    2.4 PARKS AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT DRAFT EXISTING CONDITIONS, CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES REPORT 2.4 PARKS AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT The Parks and Open Space Element details how open space, recreational areas and natural resource areas will be preserved and managed. 2.4.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS The 2002 Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan addresses Parks and Open Space in two separate elements. It is proposed that these two elements be combined under one comprehensive Parks and Open Space Element as part of the General Plan Update. Therefore, the following is a brief overview of both the Parks and Open space elements of the 2002 Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. Parks Parks are generally categorized as either “local” or “regional” in the 2002 Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. Local parks generally range from 1 to 2.5 acres for mini-parks, 5- 10 acres for neighborhood parks, and approximately 30 acres for community parks. Regional parks, on the other hand, can range anywhere from 20 to 1,000 acres and may serve a population living within a one–hour drive (about 50 miles). Historically, park facilities in the planning area have been provided by the City of Bakersfield, Kern County, the North of the River Recreation and Park District (NORRPD), Bear Mountain Recreation and Park District, school districts, colleges, and, most recently, private developers. Regional parks have been the responsibility of Kern County. The City of Bakersfield and Kern County operate regional, community and neighborhood parks and trails, along with community centers and other recreational facilities. The park system under the jurisdiction of the City of Bakersfield includes more than 50 parks, recreation facilities and trails such as the Kern River Parkway (see Figure 2.4.1-1 Existing Parks in Metropolitan Bakersfield, below, and Table 2.4.1-1 Existing Parks in Metropolitan Bakersfield, located at the end of this chapter, for a listing of all parks in the Metropolitan Bakersfield area).

    OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER November 15, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT / CH SUBJECT: General Information Notable Items Staff continues to work on finding a suitable location for a low-barrier homeless shelter in Bakersfield. To that end, several City Staff members – including Assistant City Managers Jacqui Kitchen and Chris Huot, Public Works Director Nick Fidler, and Community Development Coordinator Nina Carter – this week visited 40 Prado, a shelter facility in San Luis Obispo that Staff has drawn inspiration from. City Staff, along with members from Kern County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services met with 40 Prado’s Deputy Director Grace McIntosh to discuss operations of such a General Information November 15, 2019 Page 2 facility. McIntosh showed Staff how clients are processed when they come to the 100-bed facility, the dormitory areas, where and how some on-site health care services are provided, as well as a green space, a kennel and a kitchen. McIntosh also explained ways the facility has become part of the neighborhood in a positive way, even offering its campus to host various services for the community at times. It was a very educational visit and will help as Staff continues researching what operating a low-barrier shelter in Bakersfield will require. The recognition of the City’s Water Resources Department continues as the department has won yet another award for its 1,2,3-Trichlorpropane (TCP) mitigation project, this time from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC). The project won a Merit Award in the ACEC’s 2020 Engineering Excellence Award competition.

Curbside trash and recycling services will not be affected. Notable Items The City of Bakersfield’s Solid Waste Division will host a pair of pop-up large trash item drop-off events on Saturday, June 5 at Kaiser Permanente Sports Village (9001 Ashe Road) and at 4200 Panorama Drive. City residents are welcome to bring trash items that don’t fit in their tan bins to those locations between 8 a.m. and noon. Part of Bakersfield's Clean City Initiative – funded by the Public Safety & Vital Services (PSVS) Measure – these events have proved quite popular with the public since launching in January of this year. The last events, held on May 19, collected almost 14 tons of trash items. The Clean City Initiative aims to reduce illegal dumping and debris seen around the City, improving quality of life for our residents and visitors. All nine City-maintained spray parks will begin operations this weekend, starting on Saturday, May 29. Hours of operation will be from 1 to 6 p.m. each day, Tuesday through Sunday through Labor Day. All spray parks will be closed on Mondays as a proactive water conservation effort and to provide staff an opportunity to perform any maintenance needed at the spray General Information May 28, 2021 Page 2 parks. The spray parks will be open on Mondays when there is a holiday observed: May 31 (Memorial Day), July 5 (Independence Day observed) and September 6 (Labor Day).

    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.
