The proposed project is located at 4080 W. Shaw Avenue, on the southwest corner of North Brawley and West San Jose Avenues. Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-13-002 requests authorization to establish a State of California Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 21 liquor license (sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for consumption off the premises where sold) for a proposed 24/7 Walmart Supercenter, which will also offer groceries, general merchandise, and an outdoor garden center. The existing Walmart at 3680 W. Shaw Avenue will be relocated to the property at 4080 W. Shaw Avenue.

Since opening in June 1995, Sloan Johnson Oso de Oro Lake Park has been the recipient of National and State awards for innovation and design excellence. It was also the model for the District’s Trolley Creek Park in southeast Fresno.
This nine-acre site combines its primary function of storm water retention with secondary functions of groundwater recharge and recreation. Nearly all construction costs were provided by private donations.
With the award of a $50,000 grant, there are major improvements planned for the park including a lighted play area so the park can be used more in the winter months.

The proposed project is located in northwest Fresno and is generally bound by W. Herndon Ave. on the north, N. Bryan and W. Bullard Avenues on the east, Carnegie Avenue to the south, and State Route 99 to the west (map of project area). Entitlements for this project will include a General Plan Amendment, Rezone, and Master Conditional Use Permit Applications, a Development Agreement, and Tentative Tract Map.
The applicant proposes to develop an approximately 238-acre project at the northwest gateway of the City. The final development would include retail, office, hospitality, and entertainment uses. The integrated, mixed-use project is planned to include:

The City will install approximately 69,300 linear feet (13 miles) of 20-inch through 66-inch diameter Regional Transmission Mains (RTMs). These RTMs are treated (potable) water pipelines that will convey potable water from the new Southeast Surface Water Treatment Facility (SESWTF), which is also being constructed as part of the City of Fresno Water Division’s Capital Improvement Plan, to existing smaller-diameter water distribution piping. These transmission pipelines will enable water from the treatment facility to reach residents and businesses throughout the City.

The Southeast Surface Water Treatment Facility (SESWTF) will be a new water treatment facility to treat surface (river) water to drinking water standards and enable diversification of the City’s water supply. The facility will be fed with surface water from the Kings River through a newly constructed thirteen mile long Kings River Pipeline and will have initial and ultimate treatment capacities of 54 million gallons per day (mgd) and 80 mgd, respectively. This facility will provide an additional 72,000 acre-feet per year of treated (potable) water for use by residential and commercial customers throughout the City. Implementation of this and other ongoing major projects will reduce reliance on groundwater and alleviate groundwater depletion.
For decades, the City of Fresno relied on groundwater as its main supply. While the City of Fresno receives a small portion of surface water from the San Joaquin River, Fresnans rely on groundwater for nearly 90 percent of its water. The SESWTF will allow us to maximize use of available surface water in normal years, and reduce our dependence on groundwater resources, which are rapidly depleting. Treated surface water from the SESWTF will provide an additional 72,000 acre-feet per year of treated water to the City’s water supply and will alleviate groundwater depletion.
Construction Update
Construction of the Southeast Surface Water Treatment Facility, the “backbone” of Recharge Fresno, is making good progress and remains on schedule to begin delivering potable water to the City in late June 2018. The major concrete water-holding structures are nearly complete and most are undergoing thorough leakage testing; off-site utility and road improvements are complete with Fowler, Armstrong, and Olive avenues completely open to traffic; exposed piping, ductwork, and electrical conduits are approximately 60% complete; installation of large mechanical and electrical equipment is underway; and architectural work on support buildings is ongoing. Most heavy construction will be complete by January 2018, and extensive calibration and functional testing of all equipment, systems, and treatment processes will begin. The completion of the KRP and RTMs pipelines is coordinated to support the plant’s schedule. The construction team has recorded more than 300,000 hours of labor without “lost-time” accidents.
The City will install approximately 69,300 linear feet (13 miles) of 20-inch through 66-inch diameter Regional Transmission Mains (RTMs).
The Southeast Surface Water Treatment Facility will maximize use of surface water resources and ensure clean, safe water for Fresnans. T
