A(Ireements:
Item 8G. Reimbursement AGreement with Bakersfield Christian Hiqh School Foundation for Construction
of a landscaped median island on Stockdale HiGhway. east of Allen Road, not to exceed $102, 116.40.
The Bakersfield Christian High School Foundation is developing the property on the south side of
Stockdale Highway, east of Allen Road. There is currently no median in this stretch of Stockdale Highway.
In the normal course of development, the first development will design the median and pay $30 per linear
foot towards the cost of construction. The second development, on the opposite side, would construct
the median and collect the fees deposited by the first development. Bakersfield Christian High School
Foundation is the first development and wishes to install a fully-landscaped median. This agreement
requests reimbursement of one-half of the median's cost, which is limited to the amount that would be
received from the second development, or about $102, 116.
Item 8r. AssiGnment and Assumption Aqreement with Mexican American OPportunity Foundation (MAOF)
to assign property and contractual liability to MAOF Pursuant to Agreement No. 99-215. In 1997, the City
Council approved an agreement granting funds to Clinica Sierra Vista (CSV) to purchase property on East
California Avenue to be used as an urgent care drop-in facility. CSV was not able to comply with the
agreement, so the property reverted to the City. In 1999, the City Council authorized Agreement No. 99-
215 between the City and MAOF to transfer title of the property from CSV to MAOF, who is currently
developing the property to build a child care center that will serve low income families. Recently, MAOF
reorganized and formed a property management division called MAOF Properties, Inc., which will own and
manage the property. MAOF is requesting the City assign its property and contractual liability to MAOF
Properties, Inc.
Item 8s. Amendment No. 1 to Aareement No. 00-238 with Hershel & Clarissa Moore Properties, for
acauisition and development of Dark land. On August 30, 2000, the City Council approved Agreement No.
00-238 for the acquisition and development of park land. Under this agreement, Hershel and Clarissa
Moore agreed to sell 4,87 acres of park land to the City, and agreed to be paid with reimbursement of park
in lieu fees, not to exceed $199,746. Hershel and Clarissal Moore now desire to donate the 4.87 acres
as a gift, without consideration. The donation does not relinquish future parkland requirements for any
subsequent residential developments. The agreement must be amended to provide for the donation.
Bids:
Item 8t. Award bids for Police vehicles (23 replacement and 1 additional) to Jim Burke Ford in the amount
of $352,278.77; and Three Way Chevrolet in the amount of $149,054.77, for a total of $501,333.54. Staff
received two acceptable bids, and recommends award to Jim Burke Ford and Three Way Chevrolet.
Miscellaneous:
Item 8u. Appropriate $12,000 Environmental Penalty Fines revenue to the Fire Department ODeratincl
Budclet within the General Fund to reimburse the City for the removal of two underqround storaqe tanks.
The Environmental Services Division of the Fire Department has been designated by the State as a local

HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITYCOUNCIL
November22,2000
Page-5-
the Fire Department collects fines which, according to State law, must be set aside and used for
environmental matters. The Fire Department spent $12,000 to remove two underground storage tanks,
and requests reimbursement therefor.
Item 8v. Transfer of $20,000 from City Council ContinGency to Economic Development Operating BudGet
within the General Fund for a contribution to First NiGht Bakersfield 2001. At the November 15, 2000
Council meeting, Councilmember DeMond asked that the Council consider a request from First Night
Bakersfield for an additional $20,000 contribution to fund their activities for First Night 2001. This year,
the City contributed $10,000 and other in-kind services. While the organization is undertaking an
aggressive fund-raising effort, they are requesting a greater commitment. Council member DeMond
recommends the request be granted from Council Contingency funds.
Item 8w. Transferof Capital Improvement ProGram BudGet Appropriations. At the November 15, 2000
Council meeting, approximately $1,7 million AB 2928 Transportation Congestion Relief Funds were
appropriated. This Bill specifies that these funds be used for road repair/resurfacing, and also requires
the agency maintain its General Fund expend itures for road repairs no less than the annual average of that
expended during FY 96-97, 97-98 and 98-99. The City does meet that requirement. Upon receipt of the
funds, staff recommends that $135,000 of Gas Tax funds originally budgeted as part of street maintenance
be transferred to a new CIP Project, a signal installation at Truxtun Avenue and Truxtun Avenue West.
In addition, staff is proposing the transfer of $560,000 in Gas Tax funds from street maintenance for
additional median island improvements. As these transfers involve Gas Tax funds, they will not affect the
General Fund maintenance. The AB 2928 fund appropriation will more than replace the funds for road
resurfacing.
HEARINGS
Item 9a. Hearing to receive public comment on the proposed 2000-2021 Reqional Transportation Impact
Capital Improvement Plan, Phases I and II, and Fee Schedule Phases I and II, and Resolution adopting
the 2000-2021 ReGional Transportation Capital Improvement Plan and Fee Schedule. The Municipal
Code requires that the City Council annually update the capital improvement plan and fee schedule. The
resolution updates the Plan, but does not change or impact the fee schedule. The plan and fee schedule
are divided into two phases. Phase I applies to vesting maps and maps which have had their local
mitigation measure fees determined by the Planning Commission. Phase II eliminated the need for local
mitigation measure fees and applies to all new developments allowed by the 2010 General Plan, with the
exception of very large commercial projects. Certain projects, which have been reviewed by the Urban
Development Committee, have been added to the list to account for shifts in development trends and
oversights in the development of the original facilities list.
Item 9c. Resolution confirming the report of the Chief Code Enforcement Officer reeardinq assessments
of certain properties forwhich dangerous buildings have been demolished. Certain subject properties were
determined by the Building Director to pose an imminent threat to the health and safety of citizens, and
therefore subject to summary abatement under the Municipal Code. The owners were notified and failed
to comply with the Notice of Summary Abatement. The owners of the property failed to commence work
as ordered by the Building Direc'~or to abate such a nuisance. The costs incurred by the City can be
assessed against the property as provided by the Municipal Code. These include one property in Ward
I at a cost of $4,185 and one property in Ward 2 at a cost of $4,785. The property owners have been
given notice of their right to appear at the hearing on this matter and to object to the correctness of the

which is to facilitate site development as a church. The request is consistent with the site's LMR (Low
Medium Density Residential) land use designation as depicted on the 2010 General Plan. The Municipal
Code requires that church and related uses be separated from property zoned or designated for residential
uses by a six-foot high masonry wall. To date, no specific plans have been received for development of
the site. No public opposition has been received.
Item 12b. Downtown Streetscape Expansion Project. 1) There are three actions being recommended:
Staff received two acceptable bids for the project, and recommends award to Scales Construction in the
amount of $699,960.
2) Appropriation of $73,000 of CDBG funds to add 22"d Street to the base bid. The improvements will be
extended down each side street one block each to the east and west of Chester Avenue. Under the base
bid, 22"d Street was not included, but were listed as Additive Alternate I in the proposal so it could be
awarded if sufficient funds were available.
3) Approve a reimbursement agreement with Truxtun Tower Associates and appropriate $9,400 for
irrigation and landscape improvements. With the east limits being "K" Street, the south side of 17"` Street
from "K" to "L" was outside the project, meaning a portion of the Bank of America Building's frontage on
17"' would not match the new frontage from Chester to "K." Truxtun Tower Associates requested these
improvements be made, and will reimburse the City for the expense in the amount of $9,400. This bid is
being protested by Zondiros Corporation, the second low bidder. Their protest requires that a hearing be
held before the City Council to consider the merits of the protest.

