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. 1 • FIGURE 1 CITY OF REDDING ii CORPORATE, SPHERE OF INFLUENCE, & PLANNING AREA BOUNDARIES j0 1.0 2.0 3.0 ....................... .5 1.5 2.5 ; MILES /77 • ■ • • CITY LIMIT ••• •• ............. BOUNDARY ■ SPHERE OF INFLUENCE PLANNING AREA BOUNDARY ..■...■........ BOUNDARY 2 d i 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. i i 4 a I FIGURE 2 - I EXISTING AREA AND SPECIFIC PLANS I 0 1.0 2.0 3.0 .5 1.5 2-5 MILES I V� 7 GPA-4-871 l OPA-1-76 , GPA-5-79 I Y GPA-8-84 GPA-1-73 GPA-2-75 GPA-12-84 1 GPA-2-76 GPA-9-85 GPA-6-77� �GPA-5-8 . 1 1 ' ' GPA-1-82 1' GPA-2-78 K Le _ Wk- WEV PA-7-84•� i I SPHERE OF INFLUENCE 1 BOUNDARY j 5 i v 'i TABLE 1 'I CITY OF REDDING ?

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. 10 'I Ah FIGURE 5 SHAST CENTRA �1r VALLEY PROJECT CITY _ Y p BELLA VISTA �:- sxASTA � Reddin.� I - PALO � I CEDRO a > _ Ii 4`� m Roure 44 ..f eek Road Clear CT 7Psr J Sdcr d .ANDERSON S,e � o i Gas Point Road I COTTONWO D I i , o Road .r co �c 4.

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. 13 h �i TABLE 2 i CITY OF REDDING SIZE Year Area % Increase Net Increase January 1, 1960 8.4 Square Miles 94% 3.1 Square Miles January 1, 1970 15.2 Square Miles 82% 6.8 Square Miles January 1, 1980 29.9 Square Miles 96% 14.7 Square Miles �I January 1, 1990 52.8 Square Miles 74% 22.1 Square Miles i Forecast i January 1, 2000 68.0 Square Miles 31 % 16.0 Square Miles January 1, 2010 78.0 Square Miles 15% 10.0 Square Miles January 1, 2020 90.0 Square Miles 15% 13.0 Square Miles Source: Redding Department of Planning and Community Development, June, 1991. ii I :i II. 14 i ; I i „w,••r•.»w;4?^: i % .i�s�IPj�O1p"��I'Ii�'1.

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. 17 I J I I , TABLE 5 !� REDDING AREA LABOR MARKET COMPOSITION Redding Metropolitan Statistical Area (Shasta County) ii Historical Historical Forecasts New Jobs i� Industry 1989 1990 1993 1988- % Change 1993 TOTAL, ALL INDUSTRIES: 49,150 51,375 54,100 7,150 15.2% TOTAL, Agriculture, Forestry, & Fishing: 1,300 1,050 1,275 100 8.5% TOTAL, Nonagriculture: 47,900 50,350 52,825 7,050 15.4% Construction & Mining: 3,825 4,225 4,100 800 24.2% !

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. 24 I • SPHERE OF _ o 1.0 2.0 3.0 INFLUENCEBOUNDARY 5 2.5 MILES •A. i �� u.umuuuu.uuuuwu u D a Z GATEY ........,.v...: z C LUMBIA SHASTA ' 8 UNION #� •� �uq • • Q ■ : �eu0 ■u■■% � uuu uq 1, ' a � ..... ...... .r .8068 00 ......................

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. 29 j j FIGURE 8 POTENTIAL SITES FOR SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATIONS & LANDFILL I 0 1.0 2.0 3.0 .5 1.5 25 it MILES ' 1 e d .+SI E TS2 t i• SITE TS1 SITE LF1 "� I 'i L..

