RESNER, Mayor FORM APPROVED: BARRY E. DeWALT, City Attorney INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS The people of the City of Redding do ordain as follows: Section 1. Title. This initiative measure ("Initiative") shall be known as the `Bechelli Bonnyview Voter Initiative." Section 2. Findings and Purpose. A. Findings. The people of the City of Redding find and declare the following: 1. The approximately 25 -acre property generally located in the southern portion of the City of Redding off Interstate 5 at South Bonnyview Road and Bechelli Lane (the `Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property"), as shown in Exhibit A hereto, currently consists of undeveloped land. The approximately 10 -acre property located to the immediate north of the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property (the `Bechelli Bonnyview Residential Property"), as shown in Exhibit A hereto, also currently consists of undeveloped land. The surrounding land uses to the north of these properties are existing single family residential, to the south are existing commercial and hotel development, and to the west is existing office development, with Interstate 5 to the east. 2. The City of Redding's General Plan, which was originally adopted by the City on October 3, 2000 and has amended been from time to time, classified a portion of the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property as "Shopping Center" and another portion as "Residential, 6 to 10 dwelling units per acre," and classified the Bechelli Bonnyview Residential Property as "Residential, 6 to 10 dwelling units per acre." 3. The General Plan, as adopted, also includes several policies encouraging the City to maintain and expand Redding's influence as a. regional trade center, including by encouraging proposals for major shopping, specialty retail, and other facilities that are regional in scale, and to satisfy the retail market by providing a range of site sizes and locations in the community. 4. Accordingly, in March 2020, the City completed an environmental impact report ("EBR") in connection with a proposal for a project on the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property to allow for the development of approximately 222,000 square feet of regional level retail development, including for a discount retail warehouse with an associated fueling facility, as well as other new retail options with modem and energy efficient buildings and landscaping, in order to provide regional shopping opportunities in a safe and secure environment. The EBR and associated technical reports analyzed the project's potential impacts on land use and planning; aesthetics; biological resources; geology and soils; hydrology and water quality; transportation and traffic; tribal cultural resources, noise; air quality; greenhouse gas emissions; hazards and hazardous materials; cultural resources; public services, utilities, and service systems; and energy consumption. The EBR concluded that, with mitigation, the proposed project would not cause any significant environmental impacts, except for impacts at certain intersections and roadway segments. Although the EBR identified improvements to reduce these impacts to less than significant and the project would make a fair share contribution toward each of these improvements, the timing of implementation of some of the improvements was uncertain and certain other improvements were located outside the City's jurisdiction. Therefore, the EBR conservatively considered these impacts to be significant. 5. In May/June 2020, after numerous public hearings, the City Council certified the EBR and adopted the following project -related approvals: (A) amendment to the City of Redding General Plan to reclassify the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property from "Shopping Center and "Residential, 6 to 10 units per acre" to "Regional Commercial"; (B) rezoning the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property from "SC" (Shopping Center District) and "RM -10" (Residential Multiple Family District) to "RC" (Regional Commercial); and (C) adoption of the "River Crossing Marketplace Specific Plan" to establish the permitted uses and development regulations, requirements, and design guidelines for future development on the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property. These approvals have been challenged in court. ■v� m, INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS 6. An unnecessarily drawn-out litigation process is unlikely to confer any benefit on the community, and instead the voters wish to propose this Initiative, which will clearly establish City policies, pursuant to which the proposed development of the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property will be allowed to proceed. The voters believe the City of Redding would be ideally served at this undeveloped location by a new regional commercial center, which will attract the types of companies that will broaden the City's sales tax base by providing local and regional tax -generating uses and contribute to job growth in the City. 7. In addition, because the voters seek to adapt a more comprehensive vision for future development in the Bechelli/Bonnyview area, including to help ensure there are adequate housing opportunities in the City, the voters wish to adopt the "Residential, 20 to 30 dwelling units per acre" land use classification, as well as the corresponding "RM -30" zoning, on the adjacent Bechelli Bonnyview Residential Property. 8. This Initiative therefore adopts certain, specified amendments to the City of Redding General Plan ("General Plan") and the City of Redding Zoning Map ("Zoning Map"), and adopts the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan (collectively, the "Amendments and Specific Plan") to: (a) allow for development of the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property with approximately 222,000 square feet of regional level retail development, including a discount retail warehouse with an associated fueling facility, as well as other new retail options with modem and energy efficient buildings and landscaping, as set forth in the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan; and (b) to authorize the opportunity for future, possible increased density residential development on the Bechelli Bonnyview Residential Property. 9. The retail and discount warehouse development expressly authorized by the Amendments and Specific Plan adopted by this Initiative will strengthen the City's economic base with quality long-term jobs in addition to shorter -term construction jobs, generate substantial revenues for the City in the form of one-time and annual fees/exactions, increase the City's annual property and sales tax revenues, and bring other fiscal benefits to the City. The future, possible residential development on the Bechelli Bonnyview Residential Property, which would require discretionary approvals and California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review from the City to proceed, similarly strengthens the City's position by ensuring there are adequate housing opportunities in the City, thereby helping the City meet its housing obligations. 10. The goals, policies, and mandatory design features of the Specific Plan adopted by this Initiative, which include measures identified in the EIR that analyzed proposed discount warehouse and retail development on the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property, will reduce or avoid significant impacts resulting from the actions approved by this Initiative and ensure compliance with the City's policies, guidelines, and standards. Moreover, because future, possible development of the Bechelli Bonnyview Residential Property would require discretionary approvals from the City, any such future, possible development on that property will be subject to a public process, including environmental review, before it could proceed. 11. The Amendments and Specific Plan are in the public interest and the Specific Plan and amendments to the Zoning Code and Zoning Map are consistent with the General Plan as amended by this Initiative. 