Tulare County Planning Commission approves four tentative parcel maps unanimously

The Tulare County Planning Commission unanimously approved four tentative parcel maps at its May 13 meeting.

Commissioner Aleman moved to approve Tentative Parcel Map PPM26‑004, citing a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Title 14 guidance; the motion was seconded and carried 6‑0. The commission then approved PPM26‑005 (with a requested final map waiver), PPM26‑007 and PPM26‑009 by identical 6‑0 tallies.

The actions were taken as part of the agenda’s parcel‑map public hearing, which the chair described as bundled for efficiency unless an item is pulled for separate discussion. Chair Dennis Lehman announced the vote totals after each roll call: “We have 6 yes, 0 no, and 0 abstentions.”

The consent calendar that opened the meeting also passed on a single motion and voice vote, 6‑0.

What happened next: the commission moved on to a separate special use permit (PSP26007) and a director’s report.
