Minor Modification No. MIM 25-038, Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless has submitted Minor Modification No. MIM 25-038 to update the site plan for an existing telecommunications wireless facility located at 8836 Road 128, Pixley, California, within the AE-40 Exclusive Agriculture zoning district under the Rural Valley Lands Plan. The modification authorizes the installation of a shade structure over pre-existing ground-mounted equipment, with no new construction, expansion, or alteration to the facility beyond this ancillary improvement. The project has been determined eligible for a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 3 categorical exemption, as it involves the construction of a small structure on an already approved site under Special Use Permit No. 18-099 and is consistent with the 2019 Negative Declaration. No federal acquisition regulations apply, as this is a local government environmental permitting action rather than a federal contract. No pricing, payment terms, contracting officer details, or federal procurement clauses are included, and the document serves solely as a notice of environmental exemption. The Tulare County Resource Management Agency, through its Chief Planner Gary Mills and Environmental Planner Jessica Wills, is the lead agency overseeing approval, with project planning handled by Brandy Villarreal. Submission of supporting materials occurred through county channels, and no formal delivery schedule, invoice requirements, or acceptance criteria are established beyond regulatory approval. The project does not require competitive bidding, labor certifications, socioeconomic disclosures, or federal reporting obligations, and its sole purpose is to obtain local environmental exemption for an infrastructural update deemed to have no significant environmental impact.
