RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS, APPROVING THE
CANCELLATION OF A WILLIAMSON ACT LAND USE
CONTRACT ON CERTAIN PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE
SOUTH SIDE OF SNOW ROAD (FUTURE) BETWEEN
ALLEN ROAD AND RENFRO ROAD (FUTURE)
(GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 51282). (Ward 4).
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Bakersfield in accordance with the
provisions of Section 65353 of the Govemment Code, held a public hearing on Monday, June 13, 2005,
and Thursday, June 16,2005, on Case No. 05-0338 of a proposed cancellation of a Williamson Act
Land Use Contract on that certain property being annexed to the City of Bakersfield, notice of the time
and place of hearing having been given at least twenty (20) calendar days before said hearing by
publication in The Bakersfie/d Californian, a local newspaper of general circulation; and
WHEREAS, such proposed cancellation is as follows:
Williamson Act Land Use Contract Cancellation:
Marino/Associates for King-Gardiner Farms LLC applied to cancel a Williamson Act
Land Use Contract on approximately 60 acres within Kern County Agricultural
Preserve No.9, generally located on the south side of Snow Road (future) between
Allen Road and Renfro Road (future); and
WHEREAS, the requested cancellation covers an approximately 60-acre portion of the north half
of the northeast quarter of Section 11, Township 29 South, Range 26 East, Mount Diablo Base &
Meridian, in the unincorporated area of the County of Kern, State of Califomia; and
WHEREAS, the subject property is part of a proposed annexation to the City of Bakersfield in
said County and State; and
WHEREAS, the subject site is also part of a proposed General Plan Amendment/Zone Change
(No. 05-0338) to allow the development of urban uses on the site; and
WHEREAS, the applicant for the property owner has indicated the purpose of the request is to
develop single family residences on the site; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 51283 of the Government Code, the Kern County Assessor has
determined the full market value of the land with respect to which the cancellation is requested, as
though it was free of the contractual restriction, and has certified to this Council that the amount thereof
is $3,545,400, and that the cancellation fee is $443,175 for the 60 acres, and has certified thatthere are
no additional deferred taxes under Government Code Section 51283; and
WHEREAS, the request for the cancellation of the Williamson Act Land Use Contract by
Marino/Associates for King-Gardiner Farms LLC, was duly heard and considered by the Planning
Commission at a public hearing held June 16, 2005; and
WHEREAS, the cancellation of the Williamson Act Land Use Contract will not become effective
until the completion of the annexation to the City of Bakersfield; and
WHEREAS, proposed General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. 05-0338 for the property is
conditioned upon the payment of the fee calculated by the Kem County Assessor noted above, prior to
any further urbanization of the property; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 81-05 on June 16, 2005, the Planning Commission
recommended approval and adoption of the cancellation of the Williamson Act Land Use Contract
subject to the mitigation and conditions of approval listed in Exhibit "A" and this Council has fully
considered the findings made by the Planning Commission as set forth in that Resolution and as
restated herein; 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,
September 7,2005, on the above described proposal, notice oftime 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
WHEREAS, a notice of hearing was sent to the Department of Conservation pursuant to
Section 51284 of the Government Code; and
WHEREAS, a notice of hearing was sent to property owners of lands under contract
within one mile of the project site pursuant to Section 51284 of the Government Code; and
WHEREAS, the Council has considered and hereby makes the following findings:
1. The above recitals and findings are true and correct.
2. The Council has considered and concurs with the following findings made by the
Planning Commission as set forth in Resolution No. 81-05, adopted on June 16,
2005:
a. All required notices have been given.
b. The provisions of CEQA have been followed.
c. Based on the initial study and comments received, staff has determined that
the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment.
A Negative Declaration was prepared and sent to responsible agencies and
property owners within 300 feet of the project site in accordance with CEQA.
d. The public necessity, general welfare and good zoning practice justify the
recommended cancellation of the Williamson Act Land Use Contract on 60
acres generally located on the south side of Snow Road (future) between
Allen Road and Renfro Road (future).
e. The recommended cancellation is compatible with the surrounding uses.
f. The recommended cancellation is consistent with the Metropolitan
Bakersfield General Plan, subject to prior approval of General Plan
Amendment No. 05-0338 and to conditions imposed on General Plan
Amendment/Zone Change No. 05-0338.
