RE: Notice of Decision - Site Plan Review (Project No. 13 -0009)
Dear Mr. Fuller:
Jim Eggert, Planning Director
Planning Division
Phone: (661) 326 -3733
FAX: (661) 852 -2136
The Planning Director, upon recommendation of the Site Plan Review Committee,
has approved your plans for a 198 -unit apartment complex in a WM -R2 (West Ming Limited
Multiple Family Dwelling) zone district at 11417 Campus Park Drive.
Your proposal, with corrections as noted, meets the minimum required codes,
policies and standards for development as adopted by the Bakersfield City Council.
Specific items have been identified (see attached Site Plan Compliance List) that you
need to resolve before you can obtain a building permit or be allowed occupancy.
These items may include changes or additions that need to be shown on the final building
plans, alert you to specific fees, and /or are comments that will help you in complying with
the city's development standards. Each item will note when it is to be completed and
they have been grouped by department so that you know who to contact if you have
questions.
Your next step is to either apply for necessary building permits to construct your
project, or begin your business activities depending on the request submitted. You must
submit final building plans to the Building Division. The Site Plan Review Committee will
review these final plans while building plan check occurs to ensure that you satisfy the
items in the Site Plan Compliance List. Please read them carefully. Failure to satisfy an
item may delay your obtaining a building permit or commencing your project.
After construction of your project but before the City can allow occupancy, the
Building Division must inspect the development to find if it complies with the approved
plans, and any other relevant permits and codes. If you have satisfied all of the
requirements, the Building Director will issue a certificate of occupancy; of not, the area
inspector will give you a correction notice. Once you have made all of the corrections,
the Building Director can issue a certificate of occupancy. You may not occupy a
development until the Building Director has issued a certificate of occupancy.

indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City of Bakersfield, its officers, agents,
employees, departments, commissioners and boards ( "City '° herein) against any and all
liability, claims, actions, causes of actions or demands whatsoever against them, or any of
them, before administrative or judicial tribunals of any kind whatsoever, in any way arising
from, the terms and provisions of this application, including without (imitation any CEQA
approval or any related development approvals or conditions whether imposed by the
City, or not, except for City's sole active negligence or willful misconduct.
This indemnification condition does not prevent the Applicant from challenging any
decision by the City related to this project and the obligations of this condition apply
regardless of whether any other permits or entitlements are issued.
The City will promptly notify Applicant of any such claim, action, or proceeding,
failing under this condition within thirty (30) days of actually receiving such claim. The City,
in its sole discretion, shall be allowed to choose the attorney or outside law firm to defend
the City at the sole cost and expense of the Applicant and the City is not obligated to use
any law firm or attorney chosen by another entity or party.
REVISIONS OF THE APPROVED PLAN
Any time after site plan approval but before the approval expires you may submit
revisions to the plan. We will treat these revisions as a new site plan application subject to
a new review and required fees. The Planning Director can only approve minor changes
to the original plan without a new application if they are necessary to meet a condition,
mitigation, or result from physical obstacles or other comparable constraints.
EXPIRATION OF PLAN APPROVAL
Approval of this site plan expires on January 30, 2015 (2 years from the decision
date), unless building permits have been issued, or on projects not requiring a building
permit, the use has commenced. The project must be completed within 5 years from the
decision date. If the property is rezoned, site plan approval will expire upon the effective
date for the rezoning unless the use is permitted in the new zone.
The Planning Director may extend the expiration date up to one (1) year if you
resubmit new plans for check against the code requirements in effect at that time and
include a written request for the extension. We must receive this request before expiration
of the project approval. We will not require a fee for this extension request; however,
changes to the plans originally approved for purposes other than code requirements shall
be subject to a new site plan review, including payment of all required fees.

In accordance with the provisions of CEQA, it was found that a previous
Environmental Impact Report certified by the Bakersfield City Council on August 15, 2007
in conjunction with GPA /ZC No. 03 -1544 is adequate for this proposal.
Any person may appeal this decision. An appeal is limited to whether or not an
adopted development standard, zoning regulation, mitigation, or policy applied or not
applied to the project, was done consistent with the authority granted by city ordinances
or the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The appeal must be in writing stating
the precise basis or issue as noted, include a $700 tiling fee, and must be filed within 110
days of the decision date to the City of Bakersfield Planning Commission (c /o Bakersfield
Planning Director, 1715 Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, CA, 93301). The Planning Commission
will hold a public hearing on the appeal and their decision will be final unless their decision
is appealed to the City Council.
