PUBLIC STATEMENTS Dave Cross, Architect, spoke regarding his letter to the Committee on the economic impact and evaluation of a location for the California High Speed Rail station. A study needs to be done in order to have influence at the California High Speed Rail Authority meeting in June 2001 to evaluate alignment options. Committee Chair David Couch stated that our current position is that we want it located in the Downtown area. Interim Public Works Director Jack LaRochelle said staff has attended the monthly meetings of the High Speed Rail and at every meeting made a public statement that we would like it located in the downtown and efforts are ongoing to get consensus on an exact site. The Kern Transportation Foundation has been the lead in puffing together a scope of all the issues to bring it forth to the* community for input. Ultimately, the Council would recommend a preferred location to the State. Marvin Dean spoke regarding high speed rail and prefers a downtown station site that would aid in all three areas of redevelopment. It was discussed that the City should take the lead. Committee Chair David Couch said he would like staff to make this a priority and he will be referring it to the Urban Development Committee. AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Monday, March 12, 2001 Page -2- 4. DEFERRED BUSINESS A. Committee discussion and adoption of 2001 Urban Development meeting schedule The Committee reviewed*the draft calendar. The Mamh 26= meeting was deleted. The start time for the next meeting on April 2"~ was changed to 4:00 p.m. All the other calendared meetings will start at 1:00 p.m. The Committee unanimously adopted the Urban Development Committee meeting schedule, with .the above changes. 5. NEW BUSINESS A. Discussion andpossible recommendation regarding'Downtown Business and Property Owners - Vision Committee Committee Chair David Couch introduced Herman Ruddell from the Downtown Business and Property Owners (DBA) Vision Committee to make their presentation. Completinq .downtown element.of 2010 'Plan Several years ago the downtown element of the 2010 Plan was deferred for completion to a later date. In discussions at their DBA board meetings regarding projects in the downtown, they would like to have a plan to fall back on in terms of what the community planning input has been and how the community would like to see things develop, instead of just reacting to developers' proposals. It was discussed that the .upcoming Downtown Charrette would help to complete the downtown element of the 2010 Plan. Identifyinq and improvincj collector street qrid-_ Mr. Ruddell continued that the traffic flow and capacity of City streets needs to be improved. They are focusing on F, H, L, and N Streets. For the most part these streets are four lanes, two in each direction, but in reality as the center lanes are used for left tums, these streets function as two lanes. They are recommending that the streets, for instance H Street, be made a dominate northbound street by changed it to two north bound lanes, a center left-turn lane, and one southbound lane. Then to mirror that, make L Street a dominate southbound with two southbound lanes, a center left- turn lane and one northbound lane. Interim.Public Works Director Jack LaRochelle stated that because these streets are 82.5 feet wide in fight-of-way but only 54.5 feet wide in roadway, there isroom for widening within the right,of-way without taking property. Standard left-turn lanes with left-turn traffic lights are preferred for safety. There are many options that can be explored for the north and southbound streets. The Committee agreed that improvements in traffic flow are needed and staff will meet with representatives of the DBA to discuss options. Monday, March 12, 2001 Page -3- Formation of a parkinq authority The DBA is still interested in creating a parking authority, which has been discussed with the · Committee previously. Parking is a problem in the downtown and they would like to bring the formation of a parking authority back to the forefront again. Development of small parcels is difficult because lots are not large enough to-build a business and have the space for required parking. They would like to propose a.series of consolidated parking structures with a parking requirement that goes with it for any new buildings that are development. If new businesses use the parking structure to meet their parking requirements, they would pay for the-parking. They are proposing that the ~consolidated parking structures be built with municipal financing to allow for tax-exempt ""' rates, perhaps public/private partnerships. The proposed parking authority would be used to enforce parking in the downtown. It is the opinion of the DBA that parking be free to customers and visitors. The Committee 'discussed many of the aspects including: the need to get business and property owners' agreement with .parking structures; small one-owner-operator business owners not being able to leave their stores and accruing parking tickets and the need for an authority to be flexible with special parking problems; problems associated with business folks who have heavy things to carry and their having to walk late at night to a parking garage; building costs for parking garages being approximately $5,000 per space, requiring businesses to use parking structures and safety issues late at night for users especially with the late,night bar atmosphere in the downtown; who will pay for security; and the need to achieve a way to ensure accountability of a parking authority to business and property owners. The Committee agreed there needs to be a long-term solution for downtown parking. As a short- term action, City staff will do an analysis of downtown parking structures that might have public parking spaces or be available for lease or rent by businesses, such