This proposal will show how the new stadium wi1l make an already proven franchise even more successful providing economic growth in the region, while increasing the quality of life for Bakersfield area residents. Information will also illustrate the economic tragedy which would be inevitable should the franchise, choose to leave Bakersfield for the promise of better accommodations elsewhere. HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL IN BAKERSFIELD The Bakersfield Dodgers Baseball Club is an original member of the California League, founded in 1941 with the help of local businessman Sam Lynn. The park which bears his name and home of the Bakersfield Dodgers is the oldest in the California League, having been constructed for the league's inaugural season. Since 1941. Bakersfield has been a home to a California League team for all but 4 seasons (see appendix A). Bakers~eld has been the minor league affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers since 1984. Minor league baseball fans in the area have seen the rise of major league stars. several of whom have gone on to the Baseball Hall of Fame. ! ~ ~ ~ ;," SEP- 7-94 WED 16:19 P.136 ,- -, I, - I t BA ERSFIELD NEEDS PROFESSI NAL BASEBALL Professional baseball in Bakersfield, now more than ever, is a valuable asset to the ~ community. It is Bakcrfield's only professional sports team, providing fun and inexpensive family entertainment, along with being a great source of community pride and involvement The Dodgers provide diverse business, entertainment, and ~ cultural opportunities for all of Kern County. It is no secret that many other communities in California are aggressively seeking I professional sports franchises. With these franchises comes identity and a unique marketing tool for the city. These advantages have not been lost on such communities as Lake Elsinore, Moreno Valley, Chico, Oceanside, and Ontnrio, all of which are strong contenders to snatch up any available franchise. With only 10 franchises available in the California League, potential cities realize they must make themselves very attractive to the minor league ownership and the major league affiliate. Quality venues to accommodate the team appear to be the single most important factor in successfully acquiring minor league baseball. In the I past year alone, 3 franchises have relocated. In each instance problems with the II previous stadium or the prospect of playing in a new stadium were cited as the I reason for the moves. II I In addition to being a viable, financially stable business, providing inexpensive a recreation for residents. minor league franchises with their major league affiliates supply a source of substamial, favorable, out-of-the-area publicity. This publicity, ~- along with the ability of professional baseball to increase the quality of life for an area, gives minor league cities a trump card in attracting other business to the I- regIon.

Annual economic figures are as follows: , . The Bakersfield Dodgers currently spend more than $550,000 in the community. . Approximately $350,000 is spent locally by the Los Angeles Dodgers from 31 players/coaches living in Bakersfield for the 5 month season. . Visiting teams spend nearly $200,000 while in Bakersfield. . The franchise is curTently employing 5 full-time staff members and more than 65 part-time positions for residents ranging in age from 16 to 84. ~ . The team directly uses approximately 200 airline tickets each year. M . The Dodger front office often becomes a tourist information outpost, J providing information on the team and the area to hundreds of out-of- 181 towners annually. I .. I Total measurable spending amounts to over $1,100,000. Conservative estimates indicate that an infusion of money creates a three-fold economic effect within the community. Therefore, the effect of spending brought on by the existence of I : professional baseball is close to $3.3 million! ~: ... - ------- ~-- ',>' SEP- 7-94 WED 16:20 p.0a , õ ; MONEY COMING INTO BAKERSFIELD i The following figures indicate the guaranteed money that comes to Bakersfield from Q!!tside the city.

