Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Final Map of Tract No. 6463 and accepting the dedicated public uses offered therein.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The landowner, Wilson Premier Homes, Inc., a California Corporation, has filed for approval of the Final Map of Tract No. 6463, a 216-lot single-family residential subdivision on the north side of McKinley Avenue east of Armstrong Avenue on 18.72 acres.
BACKGROUND
On July 3, 2024, the Fresno City Planning Commission approved Vesting Tentative Map No. 6360 (Tentative Map), a 326-lot single-family residential subdivision on 31.72 acres. The Tentative Map was approved consistent with the Fresno General Plan to comply with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act. Tract No. 6463 is the second phase of Tentative Map No. 6360.
The Final Map is technically correct and conforms to the approved Tentative Map, the Subdivision Map Act, and the Fresno Municipal Code. The provisions of Section 66474.1 of the Subdivision Map Act require a final map that is in substantial compliance with the approved tentative map to be approved by the City Council.
The Subdivider has satisfied all other conditions of approval and has paid the miscellaneous and development impact fees due as a condition of approval for the Final Map. Covenants have been executed to defer eligible development impact fees to the time of final occupancy of each unit, acknowledging right-to-farm law, relinquishing access rights for certain lots, and providing for sanitary sewer capacity in the Fowler Avenue Trunk Sewer. The City Attorney’s Office has approved all documents as to form.
Maintenance District: A condition of approval of the Tentative Map is to maintain the concrete sidewalks, curb, gutter, pads, and mow strip, landscaping, irrigation, hardscaping, trails, asphalt concrete paving, streetlights, and parks associated with the Final Map in accordance with the adopted standards of the City. The Subdivider has satisfied the maintenance requirement by annexing the subdivision into the City’s CFD 11 on May 1, 2025.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15268(b)(3), approval of final subdivision maps is ministerial action and is exempt from the requirements of CEQA.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because this resolution does not include a bid or award a construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Final Map is in Council District 7. There will be no impact to the City’s General Fund. Approval by the Council will result in timely deliverance of the review and processing of the Final Map as is reasonably expected by the Subdivider. Prudent financial management is demonstrated by the expeditious completion of this Final Map inasmuch as the Subdivider has paid the City a fee for the processing of this Final Map and that fee is, in turn, funding the respective operations of the Public Works Department.
