The existing murals are located on the Reedley Parkway close to Dinuba A venue on the back side of Reedley Lock and Leave Storage. A project was scheduled by Reedley High School for the spring of 2020 but due to Covid the project was canceled. Staff reached out to Reedley High School this past fall but at that time there was no interest in revisiting the project. The City partnered with Sierra Kings Health Care District for Mental Awareness Month in May. One of the programs for Mental Health Awareness month was a citywide call for artists to submit a conceptual design for a mural to go on the Reedley Parkway. The Community Services Department received three applications. The applications were reviewed by members of the Reedley Parkway Committee who recommended two out of the three designs to move forward for consideration.

SUPPORTING THE MEASURE C RENEW AL EXPENDITURE PLAN PARKWAY City Manager, Nicole Zieba explained that Measure C is a sales tax first approved by voters in 1986 and renewed by voter in 2006 and it funds transportation related matters in Fresno County. Each city within Fresno County and the County itself, benefit from the Measure. Measure C provides approximately $800,000 each year to the City of 2 REEDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING - July 26, 2022
Reedley. The new Renewal Expenditure plan is expected to provide three to four time that amount to the City each year, due to its new focus on neighborhood streets and roads rather than highways. On July 7, 2022 the Fresno Council of Governments Policy Board approved by a split vote the Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan. The plan approved by Council of Governments included a number of changes proposed by the City of Fresno. Due to the last-minute nature of the proposed changes, there was little time for each city's representative to review the changes proposed by Fresno and adopted by Council of Governments. On July 20, 2022 the Fresno County Transportation Authority Board considered and adopted the approved plan. The Fresno County Transportation Authority and the Council of Governments staff believe it is prudent to present the plan as approved and adopted by the two boards to each of the 15 cities in Fresno County.

RECOMMENDATION
Director ffe
Staff recommends that the City Council of the City of Reedley approve and authorize the City Manager to sign an Outside City Water Service Agreement with the owners of real property located at 9551 South Zumwalt Avenue.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 8, 2022, the City of Reedley ("City") received a written request to connect a residence on real property located at 9551 Zumwalt Avenue (APN 370-060-03) to an existing ten inch (1 O") City water main on Zumwalt Avenue. The property is currently outside of City limits. However, the City would agree to allow the residence to be connected to the City's water main if the property owners agree to and comply with the conditions set forth in the attached Outside City Water Service Agreement. The property owners, Lee and Rosalia Martin, have signed the agreement.
BACKGROUND
Public improvements constructed to serve Silas Bartsch School at the southwest corner of East North Avenue and South Zumwalt Avenue included the completion of a "looped" water system that was installed
in East North Avenue, Zumwalt Avenue, Evening Glow Avenue, and the future Tobu Avenue alignment.
Due to the location of Silas Bartsch School, portions of the water system are located outside of City Limits.
On June 8, 2022, the City of Reedley received a written request from the property owners of 9551 South Zumwalt Avenue, a property just outside of City Limits in the County of Fresno, to connect to an available City water line in front of their residence. In their written request, the property owners stated that they face the prospects of their domestic well failing and are requesting access to the City water line along Zumwalt Avenue for domestic use only. The property owners of 9551 South Zumwalt Avenue previously granted easements to the City on the subject property to accommodate the "looped" water system and other public improvements for Silas Bartsch School, however the closest water line to the residence would be considered to be in the roadway abutting the parcel, which is South Zumwalt Avenue.
Attachment 2 shows the location of the subject property in relation to nearby City water lines. The property is currently outside of the City of Reedley City Limits, however it is in the City of Reedley's Sphere of Influence and is close to City Limits. The frontage of the property along South Zumwalt Avenue is approximately 175 feet north of the current City Limit boundary and the southernmost property line is abutting the current City Limit boundary.
As stated in the Outside City Water Service Agreement (Attachment 1 ), "City is willing to provide water service to Property provided Owners, at their sole cost and expense, hire a licensed professional to install all connectors needed to transport City water to property through the City's existing ten-inch (1 O") water main, located on Zumwalt Avenue, pay all required City connection and service fees, and comply with the provisions of this Agreement".
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will pay the attorney's fees to prepare the agreement with the intent to use the agreement as a template for future outside City service connections as needed. The property owners of 9551 S Zumwalt Avenue are responsible for paying the costs and expenses to comply with the provisions of the Outside City Water Service Agreement.

OUTSIDE CITY WATER SERVICE AGREEMENT
This Outside City Water Service Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into effective on August 10, 2022, by and between the City of Reedley, a California municipal corporation ("City"), and Lee Martin and Rosalia Martin ("Owners"), with respect to the following recitals, which are a substantive part of this Agreement:
RECITALS
A. City owns and operates a municipal water system and provides domestic water to City residents.
B. Owners owns real property located at the 9551 Zumwalt Avenue, Reedley, CA 93654-9316, Fresno County, California, comprising approximately thirteen and ninety-five hundredth (13.95) acres (APN: 370-060-03), as more particularly described and depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto ("Property"). Owners desire to obtain necessary approvals on Owners' Property. Owners' Property is within the City's sphere of influence, and is approximately 175 feet north of the current City limit boundary.
C. Owners requested City water service to Property to provide the necessary water supply sufficient to satisfy all anticipated Fresno County conditions of approval. City is willing to provide water service to Property provided Owners, at their sole cost and expense, hire a licensed professional to install all connectors needed to transport City water to Property through the City's existing ten-inch (1 0") water main, located on Zumwalt Avenue, pay all required City connection and service fees, and comply with the provisions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for the consideration set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Connection to City's Municipal Water System. Subject to the Owners' full and complete performance of all of Owners' obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement, City agrees to provide Property with water from the City's municipal water system through City's existing ten-inch (1 0") water main, located on Zumwalt A venue. City's obligation is conditioned upon City and Owners obtaining the consent of all applicable governmental agencies including, without limitation, approval of an Extended or Outside Service Application by Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission ("Fresno LAFCO") and obtaining all consents from Fresno County.
Owners shall, at their sole cost and expense, pay for all labor, materials, equipment, tools, and incidentals and related fixtures necessary to transport water from the City's municipal water system to Property. Connections to the water system shall be performed in accordance with City's Water Standard Plan Drawing and Specifications. Owners shall, at their sole cost and expense, hire a licensed plumber to install:
• One (1) one-inch (l ") water service.
• One (1) one-inch (l ") water meter and box, to be purchased from the City. • One air-gap between Property's existing well system and City's provided water system, unless Owners choose to abandon the existing well(s) in accordance with Fresno County Department of Health Standards; or connections to the City water system, if Owners choose to abandon the existing well(s) in accordance with Fresno County Department of Health Standards.
2. Permits and Fees: Owners shall acquire an encroachment and plumbing permit from the County of Fresno, and a copy of the permit shall be delivered to the City Engineering Department.
Owners shall also acquire an encroachment permit from the City. Permit fees will be four and one-half percent ( 4.5%) of the first ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) spent on the cost of improvements installed within City's right-of-way. For any dollar amount spent over ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), three percent (3%) of the additional dollar amount will be added to the permit fees, with a minimum of fifty-two dollars ($52.00).
Owners shall also acquire a building permit from the City. Permit fees will be based on the valuation of the work completed on Property and a Water Facilities Development Impact Fee ("DIF") of one thousand nine hundred eighty-four dollars ($1 ,984.00) will be added to the building permit fees. If a building permit is issued after August 27, 2022, the Water Facilities DIF will be two thousand five hundred and eight dollars and twenty-three cents ($2,508.23) and a water main rebate reimbursement charge of two thousand six hundred thirty-one dollars and twenty-four cents ($2,631.24) will be added to the building permit fees.
3. Water Use. Owners hereto covenant and agree that City water service is intended to serve water purposes for domestic and landscape irrigation adjacent to the home. Owners acknowledge and understand that City water services may not be used for agricultural irrigation.
In the event that City, at its sole discretion, determines that City water is being used for any other purposes than those set forth herein, City may, at any time, discontinue the water service to Owners without liability to City. For this purpose, Owners grant City the right of entry to inspect the use of the water on Property. Owners shall not use City water, and shall not allow another to use City water, for any purpose other than uses of domestic and landscape irrigation adjacent to the home.
If, at any time, City Council determines that there is insufficient water to meet the needs of both City residents and out-of-City water users, City may unilaterally terminate water service to 2 Owners. City may also allocate, among all out-of-City water users, including Owners, any surplus water over and above the needs of City residents, as City Council deems fit. City may also reduce water allocation to Owners in connection with conservation efforts at City's sole discretion.
4. Water Rates. Water rates are subject to changes. Effective July 1, 2022, metered monthly water rates are as follows:
Service (meter) charge for $ 34.28

