# Planning Commission - November 5th, 2026 Meeting


**Body:** City of Bakersfield, CA.
**Date:** November 05, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The City of Bakersfield Planning Commission meeting was called to order on November 5, 2026. The Commission approved consent calendar item 4A; Commissioner Martin was absent. It also took up a motion to adopt staff recommendations on the remaining consent public-hearing items, but the vote result is not clear in the transcript. No contracts, purchases, budget allocations, or other procurement activity were identified.

During public comment, a resident asked the Commission to revisit the former McAllister’s Ranch site, which he said had been left undeveloped after becoming associated with a water facility, and requested consideration of housing, including affordable homes. Commissioners asked staff to contact the resident about the planning and zoning process and requested that Code Enforcement or the relevant property owner look into the site’s condition. The next meeting was announced for December 3.
