EXEcuTIVE OFFICER'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS
If you vote yes on measure A, and the majority of your neighbors, who vote, do the
same, the subdivision known as Belsara will be annexed to both the City of Bakersfield and '
the NOR Sanitary District (sewer). Most of the government services you receive and
responsibilities you share will not change. Several property related local services will
change. The annual per lot cost to owners will be:
· Street lighting- decrease fi:om $50.00 to $0.
· Sewer- decrease fi:om $130.00 to $126.00
· Street sweeping- decrease fi:om $10.00 to$0
· Storm Drainage- decrease fi:om $25.00 to $0
· Landscaping/walls- decrease fi:om$171.00 to$69.00
· Refuse collection- increase from $142.00 to $144.00
If you vote no on measure A, and the majority of your neighbors, who vote, do the
same, the subdivision known as Belsara will remain outside the City of Bakersfield and the
NOR Sanitary District. Most Governmental services will remain the same. Several property
related services will change. The annual per lot cost to owners will be:
· Street lighting- increase fi:om $0 to $50.00
· Sewer- increase fi:om $126.00 to $130.00
· Street sweeping- increase from $0 to$10.00
· Storm Drainagez increase fi:om $0 to $25.00
· Landscaping/walls- increase from$69.00to$171.00
· Refuse collection- decrease fi:om $144 to $142
Kern County provides your property related services and has not yet charged for
them. The Board of Supervisors has agreed that all those services listed above except refuse
collection are special services extended to your neighborhood. The Board has also agreed
that, unless you annex to the City of Bakersfield and the NOR Sanitary District, you will be
charged for them starting in 2003.
The amounts listed above are budget estimates from county and city and NOR staff.

Subject: Intersection Selections for ~od Light Cameras
In June, Bodflox Traffic Systems, Inc. conducted video su~oys of tho intersections tho
previously identified as potential candidates for red Ii~ht camera onfomomont.
Phase One Intersections are: Bernard & Oswoll, Beale & Niles, Beale & Monterey,
Brunda~o & Chester, Chester & California, Truxtun & Coffee, Min~ & Stine, Min~ & SB99
Off-~ampsNalloy Plaza and Min~ & Wiblo. As a result of their su~oy, Bodflox has
identified tho followin~ six intersections and ton approaches as boin~ tho most suitable,
based on su~eyod rod light violations, for rod light camera installation:
Intersection # Approaches Daily Traffic Accidents
Volume 1 988-2001
Chester & Brundage 2 N/B lanes 21,700 42
Ming & Wible 2 E/B lanes 64,300 32
Bernard & Oswell 2 N/B lanes 38,800 21
3 S/B lanes
Coffee & Truxtun 3 S/B lanes 57,000 7
2 S/B L/T lanes
Ming & SR99Nalley Plaza 3 E/B lanes 47,500 22
3 W/B lanes
Ming & Stine 3 E/B lanes 45,000 21
3 W/B lanes
All of these intersections, except Coffee and Truxtun, are among the top fifteen
intersections in the City with regard to collisions where a red light violation was the primary
collision factor. Coffee and Truxtun had the highest incidence of videoed violations with
eleven in a one-half hour period. Ming and Stine had the fewest violations and I have
asked Redflex to resurvey that intersection prior to camera installation.
Intersection Selections for Red Light Cameras
July 30, 2002
Page 2
Redflex is requesting engineering drawings for the listed intersections so they can prOceed
with the next phase of the project. When asked if they would put their recommendation to
place cameras at the listed intersections in either a letter or memorandum to the City, they
were reluctant to do so based on the recent California State Audit entitled "Red Light
Camera Programs: Although They Have Contributed to a Reduction in Accidents,
Operational Weaknesses Still Exist at the Local LeveL" Redflex felt that the decision to
place the cameras should be the City of Bakersfield's based upon accident and/or violation
history along with their survey results.