SEP- 7-94 WED 16:22 P. 1 ø , . ' r " RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY FAN ATIENDANCE BENEFITS Minor League baseball in Bakersfield has a long and rich history. Fans have been enjoying professional baseball at Sam Lynn Ballpark for over 50 years. And recently, they have been turning out in record numbers. . The Bakersfield Dodgers have set franchise attendance records in each of the last 3 years, averaging over 150,000 fans annually. . Over the past 10 years more than 1 million fans have come to cheer the hometown club. With Bakersfield being so centrally located, there is the potential for recreational dollars find their way into out of town coffers. The entertainment value of B'Dodger baseball has not only kept these dollars in Bakersfield, but, has attracted hearty baseball fans from around the state and the nation. Residents of Bakersfield, baseball fans or not, are sure to see the. benefits of maintaining the area's 50 year baseball tradition. Tangible economic benefits I. indicate building a new stadium and, securing a minor league baseball franchise is more than just a good idea, it is a pivotal component in the overall packaging of :~ Bakersfield to both businesses and individuals. ~ I i ~ - I " S~p- 7-94 WED 16:23 ¿. P. 11 ; BAKERFIELD 0 DGERS - A TIVE IN THE COMM NITY ; With tough economic times purse strings for charitable contributions become tight. The Bakerstield Dodgers are always willing to help out and our track record speaks for itself. Whether it is to help organizations raise money or offer our resources to help an individuals fantasy come true, the Dodgers are always open to community involvement. Over the past five years the Bakersfield Dodgers have contributed over $60,000 in cash, tickets, souvenirs, and baseball equipment to the following non-profit groups in Kern County, and this is only a partial list: Walk America Boy Scouts of America Mothers Against Drunk Drivers Community Action Against Drugs/Alcohol March of Dimes Citizens For the Betterment of Community/Country Epilepsy Society of Kern County Kern County Food Bank I Boys Club of Bakersfield Kern County Pros For Youth Aunt Cherie's Home Churches, Schools, Youth and Senior Organizations . . . and many, many more The presence of role models for youths is always a serious concern for a ¡ community. The Dodgers offer inspiration for kids, while helping seniors stay young at heart. Besides being able to help organizations financially, the Dodgers i! allow organizations to experience all of the thrills of professional baseball without paying the high cost of travelling to Los Angeles. :- : . - --------_u_-------- -------- SEP- 7-94 WED 16:23 P.12 DIRECT ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF A NEW STADIUM The easiest way to illustrate the effect a new stadium will have on the area is to double all of the fore mentioned points. With both an increase in fan attendance and in the size of the venue, direct economic benefits wil1 follow. . Greater spending by the franchise directly to local dealers, suppliers, and members of the service trade. . Increased emplòymcnt opponunities for stadium personnel and front office staff. , ,', . Improve, even more, the quality of life in the area. . The one time economic benefit of the new construction will serve as a c~talyst for construction spending and employment in the community throughout the year. The Bakersfield Dodgers finnly believe that done properly a new stadium can not only serve as an added feature to the city, but can be used as a focal point in promoting Bakersfield. -. SEP- 7-94 WED 16:23 P. 13 I m:;W ST AlliUM - A VtiliUE FQR CO~MUNITY EVENTS There are many benefits to having a clean, well designed, modem facility other than to accommodate a professional baseball team. The party leasing the stadium to the Bakersfield franchise will have steady rent revenue for the six months of the baseball season. In addition to this revenue, the lessee will be ablc to generate additional revenue from special ~vents both during the season and during the off- season. Events which have proven to be successful in Minor League Baseball Stadiums around the country are as follows: Musical Concerts (Country Western, Pop, Oldies) Swap Meets Religious Events . " R V /CarlBoat Shows High School and College Championships/All Star Games ¡ Area High School regular season games and tournaments Benefit Baseball Games Football games World Wide Wrestling events Celebrity/Charity Softball games Laser Shows Boxing Matches Baseball Fantasy Camps Tumbling and Acrobatic Shows ~ Circus events Youth Baseball Clinics/Camps Fair Events Having a fixed seat venue and a large parking facility provides the owner with the ~ means to attract and promote events that appeal to different cross sections of the community. Having a first class facility makes the selling effort that much easier. i I ,II \ ¡ , ---- __~n -------- ---~-- ----- , SEP- 7-94 WED 16:24 ~," ' ".' P. 14 ; , , IT JUST MAKES ENSE! Prom the argument put forth above it makes both economic and practical sense for the City of Bakersfield to be involved in the construction of a new stadium which would assure Bakersfield of minor league baseball for many years to come. , In as few as 10 years, the new stadium would pay for itself many times over. - -, Couple this with the identity gained throughout the sporting world from having one I ,~ of the premier minor league ballparks in the country. . For many years the Bakersfield Dodgers have provided a quality product on the I . field. now it is time to provide them with a first class venue.

It will also ban 19 types of assault weapons, and it keeps guns out of the hands of children. Under this Bill, California can get as many as 10,000 new police officers.

