Use Permit Application No. PLN2022-0097 – Pernsteiner and Sons Fabrication, Inc.

An application for a use permit has been submitted to permit an agricultural equipment repair business on a 19.40± acre parcel located at 712 W Harding Road in Turlock, California, within the General Agriculture (A-2-40) zoning district. The applicant, Jesse Pernsteiner of Pernsteiner and Sons Fabrication, Inc., sought approval for commercial repair operations under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which was satisfied through the preparation of a Negative Declaration confirming no significant environmental impact. The permit application, identified as PLN2022-0097, was approved on August 22, 2025, with a Notice of Determination issued the same day. Environmental compliance required the payment of a $2,968.75 filing fee to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and a $57 county documentary transfer fee, both supported by official cash receipts submitted as part of the filing. Monthly reporting obligations were imposed to submit copies of all environmental documentation and fee receipts to the state, with records to be retained for a minimum of 12 months. The applicant must adhere to the formatting and submission standards outlined in Title 14, Section 753.5 of the California Code of Regulations. No federal procurement structures, contract clauses, or acquisition regulations apply; this is a purely local land use matter administered by the Stanislaus County Planning Commission. The sole point of contact for administrative review is the County’s Senior Planner, Jeremy Ballard, and all submissions must be physically delivered to the Planning and Community Development office in Modesto. Performance is limited to land use authorization with no technical specifications or operational performance metrics defined. The facility will operate at the specified parcel, with no delivery schedules, invoicing protocols, or government contracting mechanisms involved.
