Special Treatment Areas 28
1.5 SPECIAL TREATMENT AREAS ASSUMPTIONS: SPECIAL TREATMENT AREAS Localized issues, problems, and opportunities will continue to require specific, individualized treatment to ensure that a solution to problems or realization of opportunities is reflective of the needs of local residents. The size and complexity of Kern County forces recognition of localized needs. Use of area and specific plans will continue as basic tools under State law for addressing local needs. For the purposes of this General Plan, a “Land Project” shall be defined as follows: 1. The subdivision contains 50 or more parcels of which any 50 are both (a) not improved with residential, industrial, commercial, or institutional buildings; and (b) offered for sale, lease, or financing for purposes other than industrial commercial, institutional, or commercial agricultural uses. and 2. The subdivision is located in an area in which less than 1,500 registered voters reside within the subdivision or within two miles of the proposed project boundary. and 3. The subdivision does not constitute a community apartment project as defined in Business and Professions Code Section 11004, a project consisting of condominiums as defined in Section 783 of the Civil Code, or a stock cooperative as defined in Business and Professions Code Section 11003.2. ISSUES: SPECIAL TREATMENT AREAS Specific Plans and Rural Community Plans have been prepared in past years for a number of locations in the County. There are also small rural communities located throughout the County which would be impractical to address at a General Plan level of detail. The identity and character of these communities could easily be damaged by inappropriate treatment in a General Plan. Finally, areas have been identified through analysis of data and by identification during public involvement in the plan preparation process which has the potential for intensified, yet localized, development in the future. GOALS: SPECIAL TREATMENT AREAS 1. To recognize the validity of existing Specific Plan and Rural Community Plan decisions and to identify areas for which similar detailed planning efforts should be undertaken in the future so as to best meet the needs and concerns of local residents. 29
