RE: Notice of Decision -Site Plan Review (Project No. 13-0141)
Dear Mr. Nahshak
Jim Eggert, Planning Director
Planning Division
Phone: 1 661 i 326-3733
FAX: 1661) 852-2136
The Planning Director, upon recommendation of the Site Plan Review Commiffee,
has approved your plans to demolish a portion of an existing retail building and to
construct a new 1,335 square foot addition to create a 5,103 square foot retail building in
an M-1 (Light Manufacturing Zone) district at 815 34th Street.
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 buildings plans to the Building Division. The Site Plan Review Committee will
review these final plans whiVe 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 Building Director has issued a certificate of occupancy.

In consideration by the City of Bakersfield for land use entitlements, including but
not limited to related environmental approvals related to or arising from this project, the
applicant, and/or property owner and/or subdivider ("Applicant" herein) agrees to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City of Bakersfield, its officers, agents,
employees, departments, commissioners and boards ("City " herein), against any and all
liability, claims, actions, causes of actions or demands whatsoever against them, or any of
them, before administrative or judicial tribunals of any kind whatsoever, in any way arising
from, the terms and provisions of this application, including without limitation any CEQA
approval or any related development approvals or conditions whether imposed by the
City, or not, except for City's sole active negligence or willful misconduct.
This indemnification condition does not prevent the Applicant from challenging any
decision by the City related to this project and the obligations of this condition apply
regardless of whether any other permits or entitlements are issued.
The City will promptly notify Applicant of any such claim, action, or proceeding,
failing under this condition within thirty (30) days of actually receiving such claim. The City,
in its sole discretion, shall be allowed to choose the attorney or outside low firm to defend
the City at the sole cost and expense of the Applicant and the City is not obligated to use
any low firm or attorney chosen by another entity or party.
Any time after site plan approval but before the approval expires you may submit
revisions to the plan. We will treat these revisions as a new site plan application subject to
a new review and required fees. The Planning Director can only approve minor changes
to the original plan without a new application if they are necessary to meet a condition,
mitigation, or result from physical obstacles or other comparable constraints.
Approval of this site plan expires on April 25, 2015 (2 years from the decision clate),
unless bulilding permits have been issued, or on projects not requiring a building permit,
the use has commenced. The project must be completed within 5 years from the decision
date. If the property is rezoned, site plan approval will expire upon the effective date for
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 before 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.
