AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Monday, July 12, 1993
12:00 Noon
City Manager's Conference Room
1. Separation of Grade - Fred Kloepper
Greater Bakersfield Separation of Grade District Members
Separation of Grade District board members and their consultants presented
a brief summary of the District's successes and outlined possible future
projects. One project discussed was "Q" Street at Southern Pacific Railroad
with closing of the 30th - "M" Street crossing. The district would like to
proceed with preliminary engineering on this project but only if they had
some assurance that the City would support the project. Staff was asked to
contact Councilmember Pat DeMond regarding the project and to look at
traffic aspects of the proposal. The matter may be brought before the
Council for determination whether or not the project should be pursued.
2. URM Ordinance - Dennis Fidler/Jack Leonard
This ordinance provides standards that strengthen unreinforced masonry
buildings for hazard to life safety. Recommend to the City Council for
adoption.
3. Median in Calloway - Ed Schulz
Recommend staff to assign a high priority to complete design of median
island along Calloway between Meacham Road and Hageman Road. Funds
for this project have been collected by the City from adjacent development.
4. Vehicular Food Vendors Update - Bill Descary
City staff is reviewing the need of liability and auto insurance for vendors
selling from a vehicle. Staff is to report back with recommendations.
5. South Beltway Update - Fred Kloepper
Staff reported that Kern COG would either certify the completed EIR or
order additional study of other alignments at the July 15, 1993 meeting.
Depending on the outcome of that meeting, the City may take the lead in
holding hearings on the three alignments under study. Discussion of
alignments followed. The committee did not favor studying additional
alignments and alternates. Staff will send a letter to Kern COG urging
approval of the EIR.
6. Proposed Ordinance - Reapply for Conditional Use Permit - Jack Hardisty
This ordinance would restrict any Conditional Use Permit to one application
per year. Staff was directed that this ordinance be reviewed by the BIA. No
hearing would be allowed until reconsideration of reapplication has been
granted.

information for Council prior to July 19, 1993.
