DCR CORE RECORD NO. 200161

The contract pertains to the cultivation of commercial cannabis products at 2333 E Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, under the regulatory authority of the City of Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulation. The project involves converting a 17,250 sq ft lot from office/factory use to indoor cannabis cultivation with a 15,877 sq ft operational area, limited to one shift daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, seven days a week, with no more than three employees and no public access or vendor deliveries. The activity is classified as a Class 1 and Class 32 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), meaning it is deemed to have no significant environmental impact due to its nature as an infill development on previously graded land consistent with the M3-1-RIO zoning designation and without expansion of existing structures or use of hazardous materials. No further environmental review is required under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2, and the applicant has affirmed that none of the exceptions triggering full environmental analysis apply. Compliance with the Los Angeles Municipal Code, including Sections 104.03 and 105.02, along with regulations from the California Department of Cannabis Control, LADWP, LASAN, and other local agencies, is mandatory. The licensee, EAK Enterprises, Inc., holds a provisional cannabis license with the state ID CCL20-0001070 and must maintain continuous regulatory compliance as a condition of operation. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by the City of Los Angeles DCR at the site, with administrative oversight handled at their offices in downtown Los Angeles. There are no federal procurement elements, contract values, pricing details, or FAR clauses present, as this is a municipal licensing and regulatory approval process rather than a competitive federal acquisition. Key requirements include granting access to DCR officials at all times, prohibitions on ownership by government employees regulating cannabis, no facility expansion beyond the approved footprint, and adherence to energy and water efficiency standards. The process is compliance-based, with no scoring system or trade-off evaluation; approval hinges on meeting all statutory and environmental criteria without disqualifying factors such as fraud, denial of access, or unresolved violations. No formal contract type, payment terms, invoicing systems, or federal socioeconomic certifications are applicable. Submission of required forms—Exhibit A (Project Specific Information Form) and Exhibit B (Project Parcel Profile Report)—is essential, and all documentation is submitted on