5. No Representations by City. The City does not make any representation, warranty or guarantee of any kind or nature and hereby specifically disclaims any kind of representation, warranty or guarantee that City's municipal water system and the water supplied thereby will yield any specific volume of water or provide any specific water pressure to Owners' Property under static or demand scenarios or for any use by Owner and its tenants, lessees, purchasers, successors or assigns. Owners assumes full responsibility for the adequacy of the volume of water and water pressure provided by City's municipal water system for any and all purposes and uses related to Owners' Property including, without limitation, sufficient volume of water and water pressure to satisfy County requirements.
6. Continuing Obligations and Responsibilities of Owner. Owners shall comply with all City ordinances and policies governing use of City's water, including Title 8, Chapter 1 of Reedley Municipal Code, which includes, but is not limited to, water conservation restrictions.
Owners agrees to and shall pay City all applicable fees for water and water service supplied by City to Owners' Property. Owners acknowledges and agrees that the water service fees paid by Owners may be higher than paid by other developments and users located within the City.
Owners agrees that the water service fees charged Owners are reasonable and Owners do not object to paying higher water service fees than paid by other developments or users located within City. Owners shall maintain their water service account with City in good standing and current status. If Owners water service account becomes delinquent, City may discontinue water service in accordance with City ordinances and policies.
7. Interruption of Service. Owners acknowledge, agree, and consent to any disruption of water service caused by action of the City. Owners understand that City has no obligation to supply water to Property, either by law or otherwise, except by the express terms of this Agreement.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the City of Reedley partnership with Fresno Street Eats to provide a food truck event on August 19th in Pioneer Park.
BACKGROUND
City staff met with Fresno Street Eats to discuss the opportunity for a partnership to offer a food truck event on Friday, August 19, 2022, in Pioneer Park. Staff would like to pilot this type of event to gauge the response and interest the public may have for an event like this. Fresno Street Eats has started hosting these types of events in communities similar to Reedley and are having great success with bringing people out to a public space.
If the event is successful, staff would like to continue a partnership with Fresno Street Eats to offer these type of events monthly. The event can include more than just food truck vendors but merchant vendors and entertainment, as well. Due to the lack of staff time to organize and coordinate an event like this, the City of Reedley would sponsor the event but Fresno Street Eats will be responsible for all event details which includes; coordinating the food trucks and entertainment, promotion of the event, cleanup of the park and disposal needs.
Staff will utilize the City of Reedley special event process which will allow all departments the ability to review event details and provide comments for the event holder prior to the event. Fresno Street Eats will be subject to a City of Reedley business license and must provide all insurance documentation.
FISCAL IMPACT
As a City of Reedley sponsored event, all City of Reedley fees will be waived.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-071, approving and accepting the revised City Quality Assurance Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
All local agencies that receive federal assistance related to transportation projects are required to have an adopted Quality Assurance Program (QAP). A QAP is a sampling and testing program that will provide assurance that the materials and workmanship incorporated in all construction projects are in conformance with the contract specifications. Failure by a local agency to administer construction contracts involving federal funds without a QAP may result in the loss of or reimbursement of federal funds.
The Local Assistant Procedure Manual (LAPM) suggests that a QAP be updated every five (5) years in order to be current with recommended testing frequency and methods. The City Council of Reedley previously approved a QAP in 2017.
Staff is requesting that the City Council approve and accept this revised QAP. This update brings the City current with new or revised recommended state testing frequency or methods and allows the City to remain eligible to receive federal funds
BACKGROUND
A QAP is required for all federally funded local agency transportation projects. The QAP is a sampling and testing program incorporated into all projects to ensure that materials and workmanship incorporated into all projects are in conformance with the contract specifications and standards. Testing frequency and methods are used to determine the degree of compliance with contract documents.
Failure to have and adhere to a QAP can result in the loss of federal funds. Due to changing industry standards, acceptable materials, and testing methods the LAPM suggests the QAP be updated every five (5) years or more frequently should the recommended testing frequency or methods change. The current QAP was approved in January 2017. An update to this OAP was necessary due to new or revised recommended state testing frequency or methods.
The significant difference between the 2017 OAP and the 2022 OAP is the decreased number of required tests and samples recommended by the LAPM for projects not on the national highway system. Approval of this new QAP supersedes the City's previously approved QAP (dated January 2017).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to update the OAP for the City.

Quality Assurance Program
I. Introduction
The City of Reedley (hereinafter called the "City") has prepared this Quality Assurance Program to provide assurance that the materials incorporated into each construction project conform to the contract specifications. This Program shall be updated every five (5) years or more frequently should testing frequency or methods change. The following terms and definitions are used in this Program:
• Acceptance Testing (AT) - Sampling and testing, or inspection, of project materials to determine compliance with contract specification criteria. • Certificate of Compliance - A signed document from the materials manufacturer committing that the delivered goods meet the contract specifications. • Independent Assurance Program (IAP) - A program that verifies that AT is being performed correctly by certified testers using qualified laboratories and calibrated equipment.
• Quality Assurance Program (OAP) - A sampling, testing and inspection program to provide assurance that the materials and workmanship incorporated into the construction project conform to the contract specifications. The main elements of a OAP are the Material Acceptance Program and IAP.
• Source inspection - AT of manufactured or prefabricated materials at locations other than the job site, generally at the manufactured location.
II. Laboratory Qualification
The City will use a private consultant materials testing laboratories to perform AT on Federal-aid and other designated projects. The materials laboratory shall be under the responsible management of a California registered Engineer with experience in sampling , inspection, and testing of construction materials. Said Engineer shall certify the results of all tests performed by laboratory personnel under the engineer's supervision. The materials laboratory shall contain certified test equipment capable of performing the tests conforming to this OAP. Laboratories shall comply with Section VI I, Independent Assurance Program, of this document.

