I. INTRODUCTION I'I
A. PURPOSE AND CONTENT OF THE LAND USE ELEMENT
The purpose of the Land Use Element is to establish a framework to direct the
physical development of the City. The Land Use Element is the primary vehicle
ensuring the logical organization of the various land uses and encouraging timely
provision of public facilities to meet the needs of the Redding Planning Area.
The Land Use Element provides a basic understanding of long-term intentions of
the City to both public decision-makers and private citizens. As a result, both f
public and private land use decisions made daily can be juxtaposed to a stable
overall framework established for the City.
The Land Use Element of the Redding General Plan is a comprehensive
statement of the City's development and land use goals and policies. It depicts
in written and graphic form the City's intentions for development,
redevelopment, growth, and use of public and private properties within the
Redding Planning Area through the year 2010. All land use planning decisions
made for the City of Redding must be consistent with the stated goals and
policies of this document.
The Land Use Element contains goals, policies, implementation measures, and
a diagram indicating the planned location, amount, and intensity of residential,
commercial, industrial, public and open-space lands. The land use goals and
policies need to be considered together with the Land Use Diagram to assess the
City's intentions for future development and conservation within the community.
The Land Use Diagram implements the goals and policies contained throughout
the General Plan and is incorporated herein by reference. The Land Use Diagram
is a series of detailed maps. Copies of these maps are available in the
Department of Planning and Community Development.
The Land Use Element should be consulted by property owners, developers and
public officials before preparing applications for consideration by the City. This
Element should be referred to when making business, public facility or residential
location decisions where the location and nature of future land uses are needed.
Whenever community issues affecting land use are being discussed, it is
appropriate to refer to the text and Land Use Diagrams of the General Plan.
B. AUTHORITY FOR THE LAND USE ELEMENT
The General Plan derives its authority from California Government Code Section
65300 et seq., which requires each city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term, "
General Plan for the physical development of the area within its jurisdiction and
any land outside its boundaries which is within its Planning Area. Figure 1 ,
depicts the City's 1991 corporate boundary, the City's Planning Area, and the
current Sphere of Influence.

Government Code Section 65302 [a] requires that the Land Use Element
designate the proposed general distribution and general location of housing,
business, industry, open space (including agriculture, cultural resources,
recreation, and enjoyment of scenic beauty), education, public buildings and
grounds, solid- and liquid-waste disposal facilities, and other categories of public
and private uses of land.
C. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS AND OTHER PLANNING
DOCUMENTS
I
The Land Use Element is one of seven mandatory and two optional elements
which comprise the Redding General Plan. The other eight General Plan
Elements are: Circulation, Housing, Noise, Safety, Seismic, Conservation and
Open Space, Scenic Highways, and Recreation. Together, these Elements
constitute an integrated set of goals, policies and action programs which
address land use planning within the City's Sphere of Influence and the Redding
Planning Area.
The policies contained in the Land Use Element are consistent with policies in
the other Elements of the General Plan. These policies are purposefully general
to guide interpretation of the Land Use Diagram definitions.
As stated, the scope and content of this Element is largely governed by General
Plan Law and Guidelines and the Planning, Zoning and Development Laws of the
State of California. There are a number of other plans and programs to consider
in the formulation of land use policy; they include:
Area and Specific Plans
Land use policies contained in this Element call for the preparation and
implementation of area or specific plans for certain portions of the Planning
Area. These plans are extensions of the Land Use Element and are used to
apply policies and standards of each of the General Plan Elements to a specific
geographic area. Specific and Area Plans are consistent with the General Plan,
but contain more detailed policy direction than the General Plan in order to focus
on the uniqueness of different geographic areas. They are extremely useful
because they can be used to directly involve the residents of an area in shaping
their own community or neighborhood.
The City of Redding has adopted 16 Area Plans and one Specific Plan within
the City's Planning Area, as depicted in Figure 2, Area and Specific Plans Map.
Over 46,000 acres, or 75 percent of the Planning Area, is contained within a
Specific or Area Plan. Over the next ten years, the City will be consolidating
some of the area plans, updating others, and preparing several new ones as a
result of annexations.
I
3
i
I
The Land Use Element lists all of the land use designations employed in the City.
These same designations are used in the Area and Specific Plans. Occasionally,
circumstances applicable to a particular situation may warrant a slightly different
description or additional refinement of a designation. Such refinements are
described in individual Area or Specific Plans. When there is a conflict between
an Area or Specific Plan and the General Plan, the more restrictive policy shall
apply.
Table 1 lists the Area Plans and the Specific Plans which have been adopted to
date, including size of the area and the year adopted.
Areas within the Sphere of Influence but not covered by the Redding General
Plan shall utilize the County General Plan to determine the land use, using the
closest equivalent City General Plan classification.
Figure 3 illustrates the Area Plans which are intended to evolve over the next
twenty years. It will be the goal of the City to use these areas which are related
by natural boundary, transportation corridor, neighborhood identify, public
facility or topography as a foundation for planning and an update process.
See Implementation Program Section VII (Programs 3 & 23) for General Plan and
Area Plans update schedules.
.I Zoning Ordinance
The Zoning Ordinance and its graphic depiction, the City's zoning maps, are the
j primary implementation mechanisms for the Land Use Element and the goals and
i policies contained herein. For this reason, it is important that the Zoning Maps
be consistent with the Land Use Diagram contained in the General Plan. The
land use designations contained in this element and the boundaries of each
category included correspond to one or more zoning districts identified on the
Zoning Maps. See Implementation Program Section VII.A.1 for further
information regarding the Zoning Ordinance.
Redevelopment Plans and Programs
I{
A number of policies contained in the Land Use Element call for utilizing
redevelopment as a means to revitalize and rehabilitate a number of areas within
the City. State and Federal law provides for the preparation, adoption and
administration of redevelopment plans. Redevelopment plans must be
consistent with the City's adopted General Plan. The Land Use Element
provides the basis for future redevelopment activity in the City. Figure 4
illustrates the current redevelopment project areas within the City of Redding.

II. BACKGROUND FOR PLANNING
A. THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
The Redding Planning Area occupies the northern tip of the Sacramento Valley
where the Sacramento River emerges from the mountains to begin its course to
the ocean. Flat, fertile bottom lands along the River are flanked by higher, rolling
table land which graduates into the foothills of the mountain rim that surrounds
Redding on the west, north and east.
Elevations in the Planning Area range from 400 feet in the lowlands adjoining the
River to over 1,200 feet on the hilltops in the western and northern part of the
Planning Area. East of the River, the terrain is generally flat, and is broken only
by the courses of Churn, Clover, and Stillwater Creeks. The higher terrain along
the western edge of the Planning Area is intersected by local creeks that have
carved deep ravines and lesser gullies, ranging in depth from a few feet to 200
feet.
The physical environment is accented by a moderate climate with warm summers
and mild winters. Summer temperatures rise above 100 degrees on an average
of 37 days per year. In winter, temperatures fall below freezing an average of
27 days per year from November through March. It is during this same time that
the Planning Area receives two-thirds of the area's annual rainfall, which
averages approximately 38 inches. Clear weather is predominate for about 200
days each year.
B. URBAN SETTING
The City of Redding is located within Shasta County in Northern California. It lies I
approximately 100 miles south of the Oregon border on Interstate 5 and 160 j
miles north of Sacramento, as depicted in Figure 5. Geographically, the
Sacramento River bisects Redding at the northern end of the Sacramento Valley.
Redding is the largest population center in Shasta County with approximately
70,000 persons and is also the County seat.
i
The Redding metropolitan area enjoys a strategic market location among the
Pacific Coast states of California, Oregon and Washington. United States
Interstate Highway 5 is the major transportation artery running north and south
from Mexico to Canada and connects Redding to an estimated Pacific Coast
market of 31 million people. Redding lies equidistant (approximately 600 miles)
between Los Angeles and Seattle. Redding is also a crossroad with major east-
west State highways connecting major Northern California cities and connecting
the area with Nevada.
The outdoor lifestyle and environmental amenities have attracted a large, highly
skilled labor force to the Redding area. Compared to other communities of similar
size, Redding is favored by a positive business climate, low-cost electric power,
affordable housing, a low crime rate, and availability of all necessary urban
9
I
i
services such as sewer, water, waste disposal, police, fire, schools and parks.
!I Additionally, the City of Redding provides electrical utilities, animal control,
airports, a science museum, Convention Center, Visitors and Convention Bureau,
Housing Authority, Redevelopment Agency, an art center, and recreational
programs.
C. PLANNING BOUNDARIES
The Redding Planning Area extends beyond the City limits and comprises
approximately 70,400 acres, or a little over 1 10-square-miles, within which the
City designates the future use of land. Land uses are designated on the General
' Plan Land Use Diagram for the entire Planning Area even though much of this
land is unincorporated and lies within the jurisdictional authority of Shasta
! County. (Refer to Figure 1 , City of Redding Planning Area.)
Following closely the boundaries of the Planning Area with only a slight deviation
at the southeast end, is the Redding Sphere of Influence, a 100-square-mile
(64,000-acre) area adopted by the Shasta County Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO) in 1988 as the area to which City services and the City
'! boundary can logically be extended within the next 20 to 30 years. The Sphere
of Influence contains both incorporated and unincorporated lands. The
incorporated City limits in January 1991 contain 52.8 square miles over which
Redding exercises zoning control and police powers and provides most public
services.
"Sphere of Influence" is a term used to identify those areas which are likely to
become a part of the City someday. By State statute, a sphere of influence is "a
plan for the probable ultimate physical boundaries and service area of a local
governmental agency." From an intergovernmental standpoint, a sphere of
influence indicates to public agencies who is expected to provide services to a
given area. In some instances it may be only the City, while in others it may be
the City and a special district.
Spheres are developed taking into consideration present and projected uses of an
area, present and probable need for services, and capacity and ranges of services
provided. From the City's perspective, a sphere should accomplish the following
objectives:
1. Provide land for City growth.
2. Reserve land for future urban needs.
3. Minimize conflict with other jurisdictions.
4. Promote cost-effective extension of services.
5. Encourage coordination of plans and services between jurisdictions.
6. Minimize "turf" as a planning issue.
7. Be stable enough to allow a commitment of resources.
8. Protect significant investments.

