WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 65351 of the California Govern-
ment Code, the Council of the City of Bakersfield adopted Resolu-
tion No. 21-77 on the 21st day of March, 1977, adopting a
systematic program for the amendment of mandatory elements of
the Bakersfield Metropolitan Area General Plan three times each
calendar year;

WHEREAS, Section 65361 of the Government Code has been
amended by (Chapter 1250, Statutes of 1983) to allow an additional,
fourth amendment each calendar year to any such mandatory element;
and
WHEREAS, the public interest would be better served by having
a fourth opportunity each calendar year to have proposed amend-
ments to such mandatory elements heard and considered;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has recommended by its adop-
tion of its Resolution 1-84 that the hearing program for amend-
ments to the mandatory elements of the general plan be amended;
and

closing consideration of additional amendments for more than
three months;
