FAX: (661) 852-2136
The Planning Director, upon recommendation of the Site Plan Review Committee,
has approved your plans for a 1,541 square foot add'ition to a 1,562 square foot
convenience store in w o w rhood Commercial) zone district at 575 Panama
Lane.
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
Mans, 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 d'ependingi 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 ai 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 ainy other relevant permits and codes. If you have satisfied all of the
requirements, the Building Director will issue a certificate of occupancy- of 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.

identified as critical habitat for endangered or threatened species, will', not significanfly
affect traffic noise, air or water quality, and will be adequately served by appropriate
utilities and public services. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared and is available for
review at the Planning Division (see cover sheet for address).
Any person may appeal this decision. An appeal is limited to whether or not an
adopted development standard® zoning regulation, mitigation, or policy applied or not
applied to the project, was done consistent with the authority granted by city ordinances