This Crime Bill is supported by all major law enforcement groups in America, by the attorneys general in the states, by prosecutors, by the Conference of Mayors -- Republicans and Democrats ~- and by the nations governors of both parties. In all the years I have served in Congress, I have never seen greater bipartisan -- truly non-partisan -.;. support for any major legislation. The passage of the Crime Bill shows that the Congress can and will act to benefit the American people. ~ECCIE~VlED [ SEP 8~~J PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER CITY MANAGER'S Or-FICE n ,-,~,=~-'>"-'-""---~--~--"------~-- _._~_I \ " I '"'~~,~-- 1700 MONTGOMERY STREET BARBARA BOXER ..

SCHUlZ, PUBUC WORKS DIRECTOR ~ ' DATE: FEBRUARY 5, 1993 SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL REFERRAL. RECORD #11315 STREET UGHTSON OLD RIVER ROAD. MING AVE. TO WHITE LANE At a recent Council meeting a request was made by a councilmember regarding street lighting at the subject location. Installation of street lights in new areas is the responsibility of the developer. This section of Old River Road was constructed in the early 1980's with the development of The Oaks. At that time City policy for street lights on major streets with walls was to require lights only at intersections. In 1989 two additional street lights were installed on the east side of Old River between Ming Avenue and White Oak Drive as part of the improvements for Tract 5024. By this time City policy for street light spacing on major streets had changed to the current policy of one light every 250-300 feet on alternate sides of the street. Installation of additional lights on the east side of Old River would be very costly since all utilities are underground. Any new lights in this area would require new foundations, poles, luminaires and hundreds of feet of underground conduit to power the lights. Additionallìghts will be installed on this street to current City spacing standards by Castle and Cooke with the next development adjacent to Old River Road, although no time schedule has been set for development on this side of the street. In addition, as warrants are met, traffic signals with additional lighting will be placed at the intersections of Old River Road with White Oak Drive and Ridge Oak Drive.

Action taken by Council: "DeMond refe"ed to staff the issue of the setting (of) the timing of the left hand turn signal turning west to south at the intersection of Truxtun and Chester Avenue. " Traffic Engineering Response: Traffic Engineering staff have observed the left turn congestion/delay problem. At this time, only minor timing changes are possible to allow a few more vehicles to turn on the green with each cycle. The timing changes are being implemented and should result in a reduction of congestion. The intersection is part of the downtown signal coordination grid, which includes Truxtun, Chester, H, F and L Streets, and more than minor changes will degrade the balance at other intersections. It has been more than two years since the downtown grid was last modelled for signal timing improvements, and additional traffic from the County Admin. building, Superintendent of Schools and others are now present. We will also add a new analysis of the downtown system to our continuing work program. It is anticipated that improvements to the Truxtun corridor signal timing and downtown grid can further reduce the left turn delay at Chester and Truxtun. cc: Fred Kloepper, Assistant Public Works Director Bruce Deeter, CE 1lI, Traffic Engineering Brad Underwood, CE 1lI, Traffic Engineering PW Memo Files Traffic Engineering File - Chester/Truxtun - referral #13813(w2) slw: d:\wp\1994\ccrl3813.ref .

ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR FR~:~~K La~œEUE, CIVIL EGIDER I~DESI~ SUBJECT: ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE FOR COFFEE ROAD WIDENING BRIMHALL ROAD TO ROSEDALE HIGHWAY WIDENING COFFEE ROAD FROM 2 TO 4 LANES Per your request, I have developed an Engineer's Estimate to widen Coffee Road from two (2) to four (4) lanes from Brimhall Road to Rosedale Highway. The project would involve two elements which are normally very time consuming. These include the relocation of a railroad gate which normally takes between 18 to 36 months to complete and the purchase of a relatively small piece of right of way at the northwest corner of Coffee Road and Brimhall Road. I had a meeting with John Fleming of Sante Fe on Thursday concerning another matter in which Sante Fe is looking for a favor from the City. When asked if he could assist us in fast tracking the railroad gate relocation, Mr. Fleming indicated he could. After a few telephone calls to various employees of Sante Fe, Mr. Fleming indicated he could have the gate relocated in as early as 45 days after Sante Fe approves the new crossing arrangement. Obtaining right of way on the northwest corner of Coffee Road and Brimhall Road however will be much more difficult. I have been negotiating with Sunland Refining Company to obtain that right of way in exchange for roadway improvements. Through their attorney, Sunland agreed in principle to the exchange. An agreement was J drafted and submitted to Sunland on June 21, 1994. Since that time, they have not contacted me and do not return my calls. The Engineer's Estimate to widen this portion of Coffee Road from 2 to 4 lanes is $330,000. This money was budgeted in the 1992-93 fiscal year. It has been carried over ever since awaiting acquisition of right of way. CURRENT DIRECTION FOR IMPROVEMENT OF COFFEE ROAD As an alternate to widen Coffee Road to four (4) lanes, I proposed to widen each end to its ultimate configuration. This would provide three through lanes, two left turn lanes and a right turn lane at each approach. The limits of this widening would be from each intersection (Brimhall or Rosedale) to the point where the proposed Grade Separation project begins. ----- ""- --.. -- -' ~ .. There were several reasons for the alternate proposal. The first reason was that the Grade Separation project was imminent and there was really no need to widen a portion of a roadway which was to be abandoned in the near future. The second reason was that the majority of vehicular delay in an urban setting is caused at roadway intersections. Improving the intersections to their ultimate condition was by far the best way to relieve congestion on Coffee Road. Other reasons included increased operational efficiencies at the intersections, better coordination with the Grade Separation project and the opportunity to provide better staged construction of improvements along Coffee Road. The Engineer's Estimate for this alternate was approximately $360,000 and was approved by the previous Director to implement. HYBRID ALTERNATE A hybrid alternate may also be accomplished by combining the two proposals. Since some of the widening is included in each proposal and additional costs savings may be realized in combining the projects, it may be prudent to do both. This alternate would not only minimize delay at each intersection, it would also allow better movement through the grade crossing of the Sante Fe and facilitate better merging from intersection to intersection. The Engineer's Estimate for this alternate is $550,000. ----- - cc Fred Kloepper Arnold Ramming saved under P:coffeel.mem -- ¡'~,:-:j.'

Currently HUD programs require several uncoordinated applications and separate planning and citizen participation processes. Each program operates on its own time-frame, making coordination difficult and integration into the city's budget cycle impossible. Consolidating the submission requirements for the formula grant programs for which the City is entitled: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), will offer the City a better chance to shape these and other programs into effective, coordinated neighborhood and community development strategies. The purpose of the kick-off is to provide the public with an over-view of the process and discuss the six general areas for planning use of funds: housing, homeless, economic development, public facilities, public services, and infrastructure (drainage systems, curbs and gutters, street lighting, etc.). Citizen participation in the development of the Consolidated Plan is a key component in the process. The five-year plan is a community revitalization strategy based on the collaborative efforts of local institutions, community groups, citizens and government officials. Citizen participation is encouraged throughout the planning development process. For more information call Vince zaragoza or Jan Fulton at 326-3765 or stop by the City of Bakersfield Economic and Community Development Department, 515 Truxtun Avenue. Please distribute and/or post the enclosed flyer announcing the meetings. I look forward to your attendance and input. I'm asking valued community members like you to help spread the work about this very importatnt endeavor. We can all contribute to the development of a community of opportunities. ;;¡¡¡;J;/ RECE~VED ~1994!

City Manager September 9, 1994 HAND DELIVERED Kern County Board of Supervisors 1115 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield, California 93301 Re: Western Rosedale Specific Plan ".- Dear Boardmembers: I have been directed by the Bakersfield City Council to forward these comments to you on the Western Rosedale Specific Plan. The City of Bakersfield is cognizant of the need for orderly growth in the Bakersfield metropolitan area. We are, however, writing to voice the City's objections to certification of the Environmental Impact Report for the Western Rosedale Specific Plan. The EIR, and the response to comments, is inadequate. It fails to address a vast number of significant environmental impacts of the Plan, or suggest sufficient mitigation for those significant. impacts that are identified. There are significant environmental impacts identified in the draft EIR for which no or less than sufficient mitigation measures are proposed, namely: traffic, lack of adequate water resources and continuation of the overdrafting of the water basin, alr pollution, lack of adequate sewage disposal resources, consumption of prime agriculture land and creation of urban sprawl, all as more particularly described below. Pursuant to Section 21090 of the Public Resources Code, the Board must evaluate and respond to all the environmental comments on the DEIR it receives within the public review period. Of those comments sent by the City of Bakersfield, as well as numerous other commentators, no response was given at all. It is mandatory that you specifically explain your reasons for rejecting suggestions received in comments and for proceeding with the project despite its environmental impacts. Such explanations must be factual, and must be supported with specific references to empirical information, scientific authority, and/or explanatory information. The responses, moreover, must manifest a good faith, reasoned analysis; conclusory statements unsupported by factual information will not suffice. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15088(b); Sierra Club v.

