PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal by John & Lucille Biendara of Tentative Subdivision Map for
Summerfield Meadows Subdivision Unit 2
(S-100-711)
The hour of 7 :00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Murray opened the public hearing regarding
the appeal by John & Lucille Biendara of Tentative Subdivision Map S-lO-OI, Summerfield
Meadows Subdivision Unit 2, located south of Sacramento Drive and east of Creekside
Street, developed by Meridian Pointe Homes.
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
Assistant City Clerk Sherman advised that no protests were received.
Development Services Director Hamilton stated that Summerfield Meadows Subdivision,
Unit 2, proposes to construct 57 single-family homes on 24 acres. He recalled that due to an
earlier appeal of the proposed project by area resident Ivan Hall, the City Council returned
the matter to the Planning Commission for further study with a focus on traffic issues. After
holding neighborhood workshops to allow input by residents, the additional study was
completed with several traffic calming measures which have been included in the current
proposal. He stated that the Planning Commission reviewed the Subdivision Map and
Mitigated Negative Declaration on May 23,2006, and unanimously recommended approval.
I
Mr. Hamilton stated that Mr. and Mrs. Biendara submitted an appeal of the Planning
Commission decision regarding the project on June 1, 2006, alleging that the Planning
Division failed in the performance of its duties and/or intentionally defrauded and conspired
to misrepresent traffic impacts for the project, that the Planning Commission failed to
perform its duties to assure completion of adequate and safe transportation, that the Mitigated
Negative Declaration was flawed in that it did not adequately reflect environmental issues,
particularly traffic. Mr. Hamilton stated that these allegations are false and Mr. Biendara's
assumptions were inaccurate. He pointed out that Summerfield Meadows Subdivision was
subject to rigorous public examination which included two neighborhood meetings beyond
that required by state planning law, and residents (including Mr. Biendara) assisted in
developing the scope of the revised traffic study. Mr. Hamilton concluded that based on the
record, consisting of revised traffic. analyses, public meetings and surveys, revisions to the
Mitigated Negative Declaration, staff reports and the revised conditions of approval for the
project, all issues have been adequately and appropriately addressed and/or mitigated per the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements.
Mr. Hamilton recommended that the City Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning
Commission decisions regarding approval of Tentative Subdivision Map S-lO-O 1, for
Summerfield Meadows Subdivision Unit 2, and the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
I
Mr. Biendara, appellant, asserted that City staff failed to address his concerns regarding
traffic and safety relative to the Summerfield Meadows Subdivision. He contended that
although taxes and fees were collected for roads in the area, funds are allocated elsewhere.
He believed additional access should be provided for the residents and added that the level
of service on the streets and at the intersections as identified in the reports will be exceeded
in the future.
Ivan Hall, Redding resident, thanked the developer and staff for their efforts to mitigate
traffic impacts for development of the Summerfield Meadows Subdivision and for
6/20/2006
135
addressing concerns of area residents. He believed that the traffic measures now required
for the Subdivision will mitigate the traffic situation to a tolerable level and he urged the City
Council to deny the appeal.
Jeff Swanson, representing the applicant/developer, Meridian Pointe Homes, urged the City
Council to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission decision. He identified the
efforts made by the developer to mitigate concerns of area residents.
I
Mayor Murray determined that no other individual wished to address this matter and closed
the public hearing.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dickerson, seconded by Council Member Pohlmeyer,
denying the appeal by Mr. and Mrs. Biendara and upholding the decision Planning
Commission regarding approval of Tentative Subdivision Map S-1 0-0 1, for Summerfield
Meadows Subdivision Unit 2 and the associated Mitigated Negative Declaration.

UPPA TE ON MAJOR PROJECTS - Hilltop Drive Hotel Business Improvement District
(A-050-080 & A-170-015-003)
Transportation and Engineering Director Tippin advised that the Hilltop Drive Hotel
Business Improvement District is a partnership between the City and hotel owners along
Hilltop Drive. He related that along with various tfl!.ffic and landscaping improvements, the
Hilltop Undergrounding Utility District was formed with Redding Electric Utility (REU) to
underground utilities. He provided a Powerpoint presentation depicting other proposed
amenities for the project an~ said that bids and construction are scheduled for Summer 2007
with project completion anticipated for June of 2009. He added that landscaping for the
medians is still ~nder discussion, and although palms have seemed the tree of choice,
alternatives are available as Cou~cil may wish.
In response to Council Member Mathena, Les Melburg, of Nichols, Melburg, and Rossetto
Architects, explained that palm trees for median plantings is the preferred choice because
they do not obscure signage, they create rhythm and order with other landscaping elements,
they are evergreen providing a visual impact even during winter, planting twenty-foot palms
gives the impression of instant maturity, most palm trees are far less costly than other trees
of equal size, they require little maintenance and, in the late 1800's and early 1900's they
were very popular, being planted near many prominent buildings in Redding.
Council Member Mathena suggested that cobblestones be considered for the median strips
to reduce maintenance.

