Letter from Rufus Knapp et al - re Lights at Softball Park
(P-050-600-200)
A letter was received from Rufus Knapp and residents of Hillcrest
Street expressing concern about the bright lights at the ball field at
the corner of Parkview Avenue and Akard Street.
Council Member Gard asked the Recreation and Parks Director about the
problem. She felt the problem had been addressed at one time.
Recreation and Parks Director Riley advised that adjustments were made
to the lights last year; however, this created a problem with the
players by causing dark spots in the field. He said shields were
installed to decrease the glare but not to the satisfaction of Mr.
Knapp.
Council Member Gard emphasized that the problem affects everyone on
Hillcrest Street, not just Mr. Knapp. She said possibly some changes
should be considered in the hours of use of the ball park or install
more effective shields.
Council Member Demsher recommended that the Recreation and Parks
Director prepare a written report for Council's next meeting with
suggestions on how the problem could be solved. He also asked that
Mr. Riley contact the neighbors for their suggestions.
Mr. Riley suggested that after installation of the shields, the matter
could be referred back to the Recreation and Parks Commission for a
recommendation to Council. Council Members concurred.

Your Future" weeks. Police Chief Whitmer expressed his full support
of the proclamation and noted in his memorandum to Council that the
Redding Police Department has a very active enforcement program for
driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Chris Bauer of MADD, addressed Council and summarized the program.
She advised that this is a statewide project of the California Highway
Patrol and all local law enforcement agencies were participating in
the program as well. She emphasized that their goal is to have no
alcohol or drug related deaths during this period, through this
program.
Mayor Kirkpatrick commended the program and felt the problem is very
serious and deserves the support of the City Council. Council Member Demsher concurred and pointed out that there have been some good press releases and other media coverage about this growing problem and it is in the public interest and in the interest of the
City to support the program. He said that drinking among teenagers is
becoming more serious and it would be appropriate for Council to
approve this proclamation.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AGREEMENT WITH U.S. BUREAU OF RECLAMATION - re
Operation of the Whiskeytown Power Project
(E-l20-070-825 and F-200-200-050)
Electric Utility Operations Manager Ryan reviewed the Electric Direc-
tor's memorandum to Council dated May 2, l985. He stated that,
submitted for Council's consideration is a resolution authorizing the
final license and agreement between the City of Redding and the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) for the construction, operation, and
maintenance of the Whiskeytown Power Project. Mr. Ryan explained that
on February 2l, l985, the City executed a temporary agreement with the
USBR to allow the City to begin construction of the Whiskeytown Power
Project; however, the temporary agreement expires on June l, l985.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution
authorizing the Mayor to sign the agreement documents. Mr. Ryan noted that Paul Capener, Project Superintendent from the USBR, is in the audience to present the final agreement documents to Council and to provide Council with additional information regarding the agreement.
Paul Capener of the USBR said the City of Redding and the USBR have
worked very hard to reach this point in the Whiskeytown Power Project.
He reviewed a number of points in the document that Council should be
aware of such as the determination of the releases and maintenance of
the service road, etc.
Council Member Gard noted that the City has had a very good working
relationship with the USBR and this agreement is another step in that
direction.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Gard that Resolution No. 85-89 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding approving the license and agreement
between the City of Redding and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for the

SET JOINT STUDY SESSION WITH PLANNING COMMISSION - re Flood Plain
Zoning
(L-0l0-500-050)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recommended that a
joint study session of the City Council and the Planning Commission be
scheduled to review the proposed flood-plain zoning as mandated by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency. He suggested that this study
session be held at 7:00 P.M., Monday, May
l3, l985, in Room l25 at the
Civic Auditorium.
Council Members concurred with the suggested time and date.
PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Use Permit UP-60-84, 98-Bed Skilled
Nursing Facility at 3062 Churn Creek Road
(L-0l0-390)
The hour of 7:30 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the
public hearing re appeal of Use Permit UP-60-84, 98-bed skilled
nursing facility at 3062 Churn Creek Road.
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 May 2, l985
The City Clerk advised that a number of protests and a number of
letters favoring the project have been received, as well as petitions
in favor and opposed.
