  • Home at Last! Kern County's Plan to End Homelessness
    HOME AT LAST! KERN COUNTY’S PLAN TO END HOMELESSNESS BY 2028 Prepared For The Citizens of Kern County By United Way of Kern County And The Kern County Homeless Collaborative May 2018 “It is my strong belief that every individual and family deserves safe, af- fordable housing. I know the caring and compassionate people of Bak- ersfield and Kern County share this goal. It can be achieved through proactive, coordinated action and investments in cost-effective initiatives that solve homelessness. We have developed the plan. Now the real work begins. I am asking that you please join us now in ending homelessness in our community.” Harvey Hall, 2008 Mayor of Bakersfield, 2000-2016 Dedicated to: Harvey L. Hall, 1941-2018 Bakersfield Mayor, Businessman, Visionary Leader, Humanitar- ian, and Friend Executive Summary Home At Last! Kern County’s Plan to End Homelessness by 2028 ii The Kern County Homeless Collaborative believes that home- lessness is a solvable social problem and that through collabo- rative planning and action, we can eventually ensure that every individual and family has safe, affordable housing. Solving homelessness is the morally correct thing to do and will improve the life of the community. We look forward to the day when homelessness becomes a rare, brief and non-recurring event. During the past decade, Kern County saw an overall decrease of almost 40% in its home- less population, despite challenges brought on by Great Recession of 2008-2010. This was in large part due to the work of the Kern County Homeless Collaborative (KCHC) and its partner agencies, guided by the 2008 Home First! A Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, which was prepared at the request of then Bakersfield Mayor Harvey L.

  • Kern County Region
    April 25, 2017 Mary Nichols, Chair California Air Resource Board 1001 I Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: SB 375 Greenhouse Emission Reduction Target for the Kern County Region Dear Chair Nichols, We would like to thank you and your staff for working closely with us on development of the SB375 Target recommendation for Kern. As pointed out in the valley-wide letter to ARB dated December 30, 2016, Kern has achieved and exceeded targets set in 2010 and since the adoption of our first SCS in 2014, we are expanding our efforts to reduce passenger vehicle emissions by better coordinating land use and transportation planning. Based on the modeling results to date, Kern COG’s Regional Planning Advisory Committee and governing Board unanimously recommend the following targets. Table 1 – Kern COG Recommended Targets for the Kern Region Preliminary Per Capita GHG Reduction 2020 2035 Current Targets (2011) -5% -10% Recommended Targets -9%* -13%* *Preliminary recommendation subject to change as improved modeling warrants. The latest modeling for target setting expands on the strategies and assumptions in the 2014 RTP as well as incorporates the improved methods recommended in ARB’s evaluation of the 2014 RTP/SCS. Attachment A provides an overview of the assumptions used in the target modeling. The target setting report in Attachment B spends considerable time discussing the latest technical improvements and challenges for target setting created by the improved methods. It demonstrates Kern’s continued commitment and good faith effort by opening up the modeling black box and helping better inform decision makers and the public on target setting for SB 375.

  • 4.0 Environmental Analysis
    METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD GENERAL PLAN UPDATE EIR 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS 4.1 LAND USE This Section describes the existing land use designations, plans, and policies within the City of Bakersfield and the Metropolitan Bakersfield area. Additionally, this Section describes the impacts, goals, policies, standards and mitigation measures associated with revisions to land use and the General Plan Update. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING LAND USE RELATIONSHIPS The Metropolitan Bakersfield Planning area encompasses an area of approximately 408 square miles. This is the boundary for which all goals, policies, and programs in the General Plan are applicable. The City’s sphere of influence boundary, defined as a plan for the probable physical boundary and service area of the City, is illustrated in Exhibit 3-3, Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan Update. Portions of the Planning area fall outside the Sphere of Influence boundary, and are included in the General Plan Update based on the relationship that this area bears on the planning and land use concerns of the City of Bakersfield and the County of Kern. In recognition of this relationship, the General Plan Update will serve to assist LAFCO to . “carry out its purposes and responsibilities for planning and shaping the logical and orderly development and coordination of local government agencies so as to advantageously provide for the present and future needs of the County and its communities . .”. (Government Code 56425(a)) The Planning area can be generally characterized as containing a predominance of rural uses including agriculture/open space, mineral/petroleum, and public recreation uses. These rural uses are generally located at the periphery while existing urban uses are located at it’s core.
