Staff planner Juan Lauer with the Planning and Development Department presented the staff report and recommended adoption of the environmental document and approval of the applications, describing the proposal as an annexation and pre-zone request consistent with the Fresno General Plan and noting the proposed density and development standards modifications. \"These applications were submitted by Precision Engineering,\" Lauer said during the presentation.

The project applicant, Luke Reisner of Precision Civil Engineering, told the commission the subdivision would be a gated community of 44 units and that all homes would be built to rent. \"It's a 44 lot bridal gated subdivision,\" Reisner said. Developer Cameron Graham added the units are intended as rentals and that management will provide turnkey landscaping and parking. On the record the applicant said the project will be market-rate; \"As of right now, we're doing market rent. There is no low income housing component to this project,\" Reisner said.

The plans submitted to the city call for 44 lots on about 3.97 acres, a proposed density of about 11.08 dwelling units per acre and roughly 4,709 square feet of open space along the northeastern boundary of the subdivision. The plan-development permit requests modifications to RS-5 zone development standards for reduced setbacks, smaller lot sizes and increased lot coverage; staff directed the commission to the staff report for full details of the requested modifications.

Neighborhood outreach materials were included in the exhibits, and the applicant said outreach letters were sent to neighboring county residents when the land was acquired in 2021; some recipients declined annexation. A nearby resident, Gumarsundo Sanchez of 358 South Peach Avenue, asked whether the project would be low-income housing and what barrier would separate the development from existing homes; Sanchez asked, \"What's gonna separate us?\" The applicant and staff confirmed perimeter screening will be provided and that the conditions of approval require a block wall along the major-street frontage, and the applicant agreed to place block walls on the north, west and south property lines as well.

Vice Chair Bray recused from the item for business reasons prior to the public hearing; the commission continued the hearing in Bray's absence. After public comment closed the commission voted to approve the annexation, pre-zone, vesting tentative tract map number 6432 and related permits and environmental findings as recommended by staff.

The commission asked staff and the applicant to exchange contact information with nearby residents to address follow-up questions. The applicant and developer indicated they have not budgeted regular security patrols but said the gated design and block wall are intended to provide site security and to make the community feel like homes rather than a typical rental property.

Action on this item does not itself change utility or district service boundaries beyond the annexation and the stated detachment requests; the staff report notes the annexation request includes detachment from the Fresno County Fire Protection District and the Kings River Conservation District and that Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) and county staff recommended annexing the entire boundary consistent with the city-county memorandum of understanding on tax sharing.

Planning commissioners did not stipulate affordability requirements as a condition of approval. The applicant stated typical target rents in staff and applicant remarks of about $2,250 for roughly 1,350-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath units with two-car garages; the record shows the applicant described appliances and landscaping as likely included in rents but did not commit to a specific appliance package.

The commission approved the item by voice vote with the applicant and staff present; Vice Chair Bray did not participate due to the recusal.

\"All it is is the monitoring and evaluating and maintaining roadways for the purpose of maximizing the life of payment while minimizing cost,\" Mata said during the presentation, describing the program's assessments, prioritization and treatment toolbox, which ranges from slurry seal to full reconstruction.

Mata said the city's network pavement condition index (PCI) is about 60 overall; arterials were reported at about 62 and collectors about 64. He said about 2.3% of the network is in \"very poor\" condition and that the city has roughly $1.2 billion in deferred maintenance to bring all streets to a \"good\" condition. \"Right now, we have 1,200,000,000 in deferred maintenance,\" Mata said.

The presentation listed typical treatments and their expected benefits (slurry seals extend pavement life roughly five to seven years; overlays and full reconstructions address more severe deterioration) and gave a 2025 project list of slurry and capital paving projects, including complete repaving or partial overlays on specified corridors. Mata described current funding sources: approximately $2 million in recurring annual funds, SB 1 gas-tax revenues, Measure C receipts and competitive grants; he also noted the city's recently approved $100 million multi-year bond program identified as \"Pay More\" to accelerate repairs.

Commissioners and members of the public pressed staff on prioritization. Commissioners asked why small but very poor segments (shown in red on a condition map) were not repaired first; Mata said staff weighs the citywide benefit and coordinates with expected utility work and developer projects to avoid paving areas that soon would be disturbed. \"We look at the city as a whole. Where can we get the most bang for our buck?\" Mata said.

Commissioners and residents voiced frustration about specific corridors, including Shaw and sections where jurisdiction crosses city and county boundaries. Mata explained that some stretches are in county jurisdiction and that coordination is necessary; the department has limited annual funds and relies on grants and the bond to expand work.

Commissioners asked about accountability when utilities cut new trenches into recently paved streets. Mata said the city typically enforces a moratorium and repayment requirements: when a utility trenches in a street repaved within the prior five years, the utility must repave lanes to city standards rather than only the trench.

Several commissioners praised recent projects (Veterans Boulevard, Jensen repaving north of State Route 99) and asked staff to return with an action plan outlining options—including potential ballot measures or measures to prioritize funding—so commissioners and the public can consider next steps.

Mata closed by saying the pavement program aims to use available funds to achieve the greatest network benefit and that the bond and grant-seeking are intended to reduce the deferred-maintenance backlog over time.","Public Works presented the city's pavement-management program, described condition ratings and treatments, and said about $1.2 billion would be required to bring all streets to good condition. Staff noted current funding, the new $100 million 'Pay More' bond and reliance on grants and gas-tax revenues.","actionData","errors"]
