Document Description
Tulare County has identified and developed a project within Matheny Tract for submittal of application for funding through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Community Change Grant Program. The project includes the construction of the North Matheny Complete Street proposal, which will include curb, gutter, and sidewalks that adhere to the American Disabilities Accessibility (ADA) Compliance Act. This will allow for improved stormwater drainage, community connectivity, and promotion of Active Transportation (walking, biking, and public transit). The project also includes the undergrounding of the Tulare Irrigation District canal that traverses the community along Canal Street. This will be accomplished through an irrigation pipe that will flow into the nearby District Basin. A decomposed granite walkway on top of the undergrounded canal will provide a community path for exercise and recreation. This project component will also reduce stormwater and flood risk during precipitous weather.
A Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report (RDEIR) for the Tulare County 2030 General Plan Update (SCH# 2006014462) adopted by the Tulare County Board of Supervisors in August 2012. The Tulare County Board of Supervisors approved General Plan Initiation GPI 17-00 I to prepare a General Plan Amendment for Unincorporated Community Plans, Hamlet Plans, and Legacy Plans. An Addendum to the RDEIR was prepared to address the newly prepared Hamlet and Legacy Plans, collectively identified as General Plan Amendment GPA 17-035. The Matheny Tract Legacy Plan, General Plan Amendment GPA 174-29 was one of the 16 communities included in GPA 17-035. The Matheny Tract Legacy Plan consists of multiple components., including the Matheny Tract Complete Streets Plan. The Addendum for the Hamlet and Legacy Plans was adopted by the Tulare County Board of Supervisors on December 5, 2017. The project is consistent with the goals and policies set forth in the 2030 General Plan Update, Matheny Tract Legacy Plan, and the Matheny Tract Complete Streets Plan. The project must comply with the applicable mitigation measures identified in the Mitigation and Monitoring Report (MMRP) of the RDEIR.
