General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. 24-60000040

The City of Bakersfield is processing a land use amendment request on approximately 5.39 acres located at Assessor’s Parcel Number 532-050-09 in Bakersfield, California, seeking to rezone the property from R-1 Single-Unit Dwelling to C-2/PCD Regional Commercial/Planned Commercial Development and update the General Plan designation from LR Low Density Commercial to GC General Commercial. The project, submitted by McIntosh & Associates on behalf of Kern Land Partners LLC, aims to facilitate commercial development that serves the surrounding community and includes a proposed parcel map for future subdivision. The request is being evaluated under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with environmental impact assessments covering air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology, greenhouse gas emissions, traffic, utilities, hazardous materials, hydrology, noise, recreation, agricultural resources, land use, and population/housing. Mitigation measures have been proposed to reduce identified impacts to less-than-significant levels, leading to a Mitigated Negative Declaration as the appropriate environmental documentation level. All inspection and acceptance authority rests with the City of Bakersfield’s Development Services Department, which serves as the lead agency under CEQA and enforces compliance with state and local standards, including the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards, Bakersfield Municipal Code, SJVAPCD guidelines, and protocols for cultural resources and hazardous materials handling. There is no traditional federal contract structure, procurement process, or funding mechanism associated with this action. No contract value, pricing details, payment terms, invoicing procedures, accounting codes, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are present, as this is strictly a municipal land use and environmental review process. No contracting officer, contracting officer’s representative, or technical representative has been designated in a federal procurement context. The project is governed by state and local regulations, with no military or defense-related packaging, labeling, or preservation standards applicable. The project timeline includes a public review period from December 1, 2025, to December 30, 2025, and formal approvals are expected to be issued after environmental compliance determinations are finalized. All supporting documents, including cultural resource surveys and water service verification, are submitted as part of the CEQA compliance process and are reviewed by designated city departments, not through any federal contracting framework. The point of contact for the project is Yazid Alawgarey, Assistant Planner at the City of Bakersfield Development Services Department, with supporting coordination from McIntosh & Associates
