Annexes a - I Annex A: City of Clovis ANNEXES A - I ANNEX A: CITY OF CLOVIS A.1 Community Profile Figure A.1 displays a map and the location within Fresno County of the City of Clovis and its Sphere of Influence. Figure A.1: The City of Clovis A.1.1 Geography and Climate Located in the northeast quadrant of the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area in northern Fresno County, Clovis is situated in the midst of the agriculturally rich San Joaquin Valley. It covers a roughly 21,108 acre area that encompasses the City of Clovis and unincorporated Fresno County, inclusive of the City’s Sphere of Influence. Over the past decade, the City has annexed land in the southeast near Dog Creek and expanded its Sphere of Influence in the north. All lands outside of the City’s Sphere of Influence are regulated by the Fresno County General Plan and zoning designations. However, state law requires that cities plan for areas outside of their immediate jurisdiction if the areas have a direct relationship to planning needs. Fresno County (Clovis) DRAFT Annex A.1 Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Clovis consists of three distinct geographical areas: The City, which represents the incorporated City within the City limit boundaries; the Sphere of Influence, which corresponds to the City’s existing Sphere of Influence; and the study area, which includes unincorporated Fresno County lands outside of the City’s Sphere of Influence. Immediately beyond Clovis to the northeast are the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The City of Fresno and its Sphere of Influence are located to the southwest. The southwestern portion of Clovis is characterized by mostly urbanized land uses, whereas the northern and eastern portions of Clovis are predominantly rural in nature, comprised of agricultural, rural, residential, and vacant land uses. Clovis has an average annual temperature of 63.2°F and receives 10.2 inches of rain. While the average is relatively temperate, summer and winter months bring unique weather patterns to the region. During the winter, high temperatures hover around 55°F. Combined with the regional geography and precipitation during this time, Clovis experiences numerous days with dense fog, which has its greatest impact on transportation: accident rates jump 50 percent on foggy days. During the summer months, the region has extended periods where temperatures exceed 100°F. While the average temperature is 90°F during the summer, these extended heat waves impact the medically fragile, elderly, and animal populations. In addition to heat waves, the Fresno County region continues to suffer regular drought due to lower than normal snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, which supplies water for agricultural use and replenishes the groundwater supply. A.1.2 History The City of Clovis was named after the spirited pioneer, Clovis M. Cole, who spent nearly all of his life in the vicinity. The area was known for the thousands of acres of wheat that he had cultivated. The first thoughts of settlement, however, are credited to Padre Martin, who explored the area in 1806 while searching for a mission site. Missionaries and trappers were the first nonnative people to roam the area. Miners soon followed during the gold rush, displacing the many Native American tribes that were settled in the foothills and near the rivers. Another early settler, Marcus Pollasky, proposed and coordinated the construction of a railroad through the grain, cattle, and mining country and into the timber-rich forests of the nearby Sierra. The City eventually grew up around the San Joaquin Division of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which played an important role in the founding and growth of Clovis. In addition to the arrival of the railroad, the completion of the 42-mile-long Shaver log flume, development of the 40-acre Clovis mill and finishing plant, expansion of grain production, and the livestock industry all contributed to the founding of Clovis in 1891. The City was incorporated in 1912. A.1.3 Economy The City’s economic base consists of retail sales and services and light manufacturing. Availability of housing, quality hospital care, excellent schools with modern facilities, responsive safety Fresno County (Clovis) DRAFT Annex A.2 Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan services, a mild climate, access to varied recreational opportunities, and strong community identity all contribute to Clovis’ reputation as a great place to live. Clovis has actively maintained a small-town community spirit as envisioned by its founders, exemplified by such community events as the annual Rodeo Days, Big Hat Days, and Clovisfest celebration. This community pride, combined with Clovis’ unique growth opportunities, continues to attract new residents, developers, businesses, and industries to the City.

    “If you are working on a problem you can solve in your lifetime, you’re thinking too small.” Wes Jackson I have been blessed to spend time with some of our nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders— truly extraordinary people. When I listen to them tell their stories about how hard they fought to combat the issues of their day, how long it took them, and the fact that they never stopped fighting, it grounds me. Those extraordinary people worked at what they knew they would never finish in their lifetimes. I have come to understand that the historical arc of this country always bends toward progress. It doesn’t come without a fight, and it doesn’t come in a single lifetime. It is the job of each generation of leaders to run the race with truth, honor, and integrity, then hand the baton to the next generation to continue the fight. That is what our foremothers and forefathers did. It is what we must do, for we are at that moment in history yet again. We have been passed the baton, and our job is to stretch this work as far as we can and run as hard as we can, to then hand it off to the next generation because we can see their outstretched hands. This project has been deeply emotional for me. It brought me back to my youthful days in Los Angeles when I would be constantly harassed, handcuffed, searched at gunpoint - all illegal, but I don’t know that then. I can still feel the terror I felt every time I saw a police cruiser.
