RE: Proposed Retail – Southwest Corner Taft Highway & Ashe Road Is the proposed commercial needed or is there too much commercial within the project area?” From my market analysis perspective, the proposed commercial development at Taft Hwy and Ashe Road is prominently located within the highest residential growth sector of Bakersfield with growth on the North and South sides of Taft Hwy, our site is the heart of the growth. The number of homes under construction and neighborhoods pending development, has created demand for retail, food and other related services. The growth and increased demand have caught the attention of local, regional, and national tenants. The best option to satisfy the demand is Panama Lane, which is approximately 2 miles to the North.

The vacancy factor for Panama Lane for existing space is maybe 1%-2%. This is extremely low and proves the demand is high. As the neighborhoods are finished and occupied, Taft Hwy will serve as a major arterial for commuter traffic to and from Hwy 99 and I-5, putting our proposed development directly in the path of travel.

Also with the Kaiser Sports Complex is a regional draw for visitors, many from out of town staying for most of the day if not weekend. Those visitors best option for retail, food and other services, again travel to Panama Ln creating increased traffic and congestion on the surface streets between Panama Lane and Taft Hwy. Since our site is directly to the South, this is a perfect opportunity to fill that demand.

In addition, with our proposed R3 zone directly adjacent to our retail, we can directly service that demand.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD

PLANNING COMMISSION

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 16, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: TBD
TO: Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Jennie Eng, Assistant Planning Director
DATE: July 10, 2026
FILE: General Plan Amendment and Zone Change No. 23-0560 STAFF PLANNER: Ashley Knight, Assistant Planner
REQUEST: (1) An amendment of the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan land use designation from HMR (High Medium Residential) to HR (High Density Residential) and GC (General Commercial); and (2) a change in zone classification from R-2 (Single Lot Single-Unit Dwelling) to C-2 (Regional Commercial) and R-3 (Medium Density Multi-Unit Dwelling) zone (Ward 7).

APPLICANT: McIntosh and Associates OWNER: ATG Investment, LLC 10800 Stockdale Highway, Suite 103 6349 Houghton Road
Bakersfield, CA 93311 Bakersfield, CA 93313
PROJECT LOCATION: 9737 Ashe Road; at the southwest corner of Taft Highway and Ashe Road APN: 184-260-09
PROJECT SIZE: Approximately 24.86 acres CEQA: Mitigated Negative Declaration EXISTING GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: HMR (High Medium Residential) EXISTING ZONE CLASSIFICATION: R-2 (Single Lot Single-Unit Dwelling) STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of GPA/ZC No. 23-0560, its Mitigated Negative Declaration, and recommends the same to the City Council.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The project site is undeveloped land, except for petroleum-related pipeline and storage located in the southeast corner. Surrounding properties are primarily developed as: north – the Kaiser Permanente Sports Village; east– undeveloped land; south – fallowed farmland; and west – singlefamily residential and semi-truck parking.

File No. General Plan Amendment and Zone (GPA/ZC) No. 23-0560 BACKGROUND AND TIMELINE:
• July 18, 2008 - City Council approved the annexation of the project site to the City of Bakersfield as part of Annexation No. 576, Ashe No. 6 (Resolution 166-07).

PROJECT ANALYSIS:

General Plan Amendment/Zone Change (GPA/ZC).

The General Plan Amendment (“GPA”) and Zone Change (“ZC”) request submitted by Cornerstone Engineering Inc. (applicant), on behalf of David Gill (property owner) is (1) proposing a GPA to change the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan land use designation from HMR (High Medium Residential) to HR (High Density Residential) on 18.50acres and GC (General Commercial) on 6.36 acres; and (2) a change in zone classification from R-2 (Single Lot Single-Unit Dwelling) to R-3 (Medium Density Multi-Unit Dwelling) zone on 18.50 acres and C-2 (Regional Commercial) on 6.36 acres or a more restrictive zone on a total of approximately 24.86 acres to facilitate the development of multi-family residential and commercial retail. The project parcel is located on the southwest corner of Taft Highway and Ashe Road, in southwest Bakersfield [Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 184-260-09].

The project intends to develop 6.36 acres at the southwest corner of Taft Highway and Ashe Road.

Development along the Taft Highway frontage is subject to City Council Resolution No. 063-12, which requires certain design standards and policies along Taft Highway, such as an expressway width standard and a 30-foot-wide landscape parkway, and limited access. The southern 18.50 acres of the project site is proposed for a 499-unit multi-family residential development. No formal plans have been submitted, with the exception of preliminary conceptual plans. The residential density range for this zone is 6.1 to thirteen dwelling units per net acre, which is consistent with the proposed HMR designation of the project site.

In addition, the existing R-2 zoned parcel is not included within the City of Bakersfield 6th Cycle Housing Element Vacant Land Inventory and is therefore not subject to the No-Net-Loss state mandate, which would require the City of Bakersfield to retain the residential zoned parcel for potential future housing.

Since this parcel is not listed in the vacant land inventory, the City continues to ensure that residential development opportunities remain available even with the conversion of the existing residential zoned parcel to a commercial zone. The remaining sites that are identified in the City’s Housing Element sites inventory can accommodate the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).

Approve Zone Change as Requested. If the zone change is approved to C-2 and R-3 as requested, an application for site plan approval is required for future commercial and multi-family residential projects.

The project will be reviewed by the Site Plan Review (SPR) Committee, as listed below, for compliance with City development standards. The Development Services Director may then approve, conditionally approve, or deny the site plan. There is no requirement for Planning Commission consideration unless the Development Services Director’s decision is appealed.

CALIFORNIA STATE HOUSING BILLS:

Housing Accountability Act. The Housing Accountability Act, Government Code Section 65589.5, establishes limitations on a local government’s ability to deny, reduce the density of, or make infeasible housing development projects, emergency shelters, or farmworker housing that are consistent with objective local development standards and contribute to meeting housing need. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65589.5(3)(j), when a proposed housing development project complies with applicable, objective general plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria, including design review standards, in effect at the time that the application was deemed complete, but the local agency proposes to File No. General Plan Amendment and Zone (GPA/ZC) No. 23-0560 disapprove the project or to impose a condition that the project be developed at a lower density, the local agency shall base its decision regarding the proposed housing development project upon written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence on the record that both of the following conditions exist:

1. The housing development project would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety unless the project is disapproved or approved upon the condition that the project be developed at a lower density. As used in this paragraph, a “specific, adverse impact” means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete.

2. There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact identified pursuant to paragraph (1), other than the disapproval of the housing development project or the approval of the project upon the condition that it be developed at a lower density.

Regional Housing Needs Assessment. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) is a process mandated by California state law that requires jurisdictions to plan for new housing to accommodate projected growth. The RHNA assigns the number of housing units that the California State Housing and Community Development Agency (HCD) determines is necessary to build in an eight-year cycle for each jurisdiction, organized by affordability level. The project would contribute additional R-3 residential units on 18.5 acres to the City of Bakersfield’s 6th Housing Element Cycle from 2023 through 2031.

Compatibility with Land Use Element. Staff has reviewed the proposal for compatibility with the applicable goals and policies contained within the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan Land Use Element and finds the following:

Goal 2: Accommodate new development which provides a full mix of uses to support its population.

The project is consistent with this goal because the property owner determined the market is driving a need for multi-family residential within the project area. Additionally, the State encourages the densification of residential uses within cities throughout California.

Goal 3: Accommodate new development which is compatible with and complements existing land uses.

The project is consistent with this goal by providing multi-family residential housing densification to support the local population.

Goal 4: Accommodate new development which channels land uses in a phased, orderly manner and is coordinated with the provision of infrastructure and public improvements.

The necessary infrastructure and public improvements are available to accommodate multiple-family residential developments or, if the project is approved, will be developed through the fair-share payment of impact fees by the property owner. Therefore, the project is consistent with this goal.

Policy 2: Allow for the development of a variety of residential types and densities.

The project provides multiple-family land use within an area that predominantly consists of single-family residential use. Allowing multiple-family residential at the site would allow for the increased development of a variety of residential types and densities beyond the current condition. Therefore, the project is consistent with this policy.

File No. General Plan Amendment and Zone (GPA/ZC) No. 23-0560 Policy 3: Ensure that residential uses are located in proximity to commercial services, employment centers, public services, transportation routes, and recreational and cultural resources.

The proposed project site is across the street from the existing Kaiser Permanente Sports Village, along Taft Highway a major transportation route and one (1) mile from commercial services. There are nearby employment centers as well as others throughout the city that can be easily accessed via the existing circulation system.

Policy 75: Provide adequate land area for the expansion of existing uses and development of new uses consistent with the policies of the general plan.

The project site is located on existing residential land near residential land uses. Therefore, adequate land is available for the project, and the project expands existing residential land uses at a different density.

Therefore, the project is consistent with this policy.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), staff has reviewed the potential environmental impacts of the project. The Initial Study was based on the following project-specific analysis and technical studies: Air Quality Impact Analysis; Phase I Cultural Resource Survey; Biological Resource Evaluation; Trip Generation and Vehicle Miles Travel Analysis.

The initial study determined that compliance with the recommended mitigation measures, local ordinances, state laws, and construction to the standards of the Uniform Building Codes will reduce impacts to a less- than-significant level. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared for this project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The MND was circulated for a 30-day public and agency review period starting March 30, 2026, through April 28, 2026 (SCH No. 2026031051).

Comments Received. One comment letter was submitted by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD). SJVAPCD’s comments and staff’s response are as follows:

1. SJVAPCD suggested that the City consider incorporating vegetative barriers and urban greening to help reduce air pollution exposure to nearby sensitive receptors and improve community aesthetics.

Response: Staff acknowledged this recommendation. Landscaping and site design elements will be reviewed through the development review process in accordance with applicable City standards. The project proponent was advised of this recommendation.

2. SJVAPCD recommended consideration of electric lawn and garden equipment and participation in available District incentive programs to reduce emissions associated with landscape maintenance.

Response: Staff acknowledged this recommendation and advised the project proponent of available District incentive programs related to electric landscaping equipment.

3. SJVAPCD suggested incorporating on-site solar power systems as an emission reduction strategy consistent with state renewable energy goals.

File No. General Plan Amendment and Zone (GPA/ZC) No. 23-0560 Response: Staff acknowledged this recommendation. Installation of solar energy systems may be incorporated at the discretion of the project proponent and in accordance with applicable building and energy code requirements. The project proponent was advised of this recommendation.

4. SJVAPCD recommended the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and noted the availability of District incentive programs to support charging equipment.

Response: Staff acknowledged this recommendation. Electric vehicle charging infrastructure will be provided in accordance with applicable state and local requirements. The project proponent was advised of available District incentive programs.

5. SJVAPCD noted that the project may be subject to applicable District rules and permitting requirements, including Rules 2010, 2201, 9510, 4002, 4601, Regulation VIII, Rule 4901, and other applicable District regulations
Response: Staff noted that compliance with all applicable San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District rules, regulations, permits, and mitigation requirements is required. The project proponent was advised of these requirements.

6. SJVAPCD indicated that the project is subject to District Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review) and stated that an Air Impact Assessment application should be submitted to the District.

Response: Staff acknowledged this recommendation. Compliance with District Rule 9510 and any associated Air Impact Assessment requirements will be addressed directly with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The project proponent was advised accordingly.

7. SJVAPCD recommended that a copy of the District’s comment letter be provided to the project proponent.

Response: Staff acknowledges this recommendation. A copy of the District’s comment letter has been provided to the project proponent.

Environmental Conclusion. The State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Bakersfield’s CEQA Implementation Procedures have been followed in the evaluation of the environmental effects of this project. With mitigation, significant environmental impacts were not identified for the proposed project.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

Public notice for the proposed project and environmental determination was advertised in The Bakersfield Californian and posted on the bulletin board in the City of Bakersfield City Hall North, 1600 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, California. All property owners within 300 feet of the project site were notified by United States Postal Service mail regarding this public hearing in accordance with city ordinance and state law. Signs are required as part of the public notification process and must be posted between 20 to 60 days before the public hearing date. Photographs of the posted signage and the Declaration of Posting Public Hearing Notice signed by the applicant are on file at the Planning Division.

Comments Received. As of this writing, no comments have been received.

