Conditional Use Permit Case No. 52, Map 214

Kern County has issued a Conditional Use Permit to allow the continued occupancy of a 50-year-old mobilehome on a 2.5-acre parcel located at 660 feet north of Novak Avenue on the east side of 60th Street West in Mojave, California, within an A-1 MH (Limited Agriculture – Mobilehome Combining) District. This permit is an exception to the local zoning code provision that restricts mobilehomes to a maximum age of 30 years, as outlined in Section 19.62.030.A. The project site is identified by APN 345-123-14, and the permit has been approved administratively following a hearing on March 26, 2026, with no competitive solicitation or source selection process involved. The application was submitted electronically through the Accela portal, and the approval was contingent upon payment of associated fees totaling $3,818, which include a Conditional Use Permit fee of $1,456, Fire Review of $218, Electronic Permit Fee of $350, Penalties for Zoning Violations of $728, Policy and Legal Conformance fees, Notice to Process, Legal Description Review, Land Development, and CEQA Posting. The applicant, Pedro Chavez Garcia, is the property owner and is not subject to federal procurement requirements, as the permitting process is a local regulatory action governed by county zoning and environmental law rather than a federal contract. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15303, which excludes it from extensive environmental review due to its minimal impact as an in-fill land use. All administrative oversight, payment collection, and compliance monitoring are handled by the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department, with Daisy Gaeta serving as the primary planner contact and Craig M. Murphy as Director. No federal contracting clauses, solicitation codes, packaging specifications, inspection standards, or contractor representations apply, as this is not a federal acquisition but a local land use authorization. The permit allows for the lawful use of the existing mobilehome without requiring its replacement or removal, and the approval is effective at the property location in Mojave, California.