Site plan approval is based on the statements made in the application and the
plans you submitted. Any errors or omissions on these plans could alter the compliance list
and /or void this decision. If you have questions about any of the items noted in the Site
Plan Compliance List, you must speak to the contact person representing the department
requiring that item. If you have other questions regarding general information about the
site plan review process, please contact the Planning Division at (661) 326 -3733.

Department).
The current Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan (MBHCP)
expires in year 2014. Projects may be issued an urban development permit,
grading plan approval, or building permit and pay fees prior to the 2014
expiration date under the current MBHCP. As determined by the City of
Bakersfield, only projects ready to be issued an urban development permit,
grading plan approval or building permit before the 2014 expiration date will
be eligible to pay fees under the current MBHCP. Early payment or pre-
payment of MBHCP fees shall not be allowed. The ability of the City to issue
urban development permits is governed by the terms of the MBHCP. Urban
development permits issued after the 2014 expiration date may be subject
to a new or revised Habitat Conservation Plan, if approved, or be required to
comply directly with requests of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agency and the
California Fish and Game Department.
8. A Park Development and Improvement Fee shall be paid of the time of the
building permit being issued. We will base the fee at the rate in effect at the
time the permit is issued. The current fee is $1,716 for each independent
residential unit.
9. Refuse collection bin enclosures and container areas are subject to all
required structural setback from street frontages, and shall not reduce any
parking, loading or landscaping areas as required by the Zoning Ordinance.
10. in the event a previously undocumented oil /gas well is uncovered or
discovered on the project, the developer is responsible to contact the
Department of Conservation's Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal
Resources (DOGGR). The developer is responsible for any remedial
operations on the well required by DOGGR. The developer shall also be
subject to provisions of BMC Section 15.66.080 (B).
]I. Prior to receiving final building or site occupancy, you must contact the
Planning Division (staff contact noted above) for final inspection and
approval of the landscaping, parking lot, lighting and other related site
improvements. Inspections will not be conducted until all required items
have been installed. Any deviations from the approved plans without prior
approval from the Planning Division may result in reconstruction and delays
in obtaining a building or site occupancy.
12. As shown on the preliminary site plan, 10 -foot wide multi- purpose trails shall
be constructed along the site's Buena Vista Road and Campus Park Drive
frontages in accordance with Exhibits 4 -7 and 4-11 of the West Ming Specific
Plan.
MITIGATION MEASURES FROM EIR (GPA /ZC 03- 1544):
13. Prior to grading plan approval, the applicant shall demonstrate to the City of
Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District that all
SPR413 -0009 Page 8 of 18
construction activities and operations will comply with local zoning codes,
and District Regulation VIII (Rules 8011 -8081) and implementation of all other
control measures (BACMs) as stated in GAMAQI. (Mitigation Measure
5.2,B.1.)
14. Prior to the approval of building permits, the applicant shall comply in all
respects with developer's obligations under that certain Air Quality
Mitigation Agreement approved by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution
Control District, and entered into by and between the District and
developer, a copy of which is contained within the appendices of the Air
Quality Assessment in Appendix C of this Draft EIR. Developer's compliance
with the Air Quality Mitigation Agreement will result in a reduction of ROG,
NOx, and PMio net emissions to zero or in quantities sufficient to fully mitigate
the project's air quality impacts to the extent that the development of the
project will result in no net increase in criteria pollutant emissions over the
criteria pollutant emissions which would otherwise exist without the
development of the project, all as verified by the San Joaquin Valley Air
Pollution Control District. Accordingly, the Air Quality Mitigation Agreement
will further reduce ROG net emissions by 68.05 tons per year (from 68.05 tons
per year to 0 tons per year), will further reduce NOx net emissions by 19.20
tons per year (from 19.20 tons per year to 0 tons per year), and will reduce
PMjo net emissions by 38.79 tons per year (from 38.79 tons per year to 0 tons
per year). It should be restated that approximately 39.42 tons per year of
ROG, 28.22 tons per year of NOx, and 43.28 tons per year of PMio, from onsite
agricultural emissions will be subtracted from the proposed project emissions
since they will phased out as the project is developed. (Mitigation Measure
5.2.C.2.)
