4745 Carpinteria Avenue Mixed Use Project Revision

The 4745 Carpinteria Avenue Mixed Use Project Revision involves a minor land-use modification to convert 2,807 square feet of second-floor general commercial leasable area into a six-room hotel. The conversion consists of one one-bedroom unit totaling 691 square feet and five studio units totaling 2,116 square feet. The project requires no exterior modifications or structural alterations and is located in Carpinteria, California. The City of Carpinteria serves as the lead agency for the project, with Principal Planner Bret McNulty as the primary contact and Justin Klentner as the project manager. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 236220 and has been granted a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15332 for In-fill Development Projects. This exemption is based on the project's consistency with local plans and its location within urbanized limits on a site with no protected species habitat. The project is governed by the City of Carpinteria General Plan and local zoning codes rather than federal acquisition regulations.
