La Paz Village Senior Housing Project (Site Development Permit No. 0147-2023)

The La Paz Village Senior Housing Project is a 180-unit senior living development planned for a 2.44-acre site within an existing retail center in Laguna Hills, California, situated in a Community Commercial (CC) zoned area under the General Plan. The five-story podium-style building will include 162 market-rate units and 18 affordable units, with a unit mix consisting of 16 studios, 93 one-bedroom units, and 71 two-bedroom units, ranging from 390 to 1,040 square feet. The project achieves a density of 74 dwelling units per acre and provides 253 parking spaces through a combination of underground garage and at-grade parking. The development is designed to comply with California’s statutory exemption under Public Resources Code Section 21080.66 (AB 130), which requires the site to be under five acres, previously developed urban land, not in a coastal zone, free of impacts to protected habitats, and with a minimum density of 15 units per acre—all conditions met by this project. A Notice of Exemption has been filed, confirming environmental compliance without the need for a full CEQA review. The City of Laguna Hills is the approving agency, with Jennifer Lowe, Community Development Director, listed as the primary point of contact, and Nick Buchanan of La Paz Village Investors, LLC, identified as the project applicant. Although the project has been classified as a forecast and assigned a Site Development Permit No. 0147-2023, no formal contract, solicitation number, or financial details are present in the records. There is no indication of awarded funding, pricing, contract type, acquisition method, or procurement evaluation criteria. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, contract administration data, invoicing procedures, COR/COTR designations, or federal representations such as UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications are documented. The project’s framework is defined by local land use approvals and state environmental exemptions rather than federal contracting mechanisms, with all procedural documentation centered on compliance with California housing and environmental law. The place of performance is clearly identified as 25250 to 25254 La Paz Road, Laguna Hills, CA 92653, but no performance timeline, delivery schedule, or FOB terms are provided.