15. Prior to grading plan approval on the approximately 2,182 -acre site, the
project proponent shall comply with all appropriate terms and conditions of
the MBHCP to the City regarding San Joaquin kit fox. The MBHCP requires
certain take avoidance measures for the San Joaquin kit fox. MBHCP
guidelines regarding tracking and excavation shall be followed to prevent
entrapment of kit fox in dens. Specific measures during the construction
phase of the project shall be implemented and include the following:
A pre - construction survey shall be conducted prior to site grading to
search for active kit fox dens. The survey shall be conducted not more
than 30 days prior to the onset of construction activities in areas subject
to development to determine the necessity of den excavation.
• Monitoring and excavation of each known San Joaquin kit fox den which
cannot be avoided by construction activities.
• Notification of wildlife agencies of relocation opportunity prior to ground
disturbance in areas of known kit fox dens.
• Excavations shall either be constructed with escape romps or covered to
prevent kit fox entrapment. All trenches or steep - walled excavations
greater than three feet deep shall include escape ramps to allow wildlife
to escape. Each excavation shall contain at least one ramp, with long
trenches containing at least one ramp every 0.25 mile. Slope of ramps
shall be no steeper than 1:1.
• All pipes, culverts or similar structures with a diameter of four inches or
greater shall be kept capped to prevent entry of kit fox. If they are not
SPRY 13 -0009
Page 9 of'18
capped or otherwise covered, they will be inspected prior to burial or
closure to ensure no kit foxes, or other protected species, become
entrapped.
All employees, contractors, or other persons involved in the construction
of the project shall attend a "tailgate" session informing them of the
biological resource protection measures that will be implemented for the
project. The orientation shall be conducted by a qualified biologist and
shall include information regarding the life history of the protected
species, reasons for special- sfatus, a summary of applicable
environmental law, and measures intended to reduce impacts. A report
summarizing the date, time, and topics of the "tailgate" session, list of
attendees and identification of qualified biologist conducting session
shall be submitted to the Planning Director within 10 days of the
"tailgate" session.
All food, garbage, and plastic shall be disposed of in closed containers
and regularly removed from the site to minimize attracting kit fox or other
animals. (Mitigation Measure 5.3.A.2.)
16. Since kit foxes are known to exist in the general area, it is recommended that
all construction personnel involved in initial ground disturbance receive
sensitive species instruction prior to initial ground phases of construction. Any
evidence, such as dens, should be avoided and reported to the reviewing
agencies for resolution. (Mitigation Measure 5.3.A.3.)
17. Prior to grading plan approval for the approximate 2,182 -acre site, the
project applicant shall comply with the following raptor nest mitigation:
(Mitigation Measure 5.3.A.4.)
® If site grading is proposed during the avian nesting season (February to
September), a focused survey for avian nests shall be conducted by a
qualified biologist prior to grading activities in order to identify active
nests in areas potentially impacted by project implementation.
® If construction is proposed to take place during the nesting season
(February to September), no construction activity shall take place within
500 feet of an active nest until the young have fledged (as determined
by a qualified biologist). Habitat containing nests that must be removed
as a result of project implementation shall be removed during the non -
breeding season (October to January).
m Preconstruction surveys shall include a survey for burrowing owl. If active
burrowing owl burrows are detected outside of breeding season
(September 1 through January 31), passive and /or active relocation
efforts may be undertaken if approved by CDFG and USFWS. If active
burrowing owl burrows are detected during breeding season (February 1
through August 31), no disturbance to these burrows shall occur in
accordance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
18. The applicant shall be required to survey for nesting raptors following the
survey methodology developed by the Swainson's hawk Technical Advisory
Committee (SWHA TAC, 2000), prior to any disturbance on the project site
that is within 5 miles of a potential nest tree (CDFG, 1994) to ensure that the
findings in the EIR are still applicable and no new measures are required.
However, if new information is found that detects an active nest of a
SPR# 13- -0009 Page 10 of 18
Swainson's hawk within 5 miles of the project site and a potential significant
impact could occur, additional CEQA documentation would be required
as outlined in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines. This additional
environmental documentation may involve consultation with CDFG.