City Manager's Office. 1501 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield. California. 93301 ,~~-, ~~r ~-_. ~." ,~~-, ~~-~. r- ------ - - Letter to Kern County Board of Supervisors Re: Western Rosedale specific Plan September 9, 1994 Page 2 Your ErR is inadequate specifically because of the deferral of many responses to the Board for their resolution. Since an EIR consists of the original draft environmental evaluation and the responses to comments, one of the most glaring inadequacies of this environmental document is the non-response to comments in the "Response to Comments Draft Environmental Impact Report for Western Rosedale Specific plan" dated July 1994. There are approximately 60 comments which are responded to by the ':.' following: "This comment is acknowledged, included in the official record of the proposed project, and will be forwarded to the Kern County Board of Supervisors for their review and consideration." As a result, we must wait for the Board of Supervisors to review each of the comments and inform the public as to the response before there is a complete environmental document for review. Those are listed as follows: Page 5 - #1.3, #1.5, #1.6 Page 82 - #21.13 Page 14 - #2.2, #2.3 Page 88 - #23.4, #23.5 Page 30 - #5.1 Page 89 - #23.6 Page 31 - #5.5 Page 90 - #24.2 Page 39 - #8.6 Page 91 - #24.4, #24.5 Page 40 - #8.8 Page 92 - #25.1 Page 41 - #8.11 Page 93 - #25.2 Page 42 - #8.13 Page 94 - #25.3 Page 44 - #10.2, #10.3 Page 95 - #25.5 Page 45 - #10.5, #10.6 Page 96 - #26.1 Page 46 - #10.7 Page 103 - #27.16 Page 47 - #11.1, #11.2 Page 104 - #27.19 Page 48 - #11.4, #11.5 Page 110 - #27.29, #27.30, Page 49 - #11.6, #11. 7 #27.31 Page 50 - #11. 8, #11.9 Page 111 - #27.32, #27.33 Page 54 - #12.2 Page 113 - #27.38 Page 55 - #12.3, #12.4 Page 56 - #12.5, #12.6, #12.7, #12.8 Page 69 - #16.2 Page 70 - #16.4 Page 77 - #20. Page 78 - #21.1, #21. 2 Page 79 - #21.4 Page 80 - #21.6, #21.7 Page 81 - #21.10 ----------- - ----------- I ; I Letter to Kern County Board of Supervisors Re: Western Rosedale specific Plan september 9, 1994 Page 3 Additionally, both the plan and EIR need to be brought together in a coherent proposal and environmental analysis of that proposal. Initially, the Board of Supervisors in its role as Planning Commission should focus the hearing to a preferred plan, which then ought to be rewritten in a unified text with a new environmental impact report written for it and recirculated so that all interested parties, public agencies and the Board itself might better consider what it is proposed for adoptiou. There appear to be numerous amendments to the EIR and to the specific plan as a result of comments submitted to the County. Specifically, we would like to discuss specific responses to comments throughout the EIR: Page 4 - The thresholds for dual left-turn lanes at 300 vehicles per hour, right turn lanes at 200 vehicles per hour and added through lanes at 450 vehicles per hour must be adopted as standards, not simply referenced. Page 4 #1.2 - Deferring the solution for congestion relief to a project-by-project review is inappropriate because the plan tells property owners that they can anticipate development approval, but the first one of them to propose development will have to provide the congestion relief. Yet, the actual mitigation measures (the facilities and the cost) have not been specified in this plan. On the other hand, is it possible that you are permitting capacity to be consumed by the first few developers, and then imposing the burden of solving the problem on those who wish to develop later, or denying later projects altogether? Or do you intend to find that mitigation of the impacts of projects is I infeasible and approve them so we can all suffer the consequences .' of poor planning due to an inability to face the issue now as has occurred with subdivisions in the area for the past several years? The traffic section of the EIR study uses appropriate assumptions for the distribution and generation of traffic. It identifies traffic impacts of the various development scenarios and proposes some general mitigation policies. The mitigátion proposed does not fully mitigate all the traffic impact of development, even though buildout impacts may be less than could theoretically occur under the existing land use/zoning. Some of the buildout assumptions include freeways that may not be built at time of development and do not include alternate mitigation. -______n_- 0 Letter to Kern county Board of Supervisors Re: Western Rosedale Specific Plan september 9, 1994 Page 4 Stronger language must be incorporated to assure that traffic studies with specific impact mitigation be required as land is developed. This would then either confirm the general mitigation identified in the specific plan EIR or allow updated information to be used to mitigate upanticipated impacts. Page 8 #1.12 - The proposed change does not state how transit systems will be provided for, specifically their funding. Simply exploring funding of facilities does not provide for their future installation. Page 9 #1.14 - Here again, the solution to an area-wide problem is deferred to a project-by-project basis when it must be addressed