PUBLIC HEARING - Abandonment of undeveloped City-owned park dedications at 397
Tourmaline Way (A-OI-05), Lake Redding Estates Unit I-A; and 3146 Bedrock Lane (A-04-
05), Lake Redding Estates Unit I-B
(A-OI0-080)
City Council Member Murray recused himself from discussion and voting on this item due
to significant real estate dealings in these subdivisions resulting in the appearance of conflict
of interest.
The hour of7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Dickerson opened the public hearing regarding
the proposal to abandon undeveloped City-owned park dedications at 397 Tourmaline Way
(A-OI-05), Lake Redding Estates Unit I-A, and 3146 Bedrock Lane (A-04-05), Lake
Redding Estates Unit I-B.

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 no protests were received.
. Community Services Director Niemer recalled that in 2003, the Parks, Trails, and Open
Space Master Plan Committee evaluated park needs Citywide and concluded that because
Lake Redding Estates Subdivision had an abundance of recreational opportunities in close
proximity, that the value of two City-owned, undeveloped park dedications at 397
Tourmaline Way (A-OI-05) and 3146 Bedrock Lane (A-04-05) be transferred to other
locations. She stated that the anticipated proceeds from the sale of the two park sites would
be approximately $240,000 and could be used for parks in this quadrant of the City. She
pointed out, however, that if the park sites are not sold, it could be quite some time before
the sites are funded for improvements. She related that meetings were held with
neighborhood residents and the comments indicated that although the first preference was
to build out the sites if possible, the proceeds should be used nearby.
Ms. Niemer recommended that pursuant to Government Code Section 38506, the City
Council order the City-owned park dedications at 397 Tourmaline Way and 3146 Bedrock
Lane abandoned, that the properties be declared as surplus, and direct staffto proceed with
the sale.
I
Burton Brocket, Redding resident, supported the sale of the park sites because existing parks
in the area appear to be used very little, and because Lake Redding Estates was constructed
20 years ago, the majority of children have grown and gone.
Leona McCoach, Community Services Advisory Commission Chair urged abandonment of
the undeveloped park sites and that the proceeds be used for other park sites within or near
the neighborhood.
Kathy Hill, Redding resident, asked that funds from the sale of the parks be used for
improvements within 1/2-mile ofthe sites and suggested refurbishing the restrooms at Lake
Redding Park.
Shelley Cersaro, Redding Resident, urged that the park sites not be sold because parks
provide opportunities to maintain health.
Mayor Dickerson determined that no other individual wished to address this matter and
closed the public hearing.
I
Council Member Jones advised that while he understood the rationale for the proposed sale
ofthe park sites, he did not support staffs recommendation believing that a commitment was
made to area residents and should be honored.
Mayor Dickerson observed that although the commitment was made in the past to build the
parks, a citizen committee reviewing and making recommendations for adoption of the
Parks, Trails, and Open Space Master Plan recommended these park sites be sold.
Council Member Stegall suggested that staff meet with the residents in the area and receive
input regarding use ofthe sale proceeds to improve park sites within a 112-mile radius.

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
I
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that a letter from Citizens for Smart Growth was received
supporting the project but delineating concerns regarding making the proposed park as large
as possible, include six items submitted from the Bikes and Trails' Council, creatively build
around trees in the Canyon Creek area, protect salmon and steelhead spawning areas,
maintain design review, and require green design and building techniques.
Development Services Director Hamilton provided highlights of the Report to City Council
dated June 7,2007, incorporated herein by reference, and provided a Powerpoint presentation
depicting the Westrigde Master Plan which proposes development of approximately 400
acres on the west side of Redding located northeast of Power Line Road, east of Placer Road,
and west of the Canyon Creek Road terminus at Blazingwood Drive. The project would
provide 271 single-family homes, 260 acres of open space and also proposes annexation of
approximately 126 acres ofland. However, during the Planning Commission process, the
Commission recommended annexation of only 76 acres to include the Greenview and Campo
Calle areas, and exclude the Powerline Road area because no project has been introduced.
I
Mr. Hamilton stated that the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) and Mitigation
Monitoring and Recording Program will be presented first and voted on separately. He
pointed out that proposed General Plan Amendments GPA-7-03 and GPA-3-04 would
remove the Canyon Creek Road extension to Placer Road from the General Plan
Transportation Element and provide prezoning for the proposed annexation properties. He
added that the General Plan amendments must be approved in concept and brought back later
in the meeting for adoption. Mr. Hamilton stated that the annexations would also revise the
Primary Growth Boundary identified in the Community Development and Design Element,
and the rezoning would change the land use classification of property from "Residential, 1
to 5 acres per unit" to "Residential, 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre." He stated that the
project also provides several traffic mitigation measures to be funded by the developer
including widening Placer Road to four lanes from the Westridge project entrance to
Buenaventura Boul,evard and the developer's financial participation (19%) in the widening
of Buena ventura Boulevard to Airpark Drive.
Mr. Hamilton stated that the main issues for the project are: fire protection, water supplies,
mitigation monitoring, a park fee agreement, Placer Road connection - interim and
6/1912007
130
permanent, emergency secondary access, Campo Calle access, Tree Management Ordinance,
and an off-site sewer line extension. These issues are discussed and mitigated to the greatest
extent possible through the FEIR, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and in
some instances through the Conditions of Approval for the Subdivisions. He pointed out that
the Centerville Community Services District (CCSD) would supply the water service and has
advised that it has the ability to provide treated water to the project at full buildout. He stated
that a letter from CCSD provides information to make the necessary findings required by
Government Code Section 66473.7 regarding delivery of a "sufficient water supply."
Mr. Hamilton advised that the City's Master Sewer Plan includes an extension ofthe sewer
line along the Canyon Creek stream corridor in an area which would be off-site. He related
that the developer is obligated to make every attempt to obtain right-of-way for the sewer
extension, but if all attempts fail, the developer could return to the City requesting that the
necessary easement be obtained through eminent domain. It is conceivable he said that
another option could be considered for the sewer line extension prior to commencement of
eminent domain proceedings, however, the property in question would be the preferred route
for the line and is identified in the General Plan and Sewer Master Plan. City Attorney
Duvernay interjected that the sewer extension must be consistent with the City's Sewer
Master Plan and options are very limited to change the sewer extension through property
owned by William Cox as set forth in the General Plan. He pointed out that although it is
required that the developer secure an easement and bargain in good faith, this particular issue
would be an appropriate use of eminent domain because a sewer extension serves the good
of the City and has been included in various documents over the years.
I
Mr. Hamilton related that the Westridge II Subdivision (S-4-04, by Guiton, Gerboth, and
Guiton) will consist of66 single-family lots, 22.4 acres of public or private open space, 25.5
acres designated remainder, an overall density of 2.19 units per acre, and dedication of 1.2
acres of land as a portion of the 13-acre public park planned for the Westridge Master Plan.
The Westridge III Subdivision (S-19-03 by Greenview Development, Inc.) will have 132
single- family lots with 168 acres in open space, an overall density of 1.93 units per acre, and
the developer will dedicate land and construct an approximately 13-acre public park,
pursuant to the proposed Park Fee Agreement which is included for consideration.
I
Mr. Hamilton explained that many public meetings have been held and comments received,
but the major issues seemed to focus on the formula used relative to the number of completed
houses that would trigger locking and unlocking the fire trail emergency access which was
included in the Conditions of Approval for both Subdivisions. The completion formula was
also tied to financial issues to fund various road improvements.
6/1912007
Mr. Hamilton stated that the annexations were of some concern to residents, in that the
Planning Commission did not recommend approval of Annexation AN-2-04 and AN-3-04
because no plans were submitted. To have orderly annexation and findings, the proposed use
should be known and mitigated measures in place prior to request for annexation. There are
questions in the annexation process which cannot be answered without a proposed plan for
use of the propert~.
Mr. Hamilton explained that with the various recommendations, certain findings must be
made as follows:
1.

5.
Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan;
Project will not significantly alter existing land form;

the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
FEIR was presented to the City Council who reviewed and considered the
information contained in the FEIR
There is no substantial evidence that the Project as proposed, together with the
mitigations listed in the FEIR, will have a significant effect on the environment .
