Environmental Assessment No. P25-01618

The City of Fresno is authorizing the construction of a four-story, 54-unit affordable residential building at 3754 East Cesar Chavez Boulevard under Zone Clearance No. P25-01618, which qualifies as a Streamlined Infill Project under California Senate Bills 35 and 423 and Government Code Section 65913.4. This project is eligible for ministerial approval, meaning it bypasses discretionary review and is subject only to objective zoning and development standards, with environmental review exempted under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15268 and Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1). The Environmental Assessment No. P25-01618, posted on December 9, 2025, serves as the formal notice of exemption and confirms compliance with state housing laws, including documentation of fee payments, a site vicinity map, and a determination from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife indicating no adverse effect on natural resources. The project proponent, Jake Lingo of Integrated Community Development, and the approving authority, the City of Fresno Planning and Development Department, are the primary parties involved, with Robert Holt listed as the supervising planner and primary point of contact. No federal contract clauses, acquisition regulations, or procurement mechanisms apply to this action, as it is a state and locally governed land use and environmental compliance process rather than a federal procurement. There are no contract line items, pricing structures, payment offices, accounting codes, or federal solicitation identifiers such as UEI, CAGE, or FAR clauses. The submission is processed through physical documents routed to Fresno County Clerk’s Office and Sacramento’s Office of Planning & Research, with no electronic submission system in place. The only monetary transactions referenced are administrative fees tied to environmental filings—none of which constitute a contract award value. Performance is measured by adherence to statutory requirements for ministerial approval, including compliance with zoning standards and submission of approved documentation such as the Notice of Exemption, which was issued on November 20, 2025. The project does not involve construction contracting as defined under federal acquisition systems; instead, its success hinges on regulatory certification under California law, with no formal period of performance, delivery schedule, or inspection criteria beyond those derived directly from CEQA and SB-35/SB-423 mandates.
