Land Use Planning and Zoning Compliance Consulting

The contract requires regulatory analysis and public agency coordination to amend Ordinance 378-2073 and support the issuance of a Notice of Exemption under Fish and Wildlife Code Section 711.4 as mandated by AB3158, focusing on land use planning and zoning compliance. The work centers on navigating environmental regulatory frameworks to ensure legal alignment and procedural adherence in pursuit of exemptions that facilitate development or land use changes without triggering full environmental review. This involves close collaboration with state and local agencies to assess impacts, prepare documentation, and respond to stakeholder or regulatory inquiries. The services are to be performed primarily in Redding, California, with a NAICS code of 541610 indicating environmental consulting and related professional services. The contract is structured as a subcontract under Shasta County’s jurisdiction and was posted on July 3, 2026, with no set-aside designation applied. The effort is technical and compliance-driven, requiring expertise in California environmental law, municipal ordinance amendments, and regulatory exemption procedures under fish and wildlife statutes. The ultimate goal is to secure lawful and defensible exemptions that allow the amended ordinance to proceed without violating state environmental mandates.
