MEMORANDUM
July 21, 2000
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER ~ 7-'b-,7,
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The work on the salary survey is done, and we will schedule a Personnel Committee
meeting as soon as the members' schedules allow.
2. A report on the status on the Development Streamlining Task Force, from John
Stinson, is enclosed. The final stages have drug on too long, so we will try to
expedite the wrap up.
3. The meeting schedule for the City Center Ad Hoc Committee is enclosed for your
information. Please note, this is a contingent schedule and may well be subject to
change.
4. The downtown streetscape expansion will be bid in August / September for
construction to begin in October.
5. KernCOG approved the negotiated water storage settlement last night regarding
Highway 58. It is good to resolve a once divisive issue.
6. Good news from the Legislature! Due to the passage of AB 2928, we are to receive
a one-time allocation of funds for street repair and maintenance, estimated to be
$1,662,464! The total of $400 million is to be divided 50~50 between cities and
counties. The attached correspondence from the League of California Cities shows
the amounts to be allocated to the cities in Assembly District 30. Our tentative
thoughts on our allocation are: $1 million for the Council resurfacing goal; $130,000
for the Truxtun West signal you received petitions on Wednesday; and the balance
for median upgrades. The timing of when the money arrives is not yet known. The
next four years we are to get around $800,000 per year.
7. The Fire Department has been awarded a $5,000 grant to be issued from the
"Albertson's Best Neighbor Initiative" program. The grant will be used to host a safety
and wellness fair for all age groups. The focus will be on targeted needs of the
community, including fire safety, nutrition, child safety seats, senior programs, bicycle
safety. More information will be forthcoming.

8. At the July 19th Council meeting, a citizens' petition was presented to request the
installation of a traffic signal at Truxtun Plaza West and Truxtun Avenue. Per the
enclosed memo from Public Works, the Traffic Engineer is aware that traffic volume
at that location has steadily increased and, as a result, it has steadily risen in priority
to the upper half of the list of warranted future signal locations. As mentioned in Item
#5, above, an opportunity to fund it has appeared.
9. Per my memo to you last week, I will be out of the office late Monday afternoon and
Tuesday to join the City Center developers on a tour of southern California sports
stadiums. On Thursday and Friday, I will be in San Diego to attend the Large Cities
Executive Forum in San Diego. It is an organization of chief executives of cities with
populations over 200,000. John Stinson will be in charge during my absence.
10. The Community Services Committee's recommendation is to place a hold on the ice
rink studies, pending progress on the recreational facility at City Center. It will appear
on the next Council agenda for consideration.
10. KernCOG received a $36 million bonus from the State. We are exploring the
possibility of getting the Fairfax interchange funded from that. It is on their project list.
White Lane is not, as it's funding source is transportation development fees. Fairfax,
if allowed, would have to come out of the 60% urban share and would have to cash
flow behind Highway 46 and 14. Nonetheless, inclusion of it would still speed that
project. The KernCOG board would have to vote it in.
11. Water Resources has provided the enclosed Water Balance Report, which contains
information on our extensive banking, recycling, and water conservation efforts.
12. The April - June Activity Report from the County for LEA regulated projects within the
City is enclosed.
13. Responses for requests from Councilmembers are enclosed, as follows:
Carson
· Provide a list of street light projects for FY 2000/01;
· Street sweeping schedules for the City are enclosed.
· Information on how the Chester streetscape was financed, regarding the potential
for streets for the southeast;
· Information on environmental clean up grants;
· Three years' capital improvements expenses are enclosed. Please recognize
certain projects, such as an $8 million sewer line, create something of a false

TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: John W. Stinso stant City Manager
SUBJECT: Status of Development Streamlining Task Force
The Development Streamlining Task Force conducted numerous meetings in the latter half of
1999 to address a large number of development related issues. A list of over thirty different
issues brought forward by the development industry (primarily CELSOC - the society of civil
engineers) and several from city staff were reviewed by the task force with some items involving
technical engineering issues and some involving more broad policy or legal conformance
questions. Since some of the technical questions more directly affected the engineering
community a technical subcommittee was created to address these issue and bring
recommendations to the task force. As of the last meeting of the task force there were several
technical issues which were not quite complete that were to be worked out and finalized by the
technical committee which included representatives from CELSOC. In addition staff was to
prepare a draft report to bring back to the task force to adopt before submitting it to the Urban
Development Committee and ultimately to the City Council for approval. 'The draft report is
essentially complete with the exception of several draft ordinances which are being drafted by the
City Attorney's Office to incorporate changes being recommended by the Task Force and
detailed specifics on several of the technical items which were sent to CELSOC for comment in
January by the Public Works Department. It is anticipated that the ordinances will be done
within the next week and we have been informed that the responses requested from CELSOC
will be available when Fred Porter returns from vacation August 1st. A meeting of the Task
Force will be scheduled for early August to review the Draft report to then. forward it to the
Urban Development Committee for their review.
A subsequent concern has surfaced by some members of the development community regarding
the recent review by the Planning Commission of some amendments to the Subdivision
Ordinance (Title 16). The Planning Department is recommending several amendments to the
Subdivision Ordinance which are clean-up in nature and also bring the ordinance in conformance
with state law. Planning staff was proceeding with these changes separately from those being
considered by the Development Streamlining Task Force since they were more routine in nature
and involved conformance with state law. The proposed amendment was sent to the
S:~JOHN~UrbanDev\StreamlineGroup\Updat e Memo.wpd
development community separately from the Development Streamlining process for their review
and comment. The BIA, CELSOC and other individuals submitted comments regarding the
proposed amendments to staff who incorporated them into the proposed changes which were
submitted to the Planning Commission for consideration. Public comments were also received at
the Planning Commission hearing on the amended ordinance.
I became aware that there was a concem by the development industry regarding the proposed
amendment subsequent to the Planning Commission review and contacted other staff involved in
that process to determine what the issues of concern could.be. After talking to staff, individuals
representing the development industry and reviewing the comments made by CELSOC and
others related to the proposed ordinance amendment, I tried to identify their concerns. It appears
that in addition to the changes recommended by staff, CELSOC would like to see a change in the
time (from 24 to 36 months) for expiration of map approval and a change of the time for (from
12 to 36 months) for vesting on approval of tentative maps. These issues were addressed within
the Development Streamlining Task Force and are included in the draft report for future
consideration by the Urban Development Committee and the Council. The Task Force is
recommending that the time change on the expiration of map approval be approved.. There was
not a consensus of agreement regarding the recommendation to extend the time for vesting on
approval of tentative maps between the development community and staff. Staff had concerns
due to fiscal impacts of that change and the fact that the Urban Development Committee had
recently addressed that issue and agreed to the current standard. However, staff did agree to bring
the development industry request to extend the time back to the Urban Development Committee
for their consideration as part of the draft report. The delay in getting this request back tothe
Committee for consideration appears to be part of the problem, however, there may be other
issues I am not completely aware of.
Because of these concerns, I will be including a review of the proposed subdivision ordinance.
changes (Title 16), when the Streamlining Task Force meets to review the draft report to make
sure we address any other issues related to the proposed changes. As mentioned above, staff is
proceeding with the finalization of the report with the assistance of CELSOC representatives, and
hopes to bring this matter to the Urban Development Committee very shortly. I have discussed
these concerns and the proposed time-line with the President of CELSOC and several other Task
Force members and they will be continuing to work with us to resolve any outstanding issues and
complete this project.

Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: AB 2928 (TorlaksonlFIorez). Transportation Funding.
Dear Assembly Member Dean Florez:
On behalf of the League of California Cities, we would like to take this opportun!ty to thank you for your
leadership in supporting new transportation revenues for cities.
We appreciate your hard Work and devotion, as the co-author of one of this year's most important
transportation budget trailer bills AB 2928, which provides funding for a $7 billion program over the next
six years. AB 2928 implements the Governor's Traffic Congestion and Relief Plan equivalent to $5.4
billion, including $4.99 billion for approximately 150 capital projects and $400 million one-time for local
street and road maintenance. The capital projects listed in the bill are funded through a one-time State
General Fund dedication of $1.6 billion in this year's budget and $678 million from a portion of the sales
tax on gas over the next five years. The remainder of the shift from the sales tax on gas for transportation
purposes is estimated to be approximately $300 million for the next five years, and to be divided as
follows: 40% to Local Streets and Roads, 40% to the STIP and 20% to transit (PTA).
The passage of this important legislation would not have been possible without your hard work and
dedication. The League has been advocating for additional monies for city streets and county roads
maintenance and rehabilitation for several years. Funding is the critical issue, as the backlog of repairs
on local streets and roads is approaching $11 billion and is growing by $400 million annually. We greatly
value your leadership and persistence in helping to address this important issue and your determination
to provide even more' revenues for maintenance of local streets and roads. We assure you that cities can
put this money to work immediately. We strongly urge your continued support for an ongoing dedication
of additional long-term revenues for cities and counties to stop further deterioration and improve
communities throughout California that are faced with pothole ridden streets and roads.
We respect and appreciate your leadership on this important issue and want to thank you for your strong
enthusiasm and dedication to California's cities.
Best regards,