When sampling products such as Portland Cement Concrete (PCC), cement-treated base (CTB), hot mix asphalt (HMA), and other such materials, the time of such sampling shall be varied with respect to the time of day the sample is taken, insofar as possible, in order to avoid a predictable sampling routine.
Reporting Acceptance Test Results
The laboratory shall report test results to the Resident Engineer as soon as possible by FAX, telephone, or email. Copies of complete material test result reports, including data and calculation sheets, shall be provided to the Resident Engineer with the following requirements:
• When the aggregate is sampled at materials plants, test results for Sieve Analysis, Sand Equivalent, and Cleanness Value should be submitted to the Resident Engineer within 24 hours after sampling.
• When materials are sampled at the job site, test results for compaction and maximum density should be submitted to the Resident Engineer within 24 hours after sampling.
• When soils and aggregates are sampled at the job site:
1. Test results for Sieve Analysis, Sand Equivalent, and Cleanness Value should be submitted to the Resident Engineer within 72 hours after sampling.
2. Test results for "R" Value and asphalt concrete extractions should be submitted to the Resident Engineer within 96 hours after sampling. 3 CITY OF REEDLEY OAP JULY 2022
V. Testing of Manufactured Materials
Source Inspection and Testing
Some manufactured or pre-fabricated structural materials will be inspected or tested prior to arrival at the jobsite, generally at the manufacturer's location (a.k.a. source inspected.)
Structural items categorized as "catastrophic consequences of failure" or "significant safety concern" may be source inspected. Materials that might be source inspected include: structural steel, precast pre-stressed concrete girders and pilings; RCP greater than 60", joint seals, bearing pads, lighting and signal poles, sign structures, electrical items.
The Resident Engineer may reject source inspected material at the job site if deemed not acceptable, including:
• Material damage in shipment or installation
• Defective material (source inspection is usually a random sampling and may not have checked 100% of the material.)
Manufacturer's Certificates of Compliance
The Engineer may permit the use of certain materials before sampling or testing if accompanied by a certificate from the manufacturer. Said Certificate of Compliance shall be submitted by the Contractor before the material is incorporated into the work and shall include the following information:
• Name of Company
• The project name and/or contract number
• Identify the lot ( or heat) number for each lot delivered • State that the material complies with the contract specs. (w/ spec. number) • Signature of responsible officer of the company
• Test data and other documents when required in contract specification No Certificates of Compliance will be accepted unless given to the Resident Engineer at the time of delivery of the material. Any material that is delivered to the job site and no Certificates of Compliance is submitted to the Resident Engineer at the time of delivery may be subject to rejection at the discretion of the Resident Engineer. The Resident Engineer may perform sampling and testing on such materials at any time. All Certificates of Compliances shall conform to the requirements of the contract specifications.
4 CITY OF REEDLEY OAP JULY 2022
List of Materials Accepted by Certificate of Compliance This agency uses one of the 2010 Caltrans Standard Specifications. A list of manufactured materials that can be accepted on the basis of Certificate of Compliance during construction is found in Appendix B, Exhibit 16-T1: Materials Requiring a Certificate of Compliance per Ca/trans Standard Specifications. This list may be supplemented or amended by the contract Special Provisions or Technical Provisions.
VI. Visual Inspection (For Minor Quantities)
Relatively minor quantities of constriction materials may be accepted without testing unless otherwise specified in the contract or by the City of Reedley. The following 3 conditions must be met:
1. Visual examination of the material is performed.
2. The manufacturer or supplier has recently furnished similar materials found to be satisfactory using normal sampling and testing requirements.
3. The manufacturer (or supplier in the case of HMA or concrete) provides certification that the material furnished complies with the contract specifications.
The following list suggests approximate maximum quantities of materials that may be accepted under the conditions indicated above:
• Aggregates other than for use in Portland Cement Concrete, not to exceed 100 tons per day, nor 500 tons per project
• Bituminous mixtures not to exceed 50 tons per day. If the project total is less than 500 tons, sample at Engineer's discretion
• Bituminous material not to exceed 100 gallons per project VII. Independent Assurance Program (IAP)
The IAP shall be provided by the City's certified materials laboratory or consultant's certified materials laboratory. The purpose of the IAP is to verify that sampling and testing procedures are being performed in accordance with the appropriate standards and that all testing equipment is in good working condition and properly calibrated .
IAP personnel shall be certified in all required testing procedures, as part of the IAP, and shall not be involved in any aspect of the AT.
IAP shall be performed on every type of materials test required for the project.
Proficiency tests shall be performed on Sieve Analysis, Sand Equivalent, and Cleanness Value tests. All other types of Independent Assurance tests shall be witness tests.
5 CITY OF REEDLEY OAP JULY 2022
Poor correlation between acceptance tester's results and other test results may indicate probable deficiencies with the acceptance sampling and testing procedures. When unresolved discrepancies exist, a complete review of the AT shall be performed by the IAP personnel, or by an independent materials laboratory chosen by the City. IAP samples and tests are not to be utilized for determining compliance with contract requirements. Compliance with contract requirements is determined solely by the AT.
VIII. Project Certification
Upon completion of a Federal-aid project, a "Materials Certificate" (Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) Exhibit 17-G) shall be completed and signed by the Resident Engineer and included in the City's construction records. All materials incorporated into the work which did not conform to specifications must be explained and justified on the "Materials Certificate", including changes by virtue of contract change orders.
The City shall include a "Materials Certificate" in the Report of Expenditures submitted to Caltrans District Director, Attention: District Local Assistance Engineer (DLAE).
IX. Records
All material records of samples and tests, material releases and certificates of compliance for the construction project shall be incorporated into the Resident Engineer's project file. If the project is a Federal-aid project the following requirements shall apply:
• The files shall be organized and indexed per the City's Project File Template and shall include the following :
1. Copy of Quality Assurance Plan

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-073 authorizing the addition of one (1) full time Staff Assistant position to support the additional purchasing responsibilities within the Expanded Learning Opportunities Programs (ELOP).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Reedley has provided services for the Expanded Learning Programs (ELP) at TL Reed and Washington School sites since 2006. Over the years, staff have seen the programs evolve and grow to meet the needs of Kings Canyon Unified School District (KCUSD) and funding priorities has changed . New this year is additional State of California funding designated for ELP. KCUSD is receiving an additional $12 million provided to eliminate waitlists, provide transportation home from ELPs, expand services to include transitional kindergarten (TK) students, and enhance already existing programs with experience and opportunities that previously available funding could not support. From this additional funding the City of Reedley is receiving $300,000 per site which is an increase from $20,000 per site.
This increase will have an impact on the workload for staff within the Community Service Department to get all the paperwork and requirements complete related to purchasing. The impact will also be felt within the Administrative Services Department Accounts Payable division to process the payments. Staff within these two departments are already stretched thin to complete tasks and this becomes an even bigger challenge if anyone is out. Because of this stress on the City of Reedley departments, KCUSD has approved the hiring on one (1) FT Staff Assistant to relieve some of the workload of both departments. This will be the first time an 1 employee is trained to work within both departments assisting with the accounts payable process. This employee will split time between both departments and receiving training by both departments. The Community Services Department still has a need for office coverage, so a portion of this employees salary will be covered by the General Fund.
ELP is supported through different funding sources. The program at TL Reed receives funding from Proposition 49 After School Education and Safety and KCUSD. The Washington school program receives funding from Proposition 49 After School Education and Safety, KCUSD, and Save the Children. Staff is currently working through the Request for Proposal process required from Fresno County Superintendent of Schools for the Proposition 49 ASES funding contracts.
This will come before the City Council in a future meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
Because the City of Reedley and KCUSD are still working through the details for an amendment to the original agreement, a budget amendment will come before the City Council at a later date along with an amendment to the original agreement. The Community Services Department has budgeted in the 2022-23 City of Reedley Adopted Budget $26,520 for a part time Office Assistant. This action will have no negative impact on the General Fund. KCUSD has agreed to cover the difference to make this position full time, roughly $50,000.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
On May 24,2022, the City Council approved Memorandum of Understanding with KCUSD for services at the school sites of T L Reed and Washington for the 2022-23 school year.

