CDVR24-01060 - 3565 Willow Road Variance

Project CDVR24-01060 involves a Variance Permit and Small Lot Design Review for a residential property located at 3565 Willow Road, Bethel Island, California. The applicant, George Navarro, sought approval to construct a detached garage with a total area of 750 square feet and a height of 15 feet 5 inches, both of which exceed the local zoning maximums of 500 square feet and 15 feet, respectively. The project was managed by the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development, with Allison Seoane serving as the primary point of contact. The request for the variance permit was denied by the County Planning Commission on July 23, 2025. Following this decision, a Notice of Exemption was filed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(4), which exempts projects that have been rejected or disapproved by a public agency. Because the project was denied, there are no associated contract values, performance schedules, or procurement clauses, as the action was a regulatory permit determination rather than a formal service or supply contract.