DATE: July 20, 2000
SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO PETITION FOR NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT TRUXTUN
PLAZA WEST AND TRUXTUN AVENUE, WARD 5.
A recent petition is requesting that the City install a traffic signal at the intersection of
Truxtun Avenue at Truxtun Plaza West. Truxtun Plaza West is a short cul-de-sac street
south of Truxtun Avenue and located between Mohawk Street and Coffee Road. The short
street provides the only access to many medical offices and other office commercial
developments on the south side of Truxtun. The location was identified several years ago
as a potential traffic signal location.
The location meets several traffic volume warrants for a traffic signal. It first met warrants
when studied by the Traffic Engineer in January, 1997. Over the past few years, it has
risen in priority to the upper half of the Traffic Engineer's list of warranted future signal
locations and is now number 15 out of 38 locations needing traffic signals. Traffic volumes
on Truxtun continue to increase, making left turns in and out of this street very difficult.
Although the traffic accident history at this intersection is currently Iow, the increasing traffic
also increases the potential for more accidents. A traffic signal can resolve this problem
and improve access.
In the current budget year, seven locations are now funded and scheduled to have traffic
signals designed and constructed. The requested signal will cost about $130,000 for
design, equipment and construction, not including the cost for signal interconnection to
coordinate the signals. Since the location is on a high volume road with steadily increasing
traffic volume, the Traffic Engineer recommends that the signal for Truxtun at Truxtun
Plaza West be considered for inclusion in next year's Capital Improvement Projects list.

for recording purposes
Water supply for the City of Bakersfield is provided 'through both groundwater and surface
water. Each type of water supply has several sources.
· Natural Recharge · Kern River
· Canal Seepage ~ :~I~[~'~ · Central Valley Project
· Spreading Basins , State Water Project
· Reclaimed Water
8 roundwater
The City of Bakersfield rests above a series of water bearing
aquifers. These water bearing aquifers are part of the larger
groundwater basin called the Southern San Joaquin
Groundwater Basin.
The primary groundwater aquifer below Bakersfield is made
up of unconsolidated sediments. These sediments are
bordered by faults or mountain ridges to the east, west, and
south. These geologic features serve as effective barriers to
groundwater movement to or from these directions.
The goal for water resource management is to reach a
condition of "safe yield" for the groundwater basin. "Safe
yield" occurs when the amount of water pumped from the
basin is less than or equal to recharge into the basin.
Sources of recharge include:
[] Kern River channel
[] runoff,
[] canal seepage,
[] spreading/banking and
[] wastewater reclamation.
precip[tation runoff
Natural recharge is provided by precipitation runoff,
which is defined as the amount of melted snow and
rainwater measured after evaporation, evapotranspira-
tion, and percolation. Runoff from the Sierra Nevada
Mountains feeds the Kern River. Precipitation falling
within the City of Bakersfield may not reach the Kern
River. The City operates a series of drainage basins or
"sumps". Stormwater collected in these basins perco-
lates to the groundwater or evapotranspirates. An
average of about 24,000 acre-feet of this runoff occurs
yearly. This contributes about 12% to the City of
Bakersfield's total water supply.
river and
canal seepage
Canal seepage is defined as the amount of water that
percolates into the ground from earthen canals. When
added with seepage from the Kern River channel, it
contributes more than half the City's water supply at an
average of 54%, or about 106,000 acre-feet each year.
reda[reed water
Current and anticipated water shortages in the South-
western United States have caused recycled wastewater,
or reclaimed water, to be viewed as a valuable resource
in water supply. Effluent produced from the City's two
wastewater treatment plants is used in land application.
Land application of reclaimed water to non-edible crops
for irrigation is considered one of its most beneficial
uses, providing both water and nutrients to enhance
plant growth. The City of Bakersfield obtains about 10%
of its total water supply from reclaimed water, at an
average of 20,000 acre-feet per year.
6
Percolation of water spread in open basins has been historically used in Kern County as a means of
banking groundwater. The City owns and operates the 2800 Acre recharge facility used to replenish
water to the groundwater aquifers. It was included with the acquisition of Kern River water rights by
the City. This site is 6 miles long and includes old river channels, overflow lands, and constructed
spreading basins. It is located in and along the Kern River Channel approximately 8 miles west of
Highway 99. The facility receives surface water supplies during years when surpluses exist.
Sources include the Kern River, the Central Valley Project, and the State Water Project.

