5537 West Hollywood Boulevard (ENV-2025-2185-CE)

The project at 5537 West Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, involves the conversion of an existing 1,471 square-foot retail space into a coffee shop, qualified as a minor alteration under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, which grants a categorical exemption due to no substantial environmental impact. The change of use requires no structural expansion or new construction, and the project complies with the city’s specific plan and land use regulations. The applicant, Memorylook (Connor Choi), with ownership held by Lari Gershwin, LLC, and represented by Jae Jung of Inex Design Studio, has certified that none of the exceptions under CEQA Section 15300.2 apply, ensuring eligibility for the exemption. The City of Los Angeles, Department of City Planning, serves as the lead agency and has issued the environmental notice on August 20, 2025, with a revised date of January 30, 2025, and submitted the documentation to the Los Angeles County Clerk/Recorder for public record. No federal procurement elements are present; there is no contract value, pricing, or FAR clauses, as this is solely a state environmental compliance notice. Contact for the project is Yamillet Brizuela, Planning Associate, with no designated contracting officer, COR, COTR, or payment office identified. No packaging, delivery, inspection, or acceptance criteria are formally specified, as the scope pertains to internal space conversion rather than the delivery of goods or services. Submission of the exemption notice was required via physical mail to a designated county address, with no electronic portal or deadline indicated beyond the posting date. No socioeconomic certifications, UEI, CAGE codes, or federal registration details are included, as the process is entirely under state environmental law and not subject to federal acquisition regulations.