In terms of planning, many public facilities and streets will have 40 to 50 and in
some cases, longer life cycles. Conversely, a general plan typically only looks at
the next twenty years of growth. While the land use plan may be a short-term
document, the City, and the improvements constructed by its citizens, and the
continuing growth will last much longer than the plan.
1 The City of Redding nearly doubled in size during the last decade and the rate of
expansion for the future is not expected to diminish.
The physical size of Redding will be a result of several factors, including:
1 . City and other agency's policies regarding annexation, growth versus no
growth, economic development and availability of services outside the City.
2. Electrical-cost differential between the City and PG&E rates and where
power lines are extended.
3. Availability of sewage facilities and where sewer lines are extended.
J 4. Density or intensity of development.
5. Land-use policies of Shasta County and the Local Agency Formation
Commission and competition from other jurisdictions.
6. Land withheld from development.
7. Road networks and public transportation systems.
8. Water availability.
Most of the land annexing to Redding will be vacant or semirural. Annexations
are expected to occur in all directions, although annexations to the east and
northeast should be larger in size and occur more often than annexations in other
directions, due to topography and lot configurations.
Table 2 illustrates the past size and the future area of the City. Figure 6 depicts
the location of future annexations over the next 20 years.
D. POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS AND PROJECTIONS
In a 1990 study of U. S. Metropolitan Areas by Woods and Poole Economics
(based in Washington, DC), the Redding metropolitan area was noted as being
among the nation's 50 fastest growing areas. The January 1991 population
figures published by the State Department of Finance established Redding's
incorporated population to be 70,000. This is a 66 percent increase over the
1980 population. By the year 2000, Redding's population is expected to be
about 100,000, which is a 42.8 percent increase over the 1990 population.
12
i
i
i
In 1990 the City contracted with Economic Sciences Corporation of Berkeley,
California, to forecast the City's future population growth. Table 3 is the result
of the forecast which predicts that Redding's population in 2010 will grow to
over. 135,000 persons--almost double the present population; and growth will
continue.
According to the Federal Census, the County's April 1990 population was
147,036. The ten-year growth rate for the entire County has been about 2.7
percent per year, while in the unincorporated area the annual ten-year growth
rate has been 1 .8 percent. Table 4 illustrates the projected County's growth
through 2005.
I
For more detailed information regarding the area's population and the main
subgroups which comprise the population, the General Plan Housing Element
should be consulted.
E. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND PROJECTIONS
The City of Redding is located within the Shasta County Labor Market Area
which contains a total labor force of 61 ,525 as of June 1991 (based on statistics
compiled by the State Employment Development Department).
Employment rates for Shasta County residents are steadily increasing in both
salary and wage sectors. The County's two largest employment segments
continue to be government and trade, which together employed 40 percent of the
work force in 1986. Steady gains in the service industry have made it the third
leading employment sector. Increases in nonagricultural employment are primarily
in retail trade, medical services, tourism, recreation, finance, insurance, real
estate, transportation, communications and utilities. These people-oriented jobs i
are less subject to monthly fluctuations in contrast to jobs in natural-resources
extraction. Table 5 gives an historical picture of the area's changing labor market
and projects labor market composition into 1993. The State's projections have
not kept pace with the rapid growth of the area. In 1991 , the actual size of the
labor force exceeded by 12% the 1993 projection.
I
As the regional market and government center for Federal, State and local
agencies serving an area approximately the size of South Carolina, the Redding
Area is a logical location for services and trade sectors of the economy.
I
The Redding labor market has high productivity with low worker turnover or
absenteeism. Due to the seasonal nature of some established industries and the
rapid growth in the general population throughout the 1980s, Redding has an
abundant labor force available to present and future employers. Wage rates for
most occupations are generally below the State average, making it attractive to
investors and businesses that may choose to relocate from other urban areas.
This employment potential, coupled with inexpensive energy and positive
development policies, will continue to stimulate economic growth in the Redding
Planning Area.

F. DIRECTION OF GROWTH
At present, most growth is occurring in the areas tributary to Churn Creek Sewer
Trunk Line with scattered infilling elsewhere. After the new sewage-treatment
plant is completed in early 1992 south of the Municipal Airport, growth will occur
along the Clover Creek drainage area in addition to the Churn Creek area. The
plant has the capacity to serve 1 ,000 acres of planned industrial area around the
Redding Municipal Airport and additional capacity will be created on the west side
of the community. After the year 1995, it is expected that urbanization will
begin occurring east of Stillwater Creek. Figure 7 is a visual representation of the
anticipated direction of growth in all land use categories.
Factors influencing location and decision on where urbanization will occur include
transportation planning, environmental impact issues, and the cost of land with
utilities and good access versus the cost of extending utilities and roads to land
on the urban fringe. Additionally, City and County policies will influence the
direction of growth.
To the west and northwest, scattered development is expected to occur at
slightly lower densities due to the effect of steep slopes and potential flooding
along watercourses. The exception could be along Clear Creek Road if sewer
trunk and water lines are extended to the west and property owners wish to
create smaller parcels.
i
Significant increases in the amount of commercial land are not expected in the
next 15 years; however, both redevelopment and infilling of existing areas will
occur as the population increases. There are likely to be several neighborhood
centers constructed in different parts of the City. Also, based on recent
development requests, there may be additional motel construction during this
period. An additional boost to commercial and industrial development will be the
City's recent designation as a State Enterprise Zone. This designation carries a
term of 15 years and has tremendous potential to influence the growth of
industrial/commercial interest in the area. The Shasta Metro Enterprise Zone
itself stretches the entire length of the Planning Area and covers 50 square miles.
It is comprised of portions of the cities of Anderson and Redding and Shasta
County. Of the total land area, over 28 square miles or nearly 57 percent is
within the City of Redding. Businesses already located within this zone or
establishing in the zone will be eligible for a variety of State and local financial
and development incentives.