2
g. The laws and regulations relating to the preparation and adoption of
Negative Declarations as set forth in CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and
the City of Bakersfield CEQA Implementation Procedures have been duly
followed by city staff and the Planning Commission.
h. The property lies within the path of urban development with approved
development projects in progress and said urban development projects as
well as local government agency efforts have extended supporting utilities
and infrastructure adjacent to the property.
i. The cancellation is for land on which a notice of nonrenewal has been
served pursuant to Section 51245 of the Government Code; said notice was
recorded on December 18, 2001 as Document No. 0201188955 in the Office
of the Kern County Recorder.
j. The cancellation is not likely to result in the removal of adjacent lands from
agricultural use as no lands within the project site's Zone of Influence, as
defined pursuant to the Califomia Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment (LESA) Model, are under an active Williamson Act Land Use
Contract for which a notice of non-renewal has not been filed and adjacent
properties to the south and west that are presently in agricultural use are
designated for single-family residential development at densities ranging
from approximately 4 to 10 dwelling units per net acre under the Metropolitan
Bakersfield General Plan.
k. The cancellation is for an altemative use which is consistent with the
Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan, subject to prior approval of General
Plan Amendment No. 05-0338.
I. The cancellation will not result in discontiguous patterns of urban
development since the property lies within the path of rapid urban
development as more than ten tracts and two pending tracts are adjacent or
in close proximity to the project site.
m. Development of the contracted land would provide more contiguous patterns
of urban development than development of proximate noncontracted lands.
The project is located adjacent to developing and approved urban projects
and will result in a more contiguous pattern of urban development than
development of noncontracted lands farther from these urbanizing lands.
3. That the applicant by prior written agreement agreed to comply with all adopted
mitigation measures contained within the Negative Declaration.
4. That the infrastructure exists or can easily be provided to accommodate the types of
density and intensity of the proposed development.
5. The subject property is a noncontiguous sixty acres, separated by two ten acre
noncontracted parcels not currently in agricultural use and which have not been in
agricultural use in the recent past, one of which is owned by a church congregation
that is temporarily utilizing the existing on-site facilities until they are able to construct
permanent church facilities.
3
6. The cancellation will not result in a discontiguous pattern of development as
surrounding properties are designated for single-family residential and industrial
development under the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan and because the
conversion of former agricultural and vacant lands to residential uses generally in an
east to west direction has reached Allen Road, immediately east of the subject
property.
7. The rate of urban development in the surrounding area subsequent to the
recordation of the notice of nonrenewal could not have been anticipated at that time.
Due to the encroachment of urban development adjacent to and in close proximity to
the subject property, including Frontier High School located approximately one-
quarter mile south and downwind of the subject property that is scheduled to open in
August 2006 and single-family homes immediately to the east, the use of agricultural
chemicals on the subject property will likely be prohibited within one year's time.
Therefore, agricultural production on the subject property is anticipated to become
economically infeasible approximately five years prior to the termination of the
contract through nonrenewal.
8. It is essential to the orderly development of other planned urban developments to the
west of the subject property, including the 2,700-acre Rosedale Ranch project, that
the segments of Snow Road and Renfro Road adjacent to the subject property be
dedicated and constructed. Without the dedication and construction of the segment
of Snow Road that would be required with the development of the subject property,
initial developments within Rosedale Ranch and other developments in the area
would only have access from Kratzmeyer Road, forcing all traffic past Frontier High
School to Allen Road before being distributed to other roads. Without approval of
this request, development of the subject property would lag a number of years
behind Rosedale Ranch and other developments in the area, resulting in a
discontiguous pattern of urban development and public infrastructure.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND FOUND BY THE COUNCil OF THE CITY
OF BAKERSFIELD as follows:
1. The above recitals and findings incorporated herein are true and correct.
2. The Negative Declaration for General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. 05-0338
and Williamson Act land Use Contract Canellation is hereby approved and adopted.
3. The report of the Planning Commission, including maps and all reports and papers
relevant thereto, transmitted by the Secretary of the Planning Commission to the City
Council, is hereby received, accepted and approved.
4. That the City Council has, pursuant to Section 51282 of the Government Code,
made the required findings to approve the cancellation of the Williamson Act land
Use Contract.
5. The Williamson Act land Use Contract cancellation and exclusion of the project site
from Kern County Agricultural Preserve NO.9 will not take affect until said property is
annexed to the City of Bakersfield.

6. The City Council hereby approves and adopts cancellation of the Williamson Act
Land Use Contract on 60 acres located on the south side of Snow Road (future)
between Allen Road and Renfro Road (future) as shown on the map marked Exhibit
"B" and exclusion of the subject property from Kem County Agricultural Preserve No.
