A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared and a Notice of Determination (NOD) filed on March 28, 2023, for Morgan Convenience Store (with gas station)/Mini– Storage/Service Commercial Uses. The project consists of the land use designation change on approximately 8.46 gross acres, from “Heavy Industrial” to “Service Commercial” and on approximately 5.4 gross acres from “Low-Medium Density” to “Service Commercial” and change the zone districts from AE-20 (Exclusive Agricultural Zone – 20 Acre Minimum) and C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone) to C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) to facilitate the establishment of a convenience store (with gas station), self-storage (mini warehouses), and future service commercial uses. The current project is a tentative parcel map PPM 24-051. The Tulare County Resource Management Agency (RMA) has determined that the components added to the previously approved/adopted Morgan Convenience store (with gas station) Mini-storage, Service Commercial uses project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