12. This Initiative serves the public health, safety, and welfare of the City of Redding and the surrounding region. B. Pumose. The purpose of this Initiative is to facilitate the best use of the subject properties in order to strengthen the City's economic base by authorizing approximately 222,000 square feet of regional level retail commercial development, including a large discount retail warehouse with an associated fueling facility, as well as other new retail options with modem and energy efficient buildings and landscaping, on certain, specific property in the City, and to create the opportunity for complementary future, possible residential development of up to 20 to 30 units per acre on an adjacent property. Section 3. City of Redding General Plan Amendments. A. The voters hereby amend the General Plan Diagram of the City of Redding INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS General Plan to: 1. Adopt the "Regional Commercial" land use classification on the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property, as depicted in Exhibit B hereto; and 2. Adopt the "Residential, 20 to 30 dwelling units per acre" land use classification on the Bechelli Bonnyview Residential Property, as depicted in Exhibit B hereto. B. The voters hereby amend the "Residential — 20 to 30 Dwelling Units per Acre (20 to 30 Wit)" sub -section of the "Land Use Plan" section of the "Community Development and Design Element" of the City of Redding General Plan as follows (new text is shown in underline; bold or regular text is not being amended and is shown for context only): Residential — 20 to 30 Dwelling Units per Acre (20 to 30 u/a) This classification is intended for multiple -story, multiple -family projects, including condominiums and apartments located within or adjacent to Downtown, adjacent to Property classified as Regional Commercial (RC) that is least 24 acres in size, or along arterial corridors served by public transit. C. The voters hereby amend "Policy CDD 13X" in the "Commercial Land Use Guidelines" subsection of the "Goals and Policies" section of the "Community Development and Design Element" of the City of Redding General Plan as follows (new text is shown in underline; regular text is not being amended and is shown for context only): CDD13A. Ensure that adequate commercial lands are identified on the General Plan Diagram to meet existing and projected market demand for local and regional retail commercial activity. Proposed amendments to the Diagram, not initiated by the Planning Commission or City Council, will be considered appropriate in instances where there is a demonstrated need for additional retail commercial land to serve the existing and projected retail market within a 5 -year time horizon. Applicants for General Plan amendments, including applications initiated by the City on public lands, shall provide a market analysis, the scope of which must be approved by the City, sufficiently detailed to determine if the above market criteria are in evidence. Demonstrating only that a particular location would be economically viable for an intended use will not constitute, in and of itself, sufficient grounds for a General Plan amendment. Consistent with state law, which exempts voter initiatives from procedural requirements in the land use context, voter initiatives shall not be required to provide a market analysis. D. The voters hereby amend "Policy PF1C" in the "Establishing and Maintaining Service Levels" subsection of the "Goals and Policies" section of the "Public Facilities and Services Element" of the City of Redding General Plan as follows (new text is shown in underline; regular text is not being amended and is shown for context only): PF1C. When reviewing applications for land use designation changes (i.e. zone change, General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan), conduct a thorough analysis of the impacts of the proposed changes on all aspects of the City's infrastructure system, and require mitigation as appropriate. Consistent with state law, which exempts voter initiatives from procedural requirements in the land use context voter initiatives shall not be required to provide an impacts analysis E. The voters hereby amend "Policy PF20E" in the "Funding" subsection of the "Goals and Policies" section of the "Public Facilities and Services Element" of the City of Redding General Plan as follows (new text is shown in underline; regular text is not being amended and is shown for context only): PF20E. Require the preparation of a fiscal impact analysis for all specific plans or significant general plan land use amendments and annexations. The INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS analysis will examine the fiscal impacts on the City and other service providers that result from large scale development. The fiscal analysis shall project a positive fiscal impact form new development or include mechanisms to fund projected fiscal deficits. Exceptions may be made when new development generates significant public benefits (e.g., low-income housing,primary-wage- eamcr employment) and when alternative sources of funding can be obtained to offset foregone revenues. Consistent with state law, which exempts voter initiatives from procedural requirements in the land use context, voter initiatives shall not be required to provide a fiscal impact analysis. Section 4. Zoning Amendments. A. The voters hereby amend the Zoning Map of the City of Redding, California to: 1. Adopt the "RC" (Regional Commercial District) zoning and the "SP" (Specific Plan Overlay District) on the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property, as depicted in Exhibit C hereto, which shall be combined with the zoning district within the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan (the text of the adopted zoning district is set forth in the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan, attached as Exhibit D hereto and incorporated herein by reference); and 2. Adopt the "RM -30" (Residential Multiple -Family) zoning on the Bechelli Bonnyview Residential Property, as depicted in Exhibit C hereto. Section 5. Adoption of the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan. The Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit D, is hereby adopted. Section 6. Effect of Initiative on General Plan Land Use Classifications and Zoning on Subject Properties Only. A. This Initiative adopts land use classifications and zoning only for the Bechelli Bounyview Specific Plan Property and the Bechelli Bonnyview Residential Property, which are specifically identified in this Initiative. The Initiative does not adopt, alter, or change any other land use classification or zoning on any other real property in the City of Redding. B. By adopting this Initiative, the voters intend to adopt, and do hereby adopt, the exclusive land use classifications and zoning for the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan Property and the Bechelli Bonnyview Residential Property, respectively, which shall supersede and replace any and all prior or existing land use classifications and/or zoning on these particular properties. Section 7. Implementation of this Initiative. A.

Effect of Other Measures on the Same Ballot. It is the voters' intent to create a comprehensive regulatory plan to govern the future use and development of the specific property that is subject to the Initiative. To ensure that this intent is not frustrated, and in the event this Initiative is not adopted by the City Council as law, this Initiative shall be presented to the voters as an alternative to, and with the express intent that it will compete with, any and all voter initiatives or City -sponsored measures placed on the same ballot as this Initiative and which, if approved, would regulate the use or development of the subject property in any manner whatsoever (each, a "Conflicting Initiative"). In the event that this Initiative and one or more Conflicting Initiatives are adopted by the voters at the same election, then it is the voters' intent that only that measure that receives the greatest number of affirmative votes shall control in its entirety and said other measure or measures shall be rendered void and without any legal effect. In no event shall this Initiative be interpreted in a manner that would permit its operation in conjunction with the non -conflicting provisions of any Conflicting Initiative.

If any provision of this Initiative is held invalid asapplied to any person or circumstance, such invalidity does not affect any application of this Initiative that can be given effect without the invalid application. B. If any portion of this Initiative is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, we the People of the City of Redding indicate our strong desire that: (i) the City Council use its best efforts to sustain and re-enact that portion, and (ii) the City Council implement this Initiative by taking all steps possible to cure any inadequacies or deficiencies identified by the court in a manner consistent with the express and implied intent of this Initiative, including adopting or reenacting any such portion in a manner consistent with this Initiative.

