the Economic and Community Development Department, it is necessary to revise the ordinance to provide
flexibility in staff coverage for the Board of Zoning Adjustment by adding the Community Development
Coordinator as an alternate.

an E Zone on 80 acres, Located West of Calloway Drive, Generally North of Snow Road. This change
would permit the development of single family units. The Planning Commission recommended City Council

Resolutions:
Item 4h. Resolution Dispensinq with Biddinq Procedures Due to Emerqency Cleanup Required for Sewer
Spill at the Corner of McCutchen Road and Gosford Road, in an amount not to exceed $210,906. O.
Wednesday June 16, 2004, Wastewater Treatment Plant 3 experienced multiple power outages ~md a
malfunction in the sewage pumps at the Plant. Early Thursday morning, June 17t~, wastewater spilled out of
the collection system onto land in the vicinity of the intersection of McCuthchen and Gosford Roads.
Approximately six acres of the farmland was flooded. City and outside forces removed the wastewater and
disinfected it. They then removed the wet soil and imported clean soil, which was spread and leveled. The
farmer was compensated for his lost crop.
Due to the emergency nature of incident, there was no time for staff to contract for services. Contractor /
vendor payments totaling $210,906 were incurred for the emergency cleanup. The funding source for these
expenses was the Sewer Enterprise Fund.
Item 41. Resolution Approvinq Development Plan for the Construction of a 159-Unit Apartment Complex
Located at 1000 River Ranch Drive within an R-2/PUD Zone District. On July 21,t, the City Council
referred this item to staff to facilitate discussion between the applicant and the area residents. The
residents did not object to the development of the apartment project. Their concerns related to the increase
of traffic into the neighborhood that would worsen the traffic circulation in the neighborhood.
Area residents met with the developer, engineer, and Public Works, Traffic Engineering, and Planning
Department staff. At the conclusion of the meeting, the City's Traffic Engineering representative offered to
have two traffic evaluations prepared. The first is to review the possibility of stop signs on some of the
neighborhood streets, and the second is to study whether the intersection of River Ranch Drive and
Brimhali warrants a traffic signal. These studies will begin in the next few weeks. The neighborhood
representatives agreed to allow the project to move ahead with assurance that the Public Works
Department would review the traffic issues stated above.
The Planning Commission approved the P.U.D. development plans on June 3, 2004. The City Council
approved the R-2/P.U.D. zoning for the site on February 11, 2004. Council's consideration of this

development plan review is limited to architectural design. Design details are listed in the administrative
report.
The proposed project is adjacent to an established single- and multi-family residential neighborhood, and
consists primarily of four-plexes on 40 lots to be constructed in two phases for a total of 159 units. The
project site is an infill project and is in close proximity to existing and future commercial services, schools
and parks.
Aqreements:
Item 4bb. Aqreement with Microsoft Corporation in an amount not to exceed $200.000. This action by the
Council will do two things. First, it will approve a five-year Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft Corporation
that allows the City to install the latest version of Microsoft products on City computers. The City is not
required to purchase anything under this agreement; rather, the agreement allows the City to participate if it
chooses. Second, it accepts the Iow bid for that Microsoft Office Software from CompuCom Systems, Inc.
Item 4cc. Annexation Aqreement with Ed Coyne. Developer, Ed Coyne, desires to purchase 600+ acres of
land immediately south of Rio Bravo county Club and annex it into the City. This agreement outlines City
consideration for Mr. Coyne bringing development into the City limits.
Item 4dd. ExchanQe of Real Property Located at Renfro Road and Rider Street Extended. Staff is currently
processing the specific plan line for the interchange at the Westside Parkway and the West Beltway through
the Planning Commission. The interchange layout results in the need to acquire additional land from the
adjoining property owner, Lennar Homes of California, Inc. The City will be exchanging 1.24 acres of the
existing Parkway alignment for 5.33 acres of Lennar's development, and paying Lennar $163,600 for the
4.09 acre difference. As a result of this change, Lennar has had to redesign their development, and the City
has agreed to pay for these additional costs. Some of the costs will be off-set by decreased costs resulting
from the redesign. A benefit of this redesign is that no homes will have to be taken.
Item 4ee. Amendment No. 1 to Aqreement No. 04-086 with the Law Firm of Duane Morris for Outside
Leqal Services in the matter before the California Public Utilities Commission relatinq to the Kern Power
Plant in an amount of $25,000 (total contract not to exceed $75,000). The amendment is the result of
outstanding invoices in reference to the most recent PUC decision, and the continuing efforts of the firm to
work closely with staff to find a permanent resolution to the situation.
Items 4hh, ii, ii, and kk. Amendments to Aqreements for Additional On-Call Civil Enqineerinq Services.
This on-call program has proven to be very effective for providing timely design and surveying services to
the City. The amendments are in the amount of $150,000 each for the following four firms: 1) Mclntosh &
Associates, 2) Meyer Civil Engineering, 3) Quad Knopf, inc., and 4) Ruettgers & Schular Civil Engineers.
With staff cutbacks, these contracts are necessary to keep advancing the Capital Improvement Program in
a timely manner.
Item 4mm. Contract Chan(~e Order No. 2 to Aqreement No. 03-243 with S. C. Anderson Inc. for the
McMurtre¥ Aquatic Center Project in the amount of $33,132.90. The awarded contract amount was
$5,853,800. The net increase for this change order totals $33,132.90, for a revised contract amount of
$5,934,584.82.
Bids:
Item 4rr. Extend Bid from Quinn Company for One Replacement Articulated Four-Wheel Drive Loader, with
Budqets and Grapple Fork, for the Solid Waste Division in the amount of $202,506.95. At the April 14,
2004 Council Meeting, Quinn Company was awarded the bid for the purchase of three.articulate four wheel
drive loaders. The specifications allow for purchase of additional units at the same cost at the original price,
if both parties agree.

CONSENT CALENDAR HEARINGS
Items 5a. General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe for 81+ Acres Located Approximately 1.800 Feet South
of State Route 58 alonq the South Side of Shirley Lane (Extended/ between South Sterlinq Street
(extended~ and South Oswell Street fextended). The applicant, Mclntosh & Associates, proposes to
construct 325 single-family dwellings on the subject site and has applied for annexation to the City. The
Planning Commission recommended City Council approval on June 17, 2004. The Commission was
concerned about the proposed location of a public park, so they added language to ensure that it will be
consistent with the policy that neighborhood parks should be located adjacent to collector or local streets,
rather than arterial streets.
Item 5b. General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe for 3.71 Acres Located on the East Side of Patton Way,
North of Meanv Avenue. The applicant, M.S. Walker & Associates, is proposing to construct a mini-storage
facility that will contain 82,800 sq. ft. of storage, one office space (577 sq. ft.), and one apartment (1,218 sq.
ft.). The project site was zoned for Automobile Parking (P) in 1990. The purpose of the zoning was to
provide a land use buffer between the single-family residences adjacent to the north and the industrial uses
to the south. The proposal would provide an ideal land use buffer in this case.
The residences located adjacent to the north of the project site submitted a petition expressing concerns
regarding fire protection, lighting, and glare from roofs. Prior to the Planning Commission meeting on June
17, 2004, the applicant met with the residences to address their concerns. From that meeting, the applicant
agreed to modify the project to alleviate the issues.
Item 5c. General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe on Approximately 50 Acres, Located Generally South of
Panama Lane, Generally East of South Union Avenue. The applicant, SmithTech/USA Inc., is proposes the
development of single family residential units. The Planning Commission recommended City Council
approval on June 16, 2004. No one was in opposition to the request and the applicant agreed to all
conditions and mitigation for the project. The Planning Commission added a condition with concurrence
with the applicant and property owneddeveloper to provide curb, gutter and sidewalk between the site, and
South Union Avenue along the south side of Panama Lane.
Item 5d. General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe, Ordinance Amendment and Williamson Act Cancellation
for 77 Acres, Located Generally North of Panama Lane to Pensinqer Road, West of Buena Vista Road.
The applicant, Mclntosh & Associates, is proposing a development of single family units. The Planning
Commission recommended City Council approval on June 17, 2004. No one was in opposition to the
request and the applicant agreed to alt conditions and mitigation for the project.
Item 5e. Continued Hearinq of Appeals by Mclntosh & Associates of Determination of Incompleteness for
Various Tracts in the "City in the Hills" Development Located between State Route 178 and Paladino Drive,
West of Masterson. The appeal on the completeness of tract maps has been withdrawn. The item appears
here only to complete the record on the matter.
CLOSED SESSION
There will be conferences with legal counsel regarding one case of anticipated litigation and four cases of
existing litigation. There will also be a conference with the labor negotiator.

