From: Joshua Goggins, Community Development Director
Subject: Public Hearing to Consider the Proposed Annexation of Property within Tract 6431 into Sanger Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2, Area 1, and to Establish a levy of Assessments for the Annexed Territory
Conflict of Interest:

Known none.

Recommendation:

Recommendation: That the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 2026-90, a Resolution Confirming and Ordering Annexation into Sanger Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2, Area 1, and Establishing a Levy of Assessment for the Annexed Territory.

Executive Summary:

This public hearing is for the purpose of annexing property in Tract 6431, Phase 2A and the undivided remainder to be called Phase 2B, to LLMD No. 2 per the Diagram attached to the proposed resolution. On July 16, 2026, the City Council initiated the process for annexation with the adoption of Resolution No. 2026-63 and setting of a public hearing for August 20, 2026. The Item was continued to the September 17, 2026, meeting. The proposed Resolution finds that there is no majority protest by the Applicant, annexes the property into Area 1, of LLMD No. 2, and sets the levy at $116 per lot for the current fiscal year. Going forward, the annexed property will be subject to the annual levy approved by the City Council every year for all property within LLMD No. 2, Area 1. Approval of the proposed Resolution will conclude the process by annexing the lots of a new residential subdivision into LLMD No. 2 being developed by SJV Horizontal, LLC. (“Applicant”) and setting a levy at the same rate as other properties in LLMD No. 2, Area 1.

Background:

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, California Streets and Highways Code Section 22500 et. seq. was designed to allow local governments the ability to collect assessments to defray the cost of maintaining street lighting and landscaped areas within the public right-ofPage 185 of 240 way. These costs were recognized as costs which directly benefit property owners by increasing the value of their property. Adequate street lighting increases safety and decreases crime. Wellkept landscaped areas enhance the quality of life in neighborhoods and directly affect the marketability and value of property.

The City of Sanger has two established Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Districts to maintain City parks, landscaped areas, block walls, and streetlight operation and maintenance.

Sanger Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2 (“LLMD No. 2”) was established in 2004 to cover the cost of maintaining all streetlights, landscaping, and irrigation systems within the LLMD No. 2 City public right-of-way, and to cover the cost of maintaining special amenities located within the LLMD No. 2 City public right-of-way or easements, including, but not limited to, maintaining masonry walls, storm water holding ponds, and roundabouts.

The applicant is currently seeking to develop a 75-lot subdivision on the southeast corner of North Avenue and Bethel Avenue as part of Tract 6431, Tract 6431, Phase 2A and the undivided remainder to be called Phase 2B (“Property”). The Applicant submitted a Final Map for Tract 6431, Phase 2A, for approval by the City Council. A condition of approval for Tract 6431 requires that the lots in Tract 6431 be annexed into LLMD No. 2. Consistent with that requirement, the Applicant has submitted a petition and waiver to the City, requesting annexation into LLMD No. 2 and agreeing to the initial assessment amount of $116.00 per lot for the fiscal year. Thereafter, the property would be subject to the annual levy amounts approved by Council for LLMD No. 2 for each fiscal year.

The Applicant has also (i) waived certain resolutions, report, notices of hearing, and right of majority protest, and consented to a public hearing and adoption of a Resolution by the City Council ordering annexation and levy of the Property; and (ii) expressly waived any requirement to have a ballot and majority protest proceeding per Government Code Section 53753 or as may be permitted by the Act. As a result of this waiver, the annexation process can be expedited as no report by the City Engineer is required to be prepared, nor is a ballot and majority protest required. st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) }
Reason for Recommendation:

The LLMD No. 2 assessment is utilized to offset the costs of streetlight and right of way maintenance and operations within the established LLMD No. 2 area. Street lighting and wellmaintained landscaping increases safety and the quality of life and directly affects the actual property values of homes and businesses located in the City of Sanger. As new development occurs in Sanger, annexation of the property to LLMD No. 2 will help ensure that property is maintained. Annexation is also a necessary component to allow for the development of 75 new single-family residences, and to help assist with the City’s housing stock.

