SECTION 4
This ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency ordinance
within the meening of Section 24 of the Charter of t~ City of Bak-
ersfield, State of California, and necessary for the immediate per-
servation of the public health, peace, property ~xd safety a.~i shall
take effect iz~nediately.
The facts constituting such emergency are as follows:
Golden State Avenue and Union Avenue between its intersection
with Golden State Avenue and the southerly boundary of said City to-
gether with the Traffic Ci:~cle at the intersection of Golden State
Avenue and Chester Avenue constitute the principle State Highway
route through the city of Bakersfield and large volumes of traffic
are now carried by said route. In order to protect traffic move-
ments on said ~.ol~te, in order to provide s. safe and pleasant tho-
roughfare for travel~the City and in order to prevent discrimina-
tion amoU~g verious properties along said route, it is necessary
that the re,elations prescribed for Interim Zone District Number One
of the City of Ba~_ersfield as set forth in Ordinance Number 429, N.S.
shall be extended tO all property adjacent to said route. Due to
the recent completion of connecting Highway links which make
Golden. State Avenue an integral part of California State Highway
route Number Four and because of considerable building activity
within the City of Bakersrield, numerous applications are being
made for building permits along those portions of Golden State
Avenue and of Union Avenue between its intersection with Golden
State Avenue and the southerly boundaries of said City which, under
the terms of said Ordinance No. 429 New Series are not included
within said Interim Zone District Number One to the extent that
large and extensive improvements may be made regardless of the
provisions of this ordinance.
