El Nido Park Zone Change

The City of Irwindale, California, has approved a zoning change for El Nido Park, reclassifying the land from A-1 Agricultural to RP Recreation and Parks designation to align with its existing use and the previously certified General Plan Environmental Impact Report. This administrative amendment, finalized on July 23, 2025, and officially posted on July 24, 2025, is exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15260 et seq., based on consistency with the certified EIR. The project requires no construction, physical deliverables, or financial outlay, with the sole outcome being the formal update of the city’s zoning map. Responsibility for oversight and approval rests entirely with the City of Irwindale’s Department of Planning and Community Development, located at 16102 Arrow Highway, Irwindale, CA 91706, with Assistant Planner Jarrod Palmer serving as the primary point of contact. No federal contracting mechanisms apply; there are no solicitation numbers, contract types, clause references, payment details, accounting codes, invoicing systems, or procurement requirements as defined under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The action is purely a local land-use decision, supported by state environmental law, and involves no contractors, bid submissions, evaluation factors, representations, certifications, or financial terms beyond the administrative approval process itself.
