Conditional Use Permit CUP-2023-0004, to allow for outdoor storage and alternative provisions to off-street parking regulations

The City of Laguna Woods approved Conditional Use Permit CUP-2023-0004 via Resolution No. 25-36 to amend the existing CUP-559 for the property located at 23252 Via Campo Verde, Laguna Woods, CA 92637. This permit supports the operations of Saddleback Golf Cars, a retail sales and services business for golf carts and low-speed vehicles. The primary purpose of the amendment is to allow for outdoor storage of merchandise, trailers, and equipment, and to implement alternative provisions for off-street parking regulations, which will result in a reduction of available parking stalls. The scope of work includes the installation of signage, the painting of pavement and curb striping, markings, and legends to improve navigation and public safety, and the addition of a roof over an existing trash enclosure. The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, as it involves minor alterations with no expansion of the building size or change in use. Compliance with the Laguna Woods Municipal Code and Orange County Fire Authority requirements is mandatory, including the maintenance of specific minimum clearances.
