Special Use Permit PSP 25-066-Geostan

A Special Use Permit, numbered PSP 25-066, has been requested by Geostan Duffin to authorize the storage of agricultural equipment including tractors, tree toppers, brush shredders, brush rakes, trucks, and semi-trucks on a 5.4-acre parcel located at 18411 Road 232 in Porterville, California, within the AE-20 Exclusive Agricultural Zone under the Rural Valley Lands Plan with a Valley Agriculture land use designation. The permit seeks approval for an Agricultural Service Establishment on this property, which is under the jurisdiction of Tulare County, and is being reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act through a categorical exemption listed as Class 1, Section 15301, permitting minor alterations to existing facilities without significant environmental impact. The applicant is the property owner, and the approval authority rests with the County of Tulare’s Resource Management Agency, which acts as the lead agency for environmental compliance and permitting decisions. No federal contracting elements are present in this action; the document is purely a local land use and environmental permitting application, not a procurement or acquisition contract under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. There are no prescribed contract clauses, pricing, payment terms, delivery schedules, or evaluation factors as typically found in federal procurement documents. The point of contact for administrative and planning inquiries includes Gary Mills, Chief Planner, Jessica Wills, Environmental Planner, and Nebeyu Menkir, Project Planner, all affiliated with Tulare County, with the applicant, Geostan Duffin, also listed as a contact. The permit application does not reference any federal agency, contract value, Unique Entity ID, solicitation number, or procurement-related requirements, and all processes and compliance criteria are governed solely by California state law and local zoning regulations. Submission of the application materials is presumed to be directed to the Resource Management Agency in Visalia, though no formal submission guidelines or deadlines are outlined in the available information.
