Melfred Borzall Planned Development Amendment and Conditional Use Permit

The City of Santa Maria has approved a permit amendment and conditional use permit for Melfred Borzall to modify an existing industrial building located at 2712 Airpark Drive within the PD/M-1 zoning district. The proposed changes include remodeling the building’s office space, establishing an outdoor storage yard, and reducing the required parking capacity on a 2.15-acre site. The action was evaluated under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined to qualify for categorical exemptions under Sections 15301 and 15303 of the State Guidelines, which cover existing facilities and minor alterations with no significant environmental impact. The project received formal approval on December 9, 2025, with permit numbers A2025-0007 and U2025-0008 assigned to the amendment and conditional use permit respectively. No competitive procurement process was involved; the approval is ministerial and based solely on compliance with CEQA exemption criteria and the absence of unusual circumstances, hazardous materials, or historical resource concerns. The applicant, represented by Dana Smith of Hunter Smith Architecture, is responsible for implementing the approved changes at the designated site. The City of Santa Maria’s Community Development Department, led by Senior Planner Cody Graybehl, serves as the approving authority and point of contact for administrative and environmental compliance matters. There are no financial figures, contract pricing, invoicing systems, delivery schedules, or federal acquisition regulations applicable to this action, as it is a local land-use permitting decision under state environmental law rather than a federal procurement contract.
