WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield and the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency
(RDA) desire to effectuate the purposes of the redevelopment plan within the Downtown
Bakersfield Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area"); and
WHEREAS, a developer desires to construct a 68,300 square foot building and
parking facilities at 2000 K Street, in the City of Bakersfield ("the Project"); and
WHEREAS, under California Health and Safety Code Section 33421, as enacted
by the State of California, a redevelopment agency may provide for the installation and
construction of off-site improvements necessary for carrying out the redevelopment plan
in a redevelopment project area; and
WHEREAS, the Project will be located in the Project Area; and
WHEREAS, under California Health and Safety Code Section 33421.1, as enacted
by the State of California, the redevelopment agency may not use its authority to assist in
off-site improvements without the consent of the legislative body; and
WHEREAS, the RDA desires to assist the developer by reimbursing to it the costs
of installing off-site improvements which will keep the Project in conformity with the Chester
Avenue Streetscape; and
WHEREAS, such off-site improvements will create an attractive streetscape
environment which significantly improves pedestrian activity, character, and image within
the Project Area; and
WHEREAS, such reimbursements shall be paid to developer from the tax increment
which is generated by the Project; and
WHEREAS, developing the Project in the Project Area will cost the developer more
than if the Project were located outside of the Project Area; and
