PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Amendment Application GP A-2-02 (Blue Shield)
(G-030-010 & L-OI0-230)
The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Kight opened the public hearing regarding
General Plan Amendment (GPA-2-02) and Rezoning Applications (RZ-2-01) for property
located at 4700 Bechelli Lane, by Williams and Paddon Inc. for Blue Shield of California
(Blue Shield).
The following documents are on file in the Office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that two letters were received. A letter from Ron and Gloria
Speigle, appealing Phase II of the proposed Blue Shield Project and requesting additional
mitigation measures to address stormwater-erosion and light and noise impacts; and a letter
from the Economic Development Corporation of Shasta County supporting the project.
Development Services Director Hamilton highlighted the Report to City Council dated
September 19,2002, recalling that a Use Permit for Phase I of the Blue Shield Project was
approved by the Planning Commission on September 10,2002, to construct an 82,000 square
foot, three-story, office building to accommodate up to 450 employees on a 16.6 acre site at
4700 Bechelli Lane. Phase II of the development would consist of an additional 100,000
square foot, three-story building accommodating up to 550 additional employees.
I
Mr. Hamilton observed that in order for Blue Shield to continue to Phase II development,
approximately 5 acres at the northwest corner ofBechelli Lane and South Bonnyview Road
must first be rezoned from "Residential, 6 to 10 units per acre" to "General Office," and from
"U" Unclassified District to "CO" Office District and "OS" Open Space District. He
emphasized that the City Council is only considering the land use issue at this time, not the
Blue Shield Project.
Mr. Hamilton noted four major areas of concern: 1) traffic circulation; 2) stormwater erosion;
3) land use compatibility; and 4) housing stock. He maintained that the land use
compatibility of General Office is preferable for a transitional area between residential use
and intensive retail commercial, given projected future traffic intensity for that location. In
addition, the current designation providing high density residential will require significant
measures to address lighting and noise impacts as development occurs. Geographically, the
property is isolated from surrounding residential properties having large commercial
development to the east and large office development to the south. He also noted that the
250-foot wide drainage swale between the proposed office use and neighboring residences
is a natural buffer that will significantly diminish noise and light impacts and provide
privacy. He added that the use permit process is required for any development of the site and
impact mitigation will occur at that time.
I
In regard to housing stock, Mr. Hamilton noted that although the property is currently
designated for 10-20 and 10-30 high density residential units per acre, there are currently
1,700 acres City-wide with that particular land use designation, and the loss of approximately
five acres will constitute a reduction of only .3% ofthe total land use designation area which
is not significant to the City's ability to satisfy its housing goals.
Mr. Hamilton pointed out that a traffic analysis has been completed with projections to the
year 2020 and provides specific mitigation measures for the area including development of
10/1/2002
215
the site with an office use designation. These mitigation measures include road and
intersection widening, additional signalization, interchange ramp work, etc., and will be put
in place during construction of the recently approved Phase I.
He related that the City is meticulous regarding changes which may affect stormwater,
explaining that storm water from any type of development at the site will be directed to a
drainage swale at the north end of the property and will include an on-site detention basin.
The land use change will increase runoffby only .5% and Blue Shield's Phase I construction.
will provide much of the necessary mitigation for drainage and stormwater runoff.
I
Mr. Hamilton recommended adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the General
Plan Amendment and Rezoning Applications and recommended adoption of the resolution
amending the General Plan and offering the ordinance for first reading to amend Section
18.06.020 of the Redding Municipal Code.
In a memorandum to City Council dated September 24, 2002, City Manager Warren
emphasized that the letter from Ron and Gloria Speigle appealed Blue Shield's rezoning
request for Phase II of the proposed project and did not include Phase I. He also commended
Blue Shield for delaying construction of Phase I until a public hearing could be held to
consider the letter from the Speigles and invite public comment.
Council Member Stegall questioned the timeline for Phase II (development of the five-acre
parcel) and the rationale for addressing the rezoning issue at this time. She also expressed
concern regarding the loss of even a small percentage of multi-family housing land,
particularly in the event that Blue Shield should decide not to proceed with Phase II of the
project.
Mr. Hamilton explained that for reasons previously mentioned and regardless of who
develops the property, utilizing the site as General Office rather than high-density residential
is a more balanced choice.
