Tentative Parcel Map 12559

Tentative Parcel Map 12559 is a land development project in Kern County, California, located in the Valley Acres/Taft area. The project involves dividing a 20.12-acre gross parcel into four parcels ranging from 5 to 5.12 acres each. The approval includes specific development variations to the Kern County Land Division Ordinance, authorizing a 20-foot wide private access easement instead of a 40-foot public easement and allowing the use of reverse corner lots. The project is subject to a three-year expiration period starting from the approval date of July 14, 2026. Compliance requirements for the project are extensive, focusing on environmental protection and public safety. Key deliverables include the submission of a final map, title guarantees, and tax certificates. Mandatory operational standards include preconstruction biological surveys to protect special-status species, strict dust and noise controls, and the installation of all utilities underground. The project must also adhere to the California Fire Code for road access, Kern County floodplain management ordinances, and specific protocols for the discovery of archaeological resources or human remains. Administrative oversight and final acceptance are managed by the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department and the Public Works Department.
