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

The project involves the subdivision of a 2.01-acre parcel located in the AE-20 Exclusive Agricultural Zone in Tulare County, California, into two equal parcels of 1.01 acres each, as outlined in Tentative Parcel Map No. PPM 25-053. Because the resulting parcels fall below the 20-acre minimum lot size required by the AE-20 zoning designation, a Zone Variance No. PZV 25-054 has been requested to allow the division despite the non-compliance. The applicant, Freddie Espinoza, is the beneficiary of this land use approval, which includes seeking a final map waiver to streamline the approval process. The project is subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review and qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption under Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Section 15301, which applies to the use of existing facilities. The work pertains solely to land use planning and zoning compliance and is not a federal procurement contract; therefore, no Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, contract value, pricing elements, or procurement-specific terms such as payment offices, invoicing systems, or contracting officer designations are applicable. The place of performance is on the north side of Avenue 182, approximately 517 feet west of Road 228, south of Strathmore, with the Assessor’s Parcel Number 243-090-094. Responsibility for review and approval rests with Tulare County’s Resource Management Agency, with primary contacts including the Chief Planner, Environmental Planner, and Project Planner, all reachable through county office contacts in Visalia. No submission deadline, proposal format, or electronic portal is specified, and the posting date of January 16, 2026, serves as the public notice date for the application.
