Special Use Permit PSP 26-012, issued by the County of Tulare, authorizes the installation of a 15,000-gallon above-ground steel fuel tank at the Sierra Mini Mart, an existing convenience store and Shell gas station. Located at 23290 Avenue 95, Terra Bella, California, the project site is situated within the Terra Bella Urban Development Boundaries in a General Commercial zone with a Mixed Use overlay. The primary objective of this permit is to enable the addition of new diesel service to the existing facility for the benefit of the property owner. The project is managed by the Tulare County Resource Management Agency, with key administrative oversight provided by Chief Planner Gary Mills, Environmental Planner Jessica Wills, and Project Planner Nebeyu Menkir. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project is classified as categorically exempt under Title 14, Cal. Code Regulations Section 15303, Class 3, as it involves the installation of small equipment without expanding the current use of the site or causing significant environmental impact. The permit was formally signed by the lead agency on June 10, 2026.
