Lynn Trucking Inc.

Lynn Trucking Inc. has applied for a Conditional Use Permit and a Zone Variance from Kern County to develop a large travel center on Highway Commercial - Precise Development Combining District land in California. The proposed facility includes a 60-room hotel, an 8,548-square-foot convenience store with a drive-through restaurant, two multi-use buildings each housing 2,178 square feet of fast-food restaurants with drive-through service, and 5,220 square feet of additional retail space. The site will also feature seven diesel fuel truck pumps, sixteen vehicle fuel pumps, a two-tunnel truck wash, and a truck repair facility to support commercial transportation needs. To increase visibility and branding, the applicant seeks a variance to erect a 75-foot-tall pole sign with a 560-square-foot face area, exceeding the district’s standard limit of 35 feet and 240 square feet. The project is being coordinated by Kern County’s planning department with direct contact through Planner April Wentworth and Project Engineer Melissa Snyder, while Karan Gill of Lynn Trucking Inc. serves as the primary representative. The application was posted as a forecast on July 13, 2026, and is accessible through the state’s CEQA net portal.