land use, zoning, development standards, regulations, and guidelines for approximately 222,000 square feet of regional level retail development on ap- proximately 25 acres located in the southcentral re- gion of the City of Redding. Throughout this Specific Plan, the development contemplated and permitted by this Specific Plan may be referred to as the "Project," and the approximately 25 gross acres within the boundaries of the Specific Plan Area may be re- ferred to as the "Project Area" or "Specific Plan Area." The Specific Plan will assist in the development of the site in a manner that benefits local shoppers, travelers on Interstate 5, the general public, and the City of Redding. The Specific Plan accomplishes these pur- poses by providing for the efficient use of land, en- suring compatibility between existing and proposed land uses, and establishing Environmental Design Fea- tures and development standards and procedures to be met in development of the Specific Plan Area. The development regulations contained in the Spe- cific Plan address the unique characteristics of the r2_-1 development site and surrounding properties, as well as the needs of the commercial land uses pro- posed for the Project Area. These efforts are intend- ed to foster greater economic development and de- sign opportunities than could be achieved through the use of conventional zoning and development stand- ards. peSI7E Lassen Peak -' The Specific Plan and its implementing overlay zoning _ �R district establishes permitted uses and development regulations, requirements, and design guidelines for development all within the boundaries of the Specific Plan Area.

The Project Area is adjacent to 1-5 at S. Bonnyview Road and Bechelli Lane (see Figure 1.2). Figure 1.2 City Limits n.A CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1-1 INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS BECHELLI BONNYVIEW S P E C I F I C P L A N 1.3 EXISTING SETTING The Project Area consists of undeveloped land that gently slopes from a maximum elevation of 524 feet above sea level at the northwest portion of the Project Area to elevation 510 feet at the mid portion of the site at the existing swale area (see Figure 1.3). A major portion of the site consists of ghost pine and interior live oak woodlands, predominated by stands of interior live oak, blue oak, and foothill pine. The under - story is primarily vegetated with white leaf manzanita, poison oak, and limited areas of California coffeeberry. A wetland area has been Identified on the northern portion of the Project site. The surrounding land uses to the north are existing sin- gle family residential, to the south existing commercial and hotel development, to the west existing office de- velopment, and to the east Interstate 5 (see Figure 1.4).

Adoption of this Specific Plan is apart of the citizen's Bechelli Ban nyview Voter Initiative ("Initiative"). The Initiative includes the following amendments to City of Redding planning documents with respect to the Spe- cific Plan Area: • Adopts the Regional Commercial land use classi- fication for the Specific Plan Area; • Adopts the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan; BECHELLI BONNYVIEW SPECIFIC PLAN REDDING, CALIFORNIA • Adopts the RC, Regional Commercial zoning and Specific Plan Overlay for the Specific Plan Area; and • Adopts certain conforming amendments to the City's planning documents. a. Buildout and Land Use Summary The Specific Plan is intended to allow for Flexibility in development. The Specific Plan has one zoning dis- trict: Regional Commercial (RC). Table 1.1 presents the approximate acres of the RC zoning district and the maximum commercial building square footages that will be allowed at buildout. The RC zoning dis- trict is in conformance with the General Plan classifi- cation of the Specific Plan Area as Regional Commer- cial, as amended by the Initiative. The Project will attract a variety of retail commercial businesses that will generate jobs, and provide for business develop- ment for the future needs of the City of Redding over the Project buildout.

Plan Concepts The Specific Plan concept is organized around capitaliz- ing on convenient highway access from Interstate 5 to create a commercial shopping environment that is high- ly visible for both residents and visitors to Redding and the greater Cascade area of California. Access to the Project from Interstate 5 will be via the proposed drive- way from 5. Bonnyview Road and from an existing sig- nalized intersection as well as two additional driveways off Bechelli Lane (see Figure 1.5). The discount warehouse retail and fuel facility (the Pro- ject's major anchor) are In the northern portion of the Project Area with the main access to warehouse at the existing signalized intersection off of Bechelli Lane. The warehouse is oriented with the entry facing towards the intersection of Bechelli Lane and S Bonnyview Road so that the tire center and loading docks are facing away from the existing residential uses. The fuel facility has been located at the southeast portion of the site adja- cent to 1-5 to limit traffic conflicts between the ware- house parking and circulation and the fuel facility access and queuing. The parking lot has been designed with three access drives off of Bechelli Lane to assist with dis- persing traffic entering and existing the discount ware- house site. Eleven recreational vehicle stalls have also been included at the north portion of the warehouse site to accommodate visitors to the area. A pedestrian circulation link has been included in parking lot design to provide the opportunity for pedestrian circulation be- tween the discount warehouseand the traditional retail shopping center to the south. The traditional commercial retail shopping center uses are clustered at the southern portion of the. Project Ar- ea. The major retail buildings are arranged to orient their main entry features and architectural detailing to- wards Bechelli Lane. Smaller pad buildings will be orient - ed internally to the site to provide a design allowing convenient pedestrian access between buildings and retailers encouraging multiple shopping opportuni- ties while visiting the center. c. Goals and Objectives The Specific Plan will ensure that future development creates an identity of its own with a commitment to sustainability, site design, and well-designed build- ings. The following goals and objectives have been established for the Project. 1. Implement the Redding General Plan by encour- aging development that maximizes the proper- ty's use potential in a manner consistent with the City's General Plan through adoption of a Specific Plan; 2. Maximize and broaden the City's sales tax base by providing local and regional tax -generating us- es and contribute to job growth in the City of Redding; 3. Improve and maximize economic viability of a currently vacant project site through the estab- lishment of a new commercial center; 4. Provide an Interstate 5 interchange location within the City of Redding to facilitate the devel- opment of a discount warehouse with fuel sales to serve local and travelling customers. S. Provide for the construction of complementary retail and restaurant uses with shared access and parking developed in a cohesive manner estab- lished by a Specific Plan. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1-5 INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS 1.5 EXISTING PUBLIC SERVICES The site is within the City of Redding City Limits and all public services including police, fire, water, sewer, storm drainage, electric service, solid waste, and public street maintenance will be provided by the City. 1.6 CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT STATU- TORY REQUIREMENTS The Specific Plan has been prepared in accordance with California Government Code, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8 Sections 65450 through 65457. The California Government Code authorizes jurisdic- tions to adopt specific plans by resolution as policy documents or by ordinance as regulatory docu- ments. The law allows preparation of specific plans, as may be required for the implementation of the general plan, and further allows for their review and adoption. Specific plans act as a bridge between gen- eral plan and individual development standards and guidelines, capital improvement programs and financ- ing methods into a single document that is tailored to meet the needs of a specific area. California Government Cade Section 65451 requires that a specific plan include text and a diagram or dia- grams which specify all the following in detail: (1) The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area covered by the plan. (2) The proposed distribution, location, extent and in- tensity 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 standards forthe conservation, develop- ment, and utilization of natural resources, where appli- cable. (4) A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and fi- nancing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs (1), (2), and (3). CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1-6 A specific plan shall also include a statement of the relationship of the specific plan to the general plan. A specific plan may address any other subjects which in the judgment of the planning agency are necessary or desirable for implementation of the general plan. The standards contained in the Specific Plan are adopted by initiative ordinance and are enforceable to the same extent as standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance and other City Codes. In the event of an inconsistency between the Specific Plan and the underlying zoning regulations, the provi- sions of the Specific Plan shall prevail. The meaning and construction of words, phrases, titles and terms shall be the same as provided in City of Redding Mu- nicipal Code and Redding General Plan, unless other- wise specifically provided in the Specific Plan. 1.7 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS City of Redding General Plan This Specific Plan includes land uses, amenities, and design elements that are consistent with the General Plan, as amended by the Initiative. Below is a review of the goals and policies from the General Plan that are most relevant to the Specific Plan and a discus- sion on how the Project will help implement the Gen- eral Plan. Policies CDD2A (Require construction of private de- velopment projects to be coordinated with the tim- ing and location of public services. Ensure through a combination of development fees and other appro- priate funding mechanisms that development pays its fair share of the costs of constructing/providing new facilities and services as determined by the di- rect impacts that such development has on these essential services) and CDDZ8 (Ensure that new de- velopment will not degrade public services below established service levels, that it contributes to the enhancement of services as appropriate, and that the costs of providing public services do not exceed anticipated revenue from the development of the project over the long term). The Project will be re- quired to provide public improvements (e.g., water, sewer, storm drainage, and street facilities) required by the development up -front and to pay Into the City's Development Impact Fee Program, as may be amended from time to time, thus maintaining service levels. INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS MARCH 33, 3021 Policy CDD30: Require buffer areas between devel- opment projects and significant watercourses, ripar- ian vegetation, and wetlands in accordance with the Natural Resources Element. The Project will provide a 20 -foot buffer adjacent to the residentially zoned property to the north that includes a double row of native deciduous trees and evergreen trees/shrubs, which will also buffer the wetlands in the conserva- tion easement to the north. Policy CDD9C: Establish design standards for new development that will create more livable and aes- thetically pleasing neighborhoods. Promote com- patibility between land uses by minimizing impacts to privacy, views, and noise and from intrusion of non -neighborhood traffic. The design standards con- tained in the Specific Plan address site layout, build- ing and roof form, colors, and a landscape theme in- tended to ensure an aesthetically pleasing develop- ment, The Project will provide a 20 -foot buffer adja- cent to the residentially zoned property to the north that includes a double row of native deciduous trees and evergreen trees/shrubs designed to provide a visual screen. Policy CDD9D: Design projects to provide gradual transitions between multiple -family and single- family districts and between commercial and resi- dential districts by considering appropriate tech. niques such as: • Density/intensity transitions. • Landscape buffers/trails. • Building placement. • Height transitions The Project will provide a 20 -foot buffer adjacent to the residentially zoned property to the north that in- cludes a double row of native deciduous trees and evergreen trees/shrubs designed to provide a visual screen. Goal CDD13: Designate commercial lands In appro- priate locations to meet the present and future needs of Redding's residents and visitors and to maintain the City's economic vitality. The Project will provide the City with an additional site of suffi- cient size to accommodate a well-designed regional and community retail center at a location that has convenient Interstate 5 access and to foal serving surface streets. Tz_17 BECHELLI BONNTVIEW SPECIFIC PLAN REDDING, CALIFORNIA Policy CDD13A: Ensure that adequate commercial lands are identified an the General Plan Diagram to meet existing and projected market demand for lo- cal and regional retail commercial activity. Pro- posed amendments to the Diagram, not initiated by the Planning Commission or City Council, will be considered appropriate in instances where there is a demonstrated need for additional retail commer- cial land to serve the existing and projected retail market within a 5 -year time horizon. Applicants for General Plan amendments, including applications Initiated by the City on public lands, shall provide a market analysis, the scope of which must be ap- proved by the City, sufficiently detailed to deter- mine if the above market criteria are in evidence. Demonstrating only that a particular location would be economically viable for an Intended use will not constitute, in and of Itself, sufficient grounds for a General Plan amendment. The elimination of Rede- velopment Agencies has led to a significant funding gap in the Oasis Road Specific Plan's (ORSP) Public Facilities and Financing Program (PFFP). Until the PFFP is amended and additional backfill funding Identified, the ability of the Oasis Road area to fully absorb regional retail uses envisioned and planned by the ORSP is questionable: Adding an additional re- gional level retail site to the City's inventory can help to address this issue. Consistent with state law, a market analysis is not necessary here given the Gen- eral Plan is being amended by voter initiative, which is expressly recognized in a clarifying amendment of this policy in the Initiative. Policy CDD13B: Provide sufficient opportunity to satisfy the retail market demand by allowing a range of