Document Description
The proposed project would result in the annexation of APNs 363-070-46 and 363-070-48 from the County of Fresno to the City and the development of APN 363-070-48 from agricultural use to residential use through the construction of a new private residential community, The Blossom Estates. The proposed project would develop 108 single-family residential lots ranging in size from 4,913 square feet to 10,469 square feet, with an average lot size of 5,448 square feet. The proposed project would also construct a 0.5-acre park within the residential community for public use on the project site. Potential future development of APN 363-070-46 would be evaluated under separate CEQA analysis in the event that an application is submitted.
Upon annexation from the County of Fresno to the City, the proposed project would require rezoning of the project site to Single-Family Residential (R-1-6). The R-1-6 Zoning District is intended to provide for living areas at locations designated by the General Plan for low and medium density, including single-family dwellings. Additionally, the proposed project would require a General Plan Amendment to Low-Density Residential, which would allow for 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre.
In addition, the proposed project would include roadway improvements for the development of the project site. East Cypress Avenue would be extended along the northern boundary of the project site, approximately 1,200 feet to the east from South Buttonwillow Avenue. The roadway extension would be 50 feet wide and contain traffic lanes in both directions. In addition, South Buttonwillow Avenue would be expanded to include pedestrian sidewalks and a bike line on the east side of the roadway.