on a specific plan basis since drainage problems could be better solved area-wide rather than project-by-project. Page 13 #2.1' - Adding a condition or requirement that developers fill out a questionnaire is not responsive to the comment about waste management. Page 18 #3.5 - If the adverse impacts of traffic cannot be mitigated, then the specific plan as a project cannot be adopted. The response to defer solutions to these problems ~s a disservice to the developers as well as to the general public who expected approval of this plan to solve the problems relative to development of the area. However, it leaves the solution to the first person to propose a development which would require identification of the project's pro-rata share of roadway construction and implies a requirement then to also identify all the needed improvements so that the pro-rata share can be determined. It also does not address the relationship between traffic impact fees that are collected and the requirements for traffic facilities that result from this plan. In a further discussion of traffic, the response discusses various alternatives to the proposed project. The first alternative No proiect/No Development alternative states that this does not meet the County's objectives for the proposed project. That raises the question: what document other than the plan for this area (the 2010 General Plan) adopted by the Board of Supervisors contains those objectives and why would they be different? This alternative does not provide for urban growth in this area but it would help preserve its rural character as shown in the general plan. The County has provided for more than reasonable urban growth in its adoption of their plans for McAllister Ranch, Pacificana, San Emidio, and Keene Ranch, all new towns in their own right. Letter to Kern County Board of Supervisors Re: Western Rosedale Specific Plan September 9, 1994 Page 5 The next alternative No Proiects/Development Under Existing General Plan alternative is noted as not realistic. If so, it must be amended to reflect the existing and expected development rather than remaining on the books as a liability or resource depending on your perspective. Development - At Alternative Location is rejected because you state that it is not technically feasible, environmentally super10r or within the County's objectives. However, this has already been done by the County with several other projects in the general plan area. Pages 29 and 30 - In response to concerns by the County Parks and Recreation Department and the North Bakersfield Recreation and Parks District that there 1S a lack of funding to develop parks, it is stated that the Quimby Act specifies the maximum amount of recreational land and fees which may be required of the developer. However, it also must be noted that the County does not require full park fees or dedication under the Quimby Act, nor 1S it noted that if the property were in the City of Bakersfield there would be a mechanism in place to provide for development of the dedicated lands. Page 36 concerns the lack of established water to support urban development. Although the plan expresses the County's good intentions, it must also require them to be done before development is approved. Page 38 #8.5 - The proposed plan would allow subdivisions with dry sewer lines and septic systems until and if a collection and treatment system becomes available. The availability of that treatment system is speculative and it may not be in place to serve the new development. Even if it were put into place, what is the mechanism to require a hookup to it? Moreover, the significant environmental impact of permitting thousands of new homes to be built with septic systems must be analyzed. This appears to violate the order of the Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding septic systems. Page 38 #9 - The requirement for sewer service must not be deleted as it removes the incentive for continued development of sewage systems to serve the planned growth. Further, to allow this amount of development to rely on septic systems poses severe threats of pollution to the groundwater supply. It must be noted that the plan area overlaps a portion of CSA 71, which the City agreed to serve with sewerage and treatment. That agreement was based on zoning in place at the time and was not intended to be used as carte blanche acceptance of any and all ; ; Letter to Kern County Board of Supervisors Re: Western Rosedale Specific Plan September 9, 1994 Page 6 projects which might be proposed. In fact, the agreement may be jeopardized if conditions exceed those anticipated at the time of execution. Page 48 #11. 