Environmental Assessment No. P24-04067

Development Permit Application No. P24-04067, filed by Jeff Bretz and managed by the City of Fresno Planning and Development Department, authorizes the development of a 0.17-acre vacant lot located at 2133 East McKinley Avenue, Fresno, California. The project involves the construction of a new 2,400 square-foot retail building on a parcel zoned as Commercial General. Key site improvements include a parking lot with five additional spaces, a new drive approach, a trash enclosure, landscaping, and a six-foot-high chain link perimeter fence featuring a rolling gate. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332/Class 32 for in-fill development, as it is consistent with the general plan and zoning and presents no significant environmental impacts. Compliance is required with the Citywide Development Code for noise standards and San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District regulations for air quality. Additionally, water quality conditions have been established through reviews by the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District, Fresno County Public Health, and City of Fresno Public Utilities. Administrative oversight is provided by Supervising Planner Erik Young and Planner II Brittany Martin.
