Tentative Tract Maps

Although the City of Fresno does not require an application for the submittal of a tract map, there is a submittal checklist that identifies what needs to be included in the map.  Fees vary depending on the size of the proposed project.  Please contact the Planning Division for fees.

Tentative Parcel Maps

Similar to a Tentative Tract Map as described above, a Tentative Parcel Map is a process that subdivides property. However, unlike a Tentative Tract Map, Parcel Maps typically proposed four or less parcels or to create a unified commercial shopping center.

Community Facilities Districts

The City of Fresno, Public Works Department established the “City of Fresno Special Tax Financing Law” per the California Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 to allow for the establishment of a new or annexation into an existing Community Facilities Districts (CFD) to provide financing for the maintenance and operations of certain required public infrastructure within new developments.  The landowner(s) of new developments shall be responsible for providing for the maintenance of certain public infrastructure within new developments.

The landowner(s) may choose the formation of, or annexation into, a CFD for either partial or all of the financing for the maintenance and servicing of certain public improvements OR the landowner shall provide for the maintenance and servicing in a manner approved by the City of Fresno, Public Works Department, City Engineer.

The following is given, as guidance, for the CFD process:

• CFD Annexation Request Form for Single-Family Residential
• CFD Annexation Request Form for Commercial/Industrial/Multi-Family Residential
• Current CFD Cost Rates (FY 17-18)
• City Law
• CFD9 Goals and Policies
• CFD11 Goals and Policies (currently not available)

GIS Mapping

The GIS Mapping Section provides the parcels and street centerlines that serve as a foundation for mapping for all other departments within the City. GIS Mapping section coordinates with all city departments along with other agencies such as Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District, Fresno Irrigation District, City of Clovis, Fresno Council of Governments, Fresno County Local Agency Formation Commission and CalTrans. The GIS Division parcels differ from the Assessor Record Maps maintained by the Fresno County Assessor’s Office in the following ways:

•  GIS Division parcels seek to describe physical reality and proposals. For instance, the maps may show each lot in a mobile home park, in which the entire park is one legal parcel. In cases like this, each lot has the entire park’s tax code.
• GIS Division parcels show “seamless” parcels. That is, they have been stretched or “rubber sheeted” where necessary to ensure there are no gaps or slivers between subdivisions and sections. These anomalies occur when joining coordinate geometry (COGO) drawings used in parcel and subdivision legal descriptions. The intent is to accurately display parcel and street relationships with minimal sacrifice of dimensional accuracy. The resulting maps are good for planning, overlaying facilities (sewer, gas, water, etc), and seeing the relationships between parcels.
