City of Bakersfield Fiscal Year 1984-85 7 City of Bakersfield Maintenance District No. 7 is generally described as a district within the City of Bakersfield extending west from the east boundary of the Arvin Edison Canal to the westerly curb line of the median strip of Old Ri~er kosd and the area extending north from 30 feet south of the Ming Avenue right of way to the south property line of California State College, Bakersfield, and the north right of way of Camino Media in Section 6, T. 30.S., R. 27 E. Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield, referred to as the Bakersfield Maintenance District Procedure, the Director of Public Works makes and files this Report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the district to be assessed for the cost of maintaining and operating local public improvements, which are now contemplated or are in various planning stages and some of which may be constructed or installed within and would then be maintained and operated by the district. The imprcvements to be maintained by this district specifically are all ~e ~tems included in the Landscape Plans for Ming Avenue from Gosfor~ Road to Old River and in the Landscape Plans for Old River Road which are on file with the office of the City Engineer and ~,~re approved and signed by the City Engineer on November 17, 1982. There may be other improvements of the ~eneral nature designated above to be maintained and operated by the District. Any such improvements will be constructed only after plans therefor have been filed with and approved by the City Engineer. The improvements generally include signs and sign posts, walls and fences and street and parkway landscaping which include, but are not limited to, plant forms, drainage facilities, irrigation systems pipes, conduits, water mains ornamental planting, including turf, ground covers and trees now existing and/or sprinkler systems and lawns, shrubs, hedges, or hereafter to be constructed, laid or planted in and for said maintenance district and of special benefit to the territory within the district and of a public nature, including the cost of necessary repairs, replacements, water, fuel, power, gas, electric current, care, supervision and any and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions, improvements and enlargements thereto which may hereafter be made. In most of the City, street landscaping and parks are maintained through this Department's budget expenditures. After Proposition 13, funds available for street landscaping, parks and other maintenance were substantially reduced. At present the Department's budget will not accomodate maintenance of new improvements of the type described above and proposed for newly development areas within the City. Thus, absent funds for maintenance costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City will not accept or permit parks or median strip or other landscaping or signs or walls to be placed in the City-owned lands in the area included within this proposed Maintenance District. The f~nds generated as the result of the establishment of the pro~d ~istrict will be utilized strictly for the purposes of and a}~pl~ed to the maintenance and upkeep of improvements within the d strict. Such funds will not supplant any City general fund expen~Jiture, either present or future. -2- The establis[~ent of the district has been specifically requested by the present owner and developer of all property located within the district, in order that funding for the maintenance and upkeep of amenities specially designed to enhance the living environment of future commercial owners and/or users therein be established as an integral part of the development process. The district is designated for co]:mlercial development. Because of the natural boundaries of the area occasioned in part by the character and timing of surrounding development, the area within the district will receive the greatest benefit from the contemplated improvements and maintenance thereof. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping, signs, walls and fences, including heat regulation, some noise attentuation and/or esthetic enhancement and increased market value will accrue to the lots or parcels and owners and users thereof within Maintenance District No. 7. Increased market value will accrue to the owners. The benefits will inure to the lots or parcels uniformly, and will be assessed at a The benefit formula is set hereto.