FEIR reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis

County Service Area No. I-Fire Protection), generally located east of Placer Road, northeast
of Power Line Road, and west of Canyon Creek Road terminus at Blazingwood Drive; 5)-
offer an ordinance for first reading and waive the full reading, amending Redding Municipal
Code Section 18.01.050 (Zoning Map) by approving Rezoning Application RZ-ll-03,
rezoning and prezoning property identified as the Westridge Master Plan and Annexation
Area site generally located northeast of Power Line Road, east of Placer Road, and west of
Canyon Creek Road terminus at Blazingwood Drive, rezoning from "RS-2" and "RS-3"
Residential Single Family District to "RS-3" Residential Single Family District and "OS"
Open Space District and prezoning to "RE-l " Residential Estate District, "RS-3" Residential
Single Family District, and "OS" Open Space District, 6) approve, in concept, General Plan
Amendment Applications GPA-7-03 and GPA-3-04.
Council Member Murray asked that public testimony be taken on the FEIR first, and that the
public testimony be closed prior to testimony being taken on the remainder of the Project.
In response to Council Member Murray's request, City Attorney Duvernay advised that the
City Council may vote for the FEIR "in concept" only because the resolution dealing with
the FEIR California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) compliance has two parts; it adopts
the FEIR, but also adopts project specific findings with regard to the two subdivisions and
could be interpreted as adoption of the project in its entirety.
Public Comment - Final Environmental Impact Report for the Westridge Master Plan
and Annexations
Eihnard Diaz, representing Greenview Development, Inc., Guiton, Gerboth, and Guiton, and
Hoff and Howell, advised that they concur with the findings of the FEIR and the mitigation
measures.
Susan Weale, Bruce Waggoner, Tim Sargent, Marilyn Sargent, Lee Homer, did not support
certification of the FEIR citing a complex sewer easement issue and lack of alternative
routing, the potential for use of eminent domain to assist a developer, impacts and loss of
wetlands, temporary roads, perceived violation of the City's Tree Ordinance, traffic
congestion impacts, loss of wildlife and habitat, and current violations from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (Corps) for construction of Spice wood Drive.
Rex Rider, Redding resident, supported the FEIR, the Westridge Master Plan, and additional
egress points from the Country Heights Subdivision.
Mayor Dickerson determined that no other individual wished to address this matte~ and
closed the public hearing on the FEIR.
Council Member Stegall pointed out that the FEIR makes a good faith effort at full disclosure
. of issues for mitigation, but it is not a project approval.
In response to Council Member Jones regarding the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
notice to "Cease and Desist," Mr. Diaz explained that the "Cease and Desist" order was
issued to another developer for construction of Spicewood Drive without obtaining the
necessary permits from the Corps. Since that time, a permit application was submitted and
the Corps has been reviewing this application for four years. Mr. Diaz added that a Regional
Water Quality Control Board permit was obtained, after the fact, for the Spicewood
improvements. He stated that this is a different development group and, to the extent
possible, Westridge Developers are avoiding jurisdictional waters and wetlands areas.
6/1912007

Mr. Duvernay stated that he received a letter from Friends of Canyon Creek drafted by
attorney Joseph Brecher questioning the adequacy of the FEIR with regard to water supply
issues. Although he had not responded in writing, Mr. Duvernay stated for the record, that
the City's position, as required by CEQA, is that a secure water supply has been provided for
the project. He indicated that Mr. Brecher cited a recent California Supreme Court decision
involving the City of Rancho Cordova and that decision set rules as to what is necessary for
determination of an adequate FEIR water supply. He advised that Senate Bill 221 was also
cited which states that when projects are considered, that a secure water supply be analyzed
in the FEIR, and that the adequate water supplies be considered to serve not only people, but
the environment. He explained that the Supreme Court decision set a four-part test for
determination of water supply for potential projects, that when looking at an EIR one cannot
ignore or assume a water supply, a water supply should be considered beyond a short term
basis, and there must be a likelihood of providing water in the future. Mr. Duvernay
explained that the case and facts of the City of Rancho Cordova as set forth in the Supreme
Court decision depicts a totally different situation than the Project FEIR under review at this
time. He related that the project submitted in Rancho Cordova anticipated 22,000 residential
units and park, office, and commercial space and would require 22,000 acre feet of water.
