Resolution determining that certain equipment can only be reasonably obtained from
one vendor, Robert Moss, Jr., and authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with
bidding not to exceed $40,000. (Fire Station apparatus overhead doors repair and
replacement.)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoptio,n of resolution.
BACKGROUND: Fire stations operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is imperative apparatus
overhead doors be reliable and can be repaired within hours. Having standard overhead doors from
the same manufacturer allows for efficiencies in ~arts availability and repairs. In daily operations,
for example, remote door operators in aIM fire apparatus activate the overhead dooms at all stations.
Having a vendor on call for repairs 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a necessity.
Purchasing and Fire department officials invited severag overhead door companies to a meeting to
discuss our requirements. Robert Moss, Jr. was the only vendor to attend this meeting. His past
service has been dependable.

Agreement for $30,000 with the Housing Authority of the County of Kern (HACK) to replace
the HVAC system at Oro Vista Recreation Center located at 1102 South Robinson Street,
(WARD 1 )
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval
BACKGROUND:
The Economic and Community Development 2000-01 Action Plan, which was approved by the City
Council on April 26, 2000, alBocated $30,000 to HACK to replace the inadequate and inefficient
HVAC system at HACK's Oro Vista Recreation center. The center, located at 1102 South Robinson
Street, has been a central part of the drug prevention and education programs offered by HACK at
the Oro Vista Development. Growth in participation rates and changes in the programs being
offered at the recreation center led to the need for renovation of the recreation center to better serve
HACK's program purposes. A teen center was established for youth over the age of thirteen,
participating in activities at the center. Local service providers will host workshops and weekly
sessions dealing with drug prevention, self-esteem, teen pregnancy preventions, and an array of
alternative activities.
The center is currently cooled by a swamp cooler, and heated by a gravity-type warm air furnace.
These units are inadequate to condition the air volume of the 1,666 square foot facility. Particularly
in the summer, HACK is forced to close the center when the temperature rises to 100 degrees and
greater, because the heat makes it unsafe for children. HACK will use CDBG funds to purchase and
install an adequate HVAC system for the recreation center.
Because this project was included in the 2000/2001 Action Plan, funds have also been provided for the project
in the Economic and Community Development operating budget.

Construct Rock Weirs Across Kern River (Ward 2):
1)
Agreement between the City, Caltrans, Union Pacific Railroad, Pacific Bell and Kern
County Water Agency to construct two (2) rock weirs across the Kern River.
2)
Appropriate $100,000 from other agencies as contribution to the Water Resources
Capita~ Improvement Budget within the Agriculture Water Fund.
RECOMMENDATSON: Staff recommends approval of Agreement and appropriation.
BACKGROUND: The City, Union Pacific Railroad, Pacific Bell and others are parties to a lawsuit flied
in Kern County Superior Court involving erosion to the Union Pacific RaiBread Bridge support piers where it
crosses the Kern River.
In or about 1998, Pacific Bell noticed that its conduit which runs under the Kern River bed just west of the
Union Pacific Railroad Bddge had become exposed on the northern side. Pacific Bell's conduit is located
in an easement under the Kern River pursuant to a Right-of-Way granted in the early 1930's. At the same
time, Caltrans' personnei also observed erosion around the northern piers to the Golden State/Highway 204
Bridge. Both entities affected remedial repairs to their respective property.
In affecting the repairs, however, Pacific Belt did not obtain any of the required permits from the Department
of Fish and Game, State Reclamation Board or the City of Bakersfield (through the Kern River Levee
District). Moreover, it appears that the repairs were made without the benefit of an appropriate engineering
work-up or design. Pacific Bell made a quick repair by dumping several tons of rock over the top of their
exposed conduit and then poured a concrete cap on top of the rock. The net effect of this "repair" was to
create a jetty in the river which changed the course of the water flow to the south and subsequently caused
erosion around the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge.

September 28, 2000, 9:47AM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT hge 2
In or about 1999, Union Pacific made "emergency" repairs to its bridge, also apparently without the benefit
of any permits or engineering, and subsequently sued Pacific Bell for the cost of the repairs. Pacific Bei8
cross-complained against its contractors who did the work and one of the contractors, Granite Construction,
cross-complained against the City, Kern County Water Agency and others.
When the City was brought into litigation, it learned about the rock jetty placed in the river by Pacific Bell and
the extent of probiems that it caused. This triggered an investigation by the Water Resources Department
and the City Attorney's Office. As a resuBt of this investigation, a long term solution to the problems at this
location in the Kern River has been identified. The City engaged the services of a quaMified professional
engineer to evaluate and design the solution, which is embodied in the attached contract under consideration
herein.
The City will serve as the lead agency for the project. The estimated costs for the project is One Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000). Pacific Bell, Union Pacific and the City shall each contribute one-third
(1/3) of the construction costs, not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) each. Caltrans will supply
and deliver the sized granite rock on-site as their share of the repair costs. The City's share of the project
costs is currently budgeted in the Water Resources FrY 2000-2001 Capital Improvement Budget.