Senior Planner Keaney reviewed the Planning Director's memorandum to
Council dated May 2, l985. He said the Planning Commission considered revocation and amendment of Use Permit UP-60-84, granting Coastal Care
Centers permission to construct a 98-bed skilled nursing facility
(SNF) at 3062 Churn Creek Road. At the conclusion of the hearing, the
Commission found that development of the property for housing the mentally disabled was consistent with the prior approval as a conva-
lescent hospital.
Mr. Keaney explained that subsequent to the Planning Commission
decision, a letter was received appealing the decision. He outlined
the events leading to the appeal now before Council. Mr. Keaney
stated that some of the concerns raised about the proposed SNF in that
location were safety hazards to school children, traffic, noise,
parking, inadequate design, and possible changes in State guidelines
for SNF facilities.
Mr. Keaney stated that the Council could either uphold the appeal and
revoke the use permit, or deny the appeal, which would allow construc-
tion of the facility.
Mr. Keaney emphasized that staff feels the emphasis should be on
whether or not this is an appropriate location for the proposed use,
not whether or not a facility is needed in Redding/Shasta County. He
said the City's role is to establish setbacks, parking, building
height, etc., and not to establish design standards for the SNF.
Betty Dillon, l809l Ranchera Road, representative of the Alliance for
the Mentally Ill, said their organization is attempting to inform the
community about the mentally ill. She said they want their family
members to be treated near home in a suitable location. She felt that
the Churn Creek location is a suitable location. Ms. Dillon favored
approval of the project.
Earl Miller, 6484 El Camino Drive, retired Shasta County Public
Guardian, was in favor of the project. He said, in his capacity as
Public Guardian, he transported many mentally ill patients to various
facilities and never felt threatened by the people in his care and he
main-tains social contact with many of them. He is distressed by the
position of the people who are opposed to this facility.
Mr. Miller referred to the letter from the administrator of Crestwood
Manor, a SNF in Eureka for the mentally ill, which answered numerous
questions posed by Debra Helm, an opponent of the Churn Creek fac-
ility. He emphasized that many of the responses are subject to
interpretation.
Mr. Miller pointed out that there will be a traffic control signal at
the intersection of Churn Creek and Hartnell, and he doesn't feel
traffic will be a problem. He felt that this type of project will
generate less traffic than an office or professional building. Mr.
Miller felt the area and design is adequate and recommended Council's
approval of the facility.
Fred Johnson, Director of Health Services for Shasta County, compli-
mented staff on their thorough and unbiased position in presenting the
facts.
Dr. James Broderick, Community Mental Health Services Program Direc-
tor, 2652 Hospital Lane, advised that accompanying him this evening is
Linda Arenchild, the Director of the State Mental Health Social
Services, to answer any questions Council may have.
Dr. Broderick explained schizophrenia as one of the most complicated diseases known to man and added that when these patients are treated
properly, they get better. He emphasized that skilled nursing facil-
ities are more closely regulated than any other type of hospital. He said they cannot promise that there will be no problems but they will
work to make this the best mental health facility in Shasta County.
Billy Terry, l7563 Happy Hills Road, said she is the mother of a
2l-year old mental patient who is in Napa. She said they try to go
visit him once a month; however, if he could be close to home, they
could visit him much more often. She emphasized the need for family
support for the mentally ill and added that there are many mentally
ill people who are never treated or institutionalized.
Mary Ann Campbell, 445 Arbor Place, Chairman of the Mental Health
Advisory Board, stated that the need for this facility in our com-
munity has been established and a Certificate of Need has been issued.
She said many of the people who will be patients at the SNF are people
who are now being treated as out-patients. Ms. Campbell noted that
there are probably people in the neighborhoods around the Churn Creek
site who are mentally ill, who have not been identified or sought
help.
Tom Sutton, Executive Director of Coastal Care Center, said he has
been serving this area for the last ten years. He referred to the
Crestwood Manor facility in Eureka and to a petition of businesses
nearby who have experienced no problems from the patients there. Mr.
Sutton presented a sketch of the Eureka facility and pointed out the
similarities between that facility and the proposed facility on Churn
Creek. He noted that Mr. Weller, Administrator of Crestwood Manor in
Eureka, is a former employee of Coastal Care Centers. Mr. Sutton also
pointed out that on February 22, l985, they were awarded a Certificate
of Need from the State for the Redding facility.