site sizes and locations, while ensuring that a reclassification of land for commercial uses will not: • Conflict with policies that encourage multi- ple -family uses in close proximity to retail and service uses and along transportation corridors. • Conflict with policies of the Parks, Trails, and Open Space Master Plan. • Reduce the supply of multiple -family lands as necessary to satisfy the long-term hous- ing needs for very low-, low-, and moder- ate -income households in the community. The Specific Plan Area will add a regional discount warehouse and retail component at the southern gateway to the City of Redding. An increased oppor- CHAPTER r INTRODUCTION 1-r INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS tunity for multiple -family uses on the property to the immediate north of the Specific Plan Area is support- ed by the Initiative, CDD13D: Consider the following site characteristics when designating lands for retail commercial uses: • Location on an arterial street, preferably at street intersections. • Provision of sufficient depth that will allow a cohesive/clustered development style in- stead of separate uses developed in a linear fashion along the street. • Location within or adjacent to existing or planned concentrations of population. The Project will be located at the intersection of two arterial streets, South Bonnyview Road and Sechelli Lane. The Project site has sufficient depth to allow the buildings to be clustered and set back from the Street. The Specific Plan Area is located adjacent to existing and planned residential, commercial, hotel and office development. Policy C0033E: Require overall development plan approval for all shopping centers and regional cen- ters before allowing the development of individual uses within the center. This Specific Plan includes an overall development plan for the Project. Policy CDD13F: Require regional centers (i.e., those regional commercial districts that include multiple main tenants) to include a mix of uses, such as recre- ation, specialty retail, restaurants, offices, and ac- commodations for transit services and public uses. The Project includes a mix of uses, including a dis- count warehouse with ancillary fueling facility and tire center, major retailers, shops and pads for restau- rants. Policies CDD14A (Establish design and performance standards for commercial development to ensure that building and site design are Compatible with their surroundings in terms of scale, mass, building patterns, building details, location of parking, sign- age, and landscape and enhance views from major streets and other public areas) and CDC14C (Require the design of large commercial projects, shopping centers, and regional -scale developments to incor- porate plazas, courtyards, and other outdoor gather- ing places and connections to adjacent residential neighborhoods). The Specific Plan includes building CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1-e and site design standards that address building mate- rials and colors, as well as wall and roof form and a unified landscape theme. Wide sidewalks, seating ar- eas, and other outdoor amenities are required by the Specific Plan. A pedestrian and vehicle emergency ac- cess point to the residentially zoned land to the north will be provided. Goal CDD18: Reduce the visual impact of utilities and communication facilities. The Specific Plan in- cludes requirements consistent with this policy. Polity CDD38A: Place new electric distribution lines underground in new development. All new utilities including, but not limited to, electric, cable television, and phone, will be installed underground. Goal EDS: Maintain and expand Redding's influence as a regional retail trade center. The Specific Plan would allow development of a regional shopping cen- ter with a mix of uses, including a discount ware- house with ancillary fueling facility and tire center, major retailers, shops and pads for restaurants. Policy EDS8: Encourage proposals for major shop- ping, specialty retail, cultural, entertainment, tour- ism, and convention facilities that are regional in scope and which will strengthen Redding's position as the North State hub for these activities. Securing a site within the City of Redding for the Specific Plan Area's major anchor as well as ancillary retail uses will help ensure that Redding retains its retail strength in the region. Policy TH: Encourage new development in close proximity to existing employment, housing, schools, commercial centers, and other services and ameni- ties. The Project is located near existing employ- ment, housing, schools, commercial centers, and oth- er services and amenities. Goal TS: Coordinate transportation and land use planning; protect existing and planned land uses from transportation related conflicts; promote multi -modal transportation options. The Project is re- quired to make a fair share contribution to a number of substantial improvements to the area's roadway system, including freeway ramps, providing addition- al travel lanes an surface streets, and making im- provements to area intersections to improve traffic Rows. INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS MARCH 23, 2021 Policy T5B: Require development projects to construct both on- and off-site improvements as necessary to mitigate the effects of Increased traffic generated by the project and maintain peak -hour LOS standards I.-1• The Project would be required to pay Traffic Impact Fees, construct necessary frontage improvements, and implement or contribute its monetary fair share to off- site improvements. Policy TSF: Route through truck traffic around existing and future residential neighborhoods and Incompati- ble commercial areas to the extent feasible. The Spe- cific Plan Area Is adjacent to the 1-5 on- and off -ramps, which provide direct access for truck traffic that avoids existing and future residential neighborhoods and in- compatible commercial areas. Policy T7F: Assess fees on new development sufficient to cover the fair share portion of that development's impacts an the local and regional transportation sys- tem. Exceptions may be when new development gen- erates significant public benefits (e.g., low-income housing, primary -wage-earner employment), and al- ternative sources of funding for the improvements ran be obtained to offset foregone revenues. The Project is required to make a fair share contribution to a number of substantial improvements to the area's roadway sys- tem. Goal T9: Protect residential neighborhoods from ex- cessive through traffic, where feasible. As set forth in Appendix A, the Project is required to construct traffic calming features on Lama Vista Drive and construct a traffic signal at the Bechelli Lane intersection. Policy T30A: Provide pedestrian -oriented features, such as benches, enhanced landscape, and trash re- ceptacles, in commercial areas, particularly in the Downtown and Park Marina areas. The Project will provide new sidewalks along Bechelli Lane and South Bonnyview Road. Policy T10F: Require all new or renovated pedestrian facilities to be of a sufficient width to ensure pedestri- an comfort and safety and to accommodate the spe- cial needs of the physically disabled. The Project will provide new sidewalks along Bechelli Lane and South Bonnyview Road that will Comply with this policy. aECHELLI SONNTVIEW SPECIFIC PLAN REDDING, CALIFORNIA Policy T12G: Require new development to provide bicycle facilities or pay in -lieu fees based on the fair share of that development's impacts on the bikeway system and needs identified on the Comprehensive Bikeway Plan. The Project will provide new bike facil- ities in compliance with