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

A minor modification to Special Use Permit PSP 87-107 (PC) has been approved to allow the addition of one freestall barn and four future freestall barn structures on a 150-acre dairy and feedlot facility located at 13000 Avenue 128, north of Pixley in Tulare County, California. The original permit, granted in 1987, authorized operations with 2,000 milking stock and 2,850 support stock totaling 3,677 animal units within the AE-40 Exclusive Agricultural Zone. This modification does not alter the approved agricultural use but enhances animal welfare through infrastructure improvements and qualifies for a categorical exemption under California’s Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15303(e) for new construction of small structures. The project is administratively managed by the Tulare County Resource Management Agency, with Gary Mills as Chief Environmental Planner and Michael Washam as Associate Director, and the applicant is Ron Vander Weerd. No federal procurement elements, contract clauses, pricing, or acquisition data are applicable or present, as this is a state-level land use permit modification processed under CEQA rather than a federal contract action. Performance is expected on-site at the identified location in Tulare County, with no defined timeline for construction of the future barns, and no formal delivery schedules, payment terms, invoicing procedures, or federal accounting data are included. The approval is contingent upon compliance with Tulare County zoning ordinances and general plan requirements, with no additional inspection criteria, quality standards, or contracting officer representative roles formally designated beyond the agency's planning staff.
