RE: Notice of Decision - Site Plan Review (Project No. 11-0209)
Dear Mr. Saucedo:
The Development Services Director, upon recommendation of the Site Plan Review
Committee, has approved your plans for a 1,000 square foot second dwelling unit in an R-1 (One
Family Dwelling) zone district at 1201 2 Street.
nd
Your proposal, with corrections as noted, meets the minimum required codes, policies and
standards for development as adopted by the Bakersfield City Council. Specific items have been
identified (see attached Site Plan Compliance List) that you need to resolve before you can obtain a
building permit or be allowed occupancy. These items may include changes or additions that need
to be shown on the final building plans, alert you to specific fees, and/or are comments that will help
you in complying with the city’s development standards. Each item will note when it is to be
completed and they have been grouped by department so that you know who to contact if you
have questions.
Your next step is to either apply for necessary building permits to construct your project, or
begin your business activities depending on the request submitted. You must submit final building
plans to the Building Division. The Site Plan Review Committee will review these final plans while
building plan check occurs to ensure that you satisfy the items in the Site Plan Compliance List.
Please read them carefully. Failure to satisfy an item may delay your obtaining a building permit or
commencing your project.
After construction of your project but before the City can allow occupancy, the Building
Division must inspect the development to find if it complies with the approved plans, and any other
relevant permits and codes. If you have satisfied all of the requirements, the Building Director will
issue a certificate of occupancy; if not, the area inspector will give you a correction notice. Once
you have made all of the corrections, the Building Director can issue a certificate of occupancy.
You may not occupy a development until the Building Director has issued a certificate of
occupancy.

Any time after site plan approval but before the approval expires; you may submit revisions to

obstacles or other comparable constraints.

is rezoned, site plan approval will expire upon the effective date of the rezoning unless the use is
permitted in the new zone.
The Planning Director may extend the expiration date up to one (1) year if you resubmit new
plans for check against the code requirements in effect at that time and include a written request
for the extension. We must receive this request expiration of the project approval. We will not

require a fee for this extension request; however, changes to the plans originally approved for
purposes other than code requirements shall be subject to a new site plan review, including
payment of all required fees.
