RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL CERTIFYING THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT FOR THE 24N STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
WHEREAS, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in cooperation
with the City of Bakersfield proposes to widen roadways and make intersection
improvements on State Route 58 west of State Route 99, and on State Route 178 east of
State Route 99 in the City of Bakersfield in Kern County, as shown in attached Exhibit A -I
( "Project "); and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the 24th Street Improvement Project is to address
existing traffic congestion and future travel demand (amount of additional traffic
expected by 2035) along 24th Street; and
WHEREAS, the Project, which includes improvements along 24th Street from the
southbound State Route 99 ramp intersection to 0.2 mile east of M Street, for a distance
of about 2.1 miles, and improvements on State Route 99 for the northbound auxiliary
lane from 1,500 feet south of and to the Kern River Bridge, is divided into the following
four segments:
• Segment 1: State Route 99 /Rosedale Highway (State Route 58) /24th Street (State
Route 178) interchange improvements, including Northbound State Route 99
Auxiliary Lane and southbound State Route 99 ramp improvements to the west
end of the Kern River Bridge;
• Segment 2: 24th Street /Oak Street intersection and 24th Street improvements
from the west end of the Kern River Bridge to Olive Street;
• Segment 3: 24th Street widening from Olive Street to D Street, with a reverse
curve (S- curve) and installation of cul -de -sacs; and
• Segment 4: 23rd Street /24th Street couplet improvements from D Street to 0.2
mile east of M Street; and
WHEREAS, the City is the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Lead
Agency for the Project, and Caltrans is the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Lead Agency; and
WHEREAS, in December 2013 and February 2014, respectively, the original Final
EIR /EA was approved by Caltrans (NEPA) and certified by the City (CEQA); and
WHEREAS, following the City's certification of the original Final EIR (2013 Final EIR),
the Citizens Against the 24th Street Widening Project group challenged the adequacy
and completeness of the 2013 Final EIR; and
WHEREAS, on July 10, 2015, after briefing and argument, the Court ruled that the
2013 Final EIR was deficient in two respects: (1) the Project description and
environmental analysis in the 2013 Final EIR should have included six additional cul -de-
sacs requested by local residents (for a total of eight cul -de- sacs), and (2) the 2013 Final,
EIR did not adequately and completely consider and analyze the eight potentially'
feasible alternatives discussed under Alternatives Considered but Eliminated frorrb
Page 1 of 4 C)RI;;',�'AI.
Further Discussion; and.
WHEREAS, the Court ordered the City to void the certification of the 2013 Final EIR
and issued an injunction, stopping any alteration of the physical environment related to
the Project; and
WHEREAS, in response to the Court's ruling, the Bakersfield City Council
decertified the 2013 Final EIR in September 2015 and revoked its approval of the
Project: and
WHEREAS, to satisfy the Court's concerns regarding the 2013 Final EIR, the City
prepared a Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report (R -DEIR) that provides (1)
an impact analysis of various environmental resources considered with the inclusion of
the proposed cul -de -sacs in the Project and (2) additional information to support the
reasons why the eight alternatives presented in the 2015 Draft EIR were considered but
rejected: and
WHEREAS, the 2013 Final EIR had concluded that the environmental resource
areas of growth, farmlands /timberlands, geology /soils /seismic /topography, hydrology
and floodplain, and plant species had no impacts, although the Project did include
avoidance, minimization, and /or mitigation measures for some of these environmental
parameters, as noted in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and
WHEREAS, proposed mitigation measures in the 2013 Final EIR would reduce all
identified impacts to less than significant levels, except for cultural resources, which is
caused by the needed acquisition of residential properties from historic neighborhoods
abutting each side of 24th Street and cannot be fully mitigated; and
WHEREAS, the R -DEIR found that there were no significant changes to any
environmental resource previously analyzed in the 2013 Final EIR as the result of adding
of the new cul -de -sacs to the Project description, and, as such, no additional
avoidance, minimization, and /or mitigation measures were required; and
WHEREAS, in January 2016, the R -DEIR was released for public review and
comment, and a properly noticed public hearing on the R -DEIR was held on January
21, 2016 before the City of Bakersfield Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, during the 45 -day public comment period, which ended on February
25, 2016, the City received written (including email) comments, oral testimony (at the
public hearing), and signed petitions from a total of 120 persons, approximately 70
percent of which were in support of the Project, 12 percent of which were opposed,
and 18 percent of which were neutral; and
WHEREAS, a new Final EIR (2016 Final EIR), which includes the final R -DEIR and
responses to public comments received on the R -DEIR, has been prepared; and
WHEREAS, the Clerk of the City Council set Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 5:15 p.m.
in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 1501 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, California, as the
time and place for a public hearing before the City Council to consider the proposed
2016 Final EIR and Project, and notice of the public hearing was given in the manner,�e�xEs
provided in Title 17 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code; and °

STATEMENT OF FACTS AND FINDINGS
INTRODUCTION
The following statement of facts and findings have been prepared in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Public Resources Code §21081.
State CEGA Guidelines § 15091 provides that:
"No public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an
environmental impact report has been certified which identifies one or more
significant effects on the environment that would occur if the project is
approved or carried out unless the public agency makes one or more of the
following findings:
The following potential significant impacts of the Project have been separated into three
categories:
(I) Those potential impacts that have been determined to be less than
significant, based on review of available information in the Project record,
and in consideration of existing standard development review
requirements and existing codes and regulations;
(2) Those potential impacts that could be mitigated to a level that is
considered less than significant with the implementation of the
recommended mitigation measures; and
(3) Those potential impacts that could not be reduced to a less than
significant level with the implementation of the existing policies and
standards and the recommended mitigation measures.
For potentially significant impacts (categories (2) and (3) above), the City of Bakersfield
( "City ") has made one of the following three findings for each potentially significant
impact and provides facts in support of each finding in accordance with State CEGA
Guidelines § 15091:
a. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the
Project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment.
b. Those changes or alterations required in the Project to mitigate or avoid
significance environmental effects are within the responsibility and
jurisdiction of another public agency and have been, or can and should
be, adopted by that other agency.
C. Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the
mitigation measures or Project alternatives identified in the final
environmental impact report."

The Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 24th Street Improvement Project
identifies certain significant environmental effects which may occur as a result of the
Project. Therefore, findings are set forth herein pursuant to §15091 of the State CEQA
Guidelines. The Summary of Mitigation Measures is based in part on the requirements
contained in §21081.6 of the Public Resources Code. A Mitigation Monitoring Program
will be adopted as part of the Resolution.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project is divided into the following four segments:
• Segment 1: State Route 99 /Rosedale Highway (State Route 58)/241h Street (State
Route 178) interchange improvements, including Northbound State Route 99 Auxiliary
Lane and southbound State Route 99 ramp improvements to the west end of the
Kern River Bridge;
• Segment 2: 24th Street /Oak Street intersection and 24th Street improvements from
the west end of the Kern River Bridge to Olive Street;
• Segment 3: 24th Street widening from Olive Street to D Street, with a reverse curve IS-
curve); and
• Segment 4: 23rd Street /24th Street couplet improvements from D Street to 0.2 mile
east of M Street.
The proposed improvements by project Segment are described below.
Segment 1 —State Route 99 /State Route 58 /State Route 178 Interchange Improvements
and Northbound State Route 99 Auxiliary Lane
Improvements to the State Route 99 ramps would include the following changes at the
interchange intersections with 24th Street /Rosedale Highway (State Route 58):
• Improve the westbound loop on -ramp from Rosedale Highway )State Route 58) to
southbound State Route 99 from one lane to two lanes within the existing pavement
width.
• Improve northbound State Route 99 to include a 1,300 -foot auxiliary lane before the
State Route 99 northbound off -ramp at 24th Street (State Route 178). With the
auxiliary lane option, the northbound off -ramp would be changed from a one -lane
off -ramp to a two-lane off-ramp. A retaining wall up to 11 feet high (exposed height)
With a concrete banter on top would be built at the edge of shoulder from the
beginning of the improvements to the existing Kern River bridge. No structural
improvements would be made to the existing State Route 99 Kern River bridge;
however, there would be restriping for the auxiliary lane and a two -lane departure.
• Improve the westbound 24th Street (State Route 178) approach to Buck Owens
Boulevard from three through lanes and one right -turn lane to three through lanes

and two lanes aligning with the southbound State Route 99 loop on -ramp, one on-
ramp lane, and one shared through /right -turn lane. The section would include a bike
lane, 12- foot -wide lane, 5-foot -wide shoulder, 5- foot -wide sidewalk, 10- to 12 -foot-
high (exposed height) retaining wall, and a 3 -foot -high concrete barrier. The three
westbound lanes, which would go under the State Route 99 superstructure, would be
separated from the on -ramp lanes by a raised median. The bike lane begins at the
beginning of the right turn pocket, approximately 200 feet west of the Kern River
bridge and extends to Buck Owens Boulevard. The bike lane would align with the 8-
foot wide right shoulder of the westbound through lanes along 24th Street (State
Route 178) under State Route 99. The three westbound through lanes continue
westerly on 24th Street. A retaining wall would be required under State Route 99 to
support the north abutment slope. The lanes would be 12 feet wide with an 8 -foot-
wide shoulder, an 8- foot -wide sidewalk, and a 4- to 8- foot -high (exposed height)
retaining wall.
• Improve the southbound Buck Owens Boulevard approach to 24th Street from two
leff-tum lanes and one right -turn lane to two left -turn lanes and two right -turn lanes.
All lanes of the approach would be 12 feet wide.
• Improve the northbound State Route 99 northbound off -ramp from two left -turn lanes
and one free right -tum lane to three left -turn lanes and one free right -turn lane. The
additional left -tum lane would be 12 feet wide with a 4- foot -wide left shoulder.
Eastbound 24th Street would remain as is with three through lanes and an additional
lane at the northbound State Route 99 off-ramp free right.
Segment 2 -24th Sheet /Oak Sheet intersection and 24th Sheet Improvements (from the
west end of the Kern River Bridge to Olive Sheet)
Segment 2 improvements include the following:
• The existing 24th Street bridge over the Kern River, between Oak Street and
Buck Owens Boulevard, would require construction within the limits of the bridge to
remove the existing raised median and rebuild a 3 -toot, 3 -inch -wide raised median
near the middle of the bridge to accommodate four 12- foot -wide lanes, a 6 -foot-
wide right shoulder, and a 1- foot -wide left shoulder in each direction. The existing
curb and 5- foot -wide sidewalks in the westbound direction and the existing concrete
barrier in the eastbound direction would stay.
• Improve the northbound Oak Street approach to 24th Street from one left -turn lane,
one shared left- turn /through lane, and one right -turn lanes to two left -turn lanes, one
shared left- turn /through lane, and two right -turn lanes. A raised /striped median or a
"pork chop (island)" will be installed for right turn movements onto eastbound 24th

Street. The section would consist of three through lanes, shoulders, a bike lane, and
an &foot -wide parkway.
• Build a new 6 -foot -wide sidewalk next to the existing curb on the west side of Oak
Street from the 24th Street intersection toward 22nd Street. Curb, gutter, and sidewalk
would be built on the east side of Oak Street from the 24th Street intersection toward
22nd Street.
• Restripe the southbound Oak Street lane approach to 24th Street from one shared
left- turn /through lane and one right -turn lane to one left -tum lane and one shared
through /right -turn lane.
• Improve the eastbound 24th Street approach to Oak Street from two through lanes
to four through lanes leaving the existing one left -turn lane and one right -turn lane. A
9- foot -high (exposed height) retaining wall with a 3 -foot -high barrier at Beach Park at
the southwest quadrant of the intersection would be built.
• Improve the westbound 24th Street approach to Oak Street from one through lane to
three through lanes.
• Build westbound and eastbound bus turnouts.
• Improve the northbound State Route 99 off -ramp from two left -turn lanes and one
free right -tum lane to three left -turn lanes and one free right -turn lane. The additional
left -turn lane would be 12 feet wide with a 4-foot -wide left shoulder. Eastbound 24th
Street would remain as -is, with three through lanes and an additional lane at the
northbound State Route 99 off -ramp free right turn.
Segment 3-24th Sheet Widening (from Olive Sheet to D Sheet), with a Reverse Curve (3-curve)
Segment 3 improvements include the following:
• Widen 24th Street between Olive Street and D Street to the north, adding two travel
lanes (one in each direction). The proposed roadway alignment would be shifted
north of the existing alignment about 17 feet, which would minimize the right -of -way
acquisition on the south side of 24th Street required for the roadway widening. Eleven
driveways along the north side of 24th Street would be eliminated. The impacts
include reconstruction of Carrier Canal on the north and south sides of 24th Street to
accommodate the widening. The parkway on the north side, between Olive Street
and Carrier Canal, would vary in width from 10 feet to 15 feet to accommodate sight
distance at Olive Street. Carrier Canal would be extended on the north and south
sides of 24th Street to accommodate widening of 24th Street. The north side would
require about 10 feet of culvert extension in addition to reconstructing about 30 feet
Of transition area; the south side would require about 100 feet of culvert extension in
addition to reconstructing about 30 feet of transition.

