Initial Study No. 8022 and Classified Conditional Use Permit Application No.3700

A Conditional Use Permit Application No. 3700 and Initial Study No. 8022 have been approved by Fresno County for the development of an Agricultural Commercial Center on a 3.28-acre parcel located at the southeast corner of W. Mountain View Avenue and S. Highland Avenue in the AE-20 Exclusive Agricultural Zone District, near Selma, California, with a ZIP code of 93662. The project includes the construction and operation of a 7,058 square-foot facility combining a convenience store and restaurant, along with truck and automobile fueling islands. The approval was contingent upon the preparation and adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act, which concluded that all significant environmental impacts—including those related to aesthetics, air quality, noise, transportation, biological resources, cultural resources, and hydrology—have been adequately mitigated through specific measures. The applicant, Narinder Sahota, submitted the application and supporting environmental documentation, which were reviewed and approved by the Fresno County Department of Public Works and Planning, with the final determination issued on July 24, 2025, and the Notice of Determination filed on August 20, 2025. The project site is identified by APN 393-101-34S, and physical submissions were required to be delivered to the Fresno County Clerk’s Office at 2221 Kern Street, Fresno, with supplemental copies accepted by the Department of Public Works and Planning at 2220 Tulare Street, Suite A. There is no contract value, pricing structure, or federal acquisition regulation (FAR) content associated with this action, as it is a local land-use and environmental review process under CEQA rather than a federal procurement. The primary point of contact for administrative inquiries is Jeremy Shaw, Planner at Fresno County, reachable at (559) 600-4207. No federal contracting mechanisms, payment systems, invoice instructions, accounting codes, contractor representations, or performance metrics typical of government contracts are present in the record.
