Environmental Assessment No. P24-04067

The project at 2133 E McKinley Ave in Fresno, California, involves a proposed ±2,400 square-foot retail building on a 0.17-acre parcel zoned Commercial General, with associated site improvements including five parking spaces, a trash enclosure, landscaping, a six-foot chain-link perimeter fence with a rolling gate, and a new drive approach. The development is subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with a categorical exemption approved under Section 15332/Class 32 for in-fill development, as the project meets criteria for being consistent with existing zoning, located within an urbanized area, and having minimal environmental impact, particularly in terms of vehicle miles traveled, which is projected to be 13% below the regional per capita average in compliance with SB 743. The environmental assessment confirms no significant impacts on noise, air quality, water quality, or stormwater management, and all applicable local regulations including Fresno Municipal Code, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District standards, and Metropolitan Flood Control District requirements have been addressed. The applicant, Jeff Bretz, submitted the development permit application and categorical exemption determination, with the City of Fresno’s Planning and Development Department serving as the lead agency overseeing compliance and issuance of the permit. The process is administrative in nature, governed by local land use and environmental regulations rather than federal procurement standards; there are no contract clauses, pricing data, payment terms, invoicing procedures, or federal acquisition regulation elements present. No contracting officer, contracting officer’s representative, or financial accounting codes such as TAS or AAC are identified, and no procurement solicitation or award mechanism exists. The submission was processed under a CEQA framework with no federal certification, small business representation, or socioeconomic disclosures required. The primary documentation includes a vicinity map and the categorical exemption determination, submitted by August 14, 2025, to the City of Fresno’s Planning and Development Department at 2600 Fresno Street, with copies provided to Fresno County Clerk, and no electronic submission portal or standardized digital format requirements were specified. All approvals and inspections are tied to the project site at 2133 E McKinley Ave, Fresno, CA 93703, with final acceptance granted by the City upon compliance with all environmental and municipal codes.
