Zone Variance No., PZV 25-029 and Tentative Parcel Map No., PPM 25-019 – Strable

Zone Variance No. PZV 25-029 and Tentative Parcel Map No. PPM 25-019 involve the division of an approximately 7.41-acre parcel located at 31951 Road 166, east of Visalia, in Tulare County, California. The project aims to divide the existing land into four separate parcels: Proposed Parcel 1 at 2.06 acres, Proposed Parcel 2 at 1.77 acres, Proposed Parcel 3 at 1.79 acres, and Proposed Parcel 4 at 1.79 acres. Because the property is situated within the AE-20 Exclusive Agricultural Zone, which typically requires a 20-acre minimum, the zone variance is specifically required to allow for the creation of parcels smaller than this minimum acreage. The project is managed by the Tulare County Resource Management Agency and is being pursued by the applicant, Nate Strable. It is governed by the Tulare County Zoning Ordinance and the Tulare County General Plan. A Notice of Exemption was issued on August 12, 2026, citing CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 regarding the new construction or conversion of small structures as the basis for the exemption. Key personnel overseeing the project include Chief Planner Gary Mills, Environmental Planner Jessica Wills, and Project Planner Russell Kashiwa.