I recommend that we proceed with the project and designate the listed intersections as our
choices to receive the red light cameras. Ming and Stine will be last to receive cameras and
only then if the new survey warrants them. An alternate site, perhaps a Phase Two
Intersection, could be selected if the Ming and Stine survey falls short of our expectations.
Many intersections thought to be ideal for red light camera installations, especially those
that experience left turn violations, were deemed unacceptable due to their size,
configuration and lack of medians required for left turn cameras.
I have attached copies of the Redflex Survey and my June 5, 2002 memorandum for your
information.

Date: June 5, 2002
Subject: Intersection Selection for Red Light Cameras Follow-up
In our negotiations with Redflex Traffic Systems it was discussed that installation of our
system would be done in two phases. Phase One includes six intersections with twelve
approaches. Phase Two is optional and includes four additional intersections with eight
approaches. An approach is comprised of two camera boxes, one for facial photographs
and one to photograph the rear license plate of the violator's vehicle.
Possible selections for the two phases are as follows:
Phase One Intersections: Phase Two Intersections:
Bernard @ Oswell Stockdale @ Gosford/Coffee
Beale @ Niles Ming @ Gosford
Beale @ Monterey Ming @ New Stine
Brundage @ Chester Baker @ Truxtun
Chester @ California
Truxtun @ Coffee
Ming @ Stine
Ming @ Valley Plaza SR 99 Ramps
Ming @ Wible
As indicated in my initial memorandum, Redflex representatives performed site surveys on
those intersections within the City known to have a incidence of red light accidents,
reputations for a high numbers of red light violations and/or large daily traffic volumes that
would warrant camera enforcement. During the site visits Redflex Construction Manager
Carlie Bowmer used the following criteria to determine an intersection's suitability for red
light camera enforcement. He e-mailed the following:
':-¥' ~ Intersection Selection for Red Light Cameras
June 5, 2002
Page 2
"My initial site survey was to rule out any approaches due to intersection
geometry that would result in poor system performance. The parameters
are:
1. Left turns require 3' wide center medians for both camera locations;
2. Straight through approaches need to be maximum three lanes with no
dedicated right turn or bus bays;
3. Camera poles need to be located 30" from front face of curb. Sidewalks
must be wide enough to conform to ADA;
4. There must be no obstructions in front of cameras (trees, power poles,
signs, etc.);
5. Cameras cannot be located within driveways (main cameras are positioned 75-
80' back from stop bar);
6. Large/wide intersections are difficult to illuminate."
As for those intersections that were labeled "possible," Mr. Bowmer offers the following
from his notes:
California/Mohawk - SB Straight possible, small medians, bad NB curve.
California/Oak - No left turns, small or no medians, SB & EB dedicated right
turn lanes, big/wide intersection.
Truxtun/Oak - No left turns, no medians, straight through only.
California/Stockdale/New Stine - Possible 3 EB Straight, no left turns,
medians too small, driveway cuts, huge/wide intersection.
Since the above intersections were identified as problematic and Stockdale Highway @
Coffee/Gosford Road; Ming Avenue @ Gosford Road, and Ming @ New Stine Road were
due for reconstruction soon, it was decided to move forward and video survey the
intersections I identified in my first memorandum or the Phase One intersections listed
above. The video surveys will better determine the suitability of each of the intersections
for red light camera enforcement.
As we move forward, if any or all of the intersections due for reconstruction are completed,
we will video survey them and include them in Phase One of the project as possible
locations. If the six intersections in Phase One of the red light camera installation are
completed before the reconstruction is finished, then we have the option of installing
cameras at those locations identified as Phase Two intersections at a later time.

SUBJECT: WESTSlDE PARKWAY
Staff has been continuing to progress with the Westside Parkway Project. The Federal
approval that allows access to the funds the CTC allocated last month for the
acquisition of right-of-way for the project has been received. You may recall we
received this same Federal approval for the environmental document portion of the
funding last week. This means staff time charged to the project from now on will be
reimbursed with Federal funds, that consultants can now be hired for environmental and
right of way work and paid for with these funds, and that right-of-way along the
alignment can now be purchased (after going through the appropriate processes) using
these funds.
Caltrans has completed much preliminary environmental work on the project and has
prepared an initial environmental report called a Tier I Environmental Document, This
Tier I document allows.the City to acquire right of way for the project. However, before
the project can proceed to preparation of construction plans, a more detailed Tier II
Environmental Document must be prepared and approved. Staff issued an RFQ/P last
month for this work. Three teams were interviewed this past week for completing the
Tier II document. The selection committee consisted of staff from the City, County,
KernCOG, Caltrans, and Luster (the initial project PM). The committee unanimously
selected URS Corporation, the firm that lead the Bakersfield Systems Study, to
complete the Tier II Environmental Document.
In accordance with Federal contract guidelines, staff is now negotiating a price with
URS for this work (approximately $2 million), and is initiating the Federal process to
allow award of a contract to URS. It is currently planned to award this contract at the
September 4th City Co~Jncil meeting.
The preparation and approval of the Tier II Environmental Document is anticipated to
take approximately 22 months.

Subject: Wall Street Alley Reconstruction Project
Update Report
This project was awarded to Schweitzer Construction at the July 10, 2002 Council Meeting for
$225,127.75 with a 60 day completion schedule. After the award of the contract, PG&E informed staff
they had previously incorrectly described the location of their facilities. Formerly they had indicated
all facilities were below 30" and therefore would not conflict with the proposed construction. PG&E
then informed staff that some of their facilities were only down 10" which would conflict with.
construction and that it would take them up to ten (10) weeks to lower their facilities which would delay
the project until after Thanksgiving.
Staff had a meeting on July 31,2002 with representatives of PG&E and the contractor to develop a
new construction schedule for this project. At that meeting PG&E indicated they could start lowering
their gas and electric facilities on August 19, 2002. Based upon this commitment from PG&E we have
developed the following construction schedule:
Schweitzer Construction will remove existing pavement, sidewalk, curb and gutter during the
· week of August 5th.
Cai Water and Pac Bell will complete lowering their facilities during the week of August 12th.
PG&E will lower their facilities during the weeks of August 19th & 26th.
Schweitzer Construction will start construction of alley improvements on September 3, 2002
with a new completion date of October 23, 2002.
The contract award for this project was well under our engineer's estimate. With this new construction
schedule, the contractor will have only 43 working days to complete the project. All parties have
agreed to work together to compete this project within the new schedule. Any additional cost will be
minimal and will proceed through our standard process for approval.

Market Research and Development Feasibility
For Commercial Parcel on California Avenue and' Robinson Street

Executive Summary
Th9 Housing Authority of Kcm CoUnty owns a 2.9-acre site on the south side .of East
Callfomia Avenue near downtown Bakersfield, California. The property has a C-2
zoning classification, the commercial zoning category that provides, for intense
development. This analysis addresses the best use of the property.
Since the mid-1990's property in this part of the City has been declining in value. The
City recently approved a P,.edevelopment Plan for the Southeast Redevelopment Project
Area, a large section of the City that includes at its northern boundary portions of East
and West California Avenue. The adopted plan will certainly help .the southeast sector of
the city.but this will' require a very long-term approach.
The one-mile population around, the site has a large Hispanic majority -- three-fourths of
the residents (76.3%). The black population (19.4%) is the minority in this area. The
close-in population (within one-mile of the site) grew rapidly in the 19g0s and 90s.
Large household size, 3.54 persons per household, and Iow incomes characterize the area.