He stated that the developer for that project did not have any secure water supply, but
provided a plan to dig a well for 10,000 acre feet of water, of which 5,000 acre feet would
serve the project. The developer further indicated that an entitlement to 15,000 acre feet of
water out of the American River would be sought. The Court saw that the acre feet in the
proposed plan was only 20,000 when the project required 22,000. Mr. Duvernay related that
the Court found that there were assumptions made without a strong likelihood of any of the
assumptions coming to fruition. In contrast, he said the water supply from the CCSD has
entitlement to 3,800 acre feet of water from which 900 acre feet is owned outright and 2,900
is under contract for forty (40) years to serve its current and future growth. He pointed out
that CCSD is currently only using 1,700 acre feet of its available supply and the Project
would only need 330 acre feet ofthe remaining CCSD 2,100 acre feet supply. He added that
CCSD also has a contract with the Clear Creek Treatment Plant in which it has a 25%
entitlement to the output of the plant and is currently only using 16% of that amount. He
concluded that unlike Rancho Cordova, the Westridge Project has firm commitments for an
adequate water supply now and through buildout.
I
In response to Council Member Murray's question whether the findings that the Centerville
Community Services District can deliver a sufficient water supply should be incorporated
into the motion for approval ofthe FEIR, Mr. Duvernay advised that the findings should be
made part of the project (tentative map) approval only.

MOTION: Made by Council Member Murray, seconded by Council Member Bosetti,

Westridge Master Plan and Annexation Area Project. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Public Comment - Rezoning. Tentative Subdivision Maps for the Westridge II and II
Subdivisions, and General Plan Amendments
Gary Cadd, resident of Ridge view Subdivision, expressed concern regarding the emergency
fire access road set forth in the Conditions of Approval for both Westridge II and Westridge
III Subdivisions. He asked that Section 15 be amended adding subsection e. - "Lock
approved by the City Engineer and City Fire Marshal shall be installed on the emergency-
access road gate at Everest Drive," adding to subsection 15 .e.( 1) "The emergency-access road
be gated and locked immediately upon completion. The gate shall be unlocked and closed
with the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the 55th lot in the Westridge Subdivision.
The gate be permanently locked upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the 77th lot
in the Westridge Subdivision. It is not intended that the emergency access road ever be
converted to a standard public street," and adding subsection 15.e.(6) "No walking trail will
be constructed next to the emergency access road, from the emergency-access road bridge
up to Everest Drive." and finally, that the word "decorative" be added to 15.e.(2) relative to
the design and materials of the gate. Mr. Hamilton stated that this was similar to what staff
was conditioning and advised that it could be included with Council approval.
I
Council Member Bosetti related that he met with area residents, including Mr. Cadd, and
he recommended that the amendments suggested by Mr. Cadd be added to the Conditions
of Approval for Section 15.
6/19/2007
133
Lang Dayton, representing the Trails and Bikeway Council of Greater Redding, supported
the Project citing connectivity ofthe trails with other areas and urged that the proposed trails
be constructed prior to the sale of homes.
William Cox, Redding resident, advised that he is the property owner of the proposed
location for the sewer extension and that the developer has not approached him regarding the
purchase of an easement or right -of-way across his property. He opposed the use of eminent
domain to benefit a private developer.
I
In response to Council concerns, Mr. Duvernay pointed out that discussions regarding
acquisition of easements and particularly of eminent domain are somewhat premature
because the project has not been approved. He added that the use of eminent domain for a
sewer extension (public infrastructure) is not equal to taking land from one property owner
and giving it to another for development.
Doug Eaton, representing Leon Jones (area property owner), stated that the Jones' anticipated
annexation in the area quite some time ago, but have never been contacted regarding
annexation which they support. He stated that when the Development Services Department
was contacted about omitting the Jones', the rationale was that a tentative map had not been
prepared and submitted by the Jones' and, therefore, the property was not included. Mr.
