The Kern County Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for a 33‑bed residential care facility with an off‑site auto parking lot at the southeast corner of Inukern and Second Street in the Inukern area on consent, planning staff said.

Planning staff member Mr. Murphy of the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department told the commission the project, filed as case CEP15Map4730 by applicant Christopher Martinez Diaz (represented by Gary Olson), would span two parcels totaling approximately 22,212 square feet on property zoned C‑2. Staff recommended approval of the conditional use permit subject to the recommended conditions and adoption of the suggested findings in the draft resolution.

The commission approved the consent calendar, which included this item, by unanimous vote among those present (4 ayes, 1 absent). Mr. Murphy told commissioners that actions for cases 1 and 2 are subject to appeal to the Board of Supervisors and that an appeal must be filed at the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department within 14 days, with a $562 filing fee. If no appeal is received within that period, the commission’s action is final.

There was no public comment or separate discussion on the item during the meeting. No motion maker or seconder was identified in the hearing record for the consent motion; the minutes show the consent calendar was moved, seconded, and approved.

The filing address for an appeal is the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department, 2700 M Street, Suite 100, Bakersfield; the filing deadline is within 14 days of and including the date of the hearing.
