Initial Study No. 7879; Amendment Application No. 3842, Classified Conditional Use Permit Application No. 3682

Fresno County has approved a land use rezoning and conditional use permit for a 23.61-acre parcel combination in Fresno, California, consisting of three parcels identified by APNs 316-071-36, 38, and 75, to change their zoning classification from AL-20 (Limited Agricultural, requiring 20-acre minimum parcels) to M-3(c) (Heavy Industrial, Conditional), permitting limited industrial uses. The primary intent is to expand existing operations at a fertilizer manufacturing facility located on a separate 4.12-acre parcel (APN 316-071-37) by incorporating the adjacent 3.46-acre and 0.5-acre parcels for expanded soil amendments, warehousing, and distribution activities, while excluding the 19.65-acre parcel from development. This action followed an environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration for Initial Study No. 7879, which determined that potential impacts on aesthetics, air quality, noise, transportation, biological resources, and cultural resources could be reduced to less-than-significant levels through adopted mitigation measures. The project was formally approved on October 21, 2025, with the application filed as Amendment Application No. 3842 and Classified Conditional Use Permit Application No. 3682. All documentation and submissions were directed to the Fresno County Clerk and the Department of Public Works and Planning, with hard-copy filing required at specified county addresses and no electronic submission options available. The applicant was identified as individuals Angelo Paolucci and Rosanna Diallo, and the primary point of contact for planning matters is Jeremy Shaw, Planner at Fresno County. No federal procurement components, contract clauses, pricing, payment terms, solicitation numbers, or FAR-related requirements appear in the documentation, as this is strictly a local land use and environmental regulatory process under CEQA with no federal acquisition or procurement nature. Performance and delivery terms, packaging specifications, inspection criteria, or contract administration elements typical of federal contracts are not applicable or specified.
