PLN-23-00141 Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit for In-N-Out Burger

The City of Downey is advancing a project to construct a new 3,887 square foot In-N-Out Burger restaurant at 9440 & 9454 Imperial Highway, with accompanying outdoor dining and a drive-thru facility, under project identifier PLN-23-00141. The initiative has been processed as a local land use application under California’s Environmental Quality Act, qualifying for a categorical exemption under Class 3 (15303) due to its small scale and urban location, eliminating the need for a full environmental impact report. Administrative oversight is managed by the City of Downey’s Planning department, with Abraham Luna serving as the Senior Planner and primary point of contact, and Peter Kulmaticki representing the applicant, In-N-Out Burger. The project was posted on December 8, 2025, and the conditional use permit and site plan approval are the primary objectives, with no federal procurement or contracting mechanisms involved. The facility is intended to comply with local zoning and building codes, though no detailed technical specifications, performance metrics, or construction timelines are provided in the documentation. No federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, pricing data, payment terms, or evaluation criteria apply to this action, as it is not a federal contract but a municipal permitting and environmental review process. There is no solicitation number, contract value, clause numbering from the FAR, or formal delivery schedule. The documents reference only the need for a certified exemption finding and a filed Notice of Exemption as part of the local approval process, with no mention of bonding, insurance, quality standards, inspection protocols beyond regulatory compliance, or contract administration roles such as COR or COTR. The project’s scope is limited to site development under state and local authority, without federal funding, oversight, or contractual obligations typically associated with federal acquisitions. All activities and approvals are confined to the jurisdiction of the City of Downey, with no indication of competitive bidding, offeror representations, socioeconomic set-asides, or federal reporting requirements.