I
Bill Gelonek, Redding resident, expressed concern regarding stormwater runoff and erosion
to the drainage swale which is contiguous to his property. He stated that the proposed
detention pond will actually allow a longer flow into the swale and cause greater erosion.
He asked that a master drainage plan be provided for the entire area to encompass all
proposed and future projects.
Duane Lyon, Redding resident, asserted that his review of the environmental initial study and
mitigated negative declaration revealed deficiencies in the air quality and the transportation
and circulation elements. He urged Council to postpone a decision until an adequate
environmental analysis is complete which includes related mitigation measures.
Thomas Wright and Mo Orwig expressed concern regarding traffic circulation citing that
South Bonnyview Road is still two lanes in many areas and cannot handle increased traffic
flows.
Lisa Halsey, Redding resident, read the aforementioned letters from Ron and Gloria Speigle.
I
Frank Strazzarino, President/Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Redding Chamber of
Commerce, expressed support for the Blue Shield project and the related jobs the project will
generate. He thanked City staff and the Economic Development Corporation for providing
relevant demographics to entice companies to Redding which in turn generate jobs.
Jim Zauher, Shasta County Economic Development Corporation, clarified that Blue Shield
was interested in acquiring and developing campuses which will allow for future expansion
and is making a significant investment in the site to ensure that that option will be available.
Kent Dagg, Shasta Builders' Exchange, expressed support for the Blue Shield project and
urged approval of the land use change.
Mark Posnick, Architect for the Blue Shield Project, responded to issues cited earlier
explaining that a zoning change will not affect the path of stormwater runoff because it will
divert to the swale whether the parcel is zoned office or multi-family. He pointed out that
trip numbers from the Traffic Impact Study represent projected numbers following a total
buildout of the entire area to the year 2020 including a proposed hotel, commercial-retail
1011 /2002
216
shopping center, and other unidentified projects. Half of the traffic count numbers
attributable to the Blue Shield project were approved in the Use Permit process for Phase 1.
In response to Council Members Stegall and Cibula, Mr. Posnick stated that Blue Shield is
making a sincere commitment to the City of Redding because it was forced to leave the City
of Red Bluff due to an inability to expand its landlocked facility. He also noted that it is not
date certain when Phase II of the development will begin, but because of the time involved
in the use permit process, Blue Shield applied for the zoning change to eliminate further
delays when it is ready to expand.
Council Member Stegall clarified that a master drainage plan and other issues of concern by I
property owners will be addressed during the use permit process.
Mr. Hamilton explained that measures required during the use permit process are an
analyzation of water drainage and mitigation of other perceived impacts. He noted that a
master plan for drainage and air quality mitigation measures are required by the City for all
project development. He added that traffic analyses look at project level numbers including
cumulative impacts and identify specific mitigation measures.
In response to Council Member McGeorge, Mr. Hamilton stated that a full traffic analysis
for the area has been completed, but an overall master drainage plan has not been designed
because not all development of vacant properties has been proposed. Council Member
McGeorge asked if a mechanism was available to perform a more comprehensive study of
the drainage problem in the area. Mr. Hamilton explained that the City is currently
considering the issue of drainage City-wide.
Assistant City Manager Perry opined that a comprehensive drainage study encompassing the
entire City may take up to two years, and he recalled that completed and proposed
improvements for South Bonnyview Road included the recently awarded traffic signalization
at Indianwood Road, and future street widening once State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP) funds are received.
Council Member Cibula asked that the geographic area for public notification during the use
permit process for the Blue Shield Phase II project be expanded.
I
Mayor Kight determined that no one else wished to address this matter and closed the public
hearing. He reiterated that the land use designation and the rezoning of property is the only
issue before the City Council at this time.

CONSULTANT SERVICES - Material testing and surveying for Sports Complex
(P-050-600-200)
Assistant City Manager Perry highlighted the Report to City Council dated October 1, 2002,
noting that in addition to the award of bid, other services including surveying and staking of
improvements such as utility lines, curbs, buildings and materials testing for compaction,
concrete strength, welds, and other elements of construction are required. He opined that in
order to eliminate costly errors, the survey and staking should be sole-sourced using the same
firm (SHN Consulting) that performed design engineering for the Sports Complex at an
estimated cost of $80,000. Mr. Perry continued that a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be
circulated for materials testing which is also estimated at $80,000.