File No. General Plan Amendment and Zone (GPA/ZC) No. 23-0560 Tribal Consultation. In compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 18, staff mailed a letter on March 10, 2025, notifying the American Indian Tribes of the proposed project and location of the site. The notice starts the 90-day consultation period required under SB 18. As of this writing, no tribal consultation has been requested.

CONCLUSIONS:

Consistency with Surrounding Development. The project would provide for an increase in density for residential use to complement the existing single-family residential development in the area.

Consistency with General Plan/Zoning Ordinance. The proposal is consistent with land use goals and policies as contained in the General Plan related to multi-family development, as noted above. As conditioned, the site plan review is required to comply with requirements and regulations as set forth in the Bakersfield Municipal Code Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance) and City Development Standards.

Recommendation. Staff finds that the applicable provisions of CEQA have been complied with, and the proposal is compatible with the surrounding area, land use designation, and zoning ordinance.

Therefore, staff recommends your Commission: (1) Adopt Resolution ADOPTING Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to Section 15074 of the California Environmental Quality Act; (2) Adopt Resolution APPROVING the general plan amendment to change the land use designation from HMR (High Medium Residential) to HR (High Density Residential) and GC (General Commercial) and (3) Adopt Resolution APPROVING change in zone classification from R-2 (Single Lot Single-Unit Dwelling) to C-2 (Regional Commercial) and R-3 (Medium Density Multi-Unit Dwelling) zone to facilitate the development of multifamily residential and commercial retail.

NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The City of Bakersfield’s Development Services Department, Planning Division, has completed an initial study (attached) of the possible environmental effects of the following-described project and has determined that a Negative Declaration is appropriate. It has been found that the proposed project, as described and proposed to be mitigated (if required), will not have a significant effect on the environment. This determination has been made according to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Bakersfield’s CEQA Implementation Procedures.

PROJECT NO. (or Title): General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. 23-0560 COMMENT PERIOD BEGINS: March 30, 2026
COMMENT PERIOD ENDS: April 28, 2026
MITIGATION MEASURES (included in the proposed project to avoid potentially significant effects, if required):

Air Quality Impact Mitigation Measures:

1. Prior to grading plan approval, the applicant/developer shall submit documentation to the Planning Division that they are compliant with air quality control measures and rules required by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The documentation shall specify that the Project has complied with the SJVAPCD’ Indirect Source Rule (Rule 9510).

Biological Resources Impact Mitigation Measures:

2. Prior to ground disturbance and/or construction activities, the applicant/developer shall consult with and follow all California Department of Fish and Wildlife and United States Fish and Wildlife Service requirements related to listed plants and animal species protected under the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) and the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). Applicant/developer shall have a qualified professional conduct and prepare a biological resource clearance survey no less than 14 days and no more than 30 days prior to the beginning of ground disturbance and/or construction activities for the detection of listed, or otherwise special-status species, likely to be impacted by any project-related activity. a. If known or natal dens are detected during the survey, protective measures enumerated in the USFWS Standardized Recommendations for Protection of Endangered San Joaquin Kit Fox Prior to or During Ground Disturbance (2011) shall be initiated. If the identified dens are unavoidable, pursuant to the guidelines, the CDFW and USFWS shall be contacted for additional guidance and take authorization. b. If ground-disturbing activities are planned during the nesting season for migratory birds that may nest on or near the site (generally February 1 through August 31), nesting bird surveys are recommended prior to the commencement of ground disturbance for project activities. If nesting birds are present, no new construction or ground disturbance should occur within an appropriate avoidance area for that species until young have fledged, unless otherwise approved and monitored by a qualified onsite biologist. Appropriate avoidance should be determined by a qualified biologist. In general, minimum avoidance zones for active nests should be implemented as follows: 1) ground or low-shrub nesting nonraptors – 300 feet (91 meters); 2) burrowing owl – as appropriate based on nest location, existing surrounding activity, and evaluation of owl behavior. Coordination with CDFW may be warranted. 3) Sensitive raptors (e.g., prairie falcon, golden eagle) – 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers); 3) other raptors – 500 feet (152 meters).

Cultural Resources Impact Mitigation Measures:

3. Prior to construction and as needed throughout the construction period, a cultural awareness training program shall be provided to all new construction workers within one week of employment at the project site. The training shall be prepared and conducted by a qualified cultural resources specialist.

4. If buried paleontological or cultural resources are encountered during construction or ground disturbance activities, all work within 50 feet of the find shall immediately cease and the area cordoned off until a qualified cultural and/or paleontological resource specialist that meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards can evaluate the findings and make recommendations. If the specialist determines that the discovery represents a potentially significant resource, additional investigations may be required. These additional studies may include avoidance, testing, and excavation. All reports, correspondence, and determinations regarding the discovery shall be submitted to the California Historical Resources Information System’s Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center at California State University Bakersfield.

5. During construction, if human remains are discovered, further ground disturbance shall be prohibited pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5. The specific protocol, guidelines, and channels of communication outlined by the Native American Heritage Commission, in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, Public Resources Code 5097.97, and Senate Bill 447 shall be followed. In the event of the discovery of human remains, at the direction of the county coroner, Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5© shall guide Native American consultation.

Traffic Impact Mitigation Measures:

6. Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project applicant shall participate in the Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) program by paying the adopted fees in place for the land use type at time of development.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Public Hearings TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: August 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Public hearing to consider Planning Commission’s approval of General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. 25-0008 and its proposed mitigated negative declaration. (Ward 4)
Cornerstone Engineering, Inc. (applicant), on behalf of Calloway North Investors LLC (property owner), is proposing a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on approximately 10.44 acres generally located on the east side of Calloway Drive between Tortuga Del Mar Drive and Snow Road. The request includes:

1. Resolution adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

2. Resolution adopting General Plan Amendment to change land use designation from R-IA (Resource – Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low Density Residential).

3. First Reading of an ordinance amending Title 17 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the official zoning classification from County A (Exclusive Agriculture) to City R-1 (Single-Unit Dwelling).

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff and the Planning Commission recommend adoption of the resolutions and first reading of the ordinance.

BACKGROUND:

The project is a request submitted by Cornerstone Engineering Inc. (applicant), on behalf of Calloway North Investors LLC (property owner), proposing (1) a GPA to change the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan land use designation from R-IA (Resource – Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low Density Residential) or a more restrictive designation; and (2) proposing a pre-zoning change in from County A (Exclusive Agriculture) to City R-1 (Single-Unit Dwelling) or a more restrictive zone on approximately 10.44 acres.

The project also proposes an annexation (PP-ANX-25-0014) to the City of Bakersfield and Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM 7522) to develop 39 single-family residential parcels to construct single-family dwellings which is consistent with the proposed LR designation and R-1 zone for the project site.

Project Summary:

A city must pre-zone unincorporated territory that the city expects to annex in the future, or present evidence satisfactory to LAFCo that the existing development entitlements on the territory are vested or are already at buildout and are consistent with the city’s general plan. The proposed zoning must be consistent with the City’s general plan and a public hearing must be held. LAFCo may not, however, dictate the specific zoning to be applied by the City. There are two advantages to pre-zoning. First, the City will have zoning in effect immediately upon annexation. Residents will thereby have prior knowledge of the land use regulations that would affect them should annexation occur. Second, pre-zoning serves as notice to the LAFCo of the City’s intentions regarding its adjacent areas.

As such, upon annexation of the territory, the City is restricted for a period of two years after the annexation’s effective date from amending the general plan designation and zoning for the territory that is a departure from the pre-zoning. This restriction may be waived if the City makes a finding at a public hearing that a substantial change has occurred in circumstances that necessitate a departure from the pre-zoning. To be effective, the pre-zoning must be consistent with the City’s general plan. It should be noted that none of the identified parcels are within a physical constraint or hazard area that would impede sustainable development.

Environmental Review and Determination:

Staff prepared an initial study to review the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. The Initial Study determined that compliance with recommended mitigation measures, local ordinances, state laws, and construction to the standards of the Uniform Building Codes will reduce impacts to a less-thansignificant level. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) was prepared for this project in accordance with CEQA. The MND was circulated for a 30-day public and agency review period from January 21, 2026, through February 19, 2026 (SCH No. 2026010517).

The State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Bakersfield’s CEQA Implementation Procedures have been followed in the evaluation of the environmental effects of this project. Significant environmental impacts beyond those identified in the EIR were not identified within staff analysis.

Comments Received. As of this writing, one comment letter has been received in response to the Initial Study by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) concurring with the mitigation measures stated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Public Notification:

Public notice for the proposed project and environmental determination was advertised in The Bakersfield Californian and posted on the bulletin board in the City Hall North, 1600 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, California. All property owners within 300 feet of the project site were notified by United States Postal Service mail regarding this public hearing in accordance with City ordinance and state law.

Compatibility with Land Use Element:

Staff has reviewed the proposal for compatibility with the applicable goals and policies contained within the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan Land Use Element and finds the following:

Goal 2: Accommodate new development which provides a full mix of uses to support its population.

The project is consistent with this goal because the property owner determined the market is driving a need for single-family residential within the project area. Additionally, the State encourages the increase in density of residential uses within cities throughout California.

Goal 3: Accommodate new development which is compatible with and complements existing land uses.

The project is consistent with this goal by providing single-family residential housing density intensification to support the local population.

Goal 4: Accommodate new development which channels land uses in a phased, orderly manner and is coordinated with the provision of infrastructure and public improvements. The necessary infrastructure and public improvements are available to accommodate single-family residential developments or, if the project is approved, will be developed through the fair-share payment of impact fees by the property owner. Therefore, the project is consistent with this goal.

Policy 2: Allow for the development of a variety of residential types and densities.

The project provides single-family land use within an area that predominantly consists of single-family residential use. Allowing single-family residential at the site would allow for the increased development of a variety of residential types and densities beyond the current condition. Therefore, the project is consistent with this policy.

Policy 3: Ensure that residential uses are located in proximity to commercial services, employment centers, public services, transportation routes, and recreational and cultural resources.

The proposed project site is one (1) mile from commercial services. There are nearby employment centers as well as others throughout the city that can be easily accessed via the existing circulation system.

Planning Commission Action:

The project was considered by the Planning Commission on April 16, 2026. No individuals or agencies were present at the hearing that opposed the request. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the project to the City Council. Two Commissioners were absent. The Planning Commission’s findings are contained in Resolution Nos. 39-26, 40-26, and 41-26.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The action to approve the zone change and general plan amendment only allows for this to move forward the, thus the action has no impact fiscal impact. However, the ultimate development of the site, if the developer continues to develop to its full land use economic potential it will have a positive impact on generating revenue for the City General Fund.

f. Vertical sided trenching deeper than 2-feet will include escape ramps at no more than a 1:1 ratio every 100 feet;
g. Vertical sided holes that are not capable of being ramped should be covered or otherwise secured to the greatest extent practicable;

If nesting birds are present, no new construction or ground disturbance should occur within an appropriate avoidance area for that species until young have fledged, unless otherwise approved and monitored by a qualified onsite biologist. Appropriate avoidance should be determined by a qualified biologist. In general, minimum avoidance zones for active nests should be implemented as follows:
k. Ground or low-shrub nesting non-raptors – 300 feet (91 meters). l. Burrowing owl – as appropriate based on nest location, existing surrounding activity, and evaluation of owl behavior. Coordination with CDFW may be warranted. m. Sensitive raptors (e.g., prairie falcon, golden eagle) – 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers). n. Other raptors – 500 feet (152 meters).

Cultural Resources Impact Mitigation Measures:

4. Prior to construction and as needed throughout the construction period, a cultural awareness training program shall be provided to all new construction workers within one week of employment at the project site. The training shall be prepared and conducted by a qualified cultural resources specialist.