While there is an obvious retail need and deficiency in this area, a gap estimated at
60,000 square feet, the site would make a poor choice for a grocery complex. Even a
small store format would not be successful at this location unless it served the Hispanic
population that represents the majority in the area. In fact the Mercado already serves
that population and will itself face competition from another Latin-oriented market
proposed a mile to the east. Instead' of promoting a retail complex at this location, the
neighborhood would do well to endorse the commercial center proposed for development
at the Union Avenue/Old Bakersfield Inn site, less than a mile to the west ....
. We can see market support for a small commercial plaza that integrates office, day care,
and some retail uses. An optimum combination of uses would include the following:
· Legal Services.
· Training Center/Job Referral Office.
· ..Day Care Center.
· . ;,ClinicJMedical Center.
· ~i~estaurant
The City Should help in project implementation in various ways, including site
acquisition funds, job creation grants, and tax abaiement for the value of the private
improvements, depending on the development approach. The City's participation would
seem to be justified by t. he fact that development of this type would constitute a
breakthrough for development on East California Avenue, and would support a public
purpose.
There are other ways in which the site could be developed, with marginal commercial
uses and development subsidies. However, none oftl~e alternatives has good prospects
for long-term stability and the potential to create a new look on East California Avenue.
1. Site and'Location
The Property
The Housing Authority of Kern County site-is a vacant property' of approximately 2.9
acres (roughly 140 x 900 feet) on the south side of East Califo .rNa Avenue between
Owens and Robinson Streets, near downtown Bakersfield, California.
It is bounded on the east by Martin Luther King; Jr. Park, on the west by other
commercial properties, and on the south by a public housing complex slated for
redevelopment under HUD's Hope 1 Program. There are stores and mixed commercial
development across East California Avenue.
The property has a C-2 zoning classification, the commercial zoning category that
provides for intense development,, including malls and large stores, restaurants, offices
and office complexes, day care centers, and other commercial and institutional uses.
Location
Figure 1 on the next page shows the location of the site in relauon to the City of
Bakersfield and the su.rroundiug area. The map indicates the-following:
· The site is approximately a mile east of the central business district.
· The main north-south artery is Union Avenue, ~which separates the Central
Business District from the southeast quadrant.
· ' Interstate 99 is a strong north-south divider. New residential and commercial
development in Bakersfield has taken place almost exclusively west of this
corridor.
· The Southern Pacific Company rail right-of-way is a significant market
boundary that constrains north-south movement in the. City.
History
In 1995 the Housing AuthOrity purchased the property from a private owner. In 1996, a
community group proposed development of a commercial complex on the site. The site
plan then identified a range of uses within a Concept called "The Oasis Open Market
Place." The plan shows a daycare center, food co-op, fast food' chain, and other retail
space and services situated parallel to East California Avenue. The community, group did
not'have a contract with the Housing Authority and later withdrew the proposal because
of its involvement in other projects.
Traffic
The 1995-1999 traffic counts (Exhibit 14) in the vicinity of the site provide some
information relative to.development:
· Traffic on East California in the immediate area has declined in the period
shown, in contrast to city, regional, and national'traffic trends. -
2
· A parallel decline has occurred on Union Avenue south of California Avenue,
although Union Avenue remains a major artery.
· Lakeview Avenue south of California has also declined in traffic 9olumes.

While the reduced traffic may be good from a neighborhood Perspective, it is not
favorable in connection With potential commercial development. The City's
Development Director seemed somewhat surprised at the numbers and the trends, and
could offer no explanation.
?
Redevelopment Plan
The'vehicle Counts reflect declining movement in the southeastern sector of'the City.
They are an indication of' a disinvestment trend, something that the appearance of the area
':confirms. The Hope 1 project is one of the few positive signs in this part of the City.
3Since the mid-1990s property in this part of the City has been declining i'n Value,
according to a recent analysis, occasioning the need for an a~ea-wide redevelopment plan.
