Title

Hillside Development Combining Zone Ordinance DEIR

Description

NOTE: Amended The area affected by the Amended HD Ordinance is located in the northeastern portion of the City of Bakersfield. The area affected by the Amended HD Zone currently covers approximately 6,531 acres. The intent of the project is to allow for amendments to the City of Bakersfield's original Hillside Development Combining Zone Ordinance (Bakersfield Municipal Code, Chapter 17.66), adopted August 11, 1999. The Amended HD Ordinance is intended to "define and implement the goals and policies of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan as they relate to the preservation and maintenance of hillsides as a scenic resource of the City and to protect the general public from the threat of wildlife, hillside instability and landslides." The Amended HD Ordinance applies to areas within the City zoned HD (Hillside Development). In particular, the Amended HD Ordinance seeks to fulfill the implementation measures of the Open Space Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan.
