The Brookside Project

The Brookside Project is a residential development proposal in the City of Walnut, California, seeking approval for a Tentative Tract Map to establish 27 single-family detached homes on a property zoned as Residential Planned Development (RPD) with a minimum lot size of 28,500 square feet and a density of 1.3 dwelling units per acre, consistent with the City’s General Plan designation for Very Low Density. All development activities are subject to subsequent Site Plan and Architectural Review under the City’s Municipal Code, with compliance governed by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) rather than federal procurement regulations. Environmental mitigation measures are mandated across biological, cultural, and hazardous material resources, including protections for nesting birds during September to February, jurisdictional water determinations prior to grading, asbestos and lead paint surveys before demolition, and paleontological monitoring during excavation. Mitigation responsibilities are tied to specific project milestones such as grading, permit issuance, and pre-occupancy, requiring submission of detailed reports including tree preservation and replacement plans, biological surveys, archaeological monitoring agreements, and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. All work must be overseen by qualified professionals, including certified archaeologists, biologists, and paleontologists, with consultation required from Native American tribes for cultural resource management. The project is administered by the City of Walnut’s Community Development Department, with Joelle Guerra serving as the primary point of contact and the City acting as the Lead Agency under CEQA. The proposed site is located at the intersection of Meadow Pass Road and Lemon Avenue, with all performance activities confined to this location. Financial obligations include an environmental impact report filing fee of $4,000 and a county documentary handling fee of $198.50, totaling $4,198.50 paid to the City of Walnut, with payments processed via check to the City’s designated address. No federal contract clauses, solicitation numbers, pricing structures, or procurement award criteria are applicable, as the documentation is an environmental review record—not a federal contract. The State Clearinghouse number 2022110184 serves as the project’s identification, and while regulatory approvals from agencies like the Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are required, no formal federal acquisition framework, contract type, or contracting officer is involved. Long-term conditions include deed restrictions for conservation easements and riparian habitat management, ensuring ongoing compliance beyond initial construction.
