Minor Modification - MIM 25-027 to PSP 87-107 (PC)

Minor Modification MIM 25-027 to Special Use Permit No. PSP 87-107 (PC) involves the expansion of an existing dairy and feedlot operation located at 13000 Avenue 128 in Tulare County, California. The project site consists of a 150-acre parcel within the AE-40 Exclusive Agricultural Zone, originally approved in 1987 for 2,000 milking stock and 2,850 support stock. The scope of this modification is to add one freestall barn and four future freestall barn structures to the property. The project is managed by the Tulare County Resource Management Agency and is categorized as exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15303(e) for the new construction or conversion of small structures. This exemption is granted because the project does not alter the approved use of the site and remains consistent with the Tulare County General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The primary applicant for this modification is Ron Vander Weerd.
