The $675,000 contribution to the westside freeway is adequate to mitigate anticipated off-site traffic impacts and is more beneficial to obtain right-of-way than incremental upgrading of arterial and collector intersections. 2. The mitigation agreements executed with North Bakersfield Recreation and Park District, Norris School District and Fruitvale School District are adequate to mitigate impacts on these facilities. 3. Regarding the General Commercial designation at the northeast corner of Hageman Road and Calloway Drive, the follow- ing findings are pertinent for deviating from the one-half mile commercial separation policy: a. The commercial acreage for the entire groject has been reduced by 30 acres. b. The location is the only commercial located along the west side of Riverlakes Ranch and provides service to a one-mile radius. c. The small 6-acre size and neighborhood orienta- tion reduces anticipated impacts and is buffered by low-medium density residential. d. Anticipated customer base will be in route to or from home thus reducing the number of newly created traffic trips. e. Location of neighborhood commercial west of the canal will reduce number of trips using the canal bridge. f. This commercial acreage was formerly 10 acres located interior to Riverlakes. By reducing the size and locat- ing it at an intersection of arterials the impacts on surrounding land uses have been reduced. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED and found by the Council of the City of Bakersfield as follows: 1. The above recitals, incorporated herein, are true and correct. 2. The Negative Declaration for the Riverlakes Ranch Specific Plan is hereby approved and adopted with conditions listed on Exhibit "A". 3.
