4. NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion Regarding Sidewalk Standards – Tandy/Fidler
Public Works Director Fidler provided a brief summary of the existing arterial street
sidewalk standards and reviewed the revisions to the standard provided in the
memorandum of the agenda packet. Revisions to the standard would increase the
sidewalk width from six feet to eight feet while continuing to allow for landscaping and
meandering walk paths. He provided visual concepts by means of a PowerPoint
presentation.
Committee Chair Freeman and Committee member Smith concurred with the proposed
changes. Committee member Smith made a motion to present the revisions to the full
City Council. The motion was unanimously approved.
B. Discussion Regarding Permit Streamlining – Tandy/Kitchen
Committee Chair Freeman stated the purpose of the discussion was to explore areas of
the permitting process that can be streamlined to be developer friendly.
In response to Councilmember Freeman’s January 9, 2019 referral, Development
Services Director Kitchen provided a PowerPoint presentation summarizing the current
permitting process, mechanisms used by other cities, and potential mechanisms the city
can use. Many cities are using software programs to process permits. The software
enables multiple users from various departments to review permit submittals
simultaneously. It allows for applicants to track and monitor the status of their permit
during the review process as well.
City Manager Tandy stated staff has been reviewing the software program option for
some time but has been unable to implement such a program due to budgetary
constraints. This is no longer the case due to the passage of the Public Safety and Vital
Services measure. The purchase of a software program will be included in the next
budget cycle for funding.
Tom Uce, RGF Properties, stated he would like to see a streamline process establish to
provide better timelines and guidelines for developers from the beginning of the
permitting process through the end, in particular the final phases of the process.
Russell Johnson, Common Sense Consulting, stated the proposed software program may
improve the permitting process and should include a component which identifies the
permit lifecycle and provides alerts to management when an issue arising so it may be
addresses as soon as possible.
Phil Gaskill, Gaskill Rose Family Homes, stated the City’s Building Division is one of the
most accommodating he has every worked with and that improvements need to be
made to communicating with developers regarding timeframes. He would like to see
the City transition into an online-electronic based permitting process.

Committee member Rivera requested staff implement into the current process a
notification component to inform applicants of receipt of their application and include
timeframes to complete the review process.
Trent Miller, Ruetggers & Schuer, stated a flowchart identifying the person assigned to
process the application and coordinate with the various departments for processing
would assist developers with a point of contact for notifications and communications.
Ryan Freeborn, Landscape Development, stated he has worked with other
municipalities who have an electronic software program and the permitting process is
very efficient. He provided staff names of different software programs he has used.
Committee Chair Freeman requested staff conduct further research and meet with
developers to identify additional areas of the permitting process that can be improved.
Staff to present the information to the Committee at a future meeting.

SUBJECT: General Plan Update Strategy & Options Request for Proposal
This item is an update on an ongoing topic before the Planning and Development Committee.
Background
On May 10, 2019, the Development Services Department sent out a Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified
consultants to prepare a General Plan Update Strategy & Options document. The document is to provide a
comprehensive analysis and recommendations for: 1) at least three (3) options to approach the upcoming update
to the City’s General Plan and 2) anticipated schedule and cost for each option.
Update Options (to be included in proposal):
1. Focused Update. All legally required updates to specific Elements within the MBGP and addition of any
newly mandated Elements; No parcel-specific updates to existing land use designations.
2. Policy Update. “Focused” option content plus specific, locally important policy driven updates within
some or all Elements of the MBGP; Limited parcel-specific updates to existing land use designations.
3. “Other” Update. Optional third option, parameters to be designed by responder incorporating all new
State laws and guidance regarding General Plan updates.
Project Objectives (to be evaluated within each Option):
a. Within each Element, identify the various options and methodology for existing goals, policies, and
implementation measures to be revised and the type of goals, policies and implementation that should
be added or removed; these policies should be coordinated with the mitigation in the MBGP EIR, to
facilitate future streamlining via CEQA Section 15183.
b. Identify new Elements that could be added and general framework for possible content;
c. Identify specific areas/Elements that will require continued coordination with Kern County;
City of Bakersfield ● 1715 Chester Avenue ● Bakersfield, California ● 93301
d. Define the strategy for updating the existing land use map designations throughout the General Plan area

e. Identify options for the future General Plan boundary and Sphere of Influence (SOI)
f. Identify other possible General Plan implementation tools and methodology.
The deadline for proposal submittal in response to the RFP is before 5:00 pm on July 12, 2019. The following table

