Conditional Use Permit (CUP-25-03) - 2121 Orange Street, Unit C
Solicitation # CUP-25-03
The City of Alhambra is processing a Conditional Use Permit application, CUP-25-03, to authorize the operation of a dance studio within an existing 3,095 square foot tenant space located at 2121 Orange Street, Unit C, in a one-story building zoned for Industrial use. The application seeks regulatory approval to convert the space for dance instruction without altering the building’s structure or expanding its footprint, and it has been determined to qualify for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15301, as it involves the continued use of an existing facility with no significant environmental impact. The permit is not a federal procurement contract and does not contain any Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, pricing information, delivery schedules, inspection criteria, or federal contracting elements. The application is managed by the City of Alhambra’s Community Development Department, with Avery Talli, Assistant Planner, serving as the primary point of contact, while Leonid Burlo, the studio owner, is listed as the applicant. The application was submitted on November 18, 2025, and the project’s location is confirmed as Alhambra, California, with no federal entity identifiers, socioeconomic certifications, or procurement-related documentation included. Approval of the permit is the sole deliverable, requiring only compliance with local zoning regulations and the CEQA exemption, with no additional performance obligations, reporting requirements, or payment terms outlined.

RSM 25-007 NOE Center Stage Dance and Performing Arts
Solicitation # RSM 25-007
The City of Rancho Santa Margarita has approved an amendment to Conditional Use Permit RSM 09-017 to allow the continued operation of a dance and performing arts studio within the Business Park zoning district at 29832 Avenida de las Banderas. The project involves an interior reconfiguration of an existing 4,600 square foot building to accommodate three dance studios, a lobby/reception area, restrooms, and a homework room, with no changes to the building’s exterior, footprint, or signage. This amendment qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15301 as an existing facility with no new construction or significant environmental impacts, and no competitive procurement process was involved. The approved permit enables the studio to operate under revised conditions while maintaining compliance with local zoning regulations and environmental standards. The primary point of contact for this matter is Wendy Starks, Principal Planner with the City of Rancho Santa Margarita. The project remains entirely local in scope, with no federal procurement elements, contract value, payment terms, invoicing systems, or federal contract clauses applicable, as it pertains solely to land use and environmental review under California law. No solicitation, award evaluation, or delivery schedule was established since this is an administrative permit amendment rather than a goods or service contract.
