SEWER SERVICE IN NORTHWEST BAKERSFIELD

On December 10, the Kern County Board of Supervisors adopted amendment language for the Western Rosedale Specific Plan, Greater Bakersfield 2010 General Plan, and affected chapters of the ordinance code to effectively extend the area subject to sanitary sewer requirements within the CSA 71 boundary by requiring:

1. All new development with lot sizes of three gross acres or less and all commercial and industrial parcels to connect to a public sewer when they are within 1,000 feet or less of the development. In those cases where sewer trunk lines are beyond 1,000 feet of the new development, then a fee will be paid into a separate interest bearing trust fund to pay the cost of providing sewer service at such time as the facilities are available.

2. All existing residential lots with lot sizes of three gross acres or less and all commercial and industrial parcels to connect to a public sewer when they are within 200 feet of sewer service. Where the trunk lines are beyond 200 feet of these parcels, then a fee will be paid as noted above.

Accompanying the amendment language was the capital improvement program and nexus documents identifying the per parcel cost for this sewering program.
