Environmental Assessment No. T-6432/P23-02268/P23- 02269/P23-03234

Environmental Assessment No. T-6432/P23-02268/P23-02269/P23-03234 involves a comprehensive land use project on the west side of South Peach Avenue in Fresno, California. The project consists of four primary components: the annexation of the property into the City of Fresno by detaching it from the Kings River Conservation District and Fresno County Fire Protection District; the pre-zoning of approximately 8.98 acres from county agricultural districts to City of Fresno RS-5 and RS-5/ANX residential districts; the subdivision of 3.97 acres into a 44-lot single-family residential development; and a planned development permit to modify RS-5 standards to allow for private streets and reduced lot sizes and setbacks. The developer is responsible for all on- and off-site improvements, including circulation roads, utilities, and landscaping, with sewer services provided by the City of Fresno and water services provided by the Bakman Water District. The City of Fresno Planning and Development Department served as the lead agency, approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration on October 16, 2025, after determining that no significant environmental impacts would occur with the application of mitigation measures. This process included a public review period and coordination with the Department of Toxic Substances Control, which recommended soil and fill material testing for contaminants such as pesticides and petroleum hydrocarbons. The project is compliant with CEQA guidelines and the Public Resources Code, with Juan Lara serving as the primary point of contact for the City of Fresno.