Eaton asked that Council postpone approval of the annexation for 90 days to provide the
Jones' with an opportunity to prepare a map application for submission so that his property
can be included. Mr. Hamilton responded that the lack of a tentative map or project was not
the deciding factor in omitting the Jones' property to the annexation request, but the
annexation request is based on satisfaction of the General Plan Policy adopted in 2000
relative to the annexation process.
I
Eihnard Diaz, also representing Leon Jones, pointed out that the Report to the Planning
Commission dated May 14, 2007, indicates that the Powerline Annexation Area was
addressed in the Prezoning criteria. He contended that the Powerline Annexation Area
should be included in the development proposal as necessary infrastructure because
emergency responders coming into the Westridge Subdivision areas, must access Powerline
Road. Mr. Hamilton responded that, at this time, annexation of the area does not provide a
logical service area progression or a logical connection to future development. City fire and
police services would have to travel a mile on Powerline Road (in Shasta County) to service
the houses in that area and he added that the road is substandard.
Ron Reece, Co-Founder of Citizens for Smart Growth, supported the Westridge Project as
a model development provided that the City Council enlarge the proposed park, retain as
many trees as possible, grade responsibly, encourage "green" building, and develop a
checklist that could be posted for public review.
Joy Newcom-Wade and Russ Wade maintained that intersections such as Placer Road west
of Buena ventura Boulevard should comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
before any further construction is attempted in the area. Theyalso voiced concern regarding
construction noise, earthquake preparedness, construction chemicals use~ for the project, a
water supply outside the City limits, acquisition of rights-of-ways and the infrastructure
timetable.
I
Rex Rider, Bruce Waggoner, Susan Weale, Marilyn Sargent expressed concern regarding
placement of the sewer extension easement through Mr. Cox's property, aesthetics of the
Project, the emergency access road locking/unlocking thresholds, clear-cut "grading, and
suggested providing an in-place monitoring group to ensure adherence to requirements.
Mr. Diaz pointed out that the Hoff and Howell property is directly adjacent to Mr. Cox's
property and their representative, Ron Middleton, and Keith Wahl ofOmni Means has had
numerous conversations with Mr. Cox relative"to the proposed sewer easement and informed
Mr. Cox that the proposed sewerline would extend into his existing driveway for 350 feet.
Mr. Diaz explained that certain elements of the proposed project must be in place before
discussions could begin with Mr. Cox regarding the sewerline right-of-way. These included
an appraisal (received just this week), calculations to determine the amount of linear feet
needed for the sewerline extension which could not be made until a design was completed,
and approval of the completed environmental process and tentative map by the City Council.
He assured the City Council that it was never anyone's intention not to include Mr. Cox in
discussions, but rather certain elements of the project needed to be completed before serious
6/19/2007
134
negotiations could take place. He contended that Mr. Cox entered into a Deferred
Improvement Agreement in 1988 with the City for road frontage improvements and that
document may have a bearing on the sewer extension, dependent upon where the road
frontage is placed.
Mr. Diaz also addressed several public comments, pointing out that the intention of the
developers is to avoid, as much as possible, any wetland areas and that they are well aware
of necessary permits if no alternatives are found. He stated that the circumstances relative
to the amount of homes sold necessary to trigger improvements on Placer Road were
approved by the developers. He also pointed out that the park size was recommended by the
Community Services Advisory Commission in July 2006. He stated that "green" housing
technology has and will be reviewed for use in these developments.
I
In response to Council Member Stegall, Mr. Diaz explained that the Tree Ordinance is being
strictly adhered to and the reference made to cutting trees offthe ridgetop during grading did
not point out that those trees were primarily "scrub." He noted that 260 acres of open space
are being preserved where no trees of any type will be removed and the Grading Ordinance
which prohibits debris falling into the creek areas below and requires erosion control will be
strictly adhered to.
Mr. Diaz urged that the Powerline Road annexation be included, as it provides a loop
through the Project.
