Conditional Use Permit CUP-2025-0006

Conditional Use Permit CUP-2025-0006, approved by the City of Laguna Woods via Resolution No. 25-33 on October 15, 2025, amends the previous CUP-1505 for the redevelopment of an automobile service station located at 24362 El Toro Road, Laguna Woods, California 92637. The permit authorizes modifications to the fuel island canopies, replacing them with taller freestanding structures to improve lighting, shelter, and accessibility for larger vehicles. Additionally, the permit allows for changes to the existing building's roof design and permits the outdoor storage of merchandise to expand the variety and visibility of retail goods available to the local community. The project is categorized as a land-use entitlement rather than a procurement contract and is therefore not subject to standard pricing or award evaluation factors. It is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15302 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, as the work involves the replacement of existing structures on the same site with substantially the same purpose and capacity. This permit applies to the current applicant and any eligible successors at the project location.
