California Metals Services Recycling Center / PL25-0173 & PL25-0154

The project involves a minor modification to a previously approved Major Conditional Use Permit at the California Metals Services Recycling Center located at 1416 and 1428 W Mission Road in Escondido, California, to replace an existing 8-foot concrete masonry wall with an 8-foot wrought iron semi-opaque fence and matching gates, accompanied by supplemental landscaping to improve visual screening and site aesthetics. This change is authorized under Section 33-1202(c)(8) of the Escondido Zoning Code, which governs minor modifications to conditional use permits, and is categorized as exempt under CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3) due to its limited scope on a previously developed, non-environmentally sensitive site without expansion of operations or impact on public services. The modification aims to enhance the frontage appearance while maintaining functional screening of recycling activities. Project approval is overseen by the City of Escondido Planning Division, with Robert Chavez identified as the applicant and primary point of contact for the recycling center, and Greg Mattson serving as the City’s Contract Planner. No contract value, pricing, or federal procurement elements such as FAR clauses, payment terms, delivery schedules, invoicing systems, or socioeconomic certifications are applicable, as this is a local land use and zoning approval process rather than a federally funded or governed procurement. The project identifiers PL25-0173 and PL25-0154 reference the current permitting action, which modifies the earlier permit PL23-0340, and the posting date of July 25, 2025, indicates the notice of this planning decision. The performance location is clearly defined, but no formal contract administration roles such as COR, COTR, or PCO are designated, and no federal acquisition system components like UEI, CAGE, WAWF, or AAC codes are involved.
