WHEREAS, such proposed Calloway Specific Plan Line is as follows:
The City of Bakersfield is proposing to construct an
extension of Calloway Drive between Brimhall Road and
Stockdale Highway, across the Cross Valley Canal and the
Kern River. The project includes realignment of the existing
Calloway Road 1,750 feet to the west, off the section line.
Construction of the project will include the initial
development of a four-lane arterial road, one, 10-foot high
bridge over the Kern River, one, 18-foot high bridge over the
Cross Valley Canal, and 7,000 linear feet of roadway. The
maximum road construction area is estimated at 38.6 acres
(240-foot wide construction corridor that includes 65-foot
wide maximum disturbance zones along both sides of the
right-of-way). The 110-foot right-of-way would allow future
construction to a full six lanes. Construction of the road and
bridges are expected in 1994-95, with construction of the
Kern River Freeway and Calloway Interchange by the year
2002. Total project cost is estimated as $7.5 million;
and
WHEREAS, for the above-described project, an Initial Study was
conducted, and it was determined that the proposed project would not have a significant
effect on the environment, and a mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared, and
posted on August 28, 1992, in accordance with CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the law and regulations relating to the preparation and
adoption of Negative Declarations as set forth in CEQA and City of Bakersfield's
CEQA Implementation Procedures have been duly followed by city staff and the
Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 56-92 on October 15, 1992, the Planning
Commission recommended approval and adoption of Calloway Specific Plan Line,
subject to conditions and mitigation listed in Exhibit "A", and this Council has fully
considered the findings made by the Planning Commission as set forth in that
Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Bakersfield, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 65355 of the Government Code, conducted and held a public
hearing on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1993, on the above described Calloway Specific
Plan Line, notice of time and place of the hearing having been given at least ten (10)
calendar days before the hearing by publication in the Bakersfield Californian, a local
newspaper of general circulation; and

Exhibit A
Recommended Mitigation Measures and
Condition of Approval
Condition:
1. When Draft Concept Plans are developed for the road, Public Works will call a
meeting between the Planning Commission Trails Committee and Kern River Parkway
Committee to review design plans and report back to full Commission.
The following mitigation measures are recommended to offset potential impacts of the
project on threatened and endangered species:
2. Prior to commencement of any grading or construction at the project site, the City of
Bakersfield shall pay the required Mitigation Fee for each gross acre within the
secondary floodway to be impacted by the Calloway Drive Extension project. This fee is
calculated (under the current $680/acre fee) as $1,775, based on the 2.61 acres within the
secondary floodway. The fee shall be held in trust for payment of HCP development
costs and habitat mitigation as identified in the MBHCP.
3. Prior to any disturbance within the primary floodplain area, the City of Bakersfield
will enter into formal consultation with the USFWS and CDFG for the purpose of
determining acceptable levels of mitigation and, if required, compensation. Consultation
may result in the requirement for either separate FESA Section 10(a) and CDFG
Section 2081 agreements. Consultation with the CDFG will determine levels of
mitigation and, if required, compensation for take of state-listed animal species in the
primary floodplain, and take of state-listed species outside of the primary floodplain if
those species are not covered by the MBHCP.
4. Within 60 days prior to initiation of field work or as directed by USFWS or CDFG,
the City of Bakersfield shall hire a qualified biologist acceptable to both CDFG and
USFWS to conduct pre-activity surveys to re-inventory the lands that will be subject to
modification for the occurrence of threatened and endangered species. The inventory
shall be conducted by a qualified biologist with prior inventory experience for the San
Joaquin kit fox. This is necessary to implement protection measures described below.
5. Fenced exclusion zones shall be established by a qualified biologist around all kit fox
dens that can be avoided but may be inadvertently impacted by project activities.
Exclusion zone fencing shall consist of either large flagged stakes connected by rope or
cord, or survey laths or wooden stakes prominently flagged with smvey ribbon. Each
ORIGINAL
exclusion zone shall be roughly circular in configuration with a radius of the following
distance measured outward from the den or burrow entrances:
potential kit fox den: 50 feet
known kit fox den: 100 feet
kit fox pupping den: 150 feet
6. All San Joaquin kit fox dens previously determined to be known dens, as well as, any
other known dens identified within the project impact area shall be monitored to
determine the current status. The activity status will be determined by monitoring the
den entrance utilizing a tracking medium (sifted flour or equivalent) for three nights. ff
monitoring reveals current den utilization by kit fox, the den entrance will be monitored
for at least five consecutive days from the time of observation. During this time, use of
the den will be discouraged by partially plugging the entrance with soil in a manner that
will allow animals to escape. Following the blocking effort, the unoccupied den will be
excavated as described below.
