    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).

  • 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.

The City of Bakersfield The City of Bakersfield was incorporated in 1898 and is the county seat of Kern County. The city covers approximately 113.74 square miles at an elevation of 492 feet above sea level. Located at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, it is partially surrounded by the three mountain ranges of the Temblor Range, the Tehachapi Range and the Sierra Nevada Range. The fastest falling river in the U.S. is the Kern River, which flows through the valley (Source: 1). The early growth began in 1851 with the discovery of gold in the bed of the Kern River and in 1865, oil was also discovered in the region.

  • OFFICE of the CITY MANAGER October 20, 2017 TO
    OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER October 20, 2017 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council AT FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information Notable Items This week, Chevron announced a 26% reduction of its San Joaquin Valley Business Unit (SJVBU) workforce, a decision stemming from the company’s restructuring Transformation Project. The SJVBU includes Kern County, Fresno County and Monterey County. The exact number of employees to be reassigned or laid off is not known at this time. This reduction highlights the unfortunate repercussions to the local economy due to uncertainty in the oil market. On September 7, 2017, Amazon released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for their 2nd Headquarters in North America. Amazon expects to invest $5 billion in construction and provide up to 50,000 high-paying jobs. In addition to Amazon’s direct hiring and investment, construction and ongoing operation of Amazon HQ2 is expected to create tens of thousands of additional jobs and tens of billions of dollars in additional investment in the surrounding community. Under the direction of the City Manager’s Office, the Community Development Department has prepared a proposal on behalf of the City of Bakersfield. As you may be aware, this project and their locational process have generated submissions from all over the U.S. Many of those submissions will offer incentives not available to our situation. We felt our particular and unique advantages should be articulated and put forward. The thought processes involved will have applicability to other opportunities in the future. Thanks to the Community Development team for the special effort on this! The attached Proposal and Cover Letter was submitted to Amazon on October 19th, 2017.
