DA-25-0020

The City of Grover Beach is authorizing the construction of a pergola patio cover over the existing outdoor dining area at Pono Pacific Kitchen, located at 228 W Grand Avenue within the Coastal Zone. This action is administered as an administrative coastal development permit under a CEQA Class 1 categorical exemption (Section 15301), which deems the project a minor alteration to an existing facility with no significant environmental impact, making it non-appealable to the California Coastal Commission. The approval is ministerial and based solely on compliance with applicable codes and the exemption determination under Section 15061(b)(3), eliminating the need for competitive bidding, formal evaluation factors, or detailed performance metrics. The project is identified as DA-25-0020 and was posted on November 7, 2025, as a forecasted action rather than a formal contract, with no associated cost estimates, pricing terms, or federal acquisition regulation clauses applicable. The applicant, Ashlee Alwine, is responsible for compliance with State environmental requirements and local development standards, while the City of Grover Beach’s Community Development Department serves as the approving authority under the oversight of Senior Planner Kyle Bell, who can be contacted for clarification. No federal contracting mechanisms, such as FAR clauses, COR/COTR designations, invoicing systems, or payment office details, are involved, as this is a purely municipal land use and environmental review process. Attachments include a certified exemption finding, and submissions are directed to the City’s office at 154 S. 8th Street, Grover Beach, CA 93433, though specific submission formats, deadlines, or electronic portals are not outlined. The project does not trigger federal socioeconomic reporting, unique entity identifiers, or contractor certifications, and operates entirely under state-level environmental and planning law without federal procurement infrastructure.
