Variance 0031-26

Variance 0031-26 is a request by the City of Hanford to deviate from Section 17.38.060 of the Hanford Municipal Code to facilitate the expansion of the Kings Area Regional Transit (KART) bus facility located at 629 W. Davis St. in the PF Public Facilities zone district. The project seeks a variance to allow for the installation of electrical infrastructure, solar canopy structures, and bus parking spaces, as well as to ensure proper bus maneuverability within the required front setback area. The project is being carried out by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The City of Hanford Planning Division has approved the project, which is exempt from environmental review under Section 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines as it involves the construction of small structures and accessory service equipment. Administrative oversight is managed by the City of Hanford, with key points of contact including Assistant Planner Maddison Faria and Development Services Technician Diana Black. A filing fee of 74.00 dollars was processed on May 26, 2026, to finalize the Notice of Exemption.
