ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 13, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: April 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Final Map and Improvement Agreement with JP Land Development, LLC Tract 7296 Phase 2.
Developer is requesting to enter into an agreement so the final map for Tract 7296 Phase 2, located south side of Olive Drive, west of Rosedale Ranch Parkway can be approved and recorded (Ward 4).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Final Map and Improvement Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Per Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 16, “Subdivisions," Tentative Tract Map 7296 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. If these improvements are not completed when the developer, JP Land Development, 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 impr ovements 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 r esponsibilities 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