Fiscal Impact:

Each lot annexed into Area 1 of LLMD No. 2 will be subject to the applicable assessment beginning in Fiscal Year 2027/28. The current Fiscal Year 2026/27 assessment rate is approximately $116 per lot, which would equate to approximately $8,700 for all 75 lots; however, the 2026/27 rate will not be collected from the project. Prior to collection in Fiscal Year 2027/28, the City Council will approve the applicable assessment amount for Area 1 of

Page 186 of 240 ends

LLMD No. 2, which may include an adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Accordingly, the actual assessment and corresponding revenue collected from the 75 lots will be based on the approved Fiscal Year 2027/28 rate.

Alternatives:

One alternative would be to deny the application and not annex the property into LLMD No. 2.

In this case, the Council should also provide direction whether or not it intends to relieve the Applicant of condition of approval No. G.8 for Tentative Tract Map No. 6431, which requires the annexation in order to record the Final Map.

Actions Following Approval:

Staff anticipates that the City Clerk will file the diagram and assessment with the Fresno County Auditor-Controller concurrently with the recording of the Final Map.

For the Meeting of: September 17, 2026
Agenda Item No.: H.1.

City of Sanger
Report to the City Council
To: City Council
From: Greg Tarascou, Fire Chief
Subject: Adoption of the California Fire Code
Conflict of Interest:

None known.

Recommendation:

Recommendation: That the City Council reintroduce by title only and waive the first reading of an Ordinance of the City of Sanger, California, adopting the California Fire Code with amendments in Article III of Chapter 30, and updating fire and safety definitions in Section 38-

24.2 of Article I of Chapter 38 of the Sanger Municipal Code.

Executive Summary:

Every three years, the California Building Code (CBC) is reviewed and modified, where applicable, and adopted by the California Building Standards Commission. In January 2026, the 2025 version of the California Fire Code went into effect Statewide and is currently used as the guiding document for all fire prevention activities. Currently, the City of Sanger Municipal Code contains the 2016 standards, which have been adopted and have been modified as necessary to ensure the safety of the community. Staff is re-introducing the attached proposed Ordinance to be considered for adoption to bring the Municipal Code with reasonably necessary modifications current.

This item was originally heard in a regularly scheduled Public Hearing on August 20, 2026.

After review of the proposed Ordinance, Staff identified administrative errors that are being corrected tonight. No substantive changes have been proposed since the August 20, 2026, Public Hearing and this item is being presented back to Council for a matter of transparency and in an effort to allow the public to review the document as it will be placed into the Sanger Municipal Code. To facilitate review, additions are noted in red text.

Background:

The 2025 California Building Code incorporates the 2024 edition of the International Fire Code, as amended with necessary California amendments. The 2025 California Building Code became effective on January 1, 2026, and is mandated by the California Building Standards Commission for statewide adoption and enforcement.

Page 212 of 240 ends

The City of Sanger has the authority to make necessary modifications to the State Code.

Modifications that are administrative in nature do not require expressed findings and a summary of proposed administrative amendments to the 2025 California Fire Code are attached to this staff report. However, non-administrative modifications to the California Fire Code must be based on express findings of necessity relating to local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.

FINDINGS REGARDING LOCAL CLIMATIC, TOPOGRAPHICAL AND

GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
The express findings relating to local climatic, geological and topographical conditions, including an analysis of the modifications, may be found in the proposed Ordinance. The following is a brief summary of the local climatic, topographical and geological conditions which make the local amendments to the California Fire Code reasonably necessary, including extreme temperatures, limited water supply and pressure, poor air quality and sunny days, and lower density development facilitated by local topography.

Climatic Conditions – Extreme Temperatures
During the summer months, the City of Sanger experiences periods of what can only be described as extreme heat. For example, Exhibit 1 to the attached Resolution is a summarized chart setting forth the high temperatures in Sanger, San Francisco and San Diego from CY 2022 to the end of CY 2025 as reported by the National Weather Service.