COMMENT PERIOD ENDS: February 19, 2026
MITIGATION MEASURES (included in the proposed project to avoid potentially significant effects, if required):

Air Quality Impact Mitigation Measures:

Biological Resources Impact Mitigation Measures:

3. Prior to ground disturbance and/or construction activities, the applicant/developer shall consult with and follow all California Department of Fish and Wildlife and United States Fish and Wildlife Service requirements related to listed plant and animal species protected under the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) and the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). Applicant/developer shall have a qualified professional biologist conduct and prepare the following:
a. A biological resource pre-activity clearance survey conducted by a qualified biologist no more than 30-days before the start of construction activities;
b. Biological resource monitoring during each initial phase of ground disturbance; c. Compliance reporting provided to the required oversight agencies for all biological resource field surveys, monitoring, and additional tasks as warranted; d. Conduct a Worker Environmental Awareness Program outlining special-status species that may access, use or otherwise transverse the project area will be implemented; e. If known or natal SJKF dens are identified at any time during construction, protocols enumerated in the USFWS Standardized Recommendations for Protection of the Endangered San Joaquin Kit Fox prior to or During Ground Disturbance (2011) should be implemented, and the appropriate agencies contacted for guidance;

h. Pipes, conduits and similar material 3 inches or greater should be capped to prevent wildlife from becoming inadvertently trapped in the piping;
i. The project is also within the historic range of Tipton kangaroo rat. The project was not included in the southwest focus area for the species in the previous habitat conservation plan. The most recent habitat suitability modeling (Cypher 2021) does not include the project in any of the four tiers enumerated for suitability. Trapping would be required to confirm small mammal species occupying the project.
j. The protection of bird species that may occur on the project site or vicinity in compliance with the MBTA, should follow the following: If ground-disturbing activities are planned during the nesting season for migratory birds that may nest on or near the project site (generally February 1 though August 31), nesting bird surveys are recommended prior to the commencement of ground disturbance for project activities. If nesting birds are present, no new construction or ground disturbance should occur within an appropriate avoidance area for that species until young have fledged, unless otherwise approved and monitored by a qualified onsite biologist. Appropriate avoidance should be determined by a qualified biologist. In general, minimum avoidance zones for active nests should be implemented as follows:
k. Ground or low-shrub nesting non-raptors – 300 feet (91 meters). l. Burrowing owl – as appropriate based on nest location, existing surrounding activity, and evaluation of owl behavior. Coordination with CDFW may be warranted.
m. Sensitive raptors (e.g., prairie falcon, golden eagle) – 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers). n. Other raptors – 500 feet (152 meters).

Geology and Soils, Cultural Resources, and Tribal Resources Impacts Mitigation Measures:

5. During construction, if paleontological or cultural resources are encountered during construction or ground disturbance activities, all work within 50 feet of the find shall immediately cease and the area cordoned off until a qualified cultural and/or paleontological resource specialist that meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards can evaluate the find and make recommendations. If the specialist determines that the discovery represents a potentially significant cultural resource, additional investigations may be required. These additional studies may include avoidance, testing, and excavation. All reports, correspondence, and determinations regarding the discovery shall be submitted to the California Historical Resources Information System’s Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center at California State University Bakersfield.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:

As indicated by the checklist on the following pages, the project would result in potentially significant impacts with respect to the environmental factors checked below (Impacts reduced to a less than significant level through the incorporation of mitigation are not considered potentially significant.):
□ Aesthetics □ Agricultural Resources □ Air Quality
□ Biological Resources □ Cultural Resources □ Geology / Soils □ Greenhouse Gas Emissions □ Hazards & Hazardous Materials □ Hydrology / Water Quality □ Land Use / Planning □ Mineral Resources □ Noise
□ Population / Housing □ Public Services □ Recreation
□ Transportation / Traffic □ Utilities / Service Systems □ Mandatory Findings of Significance
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

On the basis of this initial evaluation:
□ I find that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment, and a negative declaration will be prepared.
■ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A mitigated negative declaration will be prepared. □ I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, and an environmental impact report is required.
□ I find that the proposed project may have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect has been (1) adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on the attached sheets. An environmental impact report is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. □ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects have been (1) analyzed adequately in an earlier environmental impact report or negative declaration pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier environmental impact report or negative declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4) “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, “Earlier Analyses,” may be crossreferenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,” describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant.

I. AESTHETICS: Would the project:
a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcrops, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
c. In nonurbanized areas, substantially degrade the
existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the Project
conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations
governing scenic quality?
d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the
area?
Discussion
a. Less-than-significant impact. The project is located within City limits on the east side of Calloway Drive between Tortuga Del Mar Drive and Snow Road. The existing visual environment in the area consists of a large estate property containing two single-family homes. It is bordered by singlefamily residences to the north, east, and south, with a condominium complex located to the west.

The project does not conflict with any applicable vista protection standards, scenic resource protection requirements, or design criteria of federal, state, or local agencies. The project site is located within an area having slopes of 0 to 2 % in any direction. The area is not regarded or designated within the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan as visually important or “scenic.” The construction of single-family residential uses at the site would be in character and compatible with existing urban land uses in the vicinity and is a natural extension of the urban growth occurring in the project area. Therefore, the project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista, and impacts are less than significant.
b. Less-than-significant impact. There are few trees and no rock outcrops. One cultural resource was identified as a dilapidated and partially dismantled two-story ranch house. The house pre-dates 1930 and has been partially dismantled due to asbestos contamination. It is not eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources under any qualifying criteria. Additionally, the project site is not located adjacent to or near any officially designated or potentially eligible scenic highways to be listed on the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) State Scenic Highway System (Caltrans 2017). The closest section of highway eligible for state scenic highway designation is State Route (SR) 14 (Caltrans 2017), located in Kern County over 60 miles to the east.

Therefore, the project would not substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcrops, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway. Therefore, the project would not have a substantial adverse effect to a historic building within a state scenic highway and impacts are less than significant.

c. Less-than-significant impact. Please refer to responses I.a, I.b, and I.d. As described, the project is located within an urbanized area and is contiguous to existing and newly developed land uses.

There are no local vista protection standards, scenic resource protection requirements, or design criteria that apply to the project. Therefore, the project would not conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality in urbanized areas, and impacts are less than significant.
d. Less-than-significant impact. This project involves incremental urban growth within the City of Bakersfield’s jurisdiction. This project would be required to comply with City development standards, including Bakersfield Municipal Code Title 17 (zoning ordinance), Title 15 (buildings and construction), and California Code of Regulations Title 24 (building code). Together, these local and state requirements oblige compliance with current lighting standards that minimize unwanted light or glare to spill over into neighboring properties. Therefore, the project would not create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area, and impacts are less than significant.

II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES:

In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
a. Convert prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance (farmland), as shown on the
maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency,
to non-agricultural use?
b. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?
c. Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)) or timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526) or timberland zoned Timberland
Production (as defined by Government Code section
51104(g))?
d. Result in the loss of forestland or conversion of forest land to non-forest?
e. Involve other changes in the existing environment
which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use or
conversion of forest land to non-forest use?

Discussion
a. No impact. The project site is not designated by the California Department of Conservation as prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance. Therefore, the project would not result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use. b. Less-than-significant impact. The project site is currently zoned A (Agricultural) for agricultural uses.

The project site was previously utilized for farming operations which have cease to operate and now only the remains of two-dilapidated single-family ranch homes, a dilapidated barn structure, accessory working buildings, and animal corral fencing. The majority of surrounding parcels are zoned residential and will therefore be consistent with adjacent residential properties. Therefore, the project site is not under a Williamson Act contract and the project will not conflict with zoning or agricultural uses, andimpacts will be less than significant. c. No impact. As discussed in II.b, the project site is zoned for agricultural uses. No lands within or immediately adjacent to the project site are zoned forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production. Therefore, the project would not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land or timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production. d. No impact. As discussed in II.c, no lands within or immediately adjacent to the project are zoned forest land or timberland and do not contain any forested areas. Therefore, the project would not result in the loss of forestland or conversion of forest land to non-forest. e. No impact. Please refer to responses II.a through II.d. This project proposes residential uses in an area designated for urban development by the General Plan. There are no forestlands in proximity to the project that would experience conflicts in operation due to the proposed development.

Therefore, the project would not involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use.

III. AIR QUALITY:

Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following
determinations. Would the project:
a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
b. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the Project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?

d. Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
Discussion
a. Less-than-significant impact with mitigation incorporated. The project is located within the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) jurisdiction, in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB). As such, air quality impacts from the project are controlled through policies and provisions of the SJVAPCD and the General Plan. The SJVAPCD has adopted an Air Quality Attainment Plan (AQAP) and is required to submit a “Rate of Progress” document to the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) that demonstrates past and planned progress toward reaching attainment for all criteria pollutants.

The SJVAB is classified by the state as being in severe nonattainment for the state 1-hour ozone standard as well as in nonattainment for the state particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10) and particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5). The SJVAB is also classified as extreme nonattainment for the federal 8-hour ozone standard, nonattainment for the federal PM2.5 standard, and attainment/maintenance for the federal carbon monoxide (CO) and PM10 standards.

The SJVAPCD requires local jurisdictions to design all developments in ways that reduce air pollution from vehicles, which is the largest single category of air pollution in the San Joaquin Valley, and from other stationary sources. The Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI) (SJVAPCD 2015) lists various land uses and design strategies that reduce air quality impacts of new development. Local ordinance and General Plan requirements related to landscaping, sidewalks, street improvements, level of traffic service, energy-efficient heating and cooling, building code requirements, and location of commercial development in proximity to residential development are consistent with these listed strategies. Regulation and policy that will result in the compliance with air quality strategies for the new commercial development include but are not limited to, Title 24 efficiency standards, Title 20 appliance energy efficiency standards, 2005 building energy efficiency standards, Assembly Bill (AB) 1493 motor vehicle standards, and compliance with the MBGP Air Quality Conservation Element as well as the SJVAPCD air quality guidelines and rules.

An Air Quality Impact Analysis, provided by Envirotech Consultants, was completed for the project. The report includes California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) emissions estimates, criteria pollutant analysis, and GHG analysis. The report concluded that mass emissions of criteria pollutants from the construction and operation of the proposed project are below the SJVAPCD’s established emissions impact thresholds.

As shown in the table below, the SJVAPCD has established the following specific criteria for pollutant thresholds of significance:

Construction of the project would result in air pollutant emissions. Emissions from construction would result from fuel combustion and exhaust from equipment, as well as vehicle traffic, grading, and the use of toxic materials (e.g., lubricants). The following table provides estimated construction emissions from the project. It was assumed in developing construction emission calculations that the implementation of effective and comprehensive dust control measures under Regulation VIII – PM10 Fugitive Prohibitions – would be used during construction.

The following table provides the estimated construction emissions from the project:

Source: Envirotech Consultants Air Quality Impact Analysis 2025 As shown in the above table, construction emissions are not predicted to exceed SJVAPCD significance threshold levels.

Project operations would also result in air pollutant emissions. The main source of emissions would be from vehicular traffic associated with the project site. The following table provides estimated operational emissions from the project:

PM2.5 0.06 0.06 15 Less Than Sig.

Source: Envirotech Consultants Air Quality Impact Analysis 2025 As shown in the above table, operational emissions are not predicted to exceed SJVAPCD significance threshold levels.

With the implementation of Mitigation Measure 1, the project would not conflict with, or obstruct the implementation of, the applicable air quality plan. Mitigation Measure 2 requires that the necessary fees be paid to the SJVAPCD. With the implementation of Mitigation Measures 1 and 2, the project would not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of the applicable air quality plan. Therefore, the project would not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of the applicable air quality plan, and impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporated. b. Less-than-significant impact. Under the SJVAPCD’s GAMAQI, any project that would have individually significant air quality impacts would also be considered to have significant cumulative air quality impacts. Impacts of local pollutants are cumulatively significant when the combined emissions from the project and other planned projects exceed air quality standards. The following table shows the project’s contribution to cumulative emissions calculated for both Kern County and the greater SJVAB:

Cumulative Emissions
Emissions Inventory Pollutants (tons/year)
ROG NOX PM10
Kern County 20,327 8,340 14,761
SJVAB 104,375 38,048 99,276
Project 4.28 1.28 4.42
Project’s % of Kern 0.021% 0.015% 0.030%
Project’s % of SJVAB 19.47% 21.92% 14.87%
Source: CARB 2025b
As shown in the above table, the project does not pose a significant increase to estimated cumulative emissions for criteria pollutants in nonattainment within Kern County and the greater SJVAB. The project’s regional contribution to cumulative impacts would be negligible (well less than 1% for all pollutants under consideration) and does not pose a substantial increase to basin emissions. Therefore, the project’s contribution is not cumulatively considerable.

Additionally, the GAMAQI, citing CEQA Guidelines Section15064(h)(3), states on page 66 that “[a] Lead Agency may determine that a project’s incremental contribution to a cumulative effect is not cumulatively considerable if the project will comply with the requirements in a previously approved plan or mitigation program, including, but not limited to an air quality attainment or maintenance plan that provides specific requirements that will avoid or substantially lessen the cumulative problem within the geographic area in which the project is located” (SJVAPCD 2015).

