Mitigation/Conditions of Approval
General Plan Amendment/Zone Change 07-0761
Cultural Resources (Mitigation Measures)
Prior to ground-disturbance activities associated with this project, personnel associated with the
grading effort shall be informed of the importance of the potential cultural and archaeological
resources (i.e. archaeological sites, artifacts, features, burials, etc.) that may be encountered during
site preparation activities, how to identify those resources in the field, and of the regulatory
protections afforded to those resources. The personnel shall be informed of procedures relating to
the discovery of archaeological remains during grading activities and cautioned to avoid
archaeological finds with equipment and not collect artifacts. The applicant/developer of the project
site shall submit documentation to the Planning Department that they have met this requirement
prior to commencement of ground-disturbance activities. This documentation should include
information on the date(s) of training activities, the individual(s) that conducted the training, a
description of the training, and a list of names of those who were trained. Should cultural remains be
uncovered, the on-site supervisor shall immediately notify a qualified archaeologist. Mitigation for
potentially significant cultural impacts.
2. If human remains are discovered during grading or construction activities, work would cease
pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code. If human remains are
identified on the site at any time, work shall stop at the location of the find and the Kern County
Coroner shall be notified immediately (Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code and
Section 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code which details the appropriate actions
necessary for addressing the remains) and the local Native American community shall be notified
immediately. Mitigation for potentially significant cultural impacts.
Traffic and Circulation (Mitigation Measures)
3. Prior to the issuance of any building permit within the GPA/ZC area, the developer shall pay the
applicable Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) to the satisfaction of the City of Bakersfield
Public Works Department. Mitigation for potentially significant impacts.
4. Prior to issuance of the first building permit within the GPA/ZC area, the developer shall pay the
proportionate share contributions for the intersection and roadway improvements not covered by the
RTIF as identified in Table 7 of the project Traffic Study (Ruettgers & Schuler Civil Engineers,
December 2007). Mitigation for potentially significant impacts.
Public Works
5. Along with the submittal of any development plan, prior to approval of improvement plans, or with
the application for a lot line adjustment or parcel merger, the following shall occur:
a. Provide fully executed dedication for both Union Avenue and Panama Lane to arterial standards
for the full frontage of the parcel, including the existing GC piece at the northeast corner of
Union Avenue and Panama Lane. Dedications shall include sufficient widths for expanded
intersections and additional areas for landscaping as directed by the City Engineer. Submit a
current title report with the dedication documents. If a tentative subdivision map over the entire
GPA/ZC area is submitted, dedication can be provided with the map. For orderly development.

b. This GPA/ZC area is too small to support it's own storm drainage sump. The City will allow no
more than one sump per 80 acres; therefore, this GPA/ZC area must be included within the
drainage area of adjoining property. Submit a comprehensive drainage study of the entire
drainage area, to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. The study shall show the
development's proportionate share of the necessary ultimate storm drainage facilities. The
developer shall participate in the development of a Planned Drainage Area, or shall provide
some other method for the construction of the ultimate facilities satisfactory to the City Engineer.
Any required retention site and necessary easements shall be dedicated to the City. Fororderty
development.
c. Sewer service must be provided to the GPA/ZC area. The developer shall be responsible for
the initial extension of the sewer line to serve the property. This sewer line must necessarily be
sized to serve a much larger area that the project area. There is an existing lift station that
serves an adjacent area that must be modified to be able to serve this parcel. The existing
gravity line to this lift station must be up-sized to accommodate the additional sewer flow from
this GPA/ZC area. The City is willing to aid the developer in the formation of a Planned Sewer
Area and/or an Assessment District to provide a mechanism for the reimbursement of oversizing
costs to the developer. For orderly development.
d. In order to preserve the permeability of the sump and to prevent the introduction of sediments
from construction or from storm events, all retention and detention basins (sumps) shall have a
mechanical device in the storm drain system to remove or minimize the introduction of oil,
grease, trash, and sediments to the sump. This device shall be reviewed and approved by the
City Engineer, and shall provide the greatest benefit to the storm drain system with the least
maintenance cost. For orderly development.
e. Developer is responsible for the construction of all infrastructure, both public and private, for the
parcel, including the existing GC piece at the northeast corner of Union Avenue and Panama
Lane. This includes the construction of any and all boundary streets to the centerline of the
street, unless otherwise specified. The developer is also responsible for the construction of any
off site infrastructure required to support this development, as identified in these conditions. The
phasing of the construction all infrastructure will be addressed at the subdivision map stage. For
orderly development.
f. Vesting Tentative Tract 6865 immediately to the east of the GPA/ZC area has a street,
Jalpan Avenue that terminates at the GPA/ZC boundary. Developer shall provide 60' wide
dedication for Jalpan Avenue through the GPA/ZC from the western boundary to Union
Avenue. Developer shall provide dedication for a right turn deceleration lane on Union
Avenue at Jalpan Avenue. For orderly development.
6. Prior to issuance of a building permit, developer shall pay a major transportation facility fee in the
amount of $0.35 per square foot for commercial. If prior to issuance of a building permit said fee is
merged into the regional TIF program then payment of the regional TIF fee will be deemed to have
satisfied the intent of this condition. This fee is a component of the City Council approved action
plan to pursue funds needed to complete construction of major transportation facilities to serve
growth and development within Metropolitan Bakersfield. For orderly development