19. The applicant shall be required to conduct trapping prior to ground
disturbance activities to confirm that the Tipton kangaroo rat (Dipodomys
nitratoides nitratoides) is not located on the project site. However, if new
information is found that detects the Tipton kangaroo rat (Dipodomys
nitrotoides nitrotoides) on the project site, potential significant impact could
occur and additional CEQA documentation would be required as outlined
in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines. This additional environmental
documentation may involve consultation with CDFG and United States Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
20. Prior to grading plan approval within the project site, a qualified
archaeologist shall attempt to find evidence of the previously recorded sites.
(Mitigation Measure 5A.A.1.)
® If the qualified archaeologist finds evidence of the previous recorded
sites, the resources shall be evaluated for significance and integrity using
the criteria established in the CEQA Guidelines for unique cultural
resources and /or 36 CFR 60.4 for eligibility for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places. If the resources are found to be significant,
specific measures shall be recommended. In addition, the grading plans
shall state that archaeological monitoring by a qualified archaeologist
and a Native American monitor shall take place during construction
excavation activities at the locations of the 10 cultural sites and 26
isolates that were previously recorded on the site within the project site.
The archaeologist shall prepare a summary report of the monitoring
activities and findings. The report shall be submitted to the City of
Bakersfield Planning Department and other appropriate agencies within
10 days of completion of monitoring.
If the qualified archaeologist does not find evidence of the previous
recorded sites, the grading plans shall state that archaeological
monitoring by a qualified archaeologist and a Native American monitor
shall take place during construction excavation activities at the locations
of fhe 10 cultural sites and 26 isolates that were previously recorded on
the site within the project site. The archaeologist shall prepare a
summary report of the monitoring activities and findings. The report shall
be submitted to the City of Bakersfield Planning Department and other
appropriate agencies within 10 days of completion of monitoring.
Following are the specific measures:
• The archaeological monitor shall attend a pre -grade meeting to explain
the role of the monitor during grading activities.
• If cultural resources are detected within the project area, the cultural
resources must be recorded using appropriate State record forms
(DPR523 series) and following guidelines in the California Office of Historic
Preservation's handbook "Instructions for Recording Historical Resources."
The archaeologist will then submit two (2) copies of the completed
SPRO 13 -0009 Page 11 of 18
DPR523 forms to the Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center for
the assignment of trinomials.
• If cultural resources are detected within the survey areas, they must be
evaluated for significance and integrity using criteria established in the
CEQA Guidelines for unique cultural resources and /or 36 CFR 60.4 for
eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
• If cultural resources are found within the project footprint, appropriate
mitigation measures and recommended conditions of approval must be
developed to eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important,
and unique historical resources, following appropriate CEQA and /or
National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 guidelines.
• A technical resources management report is required. The report must
document the inventory, evaluation, conclusions and mitigation
recommendations. Submit two copies of the completed report, with
original illustrations, to the Southern San Joaquin Valley Information
Center for permanent archiving.
21. Prior to grading plan approval, the grading plans shall state that if human
remains are encountered on the project site, the Kern County Coroner's
Office shall be contacted within 24 hours of the find, and all work in the
immediate vicinity shall be halted until a clearance is given by that office
and any other involved agencies. (Mitigation Measure 5.4.D.1)
22. Prior to grading plan approval, an erosion control plan for construction
activities that describe the best management practices (BMPs) that will be
used to reduce the potential for soil erosion and loss of top soil. The erosion
control plan shall be submitted to the City of Bakersfield Public Works
Department for review and approval. The BMPs could include soil stabilizers
and silt fencing as well as other measures. (Mitigation Measure 5.5.8.1. )
23. Prior to grading plan approval, the grading plans shall state that
construction activities associated with development of the project site would
be required to be in conformance with Section 9.22.050 of the City of
Bakersfield Municipal Code which limits construction to the hours of 6 a.m. to
9 p.m. on weekdays, and between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m, on weekends, where

F. PUBLIC WORKS - SOLID WASTE (Staff contact - John Wilburn 661 - 326 -3114)
You must contact the staff person noted above before building permits can
be issued or work be-gins on the property to establish the level and a of
service necessary for the collection of refuse and /or recvcled materials.
Collection locations must provide enough containment area for the refuse
that is generated without violating required zoning or setback restrictions
(see Planning Division conditions). Levels of service are based on how often
collection occurs as follows:
Cart service I cubic yard /week or less I time per week
Front loader bin services -- 1 cubic yard /week - 12 cubic yards /day
Roll -off compactor service -- More than 12 cubic yards /day
