Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 12498 Page 2
BACKGROUND AND TIMELINE:
• August 6, 1986 - City Council approved the proposed amendment to the Land Use and Circulation
Element of the General Plan and adopted the Casa Loma Specific Plan (Ordinance No. 3063).
• August 25, 1986 - Kern County Board of Supervisors adopted the Casa Loma Specific Plan (CLSP) and
certified the related Environmental Impact Report. The CLSP consisted of residential, commercial,
recreational, public, institutional, and industrial uses to be developed on 3,461 acres. The CLSP
designated the project site as 7.2 Service Industrial (Resolution No. 86-502 and Ordinance No. G-
4268).
• October 2, 1991 - The project site was annexed into the City as part of the Mt Vernon No. 5 annexation
(Annexation No. 348).
• November 17, 1999 - City Council approved Zone Change No. P99-0450 and adopted a Negative
Declaration to change 3,461 acres from CLSP designations to similar city zone districts including RS-
2.5, RS, E, R-2, R—3, C-2, M-1, M-2, M-3, and OS zones. The zone classification for the project site
changed from 7.2 Service Industrial to M-2 (General Manufacturing) (Ordinance No. 3935).
• March 9, 2022 - Site Plan Review No. 21-0450 approved for the construction of three warehouse
buildings and ancillary trailer storage yard.
• August 9, 2023 - The application for Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 12498 was deemed complete.
PROJECT ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a parcel map to subdivide 141.46 gross acres into four industrial parcels and
one designated remainder in the M-2 (General Manufacturing) zone. Parcel sizes range from 2.22 acres
to 58.67 acres and is proposed to be developed for purposes of warehousing and distribution.
Circulation. Access to this subdivision would be from East Belle Terrace (collector) on the subdivision's
north boundary and from South Mount Vernon (arterial) on the east. As part of future development, Casa
Loma Drive (arterial) on the south and South Washington Street (collector) on the west will be
constructed.
Mineral Rights. In accordance with the California Government Code or Subdivision Map Act Section
66445(e), mineral rights owners’ signatures are not required on final parcel maps with four or fewer
parcels. This parcel map contains four parcels and one designated remainder. Section 66424.6(a)(1) goes
on to state “The designated remainder shall not be counted as a parcel for the purpose of determining
whether a parcel or final map is required.”
The applicant submitted a letter from the California Department of Conservation’s Division of Geologic
Energy Management (CalGEM) stating the project site is beyond their administrative boundaries of oil or
gas fields. However, there is one known well on the property but no known active operators of record. If
a well is uncovered, staff is recommending a condition of approval requiring the subdivider to consult with
CalGEM regarding proper abandonment of the well (Condition 33).
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 12498 Page 3
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION:
Based upon an initial environmental assessment, staff determined the proposed project is categorically
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with Section 15315, Minor Land
Division. Class 15 categorical exemptions consist of the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for
residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the division is in conformance
with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are required, all services and access to the
proposed parcels to local standards are available, the parcel was not involved in a division of a larger
parcel within the previous 2 years, and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent.
The project meets the criteria for this categorical exemption.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
Public notice for the proposed project and environmental determination was advertised in The Bakersfield
Californian and posted on the bulletin board in the City of Bakersfield Development Services Building,
1715 Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, California. All property owners within 300 feet of the project site were
notified by United States Postal Service mail regarding this public hearing in accordance with city
ordinance and state law. Signs are required as part of the public notification process and must be posted
between 20 to 60 days before the public hearing date. Photographs of the posted signage and the
Declaration of Posting Public Hearing Notice signed by the applicant are on file at the Planning Division.
Comments Received. As of this writing, no written public comments have been received.
CONCLUSIONS:
Consistency with General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has requested approval of VTPM
12498 to subdivide 141.46 acres into 4 parcels and one designated remainder for warehousing and
distribution purposes. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the SI (Service Industrial) designation
of the project site for industrial type uses.
The proposed development has been processed separately through Site Plan Review (SPR 21-0450). This
process provides City Departments (Building, Planning, Fire, Water Resources, Engineering, Traffic, Solid
Waste, and as necessary Recreation & Parks and Police Department) to review the project and ensure
development plans adhere to all applicable City development standards, policies, and ordinances.
Recommendation. Staff finds that the applicable provisions of CEQA have been complied with, and the
proposal is compatible with the existing land use designation and land uses in the surrounding area. Staff
finds the proposed subdivision is reasonable and the request to waive mineral rights is consistent with
the Subdivision Map Act. Based on information in the record, Staff recommends your Commission adopt
the Resolution and findings APPROVING Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 12498 as outlined in this staff
report subject to the recommended conditions.