CONTINUATION OF REGULAR MEETING -7:00 p.m.
HEARINGS
item 12a. Continued Public Hearinq to Consider Resolution Chanqinq the Name of Windsonq Street to
Ashley Castle Street, and Resolution to Amend the Chanqinq of the Street Name Policy. This hearing was
continued from the July 7th Council meeting to allow for further consideration of this request and to allow the
applicant, Brian Castle, to consider alternatives. Numerous letters in support and opposition to the name
change have been received. Regardless of the outcome, staff believes very strongly that the street name
policy should be amended to state that street name changes to recognize accident victims will no longer be
received or considered.
Item 12b. General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe for 80 Acres Generally Located alonq the South Side of
Panama Lane approximately 11485 Feet East of Buena Vista Road. The applicant, SmithTech/USA Inc.,
proposes to construct single-family dwellings on the site and has applied for annexation to the City. The
Planning Commission recommended City Council disapproval on June 16, 2004. The Commission
determined that the proposed project is inconsistent with both the adjacent agricultural land uses and the
Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan policy.
The applicant appealed the Commission's decision, stating that the project site is within the City's growth
path, compatible with existing and proposed uses in the area and the agricultural impact study shows that
the conversion from agricultural is less than significant. Staff recommends upholding the appeal because
infrastructure is available and housing is under construction across the street. This is a case of the
Planning Commission being out of harmony with City Council goals and policies.
DEFERRED BUSINESS
Item 13a. Approve Transfer of the Holiday Inn Select to Newport Hospitality Group, as the Ownership Entity
and Briqhton Hospitality Corporation as the Manaqement Entity. On July 21, 2004, Council approved the
transfer of the Holiday Inn Select to Brighton Management, LLC. Subsequent to that meeting, staff received
a request from Brighton to have the entity named in the transfer changed to Newport Hospitality Group.
Legal staff opined that Council would have to approve the transfer to an entity other than the one approved
on July 21st. The Newport Hospitality Group and Brighton Hospitality Group are owned by Mr. Fan, who
owns Brighton Management, LLC. Explanatory letters are in the packet which show this is the common
ownership structure for hotel properties.
NEW BUSINESS
Item 14a. Aqreement with County of Kern reqardinq Sphere of Influence Boundaries, Development
Standards and Zoninq Requirements. The City has applied to the Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO) for an expansion of its Sphere of Influence as requested by property owners. As required, City
and County representatives met to draft an agreement with respect to plans, zoning and development
standards for the area within the Sphere. The meeting was very positive primarily because both entities
have been working over the past 20 years toward consistency in planning, zoning, development standards
and building codes in the metropolitan area of Bakersfield.
The Board of Supervisors approved the agreement on August 3, 2004. This agreement must be given
"great weight" by LAFCO in considering the proposed Sphere. Their action also agreed that the General
Plan, zoning and development standards required by the County will serve to guide development of those
areas of the proposed Sphere expansion pending annexation to the City.
Thanks are due the County Planning Director, Administrative Office and Board of Supervisors for their
support in this matter.

Item 14b. Jefferson Pool Rehabilitation and Wet Play Area. This project will reconstruct Jefferson Pool into
two separate pools; a 25-yard competition pool and a recreation pool with a three-foot depth area for
smaller children and beginning swimmers. The Wet Play Area was added to the project to provide a zero
depth interactive spray pad,
S.C. Anderson, Inc. submitted the only bid. That bid exceeded the Engineer's Estimate by $336,500. After
receiving that bid, staff reviewed several options and now recommends that the City move forward with
construction of this project, and awarding the contract to S.C. Anderson, Inc. in the amount of $2,275,800.
Funding for this project will be provided by Park Improvement Funds; Central District Park Development
Funds; Community Block Grant Funds and Section 108 Funds. Additional appropriations in the amount of
$335,000 are required to cover the costs of this bid, plus approximately a 5% contingency.
Item 14c. Aqreement with the Tree Foundation of Kern for Reimbursement of Trees and Plantinq Materials
within City Parks and Public Riqht-of-Ways in an amount not to exceed $281400 . The Tree Foundation of
Kern recently received a Proposition 12 grant from the State of California-Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection for planting of trees and materials within City parks and public right of ways. The Foundation
does not have the financial capacity to purchase the trees and materials. This agreement provides that the
City will pay for Foundation purchases of trees and planting materials up to $28,400. The Foundation will
invoice the State for reimbursement of the funds expended and, in turn, reimburse the City.
The project area boundary is 24th Street and 16th Street on the north and south, and Oak Street and G
Street on the west and east. Most of the trees will be planted in public streetscapes adjacent to businesses
and residences. Some of the trees will be planted in Jastro Park.
There are no funds in the grant budget for installation, so the trees will be installed by volunteers. Staff is
presenting this as a discussion item because of a recent State decision involving a requirement to pay
prevailing wage rates on certain public works projects receiving State grant funds. Fortunately, legislation
has been drafted that would allow volunteers to be used in certain projects, such as the Tree Foundation's
project. Staff's research into the issue indicates that there is general support for the bill, so we are hopeful
that this issue will be resolved soon. Therefore staff recommends approval of the agreement.

First Reading of Ordinance amending Section 2,28.090 of the Bakersfield Munl~ Code
Relating to Board of Zoning Adjustment adding the Community Development Coordinator
as alternate. (Wards All)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Zoning Adjustment is a permanent committee appointed by the City Council to consider
specific land use matters of a technical nature that includes conditional use permits and zoning
modifications of development standards. The Board is comprised of three regular and alternate members.
Members are the Building Director, Economic Development Director and the Public Works Director, who
hold public meetings on the second Tuesday of each month in the City Council Chambers.
Due to recent organizational shifts within the Economic and Community Development Department, it is
necessary to revise the ordinance to provide flexibility in staff coverage for the Board of Zoning Adjustment
by adding the Community Development Coordinator as an alternate. Currently, the Principal Planner
assigned to the Economic Development Department is the only alternate.

BACKGROUND:
This change would permit the development of single family units on the 80 acre site. The Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing on this Zone Change and recommended City Council
approval on July 15, 2004. No one was in opposition to the request and the applicant agreed to all
conditions and mitigation for the project.
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a significant
effect on the environment. Therefore, a negative declaration was prepared and posted on May 17,
2004, in accordance with CEQA.

An ordinance amending subsection 14.12.270(B) and repealing section
14.12.410 and adding new sections 14.12.410 through 14.12.417 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to Sewer Permits and Violations.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends second reading and adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND: As specified in 40 CFR 403.8(f)(5), the City of Bakersfield is required by federal law
to develop an Enforcement Response Plan (ERP). City Staff, working with Carollo Engineers, has
developed an ERP that contains detailed procedures indicating how the City investigates and responds to
instances of Industrial User (tU) noncompliance (illegal industrial waste discharge to the sanitary sewer
system.)
This ERP provides guidance for actions taken in response to all types of IU violations; the time periods
within which responses will take place; and identifies the official(s) responsible for each type of response.
The trial period has concluded and the staff has modified the procedures to make them most suitable for
the City's operation and is ready to have the ERP finalized. In order for the ERP to work, the Municipal
Code sections listed above must be repealed or amended. These Municipal Code revisions are
necessary to give City staff authority to enact the ERP to control illegal discharges of industrial waste to
the sewer system and to prevent damage to our wastewater treatment plants and the environment. The
actions required are to amend subsection 14.12.270(B), to repeal section 14.21.410, and to add new
sections 14.12.410 through 14.12.417.
City staff will, after adoption of the ordinance amendment, recommend the adoption of the Enforcement
Response Plan.

