Document Description
The project applicant, Panama 99/Properties LLC, and the applicant of a similar but larger proposed shopping center, Castle & Cooke Commercial, Inc., located 3.6 miles west of the proposed Panama Lane Shopping Center, applied in early 2002 for project approvals, associated Zone Changes and General Plan Amendments for each of their respective properties. The other project is known as the Gosford Village Shopping Center. Separate EIRs were prepared for each development project. The City certified both EIRs, approved the projects, and approved the associated General Plan Amendments and Zoning Changes to the applicants in February 2003. Construction commenced on both project sites soon thereafter. These approvals were challenged in litigation and ultimately, in Bakersfield Citizens for Local Control v. City of Bakersfield, the Fifth District Court of Appeal invalidated the 2002 EIR and the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. In order to comply with the direction provided by the Court of Appeal, this document will evaluate the environmental impacts of the proposed project, and will provide a full environmental analysis as if there were no construction on the site.
