Administrative Pian Review-Woolsey Fire No. 22—02_3L Coastai Development Permit Exemption No. 25-060 and Categoricai Exemption No. 25-117

The project involves the approval of a pre-fabricated pool and deck installation at 5709 Busch Drive in Malibu, California, under a categorical exemption provided by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15303(e), which exempts small structures from full environmental review. The City of Malibu is the approving agency, having signed the exemption notice on September 5, 2025, and publicly posted the forecast on October 6, 2025. The applicant, Studio N34 acting for God Only Knows LLC, is seeking administrative clearance for this minor residential improvement, with no detailed specifications, cost estimates, or delivery schedules provided. The process is governed solely by state environmental regulations, and no federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, or procurement standards apply. There is no solicitation number, contract value, payment details, or invoicing system specified, and no federal contract administration roles such as COR, COTR, or PCO are designated. The project relies entirely on CEQA exemptions without referencing any technical building codes, quality standards, or inspection protocols beyond the environmental determination. No formal attachments, evaluation factors, representations, certifications, or special requirements—including security clearances, personnel qualifications, or contract options—are included. Submission appears to be handled through a state-mandated paper-based Notice of Exemption form filed with the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento, though no deadlines or electronic submission methods are outlined. The city’s Administrative Assistant and Community Development Director serve as primary points of contact, but the process remains administrative in nature, focused on verifying compliance with CEQA categorical exemption criteria rather than establishing a traditional procurement or construction contract with performance metrics, pricing, or federal oversight.
