Use Permit Modification No. UP 97-14 MOD; 2001 E. Orangethorpe Avenue, Units D-G (Esther’s Taco House Restaurant)

The City of Placentia is processing a Use Permit Modification, designated UP 97-14 MOD, to authorize Esther’s Taco House located at 2001 E. Orangethorpe Ave., Units D-G, to change its California Alcoholic Beverage Control license from Type 41 to Type 47. This modification permits the onsite sale and consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits within the existing footprint of the restaurant, located in a Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) zoning district, without any physical expansion or structural changes. The action was determined to be categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301 as a minor modification to an existing facility with no significant environmental impact, eliminating the need for an environmental impact report. The project was filed on September 10, 2025, and approved by the Planning Commission on September 9, 2025, with associated administrative fees paid for CEQA filing and state agency notifications including a Notice of Exemption and a CDFW No Effect Determination. The application is submitted by Brian Claprood, the owner of Esther’s Taco House, with Lesley Whittaker, Associate Planner for the City of Placentia, serving as the primary point of contact for regulatory review. There is no federal procurement component to this action; it does not involve FAR clauses, contract line items, or any federal acquisition regulations. No contract value, payment office details, invoicing system, or government contracting roles such as COR or COTR are applicable. The approval is contingent solely on compliance with local zoning and ABC licensing requirements, and the change in license type is administrative in nature rather than contractual. All processes are governed by state and municipal procedures under CEQA and local land use authority, with no federal reporting, socioeconomic certifications, or supply chain requirements triggered. The submission was made via physical filing with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder, and no electronic systems or standardized federal contract formats were used.
