Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 6541 Project

Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 6541 Project

The proposed Project involves the development of a 271 single-family residential subdivision on an approximately 53.43-acre portion of APN 012-190 255T and 012-160-ZSST (Project Site). Currently, the Project is located outside of the City of Mendota’s city limits and the City of Mendota’s Sphere of Influence. In addition to the 271 single-family residential lot tentative subdivision map (TSM), the Project includes a request to amend the City’s Sphere of Influence (SCI) and annex the Project site into the City. The Project proposes to amend the existing Low Density Residential land use designation for APN 012-190-255T to Medium Density Residential while concurrently amending the City’s Official Zoning Map to prezone APN 012-190-255T to the R-1 zone district (Single-Family/Medium Density Residential), which is consistent with the proposed Medium Density Residential General Plan land use designation. Additionally, the Project proposes to prezone APN 012-160-ZSST to the P-F zone district (Public Facilities) which is consistent with the current Public Facility General Plan land use designation. The application also requests the Project be processed as a Planned Development to provide flexibility from the normally required development standards of the R-l zone district. Upon approval of the Project the City of Mendota City Council, the amendment of the City’s SCI and annexation of the Project site would be initiated with the Fresno County Local Agency Formation Commission (Fresno LAFCo). In addition to development of the subdivision, the Project would extend Amador Avenue to Belmont Avenue with one lane in each direction. The Project would also include a new permanent storm drainage basin, approximately 4.21 acres in size, located immediately north of the subdivision (on APN 012-160-ZSST) to accommodate storm water runoff generated by the Project. Additionally, approximately one-half mile of new sewer main piping and manholes will extend the existing Westside Sewer Interceptor trunk line from its current terminus on the northside of the existing residential subdivision along Amador Avenue to the southern end of the development.
