MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO BRIDGE
CROSSINGS AND MAJOR
THOROUGHFARES
BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Bakersfield as follows:
SECTION 1.
Chapter 16.32.060 F is hereby amended to read as follows:
F. Bridge Crossings and Major Thoroughfares.
1. Prior to filing any final tract or parcel map or issuance of a building permit, fees may
be assessed and collected pursuant to Section 66484 of the California Government Code for
the purpose of defraying the actual or estimated costs of constructing the following bridge
crossings or major thoroughfares identified in the transportation or flood control provisions of
the circulation element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan:
a. Ashe Road Planned Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Area.
b. Hageman Road Planned Major Thoroughfare Area.
2. In order for such fees to be assessed and collected, the following requirements must
be met:
a. The bridge or thoroughfares for which costs are to be assessed are identified
in the transportation or flood control provisions of the circulation element of the Metropolitan
Bakersfield 2010 General Plan. The primary purpose of the major thoroughfares is to carry
through traffic and provide a network connecting to the state highway system.
b. A public hearing pursuant to Government Code Section 66484 (a)(2) and (3)
shall be held by the council for each area benefited, and the boundaries of each such area,
costs, and method of fee apportionment shall be set forth in a resolution to be adopted by the
council.
c. Payment of fees shall not be required unless the major thoroughfares are in
addition to, or a reconstruction of, any existing major thoroughfares serving the area at the
time of the adoption of the boundaries of the area of benefit.
d. Payment of fees shall not be required unless the planned bridge facility is an
original bridge serving the area or an addition to any existing bridge facility serving the area
at the time of the adoption of the boundaries of the area of benefit. The fees shall not be
expanded to reimburse the cost of existing bridge facility construction.
e. The city clerk shall receive written protests and endorse on each protest the
date and time it was filed.

i. No protest received after the time fixed for the public heating shall be
timely;
ii. If a written protest is filed by owners of more than one-half of the area of
the property to be benefited by the improvement, and sufficient protests
are not withdrawn so as to reduce the area represented to less than
one-half of that to be benefited then the proposed proceedings shall be
abandoned, and the council shall not, for one year from the filing of that
written protest, commence or carry on any proceedings for the same
improvement or acquisition under the provisions of this section;
iii. Any protests may be withdrawn by the owner protesting, in writing, at any
time prior to the conclusion of a public heating held pursuant to the
subsection F., 2. b. of this section;
iv. If any majority protest is directed against only a portion of the
improvement then all further proceedings under the provisions of this
section to construct that portion of the improvement so protested against
shall be barred for a period of one year, but the council may commence
new proceedings not including any part of the improvement or
acquisition so protested against. Nothing in this section prohibits the
council, within that one-year period, from commencing and carrying on
new proceedings for the construction of a portion of the improvement so
protested against if it finds, by the affirmative vote of four-fifths of its
members, that the owners of more than one-half of the area of the
property to be benefited are in favor of going forward with that portion of
the improvement or acquisition.
3. Fees paid pursuant to this section shall be deposited in a planned bridge facility or
major thoroughfare fund. A fund shall be established for each planned bridge facility project
or each planned major thoroughfare project. If the benefit area is one in which more than one
bridge is required to be constructed, a fund may be so established covering all of the bridge
projects in the benefit area. Money in the fund shall be expended solely for the construction or
reimbursement for construction of the improvement serving the area to be benefited and from
which the fees comprising the fund were collected, or to reimburse the city for the cost of
constructing the improvement.
4. Nothing in this section prohibits the acceptance of considerations in lieu of the payment
of fees.
SECTION 2.
This Ordinance shall be posted in accordance with the provisions of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code and shall become effective thirty (30) days from and after the date of its
passage.