9, subject to prior approval of General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. 05-0338
and subject to the mitigation and conditions of approval listed in Exhibit "A".
7. Based on the absence of evidence in the record as required by Section 21082.2 of
the State of California Public Resources Code (CEQA) for the purpose of
documenting significant effects, it is the conclusion of the Lead Agency that this
project will result in impacts that fall below the threshold of significance with regard to
wildlife resources and, therefore, must be granted a "de minimis" exemption in
accordance with Section 711 of the Sate of California Fish and Game Code.
Additionally, the assumption of adverse effect is rebutted by the above-reference
absence of evidence in the record and the Lead Agency's decision to prepare a
Negative Declaration for this project.

accordance with the requirements of San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control
District Regulation VIII.
4. With submission of the first Parcel Map, Tract Map, or Site Plan Review application for
any portion of the subject property, the applicant shall provide an updated air quality
impact study addressing the potential for the development of the entire subject property
to exceed the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's Thresholds of
Significance for ozone precursors. The most recent version of URBEMIS that is
available at the time of application submission shall be utilized for this analysis. If the
proposed development is projected to exceed the District's Thresholds of Significance,
then the following conditions shall be met to the satisfaction of the Planning Director:
a. Prior to recordation of a final map or issuance of a building permit (whichever
occurs first), the subdivider shall select and implement one or a combination of
the following measures and/or programs in order to reduce ROG and NOx
emissions to below the District's Thresholds of Significance for ozone precursors.
i. The subdivider shall fully construct a project or projects approved by the
City Public Works Department that will result in the reduction of emissions
as described in above. The improvements for said project must be
accepted by the Public Works Department prior to recordation the final
map. The project selected shall be a project that is not otherwise funded
or constructed with the subdivision. The subdivider is responsible for all
costs to determine the emission reductions associated with projects. This
documentation shall be submitted to the Planning Director and the Public
Works Director prior to approval of a project. The projects used for the
reduction in emissions may include one or more of the following types of
projects:
1. Construction of a new, warranted signal.
2. Modification of an existing signalized intersection to add additional

Mitigation/Conditions of Approval
ii. If one or more of these programs is selected by the subdivider, proof of
compliance with these measures must be provided to the satisfaction of
the Planning Director prior to recordation of a final map. Proof of
compliance may include documentation of the number, type and year of
cars crushed; location and type of engines modified, photo documentation
and quantification of emission reduction by Air Pollution Control District or
Air Quality consultant.
b. The Developer may provide emissions offsets through participation in a voluntary
emission reduction program (VERP) through the San Joaquin Valley APCD. The
VERP will require the developer to enter into a binding agreement with the
SJVAPCD that will require the SJVAPCD to:
i. Review the air emission impact assessment protocol and quantification of
emission estimates attributable to the project.
ii. Accept the estimated monetary value of the emission reductions to equal
the emissions from the project.
iii. Locate and implement the emission reductions.
iv. Certify that the emission reductions have been made to the lead agency
and the developer in the form of a certificate.
c. During the life of the project, if the City of Bakersfield adopts an emissions
mitigation program that provides equal or more effective mitigation than
measures listed in this analysis, the developer may choose to participate in the
City's program to mitigate air quality impacts.
d. The purchase of Banked Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) will fully offset the
project. ERCs, which have been approved by the SJVAPCD, are retained in the
emission inventory for the air basin. Purchase and surrender of ERCs removes
them from this inventory, thus fully offsetting the incremental increase to the
emissions inventory from this project. Therefore, the emissions inventory
contained in the SI P and used for the AQAP will not increase as a result of the
project and the AQAP remains valid.
e. Should ERCs not be available or deemed cost effective, the developer may
provide offsets through other means acceptable to the City Planning Department
and approved by the SJVAPCD.

f. Fees paid to the SJVAPCD through an approved indirect source emissions fee
program may be utilized to provide applicable offsets for the proposed project.
Cultural Resources:
5. If cultural resources are encountered during construction, a qualified archaeologist shall be
retained by the developer to evaluate the significance of the resources and to formulate a
mitigation program if necessary. The archaeologist shall coordinate with the City of
Bakersfield Planning Department.
6. If human remains are discovered during grading or construction activities, work would
cease pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code. If human
remains are identified on the site at any time, work shall stop at the location of the find and
the Kern County Coroner shall be notified immediately (Section 7050.5 of the California
Health and Safety Code and Section 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code
which details the appropriate actions necessary for addressing the remains) and the local
Native American community shall be notified immediately.
Transportation and Traffic:
