-unit apartment complex.

The Project is intended to support housing needs within the City and would not induce substantial unplanned growth. The Project proposes to amend the City of Mendota General Plan land use designation for the Project site from Medium High Density Residential to High Density Residential.

Additionally, the Project site would be rezoned from R-1 to R-3 as a part of the Project, consistent with the proposed High Density Residential land use designation. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
b) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
Less than Significant Impact. The Projectwould result in the construction of a 16-unit apartment complex.

the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services:
i. Fire Protection:
ii. Police Protection:

Less than Significant Impact. As stated above, the City of Mendota is served by the FCFPD and the Mendota Police Department. Construction of the Project would not substantially increase the service for the fire department or police department, nor would it require the hiring of additional personnel. The Project would be required to comply with the requirements of the FCFPD regarding access, water mains, fire flow, hydrants, and review of engineering plans. Increased demands for fire service are funded almost entirely through property taxes. The Project would be subject to the development impacts fee for construction and acquisition costs for improvements to police protection services and facilities.

Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
iii. Schools:

Less than Significant Impact. The Project would involve the construction of a 16-unit apartment complex.

Payment of fees to a school district is considered full 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 students, reducing impacts to a less than significant level. Senate Bill 50 deems payment of the fees “to provide full and complete school facilities mitigation.” As payment of these fees is required prior to issuance of building permits, impacts would be less than significant.
iv. Parks:

Less than Significant Impact. The Project would involve the construction of a 16-unit apartment complex.

The Project includes approximately 1,802 square feet of open space, including a playground area for residents. Due to the relatively small scale of the Project, the additional population generated by the Project is not expected to have substantial impacts on the City’s resident to parkland ratio. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
v. Other public facilities:

Less than Significant Impact. The Project would also result in the generation of solid waste during construction and operational activities. During construction, waste produced would be the responsibility of the contractor to dispose of. Subsequent to the construction of apartment complex, operations would result in the generation of solid waste, recyclables, and organics. The City contracts with Mid Valley Disposal for trash collection services. Refuse collected from the site would be disposed of at the American Avenue Landfill, approximately 15.4 miles southeast of the site. According to CalRecycle, the American Avenue Landfill is projected to have capacity through the year 203132 . Therefore, impacts would be less
than significant.

The Project includes approximately 1,802square feet of open space, including a playground area for residents. Due to the relatively small scale of the Project, the additional population generated by the Project is not expected to have substantial impacts on the City’s resident to parkland ratio. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
v. Other public facilities:

Less than Significant Impact. The Project would also result in the generation of solid waste during construction and operational activities. During construction, waste produced would be the responsibility of the contractor to disposeof. Subsequentto the construction of apartment complex, operations would result in the generation of solid waste, recyclables, and organics. The City contracts with Mid Valley Disposalfor trash collection services.Refusecollected from the site would be disposedof at the American Avenue Landfill, approximately 15.4 miles southeast of the site. According to CaIRecycle,the American Avenue Landfill is projected to have capacity through the year 203132.Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

4.17.1 BASELINE CONDITIONS
Major transportation routes within the City include SR 33 and SR 180. The Project site is abutted by SR 33 to the west and 6th Street to the southeast. Currently Tule Street runs through the Project area.

In December 2018, modifications to the CEQA Guidelines were adopted by the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation which requires all lead agencies to adopt vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as a replacement for automobile delay-based level of service as the new measure for identifying transportation impacts for land use projects. This statewide mandate, enacted by the State Legislature through SB 743, took effect July 1, 2020. This analysis relies on the Fresno County SB 743 Implementation Regional Guidelines, prepared in January 2021. If the guidelines do not apply, the analysis will rely on information prepared by the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation as part of their December 2018 publication entitled Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (Technical Advisory), which provides guidance for evaluating transportation impacts based on VMT.33

The Project would not substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature or incompatible uses. The Project would result in the construction of a 16-unit apartment complex. The Project does not propose the construction of a hazardous geometric design feature, nor does it propose an incompatible use for the site. Therefore, there would be no impact. d) Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? Less Than Significant Impact. The Project would not result in inadequate emergency access. While the Project proposes to abandon Tule Street between SR 33 and 6th Street, full access to the area in and around the Project site would be maintained during and following construction. Additionally, the Project would be required to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer to ensure access would be maintained before implementation of the Project.

b) Would the project have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? Less than Significant Impact. According to the City’s General Plan, the City currently has three primary water wells as well as two emergency backup wells. Additionally, two well sites have been identified in the area and have been determined to be adequate for future development. The Project would not result in the demand for water supplies in excess of what is currently available in the City’s existing water supply Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
c) Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments?
Less than Significant Impact. The City owns and operates the existing water and wastewater treatment plant. The Project would be required to connect to these existing facilities, which currently has enough capacity to serve the Project. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. d) Would the project generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? Less than Significant Impact. The Project would result in the generation of solid waste during construction and operational activities. During construction, the contractor would be responsible for any solid waste produced. Subsequent to the construction of the 16-unit apartment complex, operations would result in the generation of solid waste, recyclables, and organics. The City contracts with Mid Valley Disposal for trash collection services. Refuse collected from the site would be disposed of at the nearest landfill, American Avenue Landfill, approximately 15.4 miles to the southeast of the site. According to CalRecycle, the American Avenue Landfill is projected to have capacity through the year 2031.35 Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
e) Would the project comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
No Impact. The Project would be required to comply with all applicable federal, State, and local management and reduction statues and regulations related to solid waste. Therefore, there would be no impact.

c) Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments?
Less than Significant Impact.The City owns and operates the existing water and wastewater treatment plant. The Project would be required to connect to these existing facilities, which currently has enough capacity to serve the Project. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. d) Would the project generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? Lessthan Significant Impact.TheProject would result in the generation of solid waste during construction and operational activities. During construction, the contractor would be responsible for any solid waste produced. Subsequentto the construction of the 16—unit apartment complex, operations would result in the generation of solid waste, recyclables, and organics. The City contracts with Mid Valley Disposalfor trash collection services. Refuse collected from the site would be disposed of at the nearest landfill, American Avenue Landfill, approximately 15.4 miles to the southeast of the site. According to CalRecycle, the American Avenue Landfill is projected to have capacity through the year 2031.35Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
e) Would the project comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
No Impact. The Project would be required to comply with all applicable federal, State, and local management and reduction statues and regulations related to solid waste. Therefore, there would be no impact.

4.20.1 BASELINE CONDITIONS
The Project is located in the City of Mendota and receives fire protection from FCFPD. There is a total of one fire station in the City, which is located at Fresno County Fire District, 101 McCabe Ave, Mendota, CA 93640. The fire station is about 0.5 miles away from the Project site.

According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the Project site is not located within a SRA, meaning CAL FIRE does not assume responsibility for wildfire prevention and protection, but rather, the site is managed at the local level.36 The nearest SRA is located approximately 16 miles southwest of the Project Site. Furthermore, according to CAL FIRE, the Project site is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). The nearest VHFHSZ is located approximately 25 miles southwest of the Project Site.37
