Project PLN25-00247 involves a request for a Zone Variance and Zone Modification by the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department for a property located at the southeast corner of Inyo Street and Woodward Avenue in Lost Hills, California. The project seeks to reduce the side-yard setback to eight inches from the required ten feet to allow for the construction of a 1,230-square-foot single-family dwelling. Additionally, it requests a reduction of the front-yard setback to 67 feet from the required 80 feet to facilitate the construction of a 1,200-square-foot Accessory Dwelling Unit on an approximate 8,400-square-foot parcel within an R-1 Low-density Residential District. The project has been issued a Notice of Exemption under the Common Sense Exemption of the State CEQA Guidelines, indicating no significant environmental impact. Administrative oversight is managed by Planner II Mayra Martinez, with a hearing date scheduled for May 21, 2026. Total application and penalty fees associated with the land use request amount to 4,933.50 dollars, covering costs for the zone variance, zone modification, legal description review, and zoning violation penalties.