EXHIBIT “A” VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 12498
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
NOTE to Subdivider/Applicant: It is important that you review and comply with requirements and deadlines listed in the “FOR YOUR INFORMATION” packet that is
provided separately. This packet contains existing ordinance requirements, policies, and departmental operating procedures as they may apply to this subdivision.
PUBLIC WORKS
1. There was no letter submitted requesting deviations from standards.
2. Approval of this tentative map does not indicate approval of grading, drainage
lines and appurtenant facilities shown, or any variations from ordinance, standard,
and policy requirements which have neither been requested nor specifically
approved.
3. Prior to grading plan review submit the following for review and approval:
3.1. A drainage study for the entire subdivision shall be submitted for review and
approval by the City Engineer. Drainage from this project site including street
frontage shall be kept on site. The proposed sump and all onsite storm drain
within this development shall be privately maintained. A flowage and drainage
easement shall be recorded prior to approval of the grading plans.
3.2. A sewer study to include the entire subdivision and showing what surrounding
areas may be served by the main line extensions. Submit verification to the City Engineer of the existing sewer capability to accept the additional flows to be
generated through the development.
3.3. If the parcel map is discharging storm water to a canal, a channel, or the Kern
River: In order to meet the requirements of the City of Bakersfield’s NPDES permit, and to prevent the introduction of sediments from construction or from storm
events to the waters of the US, all storm water systems that ultimately convey drainage to the river or a canal shall incorporate the use of both source control
BMP’s and structural treatment control BMP’s.
4. The following conditions must be reflected in the design of the improvement plans:
4.1. Final plan check fees shall be submitted with the first plan check submission.
4.2. Per Resolution 108-23 the area within the Parcel Map shall implement and
comply with the “complete streets” policy. Complete streets will require
pedestrian and bicycle access to the subdivision from existing sidewalks and
bike lanes. If there is a gap less than 0.25 mile then construction of asphalt
sidewalks and bike lanes to the subdivision will be required.
4.3. Install traffic signal interconnect conduit and pull rope for the frontage in all
arterials and collectors.

4.4. In addition to other paving requirements, on and off-site road improvements may be required from any collector or arterial street to provide left and right
turn channelization into each street (or access point) within the subdivision (or development), where warranted and as directed by the City Engineer. Said
channelization shall be developed to provide necessary transitions and deceleration lanes to meet the current CalTrans standards for the design speed
of the roadway in question.
4.5. Off-site pavement and striping construction will be required to transition from the
proposed/ultimate on-site improvements to the existing conditions at the time construction commences. Transitions must be designed in accordance with City
Standards and/or the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. If existing conditions
change during the period of time between street improvement plan approval
and construction commencement, the street improvement plans must be
revised and approved by the City Engineer.
5. The subdivider shall either construct the equivalent full width landscaped median
island in S Mt Vernon Ave and Casa Loma Dr for the length of the site’s frontage, or
pay $100 per linear foot (their proportionate share of the cost for the future
construction of the median).
Median islands shall be designed by the first tract to be approved on a side. The
medians may be constructed by the first tract on a side, or the median island fees
shall be paid. NOTE: MEDIAN CONSTRUCTION AND LANDSCAPING COSTS MAY BE
BASED ON ESTIMATES APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER per City standards unless
costs (median fees) have been previously identified in previous conditions for the
same property. The median estimate shall include line items for curb, stamped
concrete, landscaping, irrigation piping and controllers. If the median island is not
constructed, the second tract across the street shall construct and landscape the
median island. Construction or payment shall be for the full width street frontage of
the land being subdivided. The total cost may be apportioned between the phases
and paid prior to recordation of each phase if he elects to pay his share of the costs
for the future construction.
6. The phasing map as submitted may be unbalanced with respect to the required
improvements along the Parcel Map frontages. Therefore, in order to promote orderly development, each phase shall be responsible for an equal dollar amount of
frontage improvement. Prior to recordation of a final map for any phase that does not construct its share of the improvements, the difference between the cost of the
frontage improvements constructed and the phase share shall be placed into an escrow account. The money deposited in this account would be for the use of the
developer of any future phase responsible for more than its share of improvements. The final per lot share will be based upon an approved engineer’s estimate. In lieu of
the use of an escrow account, the developer may choose to construct with each phase its proportionate share of the frontage improvements, with approval of the
City Engineer.

