The Valley Motel Expansion project, authorized under Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-0007 and Minor Amendment No. 2025-0009, involves the expansion of an existing motel located at 581 North Mollison Avenue, El Cajon, California. The scope of work includes increasing the total number of guest rooms from 17 to 27 through the reconfiguration of existing rooms and the conversion of an attached liquor store into a lobby, guest rooms, and motel storage. The project also entails minor exterior alterations to the existing commercial building. The City of El Cajon serves as the lead agency for this project, which is classified under NAICS code 236220. According to the Notice of Exemption dated June 8, 2026, the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under section 15301, Class 1, as it consists of minor alterations to existing facilities with negligible expansion. Key personnel associated with the project include Senior Planner Michael Viglione and Principal Architect Diane Zoura.
