Cornerstone Engineering Inc is seeking approval on behalf of property owners Antonio Jimenez, Nunez, and Raymond Villanueva to amend the General Plan and rezone approximately 20 acres in Bakersfield, California, identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 524-160-09. The current land use designations of R-IA, R-MP, and LR are to be changed to LR and MUC, while the existing zoning of R-1 and R-1/PUD will be updated to R-1 and MX-1 to facilitate a mixed-use commercial development. The project will transform the site into an event venue capable of hosting up to 52 large gatherings annually with 250 to 300 guests each, alongside one to two smaller monthly events accommodating up to 100 guests, utilizing existing residential structures. In addition, the development includes a 2,500 square-foot fast-food restaurant with a drive-through window and a convenience store equipped with 16 fueling pumps. The proposal is formally designated as General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. CGPA-25-0004 and was posted on July 28, 2026, under the jurisdiction of the City of Bakersfield, with primary contact information provided by Assistant Planner Yazid Alawgarey and Project Manager Patricia Newquist.
