WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield is pro-business, pro-agriculture and supports the

cooperative approach to providing government services, including development review;

economy of the urbanized area and the growing industrial/agricultural economic base in
the areas adjacent thereto; and

projects affect the City of Bakersfield and its residents, as such projects occur within and
