Development Review No. DRP25-0100 and Variance No. VAR26-0001

Development Review No. DRP25-0100 and Variance No. VAR26-0001 involve the request to construct a new 8,690-square-foot single-family residence at 16320 Aurora Crest Drive in Whittier, California. The property is located within the Hillside Residential Zone and is characterized as in-fill to an existing residential subdivision. The project requires certain deviations from the Whittier Municipal Code development standards but must otherwise comply with general plan and zoning requirements. The City of Whittier Planning Division serves as the lead agency and has determined that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA under sections 15303, 15332, and 15061(b)(3), concluding that the construction will not significantly impact air quality, noise, traffic, or water quality. Administrative oversight is managed by the City of Whittier, with key contacts including Assistant Planner Alejandro Murillo, Principal Planner Ellen Fitzgerald, and Assistant Director of Community Development Luis G. Escobedo. This action is a land use approval process rather than a procurement contract for goods or services.
