CUP and SPR 2025-02 Truman Street Gathering Hall

The City of Coalinga is overseeing the development of the Truman Street Gathering Hall located at 140 Truman Street in Fresno County, California. This project, identified as CUP and SPR 2025-02, involves the creation of a banquet and gathering hall designed to host various private events such as birthday parties, funeral services, and fundraisers. The scope of work includes the utilization of a previously approved 2,400 square foot building along with the addition of new accessory structures to support the facility's use. The project is being led by applicants and owners Ruben and Elida Ayala, with Jesse Barron serving as the primary point of contact for the city. Under the California Environmental Quality Act, the project has been determined to be categorically exempt under Section 15332/Class 32 for infill development, as it is consistent with local general plan policies and zoning regulations. The project is expected to have no significant environmental impacts.
