Colvard Accessory Structure Planned Development (PD)

The project pertains to a Planned Development Permit for the construction of a 1,296 square foot wood-frame agricultural barn with a pole barn foundation and the formal approval of an existing 304-square-foot unpermitted shed on a property located at 15315 Ojai Santa Paula Road in Ventura County, California, within the Habitat Connectivity Wildlife Corridor overlay zone. The structures are situated near Sisar Creek and 90 feet from a mapped wetland, with construction restricted to previously disturbed areas and a mandatory buffer to protect the wetland. No plumbing or electrical systems are part of the new barn, and the site will be served by an onsite well for water and a septic system managed by the Ventura County Regional Sanitation District, accessed via a private driveway connecting to Santa Paula Ojai Road. The project has been classified under CEQA categorical exemptions 15303 and 15311, allowing it to proceed without a full environmental impact report due to its small scale and nature as an accessory structure to a single-family residence. Approval was granted on September 23, 2025, and the application was submitted under Permit Case PL23-0147. The administrative process is led by the Ventura County Planning Division, with Aubrie Richardson serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and submissions. The application was accompanied by a Notice of Exemption and required payment of a $50 county documentary fee, but no federal contract elements such as CLINs, FAR clauses, contract types, pricing tables, acceptance criteria, delivery schedules, or contractor representations are present. The documents reflect a local land use entitlement process rather than a federal procurement agreement, and therefore contain no information concerning contract administration, payment offices, accounting codes, inspection protocols, or technical specifications typically associated with government contracts. All compliance is tied to California Environmental Quality Act guidelines and Ventura County land use regulations, with no incorporation of federal procurement standards, packaging requirements, or solicitation instructions beyond the submission of supporting documents via email or in person to the County’s Resource Management Agency.