This project would also be required, when applicable, to follow air quality control measures and rules required by the SJVAPCD, which include, but are not limited to, SJVAPCD Rule 2010 (Permits Required), SJVAPCD Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review Rule), SJVAPCD Rule 4102 (Nuisance), and SJVAPCD Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Rule), each of which is discussed below. l:'11

SJVAPCD Rule 2010 requires any person constructing, altering, replacing, or operating any source operation that emits, may emit, or may reduce emissions to obtain an Authority to Construct or a Permit to Operate from the SJVAPCD Air Pollution Control Officer (APCO). The project will comply with this rule by obtaining authorization from APCO before commencing construction on the project.

SJVAPCD Rule 2201 requires review and offset of stationary sources of air pollution and no net increase in emissions above specified thresholds from new and modified stationary sources of all nonattainment pollutants and their precursors. This is achieved by using mechanisms as approved by the SJVAPCD, such as emission trade-offs by which a permit to construct or operate any source of pollution is granted. The project will comply with this rule by demonstrating compliance when obtaining authorization from APCO under Rule 2010. For example, compliance with Rule 2201 may include using Best Available Control Technology and providing emission offsets.

SJVAPCD Rule 4102 protects the health and safety of the public by prohibiting discharge from any source whatsoever of air contaminants that cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or other annoyance to any considerable number of people. The project will comply with this rule by not discharging air contaminants or other materials, which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or other annoyance to any considerable number of people.

SJVAPCD Rule 9510 requires the reduction of emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and particulate matter smaller than ten microns in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) associated with construction and operational activities of development projects occurring within the San Joaquin Valley. Rule 9510 applies to new development projects that would equal or exceed specific size limits called applicability thresholds (e.g., developing more than 2,000 square feet of commercial space, 25,000 square feet of multi-family housing space, 10,000 square feet of heavy industrial space, or 50 residential units). The project is subject to SJVAPCD Rule 9510 because it exceeds the applicability threshold for developing more than 25,000 square feet of 50 residential units.

Accordingly, the project must reduce a portion of the emissions occurring during construction and operational phases through on-site measures or pay off-site mitigation fees. The objective of this rule is to reduce construction NOX and PM10 emissions by 20% and 45%, respectively, as well as to reduce operational NOX and PM10 emissions by 33.3% and 50%, respectively, when compared to unmitigated projects. The SJVAPCD uses CalEEMOD (California Emission Estimator Model) to estimate emissions of NOX and PM10 for potential land uses. Examples of measures that may be implemented to reduce emissions under this rule include but are not limited to, incorporating energy efficiency beyond Title 24 requirements, providing bicycle lanes throughout a project, using cleaner fleet construction vehicles, providing employee incentives for using alternative transportation, and building in proximity to existing or planned bus stops. When a development project cannot reduce its NOX and PM10 emissions to the level required by Rule 9510, then the difference must be mitigated through the payment of an off-site emissions reduction fee. One hundred percent (100%) of all off-site mitigation fees are used by the SJVAPCD to fund emission reduction projects through its Incentives Programs, achieving emission reductions on behalf of the project.

Because the air quality modeling indicates that the project’s regional contribution to cumulative impacts would be negligible, and the project would comply with the requirements of the SJVAPCD attainment plans and rules, the project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. Therefore, based on these anticipated activity levels, the project construction activities would not exceed construction thresholds, and impacts are less than significant.

c. Less-than-significant impact. Some groups of people are more affected by air pollution than others. CARB has identified the following people who are likely to be affected by air pollution:
children under 14; the elderly over 65; athletes; and people with cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases. These groups are classified as sensitive receptors. Locations that may contain a high concentration of these sensitive population groups include residential areas, hospitals, daycare facilities, elder care facilities, elementary schools, and parks.

The majority of the potential ambient air quality emissions from this proposed project are related to increases in mobile source emissions. The proposed project is not expected to result in localized impacts, such as CO “Hot Spots”, and therefore, is not expected to impact nearby sensitive receptors. Therefore, the impact to sensitive receptors is considered less than significant with mitigation.
a. Less-than-significant impact. The proposed Project consists of residential uses that do not include activities listed in Table 6 of the SJVAPCD’s GAMAQI. Therefore, the Project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people, and impacts are less than significant.

Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
Discussion
a. Less-than significant with mitigation incorporated.

The project site has the potential to result in significant impacts to some special-status wildlife species. A single San Joaquin Kit Fox was recorded at a “known” den observed on the project during the field study conducted by Pruett Biological Resource Consulting, Inc., 2025.

The project is subject to the terms of Section 10(a)(1)(b) and Section 2081 permits issued by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (“CDFW”), respectively. Terms of these permits require applicants for all development projects within the plan area to comply directly with requests of the USFWS and the CDFW.

Direct and indirect impacts, in the form of “incidental take” of a threatened, endangered, or otherwise protected species, is expected to occur as a result of the development of the proposed project. A single SJKF was recorded at a “known” den observed on the project during the field study. Take of SJKF “natal” and “known” dens requires state and federal authorization.

Consultation with state and federal agencies is recommended prior to initial ground disturbance to fully comply with FESA, CESA, and CEQA. State and federal agencies will determine the Avoidance and Mitigation Measures required for take authorization. These measures include, but may not be limited to:
• A biological resource pre-activity survey conducted by a qualified biologist no more that 30-days before the start of construction activities,
• Biological resource monitoring during each initial phase of ground disturbance, • Compliance reporting provided to the required oversight agencies for all biological resource field surveys, monitoring, and additional tasks as warranted. • A Worker Environmental Awareness Program outlining special-status species that may access, use or otherwise transverse the project area will be implemented. • If known or natal SJKF dens are identified at any time during construction, protocols enumerated in the USFWS Standardized Recommendations for Protection of the Endangered San Joaquin Kit Fox prior to or During Ground Disturbance (2011) should be implemented, and the appropriate agencies contacted for guidance. • Vertical sided trenching deeper than 2-feet will include escape ramps at no more than a 1:1 ratio every 100 feet.
• Vertical sided holes that are not capable of being ramped should be covered or otherwise secured to the greatest extent practicable.
• Pipes, conduits and similar material 3 inches or greater should be capped to prevent wildlife from becoming inadvertently trapped in the piping.

The project is also within the historic range of Tipton kangaroo rat. The project was not included in the southwest focus area for the species in the previous habitat conservation plan. The most recent habitat suitability modeling (Cypher 2021) does not include the project in any of the four tiers enumerated for suitability. Trapping would be required to confirm small mammal species occupying the project.

The protection of bird species that may occur on the project site or vicinity in compliance with the MBTA, should follow the following: If ground-disturbing activities are planned during the nesting season for migratory birds that may nest on or near the project site (generally February 1 though August 31), nesting bird surveys are recommended prior to the commencement of ground disturbance for project activities. If nesting birds are present, no new construction or ground 1:1

disturbance should occur within an appropriate avoidance area for that species until young have fledged, unless otherwise approved and monitored by a qualified onsite biologist. Appropriate avoidance should be determined by a qualified biologist. In general, minimum avoidance zones for active nests should be implemented as follows:
• Ground or low-shrub nesting non-raptors – 300 feet (91 meters). • Burrowing owl – as appropriate based on nest location, existing surrounding activity, and evaluation of owl behavior. Coordination with CDFW may be warranted. • Sensitive raptors (e.g., prairie falcon, golden eagle) – 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers). • Other raptors – 500 feet (152 meters).

Therefore, with the implementation of mitigation measure 3 the project would not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by CDFW or USFWS, and impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
b. No impact. There is no riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities located at the site (Pruett Biological Resource Evaluation 2025). This project is not located within, or adjacent to, the Kern River riparian habitat area, nor within the Kern River flood plain, or along a canal that has been identified by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service as a corridor for native resident wildlife species. Therefore, the project would not have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community.
c. No impact. There are no wetlands, as defined by Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA), located at the project site or within or near the site. Therefore, the project would not have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands. d. Less-than-significant with mitigation incorporated. It was concluded that the project would not interfere with wildlife movement (Pruett Biological Resource Evaluation 2025). The project is not within the Kern River floodplain, or along a canal that has been identified by the USFWS as a corridor for native resident wildlife species. There is the potential during construction to temporarily affect nursery sites such as dens and burrows. Project construction could cause the direct destruction of a nursery site or cause enough of an indirect disturbance to cause special-status wildlife to abandon a nursery site. However, Mitigation Measure 3 requires preconstruction surveys and, if necessary, additional mitigation recommended by a qualified biologist and CDFW to reduce potential impacts on nursery sites. Therefore, with the implementation of Mitigation Measure 3, the project would not interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident, migratory fish, wildlife species, established native residents, migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites, and impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
e. Less than significant impact. It was concluded that the project site does not contain any biological resources that are protected by local policies or ordinances protecting any biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance (Pruett Biological Resource Evaluation 2025).

Therefore, the project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources and impacts are less than significant. f. Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Please refer to responses IV.d, and IV.e. With the implementation of Mitigation Measure 3, the project would not conflict with the provisions of 1:1

V. CULTURAL RESOURCES: Would the project:
a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5?
b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5?
c. Disturb any human remains, including those interred
outside of formal cemeteries?
Discussion
a. Less than significant impact. A Cultural Resources Survey which included a pedestrian field survey was completed for the project site by a qualified cultural resources specialist from Hudlow Cultural Resource Associates. A records search for the site and the surrounding area was conducted at the Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center, and the California Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento was queried (Hudlow Phase I Cultural Resource Survey 2025). Upon the completion of this survey, it was determined four cultural resources have been recorded within one-half mile of the project area. Each of these resources is a historic resource, including three historic residences and the Friant-Kern Canal. None of these four previously recorded cultural resources are located within the confines of the current project area. Therefore, the project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource, and impacts are less than significant.
b. Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. It was concluded that the project site has no prehistoric or historic archaeological sites present (Hudlow Phase I Cultural Resource Survey 2025).

However, there is still the potential to unearth previously unknown archaeological resources at the site, and grading and other ground-disturbing activities have the potential to damage or destroy such resources. Mitigation Measure 4 requires that construction workers be provided with cultural awareness training. Mitigation Measure 5 requires ceasing work and investigating any discovery if previously unknown archaeological resources are unearthed during construction. With the implementation of Mitigation Measures 4 and 5, the project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource, and impacts are less than significant with mitigations incorporated.
c. Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. There are no known human remains present at the Project site (Hudlow Phase I Cultural Resource Survey 2025). The project could inadvertently uncover, or damage, previously unknown human remains. Mitigation Measure 6 requires that if any human remains are found at the site during construction, work will cease, and the remains will be handled pursuant to applicable law. With the implementation of Mitigation Measure 6, the project would not significantly disturb any human remains, and impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

VI. ENERGY: Would the project:
a. Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or
operation?
b. Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for
renewable energy or energy efficiency?
Discussion
a. Less than significant impact. Project construction would require temporary energy demands typical of other single-family housing projects that occur throughout the state and this development’s construction would not result in inefficient or unnecessary consumption of energy resources beyond typical residential construction. All new construction within the City must adhere to adopted building standards, including California Code of Regulations Title 24, which outlines energy efficiency standards for new, single-family housing buildings to ensure that they do not wastefully, inefficiently, or unnecessarily consume energy. Therefore, the project would not result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation, and impacts are less than significant.
b. Less than significant impact. There is no adopted plan by the City of Bakersfield for renewable energy or energy efficiency. As mentioned above, all new development projects within the City are required to adhere to adopted building standards related to energy efficiency. Additionally, the City encourages applicants/developers to go beyond the required standards and make their developments even more efficient through programs such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), which is a green building rating system that provides a framework to create healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. Other encouraged programs available to applicants/developers are Title 20 appliance energy efficiency standards and 2005 building energy efficiency standards. Therefore, the project would not conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency, and impacts are less than significant.

d. Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property?
e. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of
wastewater?
f. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
Discussion
a. The following discusses the potential for the project to expose people or structures to substantial adverse effects because of various geologic hazards. The City is within a seismically active area.

