boundary. Included in the proposal will be the west, south and east areas and the
three County-approved specific plan areas, Western Rosedale (includes Rosedale
Ranch), Pacificana and McAIlister Ranch.
When city staff met with LAFCO staff, they discussed including agriculture and
resource petroleum designated land into the SOl. LAFCO believes that the
appropriate time to annex or include agricultural land in our SOl is when development
is imminent, unless it is part of a comprehensive revision of the General Plan. Staff
does not intend to propose any changes to land use designations at this time.
Expanding the SOl does not mean that development or annexation is imminent, but
it does signal that we are moving ahead with the planning process. LAFCO suggested
that it may be beneficial to have a joint urban planning process between the city and
county. The General Plan amendment proposing the expansion of the SOl boundary
will go to the Planning Commission for their June 19, 1997 meeting.
B. PROPOSED MEETING SCHEDULE
Councilmember Rowles was not present at the meeting. The Chair set April 16, 1997
as the next meeting date. This item will be rescheduled when the full Committee is
present to vote on the meetings dates for the 1997 calendar year.

A. KERN RIVER FREEWAY
Staff indicated that CalTrans is committed to allocating resources to complete the
Mohawk Street to Stockdale Highway segment of the Kern River Freeway project. The
total project is approximately $200 million. The segment identified as Mohawk Street
to Stockdale Highway is approximately $50 million. Funds will be available in the year
2001-2002. Staff notes a three-year construction window for the project, with
completion of the segment around the year 2008.
