Minor Conditional Use Permit Case No. CUP25-0007

The City of Rancho Mirage is processing a Minor Conditional Use Permit, CUP25-0007, to authorize the adaptive reuse of an existing 9,032-square-foot building located at 69640 Highway 111, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270, as a place of worship. The application, submitted by the Islamic Society of the Desert through applicant Mike Z. Haque, seeks approval under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, which categorically exempts changes of use for existing facilities where no significant environmental impact is anticipated. This action is classified as a ministerial function and is not subject to competitive procurement processes, nor does it involve federal acquisition regulations, pricing, payment terms, or contractual deliverables. The approval hinges solely on compliance with local zoning regulations and environmental exemption criteria, without the need for cost analysis, evaluation factors, or contractor certifications. The Planning Manager, Ben Torres, serves as the primary point of contact for the permit review, and the submission deadline was set for September 25, 2025, with the permit notice posted on September 29, 2025. No federal contracting components such as FAR clauses, COR/COTR assignments, invoicing systems, accounting data, packaging standards, or socioeconomic certifications are applicable, as this is a purely local land-use determination governed by state environmental and zoning law.
