Village Walk (East) Health Club Expansion - ZA-2024-7857-CU2-SPPC-ALT

The project involves the expansion of a health club at 18620-18734 Ventura Boulevard and 5442-5444 Yolanda Avenue in Los Angeles, California, under the C2-1VL Community Commercial zoning district. The request seeks approval for extended operating hours from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily, a change of use from retail to a health club, and the addition of 249 square feet of floor area. An alternative compliance request has been submitted to allow the relocation of long-term bicycle parking spaces, deviating from standard placement requirements. The project has been determined to qualify for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Class 1 for minor building conversions and Class 11 for minor alterations to land, with no significant environmental impacts identified. The City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning is the lead agency overseeing approval, and the entitlement process includes a Conditional Use Permit with the reference number ZA-2024-7857-CU2-SPPC-ALT. No federal procurement elements are present; the documentation pertains exclusively to local land use, environmental compliance, and zoning approvals. The project is governed by municipal codes and the Encino-Tarzana Community Plan, with no federal contract clauses, pricing, payment terms, delivery schedules, or evaluation criteria applicable. Key contacts include Abraham Lamontagne of the City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning and Ellen Castillo of Akerman, LLP, representing the applicant, Village Walk Tarzana A2, LLC. The site location is confirmed as 91356, and all approvals hinge on compliance with CEQA exemptions and local zoning requirements without the need for federal oversight or financial contracting mechanisms.