WHEREAS, this position is dependent on the State of California ELOP funding, and would be eliminated if the funding was to be reduced or no longer available for this purpose.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Reedley authorizes the addition of one (1) full time Staff Assistant position to the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget for the purpose of overseeing the purchasing aspect of the City Expanded Learning Programs.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
A) Adopt Resolution 2022-075, A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Reedley Adopting Environmental Assessment No. 2020-15, A Mitigated Negative Declaration, Dated June 2, 2022, And Approving Annexation Application No. 2020- 01, Pre-Zone Application No. 2020-01 , Conditional Use Permit Application No. 2022-05, And Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6408 B) Introduce Ordinance No. 2022-004, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Reedley Approving Pre-Zone Application No. 2020-01 and Authorizing the Amendment of the Official Zoning Map of the City of Reedley C) Adopt Resolution 2022-076, a Resolution of Application by the City of Reedley Requesting the Local Agency Formation Commission to take proceedings for the Manning Avenue Reorganization
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Annexation Application No. 2020-01, Pre-Zone Application No. 2020-01 , Conditional Use Permit Application No. 2022-05, Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6408 (previously referred to as Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2021-02), and Environmental Assessment No. 2020-15 pertain to the annexation of approximately 58 gross acres into the City of Reedley. This annexation also proposes to detach the subject territory from the Fresno County Fire Protection District, the Kings River Conservation District, and Consolidated Irrigation District.
The proposed annexation site is bordered by the Manning Avenue/I Street Intersection on the north, the Kings River on the west, residential homes on the south, and agricultural fields/commercial properties on the east (APNs: 368-350-17, 368-350-31 , 368-350-32, 368-350-33, 365-072-30T, and 365-072-31 ). See Attachment 1 a. Conditional Use Permit Application No. 2022-05 pertains to the development of approximately 13 of the 58 acres proposed to be annexed for commercial use as part of a master plan for the project site.
The Reedley General Plan Update 2030 designates the subject territory with a Community Commercial, Open Space, and Low Density Residential Planned Land Use Designation, and the subject territory is within the City's current Sphere of Influence. The proposed entitlement applications are consistent with the Reedley General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, the Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code Section 66400 et. seq.) findings can be made to approve Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6408. Annexation Application No. 2020-01 is consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding between the County of Fresno and the City of Reedley. Staff has determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate for the project, through Environmental Assessment 2020-15. In accordance with State CEQA Guidelines, the appropriate posting, filing and noticing of such has taken place.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site entails six parcels totaling approximately 58 acres. The parcels are Fresno County Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APNs): 368-350-17, 368-350-31 , 368-350-32, 368-350-33, 365-072-30T, and 365-072-31 . Two of the parcels (APNs 365-072-30T and 365-072-31) contain a portion of Kings River. The project site is located within the City of Reedley's Sphere of Influence (SOI) and is currently within the jurisdiction of the County of Fresno. Adjacent to the north, east and south is the City of Reedley. The site is bordered by the Manning Avenue/I Street Intersection on the north , the Kings River on the west, residential homes on the south , and agricultural fields/commercial properties on the east. See Attachment 1 a.
The proposed project would consist of four components and are described in more detail below:
• Annex six parcels into the City of Reedley (Annexation Application No. 2020-01) • Pre-zone approximately 58 acres into the City (Pre-Zone Application No. 2020-01) • Develop approximately 13 acres for commercial use as part of a master plan for the project site (Conditional Use Permit Application No. 2022-05)
• Subdivide approximately 13 acres into 10 parcels for commercial use and open space/recreational use (Tentative Subdivision Map Application No. 2021-2)
Annexation Application No. 2020-01: The project would annex six parcels (APNs 368-350-17, 368-350- 31 , 368-350-32, 368-350-33, 365-072-30T, and 365-072-31) totaling approximately 58 acres from the County of Fresno into the City of Reedley. Two of the parcels (APNs 365-072-30T and 365-072-31) contain a portion of Kings River. The proposed annexation area is adjacent to the existing City of Reedley City Limits on the north, south and east sides, and is within the City of Reedley's adopted SOI. The subject property has Community Commercial, Low Density Residential, and Open Space land use designations pursuant to the City of Reedley 2030 General Plan.
Pre-Zone Application No. 2020-01: As part of the process to annex the property into the City, the project would pre-zone the site consistent with the City of Reedley's 2030 General Plan as part of the annexation process. Approximately 32 of the 58 acres would be pre-zoned into a Central and Community Commercial (CC) zone district, approximately 11 acres would be pre-zoned to the One Family Residential (R-1-6) zone district, and approximately 15 acres, which includes a portion of the Kings River, would be pre-zoned to the Resource Conservation and Open Space (RCO) zone district (Attachment 1 band 2a).
Conditional Use Permit Application No. 2022-05: The project includes development of the subdivided parcels (APNs 368-350-17, 368-350-31 , 368-350-32, and 368-350-33) as part of a master plan located on the South Side of East Manning Avenue closer to the frontage of East Manning Avenue. This master plan includes the proposed development of 10 commercial buildings totaling approximately 56,773 square feet (SF) with a total of 542 parking spaces and 41 bicycle parking spaces. See Attachment 1 c, Exhibit A. The 13-acre master plan development would consist of:
• One drive-thru carwash and 28 self-service vacuum stations (Pad #01 : 5,381 SF) • One coffee drive-thru (Pad #02: 950 SF)
• Up to four drive-thru restaurants (Pad #03: 6,484 SF, Pad #04: 6,764 SF, Pad #05: 3,114 SF, Pad #06: 2,000 SF)
• One canopied gas station with eight dual fuel pumps and convenience store (Pad #07: 5,000 SF) • One four-story hotel with 96 rooms (Pad #08: 55,000 SF) • Two retail shops (Pad #09: 13,440 SF and Pad #10: 13,440 SF) • One temporary ponding basin
The gas station would have a maximum of eight multi-product pumps (16 positions) with an estimated fuel throughput of 2.5 to 3 million gallons per year. The fuel would be stored in underground storage tanks west of the fuel island. The proposed ingress/egress to the site would be available off of Manning Avenue and off of the proposed southern extension of Manning Avenue which would be accessed at the Manning Avenue/I Street intersection. Project landscaping would include areas for tree wells, planters, and associated landscaping within the parking areas. A total of seven trash enclosures are proposed along the main interior road . The proposed master site plan would meet the 25 percent imminent development requirement as part of the annexation process and appl ication . It should be noted that the portion of the Kings River proposed to be annexed to create a logical jurisdictional boundary is not included in this calculation.
The project would also dedicate land directly east of the Kings River that is currently designated as Open Space by the City of Reedley 2030 General Plan for the future development of the Reedley Parkway.
The project would allow for future access to the Kings River as part of a parkway extension, which would
enhance the public's access to views of the Kings River. The 2030 General Plan EIR includes the following policy:
COSP 4.14.3 An open space buffer of approximately 200 feet shall be maintained between urban development and the Kings River corridor. The Planning Commission may approve exceptions to the open space buffer subject to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) if the finding can be made that the river and riparian areas will not be negatively impacted by the exception.
The proposed project would preserve and allow access to the existing open space adjacent to the Kings River as part of a future parkway extension, however, the applicant is requesting an exception to the 200- foot buffer. The proposed project would allow for a 66-foot access easemenUcommunity buffer west of the project's proposed car wash development that includes a 20-foot buffer for a future parkway extension.
The exception is requested because the applicant's representatives have expressed that visibility along Manning Avenue is very important to future commercial tenants. The proposed master plan has been designed to avoid development in the riparian corridor and Kings River. Furthermore, compliance with Environmental Assessment No. 2020-15 would ensure impacts related to the river and riparian areas would be less than significant.
Tentative Subdivision Map Application No. 2021-2: The project would subdivide four of the six parcels (APNs 368-350-17, 368-350-31, 368-350-32, and 368-350-33) totaling approximately 13 acres into 15 parcels. Nine parcels for commercial use as identified in the site plan for the project, one parcel partially for open space/recreational use, and five remaining parcels for future development included in the annexation to the City. The commercial parcels would range in size from 0.62 acres up to 2.52 acres. See Attachment 1 c, Exhibits B, C, & D.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The project site is located in County of Fresno jurisdiction; however, the project is within the City of Reedley's SOI. The City of Reedley General Plan Land Use Map designates the project site as Community Commercial, Open Space and Low Density Residential. The existing County General Plan designation is Agriculture. The proposed project would be consistent with the following 2030 General Plan Goals and Land Use Element Policies:
LU 2. 7G Ensure adequate commercial shopping opportunities and office space to meet LU 2.7H
LU 2.7K
LU 2.7L
LU 2.7M
anticipated need for economic development.
Provide for the timely development of planned commercial areas as determined by community needs and the availability of urban services.
Designate sufficient commercial land to accommodate growth for the entire planning horizon.
Provide for the compatibility of commercial land uses with surrounding land uses.
Encourage "big box" retail to locate in the community commercial planned land use designation.
LU 2. 7.40 Community Commercial designations shall be located primarily at the following locations:
(b) Manning Avenue west of Reed Avenue
LU 2.7.41 Community Commercial areas should be concentrated into unified retail centers of five to forty acres in size and shall be comprehensively planned . Visual compatibility with surrounding residential neighborhoods shall be required.
LU 2.7.42 Community Commercial designations shall be primarily at arterial/arterial or arterial/collector intersections to ensure adequate surface transportation accessibility.
ZONING ORDINANCE CONSISTENCY
The project site parcels within the County of Fresno's jurisdiction are currently zoned by the County as Limited Agricultural (AL20) and Resource Conservation (RC40) and Open Conservation (0). The proposed project includes pre-zoning approximately 32 of the 58 acres into a Central and Community Commercial (CC) zone district, approximately 11 acres to the One Family Residential (R-1-6) zone district, and approximately 15 acres, which includes a portion of the Kings River, to the Resource Conservation and Open Space (RCO) zone district. The proposed pre~zoning is consistent with the GPU Planned Land Use and Zoning District Consistency Matrix (GPU , Table 2-4, Page 30). The lots proposed to be subdivided through Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6408 meet the designation , lot and area requirements for the proposed zone district designations they are in, which confirms consistency with the Reedley Municipal Code.
If Conditional Use Permit Application No. 2022-05 is approved and is developed in substantial conformance with the site plan provided , then no further entitlement applications would be required to be submitted. The remaining area to be annexed that is not included in the master plan shall be developed in accordance with the future project area's General Plan Designation and Zoning Designation. Any future project that is allowed by-right pursuant to the Reedley Municipal Code would not require the noticing of surrounding property owners prior to approval.
STANDARDS FOR ANNEXATION
In order for territory to be annexed into the City, the Planning Commission and the City Council would have to authorize an application to be submitted to the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo).
LAFCo regulates, through approval or denial, the boundary changes proposed by other public agencies or individuals. If the Planning Commission and the City Council of the City of Reedley authorize the submittal of an annexation/reorganization application to LAFCo , the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission would take action on the annexation request and record the boundary change if the Commission's action is to approve. The annexation/reorganization application has to be consistent with a variety of documents
and laws, including: the City's General Plan, ordinances, and policies; the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act; and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the County of Fresno and the City of Reedley. As mentioned in the above section, the City of Reedley has determined that the application is consistent with the City's General Plan, ordinances, and policies.
The three main purposes of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act are to discourage urban sprawl, encourage orderly governmental boundaries, and preserve open-space and prime agricultural lands. The City of Reedley has historically taken a conservative approach to expansion of the Reedley City Limits, thus avoiding premature conversion of farmland. The City continues to take this approach. For example, one of the City of Reedley's General Plan 2030 Land Use Policies is to not consider annexation of new territory for residential development until at least eighty percent (80%) of the existing residentially designated land inside the city limits is developed. More than 80% of the existing residentially designated land is developed. The proposed annexation application is adjacent to the existing Reedley City Limits on its northern, eastern, and southern borders, and is adjacent to urban development on these same borders. This demonstrates orderly governmental boundaries and efforts to avoid urban sprawl.
Annexation Application No. 2020-01 identifies imminent development within the subject property, with more than 25% of the area proposed for annexation a part of the proposed development through a conditional use permit, which complies with the standards of annexation (See Attachment 4: Standards of Annexation).
Therefore, this annexation application is consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding between the County of Fresno and the City of Reedley.
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FINDINGS (VESTING TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP NO. 6408)
The subdivision map for this project was originally assigned the entitlement number of Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2021-02 by City staff, however since then the applicant requested a Vesting Tentative Map and the County Assessors Office assigned the map the number 6408. Staff will refer to the map as Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6408 (VTSM No. 6408), but to clarify, the same map is what is being referred to whether identified as Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6408 or Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2021-02. Pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act and Reedley Municipal Code Section 11-2-7-A-5, a tentative map shall be approved if the following findings can be made:
1. That the proposed tentative map is consistent with the general plan or any applicable specific plan as specified in Government Code section 65451 .
As noted in the General Plan Consistency discussion above, the proposed subdivision map is consistent with the 2030 General Plan. Further, pursuant to Title 11 (Subdivision Ordinance) of the RMC, the subdivision design meets the zoning ordinance criteria for development in the existing zone district classifications.
2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the general plan or any applicable specific plan.
The proposed subdivision map, with its design and improvements, is consistent with the Reedley General Plan Update 2030 because its design helps achieve many of the General Plan's adopted goals and policies, including ensuring adequate commercial shopping opportunities to meet anticipated need for economic development. The proposed subdivision map improvements are also consistent with the General Plan in terms of circulation and the future buildout of streets.
3. That the site of the proposed subdivision is physically suitable for the type of development.
This site is physically suitable for the proposed type and density of development, because the conditions of approval prepared would ensure adequate access and drainage on and off the site; and , that development shall occur in accordance with adopted standards, goals, objectives, and policies for development in the City of Reedley.
4. That the site of the proposed subdivision is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because the project distributes 10 commercial buildings over 13 acres and includes adequate parking for the proposed commercial uses.
5. That the design of the proposed subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause significant and unavoidable impacts to fish , wildlife or their habitat.
The subject property has been previously identified for urban conversion, and has been actively utilized in agricultural production , which limited the area's overall ability to sustain and attract wildlife or provide a suitable habitat to species. Implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1 through BIO7 in Environmental Assessment No. 2020-15 would reduce potential impacts to biological resources to a less than significant level.
6. That the design of the proposed subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems.
The proposed subdivision design and improvements are not likely to cause serious public health and safety problems because the conditions of approval have shown and would ensure that the subdivision conforms to City health and safety standards, specifications, and policies.
7. That the design of the proposed subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
The proposed subdivision design would not conflict with public easements within or through the site, because the project design and conditions of approval would assure noninterference with any existing or proposed easements on the subject property.
8. That the tentative map meets or performs any of the requirements or conditions imposed by the subdivision map act or this title.
The tentative map is subject to conditions of approval imposed by the subdivision map and the Reedley Municipal Code, therefore the development of the tentative map is required to comply with all conditions, standards, and policies.
9. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473 .1, the design of a subdivision for which a tentative map is required pursuant to Section 66426 shall provide, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision .
The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision. Furthermore, the appropriate use and placement of landscaping plant materials would enhance shading and natural cooling opportunities because of the orientation of the proposed lots, which will permit alignment of structures in an east-west or north-south direction for southern exposure, and the design of the subdivision would provide for future passive and natural cooling opportunities.
The subdivision map, subject to the recommended conditions of approval , complies with the design and property development standards of the Zoning Ordinance and local Subdivision Ordinance. Based upon the plans and information submitted by the applicant and the recommended conditions of project approval , staff has determined that these findings can be made. Therefore, the appropriateness of the proposed project has been examined with respect to its consistency with guiding land use principles, goals and policies of the Reedley General Plan Update 2030 and regulatory standards set forth in the Reedley Municipal Code and its compatibility with surrounding existing or proposed uses. These factors have been evaluated as described above. Upon consideration of this evaluation , it can be concluded that Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6408 is appropriate for the subject property.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City of Reedley has conducted an environmental analysis for the above-described project
(Environmental Assessment No. 2020-15). The project has been determined to be a subsequent project that is not fully within the scope of the certified Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2010031106) prepared for the Reedley General Plan 2030 Update (GPU). Therefore, the City of Reedley, as the lead agency, proposes to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (attached as Exhibit A) for this project.
The completed environmental impact checklist, the associated narrative, and any proposed mitigation measure(s) reflect applicable comments of responsible and trustee agencies, as well as research and analysis conducted to examine the interrelationship between the proposed project and the physical environment. The information contained in the project application and its related environmental assessment application, responses to requests for comment, checklist and initial study narrative combine to form the record indicating that an initial study has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and the CEQA Guidelines.
All new development activity and many non-physical projects contribute directly or indirectly toward cumulative impacts on the physical environment. It has been determined that the incremental effect contributed by this project toward cumulative impacts is not considered substantial or significant in itself, and/or that cumulative impacts accruing from this project may be mitigated to less than significant with application of feasible mitigation measures.
For some categories of potential impacts, the checklist may indicate that a specific adverse environmental effect has been identified which is of sufficient magnitude to potentially be of concern without mitigation to reduce the level of significance. Such an effect may be inherent in nature and magnitude of the project.
The completed environmental checklist form indicated whether an impact would be less than significant, or less than significant with mitigation. Effects so rated are not sufficient in themselves to require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report, and have been mitigated to the extent reasonably feasible as required by CEQA. The City has proposed to self-regulate urban growth, which has a direct impact on premature and an unnecessary conversion of agricultural lands, by committing to annexing a maximum of five hundred (500) acres from within the existing SOI (See Policy LY 2.5.18) before implementing the Farmland Preservation Program .
The project is not located on a site which is included on any of the lists enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code including , but not limited to, lists of hazardous waste facilities , land designated as hazardous waste property, hazardous waste disposal sites and others, and the information in the Hazardous Waste and Substance Statement required under subdivision (f) of that Section.
The initial study has concluded that the proposed project would not result in any adverse effects which fall within the "Mandatory Findings of Significance" contained in Section 15065 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
With the project specific mitigation imposed, there is no substantial evidence in the record that this project may have additional significant direct, indirect or cumulative effects on the environment that are significant and that were not identified and analyzed in the certified Program Environmental Impact Report prepared for the Reedley General Plan Update 2030. After conducting a review of the adequacy of the Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2010031106) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3, as the lead agency, finds that no substantial changes have occurred with respect to circumstances under which the Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2010031106) was certified, and that no new information which was not known and could not have been know at the time that the Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2010031106) was certified , has become available .
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and CEQA Guidelines, a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was filed with the County of Fresno and with the California Office of Planning and Research (QPR), on June 2, 2022. The comment period expired on July 5, 2022 at 5:00 p.m.
During the comment period , staff received a comment letter from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD). SJVAPCD's comments were already included in their previous comment letter dated July 16, 2020, which is attached to the project's Conditions of Approval. Analysis of future projects in the annexation area is addressed in the project's Conditions of Approval. The City conducted an Air Quality Study (May 2022) to provide information for the completion of the Initial Study and to address compliance with air quality standards. This study determined that neither project construction nor operation would exceed the SJVAPCD threshold for criteria pollutants and would not 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. The Initial Study concluded air quality impacts were less than significant in regards to these and staff has determined that no further study or mitigation is needed. Based on CARB's land-use handbook and the type of development, there should not be more than 100 trucks per day or 30 hours of TRU usage per day onsite and therefore the potential for health risk to residents is minimal. Both comment letters from the SJVAPCD were provided to the applicant.
COMMITTEE/COMMISSION REVIEW/ACTIONS
On July 21 , 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on these applications. The Commission received a written staff report and presentation, and invited the public to comment. The Planning Commission asked additional questions of staff and the applicant who was present. No comments from the public were made during the public hearing. After closing the public hearing, the City of Reedley Planning Commission , using their independent judgment, recommended to the City Council adoption of Environmental Assessment 2020-15; approvals of Annexation Application No. 2020-01 , Ordinance 2022- 004 (Pre-Zone Application No. 2020-01), and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6408, and authorization of the submittal of a City Annexation application to the Fresno Local Area Formation Commission .
PUBLIC NOTICING
Pursuant to the Government Code Section 65091 (Planning and Zoning Law) and Reedley Municipal Code, § 10-22, it is required that a notice be published in a newspaper and be sent to surrounding property owners. The public hearing notice was published in the Mid-Valley Times on July 28, 2022 and was mailed to surrounding property owners on July 28, 2022. See Attachment 5 for the Proof of Publication and Public Noticing Map.
FISCAL IMPACT
The project applicant is responsible for all entitlement application fees prior to public hearings associated with approval of this project. The Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission annexation application and processing fees will also be paid by the applicant.

