Ordinance No. 25-1764 (ZTA No. 2025-03)

The City of Norwalk, California, is amending Title 17 of its Municipal Code through Ordinance No. 25-1764 (ZTA No. 2025-03) to update zoning regulations across multiple areas including definitions, parking standards, permitted uses in commercial and manufacturing zones, emergency shelters, low-barrier navigation centers, R-1 and institutional zone uses, and the land use matrix. A new section, 17.04.500, is being added to establish standards for mixed-use development. The amendment is administrative and regulatory in nature, aiming to modernize land use policies without triggering the need for physical construction or service delivery. The project qualifies for a CEQA Common Sense Exemption under Section 15061(b)(3), eliminating the need for environmental review, and requires submission of a Notice of Exemption as a condition of filing. The applicant, the City of Norwalk Planning Division, paid a $75 county documentary handling fee via credit card, and no federal contracting mechanisms such as FAR clauses, CAGE codes, UEI identifiers, or federal appropriation data are involved, as this is a local government action. The lead contact for the amendment is Nancy Lee, Development Services Manager, reachable at the City of Norwalk Planning Division located at 12700 Norwalk Boulevard, Norwalk, CA 90650. Performance is citywide within Norwalk, with no defined period of performance beyond the ordinance adoption date of December 17, 2025, and posting on December 18, 2025. No formal contract number, solicitation number, or procurement type is assigned, and the document is classified as a forecast with no pricing, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or invoicing structure applicable under federal acquisition standards. Attachments include the Notice of Exemption and, if applicable, a previously paid fee receipt. The submission is paper-based with no electronic portal specified, and no special requirements for security, personnel, conflict of interest, or packaging apply. The city acts as both applicant and governing authority, with no third-party contractor or commercial offeror involved, and no socioeconomic or small business certifications are relevant or declared.