Build raised medians along 241h Street, restricting cross - street access to right-in/right-
out -only vehicular movements, with left -tum movements off of 24th Street allowed at
two eastbound intersections (Beech Street and C Street), but not at any westbound
intersections.
• Add a frontage road between Elm Street and Beech Street. On the north side of 24th
Street, a two -way frontage road connecting Elm Street to Beech Street would
provide additional access to Elm Street.
On the south side of 24th Street, construct cul -de -sacs at Elm, Beech, Myrtle, Spruce,
Pine, Cedar, A, and B Streets. Residents may construct decorative walls on their
properties behind the cul-de -sacs, subject to City approval.
This segment of the 24th Street widening includes a reverse curve that begins along 24th
Street near A Street and ends along 23rd Street near D Street. The reverse curve would
include the following features:
• Close D Street north leg at 23rd Street intersection due to sight distance limitations. A
turn - around design per City standards would be built on D Street at this location. A
permanent easement would be required within the existing parking area north of the
alley on the west side of D Street to provide a turnaround for fire trucks.
• Add a lane on 23rd Street at B Street.
• Open the southbound approach of C Street onto 23rd Street to allow left -in, left -out
access and to help circulation to and from existing buildings.
Segment 4 -23rd Sheet 124th Street Couplet (from D Sheet to 0.2 mile east of M Sheet)
Segment 4 improvements include the following:
• Improvements to the 23rd Street/ 24th Street couplet, including removing existing on-
street parking along both sides of 23rd and 24th Streets, rehabilitating the roadway,
and resiriping to allow an additional travel lane in each direction. The roadway
rehabilitation would include rebuilding the pavement, improving curb and drainage
facilities, providing Americans with Disabilities Act pedestrian curb ramps, changing
traffic signals and adding bus turnouts.
The design of the couplet area would include the following:
o The intersection of 24th Street and K Street would be changed to prevent a right
turn from southbound K Street onto westbound 24th Street. A raised curb and
sidewalk would extend halfway into K Street to prevent the right turn. A
permanent easement within the existing parking area would be required on the

west side of K Street, just north of the intersection, to provide a hammerhead cul-
de -sac design for fire truck movements.
• Along westbound 24th Street, the Project would end at the State
Route 178 undercrossing, about 0.2 mile east of M Street. The existing
undercrossing consists of three through lanes. A fourth lane would be added just
west of the undercrossing. No construction on the undercrossing is expected. The
24th Street Frontage Road would join 24th Street just east of M Street as it is under
the existing condition, and a fifth through lane of traffic would be added at the
M Street intersection. The rightmost lane would be dropped between M Street
and K Street.
• Along eastbound 23rd Street, the Project would end at the Union Avenue off -
ramp, about 0.2 mile east of M Street. Four eastbound through lanes would be
built through the M Street intersection. The fourth through lane would become the
off -ramp, and the three existing through lanes would continue to the
undercrossing. No construction on the undercrossing is planned.
• A midblock bus turnout would be provided on westbound 24th Street between
E Street and F Street. A far -side bus turnout would be provided on eastbound
23rd Street just east of G Street.
o D Street would be closed on the north side of 23b Sheet.
III. FINDINGS WITH RESPECT TO SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS
The City of Bakersfield, as Lead Agency and decision -maker for the Project, has reviewed
and considered the information contained in both the Recirculated Draft and Final EIRs
prepared for the 24th Street Improvement Project and the public record. The Lead
Agency makes the following finding pursuant to CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines:
The City of Bakersfield, as Lead Agency and decision - makers, having reviewed and
considered the information contained in the Recirculated Draft and Final EIRs prepared
for the 2411, Street Improvement Project and public records, finds that changes or
alterations to the Project will avoid or substantially lessen potentially significant
environmental impacts. These changes or alterations are related to the implementation
of the mitigation measures detailed in this document.
The City of Bakersfield, as Lead Agency and decision - makers, finds that significant and
unavoidable impacts on Cultural Resources (Historical Resources only) may occur with
future development in conjunction with implementation of the 24th Street Improvement
Project, despite mitigation. This finding requires that the Lead Agency issue a "Statement
of Overriding Considerations" under §15093 and 15126fb) of the State CEQA Guidelines if
the Lead Agency wishes to proceed with approval of the Project.

IV. FINDINGS WITH RESPECT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS
The City of Bakersfield, as Lead Agency for the environmental review of the Project,
makes the following findings with regard to the environmental review process
undertaken to analyze the potential environmental impacts of the Project:
Pursuant to the provisions of §15082 of the State CEQA Guidelines, as
amended, the City of Bakersfield, as Lead Agency, circulated a Notice of
Preparation (NOP) to public agencies, special districts, and members of
the public requesting such notice for a 30 -day period commencing on
April 11, 2008, and concluding on May 12, 2008.
During the circulation period for the NOP, the City of Bakersfield, as Lead
Agency, advertised and conducted a public scoping meeting on April 30,
2008, at the Kern County Superintendent of Schools Office.
A Draft EIR was prepared which analyzed project-related impacts related
to the following environmental issue areas: land use, community impacts
including community character and cohesion, relocations and property
acquisitions, and environmental justice, utilities and emergency services,
traffic and transportation including pedestrian and bicycle facilities,
visual /aesthetics, cultural resources, wafer quality and storm water runoff,
paleontology, hazardous waste or materials, air quality, noise and
vibration, energy, and biological resources. Project alternatives and
cumulative effects were also analyzed in the Draft EIR.
4. During the Draft EIR's public review period (a total of 53 days) which
began on May 23, 2012 and concluded on July 16, 2012, the City of
Bakersfield held a noticed public hearing on July 5, 2012, regarding the
Draft EIR. The public was afforded the opportunity to provide written and
oral comments on the Draft EIR at the public hearing, and the testimony
was considered by the decision - makers. Upon the close of the public
review period, the Lead Agency proceeded to evaluate and prepare
responses to all written and oral comments received from both citizens
and the public agency during the public review period. All comments
from the public hearings and those received during the public review
period were considered and addressed in the Final EIR /EA,completed in
December 2013. The Final EIR portion of the environmental document
was decertified by the Bakersfield City Council in September 2015. The
City has prepared the Recirculated Draft EIR focusing on the inclusion of
six additional cul -de -sacs in the proposed project description that had
been separately approved, and to expand the explanations about
alternatives that were considered, but rejected, two areas found to be
deficient under CEQA by the Superior Court for the State of California,
County of Kern. The Recirculated Draft EIR was circulated for public review
between January 11 and February 25, 2016 (a total of 46 days). The City of
Bakersfield Planning Commission held a pubic hearing for the
Recirculated Draft EIR at the City of Bakersfield City Hall -South City Council
Chambers on January 21, 2016. The City of Bakersfield City Planning

Commission used a formal format for the public hearing. Following a staff
presentation on the project, the public and planning commissioners had
the opportunity to comment on the presentation and the project. A court
reporter documented all comments.
The aforementioned comments and responses and other information
consistent with the requirements of §15132 of the State CEGA Guidelines,
as amended, comprise the Final EIR and which include the following: (1)
Original Volume 1 of FEIR /EA (2103), with minor revisions, including
technical appendices (Volume 1 of 3); (2) Original Volume 2 of FEIR /EA
(2013), with minor revisions, including Comments and Responses (Volume
2 of 3); (3) Recirculated FEIR and Comments and Responses (Volume 3 of
3); Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and (4) all attachments,
incorporations and references to the documents identified above.
Following completion of the Responses to Comments document, the Lead
Agency's responses to the comments received from the public agencies
were transmitted to those public agencies for consideration at least 10
days prior to the Final EIR's certification.
Custodian and Location of Records
The documents and other materials which constitute the administrative record for the City's
actions related to the Project are located at the City of Bakersfield Planning Department, 1715
Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, California 93301. The Planning Department is the custodian of the
administrative record for the Project. This information is provided in compliance with Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6(a)(2) and 14 California Code Regulations Section 15091(e).
V. FINDINGS REGARDING IMPACTS CONSIDERED INSIGNIFICANT
The Final EIR determined that the following environmental parameters would result in
insignificant impacts and therefore, require no mitigation measures:
AESTHETICS. Wouid the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
No Impact. Scenic vistas are defined as expansive views of highly - valued landscapes
from publicly accessible viewpoints. Scenic vistas include views of natural features such
as topography, wafer courses, rock outcrops, and natural vegetation, as well as man-
made scenic structures. The Project site is an existing arterial roadway, and is relatively
flat with no significant topographic relief or features.
Commercial, open space, and roadway uses are in the western portion of the Project
area; residential uses are in the central portion of the Project area; and commercial uses
are in the eastern portion of the Project area. The Project area is mostly developed, and
views from this corridor consist of urban development, open spaces, and the Kern River;
however, the area is not regarded or designated as visually important or "scenic" in the
Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan (MBGP). Additionally, development of the Project
would not block or preclude views to any area containing important or what would be

considered visually appealing landforms. Therefore, scenic vistas would not be affected
by the development of the Project and no impacts would occur.
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
No Impact. As discussed immediately above, the Project site is an existing arterial
roadway. According to Caltrans' California Scenic Highway Program and the National
Scenic Byways Program, the Project is not in the vicinity of a federal or state scenic
highway or any roadway that is considered eligible for designation as a scenic highway.
Additionally, the Project is not visible from a designated local scenic
highway /roadway /trail and does not contain scenic resources, including frees or rock
outcroppings. There are no historical resources located within a designated scenic
highway. Therefore, scenic resources associated with a state scenic highway would not
be affected and no impacts would occur.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance
(Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the Colifomia Resources Agency, to non - agricultural use?
No Impact. The Project site is currently zoned as commercial, industrial, mixed use, open
space, public facilities and residential. The Project area is not zoned for agricultural uses.
Therefore, the Project would not convert farmland designated as Prime, Unique or of
Statewide Importance to nonagricultural uses and no impacts would occur.
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act Contract?
No Impact. The Project area is not zoned for agricultural use and no Williamson Act
Contracts would be affected by the Project. Therefore, the Project would not conflict
with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act Contract and no impacts
would occur.
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment that, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non - agricultural use?
No Impact. The Project area is comprised of commercial, industrial, mixed use, open
space, public facilities and residential uses. There is no farmland in the immediate vicinity
that could be converted to a non - agricultural use. Therefore, the Project would not result
in changes in the existing environment that, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non - agricultural use and no impacts would occur.

a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
No Impact. The Project is listed in the Kern Council of Governments 2013 Federal
Transportation Improvement Program. The Project is also included in the 2011 financially
constrained Regional Transportation Plan Amendment No. I. The design concept and
scope of the Project is consistent with the project description in both of these plans. No
impacts would occur. In addition, The Project would not substantially contribute to or
cause deterioration of existing air quality: therefore, mitigation measures are not required
for the long -tens operation of the project. The Project is also considered consistent With
the City of Bakersfield and Kern County General Plans and the San Joaquin Valley Air
Pollution Control District and Kern Council of Governments Air Quality Management Plan
forecasts. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of
an applicable air quality plan and no impacts would occur.
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
No Impact. Construction activities associated with the Project may generate detectable
odors from heavy-duty equipment exhaust. Odors associated with diesel and gasoline
fumes are transitory in nature and would not create objectionable odors affecting a
substantial number of people. The impacts from these odors would be short-term and
would cease upon Project completion. Therefore, the Project would no create
objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people and no impacts would
occur.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool,
coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
No Impact. No federally protected wetlands were found in the Biological Study Area. A
detention basin lies in the eastern end of the Project study area, but it is not subject to
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction. Fieldwork for the jurisdictional delineation was
done by qualified biologists on August 19, 2008. Follow -up field visits were done on April 3,
September 9, and November 18, 2009, and January 21, 2010. Based on fieldwork, it was
determined that although there are no federally protected wetlands, there are
jurisdictional features (non- wetland waters) in the Biological Study Area that are subject
to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of Fish and
Wildlife, and Regional Water Quality Control Board. Therefore, the Project would not
have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands, as defined by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act through direct removal, filling, hydrological
interruption, or other means and no impacts would occur.
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as
a tree preservation policy or ordinance?

