DEFERRED BUSINESS A, Committee Review and Recommendation on Ordinance to Amend Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 8.80 re: Abatement of Public Nuisances - G. Gennaro/A Zambrano City Attorney Gennaro made opening remarks and introduced Deputy City Attorney Zambrano who provided a PowerPoint presentation and staff comments recapping Committee discussion during the September 28, 2022, meeting. Draft Ordinances were also submitted for Committee consideration. Deputy City Attorney Zambrano explained that the proposed new language to expand summary abatement authority, proposed new language to address property maintenance of vacant buildings, and direction to staff to incorporate proposed amendments into larger nuisance abatement Code clean-ups are all reflected in the proposed draft ordinances that should streamline the process and make it more easily understood. She briefed the Committee on the current non -summary abatement process for trash and debris and clarified that the recommended changes to the code would not substantially change the process, only consolidate some sections and duplicative language to streamline and make sure it is reflective of how an actual code enforcement case works and is easily understood by the public. She further described the summary abatement process where the city moves more quickly because the situations are more egregious as they pose an imminent risk to public health and safety. The Committee discussed at length the four separate categories of summary abatement that will allow the city to move forward more quickly. They further discussed the foreclosure process to address the chronic nuisance properties and explored instances where the city would not record a notice of substandard property. Deputy City Attorney Zambrano continued to explain the proposed new chapter that deals with the assessment process and the property maintenance for vacant buildings that will create a new section within the municipal code that deals with defining the conditions that constitute a public nuisance, specifically in the case of a fire damage building, the property owner shall within 90 days of the occurrence submit an application for a fire rehabilitation permit, or obtain a permit for the demolition which, if a property owner did not comply with, would allow the city to move forward with the summary abatement process. Motion by Committee Member Smith directing staff to present ordinances for first reading at the November 16, 2022 meeting. Motion was unanimously approved.

The last report to the Planning and Development Committee occurred on August 30, 2022. EXISTING GENERAL PLAN In accordance with California Government Code Section 65300, the City and the County of Kern jointly adopted the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan ("MBGP") and certified the associated programmatic Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") in 2002 to plan for the long-term future development of the Metropolitan Bakersfield area. The 2002 MBGP included an update to the text of the previous 1990 General Plan and made minor revisions to the land -use map designations that had originally been prepared in the late 1980's. Staff prepared text changes "in-house" and a consultant assisted in preparation of the EIR. The MBGP contains seven elements as were required by state law, including Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, and Safety. Two additional optional elements, a Public Services and Facilities Element and Parks Element, reflect the specific needs and objectives of the City. The MBGP also includes a reservation for the "Kern River Plan Element" which was jointly adopted by the City and County in 1985. The Kern River Plan Element was subsequently adopted in 2007 with separate supporting environmental documentation. GENERAL PLAN AND HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE History In January 2020, the City Council approved a contract with Rincon Consultant Inc. ("Rincon") for $49,764.00 to prepare a General Plan Update Strategy and Options Report, which was presented to the Planning and Development Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council during the summer of 2020. The City Council directed staff to prepare a comprehensive General Plan update. A programmatic EIR will accompany the comprehensive update. Development Services Department 1k 1715 Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93301 Planning: 661-326-3733 Building: 661-326-3720 Id FAX Planning: 661-852-2136 Building: 661-325-0266 On October 21, 2021, the Council approved an Independent Contractor's Agreement with Rincon Consultants, Inc. ($2,766,189) for the preparation of a General Plan update, associated zone mapping, and associated environmental document; and an Agreement with Rincon Consultants, Inc. ($298,541) for the preparation of a Housing Element update and associated environmental document. The kick-off meeting occurred on 11/30/21. The Last Year The past year could be described as one of public outreach and informational reseach. Three introductory workshops and four visioning workshops (both in -person and virtual) were completed. Multiple pop-up events have been held. The City Council received the first scheduled General Plan Study Session on April 6, 2022. The second General Plan Study Session will be presented to the City Council on March 22, 2023. A series of stakeholder interviews were also completed in late 2022. The Key Issues workshop series is being formulated at this time and will be scheduled for late Spring and early Summer of this year. The Bakersfield 2045 RISE website (www.bakersfield2045.com) has been populated, launched and promoted as a go -to resource for all things General Plan and Housing Element related. Through the website, the community survey was completed as well as a "Think Big" visioning survey that ultimately reached approximately one in every 500 Bakersfield residents. The Existing Conditions Background Report and associated Story Book have been completed and are available on the RISE website for review and comment. From all of the research and community outreach, a Vision Statement will be released the week of this report. The Housing Element efforts have been focused on the finalization of a vacant sites inventory in compliance with the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) assigned to the City. Staff is also reviewing the various chapters of the draft document, in advance of a planned public draft release in April. A City -sponsored zone change effort will be necessary to meet the RHNA requirements. Approximately 750 parcels of land must be rezoned to bring about an HCD-compliant vacant sites inventory. A residential zoning ordinance amendment is ongoing via City Council referral. The amendment will provide compliance with newly passed State housing laws, allowing for certification of the Housing Element update by the State Department of Housing and Community Development later this year. The $291,000 cost of this effort is funded through the REAP Regional Early Action Planning grant. The City remains generally on schedule with the project timeline for both the General Plan update and 6`h Cycle Housing Element, with completion of the General Plan in April of 2025 and adoption of the Housing Element in January of 2024. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that your Committee digest the information within this report and any testimony associated with the Committee meeting itself and receive and file this informational report. CEQA analysis will not be completed as part of this report as there is no project associated with the preparation of this report per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
