Gardena WCCS - CUP #7-24, EA #17-24

The City of Gardena is processing a request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP #7-24) to allow private vehicle storage operations within two existing industrial buildings totaling 23,334 square feet located at 1608–1612 West 139th Street in the General Industrial (M-2) zoning district. This action is governed by the Gardena Municipal Code Section 18.46.030.C.9 and has been determined eligible for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, as the project involves no expansion or major alterations to existing structures and is not expected to result in significant environmental impacts. The applicant, Matthew Farah, has submitted the required documentation including a certified exemption finding and a Notice of Exemption, which was approved on August 20, 2025. The project does not constitute a federal procurement and contains no federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses, contract values, payment terms, delivery schedules, inspection criteria, or procurement-based evaluation factors. Instead, it is an administrative land-use permit approved through state environmental law procedures, with no competitive bidding, cost estimates, or contractual obligations. The City of Gardena’s Planning Assistant, Kevin La, serves as the point of contact for the project, and all activities are confined to local regulatory compliance. No federal entity, agency, or contracting office is involved, and no corporate certifications, socioeconomic status declarations, or unique entity identifiers are applicable or provided. The approval is contingent solely upon adherence to municipal code and CEQA exemption requirements without any additional performance, packaging, or administrative specifications beyond the environmental review process.
