The project site and surrounding properties are zoned E (20) (Estate - 20 acres) with a General Plan designation of 1.1 (State area Federal Land) by the Kern County GP. Surrounding properties are used for cattle grazing, wood cutting, hunting, wind-powered electrical generation and mineral exploration and mining.