The City recently approved a Redevelopment Plan for the Southeast Redevelopment
Project Area, 'a large section of the City that includes at its northern boundary portions of
East and West California AVenue. The purpose of'the redevelopment effort is to improve
the physical appearance of the area through new construction, rehabilitation, .and
infrastructure .improvements. The Plan identifies the Housing Authority site as one of
many "properties necessary for effective development," although it provides no specific
recommendation for the site. The Plan proposes improvements throughout the area with
a total cost of $329 million. It shows projections of income of $299 million over the 45
year plan framework. The adopted plan will certainly help the southeast sector of the city
but this will require a very long-term approach.
2. Market Area Demographics
Bakersfield has experienced phenomenal growth over the past two decadeSl more' than
t-wi.ce the rate in the U.S. as a whole.
Exhibit 2-1 compares the 1- and 3-mile populations (by distance fi-om the Housing
Authority site) with those of the City and the nation.
The close-in population (within one-mile of the site) has some unique features:
* 'Rapid growth in the 1980s and 90s: the growth rates of the City are higher as a
whole but probably reflect the impact.of annexation. In the immediate market
area, the. growth reflects increased population.
· Large household size, 3.54 persons per household, much larger than the C~ity and
national figures.

The close-in study area h~ a concentration of poor households, indicated by ki~er
proportions of households with a~nual incomes under $:25,000. The ~ea has a very small
group of households in middle-income brackets.
In summary, the close-in population (within a mile from the site) is a growing Hispani:
Iow-income population residing in relatively large households.
3. Real Estate Market Issues
Framework
B~ersfield is a dynamic real estate market with a weak but improving central business
district. Most new growth in 'the .1990's has taken place'to the west and southwest of the
center. A~ a general frame of reference brokers divide the commercial market in the city
into six sub sectors: four geograpkic quadrants plus the CBD and University Center. The
Housing Authority site is in the Southeast. Tkis analysis focuses on grocery and related
retail development, a type of development best evaluated in relation to neighborhoods
and demographic markets.
Grocery and Neighborhood Retail
There a.re no major chain grocers in the core area around the site, which Constitutes a
group of neighborhoods.that might be described as "near Southe/st."
Figure 2 on the following page shows the location of supermarkets in and around this
area. The closegt grocery store of note near the core area is the Mercado Latino (Number
2 'on Figure2), a.complex of grocery, clothing, and other retail goods, and services, plus
restaurants and entertainment, located on Edison Highway at Mears Street. The unusual
market has a total size of approximately 40,000 square feet and sells $1 M or more in
groceries monthly. The Mercado has been an outstanding success. Now another,
similarly oriented market (the Vailarta Store, Number 14 on Figure 2) has been approved
at Nile and Fairfax AvenueS, about two miles from the site. All the other major
supermarkets in. the area are located northeast and west of the site.
There is a relatively small grocery, The Green Frog, located on Bernard near Union.
Some in the area regard this type of store as a candidate for development at the East
California Avenue Site. There is also a well-kn°wn grocery, Denny's Market, on
Lakeview Avenue. One other neighborhood grocery, a convenience store on East
California Avenue, closed recently and the property is now up for sale.

Office Market
For the office market there are just three geograph/c, sectors: the Southwest, University
Center, and Central-Sub markets. Total space is 6.4 MSF and'overall occupancy is
86.6% l~xh.ibii 3-2). The occupancy, rate is highest in the UNversity Center sub markets
(99.7%), and lowest in the Southwest (78.2%). There is a total of 862,000 SF of space
available. Le,_se rates for class "A" space in the primary university' sub market are in the
$1.75-1.85 range/SF range' (plus utilities). At the other end of the spectrum, older'Clasq:':.

BrOkers do not track office space in Southeast or East Bakersfield except space that might
be included in the Central sub markets. There appears to be no significant development
of office space east of Union and south of the Southern Pacific tracks.
Proposed Development
There are two major plans in the redevelopment area that bear on what could be done at
the Housing Authority site.