Resolution of Intention No. 1225 to establish Maintenance District TS-5, (NW Promenade,
Phase 2), preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving Public Works Director's Report.
(Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: A written request has been received by the City from the owner of the property described
in Parcel Map No. 10726 to form a maintenance district for the operation and maintenance of a traffic signal
on Rosedale Highway at the main entrance to the NW Promenade, Phase 2. Staff recommends the formation
of Maintenance District No. TS-5, (NW Promenade, Phase 2), generally bounded by a line 1/4 mile north of
Rosedale Highway on the north, Main Plaza Drive on the east Rosedale Highway on the south and a line 1/8
mile east of Carloway Drive on the west.
On September 28, 1994 the City Council approved Resolution 161-94 which provides for the collection of
maintenance and operating costs for future "convenience" traffic signals through maintenance districts. The
proposed traffic signal is considered a convenience traffic signal since it is not required by the Traffic Authority
to regulate traffic flow, but is installed solely for the benefit of the adjacent parcels. This maintenance district
will be a separate district and will not be merged into the Consolidated Maintenance District.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter and Proposition 218 Ballot from the owner of parcels within the
propose district which waives all hearings required by the Brown Act and Chapter 13.04 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code. This allows the City to expedite the formation of the district.
In order to provide future owners with disclosure regarding the proposed maintenance district a covenant has
been drafted and will be supplied to the subdivider/developer to be recorded with the subdivision. A copy of
this covenant is attached for reference.

Resolution adopting the City of Bakersfield Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)
Program for use on federally funded highway improvement projects in the City of
Bakersfield for Fiscal Year 2000-01. (All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Federal regulations require recipients of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) funds
establish a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program. The Federal DBE program was enacted by
Congress in 1983 to create a "level playing field" for DBE's by ensuring that firms competing for DOT-assisted
contracts are not disadvantaged by unlawful discrimination.
The federal regulations regarding the DBE Program for DOT-assisted contracts have recently been revised.
Some of the revisions include expanded local outreach requirements, expanded record keeping by agencies
receiving DOT funds and their contractors, and changes in the methodology used to compute each agency's
DBE goal.
Caltrans, as the monitoring agency for DOT federal funds, has been working with California governmental
agencies in developing a draft DBE Program in compliance with the new federal regulations.
The attached draft DBE Program has preliminarily been approved by Caltrans, and must be adopted by the
City Council by January 1,2001 in order for the City to continue receiving DOT funds. Using the methodology
described in the program, the City of Bakersfield's 2000-01 overall goal for DOT-assisted contracts has been
computed to be 16%.
Notices regarding the City of Bakersfield's DBE Program have been advertised in 4 publications, in addition
to the notice appearing on the City's website. As of November 13, 2000, only one comment (from the County
of Kern) has been received.
We will be conducting workshops on this program for contractors. in partnership with other local agencies.
This resolution is submitted annually to the California Department of Transportation along with the City of
Bakersfield's "DBE" Program for their approval.

Adoption of Resolution approving three Native American name designations on the Kern River
Parkway and the future procedure for Native American name designations on the Kern River
Parkway.
RECOMMENDATION:
Community Services Committee recommends adoption of resolution.
BACKGROUND:
In July of this year, representatives of Native American Heritage Preservation Council of Kern County
(Preservation Council) requested an opportunity to designate three additional locations along the Kern River
Parkway as permitted under the Kern River Parkway Plan.
In February 1996, a similar request was heard by the Citizen's Community Services Advisory
Committee. The Advisory Committee recommended that City Council approve the Preservation Council's
request. On March 6, 1996, City Council approved naming Yokuts Park, Yowlumne Park and Hoe-Y Running
Course for picnic area west of Highway 99, volleybali courts at Truxtun Avenue at Mohawk Drive and cross-
country course, respectively.
The Preservation Council's current request is to assign the names of Ohshuh, Xahly and Cholich to
large Truxtun Lake, small Truxtun Lake and creek connecting both lakes, respectively. The Preservation
Council will provide bronze plaques with phonetic spelling and Native American definition for their new
requests as they did for their original dedications.
The proposed Resolution approves the above-mentioned names and establishes a procedure for future
Native American name designations on the Kern River Parkway. Specifically, such requests will be brought
before the Citizen's Community Services Advisory Committee, and their recommendation forwarded to the City
Councirs Community Services Committee. The Community Services Committee met on November 16, 2000,
and recommended the Council adopt the resolution.

BACKGROUND:
The Governor of the State of California in cooperation with the California State Legislature has enacted the

The request grant amount is for $15,000 for the purchase of replacement trees. There is no requirement for
matching funds, and therefore, salaries, wages and equipment for the tree planting is not included as pad of
the grant. We are required to partner with community groups and will be working with the Tree Foundation
in replanting of trees with their involvement and use of volunteers at several city parks and along the parkway.
This resolution approves the submittal of the grant application for the Trees of the Millennium Initiative.