this policy. Policy HS2A: Continue to require that new struc- tures and alterations to existing structures comply with the seismic safety requirements of the Uniform Building Code (UBC); adopt updated provisions of the UBC related to seismic safety as they become available. The Project will comply with these re- quirements. Policy HS2B: Continue efforts to reduce flood insur- ance premiums for City residents by restricting floodplain development and participating in the Community Rating Service Program. The Project is not located in in a flood hazard zone. Policy HSZH: Require new development to demon- strate that existing and/or planned (on- or offsite) drainage facilities are sized to accommodate project storm runoff and to prevent off-site increase in peak runoff rates and flood elevations. The Project will provide drainage facilities of sufficient size to ensure that there will no increase in peak runoff from storm events from that occurring in the sites predevelop- ment state. Policy H54B: Require that all new development and redevelopment meet state and local standards for fire protection; encourage the upgrade of existing structures to current standards. The Project would meet all applicable state and local fire protection standards. Policy H59C: Require that soils containing toxic or hazardous substances be remediated to the satisfac- tion of the agency having jurisdiction prior to the granting of any permits for new development. Any contaminated soil that is encountered during Project construction would be removed and disposed of off- site at a licensed hazardous materials disposal site in accordance with all applicable agency requirements. CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.9 INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS Policy NR1C: Minimize soil erosion and sedimentation created during and after construction activities to the fullest extent practicable, using Best Management Practices (BMPs). The Project applicants) will imple- ment BMPs to minimize soil erosion and sedimentation created during and after construction activities to the fullest extent practicable. Goal NRS: Preserve and protect the significant habi- tats, plants, and wildlife that exist in the Planning Ar- ea. The Environmental Design Features in Appendix A require the Project applicant to obtain necessary state and federal permits, either pay off-site mitigation fees at an approved mitigation bank, or complete protocol surveys necessary to verify the absence of vernal pool fairy shrimp. The Project will also implement Environ- mental Design Features to avoid or minimize the poten- tial for Project -related impacts on white-tailed kite and bald eagle. Policy NR6A: Preserve watercourses, vernal pools, ri- parian habitat, and wetlands in their natural state to the extent feasible. Fully mitigate unavoidable adverse impacts such as wetland filling or disturbance. The Project shall obtain all required permits and mitigate the permanent loss of streams, wetlands, and other wa- ters through the purchase of mitigation credits at an agency approved mitigation bank at a minimum 1:1 ra- tio, or through onsite/offsite habitat restoration at a 3:1 ratio, or other ratio required by the permitting agen- cies. Policy NR6E: Strive to conserve all "special -status spe- cies" within the Planning Area. Ensure implementation of statutory protection for these species. The Environ- mental Design Features in Appendix A require the Pro- ject applicant to obtain necessary state and federal per- mits, either pay off-site mitigation fees at an approved mitigation bank, or complete protocol surveys neces- sary to verify the absence of vernal pool fairy shrimp.

CALIFORNIA 2.1 INTRODUCTION The Specific Plan Area consists of one zoning dis- trict: Regional Commercial District (RC District) (see Figure 2.1). Permitted uses in the RC District include retail and commercial uses intended pri- marily to provide goods and services to residents and visitors to the City of Redding as well as resi- dents of the broader region. Development flexibility is created through a wide range of permitted and conditionally permitted uses, which anticipate the current and future development market, and development standards which will guide the design of buildings to meet the requirements of users with a commitment to quality architecture and site design.

The warehouse is oriented with the entry facing towards the Intersection of Bechelli Lane and S. Bonnyview Road so that the tire center and loading docks face away from both the existing and potential future residential uses. The fuel facility will be located at the south east portion of the ProjectAr- ea adjacent to 1-5 to limit traffic conflicts between the warehouse parking and circulation and the fuel facili- ty access and queuing. Initially the fuel facility will be developed with 20 dispensers with the ability to ex- pand to 30 dispensers In the future. Parking aisles BECHELLI BONNYVIEW SPECIFIC PLAN REDDING, CALIFORNIA have been oriented perpendicular to the warehouse to allow easy pedestrian access and allow for easy ve- hicle circulation. In addition, 10 recreational vehicle stalls have been included at the north portion of the site near the fuel facility to accommodate recreation- al vehicles and vehicles towing boats and trailers. A pedestrian circulation link has been included from Bechelli Lane within the southern portion of the park- ing lot to provide for the opportunity for pedestrian circulation between the warehouse retail and the re- tail shopping center to the south. The parking lot has been designed with three access drives off Bechelli Lane to assist with dispersing traffic entering and exit- ing the discount warehouse site.

The major retail buildings are arranged to orient their main entry features towards Bechelll Lane. Smaller pad buildings will be ori- ented Internally to the site to frame the street frontages and to allow convenient pedestrian access between buildings to encourage multiple shopping opportunities. Three points of access driveways to the commercial retail are planned, one off S. Bonnyvlew Road and two off Bechelli Lane. The traditional commercial retail compo - rent will be developed in phases as tenants are identi- fied. Given that the ultimate tenant mix and space needs will be undetermined at the time of adoption of the Specific Plan, this component of the Project requires a certain level of flexibility relative to the overall Land Use Plan. While building placement and footprints may slightly change, the basic site design represents the an- ticipated mix of retail and drive-through type uses and their configuration on the site.

The design guidelines are to be used in conjunction with the Land Use Plan, concep- tual building elevations, and conceptual landscape plan in recognition that the Project will be construct- ed in phases, likely over a number of years. It is the intent of these guidelines to provide needed flexibil- ity to respond to changing retail customer and busi- ness requirements, and architectural desires In the community while ensuring that the Specific Plan Area is developed in a cohesive, attractive, and well func- tioning manner. The guidelines are to be used in conjunction with the Development Standards in Chapter 2 and Appendix A, which establish the basic requirements for building setbacks, building height, the permitted and condi- tionally permitted uses and the specific project devel- opment standards found in Table 2.2. Chapter 6 out- lines the Substantial Conformance Review process that will utilize these guidelines to evaluate develop- ment applications in order to make the necessary findings for Project approval.

