The Little Cottage Caregivers LLC

The Little Cottage Caregivers LLC operates a commercial cannabis business at 979 N La Brea Ave in Los Angeles, California, with continuous operations since March 1, 2018. The project involves minor interior tenant improvements and the installation of security infrastructure, including lighting and surveillance cameras, to bring the facility into compliance with local building, fire, and public health codes for both retail and non-retail cannabis operations. No demolition, structural expansion, or changes to land use are proposed, and the site is fully developed within an urban context, consistent with existing zoning and general plan designations. The activity qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, indicating minimal environmental impact. Regulatory authority rests with the California Department of Cannabis Control, which approved the license on February 13, 2025, based on compliance with state licensing regulations and local permitting requirements rather than a competitive procurement process. No contract value, pricing, or federal acquisition regulation clauses apply, as this is a state licensing action, not a federal contract. The point of contact for environmental compliance is Kevin Varzandeh, Environmental Scientist, reachable via phone and email provided, and all related documentation is available through the Department of Cannabis Control in Rancho Cordova, California. Submission of environmental and permit applications was required by mail to a designated P.O. Box, with no electronic portal or formal proposal formatting instructions specified.
