and
WHEREAS, said Board of Zoning Adjustment, through its Secretary did set
July ll, 1978 at the hour of 3 p.m., in the Council Chamber of the City Hall,
Bakersfield, California, as the time and place for a public hearing before
said Board on said application,'and notice of said hearing was given in the
manner provided by Title Seventeen of the Municipal Code of the city of
Bakersfield;
and
WHEREAS, at said hearing held July ll, 1978, the application was duly
heard and considered, and the Board of Zoning Adjustment found as follows:
l) The granting of this conditional use
permit will not adversely affect the
General Plan.
2)
The granting of this conditional use
permit will not be materially detri-
mental to the public welfare or in-
jurious to the property or improve-
ments in the zone or vicinity in
which the property is located.
The proposed conditional use permit
will not have an adverse environmental
impact on the neighborhood or community.
The above findings were based on the following facts:
Subject unimproved land lies southerly of Highway 178 and
easterly of Comanche Road. The topography is generally
slightly rolling to flat with a minor drainage channel
traversing the site.
Surrounding property is rolling hills to level and is
developed as follows:
West and Northwest -- Single family dwellings on
· large estate type lots
North -- A rock and gravel plant
East -- Vacant
South -- Oil related facilities; wel!s~ sumps, etc.
Subject runway is east/west oriented. This will require
planes taking off to fly over the vicinity of the dwell-
ings immediately to the west. The noise from small prop-
eller airdraft does not exceed the Noise Element of the
General Plan.
After a preliminary environmental assessment, staff deter-
mined the project would not have a significant effect on
the environment. A negative declaration was advertised
and posted June 30, 1978.
