Public Works:
The map submitted by the applicant shows a GPA/ZC from OS-P to SR at the
west end of the parcel for a proposed cul-de-sac. A cul-de-sac will not be
allowed along Thornhill Lane. This is an existing dedicated right-of-way to the
City of Bakersfield and staff will not support a vacation back to the property
owner. Therefore, the portion of the GPA/ZC over the proposed cul-de-sac is
not recommended for approval.
(NOTE: The Thornhill Lane dedicated right-of-way extends from Riverlakes Drive
to Calloway Drive).
