  • 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.

  • Riverlakes Ranch Specific Plan
    PROLOGUE In May of 1986 the City of Bakersfield adopted the Rancho Laborde Specific Plan covering approximately 1,900 acres of land in the Rosedale area of Bakersfield's northwest. This Specific Plan provided the control mechanism for the residential, commercial and recreation development of the plan area. The area covered by the Rancho Laborde Specific Plan, which was once under multiple land ownership, has since been reunited under one ownership. The name of the previous Rancho Laborde Development and Specific Plan had been changed to RiverLakes Ranch. On June 27, 1990, the City of Bakersfield adopted the RiverLakes RanchIUnibell Specific Plan, an amendment to the RiverLakes Ranch Specific Plan. In April, 1996, Fruitvale Properties, LLC acquired the Unibell portion of the land base and became the Master Developer for the remaining approximately 900 acres of undeveloped land in the Specific Plan area. On October 23, 1996, the City of Bakersfield adopted another major amendment to the Specific Plan document deleting references to "Unibell" and incorporating consistent development standards which will be applied to the remaining undeveloped land, thus eliminating the previous, two chapter format.
