Garner 1 June 27, 2001 Honorable Arthur E Wallace, Presiding Judge of the Superior Court 1415 Truxtun Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Judge Wallace: In compliance with Penal Code Section 933, the 2000-2001 Kern County Grand Jury presents its final report of investigation undertaken and completed by members of this jury. A successful Grand Jury is dependant on the volunteering of citizens who want to serve our society by their dedication and willingness to work as a unit. This begins with an aggressive recruiting campaign followed by the nominating of qualified applicants by the Superior Court Judges. Add to this the outstanding support from the Presiding Judge as was the case this year and a successful jury year ensues. After being empaneled, Judge Wallace gave the charge and the direction for the jury to proceed. With this in mind, we all wish to express our appreciation to judge Wallace and the entire staff of the Superior Court for their dedicated support. Among the many others who have given fine support to this jury, we would like to recognize the County.

  • 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.

  • 4.2 Aesthetics
    METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD GENERAL PLAN UPDATE EIR 4.2 AESTHETICS This section evaluates the visual and aesthetic setting of Metropolitan Bakersfield and assesses the potential for visual impacts with implementation of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan Update. Where potentially significant impacts are identified, General Plan goals and policies are referenced and mitigation measures are provided, where necessary, to reduce these impacts to a less than significant level. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Metropolitan Bakersfield includes the City of Bakersfield, its designated sphere of influence and contiguous properties located in the unincorporated portions of Kern County. The area covers approximately 408 square miles and is characterized by a core of urban and suburban land use types that were developed along the principal north-south arterial, of the Central Valley, Highway 99, and the Kern River. The core area is generally surrounded by low intensity agriculture, oil production and open spaces in which small communities historically developed as agricultural centers. In recent years, greater development has occurred in the northwest and southwest portions of the community. Metropolitan Bakersfield has developed in response to market pressures, availability of land for development and accessibility of that land to transportation systems and infrastructure. Development in the past has occurred in the absence of a strategy or program regarding urban design, as well as without concern for open space areas or public viewsheds. Downtown Bakersfield was physically and functionally identifiable as the principal center of the southern San Joaquin Valley for many years. The outward growth of development, including mid-rise structures and high activity areas has eroded this identity of downtown Bakersfield.
