REPORTS
Agency Member Rubin, Chairperson of the Housing,
Relocation, and Communications Committee, read Report No. 89-5
regarding the trip to Porterville for Multi-Family Housing
Investigation as follows:
On May 10, 1989, the Housing, Relocation and
Communications Committee and staff traveled
to Porterville, California, to examine three
multi-family housing projects in order to
determine if there was any application in
these projects to potential hotel rehab-
ilitation in downtown Bakersfield.
Bakersfield, California, June 5, 1989 Page 2
Specifically, the Committee was desirous to
learn more about two downtown hotel projects
presently under the administration of the
City of Porterville's Planning Department in
addition to a senior citizen apartment complex
completed in 1983.
The Committee first toured the Porterville Hotel
and learned about the City of Porterville's
participation in the project (CDBG funds for
acquisition, furnishings and relocation), and
the State of California's role in the Special
User Rehab Loan Program. The developer
associated with this project is Daniels C.
Logue Co. of Sacramento, California.
The Glenwood Hotel was the second project toured
by the Committee. This project was started by
a private development company but not finished
due to financing problems. The developer of
the Porterville Hotel will also be completing
this project.
During the afternoon, the Housing Authority of
the County of Tulare took the Committee through
the Santa Fe Plaza 134 unit senior citizen
housing complex. This project is adjacent to
the downtown area and includes a senior citizen
activity center (the restored former Santa Fe
Railroad Station).
In conclusion, the Committee was greatly
impressed with the Porterville projects and
intends to invite representatives of the Daniels
C. Logue Development and Construction Company to
Bakersfield to evaluate potential projects in
our downtown area. In this regard, the Committee
will report back to the Agency with a future
report on these discussions.
Agency Member Rubin amended the report to include the
following:
"in addition to inviting the representatives of
the Daniels C. Louge Development and Construction
Company, but also those other developers in the
Kern County area who might have expertise in
hotel reconstruction to offer their thoughts to
the committee."
Agency Member Araujo stated her opposition to inviting
outsiders to Bakersfield because there has been many interested
realtors trying to market downtown. She feels it would be a
courtesy to Bakersfield realtors to defer the adoption of a
resolution.
Upon a motion by Agency Member Rubin, Housing,
Relocation, and Communications Committee Report No. 89-5 was
accepted and the recommendations were implemented.
Agency Member Kronenberg,
Review Committee, read Report No.

reviewed an application submitted by Jeanette
H.C. Eng for site plan, architecture, land-
scaping, and materials and colors for a

ments outlined in Site Plan Review #20-89 have

Upon a motion by Agency Member Kronenberg, Design Review
Committee Report No. 89-19 was accepted and the recommendations
were implemented.
Agency Member Kronenberg, Chairperson of the Design
Review Committee, read Report No. 89-20 regarding an application
submitted by Banducci Enterprises for site plan, architecture,
landscaping, materials and colors for a structure to be located
at 18th and "K" Streets as follows:
The Design Review Committee on May 18, 1989
reviewed an application submitted by Banducci
Enterprises for site plan, architecture,
landscaping, and materials and colors for a
structure to be located at 18th and "K"
Streets.
The Committee reviewed plans for a one-story
office/retail structure (2,763 sq. ft.) with a
1,000 sq. ft. basement. The structure is
located on the south portion of the lot and
fronts on 18th Street. The off-street parking
will consist of surface parking located north
of the proposed building. The Committee
approved Site Plan Review No. 23-89-b with the
exception of four modifications.
The Committee is eliminating subsection
3 in the "D" Conditions which states
that the structure shall be developed
with not less than 70 percent of their
ground level elevations open and trans-
parent with nonreflected glazing.
Subsection 5 states that the developer
should provide five bicycle parking spaces.
The Committee recommends that the developer
provide a facility for bicycle parking
(this puts no restriction on the amount of
spaces needed).
The street trees shown on the site plan at
the edge of the parking lot should be moved
to the sidewalk area on "K" Street and 18th
Street. They should be of 36" box size and
placed at 30 foot intervals.
The screening of the parking area needs to
be in compliance with the parking lot section
of the zoning ordinance.
The Committee will review the signage and final
landscaping for this building at a later date.
The Committee recommends that the Agency also
approve this application.
Upon a motion by Agency Member Kronenberg, Design Review
Committee Report No. 89-20 was accepted and the recommendations
were implemented.
