Oakmore Ranch Project

Oakmore Ranch Project

The proposed project consists of approximately 235 acres located in unincorporated Tulare County, located immediately east of Oakmore Street, south of State Route 137 (Tulare Avenue) and north of Avenue 228. The project area is immediately adjacent to the existing City of Tulare city limit boundary to the west and is within the City of Tulare’s adopted Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Plan Area. The site is bordered by: • Chandler Grove Master Plan to the south • Mission Oak High School to the southwest • College of the Sequoias (COS) Tulare Campus to the south • Agricultural and rural residential uses to the north and east See Figure 1 (Regional Location and Vicinity Map) and Figure 2 (Annexation Boundary Map). The proposed project consists of the annexation, pre zoning, and amendment of the General Plan land use designation for the approximately 235 acre Oakmore Ranch planning area. The project would bring the planning area into the City of Tulare’s jurisdiction and establish land use and circulation frameworks consistent with the City’s long range planning documents, including the North COS TOD Plan Area. No specific development project is proposed for approval as part of this action. The EIR will evaluate the annexation and associated land use designations at a programmatic level, with the understanding that future development within the planning area will require separate, project level CEQA review once detailed site plans, phasing, and infrastructure designs are available.