III. PLANNING FOR GROWTH
A. POPULATION HOLDING CAPACITY OF THE GENERAL PLAN
Redding's General Plan constitutes a holding capacity for the City's various land
uses. A potential population of over 216,000 persons can be accommodated in
Redding's current General Plan area, based on the amount of land presently
devoted to the various residential categories. As fringe areas outside the City
limits urbanize, the holding capacity will increase because either urban densities
are raised or the Planning Area is expanded.
Essentially, what the City of Redding tries to provide is a 100-percent over supply
of land at any given time in each land use category. The reasons behind
establishing a holding capacity in excess of current land needs are:
1 . Permit movement within the market place of locations for development.
2. Avoid lack of land availability, which would raise land prices and
subsequently affect housing affordability.
.,' 3. Develop a street system that is workable for the next 30 to 50 years.
i
J 4. Offset land withheld from development for one reason or another.
5. Allow people to predict changes in land use patterns that will occur in the
j future.
6. Allow utilities to size their lines and program their capacity requirements.
7. Try to minimize future costs of having to upgrade infrastructure systems or
structures because of lack of foresight.
8. Reserve land for future urbanization.
Table Al in the Appendix identifies the gross acres devoted to each residential
General Plan classification within the Redding Planning Area and quantifies the
amount of land within each category which remains to be developed. Virtually
one-half of the Planning Area is devoted to residential uses. The table also
'! identifies potential dwelling units and population (using population factors based
on a combination of 1980 census material, City utility records, and State
Department of Finance figures). The table will be updated at least annually to
continue to reflect an accurate inventory of developable residential land within
the Planning Area.
i,
20
i
In addition to the lands within the City presently available for residential
development, City staff estimates that as much as 30 square miles could be
annexed to the City over the next ten years (See Section IIC). The majority of
this land is presently classified as "Residential 3.0 units per acre," or lower
density on the General Plan.
Land absorption for Redding since 1988 indicates that approximately 640 acres
or about one square mile is used by new development each year. Of this, about
400 acres is consumed by residential use. The remainder is used for commercial,
industrial, public, or quasi-public uses. Presently, there are about 28 square miles
developed in the City. Another 16 square miles inside the City is unusable
because it is too steep, subject to flooding, or held in public ownership. This
leaves about 10 square miles to be developed. At the rate of land absorption
over the last 8 years, the vacant land within the City would be utilized in about
14 years; however, the current Sphere of Influence will provide about 30 years
of room for growth.
B. INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SPACE NEEDS
According to a Land Use Survey conducted by Planning staff during the summer
of 1991 within the Planning Area, approximately 995 acres are now in service
commercial use, and another 2,213 acres are in industrial use. The distinction
between uses of a service commercial nature and industry is a fine line, and is
more a concern of zoning ordinances and employment classifications than a
distinction with any significance for long-range planning purposes. It is quite
acceptable, for example, for a service commercial use such as a wholesale
distributing firm or a repair service to locate in most industrial areas. Table A2
in the Appendix is an inventory of land designated Industrial or Commercial within
the Planning Area by developed and undeveloped acreage. This inventory will be
updated on an annual basis to continue to reflect accurately the amount of
developable Industrial/Commercial land within the Planning Area.
There are currently three developed industrial parks inside the City of Redding I'
with available sites. Mountain Lakes Industrial Park consists of 530 acres and
has all improvements including a rail-spur track. Since its creation in 1970, the
Mountain Lakes Industrial Park has absorbed 20 acres of industrial use each year.
Peterson Industrial Park consists of 40 acres with full improvements. Scarbrough
Industrial Park in South Redding has ten acres of improvements. This pocket
industrial park is in close proximity to rail spurs and a variety of lumber and
wood-fabricating businesses.
Of all the industrial areas, the Redding Municipal Airport provides the largest
concentration of potential planned-industrial sites, which includes 1,105 acres of
planned improvements. The potential for aviation/airport-oriented industries is
high, particularly with sewers being available early in 1992.
I
21
l
�I
it
The Municipal Airport property is five to ten minutes from Interstate 5 and
II Highway 44. All utilities are available, including City electric, PG&E gas, and a
12-inch water main on site. The City is constructing an extended 36-inch sewer
trunk line to the Airport to be operating in 1992. The Airport site has many built-
in advantages, including a buffer from residential areas, compatible industrial and
commercial companies, and close proximity to transportation routes.
The City of Redding has adopted a program for the development of a 97-acre
industrial site on the Municipal Airport itself. The engineered plans call for the
incremental construction of a 46-lot industrial and commercial park located on the
west side of Airport Road, opposite the Airport. Access to each lot is from
interconnected cul-de-sacs to a frontage road along Airport Road. Most of the
lots are being marketed for industrial or office uses with the exception of two
!� highway/commercial lots that are anticipated to be used as hotel/motel sites or
,i related services that would serve the Airport.
'I Assuming industrial and commercial service land needs were to increase in
proportion to projected Planning Area population growth,the net land requirement
would be 4,677 acres in the year 2000 (+45.8%), and 6,192 acres in 2010
( +32.4%). Allowing a 15 percent additional area for streets would result in
gross acreage needs of 5,378 acres and 7,120 acres, respectively. Table 5
(Page 18) is a forecast by the State Employment Development Department (EDD)
of the growth of wage and salary employment by industry category through
1993 for the greater Redding area. EDD relies primarily upon historical data for
its projections and does not take into consideration actions or policies
implemented by a community which would extraordinarily accelerate the growth
rate of a particular industrial category. It is possible that due to the City's many
economic development activities including trade show participation, State
Enterprise Zone designation, sponsorship of economic development activities by
several local trade groups, economic incentives, and redevelopment of blighted
or under-used existing commercial areas, that unprecedented growth will occur
over the planning period in the manufacturing and service-commercial industry
areas.
If land needs were to increase in proportion to EDD's projection of employment
in industrial and commercial service area (assumed as total contract construction
employment, one half of transportation, communication and utilities employment,
one-fifth of wholesale and retail employment, and one-fifth of service
employment projections), the net land requirement would be 2,671 acres by
1993. Fifteen percent additional area added for streets would give gross acreage
requirements of 3,071 acres.
Currently within the Planning Area there are 4,353 acres designated "Industrial"
and 1 ,295 acres designated "Service-Commercial." Of these, approximately
2,140 Industrial acres and 300 acres of Service Commercial designated land
remain available to be developed.
22
It is not anticipated that there will be a significant need during the planning period
for further land to be designated for industrial use even taking into consideration
the strong influences of the community's economic development activities. The
relative availability of developable land is expected to remain one of the area's
strongest attractions for industry.
C. RETAIL AND OFFICE SPACE NEEDS
i
The Planning Area now has approximately 467 gross acres designated for office
and personal service uses, and another 1 ,652 gross acres for retail uses,
including the Highway-Commercial designation. Of these, approximately 1,334
acres (63%) have been developed. Because Redding's strong office and retailing
role is projected to continue, an increase of developed office and retail acreage
in line with the projected population increase is likely over the planning period.
Improved sales performance per square foot in the larger stores and in shopping
centers that otherwise might reduce site needs will be balanced by site
development standards calling for more parking and landscaping. An increase in
pace with population growth would raise the year 2000 gross acreage need to
around 1,945 acres; the year 2010 requirement would be about 2,575 gross
acres.
I
D. PUBLIC FACILITIES AND UTILITIES
j
Schools
The Redding Planning Area historically has been served by two high school and
10 elementary school districts, several of which are only partially located within
the Area (see Figure 7a). In June 1991, voters from two elementary districts
located partially in the northern part of the Area voted to unify along with the
northernmost high school of the Area. This action, which in all likelihood will be
considered and possibly repeated among other districts within the Planning Area
over the next 10 years, serves to consolidate expensive resources and to broaden
the voter base served by a district. School facilities within the Planning Area are
being stretched to full capacity due to the steady growth of the urban area.
Table 6 lists schools in the Planning Area, and indicates site area and 1990
attendance. There are approximately 9,668 public school students in grades
kindergarten through eight, and another 3,838 in secondary schools. Private
schools accommodate an estimated 1,234 students, almost all of whom are in
elementary grades. By the year 2000 the student population for the City of
Redding alone is expected to increase to about 15,400 in grades K-8 and 7,290
in grades 9-12, including private school students.
Overall, the estimated ratio of public school students in grades K-12 per dwelling
unit is .47 for all of Shasta County and .51 within the City of Redding corporate
boundaries. Individual ratios within school districts may vary widely as newer
more developed areas tend to support higher student populations per household
than do older or more rural neighborhoods.
i
23
I
;I
As mentioned previously, unification will continue to be a widely debated subject
within school districts over the next ten years. The most likely candidates for a
variety of unification efforts are the large elementary school districts within the
City (Redding and Enterprise), several of the smaller districts on the edges of the
Planning Area as well as the high school district.
Faced with growing demand upon the limited existing school facilities, many
districts in the Planning Area are also looking at other solutions to the
overcrowding issue. Among the alternatives being considered are extended hours
and year-round school operation. To date, limited space problems have been met
{ by shuffling grade levels between facilities and enhancing existing building
j capacities with temporary classrooms. These solutions are limited by existing
campus area and many districts have reached full capacity.
t
!� Short of extendingeither the school day or the school
year to accommodate
growing student populations, several districts have new facilities under
construction or in the planning stages.
d
Enterprise Elementary School District with 6 existing facilities is under
construction with its new Boulder Creek K-5 facility. Boulder Creek is expected
to have a capacity of 650 students and will open in the Fall of 1993. Enterprise
is also planning a second middle school facility (6-8) will be constructed in the
next 5-10 years. This facility tentatively to be located in the eastern part of the
District, and will have the capacity of approximately 1200 students. Pacheco
,j Union School District, serving parts of Enterprise and the Churn Creek bottom
area currently operates 2 facilities. One is a K-3 site and the other is 4-8. Due
to the large amount of residential development which is anticipated to occur in
the District over the next 5-10 years, District officials are planning for two new
sites, one to be a K-5 facility and one 6-8.
The newly formed unified district, Gateway Unified District, draws a portion of
its students from the northern edge of the Planning Area. The unification
consolidated the former Buckeye School District and the Shasta Lake Union
!� School District, and removed Central Valley High School from the Shasta Union
High School District. Out of a combined total 1990 student population of 3,660,
approximately 30% (1 ,190) reside in the Planning Area. The school districts
which unified had all been at or near capacity for several years. Both Buckeye
School District and Shasta Lake Union School District had identified a need for
two new school sites each within the next five years. At this early stage, the
newly formed District anticipates developing a new K-8 site within the next 3-5
years, and another site within 5 - 10 years, both in the southern part of the
newly formed District, in all likelihood within the Planning Area.

