At that time, the City Council also adopted a mitigated negative declaration (Resolution Nos. 046-15 and 047-15; Ordinance No. 4821). • March 24, 2016 - The Kern Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO) approved Annexation No. 639, which annexed 144.39 total acres along the west side of Santa Fe Way, between Reina Road and Austin Creek Avenue, including the subject parcel. ~ BAKERSFIELD TI-E SOOIO OF~ &I,, PP-EOT-24-0035 • August 14, 2019 - City Council approved General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. 18-0448 to change the land use designation from R-IA(Resource – Intensive Agriculture) to LI (Light Industrial) and change the zoning from A (Agriculture) to M-1 ( Light Manufacturing) on 8.53 acres on a portion located within the north half of the site. At that time, the City Council also adopted a mitigated negative declaration (Resolution Nos. 108-19 and 019-19; Ordinance No. 4982). • August 12, 2020 - City Council approved Zone Change No. 19-0288 to change the zoning from M-1 (Light Manufacturing) to DI (Drilling Island) on 2.88 acres, R-1 (One-Family Dwelling) to DI (Drilling Island) on 1.36 acres, and DI (Drilling Island) to R-1 (One-Family Dwelling) on 0.61 acres located south of Renfro Road subject to the existing Drill Island lots (Ordinance No. 5014). • August 4, 2021 – City Council approved General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. 20-0339 to change the land use designation from R-IA (Resource – Intensive Agriculture) to LI (Light Industrial) and change the zoning from A (Agriculture) to M-1 (Light Manufacturing) on 3.5 acres on a portion located within the south half of the site. At that time, the City Council also adopted a mitigated negative declaration (Resolution Nos. 126-2021 and 127-2021; Ordinance No. 5059) • September 25, 2024 - The applicant submitted a completed application requesting an extension of time for VTPM 12416. PROJECT ANALYSIS: The proposed vesting tentative parcel map subdivision consists of 8 parcels and 2 drill site lots on 26.78 acres for purposes of industrial development and recognizing the existing oil extraction operation in each drill island lot. The parcels range in size from 1.83 acres to 4.16 acres, with the average parcel being 2.7 acres. The project site consists of three phases for development. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the LI (Light Industrial) and LR (Low-Density Residential) designations of the project site for industrial and drill island, respectively. Extension of Time. The applicant is requesting a three-year extension to allow additional time to get the improvement plans approved and record final maps. No phase of this map has recorded. The applicant states that the timeline for recordation and construction is unknown at this time. The Subdivision Map Act and the Bakersfield Municipal Code allow for separate extensions to be approved by your Commission with an aggregate of up to six years. Typically, City policy has been to approve extensions of time in two (2), three-year intervals. The applicant requested the extension of time in writing prior to December 15, 2024 expiration date. This request represents the first request for an extension of time for VTPM No. 12416. Circulation. Access to this subdivision would be from Santa Fe Way (arterial) along the northern boundary and Renfro Road (arterial) traversing the proposed site. Specific access points to each parcel will be determined at Site Plan Review. Lot 1 of Phase 1 encumbers a portion of County jurisdictional property, which is a remnant from the original alignment of Renfro Road. The portion of road was vacated by the County Board of Supervisors, and the land will be incorporated into the buildable parcel. The developer is responsible for roadway improvements within the parcel map area and required to participate in the Regional Transportation Impact Fee Program. Additionally, the project is subject to the City’s policy for “Complete Streets,” which requires that all transportation facilities for bicyclists, pedestrians, transit, and motorists be considered. All sidewalks and pedestrian access throughout the development will be required in accordance with City standards. PP-EOT-24-0035 Compliance with Standards. The proposed project, subject to the original conditions of approval, complies with the ordinances and policies of the City of Bakersfield. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION: The extension of time request is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) because the project [extension of time] will not result in either a direct or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. 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. Comments Received. As of this writing, no written public comments have been received. COMPATIBILITY ANALYSIS: The project site is depicted as LI (Light Industrial) and LR (Low-Density Residential) on the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. The M-1 (Light Manufacturing) and D-I (Drilling Island) zone is consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan and existing land uses. CONCLUSIONS: Recommendation. The applicant provided the application for the Extension of Time in a timely manner and the request adheres to the extensions permitted by Bakersfield Municipal Code 16.16.080. The requested three-year extension will allow the developer additional time to record final map. Based on information in the record, Staff recommends your Commission adopt Resolution and suggested findings APPROVING the extension of time for Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 12416 to expire on December 15, 2027, with no changes to previously approved conditions of approval.