miles through the length of the City and illegally dumping in the Creek is a significant
problem. Area residents, the Redding Rotary, the City of Shasta Lake, Western Shasta
Resource Conservation District, Chum Creek Homeowners Group and members of Turtle

(F-205-600/P-150-070/B-130-070)
Fire Chief Fry recalled that at the City Council meeting of April 4, 2006, staff was directed
to review the existing Fire Facilities Impact Fees to ensure adequate funding for future needs,
and return with recommendations for City Council consideration. He advised that staff
compiled the necessary data necessary for a consultant to prepare a report and
recommendations. He stated that after negotiations with MuniFinancial, a consulting
agreement was prepared for Council consideration.
Chief Fry recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an I
agreement with MuniFinancial to complete a Fire Facilities Impact Fee Study at a cost of
$18,500 and adopt a resolution appropriating said amount for the Study.
Council Member Mathena stated that he believed the necessary expertise to prepare the Study
existed with in-house Fire Department and Finance Division staff and suggested that the
money earmarked for a consultant be put to better use elsewhere.
In response to Council Member Dickerson, City Manager Starman concurred that there is
sufficient expertise on staff to perform the study.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dickerson, seconded by Council Member Stegall,
directing staff to perform a Fire Facilities Impact Fee Study and return with a report to the
City Council.

GRANT APPLICATION - U.S. Department of Homeland Security
(G-100-070 & P-150-070)

$103,500 per position), 80% for year-two, 50% for year-three, 30% for year-four, and no
reimbursement for year-five. He stated that the Fire Department has 22 firefighters on duty
each day and this grant would partially fund an additional three positions each day. He
pointed out there should be sufficient funding within the City's 10-Year Financial Plan to
meet the grant deficit each year.
I
Chief Fry recommended that staff be authorized to submit a grant application to the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security through its "SAFER" program to partially fund three
additional firefighters.

ORDINANCE - Amending Redding Municipal Code Section 17.26.010 to modify occupancy
requirements of structures
(L-OI0-045)
Transportation and Engineering Director Tippin explained that Redding Municipal Code
(RM C) Section 17.26.010 provides occupancy requirements within subdivisions, but does
not address model homes. He stated that most developers, pursuant to the Subdivision Map
Act, request the flexibility to begin construction of up to four model homes as an early-
phasing portion of a project. However, the code section does not allow occupancy of any
structure until the subdivision improvements have been accepted by the City Council. He
pointed out that although the Report to City Council proposes that the City Engineer be given
the authority to allow occupancy of structures if the improvements are substantially
complete, it should state that the Development Services Director and/or City Engineer should
notify the Building Official that no health and/or safety issues exist and that the Certificate
of Occupancy could be issued.
I
Mr. Tippin recommended that the City Council approve amendments to Redding Municipal
Code Section 17.26.010 modifying occupancy requirements for structures and clarifying
construction requirements for model homes, offer the ordinance for first reading by title only,
and waive the full reading.
6/20/2006
137
Mayor Murray expressed concern regarding language contained in Subsection C.1 ofRMC
Section 17.26.010 of the proposed amendment and questioned why the City would waive
bonding for improvements by a developer under any circumstances. He believed that the
language "Notwithstanding other provisions of this section..." could be construed to include
Subsections A, B, and C. Mr. Murray emphasized that a developer should not have the
ability to waive a subdivision improvement bond just because that developer wants to
construct model homes.
I
Mr. Tippin stated that the intent of Item C. is to allow a developer to move forward with
construction of model homes only, without having to bond the entire subdivision. However,
he said that language could be included to clarify that Item C is specific to model home
construction since they are not meant to be inhabited while selVing as a model.
It was the consensus of the City Council to table this matter until the meeting of July 5, 2006,
to provide staff with an opportunity to clarify amendment language.