Members of the City Council:
The Council on November 8, 2005 finalized the formation of the City of Reedley Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 . This Special Tax is for the sole purpose of funding increasing demands on essential and timely Police, Fire and Park Maintenance services as a direct result of new development within the City. Because of this special tax, Reedley continues to be one of the safest communities in Fresno County. Without this funding source, which is based on direct causes and effects of new development, the level of public safety services will be impacted, response times to emergency situations will be affected and the public 's general health will be affected by lack of park maintenance.
The levy of said proposed special tax shall be subject to approval of the qualified electors of the District at a special election. In no event shall the special taxes be levied on any parcel within the District in excess of the maximum tax specified in the Rate and Method of Apportionment.
The undersigned is the duly owner or authorized representative of the owner of all the territory of real property initiating the commencement of proceedings regarding certain properties, as described on attached Exhibit A and shown by the map in Exhibit B-1 (the "Territory"). The owner, or authorized representative, hereby petitions and requests that you commence proceedings pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Chapter 2.5, commencing with Section 53311 , of Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the California Government Code) (the "Act") to annex and add all the territory in the Parcel to the real property included within the boundaries of the City's Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Public Facilities) ("CFD No. 2005-1 ).
The owner or authorized representative further petitions and requests that the Council proceed as quickly as possible with all proceedings necessary to accomplish such annexation and levy. In that -1-
regard, to the greatest extent allowed by law, the owner hereby expressly waives all notices, procedures and requirements otherwise required under the Act, including without limitation (i) the time limit specified by Section 53326 of the Act, including but not limited to the requirement that the special election be held at least 90 but not more than 180 days following the adoption of the resolution calling the election and any other requirement pertaining to the conduct of the election; (ii) the requirement contained in Section 53327 of the Act for preparation and delivery to voters of an impartial analysis, arguments and rebuttals relating to the proposition submitted at the election; and (iii) any notice requirements relating to the special election, whether contained in the California Government Code, the California Elections Code, the California Streets & Highways Code or elsewhere, and expressly consents to the commencement of proceedings without completion of or compliance with such notices, procedures or requirements. The owner or authorized representative further agrees that the election may be conducted by mailed or personally-delivered ballot, to be returned as promptly as practicable to the office of the City Clerk of the City of Reedley, and that the results of the elections be canvassed and reported to you as promptly as practicable thereafter.
In consideration for the Council conducting the annexation and levy proceedings requested herein, the owner will immediately execute and deliver to the City any documents the City deems necessary to accomplish the annexation and levy proceedings and to further evidence the consent and waivers in this Petition, including but not limited to ballots and receipts for notice.
Also in consideration for the Council conducting such annexation and levy proceedings, the owner will remain the sole owner of all real property in the Parcel and will not transfer title to any such real property to any other person or entity until completion of the proceedings by the City.