Approve purchase agreement with Perry L. Herrgesell, Trustee of the Perry L. Herrgesell Trust
and J. D. Herrgeseli, Trustee of the J. D. & Mary HerrgeselD Family Trust to purchase tea]
property ($60,000.00) located south of Johnson Road and west of Renfro Road for the Kern
River Freeway. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: Staff recommends the City acquire approximately 5.673 acres of unimproved land for
the Kern River Freeway (map attached). Section 16.4-1.010 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code provides that
when a property is subdivided the developer may be required to reserve real property for various public
purposes, e.g., parks, freeways. Consequently, the City has purchased Band for the Kern River Freeway as
properties are subdivided and developed. The Herrgesells, who own19 acres, approached the City because
their property is impacted by the Kern River Freeway alignment. While they are not subdividing it staff is
recommending the City buy it since we have a willing selBer and favorable market conditions. The City has
previously purchased properties under similar circumstances.
The purchase price of $60,000 is based on an appraisal prepared by Randall A. Franz, MAI, a local
independent fee appraiser.
On May 1, 2000, the Bakersfield Planning Commission found the acquisition of this propenty consistent with
the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.

recommendations in the report and referral of the proposed ordinances to the F>lanning Commission for
public headngs and recommendation to the City Council. The Urban Development Committee wilt continue
to work with interested parties to address the unFesolved issues in the report.
BACKGROUND:
The Urban Development Committee of the City Council requested the formation of a task force composed
of a broad range of people who have an interest in or are involved and impacted by development processes
to review ways to streamline and make the City's development policies and standards more efficient and
responsive.
Representatives from the following groups were invited to participate:
American Institute of Architects
Consulting Engineers and Land Surveyors of CaBifornia (CELSOC)
Bakersfield Association of Realtors
Building Industry of Kern County
Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce
Kern County Contractors Association
Kern County Resource Management Agency
Smart Growth Coalition of Kern County
Sierra Club
In addition to these groups other participants attended the meetings of the task force.
The objective of this task force was to review current development policies, procedures and standards and
identify ways to streamline current processes and simplify regulations without compremising the purpose
of the regulations. Further, it was hoped that those involved in the process would develop a greater
understanding of the demands, restrictions and requirements that all parties experience.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
Consulting Engineers and Land Surveyors of California (CELSOC) provided a list of issues identified by
their members related to the areas of planning and public works which made up the majority of issues
reviewed by the task force. In addition, throughout the collaborative process items were added as topics
and were discussed by the group. Some items were brought to the group by city staff to solicit industry and
public input.
Staff and the task force have presented recommendations on the thirty-five issues reviewed by the task
fome over the past year and included in the report to the Urban Development Committee for consideration.
In the majodty of cases the task force reached a consensus. However, four issues were not resolved for
various reasons including technical concerns and the complexity of the issues. They include allowing
parcel map waivers where the site will be devegoped through additional review process (to provide for
phased tract maps); the extension of vested rights; graded roads with a gravel base ~ regarding off site
sewer facilities; and encroachment permit streamlining. The Urban Development Committee recommends
that staff continue to work to address these issues and report their status to the Committee. The Urban
Development Committee recommends the report be accepted and approved by the City Council for
implementation. They also recommend the proposed ordinances be forwarded to the Planning Commission
for the required noticed public hearings and recommendation to the City Council for their approval. Staff
through the Urban Development Committee wifi continue to work with interested parties to address the
unresolved issues in the report.

Metropolitan Bakersfield Tree Advisory Ad Hoc Committee
RECOMMENDATION: The Urban Development Committee recommends formation of a Metropolitan
Bakersfield Tree Advisory Ad Hoc Committee.
BACKGROUND: The Urban Development Committee met with representatives of the Tree Foundation
regarding their request that the City form a Metropofitan Bakersfield Tree Advisory Committee. The
purpose of the Committee would be to develop and recommend to Ioca[ public agencies proposed uniform
standards, policies and regulations for the selection, installation, maintenance and removal of trees within
metropolitan Bakersfield.
Since this issue involves various public agencies in metropolitan Bakersfield, staff recommended that the
committee be formed with representatives from the key agencies who are involved in tree issues. It is
recommended that the committee be an ad hoc committee made up of appointees from the Tree
Foundation, City of Bakersfield, County of Kern, North Bakersfield Recreation and Park District, and the
Kern County Superintendent of Schools. The committee should operate under the guidelines of the Brown
Act regarding the posting of agendas and conducting open public meetings. The committee would have
the following members:

All Committee members would be appointed for simultaneous throe (3) year terms. The Committee would
sunset after that time, or sooner if the Committee's purpose has been completed. The Director of
Recreation and Parks would serve as staff to the Committee. The new Urban Forester position in the
Recreation and Parks Department would also serve as a staff liaison. Additional City, County and other
professional staff may be used as rosources. The Urban Development Committee recommends the
Council approve formation of the Metropolitan Bakersfield Ad Hoc Committee and that staff proceed with
contacting the other agencies to solicit the names of their reprosentatives. It was also recommended that
there be at least one certified arborist appointed to the committee unless one is not available. The Vice-
Mayor would present for Council consideration and approval the names of the two city roprosentatives.