3 - In response to concerns by the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control Center about lot size impact on air quality, it was stated that "market factors would ultimately determine the size and density of the future development in this plan area." If that is the case in the County, then drafting of this specific plan is an irrelevant exercise and fails to meet CEQA requirements. Air pollution impacts must be addressed and mitigated. Page 52 #12.1 - This response assumes that three freeways will be built during the buildout of the project and will result in maintaining a LOS of C, yet there is no mitigation measure to assure such freeway construction. Your response actually modifies policies to recognize the need for the facilities and adds policies to obtain right-of-way from adjacent development. It does not, however, appear to restrict development if those improvements are not in and operating. Additional requirements of traffic studies with each proposed development in the area to monitor the level of service must be included. If the LOS cannot be maintained at C or better, future development must be denied. Page 54 #12.2 - Our comment noted that it would be bad policy to approve a "new city" without the requirement for necessary traffic system improvements being in place with development. The response simply acknowledged the comment. No additional requirements were added to the policies. This is one of those many comments referred to the Board of Supervisors for its response. For that reason, we must restate our objection more strongly. The significant environmental impacts of the traffic to be generated by development pursuant to this plan must be mitigated before your Board may approve the proposed "new city." Page 55 #12.3 - Our comment noted that several major roads appear to need 10 to 14 lanes to handle the traffic generated and the need for as many as 48 new traffic signals. The DEIR indicated that this may be "economically infeasible." The response only acknowledges the comment and indicates it will be considered by the Board of Supervisors. A response to comment 3.5, regarding similar comments, also indicates that other alternatives may be considered by the Board. A clear requirement z 0 Letter to Kern County Board of Supervisors Re: Western Rosedale Specific Plan September 9, 1994 Page 7 for mitigation of all the identified impacts must be included for the project. Page 58 #14.2 - with so many outstanding issues unaddressed in the specific plan and in the environmental review, the Board of Supervisors is precluded from adopting the plan and environmental document due to their inadequacies. Page 76 #20.1 - The response rejects PG&E's request to show the proposed substation planned to serve the area. The location of substation and transmission lines is very important to people who live or plan to live near them. As you may recall during the last few years, the residents of Campus Park have been very upset by the installation of PG&E transmission lines and substation that they were unaware of. The area through which the transmission lines were run and substation established was annexed and the City assumed the brunt of criticism over it. It would seem the County's refusal to show similar facilities in this situation would just as easily be interpreted as withholding information from the public by not including it in a specific plan when it was known at the time the plan was being drafted. The installation of such substation and transmission line will cause significant environmental impacts which must be identified and mitigated in this plan. This cannot be done without disclosing the proposed location. Page 79 #21.3 - The proposed policy change would require agricultural conversion studies if land has been farmed within 12 months. This only establishes a loop hole which would allow the conversion by taking the land out of production for one year and does not address the issue of diminished agricultural lands. Furthermore studies do not constitute mitigation. The significant impact of destruction of prime agricultural land resources must be mitigated. Page 84 #22.1 - Referring to the Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan as a response to concerns expressed about migratory birds is inappropriate and does not address the issue nor provide adequate mitigation. Page 85 #22.2 - Concern about other birds and animals is not addressed by the Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan. Page 85 #22.4 - Again, a reference to the Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan is inappropriate for the concerns over light and glare which would result from the project and does not provide adequate mitigation. . 0 Letter to Kern county Board of Supervisors Re: Western Rosedale Specific Plan September 9, 1994 Page 8 Finally, regarding groundwater issues, the plan extensively calls on the use of groundwater as a water supply. Our principle concern is continued groundwater overdraft of the basin in unincorporated areas of the County. The groundwater basin in and around the Western Rosedale area 1.S, according to the California Department of Water Resources ( DWR), in critical groundwater overdraft. Ai though there is a trade-off on water consumption upon the conversion of agriculture to urban use, the groundwater overdraft condition J.s not mitigated, even with conservation and re-use measures taken into account. The plan should demonstrate that a balanced water supply is provided for 0 upon urbanization. It would be detrimental to the project and the surrounding lands if "will serve" letters were issued for development by purveyors who do not bring in or provide for a balanced long-term water supply. The County