No Impact. No biological resources and /or trees that are protected by local policies or
ordinances are present within the Project area. Therefore, the Project would not conflict
with any local policy or other ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree
preservation policy or other ordinances and no impacts would occur.
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat
conservation plan?
No Impact. The Project area is included within the Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat
Conservation Plan and impacts to biological resources would be mitigated through the
plan. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat
Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local,
regional, or state habitat conservation plan and no impacts would occur.
GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project:
a) ij Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk
of loss, injury, or death involving: Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on
the most recent Alquist -Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the state Geologist
for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of
Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.
No Impact. The Project area is located in the center portion of Kern County, which is an
area of known seismic activity. The risk of seismic hazards such as fault rupture cannot be
avoided. It should be noted however, that the Project entails the widening of an existing
roadway and does not include habitable structures such as buildings. It does include the
construction of soundwalls and these structures would be built according to standard
engineering design measures, as required by the State of California Uniform Building
Code to minimize potential earthquake impacts. The general intent of the building and
construction design codes is to minimize structural damage resulting from a seismic
event. Therefore, the Project would not expose people or structures to potential
substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving rupture of a
known earthquake fault and no impacts would occur.
a) ii) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the
risk of loss, injury, or death involving: Strong seismic ground shaking?
No Impact. All residents and structures located California, including the City of
Bakersfield are subject to seismic events, such as strong seismic ground shaking. The
Project entails the widening of an existing roadway and does not include habitable
structures, such as buildings. If does include the construction of soundwalls and these
structures would be built according to standard engineering design measures, as
required by the State of California Uniform Building Code to minimize potential
earthquake impacts. The general intent of the building and construction design codes is
to minimize structural damage resulting from a seismic event. Therefore, the Project
would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including
the risk of loss, injury, or death involving strong seismic ground shaking and no impacts
would occur.

al iii) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the
risk of loss, injury, or death involving: Seismic - related ground failure, including
liquefaction?
No Impact According to the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan, the Project is not
located within an area of high groundwater that would be subject to seismic - related
ground failure, including liquefaction. The Project entails the widening of an existing
roadway and does not include habitable structures, such as buildings. It does include the
construction of soundwalls and these structures would be built according to standard
engineering design measures, as required by the State of California Uniform Building
Code to minimize potential earthquake impacts. The general intent of the building and
construction design codes is to minimize structural damage resulting from a seismic
event. Therefore, the Project would not expose people or structures to potential
substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving seismic -
related ground failure, including liquefaction and no impacts would occur,
a) iv) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the
risk of loss, injury, or death involving: Landslides?
No Impact. According to the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan, due to the relatively
flat topography and the lack of steep slopes in the Project area, landslides are not
considered to be a potentially significant geologic hazard. The Project entails the
widening of an existing roadway and does not include habitable structures, such as
buildings. It does include the construction of soundwalls and these structures would be
built according to standard engineering design measures, as required by the State of
California Uniform Building Code to minimize potential geologic impacts. The general
intent of the building and construction design codes is to minimize structural damage
resulting from a geologic or seismic event. Therefore, the Project would not expose
people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss,
injury, or death involving landslides and no impacts would occur.
bj Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
No Impact. The Project entails widening of an existing arterial roadway and would be
subject to the City of Bakersfield ordinances and standards relative to soils and geology.
Construction would not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil and no
impacts would occur.
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable
as a result of the project, and potentially result in an on -site or off -site landslide, lateral
spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
No Impact. The Project entails widening of an existing arterial roadway and would be
subject to the City of Bakersfield ordinances and standards relative to soils and geology.
There are no habitable structures proposed. The Final FIR determined that there are no
issues related to on -site or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or
collapse and no impacts would occur.

d) Be located an expansive soil, as defined in Table 18 -1 -B of the Uniform Building Code
(1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
No Impact. Refer to response (c) immediately above. Therefore, no impacts would
occur.
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative
waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste
water?
No Impact. The Project entails widening of an existing arterial roadway and would not
require the use of septic tanks and no impacts would occur.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project.
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a
significant impact on the environment?
No Impact. An individual project does not generate enough greenhouse gas emissions
to significantly influence global climate change. Rather, global climate change is a
cumulative impact. This means that a project may contribute to a potential impact
through its incremental change in emissions when combined with the contributions of all
other sources of greenhouse gases. In assessing cumulative impacts, it must be
determined if a project's incremental effect is "cumulatively considerable" (California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines sections 15064(h)(I) and 15130). To make this
determination the incremental impacts of the project must be compared with the
effects of past, current, and probable future projects. To gather sufficient information on
a global scale of all past, current, and future projects in order to make this determination
is a difficult, if not impossible, task
While greenhouse gas emissions will slightly increase during construction, it is expected
the Project would not increase any operational greenhouse gas emissions. Based on the
project resulting in less congestion and improved operations, the City of Bakersfield
expects that greenhouse gas emissions would not increase in the future build conditions
when compared to the future no -build conditions. In addition, there are also limitations
with the use of Emission Factor Model (EMFAC) (which is used to calculate emissions) and
with assessing what a given carbon dioxide emissions increase means for climate
change. Therefore, it is the City's determination that in the absence of further regulatory
or scientific information related to greenhouse gas emissions and California
Environmental Quality Act significance, it is too speculative to make a determination
regarding significance of the project's direct impact and its contribution on the
cumulative scale to climate change. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of
reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
No Impact. While there are several State Senate and Assembly bills and executive orders
in the State of California to deal with greenhouse gas emissions and climate change,
these bills and orders outline goals to have the State reduce the total greenhouse gas

emissions, reduce automobile and light -truck greenhouse gas emissions, and setting forth
low carbon fuel standards for the State. None of these bills or orders are directly related
to the Project. There are also Executive Orders at the federal level aimed at reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. Again, these Orders offer no specific strategies to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, only outlines of goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
While the Project greenhouse gas emissions will slightly increase during construction, it is
expected the Project would not increase any operational greenhouse gas emissions.
Based on the Project resulting in less congestion and improved operations, it is expected
that greenhouse gas emissions would not increase in the future build conditions when
compared to the future no -build conditions. Therefore, there would be no conflicts with
applicable plans, policies or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing the
emissions of greenhouse gases. No impacts would occur.
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project:
d) Be on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to
Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard
to the public?
No Impact. According to the Initial Site Assessment conducted for the project location,
database search results did not find any Government Code Section 65962.5 sites located
with the project footprint (disturbance area). Therefore, the Project is not on a site that is
included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code
Section 65962.5 and would not create a significant hazard to the public and as such, no
impacts would occur.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not
been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the
project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
No Impact. The Project is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles
of a public use airport. The closest public use airport is Meadows Field Airport (BFL),
which is located approximately 3 miles north of the Project. Therefore, the Project is a
sufficient distance from these areas and would not have the potential to expose people
to associated safety hazards. Additionally, the Project is not located within any area
subject to the land use restrictions of the County of Kern 1996 Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plan, which covers all of Kern County. Therefore, the Project would not
result in a safety hazard from airports for people working or residing in the Project area
and no impacts would occur.
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety
hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
No Impact, Joe Gottlieb Field, a private airstrip, is located approximately 6 miles west of
the Project. The runway is treated dirt that is 2,300 feet long, 40 feet wide, and runs east
to west. Because the Project entails roadway widening of an existing roadway and is
located some 6 miles from this private airstrip, it would not cause a safety hazard for
people residing or working thin the Project area. No impacts are anticipated.

h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland
fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are
intermixed with wildlands?
No Impact. The Project is not located adjacent to a wildland area. The existing roadway
is not considered susceptible to wildland fires. Therefore, the Project would not expose
people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires,
including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are
intermixed with wildlands and as such, no impacts would occur.
HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project.
g) Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood
Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map?
No Impact. The project does not include the construction of housing and no work would
be performed within the 100 -year floodplain of the Kern River. All work would be
performed from the 24th Street bridge deck and would not extend below the Base Flood
Elevations established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Therefore, the
Project would not place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a
federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard
delineation map and as such, no impacts would occur.
h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect
flood flows?
No Impact. The Project is not located within a 100 -year flood hazard area. Refer to
response Hydrology and Water Quality, h) immediately above. Therefore, the Project
would not place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or
redirect flood flows and as such, no impacts would occur.
i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding,
including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
No Impact. Isabella Dam, which is located approximately 40 miles northeast of
Bakersfield, has a capacity to hold 570,000 acre -feet of water. If an earthquake were to
occur in the vicinity, it could result in a break in the dam. This could, under certain
conditions, cause the entire lake storage to be released, which would result in flooding
60 square miles of the Metropolitan Bakersfield area. As a result of the possible dangers
associated with Isabella Dam, the City of Bakersfield entered the Regular Phase of the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) as administered FEMA on May 1, 1985.
Compliance with the NFIP and FEMA would be required. The Project entails widening of
an existing arterial roadway and does not propose habitable structures. Therefore, the
Project would not expose people or structures to flooding as a result of a failure of a
levee or dam. No impacts would occur.
jJ Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
No Impact. Although the Carrier Canal and the Kern River crosses the Project, there are

no large bodies of open water located on or adjacent to the Project site. Lake Isabella
Dam is located some 40 miles northeast and the Pacific Ocean is located some 100 miles
to the west of the project site. Therefore, the Project is not considered susceptible to a
seiche or tsunami. The Project is also not located at the foot of any significant
topographical feature with the potential to be subject to mud0ow and the Kern River is
extensively managed for flood and mudflow through floodplain ordinance protections
and other development restrictions. No impacts would occur.
LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project:
a) Physically, divide an established community?
No Impact. The Project would not divide an established community. The Project entails
the widening of an existing arterial roadway within the Bakersfield residential
neighborhoods of Riviera and Westchester, including the construction of eight cul -de-
sacs on the south side of that roadway. No impacts would occur.
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with
jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan,
local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or
mitigating an environmental effect?
No Impact. The Project is included in several local and regional planning documents and
is consistent with the goals, policies, and land use designations of those documents. The
Project is consistent with the regional mobility goals of the Kern Council of Governments
(COG), Caltrans, and the City. The Project is also consistent with applicable City General
Plan goals and policies to improve transportation corridors, provide adequate
infrastructure, maintain efficient traffic operations on City streets, create a pedestrian -
friendly environment in the residential neighborhoods abutting the Project area, and
work with Kern COG and Calirans to improve the corridor. No impacts would occur.
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan?
No Impact. See Biological Resources, f) above for more information. No impacts would
occur.
MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to
the region and the residents of the state?
No Impact. The Project entails the widening of an existing arterial roadway and does not
include or preclude the extraction of mineral resources. However. Bakersfield has large
oil deposits under it. Active oil and gas production fields are located around the city. The
Project would not increase rates of existing oil extraction or affect production for any on-
site oil wells. The Project would not result in the loss or availability of mineral resources of
value to the region or the residents of the state. No impacts would occur.
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site

NOISE.
ej For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not
been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the
project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
No Impact. The Project is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles
of a public use airport. In addition, the Project is not located within any area subject to
the land use restrictions of the adopted County of Kern 1996 Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plan. No impacts would occur.
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
No Impact. Joe Gottlieb Field, a private airstrip, is located approximately 6 miles west of
the Project. The Project entails the widening of an existing arterial roadway and would
not have the potential to expose people to excessive noise generated by aircraft or
airport operations. No impacts would occur.
POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by
proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of
roads or other infrastructure)?
No Impact. The Project is located in downtown Bakersfield and entails the widening of an
existing arterial roadway. The Project area is entirely built out, and any new development
would be subject to general plan and zoning regulations. 24th Street is an existing
transportation facility and its improvement is consistent with the approved regional, local,
and transportations plans and anticipated population growth. Therefore, the Project
would not result in population growth impacts. No impacts would occur.
PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project:
a) Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or
Physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered
governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental
impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other
performance objectives for any of the public services: Other public facilities?

