at an alternative location. He explained that to determine an amount, they looked at the
current multi- family market value of the property and what the property would be worth with
a commercial designation. Through negotiations, Mr. Starman said that $1 million was
agreed upon.
Mr. Warren interjected that this site would not necessarily be developed into affordable
housing, but could be apartments or condominiums with a low- to high-end rent range. He
believed that the contribution of $1 million could provide an environment for development
of affordable housing at another location.
Council Member Stegall believed that $1 million was not a fair market value for the type of I
project envisioned. Mr. Starman responded that property values have increased since
original negotiations, however, Lowe's made a good-faith offer and the City accepted. Mr.
Starman said that an educated guess would place the current value at approximately $2.5
million.
Richard Werfel, with Economics Research Associates representing Lowe's, advised that his
firm prepared the Regional Retail Demand and Supply Analysis for the project. The analysis
concluded that by 2010, the City would have a population that could support 50 additional
acres of retail service industries demonstrating a need for additional commer~ial properties.
In response to Council Member Stegall, Mr. Hamilton explained that the soon-to-be empty
Winco store is not sufficient in size to accommodate the proposed project.
Steven Gayle, Director of Real Estate Acquisition for Lowe's Stores, advised that the City
directed Lowe's to four alternate locations, however, none met the location or size criteria
necessary for a successful Lowe's store.
Steve Burnt, Northern California Director of Real Estate for Safeway, Joseph Landaker,
owner of Togo's at the Safeway Shopping Center, Sara Bristow, and Kelly Dunbar,
representing the Adventist Academy, urged City Council approval of the !:,owe's project
because it will improve the economy of other businesses in the area, provide jobs, provide
more competitive prices, and will be a good neighbor. In addition, Loye Quijada presented
a petition signed by 800 individuals supporting Lowe's.
I
Barbara Schletzbaum, Jeen Wopat, Debbie Upshaw, Jack Murphy, Todd Martin, Mari
Marien, and People of Progress representative Melinda Brown, urged denial of the Lowe's
project citing the loss of potential low-income housing, traffic impacts, decline of school
enrollment in the area, spot zoning, and questioned the ethics of the $1 mil~ion in-lieu for
affordable housing.
Bob Rawson expressed concern regarding the loss of potential affordable housing, and
pointed out that although in-lieu fees are not uncommon, other cities deposit in-lieu funds
into city housing trust accounts that provide loans for affordable housing projects with loan
payments returned to the fund to be recycled. He urged the City Council to deny the project
applications.
Mayor Mathena determined that no other individual wished to address this m8:tter and closed
the public hearing.
Council Member Dickerson advised that he will consider the project on its own merits
without regard to the in-lieu fee offer, but he favored using the fee to set up a protected fund
for affordable housing. He emphasized that the zoning is multi-family and does not
specifically indicate affordable housing.
I
Council Member Stegall stated that it is a difficult choice, but if the propertyis rezoned and
Lowe's provides the in-lieu payment, she will vote in favor of the projectpr9vided that a
proposal for affordable housing using the in-lieu funds be brought back by staff in the very
near future.
Council Member Murray suggested that staff broaden the Regional Commercial rezoning
area to include all commercial businesses in close proximity to the prop()sed area. He
advised that traffic on Victor Avenue is very heavy and the street needs to be improved if it
is to serve Lowe's customers and the entire Regional Commercial Center. He suggested that

CITY COUNCIL VACANCY
(A-050-060)
Mayor Mathena recalled that at the City Council meeting of February 15, 2005, Council
Member Kight announced his resignation effective Apri12, 2005. Mayor Mathena outlined
the various options available to the City Council to fill the unexpired term as follows:
I
1. Appoint a replacement to fill the remainder of the term which expires December
2006 utilizing the application and open meeting interview process,
2. Appoint a former City Council Member or a member of the community,
3. Call a special election at a regularly-established election date, but not less than 114
days prior to the election which would be November 8, 2005. Costs vary dependent
upon how many other items are on the ballot but could cost as much as $100,000.
Mayor Mathena observed that the election option would not only be costly for the City but
for potential candidates as well, because the candidate would run for this va~ancy in 2005,
serve the remainder of City Council Member Kight's term expiring in December 2006, and
then be required to run again in 2006 if he/she wished to serve again. He recalled that the
application/interview process used when Council Member Cibula won election to the Shasta
County Board of Supervisors would probably not produce an experienced Council person.
Mayor Mathena advised that the direct appointment process is also possible but unless a
previous Council Member is appointed, a member of the community would probably not
have experience as well.
Mayor Mathena recommended appointment of a previous Council Member who would be
knowledgeable and ready to address City business. He stated that Mayor Emeritus Michael
Pohlmeyer has agreed to serve the unexpired term of Council Member Kight if that is the
decision of Council. Mayor Mathena added that the position cannot be filled and official
appointment cannot be made until after Council Member Kight's seat becomes vacant, April
2, 2005.
I
"
Council Member Murray did not favor filling the vacancy via the appointment process and
suggested that the Council operate with only four members until the November 2005
election. He recalled that when Mayor Patricia Anderson passed away, that )Vas the course
of action Council chose at that time.
Richard Paz, Redding resident, urged the City Council to make a direct appointment of either
a previous Council person or a member of the community.
Council Member Stegall did not favor the application/interview process and believed that the
City Council needs to move forward with the work at hand without further disruptions. She
pointed out that consideration of many priority issues are coming up and it would be difficult
with a four-member Council. She supported the appointment of Mr. Pohlmeyer at the proper
time.
Council Member Dickerson concurred with Council Member Stegall observing that a full
Council will provide additional input on important matters considered. He also favored
appointment of former Council Member Pohlmeyer.
I
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dickerson, seconded by Council Member Stegall,
approving the process to appoint a former Council Member and directing the City Clerk to
agendize the Council vacancy and appointment of former Council MemberPphlmeyer for
Council consideration at the meeting of AprilS, 2005.

ORDINANCE - Revising Redding Municipal Code Sections 10.20.040 and 10.20.048
relating to prohibiting possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages in various city
parks and on the Sacramento River Trail
(A-II0-070/P-050/P-050-460-700)
Senior Planner Hanson advised that although City Council directed staff to insert language
in the ordinance that would allow automatic updating of parks and trails inventory, it was the
conclusion of the City Attorney and the Police Chief that such language might make the
ordinance unenforceable. He pointed out that the only new language was a section
addressing all City trails.
Mr. Hanson recommended approval of the revisions to Redding Municipal Code Sections
10.20.040 and 10.20.048 relating to prohibiting possession and consumption of alcoholic
beverages in various city parks and on the Sacramento River Trail, offer the ordinance for
first reading and waive the full reading.

PUBLIC COMMENT

Robert Zink, President ofthe Oakwood Mobile Homeowners Association, expressed outrage
that an organization managing the mobile home park is adding 900% to the cost of receiving
City ~ervices such as sewer, water, and garbage. He stated that the organization does not
provide the services but charges exorbitant rates to the park residents. He expressed concern
that the organization targets the elderly and poor and questioned why no action has been
taken by the City to protect its citizens and services.