as 18~' and Eye, District Attorney's, Superintendent of Schools and others. Downtown site for ,high speed rail .: The DBA is strongly committed to having a downtown site for high speed rail. They are proposing the City work with the DBA in a partnership to identify a preferred site downtown. Mr. Ruddell stated there needs to be a non-stop direct airport connection (tram). If there are no stops between the station and Meadows Field, there may be a possibility of funding for a tram by the FFA. Jack LaRochelle explained the high speed rail travels at 200+ miles an hour and it slows down to 125 miles an hour in .urban areas because of the noise. Everything is 100% grade separated, so vehicles will not be crossing. The City's argument for placing it in the downtown has been fairness. · It will be going into downtown Los Angeles and San Francisco with larger urban areas to cross and higher property costs, so why not Bakersfield. The City has been developing its transportation system so that all roads lead downtown. If the alignment is placed in a suburban area, roads will have to be built to it and that causes urban sprawl, which will be difficult to overcome in the Environmental Document. Marvin Dean said he would Ilke the Southeast PAC to have input into choosing the location. URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT DR AFT Monday, March 12, 2001 Page -4- The Committee discussed different site location options and alignments. It was emphasized that It is important to get a consensus of all interested groups in order to have a united single voice favoring a downtown site before the High Speed Rail Authority meeting in June 2001. The Committee directed Jack LaRochelle to make a presentation to the DBA and the Southeast PAC and receive their.input and then make a workshop presentation to the City Council. Downtown Charrette Committee Chair David Couch stated the City Council has funded the Downtown Charrette. Planning Director Stan Grady said tentative target dates now being discussed are May 11 ~, 12t~, and 13th, with wrap-up on the 19a. 6.

(See Map from California High Speed Rail Authority) The California High Speed Rail Authority has also determined that station locations will be evaluated for Screening at the June 2001, authority meeting. The importance of this issue merits a serious comprehensive economic evaluation. The benefits of the important matter of whether the station location should be within the Bakersfield City. limits or elsewhere in Kern County, needs to be addressed. This study should be completed, with a recommendation in time to influence the June California High Speed Rail Authority meeting.

GRADY, PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: COMMERCIAL ZONE DISTRICTS Commercial zoning by the City is divided into five districts. The most common are the Professional and Administrative Office zone (C-O), Neighborhood Commercial zone (C-1) and Regional Commercial zone (C-2). The Central Business zone (C-B) was drafted for downtown while the Commercial Center zone (C-C) is used for property within the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area. The order of presentation of the zones in this memorandum is from least permissive to most permissive. The C-O, C-1 and C-2 zone districts are used for new development with C-2 being the dominant retail commercial zone. Our zoning ordinance is constructed to allow uses permitted in less intensive zones to be permitted in more intensive zones. An example Would be medical offices, which are allowed in C-O zones are a less intensive use than fast food restaurants, which are allOwed in C-2 zones. With a C-O zone you could only develop the medical office, however with a C-2 zone you could develop either or both on the same site. Because of this, the C-2 Regional Commercial zone is the most requested zone.when commercial zoning is sought because it allows the broadest range of permitted commercial uses. Neighborhood Commercial zones permit some uses that are similar to uses in the Regional Commercial zone, but with more restrictions. An example is drug stores which are allowed in both zones, however the outside' nursery sales would only be allowed in the C-2 zone. Another example is fast food restaurants which are allowed in both zones, however the Speaker box would only be allowed by right in the C-2 zone. " This gradual lOosening of regulations and expanding the list of permitted uses as you move from one classification to the next more intensive classification is the essence of zoning. It addresses land use compatibility at the human Scale. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ' February 9, 2001 Page Two The attached Table "A" provides a view of the commercial zone districts used by the City of Bakersfield. The uses in typical neighborhood centers common to both the C-1 and C-2 zones are highlighted. There are permitted uses within the C-2 zone that create concern from neighboring property owners when confronted with a proposed zone change. These . concerns involve permitted building heights and uses such as crematoriums, sanitariums and hospitals. A possible solution to these concerns could be to redefine the Regional Commercial zone as a community commercial zone. Create a third zone (C-3) and give it the Regional Commercial classification. Place in that zone a blend of the uses deemed undesirable in the old zone with some of the uses permitted in the Central Business zone. An example of how this could work is presented in Table "B". Transferring permitted uses from one district to another will create non- conforming uses. These uses will have difficulty expanding if they desire to do so at their present location. For example, if we move funeral services from C-2 to C-3 they will lose the right to expand their business at their present location because the use would no longer be permitted by right.

