Council approves DeYoung Blossom View annexation for 119 homes in planned low‑medium density development

The Fresno City Council approved annexation and associated entitlements for DeYoung Blossom View (P24‑0504526) on Aug. 14 after a brief staff presentation and public remarks by the applicant.

Project details: Supervising planner Rob Holt summarized the proposal as an annexation and prezone of roughly 23.56 acres for a subdivision of 119 single‑family homes at an average density of about 5.05 dwelling units per acre (RS‑4). The plan includes approximately 11,500 square feet of open space, exceeding the minimum required 9,700 square feet, and a trail along the northern and eastern boundary. The Planning Commission recommended approval on a 5‑0 vote.

Public comment and council action: Developer Brandon DeYoung said the plan includes a mix of lot sizes and a public portion with amenities for the broader neighborhood; he noted community outreach and a letter of support. After limited council questions and no speakers from the public, the council approved the standard item with a roll‑call vote (6‑0 as recorded during the meeting). The clerk noted the item passed following council motions and the item was filed as approved.

Why it matters: The annexation adds 119 single‑family lots to the city inventory on land intended for medium‑low density housing and includes sidewalks/trails and dedicated open space for neighborhood use.

Next steps: Staff and the developer will proceed with final engineering, off‑site improvements and building permit submittals.