I'
Shasta Union High School District which oversees five high school facilities,
recently restructured each of these to accommodate grades 9-12 rather than 10-
12. Starting in Fall 1991, this will allow the former ninth grade center site to
temporarily house a new full high school, Foothill High, while its permanent site
is being developed. The Foothill High site located in Palo Cedro, to the east of
the Planning Area, will draw students from the rural areas in the eastern part of
the County alleviating pressure on the at-capacity Enterprise High site. It is
anticipated that the new facility will be open in Fall 1993. In addition, District
officials feel there will be a need for an additional new high school on the west
side of the Planning Area within the next 5-10 years.
The largest elementary school district within the Redding Planning Area, the
Redding Elementary School District, currently with seven existing schools,
anticipates the need for one new elementary school in the next 3 -5 years, as
well as a site for a second school. The City is considering land for a school site
within the Benton Ranch property, although the exact location is not known.
On the eastern edge of the Planning Area, Columbia School District draws
approximately 25% of its students from the area. The District has projected a
need for at least one elementary school site within the next 3 - 5 years.
In addition to elementary and secondary schools, the Planning Area is served by
two institutes of higher education, Shasta College and Simpson College.
Shasta College, a two-year community college, is located northeast of Redding
on a 339 acre campus. The institution has day, evening and outreach courses
currently serving 12,500 students (5,500 day students and 7,500
evening/outreach students).
In 1989, Simpson College, a private four-year, fully accredited liberal-arts college
relocated from San Francisco to the Redding area. The campus, located on a 60-
acre site northeast of Redding, is undergoing an aggressive phased development.
Within the next four years, Simpson College will have facilities to accommodate
800 to 1,000 graduate and under-graduate students. The four-year university
currently has day and evening courses serving 450 students.
Public Buildings
Redding will face several challenging decisions during the next planning period
regarding the adequacy of its existing public buildings. The City has reached a
point where it has literally grown out of the existing City Hall. Following
thorough analysis of all options, the City Council determined that a new Civic
Center Complex (including City administrative offices, police services facilities,
and Council Chambers) would best be built in the general area of the existing
facility. The existing City Hall, including the corporation yard, occupies
approximately 15 acres. The City owns an additional 29 acres within the central
area between Cypress Avenue and Parkview Avenue making it a logical site for
the phased construction of a public facilities complex.
I
I
27
'i
d -
N -'
The proposed complex will have the capacity to better serve the public with
increased efficiency through a consolidated location and modern building design.
The plan includes the relocation of the existing City corporation yard north of
Highway 44 to the Viking Road Area. The new corporation yard location will help
ensure that City crews are able to meet the increasing demands of a fast growing
City. As currently planned, the yard will house the operations of the Public
Works, Electric, Recreation and Parks and General Services departments.
Although a firm timeline for the construction of the proposed Civic Center
Complex has yet to be finalized, design work was initiated in 1990. Construction
is not expected to begin until at least 1993 on the new corporation yard facility.
I
Other activities involving the community's public buildings during the planning
n period will include a proposed expansion of the Civic Auditorium-Convention and
Trade Center at Turtle Bay. The City relies heavily on this multi-purpose facility
'I to host trade shows, conventions, sporting events and major cultural entertain-
ment. Expansion of the existing facility at its present location will shortly be
necessary in order to remain competitive in the convention market.
'I In addition, the Redding Fire Department is currently analyzing the need for three
future fire stations that will allow the department to continue its high level of
service to the citizens of Redding. Development of two of the stations is
contingent upon completion of the annexation process for the Texas Springs area
and the Tierra Oaks area. The third station, to be located on Shasta View Drive
near Hacienda Heights, is scheduled to be constructed during FY '92293.
i
Location of Future Solid and Liquid Waste Facilities
The City of Redding provides all solid waste disposal and waste water services
within the City limits. The City's ability to provide necessary disposal services
contributes to continued urban expansion within the Planning Area. The City
currently relies upon the Clear Creek Treatment Plant for all of its wastewater
treatment needs. The current facility has the capacity to process 8.8 million
gallons of wastewater each day. It is anticipated that during the next 5-10 years
as further development occurs on the west side of the Planning Area, the
capacity of this plant will be expanded to handle 12 million gallons each day.
A second wastewater facility designed to serve the needs of the eastern portion
of the City including the vital industrial land near the Municipal Airport, is the
Stillwater Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is on a site located south
of Redding Municipal Airport. The facility is expected to be in operation in early
1992. It is estimated that the plant will be able to treat about 4 million gallons
of wastewater each day when in full operation. It also is anticipated to be
expanded to process 6 million gallons per day as further development occurs in
the Planning Area over the next 8 - 10 years.
I
28
i
The City is currently in the process of selecting a new site for a solid waste
transfer station. An EIR for the project has been certified by the Planning
Commission which narrows the potential of six original sites down to two. One
possible site is located in the southwest area of the City between Breslauer Road
and Wyndham Lane. A second potential site is located on the northeast side of
the City on Abernathy Lane.
In January 1990 the City closed its only landfill site, the Benton Landfill.
Currently, the City is sharing a landfill facility located in the western part of
Shasta County near the community of Igo. This facility is not expected to reach
capacity for at least another 30 years, however, the City is in the process of
determining an appropriate landfill site within the Planning Area. A possible site
has been identified in southwest Redding in the Oregon Gulch area. It is not
anticipated that this site will become an operating landfill during the planning
period. Figure 8 illustrates the location of the three potential transfer station sites
and the potential land fill site.
E. OPEN SPACE AND RECREATIONAL NEEDS
The current public park system in the Redding area contains 48 park sites and 78
open space areas. A majority of the existing park sites in the Redding area are
at least partially developed. Out of the 1,673.8 acres of public recreation land,
263.3 acres (33 sites) are fully developed. Table 7 is an inventory of existing
public park and open space land by type and gross acreage.
The current ratio of acres of both improved and unimproved park land per 1,000
population (does not include open space acreage) in Redding is 13.8. This ratio
is considered above average when compared to other similarly sized communities,
however, the National Recreation and Parks Association, a widely respected
expert on park standards, recommends a ratio of 15-20 as the ideal. The ratio
for improved park land alone is 3.7.
In the spring of 1991, the City of Redding Recreation and Parks Department
commissioned an analysis of recreational needs within the Planning Area in
preparation for development of a comprehensive long-range Park and Recreation
Plan for the City of Redding. The preliminary conclusions of the study were
based upon community workshops, a random recreation survey distributed to
area residents and input from user groups. For a complete understanding of the
methodology and rationale behind the study's recommendations, interested
persons are strongly recommended to read the full report which is expected to
be available late in 1991.

The study's major preliminary recommendations are summarized below. The
recommendations were based upon a variety of factors including resident
response to the recreation survey indicating current demand for facilities, current
trends in recreation interests and participation models. The study identified a
current need for the following additional improved park facilities:
(1) 12 additional neighborhood parks of approximately 5 acres each.
(2) 2 additional community parks of approximately 25 acres each. j
(3) 150 additional acres of large urban park area similar to Caldwell Park.
(4) An additional 125 acres of lineal park (trail systems).
I
(5) An additional 150 acres of Special Use Areas such as mini-parks, sports
fields, etc.
The study identifies the most serious recreational concern facing the Redding area
to be the lack of sufficient neighborhood and community parks. It is possible
over the next planning period that some of 755 acres of currently unimproved
park land held by the City would be developed for this particular use. Much of
this land has not yet been identified for a specific use. Table 8 lists the land
currently held by the City which has been designated for unspecified park use.
In addition to park lands, the study analyzed the current and future need for open
space land. Open space land differs from park land in several important areas.
Land identified as general open space typically includes undefined natural areas
such as stream corridors, easements, steep hillsides or wetlands. Often they are
part of an environmentally sensitive area or wildlife habitat--development, if any,
is usually limited to trails. In the Planning Area, a relatively large amount of land
is currently devoted to open space. As stated previously, this use represents
more than 78 sites and over 649 acres of land. Most open space land is
undevelopable as steep hillsides, wetlands, or environmentally sensitive areas.
The dedication of this type of land is a requirement exacted during the
development permit process. Further open space land will be set aside as
additional development occurs.
According to the commissioned study, the ratio of acres of open space land per
1000 population in the Planning Area is currently 9.8. It is anticipated that the
amount of open space land will continue to remain more than adequate over the
planning period due to the continued dedication of new areas as a function of the
topography, soils and floodplains in the Redding area.
More information on land use policies regarding park land and open space land
can be found in both the Open Space and Conservation Element and the
Recreation Element of the Redding General Plan.

