FAX: (661) 852-2136
The Planning Director, upon recommendation of the Site Plan Review Committee,
has approved your plans to construct four 18,701 square foot office/warehouse buildings
in an M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zone district at 6900 McCutchen Road.
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) f hot 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; 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 IBuillding Director, has issued a certificate of occupancy,

10,. Prior to granting occupancy, the Building Division will verify that a water
meter serving the development is in place. Therefore, it is recommended
that the developer contact the applicable wafer purveyor to inquire about
their process for obtaining water service for the development as soon as
possible. To determine who the water purveyor for the development is, you
may contact the City of Bakersfield' Resources Department (1000