Ordinance adopting a negative declaration and amending Section 17.06.020(Zone Map
No.103-22) of Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the zoning
from a PCD (Planned Commercial Development) zone to a revised PCD (Planned
Commercial Development) zone on 7.5+ acres generally located on the southeast
corner of Mount Vernon Avenue and State Highway 178 to allow a 48,183 square foot
commercial shopping center.(Developer: Cahan Properties) (File # 04-0480) (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council held first reading of the ordinance on July 21,2004.
On July 1, 2004, the Planning Commission recommended approval of PCD Zone Change #04-
0480 to allow development of a mixed use commercial shopping center· The project site is located
at the southeast corner of State Highway 178 and Mount Vernon Avenue. The shopping center
proposed by Zone Change #04-0480 reduces the total building square footage of the previously
approved PCD from 67,300 to 48,183 square feet. The previously approved grocery store building
has been changed to depict a large retail store (OfficeMax) and an in-line tenant building. In
addition, a restaurant pad and retail pad have been added. Four pads fronting Mount Vernon
Avenue remain. Building plan checking is nearly complete on two of these for pads for fast food
restaurants.
No one spoke at the public hearing and the applicant has agreed all the conditions of approval.
Past actions on the project site include approval of General Plan Amendment and concurrent Zone
Change #P00-0744 on February 14, 2001. The Council approved General Commercial land use
designation on the project site and the adjacent Home Depot property, which covered 27.9 acres.
Council approved C-2 (Commercial) zoning for the Home Depot site and required the remaining
area west of Home Depot to be developed pursuant a PCD (Planned Commercial Development)
zone. PCD ZC #04-0480 complies with the GPA condition to develop the property under a PCD
zone.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
In September 2002, the City Council approved PCD Zone Change 02-0263. This PCD consisted of
67,300 square foot shopping center including a grocery store and four fast food restaurants. Much
of the discussions focused on internal circulation of the shopping center. Several conditions
related to traffic improvements along the extension of Mall View Road through the project site to
Mount Vernon Avenue were adopted. These conditions have been carried over and included in
the conditions of approval for PCD Zone Change 04-0480. The developer is required to extend the
second east bound lane and channelize to provide a trap right turn lane at the first north-south
parking aisle. Street improvements along Mt. Vernon Avenue have been completed with the Home
Depot construction.
The proposed architecture of the OfficeMax and in-line tenant building depicts single stoW
buildings. The color scheme includes brown and beige stucco finish on the top half of the buildings,
and split-face block on the bottom half of the front elevation. Red metal batons and round steel
columns provide contrasting accent. A decorative cornice runs along the roofline of the in-line
tenant building. The elevation of the retail pad building continues the same brown/beige stucco
finish with block pilasters. A cornice trims the roofline and red metal columns accent the main
entrance. The restaurants each have an oversized parapet over the entrance and carry the similar
color schemes as the retail buildings.
The landscape plans depict the silk tree, fern pine and afghan pine. Shrubs and ground cover
include daylilies, privets India hawthorn star jasmine and turf. Most of the applicant's landscaping
plan appears to be consistent with Zoning Ordinance requirements, except for minor additions,
including but not limited to installing a 7-foot wide landscape strip along the entire south boundary
of the commercial site, providing the 40% shade coverage, and additional trees in some parking
areas and building frontages. Final landscape plans are required to comply with the Zoning
Ordinance.
Based on ordinance requirements, the proposed 7.5 acre shopping center would be required a
minimum 345 parking spaces. The site plan shows 345 parking spaces. However, the required
Fire Lane adjacent the in-line retail building eliminates 14 parking spaces. The developer shall
need to reduce building square footage to meet the parking ordinance requirements. The site plan
depicts shared drive aisles and internal street connection between the subject property and Home
Depot. A covenant or easement for reciprocal parking and access is required.
There is a remnant stretch of right-of-way, which had served as a frontage road paralleling Mount
Vernon Avenue as access to an existing church located north of the shopping center. As a
condition of the approval for related GPA #P00-0744, this frontage road would not be used for
traffic. Access to the church is now provided through the shopping center between the Home
Depot and this shopping center site. The City retains the right-of-way for this frontage road to use
in the future for the redesign of the Hwy. 178 on-ramp from Mount Vernon. As previously
conditioned, until that on-ramp project is ready for construction, staff recommends the developer
install a landscape strip (per Landscape Ordinance standards) along the east and west sides of the
remnant right-of-way. One 10-foot wide landscape strip would be behind the sidewalk along the
west side of this right-of-way that would be removed upon construction of the on-ramp project. The
second landscape strip would be minimum 10-feet wide along the east boundary of the right-of-
way and be permanent. A 10~foot wide landscape strip would also be constructed across the south
boundary of the remnant right-of-way. This landscaping would be maintained by the developer.
Staff is of the opinion that these requirements would greatly enhance the aesthetics of the
shopping center from Mount Vernon Avenue (an arterial street) and reduce confusion of drivers
seeing regular travel lanes on Mount Vernon Avenue and a frontage road that is no longer in use.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Based upon an initial environmental assessment, staff has determined the proposed project will not
significantly affect the physical environment or existing residential development in the area,
therefore a Negative Declaration was prepared and advertised in accordance with CEQA.

Resolution dispensing with bidding procedures due to emergency cie required for
sewer spill at the corner of McCutchen Road and Gosford Road, not to exceed $210,906
0Nard 6).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: This administrative report provides a summary of actual costs incurred for the
emergency cleanup required for the sanitary sewer spill.
Background Information
On Wednesday June 16th, 2004 Wastewater Treatment Plant 3 experienced multiple power outages and a
malfunction in the sewage pumps at the Plant. These outages also contributed to a breakdown in the
City's emergency calK-out system. Early Thursday morning, June 17th, sewer wastewater spilled out of the
collection system onto land in the vicinity of the intersection of McCuthchen and Gosford Roads. The
intersection is located one mile south of Panama Lane and Gosford.
The property at the southwest corner is occupied by Golden Valley Concrete Company and Structurecast.
Golden Valley operates a concrete batch plant at the location and Structurecast makes pre-cast concrete
products. Wastewater from these sites was removed and disinfected.
Most of the wastewater however, went on the property at the northwest corner of McCutchen and Gosford.
Approximately 6 acres of the farmland was flooded. City and outside forces were mobilized to remove the
wastewater, remove wet soil, import olean soil, spread and level it. The farmer was oompensated for his
lost crop.
The attached memo from the Public Works Director provides more detailed information on the emergency
cleanup and outlines what steps will be implemented to prevent a reoccurrence.
Summary of Costs
The attached Resolution authorizes the dispensing of bidding requirements as set forth in Section
3.20.060 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code. Contractor/vendor payments totaling $210,906 were incurred
for the emergency cleanup. This amount excludes labor costs incurred by City staff. The funding source
for these expenses was the Sewer Enterprise Fund.

SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the Bakersfield Police Department to submit grant applications to
the U.S. Department of Justice Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (L.LE.B.G.) Program every year for
the next five (5) years.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the adoption of this resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1996 the City of Bakersfield Police Department has applied to and received grant funding from the
U.S. Department of Justice Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (L.L.E.B.G) Program. The L.LE.B.G.
Program provides funds to units of local government to underwrite projects to reduce crime and
improve public safety.
The grant amount being offered for 2004 is $62,912.00. The grant requires a 10% match of grant
funds ($6,990.00). The 10% match will be funded by the Asset Forfeiture Fund of the Bakersfield
Police Department, and will not impact the City's General Fund.
In an effort to streamline the grant application process in future years, this resolution authorizes
the City to apply for this grant every year for the next five years.
The purpose of this resolution is only to give the City the authority to apply for this grant. Once
the grant is applied for and awarded, a second administrative report will be brought before the
City Council for the purpose of conducting a public hearing to consider proposed L.L.E.B.G.
expenditures and the appropriation of the L.L.E.B.G. award to the General Fund Police
Department Operating Budget.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW - 2210 MING AVENUE (PROJECT NO. 04-0~92)
Resolution approving Development Plans for the addition of a 1,056 square foot modular
office building to an existing 74+ acre site commercial office site, within a C-O/PCD
(Professional and Administrative Office/Planned Commercial Development) zone district.
(Ward 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution approving the P.C.D. Development Plan for 2210 Ming Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission recommends approval of this development plan.
The applicant is requesting approval of development plans to allow the addition of a 1,056 square
foot modular office building to an existing commercial office site. The site is zoned C-O/PCD
(Professional and Administrative Office/Planned Commercial Development Overlay). The PCD
overlay requires that the development plans be approved by the Planning Commission at a noticed
public hearing, and by the City Council. A public hearing by the City Council is not required unless
the Council decides to disapprove the Planning Commission's recommendation, or add to or change
the conditions of the project (BMC 17.54.030 C.,D.).
The project site is within the boundaries of Ming Avenue No. 9 Annexation, which was approved by
the City Council on August 8, 2001 (annexation effective November 1, 2002). Ming Avenue No. 9
incorporated the area on the north side of Ming Avenue between Baldwin Road, Anita Lane and
June Avenue into the City limits. Development plans for establishment of the existing office were
approved by the Council on January 15, 2003.
Conditions of approval contained in the attached resolution incorporate the conditions of approval for
GPA/ZC 02-0316 (approved by the City Council on August 21, 2002), Site plan Review Conditions
and discretionary conditions added at Planning Commission.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The Planning Commission unanimously approved this development plan on July 1, 2004 as they
found the proposal met all minimum development standards and appropriate mitigation measures
imposed by GPA/ZC 02-0316 by the City Council. No comments either in support or opposition
were presented as part of the record. Since the proposal satisfies all required conditions and
mitigation, the Planning Commission has recommended that this development plan be approved.

Traffic Engineering, and Planning Department staff. At the conclusion of the meeting, the
neighborhood residents agreed to allow for Mr. Froelich's project move ahead with assurance from
the Public Works Department that neighborhood circulation issues would be studied as explained
below.
The residents did not object to the development of the apartment project. Their concerns related to
the increase of traffic into the neighborhood that would worsen the traffic circulation in the
neighborhood. They expect apartment residents would use the neighborhood streets to access the
traffic signal at Harvest Creek Road in order to turn west onto Brimhall Road. The neighborhood
currently has problems with speeding, and the volume of cars, especially on Sand Creek Dr. and
Harvest Creek Rd. They are also concerned that the traffic endangers the neighborhood children.
The residents suggested a street connection on the east side of the apartments, instead of the
ones connecting to River Ranch Drive, White Rock Drive, and Fox Run Drive.
Mr. Froelich, the developer, explained that there is no room to construct a street to the east for the
apartments because the towedines present a physical constraint and limit the usable area of the
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
property located east of the apartment site. The towerlines are located east of the apartment site.
As a condition of approval of the related tract map for the apartment project, the east side of River
Ranch Drive will be constructed, and the intersection of River Ranch and White Rock Drives will be
a "T" intersection, which eliminates what the residents say is a dangerous curve.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the City's Traffic Engineering representative offered to have two
traffic evaluations prepared. The first is to review the possibility of stop signs on some of the
neighborhood streets, especially along Harvest Creek Road. The second is to study whether River
Ranch Drive and Brimhall warrants a traffic signal. These studies will begin in the next few weeks.
The neighborhood representatives agreed to allow Mr. Froelich's project move ahead with
assurance that the Public Works Department would review the traffic issues stated above.
The Planning Commission approved the P.U.D. development plans on June 3, 2004. City Council
approved the R~2/P.U.D. zoning for the site on February 11, 2004. The proposed project is
located on 400 feet south of Brimhall Road, approximately 1,000 feet west of Brimhall.
In addition to the Planning Commission hearing, this project has received previous public hearings
and approvals that include General Plan Amendment and Zone Change #03-1178 approved in
February 2004 changing the land use entitlements from commercial to multiple family residential.
On May 20, 2004, the Planning Commission also approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map 6295 for
this project. In all, there have been four noticed public hearings on this project. The project was
also featured in an article in the Bakersfield Californian. No appeals were filed on the Planned
Development Review or any of the related applications. In accordance with the ordinance
requirement of the R-2/PUD designation, the site plan for this development is a perfunctory action
before the City Council. Council's consideration of this development plan review is limited to
architectural design. Since the Planning Commission approval in June, several residents have
contacted staff to voice concerns with increased traffic and the location of the entrances to the
apartment development.
The proposed project is adjacent to an established single and multiple family residential
neighborhood. The northernmost primary access is off River Ranch Drive, a local street, which
currently carries multiple family and single family residential traffic from Brimhall Road into the
neighborhood and the project area. The second access is from Fox Run Drive, a local street,
which was planned to extend from the single family residential neighborhood to the east into the
project area. Both access points to the project will be gated. The concern has to do with the
multiple family residential traffic sharing the existing streets that serve the neighborhood.
The project consists of primarily four-plexes on 40 lots to be constructed in two phases for a total of
159 units. The recreational amenities include an office/clubhouse with swimming pool and an open
space turfed area.
The typical design is for two buildings to front onto a common drive to access garages. The unit
facing the street depicts architectural features such as arch facades, window with exterior trim, and
varying rooflines and gables. The gated private street has 90 degree angle parking to serve as
guest parking. The development is required to provide a minimum of 477 parking spaces per
ordinance. There are 441 regular parking spaces shown on the proposed site plan. In addition,
there are 318 tandem spaces. The tandem spaces are located in the front of the garages. A total of
759 spaces are shown on proposed site plan. The project would be short about 51 regular parking
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page3
spaces. Per BMC Section 17.58.110 (3), the Planning Director may approve tandem spaces to be
counted toward meeting the minimum parking requirements. Tandem spaces must be the
standard size of a regular parking space at 9' wide x 18' long. The tandem parking provided for
each unit would more than accommodate the shortage of regular parking spaces No parking shall
be allowed along the bulb portion of the cul-de-sacs in order to provide enough turning clearance
for emergency (fire trucks) and public service (garbage trucks).
In order to provide for the visual relief along the street frontages, the applicant has alteroated the
parking areas with landscaped areas. These landscaped areas provide for the meandering
sidewalk. The end unit faces the street. The resulting visual appearance is consistent with the
intent of the City's ordinance of providing staggered setbacks along the street for multiple family
dwellings with 4 units or less.
The single-story apartment units will be constructed of stucco with brick and wood trim, will be
painted earth tones and will have tile roofing. There are four different elevations proposed. The
elevations show alternate window shapes and treatments, such as shutters, plant ledges, and
different patterns in the windowpanes. Parapets are shown in varying widths and heights.
The landscaping plan depicts a variety of evergreen and deciduous tress including Bay Laurel,
southern magnolia, evergreen Chinese elm, red oak, red maple, white alder, ash, Chinese
pistache, crape myrtle and palm trees. Hypercium, star jasmine, ice plant, gazania and turf are the
proposed ground covers. At a minimum, landscaping shall conform to the City's Zoning Ordinance.
The project site is an infill project and is ideally located for a multi-family residential development.
The site is in close proximity to existing and future commercial services, schools and parks.
Residents could walk or bike a short distance to jobs and services.
Based upon an initial environmental assessment in conjunction with related Vesting Tentative Tract
Map 6295, staff has determined the proposed project will not significantly affect the physical
environment or existing residential development in the area, therefore a Negative Declaration was
prepared.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting resolution.
BACKGROUND: On April 28, 2004, Council approved the Resolution 177-04 levying
assessments of unpaid principal for parcels within the boundaries of the City of Bakersfield
Assessment District 03-3(Seven Oaks West Ill/Brighton Place II/Fairway Oaks South). The
Bond issue amount was estimated to be $6,625,000.
Subsequent to the adoption of Resolution 177-04, the actual amount of bonds issued for the district
was $6,455,000($170,000 less than originally estimated). This resolution authorizes an "amended"
assessment lien be recorded to reduce the lien amount for the various parcels within the
assessment district, as detailed in Exhibit A to this resolution. The amended levy amounts are
lower than the original levy amounts and they more accurately reflect the actual amount of unpaid
principal bonds outstanding.

