Oh, thank you, Kevin.

All in favor?

I'm having a lot of things, Robert.

Okay.

Um, and then uh number three project review continued matters, which is letter A, the um plan development permit application P2601332 for Maliny Poe and Harbor Associates.

Do we have somebody here to present?

Come on up, introduce yourself.

The floor is yours to present your project.

Okay.

Good evening, uh John Bonadelli, Bonadelli neighborhood 73 North Route number 101 on the project applicant in the proposed track 6568.

We put together this brief presentation for for you as a district uh committee to review.

Um first and foremost, I wanted to thank the staff for their efforts so far for staff support on this proposed track 6568.

Um a couple of items I wanted to hit on if you go to the next slide.

Is uh just for this presentation, we always like to do a presentation, just add a little bit of color to the staff report for the committee to review.

Um, number one uh item I wanted to talk about is the new residential office conversion that's allowed in the general plan of the city of Fresno.

Secondly, um I wanted to emphasize that this is a market rate detached single family proposed housing project.

Um is a product type that Vonadeli has built over a thousand times here in the Central Valley and Fresno, Clovis, Briverstone, and some of the other municipalities uh in our area, uh and it is geared to serve uh first-time home buyers.

Um this project is particularly exciting because it's really a true infill project and it has great access to employment uh corridors and major employers in Fresno nearby, so it's a really pedestrian project.

Um every Intel or what we call our legacy series, which is this housing uh type that we build, uh every legacy series project we build uh has an amenity amenities program at the end of the community.

So I'll show you what we're proposing for here, and then finally you can see our floor plans and uh renderings.

So if you go to the next slide.

So uh the reason for the proposed project is we um the city council adopted a text amendment in 2025 allowing uh housing to be built within uh office um according to office zone parcels, vacant parcels are according to the development code text amendment.

Um and so we are now as a single family residential builder able to uh propose projects within underutilized uh vacant office parcels.

So that's what this is proposing here.

This is not a general plan amendment, this is not a rezone.

Um, and overall it's a really efficient reuse of land.

Uh office with work from home is a lot less uh in demand right now, whereas housing we have a shortage here locally and statewide, and so uh this is a really uh efficient reuse of land.

Um I believe that this also helped to restore the city's pro housing designation from HCD.

Um looking specifically at proposed track 6568.

This is a far less intense use of uh compared to what could be built here from a residential perspective.

I believe that the code now allows uh a builder to go all the way up to RM3, which is far more units to the acre than what we're proposing here.

We're proposing 12 units to the acre of detached single family.

Uh and also um I believe the code allows for up to 45 feet of height now on buildings, whereas our tallest home proposed in this project is only 25 feet, which is nearly half.

Um again, it's not a general plan amendment or a reason.

Go to the next slide, please.

Our legacy series is entirely market rate detached, uh owner occupied, or in most cases single family.

Um it's HOA maintained, so it's really a uh self-maintained community that doesn't put a lot of emphasis or strain on the city.

Landscaping is maintained by the HOA.

It has private uh water in this situation uh at the request of uh department of utilities.

Um these are full width private streets, as I alluded to earlier.

We have a community pool in inside of this neighborhood, and then we have uh designated parking stalls in the neighborhood, in addition to our our plans have full-width garages that can accommodate two cars uh on each on each house.

Next slide, please.

Uh these are entirely two-story homes, they're really oriented towards the first-time home buyer, which is we found at Bonadeli the hardest um segment of buyers right now, the segment that's struggling the most to get into their own home.

Um price per square foot, it's always going to be determined by the market, but our initial underwriting suggests that it will be in line with the resale MLS pricing in the neighborhood.

We analyze the apartment rents uh nearby, and our mortgage payments based off a six and a half percent rate are very similar and in line with what the uh higher end apartment complexes uh are asking for in rents.

So this is really designed to get a renter into their first home.

Um as I said earlier, it's a proven first-time home buyer product.

We built this uh most recently in Fresno and the Figarden Blue off of uh Herndon and Polk.

It was a very popular 90 home community that's sold out very quickly.
