Minor Modification No. MIM 25-049, Israel Rossiter Construction

Minor Modification No. MIM 25-049 authorizes Israel Rossiter Construction to update the site plan for an existing dairy facility located at 15605 Avenue 208, Strathmore, California, to add a new storage building within the AE-40 Exclusive Agriculture Zone under the Rural Valley Lands Plan. This modification is classified as a ministerial land-use action exempt from full environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically relying on the Common Sense Rule and the categorical exemption for small structures outlined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15303. The project does not alter the fundamental agricultural use of the land and was previously authorized under Special Use Permit No. 21-122. The approval was formally signed by Tulare County’s Chief Environmental Planner on October 30, 2025, and confirmed by the Associate RMA Director on November 6, 2025, with public notice issued on November 7, 2025. No cost estimates, contract pricing, or financial terms are included as this is an environmental exemption notice rather than a procurement contract. The Tulare County Resource Management Agency serves as the lead approving authority, with oversight responsibility held by personnel including Gary Mills, Jessica Wills, and David Alexander. No federal acquisition regulations apply, as there are no federal contract clauses, solicitation numbers, payment terms, invoicing protocols, inspection criteria, or performance metrics specified. The applicant, Israel Rossiter Construction, is not required to provide any certifications, unique entity identifiers, socioeconomic status declarations, or compliance affirmations typically associated with federal procurement. The project’s scope is strictly limited to site plan revision and approval, with no formal delivery schedule, FOB terms, packaging instructions, or construction supervision requirements detailed. All documentation is administrative in nature, focused solely on land use compliance and environmental exemption justification under California state law.