7. Any known and potential kit fox dens located within the specified disturbance zone
which shall be unavoidably destroyed by the proposed project shall be excavated
pursuant to conditions described below to the onset of ground disturbing activities.
Excavation of kit fox dens shall not proceed without authorization from USFWS and
CDFG.
a. Destruction of a potential kit fox den may proceed without prior notification of
the USFWS of no current or previous use of the den by kit foxes is known, as
determined by a qualified biologist. However, ff any den thought to be a potential den is
determined during excavation to be a currently or previously used kit fox den (e.g. if kit
fox sign is found inside), the USFWS will be notified immediately of the change in
status.
b. In the event that the USFWS and CDFG concur that a San Joaquin kit fox den
will be unavoidably destroyed by planned project actions, the following procedures shall
be implemented:
1. Prior to the commencement of construction activities, the subject den shah be
carefully excavated using hand tools either by a qualified biologist or under the direct
supervision of a biologist to ensure that no animals are trapped or injured. Any kit foxes
in residence shall be allowed to escape unimpeded.
2. The den shall be completely excavated and then refilled and compacted to
prevent future use of the site by resident animals.
3. Documentation of the den loss shall be conveyed in writing to the USFWS,
Sacramento Field Office, and to the CDFG Fresno and Sacramento Field Offices.
2
8. To protect female kit foxes and their pups during the breeding season, no
development activities likely to result in incidental take of kit foxes and no excavation of
kit fox dens shall be permitted on the site between January ! to April 30, if biological
surveys conforming to USFWS minimum survey recommendations demonstrate the
presence of kit foxes on the project site. Minimum survey recommendations for the
period from January 1 to April 30, and for one calendar week preceding January 1, shall
consist of seven consecutive nights of negative survey results where methods including
spotlighting, scent stations, and placing of tracking medium at all known and potential
kit fox dens on the subject property. This shall be enforced unless:
a. Subsequent surveys demonstrate that kit foxes have vacated the property on
their own without any deliberate human disturbance within 100 feet of or directly to kit
fox dens.
b. Circular exclusion zones of 100 feet in radius are staked and flagged around
all known and potential kit fox dens on the project area. Development could then
proceed on the balance of the project area that is outside these exclusion zones.
c. Survey information collected by a qualified wildlife biologist indicates that
incidental take of kit foxes resulting from den excavations should not occur, provided
that such information is presented in writing to the Service's Sacramento Field Office
and the Service concurs in writing. Results of survey information referenced in this
section should also be presented in writing to the Depai'tment of Fish and Game,
Region 4, Environmental Services Supervisor, and CDFG concurrence required.
9. Project (disturbance) area boundaries shah be clearly delineated by fencing, stakes,
flagging, and/or rope or cord to minimize inadvertent degradation or loss of adjacent
wildlife habitats during project activities.
10. All construction, spill, spoil and equipment storage sites, and parking and staging
areas shall be confined to the 240-foot Disturbance Area on-site.
11. Prior to project commencement, all personnel should attend a worker education
program. Specifics of this program should include the listed species present on site, their
life histories, and measures implemented to reduce sensitive biological and other
environmental impacts. This educational program should be presented through a video
tape or other documented medium with worker sign-in for monitoring purposes. This
program shall be included in the construction contract to perform any job related to the
actual construction of Calloway Road. The Educational Program shall include education
of the following work-site restrictions:
a. All project-related vehicle traffic will be restricted to project area; off-project
area traffic will be prohibited. Project-related traffic shall adhere to a speed limit of 20
mph on project site roads with the exception of county and state highways.
3
ORIGINAL
b. To reduce noise impacts on wildlife and surrounding sensitive land uses, all
construction activities shall be limited to weekday, daylight hours unless otherwise
permitted at the discretion of the Director of Public Works.
c. To reduce the amount of wind erosion and dust particles emitted from the
project, dust attenuation practices shall be used, including minimizing the time surfaces
are left exposed, periodic sprinkling of exposed areas and soil piles with water, and
covering soil piles with plastic sheets or tarpaulins to limit disturbance.
d. All food-related items such as wrappers, cans, bottles, and food scraps
generated during the project shah be disposed of in closed containers only and regularly
removed from the site. Food items may attract kit foxes onto a project site, consequently
exposing such animals to increased risk of injury or mortality. No deliberate feeding of
wildlife shall be allowed.
