Administrative Special Use Permit No. PSP 25-083- Ignacio Vargas

The project involves the approval of a second dwelling unit on a 4.75-acre parcel located at 32458 Road 132, Visalia, California, within the AE-40 Exclusive Agricultural zoning district but inside the Visalia City Urban Area Boundary. The proposed structure is a 2,450-square-foot single-family residence accompanied by a 1,005-square-foot garage, a 699-square-foot patio or porch, a 9.84-kilowatt roof-mounted solar photovoltaic system, and a mandatory fire sprinkler system. This second unit is intended for use by a family member of the property owner, Ignacio Vargas, and is being pursued under an Administrative Special Use Permit numbered PSP 25-083. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15303, Class 3, due to its size being under the 2,500-square-foot threshold for new construction of small structures. The permit application was submitted to the Tulare County Resource Management Agency, with the approval process overseen by county planning and environmental staff, including Nebeyu Menkir, Gary Mills, and Jessica Wills. No federal procurement clauses or contracting mechanisms from the Federal Acquisition Regulation apply, as this is a local land use and environmental compliance matter, not a federal contract. The applicant is a private individual, and no corporate entity, business size classification, or socioeconomic representation is involved. The submission deadline for the permit application was October 29, 2025, and all documentation must be delivered to the County of Tulare at 5961 S. Mooney Blvd., Visalia, CA 93277. No financial value, payment terms, invoicing procedures, or procurement-related data are included, as the process centers on permitting and environmental compliance rather than acquisition. The property’s legal identifier is APN 079-040-007, and the approval hinges on adherence to zoning regulations and the CEQA exemption criteria without the need for further environmental impact analysis.