Dear Ms. Moore :
This letter is in response to your request for comment on the above-referenced applications, the approval of which would result in the annexation of approximately 58 acres to the City of Reedley, as well as the pre-zoning of land, as follows: Approximately 32 acres would be pre-zoned for community commercial use, 11 acres would be pre-zoned for residential use under the R-1-6 zone district and 15 acres would be pre-zoned for open space use under the RCO zone district. Site Plan Review No. 2020-0 I would master plan the proposed 32-acre community commercial area.
The I I-acre area proposed for R-1-6 zoned residential use would likely be developed at about 5 units per acre, which would yield approximately 55 single family residences. New residential development would generate students that will need to be housed in District schools. Based on the District's current student generation rates, it is estimated that the residential development within the annexation area could generate the following number of students: 22 in grades K-5; 13 in grades 6-8 and 16 in grades 9-12.
The potential community commercial development on a 32-acre portion of the proposed annexation area would affect the District by generating employees. The children of employees living in the District will need to be housed in District schools.
The project site is currently within the attendance area of Riverview K-8 School (8862 S. Lac Jae Avenue) and Reedley High School (740 W. North Avenue). Riverview K-8 School has a current enrollment of 487 students and an operational capacity of 430. Reedley High School has a current enrollment of 1,890 and an operational capacity of 1,500.
The District has acquired a site for a new high school and new elementary school in the south Reedley area. The District will potentially construct additional facilities within the next five years, but timing will ultimately be dependent on funding availability.
The District currently levies a school facilities fee of $3.79 per square foot for residential development, and $0.61 per square foot for commercial development. On May 12, 2020, the District Board will be considering an increase in the fees to $4.08 for residential development and $0.66 for commercial/industrial development. If approved, the increased fees will go into effect on July 11 , 2020.
New development on the subject property will be subject to the fee in place at the time school facilities fees are paid.