a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of
effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, faking into account all
modes of transportation including mass transit and non - motorized travel and relevant
components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets,
highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit?
No Impact. The Project does not conflict with any plan, ordinance or policy regarding
the performance of the circulation system including mass transit and non - motorized
travel or intersections, streets, highways, freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths and
mass transit. The Project is consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan, the
Kern COG'S Federal Transportation Improvement Program, Assembly Bill 1358- Complete
Streets Act, and the Bakersfield Systems Plan. No impacts would occur.
b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not
limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards
established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or
highways?
No Impact. See response to Transportation/Traffic, a) above. In addition, according to
the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan, the City of Bakersfield strives to maintain a
target Level of Service C on its roadways. Caltrans District 6 strives to maintain a target
Level of Service at the transition between Level of Service C and Level of Service D on all
state facilities within the district. The Project would improve Level of Service within the
study area. In addition, the Project is intended to relieve existing and future congestion.
No impacts would occur.
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or
a change in location that results in substantial safety risks?
No Impact. The Project entails the widening of an existing arterial roadway and would
not affect any airport or air traffic patterns. Therefore, the Project would have no impacts
on air traffic patterns, levels, or locations or associated safety risks. No impacts would
occur.

f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the
project's solid waste disposal needs?
No Impact. The nearest operating landfill is the Bakersfield Metropolitan (Bens) Landfill.
Scholl Canyon is located approximately 9 miles from the Project site. In 2010, the landfill
had an estimated remaining capacity of approximately 35 million cubic yards (64.8
percent of its total capacity). The Bakersfield Metropolitan (Bens) Landfill is capable of
accommodating waste generated by the Project during construction; accordingly, it
would have no impact on surrounding landfill available capacities. No impacts would
occur.
gi Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
No Impact. The Project would be in compliance with all federal, state, and local codes
and regulations pertaining to the disposal of solid waste. These codes include Part 13
Title 42 - Public Health and Welfare of the California Health and Safety Code, and
Chapter 39 Solid Waste Disposal - of the United States Code. The Project would also be
compliant with AB 939, the California Solid Waste Management Act, which requires each
city in the state to divert at least 50 percent of their solid waste from landfill disposal
through source reduction, recycling, and composting. Because the Project would
implement and be consistent with the procedures and policies detailed in these codes,
there would be no impacts associated with consistency related to laws pertaining to
solid waste disposal. No impacts would occur.
VI. FINDINGS REGARDING EFFECTS DETERMINED TO BE INSIGNIFICANT OR LESS THAN
SIGNIFICANT
The City of Bakersfield finds that based on substantial evidence appearing in the Final
FIR, Technical Appendices, and in the administrative record, that the Project would have
insignificant or less than significant impacts in the following areas.
AESTHETICS. Would the project:
of Create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
Less Than Significant Impact. The widening of 24th Street would allow more vehicular trips
and introduce additional sources of light and glare associated with vehicle headlights.
No additional traffic signals or street lighting would be installed. Residents along
realigned 23rd Street and 24th Street would experience levels and sources of light and
glare similar to existing conditions. The change in roadway alignment at the S -curve
(couplet area), however, would slightly increase light and glare from vehicle headlights
for residents on the south side of 23rd Street. Commercial uses along 23rd Street and 24th
Street, from D Street to Q Street, would not see more light or glare. Although at project
completion, light and glare in the area would be similar to what they are now and

e A E R s F L O SCN No. 2008041070
Avoidance and Minimization Measure V -3 (see Section VII below) will be incorporated
into the Project. Impacts would be less than significant.
AIR QUALITY. Would the project.
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected
air quality violation?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Project would reduce the vehicle emissions within the
region both for the opening year (by 2 tons per year for regional organic gases and
oxides of nitrogen, and 7,405 tons per year carbon dioxide) and over the long term by 2
tons per year for regional organic gases, 1 ton per year for oxides of nitrogen, and 9,812
tons per year of carbon dioxide. Therefore, the Project would improve air quality by
reducing regional vehicle emissions, thus improving future air quality.
A qualitative project -level particulate matter hot spot analysis was presented to the Kern
COG for review on August 25, 2009. The Kern COG on August 2, 2010 approved the
project -level particulate matter hot spot analysis and concurred that the Project would
not have an adverse impact on air quality and that it meets the requirements of the
California Clean Air Act and 40 Code of Federal Regulations 93.116.
A quantitative project4evel particulate matter hot spot analysis was prepared for the
Project to determine if the Project would result in a local impact on particulate matter
less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2s)and particulate matter less than 10 microns in
diameter (PMio) emission concentrations. The analysis concluded that implementation of
the Project would reduce the existing (2010) PMzs by about 3 percent and PMio by about
65 percent. Therefore, impacts to PM2.5 and PMio would not occur.
Under the Project, it is expected that there would be similar or lower mobile source air
toxics emissions in the study area relative to the No -Build Alternative due to the Level of
Service improvement achieved by the Project. On a regional basis, the Environmental
Protection Agency's vehicle and fuel regulations, coupled with fleet turnover, would
substantially reduce mobile source air foxics over time that, in almost all cases, would
cause regionwide mobile source air foxics levels to be substantially lower within the study
area than they are today.
Therefore, implementation of the Project would result in a less than significant impact to
air quality and would not violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an
existing or projected air quality violation.
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which
the project region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air
quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for
ozone precursors) ?
Less Than Significant Impact. As described in Air Quality, b) above, the Project would
reduce air emissions when compared to the No -Build Alternative. Although the impacts
would be less than significant, the implementation of Avoidance and Minimization
Measures AQ -2 and AQ -3 (see Section VII below) would further minimize the impacts.

d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentration?
Less Than Significant Impact. Sensitive receptors people, school, etc.) would not be
exposed to substantial pollutant concentrations since the Project would result in a less
than significant impact to air quality, as noted in response Air Quality, b) above. Impacts
would be less than significant.
CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Less Than Significant Impact. No archaeological resources were identified within the
Area of Potential Effects by the archival research or the field survey. However, if
previously unidentified human remains are unearthed during construction, the work will
be halted in that area until the County Coroner can assess the significance of the find. In
the event human remains are encountered during construction of the Project, standard
Avoidance and Minimization Measure CR -2 (see section VII below) would be
implemented. Impacts would be less than significant.
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine
transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
Less Than Significant Impact. Construction activities would involve the limited transport,
storage, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. Some examples of hazardous materials
include fuels, lubricating fluids, and solvents, lead -based paint, polychlorinated biphenyl,
and asbestos containing materials. These types of materials, however, are not acutely
hazardous and all storage, handling and disposal of these materials are regulated by the
California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), USEPA, and Occupational
Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). Although impacts would be less than significant
with implementation of the Project, Avoidance and Minimization Measure HAZ -1 (see
Section VII below) has been incorporated into the Project.
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous material,
substances, or waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
Less Than Significant Impact The closest public schools are Franklin Elementary School
and Downtown Elementary School. There is one alternative public school, the Kern
County Community School. All three of these schools are within one -half mile of the
Project. The Project entails the widening of an existing arterial roadway; the transport,
use, or disposal of hazardous materials associated with the Project would be done so in
accordance with existing regulations. Impacts would be less than significant.
HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?

SCH No. 2008041070
Less Than Significant Impact. All project-related activities would comply with the
requirements of the Clean Water Act and Caltrans National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit. As part of Caltrans Project Delivery Storm Water Management
Program described in the Storm Water Management Plan, selected Construction Site,
Design Pollution Prevention, and Treatment best management practices (small and large
footprint basins) would be incorporated into the final design of the Project to reduce
potential water quality impacts. Although impacts would be less than significant
Avoidance and Minimization Measures WQ -1 through WQ4 (see Section VII below) have
been incorporated into the Project.
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater
recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the
local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre - existing nearby wells
would drop to a level that would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which
permits have been granted)?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Project entails the widening of an existing arterial
roadway and its construction and operation would not directly change the quantity of
groundwater or have any impact upon aquifers, as groundwater beneath the area
would not be utilized as part of the Project and therefore, impacts would be less than
significant.
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through
the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner that would result in
substantial erosion orsiltation on oroffsite?
Less Than Significant Impact. Construction activities to widen 24m Street would
temporarily affect the existing drainage patterns by requiring the extension of Carrier
Canal, which carries flows underneath 24m Street. To build the extension of Carrier Canal,
a temporary diversion conduit would be built next to Carrier Canal to divert flows during
construction. The temporary diversion is necessary to maintain the use of the water by
downstream holders of water rights for irrigation. It is estimated that the diversion conduit
would be used for three months, the time estimated to extend the 241h Street culvert. The
diversion conduit would be about 350 linear feet and consist of a triple -pipe culvert.
The diversion would be built in three phases. First, the triple -pipe diversion would be built
next to the canal. Next, walls of Carrier Canal near the beginning and end of the
diversion channel would be removed to allow flows through the canal and in the
diversion structure simultaneously, so flows within the canal would not be affected.
Finally, a temporary dam would be placed just upstream and downstream of the Carrier
Canal /2411, Street culvert, and flows would be diverted into the diversion conduit. After
the culvert is completed, the diversion conduit would be blocked and flows would be
restored to the existing flow path in Carrier Canal. All wafer work would conform to the
conditions stated in the 401 Certification for clean water diversion and dewatering.
Impacts would be less than significant.
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through
the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or
amount of surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on or offsite?

Less Than Significant Impact The Project site has about 48 acres of impervious areas. The
Project would increase the impervious areas by about 4 acres. The estimated increase in
surface water would be 5.400 cubic feet, which would likely affect Kern River; therefore,
treatment control best management practices (small and large footprint basins) would
be implemented as a part of the Project. Since the Kern River watershed is substantially
larger 12.3 million acres) than the Project site (48 acres), the Project would have minimal
impacts to the stormwater runoff because the peak runoff from the Project area would
have already passed before the peak runoff from the Kern River watershed could reach
the project location. Therefore impacts from stormwater runoff would be less than
significant. Implementation of the Project would result in a nominal increase in the peak
discharge in Kern River; therefore, impacts to the Kern River floodway would be less than
significant.
e) Create or contribute runoff water that would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of
polluted runoff?
Less Than Significant Impact Construction and operation of the Project would not create
or contribute runoff water that would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm
water drainage systems or additional sources of polluted runoff. The Project has been
designed to address increased stormwater flows and would not exceed the capacity of
existing facilities. In addition, Best Management Practices have been incorporated to
treat stormwater runoff from the Project site prior to discharging to the existing drainage
system and would not create additional sources of polluted runoff. Impacts would be less
than significant.
If Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
Less Than Significant Impact. Operation of the Project has the potential to affect the
water quality of the Kern River. Expected pollutants from the Project include total
suspended solids, nutrients, pesticides, particulate matter, dissolved metals, pathogens,
litter, biochemical oxygen demand, and turbidity. Permanent treatment control best
management practices have been incorporated into the project design. These
treatment control best management practices would reduce pollutants from the existing
roadway and from the proposed improvements and widening to less than significant
levels. Impacts would be less than significant.
POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project.
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
Less Than Significant Impact. While the Project would not displace substantial numbers of
existing housing, which would necessitate the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere, the Project would require full parcel acquisitions of 23 residential properties.
Although these impacts are considered less than significant since adequate
replacement housing is available, Minimization Measure R -1 (see Section VII below)
would be implemented.

replacement housing elsewhere?
Less Than Significant Impact. See Population and Housing, b) above. Although these
impacts are considered less than significant since adequate replacement housing is
available, Minimization Measure R -1 see Section VII below) would be implemented to
further minimze impacts.
PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project:
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically
altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or
other performance objectives for any of the public services: Fire Protection, Police
Protection, and Schools?
Less Than Significant Impact There are no public service facilities within the project study
area. The placement of eight cul-de -sacs on the south side of 24th Street would constrain
north -south cross traffic in the residential neighborhood where those streets intersect;
however, emergency response vehicles would continue to have access to the houses on
those streets via 23rd Street. The expansion of travel lanes on 24m Street are expected to
provide a safer and speedier response time for emergency services by helping to avoid
conflicts with slower- moving vehicles and oncoming traffic. Over the long -term, the
overall emergency service response times through the project area would be
maintained or improved.
Emergency services could experience temporary, short-term traffic delays and
temporary and intermittent road detours around the project area during construction.
This could result in delayed response times for police, fire protection, and emergency
services. All circulation changes would be designed to help entry and exit of emergency
response vehicles during construction phases. Although potential temporary impacts to
service providers would be less than significant, Avoidance and Minimization Measures U-
2 and U -3 (see Section VII below) would be implemented to further minimize impacts.
RECREATION. Would the project:
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or
other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility
would occur or be accelerated?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Project entails the widening of an existing arterial
roadway and does not included uses that could cause the physical deterioration of an
existing park facility nor would it cause its accelerated deterioration and therefore,
impacts are less than significant.
TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC. Would the project

UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project:
c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion
of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental
effects?
Less Than Significant Impact. As part of the Project, new curbs and gutters would be
constructed as well as small and large footprint best management practices (basins).
The construction of these facilities was determined to result in less than significant
impacts.
VII. FINDINGS REGARDING EFFECTS DETERMINED TO BE MITIGATED TO LESS THAN SIGNFICANT
LEVELS
The City of Bakersfield, having reviewed and considered the information contained in the
Final EIR, Technical Appendices and the administrative record, finds, pursuant to
California Public Resources Code 21081 (a) (1) and State CEQA Guidelines § 15091 (a) (1),
that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project
which would mitigate, avoid, or substantially lessen to below a level of significance the
following potentially significant environmental effects identified in the Final EIR in the
following categories: Aesthetics /Visual, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural
Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise,
Population and Housing, and Public Services.
The potentially significant adverse environmental impacts that can be mitigated are
listed below. The City of Bakersfield finds that these potentially significant adverse
impacts can be mitigated to a level that is considered less than significant after
implementation of mitigation measures identified of the Final EIR.

