WHEREAS, various public agencies have furnished written

responded to significant environmental points raised in the consul-

WHEREAS, on June 15, 1977, the Planning Commission by reso-
lution, recommended that the Final EIR dated June, 1977, be certified
by the City Council as being completed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act,-the State EIR Guidelines and City Resolu-
tion No. 24-77.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City
of Bakersfield as follows:
1. That the Final Environmental Impact Report dated June,
1977, is an accurate and objective discussion of the proposed pro-
ject and adequately discusses and describes all of the environmental
considerations which need to be considered prior to approval of the
project.
2. That the land use in the territory to be annexed which
will eventually be developed, and in the general vicinity thereof, is
undergoing a change from agriculture to urban uses, which change
would occur whether the property is developed in the corporate limits
of the City of Bakersfield or within the County; that land use upon
annexation will be similar to uses now permitted in the County and
to existing uses and the types of impacts or environmental changes
such as housing, air quality, transportation, etc. in the proposed
project area will be similar whether the project is under County or
City jurisdiction.
3. That the proposed project will not have a significant
effect on the environment.
4. That the territory proposed for annexation is within
the "sphere of influence" of the City of Bakersfield which is a
plan for the ultimate physical boundaries and service area, and is
contributory to the natural expansion of the City and that the annexa-
tion will tend to discourage urban sprawl and proliferation of special
districts and encourage the orderly development of the City.
5. In consideration of the above findings and determina-
tions by this body, the City Council determines that the Final
Environmental Impact Report dated June, 1977, be certified as being
completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act, the State EIR Guidelines and City of Bakersfield Resolution
No. 24-77.
6. That this City Council has reviewed and considered
the information contained in said Final EIR and approves the project
described therein.
