Tentative Parcel Map No., PZV 25-054 and PPM 25-053 - Espinoza

The Espinoza project, managed by the County of Tulare, involves Tentative Parcel Map No. PPM 25-053 and Zone Variance No. PZV 25-054. The objective is to divide an existing 2.01-acre parcel, located on the north side of Avenue 182 and approximately 517 feet west of Road 228 south of Strathmore (APN: 243-090-094), into two separate parcels of approximately 1.01 acres each. Because the property is situated within the AE-20 Exclusive Agricultural Zone, which requires a 20-acre minimum, Zone Variance No. PZV 25-054 is utilized to permit the creation of parcels smaller than the minimum required acreage. The project also includes a final map waiver. The project is consistent with the Tulare County Zoning Ordinance and General Plan policies. It has been granted a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, as it pertains to existing facilities with residences dating from 2010 and 2022. The lead agency for this action is the County of Tulare Resource Management Agency, with Freddie Espinoza as the project applicant and Gary Mills, Jessica Wills, and Russell Kashiwa serving as the primary planning contacts.