Facts SUDDorflna Findin
The Project would result in visual impacts as a result of increased hardscape features
(widened roadway, proposed retaining wall, potential soundwall /barrier features, cul -de-
sacs, trees and sidewalks, and raised curbed median with fencing), relocation of
housing, and restriping of portions of 24th Street.
Mitigation Measures V -1, V -2, V -4, and V -5 of the Final FIR would reduce impacts below a
level of significance. The measures are as follows:
V -1 The Project must include landscaping that is compatible with the existing
landscaping of the project area. Landscaping must include specimen -sized trees
(244nch box or greater) where feasible and shrub /mass planting to soften the
hardscape features. Areas of vegetation buffer must not conflict with applicable
safety-related standards and regulations pertaining to roadway line -of -sight or
landscape worker safety. Landscaping must include, to the extent feasible, the
following measures:
Landscaping species should be well suited for the local climate, humidity,
soil types, and local wind conditions.
Selected species should share similar water requirements.
Appropriate plant spacing should be allowed to avoid overcrowding.
Landscape concepts should include zoning areas of high, medium, and
low water use to meet the needs for water usage and achieve efficiency.
Mulches, gravels (or other inert materials), and drip for other nonspray)
irrigation should be implemented.
Irrigation equipment should be designed to maximize maintenance
worker safety.
V -2 To enhance the pedestrian experience along 24th Street, provide a sense of
security, and increase the visual intactness, a vegetation buffer must, where
feasible, be installed between 24th Street and sidewalks along the northern and
southern sides of the roadway. Trees, where feasible, must also be included within
and along 24th Street. Areas of the vegetation buffer must not conflict with
applicable safety -related standards and regulations pertaining to roadway line-
of- sight.
V -4 To decrease the appearance of hardscape features, including soundwalls,
medians, and opaque fencing materials, landscape and architectural treatments
such as color, texture, and vine treatment must be applied where feasible.
Aesthetic enhancement shall be similar in character to the surrounding
environment.
V -5 To buffer views of the realigned roadway from residents, a vegetation buffer must
be installed south of the S -curve between the proposed roadway and existing
residents. Areas of the vegetation buffer must not conflict with appropriate
safety - related standards and regulations pertaining to roadway line -of- sight. In

consultation with the City before project approval, the vegetative buffer must be
included on the landscape concept plan and plant palette.
As noted above in Section VI, although impacts were determined to be less than
significant, Avoidance and Minimization Measure V -3 of the Final EIR will be
implemented. The measure is as follows:
V -3 The City must review and approve the use of project lighting types, plans, and
placement to minimize light and glare impacts on surrounding sensitive uses.
AIR QUALITY. Would the project.
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected
air quality violation?
Facts Su000rtina Finding
Short-term air pollutant emissions associated with the Project include fugitive dust from
grading /site preparation and equipment exhaust. Construction activities produce
combustion emissions from various sources, such as site grading, utility engines, onsite
heavy -duty construction vehicles, equipment hauling materials to and from the site, and
motor vehicles transporting the construction crew. While detailed construction
equipment exhaust calculations were not performed, it is assumed that the San Joaquin
Valley Air Pollution Control District Rule 9510 threshold of two tons of nitrogen oxide would
be exceeded by the construction of the project.
Implementation of Minimization Measures AQ -1, AQ-4, and AQ -5 of the Final EIR would
ensure impacts to air quality are below a level of significance. The measures are as
follows:
AQ -1 San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Regulation VIII, Control Measures
for Construction Emissions of Particulate Matter Less than 10 Microns in Size, shall
be implemented at all construction sites. Per San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution
Control District Regulation VIII, Rule 8021, a fugitive dust control plan shall be
submitted to the Air Pollution Control Officer of the San Joaquin Valley Air
Pollution Control District before the start of any onsite constmction activity.
AQ -4 The contractor shall adhere to the Caltrans Standard Specifications for
Construction (Sections 10 and 18, Dust Control; and Section 39 -3.06, Asphalt
Concrete Plant Emissions).
AQ -5 Before applying for a final discretionary approval, the City of Bakersfield shall
comply with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Regulation IX,
Mobile and Indirect Sources, Rule 9510, Indirect Source Review, and submit an Air
Impact Assessment to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.
As noted above in Section VI, although impacts were determined to be less than
significant, Avoidance and Minimization Measures AQ -2 and AQ -3 of the Final FIR will be
implemented. The measures are as follows:

The Project may affect the San Joaquin kit fox due to the presence of suitable denning
and foraging habitat in and next to the Biological Study Area. The impacts of the Project
on the San Joaquin kit fox are described as direct and indirect impacts. Direct impacts
are expected to be caused by the Project at the time of construction. Indirect impacts
are those caused by the Project after the roadway improvements are operational.
Although indirect impacts are unintended, they are still reasonably certain to occur.
Direct temporary impacts include short-term disturbance to ruderal /disturbed (including
barren ground( habitat that would result from grading, staging, and implementation of
the temporary construction easements. These habitats would be restored to pre - project
conditions following construction.
Permanent impacts include those that occur at the time of construction and remain
following project completion and those that occur when the area is permanently
converted from one cover /habitat type to another. Direct impacts would include loss of
suitable habitat (south of 24th Street between Oak Street and Carrier Canal), den
destruction, and the increased risk of injury and death from vehicles.
Mitigation Measures NC -1, NC -6, NC-8, AS -1 through AS -9 and TE -1 through TE -11 of the
Final EIR would reduce impacts to habitat modifications below a level of significance.
The measures are as follows:
NC -1 A biological monitor shall be onsite during construction activities within the Kern
River riverbed on an as- needed basis to assist the contractor in complying with
the project minimization measures and to provide guidance in avoiding and /or
minimizing impacts to biological resources.
NC -6 A weed abatement program shall be developed to minimize the importation of
nonnative plant material during and after construction. Eradication strategies
shall be employed should an invasion occur.
NC -S Before grading and /or construction activity involving the disturbance of any
native vegetation, the City shall install fencing, flagging, lathe and rope, or other
devices to delineate the maximum disturbance limits acceptable to and under
the supervision of a qualified biologist.
AS -1 A preconstruction survey shall be conducted at the Kern River banks and the
detention basin in the southeast quadrant of the Oak Street /241h Street
intersection before starting construction activities to determine the presence of
burrowing owl on site.
AS -2 Should burrowing owl burrows be found, no disturbance shall occur within 160
feet of occupied burrows during the nonbreeding season or within 250 feet during
the breeding season.
AS -3 If any of the preconstruction surveys determine that burrowing owls are present,
one or more of the following mitigation measures shall be required: (1) avoidance
of active nests and the surrounding buffer area during construction activities; (2)
passive relocation of individual burrowing owl; (3) active relocation of individual

burrowing owls; and (4) preservation of onsite habitat with long -term conservation
value for the burrowing owl. The specifics of the required measures shall be
coordinated between the City, Caltrons biologist, and the resource agencies.
AS -4 A qualified bat biologist shall survey the Project study area in June, before
construction, to assess the potential for maternity roosting, since maternity roosts
are generally formed in late spring.
AS -5 To avoid direct mortality to bats roosting in areas subject to impacts from
construction activities between December 1 and October 31, any structure with
potential bat habitat affected by the construction shall have temporary bat
exclusion devices installed under the supervision of a qualified bat biologist
before construction activities begin. Exclusion shall be conducted during the fall
(September or October) to avoid trapping flightless young inside during the
summer months or hibernating individuals during the winter. Such exclusion efforts
shall be continued to keep the structures free of bats until the completion of
construction. Replacement roosting habitat may also be needed to minimize
effects to excluded bats. All bat exclusion techniques shall be coordinated
among the City, Calirans, a qualified bat biologist, and the resource agencies.
AS -6 A qualified bat biologist shall perform an inspection of exclusionary devices
before construction to determine success. Coordination between the City,
Calirans, and the resource agencies shall be conducted by a qualified bat
biologist should any alterations need to be made.
AS -7 All construction work on the 24th Street Bridge over the Kern River shall be limited
to the daytime hours to the maximum extent feasible. If nighttime construction is
necessary for work conducted on the bridge, impacts shall be minimized by
directing lighting and noise away from night roosting areas as much as possible.
AS -8 To prevent project impacts to bridge- and crevice - dwelling birds (e.g., swallows),
all work on existing bridges with potential bird habitat that would be affected by
construction shall include removal of all bird nests before construction under the
guidance and observation of a qualified biologist before February I of that year,
before the bird nesting season. Removal of nests that are under construction must
be repeated as frequently as necessary to prevent nest completion or until nest
exclusionary devices (such as netting or a similar mechanism that keeps birds
from building nests ) are installed. Nest removal and exclusion device installation

made by an engineer in consultation with a qualified bat biologist to ensure that
the habitat is both structurally sound and ecologically feasible for use by bats.
To the extent feasible, newly created expansion joint crevices shall be left
unrubberized so that they are available to bats for day roosting after construction
is complete.
TE -1 Construction activities shall adhere to the standard construction and operational
requirements as described in the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
Standardized Recommendations for Protection of the San Joaquin Kit Fox Prior to
and During Ground Disturbance (USFWS 1999).
TE -2 Approximately 60 days before road construction, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and California Department of Fish and Wildlife-approved biologist shall conduct a
survey for San Joaquin kit fox dens within 200 feet of the construction footprint,
including utility relocations. A letter report and map of known and potential San
Joaquin kit fox dens shall be submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Preactivity clearance surveys for San Joaquin kit fox shall be repeated about 2
weeks before construction or after any delays in construction of over 2 weeks.
Any new San Joaquin kit fox dens identified since completing the 60-day survey
shall be reported to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department
of Fish and Wildlife in a letter report and map. If no new San Joaquin kit fox dens
are identified, an infernal record shall be maintained that includes the survey
date, designated biologist conducting the survey, and general survey findings.
The records shall be submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California
Department of Fish and Wildlife upon request.
TE -3 If dens or potential dens are detected within the project footprint during 60 -day
and /or 2 -week preactivity clearance surveys, agency permission shall be
requested to monitor and excavate dens that would be affected by the project.
The biologist shall monitor potential dens for 3 consecutive nights and submit
monitoring results in a letter report to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and

is to inform construction crew members of permit terms and conditions and the
potential for San Joaquin kit fox to occur at a site and be affected by
construction activities. The training shall be repeated to all new crew members
and annually to all crew members working in San Joaquin kit fox habitat.
Following the training, crew members shall sign an attendance sheet stating that
they attended the training and understand the protection measures and
construction restrictions. Training materials and records of attendees shall be
submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish

to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Wildlife
at their request.
TE -6 Permeable fencing shall be installed along the proposed right -of -way of 24th
Street in all locations where new fencing is required. One or a combination of the
following three design options may be adopted to provide San Joaquin kit fox
With movement opportunities: elevating the bottom of the fence 5 inches above
ground to allow unobstructed movement by San Joaquin kit foxes under the
fence; installing ground -level 8-x- 8-inch -wide gaps no more than 100 feet apart
for the length of the fence, which would allow San Joaquin kit fox movement at
regular intervals along the right -of -way; and installing fencing with a minimum
mesh size of 3.5 x 7 inches, but preferably 5 x 12 inches, which would allow
unlimited movement by San Joaquin kit fox through the fence.
Locations that are currently fenced shall remain fenced or shall have new
fencing installed in relatively the some location and shall not have permeable
design.
TE -7 Curbed medians and median barriers may be used as part of project design. If
curbed medians are required for public safety, the height of curbed medians
shall be no greater than 10 inches. Ten -inch curbed medians shall remain
unvegetated to prevent obstructing the visual field of San Joaquin kit foxes near
the roadway. Curbed medians less than 10 inches in height and requiring
landscaping shall be planted with low -level vegetation (i.e., less than 6 inches) or
be frequently mowed to prevent overgrowth.
If taller median barriers are required in a later planning stage for public safety,

verified and mapped by habitat type within those limits. The map will be
submitted for approval by the U.S. Fish and wildlife Service before submittal to the
City of Bakersfield Planning Department for fee payment.
Upon completion of project construction, all areas subject to temporary ground
disturbance, including storage and staging areas, temporary roads, and pipeline
corridors, shall be recontoured if necessary and revegetated to promote
restoration of the area to preproject conditions. Appropriate methods and plant
species used to revegetate such areas shall be determined on a site - specific
basis in consultation with the U.S. Fish and wildlife Service, the California

