(a) Amend the Metropolitan Bakkersfield 2010 General Plan from RR (Rural residential) to GC (General Commercial); and (b) A change in zone classificatiin from A-1 (Limited Agriculture) to C-2 PD (General Commercial-Precise Development). Intent is to develop an 8.42 acre site with auto fueling stations, restaurants, fast-food drive-ins and/or motel uses; however, no specific development is being proposed at this time. The purpose of the GC Map Code is to designate areas for retail and service facilities providing a broad range of goods and services which serve the day-to-day needs of nearby residents. The C-2 District is intended to designate areas for the widest range of retail commercial activities, including regional shopping centers and heavy commercial uses. The purpose of the PD Combining District is to identify areas with unique site characteristics or environmental conditions or areas surrounded by sensitive land uses to ensure development in such areas is compatible with such constraints. Development in the PD Combining District is discretionary and, therefore, subject to further environmental review. No use can be establised or developed in the PD Combining District until an application for development is received and deemed complete and an environmental document, if required, is completed so the request can be considered at a regularly scheduled public hearing. As proposed, water supply and sewage disposal would be by East Niles Community Services District upon annexation into the district. Access would be via Kimber Avenue which is designated as a local street alignment by the Circulation Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.
