Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Fulton, and Kirkpatrick Noes: Council Members - Gard Absent: Council Members - Demsher and Pugh RESOLUTION - Prohibiting On-Street Parking on Certain Streets in the Downtown Area from l0 P.M. to 6 A.M. (P-030-250) Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated March 27, l985. He stated that the City Manager requested recommenda- tions from the Police Department concerning selective parking re- strictions along the downtown streets utilized for cruising. He said the Public Works and Police Departments reviewed potential solutions to reduce the cruising problem. Mr. Arness pointed out that the recommendation of the Police Department is that nighttime parking restrictions be implemented to make less parking available, which should reduce incidents of vandalism, littering, noise, and verbal abuse. Mr. Arness advised that notices were sent to all property owners of record located adjacent to the street segments suggested for nighttime parking prohibition and no negative responses were received. He said the proposed prohibition would be effective from l0 P.M. to 6 A.M., seven days per week. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. It is the recommendation of the Police and Public Works Departments, and the Traffic and Parking Commission that the on-street parking prohibition be approved as shown on the submitted sketch, and that a resolution be adopted approving these changes. Mayor Kirkpatrick stated that he recently spoke to the student councils of several area high schools and several mentioned that they would go and park in the motel parking lots on Hilltop Drive, if necessary. He was also concerned about students moving into parking lots of businesses and taking the parking away from customers. Sgt. Davidson of the Redding Police Department pointed out that the lots that are properly posted have had no problems. In regard to moving the cruise to the Hilltop Drive area, Sgt. Davidson did not feel that it is likely because the speed limits and configuration of that area would not be conducive to such an activity. He felt the loop configuration and slower speed limits in the downtown area is what attracts the students. Some discussion ensued regarding asking motel owners on Hilltop Drive to post their lots as a precautionary measure. Council Member Gard felt that Council should consider banning the use of alcoholic bever- ages in all public places. Sgt. Davidson indicated that the ideal thing about restricting parking is that it is easy to approach someone standing along the street who is consuming alcohol; but if they are inside vehicles, this restricts enforcement efforts. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Gard, Sgt. Davidson replied that other alternatives have been considered to curtail this problem; however, probably the most valuable tool they could possess would be to ban the use of alcohol in public places. Council Members discussed the possibility of contacting motel owners on Hilltop Drive to ask them to post their lots. City Attorney Hays pointed out that this may be asking them to bear a cost they might not want to bear. Public Works Director Arness advised that the cost of the signs is probably about $35 to $50 each. Mayor Kirkpatrick suggested that the Hilltop Drive merchants be contact about posting their lots but that the proposed resolution not be postponed. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Fulton, Mr. Arness advised that no objections from merchants along the downtown cruise route were received. Jack Burlake said he lives in an adjacent residential area and he is concerned about the effect to his property. He questioned the desira- bility of a resolution prohibiting parking. City Attorney Hays felt that if the parking prohibition becomes a problem for adjacent residential areas, the City could institute a permit parking situation such as that on Chestnut Street. Council Member Gard stressed that this has been a concern for some time and the main reason that a parking prohibition has not been instituted sooner. Council Member Fulton felt this is not a solution to the cruise problem. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Kirkpatrick that Resolution No. 85-67 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding prohibiting parking at all times on certain downtown streets between the hours of l0:00 P.M. and 6 A.M. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Kirkpatrick and Gard Noes: Council Members - Fulton Absent: Council Members - Demsher and Pugh Resolution No. 85-67 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.