According to the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan, major active fault systems border the southern portion of the San Joaquin Valley. Among these major active fault systems include the San Andreas, Breckenridge-Kern County, Garlock, Pond Poso, and White Wolf faults. There are additional smaller faults suspected of occurring within the Bakersfield area, which may or may not be active. The active faults have a maximum credible Richter magnitude that ranges from 6.0 (Breckenridge-Kern County) to 8.3 (San Andreas). Potential seismic hazards in the planning area involve strong ground shaking, fault rupture, liquefaction, and landslides. i. No Impact. Ground rupture is ground deformation that occurs along the surface trace of a fault during an earthquake. According to the California Department of Conservation’s Earthquake Zones of Required Investigation map, the project site is not located within an earthquake fault zone. Therefore, the project would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving the rupture of a known earthquake fault. ii. Less than significant impact. The City is within a seismically active area. Future structures proposed on the project site are required by state law and City ordinance to be constructed in accordance with the Uniform Building Code (specifically Seismic Zone 4, which has the most stringent seismic construction requirements in the United States), and to adhere to all modern earthquake construction standards. Therefore, the project would l:'11

not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving strong seismic ground shaking, and impacts are less than significant. iii. Less than significant impact. The most common seismic-related ground failure is liquefaction and lateral spreading. In both cases, during periods of ground motion caused by an event such as an earthquake, loose materials transform from a solid state to a nearliquid state because of increased pore water pressure. Such ground failure generally requires a high-water table and poorly draining soil for such this to occur. The project site is relatively flat and level with no major changes in grade. Public supply wells in Kern County are at depths between 600 and 800 feet below land surfaces (USGS 2016), meaning that groundwater levels are not close enough to the surface to result in sufficiently saturated soils suitable for liquefaction. In addition, future structures proposed on the project site are required by state law and City ordinance to be constructed by the Uniform Building Code, including those relating to soil characteristics. Therefore, the project would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction, and impacts are less than significant. iv. No impact. In Kern County, the common types of landslides induced by earthquakes occur on steeper slopes found in the foothills and along the Kern River Canyon; in these areas, landslides are generally associated with bluff and stream bank failure, rockslide, and slope slip on steep slopes. The project site is relatively flat and level with no major changes in grade. Therefore, the project would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving landslides.
b. Less than significant impact. Construction of the site would temporarily disturb soils, which in turn could loosen said soils. However, the proposed development entails paving over these soils with impervious surfaces, meaning the project site would not be particularly susceptible to soil erosion.

In addition, the relatively low precipitation that occurs in the project area (on average about 7 to 10 inches/year) results in surface runoff that is intermittent and temporary. The erosion potential at the site, low average rainfall, and the fact that soils are well drained do not make the site susceptible to substantial soil erosion or loss of topsoil. Therefore, the project would not result in substantial soil erosion or loss of topsoil, and impacts are less than significant. c. Less than significant impact. As discussed above, the soils at the project site would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction, lateral spreading, or landslides.

Subsidence is part of the baseline condition in the project area due to historic groundwater pumping and the resultant subsidence that occurs with such activities. The project would not substantially contribute to this baseline condition because the projected water use has been conditionally approved by the California Water Service Company Bakersfield District (the District).

The site has been considered by the District against its current Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and it was concluded that the City has sufficient existing capacity to service the project.

Therefore, the project has already been considered in the groundwater analysis in the UWMP and would not exacerbate subsidence in the area beyond the baseline condition.

Collapsible soils consist of loose, dry, low-density materials that collapse and compact under the addition of water or excessive loading. Future structures proposed on the project site are required by state law and City ordinance to be constructed in accordance with the Uniform Building Code, including those relating to soil characteristics. Therefore, the project would not be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable because of the project, and 1:1

potentially result in an on-site or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse, and impacts are less than significant.
d. Less-than-significant impact. The soils identified on or around the project site is Milham sandy loam (0 to 2 percent slopes) and Wasco sandy loam, which do not have a high potential to be expansive. Additionally, future structures proposed on the site are required by state law and City ordinance to be constructed in accordance with the Uniform Building Code, including those relating to soil characteristics. Therefore, the project would not be located on expansive soil creating substantial risks to life or property, and impacts are less than significant. e. No impact. The project would not require the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems because the project would connect to existing City sewer services in the area. Therefore, there would be no impacts related to soils incapable of adequately supporting septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems.
f. Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Paleontological sensitivity is determined by the potential for a geologic unit to produce scientifically significant fossils. Because paleontological resources typically occur in the substratum soil horizon, surface expressions are often not visible during a pedestrian survey. Paleontological sensitivity is derived from known fossil data collected from the entire geologic unit. The project site is entirely underlain by alluvial fan deposits of the late Holocene age, which presumably transition in the subsurface into older, Pleistocene-age deposits.

Like archeological resources, there is the potential to unearth previously unknown paleontological resources at the site, and grading and other ground-disturbing activities have the potential to damage or destroy such resources. Therefore, with the implementation of Mitigation Measure 5, the project would not directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource site or unique geologic feature, and impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

Discussion
a. Less than significant impact. The project would generate an incremental contribution and, when combined with the cumulative increase of all other sources of greenhouse gases (GHG), could contribute to global climate change impacts. Although the project is expected to emit GHGs, the GHG emissions of a single project into the atmosphere are not necessarily an adverse environmental effect. Rather, it is the increased accumulation of GHG emissions from more than one project and many sources in the atmosphere that may result in global climate change. The l:'11

resultant consequences of climate change can cause adverse environmental effects. A project’s GHG emissions would typically be small in comparison to state or global GHG emissions and, consequently, in isolation would have no significant direct impact on climate change. Therefore, a project’s GHG emissions and the resulting significance of potential impacts are more properly assessed on a cumulative basis.

On September 27, 2006, Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (the Act) was enacted by the State of California. The Act charged the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) with the responsibility to monitor, regulate, and reduce GHG emissions.

CARB defined the 1990 baseline emissions for California and adopted that baseline as the 2020 statewide emissions cap at the time. AB 32 required new development projects that are not exempt under CEQA to demonstrate at least a 29% reduction in estimated GHG emissions when compared to the 1990 baseline. Subsequent legislation by the California legislature has included Senate Bill 32 (SB 32), which expanded upon AB 32 to reduce GHG emissions to 40% below the 1990 levels by 2030; AB 197, which increased the legislative oversight of CARB via the addition of two legislatively appointed non-voting members and provided added protections for disadvantaged communities; SB 350, which increased California’s renewable energy procurement goal; and SB 100, which established a landmark policy requiring 100% of electrical retail sales to end-use customers and 100% of electricity to serve state agencies to be produced via renewable energy and zero-carbon resources by 2045.

The California Supreme Court’s decision in the “Center for Biological Diversity v. California Department of Fish and Wildlife; The Newhall Land and Farming Company, Real Party in Interest, Case No. S217763,” determined that the Newhall Ranch project’s Environmental Impact Report (EIR) did not substantiate the conclusion that the GHG cumulative impacts would be less than significant. The EIR determined that the project would reduce estimated GHG emissions by 31%, meeting the required 29% reduction, by comparing these emissions to business-as-usual (BAU) levels established through AB 32. The Court determined that the EIR’s deficiency stemmed from using this quantitative comparison method developed by the Scoping Plan as a measure of the GHG reduction effort required by the state and attempting to do so, without adjustments, for a purpose substantially different from its original design. The Court’s final ruling offered several examples that an agency can use to determine that a project’s GHG emissions are less than significant (Center for Biological Diversity v. The Newhall Land and Farming Company, Real Party in Interest, 2015):

1. Lead agencies can use the business-as-usual comparison methodology if they determine what reduction a particular project must achieve to comply with statewide goals;

2. Project design features that comply with regulations to reduce emissions may demonstrate that those components of emissions are less than significant; and

3. Lead agencies could also demonstrate compliance with locally adopted climate plans or could apply specific numerical thresholds developed by some local agencies, to demonstrate emissions are less than significant.

Although the City of Bakersfield has not developed specific thresholds for GHG emissions, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD), a CEQA Trustee Agency for the project, has developed thresholds. These thresholds entail either implementing Best Performance Standards (BPS) or demonstrating a 29% reduction in estimated GHG emissions when compared to BAU levels of emissions. However, the BAU emissions provided by the SJVAPCD are based on the years 2002 to 2004 and 2020. Since the 2020 project baseline has passed, and at this time no new guidance has been approved by the SJVAPCD for the next target year, the 29% reduction 1:1

requirement cannot be applied to this project to determine GHG emission significance.

Additionally, BPS thresholds have not been established by the SJVAPCD, making the use of BPS on their own an insufficient means of determining significance as well. Lacking any locally adopted climate plans or specific numerical thresholds developed by a local agency at this time, the project relies on design features that comply with state regulations to reduce GHG emissions.

When considering the use of design features that comply with state regulations to reduce GHG emissions, one can look to the argument made by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) in their Final Negative Declaration for the Phillips 66 Los Angeles Refinery Carson Plant – Crude Oil Storage Capacity project (South Coast AQMD, 2014). This approach recognizes that consumers of electricity and fuels used for transportation activities are regulated by requiring producers and importers of these resources to participate in programs, such as the GHG Capand-Trade program. Each sector-wide state program exists within the framework of AB 32, and its descendant legislation, which all seek to achieve GHG emissions reductions consistent with the AB 32 Scoping Plan.

The main sources of GHG emissions associated with this project are energy use and combustion of gasoline/diesel fuels, each of which is regulated near or at the top of the supply chain. As such, the project will have no choice but to purchase said electricity and fuels that are produced in a way deemed acceptable to the California market. Additionally, the project will abide by California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards and Title 24 requirements, implementing energy conservation features in this proposed development. The project will also implement GHG emission mitigations such as on-site vehicle idling limits and zero emission infrastructure (e.g., electric vehicle charging stations). Therefore, the project's GHG emissions will be consistent with the AB 32 Scoping Plan, and the project’s contribution to cumulative global climate change impacts would not be cumulatively considerable, and impacts are less than significant. b. Less than significant impact. CARB is responsible for the coordination and administration of both federal and state air pollution control programs within California. As proposed, the project would not conflict with any statewide policy, regional plan, or local guidance or policy adopted to reduce GHG emissions. The project would not interfere with the implementation of AB 32 and SB 375 because it would be consistent with the GHG emission reduction targets identified by CARB and the Scoping Plan as described in VIII.a. Therefore, the project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions, and impacts are less than significant.

Discussion
a. Less than significant impact. Construction activities would require the transport, storage, use, and/or disposal of hazardous materials such as fuels and greases for the fueling/servicing of construction equipment and fuel tanks, and there is the potential for upset and accident conditions that could release such material into the environment. Such substances would be stored in temporary storage tanks/sheds that would be located at the site. Although these types of materials are not acutely hazardous, they are classified as hazardous materials and create the potential for accidental spillage, which could expose construction workers. All transport, storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials used in the construction of the project would be in strict accordance with federal and state laws and regulations. During construction of the project, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all applicable materials present at the site would be made readily available to on-site personnel. During construction, non-hazardous construction debris would be generated and disposed of at approved facilities for handling such waste. Also, during construction, waste disposal would be managed using portable toilets located at reasonably accessible on-site locations.

Day-to-day operational activities may involve routine transport, use of, and/or disposal of hazardous materials as defined by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act, namely gasoline transport and storage. The routine transport of gasoline to the project site would have to comply with all laws and regulations related to hazardous material routes and the proper transfer of gasoline to the site. Users should also read product labels for disposal directions to reduce the risk of products exploding, igniting, leaking, mixing with other chemicals, or posing other hazards on the way to a disposal facility. Therefore, the project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials, and impacts are less than significant. b. Less than significant impact. Please refer to response IX.a. The project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous material into the environment, and impacts are less than significant.

c. Less than significant impact. The Air Quality Analysis (AQIA) concluded that the project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations or result in other emissions that would adversely affect a substantial number of people (Envirotech Consultants Small Project Analysis Level Assessment 2025). As mentioned above, the project would be required to adhere to all applicable federal and state laws and regulations concerning the handling of hazardous materials, and impacts are less than significant.
d. No impact. The EnviroStor (DTSC 2023) and Cortese (CalEPA 2023) lists under Government Code (GC) Section 65962.5 were reviewed. No portion of the project site is identified on either list, which provides the location of known hazardous waste concerns. Therefore, the project would not be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to GC Section 65962.5 and, as a result, create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. e. No impact. The project site is not located within the Kern County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan area (Kern County 2012). The closest airport to the site is the Meadows Field Airport, which is located approximately 2.8 miles east. Therefore, the project would not result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area. The project is not located within the specified distance within an airport land use plan, or where such a plan has not been adopted.
f. Less than significant impact. Access to the site would be maintained throughout the construction period, and appropriate detours would be provided in the event of potential temporary road closures. The project would not interfere with any local or regional emergency response or evacuation plans because the project would not result in a substantial alteration to the adjacent and area circulation system. The project is typical of urban development in Bakersfield and is consistent with the adopted City of Bakersfield Hazardous Materials Area Plan (Bakersfield 1997).

