Also, enclosed is a copy of the District CIP in a format similar to that used by the city. Please note that the FY 97-98 CIP was approved by our Directors July 3, 1997. 1.

North Bakersfield Recreation and Park District builds a system of parks consisting of neighborhood parks that are approximately 10 acres in size and community parks that are recommended to be at least 20 acres in size. There are five (5) communities that compose the total District area. They are Oildale, Riverlakes, Polo Grounds, Rosedale and Western Rosedale. All parks within a community are required to meet the 2.5 acre standard. Neighborhood parks generally provide 1.5 acres per 1000 toward the park acreage standard. Community parks provide the remaining one acre per 1000. 3. North Bakersfield Recreation and Park District has agreed to provide an annual proposed capital budget to be considered by the city. It will designate where available funds are proposed to be used. Based on recent average lot development within the city portion of North Bakersfield Recreation and Park District, it is anticipated that about $215,000 in park development fees will be available on an annual basis to construct improvements within the city areas of the District. 4. The Negative Declaration adopted for the related ordinance amendment should be sufficient for adoption of this CIP. 5. We request that the City Council consider rescheduling a hearing for this matter as soon as possible. Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will gladly clear up questions regarding any items prior to the December 10~ Urban Development Committee meeting. Sincerely, Colon G.

He made some very positive proposals for our consideration. My response to him is attached for discussion at the meeting next week. Steve Nichols, attorney for Wal-Mart will be meeting with me on Tuesday, December 9, 1997, to discuss the issue of Wal-Mart's illegal use of shipping containers for storage. This should give us even more for Wednesday's meeting. JH:pjt m\mudc12-4 Development Services Department lack Hardisty, Director Dennis C. Fidler Stanley C.

I will be sharing these with the Urban Development Committee on Wednesday, December 10, 1997. The meeting is public and you are welcome to attend and make a direct presentation to the committee. Your major points, as I understood them, were that our ordinance should be amended to accommodate the seasonal use of the shipping containers for temporary storage, that they be allowed at ratio of one unit per 20,000 sq.ft, of building area with a maximum of six units, that this be a once per year event for no more than 90 days and they be setup behind buildings or otherwise screened. Except for the 90 days (I would recommend 60 days), I support your proposed change to the ordinanCe. In addition, I will propose a few changes for the committee's consideration: 1) We should clarify or re-emphasize that the shipping containers approved for this temporary storage are those designed to I.S.O. Standard 668-1979(E) or equivalent or "roll-off' storage bins with fixed covers and this specifically does not include semi-truck trailers. 2) That they will be placed and used so as not to be in violation of any codes (eg. Fire Code, Building Code). 3) They should be exempt from site plan review as they are minor and temporary uses. 4) They should be permitted in the M-3 (Heavy Industrial) zone which was adopted by the City after the Metal Storage Container Ordinance was adopted in 1988. 5) Foundations need not be provided for temporary use. City of Bakersfield · 1715 Chester Avenue · Bakersfield, California · 93301 ! Lee Jamieson · -~_ December 4, 1997 Page 2 6) That the limits do not apply to the location used to store, lease or sell shipping containers in the industrial zone where that business is permitted. These ideas are usually fleshed out as they progress through City Council and Planning Commission review so I look forward to your continued involvement. Thank you for your interest.

SMALL LOT SUBDIVISION AND APARTMENT PROJECTS The Planning Director gave a brief summary of the Planning Commission's recommendations on how to encourage developers of small lot, multi-unit projects to improve the aesthetics and outdoor amenities of the project. The BIA expressed concerns that the Planning Commission's proposal amounted to nothing more than design guidelines rather than providing incentives for developers to improve onsite URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Wednesday, OCTOBER 15, 1997 Page -2- recreational/open space while still providing affordable housing. The Committee was concerned that the proposal did not focus on providing incentive to developers to build attractive, quality multi-family housing with appropriate amenities. Staff was ~:lirected to prepare a response back to the Planning Commission, conveying the Committee's concerns. This item will come back to Urban Development at a future meeting for additional review and discussion. 6. NEW BUSINESS A. TREE CITY USA DESIGNATION The City is working on developing the necessary application elements to meet the criteria of the Tree City USA Designation. Currently the Parks Division is working on putting together a tree inventory. Harry Starkey from the Tree Foundation requested that an Advisory Committee be established to assist the City with applying for the designation. The Committee indicated that perhaps the Tree Foundation could serve that purpose. Staff was directed to work with' the Tree Foundation on pursuing the designation. 7.