The sublease is designed to result in a repayment to the members of M-S-R the funds which they have invested in the development of the properties to date. Mr. Hays indicated that SAI would as well become responsible for the obligations under the leases relative to drilling requirements and development of the properties. The sublease allows M-S-R to become the beneficiary of whatever development is undertaken by SAI on the properties. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Fulton that Resolution No. 85-68 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving the M-S-R Geothermal sublease to SAI. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Fulton, Kirkpatrick, and Gard Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Demsher and Pugh Resolution No. 85-68 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. RECISION OF AWARD OF BID - Redding Municipal Airport Security, and Award of New Bid (B-050-l00 and A-090-l00) City Attorney Hays that on February 4, l985, Vantage Security, the apparent low bidder was awarded the contract for the security services at the Municipal Airport. However, because of Vantage Security's inability to provide personnel with the proper training in handling airport security, Vantage was notified that the City would be unable to enter into an agreement with them. Mr. Hays advised that a review of the bid file indicates that Crabtree Detective Agency, Inc. of Addison, Illinois, was the second low bidder; however, they are not licensed to do business in the State of California. It is the recommendation of staff that Council rescind its previous award under Bid Schedule No. l596 to Vantage Security and award the contract for airport security at the Redding Municipal Airport to North State Security. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Fulton that the award of Bid Schedule No. l596, Redding Municipal Airport Security, to Vantage Security, be rescinded; and, that the contract be awarded to North State Security.

The Planning Commission expanded the amendment to include the entire area now being considered. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the Council ratify the negative declaration, approve GPA-l2-84, as depicted on the map entitled "Recommended General Plan GPA-l2-84," dated March l2, l985, and instruct staff to prepare a resolution. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Gard that Council make the following findings relative to GPA-l2-84: l. Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan. 2.

The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission recommendation dated March 28, l985 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been re- ceived. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated March 28, l985. He stated that the Planning Commission has unanimously recommended denial of a request by Gary Stokes to amend the General Plan for property located at the northeast corner of Hartnell and Parkview Avenues. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph, and a traffic analysis and memo from the Traffic Engineer were submitted to Council. Mr. Perry added that for Council to approve the proj- ect, consideration could only occur after either a negative declaration or a supplement to EIR-2-8l is prepared. Mr. Perry explained that in reviewing the traffic analysis, the Planning Commission concluded that projected traffic problems on Hartnell and Cypress Avenues are too severe to encourage addi- tional traffic by expanding the area classified as "Retail." Accordingly, the Commission recommended denial of the project rather than to continue with the environmental review process. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the application be denied. Gary Stokes, applicant, said as far as he is concerned, he did not get a hearing at the Planning Commission. He said it was on the agenda as an EIR and three Commissioners said they had not had a chance to review the traffic impacts, so he left the meeting. Mr. Stokes said the project was originated with the City last year and at that time, they were told they needed to complete a traffic analysis. He said nothing further has been sent to him except the staff recommendation. Mr. Stokes referred to Page 5 of the Traffic Analysis and said the capacity of the streets will not be exceeded as a result of the proposed project. Mr. Stokes emphasized that the amendment request includes only three acres, and of that three acres, only approximately two acres are usable. He did not feel that two acres of retail will cause an intersection to be overloaded. He pointed out that the office building proposed will not be developed as an office and will produce less traffic than planned. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Gard that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Gard commented that the use has intensified from the original concepts of the area. Mr. Perry replied that the uses have been balanced somewhat by some other changes.

MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Kirkpatrick that General Plan Amendment Application GPA-5-84, by Gary Stokes, be denied.

Mr. Perry said the stated intent of the applicant's request is to facilitate development of a proposed 56-unit apartment complex with an on-site, day-care center; whereas, the existing classi- fications limit development of the property to mobilehome parks, single-family, or duplex residential structures to a maximum of 5l units based upon the amount of developable area. It is the recommendation of the Commission and staff that the City Council ratify the negative declaration and approve GPA-2-85 as discussed above and depicted on the map entitled "Staff Recommended General Plan."

Mr. Perry advised that this area provides the option for a park or an open-space easement, depending on the project as it is submitted. Mr. Perry noted that this area may tie into the City's trail program. Mr. Reichel asked if they dedicate this to a park, could they receive a waiver of in-lieu park fees.