of the parcel map are constructed to city standards and the developer must
reconstruct or repair substandard existing off-site street improvements that front
the project site, to the adopted city standards as directed by the City Engineer.
7.5. Where streets do not have curb and gutter, construct a minimum section of 36
feet wide consisting of 2-12’ lanes, 2-4’ paved shoulders and 2 additional feet
per side of either AC or other dust proof surface.
7.6. Turning movements along arterial streets shall be restricted to right turn in and
right turn out only.

If the number of phases or the boundaries of the phases are changed, the developer must submit to the City Engineer an exhibit showing the number and
configuration of the proposed phases. The City Engineer will review the exhibit and determine the order and extent of improvements to be constructed with each new
phase. The improvement plans may require revision to conform to the new conditions.
8. Prior to recordation of the first final map, the applicant shall:
8.1. Pay their proportionate fair share for the Eastbound to Southbound right turn
lane at the intersection of Brundage Lane and Mt Vernon Ave OR provide a Traffic study, for review by the Traffic Engineer, to determine whether this
requirement can be deferred to a later phase.
9. Prior to recordation of the Final Map, the applicant shall:
9.1. Submit an enforceable, recordable document approved by the City Attorney
to be recorded concurrently with the Final Map which will prohibit occupancy
of any lot until all improvements, of the corresponding phase, have been
completed by the subdivider and accepted by the City.
9.2. The subdivider shall submit an enforceable, recordable document approved by
the City Attorney to be recorded concurrently with the Final Map containing
information with respect to the addition of this subdivision to the consolidated
maintenance district. If the parcel is already within a consolidated maintenance
district, the owner shall update the maintenance district documents.
9.3. If it becomes necessary to obtain any off site right of way and if the subdivider is
unable to obtain the required right of way, then he shall pay to the City the up-
front costs for eminent domain proceedings and enter into an agreement and

12. Prior to the recordation of the first final map within this project site, subdivider shall make written notification to the City Engineer of any public improvements required
to be financed or constructed outside the boundaries of the tentative map(i.e., “offsite improvements”), as defined in BMC § 116.16.080(E), and the cost of such
offsite improvements. The notice shall include an engineer’s estimate or other documentation as required by the City Engineer that outlines by line item the
specific offsite improvements for purposes of verifying extension of time eligibility pursuant to Government Code Section 66452.6(a). The written notification and
documentation are subject to approval by the City Engineer or his/her designee.
13. The developer is required to construct an improvement which is on the facilities list
for the Metropolitan Bakersfield Transportation Impact Fee, Mt Vernon Avenue. The
developer shall receive credit against his traffic impact fees for constructing this
project. The developer must submit an appraisal, to be approved by the City
Engineer, verifying the cost of the right-of-way to be acquired. This credit is not
available until the improvement has been constructed by the developer and
accepted for maintenance by the City. Any building permit issued prior to this