Artificial Turf for Centennial Garden Arena.
Resolution determining that artificial turf for the centennial garden arena cannot be
reasonably obtained through usual bidding procedures and authorizing the Finance Director
to dispense with bidding therefore, not to exceed $135,000 in aggregate total.
Appropriate $135,000 fund balance to the Centennial Garden Capital Improvements budget
within the Transient Lodging Tax Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the resolution and the appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
The city has been interested in obtaining an arena football team as a tenant for Centennial Garden Arena
for the past two years. SMG has been in negotiations with Casey Wasserman to bring an Arena Football 2
team as a tenant to the Centennial Garden Arena. An exclusive right to an Arena Football 2 franchise has
been granted to Mr. Wasserman by the league. A lease is being negotiated with Mr. Wasserman to bring
an Arena Football 2 franchise to Bakersfield in 2002. An agreement has been entered into to bring the Los
Angeles Avengers arena football team to the Centennial Garden for an exhibition game April 5, 2001 and
also in 2002. In order to accommodate the teams and because of the need to have the surface fit within
the existing dasher system the city needs to purchase artificial turf for the Arena. The artificial turf is being
requested to be purchased from Sportexe, the company that provides the required artificial turf for Arena
Football 2 in order to provide uniformity of playing surfaces as required by the league. This artificial turf can
be used for other activities such as indoor soccer, other football activities, and special events who may
require or desire artificial turf.
A press conference was held November 20th announcing the intent to bring Arena Football 2 to Centennial
Garden by Casey Wasserman. Arena football has been a new and expanding professional sports event
throughout the country for about 15 years. Arena Football 2 has been in place in the southeast portion of
November 21, 2000, 1:39PM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT hge
the United States beginning in 2000 with great success and significant fan support. Arena Football 2 has
filled the arenas where it has been to 72% of capacity. Arena Football 2 encourages local management of
the team and use of local players, The league also has potential for national television exposure for the City.
Arena football will complement the existing major tenants at the arena and games will be scheduled from
April to August which has historically been a time of reduced use of the facility,
Funding for the artificial tuff will come from greater than anticipated revenues generated by SMG for

Reimbursement Agreement with Bakersfield Christian High School Foundation for construction
of a landscaped median island on Stockdale Highway, east of Allen Road (not to exceed
$102,116.40) (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND: The Bakersfield Christian High School Foundation is developing the property on the south
side of Stockdale Highway, east of Allen Road. There currently is no center median in this stretch of
Stockdale Highway, nor is there curb, gutter, sidewalk or street lights. In the normal course of development
along an arterial such as Stockdale Highway, the first development to come in will design the median as a
part of their improvement plans. They would not be required to build the median, but instead would pay a
median fee of $30.00 per linear foot. They would construct the pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights
and landscaping on their side of the roadway. The second developer - on the opposite side of the arterial -
would either construct the median and be paid the median fee collected from the first developer, or they would
also pay the median fee and the city would construct it later as a part of a capital improvement project.
Bakersfield Christian High School Foundation is the "first developer" in this instance. However, they wish to
install a fully landscaped median along Stockdale Highway to enhance their project and to improve the
appearance of this major entrance to the City of Bakersfield. They have asked that they be reimbursed for
half of the median's cost which is the responsibility of the developer on the north side of the street. Staff
recommends approval of this reimbursement agreement, especially as this type of agreement has been used
for other landscaped medians in the City.
The amount reimbursed to Bakersfield Christian High School Foundation is limited to the amount received
from the developer on the north side of the street. This amount is estimated at $102,116.

Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Mexican American Opportunity Foundation
(MAOF) and the City of Bakersfield to assign property and contractual liability to MAOF
pursuant to Agreement No. 99-215. (WARD 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved agreement 97-308 granting funds to Clinica Sierra Vista (CSV) to purchase
property on East California Avenue, to be used as an urgent care drop-in facility. CSV was not able to comply
with their agreement, so the property reverted to the City.
The City Council authorized Agreement 99-215 between the City and the Mexican American Opportunity
Foundation (MAOF) to transfer the title of the property located on East California Avenue, from Clinica Sierra
Vista to MAOF. MAOF is currently developing the property to build a child care center, that will serve low
income families.
Recently, MAOF reorganized and formed a property management division called MAOF Properties, Inc.,
which will own and manage the project property. MAOF is requesting the City to assign its property and
contractual liability to MAOF Properties, Inc., and to allow MAOF Properties Inc., to assume all of MAOF's
responsibilities, liabilities and benefits of Agreement 99-215.

Approval of Amendment One to Agreement No. 00-238 for Acquisition and Development of
Park Land in an amount not to exceed $109,746.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Amendment One to Agreement No. 00-238.
BACKGROUND:
On August 30, 2000, City Council approved Agreement No. 00-238 for the acquisition and development
of park land. Under this Agreement, Hershel and Clarissa Moore agreed to sell 4.87 acres of park land to the
City. They further agreed to be paid for the 4.87 acreswith the reimbursement of park in lieu fees collected
by CITY, not to exceed $109,746.
Hershel and Clarissa Moore now desire to donate the 4.87 acres of real property to the City as a gift
and without consideration. The donation of property does not relinquish future parkland requirements of
Chapter 15.80 and 15.82 for any subsequent residential developments. However, Agreement No. 00-238
must be amended to expressly provide for this generous donation.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment One to Agreement No. 00-238.

Transfer of $20,000 from City Council Contingency to Economic Development Operating
Budget within the General Fund for a contribution to First Night Bakersfield 2001.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the transfer.
BACKGROUND: At the November 15, 2000 Council meeting, Council member Pat DeMond asked
that the Council consider a request from the First Night Bakersfield Organization for an additional $20,000
contribution to fund their activities for the upcoming First Night 2001.
Last year, the City of Bakersfield was the primary sponsor for First Night 2000, and contributed financial
and in-kind support. Again this year, the City has contributed $10,000 and other in-kind services.
The First Night organization is transitioning from a primarily City-sponsored event to a Community-wide
event. While they are undertaking an aggressive fund-raising effort, they are requesting a greater
commitment than the $10,000 already provided by the Council in the 2000-01 budget.
Council member DeMond recommended the $20,000 request be granted from Council Contingency funds.

Transfer of Capital Improvement Program Budget Appropriations:
Transfer $560,000 of Capital Improvement Program (CI P) Budget Appropriations from
the Street Resurfacing/Reconstruction Project to the Various Median Island
Enhancement Project within the Gas Tax Fund.
Transfer $135,000 of Capital Improvement Program Budget Appropriations of the from
the Street Resurfacing/Reconstruction Project to the Traffic Signal at Truxtun Avenue/
Truxtun Plaza West project within the Gas Tax Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of transfers.
BACKGROUND: At the last Council Meeting, approximately $1.7 million Assembly Bill 2928 Transportation
Congestion Relief Funds were appropriated.
AB 2928 specifies that these funds must be used for road repair/resurfacing, and also requires the agency
to maintain its General Fund expenditures for road repairs not less than the annual average of that expended
during Fiscal Years 1996-97, 1997-98, and 1998-99. For Fiscal Year 2000-2001, the City meets this
requirement. With receipt of these AB 2928 funds, staff recommends that $135,000 of Gas Tax funds
originally budgeted as part of CIP project T1 K032 (road resuffacing) be transferred to a new CIP project for
the above-mentioned traffic signal installation at Truxtun Avenue and Truxtun Plaza West. In addition, staff
is proposing the transfer of $560,000 from CIP project T1 K032 (road resurfacing) to CIP project T1 K022
(miscellaneous median island enhancements). As these transfers are involving Gas Tax funds, they will not
affect the General Fund maintenance of effort test outlined above which the City will still meet. The $1.7
million AB 2928 fund appropriation will more than replace the funds for road resurfacing transferred from CIP
project T1 K032 to the other projects.

