The park sites shall be improved to neighborhood park standards by the developer within one year of the time that 25 per cent of the residential acreage within both Sections 6 and 7 (northerly and southerly of Ming Avenue) is recorded as final subdivision maps. Improvements shall be in conformance with those stipulated for neighborhood parks in the Parks Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan. Public Works Del~artment: The drainage study previously approved by the City Engineer that includes the GPA areas shall be revised and reapproved by the City Engineer to reflect the changes in run-off resulting from the changes in land use. The original local traffic mitigation for Section 6 which resulted from GPA 2-88, Segment V and - which was modified by GPA 2-92, Segment III, shall remain in effect for the GPA areas. As the traffic generation from this General Plan Amendment actually results in less traffic than what is currently approved, a reduction in the percentage shares for specific traffic signals not yet paid for through the existing local traffic mitigation may be allowed provided calculations are submitted to and approved by the City Engineer. As the proposed northerly R-2 area appears to be accessed only through the R-1 area, and as the applicant is also currently proposing the elimination of a nearby collector street with Segment VI of this GPA cycle, a master circulation plan shall be submitted to and approved by the City Engineer prior to submittal of any tentative maps or development plans within the area bounded by Old River Road, Ming Avenue, Buena Vista Road, and the Kern River Canal. As Public Works conditions for Segment VI require a local collector street circulation system which shah provide substantially equivalent circulation as the existing collector street, the proposed school site and northerly park site may need to be partially reconfigured to allow for this circulation system. A knuckle at the northerly end of Grand Lakes Avenue will not be allowed. Any accesses proposed to the LMR (R-2) area from Stockdale Highway or Old River Road shall be constructed with right-turn deceleration lanes. p:295s5.ea GPA 2-95, SEGMENT V AMENDED STAFF RECOMMENDATION .~ oc : / I , LR/PS TO LR HE P PS OC ~-LR TO LR/P$ TO LR/P$ LR OC ~ OC 12 TIOS, R26E R-IA Ig 1 6 T30S, Rt7E \\ HR i OS-P \ LR · LR / OS-P / / / ~ iLR , LR EXHI)rr B
