Special Use Permit No. PSP 26-009 – Flores

Special Use Permit No. PSP 26-009 authorizes Luis Flores to construct one second residence, not exceeding 1,200 square feet, on a 4.91-acre parcel located at 39007 Road 140, Cutler, California (APN 035-160-036). The property is situated within the AE-40 Exclusive Agricultural Zone and the Rural Valley Lands Plan, with a General Plan designation of Valley Agriculture. This permit is specifically for the use of the property owners or their family and does not allow for the expansion of agricultural operations or the existing Employee Housing Program, which currently contains six dwellings. The project is managed by the Tulare County Resource Management Agency and has been granted a categorical exemption from CEQA under Class 3, Section 15301, as the construction of the small structure is not expected to cause significant environmental impacts. Approved work is limited to the residence and necessary utility connections or minor site improvements. The permit was finalized on June 11, 2026, with oversight provided by Chief Planner Gary Mills and Project Planner Brandy Villarreal.
