Lot Line Adjustment No. 25-25

Lot Line Adjustment No. 25-25 is a regulatory action authorized by the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department for adjacent parcels located on the north side of Mountain View Road and the east side of Hylton Lane in Bakersfield, California. The project is a minor adjustment that does not create additional parcels and is categorically exempt under CEQA Section 15305. Approval is valid for one year from August 12, 2026, with potential extensions granted by the Director of the Planning and Natural Resources Department. Key requirements include the submission of a Lot Line Adjustment map prepared by a licensed surveyor or registered civil engineer, along with grant deeds or a Letter of Intent from a title company. The parcels must comply with Exclusive Agriculture zoning, maintaining a minimum gross lot size of 20 acres. Because the land is restricted by a Williamson Act Land Use Contract, the applicant must rescind existing contracts and enter into new ones. Additionally, the project must adhere to safety standards regarding abandoned oil wells, requiring specific building setbacks and potential remediation approved by the California Geologic Energy Management Division. All access roads must be traversable by a standard passenger car with a maximum grade of 15 percent.