ZO-Year Operation 1977-1997
The groundwater is recharged in this facility by using spreading basins, which look like small
lakes surrounded by levees. The city began spreading water into the "2800 Acres" in 1978
through the use of one basin and a number of tempora~ embankments. Additional basins have
since been constructed, increasing the number of acres available for water spreading and
recharge. More than 1,000,000 acre-feet of water has been spread within the facility since its
inception.
The 2800 Acre recharge facility improves groundwater quality by recharging Iow salinity Kern River
water into the aquifers. This dilutes the more saline irrigation water that percolates underground
from adjacent farming operations. The underground reservoir can be pumped in dry years for
agricultural and domestic use. In wet years, the reservoir can be built up. This allows water to be
used without causing a groundwater overdraR problem.
The facility is a valuable resource to the Ci~ in providing a reliable water supply during dry years.
An average of 22,000 acre-feet of water is banked annually in the facility, which provides about
11% to the City's total water supply.

Water sources are usually categorized as either
groundwater or surface water. However, recharge

kern
The Kern River originates in the vicinity of Mount
Whitney. The river drains a 2,420 square mile area
in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. River water has
been sharply managed since the 1954 Army Corps
of Engineers construction of the Isabella Dam.
The primary purpose tot the dam is flood control;
however, the reservoir behind the dam provides
a key reserve. The usable capacity of the reservoir
is 568,075 acre-feet. The Kern River enters the San
Joaquin Valley through the Kern River Canyon. With
the exception of very wet years, there is no flow in the
river past Bakerstield due to upstream canal diversions.
During very wet years, water tlows in the river south-
west to Buena Vista Lake Bed and then north to Tulare
Lake or into the California Aqueduct Intertie near
Tupman.
As a result of the purchase of water rights from
Tenneco West, Inc., the City owns an average annual

historical water supply over the past twenty
years. The "treatment plant" category
represents the metered water supplies
from the Kern County Water Agency
(KCWA) and the California Water Service
Co. treatment plants. "Reclaimed water"
and "banking" values are similarly based
on metered flows. "Canal and river
seepage" and "runoff" are calculated
based on historical gauge readings and
precipitation records respectively.
These historical values show trends of
steadily increasing development of the
treated water supply and reclaimed water
spreading. The figure below also shows the
impact of a drought period on the available
supply.

Well production is the total amount of water pumped from municipal, purveyor, commercial,
and individual wells within the City. The City is currently provided water by the City's own
Ashe Water Company, the Vaughn Mutual Water Company, and the California Water Service
Company. Well production data is not available for Ashe Water before 1983. Therefore, for
the years 1977 through 1982, the well production for the Ashe Water Company was estimated
using an average acre-foot per customer. Also, the Vaughn Mutual Water Company only had
two wells producing in the City which began in 1994. Before this time, the Vaughn Mutual
Water Company had no wells within the city limits. The average well production is 58,138
acre-feet per year. Well production in 1995 was 75,789 acre-feet. The current well production
is increasing an average of 2,200 acre-feet per year.
The City has first priority to spread its water in the 2800 Acre Recharge Facility. However, the
City permits other water districts and agencies having surplus water to spread, percolate, and
later recover their own water in the 2800 Acres. At this time, the City has spreading and
extraction agreements with many districts and agencies. These extractions must be used in the
San Joaquin ValJey for irrigation, light commercial or industrial, and municipal or domestic
purposes. These extractions account for an average of 12,947 acre-feet per year.

