Site Plan Review 24-188 Automated Carwash

The City of Wasco is reviewing a site plan application to construct a 20-foot by 20-foot facility at 2840 Highway 46, Wasco, California, to house an automated tunnel carwash and 13 self-serve vacuum stalls. The project is classified as an infill development and qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15332, which eliminates the need for a full environmental impact report but requires submission of a Notice of Exemption and supporting documentation. The applicant, Melissa Snyder of KSI Engineering, Inc., has filed the necessary materials including receipts for environmental review fees, a Department of Fish and Wildlife No Effect Determination, and payment for a $50 county administrative fee. The review and approval authority rests with the City of Wasco’s Planning Department, with Evelyn Murillo serving as the primary point of contact. The submission follows local procedural guidelines requiring physical copies of forms and attachments, with no electronic filing system in place, and must be delivered to either the City of Wasco or Kern County Clerk’s Office. The project does not involve a formal federal contract with solicitation numbers, contract line items, or FAR clauses, nor does it include pricing details, delivery schedules, inspection criteria, or federal procurement certifications. Instead, it is a local permitting and environmental compliance process centered on ensuring the development meets municipal codes and state environmental exemption requirements. Financial transactions are limited to non-contractual administrative fees paid via check, money order, or cash to the Kern County Auditor Controller, and there is no identified contract value, award basis, or performance period defined in the documentation.
