Conditional Use Permit Case No. 298, Map 103-21

Kern County is seeking approval for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a two-story, 15,239-square-foot multipurpose building at the existing Probation Youth Detention Center located at 1831 Ridge Road in Bakersfield, California, on a 15.6-acre parcel zoned R-1. The project, identified as Case No. 298 and referenced under PLN25-00172, is led by Kern County General Services with Radian Design Group, Inc. as the design agent and is exempt from full environmental review under CEQA Section 15183 as a minor addition to an existing public facility. The total cost for permitting fees amounts to $2,965, covering the Conditional Use Permit, Fire Review and Consultation, Electronic Permit Maintenance, Policy and Legal Conformance, Legal Description Review, EH Land Development, and County Clerk CEQA Posting. The application was publicly noticed with a hearing scheduled for March 26, 2026, and the permit forecast was posted on June 17, 2026. Key contacts include Planner I Robert Williams and Architect Cesar Juarez from the Planning and Natural Resources Department, which oversees review and approval through the Kern County Planning Commission. While the NAICS code 236220 is listed, the transaction is a local land-use permit with no federal contract structure, FAR clauses, or federal acquisition regulations applicable. No federal contracting mechanisms such as COR, COTR, PCO, payment offices, TAAs, or SAM/UEI identifiers are involved, and the process is governed entirely by local zoning codes and state environmental guidelines. The project does not include options, performance periods, delivery schedules, or federal-style inspection, acceptance, or packaging requirements.