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. 31 TABLE 7 CITY OF REDDING PARKS INVENTORY No. of Land Usage Sites I Gross Acreage Undeveloped Developed Tot Lot 9 7.1 Acres 0 Acres 7.1 Acres Neighborhood Park 6 26.1 Acres 0 Acres 26.1 Acres Community Park 3 72.0 Acres 0 Acres 72.0 Acres Large Urban Park 1 75.0 Acres 0 Acres 75.0 Acres Regional Park 0 0.0 Acres 0 Acres 0.0 Acres i Lineal Parks 1 27.8 Acres 0 Acres 27.8 Acres Special Use Areas* 8 61.4 Acres 6.1 Acres 55.3 Acres Undeveloped Parkland 26 1202.79 Acres 1202.79 Acres 0.0 Acres 'i * Includes Sacramento River Fishing Access owned by State.

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. 40 'i ;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 41 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. 42 i I 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. 43 I 1 a c 0 +1 p X X X X X U 'I O cr i U O aci o X X X X U 0 N � � U N y - � E X X X O U) O a- t0 N X X X C X c a � � ' C O X X X N w U_ 0 J J E O N Q d W > m L D c c X X X X O O U oa Z O Q J � C O X X X X X U L_ U c X X X X X 0 CC }, •L O O O U E y W CL W +, H O Z E (n � m N = 7 U O O C Q Z y d � y 0 W O °_� N 4) � > Z = C O C O U 13 d N Q (n O v1 O •V � df C :) a>.

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.

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. i Table 10 General Plan/Zoning Consistency GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTS CLASSIFICATION ZONING CLASSIFICATION I 0.2 to 3.5 units per acre U, R-1 or R-1 with B, Combining District 4.0 units per acre U, R-1, PD 6.0 units per acre U, R-1, R-2, RM-6, PD 9.0 units per acre U, R-2, RM-6, R3-40, PD 12.0 units per acre U, RM-9, 113-30, R3-40, PD 18.0 units per acre U, RM-12, R3-25, R3-30, PD 24.0 units per acre U, RM-18, R3-15, R3-20 Office/Residential (OR) U, R4-40, R4-30, R4-25, R4-20, PD Office (OFF) U, 114-15, R4-20, CO Retail (R) U, C-0, C-1, C-2 Service Commercial (SC) U, C-2, C-3, C-6 Planned Industrial (PI) U, PI Light Industrial (LI) U, PI, C-3, or C-6 General Industrial (IND) U, M-2, PI Public/Institution (P or 1) ALL Airport Service (AS) U Agriculture (AG) U, R-1A Park/Golf Course (P/G) ALL Greenway/Steep Slope/ Floodplain/Scenic (GW) U, U-F, FP Source: Redding Department of Planning & Community Development 61 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. 62 The following schedule covers these activities during the planning period: TABLE 11 SCHEDULE OF AREA PLANS UPDATE AND CONSOLIDATION AREA PLAN FISCAL YEAR i Westside Area Plan 1991/92 Upper Stillwater Area Plan 1992/93 Middle Stillwater Area Plan 1992/93 Upper Churn Creek Area Plan 1992/93 Middle Churn Creek Area Plan 1993/94 Expansion of Texas Springs 1993/94 Buckeye Area Plan 1994/95 Enterprise Area Plan 1994/95 Cascade Area Plan 1995/96 I Quartz Hill Road Area Plan 1995/96 Downtown Redding Area Plan 1996/97 Churn Creek Bottom Area Plan 2000/01 i Redding Municipal Airport Specific Plan 2000/01 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. B. SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES The following implementation measures are identified by topic. Accompanying each of the implementation measures is the following information: i • Identification of the goal and/or policy (See Section VI) the measure implements. • The public agency responsible for implementing the measure. • The time frame (expressed in fiscal years) in which the measure is expected to be implemented. i 1.

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. 72 i I Implements Goal/Policy: Goal 15/4.14.b Responsible Agency: Planning & Community Development Department Time Frame: Ongoing 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.
