PUBLIC
HEARING: Request from Resource Management Agency to certify that it
has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Addendum to the
Final Environmental Impact Report prepared for the 1996 Poplar-Cotton Center
Community Plan for the proposed Change of Zone PZ 08-009 from the AE-20 (Exclusive
Agricultural-20 acre minimum) Zone to the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) Zone on a
2.3-acre portion of a 40-acre parcel located on the west side of Road 192
(Mountain View Drive), approximately 1,500 feet north of Avenue 152 in Cotton
Center, together with any comments received during the public review process,
in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and the State
Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act
of 1970, prior to taking action on the Change of Zone. Find there is no substantial evidence that
said Change of Zone will have a significant effect on the environment and
determine that the Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report prepared
for the 1996 Poplar-Cotton Center Community Plan reflects the independent
judgment of the County and has been completed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act and the State Guidelines for the implementation of
the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended. Adopt the findings for approval for the
Change of Zone, as set forth in Planning Commission Resolution No. 8389. Waive the final reading and adopt an
amendment to Ordinance No. 352 of the Tulare County Zoning Ordinance. Direct the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to
publish the adopted Ordinance and return the signed Notice of Determination to
the Resource Management Agency.