Hearing to receive public comment on the proposed 2000-2021 Regional
Transportation Impact Capital Improvement Plan, Phases I and II, and Fee
Schedule Phases I and II.
Resolution adopting the 2000-2021 Regional Transportation Capital
Improvement Plan and Fee Schedule. (All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Chapter15.84oftheBakers~eldMunicipal~;oderequiresthattheCityCouncilannually
update the capital improvement plan and fee schedule.
This Resolution updates the Capital Improvement Plan but does not change or impact the fee schedule.
The capital improvement plan and fee schedule are divided into two phases. Phase I, the original
program adopted in 1992, still applies to vesting maps and maps which have had their local
mitigation measure fees determined by the Planning Commission. Phase II, adopted in 1997,
eliminated the need for the local mitigation measure fees and applies to all new developments
allowed by the 2010 General Plan with the exception of very large commercial projects.
Certain projects of regional importance have been added to the list to account for shifts in
development trends and oversights in the development of the original facilities list. These items
have been reviewed by the Urban Development Committee.
The Transportation Impact Facilities list may be amended at any time during the year, however, the City's
Capital Improvement Project list must also be amended to reflect the same changes.

Ordinance amending Title 17 of the Municipal Code and Zoning Maps 101-26 from C-1
(Neighborhood Commercial) and R-2 (Limited Multiple Family Dwelling) to E (Estate) on
approximately 10.9 acres, located generally north of Brimhall Road to Rosedale Highway,
between Allen Road and Jenkins Road (GPAJZC P99-0474). (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The Council conducted the first reading of the Ordinance on November 15, 2000.
This project was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission with the expansion to the
commercial being denied after two hours of public hearing on September 21,2000. During the public
hearing, discussion by the Planning Commission mostly centered around approving the General
Commercial designation and requiring a PCD zone for the northwest corner of Brimhall and Allen
Roads on a maximum of 15 net acres. However, the applicant rejected the option due to a
misunderstanding that he would lose processing time and the existing commercial zoning at the
corner because he didn't have a site plan "firreed up" for the commercial area.
Since the hearing, the applicant's representative has explained the situation to him and has written
correspondence to the Planning Commission and the Planning Department agreeing to the PCD
requirement. PCDs require a subsequent site plan submittal and approval by the Planning
Commission at a publicly noticed hearing, therefore no action regarding the zone change is required
at this time.
The northern area where commercial and apartments would be removed is a part of an annexation
area known as Allen Road #3 which was annexed to the City on August 22, 2000, and the southern
area is a part of another annexation known as Allen Road ~ which is still in process. Allen Road #4
Annexation is anticipated to be complete in January 2001.

(P99-0647) "City in the Hills" (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
City Council conducted first reading of the Ordinance on November 15, 2000.
The "City in the Hills" project covers nearly 700 acres and is located along side Highway 178 north
of Mesa Marin Raceway. The applicant proposed an urban development that upon buildout would
have a population of 11,500 people. This area has been planned for urbanization since the late
1970's. The Planning Commission approved the project without significant modification on October
5, 2000.
Several people attended the City Council meeting and raised concerns regarding several issues.
Councilmember Maggard recommended several changes to the project that reduced density, clarified
traffic improvement phasing and increased lot sizes on the south side of Paladino Drive.
At the conclusion of a lengthy public hearing the City Council adopted the General Plan Amendment
and considered the first reading of the zoning with several changes to reduce density, clarify traffic
improvements and increasing lot sizes along the south side of Paladino Drive. Those changes have
been incorporated into the ordinance for adoption.

SUBJECT:
Ordinance amending Title 17 of the Municipal Code and Zone Maps 101-36, 102-31 and 122-
01 from R-1 (One Family Dwelling), R-2 (Limited Multiple Family Dwelling), C-2 (Regional
Commercial) and PUD (Planned Unit Development) zones to R-1 (One Family Dwelling), R-2
(Limited Multiple Family Dwelling) and C-2 (Regional Commercial) zones west of Calloway
Road and north of the Kern River. (P00-0477) (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council held first reading of the Ordinance November 15, 2000.
The proposed GPNZC seeks to refine the land use configuration to fit a new alignment of Jewetta
Avenue. Rearrangement of existing land use designations and zoning districts reflect road
alignments and result in nearly the same amount of each land use as exists now. Such
rearrangements do not present any new impacts or land use incompatibility.
The proposed GPA/ZC would eliminate 73 acres of land designated for OS (Open Space). This OS
site was zoned PUD and designated for a golf course. Also, the OS/golf course site was adequate
mitigation for the previous loss of 43 acres of OS designated land. The City Council found that the
loss of OS land, due to the proposed GPNZC, should be replaced at another location and
recommended a mitigation measure requiring 43 acres of OS designated land within one mile of the
previously approved PUD/golf course site.