There is a proposal and plan to redevelop a former motel site near the intersection of
Union and East California Avenue, less than a mile from the site. It is expected that the
supermarket would be a modern .full-service store. While we could not obtain
information on size, one would expect a 50,000o60,000 square-foot store at this type of
~ location:. This site has excellent street traffic and accessibility as well as proximity to the
neighborhood and central business district.
The second proposed project that could affect the southeast quadrant is a complex called
the Bakersfield City Center. The concept plan encompasses redevdopment of 38 acres
(yet to be purchased) and the creation of a downtown mixed-use center with retail stores
(18,000 square feet), a 16-screen theater, baseball stadium, sports cafe, restaurant
complex (20;000 square feet), community recreational facility, and senior housing center.
While this project seems to have momentum, there are complicated acquisition and
development issues that still need to be worked out. City officials are confident but some
local brokers are skeptical that this project will proceed. If it does, it should help the
image of the southeast sector - even if it has only a minimal impact on East California
Avenue.
· . Market Need.
The grocery-related market in the core'area can be estimated in the following way:
·Area income (households times household income): $103 million.
"Spendable" income (at 88%'of'above): $90.5 million.
·Grocery and miscellaneous retail potential (at 18% of above): $16.3 million.
· . "Supportable" square footage at $275/SF: 59,200 SF.
These calculations indicate that the retail gap associated with grocery and related
convenient retailing is sign/:ficant in the core area, enough to support a smai! shopping
· center. Now shoppers leave the immediate area for the Mercado or other stores to the
northeast or the west, or they rely heavily on smaller markets along California Avenue.
and Lakeview Avenue.
Conclusion
In spite of the .obvious need and deficiency in this area, the Housing Authority site would
make a poor choice to fill the gap, for reasons discussed below. The proposed grocery
site on Union Avenue, 'while not certain to proceed, offers much better prospects because
of size, location and accessibility. The small store format as exemplified by the Green
Frog would not be successful at the Housing Authority site unless it served the Hispanic
market population that represents the majority in the area. In fact the Mercado already
· _/,:. serves that population and will itself face competition from another Latin-oriented
" market, the Vallarta, proposed a rr',.ile to the east.
4. Discussion of Potential Uses.and Implementation
The supermarket/grocery store concept as' the. anchor of a small shopping center is not
workable at this location, in our vieW:
· '- Lo'cai market population is divided between Hispanic and African-American---it
is very difficult to support the needs of both populations, and the majority
Hispanic population is already well served by a nearby market.
· Street traffic has been declining. Trends in the area have been negative. Closures
('Blockbuster) and bankruptcies (Vernon Strong) will affect near-term'interest and
.prospects.
· '"'The size of the site constrains design and limits effective use of the site.
· The prospects for a successful grocery and service retail center are much better at
the site on Union Avenue for which this type of development has been proposed.
It may take years to make the Southeast quadrant a place where'developers will want to
take on new projects, although there is an underserved market.area population. New,
major chains av°idlocations "south of the .tracks." As an example, there was a
Blockbuster at Chester and Brundage, about a mile from the site; it closed, reportedly a
victim of shrinkage, and the property remains vacant. There is also a closed market'iust
two blocks from the Housing Authority site, the Vernon Strong Market; the owner,' a
former City Councilman, declared bankruptcy, reportedly due to low traffic volumes and
the need t° address environmental regulations related togas storage tanks. Any project
that is marginal in terms of its prospects is very risky in this area where there is already
so much marginal development that seems poised on a thin edge between success and
failure.
We see a neighborhood-oriented office/service center as the top potential site use, one
with a strong orientation to.providing services but at the same'time an ability to pay'rent
through.its individual components. 'It would include the following tenants:
· Legal service offices: Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance is in the final year of
its present lease and will need approximately 8,000-10,000 square feet next year.
It should be able to pay market rates for office space and would find the Housing
Authority site at the center' of its client market area.
