\.c.,
1. INTRODUCTION
,..
The Sun Garden Acres Subdivision is bounded by Shaw, Maple, Gettysburg
. and Cedar Avenues. Fresno State College is located directly acros s Shaw
Avenue to the north.
The subdivision has been the subject of at least two studies in recent
years by Fresno County and City staffs. The studies were generally limited
to review of justification for multiple residential zoning.
The need for guidelines for i.rnprovernerit of the subdivision area has been
widely recognized. More than a year ago, the county's planning staff held a
meeting with a number of the residents and members of the City's staff to
(
investigate the problem. It was concluded that the City was in the best position
(
to develop a specific plan for the area to provide urban services, and that the
unincorporated isIand that encompassed rnast of the subdivision should be
annexed to the City.
The City staff indicated to the residents that if the entire subdivision was
annexed, ·a specific plan proposal wouId. subsequently be'developed and submitted
to the City Planning Commission and City Council for their consideration.
Based on a desire for urban services and a specific plan for the area, the
residents voted to join the City by a large majority in March, 1968. Subsequent
to the annexation, street lighting and fire hydrants have been installed at all
, intersections where such services could be made available.