Dear Ms. Moore:
Subject: Comments regarding concurrent applications: Pre-Zone Application No. 2020-01, Annexation Application No. 2020-01, Site Plan Review Application No. 2020-1, for territory located on the southwest corner of Manning Avenue and I Street.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. From the material provided to this office, my understanding of the project description is as follows:
Annexation Application No. 2020-1, a request to approve annexation of the 58 acres into the City of Reedley for territory generally located at the southwest corner of Manning Avenue and I Street (Reorganization name to be determined}.
Pre-Zone Application No. 2020-01, a request to approve a prezone of approximately 32 acers of land from the County AL-20{Limited Agricultural} Zone District to the Reedley CC ( Central and Commercial}Zone District, 11 acres of land from the County AL-20 (Limited Agricultural} Zone District to the Reedley R-1-6 (One Family Residential} Zone District, and 15 acres of land from the County RC-40{Resource Conservation} and AL-20{Limited Agricultural} Zone District to the Reedley RC (Resource Conservations District} Zone District for territory generally located on the southwest corner of Manning Avenue and I Street .
Site Plan Review Application No. 2020-1, a request to approve a site plan map consisting of 9 commercial buildings for territory located on the southwest corner of Manning Avenue and I Street.
General comments
The Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission {LAFCo} regulates, through approval or denial, the boundary changes proposed by local agencies or individuals. LAFCo's objectives are to:
• Encourage orderly formation and development of agencies; • Encourage consistency with spheres of influence and recommended reorganization of agencies; • Encourage orderly urban development and preservation of open space patterns; • Encourage conservation of prime agricultural lands and open space areas; and • Identify and address disadvantaged unincorporated communities.
LAFCo should be identified in the city's environmental document as a Responsible Agency under CEQA whose role is to consider changes of organizations and spheres of influence. Commission action on the Ellen Moore
annexation request should be noted in the environmental document. As a Responsible Agency, the Commission is required to review and consider the City's environmental documents prior to taking its action. A Responsible Agency complies with CEQA by considering the environmental analysis prepared by the Lead Agency and by reaching its own conclusions on whether and how to approve the project.
The Commission may then make a finding that it independently reviewed and considered the information in the environmental document and that the environmental document is sufficient to support a determination on the proposed reorganization.
Unless a territory is at full build-out, LAFCo law and Commission policy require that territory be prezoned before it may be annexed to a city so that LAFCo may find that the proposed project is consistent with a city's general plan. Given the multiple proposed zone districts, please be sure to identify what land is prezoned to the appropriate zone district in the annexation proposal area.
Be advised that extraneous conditions of prezoning ordinance bills can impair the Commission's ability to approve projects. LAFCo staff is available to review and comment on the city's draft prezoning ordinance to ensure that it meets Commission standards.
It is important to note that LAFCo standards for annexation state a proposal for annexation is acceptable if one of the following can be providing by the City:
• There is existing substantial development provide the City confines its area requested to that area needed to include the substantial development and create logical boundaries. • Development exists that requires urban services which can be provided by the City • If no development exists, at least 50% of the area proposed for annexation has:
a. Approved tentative subdivision map(s)(S.F. residential) b. Approved site plan (for other uses)
Project-specific comments
A checklist for items and requirements necessary for a filed application can be found on the Fresno LAFCo website under the applications and documents tab and should be reviewed prior to submitting a formal application.
A copy of stamped NOD filed with the Fresno County Clerk's Office and a Copy of paid fish and Game fee is and item for a complete application.
If uninhabited and not all landowners have consented to annexation the proposal will be noticed 21 - day prior to public hearing. It is important to note that a complete application is necessary five-days prior to the noticing period.
The affected territory includes a portion of the Kings River (APNs 365-072-30T and 365-072-31). Will Annexation Application No.2020-01 include detachment from the Consolidated Irrigation District for this area?
LAFCo staff request that an application submittal meeting be scheduled prior to submitting a formal application.
Ellen Moore
As we have discussed, staff and the Commission will evaluate this project in light of the Commission's adopted policies and procedures, which include minimizing "creation of peninsulas and corridors, or other distortion of boundaries." It is therefore important that Reedley application provides sufficient context as to how this proposal contributes to "planned, well ordered, efficient development patterns and service areas, and does not encourage urban sprawl."

Dear Ms. Moore:
PROJECT NUMBER: ANX 2020-01, Prezone 2020-01, SPR 2020-01 LU0020617
2600
Annexation Application No. 2020-01 pertains to the annexation of approximately 58 acres into the City of Reedley and detachment from the Fresno County Fire Protection District and the Kings River Conservation District. The annexation area consists of four parcels (APNs 368-350-17, 368-350-31, 368-350-32, and 368-350-33) and a portion of the Kings River (APNs 365-072-30T and 365-072-31 ).
The annexation area is generally located east of the centerline of the Kings River, south of Manning Avenue, west of the commercial corridor located on the southeast corner of Manning Avenue and I Street, and north of the existing Riverglen single family residential subdivision. The proposed annexation is adjacent to the existing City of Reedley City Limits on three sides, and along the western boundary of the annexation area there is an approximate 1,000-foot opening located in the SWC of the subject territory that serves as the connection point to the County of Fresno. The proposed annexation is within the City of Reedley's adopted Sphere of Influence, and the subject property has a Community Commercial, Low Density Residential, and Open Space Planned Land Use Designation pursuant to the City of Reedley 2030 General Plan. The proposed annexation would remove an area that is substantially surrounded by the existing City of Reedley City Limits, development is imminent, and it does not conflict with the goals and policies of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act to promote the planned, orderly, efficient development of an area.
Pre-Zone Application No. 2020-01 pertains to the pre-zoning of approximately 58 acres in preparation for annexation consistent with the Reedley 2030 General Plan. Approximately 32 acres is proposed to be pre-zoned to the CC (Central and Community Commercial) zone district, approximately 11 acres is proposed to be pre-zoned to the R-1-6 (One Family Residential) zone district, and approximately 15 acres, which includes a portion of the Kings River, is proposed to be pre-zoned to the RCO (Resource Conservation and Open Space) zone district.
Site Plan Review Application No. 2020-01 pertains to the master planning of approximately 11 acres of commercially designated land (APNs 368-350-17, 368-350-31 , 368-350-32, and 368-350-33), consisting of 9 commercial buildings totaling 178,500 square feet with shared access to 487 parking spaces to serve those buildings. Proposed uses identified in the site plan include retail stores, drivethrough restaurants, dine-in restaurants, a gas station and a hotel. Proposed ingress/egress to the site would be available off of Manning Avenue and off of the proposed southern extension of Manning Avenue which would be accessed at the Manning Avenue/I Street intersection. Also proposed is the dedication of land directly east of the Kings River that is currently designated as Open Space in the 2030 General Plan for the future development of the Reedley Parkway. The proposed master site plan meets the 25% imminent development requirement for annexation.

INFORMATIONAL SUMMARY
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION MITIGATION FEE
Background: Measure "C" Extension, passed by the voters of Fresno County in November 2006, included a provision for the establishment of a Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee (RTMF). The purpose of the fee is to create a mechanism for new development to pay its fair share of the cost of road improvements based on the expected traffic impacts generated by the development.
Date of Effectiveness: The RTMF is effective for all developments approved on or after January · 1, 2010, unless the development is exempt for of one of the reasons described below.
Developments Subiect to the Fee: Generally, all new developments occurring in Fresno County are required to pay the RTMF, with amounts varying based on the expected traffic impact of the development, less the development falls into one or more of the following exempt categories:
a) The development is to be used for public or non-profit education b) The development is for use by a government agency for a governmental function (government-owned commercial developments are not exempt) c) The development is the subject of an unexpired tentative map, vested ter:,tative map, or subdivision map approved prior to January 1, 2010. d) Renovations or improvements to existing residential buildings are exempt if the number of dwelling units is not increased. Renovations or improvements to existing non-residential buildings are exempt if the floor space is not increased.
Payment of the Fee: The RTMF must be paid to the RTMF Joint Powers Agency, located at 2035 Tulare Street, Suite 201, Fresno, CA. Please call ahead to (559) 233- 4148, extension 200, to ensure that staff will be on hand to process your payment. The amount to be paid is based on the number and type of dwelling unit(s) if any, and the square footage of floorspace and type of non-residential building(s) if any. The rate to be paid is the rate in effect at the time of payment.
Payment may be made at any time prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. A Record of Payment will be issued as proof that the RTMF obligations, if any, have been met. Developments exempt under points A, B, or C above require a Record of Payment , from the RTMF Joint Powers Agency, even though the amount paid will be zero. A service fee may be charged for issuance of a Record of Payment.
I acknowledge that I have read and understand this information, and am aware that the City or County will not issue a certificate of occupancy until I have fulfilled my obligations, if any, regarding the RTMF.