Memorandum of Agreement between the Kern Council of Governments ~'~the'/Oity of
Bakersfield for a $30,000.00 KernCOG grant for the preparation of the Fair Housing,
Analysis of Impediments.
1) Appropriate $30,000.00, Technical Assistance Grant funds to the Economic
Development, Operating Budget within the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines, in order to
continue to receive Community Development Block Grant program funds, the City must prepare a
Consolidated Plan every five years. The plan is a strategic plan that addresses how the City will use HUD
programs to improve the housing and community development activity for the Iow-income population of its
jurisdiction. One component of that plan is an Analysis of Impediments for Fair Housing Choices.
The Analysis of Impediments is a comprehensive review of a judsdiction's laws, regulations, and
administrative policies, procedures, and practices affecting the location, availability, and accessibility of
housing as it relates to fair housing choice. The Analysis of Impediments is also a disclosure and review
of impediments to fair housing choice in the public and pdvate sector. The research and analysis shall be
focused within the city limits of Bakersfield and conducted by an outside consultant.
The last Analysis of Impediments was conducted five years ago and the City of Bakersfield has since
grown and seen an increase in population. To assist with the study, the Economic and Community
Development Department has requested and been granted a technical assistance grant for FY 2004-05
from the Kern Council of Governments in the amount of $30,000 to analyze fair housing impediments that
may be caused by transportation issues within the City.

assistance in the preparation of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing C[ )ice; in
preparation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Consolidated Plan
2010.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.

The City received a $30,000 grant from Kern Council of Government to hire a consultant to prepare a
comprehensive analysis identifying the impediments for fair housing choice.
The Analysis of impediments is a comprehensive review of a jurisdiction's laws, regulations, and
administrative policies, procedures, and practices affection the location, availability, and accessibility of
housing as it relates to fair housing choice. The Analysis of Impediments is also a disclosure and review
of impediments to fair housing choice in the public and pdvate sector. The research and analysis shall be
focused within the city limits of Bakersfield and conducted by an outside consultant.
The last Analysis of Impediments was conducted five years ago and the City of Bakersfield has since
grown and seen an increase in population. To assist with the study, the Economic and Community
Development Department has requested and been granted a technical assistance grant for FY 2004-05
from the Kern Council of Governments in the amount of $30,000 to analyze fair housing impediments that
may be caused by transportation issues within the City.
Staff received five consultant proposals. Through a process of in-depth evaluations interviews and
subsequent ranking by Economic and Community Development Department staff,
Cotton/Bridges/Associates was selected based on overall completeness of the proposal, depth and
breadth of experience in preparing Analysis of Impediments, past performance and cost.

1. Approve Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft Corporation; and
Accept Iow bid of CompuCom Systems, Inc., to provide Microsoft Products
to the City under the Enterprise Agreement in an amount not to exceed
$200,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Agreement and acceptance of the bid.
BACKGROUND:
In the past, we have purchased Microsoft products using a price negotiated by the Riverside
County, California and the City is using the same process for this bid as it provides the lowest price for
Microsoft products available (lower than prices negotiated by the state of California). Last year, the City
spent $203,833.00 on Microsoft products that will be covered by this agreement. The same items on the
new contract will cost approximately $155,000.00.
This action by the Council will do two things. First, it will approve a five year Enterprise Agreement
with Microsoft Corporation that allows the City to install the latest version of Microsoft products on City
computers. The agreement covers server and desktop software that is used for producing letters and
spreadsheets to running the City's databases and website.
The City is not required to purchase anything under this agreement; rather, the agreement allows the City
to participate if it chooses. Second, it accepts the Iow bid for that Microsoft Office Software from
CompuCom Systems, Inc.

Exchange of Real Prope~ Io~ted at Renfro Road and Johnson Street with~nna{ Homes
of California, Inc. ~ard 4):
1. Memorandum of Understanding with Lennar Homes to Exchange Real Property.
2. Appropriate $175,000 Transportation Development Fund Balance to the Capital
improvement Project Budget for the exchange.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement and appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has had the consultant for the Westside Parkway project conduct preliminary engineering for an
interchange at the Westside Parkway and the West Beltway, and the City of Bakersfield is currently
processing the specific plan line for the interchange through the Planning Commission. The interchange
layout results in the need to acquire additional land from the adjoining property owner, Lennar Homes of
California, Inc., who purchased Coleman Homes. The City will be exchanging 1.24 acres of the existing
Westside Parkway aiingment for 5.33 acres of Lennar's development and paying Lennar $163,600 for the
4.09 acre difference. Also, Lennar has had to redesign their development because of the City's request,
and the City has agreed to pay for these additional costs. Some of these costs will be off-set by
decreased costs resulting from the redesign. As a result of this on-going effort, no homes will have to be
taken for the interchange. Both parties have agreed to move forward on the exchange of properties so
that Lennar can move forward with their development, and have agreed to work together on quantifying
the costs resulting from Lennar having to redesign their development to accommodate the interchange.
On August 19, 2004, the Bakersfield Planning Commission will be asked to approve the specific plan line
for the interchange, and find the exchange of properties consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010
General Plan.

Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 04-086 (previously known as Agree/~.nt i~d~/. C..A 03.
053) in an amount of $25,000 (total contract not to exceed $75,000) with' the law firm of
Duane Morris for outside legal services in the matter before the California Public Utilities
Commission relating to the Kern Power Plant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In 2003, the City Attorney's Office retained the law firm of Duane Morris to fight PG& E's request to
sell its Kern Power Plant Facility to North American Power Group (NAPG). The City Council approved an
Amendment to this departmental Agreement on March 24, 2004. The Amendment permitted the City to
pay Duane Morris an additional $25,000, for a price not to exceed $50,000.
On May 6, 2004, ,the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) upheld the Administrative Law Judge's
decision and denied PG&E's request to sell its power plant to NAPG. The basis for this decision was
Public Utilities Code § 377, which bars the sale and transfer of power generating facilities prior to the year
2006. Therefore, although City obtained a victory, PG&E can try to sell the power plant in 2006.
Duane Morris has some outstanding invoices submitted in reference to the most recent PUC
decision. In addition, Duane Morris continues to work closely with City Staff in an effort to find a
permanent resolution to this situation. Our hope is to convince PG&E that together, we can find a mutually
compatible use for the power plant site. Therefore, Staff is recommending another amendment to the
contract with Duane Morris for an additional $25,000, or a price not to exceed $75,000.

