Site Plan Review (Project No. 25-0145)

The City of Bakersfield is conducting a site plan review for the proposed construction of a 1,918 square foot duplex and a 959 square foot detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) located at 1733 Buena Vista Street in Bakersfield, California. This review is part of a local land use process governed by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically under the categorical exemption for In-Fill Development (Class 32, Section 15332), which exempts the project from further environmental review provided it meets specified local zoning and compatibility criteria. The project is not a federal acquisition and does not involve any Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, subcontracting requirements, payment systems, or procurement clauses typically associated with government contracts. The applicant, Shanti Holdings, submitted a Notice of Exemption on September 8, 2025, with the review process posted publicly on September 9, 2025. The primary deliverable is administrative approval from the City’s Development Services Department – Planning, confirming compliance with CEQA and local regulations, not the execution of construction services. Ashley Knight, Assistant Planner at the City of Bakersfield, serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries and oversees the review. No contract value, pricing structure, delivery schedule, inspection criteria, or technical specifications beyond land use compliance are outlined. Submissions are expected in physical form, with no electronic portal or formal proposal format specified, and no federal certifications, entity identifiers, or socioeconomic status representations are required or included. The process is fully administrative and localized, focused solely on environmental exemption verification and zoning compatibility.
