Legal, Nonconforming Case No. 2, Map 167

Legal, Nonconforming Case No. 2, Map 167 is a project request submitted to the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department to consider vested mining rights for approximately 206 acres of land. The project area is located in an Exclusive Agriculture District in unincorporated Kern County, situated approximately 1.5 miles north of Highway 58 and two miles east of the City of Tehachapi, abutting the existing Monolith Limestone Quarry. The request is associated with property owners Tehachapi Cement, LLC and UNACEM North America. The project has been granted a Notice of Exemption under Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, as the department determined there is no possibility of a significant environmental impact. Administrative oversight is managed by Planner III Randall P. Cates and Director Craig M. Murphy. Financial records indicate the payment of processing fees, including a notice to process fee, county clerk CEQA posting, electronic permit maintenance, and appeal fees.
