Coastal Development Permit and Minor Exception for the construction of a single-family residence located at 2800 Ocean Drive

The project at 2800 Ocean Drive in Manhattan Beach, California, involves the construction of a 1,478 square foot single-family residence within the High-Density Residential (RH) Zoning District, requiring a Coastal Development Permit and a Minor Exception due to the reduction in open space below the minimum local requirement. The site lies within the appealable portion of the Coastal Zone, subjecting the project to both municipal zoning regulations and coastal land use oversight. The project has been determined eligible for a categorical exemption under CEQA Class 3, Section 15303, which permits minor residential construction without further environmental review, streamlining the approval process. The applicant is Don E. Murphy, Trustee of the DJM Family Trust, and the permit is being processed by the City of Manhattan Beach, Community Development Department, with Tari Kuvhenguhwa, Associate Planner, designated as the primary point of contact. The approval is governed by Resolution No. 25-08, issued on July 23, 2025, and publicly posted on July 24, 2025. While no pricing, payment terms, or federal contract clauses apply due to the administrative nature of the permit, the project must comply with local zoning standards and coastal regulations. Submissions for public review must be filed electronically through the CEQAnet Web Portal and mailed to the Los Angeles County Clerk at P.O. Box 1208, Norwalk, CA 90651-1208. The place of performance is clearly defined as 2800 Ocean Drive, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266. No federal procurement elements such as FAR clauses, contract types, evaluation factors, payment offices, or technical specifications are applicable, as this is a local land use approval rather than a federal acquisition. The process relies on environmental exemptions and administrative permitting under state and local law, with no competitive bidding or cost-based award criteria involved.
