NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN 2030 UPDATE, PROPOSED FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, AND PROPOSED
CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Tulare County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, October 19, 2011,
at 9:00 A.M., or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard, in the Chambers of the Board of Supervisors, Administration
Building, County Civic Center, 2800 West Burrel, Visalia, California. The hearing will pertain to the proposed General Plan
2030 Update (project), associated proposed Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), and the proposed Climate Action Plan.
General Plan 2030 Update
The Tulare County General Plan is a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the unincorporated areas of Tulare County, excluding state and federal lands. The County’s General Plan consists of development policies that set forth objectives, principles and standards that guide future land use decisions within the County of Tulare. The general plan and its maps, diagrams, and development policies form the basis for the County’s zoning, subdivision, and public works actions. The proposed Tulare County General Plan 2030 Update (General Plan Update) amends the existing Tulare County General Plan and is made up of a Part I, Goals and Policies Report, and a Part II, Area Plans.
Proposed Final Environmental Impact Report
The Proposed FEIR for the General Plan 2030 Update (project) was prepared in compliance with the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines
(California Code of Regulations, title 14, §§ 15000, et seq.). The County of Tulare (County) is the Lead Agency for the
environmental review of the proposed project and has the principal responsibility for approving the General Plan 2030 Update.
As described in the CEQA Guidelines §15121(a), an EIR is a public information document that assesses potential environmental
effects of a proposed project, as well as identifies mitigation measures and alternatives to the project that could reduce or
avoid adverse environmental impacts. CEQA requires that state and local government agencies consider the environmental
consequences of plans and projects over which they have discretionary authority. The EIR is an informational document used in
the planning and decision-making process. It is not the purpose of an EIR to recommend either approval or denial of a project.
Proposed Climate Action Plan
A proposed Climate Action Plan has been prepared as an implementation measure of the General Plan Update.
The Climate Action Plan is not a formal part of the General Plan Update but will be considered for approval
subsequent to the adoption of the General Plan Update.