Paul Edgren, developer, thanked City staff for assistance in bringing the Project this far. He
urged Council approval and supported inclusion ofthe Jones and McColl properties in the
annexation process.
In response to Council Member Stegall, Mr. Hamilton reiterated that because no project
applications for annexation were received, it is not feasible to include the Jones and McColl
properties in the annexation process at this time because questions regarding a proposed
project could not be addressed. He pointed out that the property owners could develop a
proposal and apply for annexation at a later date.
Council Member Murray supported annexation of the Greenview and Campo Calle areas
with a caveat to provide an opportunity for annexation ofthe other two properties (Powerline
Road) in approximately 180 days.
I
Leon Jones, property owner, contended that he was told by City staff not to bring forward a
tentative map proposal because he would be included in the annexation without one. He
stated that he had anticipated being included in the annexation for a number of years and was
prepared to move forward. He urged the City Council to include his property in the
annexation and added that he believed that the best route for the sewerline extension would
be through his property and not Mr. Cox's.
Council Member Bosetti expressed concern that Mr. Jones was led to believe he would be
included in the al11)exation process and supported addition ofthe Powerline Road annexation
AN -3 -04 to the request to LAFCO, maintaining that there was enough information to warrant
moving forward with AN-3-04 and that a tentative map could be submitted by Mr. Jones at
a later date.
Mayor Dickerson determined that no other individual wished to address this matter and
closed the public hearing.
Council Member Jones advised that he was unwilling to consider eminent domain on the
Cox property and, therefore, would vote no on all aspects ofthe Westridge Project.

Council Member Murray expressed support for orderly expansion of development of cities
with processes through the law, including eminent domain, but did not support the excesses
practiced in some areas, particularly under redevelopment law, that would take property from
one private person to enrich another.
Council Member Murray questioned how the monitoring, as set forth in the proposed
addition of Conditions of Approval 104 (Westridge II) and 107 (Westridge III) for the
Tentative Subdivision Maps, would be accomplished. Specifically, what funds would be
available to pay for someone to monitor that this condition was properly completed. Mr.
Hamilton responded that new Conditions as proposed by staff could be amended to reflect
that the developer make a payment initially for monitoring purposes.
Council Member Murray also questioned how much of the cost of the proposed traffic
mitigations would be the responsibility of the City as the Report states that the developer will
only be paying a "fair share." Mr. Hamilton explained that many of the projects are included
in the City's Traffic Impact Fee priority list, however, if there is not sufficient funding or it
is not a street slated for TIF funding, the usual course is to negotiate a reimbursement
agreement with the developer to disburse "shares" for road improvements at a later date.
In response to Council Member Murray's concerns regarding Condition of Approval 8, that
the developer shall be responsible for all off-site right-of-ways or easements, City Engineer
Tippin assured that, as standard practice, improvement plans are not accepted or grading
permits issued until such time as the rights-of-way are secured, but he stated that language
could be added that no grading permit shall be issued until such time as the easements are
in place.
I
Council Member Murray also expressed concern with Condition of Approval 16.c which
appeared to depend on the 'ability of the developers to work together with good will. He
hoped that one developer would not rush through completion of units and reach the 150-
home trigger for improvements before the other developer had an opportunity to complete
enough homes to financially participate in the improvement. Mr. Hamilton concurred and
stated that inter-relationships of the developers is always at issue, however formulating a
method to control construction ofthe amount of homes needed to trigger improvements such
as the widening of Placer Road is difficult at best, but it does dictate that the developers work
together. He contended that either Westridge II or III would not be able to reach the trigger
point of 150 homes alone. Following discussion, the City Council concurred not to amend
this Condition.
Council Member Murray urged that Condition of Approval 90 be amended to include
language that "the developer shall be responsible for the park design in coordination with the
City's Community Services Department and in concert with the Youth Action Council." He
also recommended that the proposed trails be identified. .

(S-101-120/^L-OIO-211-032/^G-030-010/^L-OIO-230)
The hour of7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Dickerson opened the public hearing regarding
the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Lakeridge Cottages, Tentative
Subdivision Map S-13-06, Planned Development Application PD-6-06, General Plan
Amendment Application GP A -9-06, and Rezoning Application RZ-12-06, located at 11106
Campers Court, southwest of the Interstate 5/Lake Boulevard/State Route 299 interchange,
by Thomas Martin & Associates.