Mr. Sutton disagreed with the Redding residents that their property
values would decrease and noted that the Eureka facility is developed
with very nice offices and residences nearby. He said the Redding
facility will employ approximately 90 employees, full and part time.
Mr. Sutton explained that there will be a complete security system
plus locked doors and they hope that patients will not be able to
climb over the fences.
John Wotring, 726 College Avenue, Santa Rosa, said he has worked with
Coastal Care Centers for a number of years and they are a fine organ-
ization. In terms of the safety issue, Mr. Wotring said there is
actually less incident of wrong-doing in this type facility than there
is in the community as a whole. He said there will be all ages of
patients but the average age tends to be young. He said they will not
care for infants or children. Mr. Wotring referred to the State Code
requirements for care centers and stated that, because of the involved
certification requirements, Coastal Care Centers will not apply for an
alternate location as this would entail starting all over again and
would involve a great deal of expense. Mr. Wotring empha-sized that
any facility in the City of Redding, which is licensed as a SNF, could
provide this service at will and there would be no Use Permit pro-
cedure.
Joann Diffenbeck, Patients Rights Advocate, said she is speaking on
behalf of the mentally ill in favor of the facility since, they do not
have the self esteem needed to come before the Council themselves.
Robert Harding, 420 Redcliff Drive, Attorney representing the doctors in offices adjacent to the proposed site, said there has been con-
sider-able discussion about the need for this type of facility and
because of the overwhelming need for this facility, the facts have been distorted about the location. He pointed out that the Churn
Creek area is already very congested and noted the parking problems
experi-enced at the North Valley Fitness Center. Mr. Harding said that
staff felt North Valley Fitness Center had a good location; however,
they have since encountered many problems with parking and congestion.
He noted that Churn Creek Road is very heavily travelled, and when it
is widened, on-street parking will be eliminated.
Mr. Harding said he has determined that Coastal Care Centers does not
operate any other locked facilities at this time. He referenced a
letter sent to Council Members from Mr. Dobbins, President of Crest-
wood Hospitals, Inc., which indicates that they operate ten locked SNF
facil-ities. He said Mr. Dobbins indicated that they typically have 32
to 35 employees for the day shift for this size facility. Therefore,
Mr. Harding questioned where the guests of the patients would park.
Mr. Harding also pointed out that nobody from the mental health
community was consulted about selecting a site.
Mr. Harding reported that many people who are admitted into these
facilities have a history of violent behaviors and are sent here for
long-term periods. He pointed out that at the Planning Commission
meeting Dr. Broderick stated that criminal offenders, patients with
violent behavior, and sexual offenders, could not be admitted. Mr.
Harding questioned the accuracy of that statement.
Mr. Harding noted that this facility will also serve nine other
counties. He emphasized the importance of outdoor recreational
facilities for these patients and noted that the proposed SNF only
allows about l/l0 acre of recreational area. Mr. Harding re-minded
that Mr. McDonald from the Sacramento Crestwood facility felt recrea-
tional facilities are critical. Mr. Harding agreed that the facility
is needed but felt the space is inadequate and felt the potential is
very great for problems. Mr. Harding asked that the use permit be
revoked.
Council Member Gard asked Mr. Harding if a regular convalescent
hospital or acute care facility would admit convicted felons. Mr.
Harding replied that he believes they would. He said the proponents
made the statement that criminals would not be admitted; however, the
screening process is made by the administrators who may not be aware
of the patients' previous records.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Demsher, Dr. Broderick
replied that they cannot totally state that someone with a criminal
background could not be admitted. He said his earlier comment was in
reference to the State Penal Code, i.e. the criminally insane.
Mr. Harding speculated that people who are considered to be eminently
dangerous can be admitted to this facility and a tremendous amount of
trust is put in the health care provider.
