Lerdo Detention Facility Expansion Project by the Kern County Sheriff's Office (PP13224) (EIR 06-12 JLB)

Lerdo Detention Facility Expansion Project by the Kern County Sheriff's Office (PP13224) (EIR 06-12 JLB)

The proposed project includes an application for approval of a CUP 48, Map 81, to allow for the expansion of the existing Lerdo Detention Facility. Construction and operation of a "community or regional correctional and similar involuntary detention facility" requires approval of a CUP pursuant to Chapter 19.12.030.I of the Kern County Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, the project proponent proposes to expand the current detention facility (also referred herein as the jail complex). Implementation of the project includes the construction of new, ancillary buildings, as well as the upgrade and expansion of the existing on-site water system and wastewater treatment and disposal facility. The total proposed on-site expansion area is approximately 26.5 acres. The Lerdo jail complex encompasses six parcels totaling about 297.6 acres, as well as a 35-acre undeveloped parcel immediately south of Lerdo Highway, portions of which will be used for wastewater disposal. The project would result in a total of 822 new beds for housing inmates, 194 new employees and 47 additional average daily visitors. A total of an additional 241 employees/visitors are expected to access the project site per day.