IV. DESCRIPTION OF LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The City of Redding Land Use Element contains 15 categories of land use. These
categories are:
General Industrial Airport Service
Light Industrial Public or Institutional
Planned Industrial Parks & Golf Course (Improved Open Space)
Service Commercial Greenway
Retail Commercial Urban Reserve
Highway Commercial Agriculture
Office
Office/Residential
Each land use category corresponds to one or more zoning districts contained in the
City's Zoning Ordinance. While the Land Use Element establishes basic criteria and
guidelines for future development, the Zoning Ordinance contains specific
development standards that expand the definition contained in the land use
designations.
The standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance include permitted uses, uses subject
to obtaining a use permit, setback distances from adjacent lots and streets, building
heights, lot coverage, parking requirements, etc.
Table A3 in the Appendix, Redding General Plan Land Use Classifications provides a
description of the total acreage in each land use classification within the City limits
and the Planning Area. This table will be updated periodically to maintain a current
reflection of gross acreage in each land use classification.
The land use categories and their respective locations are delineated on a
comprehensive mapping system called the Land Use Diagram.
The Land Use Diagram is a general guide to land use distribution provided in 800-scale
base atlas format. Although this Diagram is not parcel specific, it provides
consistency with City General Plan goals and policies. Minor adjustments in land use
designations, particularly relative to "Greenway" open-space areas, may be made,
based upon more detail as provided by, for example, a topographic survey. The Land
Use Diagram is incorporated herein by reference since it is comprised of ten 24 x 36-
inch maps. Copies are available for review or purchase in the City of Redding
Department of Planning and Community Development, 760 Parkview Avenue,
Redding, CA 96001. These maps are updated as amendments to the General Plan
occur. All amendments are listed chronologically in the Appendix as Table A4.
i
Following is a description of each of the General Plan land use classifications
identifying the nature, density and intensity of development which is permitted under
each classification and identifying the most appropriate zoning classifications for each
land use type. For simplicity, the "U" Unclassified zoning district is not identified, as
it could be appropriate for all classifications depending upon intended use.
33
I
I
.r � •
A. INDUSTRIAL
The "Industrial" classification incorporates the whole spectrum of manufacturing,
processing and assembly uses, in addition to warehousing and wholesale
commercial uses. There are three "Industrial" classifications: "General
Industrial," "Light Industrial," and "Planned Industrial." The difference between
these classifications is the potential for environmental impacts, the existence of
outdoor operations, the types of buildings and the potential for other uses.
Genera/ Industrial. "General Industrial" includes the majority of manufacturing
uses and wholesale warehouses and storage businesses. Zoning classifications
are either the less-restrictive "M-2," Industrial District, or the more restrictive
"PI," Planned Industrial District. "General Industrial" typically encompasses those
industrial uses characterized by outdoor activities which might generate noise,
odor, glare, vibration, or dust in addition to indoor activities. Site development
and performance standards within this classification would generally be
conditioned by use permit.
Light Industrial. "Light Industrial" includes those uses involved with light
manufacturing, assembly, or fabrication usually occurring within a building and
with few objectionable characteristics relating to sound, odor, vibration, glare or
dust. Zoning classifications are either the "PI," Planned Industrial District, the
"C-3," Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial District; or the "C-6," Limited Service
Commercial District.
Planned Industrial. "Planned Industrial" includes a wide variety of manufacturing,
distribution, processing, and office enterprises that do not have nuisance features
relating to sound, odor, vibration, glare or dust, and that can maintain high
design standards. Retail sales incidental to a non-retail use are to be conditional
uses. Uses fronting on or having access from a major or secondary thoroughfare
or a frontage road should meet higher design standards and should be on larger
i sites than other development in order to ensure the high quality appearance of
the thoroughfares and to minimize the points of traffic conflict. The appropriate
zoning classification for this designation is the "PI" Planned Industrial District.
'! Industrial uses have the greatest potential for creating conflicts with adjoining
land uses and for attracting truck traffic too heavy for local streets. Accordingly,
particular attention must be given to use of this classification to ensure that
conflicts are not created. Uses in this classification shall be required to obtain
a use permit to ensure compatibility with nearby uses, provide a mechanism for
monitoring compliance with conditions of approval, and establishing performance
standards related to the use and its location.
Industrial classifications should be located contiguous with arterial streets to
facilitate truck access. The proximity of railroad tracks, which permits connection
of spurs to local businesses, is also an important consideration.
34
Residential uses are generally not appropriate for this category except for
watchman or owner-occupied businesses for security purposes.
This land use classification is compatible with airport lands and areas adjoining
airport lands provided guidelines in the Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan are
followed.
B. SERVICE COMMERCIAL
i
This classification is intended to provide suitable locations for bulk retail, auto
repair, wholesale, storage yards, and other uses that are not suitable for retail
commercial areas or near residential uses. The uses allowed within this
classification often require screening from adjoining highways or adjacent
residential properties. Access needs for large trucks and other heavy equipment
is a key consideration in the siting of such uses, as is potential noise, odor, dust
or glare.
Residential uses are not appropriate within service commercial areas except for I,
watchman or owner-occupied businesses for security purposes.
The zoning designations which are appropriate for this classification are the "C-
3," Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial District, and the "C-6" Limited Service
Commercial District.
C. RETAIL COMMERCIAL
i
The "Retail Commercial" classification is designed to provide properly located
areas to serve the retail shopping needs of people living in and using the Planning
Area. A hierarchy of shopping areas is possible within this classification,
including regional, community, neighborhood, and central business districts.
Sites shall adhere to the following minimum sizes:
Regional Centers - 40 acres or greater
Community Commercial - 10 to 20 acres
Neighborhood Commercial - 4 to 8 acres
Key criteria for development of these commercial centers are access, which does
not impact nearby residential streets, compatibility with adjoining uses, and an
adequate infrastructure system.
Convenience stores on smaller lots, 30,000 to 40,000 square feet in size, may
be permitted when such development is designated in an area or specific plan
and is situated to serve the needs of nearby residential development.
i
35
Zoning classifications are either the "C-1" Neighborhood Commercial District, the
"C-2" Central Commercial District, or the "C-4" Retail Core Commercial District,
depending upon magnitude, location and market.
Use permits and documentation of commercial demand through market analysis
may be required for community and regional shopping centers.
`l Residences, apartments, dwelling groups, or condominiums are compatible within
this classification in the "C-1 " zoning district by use permit, provided densities
do not exceed 12 units per gross acre.
i
D. HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL
This retail classification is intended to be a refinement of the "Retail Commercial"
'I category to reflect the special commercial needs of the traveling public. Since
Redding is situated in the heart of a major recreational area and is at the
intersection of several highways, there is a higher than normal incidence of
motels, restaurants, service stations, and other tourist-serving accommodations.
These areas are important for the image they create of the community and
require special siting and amenity needs different from other commercial
classifications. These sites are generally located near freeway interchanges and
have good freeway exposure and easy access. Travel trailer parks or commercial
campgrounds are compatible uses within this classification.
.i
Appropriate zoning classifications are either "C-1 " Neighborhood Commercial
District or the "C-2" Central Commercial District.
Residential uses are generally not appropriate within this classification except for
RV or travel trailer parks.
E. OFFICE
!; The "Office" classification provides sites for professional and business offices
and personal-service business with appropriate and compatible accessory uses.
The "Office" classification may also be used for rest homes, convalescent
facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, religious, educational, cultural, recreational,
'.w governmental and public-utility uses, restaurants, mortuaries, and financial
institutions.
The "Office" designation provides a buffer area between commercial and
residential properties, with property-development requirements compatible with
a living environment or adjacent to major employment centers such as
government offices, hospitals, and other similar uses. Development standards
are generally higher than those in other commercial classifications. Zoning
classifications include the "C-O" Office District or the "R-4" Multi-Family
Residential District.
36
j
it
F. OFFICE/RESIDENTIAL
The "Office/Residential" classification acts as a transition zone within commercial
areas or between commercial and residential areas. It is especially suitable for
areas where there is some mixed office and residential use occurring.
When property is used for residential purposes, the density should not exceed 14
dwelling units per gross residential acre. When used for office purposes, the
office development and its accompanying off-street parking should be sited and
arranged to protect the living environment of the adjoining residences. The
appropriate zoning designation is the "R-4" Multi-Family Residential District.
G. AIRPORT SERVICE
This classification includes activities which are typically associated with airports
and airport-related uses as follows:
Those activities involving the sale of aviation services for profit to the general
public including maintenance, storing, and servicing of aircraft; sale of aircraft
parts and accessories; sale of aircraft fuel, lubricants, and propellants; provision !
of aerial-survey photography and mapping services; provision of aerial-taxi and
sightseeing services; operation of nonscheduled and chartered transportation;
etc.
Those activities which involve the maintenance of facilities for the storage and
servicing of the aircraft of an individual, private organization, or corporation,
solely for its own benefit and not for the public.
i
Those activities which may not require direct airfield access such as transient
retail service and lodging uses such as hotels, motels, restaurants, conference
centers, car-rental agencies, lounges and service stations provided all applicable
safety criteria are met.
Areas set aside or used for the operation of aircraft including areas to be
reserved for protection from encroaching obstructions or facilities such as clear
zones, runways and taxiways.
Areas required for airport maintenance or operating services such as fuel storage,
air navigational aids, and hangar and tie-down areas.
Areas encompassing the passenger terminal buildings, automobile parking lots,
service and passenger roads, and portions of aprons adjacent to the terminal
buildings.
Additional uses permitted in this classification include industrial parks,
ranching/farming activities, and golf courses.
i
i
37
i) H. PUBLIC OR INSTITUTIONAL
I This classification is intended for public and quasi-public uses including but not
limited to schools, government offices, government services and facilities, fire
stations, hospitals, cemeteries, wastewater-treatment facilities, airports,
domestic water storage, and landfills.
Careful attention must be given to designating sites to ensure compatibility with
the surrounding areas. The manner in which uses in this classification are
constructed and sited can have a major influence on the image of the City. In
many instances, a buffer zone may be necessary to shield adjoining uses from
adverse effects such as noise, dust, and traffic.
i
All uses within this classification shall be subject to the conditional use-permit
process to ensure compatibility with nearby land uses. The standards applied to
private development shall generally be applied to public development.
All zoning classifications are appropriate depending upon the individual proposed
public use. Public uses can also occur in other General Plan classifications, as
long as the use is compatable to other uses also permitted in the classification.
'I
I. PARKS AND GOLF COURSE (Improved Open Space)
This land use classification provides for both public and private open space. The
primary land uses are improved parks, golf courses, athletic fields and some open
space areas adjacent to improved parks or trails. This classification is acceptable
within airport lands for controlled density uses.
,r
Additional information concerning park land use policies can be found in the
'! Recreation Element of the Redding General Plan.
J. AGRICULTURE
At the present time, this classification is applied primarily to existing, productive
,i crop land along the Sacramento River, and Churn and Stillwater Creeks. Future
application of this classification would be appropriate on parcels at least 30 acres
.i in size which are suitable for crop production and have productive Class I or II
'! soils. This classification may also be applied to forest lands in west and northwest
Redding if intended to be preserved for timber harvesting.
One single-family dwelling per parcel is typically the maximum density permitted;
li however, by use permit, a second dwelling may be constructed.
This classification is compatible within the airport approach zone.
For additional information, refer to the Conservation and Open Space Element of
the Redding General Plan.
38
'I
L
I
K. RESIDENTIAL
The largest single land use category, in terms of land used, is the residential
classification. Ten subclassifications have been created on the basis of density,
using a measurement of dwelling units per gross acre.
I
In all residential classifications, the maximum number of units permitted on any
single parcel is computed by deducting any areas shown on the General Plan Land
Use Diagram as "Greenway," (Steep Slope, or "100-Year Floodplain). The i
remaining area is then multiplied by the density factor shown for the parcel in j
question.
Non-greenway areas that are dedicated to a public agency for streets, park or
school sites, or other public uses are not subtracted from the gross area for the
purposes of computing the maximum number of units permitted on a parcel if the
public agency receiving the dedication does not purchase the property.
I
Within the majority of residential subclassifications, both planned developments
and condominiums may be developed. Planned unit developments may be
developed on 2.0-, 3.0-, 3.5, 6.0-, 9.0-, and 18.0-dwelling-units-per-acre
classifications, provided the proposed development complies with development
standards set under the "PD" Planned Development Zoning District.
Condominiums may be developed in 6.0-, 9.0-, 12.0-, 18.0-, and 24.0-dwelling-
units-per-acre classifications provided that the proposed development complies
with all development standards contained in Chapter 17.50 of the City's Municipal
Code.
Both planned developments and condominiums are eligible to receive density
bonuses if the proposed development is determined in the review process to
exhibit exceptional site planning and design. These bonus units may be up to 20
percent of the base total in planned developments and up to 10 percent of the
base total for condominiums.
State Density Bonus Law also allows for density bonuses of up to 25 percent to
be given to residential projects in certain classifications that make a percentage
of the units in the development available at an affordable price to lower-income
households.
The City supports the development of imaginative, well designed subdivisions at
a reduced cost to the developer and the homeowner through its cluster subdivision
ordinance. Cluster subdivisions are allowed in areas designated 1.0 - 9.0 dwelling
units per acre. These subdivisions are intended for single-family uses only.
Through selective reduced development standards coupled with creative design,
cluster subdivisions are able to provide affordable homeownership opportunities
to the area's residents.
I
Following are descriptions of the residential land use classifications:
i
39
1 _
0.5, 0.2, 0. 1 and 0.05 dwelling units per-gross acre. This single-family density
is used where neither public sewer nor water are available, on hillside areas, or in
� Churn Creek Bottom. Other than in hillside areas, this category should be used in
it order to prevent premature land fragmentation in advance of urban services or
reduction of viable agricultural lands and to preserve larger lots for future
ij urbanization. Zoning classifications would include the "R-1 ," Single-Family
Residential District, or "R-1 " with "A" or "B" Combining Districts.
1.0 dweling unit per gross acre. This is essentially a large single-family-lot
density applied where public sewers are not available and where soil conditions
will allow the use of a septic tank on one-acre parcels. This designation is suitable
for steeper hillside areas and in areas where the City does not plan to extend
sewer service for topographic reasons. It is essentially an urban fringe
classification for use in areas exclusive of greenway and commercial agriculture
in which the one-acre-parcel pattern is prevalent. Zoning classifications would be
the "R-1 " or "R-1 " with "A" or "B" Combining District.
2.0 dwelling units per gross acre. This single-family category is applied where full
urban services are available. Typical lots range from 15,000 to 22,000 square
feet in area. Planned-unit developments may be constructed in this classification.
This density is suitable for areas of 0 to 20 percent slope and in areas where this
lot size pattern is predominant. Zoning classifications would be the "R-1 " or "R-1 "
with "B" Combining District.
3.0 dwelling units per gross acre. This is a single-family residential density with
lots ranging from 9,000 to 12,000 square feet in area. This classification is
intended for conventional single-family subdivision development in areas of 0 to
ii
15 percent slope. Zoning classifications would be the "R-1 " or "R-1 " with "B"
Combining District.
3.5 to 4.0 dwelling units per gross acre. These are single-family residential
densities with lots varying in area from 6,000 to 10,000 square feet. These
densities are suitable for areas of flat to slight slope. Good access is important to
these areas so as not to overburden nearby residential streets. Slopes in this
classification should not exceed 8 percent. Zoning classifications would be "R-1 ,"
`j "R-1 " with "B" Combining District, or the "PD" Planned Development District.
6.0 dwelling units per gross acre. This is a transition classification that can be
developed as small-lot, single-family residential; duplexes; planned-unit
developments;low-density condominiums;low-density multiple-family apartments;
and mobilehome parks in appropriate areas. Full urban services are necessary and
there must be adequate street access. This classification is suitable for areas 0
to 8 percent slope, depending upon the form of development. The minimum lot
size for single-family homes is 6,000 square feet. For duplexes or multiple-family
developments, the average size is approximately 10,000 square feet. Zoning
classifications would be "R-1," "R-1 " with "B" Combining District, "PD," or "R-2"
Duplex Residential District.

