Special Use Permit No. PSP 25-090

Darren Vanden Berge has applied for Special Use Permit No. PSP 25-090 to establish an Agricultural Service Establishment on a 20-acre property located at 6111 Avenue 252 in Tulare, California, within the AE-40 Exclusive Agricultural Zone. The proposed facility will store pre-packaged agricultural chemicals exclusively, with no intentions to manufacture, repack, or distribute bulk products. The project relies on a CEQA Class 1 exemption under Section 15301, which categorizes the activity as the continued use of an existing facility without expansion or change in land use. The lead agency overseeing the permit is Tulare County’s Resource Management Agency, with key personnel including Gary Mills, Jessica Wills, and Jose Saenz handling planning and environmental compliance. The application is not a federal procurement contract, and as such, no Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, pricing data, line items, contract values, invoicing details, or federal certifications apply. No formal delivery schedules, packaging standards, inspection protocols, or performance metrics are specified beyond the operational parameters of storage within the existing structures on the property. The permit process is governed entirely by local zoning regulations and California environmental law, with no binding financial terms, payment offices, contracting officer roles, or award evaluation criteria present. The application was posted on January 16, 2026, and submitted through Tulare County’s administrative channels without reliance on federal systems or documentation formats.
