Development Services Director Hamilton recalled that the Oasis Road Specific Plan (ORSP)
has taken more than six years to develop. He stated that over the course of several years,
numerous public meetings were held and significant public comment received which
culminated on June 6, 2006, when the City Council certified the Oasis Road Specific Plan
Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR) (EIR-I-02) and provided direction to staff
regarding the preferred land use alternative for preparation of the final draft of the ORSP.
In conjunction with certification of the MEIR and findings that the project would result in
significant, unavoidable impacts related to air quality, noise, and parklands, Mr. Hamilton
advised that the City Council must approve the Statement of Overriding Considerations
which considers the various benefits of the project and whether they outweigh the adverse
environmental impacts.
Mr. Hamilton explained that the Planning Commission reviewed the Plan and Council's
preferred land use alternative making the following recommendations for the ORSP: 1)
reduce commercial intensity, 2) eliminate high density residential uses west of Chum Creek,
3) establish at least one park site east of Interstate 5 (also recommended by the Community
Services Advisory Commission), and 5) maintain plans for the eventual extension of Hawley
Road as a future arterial street.
I
Senior Planner Manuel summarized the differences between the proposed ORSP and the
General Plan which include zoning ch~nges from single-family residential to commercial and
multi- family, as well as changes to the Transportation and Circulation Elements eliminating
Twin View Boulevard north of Oasis Road and eliminating the Hawley Road extension as
an arterial street. He related that concerns have been voiced that there is too much multi-
family housing on this plan, pointing out that the General Plan Housing Element provides
for 80 acres of Residential 10-20 units per acre and the ORSP proposes 129 acres for that
designation. He stated that the state mandate only recognizes density consisting of 15 units
per acre, but it is anticipated that the state will require 20 units per acre by 2008. He added
that the City has only 10 acres zoned for that type of density making it necessary to set aside
additional land for the next Housing Element update. Mr. Manuel said that multi-family
housing must be in areas where there is proximity to transportation corridors, retail, services,
jobs, recreational opportunities, and adequate sized parcels.
Mr. Manuel pointed out that although the amount of commercial space exceeds what is
currently projected, historically, it has not been possible to make commercial space available
once acreage has been designated residential. He noted that it is important to provide
sufficient commercial area for future expansion at the beginning of a process and added that
by providing greater commercial acreage, the probably is that it will equate to a greater
amount of public improvements paid with private development funds.
I
Mr. Manuel recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution adopting the Candidate
Findings SCH #2000062144 and the Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program, and
approve the Statement of Overriding Considerations and the General Plan Amendment GP A-
8-06 for the Oasis Road Specific Plan. He further recommended that the City Council offer
an ordinance for first reading, waive the full reading, adopting the ORSP and approving
Rezoning Application RZ-II-06 amending the Redding Municipal Code Zoning Map
Chapter 18.57.
In response to Council Member Stegall, City Attorney Duvernay stated that the resolution
and ordinance adopting the Specific Plan and zoning redesignations are consistent with the
direction given to staff by Council on June 6,2006. However, he said ifthe City Council
wishes to make significant changes to the ORSP, it is probable that the Plan would have to
be recirculated for comments and brought back at a later date for consideration.
I
In response to Mayor Murray, Mr. Manuel explained that parkland definitions include 50-
foot-wide trail corridors, but would not include any actual stream area. The trails provided
in the ORSP will add 30 acres of parkland, but the total amount will still be less than the 10
acres per 1,000 population as specified in the Parks, Trails, and Open Space Master Plan.
Gail Rich, Mark Mezzano, Linda Mahaffey, Phyllis Pollack, Dennis Bettencourt, Dwight
Bailey, and Rick Barnett, President of Mercy Medical Center, urged that Hawley Road not
be extended and opposed approval of the current ORSP citing: too-high housing densities,
excess multi-family units, potential for increased crime, lack of sufficient parkland, possible
flooding, loss of mature trees, impacts to creeks, and lack of school sites, referencing the
9/19/2006
201
letter froIll Gateway Unified School District requesting that 20 acres be set aside for schools
to mitigate tl1e proposed 2,200 housing units to be built as part of the ORSP.
Eihnard Diaz, representing Thomason Development, urged adoption of the ORSP preferred
land use alternative, but was concerned because an alternative Interstate /Oasis Road
interchange location was not considered. He stated that they would like more details
re.garding financing mechanisms. He also took exception to objections voiced about multi-
family housing, pointing out that many people today have been priced out of the single-
, .
family residence market and need quality multi-family housing at a reasonable cost.
I
Mike Ashby, representing ~venson Development, supported staffs recommendation and
urged adoption oftlle ORSP.
Mayor Murray determined that no other individual wished to address this matter and closed
the public l)earing.
,
The City Council voiced unanimous support for its decision on June 6, 2006, to eliminate the
Hawley Roaq ~xtension from the ORSP
I
Council Member IyIathena supported staff s recommendation and believed that multi-family
housing is the wave of the future for California, particularly in areas where shopping and
commercial development is close by. He pointed out that the entire commercial development
would not happen over night but would be a lengthy process. He stated that an alternative
school site should be considered because the one originally planned was found to be too
close to a gas line.
C~unci1 Member Stegallfilaintained support for the environmentally superior plan sh~ had
chosen at the June 6, 2006, meeting and advised that her views had not change.d. She
fa"ored consistency of the ORSP with the General Plan and believed no. changes should be
cOIlsidered., She viewed the ORSP as an opportunity for the City Council to send a me~sage
regarding the typ~ of development envisioned for the City and suggested that the plan be
studied further regarding commercial deIlsity ap.d iI1sufficient parkland.
Council Melllbers Pohlmeyer and Dickerson supported staff s recommendations and did not
favor delaying ad<,>ption of the Plan further citing the many years of review ap.d scrutiny it
ha~ undergone and that it represents good planning for the area for the next 20 to 30 years.
They pointed out, however, that like the General Plan, this Plan is subject to amendments if
and when it becomes necessary.
Mayor Murray stated he was not comfortable with the ORSP as presented believing that a
lack of parklap.~ is a nexus for increased crime. He voiced support for the Comm,unity
Development Advisory and Planning Commissions' recommendations regarding addit.ional
parklands on the east side of Interstate 5, and that density levels be consistent with the
existing General Plan. . Due to those concerns, he ~tated he would not support the proposed
ORSP.