GRADY, PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: OIL WELL' DRILLING - CITY/COUNTY COMPARISON The attached material was prepared concerning the subject standards. The City adopted County standards in 1998 for property intended to be annexed. The remainder of the City is under 1992 rules. The 1992 rules do not require approval in C-O, OS, M or A zones if 500' from homes. The 1998 rules reduces the 500' to 100' and requires a CUP for C-O and OS zones. The County rules are the same as the City 1998 rules with the exception that the City requires a CUP in the OS zone and the County prohibits drilling in OS zones. Depending on which regulatory framework the committee supports, staff could proceed to merge the 'two chapters into one regulation based on the selected framework. SCG:pah S:\STANLEY~oil well.mem.wpd ME MO RAND UM February 12, 2001 TO: STAN GRADY, PLANNING DIRECTOR FROM: JIM EGGERT, PRINCIPAL PLANlx!£~[y~ SUBJECT: OIL WELL DRILLING - CITY/COUNTY COMPARISON The city has two ordinance chapters that address oil exploration. Chapter 15.66 was adopted in 1992 and covers all land in the city limits as it existed until January 1, 1998. Those lands annexed after that time are subject to Chapter 15.67. Chapter 15.67 was adopted in 1998 to affect those lands the city was considering to annex as part of a sphere of influence expansion. This ordinance was driven by concerns from Enron because of their concern of differences between the city's ordinance verses the county's. The oil exploration and well development standards in Chapter 15.67 are the same as Kern County's ordinance with slight modifications to recognize standard city processes. In addition, the city added a Drilling Island (DI) zone and Petroleum Extraction (PE) zone which also matches the county's DI and PE zones though these can only apply to the newly annexed areas. Chapter 15.66 which covers the areas within the city annexed before January 1, 1998, are slightly different. They are based on a performance standard that allows unrestricted drilling in industrial and agricultural zones unless the well is within 500 feet of residences in which a conditional use permit is required. The county's ordinance allows unrestricted drilling in industrial and agricultural zones but has no CUP requirement if near residences. Commercial zones in the county require a CUP where the city does not require a CUP unless within 500 feet of residences. Both ordinances require a CUP in residential zones. Well site development standards are basically the same. My recommendation would be to have staffmerge the two ordinance chapters together since it has been confusing to both staff and the public as to which of the two ordinances to apply. In addition, the DI and PE zones should be modified to apply citywide instead of just areas annexed after 1998. Chapter 15.66 could have been easily amended instead of adopting another ordinance. If necegsary, we could move these standards into the zoning ordinance (similar to Kern County) wb..ich may make it easier to find and apply, especially since we are the first department contacted about well drilling and zoning.

The following documents pertain to the: URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE meeting of Monday, April 2, 2001 at 4:00 PM. ~-.e~, 2001 City Council City of Bakersfield 1501 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93301 Council Members: I would like to begin by asking each of you to ponder a couple of questions: How would you like an eighteen wheel big rig back up the entire length or your street? What thoughts come to mind, safety, traffic, playing children and liability? Well this is exactly what happened on Shellabarger Road on December 29th 2000. Someone on our street had a piece of equipment delivered and the truck driver had no warning that he would be unable to turn around on our street. So he did as he would in any City or County neighborhood, he delivered the equipment and then to his surprise could not turn around anywhere nor could he go through the gate at Shellabarger and Pepita. Why you ask, because it is locked. Many or you may not be aware but Shellabarger Road is almost a mile long. Oh by the way did I mention that the delivery was at approximately 4:30 - 5:00 pm, so when he was backing down the street it was completely dark. This is again only an example of the type of problems that the new development and subsequent locked gate have created for residents of Shellabarger Road. I urge you to continue to negotiate with Mr. Koch to come to a resolution and complete an access road between Shellabarger and Pepita Way. I would like to request that this item be an agenda item at the next meeting of the full City Council and that all residents of Shellabarger and Pepita be notified so that they have an opportunity to voice their concerns. Thank you for your continued efforts in correcting this growing problem. Sincerely,