e. To prevent harassment, mortality, or destruction of kit fox dens, by domestic
dogs and cats, no pets shall be permitted on-site during project activities.
f. Standard use of rodenticide and herbicides on the site is permitted for health
and safety reasons, but only within the specified project site, and only as part of a
USFWS-approved management plan.
g. Any contractor or employee that inadvertently kills or injures a threatened or
endangered species or who finds any such animal either dead, injured, or entrapped shall
be required to report the incident immediately to the USFWS and CDFG. In addition,
formal notification shall be provided in writing within three working days of the finding
of any such animal(s). Notification shall include the date, time, location, and
circumstances of the incident. USFWS and CDFG contacts for this information shall be
designated prior to project commencement. Any threatened or endangered species found
dead or injured shall be turned over immediately to the CDFG for care, analysis or
disposition. In the case of entrapped animals, escape ramps or structures shall be
installed immediately if possible to allow the subject animal(s) to escape unimpeded.
12. To discourage kit fox from crossing the Calloway Drive extension and direct
movements of kit foxes through the Kern River corridor, the City of Bakersfield shall
install chain-link fencing with concrete curbs, at the bottom edge of the slope easement,
along both sides of the roadway from south of the Cross Valley Canal bridge to the
bicycle path. This chain-link fencing is not required on the Kern River or Canal bridges.
Fencing shall have a concrete curb and shall be a minimum of 4 feet in height.
13. Prior to the commencement of project construction, a small mammal trapping
program shall be conducted to identify the species of kangaroo rat currently inhabiting
the project site. Specific trapping requirements and methodologies shall be determined
by the USFWS and CDFG. Persons conducting Tipton kangaroo rat live-trapping will
ORIGINAL
obtain the appropriate State and Federal permits prior to onset of this action. If Tipton
kangaroo rats are found to occur at the project site, the City of Bakersfield shall consult
with the USFWS and CDFG to determine appropriate measures to avoid "take" of the
species. This measure will not be required if the 2081 Permit or MBHCP assumes
presence of Tipton kangaroo rat, and provides suitable mitigation and compensation.
14. Prior to the commencement of project construction, blunt-nosed leopard lizard
surveys should be conducted to determine species presence on the project site. The
CDFG recommended guidelines for surveying this species shall be followed. If blunt-
nose leopard lizards are found to inhabit the site, the City of Bakersfield shall consult
with the USFWS and CDFG to determine appropriate measures to avoid "take" of the
species. This measure will not be required if the 2081 Permit or MBHCP assumes
presence of Blunt-nosed leopard lizard, and provides suitable mitigation and
compensation.
The following mitigation measures are recommended to offset potential impacts to
riparian habitats, and to control erosion along the Kern River:.
15. The road section shall be designed and constructed to full road bed width (although
only two lanes each way will be initially constructed) for the purpose of not disturbing
fence and landscaping installed with proposed first phase improvements.
16. All disturbed sites within the BESA area shown in Figure 5 shall be revegetated
using the seeding mixture rate indicated in Table 6 and number and types of shrub and
tree species indicated in Table 7. The area to be revegetated with grasses and herbs only
includes the portion from the top of the slope to the toe of slope within the slope
easement (outside of the right-of-way) between the south edge of the Cross Valley
Canal, and the northern right-of-way of Stockdale Highway, minus the area within the
sandy river bottom. The area to be revegetated with trees, shrubs and grasses and herbs
includes other areas beyond the toe of the slope, outside the road right-of-way, between
the south edge of the Cross Valley Canal, and the bicycle path, minus the area within
the sandy river. Tree and shrub species must be planted in a non- .symmetrical, free-form
or organic manner, with tree heights staggered and non-uniform. The specific method
and timetable of revegetation and landscape engineering will be determined by City
Public Works Engineering during actual construction plan development and incorporated
into design specifications for the project.
17. Automatic water irrigation shall be provided for all tree and shrub species, along the
BESA revegetation area, as shown in Figure 5, and as specified in measure # 20.
18. A certified soils report shall be prepared on the revegetation area shown in Figure 5,
for purposes of defining appropriate soil amendments necessary to support listed plant
species and ensure proper growth. No land or erosion control operations shall take place
5
ORIGINAL
without Public Works approval of the certified soils report. At the discretion of the
Public Works and Planning Directors, the types of proposed seed materials may be
subjected to change based on results of the soils report.
