ZA-2025-2232-ZV-CDP

The project involves seeking regulatory approval to maintain an existing single-family dwelling located at 1227 North Tellem Drive in Los Angeles, California, on a lot measuring 10,945 square feet, which is below the 15,000-square-foot minimum requirement for the RE15-1-H zoning district. No new construction, excavation, grading, or development is proposed; the sole objective is to obtain a Certificate of Compliance to legally continue the existing residential use on the substandard lot. The request is tied to Case No. AA-2025-2198-COC and falls under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a categorical exemption under Section 15301, Class 1, for the operation of existing facilities, with no unusual circumstances or exceptions applying. All regulatory actions are managed by the City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning, with approval contingent upon verification that the dwelling’s use remains unchanged and all fire hazard mitigation requirements, including brush clearance and landscaping standards, are met. The applicant, Cracked Heel, LLC, represented by John Parker of Crest Real Estate, must submit a certified exemption document to the City Planning Department, and all submissions are required to be mailed physically to the Los Angeles County Clerk/Recorder’s office in Norwalk, with no electronic submissions accepted. There is no formal contract, procurement value, or federal acquisition regulation clause structure involved; the process is purely a local land-use and environmental compliance proceeding without financial terms, performance schedules, delivery requirements, or federal contracting elements such as small business certifications, payment systems, or contracting officer representation. The solicitation identifier ZA-2025-2232-ZV-CDP serves as the administrative case reference, and the posted date of December 10, 2025, indicates a forecasted timeline with a 35-day statutory review window for public notice, followed by administrative approval decisions by the City Planner, Kenton Trinh.