Reclassification: Accounting Clerk I (Risk Management) to Administrative Analyst/I
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the reclassification.
BACKGROUND:
Recently, the Risk Management Division relocated to the area of City Hall which the City Attorney's
department occupies. At this time, the City Attorney's department has a position vacancy for a Legal
Secretary. The relocation and position vacancy allowed an analysis of staffing needs in both areas and an
opportunity for consolidation of work loads. The City Attorney and the Risk Manager have designed a
mixture of sharing of personnel and tasks. They recommend reclassifying the Accounting Clerk I position
in Risk Management to Administrative Analyst I. Currently, the Accounting Clerk I in Risk Management is
performing professional-level duties requiring a detailed understanding of the California worker's
compensation system. These duties include serving as the initial contact for new injuries, setting up
worker's compensation files and monitoring claims with AIMS, monitoring checking account used to pay
worker's compensation claims, maintaining the OSHA log, monitoring accounts payable and receivable
functions, helping with budget preparation/monitoring, and monitoring property damage recovery and
subrogation activities.
Pat Flaherty, Risk Manager recommends, due to the overlap and interrelationship of functions between
the departments, sharing this position 25% with the City Attorney's Office. In doing so, this position would
be assigned to serve as the point of contact for outside attorneys assigned to civil litigation and monitor
the budgets and accounts payable/receivable for both departments. Consequently, the vacant Legal
Secretary position in the City Attorney's Office will not be filled at this time. This would result in a budget
savings of $1,900 in the Self-Insurance Fund and $42,500 in the General Fund.
The reclassification will be presented to the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their August 17, 2004
meeting C.C.A.P.E. concurs with the proposed recommendation

Authorize the Finance Director to forward to a collection agency, accoums rece~va e
various funds totaling $148,729.73.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council authorize the Finance Director to forward to a
collection agency accounts receivable.
BACKGROUND: This item was originally on the June 9, 2004 agenda but was referred back to staff due
to several Council concerns. One of the concerns was that certain businesses listed on the write-off list
were known to still be in business. These businesses are now under new ownership which is not
responsible for the debt. This includes businesses that were franchises and the parent organization is
not responsible for the debt.
Even though the City has judgments on accounts, they may be uncollectible for various reasons. To
collect on an unpaid judgment the city must do a writ of execution. This process is a function of the courts
and by law must be performed by the Sheriff's office. On smaller judgments this is not cost effective. Staff
has researched all of the larger judgments on the write-off list and determined that a writ of execution
would not obtain any assets.
The staff has exhausted all possible means at its disposal to collect these past due accounts, Generally.
individuals cannot be located or bankruptcies are involved and fudher collection efforts would result in
excessive cost. Accounts not involving bankruptcy will be forwarded to a collection agency (H.P. Sears)
for further action. Historically 5-7% of City accounts forwarded to a collection agency are eventually
recovered.
Account detail is attached. The amount recommended is made up of the following account categories:
Commercial Sewer Service & Solid Waste (Refuse)
Residential Sewer Service & Solid Waste (Refuse)
Risk Management (Property Damage Claims)
Police (Alarm Violations & Misc. Activity)
Other
$62,226.09

SUB-TOTAL 62,947.70
75,857.48
1,662.O0
8,262.55
TOTAL $148.729.73
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The recommended write off amount is about .43% of total billing, or less than 1%. The private sector uses
1-2% as an acceptable write off. Bankruptcy proceedings make up 13.45% or $20,089.52 and Judgments
make up 20.43% or $30,504.84 of the write off amount. In the bankruptcy cases, claims have been filed
with the court where applicable. Once bankruptcy is filed, the debtor is protected by the court and we are
prohibited by law from further collection efforts.
The collection process for invoiced accounts begins after an invoice is unpaid for 60 days with a computer
generated past due notice which continues every 30 days. Additionally, past due letters are sent and
phone contact is initiated at 90 days delinquent. Larger balances are given priority.

to change land use designations from R-IA (Resource-Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low
Density Residential).
First reading of Ordinance adopting the Negative Declaration and amending Title 17 of the
Municipal Code and Zoning Map No. 124-02 changing the zoning from A (Agriculture)
R-1 PUD (One Family Dwelling Planned Unit Development).
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:
Applicant proposes to construct 325 single-family dwellings on the subject site and has applied for
annexation to the City of Bakersfield.

corner of VTM 6232. The configuration and specific location of the said park shall be subject to
approval of the City's Recreation and Parks Director. Park shall have access from public streets
(Planning Commission Resolution No. 152-03)". The Commission was concerned that the park
location might be inconsistent with Policy No. 47 of the Parks. Neighborhood parks should be
located adjacent to collector or local streets, rather than arterial streets". The Commission added
the wording: "... said park shall be consistent with Policy 47 of the Parks Element of the

General
Plan
Amendment/Zone
M.S. WALKER & ASSOCIATES (property owner: Corvette, LLC) is proposing a mini-storage facility
on 3.71 acres located on the east side of Patton Way, north of Meany Avenue.
Resolution adopting the Negative Declaration, upholding the Planning Commission, and
approving the General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from LR (Low
Density Residential) to GC (General Commercial).
Resolution adopting the Negative Declaration, upholding the Planning Commission, and
approving the Amendment to the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan to change the land use
designation from LR (Low Density Residential) to GC (General Commercial).
First reading of Ordinance adopting the Negative Declaration, upholding the Planning
Commission, and amending Title 17 of the Municipal Code and Zoning Map No. 102-16 to
change the zoning from P (Automobile Parking) to P.C.D. (Planned Commercial
Development).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of resolutions and give first reading of ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is proposing a mini-storage facility on 3.71 acres of vacant land located on the east
side of Patton Way, north of Meany Avenue. The mini-storage facility will contain 82,800 sq. ft. of
storage, one office space (577 sq. ft.), and one apartment (1,218 sq. ft.). The two-story
office/apartment structure is proposed at the southwest corner of the project site. The roof eaves of
the storage units are proposed at 9 feet in height, with the center ridge line at a height of 10' 3".
Landscaping is proposed along the frontage of Patton Way and along the existing parking lot
located adjacent at the southwest corner of the project site. No light poles or camera poles are
proposed for the project. The proposed yard lights and security cameras will be attached directly to
the storage units. A nine foot high block wall will be constructed along the northern project
boundary to serve as the back wall for the northern storage units. The hours of operation are
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
limited from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (see Condition No. B.3.). Storm drainage will be provided off-site
in a drainage basin located adjacent on the south side of the project site. The applicant is required
to secure an easement for use of the drainage basin prior to initiating construction (see Condition
No. B.10.).
The project site was zoned for Automobile Parking (P) in 1990 (Ordinance No. 3322). The purpose
of the zoning was to provide a land use buffer between the single-family residences adjacent to the
north and the industrial uses to the south (Zone Change No. 5036).
The residences located adjacent to the north of the project site submitted a petition
expressing concerns regarding fire protection, lighting, and glare from roofs. Prior to the
Planning Commission meeting on June 17, 2004, the applicant met with the residences to
address their concerns. From that meeting, the applicant agreed to construct the storage
units to a one-hour fire rating, install all security cameras and yard lights below 9 feet in
height, install non-reflective material on all roofs, and construct the angle of the roofs
adjacent along the northern project boundary to slope away from the residences to the
north. The commitments made by the applicant are proposed as conditions of approval
(see Condition Nos. B.4., B.15., B.16., and B.17.).
The project site is ideally suited for a mini-storage facility. The proposal would provide an ideal land
use buffer between the existing residences to the north and the existing industrial uses to the south.
The two-stoW structure is proposed on the southern side of the project site. In addition, mini-
storage facilities make good neighbors for adjacent residential areas. They are quite, Iow traffic
generators. The hours of operation for the project site would be restricted to normal activity hours.
The area immediately west of the entrance of the proposed mini-storage facility contains a water
pump station and Emerald Cove Park. Staff is recommending approval for the project.