This plan identifies responsibilities and provides coordination of emergency response at the local level to hazardous materials incidents. Therefore, the project would not impair the implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan, and impacts are less than significant.
g. Less than significant impact. The project site is not located within a “very high,” “high,” or “moderate” fire hazard severity zone (CalFire 2022). The site is surrounded by both developed and undeveloped land, and its vicinity is urban and does not possess high fuel loads that have a high potential to cause a wildland fire. The project site would be developed with hardscapes and irrigated landscaping, which would further reduce fire potential at the site. Therefore, the project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands, and impacts are less than significant.

b. Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the
project may impede sustainable groundwater
management of the basin?
c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would:
d. Result in a substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? e. Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or offsite?
f. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of
polluted runoff?
g. Impede or redirect flood flows?
h. In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation?
i. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water
quality control plan or sustainable groundwater
management plan?
Discussion
a. Less than significant impact. Construction would include ground-disturbing activities that would temporarily disturb and potentially loosen soils. However, during operation, the soils would be paved over with impervious surfaces such that the soils at the site would not be particularly susceptible to soil erosion.

The City owns and maintains a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). The project’s operational urban stormwater discharges are covered under the Central Valley Water Quality Control Board (“CVRWQCB”) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit and Waste Discharge Requirements General Permit for Discharges from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (Order No. R5-2016-0040; NPDES No. CAS0085324) (MS4 Permit) (CVRWQCB 2016). The MS4 Permit mandates the implementation of a stormwater management framework to ensure that water quality is maintained despite operational stormwater discharges throughout the City, including the project site. Therefore, by complying with the MS4 Permit, the project would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements, and impacts are less than significant.
b. Less than significant impact. Currently, there are no irrigation water rights from a local water district associated with the project site. Potable water for the site would be supplied by Califonia Water Company Bakersfield District (the District) which has provided a Will-Serve letter for the project, which receives at least a portion of its supplies from groundwater sources. Also, by state law, the current Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) does not need to address the Sustainable l:'11

Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) or sustainable groundwater management at this time. It was concluded that the District has sufficient existing capacity to service the project. Therefore, the project would not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level, and impacts are less than significant. c. Less than significant impact. The following responses to items X.d. through X.g. discuss whether the project would substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces.

Therefore, the project would not substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or through the addition of impervious surfaces, and impacts are less than significant. d. Less than significant impact. The project site does not contain any blue-line streams or other surface water features; therefore, the proposed development would not alter the course of a river or stream.

The site would be graded and, as a result, the internal drainage pattern would be altered from the baseline condition. Additionally, the project would increase impervious surfaces on-site (i.e., building pads, sidewalks, asphalt parking area, etc.), which would reduce the percolation of water into the ground and result in greater amounts of stormwater runoff concentrations. If uncontrolled, differences in drainage patterns and increased impervious surfaces could result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. However, the project would be required to comply with the General Permit during construction and the MS4 Permit during operation. To comply with the MS4 Permit, the City requires compliance with adopted building codes, including complying with an approved drainage plan that avoids on- and off-site flooding, erosion, and siltation problems. Therefore, the project would not substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner that would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site, and impacts are less than significant. e. Less than significant impact. Please refer to response X.d. The project would not substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on- or off-site. Therefore, the project’s impacts are less than significant. f. Less than significant impact. To comply with the City’s MS4 Permit, the City requires compliance with an approved drainage plan that would avoid on- and off-site flooding. The project would not create or contribute runoff water that would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff, and impacts are less than significant.
g. Less than significant impact. A review of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Maps shows the project site is in Zone X, which is a minimal risk area outside the 1-percent and 0.2-percent-annual-chance floodplain. Therefore, the project would not impede or redirect flood flows, and impacts are less than significant. h. Less than significant impact. The City of Bakersfield is located within Central California and is not near a coastal environment that risks flood inundation. In addition, the City is not located within a tsunami zone as identified by the California Department of Conservation’s Tsunami Map. As mentioned above, the project site is in Zone X, which is a minimal-risk area outside the 1-percent and 0.2-percent-annual-chance floodplain.

The project site, like most of the City, is located within the Lake Isabella flood inundation area (Kern County 2017), which is the area that would experience flooding if there was a catastrophic failure of the Lake Isabella Dam. There is an approved Lake Isabella Dam Failure Evacuation Plan (Kern County 2009) that establishes processes and procedures for the mass evacuation and short-term support of populations at risk below the Lake Isabella Dam. The City would utilize the Evacuation Plan to support its Emergency Operations Plans. Therefore, due to the project’s location and implementation of related emergency safety plans, the project would not likely risk the release of pollutants due to project inundation in flood hazards, tsunami, or seiche zones, and impacts are less than significant.
i. Less than significant impact. Please refer to response X.d. There is currently no adopted groundwater management plan for the project site or surrounding area. Therefore, the project would not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan, and impacts are less than significant.

environmental effect?
Discussion
a. No impact. The project is a continuation of the existing urban development pattern of the City.

The project does not include a long and linear feature, such as a freeway, railroad track, block wall, etc., that would have the potential to divide a community. The project consists of the development of a finite, 10-acre infill site that does not impede existing or future movement or development of the City.
b. No impact. Upon approval of the general plan amendment and zone change, the project would be consistent with both the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan (MBGP) and Zoning Ordinance.

The project would not conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.

a. Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be a value to the region and the
residents of the state?
b. Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local
general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan?
Discussion
a. Less than significant impact. The project site is within the administrative boundaries of the Fruitvale oilfield, however there are no existing oil wells on the project site (DOC 2022b). The applicant for VTTM No. 7522 has elected to submit a recorded document that confirms the waiver of surface entry rights. Therefore, since no oil wells currently exist on the project site there will be no loss of availability of a known mineral resource and would not result in a significant loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state. b. No impact. The project site is currently designated A (Agriculture). No portion of the site is designated for potential mineral resource extraction use such as R-MP (Mineral and Petroleum).

Therefore, the project would not result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site that is delineated in a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan.

ground borne noise levels?
c. For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the Project expose people
residing or working in the Project area to excessive noise levels?
Discussion
a. Less than significant impact. The project would generate both short-term construction noise and operational noise. The first type of short-term construction noise would result from the transport of construction equipment and materials to the project site, as well as construction worker commutes. The total daily vehicle trips resulting from construction worker commutes would be l:'11

minimal when compared to existing traffic volumes on the affected streets, and the long-term noise level change would not be perceptible.

The second type of short-term construction noise is related to noise generated during project construction. The site preparation and grading phase, which includes excavation and grading, tends to generate the highest noise levels because earthmoving equipment is the noisiest construction equipment. Construction noise levels during grading would be less than 70 dBA, which would not exceed the hourly noise level standard for the nearest sensitive uses.

Construction noise would cease to occur once project construction is completed. The project will also be required to comply with the construction hours specified in the City Noise Ordinance, which states that construction activities are limited to the hours of 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM on weekdays, and between the hours of 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM on weekends.

Project operations would generate sound levels typical of single-family housing land uses, which would have to comply with the Bakersfield Municipal Code regarding noise. Stationary operational noise levels at all points around the project site would experience noise level impacts that would be less than the daytime and nighttime hourly noise level standards of 55 dBA and 50 dBA, respectively. Project-related operational traffic would have very small noise level increases along roadway segments in the project vicinity. Parking lot noise, including engine sounds, car doors slamming, car alarms, loud music, and people conversing, would also occur at the project site. It was determined that the noise levels at all points around the project site would experience noise level impacts that would be less than the City’s daytime and nighttime maximum noise level standards of 75 dBA and 70 dBA.

Therefore, the project would not generate a substantial, temporary, or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project that are in excess of the standards established in the local General Plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies, and impacts are less than significant.
b. Less than significant impact. Some ground-borne vibration and noise would originate from earth movement and building activities during the project’s construction phase. Ground-borne noise and vibration from construction activity would be mostly low to moderate. The operation of typical construction equipment would generate ground-borne vibrations that would not exceed guidelines that are considered unsafe for any type of building. Operation of the proposed singlefamily housing use would not generate ground-borne vibration. Therefore, the project would not result in the generation of excessive ground-borne vibrations or ground-borne noise, and impacts are less than significant.
c. No impact. The project site is not located within the Kern County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan area or the vicinity of a private airstrip (Kern County 2012). Therefore, the project would not result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area.

b. Displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
Discussion
a. Less than significant impact. The proposed project would accommodate population growth in this area through the development of 39 single-family units. The project will be developed near existing established residential uses and is therefore the logical extension of existing urban development. Bakersfield has experienced approximately 13% growth in population (347,483 people in 2010 to 394,328 in 2019) since 2010 (DOF 2019a and DOF 2019b). It is predicted that by 2040, 1,137,676 people will live in Kern County (DOF 2019c). Given that 42.5% of the people in Kern County currently live in Bakersfield (DOF 2019b), and if this trend continues, it is estimated that about 483,512 people would live in Bakersfield in 2040. This means that by 2040, 81,951 additional people would need housing in the Bakersfield area. This Project will be in compliance with the goals and policies of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan and will accommodate the orderly development projected increase in Bakersfield’s population by providing residences for existing and future residents in Bakersfield. Therefore, the project would not induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly or indirectly, and impacts are less than significant. b. No impact. The project site consists of three large parcels of land. The project would not displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere.

Discussion
a. The following discusses whether the project would result in substantial adverse physical impacts to public services. The need for additional public service is generally directly correlated to population growth and the resultant additional population’s need for services beyond what is currently available.
i. Less than significant impact. Fire protection services for the Metropolitan Bakersfield area are provided through a joint fire protection agreement between the City and County of Kern. A potential increase in services can be paid for via property taxes generated by this development. Therefore, the project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, a need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, to maintain acceptable service ratios, or response times or other performance objectives for fire protection, and impacts are less than significant.
ii. Less than significant impact. Police protection for the project would be provided by the Bakersfield Police Department. Potential increases in services can be paid for via property taxes generated by this development. Therefore, the project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, a need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts. In order to maintain acceptable service ratios, or response times or other performance objectives for police protection, and impacts are less than significant.
iii. Less than significant impact. The project is proposed to accommodate existing and future residents within the City. Therefore, the project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for schools, and impacts are less than significant.
iv. Less than significant impact. The proposal does not include nor require the construction of recreational facilities. However, park impact fees are required for residential and High Medium Residential land uses. Therefore, the project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for parks, and impacts are less than significant.
v. Less-than-significant impact. The Project and eventual buildup of this area would result in an increase in maintenance responsibility for the City. Though the Project may necessitate increased maintenance for other public facilities, this potential increase can be paid for by property taxes generated by this development. Therefore, the Project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order 1:1

Discussion
a. Less-than-significant impact. The Project would result in temporary construction-related traffic impacts. Construction workers traveling to and from the project site as well as construction material delivery would result in additional vehicle trips to the area’s roadway system.

Construction material delivery may require a number of trips for oversized vehicles that may travel at slower speeds than existing traffic and, due to their size, may intrude into adjacent travel lanes.

These trips may temporarily degrade level of service on area roadways and at intersections.

Additionally, the total number of vehicle trips associated with all construction- related traffic, including construction worker trips, could temporarily increase daily traffic volumes on local roadways and intersections. The Project may require temporary lane closures or the need for flagmen to safely direct traffic on roadways near the Project site.