As an example, during a 31-day period in July 2025, the average high temperature in Sanger was 106 degrees, while the mean high temperature over the four years was reported at 110 degrees.

As a corollary, the average high temperature in San Francisco was 76 degrees and the average high temperature in San Diego was 82. Furthermore, during this 31-day period, Sanger experienced 6 days when the maximum temperature exceeded 100 degrees, while neither San Francisco nor San Diego experienced such temperatures at any time during the 31-day period.

Though Health & Safety Code Section 17958.7 does not require the local conditions to be unique to a particular jurisdiction, the temperature chart demonstrated the temperatures experienced in Sanger are extreme as compared to temperatures experienced in other parts of California.

Due to the extreme heat Sanger experiences during the summer months, Sanger Firefighters responding to fires and other incidents requiring the evacuation of a building are regularly exposed to temperatures in excess of 105 degrees and, when accounting for the protective gear, expose them to the high probability of heat cramps, heat exhaustion and possibly heat stroke.

Geological – Limited Water Supply and Water Pressure
The Sanger area is an arid area which has received in the last three years an average of 11 to 12.5 inches of precipitation annually, occurring primarily in the winter months[1]. Furthermore, the Sanger area relies primarily on groundwater for its municipal water supply.

Due to the hot, dry summers in the Sanger area, domestic water demand substantially reduces the ability of the public water system to dependably meet the larger fire flow demand in many areas

Page 213 of 240 ends

of the City.

Climatic/Topographical – Poor Air Quality Caused by Topography of San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, Large Number of Sunny Days and Inversions That Form During Winter Months
As a result of the San Joaquin Valley’s climate and topography, the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB) is predisposed to poor air quality. High mountain ranges surrounding the Valley frequently create air layer inversions, which prevent mixing of air masses. The large number of sunny days per year and high temperatures in the summer favor the formation of ozone. The area is so sunny that the City of Fresno was ranked as the highest major California city for sunshine, with an estimated 79 percent annual average of possible sunshine for more than a 30-year period.[2] In the winter, inversions form that often trap particulate matter.

The Federal EPA and California Air Resources Board have classified the SJVAB as serious for 8-hour ozone, non-attainment (Federal) and non-attainment (State) for PM2.5[3]. Ozone is formed by a complex series of chemical reactions between reactive organic gases (ROG), oxides of nitrogen and sunlight. PM2.5 is suspended particulate matter that is less than two and one-half microns in width. Given its small size, PM2.5 can remain airborne for long periods and can be inhaled, pass through the respiratory system and lodge in the lungs. In general, non-attainment means the federal standard has been exceeded more than twice per year.

Smoke is composed primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, hydrocarbons, and other organic materials, nitrogen oxides, trace minerals and several thousand other compounds. Particulate matter is the principal pollutant of concern from some for the relatively short-term exposures (hours to weeks) typically experienced by the public.

Particulate matter in wood smoke has a size range near the wavelength of visible light (0.4-0.7 micrometers). Because these particles can be inhaled into the deepest recesses of the lungs, they are thought to represent a greater health concern than larger particles. Another pollutant of concern during some events is carbon monoxide.[4] The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District states “Emissions from burning include fine particulate, hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, carbon monoxide, and toxic air contaminants that contribute to our air quality problems.”
Topographical – Sanger’s Development Pattern
Due to the relatively low-density growth pattern in the Sanger area, the one and only fire station is situated almost centrally in the City of Sanger, with an average of a two-mile travel distance for the fire company. This average two-mile travel distance increases the response time to fires, which results in an increase in the size and intensity of fires.