;i
9.0 dwelling units per gross acre. This is a low-density, multiple-family
classification suitable for duplexes, apartments, dwelling groups, planned
developments, condominiums or mobilehome parks. Minimum lot sizes for
duplexes and apartments average about 10,000 square feet. Full urban services
must be available, and sites must be in close proximity to a major arterial. Slopes
for smaller lots should be 0 to 5 percent. For projects on lots two to five acres
in size, portions of the property may be slope areas in the 10 to 15 percent range
if shear-wall construction is used. Zoning classifications would be "R-2," "RM-6"
Multiple-Family District, "R-3" Multiple-Family Residential District, or "PD."
12.0 dwelling units per gross acre. This is a multiple-family density for
apartments, dwelling groups, planned developments, and condominiums. The
minimum lot size averages about 10,000 square feet. Full urban services must be
available and sites must be in close proximity to a major arterial. Travel trailer
parks would be allowed if located in close proximity to a major highway. Zoning
designations would be "R-3," "RM-9," or "PD."
18.0 dwelling units per gross acre. This is a high-density, multiple-family
classification suitable for apartments, dwelling groups, condominiums, and
planned-unit developments. This classification requires that sites are located in
close proximity to major arterials, have full urban services available, and must have
minimum lot sizes between 10,000 and 15,000 square feet. Zoning designations
would be "R-3," RM-12," or "PD."
i
24.0 dwelling units per gross acre. This is a high-density, multiple-family
classification suitable for apartments and condominiums in the central core area
where public transportation is available and many shopping and service needs can
be met by walking. The minimum parcel sizes for this classification should be
between 12,000 and 20,000 square feet. Typically, this category would be
utilized for senior citizen or high rise apartments. Zoning designations would be
"R-3," "RM-18" or "RM-24."
L. GREENWAY
i
"Greenway" is natural open space and includes slopes in excess of 20 percent,
and the 100-year floodplains of the Sacramento River, and various creeks and
streams. Land shown as natural open space is predominantly along the
Sacramento River, Churn Creek, Sulphur Creek, Stillwater Creek, and the bluffs,
steep slopes and creeks of west Redding. Because of the inherent dangers to life
and property and irrevocable damage to the natural environment, these natural
land and water areas should not be urbanized or altered. Each of these areas is
identified by using the best available topographic maps and special floodplain
studies prepared by Federal Emergency Management Agency. i
i

I
1 - • A •
These natural areas are an important local resource and serve as places in which
flora or fauna can be maintained in its natural state. In addition, these areas
provide relief from urbanization, reduce siltation from excessive grading, buffer
various land use activities and transportation routes, are an important visual
resource, and can be part of the urban trail system.
,i
Areas in excess of 20 percent slope or subject to flooding by a 100-year flood or
storm event do not carry any residential credit unless an entire parcel is so
designated, in which case, by use permit, 1 .0 dwelling unit per 20 acres may be
permitted.
Areas of wetlands outside floodplains and endangered plants or wildlife and their
buffer zones, may also be designated as permanent open space, however, they
do not lose their density credits. Portions of airport land may also be classified as
"Greenway" in order to prevent damage to life and property and to reduce noise
exposure. Appropriate zoning would be "U" or "UF."
M. URBAN RESERVE
The areas designated as Urban Reserve lie outside of the developed areas where
basic water and sewer service are not available nor expected to be available for
10 or more years. These areas will ultimately be developed with a variety of
urban uses at residential densities greater than 2.0 units per acre; however, they
are considered premature for development within the next 10 to 20 years. These
areas will be preserved in large parcels in order to prevent sprawl, prevent
excessive government costs, allow orderly extension of community services, and
to prevent fragmentation into numerous small parcels without urban services and
necessary infrastructure.
The minimum parcel size for these areas is 10 to 20 acres per dwelling unit.
When it appears that these areas can be economically served by City water and
sewer and other services, the General Plan should be amended to designate
appropriate urban land use classifications. For the interim, 1.0 dwelling unit per
10 to 20 acres could be allowed.
The major concerns of the City are the reservation of land for urban development
I'! in the next 30 to 40 years and having urban development occur within the City,
not just outside City limits. To that end, the City Council in 1988 adopted policies
pertaining to extension of City services outside the City.
N. AREAS NOT COVERED BY THE REDDING GENERAL PLAN THAT ARE WITHIN
THE REDDING SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
Lands which are located within the Redding Sphere of Influence but have no
Redding General Plan land use designation are automatically designated the closest
equivalent City classification to the area's current County land use classification.
However, this would not pre-empt the classification of "Greenway," which would
still apply.