Gib Goetz, ll55 Mistletoe Lane, Superintendent of the Enterprise
School District, said the School Board members have agonized over
their position on this issue and their concern is primarily the
location of the facility. He emphasized that the Eureka facility is
located in a medical center, several blocks from a school. He said
nobody has given any assurance that patients would not be potentially dangerous to the students. Mr. Goetz asked that the permit be re-
voked. Dr. Navaz Kaleel, a psychiatrist at the U.C. Davis Hospital, said he has worked with patients at locked facilities and is in favor of this
type of facility when they are in need. He said there are many types
of mental illnesses, and patients do express anger and are sometimes
volatile. Dr. Kaleel pointed out that the proposed site does not have
a yard area to walk around--an area to become defused. He said the
screening process of patients is difficult and a facility of this type
needs the cooperation of the neighborhood. Dr. Kaleel noted that the
younger age of the patients points out the greater need for an activ-
ity area. He said mentally ill patients as a whole are not dangerous
but, unless carefully screened, there could be problems.
Johnny Rose, School Street, said the average speed limit is exceeded
all times of the day and night and the congestion could be a real
problem in case of an emergency. He said the area is getting real sad
to live in.
Patricia Goodyear, School Street, said she lives across from North
Valley Fitness, and the noise level is already high due to heavy
school bus usage, fire engines, residents, users of the medical
facilities, excessive speeding, and people using School Street to
bypass Churn Creek. She asked how the patients could be expected to
get better in this type of environment. She emphasized that School
Street cannot handle anymore traffic and felt the Planning Commission
should protect their property.
Ms. Goodyear urged Council to find that this is not the proper place
for a mental facility.
Dr. Bob Bertoldi, 3l50 Brent Avenue, said he spoke with Skip McDonald
from the Crestwood Manor in Sacramento who said that recreational
facilities are vitally needed in this type of hospital. He said the
escape rate is much higher when these facilities are not provided.
Dr. Bertoldi said this may be a good facility for geriatric patients
but not for the younger age patients.
Dr. Brent Collins, 3ll0 Churn Creek Road, said there is a tremendous
need for recreational facilities for these people. He said the Eureka
SNF has 85 beds on a much larger lot, plus a vacant lot next door is
used for baseball games and other sports. He noted that in Eureka, 43
parking spaces are provided for an 85-bed facility, plus unlimited
on-street parking. Dr. Collins said he has talked to the Circle K
employees in Eureka who indicated that they have had numerous problems
with the patients from the SNF, and other businesses in the area have
also had problems. He said they indicated the need to call the police
department three to five times a month with problems with the pa-
tients. He pointed out that there is only one school near the Eureka
facility which is six blocks from the hospital. Dr. Collins felt the
patients should be placed in an area where they can be properly
treated.
Margaret McMahan, psychiatric nurse, said she has seen all types of
mental patients and there are many other types besides schizophrenic.
She said their behavior is unpredictable and when they are locked up
in a small area, they become more disturbed. Ms. McMahan pointed out
that these patients get very noisy at times and she does not feel that
the proposed facility would be a positive environment for them. She
favored a mental facility but felt it should be placed where the patients can be adequately cared for and where there is room for expansion. Dr. Sterling Finn, 306l Churn Creek Road, said his concerns about traffic have been well covered this evening. He voiced concern about
the hundreds of school children who congregate in this area on their
way to and from school. He said this area is used as a social meeting
place. Dr. Finn expressed his dissatisfaction with the planning
process and the presentation by the proponents. He felt the propo-
nents presentation was glossed over and did not address the concerns
of the opponents.
Debra Helm, ll59 Echo Road, a concerned parent, said her daughter is
l3 and must walk to and from Parsons School every day, past the
proposed facility. She expressed her concern about the children
attending six schools within area. She felt that mental patients are
unpredictable and there is a great potential for bodily injury. She
also pointed out that this will put an extra burden on the Redding
Police Department and asked that the use permit be revoked.
Tom Riley, 3333 Adams Lane, said he agrees there is a need for the
facility but did not feel this is the place for it. He said the
traffic on Churn Creek and School Street is very bad. He felt that if
a facility is truly needed in Redding, we will get one at a suitable
location.
Lydia Kidner, ll35 Gordon Lane, said she does not understand how the
Planning Commission could have approved this permit, given the magni-
tude of the problem.
Patrick Moriarty, 2350 Beverly Drive, Director of the Stillwater
Learning Program, said some legitimate concerns have been expressed
about the size of the facility and the traffic; however, what the real
fear is, is the fear of the mentally ill. He felt the points raised
by the opponents could be resolved. Mr. Moriarty pointed out that
Crestwood Manor is a competitor of Coastal Care Center and there will
be problems wherever this type of facility would be located.
