Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) No. 2025-15: Check n' Play Type 41 ABC License

The City of Brea is processing a Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP No. 2025-15) to authorize the on-site sale of beer and wine under a California ABC Type 41 license at Check n’ Play, an existing cafe located at 2072 Brea Mall in Brea, California. The request does not involve physical expansion or structural changes to the facility but seeks approval to add alcohol sales as an ancillary use to its current restaurant operations. The permit application is supported by a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, which applies to minor alterations to existing facilities without expanding their use, and has been supplemented by a Notice of Exemption and a No Effect Determination from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Administrative fees have been waived, with payment for county documentary handling accepted via credit, cash, or check, and no formal contract value is established since this is a land-use permit, not a procurement contract. The applicant, Steffanie Balsells, is the sole point of contact for the project, while Esteban Rubiano, Assistant Planner for the City of Brea, serves as the primary agency liaison. All filings must be physically submitted to the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s office in Santa Ana, with no electronic submission options available. Compliance with ABC licensing standards and local zoning regulations is required, but no federal procurement elements such as contracting officer oversight, payment offices, accounting lines, evaluation factors, or socioeconomic certifications are applicable. The approval process hinges on administrative and environmental compliance rather than competitive bidding or performance metrics, and no period of performance or delivery schedule is defined beyond the approval of the permit itself.
