City of Mendota General Plan Update (2005-2025)

City of Mendota General Plan Update (2005-2025)

The City proposes to update its General Plan, which had its last comprehensive update in 1991. The proposed General Plan update will address six of the seven mandatory topics: Land Use, Circulation, Open Space, Conservation, Noise, and Safety. The Housing Element was prepared separately in 2004 and is not required to be updated until 2009. The City of Mendota is situated in the central portion of the San Joaquin Valley, in northwestern Fresno County near the confluence of the San Joaquin River and the Fresno Slough. State Routes (SR) 33 and 180 also intersect in Mendota. The main transportation route between northern and southern California, Interstate 5, is located about 15 miles west of Mendota. The City is approximately ten miles southeast of the City of Firebaugh and 35 miles west of the City of Fresno. An NOP and an EIR for the GP was published in January 2007. Since that time, several modifications to the existing boundaries (through subsequent annexation) and the proposed Planning Boundaries have resulted in changes to the Planning Area and proposed Land Use Diagram. Therefore, the City determined that a new NOP is warranted.