Forecasting future water demand typically considers other factors in addition
to population growth. Overall water use tends to decrease over time as in-
creased emphasis is placed on both conservation and on recycling. The City
has developed a conservative water demand projection based on current usage
patterns. The projected water demand shown below is based on the current

Most water utilities in the arid Southwest have developed "Drought Manage-
ment Plans". These tools may include water usage restrictions, distribution
of water conservation devices such as Iow flow shower heads, and stringent
price controls. The City of Bakersfield's own planning includes such mea-
sures for prolonged drought conditions. However, the primary element of
the City's "drought management" plan is the banked groundwater. The

TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager .~'//9
FROM: Alan Christensen, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Report on a Proposed Southeast Streetscape and Beautification Project
Councilmember Carson asked for a report for the feasibility of having a streetscape beautification
project in the southeast similar to the one recently completed on Chester Avenue. The following
report outlines the work, timeline, and challenges associated with the Chester Avenue
Streetscape Project and the major issues related to the a similar project that might occur in
Southeast Bakersfield.
History of the Chester Avenue Streetscape Project
On January 1, 1994, Assembly Bill 1290 (AB 1290) went into effect. This legislation required
redevelopment agencies to adopt implementation plans. On August 1, 1994, the CDDA contracted
with the Natelson Company to prepare the implementation plan and a Market Potential Analysis of
the Downtown. The goals and objective of the implementation plan were developed from the results
of the market study. To achieve the goals and objectives of the implementation plan, one of the
suggested blight eliminating programs the CDDA proposed was to undertake the preservation and
enhancement of the streetscape within downtown commercial areas.
On January 20, 1995, out of the approximately 150 Requests for Qualification sent, 20 design firms
responded. Based on the qualifications submitted all 20 firms were sent Requests for Proposals.
On April 10, 1995, the CDDA retained Urban Design Studio. The scope of work consisted of
seven major tasks:
· inventory and analysis for the Chester Avenue "area," including 17th, 18th and 19~ streets;
· streetscape components' palette;
· schematic streetscape concepts;
· public signage concepts;
· funding sources and implementation strategies;
· public participation; and
· draft and final report (Chester Avenue Streetscape Master Plan).
Urban Design Studio held four public meetings, two workshops, three open houses and a walking
tour. Attached is a chronology of the public participation activities for the Chester Avenue
Streetscape Project.
After receiving overwhelming community support for the initial concept plan, in 1996 the CDDA
retained Lawrence Moss and Associates. Their work included the fmal design and development of
plans, specifications and cost estimates, bidding assistance, and construction observation.
Project Financing
Numerous obstacles had to be overcome to successfully complete the streetscape. The first major
obstacle was to secure funding. Engineer construction costs estimates were $1.8 million, however,
the actual construction contract was bid out at $2.5 million. An additional $700,000 which had not
been budgeted had to be secured.
Complete financing took approximately two years to secure and included the following financing
sources:
· Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) $623,000;
· Environmental Enhancement Mitigation Grant Program $250,000 (First grant request was
denied. Second year grant request was approved);
· Community Development Block Grant funds $890,000;
Central District Development Agency $448,000;
· City General Fund $60,000; and
miscellaneous city funds $256,000.
Additionally, the city contributed three years of staff time which involved project coordination and
engineering. City staff contributed a substantial amount of time coordinating and administering the
project from its concept stage to completion, establishing a maintenance assessment district and
submitting grant applications.
The CDDA took the lead in creating a visiOn for the streetscape project. While the city agreed to
pay for the improvements, the property owners agreed to borne the cost of a maintenance district.
Together, public and private property owners assembled a proactive public/private partnership
paying for the maintenance costs of this enterprising urban design program. This cooperative
effort involved many players including the Bakersfield City Council, the County of Kern, the
Downtown Business and Property Owners Association, Kern Community College District, Kern
County Superintendent of Schools, Golden Empire Transit and approximately 90 property and
business owners.
As a group these entities agreed to pay for the long-term maintenance of the proposed
improvements when they approved the Chester Avenue Maintenance District. What was truly
unique was the voluntary participation by public agencies including the County of Kern,
Community College District, Kern County Superintendent of Schools and Golden Empire Transit,
demonstrating their ongoing support of the project. Classified as a Tier 4, the annual maintenance
district assessments for the Chester Avenue Streetscape range between $890 and $1 ! per parcel. As
a comparison, the Union Avenue maintenance district costs are a flat rates of $69 per parcel per year.
Construction plans were completed and put out to bid in May 1997. Granite Construction was
awarded the hardscape portion of the contract and Elite Landscaping won the landscaping and
irrigation contract. Projected project completion was February 1998. However, due to the
consequences of El Nino, the project was finished in May 1998.
Issues Related to Southeast Streetscape Project
Some of the issues and challenges to consider in developing a streetscape in the southeast
redevelopment project area include the following:
Financing
Since project area adoption, June 30, 1999 the project areas have not yet collected tax increment
revenues. This is scheduled to occur sometime in October 2000. Based on preliminary estimates
net tax increments in the Southeast RPA are projected at $102,000 and projection of the Old
Town Kern Pioneer is $100,000.
TE grant applications will be accepted in 2003-04 depending on availability of federal funding.
Competition is county wide. Environmental Enhancement Mitigation grant applications are
accepted annually depending on state funding sources. The city's experience with this funding
source has been that the first year's grant application has been denied and the second year
application has been approved. To be eligible for consideration, each environmental
enhancement and mitigation project must be directly or indirectly related to the environmental
impact of modifying an existing transportation facility or constructing a new transportation
facility. For purposes of this grant a transportation facility is defined as a public street, highway,
mass transit guideway or their appurtenant features( e.g., park-and-ride facilities, high-occupancy
vehicle lanes, transit stations).
Location
A key element of the success for the Chester Avenue Streetscape is its location and the community
support for the project. There were businesses in the downtown that would be enhanced by the
streetscape. Prior to the city committing to construct the streetscape the property owners were asked
to and did approve the Chester Avenue Maintenance District.
In addition to being the main pedestrian oriented boulevard in the Downtown Bakersfield RPA,
Chester Avenue classified as an arterial, is an integral part of Bakersfield's transportation system.
It provides access to many professional businesses, several large financial institutions, federal,
county and local government offices, and the sports arena/convention center/hotel complex.
Chester Avenue is a major north/south thoroughfare used by pedestrians and motorists on their
way to the downtown, passing through the downtown, or using the GET transfer station. It also
links to more than 22 miles of interconnecting bike lanes along the Kern River.
Community Participation
The streetscape was made possible through a broad based downtown community support system.
This proactive public/private partnership was made possible through the participation of the City,
the County, the Downtown Business and Property Owners Association, and all of the property
owners and business owners. This same type of cohesive community support would be needed to
develop a streetscape in the southeast project area.
Summary
This report represents a sampling of some the issues and challenges managed prior to the
construction of the Chester Avenue Streetscape. Staff foresees every project to be different with
its own unique set of circumstances dependent on issues such as design, financing, time frame
and future maintenance. A streetscape and beautification project in Southeast Bakersfield would
be equally unique.

