ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: May 20, 2025
SUBJECT: Final Map and Agreements with Encanto Holdings, LP. And South Allen Partners, LLC Tract 7334 Phase 1.
Developer is requesting to enter into agreements so the final map for Tract 7334 Phase 1 located at the northeast corner of South Allen Road and Panama Lane can be approved and recorded (Ward 5).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Final Map, Private Improvement Agreement, and Landscape Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Per Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 16, “Subdivisions," Tentative Tract Map 7334 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 li mited to, streets, sewer, walls, and storm drain on or adjacent to the property being subdivided. Typically, if these improvements are not completed when the developer, Encanto Holdings, LP and South Allen Partners, LLC, wishes to record a portion of 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. In this case, because the improvements are located within a private tract, the developers is instead executing a Private Improvement Agreement for all internal improvements. 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 a Notice of Completion for the improvements is recorded by the City.
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 Private Improvement Agreement outlining the Developer’s responsibilities for onsite inf rastructure improvements, which typically accompanies approval of the final map, is also included and recommended for approval.
The Developer is required to construct a street segment along South Allen Road, north of Panama Lane.
Because the value of thes e improvements exceeds $500,000, the Developer enter ed into a Public Improvement Agreement PW-24-131 to ensure these offsite improvements are completed within the time frame and in the manner outlined in the agreement’s term.
The Landscape Improvement Agreement requires the Developer to complete the required landscape and irrigation improvements within the time frame and in the manner outlined in the agreement’s terms. A landscape agreement is required whenever the Developer desires to record their final m ap before the landscaping improvements are in.
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.