Mitigation Measures NC -2, NC -3, NC-4, NC -5, and NC -10 of the Final EIR would reduce
impacts below a level of significance. The measures are as follows:
NC -2 A biologist shall monitor construction within the vicinity of sycamore /woodland
areas within the Kern River riverbed, as needed, for the duration of the project to
flush any wildlife species present before construction and to ensure that
vegetation removal, best management practices, environmentally sensitive area
avoidance, and all other avoidance and minimization measures are properly
observed and implemented.
NC -3 A biologist shall monitor construction within the vicinity of sycamore /woodland
areas within the Kern River riverbed, as needed, for the duration of the project to
flush any wildlife species present before construction and to ensure that
vegetation removal, best management practices, environmentally sensitive area
avoidance, and all other avoidance and minimization measures are properly
observed and implemented.
NC -4 Any native vegetation removal or tree (native or exotic) trimming activities shall
occur outside of the nesting bird season (February 15- August 31). In the event
that vegetation clearing is necessary during the nesting season, a qualified
biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey to identify the locations of nests.
NC -S All equipment maintenance, staging, and dispensing of fuel, oil, or any other such
activities shall occur in developed or designated nonsensitive habitat areas
outside of the Kern River bed. The designated upland areas shall be in such a
manner as to prevent any spill runoff from entering waters of the United States.
NC -10 Following project construction, all disturbed habitat adjacent to the Kern River
shall be restored with native vegetation to the best extent feasible.
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or
wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede
the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
Facts Supporting Finding
Wildlife movement in portions of Carrier Canal within the study area is currently hindered
by the relatively high water level in Carrier Canal and fencing along the canal, both of
which prohibit animal access; therefore, implementation of the Project would not result in
direct permanent impacts to wildlife movement within Carrier Canal. While the Project
would result in direct permanent impacts to the Kern River it would not result in long -term
direct impacts to wildlife movement in the Kern River. However, avoidance and
minimization measures will be implemented as part of the Project.
Mitigation Measures NC -7 and NC -9 of the Final EIR would reduce impacts below a level
of significance. The measures are as follows-
NC-7 During the night, the wildlife corridor shall be kept clear of all equipment that
could potentially serve as barriers to wildlife passage. All equipment storage shall
occur in designated areas outside of the Kern River.

Construction work shall not be conducted at night adjacent to the wildlife
corridor to the extent feasible. However, if work must be done at night, noise and
lighting shall be directed away from the wildlife corridor. All nighttime work
adjacent to the wildlife corridor shall be coordinated with the City and a qualified

CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archeological resource
pursuant to § 15064.5?
Facts Supportina Finding
No archaeological resources were identified within the Area of Potential Effects by the
archival research or the field survey. However, if previously unidentified cultural materials
are unearthed during construction, the work will be halted in that area until a qualified
archaeologist can assess the significance of the find. Additional archaeological survey
would be needed if the Project limits are extended beyond the present survey limits.
Mitigation Measure CR -1 of the Final EIR reduces impacts below a level of significance.
The measure is as follows:
CR -1 If cultural materials are discovered during construction, all earth- moving activity
within and around the immediate discovery area shall be diverted until a
qualified archaeologist or historian can assess the nature and significance of the
find. Further provisions of Public Resources Code 5097.98 are to be followed as
applicable.
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique
geologic feature?
Facts Supporting Finding
Based on the sensitivity of the area for paleontological resources, excavation below a
depth of 5 feet in the latest Pleistocene native sediments within the Project study area
could result in adverse impacts on nonrenewable paleontological resources. Ground
disturbing construction activities such as excavation have the potential to encounter
scientifically significant paleontological resources. This could result in the destruction of
unique and valuable scientific specimens and data.
Mitigation Measure PAL -lof the Final EIR would reduce impacts below a level of
significance. The measure is as follows:
PAL -1 Before completion of final engineering and in accordance with the guidelines in
the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference, a Paleontological Mitigation
Plan shall be prepared by a qualified paleontologist for inclusion in the Plans,
Specifications, and Estimate and implemented during the excavation phase of

the Project. The qualified Principal Paleontologist shall attend pregrading
meetings and consult with grading and excavation contractors. The construction
contractor's employees shall attend paleontological resource awareness training
session(s) if they will be involved in earthmoving project activities. The
Paleontological Mitigation Plan shall generally discuss fossil discovery, recovery,
and subsequent handling. Paleontological monitoring shall be conducted by a
qualified individual.
Based on field reviews and the paleontological literature available, it does not
appear that full -time monitoring would be required at all of the proposed
excavation sites within the Project. It is anticipated that only minor monitoring and
spot checks would be necessary where soil disturbance below a depth of 5 feet
in native sediments would occur. However, the actual extent of monitoring would
be dictated by the design details of the selected alternative and would be
determined during design by a qualified Principal Paleontologist (who holds an
M.S. or Ph.D. in paleontology or geology, and is familiar with paleontological
procedures and techniques). The Principal Paleontologist would review the
construction plans with proposed excavation sites and the Paleontological
Evaluation Report to determine which, if any, project components would involve
earthmoving activities at depths sufficient to warrant development of a
Paleontological Mitigation Plan, consistent with Caltrans' Standard Environmental
Reference. The Principal Paleontologist would review the construction schedule in
order to develop the monitoring schedule and compile accompanying costs. A
nonstandard special provision to address paleontological resources would also
be incorporated into the construction contract to notify the construction
contractor to cooperate with the paleontological monitoring and salvage
activities. Paleontological resources should also be discussed at the pre -bid
meeting.
As noted above in Section VI, although impacts were determined to be less than
significant, Avoidance and Minimization Measure CR -2 of the Final EIR will be
implemented. The measure is as follows:
CR -2 If human remains are discovered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5
states that further disturbances and activities shall cease in any area or nearby
area suspected to overlie remains and the County Coroner contacted. Pursuant
to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, if the remains were thought to be
Native American, the coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage
Commission, which shall then notify the Most Likely Descendant. The City's
Resident Engineer shall contact the City and the District 6 Environmental Branch
Chief and /or Cultural Studies Staff so that they may work with the Most Likely
Descendant on the respectful treatment and disposition of the remains. Further
provisions of Public Resources Code 5097.98 shall be followed as applicable.

HAZ- 10When lead- impacted soils are identified, a Lead Compliance Plan shall be
prepared by the contractor to prevent or minimize worker exposure to lead from
handling material containing aerially- deposited lead (California Code of
Regulations, Title 8, Section 1532.1). This plan shall also be required for work
performed on painted structures. The contractor shall prepare a written, project -
specific Excavation and Transportation Plan establishing procedures the
contractor shall use for excavating, stockpiling, transporting, and placing (or
disposing) of material containing aerially deposited lead. The plan must conform
to Department of Toxic Substance Control and California Occupational Safety

As noted above in Section VI, although impacts were determined to be less than
significant, Avoidance and Minimization Measure WQ -1 through WQ-4 of the Final EIR will
be implemented. The measures are as follows:
WQ -1 The Project shall develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
and Erosion and Sedimentation Plan. The Project shall implement temporary
erosion and sediment control best management practices during construction
and implement the requirements of the statewide General Construction permit.
Temporary best management practices such as desilting basins, erosion control
blankets, and other minimum construction best management practices shall be
implemented consistent with the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and
Erosion and Sedimentation Plan. In addition, the Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan shall contain provisions for changes to the plan such as Alternative
mechanisms, if necessary, during project design and /or construction to achieve
the stated goals and performance standards.
WQ -2 The Project shall develop and implement a Standard Urban Storm Water
Management Plan and Storm Water Data Report. The Project shall be designed
to include treatment control best management practice devices such as
detention devices, vegetated treatment, and other Caltrans- approved devices
per the Storm Wafer Data Report. Treatment control best management practices
shall capture and treat storm water runoff from the Project and treat the
anticipated targeted design constituents (pollutants) to the maximum extent
practicable.
W0-3 Construction of the extended culvert under 24th Street at Carrier Canal shall
require dry conditions to permit construction in the canal. A temporary diversion
conduit shall be built next to Carrier Canal to divert flows during construction of

Facts Supporting Finding
Implementation of the Project would result in potential short-term noise impacts during
construction of the Project. Construction of the Project would comply with local
jurisdiction noise restrictions as well as the Caltrans Standard Specifications Section 14-
8.02 and Caltrans Standard Provisions S5 -310.
Mitigation Measures N0I -1 through N0I -4 of the Final EIR would reduce impacts below a
level of significance. The measures are as follows:
NOI -1 To minimize construction noise impacts on sensitive land uses adjacent to the
project study area, construction noise is regulated by the Caltrans Standard
Specifications in Section 148.02, "Noise Control," and also by Standard Special
Provision 55 -310, "Noise Control." Noise control shall conform to the provisions in
Section 14 -8.02 and Standard Special Provision S5-310.
NOI.2 If nighttime construction is necessary, the noise level from the contractor's
operation, between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. shall not exceed 86 dBA
at a distance of 50 feet.
N0I -3 If nighttime construction is necessary, the contractor shall use an alternative
back -up warning device /method leg., strobe lights, flagmen) for construction
vehicles instead of a sound signal unless required by safety laws.
NOI -4 The contractor shall equip all internal combustion engines with the manufacturer -
recommended muffler and shall not operate any internal combustion engine on
the jobsite without the appropriate muffler.
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or
groundborne noise levels?
Facts Supportina Finding
During certain construction phases, processes such as earth moving with bulldozers, the
use of vibratory compaction rollers, impact pile driving, demolitions, or pavement braking
may cause construction related vibration impacts such as human annoyance or, in some
cases, building damages. There are cases where it may be necessary to use this type of
equipment in close proximity to residential buildings. Appropriate measures have been
included to eliminate or minimize vibration impacts during construction activities.

