UDSP Self Storage & District Expansion, Municipal Code Text Amendment TA24-0004

The City of San Marcos is advancing a municipal code text amendment, designated TA24-0004, to exclude the University District Specific Plan Self-Storage Overlay Zone from the requirements of Section 20.400.180 of the San Marcos Municipal Code. This regulatory adjustment is intended to revise zoning standards for self-storage facilities within the designated area, without triggering the need for environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as the project has been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The amendment is not a procurement contract but a local land use planning action, and as such, it does not involve federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, pricing, delivery schedules, or award evaluation criteria. The applicant, Urban Villages San Marcos, LLC, submitted the necessary documentation, including a Notice of Exemption, and paid a $50.00 administrative fee via VitalCheck to the San Diego County Clerk’s Office for filing, with no federal accounting identifiers or procurement structures applicable. The project’s sole performance location is on the south side of East Carmel Street, 300 feet east of Industrial Street in San Marcos, California, and administrative approval authority rests with the City of San Marcos Planning Division, led by Planning Director Joseph Farace, who signed the amendment on January 14, 2026, with public posting occurring on January 15, 2026. No traditional contract administration roles such as contracting officer or technical representative are involved, and the amendment’s implementation relies solely on municipal code adoption and environmental compliance certification.
