PLN25-00332 Corthell Garage Side Setback Variance

The request pertains to a zoning variance for the construction of a 1,050-square-foot detached two-car garage at 9425 Bridge Creek Ln. in unincorporated Newcastle, Placer County, California, to accommodate a truck and travel trailer and to support a roof-mounted solar array located ten feet from the side property line. Normally, a 30-foot side setback is required under Placer County Code, but the homeowner, at the request of the Homeowners Association, is seeking approval to reduce this setback to ten feet. The project is being reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a categorical exemption under Sections 15303 and 15305, which apply to new construction of small structures and minor land use alterations. The Placer County Community Development Resource Agency is the lead agency overseeing this administrative approval process, with no federal procurement elements involved. No contract value, pricing, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are applicable or present; instead, compliance with local zoning codes and environmental exemptions forms the basis of the request. The anticipated action date for approval is November 20, 2025, with the public notice posted on November 25, 2025. Point of contact for inquiries is Claudia Garcia, a technician with the agency, reachable at 530-745-3592 or claudiagarcia@placer.ca.gov. There is no formal contract type, performance period, delivery schedule, or invoicing mechanism established, as the submission is an entitlement application under local jurisdictional authority rather than a procured service or supply contract.
