Lot Merger #00192

The project involves the consolidation of three individual lots into a single approximately 0.66-acre parcel located at 1113 Hefferman Avenue in Heber, California, within Imperial County, to facilitate future residential development. The merger is administratively processed under California’s Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and qualifies for a categorical exemption under Section 15305(a) as a minor alteration in land use limitations, eliminating the need for environmental review. Water and sewer services will be extended to the merged lot through existing infrastructure provided by the Heber Public Utility District, while physical access to the property will remain via Hefferman Avenue without modification. The application was submitted by private applicant Brandon Hernandez and reviewed by Imperial County Planning & Development Services, with Michael Abraham serving as the primary point of contact for administrative oversight. The project was posted on December 23, 2025, and signed on December 19, 2025, with no formal contract value, pricing, or procurement terms specified, as this is a local land use approval rather than a federal or state procurement contract. No federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, payment details, invoicing methods, inspection criteria, or socioeconomic certifications apply, as the process is governed entirely by state and local land use codes. Submissions are required in physical form and delivered to either the Imperial County Clerk’s office in El Centro or the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento, with no electronic submission options outlined.