An Ordinance amending Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code and Zone Map
No. 124-08 by changing the zoning from an R-2 (Limited Multiple-Family Dwelling) Zone to
an R-2 CH (Limited Multiple-Family Dwelling - Church) Zone on 6 % acres generally located
on the east side of Lotus Lane, approximately 1/4 mile north of Watts Drive. (ZC P00-0695)
(Ward 1 )
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On November 2, 2000, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending approval of
the zone change request made by Milazzo and Associates (applicant), representing Emmanuel
Temple. The request is to change the zoning from an R-2 (Limited Multiple-Family Dwelling) zone to
an R-2 CH (Limited Multiple-Family Dwelling - Church) zone on the 6~ acre site. The purpose of the
zone change is to facilitate site development as e church.
The request is consistent with the site's LMR (Low Medium Density Residential) land use designation
as depicted on the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.
Title 17 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code addresses compatibility concerns between church
developments and neighborhood residential uses. Specifically, Section 17.36.030 F. of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code requires that church and related uses be separated from property zoned
or designated for residential uses by a six foot high masonry wall. During the site plan review process
for the future church, a six foot high masonry wall will be required along the north, south, and eastern
property lines, adjacent to residentially zoned land. As of the time of this writing, no specific plans
have been received by the Planning Department for development of the site.
Churches are generally regarded as compatible with residential land uses.
No public opposition has been received as of this writing.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page
No one spoke for or against the zone change request during the Planning Commission hearing.
All required public notices have been given. 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 is
recommended for adoption.

Downtown Streetscape Expansion Project:
Accept bid to award contract to Scales Construction, Inc., $699,960.00, for Downtown
Streetscape Expansion Project: 17% 18th, 19th, 20th, 21 .t, and 22'" Streets- from Eye
Street to 'K' Street, for base bid and both additive alternates.
Approve reimbursement agreement with Truxtun Tower Associates, $9,400.00, for
Irrigation and Landscaping Improvements on 17t~ Street Between K Street and L Street
and appropriate $9,400 Developer Contribution to the Capital Improvement Budget
within the Gas Tax fund.
Appropriate $73,000 of prior year CDBG entitlement funds to the Capital Improvement
Budget within the Community Development Block Grant Fund. (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of low bid and award of contract, approval of the
reimbursement agreement and appropriations.
BACKGROUND: With this project, the successful Chester Avenue Streetscape improvements will be
extended down each side street one block to the west (to Eye Street) and one block to the east (K Street) of
Chester Avenue. The improvements include trees in the sidewalk area, decorative street lights, lighted
bollards at the corners on Eye Street and K Street, and the associated irrigation and electrical systems. Due
to the narrow width of these streets, landscaped medians are not being installed.
Under the projecrs original scope, 22"d Street was not included. Staff, however, did included improvements
on 22"d Street in the proposal form as Additive Alternate 1 so that it could be awarded if sufficient funds were
available. With the appropriation, the improvements on 22"d Street can be installed.
With the east limits of the project set at K Street, the south side of 17th Street from K Street to L Street is
outside of the project. This meant that a portion of the Bank of America Building's frontage on 17"~ Street
would not match their new frontage from Chester Avenue to K Street. The Truxtun Tower Association
requested that the City include improvements on the south side of 17th Street from K Street to L Street with
them reimbursing the City for that expense. Additive Alternate 2 was included in the City's proposal form to
capture the cost for the Association's share of the project.
There are sufficient funds in the project accounts to construct the base bid portion of this project. With the
funds from the reimbursement agreement and the appropriation, funds will be available to construct the two
additive alternates.
