Zone Modification Case No. 47, Map 101

A request has been submitted to modify zoning regulations on a 2 1/4-acre parcel located in the E (2 1/2) RS Residential Suburban Combining District in Bakersfield, California, to allow construction of a 10-foot-tall masonry wall along the southern property line’s side-yard setback, where the default maximum height permitted is six feet under Section 19.08.210.A. This modification seeks special authorization to exceed the standard height limit, likely to address privacy, security, or aesthetic concerns unique to the property. The request is formally designated as Zone Modification Case No. 47, Map 101, and was posted on August 7, 2026, as a forecasted action under Kern County’s jurisdiction. The primary point of contact for this matter is Sara Eickenhorst, Planner III at Kern County, reachable via phone or email, with additional contacts including the property owner, Aaron Jiang, and the individual representative, Laramie Wilson from PDA Architects. The project is tied to a specific California environmental review system and can be referenced through a public link. No formal procurement or set-aside details are indicated, suggesting this is a local land-use decision rather than a contracted procurement, requiring approval from county planning authorities to proceed with construction as proposed.
