The Porterville Parcel Map Committee on Oct. 29 approved a tentative parcel map (PRC 20250024) to split a developed parcel at 15409 Road 223 into two lots.

Staff reported the site is in the RS‑2 (low‑density residential) zone and that the proposed parcels — Parcel 1 at 4,745 square feet and Parcel 2 at 5,765 square feet — meet the minimum setback and lot‑dimension requirements for the zone. Staff said the split is being processed under the urban lot split provisions of the California Government Code and that the environmental coordinator preliminarily determined the project is exempt from CEQA under the minor land‑division guideline.

During the public hearing staff noted some virtual raised hands appeared to be automated or AI-generated and confirmed no substantive public testimony was received. Committee member Dignam moved to approve the map; member Sanchez seconded, and the committee recorded a unanimous affirmative vote (three ayes). The approval is subject to the conditions listed in the draft resolution and final engineering review before recordation.

What happens next: The applicant should submit final map materials and fees to the engineering division; staff will verify condition compliance and engineering requirements prior to final map approval.
