Site Plan Review PP-SPR-25-0209 (an ADU Master Plan)

The City of Bakersfield is undertaking a site plan review for a 10-lot master plan along Blackwater Valley Drive in an R-1 zoning district, aiming to reconfigure ten existing large homes into smaller primary dwellings, each paired with an attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The project, identified internally as PP-SPR-25-0209, is classified under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15303 as a categorical exemption for minor alterations to existing structures, indicating a determination of minimal environmental impact. The proposed development will impact specific lots within Tract 6880, Phase 4, located on both the odd and even sides of Blackwater Valley Drive, and requires approval of conceptual site plans by the City’s Development Services Department – Planning. The applicant, Lennar Homes of California, Inc., must submit a certified finding of exemption and confirm compliance with local zoning regulations as part of the review process, with no federal procurement elements involved. There is no formal contract value, pricing structure, or defined period of performance, as this is not a federal procurement but a local land use review process. The City of Bakersfield serves as both the lead agency and the approving authority, with Assistant Planner Wayne Lawson listed as the primary point of contact for administrative and planning matters. No federal acquisition regulations (FAR), contract clauses, evaluation factors, payment details, or contracting officer representatives are applicable or present, since the project falls under municipal planning and environmental compliance procedures. The submission process requires physical or electronic documentation of the CEQA exemption certification and confirmation of filing with the California Natural Resources Agency, but no standardized proposal format, submission deadlines, or quality inspection criteria beyond compliance with CEQA and local zoning are specified. The entire effort is administrative and regulatory, focused on enabling construction of high-density, low-impact ADU-integrated housing within an established residential neighborhood.
