WHEREAS, the Council has considered and hereby makes the following findings:
1. All required public notices have been given.
2. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act have been followed.
Based on the initial study and comments received, staff has determined that the
proposed project could 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.
The public necessity, general welfare and good planning practices justify the
amendments to the Land Use Element of 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 of the Sate of California 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED and found by the Council of the City of
Bakersfield as follows:
1. The above recitals and findings incorporated herein, are true and correct.
2. The Negative Declaration for General Plan Amendment P01-1014 is hereby
approved and adopted.

2010 General Plan, constituting changes as shown on the map marked Exhibit "2" for property

adjustment, or other approval for the GPA/ZC site, the following shall be completed to
the satisfaction of the City Engineer:
Submit an overall sewer and drainage plan for the entire project site for review
and approval by the City Engineer. In siting the ultimate retention area,
consideration is to be given to possible consolidation of retention basins as
adjacent areas are developed.