Restrict the hours of vibration- intensive equipment or activities such as
vibratory rollers so that impacts to residents are minimal (e.g., weekdays
during daytime hours only when as many residents as possible are away from
home;
The owner of a building close enough to a construction vibration source that
damage to that structure due to vibration is possible would be entitled to a
pre - construction building inspection to document the pre - construction
condition of that structure; and
Conduct vibration monitoring during vibrationintensive activities.
NOI.6 Contractor shall have a Noise and Vibration Monitoring and Mitigation Plan
prepared by a qualified Acoustical Engineer and submit it for approval by
Caltrans and the City of Bakersfield prior to construction. The Plan must outline
noise and vibration monitoring procedures at predetermined noise and vibration
sensitive sites as well as historic properties. Plan also must include calculated noise
and vibration levels for various construction phases and mitigation measures that
may need to meet the project specifications. The contractor shall not start any
construction work or operate any noise generating construction equipment at
the construction site before approval of the Plan. Plan must be updated every
three months or sooner if there are any changes to the construction activities.
To be in compliance with the Memorandum of Agreement (see Mitigation CR -3),
the plan shall (1) identify procedures for a preconstrvction survey of buildings to
identify existing cracks and other structural issues; (2) define a pre - construction
analysis of anticipated vibration impacts to determine effect thresholds and
appropriate measures that might be required to minimize vibration risks during
construction; (3) define vibration and analysis methods to be used during
construction and outline specific protective response provisions should adverse
effects to structural and /or material integrity occur during construction.
C) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above
levels existing without the project?
Facts Su000rtina Findina
A permanent increase in ambient noise level would occur as a result of the long -term use
of the Project. A traffic noise impact would occur when the future noise level with the
Project results in a substantial increase in noise level from existing baseline noise levels.
Based on the noise analysis, two receivers would have a substantial increase in noise due
to the widening of 24th Street to the north. The increase in noise levels at these receivers is
considered perceptible to the human ear in an outdoor environment.
Mitigation Measure 110I -7 of the Final EIR would reduce impacts below a level of

As noted above in Section VI, although impacts were determined to be less than
significant, Minimization Measure R -1 of the Final EIR will be implemented. The measure is
as follows:
R -1 Where acquisition and relocation are unavoidable, the provisions of the Uniform
Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the
1987 Amendments, as implemented by the Uniform Relocation Assistance and
Real Property Acquisition Regulations for Federal and Federally Assisted Programs
adopted by the U.S. Department of Transportation )March 2, 1989) shall be
followed. Relocation advisory assistance shall be provided to any person,
business, farm, or nonprofit organization displaced as a result of the acquisition of
real property for public use.
PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project:
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically
altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or
other performance objectives for any of the public services: Parks?
Facts Su000rtina Finding
The Project would result in the permanent use of 0.8 acre of land from the total 26.3 acres
in Beach Park. This represents about 3 percent of the total area of this park. This land
would be permanently incorporated in the public right -of -way to accommodate the
widened 24th and Oak streets. Specifically, the Project would use a narrow step of land
along the north boundary of Beach Park next to the existing right -of -way for 24th Street
and a narrow strip of land along the east boundary of Beach Park next to the existing
right -of -way for Oak Street. The two strips of land would be used for construction of an
embankment next to the improved 24th and Oak streets. This would be a permanent use
of 0.8 acre of land from Beach Park,
The Kern River Parkway Bike Trail would need to be closed temporarily during
construction on the 24th Street bridge.
Mitigation Measures LU -1 and LU -2 of the Final FIR would reduce impacts below a level of
significance. The measures are as follows:
LU -1 When temporary closures of the Kern River Parkway Bike Trail are necessary to
accommodate construction on the 24th Street bridge from under the bridge, trail
users shall be stopped north and south of the closure by flag persons and
directed to a temporary detour route. Trail users shall be provided maps showing
the detour route and shall be provided information on the anticipated length of
time each closure will be in effect. The detour for southbound bicyclists shall
begin at the cul-de -sac at the north end of Oak Street, north of 24th Street, and
then travel southbound, cross 241h Street, and turn west onto 21 st Street. Bicyclists
shall then travel through Beach Park and reconnect with the Kern River Parkway
Bike Trail using the existing paved path from Beach Park. The detour for

VIII. FINDINGS REGARDING INFEASIBILITY OF MITIGATION MEASURES FOR SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
The City of Bakersfield, having reviewed and considered the information contained in the
Final EIR, appendices to the Final EIR and the administrative record, finds, pursuant to
Public Resources Code 21081 (a)(3) and State CEOA Guidelines §15091 (a)(3) that (i),
that specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, make
infeasible the mitigation measures identified in the Hnal EIR and, therefore, the Project will
cause significant unavoidable impacts in the category of Cultural Resources (Historic
Resources).
CULTURAL RESOURCES: Would the project:
a) Implementation of the project would cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of a historical resources as defined in § 15064.5.
Facts Supporting Finding
Based on the analysis contained in the FEIR /EA, the Project may result in significant
unavoidable environmental impacts with respect to historic resources. While a
Memorandum of Agreement (Appendix D of the FEIR /EA) has been developed by Caltrans
in consultation with the California State Historic Preservation Office to avoid, minimize, or
mitigate impacts to the built environment, and includes specific measures to have historic
contributors to two National Register of Historic Places - eligible Historic Districts be offered up
for relocation so as to avoid their destruction, there remains a potential that one or more of
the contributor houses will not be relocated and will be ultimately demolished, as per the
Section 106 Memorandum of Agreement. In addition, the Project involves the demolition of
the property located at 2312 24th Street, which was identified as significant in an historical
resource survey meeting the requirements of Section 15064.5 (a) (2) and is therefore also
subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. The demolition of historic resources
cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level. Therefore, the Project would have a
significant and unavoidable impact on historic resources.
The Memorandum of Agreement was signed by Caltrans and the State Historic Preservation
Officer, as well as the City of Bakersfield, on October 26, 2012. Approved mitigation to avoid
or minimize the effects is described in Mitigation Measures CR 3 and CR -4 below.
CR -3: The City, in consultation with Caltrans Headquarters Cultural Studies Office,
Department District 6, and the State Historic Preservation Officer, so as to
avoid inadvertent damage to historic properties and ensure the protection
of their material and structural integrity, will develop a Noise and Vibration
Monitoring and Mitigation Plan. The plan will (1) identity procedures for a
pre - construction survey of buildings to identify existing cracks and other

structural issues; (2) define a pre-construction analysis of anticipated
Vibration impacts to determine effect thresholds and appropriate measures
that might be required to minimize vibration risks during construction; (3)
define vibration and analysis methods to be used during construction and
outline specific protective response provisions should adverse effects to
structural and /or material integrity occur during construction. The Noise and
Vibration Monitoring and Mitigation Plan shall be prepared prior to the start
of any construction activities that will result in vibration. The Noise and
Vibration Monitoring and Mitigation Plan will be coordinated with the
Catrans' Standard Special Provisions, Caltrans' Environmental
Commitments Record, and as notes to be included in the construction
plans for contractors. The City shall be responsible for repairing any material
or structural damage including cosmetic cracks caused to any historic
property as a result of vibration. Any required repairs to restore a historic
property to its condition prior to the construction work shall be carried out in
accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation
and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. As all historic buildings
(including contributors) within the Undertaking Area of Potential Effects are
privately-owned properties, consent with the owner shall be obtained
before any preconstruction survey, or repair work, if needed, is conducted.
CR -4 Impacts to the built environment related to selection of either alternative,
and assuming the project alternative ultimately selected will have adverse
effects on the following historic property, these measures apply only if in
such cases an adverse effect will occur to the property due to
implementation of the undertaking:
South of 24th Street Historic District
a) Prior to any work that will adversely affect any characteristics that
qualify the South of 24th Street Historic District as a historic property,
Caltrans shall ensure that the recordation measures set forth in
section I.b and Lc below are completed.
b) The City shall take large - format (4" x 5" or larger negative size) black
and white photographs showing elevations of each of the
individual historic district contributors located within the Area of
Potential Effects. Photographs shall be processed for archival
permanence in accordance with the Historic American Building
Survey photographic specifications. Views of the individual
contributors shall include details of unique or character- defining
architectural features and overviews of the property's setting and
vegetation. A minimum of twenty large format photographs that
address various neighborhood street views in the historic district,
both within and outside the Area of Potential Effects, separate from
photographs of the individual contributors, also shall be taken. A
written report of between 50 and 75 pages shall be prepared,
which upon its completion and approval shall be distributed, at a
minimum, to the Regional Information Center at California State

c) For those contributors to the South of 24th Street Historic District
which will be directly impacted by the project, including relocation
or destruction, in addition to the requirements established in I.b of
this mitigation measure, the City shall take large - format
photographs of interior detailing, if possessing integrity and dating
from the period of historic significance, as determined by the
Caltran's principal architectural historian or professionally qualified
staff designee. Calirans will consult with the State Historic
Preservation Officer regarding recordation level and specifications
for completing additional documentation.
d) The City, in concert with Caltrans Headquarters Cultural Studies
Office and District 6, will prepare a marketing plan to offer to the
public the availability and relocation of each of the residential
property contributors in the South of 24th Street Historic District which
will be directly impacted and fully acquired for right -of -way
purposes by the undertaking, if avoidance is not feasible. Notices of
availability will be made through local newspapers and letters to be
sent to local historical museums and heritage organizations. Such
buildings will be available for a minimum of thirty calendar days
and building relocation costs will only be reimbursed for up to the
estimated cost of demolition. The current owner will have the right
of first refusal.
e) If any buildings considered historic contributors will not be relocated
as specified in l.d of this mitigation measure, as appropriate,
decorative, interpretive or character- defining building elements will
be offered by the City to local historical societies /museums, then
offered to architectural recycling companies before demolishing
the building completely.
The City, in consultation with Calrans Headquarters Cultural Studies
Office, District 6, and State Historic Preservation Officer, will develop
an interpretive Project that results in the documentation of the
district's history and meaning to the general public by means of a
pamphlet (not to exceed 24 pages) on the immediate area's
architectural heritage. This pamphlet will highlight the South of 24th
Street Historic District, in the context of the social, economic, and
cultural trends of the late nineteenth to mid - twentieth century, with
an emphasis on the styles reflected in the contributors within the
district. Five hundred copies of the pamphlet will be published.
These professionally researched, written and printed materials will
be offered at no cost through the local museums and heritage
organizations.

including color, texture, plants and vine treatment, shall be
considered by the City, as feasible. If such context sensitive features
are not feasible, documentation to justify the decision shall be
submitted to Cattrans Headquarters Cultural Studies Office, District
6, and the State Historic Preservation Officer.

easement is required to its pre-construction conditions, following the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment for Historic
Properties with Guidelines for Rehabilitation.
2. North of 24th Street Historic District
The project was determined to not adversely affect the historic
district to the north of 24th Street. The recordation measures set
forth in Measure CR -4, sections l.b, l.c, l.f, and l.g will also
include those parcels acquired and affected by the preferred
alternative within the historic district north of 24th Street.
FINDING REGARDING POTENTIALLY FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED BUT ELIMINATED
FROM FURTHER DISCUSSION
The City of Bakersfield, as Lead Agency for the environmental review of the Project,
makes the following findings with regard to potentially feasible alternatives considered
but eliminated from further discussion:
The Recirculated FOR includes an expanded analysis of the potentially feasible
alternatives to the proposed project, using the approach the Court identified for
determining suitable alternatives, and provides additional technical information
about the potential alternatives, together with corresponding figures. This
additional analysis supports the City's determination that each of the eight

eliminated alternatives fails to meet one or more of the four threshold criteria for
selecting alternatives that are cited in the CEG1A Guidelines and, for this reason,
should not be selected for further detailed analysis in the Recirculated FEIR.
FINDING REGARDING ALTERNATIVES
The City of Bakersfield, having reviewed and considered the information contained in the
Final FIR, appendices to the Final EIR and the administrative record, finds, pursuant to
Public Resources Code 21081 (a)(3) and State CEGA Guidelines §15091 (a)(3) that (i) the
Final EIR considers a reasonable range of project alternatives and mitigation measures.
The following three alternatives have been determined to represent a reasonable range
of alternatives which have the potential to feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of
the Project but which may avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant impacts of
the Project:
"No Project" Alternative
Under the No -Build (No Project) Alternative, no improvements would be made to the
existing Oak Street /24th Street intersection and 24th Street other than routine roadway
maintenance such as roadway cleaning, pothole repair, landscape maintenance,
irrigation repair, inspections, etc. The No-Build Alternative is a baseline by which to
measure and compare the proposed improvement (build) alternatives. Traffic modeling
for the No-Build Alternative reflects the current highway network augmented by planned
transportation projects that are reasonably expected to take place in the design year.
The No-Build Alternative would cost nothing at this time, but would have other impacts.
Traffic volumes along State Route 178 and Oak Street would increase as the City
continues to grow. The existing Level of Service at the State Route 178 /Oak Street
intersection would degrade to Level of Service F by 2035. Traffic backups would become
longer, and vehicle delays would increase.
This Alternative is considered environmentally superior to the Build Alternatives
(Alternative) - Widen to the North and Alternative 2 - Widen to the South) because it
would avoid all or most of the Project's short-term, long -term, and cumulative impacts.
However, it would not meet any of the project objectives.
Build AltemaHves (Alternative 1, Widen to the North and Alternative 2, Widen to the South)
Build Alternatives (Alternatives 1 and 2)
The following design features are the same for both Alternatives 1 and 2
1. State Route 99 /State Route 58 /State Route 178 interchange and northbound
State Route 99 auxiliary lane —Widen westbound 24th Street to accommodate an
additional lane and improvements at the State Route 99 southbound ramp and
construction of a northbound auxiliary lane along State Route 99 south of 24th
Street.
2. Oak Street intersection —Make improvements to northbound, southbound,
eastbound, and westbound Oak Street approaches.
3. 24th Street Bridge over the Kem River — Remove the existing raised median and