V. PRIMARY LAND USE PLANNING ISSUES
As described in detail in Section II, the City of Redding and its surrounding Planning
Area have experienced major changes over the past decade. The challenge facing
urban planners today is to successfully manage the dynamic forces of growth so that
the city that emerges over the next 20-year planning period is reflective of the
concerns and desires of today's citizens.
It is recognized that new development can be beneficial to a city, however, future
growth must be managed in a sensible and rational manner. Adequate infrastructure
and services must be available to meet any future demand to ensure that the existing
levels of service are maintained. New development should take place in an atmosphere
sensitive to environmental factors including natural habitat issues, cultural and historic
resources, flood hazards, air quality, and topography. In addition, the character and
productivity of existing development should be a serious consideration when planning
future growth.
Placed within the above framework of values, the major land use planning issues facing
the City over the next 20 years are:
1 . Preservation and protection of the area's natural and scenic resources.
2. Preservation and protection of the area's archeological and historic resources.
3. The provision of public services and public facilities to a growing population.
Related issues include maintaining current levels of public services for the
protection of the public health, safety and welfare, such as electric, solid waste, !
water, and sewer services, police and fire protection, as well as educational
opportunities for the area's residents; enhancing the levels of service in these
same areas in step with projected levels of growth; planning for the placement
of strategic public facilities; and adequately addressing traffic circulation
concerns.
4. Effective management of community development by monitoring the supply of
land available for all uses both within the city limits and beyond and, when
necessary, supplementing that supply.
5. Preservation of existing community character, as well as mitigation of the
impact of future development on the community.
6. Respect for the economic and employment opportunities afforded by private
development.

VI. GOALS AND POLICIES
A goal is a direction-setter. It is an ideal future condition, or state related to the
public health, safety, or general welfare toward which planning and planning
implementation measures are directed. A goal is a general expression of community
values.
A policy is a specific statement that guides decision-making. It indicates a clear
commitment of the local legislative body. A policy is based on a General Plan's goals
and objectives as well as the analysis of data and is put into effect by one or more
implementation measures. Consequently, a realistic policy is one that is adopted by
local legislators who are mindful of implementation.
This section describes goals and policies which address the issues listed in Section
IV of this document. The goals and policies and the Land Use Diagram contained in
this Element will serve as the framework for the remaining General Plan Elements.
A number of goals and policies included in these other elements will also supplement
either directly or indirectly, the goals and policies contained in the Land Use Element.
Table 9, Land Use Policy Matrix, identifies those elements containing policies that
correspond with the major issue areas discussed in the Land Use Element. As a
practical application, each development project, private or public, should be reviewed
within the context of all the goals of the entire General Plan. Should a conflict exist
because of the unique characteristics of the property or the project, the Planning
Commission may determine which goal has the greater public interest. It is not the
intent of the Land Use Element to duplicate other elements of the General Plan;
rather, the intent is that the elements act in concert in the establishment of land use i
policy on behalf of the community.

VII. IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
The Implementation Program provides a translation of certain Goals and Policies set
forth in Section VI into action programs.
The Implementation Program is divided into two sections. The first section, General
Implementation Measures, includes a description of implementation mechanisms
which are routinely used by the City to implement goals and policies of the General
Plan. The second section, Specific Implementation Measures, contains
implementation programs intended to respond to specific goals and policies identified
in Section VI of the Land Use Element.
A. GENERAL IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES
1. Zoning
I
The Zoning Ordinance is the City's principal tool for effectuating the land use
proposals of the General Plan. Through zoning, the City not only determines
what development should be permitted, but what regulates the timing of new
development. The distinction between the General Plan and the Zoning Map
is often confused, because the average person tends to view both in terms
of regulating land use. Whereas the General Plan Map shows a generalized
pattern of future uses, looking ahead as far as 20 years, the Zoning Map is
precise and relates more to the present and immediate future. While the
General Plan is a policy guide for future development, the Zoning Ordinance
and Map are the actual regulatory tools used to implement the General Plan
on a more specific basis.
As rezones are initiated by private property owners or the City, the Zoning
Map will change. The General Plan provides a basis for judging the propriety
and timeliness of zoning changes. Zoning proposals that may have merit yet
do not conform with the General Plan may indicate a future need for
reassessment of the General Plan to determine if an amendment is
warranted. Over the years, zoning will gradually move toward the goals
contained within the General Plan as both private and public development
interests are achieved.
Redding's Zoning Ordinance includes a wide variety of districts that can be
applied to effectuate the General Plan. Some additional categories may be
needed in the future and some of the present regulations may require some
revision or clarification.
There are currently five residential zones in the ordinance ranging from the
R-1 Single Family District to the R-4 Multiple Family District. The "B"
Combining District is provided to allow for a wider range of site development
requirements such as increased setbacks and larger lot sizes wherever they
are applicable. The ordinance also includes an "R-T" Combining District that
with the granting of a use permit permits mobilehome parks on sites of five
59
I,I
acres or more in some zones and a "C-T" Combining District that permits
travel trailer parks on sites of two acres or more in some zones. In addition,
the "S-T" District can be combined with either the "R-1 " or "R-2" residential
zone to permit mobilehomes on individual lots. The "AA" Combining District
allows for certain single-family dwellings in R-1 Districts which meet square
;) footage requirements to convert a portion of the existing home into an
accessory apartment. Another combining district, the "A" Special
Agricultural Combining District, allows for non-commercial and limited
commercial agricultural pursuits in conjunction with single-family residences
on large lots.
The Zoning Ordinance includes six commercial zones which apply to office
("C-O"); small neighborhood shopping areas ("C-1 "); general commercial
development ("C-2"); service commercial, wholesale, and light industrial
areas ("C-3"); retail core commercial district ("C-4"), which is applicable to
the retail uses that are dependent upon pedestrian traffic such as the old
downtown area; and to limited service commercial uses ("C-6").
There are two industrial categories included in the Zoning Ordinance. The
"PI" Planned Industrial District provides controls to the degree needed to
assure high quality, attractive industrial uses. The "M-2" zone allows most
types of industrial uses with less emphasis on appearance.
Current zoning regulations include an overlay zone (the "F" District) that can
be combined with other zones to require site plan and design review for all
proposed uses. The "F" District is applied to areas of special natural beauty
and to prominent sites where careful attention to earth moving, site planning
building design, and landscaping is necessary to preserve or enhance the
City's appearance.
I
The "DR" Design Review Combining District provides for implementation of
the goals and policies of any applicable Specific or Area Plan. Design review
allows the City to regulate site development and ensures that the location of
structures and architectural design are visually harmonious with surrounding
II development, thereby providing a desirable environment for occupants,
visitors and the general community.
The "P-D" District (planned unit development) permits unified development
of larger properties with bonuses or incentives offered for outstanding site
planning and design. Planned unit development provisions also permit
appropriate combinations of several land uses in a well planned development,
and allow greater flexibility of design than applying separate zoning districts
to one site. Detailed, staged development plans are reviewed and approved
for each planned unit development.
The "U" Unclassified District provides flexibility in land-use decisions within
the General Plan classifications until such time as the actual form of
�i
development takes place. Specific development proposals which were
.I
i
I 60
- i
appropriate to the area's overlaying General Plan classification would be
subject to the use-permit process rather than the costlier, more time-
consuming rezoning process.
i
While the current range of zoning alternatives is sufficient to carry out the
objectives of the General Plan, The City may want to consider adding an
open space district compatible with the "Greenway" designation to be
applied to steep slopes that should not be developed and to other areas that
should be preserved in open use for topographic, geologic, or hydrologic
reasons. Most of these areas are currently zoned "U' Unclassified or "U-F"
requiring site plan review. "F-P" Floodplain Zoning Combining District applies
to properties in lowlands and floodplains along the Sacramento River and
other major water courses that are subject to inundation. In addition, the
City might consider adding a Highway Commercial District, an Airport
District, and a Public Facility District to its Zoning Ordinance.
Table 10 illustrates the relationship between the General Plan Land Use
Classifications and the Zoning Classifications.