P 'Y 3.4 LANDSCAPE CONCEPT & GUIDELINES - -�— — • The landscape design can be characterized as contemporary Californian, with native and cli- mate adapted plantings along with natural mate- - - rials to create a modem character for the dis- Outdoor Accent Lighting count warehouse and retail commercial projects. The Project shall be visually unified by the land- scape through a coordinated planting palette, landscape design, and hardscape elements which are coordinated to create a sense of "place" for the development. These Landscape Guidelines are intended to pro - wide a framework for achieving the high-quality landscape character envisioned for the retail commercial portion of the development, which may be developed in phases. The guidelines are not intended to limit innovation, but rather to provide clear direction on design elements that are key to achieving the desired character. The detailed design criteria provided here will sup- port planners, architects and landscape archi- tects in meeting the intent of the Specific Plan. In the case of conflict between the provisions of this Specific Plan and generally applicable City of Redding standards, the provisions herein shall take precedence. Landscape plans submitted with each phase of the Project should substan- tially conform to the Conceptual Landscape Plan (Figure 3.18) General • Vehicle parking and loading docks, when fronting Interstate 5 shall be screened by walls and berming with landscape including vine planting, or a combination of these methods. • Planting areas should be provided between park- ing and roads to provide visual relief in large ex- panses of hardscape. CHAPTER 3 DESIGN GUIDELINES 3-23 D-51 INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS Parking Lot Screening Contemporary Landscape Character Vegetated gioswales CHAPTER 3 DESIGN GUIDELINES 3.24 D-52 • Screening along roads and perimeter driveways should be achieved through siting, berming and landscaping, or any combination of these meth- ods. • Design should be generally consistent with the overall contemporary character of the Project. • Landscape design should include simple plant palettes. Masses of native and climate adapted grasses and clustered tree plantings are encour- aged. There should be a consistency of landscape design throughout the Project Area. Unrelated random placement of plant materials should he avoided. • Sites should be landscaped in order to optimize the aesthetic appeal and comfort for employees and visitors. All portions of a site not devoted to buildings, structures, parking, outdoor storage or paving should be landscaped, to the extent feasi- ble. Landscapes should be designed to reach a reasonable level of maturity within five years. • Trees shall be installed at a minimum size of 24 - box. • Parking lot trees should be provided at a mini- mum of one tree per 4 spaces.

It also provides infor- mation for construction and financing of the roadway and infrastructure improvements. Development of the Specific Plan Area will require the construction of roadway improvements and installation and reloca- tion of new infrastructure and public improvements. The Specific Plan is designed to implement and con- struct these improvements based on the require- ments of the City of Redding and Caltrans as appropri- ate. Public improvements necessitated by development in the Specific Plan Area will be constructed by a combi- nation of the City and Project developers. Impact fees associated with traffic improvements and connection to existing infrastructure improvements shall be col- lected through the City's development impact fee program prior to each individual building receiving its final inspection or occupancy permit. The costs of the Specific Plan improvements constructed by the Pro- ject developers may qualify as a credit to the Impact Fees subject to any credit and reimbursement agree- ments and/or development agreement(s) entered into between the City and the Project developers. The roadway and Infrastructure improvements re- quired to serve the Specific Plan Area are listed in Appendix A, Environmental Design Features. All road- way and Infrastructure improvements constructed by Specific Plan Area developers will be subject to ade- quate security requirements, such as bonds, letters of credit, or other forms of security, as deemed reasona- bly necessary by the City to ensure the satisfactory construction of said infrastructure and performance of any associated obligations, including applicable warranty and maintenance.

Bonnyview Road, a 4 -lane east/west arterial road ex- tending along the southern property boundary and providing access to the freeway, and Bechelli Lane, a two to four -lane north/south arterial road fronting the western property boundary (see Figure 4.1). Develop- ment of the Specific Plan Area will require Improve- ments to the existing road network as set forth in Ap- pendix A, to add lanes, sidewalks, and bicycle facilities as generally noted below. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list, but rather provides a summary of the Appendix A improvements that will be the re- sponsibility of the discount warehouse and retail com- mercial components, either through making a fair share contribution or constructing the improvements. • Widen Bechelli Lane and South Bonnyview Road to City of Redding standards along the property front- age. The improvements will add one travel lane and one tum lane, three Project driveways, sidewalks, bicycle lane, and other street improvements such as street lighting. • Construction of roundabout improvements at the intersection of South Bonnyview Road and Bechelli Lane. • Improve the "Blue Shield" traffic signal to accom- modate a major driveway entrance into the pro- posed Project. • Add additional lanes to the Interstate 5 southbound and northbound off ramps to provide additional storage and dedicated turn lanes. • Restripe to provide additional through and tum lanes on the Interstate overcrossing to accommo- date projected traffic movements. • Construct traffic calming features on Loma Vista Drive and Construct a traffic signal at the Bechelli Lane intersection. • Contribute to Chum Creek Road/Hartmeyer Lane intersection improvements through payment of fair share fee. • Contribute to the reconstruct the Churn Creek Road/Rancho Road/Victor Avenue intersection into a single lane roundabout through participation in the City/s Traffic Impact Fee program, including improvements to the Huntington Drive intersection and Churn Creek Road corridor. The roadway improvements for the Specific Plan Area have been designed to enable safe access and use by a D -5S RECHELLI aONNYVIEW SPECIFIC PLAN REDDING, CALIFORNIA variety of users including pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles and trucks. Pedestrian improvements include sidewalks along the property frontages, a Class II bicy- cle path along S. Bonnyview Road and Bechelli Lane frontages which connect with existing bike lanes to allow for alternatives to motor vehicles which also connect with the City's existing bicycle path network. 4.3 UTILITIES The following utility infrastructure improvement are required to adequately provide services to the Specific Plan Area for water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, gas and electric, solid waste disposal, and internet and phone. Each of the utilities will be discussed in detail in the following sections. 4.4 POTABLE WATER The 10" waterline and easement will be abandoned and replaced with a new 12 -Inch water line that will connect to the existing water main in Bechelli Lane and traverse eastward generally along the ProjecCs north property line to connect with the existing wa- terline crossing the Interstate 5. (see Figure 4.2). A 12' stub will be provided to residentially zoned prop- erty to the north. The potable and fire service water to the discount warehouse will be provided from the relocated water line. The southern portion of the site will have a pota- ble and private fire loop directly from Bechelli Lane and S. Bonnyview Road (see Figure 4.2). 4.5 WASTEWATER Wastewater generation has been calculated for both Average Dry Weather Flow (ADWF) and Peak Wet Weather Flow (PW WF) for the Specific Plan Area. The existing 18" sanitary sewer main within Bechelli Lane has been determined to have enough capacity for the projected wastewater Rows for the Project. A series of sanitary sewer lines and manholes will gravity flow from each of the buildings and connect to the sewer main within Bechelli Lane (see Figure 4.2). Grease interceptors and a sand oil separator for the discount warehouse, Pad 1, and Pad 2 have been pro- vided as required for the food service uses within these buildings per the requirements of the City of Redding (see Figure 4.2).

The north portion of the site drains to the north. A portion of the site, northeast corner, drains to the east to 1-5. The southeast Corner of the site drains to an existing pipe under S. Bonnyview Road to the south, and the southwest corner of the site drains to the existing storm drain- age system at the intersection of S. Bonnyview Road and Bechelli lane. The proposed drainage has been designed to mimic the distribution of post - project runoff to those 4locations, using storm - water quality basins and additional "vault" deten- tion to maintain pre -development flow rates. The proposed grading of the Specific Plan Area has been designed to drain to a series of storm water basins located within the parking field as well as at the perimeter of the parking lot. The storm water basins will not only provide for storm water quality treatment but will also function as detention basins to meter storm water flows to maintain pre - development flow rates. Storm water catch basins will be located within each of the basins which will connect to a series of storm drainage pipes that will connect to the exist- ing storm drainage improvements. The southeast portion of the site will connect to an existing cul- vert near the corner of S. Bannyview Road and the Interstate 5 southbound off -ramp. The southwest portion of the site will connect to an existing storm drainage manhole at the corner of S. Bonnyview Road and Bechelli Lane. The northern portion of the site will connect to an existing storm drainage near the northern property boundary within Bechelli Lane. Roof and a portion of the parking lot drainage from the discount warehouse will be di- rected to the existing culvert that crosses Interstate 5 after passing through the aforementioned treat- ment/detention facilities. The proposed storm water design also includes below -grade "vault" system to provide additional storage for detention. As noted above drainage into these facilities will not exceed that which occurs in the property's un- developed state. D-60 aECHELtI aONNYVIEW SPECIFIC PLAN REDDING, CALIFORNIA 4.7 STORM WATER QUALITY Storm water quality management has the following goals: • Assist new development in reducing urban runoff pollution and hydromodification to minimize water quality impacts. • Provide standards for developers, design engi- neers, agency engineers, and planners to use in the selection, design, and implementation of City's generally applicable site design and storm water treatment measures (SWTM(s)) for compli- ance with the City's municipal separate storm water sewer system (MS4) permit. The SWTMs are frequently referred to as Low Impact Devel- opment (LID) features. • Provide maintenance procedures to ensure that the storm water treatment measures will be maintained to provide effective, long-term pollu- tion control. LID is an approach to managing storm water runoff that mimics the natural pre -development hydrology of the site by using design techniques that infiltrate, filter, store, treat, evaporate, and detain runoff close to the source. Almost all areas of the site design can incorporate LID measures. LID measures can be in- corporated into open space, streetscapes, parking lots, sidewalks, and medians. LID features can be used in combination with traditional storm drain sys- tems to infiltrate the smaller, frequent storms, while allowing the larger storms to flow into specific flood control structures (possibly with lower off-site costs than traditional non -LID systems). LID features re- duce the amount of runoff entering the City's storm drain system and can play a vital role in recharging underground aquifers. Development in the Specific Plan Area will be in accordance with the City of Red- ding's ed- ding s generally applicable post -construction stand- ards plan, as may be amended from time to time. Best management practices (BMPs) in the generally applicable past -construction standards plan will be implemented in the design of the Project, as appro- priate, to comply with the applicable MS4 permit. Compliance with the most current, generally applica- ble standards and best practices will help the Project achieve compliance. CHAPTER 4 STREETS AND UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE 4.5 d INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE DIRECTLY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS 4.8 DRY UTILITY SYSTEMS Electrical service to the Project area will be supplied by Redding Electric Utility (REU) and installed in accordance with its service plan requirements. Natural gas will be provided by Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E). Tele- phone and internet services can be provided by a variety of vendors including AT&T, Comcast, and Charter. Existing electric utility facilities in the Project Area con- sist of REU underground 12 kV and lower distribution voltage facilities along Bechelli Lane and the S. Bonnyview Road frontage. A 4" gas line within Bechelli Lane will provide services to the various buildings on the site (see Figure 4.3). New distribution conduits and conductors will be placed underground in a joint or common trench. Vaults and boxes placed in the roads or public utility easements, and other equipment, will be provided in accordance with the REU's service plan. The joint or common trench will include gas, phone, fiber optic and cable TV facili- ties, and such other equipment and facilities as deter- mined by the City and responsible utility companies. 4.9 SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL The proposed land uses in the Project Area will generate additional solid waste. The City of Redding Solid Waste Utility is the service provider for the collection, transpor- tation and disposal of refuse and garbage, including the collection of recyclable material. Uses in the Project Area will be required to incorporate the following sustainability measures for solid waste' • Reuse and recycle construction and demolition waste (including, but not limited to, soil, vegetation, concrete, lumber, metal, and Cardboard). • Provide storage areas and trash enclosure(s) per City of Redding Solid Waste Utility for recyclables and adequate recycling containers located in public areas. CHAPTER 4 STREETS AND UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE 4-6 D-61 4.10 CONSTRUCTION PHASING Construction within the Project Area is expected to occur in multiple phases. The discount warehouse and initial 20 dispenser fuel facility will be construct- ed as a single phase and will include the warehouse parking and associated landscaping and improve- ments- The expansion of the fuel facility to 30 dis- pensers could be constructed as a future phase, at the developers option. Development of the retail commercial at the south- ern portion of the site may be constructed as a single phase or multiple phases to respond to market Condi- tions. It is anticipated that rough grading and installa- tion of the main driveways and utility infrastructure components to serve this Project component will occur with the first phase of construction, at the de- velopers option - 4.11 MAINTENANCE The Specific Plan Area consists entirely of private property (i.e., the boundaries do not include adjacent streets), although public utilities do traverse the site as indicated in the sections above. The City of Red- ding is responsible for maintaining those public facili- ties within established public service easements as well as the external public street system (excluding right-of-way landscaping). Private maintenance re- sponsibilities of the Project to include the following: • Driveways, parking lots, and pedestrian paths; • Directional signage and pavement markings; • landscaping and lighting on private property; • Property line walls, fences, refuse storage areas, and signs; • landscape and median within the right-of-way of City streets which may be subject to a Landscape Maintenance District assessment; • Detention facilities, bioswales, and other low - impact development features; and • Private on-site utility systems.
