CDP26-015

The City of Morro Bay has issued Administrative Coastal Development Permit CDP26-015 for the removal of 14 hazardous trees at 501 Sequoia Street due to root structure damage caused by imminent building replacements, with a requirement to replace them with 30 Monterey Cypress trees as ecological mitigation. The project is located in the PF zoning district and is not subject to Coastal Appeals Jurisdiction. It is classified as a ministerial action eligible for a categorical exemption under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Sections 21080(b)(1) and 15268, meaning no competitive procurement or formal evaluation process was required. No federal acquisition regulations (FAR) clauses, contracting officer roles, payment or invoicing procedures, or pricing details are included, as this is a local environmental permit rather than a federal contract. The City of Morro Bay serves as the lead agency, with Sam Thome, Community Development Intern, listed as the primary point of contact and Chris Peoples as the Project Manager. The place of performance is clearly identified as 501 Sequoia Street, Morro Bay, CA 93442, with no packaging, delivery, inspection, or acceptance standards specified beyond compliance with local ordinances and the mandated tree replacement. No contract value is available, as the document is a forecast-type notice and lacks line items, cost estimates, or financial terms. The only formal certification is the CEQA exemption notice signed on July 17, 2026, affirming the project qualifies for environmental exemption under state law.
