Planning Commission approves consent calendar; two commissioners absent
The City of Bakersfield Planning Commission voted to approve the consent calendar at its Sept. 17, 2026 meeting.

The clerk announced the outcome on the record: "Motion is approved with commissioner Strickland and Brandt Oliver absent." The motion to approve the consent items was made and seconded during the meeting's consent calendar segment; the transcript records the formal vote as approved.

The consent calendar procedure, the chair explained earlier, bundles routine items to be enacted by a single motion unless a commissioner or member of the public requests removal for separate discussion. No removals were recorded during the consent calendar vote on Sept. 17. The meeting record lists the absence of Commissioners Strickland and Brandt Oliver for the roll call on the approved motions.
