Conditional Use Permit Case No. 15, Map 47-30

A Conditional Use Permit has been applied for to establish a 33-bed residential care facility alongside an off-site auto-parking lot spanning two parcels totaling approximately 22,212 square feet within a C-2 General Commercial district in Inyokern, Kern County, California. The project is located at the southeast corner of Inyokern Road and 2nd Street, with property identifiers APN 084-100-02 and 084-100-13, and is governed by Section 19.32.030.E of the Kern County Zoning Code. The application has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Section 15182 due to a special situation. The permit application, identified as Case No. 15, Map 47-30, was received on October 24, 2025, following a public hearing on October 9, 2025, and is being processed by the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department. The applicant is Christopher Martinez Diaz, represented by licensed architect Gary Olson, with April Wentworth, Planner I, serving as the primary point of contact for the county. No federal contract mechanisms apply; the document is purely a local land use permit submission with no associated procurement clauses, pricing, delivery schedules, payment terms, inspection criteria, or federal acquisition regulation requirements. The effort involves regulatory approval from the Kern County Planning Commission rather than a contractual award, with no indication of financial value, contract type, or performance metrics beyond the permit approval itself.
