3 issues in development with medium priority
D.R. Horton annexation and Clements Ranch subdivision
The council finalized prezoning 78 acres at Lovers Lane and Caldwell for a mix of single-family and multifamily housing, plus updated resolutions for the 292-lot Clements Ranch map after upholding an appeal.
Tulare County EDC membership
The council debated whether ten years of EDC dues have produced results. A 4-1 vote paid the half-year dues anyway, betting on a reorganization focused on industrial development along the Highway 99 corridor.
Small and simple map streamlining ordinance
A new ordinance would let subdivisions of up to 160 lots be approved administratively instead of by the Planning Commission, cutting time and cost for simple, conforming maps.
