9459 Sunland Boulevard ZA-2024-7343-ZV

The project at 9459 Sunland Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, seeks a variance to repurpose existing structures into a private event and banquet hall without new construction or major exterior changes. Administered by the City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning, the initiative relies on a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 3 categorical exemption, which applies to minor alterations of existing buildings within a zoned residential area, provided no significant environmental impacts occur. The exemption is supported by a determination that the project meets criteria such as no expansion beyond existing footprints, absence of hazardous materials, and compliance with local fire hazard, liquefaction, and grading regulatory measures. The applicant, Nancy Kwong, with representation from Crest Real Estate’s Nick Leathers, affirms that none of the six CEQA exceptions—such as cumulative impacts, scenic highway effects, or proximity to historical resources—apply, enabling the exemption to proceed without a full environmental impact report. No formal contract value, pricing, or payment details are included, as the documentation pertains solely to regulatory compliance rather than a federal procurement. Performance will occur at the specified location in ZIP code 91352, with oversight and administrative acceptance handled by the City of Los Angeles and formally recorded by the Los Angeles County Clerk. The process is paper-based, requiring submission of a certified Notice of Exemption to a designated P.O. Box in Norwalk, with no electronic or deadline specifications provided. There are no federal contract clauses, acquisition codes, contracting officer details, or socioeconomic certifications involved, as this is a local land use permitting action governed entirely by municipal and state environmental regulations.
