City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received.
Development Services Director Hamilton recalled that on June 13, 2006, the Planning
Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning, planned development plan
and tentative subdivision map for The Reserve at Gold Hills Subdivision. He pointed out that
the City Council was provided with an additional document this evening that was mentioned
in the Report to City Council but not included with the Report. The document included
information prepared by four property owners living downstream from the proposed
Subdivision on Dry Gulch Creek addressing concerns regarding the possibility of additional
flooding as a result of the proposed subdivision and draft minutes of the Planning
Commission meeting of June 13,2006.
I
Mr. Hamilton provided a Powerpoint presentation advising that The Reserve at Golds Hills
will create 219 single-family residential lots on 59.3 acres, with 187 of the lots proposed for
planned development (Neighborhoods A and B), and 32 lots proposed as a standard single-
family subdivision (Neighborhood C). The units in the planned development areas will share
a common wall and the project will provide a four-acre park as well as open-space, trails, and
other amenities. He pointed out that in order to mitigate the potential for increased flooding
and flooding experienced in the past by downstream property owners, an oversized detention
pond will be created along with the subdivision. This, coupled with other required mitigation
measu~s will help to decrease the flooding potential currently being experienced by residents
downstream.
Mr. Hamilton stated that Rezoning Application RZ- 2-05 proposes to rezone property at 2141
Gold Hills Drive and 6111 Oasis Road from "RM-6" Residential Multiple Family District to
"RM -6- PD" Residential Multiple Family District with Planned Development Overlay District
in order to provide construction of narrow lots, requiring a Zoning Map amendment.
Mr. Hamilton related that as part of the traffic mitigation process, signalization will be
required by the developer at the Interstate 5 (1-5) and Oasis Road interchange. The
signalization is subject to reimbursement of this developer by other development projects that
come to the area and create cumulative impacts. He pointed out that the signalization will not
mitigate all future impacts and other measures will be added as development occurs.

Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Plan prepared for The Reserve at
Gold Hills Sub~ivisi9n, approve the Rezoning Applica~ion RZ-2-05, Planned Development
Plan Application PD-2-05, and Tentative Subdivision Map Application S-17 -04, subject to
th~ Conditions of Approval, offer an ordinance for first reading by title only, and waive the
full reading. .
In response to Council Member Mathena, Senior Pla~ner Wildauer advised that there is an
agreement between the developer and the property owner, Tangleray, to the north of the
detention pond allowing overflow waters to back up onto the Tangleray property to prevent
flooding downstream in heavy or lengthy rain events.
Mayor Murray expressed concern regarding amenity and offsite development for the various
phases of the project ~nd noted that, in the past, developers have sold remaining parcels of a
tentative map and the proposed amenities, promised to original purchasers, are never
completed. , He sugge~ted that Cond,ition of Approval No.4 be modified to ensure that
covenants are recorded with the land so that future developers would be obligated to complete
amenities and/or improv~l;TIents.

Mike Dormer of Sharrah, Dunlap Sawyer, and representing developer Brian Burk, advised
that Phase 1 of the project would be Neighborltood C and would provide an additional access.
He urged the qty Council to approve the project.
Linda Mahaffey, Redding resident, expressed concerns regarding flooding issues. She stated
that she is a long-time resi4ent of the area and experienced flooding eight years ago and again
in 2003. She hoped that sOlI\e type of maintenance could be performed in various creek areas
to remove vegetation,especially from Salt Creek, and asked that an ongoing maintenance plan
and possible formation of a maintenance (.listrict be considered. In response, Mr. Hamilton
assured Ms. Mahaffey that the proposed subdivision would not increase flooding but mitigate
potent~al and som~ long-standing probleqIs. He recalled that discussions were held and
studies completed in 2004 in partnership with the golf course and area homeowners regarding
maintenance to poth Salt Creek apd Dry Gulch Creek as well as formation of an assessment
district for long-term maintena,nce. However, no progress has been made since that time.
I
Mayor Murray determhled t~at no other i~divj4ual wished to address this matter and closed
the public hearing.
In response to Council Member Dickerson, City Attorney Duvernay explained that although
studies were 40ne a few years ago to determine needs relative to flooding and maintaining the
creek areas, q,om.eowners initiated litigation against the City and Gold. Hills Golf Course, and
the City h~s not been at liberty to move on those studies. He added that the courts have since
determined that the City was not ~~mtributory t9 the flooding proQlems in the area, but the
case is still pending with the Golf Course; consequently, the studies and remedies are in
abeyance.

PUBLIC HEARING
ORDINANCE - Amending Redding Municipal Code Chapter18.45 and 18.61 relating to Tree
PreselVation and Planting
(A-050- 220-07 5)
The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Murray opened the public hearing regarding
amendments to Redding Municipal Code Chapter 18.45 and 18.61 relating to tree preselVation
and planting.
The following document is on file in the Office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received.
Development SelVices Director Hamilton recalled that the Planning Commission held several
meetings that included discussion of the City's Tree Ordinance and, as a result of those
meetings, the Tree PreselVation Ordinance Review Committee was formed to review and
determine if the existing Ordinance was accomplishing the pUlposes for which it was
established, and to provide necessary changes to improve administration and effectiveness.
The Committee, made up of seven members from the public (three from the Planning
Commission, and five from City staff), held eight meetings which focused on redefining the
term, "protected tree," sought to close loopholes in the list of exemptions that may lead to
unwarranted tree removal, and reviewed land development and tree-assessment practices to
improve preselVation and long-term sUlVival of trees.
Mr. Hamilton recommended that the City Council approve amendments to Redding Municipal
Code (RMC) Section 18.45-Tree PreselVation by repealing it in its entirety and replacing it
with a new Chapter 18.45-Tree Management Ordinance, and amending RMC Section
18.61.020-Tree Terms by repealing said terms and replacing it in its entirety, offer an
ordinance for first reading by title only, waive the full reading, develop a City-wide
landmark/heritage tree inventory, a City-street tree plan, and a specific list of trees for tree
planting in new developments.
Mike Dormer, Ed Hasleru, Gail Rich, Frances Jenkins, and Susan Weale urged support for
the Tree Management Ordinance, education for the community, and suggested development
of a tree bank amendment whereby if saving trees at a particular location is not feasible,
additional trees may be preselVed in an alternative area.
Mayor Murray determined that no other individual wished to address this matter and closed
the public hearing.
Council discussion ensued regarding a penalty amount that would provide a sufficient
deterrent against tree removal by developers, but with enough flexibility to determine the
degree of culpability dependent upon circumstances. Mr. Hamilton pointed out that an appeal
process will be available.

Mayor Murray supported a tre~ i~ventory, but pointed out that staffing resources are not
suf(icient to undertake such a process at this t~me and suggested that additional information
regarding staff time and costs be developed and provided to City Council for consideration
prior to implementation. Mr. Hamilton estimated a very bro~d inventory could cost as much
as $S,OOO to $1~,000. -