NOTICE OF THE RIGHT TO APPEAL
You have the right to appeal the application of the RTMF to the Board of the RTMF Joint Powers Agency if you feel that the RTMF is being applied incorrectly. The procedure to file an appeal is:
1) The Applicant must first tender any required payment in full or provide satisfactory evidence of arrangements to pay the fee when due or ensure performance of the conditions necessary to meet the requirements of the imposition (Gov. Code§ 66020(a)(1 )). The JPA shall determine if the requirement under Gov. Code§ 66020(a)(1 )) has been satisfied. 2) The applicant then submits a letter to the JPA stating that payment was tendered or shall be tendered under protest along with the reasons they believe that the fee as calculated by JPA staff is not justified, and the amount of fee the applicant believes to be correct. This letter must be accompanied by a copy of the Record of Payment. The appeal must be filed within 90 days after the imposition of the fee (Gov. Code§ 66020 (d)(1 )). Failure to file a timely appeal will preclude a subsequent lawsuit.
3) If the appeal is based on some document other than the Record of Payment, such as a document issued by a local jurisdiction indicating the starting date of vesting rights or a document showing earlier payments for which the applicant wants credit, then copies of this document must be included in the additional documentation mentioned in the previous bullet point. The Applicant has the option to submit additional documentation to support their appeal.
The Applicant must submit at their own expense twenty-two copies of each supporting document they want considered. The copies are for the use of the JPA and will not be returned to the applicant.
4) If the appeal is based on a technical issue related to traffic or trip generation then the Applicant must submit a technical analysis for consideration by the JPA. The Applicant is responsible for the cost of this analysis. 5) The RTMF-JPA will act on appeals during the open portion of a Board meeting within 180 days of receipt of the written appeal. The Applicant will have a chance to speak on behalf of their request and to answer questions. Based on its consideration of the appeal, the Board may choose to set the RTMF for the Applicant's project at the amount stated in the appeal, the amount recommended by Staff based on the RTMF as generally applied, or some other amount deemed appropriate based on the information presented in the Appeal.
If you challenge the applicability or amount of the RTMF in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described above or in written correspondence delivered to the JPA at, or prior to, the public hearing.

District Reference No. 20200343
July 16, 2020
1) Project Related Emissions
The annexation or prezoning will not have an impact on air quality. However, future development will contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to construction activities, increased traffic, and ongoing operational emissions.
The District's initial review of the Project concludes that emissions resulting from construction and/or operation of the Project may exceed the following thresholds of significance: 100 tons per year of carbon monoxide (CO), 10 tons per year of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), 10 tons per year of reactive organic gases (ROG), 27 tons per year of oxides of sulfur (SOx), 15 tons per year of particulate matter of 10 microns or less in size (PM10), or 15 tons per year of particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less in size (PM2.5). The District recommends that a more detailed preliminary review of the Project be conducted for the Project's construction and operational emissions. The additional environmental review of the Project's potential impact on air quality should consider the following items:
1 a) Construction Emissions: Construction emissions are short-term emissions and should be evaluated separately from operational emissions. Equipment exhaust, as well as fugitive dust emissions should be quantified.
For reference, the District's annual criteria thresholds of significance for construction are: 100 tons per year of carbon monoxide (CO), 10 tons per year of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), 10 tons per year of reactive organic gases (ROG), 27 tons per year of oxides of sulfur (SOx), 15 tons per year of particulate matter of 10 microns or less in size (PM10), or 15 tons per year of particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less in size (PM2.5).
The District recommends that the County consider the use of the cleanest reasonably available off-road construction practices (i.e. eliminating unnecessary idling) and fleets, as set forth in §2423 of Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations, and Part 89 of Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations as a mitigation measure to reduce Project related impacts from construction related exhaust emissions.
1 b) Operational Emissions: Emissions from stationary sources and mobile sources should be analyzed separately.
For reference, the annual criteria thresholds of significance for operation of permitted and non-permitted sources each are: 100 tons per year of carbon monoxide (CO), 10 tons per year of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), 10 tons per year of reactive organic gases (ROG), 27 tons per year of oxides of sulfur (SOx), 15 tons San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District
District Reference No. 20200343
July 16, 2020
per year of particulate matter of 10 microns or less in size (PM 10), or 15 tons per year of particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less in size (PM2.5). 1 c) Recommended Model: Project related criteria pollutant emissions from construction and operational sources should be identified and quantified.
Emissions analysis should be performed using CalEEMod (California Emission Estimator Model), which uses the most recent approved version of relevant Air Resources Board (ARB) emissions models and emission factors. CalEEMod is available to the public and can be downloaded from the CalEEMod website at:
www.caleemod.com.
1 d) Project Related Operational Emissions- Cleanest Available The San Joaquin Valley will not be able to attain stringent health-based federal air quality standards without significant reductions in emissions from heavy-heavy duty (HHD) Trucks, the single largest source of NOx emissions in the San Joaquin Valley. The District recently adopted the 2018 PM2.5 Plan which includes significant new reductions from HHD Trucks, including emissions reductions by 2023 through the implementation of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Statewide Truck and Bus Regulation, which requires truck fleets operating in California to meet the 2010 0.2 g/bhp-hr NOx standard by 2023. Additionally, to meet the federal air quality standards by the 2020 to 2024 attainment deadlines, the District's Plan relies on a significant and immediate transition of heavy duty truck fleets to zero or near-zero emissions technologies, including the near-zero truck standard of 0.02 g/bhp-hr NOx established by the California Air Resources Board.
For development projects which typically generate a high volume of heavy duty truck traffic (e.g. "high-cube" warehouse or distribution center), there are heavy duty trucks traveling to-and-from from the project location at longer trip length distances for potential distribution. To reduce impacts from operational mobile source emissions, the District recommends that the following clean air measures be considered for inclusion in the environmental document/assessment. • Advise fleets associa_ted with Project operational activities to utilize the cleanest available HHD truck technologies, including zero and near-zero (0.02 g/bhp-hr NOx) technologies as feasible.
• Advise all on-site service equipment (cargo handling, yard hostlers, forklifts, pallet jacks, etc.) to utilize zero-emissions technologies as feasible.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District
District Reference No. 20200343
July 16, 2020
• Advise fleets associated with future development projects to be subject to the best practices (i.e. eliminating unnecessary idling).
In addition, the District recommends that the City include clean air measures to reduce project related operational impacts through incorporation ·of design elements, for example, increased energy efficiency, reducing vehicle miles traveled, etc. More information on mitigation measures can be found at:
http://www.valleyair.org/transportation/ceqa idx.htm.
1 e) Operational Related Emissions - Under-fired Charbroilers Projects for restaurants with under-fired charbroilers may pose the potential for immediate health risk, particularly when located in densely developed locations near sensitive receptors. Since the cooking of meat can release carcinogenic PM2.5 species like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, controlling emissions from new under-fired charbroilers will have a substantial positive impact on public health. The air quality impacts on neighborhoods near restaurants with underfired charbroilers can be significant on days when meteorological conditions are stable, when dispersion is limited and emissions are trapped near the surface within the surrounding neighborhoods. This potential for neighborhood-level concentration of emissions during evening or multi-day stagnation events raises environmental concerns.
Furthermore, reducing commercial charbroiling em1ss1ons is essential to achieving attainment of multiple federal PM2.5 standards and associated health benefits in the Valley. Therefore, the District recommends that the environmental document include a measure requiring the assessment and potential installation, as technologically feasible , of particulate matter emission control systems for new large restaurants operating under-fired charbroilers. The District is available to assist the City and project proponents with this assessment. Additionally, to ease the financial burden for Valley businesses, the District is currently offering substantial incentive funding that covers the full cost of purchasing , installing, and maintaining the system for up to two years. Please contact the District at (559) 230-5800 or [email protected] for more information. 2) Voluntary Emission Reduction Agreement
If the Project is expected to have a significant impact, the District recommends the environmental document also include a discussion on the feasibility of implementing a Voluntary Emission Reduction Agreement (VERA) for this Project.
