WHEREAS, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the provisions of Title 17 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on a petition to change the land use zoning of those certain properties to be annexed into the City of Bakersfield generally located on the west side of Miramonte Drive, approximately one- half mile south of State Highway 178; and WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 61-06 on March 16, 2006, the Planning Commission recommended approval and adoption of an ordinance amending Title 17 of the Municipal Code to approve Zone Change No. 05-1343 as delineated on attached Zoning Map 104-15 marked Exhibit "A", by this Council and this Council has fully considered the recommendations made by the Planning Commission as set forth in that Resolution and restated herein; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, as a result of said hearing, did make several general and specific findings of fact which warranted a negative declaration of environmental impact and changes in zoning of the subject property from A (Agriculture) to R-1 (One Family Dwelling Zone) on 74.71 acres, and the Council has considered said findings as restated herein and all appear to be true and correct; and WHEREAS, a Negative Declaration with mitigation was advertised and posted on February 10, 2006, in accordance with CEQA; and WHEREAS, the general plan designation for this area allows for low density residential development; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered and concurs with the following findings made by the Planning Commission as set forth in Resolution No. 61-06, adopted on March 16, 2006: 1. All required public notices have been given. 2. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act have been followed. 3.

The proposed project, as shown on Exhibit "A," is consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. 6. The public necessity, general welfare and good planning practices justify the requested zone change, as shown on Exhibit "A." , ~;~\i' '< (, >. 1 S: r..~~ ')H' !!NA, 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 purposes 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 State of California Fish and Game Code. Additionally the assumption of adverse effect is rebutted by the above-referenced absence of evidence in the record and the lead agency's decision to prepare a Negative Declaration for this project. 8, 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.