rebuild a smaller width raised median near the middle of the 24th Street bridge to
accommodate four standard -width lanes in each direction and shoulders.
4. Bus turnouts —Add bus turnouts at Oak Street and Encina /E Street (westbound) /G
Street (eastbound).
S. Reverse curve IS curved —Build a new reverse curve (the street curves from one
direction to the other) that begins along 24th Street near Alder Street (A Street)
and ends along 23rd Street near D Street.
6. Two-way frontage road connecting Elm Street to Beech Street —Build a two -way
frontage road on the north side of 24th Street connecting Elm Street to Beech
Street, providing additional access to Elm Street.
7. 23rd Street /24th Street couplet (from D Street to 0.2 mile east of M Street) —Make
improvements to the 23rd Street /24th Street couplet (a pair of one way streets),
including removing existing on- street parking along 23rd and 24th Streets,
rehabilitating the roadway, and restriping to allow an additional travel lane in
each direction.
8. Close D Street on the north side of 23rd Street (Segment 4)
9. Enhanced landscaping in the median and parkway areas (the area outside of
the shoulder of the roadway) on both the north and south sides of the facility
within Segment 3 from Oak Street on the west to C Street on the east, and along
the south side of 23rd Street between C Street and D Street.
Unique Features of the Build Alternatives
Alternatives I and 2 would include the above design features, but would differ where
24th Street is widened to the north or south. Alternative 1 would widen 24th Street to the
north of its existing alignment, and Alternative 2 would widen 24th Street to the south of
the existing roadway alignment. The two build alternatives are summarized below.
ABemative 1 (Widen to the North)
Alternative I would widen 24th Street to the north and would encompass the State Route
99 interchange and auxiliary lane, the Oak Street /24th Street intersection, the 24th Street
widening to the north, and the 24th Street couplet area. The widening to the north along
24th Street would add two travel lanes (one in each direction). The proposed roadway
alignment would be shifted north of the existing alignment about 17 feet, which would
minimize the right -of -way acquisition on the south side of 24th Street. Eight cul -de -sacs
would be constructed on side streets on the south side of 24m Street. Impacts include full
and partial right -of -way acquisitions and reconstruction of Carrier Canal on the north
and south sides of 24th Street.
Alternative 2 (Widen to the South)
Alternative 2 would include the State Route 99 interchange and auxiliary lane, the Oak
Street /24th Street intersection, the 24th Street widening to the south, and the 23rd Street
and 24th Street couplet area. The widening to the south would add two travel lanes (one
in each direction). The proposed roadway alignment would be shifted south of the
existing alignment about 21 feet, which would minimize the right -of -way acquisition on
the north side of 24th Street, and accommodate residential garage access from the
north properties directly to 24th Street. Impacts include full and partial right -of -way
acquisitions and reconstruction of Carrier Canal on the north and south sides of 24th
Street.

Identification of a Preferred Alternative
The Draft Environmental Impact Report /Environmental Assessment was circulated for
public review between May 23 and July 16, 2012. A public hearing was held at the
Rabobank Convention Center on June 26, 2012 and at the City of Bakersfield Planning
Commission, City Hall South -City Council Chambers on July 5, 2012. All comments from
the public hearings and those received during the public review period were considered
and addressed in the Final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Assessment,
completed in December 2013. The Final Environmental Impact Report portion of the
environmental document was decertified by the Bakersfield City Council in September
2015. The City has prepared the Recirculated Draft EIR focusing on the inclusion of six
additional cul-de -sacs in the proposed project description that had been separately
approved, and to expand the explanations about alternatives that were considered, but
rejected, two areas found to be deficient under CEQA by the Superior Court for the State
of California, County of Kern. The Recirculated Draft EIR was circulated for public review
between January 11 and February 25, 2016. The City of Bakersfield Planning Commission
held a public hearing for the Recirculated Draft EIR at the City of Bakersfield City Hall
South -City Council Chambers on January 21, 2016. The City of Bakersfield Planning
Commission used a formal format for the public hearing. Following a presentation by City
staff, the public and planning commissioners had the opportunity to comment on the
presentation and the project. A court reporter documented the staff presentation and all
public comments.
The Project Development Team has identified Alternative 1 -Widen to the North as its
recommended preferred alternative for the final environmental document, but with
some modifications requested by the public to help beautify the historic neighborhoods.
The City and Coltrans have made this decision based on the ability of this alternative to
meet the defined project objectives, engineering considerations, key project
characteristics, and potential environmental impacts. This alternative has been selected
as the best choice for achieving the project's purpose to address existing traffic
congestion and future travel demand along 24th Street.
"Environmentally Superior" Alternative
The purpose of the Alternatives evaluation is to develop Project Alternatives that have
fewer or no significant impacts compared to the Project. CEQA Section 15126.6(e)(2)
indicates that, if the "No Project" Alternative is the "Environmentally Superior" Alternative,
then the EIR shall also identify an Environmentally Superior Alternative among the other
Alternatives. In this case, the "No Project" Alternative is the environmentally superior
Alternative, as it would not result in environmental impacts associated with construction
and long -term operation.
The "No Project' Alternative would have equivalent or lesser environmental impacts
when compared to the Project in the categories of agricultural resources, geology and
soils, land use and planning, mineral resources, population and housing, utilities and
service systems, biological resources, cultural resources, noise, and recreation and
cumulative impacts. This Alternative does not meet the Project Objectives. Therefore,
this Alternative has been rejected as an environmentally superior alternative.
The "Alternative 2 - Widen to the South" Alternative would have equivalent or lesser

environmental impacts when compared to the Project in the categories of aesthetics,
agricultural resources, air quality, biological resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas
emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and
planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation,
transportation /traffic, utilities and service systems, and cumulative impacts. This
alternative results in a higher number of historic resources to be acquired than the Project
(Alternative 1 - Widen to the North). Therefore, this Alternative has been rejected as an
environmentally superior alternative.
Based on the reasons stated above, Alternative 1 - Widen to the North (Project,
Recommended Preferred Alternative) is the environmentally superior Alternative
because no other Alternative feasibly achieves the objectives of the Project and reduces
the potentially significant impacts to historic resources of the Project.

EXHIBIT 3
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Pursuant to § 15093 of the State CEQA Guidelines, decision - makers are required
to balance the benefits of a project against its unavoidable environmental risks
in determining whether to approve a project. In the event the benefits of a
project outweigh the unavoidable adverse effects, the adverse environmental
effects may be considered "acceptable ". The State CEQA Guidelines require
that, when a public agency allows for the occurrence of significant effects
which are identified in the Final Environmental Impact Report but are not at least
substantially mitigated, the agency shall state in writing the specific reasons the
action was supported. Any statement of overriding considerations should be
included in the record of project approval and should be mentioned in the
Notice of Determination.
To the extent the significant effects of the project are not avoided or
substantially lessened to a level of insignificance, the City of Bakersfield, having
reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final Environmental
Impact Report for the Project, and having reviewed and considered the
information contained in the public record, and having balanced the benefits of
the Project against the unavoidable effects which remain, finds that such
unmitigated effects to be acceptable in consideration of the following
overriding considerations discussion.
The City finds that all feasible mitigation measures have been imposed to lessen
Project impacts to less than significant, and furthermore, that alternatives to the
Project are infeasible because they have greater environmental impacts, do not
provide the benefits of the Project, or are otherwise socially or economically
infeasible as fully described in the Project findings.
Based on the analysis contained in the Final Environmental Impact
Report /Environmental Assessment (FEIR /EA), the Project may result in significant
unavoidable environmental impacts with respect to historic resources. While a
Memorandum of Agreement (Appendix D of the FEIR /EA) has been developed
by Caltrans in consultation with the California State Historic Preservation Office to
avoid, minimize, or mitigate impacts to the built environment, and includes
specific measures to have historic contributors to two National Register of Historic
Places - eligible Historic Districts be offered up for relocation so as to avoid their
destruction, there remains a potential that one or more of the contributor houses
will not be relocated and will be ultimately demolished, as per the Section 106
Memorandum of Agreement. In addition, the Project involves the demolition of
the property located at 2312 24th Street, which was identified as significant in an
historical resource survey meeting the requirements of Section 15064.5 (a) (2) and
is therefore also subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. The
demolition of historic resources cannot be mitigated to a less than significant

level. Therefore, the Project would have a significant and unavoidable impact
on historic resources.
The City of Bakersfield, as Lead Agency and decision -maker for the Project, has
reviewed and considered the information contained in both the Draft and Final
Environmental Impact Reports prepared for the 24th Street Improvement Project
and the public record. The Project benefits include the following:
• Addresses existing traffic congestion and future demand consistent with local
and regional plans.
• Includes aesthetic and landscaping enhancements that compliment and are
compatible with the existing homes and landscaping contained within the
Westchester and Riviera neighborhoods.
• Improves air quality by reducing vehicle emissions due to increased idling
during congested conditions.
• Reduces impacts to historic resources within the Westchester and Riviera
neighborhoods.
• Improves water quality through the implementation of small and large
footprint best management practices (basins).
• Enhances the design and operational safety of the "S" curve (couplet area)
along 24th Street.
• May generate local jobs and economic opportunities during construction.
The Lead Agency makes the following finding, pursuant to §15093 of the State
CEQA Guidelines, with regard to the Statement of Overriding Considerations for
the 24th Street Improvement Project:
California Administrative Code, Title 14, Section 15093(a) states: "If
the benefits of a proposed project outweigh the unavoidable
adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects
may be considered 'acceptable'." Based on the above discussion
and on the evidence presented, the City of Bakersfield therefore
finds that the benefits of the proposed Project outweigh the adverse
impacts on Cultural Resources (Historic Resources) from the 24th
Street Improvement Project, which cannot be eliminated or
reduced to a level less than significant.

1.0 MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
1.1 MITIGATION AND MONITORING PROGRAM CONTENTS
This document is the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) for the 241M1 Street
Improvement Project (SCH No. 2008041070). The MMP includes a brief
discussion of the legal basis for and the purpose of the program, discussion,
and direction regarding complaints about noncompliance, a key to
understanding the monitoring matrix, and the monitoring matrix itself.
1.2 LEGAL BASIS OF AND PURPOSE FOR THE MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM
California Public Resources Code §21081.6 requires public agencies to adopt
mitigation monitoring or reporting programs whenever certifying an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or a Mitigated Negative Declaration. This
requirement facilitates implementation of all mitigation measures adopted
through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process.
The MMP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as
they relate to the EIR /EA (Environmental Assessment) prepared for the 241M1
Street Improvement Project. It is intended to be used by City of Bakersfield
(City) staff, participating agencies, project contractors, and mitigation
monitoring personnel during implementation of the Project.
Mitigation is defined by State CEQA Guidelines §15370 as a measure that
does any of the following:
• Avoids impacts altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an
action.
• Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action
and its implementation.
• Rectifies impacts by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impacted
environment.
• Reduces or eliminates impacts over time by preservation and
maintenance operations during the life of the project.
• Compensates for impacts by replacing or providing substitute
resources or environments.
The intent of the MMP is to ensure the effective implementation and
enforcement of adopted mitigation measures and permit conditions. The
MMP will provide for monitoring of construction activities as necessary, on -site
identification and resolution of environmental problems, and proper reporting
to City staff.

1.3 MITIGATION MONITORING TABLE
The Mitigation Monitoring Table identifies the mitigation measures proposed
for the 241^ Street Improvement Project. These mitigation measures are
reproduced from the EIR /EA and conditions of approval for the Project. The
table has the following columns:
Mitigation Measure /Summary of Measure: Lists the mitigation measures
identified within the EIR /EA for a specific impact, along with the number for
each measure enumerated in the EIR /EA.
Implementation Phase: Identifies at what point in time, review process, or
phase the mitigation measures will be completed.
Monitoring Phase: Identifies at what point in time, review process, or phase
the mitigation measures will be monitored.
Enforcing Agency: References the City department or any other public
agency with which coordination is required to satisfy the identified mitigation
measure.
Verification of Compliance: Spaces to be initialed and dated by the
individual designated to verify adherence to a specific mitigation measure.
1.4 NONCOMPLIANCE COMPLAINTS
Any person or agency may file a complaint asserting noncompliance with
the mitigation measures associated with the Project. The complaint shall be
directed to the City in written form, providing specific information on the
asserted violation. The City shall conduct an investigation to determine the
validity of the complaint. If noncompliance with a mitigation measure has
occurred, the City shall take appropriate action to remedy any violation. The
complainant shall receive written confirmation indicating the results of the
investigation or the final action corresponding to the particular
noncompliance issue.