SUBJECT: Referral No. 770 (Ward 2) Definition of Microbrewery in Downtown Bakersfield
This item is in response to a referral made by Councilmember Gonzales at the April 10, 2019 Council meeting.
Background
At the June 7, 2017 City Council meeting, Councilmember Gonzales made a referral to the Planning and
Development Committee to review creation of a definition of a “microbrewery” in Downtown Bakersfield.
On October 3, 2017 and November 7, 2017, Staff presented this Committee with several possible ordinance
amendments to permit micro-breweries and micro-distilleries with special consideration given to: (a) odors; (b)
wastewater discharge; (c) annual production limits; and (d) California Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC)
licensing and permitting.
On January 10, 2018, City Council adopted ordinances adding new definitions for “Brewery or Distillery, Large”
and “Brewery or Distillery, Small” and identifying these as permitted and conditionally permitted uses within
the industrial and commercial zone districts, as follows:
Brewery or Distillery,
Small 1
Brewery or Distillery,
Large 1
Section Zone Permitted Use CUP Permitted Use CUP
17.24.020.B C-2 (Regional Commercial) X
n/a 2 C-B (Central Business) X
n/a 2 C-C (Commercial Center) X
17.28.020.B M-1 (Light Manufacturing) X X
17.30.020.B M-2 (General Manufacturing) X X
1. This definition is not inclusive of Wineries, which are only permitted via CUP only in M-2 zone.
2. All “Permitted Uses” in the C-2 are also permitted in the C-B and C-C zones.
At the April 10, 2019 Council meeting, Councilmember Gonzales made a new referral to explore options to
remove the requirement that small breweries and distilleries continuously operate with bona-fide food service.
Page 2
Staff Analysis
Based on Council direction, Staff has drafted language to amend the definition of a “micro” breweries and
distilleries to remove the food component.
The specific change to Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 17.04.078 would be as follows:
“Brewery or distillery, small” means the manufacturing of fifteen thousand barrels, or less, per year of
beer, ale, malt beverages, or one hundred thousand gallons, or less, of distilled spirits; not including
wine. Operations shall continuously comply with the following operational standards:
1. Maintain an approved Wastewater Discharge Plan from the Bakersfield public works department.
2. Maintain a valid California Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) license.
3. Obtain appropriate permit from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, if applicable;
and adhere to industry best practices for odor reduction.
4. Include and continuously operate a bona-fide food service/restaurant component, on-site.
To ensure the change will not conflict with the various ABC license types related to breweries and distilleries,
Staff is working with the local ABC district office. As of this writing, Staff is waiting on ABC to provide their
findings based on the proposed amendment.
Recommendation: Given that Staff has not yet heard back from the ABC, your Committee has several options:
1) Direct Staff to bring back to Planning & Development Committee for additional discussion.
2) Direct Staff to Draft Ordinance changes noted above and bring to City Council if the changes do not
conflict with ABC rules.

FROM: JACQUELYN KITCHEN, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: Tentative Tract Maps: Extension of Time for Vesting Rights
This item is in response to a request made by Councilman Rivera at a Planning and Development Committee
meeting on February 26, 2019. Councilman Rivera asked staff to look into extending the time to use vesting rights
from 1 year to 2 years on a recorded map.
Background
Vesting rights are established by the State Subdivision Map Act and implemented by local Ordinance. Government
Code Section 66498.5 addresses timing by stating that rights conferred by a vested map shall last a minimum of
one from the date of recordation, and no more than two years if allowed by local ordinance.
The City’s local Ordinance currently allows one year to exercise vested rights upon recordation of a vested map.
In the past, the City offered a discretionary process where developers could request one additional year on a case
by case basis, for a total of two years. However, in June 2005, Council adopted Resolution 118-05, which removed
this option to request an additional year. During the Recession in 2011, Council adopted Resolution 036-11, which
temporarily suspended this restriction for one year. During that time, 2 applications for extensions were received
and they were approved by the Planning Commission. In January 2012, Council suspended the restriction for one
additional year; however, no applications were submitted.
Staff Analysis
Based on Council direction, Staff has drafted language to amend Resolution No. 118-15 to allow for the second
year. This could be achieved in one of two ways:
• Option 1: Restore past process to allow developers opportunity to apply for one additional year, with
Planning Commission approval (BMC 16.24.090 C.3).
• Option 2: Amend BMC 16.24.090 C.3 to allow second year automatically.
Recommendation
Option 1 allows for case-by-case review of each request and is consistent with past practices. Therefore, Staff
recommends option 1.

BACKGROUND
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66498.5. (SUBDIVISION MAP ACT (SMA))
b) The rights conferred by a vesting tentative map as provided by this chapter shall last for an
initial time period, as provided by ordinance, but shall not be less than one year or more than two
years beyond the recording of the final map. Where several final maps are recorded on various
phases of a project covered by a single vesting tentative map, the one-year initial time period shall
begin for each phase when the final map for that phase is recorded.
c) The initial time period shall be automatically extended by any time used by the local agency for
processing a complete application for a grading permit or for design or architectural review, if the
time used by the local agency to process the application exceeds 30 days from the date that a
complete application is filed. At any time prior to the expiration of the initial time period provided
by this section, the subdivider may apply for a one-year extension. If the extension is denied by an
advisory agency, the subdivider may appeal that denial to the legislative body within 15 days.
Summary of Government Code:
