Document Description
The OAT Project area of 9.72 acres is located in downtown Fresno and is generally bounded by "O" Street, Ventura Street, "M" Street, and State Route 41 (SR 41). The OAT Project includes the acquisition, clearance, and transfer of land, and development of mixed-use office and retail uses. A portion of the Project site (2.8 acres) was transferred to the State of California for the development of the 5th District Court of Appeals at "O" Street and Ventura Street; the remainder of the land (6.92 acres) is for the proposed OAT Project. The project evaluated in this SEIR (the "Relocation Project") consists of the relocation of five historic homes to one of the following receiver sites: Receiver Site 1 - ("L" Street); Receiver Site 2 - (Fire Station); and Receiver Site 3 - (Emerson School). The evaluation includes an analysis of the environmental suitability of each receiver site for receiving the five historic resources. Site size, land use and zoning, alternative uses, and other factors, as well as each site's ability to mitigate the OAT Project impacts on these historic resources, are examined.