· Training/job referral: the State's Employment Training Resource Program is
creating a major job training center a few miles south of the Housing Authority
site but it could use a neighborhood-based center and East California Avenue lies
in the center of its client area. While there is no fixed concept for this type of
space, we would estimate a space of approximately l i000-2,000 square feet for
this use.
· Day Care: there is a tremendous need for pre-school day care in this area, since
most of the resident households have two working parents or no care-provider at
home during the workday. We would expect a Day Care Center serving
approximately 100 children, using about 3,500 square feet of interior: space and
7,500 square feet outside, would be appropriate at this location.
· Medical Clinic: a medical clinic would fit well with this office/service complex.
This could be a private but subsidized clinic, for general medicine, dentistry or a
'special .field. Like the other tenants, this is a rent-paying user. Like the. training
center there is no fixed concept for this type of space; roughly'l,000-2,000 square
- feet would probably be appropriate for this use. ~
· Restaurant: a compatible restaurant integrated into the complex could be
successful at this location. There are examples of successful restaurants in the .
neighborhood at locations less attractive for this type of use than East California
Avenue. However, we do not see a successful fast food restaurant at this i6cation.
The analysis [Exhibit 4-1) identifies the various uses, including those above and others,
and our evaluation of each one. The "food coop" rates highlg as a potential use ofthe
site, although this type of development requires a well organized and highly motivated
sponsoring entity. We did not find a good candidate in the area, although there may well
be a group that could undertake this type of project. "
Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance (GBLA) should be a prime tenant. This
organization now occupies approximately 8,000 square feet on California Avenue but is
interested in relocating, and sees the site as a good location relative to its clientele.
GBLA sees itself'as "realistic" with respect to the relatively poor prospects for
development of a supermarket at the Housing Authority site, according to recent
discussions on this matter.
The job training/referral center makes sense from the viewpoint of community need. The
large center.off Cottonwood has no value for area residents seeking jobs. John Nilon
discussed the concept, of a "satellite office," a small computer center with a staff of two
or'three. However, Nilon's Department would like to see more "partners" from
employment training, mental health, and other departments of state governments.

The City could help in project implementation in v~ous ways:
· Allocation of site acquisition funds if the Housing Authority were to convey the
property to a private developer..
· Funding to support job creation: $35,000/job, provided that 51 percent of jobs
were eamarked to nei~borhood/low-income population. This raight apply to the
restaurant a.nd day care components of the project.
· Tax abatement for the value of the private improvements, depending on the
development approach.
ll
The City's participation would seem to be justified by the fact that development of this
type would constitute a breakthrough for the pattern of development on East California
Avenue: office/set,Ace development supporting the population.of the neighborhood but
with a broader city-wide impact, from GBLA, and with private and semi-privat~
components.
As we understand it, the Housing Authority is flexible with respect to how the project is
developed. It would sell or lease the property and, for "the right kind of development,"
would discount the price. It wants "the kighest and best use," 'for tenants'and residents,
andwould support a public purpose, short of contributing to a project with negative cash
flow.
The' range, of choices for a development entity is somewhat limited. There are several
candidates, in addition to the Housing Authority:
· BakerSfield Redevelopment Authority.
· Certified Development Corporation (CDC): private entity, works with SBA-504
-funds.
· Private Developer identi~%d through a directed RFP, working on a fee basis.
There is more discussion needed to come up with the right development approach for a
project of this importance. Because of the existence of the redevelopment area, the
Redevelopment Authority should be positioned to play an important role.
5. ConclusiOns
Commercial ·development potentials at the Housing Authority site are limited:
· The site is small and shallow - not an easy commercial development opportunity, .
under the best of market conditions.
· Traffic in the vicinity had been declining in the 1990s - a bad sign relative to
commercial development.
· Redevelopment activities in this part of the City will take some years to have an
impact.
