OF THE METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD 2010 GENERAL
PLAN
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Bakersfield in accordance
with the provisions of Section 65353 of the Government Code, held a public hearing on
THURSDAY, April 4, 2002, on GPA 02-0006 of the proposed amendment to the Land Use
Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan, notice of the time and place of
hearing having been given twenty (20) calendar days before said hearing by publication in the
Bakersfield Californian, a local newspaper of general circulation; and
WHEREAS, GPA 02-0006, an amendment to the Land Use Element of the
Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan is as follows:
The City of Bakersfield has proposed to amend the Land Use Element of the
Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan by changing the land use map
designation from HMR (High Medium Density Residential) to OC (Office
Commercial) on .85 acres of land; and
WHEREAS, for the above-described proposal, an Initial Study was conducted
and it was determined that the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the
environment, and, therefore, a Negative Declaration was prepared and posted on March 1,
2002, in accordance with CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the law and regulations relating to the preparation and adoption of
Negative Declarations as set forth in CEQA and the City of Bakersfield's CEQA Implementation
Procedures, have been duly followed by city staff, the Planning Commission, and this Council;
and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 29-02 on April 4, 2002, the Planning Commission
recommended approval and adoption of Case No. GPA 02-0006, as shown in Exhibit "1", and
this Council has fully considered the finding made by the Planning Commission as set forth in
that Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Bakersfield, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 65355 of the Government Code, conducted and held a public hearing on
WEDNESDAY, May 22, 2002, on the above described Case No. GPA 02-0006 of the proposed
amendment to the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan, notice
of time and place of the hearing having been given at least ten (10) calendar days before the
hearing by publication in the Bakersfield Californian, a local newspaper of general circulation;
and
WHEREAS, the Council has considered and hereby makes the following
findings:
1. All required public notices have been provided.
2. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act have been met.
3. The proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment.
4. The proposed project is consistent with the surrounding land uses.
The proposed project is consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010
General Plan.
Based on the absence of evidence in the record as required by Section 21082.2
of the State of California Public Resources Code (CEQA) for the purpose of
documenting significant effects, it is the conclusion of the Lead Agency that this
project will result in impacts that fall below the threshold of significance with
regard to wildlife resources and, therefore, must be granted a "de minimis"
exemption in accordance with Section 711.4 of the State of California
Department of Fish and Game Code. Additionally, the assumption of adverse
effect is rebutted by the above-reference absence of evidence in the record and
the Lead Agency's decision to prepare a Negative Declaration for this project.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. The above recitals, incorporated herein, are true and correct.
2. The Negative Declaration is hereby adopted for GPA 02-0006.
The report of the Planning Commission, including maps and all reports and
papers relevant thereto, transmitted by the Secretary of the Planning
Commission to the City Council, is hereby received, accepted and approved.
The City Council hereby approves and adopts Case No. GPA 02-0006 of the
proposed amendment to the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield
2010 General Plan, constituting changes as shown on the map marked Exhibit
"1", for property located adjacent on the east side of Oswell Street, just north of
Glenbrook Avenue.
That Case No. GPA 02-0006, approved herein, be combined with other
approved cases described in separate resolutions, to form a single General Plan
Amendment.
The Planning Division of the Development Services Department is hereby
directed to file a Notice of Determination with the County Clerk of Kern County,
pursuant to the provisions of Section 21152 of the Public Resources Code and
~F~IGINA[
Section 15094 of the CEQA Guidelines adopted pursuant thereto and a
