Dear Mr. T�ndy;
Thank you for your letter of August 25, 2008.
Please do not be unduiy concemed about my correspondence to you of
augusc � �, 2008. Our intent remains to carry out the project in the most efficien
and tirnefy manner possibie. The presen# scheduling hiatus is caused by the
absence o# necessary budgeied funds. We are no# delay+ng the projee� by not
proceeding with preparations for any public meeting such as may be required
under t�e National Environmentai Policy Act of 1969 {NEPA) at this time.
If a scoping meeting or otf�er public meeting as may be appropriate un�er NEP�
were perceived to be held subs#antial�y in advance af a proposed project, it can
easi(y be argued that the meeting was either not balanced or not thorough. Thi�
is because the passage of t;me allows for new arguments to arise about
conside�ation of facts and circumstances that have either come to light or s'ssue:
of concem thai have arisen subsequent to ihe meeting. At a minimum, GSA
would be vulnerab!e to the argument that #he meeting was premature and it
would be necessary to re-do the rneeting.
On the basis of the above, we attempt to schedule meetings carried out under
�IEPA implementation as early in the process as possible, but immediately
precedent �o the proposed project. In the absence of planned or budgeted fund:
to proce�d, we do not have a sense of certainty as t� when we will be in the
position to take irrevocabfe action on #his project. Therefore, we are not
presently in a position to schedule a pub(ic meeting on this project.
�gain, please be assured th�t we are looking forward to proceeding with this
projec# in a timely manner once we have project funding appropriately budgeted
Questions �r comments, piease do not hesitate to cafi at �415) 522-4476.
Sincerefy,

Council Referral No. 3
Councilmember Scrivner requested a report on the current situation
downtown lingerie shop and what the options are for the City.
Sensations Lingerie and Pipe is currently consistent with all zoning regulatio
business license that it pulled. The specific nature of the proposed merchanc
sold cannot be verified until the store opens. Therefore, the City currently �
store no differently than similar businesses such as Victoria's Secret or Fred
Hollywood which are both currently located at the Valley Plaza Mall.
Chapter 17.69 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code defines an adult-oriented bu;
a store that: (a) displays merchandise on more than twenty-five percent (2�
floor area open to the public, or (b) derives more than twenty-five percent (2�
revenue from the sale of such merchandise would be considered an adul�
business.
Should the store exceed the percentages noted above, by ordinance, the o�

under the twenty-five percent (25%) threshold. The second option is to rr

third option is to issue a conditional use permit, upon the store's request, to
lessen the separation requirements to allow the store to remain in its current
However, there is no justification to support such a reduction based on the find
need to be made under the provisions of the zoning ordinance.
The City Attorney's Office, in the attached letter dated August 8, 2008, noted

DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOClATION
2000 K S#reet, Suite � 20
Bakersfiield, CA 93301
Dear Mr. Beii:
This letter is in response to your correspondence ta Counciimember Benham surro
"Sensational Lingerie and Pipe Shop." !n light of the legal aspects of you letter, Coun
Benham asked that I respond to your concerns.
As you know, the City of Bakersfieid is very much interested in attracting s
businesses and #ourism to our downtown area. However, #he City's desire for redevelopn
without challenge. Adult entertainment businesses are afforded certain protections unde
Amendment of our Constiiution. While the City es#ablishes regulations for adult ent
businesses, our reguiations are based on state and federa! court decisions. The City ha
regufations that have been uphefd by the courts and avoided regu{ations which have b�
down. By following this practice over ihe course of many years, we can now generally ci
state or fsderal case which supports most o# the provisions in our adult entertainment cha
Bakersfield Municipa( Code.
Modifying provisions in the area of adult entertainment, which you s�ggest in your fe
be very risky, and unlikely to fegaily succeed in light of the broad protections given to fr
w�ich appiy to aduit entertainment businesses. However, the Vice Division of the Bakersf
Department is aware of this new store and wilf conduct an inventory and inspection at the �
time to ensure compiiance with our regulations governing adui# en#ertainment businesses.
in the meantime, if you have any further questions concerning this mat�er, please 1
g�ve me a�all. Again, and on behalf of Councilmember Benham, thank you for your di�i�
effo�ts both personaily and through the Downtown Business Association, in promoting
Bakersfiield. � ^
