A. KIOSK SIGNS FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS
Staff distributed responses to questions the Committee raised at its last meeting
regarding the Kiosk Sign Program. Discussion surrounded a concern for the
12' signs being too high to place in residential neighborhoods and adding more
flexibility for individual builder's promotional desires. Staff will draft two separate'
ordinances addressing these concerns and will bring both back to the Committee
for review and approval. The Committee also asked that their comments be shared
with the Planning Commission sign committee.

6. NEW BUSINESS
A. TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE
A proposed ordinance was distributed. Staff was asked to provide the Committee
with a step-by-step flow chart of the development and inspection process for
residential developments. This will give the Committee an understanding of where
the critical milestones are, and thus at what point the payment of fees should be
imposed (i.e. at time of move in, pouring the foundation, final inspection). The BIA
passed out a copy of the City of Visalia's ordinance on transportation impact fees
as it relates to residential developments.
B. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE CLEAN UP
The Committee recommended the ordinance be returned to Council for second
reading.
C, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FEE SCHEDULE
The Development Services Department was instructed by the City Attorney's Office
that its "unadvertised" fee for zone modification review needed to be changed to
reflect that affected property owners would be notified of an application for a
variance. Staff will make the adjustment in the language. The Committee also
asked that staff reduce the fee proposed so that it did not represent such a
significant increase over a one-year period. Once the changes are made, the fees
can be forwarded for Council adoption.
D. CITY OF SHAFTER FOREIGN TRADE ZONE ANNEXATION
The Committee expressed its concern for the proposed annexation and asked staff
to prepare a list of issues that could be forwarded to the Shafter City Council, Board
of Supervisors and LAFCO. Additionally, staff was asked to begin the process for
requesting a sphere of influence change for the City of Bakersfield.
(Councilmember Smith was not in attendance for this item.)
