  • The 2014 Regional Transportation Plan Promotes a More Efficient
    CHAPTER 5 STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS – VERSION 5 CHAPTER 5 STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS INTRODUCTION This chapter sets forth plans of action for the region to pursue and meet identified transportation needs and issues. Planned investments are consistent with the goals and policies of the plan, the Sustainable Community Strategy element (see chapter 4) and must be financially constrained. These projects are listed in the Constrained Program of Projects (Table 5-1) and are modeled in the Air Quality Conformity Analysis.

  • 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.

  • 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.
