The commission meets at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at 1501 Truxtun Ave.
You can watch the meeting live on KGOV, the local government television station that also broadcasts meetings over the Internet.
The agenda is available at www.bakersfieldcity.us under the Development Services Department link.
Castle & Cooke is bringing forth a map for a commercial project at the southwest corner of Harris and Gosford roads. Before construction can begin, though, a consultant will have to survey the area for burrowing owls. It’s a protected species.
Some 837,336 square feet of office and warehouse space may occupy the western chunk of land. That development would use 139 acres. There’s also a 55-acre parcel that could accommodate commercial uses. The parcels are south of the Gosford Village shopping center and near a proposed 50-acre commercial project, Panama Grove.
The commission will consider:
• A two-year extension on a map developer Global Investment and Development LLC is working on land near Highway 178 and Comanche Road. The land used to be owned by KB Home. At a July meeting, concerned residents raised issues about drainage and lot maintenance on the nearly 20-acre site. Those individuals met with Global’s representatives to resolve their complaints. If approved, the map with 84 single-family lots will expire May 31, 2010.
• A map for a subdivision at Gosford Road and Ming Avenue that would add 104 single-family lots to the existing University Park development.