A Trip Generation Analysis was completed and reviewed by the Traffic Engineering Division of the Public Works Department (Ruettgers & Schuler Civil Engineers \ Provost & Pritchard. Traffic Analysis. 2025). It was determined that the Project has been designed in accordance with City development standards, and appropriate standard conditions of approval have been assigned to the project. The conditions include the dedication and improvement of streets, traffic control measures during construction, pedestrian access, and the payment of impact fees. Therefore, the project would not conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance, or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system and impacts are less than significant. b. Less-than-significant impact. Section 15064.3 of the updated California Code of Regulations (“CCR” or CEQA Guidelines), the statewide application came into effect on July 1, 2020. This CCR Section 15064.3(b) states:

Criteria for Analyzing Transportation Impacts.
(1) Land Use Projects. Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) exceeding an applicable threshold of significance may indicate a significant impact. Generally, projects within onehalf mile of either an existing major transit stop or a stop along an existing highquality transit corridor should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. Projects that decrease VMT in the project area compared to existing conditions should be presumed to have a less than significant transportation impact.
(2) Transportation Projects. Transportation projects that reduce, or have no impact on, VMT should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. For roadway capacity projects, agencies have the discretion to determine the appropriate measure of transportation impact consistent with CEQA and other applicable requirements. To the extent that such impacts have already been adequately addressed at a programmatic level, such as in a regional transportation plan EIR, a lead agency may tier from that analysis as provided in Section 15152.
(3) Qualitative Analysis. If existing models or methods are not available to estimate the VMT for the project being considered, a lead agency may analyze the project's VMT qualitatively. Such a qualitative analysis would evaluate factors such as the availability of transit, proximity to other destinations, etc. For many projects, a qualitative analysis of construction traffic may be appropriate. 1:1

(4) Methodology. A lead agency has the discretion to choose the most appropriate methodology to evaluate a project's VMT, including whether to express the change in absolute terms, per capita, per household, or in any other measure. A lead agency may use models to estimate a project's VMT and may revise those estimates to reflect professional judgment based on substantial evidence. Any assumptions used to estimate VMT and any revisions to model outputs should be documented and explained in the environmental document prepared for the project. The standard of adequacy in Section 15151 shall apply to the analysis described in this section.

The Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) Travel Demand Model was used to estimate regional Vehicle Miles Traveled (“VMT”) with and without project conditions to determine if the project will have a significant VMT impact. The proposed project is anticipated to generate 580 daily trips, 32 AM peak hour trips, and 40 PM peak hour trips. Since peak hour project traffic is less than 50 vehicle trips, level of service analysis is not required.

The total regional VMT with project traffic is lower than the total without the project. Therefore, the project would not be in conflict or be inconsistent with CCR Section 15064.3(b) and impacts are less than significant.
c. Less-than-significant impact. The project would have to comply with all conditions placed on it by the City Traffic Engineering Division to meet accepted traffic engineering standards intended to reduce traffic hazards. The project is within City limits and surrounded by compatible existing and planned land uses and land use designations. Therefore, the project would not substantially increase hazards due to a design feature or incompatible uses, and impacts are less than significant.
d. Less-than-significant impact. There is the potential that, during the construction phase, the project would impede emergency access. For projects that require minor impediments of short duration (e.g., pouring a new driveway entrance), the project would be required to obtain a street permit from the Public Works Department. If a project requires lane closures and/or the diversion of traffic, then a Traffic Control Plan, subject to Public Works approval, would be required. During operations, the project would have to comply with all applicable City policies and requirements to ensure adequate emergency access. Therefore, the need for such permits is determined by the Public Works Department during the permitting and construction phases, and impacts are less than significant.

resources as defined in Public Resources Code section
5020.1(k)?
b. A resource determined by the lead agency, in its
discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code § 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code §
5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe?
Discussion
a. Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. The project requires a GPA and therefore, request for consultation letters were sent to a list of tribal contacts received from the Native American Heritage Commission in compliance with Senate Bill 18 (“SB 18”). In the letters, the City stated that the applicable tribes may request consultation with the City regarding the preservation of, and/or mitigation of impacts to, California Native American cultural places in connection with the project. To date, none of the tribes have responded to the request. Therefore, the project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources or in a local register of historical resources, and impacts are less than significant. b. Less than significant impact. There are no tribal cultural resources determined by the lead agency to be of significance onsite. Therefore, the project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that is determined by the lead agency to be significant, and impacts are less than significant.

infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals?
e. Comply with federal, state, and local management
and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
Discussion
a. Less-than-significant impact. The project would require the construction of new water, stormwater drainage, sewer facilities; above and/or belowground electrical facilities, natural gas facilities, and telecommunications (e.g., cable, fiber optics, phone, etc.) typical of general manufacturing development. Water, stormwater, and sewer structures would have to be designed to meet the City’s Current Subdivision & Engineering Design Manual (Bakersfield 1999). Compliance with the Design Manual would ensure that the facilities would not result in significant environmental effects.

Electrical, natural gas and telecommunications facilities would be placed by the individual serving utilities; these entities already have in place safety and citing protocols to ensure that placement of new utilities to serve new construction would not have a significant effect on the environment.

Therefore, the project would not require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects, and impacts are less than significant. b. Less-than-significant impact. The designated water purveyor is California Water Company Bakersfield District (“the District”). The District has provided a letter stating that water service can be supplied in compliance with their current UWMP which accounts for normal, dry, and multiple dry years. Therefore, the project has sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years, and impacts are less than significant.
c. Less-than-significant impact. Wastewater produced as a result of the project would be treated at the Waste Water Treatment Plant (“WWTP”) No. 2, which is owned and operated by the City.

WWTP No. 2 has an overall capacity of 25 MGD and a current available capacity of 13.7 MGD (Bakersfield 2023). WWTP No. 2 has sufficient capacity to serve the project. Therefore, it has been determined that the wastewater treatment provider that serves or may serve the project has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments, and impacts are less than significant.
d. Less-than-significant impact. It is assumed that solid waste generated because of the project would be disposed of at the Bena Landfill located at 2951 Neumarkel Road, Bakersfield, CA 93307.

By City standards which are designed to achieve state waste stream reduction and recycling goals, the Solid Waste Division of Public Works will conduct a detailed review of the facility at the time of development to incorporate appropriate on-site trash facilities, subject to City approval.

Therefore, the project would be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs, and impacts are less than significant. e. Less-than-significant impact. By law, the project would be required to comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations, including those relating to waste reduction, litter control, and solid waste disposal, and impacts are less than significant.

XX. WILDFIRES: Would the project result in:
a. Substantially impair an adopted emergency response
plan or emergency evacuation plan?
b. Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors,
exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project
occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?
c. Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency
water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment?
d. Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a
result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes?
Discussion
a. Less than significant impact. The project is not located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones. The project is in an urbanized area and access to the site would be maintained throughout the construction period. The project would not interfere with any local or regional emergency response or evacuation plans because the project would not result in substantial alteration to the adjacent and area circulation system. The project is typical of urban development in Bakersfield and is not inconsistent with the adopted City of Bakersfield Hazardous Materials Area Plan (Bakersfield 1997). This plan identifies responsibilities and provides coordination of emergency response at the local level to hazardous materials incidents.

Therefore, the project would not substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan, and impacts are less than significant. b. Less than significant impact. As mentioned above, the project is not located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones. Additionally, the project site is relatively flat, not near wildlands, the site and its surroundings do not possess high fuel loads (i.e., lots of vegetation and other burnable material) to exacerbate wildfire risks, and therefore, fire-related pollutant concentrations. Therefore, the project would not exacerbate wildfires and expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, and impacts are less than significant.
c. Less than significant impact. The project is located within the Metropolitan Bakersfield City limits and the site, as well as the surrounding area, is extensively developed with existing infrastructure such as roads, power lines, utilities, etc., to support the development of this project. Therefore, the project would not require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment, and impacts are less than significant.

XXI. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE: Would the project result in:
a. Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of life of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,
substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b. Does the project have impacts that are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively
considerable” means that the incremental effects of a
Project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current Projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) c. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Discussion
a. Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. The project, with the implementation of the identified conditions of approval, best management practices, and mitigation measures, would not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory, and impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporated. b. Less than significant impact. Under Section 15065(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, a lead agency shall find that a project may have a significant effect on the environment where there is substantial evidence that said project has potential environmental effects “that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable.” This section further states that cumulatively considerable means “that the incremental effects of an individual project are significant when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.”
Past, present, and future projects in proximity to the project were considered and evaluated as part of this Initial Study. Also, in addition to project-specific impacts, this Initial Study considered l:'11

the project’s potential for incremental effects that are cumulatively considerable. As described in the responses above, there is no substantial evidence that there are cumulative effects associated with this project. In addition, any future development projects not identified above would be required to undergo a separate environmental analysis and mitigate any projectspecific or site-specific potential impacts, and impacts are less than significant. c. Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. As described in the responses above, the project, with mitigation, would not have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly, and impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

DATE: April 10, 2026
FILE: General Plan Amendment and Zone Change No. 25-0008 J.Eng STAFF PLANNER: Roque Nino, Principal Planner
REQUEST: (1) An amendment of the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan land use designation from R-IA (Resource – Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low Density Residential); and (2) a prezoning from County A (Exclusive Agriculture) to City R-1 (Single-Unit Dwelling) Zone.

APPLICANT: Cornerstone Engineering, Inc. OWNER: Calloway North Investors LLC 5509 Young Street 5301 Office Park Drive, Suite 115
Bakersfield, CA 93311 Bakersfield, CA 93309
LOCATION: 7656 Calloway Drive; generally located on the east side of Calloway Drive between Tortuga Del Mar Drive and Snow Road
APN: 492-080-11, 12 and 37
PROJECT SIZE: Approximately 10.44 acres CEQA: Mitigated Negative Declaration STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
(1) Adopt Resolution ADOPTING Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to Section 15074 of the California Environmental Quality Act; (2) Adopt Resolution APPROVING the general plan amendment to change the land use designation from R-IA (Resource – Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low Density Residential); and (3) Adopt Resolution APPROVING change in zone classification from County A (Exclusive Agriculture) to City R-1 (Single-Unit Dwelling) Zone.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The general plan amendment and pre-zoning covers the area located within the City of Bakersfield’s Sphere of Influence boundary. The project site consists of three large contiguous parcels totaling 10.44 acres previously utilized for farming operations. Surrounding properties are primarily developed as: north, east and south – single-family residential; and west – condominium complex. Property to the east and south are zoned E(1/4) (Estate- ¼ Acre) in unincorporated Kern County.

CGPA-25-0008
PROJECT ANALYSIS:

General Plan Amendment/Zone Change (GPA/ZC).

The General Plan Amendment (“GPA”) and Zone Change (“ZC”) request submitted by Cornerstone Engineering Inc. (applicant), on behalf of Calloway North Investors LLC (property owner) is (1) proposing a GPA to change the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan land use designation from R-IA (Resource – Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low Density Residential) or a more restrictive designation; and (2) proposing a pre-zoning change in from County A (Exclusive Agriculture) to City R-1 (Single-Unit Dwelling) or a more restrictive zone on approximately 10.44 acres.

The project proposes an annexation (PP-ANX-25-0014) to the City of Bakersfield and Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM 7522) to develop 39 single-family residential parcels to construct single-family dwellings which is consistent with the proposed LR designation and R-1 zone for the project site.

Prezoning.

A city must pre-zone unincorporated territory that the city expects to annex in the future, or present evidence satisfactory to LAFCo that the existing development entitlements on the territory are vested or are already at buildout and are consistent with the city’s general plan. The proposed zoning must be consistent with the city general plan and a public hearing must be held. LAFCo may not, however, dictate the specific zoning to be applied by the city. There are two advantages to pre-zoning. First, the city will have zoning in effect immediately upon annexation. Residents will thereby have prior knowledge of the land use regulations that would affect them should annexation occur. Second, pre-zoning serves as notice to the LAFCo of the city’s intentions regarding its adjacent areas.

As such, upon annexation of the territory, the city is restricted for a period of two years after the annexation’s effective date from amending the general plan designation and zoning for the territory that is a departure from the pre-zoning. This restriction may be waived if the city makes a finding at a public hearing that a substantial change has occurred in circumstances that necessitates a departure from the pre-zoning. To be effective, the pre-zoning must be consistent with the city general plan. It should be noted that none of the identified parcels are within a physical constraint or hazard area that would impede sustainable development.

