Land Use Permit for Residential Care Facility - CDLP23-02046

Contra Costa County has approved a Land Use Permit (CDLP23-02046) for a residential care facility for the elderly located at 2374 Warren Road, Walnut Creek, California. The project allows the facility to serve up to 18 people and includes the construction of a two-story addition measuring approximately 2,665 square feet. The approval, granted by the Board of Supervisors on July 22, 2025, includes specific variances for off-street parking, reducing the required driveway aisle width from 25 feet to 14 feet 6 inches and the intersection requirement from 18 feet to 7 feet 2 inches. The project is classified as a ministerial action and is categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(e)(2), as it involves the alteration of an existing structure with negligible expansion in a developed area. Administrative oversight is managed by the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development, with Planner III Everett Louie serving as the primary point of contact. The applicant for the project is Nathan Watkins on behalf of Carnelian Holdings, LLC. This action is a regulatory land-use approval rather than a competitive procurement contract, and as such, it does not contain federal acquisition clauses, specific contract values, or standard procurement evaluation factors.
