CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP-2025-0002, A REQUEST BY TEMPLE JUDEA OF LAGUNA HILLS FOR APPROVAL OF A SMALL GROUP LEARNING AND TUTORING SERVICES USE

The City of Laguna Woods, California, has approved Conditional Use Permit CUP-2025-0002 to authorize small group learning and tutoring services at 24512 Moulton Parkway, located on property owned by Temple Judea of Laguna Hills Creative STEAM. This permit amends the existing Conditional Permit CP-1531 and allows the use of existing facilities for educational purposes without new construction, physical expansion, or infrastructure changes. The action is deemed categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, specifically Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15301, which apply to minor alterations to existing structures with negligible environmental impact. The project does not involve increased occupancy, new equipment, or changes to the building footprint, and its operation remains consistent with the prior approved use of the premises. Approval was granted following adoption of Resolution No. 25-37 on November 19, 2025, with public notice issued on November 24, 2025. The City of Laguna Woods serves as the approving authority, with no federal procurement elements present; the process is governed solely by state and local land use regulations, not federal acquisition rules. No contract value, pricing, payment terms, or federal contract clauses apply, as this is an administrative land-use permit determination, not a procurement or service contract. Inspection and acceptance occur at the project site, with compliance verified through adherence to CEQA exemption criteria rather than technical or performance standards. The applicant is not required to submit federal representations, certifications, or socioeconomic data, and no contracting officer, COR, or COTR roles are involved. The process is administrative and regulatory, focused on ensuring compliance with local zoning and environmental exemption guidelines.