CALIFORNIA STATE HOUSING BILLS:

Housing Accountability Act. The Housing Accountability Act, Government Code Section 65589.5, establishes limitations to a local government’s ability to deny, reduce the density of, or make infeasible housing development projects, emergency shelters, or farmworker housing that are consistent with objective local development standards and contribute to meeting housing need. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65589.5(3)(j), when a proposed housing development project complies with applicable, objective general plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria, including design review standards, in effect at the time that the application was deemed complete, but the local agency proposes to disapprove the project or to impose a condition that the project be developed at a lower density, the local agency shall base its decision regarding the proposed housing development project upon written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence on the record that both of the following conditions exist:

Regional Housing Needs Assessment. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) is a process mandated by California state law that requires jurisdictions to plan for new housing to accommodate projected growth. The RHNA assigns the number of housing units that the California State Housing and Community Development Agency (HCD) determine is necessary to build in an eight-year cycle for each jurisdiction, organized by affordability level. The project would contribute additional R-1 residential units on 10.44 acres to the City of Bakersfield’s 6th Housing Element Cycle from 2023 through 2031.

Goal 2: Accommodate new development which provides a full mix of uses to support its population.

Goal 3: Accommodate new development which is compatible with and complements existing land uses.

The project is consistent with this goal by providing single-family residential housing density intensification to support the local population.

Goal 4: Accommodate new development which channels land uses in a phased, orderly manner and is coordinated with the provision of infrastructure and public improvements.

The necessary infrastructure and public improvements are available to accommodate single-family residential developments or, if the project is approved, will be developed through the fair-share payment of impact fees by the property owner. Therefore, the project is consistent with this goal.

Policy 2: Allow for the development of a variety of residential types and densities.

Policy 3: Ensure that residential uses are located in proximity to commercial services, employment centers, public services, transportation routes, and recreational and cultural resources.

Policy 75: Provide adequate land area for the expansion of existing uses and development of new uses consistent with the policies of the general plan.

CGPA-25-0008
The project site is located on existing residential land near residential land uses. Therefore, adequate land is available for the project, and the project expands existing residential land uses at a different density.

Therefore, the project is consistent with this policy.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION:

The initial study determined that compliance with the recommended mitigation measures, local ordinances, state laws, and construction to the standards of the Uniform Building Codes will reduce impacts to a less- than-significant level. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared for this project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The MND was circulated for a 30-day public and agency review period starting January 21, 2026, through February 19, 2026 (SCH No. 2026010517).

Comments Received. As of this writing, no written comments have been received.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

Comments Received. As of this writing, no comments have been received.

Tribal Consultation. In compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 18, staff mailed a letter on January 7, 2026, notifying the American Indian Tribes of the proposed project and location of the site. The notice starts the 90-day consultation period required under SB 18. As of this writing, no tribal consultation has been requested.

Community Outreach. The applicant hosted a community outreach meeting on March 12, 2026. Invitation letters were mailed by the applicant to property owners within 300 feet of the project site. According to the meeting sign-in sheet, four individuals attended.

CONCLUSIONS:

Consistency with Surrounding Development. The project would provide for an increase in residential density to complement the existing single-family residential development in the area.

CGPA-25-0008
Consistency with General Plan/Zoning Ordinance. The proposal is consistent with land use goals and policies as contained in the General Plan related to single-family development, as noted above. As conditioned, the site plan review is required to comply with requirements and regulations as set forth in the Bakersfield Municipal Code Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance) and City Development Standards.

Recommendation. Staff finds that the applicable provisions of CEQA have been complied with, and the proposal is compatible with the surrounding area, land use designation, and zoning ordinance.

Therefore, staff recommends your Commission: (1) adopt Resolution ADOPTING Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to Section 15074 of the California Environmental Quality Act; (2) An amendment of the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan land use designation from R-IA (Resource – Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low Density Residential); and (3) a change in zone classification from County A (Agricultural) to City R-1 (Single-Unit Dwelling) Zone.

FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: August 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Public Appeal Hearing of Planning Commission’s Approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 7451 (Phased) and its Mitigated Negative Declaration.

McIntosh & Associates, representing Diamond Farming Company, is proposing to subdivide 40.77 acres into 313 single-family residential lots, 1 multi-use trail lot, and 1 park lot in the R-2 (Small Lot Single-Unit Dwelling) zone located generally southeast of Olive Drive and Santa Fe Way. (Ward 4). Sierra Club appealed the Planning Commission decision. Developer, Tom Dee from RFG Properties, Inc. requested the public appeal hearing be opened and continued to September 16, 2026, since they are negotiating a settlement with the Appellant, Sierra Club.

Open and continue the public hearing to the September 16, 2026, regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

RECOMMENDATION:

City staff recommends opening and continuing the public appeal hearing to the City Council meeting on September 16, 2026.

BACKGROUND:

The applicant/developer requested that this hearing be continued because they state they may be close to settling the matter with the appellant, the Sierra Club, which would result in the withdrawal of the appeal. Additional time is needed to continue discussions. The appellant is agreeable to the continuance.

Environmental Review. Based upon an initial study, Staff determined the proposed project, with mitigation, would not have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) was prepared for this project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The MND was circulated for public and agency review from February 5, 2026, to March 9, 2026. The following special studies were submitted: biological resources, cultural resources and air quality analysis.

Public Notification. All required public notices have been given for both the Planning Commission public hearing held on June 4, 2026, and the City Council public hearing of August 26, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact with the proposed subdivision of land. Development which will occur as a result of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 7451 (Phased) will be subject to the appropriate application processing fees that have been determined to be sufficient to cover all operational expenses related to processing projects.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: DEFFERRED BUSINESS TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager
DATE: August 26, 2026
SUBJECT: Adopt a resolution approving an interfund loan in an amount not to exceed $12,100,000 and appropriate funding to complete the acquisition of 1430 and 1440 Truxtun Avenue pursuant to Council-approved purchase agreement.

1. Adopt resolution to approve the interfund loan of $12,100,000 to complete the acquisition of the property and all tenant improvements.

2. Appropriate and transfer $2,075,000 from the Capital Facility Reserve Fund to the Capital Outlay Fund for the payment to complete the acquisition of the property.

3. Appropriate the loaned funds of $12,100,000 to the Capital Outlay Fund to expend on the purchase.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends Council adopt resolution approve the appropriations BACKGROUND:

Consistent with City Council direction to achieve ongoing operational savings, staff identified during budget preparation for the current fiscal year that the ongoing payments for Police Department leased office space presented an opportunity for cost efficiencies. Staff had been searching for more than two years for alternative office spaces that would represent lower long-term operating and maintenance costs. Prior Council directions included searching for office space to return Police Department staff to the downtown core. In late 2025 staff identified a downtown office building that would not only meet our current space needs but also create the capacity for future office space as the City organization grows along with the growth of the community. The identified property had additional advantages of a parking garage and existing tenants that generate revenue in the interim years to offset our operating and purchase costs. This transaction creates in the long term $1 million annual savings in the Police Department budget and acquiring a future asset for the City.

On March 11, 2026, City Council approved a lease and option to purchase the real property located at 1430 and 1440 Truxtun Avenue (the “Property”). The Property consists of a 10-story office building with approximately 127,504 square feet with a parking garage located on 2.3 acres of land on a prime corner in downtown Bakersfield near City Hall.

Council approved and allowed for the due diligence period to begin in March and conclude in Mid-July.

The due diligence was to help staff understand the building condition prior to moving forward with the purchase. Staff conducted the due diligence consistent with Council direction to contract with a variety of vendors to perform multiple inspections. During the inspections and due diligence period there were no issues discovered that suggest the City should not move forward with the purchase of the building. The due diligence was valuable in documenting some expected operating issues that will need to be addressed through regular maintenance schedules over the next 5 to 10 years. Staff were able to leverage due diligence information to ensure two maintenance issues were addressed prior to purchase of the building and to obtain a purchase credit of $250,000 to address building maintenance needs during our first year of ownership.

Staff have negotiated final purchase terms that are consistent with Council direction and authorization within the original lease and purchase agreement from March 2026. As outlined below in the Fiscal Impact section, staff is seeking Council approval of an allocation from the Capital Facility Reserve and an interfund loan from the Equipment Fund to complete the transaction.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total fiscal impact for the acquisition of the property and tenant improvements to move police department staff into the building is $14.6 million. As outlined in the table below, the final reduced cost to acquire the building is $13.35 million. Planned tenant improvements total $1.1 million.

Staff are recommending Council approval of an interfund loan from the Equipment Fund in the amount of $12,100,000 as the primary funding source for this transaction. The Equipment Fund has sufficient fund balance for this interfund loan. The Interfund Loan Agreement outlines a 12-year loan repayment schedule at 2.5% interest. The loan agreement is consistent with the Council Interfund Loan Policy. The Annual Debt Service is approximately $1,100,000. Staff targeted this debt service amount because it is 1) consistent with the lease payment amount the Police Department would be expending in future years for leased office space and 2) consistent with the operating revenues and expenses for the acquired building.

Instead of making annual lease payments for office space, the annual debt service will pay toward acquisition of an important long-term asset for the City. In addition, overall costs are reduced because of the lease revenues from other tenants in Property.

In addition to the interfund loan, staff recommend allocating funds from the Capital Facilities Reserve.

Included in the original lease and purchase agreement, the City Council approved a deposit in the amount of $425,000 from the Capital Facility Reserve fund which will be applied to the purchase price of the Property. Staff are recommending an additional allocation of $2,075,000 from the Capital Facility Reserve to complete the acquisition of the property and complete tenant improvements. Staff also recommend payback into the Capital Facilities Reserve of the $2.5 million within a minimum of five years. Staff anticipate recommending allocations to the Capital Facilities Reserve from one-time funding sources at mid-year and during the annual budget process.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: New Business TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager
DATE: August 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Contingency Funds for Clean Cities Special Project [Document Description]
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the approval of contingency funds in the amount of $500,000 for cleanup of a major illegal dumping site in the City.

BACKGROUND:

The City has been engaged in a multi-departmental effort called our Clean City Initiative. The mission of this initiative is to create a clean city throughout our community through programs like neighborhood clean-ups, adopt-a-park and private contracts for litter and debris removal. In addition, we employ a cross-functional Clean City Team, which focuses on hot spot areas of the City that need extra help with significant debris, chronic homeless encampment and addressing major health and safety code violations. The Team consists of our Police Department’s Impact Team, Code Enforcement’s Rapid Response Team, Recreation and Park’s Storm Team/Park Rangers, as well as the Water Department, Public Works Solid Waste and City Manager’s Office to help in collaboration.

The Clean City Team has verified a site of over 50 acres in the Southeast part of the City, located South of Brook Street, East of Hale Street and adjacent to East Planz Avenue that has significant accumulation of debris, illegally dumped materials, and associated public health and safety concerns. This is a chronic illegal dumping site that has a history of Code compliance and has already been cleaned up by the City multiple times in recent years. It has been a challenging location for the private property owner to secure and maintain. At this point the scope and urgency to clean up this property requires City intervention.

A project of this magnitude would expend the majority of annual clean up funds from Solid Waste and Code Enforcement’s budgets. The Clean City Team has engaged a private vendor to assist in the Cleanup. Combining this assistance with funds from Code Enforcement and the additional recommended contingency funds would allow the City enough resources to remove accumulated trash and debris, conduct a thorough cleanup of the property, and coordinate appropriate outreach and enforcement efforts to address individuals experiencing homelessness who are currently occupying the site.

The goal is to restore the property to a clean, safe, and usable condition while connecting individuals experiencing homelessness with available services and resources. The City team is also working with the new Private Property owners, and they will share in the cost of major clean-up.

In addition to the initial cleanup, staff recommend that a portion of the funding be used to secure the site and prevent the conditions from recurring. This may include the installation of physical barriers, fencing, gates, K-rails, Rip Raft (larger rocks or concrete) and other appropriate access-control measures designed to prevent vehicles from entering the property for the purpose of illegal dumping or unauthorized occupation of the Site. The City should also evaluate lighting, signage, surveillance, and periodic enforcement as appropriate. These measures are critical because simply removing the debris without addressing continued unauthorized access and illegal dumping could result in the City facing repeated cleanup costs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the $500,000 appropriation from the Capital Improvement Project Contingency set aside by Council in the current fiscal year would provide the City with the resources necessary to address the immediate conditions while establishing a longer-term strategy for maintaining the site. This investment will improve public health and safety, reduce blight, discourage future illegal dumping, and demonstrate the City's commitment to protecting neighborhoods and maintaining clean, safe, and accessible properties. Also, the Property Owners will be leaned based on the amount of the City’s investment in resources into the site.

COUNCIL GOAL:
