Levesque Garage Side Setback Variance (PLN25-00009)

Placer County is considering a request to approve a zoning variance for the construction of a 1,200 square-foot detached garage at 600 Canyon Drive in Auburn, California, which would reduce the required side setback from 30 feet to 18 feet from the road easement and the stream setback from 50 feet to 35 feet from an intermittent watercourse along the western property line. The application, identified as PLN25-00009, is being processed as a ministerial determination under the Placer County Environmental Review Ordinance, specifically seeking categorical exemption under Class 3 for accessory structures and Class 5 for minor land use alterations, in alignment with California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Sections 15303 and 15305. The decision hinges solely on compliance with these regulatory exemptions and local zoning codes, not on competitive evaluation, pricing, or contractor selection, as no procurement or contractual obligations are involved. The project has been posted for administrative review with a submission deadline and entitlement date of October 23, 2025, and the approving authority is the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, with Claudia Garcia designated as the lead contact for coordination. There is no formal contract, federal acquisition regulation clause, or commercial procurement structure associated with this submission. No contract value, payment terms, invoicing systems, accounting codes, or contractor certifications such as UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic status are applicable or provided. The process does not include inspection specifications, delivery schedules, packaging requirements, or contract administration roles like COR or PCO. Submission is directed to the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation in Sacramento, with administrative inquiries handled by the agency’s Auburn office. The determination is based on regulatory compliance and environmental exemption criteria, without financial consideration, competitive bidding, or contractual performance elements typically associated with federal or commercial contracts. Final approval, if granted, will be a ministerial issuance of the variance based on documented adherence to local land use and environmental exemption standards.
