Soil Qualitv Finding - The soil type of the project site (Kimberlina, 0-2 percent slopes and Panoche clay loam, 0-2 percent slopes) are some of the most common soils within the Valley Floor of Kern County. The soil type is not unique or found only on the project site. Therefore, the conversion of the project site to urbanization is appropriate for the area. " 'òMto» , ç. tt >- ~ I;:: j- c ù ORIGINAL .-- ----,._-----,----,._- 2. Availabilitv of irrieation water Finding - The site is currently being farmed. Irrigation water remains available. 3. Proximitv to non-aericultural uses Finding - There are proposed subdivision tracts lying within Y:z mile from the proposed project site to the north. 4. Proximitv to intensive parcelization Finding - The areas surrounding the site, specifically to the north, east, and south are planned for residential development. Therefore, the conversion of the project site to urbanization is appropriate for the area. 5. Effect on properties subiect to "Williamson Act" land use contracts Finding - No parcels within the project site are currently under a Williamson Land Use Contract. 6. Abilitv to be provided with urban services (sewer, water. roads, etc.) Finding - The site is accessible by existing City and County maintained road, Le" Gosford Road and Taft Highway. Municipal sewer and water service is expected to be taken from Gosford Road. City sewer service is to be required as a condition of this development. 7. Abilitv to affect the application of aericultural chemicals on nearbv aaricultural properties Finding - Changes to methods of agricultural chemicals applied to adjacent lands that would occur as a result of implementation of this project are not expected due to the proximity of existing and proposed residential development. 8. Abilitv to create a precedent-seltine situation that leads to the premature conversion of prime aariculturallands Finding - The property is currently zoned for agriculture and is designated for agricultural use. Parcels in all directions are currently being developed or are planned for development. 9. Demonstrated proiect need Finding - The project is in accord with adjacent residential development and in the area, and is necessary to provide for housing to offset the deficiency in urban housing demand. 10. Necessitv of buffers such as lower densities, setbacks. etc Finding -The project site is located adjacent to agricultural and residential land. The 2 ~ 'òAKS'-9 o <P >- :':' f- fT1 - f'- o <:) ORI()INAI proposed development to the north of the project boundary represents a low-density residential development. The proposed project is consistent with this use.

Based upon 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 for the project in accordance with CEQA. d. The public necessity, general welfare and good planning practices justify the amendment to the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. e. The land use designation change from R-IA (Resource - Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low Density Residential) on 70 acres and R-IA to GC (General Commercial) on 10 acres is compatible with the land use designations of surrounding properties and is internally consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. 1.