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 no protests were received.
I
Development Services Director Hamilton provided highlights of the Report to City Council
dated June 5, 2007, explaining that Tentative Map Application S-13-06 proposes to
subdivide 4.9 steep acres into the 43-unit, small-lot Lakeridge Cottages Subdivision located
at 11106 Campers Court. In order to accomplish this, developer, Thomas Martin and
Associates, applied for a General Plan Amendment GP A-9-06 to change the land designation
from "Residential 2-3-5 units per acre" and Residential 6-1 0 units per acre" and "Greenway"
to "Residential 6-10 units per acre" and "General Commercial," Rezoning Application RZ-
12-06 and Planned Development Plan PD-6-06 to rezone the property from "GC" General
Commercial District to "RM-9-PD" Residential Multiple Family District with Planned
Development District Overlay. He explained that the homes would be detached but clustered
in groups of four to ten units, with a shared access from a central "motor court" driveway
which will be maintained by a homeowners association. He related that 81 trees will be
removed due to steep terrain and significant -grading, but will be replaced with 262 trees
which are part of the development.
Mr. Hamilton related that included in the General Plan Amendment, is property currently
utilized as a trailer park/recreational vehicle park which is zoned "Greenway." The zoning
will be changed to "General Commercial."
Mr. Hamilton recommended that the City Council make findings to adopt the Mitigated
Negative Declaration prepared for the Lakeridge Cottages Subdivision Project, approve
General Plan Amendment GP A-9-06 in concept, approve Tentative Subdivision Map S-13-
6/1912007
138
06, approve Planned Development PD-6-06 and Rezoning Application RZ-12-06, and offer
an ordinance for first reading and waive the full reading.
Dean Roesner, Redding resident, recalled that at the Planning Commission meeting, a six-
foot noise wall was to be installed around the perimeter of the project. However, there
appeared to be a discrepancy between the Tentative Map and the staff report that indicated
the noise wall would not connect on the south boundary. He explained that his property is
adjacent to the south boundary of the project, and if the wall does not connect at that point,
it will become a gateway to a wooded area on his property. He pointed out that this open
section would invite trespassers to use his property for recreation and other purposes leaving
him vulnerable to liability claims. He also took exception to the General Plan amendment
which proposes greater densities for the project than exist on his and other adjoining
properties because, historically, the area has shared the same density. Mr. Rosener asked that
the General Plan amendment only include the Lakeridge Cottages project and the existing
mobile home park and exclude the area which may be proposed for the Lakeridge Oaks. He
also asked that there be a buffer density between the properties to the south (Residential, 2
to 3.5 units per acre) and the proposed General Plan Amendment for property west of the
Lakeridge Cottages project site (Residential, 6 to 10 units per acre). He also advised that
he had not received notification by mail of the this evening's public hearing.
I
In response to Mayor Dickerson regarding the proposed noise wall, Mr. Hamilton
acknowledged that the staff report to the Planning Commission was incorrect, and that in
accordance with the Conditions of Approval for the Project, there will be a complete wall
on the south side of the project. He added that the proposed General Plan amendment
coincides with existing Zoning on the property.
Rita Lorenz, Ed Gorge and John McDermott, opposed the General Plan amendment to
increase the density of the property directly behind their homes, and added that they, too, did
not receive notification of the public hearing, but heard about it from a neighbor. They
pointed out that the amendment would affect neighbors to the west ofthe Lakeridge Cottages
project as well and cited other issues of concern such as increased traffic, noise, safety, and
the loss of open space and greenway areas.
Mayor Dickerson expressed concern that these people did not receive notification regarding
the proposed General Plan amendment.
I
City Attorney Duvernay advised that because these property owners were omitted from
notification of the public hearing, he recommended that the City Council return the General
Plan issue be returned to the Planning Commission level to afford these people with an
opportunity to voice their concerns.
