Tortuga Bay Water Park Project

Tortuga Bay Water Park Project

The Tortuga Bay Water Park, LLC seeks to amend the City of Bakersfield’s General Plan land use designation and Municipal Code zone classification for a 152-acre site at the southeast corner of the Hageman Road and Mohawk Street intersection. The project proposes a diverse development featuring northeast general commercial uses, northwest commercial retail and restaurants, a central water park and golf range, southwest light industrial uses, and southeast heavy industrial operations, integrating recreational, medical, and commercial facilities with surrounding residential areas. The development will include internal roads, ensure compliance with emergency access and parking standards, and conclude in three phases by 2040, aiming to create approximately 3,000-4,000 jobs and enhance local revenue through strategic land use modifications.
