Site Plan Review PP-SPR-25-0199

The City of Bakersfield is moving forward with the ministerial approval and construction of a 902 square-foot detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on a residential property located at 7319 Whitney Creek Court in the R-1 (Single-Unit Dwelling) zoning district. The project has been determined to qualify for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15303, which covers the construction of small residential structures, thereby exempting it from discretionary environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Approval is based on compliance with local zoning standards, including setbacks, lot coverage, and size limitations, with no need for discretionary permits or public hearings. The site plan review, identified as PP-SPR-25-0199, was posted on August 7, 2025, with an associated exemption filing confirmed as part of the administrative process, and the lead agency contact is Assistant Planner Yazid Alawgarey. The project does not involve federal procurement mechanisms and therefore contains no Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, solicitation numbers, or federal contracting elements such as accounting codes, invoicing procedures, or contracting officer details. There is no contract value listed, no pricing structure, no delivery or performance schedule, and no formal evaluation criteria or award basis since this is not a competitive procurement but rather a permitting and exemption process governed by state and local law. The applicant, Mike Hernandez, serves as the project manager and is responsible for ensuring the ADU construction complies with applicable building and zoning codes, while the City of Bakersfield acts as the approving authority. All documentation is tied to local planning procedures, and submission of the certified exemption notice and supporting plans is required for final approval, with no electronic portal or formal proposal format mandated. The work is entirely site-specific and limited to the construction of the ADU, with no additional services, supplies, or federal compliance obligations included.
