East Annadale Avenue / South Elm Avenue / East Chester Avenue, Fresno, CA (bounded by E. Annadale Ave to the north, SR-41 to the east, S. Elm Ave to the west, E. Chester/E. Samson Ave to the south)

A denial locks ~55 acres into Neighborhood Mixed-Use/NMX zoning, killing any light-industrial play on this SR-41-adjacent site and signaling council resistance to industrial conversion in Southwest Fresno — critical intel for any developer underwriting industrial or logistics land in this corridor.

Fresno City Council is holding a hearing to consider — and staff recommends denial of — a plan amendment and rezone of ~55.31 acres in Southwest Fresno that would have shifted the land use designation from Neighborhood Mixed-Use to Employment – Light Industrial and rezoned from NMX to IL/cz, along with denial of the related CEQA Addendum.