TO: Alan Christensen, Assistant City Manager~.~.,
FROM: Donna Barnes, Development Associate~t~
SUBJECT: Federal Brownfield Programs
Based on a conference I recently attended I obtained the following information about
Brownfields.
Brownfields are defined as large, abandoned or underutilized, industrial and commercial
properties where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived
environmental contamination. Contaminated properties, usually subject to many
environmental regulations and procedures, are very expensive to develop, and are vulnerable to
construction delays.
In 1991 redevelopment agencies were given the authority to assist private developers with toxic
remediation. This has allowed local governments to view the redevelopment of brownfields as a
unique opportunity to solve the many problems associated with redevelopment project areas.
Brownfield redevelopment offers a cost-effective approach to encouraging economic
revitalization.
The federal government has created an array of programs and resources to help cleanup and reuse
brownfield sites. More than twenty agencies exchange information and coordinate activities in
support of local brownfield cleanup efforts. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has been the most active federal agency in promoting the redevelopment of
brownfields and other underutilized contaminated properties. The Brownfields Action agenda is
divided into four broad overlapping categories: brownfield pilots; clarification of liability and
cleanup issues; partnerships and outreach, and job development and training.
Currently staff has not identified any potential brownfield sites in the southeast area. Therefore,
we are precluded from submitting any grant applications at this time.

dependent on zoning and proximity to dwelling use. If in a State recognized oil field, zoning is irrelevant
.and drilling allowed.
Outside City but Within Sphere of Influence- DI (drilling island) and PE (petroleum extraction) zoning can
be applied when the area is annexed to allow unrestricted drilling without a permit subject to development
standards. Unrestricted drilling also applies in A, M2, and M3 zone districts.
If Oxy gives us a map I would be happy to provide them with a tailored answer. Let me know if you want
copies of these ordinances for them or need more or different info. THANKS.
