Zone Variance & Tentative Parcel Map Nos. PZV 25-036 & PPM 25-028; respectively

The project, titled Zone Variance and Tentative Parcel Map Nos. PZV 25-036 and PPM 25-028, involves the division of 124.76 acres located at 1520 E. Success Dr., Porterville, California, within Tulare County. The applicant, Clyde Joseph Quillin, is requesting to split the land into two distinct parcels: an 8.16-acre homesite and a 116.93-acre agricultural parcel. This action requires a Final Map and must comply with the AE-40 Exclusive Agricultural zone, which maintains a 40-acre minimum, as well as the Rural Valley Lands Plan under the Valley Agriculture land use designation. The County of Tulare, acting as the lead agency through the Resource Management Agency, has issued a Notice of Exemption dated October 8, 2025. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1 for existing facilities, as no physical changes are planned for the site, and Class 3 for the new construction or conversion of small structures, as the resulting vacant parcels would permit new construction under the Tulare County Zoning Ordinance. Key administrative contacts for the project include Chief Planner Gary Mills, Environmental Planner Jessica Wills, and Project Planner Emily Gage.
