Action Summary of the August 3, 2020, ALUC Meeting (Brenda Veenendaal)

Action:  Review and approve, or approve with edits, the August 3, 2020, Fresno County Airport Land Use Commission Action Summary.

B.
City of Clovis – Sierra Pavilions Shopping Center Proposed Actions (Braden Duran)

Summary: The City of Clovis, on behalf of applicant Patrick Murphy, is asking for a Land Use Determination by the ALUC for General Plan Amendment GPA2020-003, Conditional Use Permit CUP2020-003, and Site Plan Review SPR2020-004 for a property located at the northwest corner of Shaw and Cole Avenues in the City of Clovis.

The application pertains to ± 1.07 acre of leased property within a greater ±6.5-acre parcel on the corner, as part of the Sierra Pavilions Shopping Center. The applicant is requesting a text amendment to the Shaw Avenue Specific Plan and a conditional use permit to allow for a ±3,316 square-foot drive-thru use (Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers) on the subject property. The project would include the demolition of the existing structure on the site (currently a Pier 1 Imports retail store). The maximum permitted height would be below 25 feet for the project, if approved. A categorical exemption is expected to be filed for this project to satisfy California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

The site is located within Zone 6, the Traffic Pattern Zone (TPZ), of the Fresno Yosemite International Airport. The ALUCP restrictions on density and open land for the TPZ are not expected to be an issue for this project. Other prohibited land uses in the TPZ include high intensity uses, as well as hazards to flight.

Other Development Conditions Include:

  • Airport disclosure notice
  • Airspace review required for objects >100 feet tall

The Project applicant filed with the FAA for a No Hazard Determination on September 11, 2020 (Aeronautical Study Number: 2020-AWP-10632-OE).

This project does not fall under any noise contours as defined by the ALUCP.

Action: Staff recommends that the ALUC approves a Conditional Finding of Consistency for the General Plan Amendment GPA2020-003, Conditional Use Permit CUP2020-003, and Site Plan Review SPR2020-004 as proposed by the City of Clovis.

C.
County of Fresno -- Variance at 527 N. Temperance Avenue in the County of Fresno. (Brenda Veenendaal)

Summary: The County of Fresno, on behalf of applicants Aurelio and Naomi Gonzalez is seeking approval of a variance to allow creation of three 2.5 +/- acre and a 5.0 +/- acre parcels from a 12.99 +/- acre parcel in the AE-20 Zone District without public road frontage. The subject parcel is located at 527 N. Temperance Avenue in the County of Fresno which sits within the 60-64 CNEL noise contour of Fresno Yosemite International Airport as defined by the ALUCP. 

Table 3B of the Fresno County ALUCP states that residential, agriculture and livestock farming, animal breeding, animal shelters and kennel uses withing CNEL 60-64 are conditionally compatible. This means that land use and related structures are permitted, provided that sound insulation is provided to reduce interior noise levels from exterior sources to CNEL 45 dB or lower. All other uses land uses and related structures are compatible without restrictions.

The site is also located within Zone 6, the Traffic Pattern Zone (TPZ), of the Fresno Yosemite International Airport. The ALUCP restrictions on density and open land for the TPZ are not expected to be an issue for this project. Other prohibited land uses in the TPZ include high intensity uses, as well as hazards to flight.

Other Development Conditions Include:

  • Airport disclosure notice
  • Airspace review required for objects >100 feet tall

Action: Staff recommends that the ALUC approves a Conditional Finding of Consistency for a variance at 527 N. Temperance Avenue in the County of Fresno. 

D.
City of Clovis – Clovis/Dakota Business Complex (Braden Duran)

Summary: The City of Clovis, on behalf of applicant Don Pickett & Associates, Inc., is asking for a Land Use Determination by the ALUC for Rezone application R2020-003 for  ± 30 acre property located near the Northeast corner of Clovis and Dakota Avenues in the City of Clovis.

The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from the C-2 (Community Commercial), M-1 (Light Industrial), M-2 (Heavy Industrial), and R-2 (Multifamily Medium-High Density Residential) Zone Districts to the C-M (Commercial and Light manufacturing) Zone District. This action is necessary to make future improvements to the site. While this application is rezone only at this time, the applicant has future improvement plans that include the construction of approximately 49 buildings totaling approximately 390,000 square-feet over the course of 5 to 10 years, depending on market conditions.

The C-M Zone District permits building heights up to 75 feet per the City of Clovis Municipal Code; however, the applicants conceptual plans indicate a maximum height of roughly 25 feet.

To satisfy the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the City of Clovis prepared an Initial Study Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND) that was circulated for public review in June and July 2020.

The site is located within Zone 6, the Traffic Pattern Zone (TPZ), of the Fresno Yosemite International Airport. The ALUCP restrictions on density and open land for the TPZ are not expected to be an issue for this project. Other prohibited land uses in the TPZ include high intensity uses, as well as hazards to flight.

Other Development Conditions Include:

  • Airport disclosure notice
  • Airspace review required for objects >100 feet tall

The Project applicant filed with the FAA for a No Hazard Determination on September 16, 2020 (Aeronautical Study Number: 2020-AWP-10761-OE).

Action: Staff recommends that the ALUC approves a Conditional Finding of Consistency for the Rezone application R2020-003 as proposed by the City of Clovis.
