The Tulare Planning Commission on Jan. 13 approved a conditional use permit allowing a stationary mobile vending vehicle to operate at 330 West Inyo Avenue.
Staff told the commission the application, submitted by Ada Sanchez, seeks renewal of Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-21 to continue operating a self-contained mobile vending truck that includes refrigeration, cooking and food-preparation areas. The applicant proposed operating Monday–Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Staff said the project is categorically exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Section 15304(e).
The commission adopted a condition of approval requiring the applicant to pay for and schedule fire and building inspections prior to operating inside the vacant building on the site; staff said the inspections must be scheduled within 30 days. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about use of the vacant indoor space for seating and restroom access; staff confirmed the building formerly housed a party-supply store and that the requested dine‑in use would be a change of use requiring inspections.
A motion to adopt the resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-21 passed on a roll call vote with Commissioners Lehi, Henard, Guerrero, Vice Chair Miller and Chair Miguel voting aye. The permit passed subject to the conditions listed in the staff report, including the pre-operation inspections.
The commission took no public testimony on the item and the staff presentation concluded before commissioners posed follow-up questions.
