Conditional Use Permit 2025-007

The project involves amending the use schedule of Building J at 1295 Shaw Avenue in Clovis, California, to permit medical office uses through the adoption of a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant, Richard Hutton, and the owner, Clovis IA LLC, are seeking to reclassify the existing structure’s use without significant physical changes, expansion, or new construction, aligning with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, which authorizes exemptions for minor alterations to existing facilities with negligible environmental impact. The City of Clovis, as the lead agency, is responsible for determining eligibility for the exemption and issuing the permit, based on an evaluation that confirms no exceptions under CEQA Section 15300.2 apply, such as impacts on historical resources or cumulative environmental effects. All documentation and review are managed by the City’s Planning and Development Services, with primary contact Eric Garcia overseeing the administrative process. There is no federal contracting framework applicable to this action, as it is entirely a local land use and environmental compliance matter under state law, with no procurement, cost, pricing, delivery, or payment terms identified. No contract type, federal acquisition regulation clauses, solicitation numbers, invoicing methods, or government accounting codes are involved. The process relies on regulatory compliance rather than competitive bidding or commercial contracting practices. The project’s performance location is strictly defined as the property at 1295 Shaw Avenue, Clovis, CA 93612, and no formal inspection criteria, quality standards, or acceptance procedures beyond the environmental determination are specified. Submissions are handled through the City’s planning department and Fresno County Clerk’s office, with no electronic portal or standardized format required, reflecting a local administrative process focused solely on zoning and environmental exemptions.
