Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April ll, l985. He stated that the applicant has requested the rezoning of a parcel located at lll3 Echo Road from "R-l" Single Family Residential District to "R-2" Duplex District. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. He noted that the existing structure is a two-story duplex which is used as a single-family residence. Mr. Perry added that the residence was illegally converted to a duplex and does not meet Building, Zoning, or Parking Code requirements. Since that conversion in l977, there have been two subsequent owners. Mr. Perry stated that staff feels that Council has the discretion to classify the property either "R-l" or "R-2" even though the General Plan shows a single-family density. The site is on the line between the two. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the negative declaration be ratified and an ordinance be offered for first reading, provided that prior to the second reading and adoption of the ordinance, an agreement is recorded to have the structure meet the requirements of the Building Official, meet the off-street parking requirements, and pay applicable fees. Fred McCullough, l620 Victor Avenue, owner of the subject pro- perty, stated that he attempted to sell the property when this illegal conversion surfaced. He said in order to relieve the prospective buyers from the problem, he took the property back and refunded their money. Mr. McCullough said he wants to get the property into legal use.

Council Member Demsher noted that he does not like the precedent this is setting and added that he wished there were some recourse against the person responsible for the illegal conversion. Council Member Pugh emphasized that with proper Code enforcement this might not have happened. He said hopefully, with the new Deputy City Attorney, this can be avoided in the future. PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-7-85, by City of Redding (L-0l0-230) The hour of 7:30 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-7-85, by City of Redding. 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 April ll, l985 The City Clerk advised that two written protests have been submitted to Council from Ruth Dennett and Mr. & Mrs. James Moore. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April ll, l985. He stated that the Planning Commission has unanimously recommended rezoning of City-owned land located adjacent to Airpark Drive from "R-l" Single-Family Residential District to "U-F" Unclassified, "Rl-Bl0," and "CO-Bl5-F" Districts. Mr. Perry pointed out that Council declared the subject property as surplus on March l8, l985, with the exception of Lots l, ll, and llA, subject to several conditions. One of those conditions was that the property be rezoned. It is the recommendation of staff and the Planning Commission that zoning be as follows: Lots Zoning l through l0, l2 through l8, and 36 through 46 "CO-Bl5-F" l9, 20 and 2l through 36 "Rl-Bl0" ll and llA "U" Unclassified Open-space areas "U-F" It is further recommended that the negative declaration be ratified and that staff be directed to prepare an ordinance. Dan Heleniak, 2384 Sonoma, said he and many of his neighbors are watching the development of this area very closely. He said they are concerned about traffic volume and speed and that it be handled correctly. He said he is pleased with the proposed project but hopes the City will take a close look at landscaping and fencing requirements. Mr. Perry stated that whether or not Sonoma will be extended has not been determined as yet. Sam Mangone, 2362 Sonoma, was concerned about traffic on Sonoma. He said there are many children on Sonoma and there is no place for them to play so they play in the Street. He asked that the City take that into consideration when designing the street. Terry Knapp, 9l5 Sierra Vista, said he owns the medical building at 2650 Edith, adjacent to the property in question. He asked that Council take into consideration the protection and concerns of the homeowners and those who might construct offices on that parcel of land. He felt through traffic on Sonoma would be adverse and he favored a cul-de-sac on Sonoma to keep the commer- cial area separate from the residential. Mr. Knapp also en- couraged that the development be aesthetically compatible with the existing buildings.

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 April ll, l985 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been re- ceived and the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April ll, l985. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended approval of a request to delete access from Eureka Way for PD-3-84. He said the appli- cants had recently received approval of PD-3-84 allowing l20 dwelling units on property located on the south side of Eureka Way, generally between Sunset and Overhill Drives. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry noted that if granted, the project's sole access would be Foothill Boulevard. Mr. Perry said it is the opinion of staff that Phase l can proceed without access; however, Phases 2 and 3 are somewhat isolated. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that Council delete access to Eureka Way, except for a pedestrian walkway, and that Condition Nos. 28 and 35 be modified to require that Foothill Boulevard be developed to a point within 700 feet of Buenaventura Boulevard, facilitating a second point of access. It is further recommended that an ordinance be offered for first reading. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Council Member Pugh abstaining Council Member Gard recalled that this development went through a long, involved hearing process and a second access was a condi- tion of approval. She said she does not agree with betting on future development for a second access. Ms. Gard said she feels very strongly about two accesses, especially in a subdivision in this type of terrain. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Fulton, Mr. Perry advised that the main reason for deleting the second access is the expense of constructing a road in this rocky terrain down to Eureka Way. He also pointed out the speed of traffic on Eureka Way and site visibility. Public Works Director Arness also noted that this would create a "T" intersection rather than a four-way intersection which diminishes capacity.

City Attorney Hays advised that the City is in the process of extending its electric utility system, including the development of a ll5 KV transmission line on the eastern side of town.

Mr. Hays indicated that the Westlakes will allow a default to be taken in their case. It is the recommendation of the City Attorney that Council adopt a resolution authorizing him to proceed to condemnation for the easements across the property of the property owners involved. John Sebanovich, ll6 Grape Canyon Drive, Folsom, said he is concerned about aesthetics, decreased property value, the poten- tial for injury and/or accidents, and decreasing the tax base for the land. He is also concerned about radio transmission and hazards to the public due to falling power lines. He said it is in the interest of the public to preserve life and sustain economic life in the area.
