Commission recommends zone change on 2.39‑acre parcel on Shallenberger Road in Bakersfield

The Kern County Planning Commission on consent recommended a zone change for a 2.39‑acre parcel on the south side of Shallenberger Road about 620 feet west of Callaway Drive in the Bakersfield area, planning staff said.

Mr. Murphy, a staff member with the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department, read staff’s summary of zone change case 33Map10230. The request before the commission was a change in zone classification described in the staff summary as from “E‑1 half RS to E‑1 quarter or a more restrictive district” on a 2.39‑acre parcel. Staff recommended that the commission advise the Board of Supervisors to approve the zone change as requested, enact the ordinance, and adopt the suggested findings in the attached draft resolution.

The commission approved the consent calendar, which included the zone change recommendation, by recorded vote (4 ayes, 1 absent). There was no public comment or separate deliberation about this item recorded in the hearing excerpt.

Unlike cases 1 and 2, the staff notice of appeal procedures read into the record identified cases 1 and 2 specifically as appealable to the Board of Supervisors; the record does not contain a separate appeal notice for this zone change within the excerpt read.
