ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 22, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: January 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Final Map and Improvement Agreement with Urban Land Advisors, LLC and Berkshire Properties, LLC for Tract 7401
Developer is requesting to enter into an agreement so the final map for Tract 7401 located on Berkshire Road between Ashe Road and Mountain Ridge Drive can be approved and recorded (Ward 7).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Final Map and Improvement Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Per Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 16, “Subdivisions," Tentative Tract Map 7401 was conditioned by the Planning Commission to require the construction of certain improvements within and adjacent to the tentative tract map, which include, but are not limited to, streets, sewer, walls, and storm drain on or adjacent to the property being subdivided. If these improvements are not completed when the developer, Urban Land Advisors, LLC and Owner, Berkshire Properties, LLC wishes to record the tentative tract map (through a final map), the developer must execute an improvement agreement through which the developer agrees to complete the construction of the improvements within one year of the date the agreement is executed. The City Engineer may extend the time to complete the improvements upon request. Certificates of Occupancy or final inspections will not be allowed for any building within the bounds of the final map until these required improvements are completed and accepted by the City of Bakersfield and a Notice of Completion for the improvements is recorded.
The Public Works Department has completed the review of the final map submitted by the Developer and is recommending that the Council approve the map. In addition, the Improvement Agreement outlining the Developer’s responsibilities for onsite infrastructure improvements, which typically accompanies approval of the final map, is also included and recommended for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no financial impact to the City. Proposed street improvements are being bonded for and included within the proposed improvement agreement.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Reliable infrastructure
