7th Standard Marketplace Project; Planned Development Review No. 25-0022 and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 12633

The 7th Standard Marketplace Project, managed by the City of Bakersfield under Planned Development Review No. 25-0022 and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 12633, involves the transformation of a 36-gross-acre agricultural site into a commercial hub. Located at the southwest corner of 7th Standard Road and Calloway Drive, the project will subdivide the land into 11 parcels to accommodate approximately 225,365 square feet of commercial space. The development will feature nine single-story buildings, including a Costco Warehouse anchor store, a fuel facility, one automated car wash, four drive-through restaurants, and a drive-through financial institution, along with additional retail and restaurant spaces. To ensure environmental compliance, the City of Bakersfield is conducting an Environmental Impact Report as part of the California Environmental Quality Act process. This includes a public scoping meeting and a formal review period from August 19, 2026, to September 21, 2026, to analyze potential environmental impacts. In addition to the primary commercial structures, the project scope encompasses the construction of a drainage basin and necessary offsite roadway and utility improvements to support the new development.
