Tentative Subdivision Map No. TSM 25-003, Castlewood Development

The project involves a minor revision to Tentative Tract Map No. 834, designated as Tentative Subdivision Map No. TSM 25-003, covering approximately 46.17 acres within the PD-C-3-SC Planned Development zone in the Visalia Urban Area Boundary under a Service Commercial land use designation. This action pertains to the removal of two previously imposed Conditions of Approval from the original tract map, with no expansion of development intensity, land use changes, or new construction proposed. The revision qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15303 (Class 3) and the Common Sense Rule (15061(b)(3)) because it involves only administrative adjustments and poses no significant environmental impact, relying on the already certified Final Environmental Impact Report dated December 15, 2020, for prior environmental analysis. The applicant is Castlewood Development, and oversight is conducted by Tulare County’s Resource Management Agency, with primary contacts including Gary Mills, Chief Planner, Jessica Wills, Environmental Planner, and David Alexander, Project Planner. The notice was posted on August 28, 2025, with a signed approval date of August 27, 2024, reflecting the administrative timeline for exemption approval rather than a procurement process. There is no contractual value, line-item pricing, federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses, or procurement mechanisms associated with this submission, as it is a land use and environmental compliance action governed entirely by state and local planning law. No formal delivery schedules, payment instructions, inspection protocols, packaging requirements, or contractor representations are part of this notice, nor are there any federal funding, accounting codes, or invoicing systems engaged. All activities are confined to the approval of a land use adjustment under CEQA, with submissions directed to Tulare County's Resource Management Agency in Visalia and the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation in Sacramento via mail or email.
