348 North Sycamore Rd. & 351 North Mesa Rd., Pacific Palisades, CA 90402- ZA-2023-5614-CDP-ZAD-ZAA

The project at 348 North Sycamore Road and 351 North Mesa Road in Pacific Palisades, California, involves the demolition of two existing retaining walls and a patio, the construction of a new 190 square-foot swimming pool and a complementary retaining wall ranging in height from 3 to 6 feet, and the grading and removal of approximately 148 cubic yards of earth, all while preserving the structural integrity and continued use of an existing two-story single-family dwelling. The work is situated within the Single Permit Jurisdiction Area of the Coastal Zone and is governed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with categorical exemptions granted under Sections 15301 and 15303 for existing facilities and minor land alterations, respectively. The City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning serves as the lead agency overseeing permitting and compliance, with the property owners, Jason Eric Schiffman and Laura Catherine Roberts, acting as the applicants and responsible parties for implementation, supported by their representative, Chloe Parker of Pacific Crest Consultant. No federal acquisition regulations or contract clauses apply, as this is a state and locally administered environmental permitting process rather than a federal procurement. There is no established contract value, payment structure, or formal delivery schedule, and no federal accounting or invoicing systems are involved. The project was posted as a forecast on August 14, 2025, and environmental documentation, including a certified categorical exemption form, has been submitted for regulatory review, with notices filed through the Los Angeles County Clerk’s office. Inspection and acceptance are expected to occur at the project site under the oversight of city planning staff, though no formal inspection criteria, quality standards, or contracting officer representatives are specified in the available records.
