BACKGROUND The Fresno City Planning Commission on December 2, 2020 approved Vesting Tentative Map No. 6212 (Tentative Map) for a 84-lot single-family residential subdivision on 17.42 acres (See attached map). The Tentative Map was approved consistent with the Fresno General Plan to comply with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act. Tract No. 6212 is the first and last phase. 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 by executing the Subdivision Agreement for Tract No. 6212, submitted securities in the total amount of $1,396,000 to guarantee the completion and acceptance of the public improvements and $698,000 for a payment security and has paid the miscellaneous and development impact fees due as a condition of approval for the Final Map in the amount of $460,716.00. Covenants have been executed to defer eligible development impact fees totaling $1,902,506.11 to the time of final occupancy of each unit, for annual CFD-11 assessment notification, acknowledging right-to-farm law, and for special solid waste services for certain lots. The City Attorney's Office has approved all documents as to form and the Risk Management Division has approved all security bonds and insurance certificates. MAINTENANCE DISTRICT: A condition of approval of the Tentative Map is to maintain the concrete curbs and gutters, valley gutters, sidewalks and curb ramps, and street lighting 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 March 9, 2023. The Subdivider has executed the covenant for Maintenance of Certain Improvements and as a condition of the Subdivision Agreement, is required to provide every prospective purchaser of each lot of the subdivision the "Notice of Special Tax", in accordance with the provision of Section 53341.5 of the California Government Code. The maximum annual assessment is $721.49 per lot with an annual 2% adjustment or by the rise of the Construction Cost Index (CCI), if it exceeds 2% for the San Francisco Region. The Subdivider has satisfied the public safety requirement by annexing the subdivision into the City's CFD-18 on April 20, 2023.The maximum annual assessment is $164.00 per lot with an annual 2% adjustment or by the rise of the Construction Cost Index (CCI), if it exceeds 2% for the San Francisco Region. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15268(b)(3), approval of final subdivision maps is a 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 of a construction or services contract. FISCAL IMPACT The Final Map is located in Council District 1. 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.