Mr. Perry recommended that staffbe directed to negotiate a contract with SHN Consulting
Engineers to perform staking unless a fair price cannot be negotiated, in which case a RFP
for this component will be circulated. He further recommended that staff be directed to
circulate a RFP for materials testing at the Sports Complex Project.
Greg Dunbar, Chief Executive Officer for Sharrah Dunlap Sawyer, Inc., concurred that the
design engineering firm should do construction staking. However, he asserted that the City
historically has utilized the RFP process when work exceeds $25,000. He urged that the
staking project go through the RFP process.
I
Council Members Cibula and Stegall expressed support for the RFP process for both
surveying and staking and materials testing.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Stegall, seconded by Council Member Cibula,
directing staff to circulate Requests for Proposals for the Sports Complex Project surveying
and staking improvements and materials testing for compaction, concrete strength, welds,
and other elements of construction. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
AWARD OF BID - Bid Schedule No. 3592, construction of the Sports Complex project
(B-050-020 & P-050-600-200)
Assistant City Manager Perry recalled that development of the Sports Complex Project began
in 1997, and after much time and effort is now ready for construction. He stated that Dale
Construction was the lowest responsive bidder in the amount of$12,117,163 including the
base bid and Additive Alternate #1-Field House Upgrade.
Mr. Perry recommended that Bid Schedule No. 3592, Construction of the Sports Complex
Project (Job No. 2166-71) be awarded to Dale Construction in the amount of$12,117,163
to include the base bid and Additive Alternate #1-Field House Upgrade.
I
In a communication to City Council dated September 25,2002, City Manager Warren noted
that if the City Council wished to include construction of the soccer fields using Additive
Alternate #2 ($2,705,474) and/or Additive Alternate #3 ($1,265,820), it would entail an
allocation of additional funds. He suggested that the issue of soccer fields be revisited during
the next 12 months at which time funding sources may be identified, management of the
fields can be defined, and local soccer clubs may agree to raise a portion of the funds.
Rich Pinnell and Randy Bright urged construction of all four soccer fields. They believed
that management of the soccer fields and the issue of what type of all-weather material to
apply to the fields have not been properly addressed. They also suggested using Park
Development Funds to construct soccer fields, opining that the fields are integral to ensure
success of the Sports Complex Project by providing year-round use of the Complex.
James Theimer and Leo Graham, both members of the Citizens Committee for the Park
Master Plan, urged caution in utilizing Park Development funds for construction of soccer
fields at the Sports Complex. The draft Park Master Plan will be brought to the City Council
10/1 /2002
218
in the near future, and will identify uses for those funds including construction of soccer
fields in City parks. They urged Council to review the Park Master Plan before encumbering
Park Development Funds.
Community Services Director Niemer clarified that the draft Park Master Plan should be
brought to the City Council for review in approximately four weeks.
Council Members Stegall, Pohlmeyer, and McGeorge expressed support to revisit the soccer
fields issue within the next 12 months when more information becomes available regarding
possible funding sources, what type of soccer field management contract could be negotiated
with Big League Dreams, and the amount of funding local soccer clubs will agree to raise.
Ms. Stegall did not wish to pursue soccer fields at the cost of Park Development funds for
many years.
I
Council Member McGeorge emphasized that he would have preferred soccer fields be added
to the project rather than adding a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system to the
field house.
Mayor Kight and Council Member Cibula expressed satisfaction and enthusiasm that the
Project is ready for construction and suggested that the soccer field issue be returned within
the next two months, rather than 12 months, due to a potential increase in project costs over
time.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pohlmeyer, seconded by Council Member Stegall,
Awarding Bid Schedule No. 3592, construction of the Sports Complex Project (Job No.
2166-71) to Dale Construction for the Base Bid and Additive Alternate # 1 (Field House
Upgrade) in the amount of $12,117,163, with an additional $605,358 for a construction
contingency fund; and directing staff to locate $250,000 in deductive change orders, research
possible funding sources, develop a financial plan to include soccer fields at the Sports
Complex, and return a proposal to the City Council for consideration within 60 days.
