Modification No. 1, Conditional Use Permit Case No. 1, Map 61

Modification No. 1 to Conditional Use Permit No. 1, Map 61, seeks to extend the authorized operation of a kennel housing no more than 25 dogs on a 20.07-acre parcel located in the A (Exclusive Agriculture) District on the west side of Snow Saunders Road, approximately 1,500 feet south of Poso Flat Road in unincorporated Bakersfield, California. The original permit, approved on December 12, 2019, for a five-year term, is being amended to continue operations under the same conditions without modification to the permitted number of animals, parcel size, or land use classification. The request is processed under Kern County’s zoning ordinance Section 19.12.030.K and has been determined categorically exempt from environmental review under Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines, indicating no significant environmental impact is anticipated. The application was officially received on May 23, 2025, following a public hearing on May 8, 2025, and the applicant is John and Bonnie Thomson, with primary contact Sara Eickenhorst, Planner III for Kern County Planning and Natural Resources. The project is not a federal acquisition and contains no FAR clauses, pricing, delivery schedules, performance metrics, or contracting officer designations; instead, it operates entirely under local land use authority and environmental exemption procedures. All submissions are to be mailed to the Kern County Planning Department at 2700 "M" Street, Suite 100, Bakersfield, CA 93301, and no electronic submission method or file format requirements were specified. There are no contract values, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or federal procurement elements present as this is a non-competitive land use permit modification governed solely by California state and county regulations.
