Located on approximately 5.94 acres of vacant land at 4215 Letzring Lane, Bakersfield, California, this proposed development will feature approximately 54 studio rental units and approximately 95 one bedroom units, with units designated for households earning 60% of AMI or less under the low income housing tax credit program. The site will include on-site parking for residents (eligible for parking reduction) as well as a 3-bedroom manager's unit of approximately 1,000 square feet.
