Document Description
The Project proposes the development of 166 single-family lots averaging 5,561 square feet per lot, development of an on-site storm drain basin, and seven outlots over two phases. Phase 1 would consist of approximately 19.57 acres and develop 89 lots, five outlots, and the on-site storm drain basin. Phase 2 would consist of the remaining 14.41 acres and develop 77 lots and two outlots, one of which is a storm drain basin. On- and off-site improvements, including circulation roads, interior local streets, curb, gutter, sidewalk, open space, and landscaping, are proposed as part of the Project. As a part of the Project, the Buttonwillow Ditch will be undergrounded per City requirements. The Project site is located within the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI) and has a planned land use designation of Low Density Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre [du/acre]) and High Density Residential (15-29 du/acre) pursuant to the Reedley 2030 General Plan. The site is zoned Limited Agricultural (AL-20) according to the County of Fresno zoning map. The Project proposes to amend the planned land use designation of an approximately 3.5-acre portion of the Project site from High Density Residential to Low Density Residential. Additionally, the Project proposes to pre-zone the Project site and the three rural residential parcels to the northwest, APNs 370-040-13, 370-040-22, and 370-040-23, to the R-1-6 (Low Density Residential) zone district in preparation for annexation of the parcels consistent with the Reedley 2030 General Plan. The annexation request would remove the area from the Fresno County Fire Protection District and the Kings River Conservation District service boundaries. For purposes of the CEQA analysis, these three properties are only considered for annexation into the city limits. There is no new development or change in land use proposed on these properties, and they are considered to be a part of the baseline. Water, sewer, solid waste, and storm drainage utilities will be provided by the City of Reedley. Electricity will be provided by Pacific Gas and Electric and natural gas will be provided by Southern California Gas. Construction of the residential development would occur over a maximum of 48 months. It is anticipated that the following pieces of equipment would be used during construction activities: • Roller • Loaded trucks • Excavator • Generator • Service truck • Air compressor Entitlements and Approvals: • General Plan Amendment Application No. 2025-01 • Rezone Application No. 2025-01 • Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 6497 • Annexation of the described properties into the City by LAFCo through Annexation Application No. 2025-01