SUBJECT:
An Ordinance amending Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code and Zoning Map
No. 102-20 by changing the zoning from a C-2 (Commercial) zone to a PCD (Planned
Commercial Development) zone consisting of a 440,306 square foot commercial shopping
center on 52 acres generally located on the Northwest Corner of Rosedale Highway and Main
Plaza Drive. (File # P00-0519) (Ward Z~)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On September 7, 2000, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending the City
Council approved Zone Change # P00-0519 for the proposed "Northwest Promenade Phase 2
Shopping Center" located on the northwest corner of Rosedale Highway and Main Plaza Drive. The
zone change is from a C~2 (Commercial) zone to a PCD (PBanned Commercial Development) zone
on 52 acres. Northwest Promenade Phase 2 consists of 8 major retail stores, 4 "in-line" retail shop
buildings and 6 freestanding pads totaling 440,306 square feet of gross building area. The site plan
depicts 2,696 parking spaces, which is 762 spaces more than the 1,934 spaces are required under
the City's Parking Ordinance standards.
The applicant is the same developer as the existing Northwest Promenade on the east side of Main
Plaza Drive. The applicant states that he intends to construct all the parking, landscaping and off-site
improvements for opening day. Construction of the buildings and freestanding pads wouid be
phased. The main drive entrance from Rosedale Highway leads to the focal point of the center which
is a plaza area located adjacent "Shop B" of the main buildings (Refer to "Vignette - 2" of attached
Exhibit "C" of the ordinance). Exhibit "C" includes elevations of the proposed architectural style for
buildings. The buildings are shown to have curved and arched lines, parapets, texture, and visual
depth, with complementary landscaping features. The applicant will apply for a separate
comprehensive sign plan for Planning Commission approval at a later date.
September 25, 2000, 3:29PM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The applicant states that construction of the buildings and the pads will be phased. If not
immediately built upon, freestanding pads will be turfed and a perimeter barrier constructed to
prevent vehicles from parking or crossing the pad. Turfing the pads serves two purposes. First,
tufted pads would be maintained with the other landscaped areas to prevent litter and weeds.
Secondly, tufted pads improve aesthetics of the center since the locations of the pad are near major
streets, Rosedale Highway and Main Plaza Drive, which have high public visibility. The developer
will maintain weed and dust control for major or shop buildings areas which will not be immediately
constructed. Installation of perimeter barriers to prevent access by vehicles is also required. These
conditions are consistent with the conditions placed on Phase I of the Northwest Promenade
Shopping Center by the City Council Ordinance No. 3758.
The applicant proposes to leave the 180-foot wide electrical tower easement undeveloped and
maintained for weed control. Condition No. 11 ensures that the developer is aware of his
responsibility to maintain the easement free of weeds and litter. Installation of a perimeter barrier
along the south boundary of the tower easernent is necessary to discourage vehicular access into
the easement.
The applicant proposes a driveway connection from the west boundary of the project near Building
"Major 8" to Calloway Drive (Exhibit "C"). This connection would be constructed at the time of 50%
build out of the shopping center. The developer and GET Bus will coordinate location of an on-site
bus shelter to be shown on the final development plans.
The RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan requires that the major commercial centers located near
Rosedale Highway be approved in three phases and developed as PCD (Planned Commercial
Development) zones. The first two phases encompassed the shopping center located at the
northwest corner of Coffee Road and Granite Falls Drive approved in 1999, and the existing
Northwest Promenade Shopping Center located on the north side of Rosedale Highway between
Coffee Road and Main Plaza Drive approved in 1997. The proposed Northwest Promenade Phase
2 is the third and last phase of the major commercial designation to request approval for
development.
As required by the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan, the applicant has obtained approval from the
RiverLakes Ranch Development Standards Review Committee for the Northwest Promenade Phase
2. The design and size of the Northwest Promenade Phase 2 are consistent with the RiverLakes
Ranch Specific Plan policies and development standards for commercial development. The Specific
Plan requires a perimeter wall separating residential and other adjacent uses to the project site along
the north and west boundaries of the site. The proposed plan depicts the required bermed
landscaping along Rosedale Highway and Main Plaza Drive; architectural style and materials
compatible with the Specific Plan. The Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan designates the
project site as Major Commercial, consistent with the "Northwest Centers" concept for commercial
development.
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 adw.=rtised.