· A Latin market and Mexican grocery that serve the Hispanic population already
exist in the immediate area.
Moreover, there is a Proposed· supermarket and retail center less than a mile from the site
that would serve the core area population, if it were constructed. The neighborhood
would do well to support that project and make sure that it goes ahead.
We can see support for a 'small commercial plaza that integrates office, day care, and
some retail uses. The "best" combination of uses would include the following:
· Legal Services.
· Training Center/Job Referral Office.
12
· Day Care Center..
· ClinicfMedical Center.
· Restaurant
Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance, unsatisfied with its present location, is ready to
move and should be a prime tenant at space to be developed at the HOusing Authority
site. The State Employment Training Resource Center would make a valuable
component in a project of this nature. The medical and day care tenants compliment the
program. Limited private development,-such as a restaurant, could be a successful part of
the project.
There are other ways in which the site could be developed, 'with marginal commercial
uses and development subsidies. However, none of these ha';,e the prospects for long-
term stability and the creation of a new kind of development on East California Avenue
as an office/service complex.

Executive D~ctor
INTRODUCTION
The Housing Authority of the County of Kern (HACK) invites interested developers' to submit
qualification:based proposals for the development ora commercial property it o;vr~s on the south side
of East California Avenue near downtown Bakersfield, California. The project involves
development of a 2.9 acre site that'has a C-2 zoning classification, which provides for intense
development of the site. The successful developer must demonstrate the ability and theexperience
to implement a successful commercial redevelopment plan.
SITE AND LOCATION
The:property is approximately 2.9 acres and is roughly 140 x 900 feet. It is located on the South Side'
of East California Avenue, between Robinson & Owens streets. It is bounded on the west by Martin
Luther King Jr. park, on the east by other commercial properties and on the south by the Oro Vista
P..ublic Housing Complex, a portion of which is being rehabilitated and sold to its residents under the-
HUD HOPE I Program. Across East California Avenue are stores and mixed commercial
development. The zoning allows for intense development, including malls, large stores, restaurants,
offices, office complexes, day care centers, and other commercial and institutional uses.
BACKGROUND
In 1'995 HACK purchased the propert~ from a private owner. In 1997, a community group proposed
development of a commercial Complex on the site. The proposal showed a day care center, food co-
op, fast food chain, and other retail space and services situated parallel to East California Avenue.
The community, groUp did not have a contract with HACK and later withdrew its proposal because
of its involvement in other developments. Now that the rehabilitation and sales program, f(~. the
newly named "California Gardens" is underway, HACK wishes to solicit proposals from int~r.~ted :'.~ ~
developers for a commercial development that will complement and support the residential
revitalization.
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
The City of Bakersfield recently approved a Redevelopment Plan for the Southeast RedeveloPment
Project Area, a large section of the city that includes at its northern boundary, portions~ of East and
West California Avenue. The purpose of the redevelopment effort is to improve the physical
appearance of the area through new construction, rehabilitation and infrastructure improvements.
The plan identifies' this site as one of the many "properties necessary for effective development,"
although it provides no specific recommendation for .the' site. The plan proposes improvements
throughout the area with a total cost of 4.329 million. The adopted Plan will certainly help the
southeast sector of the City.
pOTENTIAL USES
HACK recently commissioned a study of the development potential of the site. HACK's advisor
felt that the location did not lend itself to a supermarket/grocery store. Instead, the analysis indicated
that the top potential use was for a neighborhood,od, ented office/service center with' the following
tenants:
· Legal services office - 8,000 to 10,000 s.f.
· Training/job referral offices - approximately 1,000-2,000 s.fi
· Day Care Center - 3,500 interior s.f. and 7,500 exterior s.f.
· Medical Clinic - 1,000-2,000 s.f.
· · Restaurant - No recommended s.f.
Hack- is prepared to lease or sell the property to the selected development parmer at a negotiated
price that provides the highest and best use for tenant and residents of the area.
