A full draft of the 2026 Bakersfield Town Plan is now available!

Last October, we held a public meeting to hear issues that are important to you as we plan for the future of Bakersfield. We used your vision as the basis for updating our plan. Now, we are looking to ensure that the final plan reflects the priorities of residents, especially the Implementation chapter which outlines priority actions for the town to take over the coming years. We want to hear from you!

Overview

The Town of Bakersfield is working on an update of the Town Plan, which describes the community’s vision for the future of the Town. It guides the Town’s actions around zoning, the development of public infrastructure, and other regulatory and non-regulatory actions. The plan will identify high priority goals and actions for the Town over the next eight years and beyond.
