CUP No. 6, Map No. 81-36 to allow for the construction and operation of a CCS facility within the A (Exclusive Agriculture) Zone District on approximately 200 acres. 3. CUP No. 9, Map No. 82 to allow for the construction and operation of a CCS facility within the A (Exclusive Agriculture) Zone District on approximately 4,995 acres. 4. CUP No. 1, Map No. 103-3 to allow for the construction and operation of a CCS facility within the A (Exclusive Agriculture) Zone District on approximately 435 acres. 5. CUP No. 1, Map No. 103-4 to allow for the construction and operation of a CCS facility within both the A (Exclusive Agriculture) Zone District on approximately 509 acres and the M-2 (Medium Industrial) Zone District on approximately 39 acres. 6. CUP No. 2, Map No. 103-5 to allow for the construction and operation of a CCS facility within the A (Exclusive Agriculture) Zone District on approximately 633 acres. CCS has been determined to be a storage operation under the Kern County Zoning Ordinance, Section 19.08.085 and Section 19.06.020.