Consolidated hearing of appeals by Mclntosh & Associates of determirlation of
incompleteness for Vesting Tentative Tract Maps 6257, 6258, 6259, 6260, 6261, 6263,
6264, 6265, 6266 and 6267 (City in the Hills) located between State Route 178 and
Paladino Drive west of Masterson and resolution upholding staff's determination of
incompleteness. (Engineer: Mclntosh and Associates / Owners: Mountain View Bravo
and S&J Alfalfa, Inc.) (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION:
This item has been withdrawn and appears on the agenda to conclude this matter.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant has withdrawn the appeals as indicated in the attached letter.
The public hearing was continued from January 14, 2004 to May 12, 2004, and then to August
18, 2004 at the request of the appellant's legal counsel.
These eleven (the twelfth was withdrawn) tract maps are generally located between State Route
178 and Paladino Drive, west of Masterson Street in northeast Bakersfield in an area commonly
known as "City in the Hills" (Exhibit A). Although all the applications shared some deficiencies
in common, they each had their individual list of defects. Mr. Mclntosh filed an appeal of the
determinations of incompleteness on November 21, 2003, but only with respect to two issues
common to all the maps: 1) the required presentation of phasing plan to the Planning
Commission and 2) dedication of Masterson Street.
City in the Hills covers a large land area. Its development would require the extension of
infrastructure to serve it and in considering its approval concerns were raised over the
adequacy, timing and responsibility for public facilities necessary to support such an
undertaking. The requirement that a phasing plan be presented to the Planning Commission
prior to the submission of the first tentative map was adopted to ensure that those concerns
would be addressed before the land was divided up among multiple owners. The phasing plan
was not submitted to the Planning Commission for approval until December 18, 2003, more
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
than two months after the subdivision applications were first submitted and rejected. The
subdivider entered into an agreement with the City regarding acquisition of Masterson Street on
February 25, 2004, which is four months after the subdivision applications were first submitted
and rejected.
The appeal focused on the phasing plan and Masterson Street as though they were the only
problems with the applications. In fact the applicant was notified that each of the eleven
applications were deficient in many ways.
The applications were resubmitted for a second review and again they were found to be
incomplete on December 9, 2003.
These eleven maps were among the flood of applications submitted just before the
transportation impact fee was scheduled to take effect. Understanding the implications of that,
staff scrupuJously adhered to standards and protocols of review to ensure that every application
was given the same fair and even handed review for completeness.

Public hearing to consider resolution changing the name of WindsongGe/to Ashley
Castle Way (Brian Castle) and resolution to amend the changing of street name policy.
(Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
To be determined by City Council.
BACKGROUND:
This hearing was continued from the July 7, 2004 City Council hearing to allow for further
consideration of this request and to allow the applicant to consider alternatives.
The Planning Commission denied Brian Castle's request to change the name of Windsong Street
to Ashley Castle Way at a public hearing held on May 20, 2004. The Planning Commission vote
was 6 to 1, denying the request. Commissioner Ellison, the dissenting commissioner, stated that
he was in support of the request because it would preserve Bakersfield's "Hometown feel" and that
it was an excellent way to memorialize Ashley Castle. At the public hearing approximately seven
people (including the applicant) spoke in favor of the street name change and one person
(representing one of the homeowner's associations affected by the street name change) spoke in
opposition. Petitions signed by over 245 individuals in support and 3 letters in opposition to the
street name change were presented to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Castle brought the matter to the City Council on appeal. After the project was appealed,
numerous letters both in support of and in opposition to the requested street name change were
received. The issue has been covered extensively in the media and has been the subject of
numerous tetters featured in the opinion section of the Bakersfield Californian newspaper.
The chronology of reports prepared and actions taken on this matter are attached as Exhibits to
this administrative report and are as listed:

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
RECOMMENDED CHANGE TO POLICY:
Regardless of the outcome of this request and despite the recommended name change in this
particular instance, staff believes very strongly that the street name policy should be amended
simultaneously with this action so that street name changes to recognize accident victims will no
longer be received or considered in the future. Some of these reasons include:
1)
It places citizens and the City staff, Planning Commission, and City Council in an
unfortunate emotional circumstance. While many property owners do not want the
inconveniences and costs associated with a name change, it is very hard to deny grieving
family members something they feel will help them.
2)
It is very costly. As part of the Planning Commission staff report, staff included an estimate
of $1,300 as the cost of changing a street name. This cost included only the materials and
labor costs associated with the signs being changed. Further analysis of all of the costs
associated with processing a street name change, including necessary hearings and
notices, updating computer information, GIS data, remapping and redistribution,
identification of property owners, cross referencing and re-filing improvement plans and
case files, all system updates, among other changes necessitated by a street name change
place the overall cost at well over $10,000. Having the applicant pay the full cost of a street
name change doesn't eliminate the difficulties. Such a requirement could be legally risky in
that the policy may be viewed as exclusionary in nature (affordable only to a limited group).
3)
Depending on the victim's name its similarity to other streets, it can be a public safety
response problem (although that does not appear likely in this case) and a problem for the
post office, delivery services, and other related entities.
4) Historic neighborhood identification can be is lost or compromised.
CONCLUSION:
Staff has included resolutions supporting and denying the requested street name change and a
resolution changing the City's street naming policy.

General Plan Amendment/Zone Chanqe 04-0435 (Ward 5)
SMITHTECH/USA, INC. has proposed a General Plan Amendment and an ordinance amendment for
80 acres generally located along the south side of Panama Lane approximately 1,485 feet east of
Buena Vista Road). The applicant has appealed the Planning Commission decision to deny this
request.
Resolution approving the Negative Declaration and adopting the General Plan Amendment
to change land use designations from R-IA (Resource-Intensive Agriculture) to LR (Low
Density Residential).
Ordinance adopting the Negative Declaration, and upon annexation amending Title 17 of
the Municipal Code and Zoning Map No. 123-30 from A-20-A (Agricultural-20 acre
minimum) to R-1 (One Family Dwelling).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends upholding the applicant's appeal and adoption of the resolution adopting the
Negative Declaration, approving the general plan amendment and first reading of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Applicant proposes to construct single-family dwellings on the 80_+ site and has applied for
annexation to the City of Bakersfield.
The Planning Commission conducted public hearings on this General Plan Amendment/Zone
Change on June 14 and 17, 2004 and recommended City Council disapproval on June 16, 2004.
The vote to deny was 4-2. This request permits the first nonagricultural use within Section 30 and
this was cited as the primary reason for denial. The Commission determined that the proposed
project is inconsistent with both the adjacent agricultural land uses and the Metropolitan
Bakersfield General Plan policy.
The applicant appealed the Commission s dec's'on on June 24, 2004. The appeal letter states that
the project site is within the City's growth path, compatible with existing and proposed uses in the
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
area and the agricultural impact study shows that the conversion from agricultural is less than
significant.
Staff recommends approving this request, infrastructure is available and housing is under
construction across the street. This type of growth represents an incremental growth pattern which
is expressly consistent with general plan policy.
The project is located in area seven of the City's proposed Sphere of Influence Amendment.
Annexation of the subject site has been requested and is being processed. There are approved
subdivisions with new homes being built across the street from this site along Panama Lane. The
project site is in the path of growth and is contiguous to existing development activity. This site
represents a logical expansion of the city boundary.

