This project, identified by permit number PLN21-02348, involves land use modifications for a 19.76-acre parcel located north of Cummings Valley Road and west of Bear Valley Road in Tehachapi, California. Approved by the Kern County Board of Supervisors on December 9, 2025, the project consists of three primary actions: amending the Greater Tehachapi Area Specific and Community Plan from Map Code 8.1/2.7 to Map Code 5.7/2.7, changing the zone classification from Exclusive Agriculture to Estate Residential Suburban Combining to facilitate future five-acre residential developments, and obtaining an agricultural exclusion from Agricultural Preserve No. 18. The project was determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State CEQA Guidelines, as it was concluded that the action would not have a significant effect on the environment. Administrative processing of the project involved total fees of 8,031.00, covering costs such as zone changes, general and specific plan amendments, fire review, and legal description reviews. The project is administered by the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources department.