19. The non-native tree species Tamarix shall be completely removed from the project
area due to its invasive and dominant nature. Its location is indicated in Figure 3 of the
Biological Assessment, described as north of the river, south of the canal, on the west
side of the proposed alignment, within the 240 foot disturbance area. The tree will be
identified and marked by the biologist within 60 days of ground disturbance, during the
preconstruction sensitive species survey. Tree will be either cut down and the stump
chemically treated to prevent return growth, or the entire tree stump removed during
construction activities.
20. Adequate maintenance and replacement of planted trees and shrubs will be
conducted to provide a reasonable likelihood of successful revegetation. Public Works or
its contractor shall frequently inspect the plantings, and respond to adverse conditions of
disease, pests, vandalism, nutrients, water, or other detrimental and remediable
conditions. Up to 10 percent of the original number of planted trees and shrubs may be
lost annually without replacement. Losses in excess of 10 percent shall be replaced by
the same species, however, different native species of shrubs and trees may be
substituted at the discretion of Public Works ff indicated by site conditions. Maintenance
shall commence immediately after installation of plants and continue for a period of 5
years. Plants replaced due to annual losses on excess of 10 percent shall be maintained
for a period of 5 years from date of planting. Termination of or modification of
maintenance prior to the 5 year period may be requested, subject to the approval of
CDFG. Public Works reports annually to CDFG, Region 4 Environmental Services.

Re: Calloway Specific Plan Line
Dear Ms. Suverkrubbe:
We would like to comment on particulars regarding this project
proposal.
7-he loss of acreage from the Bakersfield Educational Studies
Area [B.E.S.A) should be mitigated by purchasing an equal area
of adjacent land. Land immediately east of the Stockdale
Bridge could be added to the Studies Area. Another possibility
is purchasing an acre at the western entrance to California
State University. north of Stockdale Highway. /'his would
provide a parking area for school buses to access the
Another mitigation could be installing water lines to the
existing mature cottonwood trees. 7-hese trees are dying due to
the draught and lack of ground water in the area.
There is proposea mitigation of planting an equal number of
trees to those removed by the project. Native trees have a
high failure rate and there should be a I 1/2 or 2 tree ratio
of trees replaced to those removed by construction. Also. past
experience from the parkway has shown that the city Goes not
provide a reliable source of water to the trees planted along
the bike path. Any trees that die in i-2 years ~houid be
replaced by the Public Works Department.
%ne trees should be from local stock and hopefully our city:s
money would be spent locally. Also, we propose that the
replacement cottonwood trees be both male and female. ~Tis
wiii provide future trees wi]en there will be water in the
river.
Plancing of 35.9 lbs of annual seeds ~s a waste of g'ood money.
Wiidfiower seed now sells at approximaate $100 per pound.
There will be little reseeding the following year. as many of
us ]7ave found who plant wildflowers in our gardens. Poppies
and other annuals do not naturally grow in our ~ardens, nor do
%hey naturally grow zn %he i<ern River corzl~lor. We have worke~ A;(
CO preserve the B,E.S.A. in as natural ~ state as possiDie. (~%' ~
?he ~ioiogzcai Assessment cites Ernest ~wisseimann's Piora c,f~
Kern ~ounty. Consulting this book. you will find ~
ORIGINAL
that most of the listed wildflowers in the seed package do
not naturally occur in this area. Poppys are pretty but
they really should be left to the iuiilsides near Gorman. The
area is full of non-native species such as bromes. rescues,
and pepper grass. ~-hey Wlli take over the heavily compacted
construction area rather quickly. Save the money and use it to
buy land.
We are concerned about lighting along Calloway north of
Stockdale Hwy. /2qere is presently extensive light projected
into the B.E.S.A. from the super market at Stockdale and
Coffee. This light probably adversely affects the nocturnal
mammals of the area. Engineering design could shield the light
so that it is directed onto the roadway only and not onto the
surrounding land.
We are distressed that there is no water available to recharge
the water bank and that so much is diverted for agricultural
uses. We hope the city will successfully negotiate for more
water in 2012 when the leases expire. We hope that "as
additional water exchanges and new programs come on line, we
will begin to see more flow," (Kern River Parkway DEIR 17-5).
The Kern River Wildlife Migration Corridor is a recreational
gem. As our population increases we will find ourselves with
too few parks. Now we joke about walking on the river. This
land is an asset to the community and future water will make
this area appealing for local businesses and residences. The
City has been most cooperative in helping make the B.E.S.A
happen. Lets not chop away at it's fringes until it is an
isolated park hemmed in by overpasses and freeways.
