Acquisition of the Property at 7891 Whitaker Street, Buena Park

The City of Buena Park is pursuing the acquisition of the property located at 7891 Whitaker Street for public purposes, with the intent to abate nuisance conditions by demolishing existing non-conforming structures and eliminating unlawful land uses. This action aligns with the goals of the Auto Center Specific Plan and the City’s General Plan, aiming to facilitate future infill development that complies with municipal zoning and land use regulations. The City may proceed through negotiated acquisition or, if necessary, the exercise of eminent domain authority, and the project qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act, including sections 15301(i), 15321, and 15332, which support the elimination of outdated structures and the reestablishment of lawful, plan-conforming land use. No formal competitive solicitation exists; the process is administrative and driven by local planning and environmental compliance rather than procurement rules. All activities, including acquisition, demolition, and site clearance, are confined to the property at 7891 Whitaker Street in Buena Park, California, with the City serving as the lead agency responsible for inspection, acceptance, and enforcement of regulatory compliance. The primary point of contact is Matt Foulkes, Community and Economic Development Director, who oversees the project and can be reached via phone or email. There is no identified contract value, payment office, accounting codes, or invoicing mechanism, as this is not a federally regulated procurement under the FAR. Instead, it is a public land use initiative grounded in state environmental law and local planning statutes, with no requirement for contractor representations, socioeconomic certifications, or federal compliance documentation such as UEI or CAGE codes. No schedule, delivery terms, or performance metrics are defined beyond the overarching objective of securing title and removing non-conforming uses to achieve compliance with the City’s development vision.
