Development Plan for a Small Lot Design Review for Detached Pergola, County File #CDDP25-03019

Contra Costa County is processing a development plan for the approval of a 370-square-foot detached pergola located at 4010 Wellington Place in Lafayette, California, on a lot measuring 109 feet in width—below the 120-foot minimum required for standard lots. The project is being reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and qualifies for a categorical exemption under Section 15303(e), which permits small accessory structures on single-family residential lots without the need for extensive environmental analysis. The approval process is ministerial in nature, meaning it is based on compliance with established regulations rather than discretionary review or competitive evaluation. Administrative fees totaling $75 have been paid—$50 to the County Clerk and $25 to the Department of Conservation and Development—for filing the exemption notice and development plan, but no contract value, pricing structure, or line-item costs are applicable as this is not a procurement contract. The project documentation includes a signed Notice of Exemption and a certified exemption finding, both required to satisfy CEQA compliance, with no federal acquisition regulation clauses, procurement terms, or contractor-specific requirements present. The lead agency responsible for review and approval is the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development, with Chloe Partain, Project Planner, serving as the primary point of contact. The property owner, Christopher Mills, is also listed as a point of contact. The place of performance is clearly defined as the property address in Lafayette, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site under county oversight. There is no specified period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or invoicing mechanism, as no construction contract or procurement action is being awarded; instead, the outcome is a permit issuance contingent on meeting CEQA and local design review standards. No federal contracting elements—including FAR clauses, solicitation numbers, evaluation factors, payment office details, accounting codes, or representations and certifications—are applicable, as this is a purely local land-use and environmental compliance matter governed by California state law and county ordinance, not federal acquisition policy.
