Conditional Use Permit No. 0053-25

The City of Hanford is reviewing Conditional Use Permit No. 0053-25 to allow the relocation of O7 Ink Lounge, an existing tattoo studio, into a 1,110-square-foot suite located at 126 N. 11th Ave. in the MX-C Corridor Mixed Use zone. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, as it involves a minor alteration to an existing facility without expanding its use, thereby eliminating the need for extensive environmental review. The permit action is administrative in nature and does not constitute a competitive procurement or federal contract, thus no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, evaluation factors, pricing, payment terms, or contractor certifications apply. The applicant, Erely Ochoa, is responsible for executing the relocation, with oversight managed by the City of Hanford’s Planning Division, primarily through Associate Planner Mark Manha. The deadline for submission was October 14, 2025, and while the permit was posted on October 17, 2025, no formal period of performance, delivery schedule, or financial value has been specified. All relevant documents are handled through the City’s planning office in Hanford or mailed to the Sacramento office, with no electronic submission portal or digital requirements indicated. The project is purely a local land use and zoning approval process, not a federal acquisition.