Findings Regarding the Reasonable Necessity of the Proposed Amendments to the California Fire Code Given Local Climatic, Topographical and Geological Conditions As set forth in detail in the attached proposed Ordinance, each of the amendments requiring express findings of necessity to the California Fire Code are reasonably necessary because of these local climatic, topographical and geological conditions. The amendments may be generally characterized as relating to fire sprinkler systems. The other amendments proposed to the California Fire Code would be considered administrative in nature and therefore do not require

Page 214 of 240 ends

express findings.

Fire Sprinkler Systems
Fire sprinkler systems have proven effective in suppressing and extinguishing structural fires using a small fraction of the water used with traditional fire suppression methods and resulting in smaller fires or shorter duration and thus in the generation of far less smoke that affects the air quality. Furthermore, because the fire sprinklers will limit the size and duration of fires, fewer fire personnel may be used to perform a direct attack on the fire. This reduces the number of fire personnel who would be exposed to the health risk associated with sustained exposure to high temperatures and also addresses extended run time due to a topography-related low density growth pattern in the City of Sanger. The modifications proposed in this category maintain existing amendments approved by Council in 2016, which continues a proactive fire sprinkler installation emphasis on community fire protection that commenced in 1979.

[2] See https://www.worldatlas.com/climate/the-sunniest-cities-in-the-united-states.html [3] See https://www3.epa.gov/airquality/greenbook/kbtc.html [4] See https://www.epa.gov/wildfires/wildfire-smoke-guide-public-health-officials Reason for Recommendation:

Local amendments proposed for adoption are limited to those felt essential to effectively administer Code responsibilities in daily operations and to maintain previous amendments approved by Council relating to fire and life safety. Staff recommend adoption of the standards as proposed.

Fiscal Impact:

No fiscal impact noted.

Alternatives:

Do not adopt Title 24, in which case it may be impossible to carry out mandated enforcement and utilize legal processes. State law mandates that local governments enforce the California Building Standards Code as published by the California Buildings Standards Commission in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. However, there is no mandate that local governments adopt Title 24; just that it be enforced. Title 24 applies where no local adoption ordinance exists. To carry out enforcement activities, it is general practice for a city, county or cities and counties to enact adoption ordinances making Title 24 the applicable code.

Actions Following Approval:

The City Clerk will properly notice and schedule a second Public Hearing.

Agenda Item No.: H.2.

City of Sanger
Report to the City Council
To: City Council
From: Josh Rogers, City Engineer
Subject: Approval of Final Map, Agreements and Covenants - Tract 6431 - Phase 2A
Conflict of Interest:

None known.

Recommendation:

Recommendation: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-91, approving:

1. The Final Map for Tract No. 6431, Phase 2A;

2. The Subdivision Agreement for Final Map of Tract No. 6431, Phase 2A;

3. The Improvement and Credit/Reimbursement Agreement, Tract No. 6431, Phase 2A;

4. Statement of Covenants Affecting Land Development Acknowledging Right to Farm Law for the Final Map of Tract No. 6431, Phase 2A;

5. Covenant Regarding Land Development for the Final Map of Tract No. 6431, Phase 2A “Sanger Landscape and Lighting District No. 2”; and

6. Covenant Regarding Land Development for the Final Map of Tract No. 6431, Phase 2A “Community Facilities District No. 2005-01”.

Executive Summary:

SJV Horizontal, LLC (“Developer”), has submitted a final map for Tract No. 6431, Phase 2A consisting of 76 single-family residential lots and 3 outlots for public purposes. This map is for the second phase of the development referred to as “Somerset” by the Developer. In addition to submission of the final map, the Developer has executed the required Subdivision Agreement, Improvement and Credit/Reimbursement Agreement, and all other required documents as required by the Conditions of Approval. The City Engineer, City Surveyor, and City Staff have reviewed the final map and deemed it to be technically correct and in compliance with the approved tentative map. Staff recommends approval of the final map and all associated agreements and documents so that the development may continue to progress to completion.

Background:

At its meeting on June 24, 2025, the City Council approved the Final Map, Subdivision Agreement, covenants and all other associated documents for Tract 6431, Phase 1 (“Somerset”).

