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 22, 2025
SUBJECT: Final Map and Agreements with TPG AG EHC III (LEN) CA 2, LP & Lennar Homes of California, LLC Tract 6880 Phase 3.
Developer is requesting to enter into agreements so the final map for Tract 6880 Phase 3 located at the northwest corner of McCutchen Road and Gosford Road can be approved and recorded (Ward 5).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Final Map, Improvement Agreement, and Landscape Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Per Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 16, “Subdivisions," Tentative Tract Map 6880 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, TPG AG EHC III (LEN) CA 2, LP & Lennar Homes of California, 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. 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.
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 r equired whenever the Developer desires to record their final map 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.
