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 al 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 Plain Compliance List, Please read them carefully. Failure to saflsfy 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 Bu*ildling Director has issued a certificate of occupancy.

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 23.20 1 (2 years from the decision date), unless building 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. This site plan review has been found to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) according to Section: 15332. This project is exempt because it is an infill development that is consistent with the general plan and SPR# 13-0154 Page 3 of 9 zoning regulations, is within an area predominantly developed with urban uses, is not identified as critical habitat for endangered or threatened species, will not significantly 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 deveilopment standard, zoning regulation, mitigation, • poilicy applied or not applied to the project, was done consistent with the authority granted by city ordinances or the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The appeal must be in writing stating the precise basis or issue as, noted, include a $700 filing fee, and must be filed within 10 OM of the decision date to the City of Bakersfield Planning Commission (c/o Bakersfield Planning Director, 1715 Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, CA, 93301).

Site plan approval is based on the statements made in the application and the plans you submitted. Any errors or omissions on these plans could alter the compliance list and/or void this decision. If you have questions about any of the items noted in the Site Plan Compliance List, you must speak to the contact person representing the department requiring that item.
