General Plan AmendmentUnder reviewTown of Traver, Tulare County, California

Traver Ranch Development Project

Tulare County

Description

A huge proposal to build a new community in Traver — housing, reconstructed main street, new water and wastewater systems, parks, and school land. The Board approved the reimbursement agreement for county processing costs; the actual entitlements (general plan amendment, zone change, subdivision map) are still to come with an EIR.

Impact summary

If built, Traver gets its first real infrastructure in decades — new wells, a wastewater plant, storm drains, parks, and a rebuilt main street — plus new homes, retail, and jobs. Groundbreaking could come as soon as this summer.

Traver Ranch Development Project

Santa Lucia Ventures proposes a comprehensive rebuild of Traver with new housing, a reconstructed Merritt Drive, new water wells, a new wastewater treatment plant, roughly 17 acres of parks, and land reserved for school expansion. The developer has held town halls and is voluntarily adding infrastructure the county doesn't require, like storm drains so kids stop walking to school in the mud. The Board approved the reimbursement agreement covering county review costs, and full entitlements will come back through a general plan amendment, zone change, and environmental impact report over the coming year.