Mr. Hamilton acknowledged that while certain affected individuals had inadvertently been
omitted from the notification process, their concerns regarding General Plan Amendment
density issues for the property west of the Lakeridge Cottages project (unofficially
earmarked for the Lakeridge Oaks Subdivision Project), will be addressed at the Planning
Commission level as part of that project.
Eric Carlson, with Sharrah Dunlap Sawyer, representing the applicant, urged support for the
project.
Mayor Dickerson determined that no other individual wished to address this matter and
closed the public hearing.
Council Member Bosetti expressed reluctance to move forward with the project because the
Planning Commission did not have benefit of this testimony when considering the entire
project which may have affected its recommendations.
I
MOTION: Made by Council Member Murray, seconded by Council Member Jones, 1)

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - Allocation of$1 Million Mitigation Fee (Lowe's affordable
housing mitigation)
(L-OIO-005)
City Manager Starman recalled that the Lowe's entitlement process for their new store at
1200 Cypress Avenue included a mitigation amount for affordable housing of $1 million.
In 2006, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RPF) to receive potential plans for use of
the funds for affordable housing in the City, and 18 proposals were received. These
proposals were reviewed by the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) and
while two (Habitat for Humanity and Providence International Foundation), were considered
by the City Council, both proposals failed to come to fruition.
Mr. Starman recommended that the City Council direct staff to issue a new RFP to solicit
additional creative ideas for use of the $1 million for affordable housing projects.
John Truitt and Jim Knoenigsaecher recommended that the funds be allocated to the
Downpayment Assistance Program (DAP) currently administered by the City's Housing
Division. Mr. Truitt also suggested that the money could be sustainable through repayment,
and he urged that the funds be used in the Downtown Specific Plan area.
Council Member Stegall favored programs that maximize use of the funds over one-time
capital projects. She believed that not all service organizations were made aware that
discussions relative to the use of the funds would be held this evening. She supported
issuance of a new RFP and added that staff should include a trust fund to keep the money
working for affordable housing.
I
MOTION: Made by Council Member Stegall, seconded by Council Member Murray,
directing staff prepare and circulate a new Request for Proposal to solicit creative ideas for
use of $1 million for affordable housing projects, without a time limit, and using the
Community Development Advisory Commitee to review the proposals and make
recommendation to the City Council for consideration. The Vote: Unanimous ayes

Mr. Hamilton stated that General Plan Amendment GP A-9-06 will be modified pursuant to
City Council concerns regarding notification and will exclude the property west of the
Lakeridge Cottages project site and include the property located at 11106 and 11075
Campers Court (Lakeside Cottages Subdivision Planned Development).
Mr. Hamilton recommended that a resolution be adopted approving GP A-7-03, GP A-3-04,
and GP A-9-06 amending the General Plan Diagram to incorporate these changes.
Council Member Jones stated while he supported the Lakeridge Cottages Project, he did not
support the Westridge Master Plan and therefore would vote no on the resolution which
included both projects.

of Unit #6 at the Redding Power Plant
(E-120-150-676)
Electric Utility Director Feider related that by the summer of20 11, Redding Electric Utility
(REU) will begin to experience shortfalls in its electric resource portfolio. REU staff is
exploring various energy resource options but has also indicated that a local generation
option is needed for the future. In anticipation of this prediction, he recalled that the City
Council approved the necessary permits in May 2006, to construct a second 45-MegaWatt
combined-cycle gas-powered generator at the Redding Power Plant, Generating Unit #6. A
Use Permit was granted by the City's Board of Administrative Review on February 1,2007,
and an Authority to Construct Permit was received from the Shasta County Department of
Resource Management that same month. REU has received all necessary discretionary
permits for construction and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process is
complete.
Mr. Feider stated that Generating Unit #6 will take three years to construct and the estimated
cost is $62 million including a contingency fund. He stated that it is proposed to utilize tax-
exempt bonds that would mature in 30 years.
Mr. Feider recommended that a resolution be adopted authorizing solicitation of bids and
pre-financing activity for construction of Generating Unit #6 at the Redding Power Plant and
declaration of intent to reimburse certain expenditures from proceeds of indebtedness.
