RM-2025-014

The City of Cupertino is processing a minor residential permit application, identified as RM-2025-014, to reduce the rear yard setback for a property located at 10329 Colby Ave., Cupertino, CA 95014 from its standard requirement to 10 feet. This is a non-competitive, ministerial action under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically qualifying for a categorical exemption under Section 15301 as a minor alteration to an existing residential facility. The applicant, Chia Chi Chang, submitted the request with supporting documentation totaling two pages, including a certified exemption finding, and the project was filed on November 13, 2025, with an associated administrative filing fee of $50. No federal acquisition regulations, contract pricing, delivery schedules, or procurement elements apply, as this is a local land-use permitting matter rather than a federal contract. The City’s Planning Department, represented by Associate Planner Jelani Mora, serves as the lead agency for review and approval, with no contract officers, contracting representatives, or payment offices designated. The approval process hinges solely on compliance with local zoning regulations and CEQA’s categorical exemption criteria, with no formal evaluation factors, award criteria, subcontracting requirements, or socioeconomic certifications involved. All correspondence and submissions are administrative in nature, with physical paper filings required and no electronic submission portals or federal reporting obligations established.