Page 228 of 240 ends

The project is generally located south of North Avenue, east of Bethel Avenue, and west of Greenwood Avenue. That project is currently under construction in accordance with the approved documents, and the Developer has subsequently submitted a Final Map for the second phase of this development.

The final map and improvement plans for Tract No. 6431, Phase 2A were submitted as required by the conditions of approval (“Conditions”) for the Project. Since all required improvements have not been completed prior to the approval of the final map, a subdivision agreement (“Agreement”) is required between the City and Developer in accordance with Section 62-177 of the Sanger Municipal Code. The Developer has executed the Agreement (included as an attachment to the adopting resolution) and has provided the required subdivision securities to cover 100% of the cost of all subdivision improvements for faithful performance and 50% of the cost of all subdivision improvements for payment to contractors and material suppliers. The Developer has also provided copies of the appropriate insurance certificates as required by the Agreement.

In addition to the typical subdivision improvements needed to provide supporting infrastructure to the new housing lots, the Conditions required the construction of certain storm drain improvements in conformance to the Storm Drain Master Plan (“Storm Drain Conditions”).

Specifically, the Storm Drain Conditions included the construction of a 42” pipeline in Montacute Avenue and the outlot on the northwest corner of the project. The Conditions also included the construction of a 18” pipeline in the same outlot as the 42” pipe that picks up drainage near the intersection of Lyon Avenue and Langport Avenue. In accordance with Section 50-29 of the Sanger Municipal Code, the Developer is eligible for development impact fee credits and/or reimbursement for costs beyond their fair share. An Improvement and Credit/Reimbursement Agreement (“Reimbursement Agreement”) has been prepared by the City and executed by the Developer and is attached herein. The Reimbursement Agreement contemplates that the Developer is eligible for approximately $52,000 from future development impact fees upon completion of all improvements and acceptance by the City.

In general, the Conditions require the completion of all supporting infrastructure improvements including water and sewer pipelines and services, storm drainage pipelines and structures, roadway curbs, gutters, sidewalks, ramps, paving, streetlights and landscaping. The Conditions also require the annexation of the property to a Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District (LLMD) and Community Facilities District (CFD) and these processes were initiated at meetings earlier this year. At the time of this staff report, annexations to both districts were to be completed earlier in the meeting of September 17th, 2026. Per the Conditions, the final map cannot be recorded until these annexations have been completed. Additional covenants are also required to acknowledge the Right to Farm Law.

All applicable documents have been signed by the Developer. Staff has reviewed all documents, deemed them technically correct, and hereby recommends approval by the City Council.

Reason for Recommendation:

Sanger Municipal Code Section 62-97 states that the City Council “shall approve the final map if it conforms to all the requirements of this chapter and the map act applicable at the time of

Page 229 of 240 ends

approval or conditional approval of the tentative map and any rulings made thereunder, or, if it does not so conform, disapprove the map.” It is Staff’s opinion that the Developer has complied with all necessary requirements and project Conditions and therefore recommends approval as stated herein.

Fiscal Impact:

The Developer has paid all fees and submitted all deposits required for approval of the Final Map and plans, and has agreed to pay for ongoing public works and building inspections through the remainder of the project. Development impact fees due for each residential unit constructed will be collected at the date of final inspection or issuance of certificate of occupancy for that unit, whichever occurs first, in accordance with Government Code 66007. Exhibit C to the Impact and Credit/Reimbursement Agreement shows the impact fee payments, anticipated credits and reimbursements.

Alternatives:

None recommended.

Actions Following Approval:

City Staff will execute the map as delineated thereon and prepare supporting documentation for delivery to the County Recorder. Once completed and recorded, Staff will monitor the progress of completion of all improvements and satisfaction of the project Conditions and, once all are satisfied, make a recommendation for final acceptance of the subdivision improvements and release of the subdivision securities.
