Zone Variance No. PZV 26-013

Deer Creek Pistachio, LLC is seeking approval for a monument sign measuring approximately 70 square feet to be installed on its property housing the Setton Farms Facility in Tulare County, California. The sign is intended to serve the facility and must comply with zoning requirements despite being placed within both the 25-foot front yard setback and the stricter 50-foot building line setback from the centerline of the right-of-way, which necessitates a variance due to the restricted location. The property falls under the AE-40 zoning classification, which mandates a minimum 40-acre parcel size and restricts non-agricultural uses, though the sign is permissible as an auxiliary feature tied to the facility’s operational identity. The request is formally documented under Zone Variance No. PZV 26-013 and has been posted for public notice, with the Tulare County planning department overseeing the review process. Key contacts include Gary Mills, Jessica Wills, and Jose Saenz from the county’s planning and environmental teams, while Deer Creek Pistachio, LLC is listed as the official project applicant. The application can be viewed online through the state’s CEQA Net system.
