The City of Bakersfield is processing Zone Modification No. PP-ZM-25-0010 to adjust setback requirements on Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7334 located in the R-2 (Small Lot Single-Unit Dwelling) zone, specifically at the northeast corner of South Allen Road and Panama Lane, Bakersfield, CA 93311. The modification reduces the required agricultural setback from 50 feet to 20 feet where the adjoining property is zoned agricultural, in accordance with BMC 17.08.150 A, and reduces the front yard setback from 15 feet to 9 feet for residential lots, as permitted under BMC Table 17.10-2. This action is classified as a minor alteration to land use limitations and has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Section 15305. The project is not a procurement or service contract; no pricing, contract types, clauses, payment systems, or federal acquisition regulation provisions apply. The submission was due by January 16, 2026, and was processed through the City’s Planning Department with supporting documentation including a certified exemption finding. The applicant, Isabella Herrera of McIntosh & Associates, submitted the request, and the lead agency contact is Associate Planner Louis A Ramirez. Approval hinges solely on compliance with municipal zoning codes, and there are no competitive evaluations, award criteria, or contractor performance obligations. The place of performance is the project site in Bakersfield, and inspection and acceptance responsibilities rest with the City as the approving authority. No federal reporting, socioeconomic certifications, or electronic invoicing systems are involved.
