Thompson House

The Thompson House project in Placerville, California, involves a regulatory amendment to reclassify a 1.01-acre property from Business and Professional (BP) to High Density Residential (HDR) on the General Plan Map and to change the zoning designation from BP to Medium Density Multi-Family Residential (MDR). A Conditional Use Permit is required to re-establish residential use on the site, and the project has been determined categorically exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, which applies to minor alterations to existing facilities with no substantial expansion of use, as supported by CEQA Section 15061(b)(3). The project is located at 3062 Cedar Ravine Road, Placerville, CA 95667, and all approvals and documentation are overseen by the City of Placerville. The exemption finding and Notice of Exemption are the official deliverables, with required attachments including a certified document of exemption and a filed Notice of Exemption submitted to the City’s Development Services office and the County Clerk of El Dorado County. Carole Kendrick, Director of Development Services, serves as the primary point of contact for the project. No procurement elements such as pricing, contract type, payment terms, invoicing methods, or federal acquisition regulations apply, as this is solely a local land use and environmental compliance action. There are no contract clauses, evaluation factors, delivery schedules, or contractor obligations typical of federal or commercial contracts; instead, the process centers around administrative approval, public notice, and regulatory documentation under state environmental law.
