The Clovis Planning Commission voted 3-2 to approve a resolution recommending the Clovis City Council decline to certify several items needed to move forward with Wilson Home’s new mega-development north of Clovis. The proposed project is not located within the city’s existing Sphere of Influence (SOI), and will require an SOI expansion and annexation into the city before development can proceed. Last year, Wilson Homes said they will be working with environmental authorities on how to mitigate the issue of tiger salamanders living in the project area, although they didn’t yet know what the mitigation would be. However, no mitigation measures related to the endangered California tiger salamander were mentioned during the meeting or outlined in any staff reports.