response to the City's concerns on a balanced water supply were not adequately addressed. In fact, the response is directed to the Kern County Water Agency comments/responses. The response to comments from the Kern County Water Agency were, for the most part, vague and seem to suggest that other agencies will somehow do the work of securing a long-term water supply. The new "Water Resource Policy Implementation Measures" suggests that: "The Kern County Board of Supervisors will formally request that the Kern County Water Agency either expand Improvement District #4 (ID4) or form a new improvement district. The purpose of such district expansion or formation would be to obtain (purchase) available surface water supplies that can be recharged within the Plan area in order to prevent further overdraft of underground water supplies." The City opposes the expansion of ID4 as the existing district need every drop of water that it can find within its èxisting State Water Project (SWP) allocation in order to meet the demands within the present district. Any attempt to form a new improvement district in the plan area should exclude any City areas, as the City is approaching a balanced water supply through its Kern River supplies, SWP allocations apportioned to the City within ID4, and the groundwater programs in the City's "2800 acres. " ----- ---------------------- --------- ~------ . Letter to Kern County Board of Supervisors Re: Western Rosedale Specific Plan September 9, 1994 Page 9 You also suggest as follows: "If the Kern County Water Agency is unable to expand Improvement District #4 (ID4) or form a new improvement district to obtain additional water, Kern County shall form a benefit assessment district within County Service Are 71 (CSA71) for the purpose of acting as a .water wholesaler. In this capacity, the Zone of Benefit shall purchase surface water supplies for the purpose of recharging the underground water supply." This is double-talk, as the KCWA water is, at this time, the only source Of "wholesale" water supplies from the SWP. A different entity having the same constituents and trying to do the same thing merely adds another layer of government and does not increase water availability. The "Response to Comments" document concedes that "the proposed project (Western Rosedale Plan) would require substantial water supplies to meet the needs of future project residents" ... and. .. "remains an unavoidable adverse impact." It then refers to the "Water Resource Policy Implementation Measures". This is an inadequate response, lacking specific plans of action for obtaining a long-term adequate water supply. The "Water Resource policy Implementation Measures" is also being modified to say: "All land divisions resulting 1.n more than four lots shall be served by a water company. capable of providing water treatment to the level required by the standards of the State of California. The formation of new water companies will not be permitted for such land divisions when located within one-half mile of an established water company having the capability of serving the project and of providing water treatment to the level required by the standards of the State of California." This does not answer the water supply questions. Nor does it give a specific plan of action to look for water. City comments on the Specific Plan stated, "It would be detrimental to the project and the surrounding lands (including the City) if "will serve" letters were issued for developments by purveyors who do not bring in or provide for a balanced long-term water supply." This is still true. -=:- ~ ç Letter to Kern County Board of Supervisors Re: Western Rosedale Specific Plan September 9, 1994 Page 10 It is clear that the issue of an adequate long-term (or for that matter, a short-term) water supply has not been addressed in the "Responses to Comments" on the Western Rosedale Specific Plan. It seems the approach is to see what others might be able to do, rather than attempting to come up with a solution yourselves. Moreover, financing of potential water supplies was left vague, using "Zones of Benefit" terminology, without specifics on how much water would cost and how it would effect the development if the project. Lastly, there is little mention of the water quality issue. Some reference is made to the KCWA concerns on the "entry of contaminants to ground water, " and throughout the responses there are inadequate answers to those water quality concerns. A typical response is "This comment is acknowledged, included in the official record of the proposed project, and will be forwarded to the Kern County Board of Supervisors for their review and consideration." This does riot answer the question or appease the concern. In conclusion, the City of Bakersfield opposes approval of the proposed Western Rosedale Specific Plan and also the certification of the EIR. The staff-recommended Western Rosedale Specific Plan and anyone of its many alternatives promotes urban sprawl, consumes agricultural land, contributes to air pollution and traffic congestion and has no confirmed water supply. We hope you will redraft the documents to deal effectively with our expressed concerns.