Approve transfer of the Holiday Inn:Select owned by John Q. Hammon~~' y
Hotels Two, L.P., to Newport Hospitality Group, as the ownership entity and
Brighton Hospitality Corporation as the management entity.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the transfer of the Holiday Inn Select owned by John Q.
Hammons Hotels Two, L.P., to Newport Hospitality Group, a California corporation, as the ownership
entity and Brighton Hospitality Corporation, a California corporation, as the management entity.
BACKGROUND:
On July 21, 2004, at the request of John Q. Hammons Hotels Two, L.P., owner of the Holiday Inn Select
on Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, California, the City Council approved the transfer of the Holiday Inn
Select to Brighton Management, LLC.
Sometime after the meeting of July 21, 2004, City staff received a request from Brighton to have the entity
named in the transfer changed to Newport Hospitality Group. Legal staff reviewed this request and
decided it would not be possible since the City Council, in open session and with public notice, had
approved the transfer to a different entity. Legal staff opined that the City Council would have to approve
the transfer to an entity other than the one approved on July 21, 2004. The close of escrow was therefore
delayed by the City. Concession and catering, however, have been turned over in accordance with the
separate agreement with the Hammons firm.
Brighton tells us they originally planned on the deed being held by Newport with Brighton managing the
hotel all along. The letter from Hammons requesting the transfer was to Brighton, however, and. as
Council is aware, the public discussion and document approval were in the name of Brighton. One letter
in the last packet from Atlas Hotels (copy enclosed) referenced Newport as the purchasing entity, but that
was far from clear and was not the basis of Council action.
Both Brighton and Newport are owned by Mr. Fan. The hotel industry routinely has a structure with a
holding company and a management company owned by the same party. It is done, in pad, to limit
liability.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
We have asked Brighton to forward clarifying detail on the various corporations owned by Mr. Fan. We
also asked the Convention and Visitors Bureau if the holding company / management company structure
is common in the industry. Their e-mail is enclosed. It is common and the same structure is used for
other major hotels in town. The information from Brighton will be forwarded to as soon as it is received.
Please note, also, that the transfer request came from John Q. Hammons Hotels Two, L.P. While not
identical to the New Pod / Brighton situation, it carries similarities.
Brighton Management, LLC, has, through the attached letter, requested a formal change ir~ the City
Council's approval of transfer as follows:
Ownership vesting: Newport Hospitality Group, a California corporation
Management entity: Brighton Hospitality Corporation, a California corporation
This approval is necessary before the transfer can be properly completed. Please see the attached
Administrative Report from the meeting of July 21, 2004, for additional information.

lnfluenco Boun~arios, ~ovolo~mont Standards anO Zonin~ ~oqukemonts.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield has applied to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for an
expansion of its sphere of influence as requested by property owners. A part of the process
requires city and county representatives to meet and try to draft an agreement with respect to
plans, zoning and development standards for the area within the sphere of influence. If such an
agreement is reached by the city and county, it must be given "great weight" by LAFCO in
considering the proposed sphere.
City and county staff had a very positive meeting concerning these matters primarily because we
have been working over the past 20 years toward consistency in planning, zoning, development
standards and building codes in the metropolitan area of Bakersfield.
The Board of Supervisors' gave consideration to the agreement on August 3, 2004 and approved
the agreement. The Boards action supports our request for properties in areas 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 to be
included in our proposed sphere expansion. The Board's action also supported retaining the 1,000
acres currently in the City's sphere and not shifting any of the area in the Metropolitan General
Plan to another jurisdiction. The proposed areas (including a recent request by Pulte/Del Webb)
are within the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan boundaries. The contested property in areas
in 1,2 & 3 are not recommended for inclusion in any sphere until general plan boundaries and land
uses are amended with appropriate environmental documents being prepared. The Board's action
also agreed that the general plan, zoning and development standards required by the county
serve to guide development of those areas of the proposed sphere expansion pending annexation
to the city.

Jefferson Pool Rehabilitation & Wet Play Area (Ward 2):
1. Accept bid to award contract to S. C. Anderson, Inc. ($2,275,800) fo base
($1,981,000); selective arternate Fiberglass Shingles Roof ($9,800), and the additive
alternate Wet Play Area ($285,000).
2. Appropriate $335,000 Central (Zone 2) Park Acquisition Funds Account Balance
the Capital Improvement Budget within the Park Development Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends acceptance of Iow bid, award of contract, and approval of
appropriation.
BACKGROUND: This project will reconstruct Jefferson Pool into two separate pools that will meet all
current code requirements. The competition pool will continue to provide schools and clubs with a 25 yard
competition pool featuring a rim flow gutter system. The recreational swimming pool will have a three foot
depth area to allow smaller children and beginning swimmers a safe place for water activities. The Wet
Play Area was added to the project to provide a zero depth interactive spray pad for those who want to
play in the cool spray.
In November 2003 the swimming pool portion of this project was bid with only one bid being received
which was $400,000 over the Engineer's Estimate. Staff recommended reevaluating this project and re-
advertising in the summer of 2004.
Prior to advertising this project for construction bidding in July 2004, staff conducted pre-qualifications of
general contractors for this project. Five contractors were approved to bid this project, but only one bid
was received. That bid for the total project exceeded the Engineer's Estimate by $336,500.
After receiving that bid, staff has evaluated several items to determine if this cost could be reduced.
Staff asked the bidder to review the project design and their bid to identify any potential savings
by value engineering of the project. They identified a few items but none of them would provide
significant savings to the aggregate total. In addition, it is staff's opinion that severaI of those
items would reduce the quality of construction resulting in higher facility maintenance costs.
Since the receipt of that bid, staff has evaluated several options for potential cost reductions
including splitting this project into two separate contracts; one for the pools and the second for
the building and all other features. Staff has determined that only minimal savings, if any, would
be realized. In addition, re-bidding this project would probably result in higher cost due to the
almost eight percent (8%) monthly increase in structural steel pricing and the four percent (4%)
monthly increase in concrete pricing.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
3. The City has $500,000 of HUD Section 108 Funds for this project which must be spent by
January 31, 2005 or else the City would forfeit these funds back to HUD. Re-bidding the
project could potentially jeopardize our ability to use these funds.
Recreation & Parks has determined that acquisition funds collected for the Central Park Zone
can be used to fund this project as indicated in Bakersfield Municipal Code, Title 15.80.080,
Paragraph F.
Based on results of the above determinations, staff recommends that the City move forward with
construction of this project now.
Funding for this project will be provided by Park Improvement Funds; Central District Park Development
Funds; Community Block Grant Funds and Section 108 Funds. The Engineer's Estimate for construction
of this project is $1,939,300.
Additional appropriations are required to cover the costs of this bid, plus approximately a 5% contingency.

Agreement with the Tree Foundation of Kern for an amount not to exceedl $28,400 for
reimbursement of trees and planting materials within City parks and public right of'ways.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Tree Foundation of Kern is a non-profit organization. They recently received a Prop 12 grant from
the State of California-Department of Forestry and Fire Protection for planting of trees and materials within
City parks and public right of ways. But the Foundation does not have the financial capacity to purchase
the trees and materials and subsequently get reimbursed by the State. The agreement provides that the
City will pay for Foundation purchases of trees and planting materials up to $28,400. The Foundation will
invoice the State for reimbursement of the funds expended and, in turn, reimburse the City.
The project area boundary is downtown Bakersfield bounding 24th Street and 16th Street on the north and
south, and Oak Street and G Street on the west and east. Most of the trees will be planted in public
streetscapes adjacent to businesses and residences. Some of the trees will be planted in Jastro Park.
There are no funds in the grant budget for installation, so the trees will be installed by volunteers. The
deadline identified by the Tree foundation for completing the tree planting itself lapses in October 2005.
In order to meet the tree planting deadline purchase of the trees needs to begin immediately.
Because of the looming deadline, the Tree Foundation has asked the City to purchase the trees. Without
this type of assistance from the City or some other agency, the Tree Foundation is in danger of Posing the
grant funds. Without the funds the community would lose an opportunity to beautify the downtown.
Staff is presenting this item as a discussion item because of a recent State decision involving a
requirement to pay prevailing wage rales on certain public works projects receiving state grant funds. The
Council has been briefed by staff and seen in the media that this ruling effects volunteers employed on
such public works projects, but that only qualified workers paid at prevailing wage scale may perform the
work. The City Attorney's opinion is that the State's ruling would preclude volunteers from installing trees
and landscaping in this case.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Of course, City staff does not desire to act in oppositJon to state law. Fortunately, legislation has been
drafted that would allow volunteers to be used in certain projects. If passed this legislation would allow
volunteers to install trees for the Tree Foundation's project.
As of August 12, 2004, the State Assembly was considering such a bill. No vote has yet been taken.
Staff's research into the issue indicates that there is general support for the bill, so we are confident that
this issue wil~ be resolved soon in the State legislature. Therefore staff recommends appro~,al of the
agreement between the City and the Kern Tree Foundation.
