FROM: Zachary, Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: November 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Final Map, Improvement Agreement, and Landscape Agreement with Summit Capital Ventures, Inc for Tract 7468 Phase 1
Developer is requesting to enter into an agreement so the final map for Tract 7468 Phase 1 is located on the Southwest corner of South Wegis Ave and Stockdale Ranch Drive can be approved and recorded (Ward 5).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend approval of the Final Map, Improvement Agreement and Landscape Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Per Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 16, “Subdivisions," Tentative Tract Map 7042 Phase 1 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 bei ng subdivided. If these improvements are not completed when the developer, Summit Capital Ventures, Inc., 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 no t 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 accomp anies 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 t he agreement’s terms. A landscape agreement is required 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 bei ng bonded for and included within the proposed improvement agreement.
COUNCIL GOAL:
The proposed map and agreement support City Council Goal # 3 Reliable infrastructure.