2. Specific Plans
Specific plans provide a bridge between the general policy direction set forth
in the General Plan and the specific requirements contained in the Zoning
Ordinance. The requirements are set forth in California Government Code,
i� Sections 65450 et seq., as follows:
"The Specific Plan should include a text and a diagram or diagrams
specifying all of the following:
(1) distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land including open
space within the area covered by the Plan;
(2) proposed distribution, location, extent, and intensity of major
components of public and private transportation, sewage, water
drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities
proposed to be located within the area covered by the Plan and
needed to support the land uses described in the Plan;
(3) standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and the
standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of
I natural resources where applicable; and
(4) a program of implementation measures including regulations,
programs, public-works projects and finance measures necessary to
carry items 1, 2, & I"
!I The City should utilize specific plans such as the Park Marina Specific Plan
for specific geographical areas which warrant the particular attention
afforded by this type of planning tool.
3. Area Plans
An Area Plan is a set of goals and policies formulated for a particular
geographic area. Lands covered by an area plan are subject to the policies of
both the General Plan and the more specific policies of the area plan. Policies
of the area plan are implemented through the application of appropriate zoning
districts and standards set forth in the Zoning Ordinance.
Although similar to specific plans, and recognized in the California Government
II Code, area plans do not entail the same level of detail required for specific
plans.
The City is divided into planning units that have defined geographical
boundaries. Over the planning period, the goal is to formulate one new area
plan each year or update an existing area plan. Future possible Area Plans are
illustrated in Figure 3. Area Plans should reflect the overall growth strategy of
the City. During updates, when possible, smaller existing area plans will be
consolidated.

4. Development Review
The Department of Planning and Community Development is primarily
responsible for regulating planning, building, and housing activities within the
Redding City limits. The responsibility for carrying out these activities is
divided between the following divisions:
DIVISION RESPONSIBILITIES
Building Permits and Inspections
Plan Check
Projects, Programs and Policies Advanced Planning, Housing,
Redevelopment, and Rehabilitation
i
Neighborhood Preservation Code Enforcement, Administrative
Permits, Design Review
Development Services Current Planning, Zoning Permits,
Development Review
i
63
I
I
it
In addition, the Planning Department relies on the technical expertise of other
City departments to fulfill its responsibility to oversee the implementation of the
Redding Land Use Element.
i
The Planning Division places planning activities into three broad categories:
current planning, advance planning, and code enforcement. Generally, current
planning activities include the day-to-day processing of various types of
applications (use permits, lot splits, subdivisions, variances, etc), as well as
' preparation of necessary staff reports to the Planning Commission, Recreation
'j and Parks Commission, River and Waterways Commission, and City Council.
Providing the public with information regarding General Plan policies and zoning-
district guidelines, and providing guidance in the development process are also
examples of current planning activities. The City will continue to make the
permit process as efficient and streamlined as possible.
Advance planning activities include such projects as the preparation of
environmental impact reports and area plans, the drafting of new ordinances or
updating of existing ordinances, and continual updating of the General Plan.
Code enforcement deals with the enhancement and protection of existing
neighborhoods, and ensures that property values and community character do
not suffer due to unrestrained code violations.
'I The Redding Department of Planning and Community Development provides
advice and consultation to persons interested in the development process.
Handouts and guidebooks are continually developed and used by the
Department to explain processes and available options.
Working together with the Planning Department are the Public Works and
Recreation and Parks Departments, which analyze new development
applications for the following:
- Adequate solid-waste disposal;
infrastructure needs;
- access issues;
- parks and open space issues; and
- circulation issues.
5. Environmental Review
i
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires an evaluation of the
potential environmental impact of all proposed development. The Planning and
Community Development Department administers CEQA for the City in
accordance with State guidelines.
The environmental impacts of projects may be reviewed by the Board of
Administrative Review, Planning Commission, and/or the City Council. The
environmental impacts of projects not considered categorically exempt from the
requirements of CEQA may be found insignificant, thus allowing the filing of a
64
i
i
Negative Declaration; or the impacts can be found significant enough to require
the preparation of an environmental impact report (EIR).
An EIR is generally prepared by a consultant under the guidance of the
Department of Planning and Community Development. Prior to action on a
development request the EIR must be certified by the City Council to be
adequate. An EIR is an information document; adoption of an EIR does not
necessarily constitute approval of a project.
The City will continue to use the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
process to identify the environmental effects of development proposals and to
recommend appropriate mitigation measures to insure the orderly well planned j
growth of Redding.

proposals will be analyzed as to the impact they will have on existing traffic
flow. Mitigation measures will be imposed to limit any adverse impacts. The
overall intent of the Plan is to reduce the level of air pollution due to traffic by
reducing traffic congestion throughout the region. The development process
will include consideration of the requirement for consistency with the Shasta

restoration. This plan can serve as a prototype and will be adapted for use in
other watercourse areas including, but not limited to Salt Creek, Sulphur Creek,
Olney Creek, Stillwater Creek, Jenny Creek and Clover Creek.
In addition, the City should continue to require dedications or easements within
100-year floodplains in conjunction with development requests.
Implements Goal/Policy: Goal 1-3
Responsible Agency: Planning & Community Development Department
Recreation & Parks Department
Public Works Department
State Department of Fish and Game
Time Frame: FY 1990/91
16. Development Outside City Limits
The City should continue to work with Shasta County in an effort to ensure
that development approved outside the City limits but within the Planning Area
is consistent with the Redding General Plan and Sphere of Influence and that
development standards are compatible with the City's.
Implements Goal/Policy: Goal 14/All
Responsible Agency: City Manager's Office
Planning & Community Development Department
County of Shasta
Time Frame: Ongoing
17. Archaeological Resources
The City should routinely refer all development applications and public works
projects which require preparation of an EIR to the California Archeological
Inventory-Northeast Information Center, California State University, Chico for
review and recommendations concerning archaeological issues.
Implements Goal/Policy: Goal 7/All
Responsible Agency: Planning & Community Development Department
Public Works Department
Time Frame: Ongoing

18. Historical Preservation
The City should update their survey of historic and architecturally significant
structures within the Planning Area to provide a basis for the eventual
establishment of a Historic Preservation Combining District in the Zoning
Ordinance as a means of protecting historic and architecturally significant
structures. A committee should be formed to establish appropriate selection
criteria.
Implements Goal/Policy: Goals 6 and 22
Responsible Agency: Planning & Community Development Department
Building Department
Time Frame: FY 1992/93
19. Additional General Plan Elements
The City should consider the adoption of the following additional General Plan
elements:
Air Quality Element
Hazardous Materials Element
Economic Development Element
Redevelopment Element
Public Facilities Element
Growth Management Element
The purpose of these additional elements would be to focus attention on
particular topics in greater detail than is appropriate in the existing elements
and to incorporate relevant aspects of these topics into the planning process.
Implements Goal/Policy:
Responsible Agency: Planning & Community Development Department
Time Frame: FY 1992 through 1994
20. Ten-Year City Improvements Plan
The Ten-Year City Improvements Plan is based on projected locations and
intensities of development anticipated during the next decade, assuming the
City takes appropriate actions to effectuate the plan. Growth is likely to take
place in the projected pattern even if it does not occur at the rate forecast.
Capital improvement projects compete with the City's annual maintenance and
operating expenses, and with each other, for available funds; and obviously a
set of priorities must be established for the sometimes meager amounts
available for new site acquisition and construction. The process of setting
priorities combines an assessment of the relative importance of projects with
i
71
i
u
,I uS
a judgement of appropriate timing and most effective sequence. These
decisions on the municipal level are made much like personal decisions, in that
it sometimes the decision is based on what can be afforded, and sometimes it is
decided to afford something highly desired and to forego some other luxury or
necessity. The annual capital improvement budget logically can be the residual
I amount left after operating expenses have been paid, but operating costs
themselves are subject to variation according to the community's sense of
priorities. There are no simple rules for deciding whether to spend money on
a fire station or a park, for example, that must compete for the same limited
funds. If public safety needs always received the highest priority, parks would
never get into the municipal budget.
Advance acquisition of sites for public projects often is cited as a financial
benefit derived from careful planning. However, local governments are
chronically unable to achieve their capital improvements goals„ and advance
purchase at a lower price than prevails in later years may be at the cost of a
missed opportunity or a deferred facility elsewhere. Future taxpayers benefit
from the lower cost of advance site purchases, but present residents find their
money invested in a site they cannot use. Even though interest on public loans
is much lower than the usual land price appreciation and the only additional
holding cost is lost tax revenue, the optimum time for site purchase is not
always long in advance of use. Advance acquisition versus development is a
constant dilemma. Whereas failure to acquire a park site may condemn an area
to permanently substandard service, five years' deferral of development on
existing park sites may leave a generation of children unserved.
I
In the end, the choice is largely a matter of community taste, expressed by the
viewpoints of those elected to the City Council. A logical set of priorities can
only be established by weighing all of the competing demands on the City's
resources, and by assessing the community's desire and ability to pay for
services and facilities. Table A5 in the Appendix presents a list of the projects
proposed in the 10-Year City Improvements Plan. This project list will be
updated periodically to reflect significant changes.
21. Density Bonus
Unless constrained or precluded by other policies of the Redding General Plan
or by infrastructure problems, the density of residential projects within certain
classifications may be increased by as much as 25 percent, or more. Under
California Government Code Section 65915, a 25 percent density bonus or
financial incentive of equivalent value must be granted for projects which set
aside at an affordable price a certain percentage of dwelling units for low- or
lower-income persons. The City has adopted an ordinance (Chapter 18.07) to
implement this State mandate.

22. General Plan Elements Updates
I
As required by State Planning Law and in order to keep the Redding General
Plan as up-to-date as possible, the existing Elements of the General Plan will be
periodically updated and revised. With each update, the remaining Elements
will be reviewed to ensure that the entire General Plan remains both accurate
and internally consistent.
