Code Amendment (CA) 25-003, Retail Uses Permitted in Historic Commercial District

The City of San Juan Capistrano is pursuing a code amendment to broaden the retail uses permitted by right within the Historic Commercial District under the Los Rios Specific Plan, identified as Code Amendment (CA) 25-003. This initiative is structured as a planning study and has been determined to be statutorily exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15262, as it involves no physical development and is purely an administrative update to land use regulations. The project is led by Laurel Reimer, Contract Planner, who serves as the primary point of contact, with Dan Almquist listed as the applicant representing 31791 Los Rios Street LLC. The place of performance is clearly established as San Juan Capistrano, California, 92675, with administrative correspondence routed through the Development Services Department at 32400 Paseo Adelanto. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or financial terms have been specified, and the document is classified as a forecast with no solicitation number or formal procurement contract type. There are no specified delivery schedules, invoicing procedures, payment details, or accounting identifiers such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses apply, as this is a local municipal planning action rather than a federal procurement. The project lacks defined deliverables, inspection criteria, quality standards, submission deadlines, or formatted proposal requirements, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status claims are required or provided. No attachments, packaging instructions, or special contract requirements such as key personnel, security clearances, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are outlined. The initiative hinges on internal city planning processes and environmental exemption documentation, with no formal contractor roles or federal compliance obligations established.