Millie Lyman, l872 Vale Dr., said she has been in a locked facility
and has transported mentally ill patients. She has never been afraid
of them and feels they have as much right to convalesce as any other
patients.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Gard that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
In response to an question from Council Member Gard, Mr. Perry advised
that the facility does meet and exceed the City's parking code.
Council Member Demsher stressed that there are some obvious concerns
such as traffic on School Street and parking. He said, in reviewing
the parking at other similar facilities, he finds that very few
parking lots are full or even half full. He said the recreational
facilities are something that the City does not have control over and
would have to be decided by the Coastal Care Center. Mr. Demsher
expressed that everyone has apprehension about dealing with the
mentally ill; how-ever, in his dealings with schizophrenic children,
they have not presented a threat to anyone. He did not feel that
school children walking to and from school is a major concern, since
the security is good and the patients are normally not dangerous. He
said the Shasta County Mental Health out-patient facility is near his
home and these patients walk by his neighborhood and they have never had a problem. Council Member Gard stated that this is a land use issue. She empha-
sized that the zoning is appropriate and the parking requirements meet
the Code. She said she has concerns about the recreational facilities
but noted that the City cannot control that. Ms. Gard expressed the
hope that these discussions do not set back the community's feelings
toward the mentally ill and emphasized that this is a sharing and
caring community.
Council Member Fulton observed that this is a very difficult decision
and he is concerned about the students in the area. He said there is
no question that Shasta County needs a mental health facility. He
said his main concerns are the lack of recreational facilities and the
location.
Mayor Kirkpatrick said he drives down Churn Creek Road and School
Street almost on a daily basis and he recognizes the traffic con-
gestion in that area. He also noted that there are no sidewalks in
the area. Mayor Kirkpatrick felt that parking, safety of school
children, and traffic are the primary issues. He also noted that
there is inadequate area for exercise.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Demsher that the appeal of Use Permit UP-60-84, be denied and that the
98-bed skilled nursing facility at 3062 Churn Creek Road, be approved.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Fulton, and Gard

PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-5-85, by Echo Moran
(L-0l0-230)
The hour of 7:30 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the
public hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-5-85, by Echo Moran.
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 May 2, l985
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and
the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated May 2, l985. He stated that the applicant has
requested rezoning of property located at 2669 Heather Lane from "U"
Unclas-sified District to "RM-9" Multiple-Family Residential District.
A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and Council was given a
copy of the negative declaration.
Mr. Perry explained that Heather Lane and other streets in the area
are substandard, and dedication to achieve the standard 60-foot
right-of-way only occurs as adjacent properties develop. He said the
vehicle for obtaining the needed right-of-way in already subdivided
areas is the use permit, and the Unclassified District requires a use
permit for virtually all new development. Mr. Perry pointed out that
if rezoned, the use permit and street dedication would be circumvented when the parcel is developed. It is the recommendation of the Commission and staff that RZ-5-85 be
denied and the property retained in the "U" Unclassified District.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Gard, Mr. Perry indi-
cated that the RM-9 zoning district needs to be reviewed, as time
allows.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Demsher that Rezoning Application RZ-5-85, by Echo Moran, be denied.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-l-85, by Fred Morrison
(L-0l0-230)
The hour of 7:30 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the
public hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-l-85, by Fred Morrison.
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 May 2, l985
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and
the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated May 2, l985. He stated that the applicant has
requested the rezoning of property located at l464 Victor Avenue from
"U" Unclassified District to "RM-9" Multiple-Family Residential
District. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph.
Mr. Perry explained that the Planning Commission recommended approval
of the applicant's request for "RM-9" zoning; however, the staff's
recommendation was for denial or in the alternative "R3-40" Multiple--
Family zoning.
It is the Planning Commission's recommendation that the property be
rezoned to "RM-9" Multiple-Family Residential District. If Council
concurs, the recommendation should be approved, the negative declara-
tion be ratified, and staff be instructed to prepare an ordinance for
the next meeting.
Mr. Perry pointed out that the zoning district most closely parallel-
ing the General Plan, in terms of density, is the "R3-40" District
which would allow seven units on the property. He said this is the
exact number of units the General Plan would allow if area credit is
given for half of the existing Victor Avenue right-of-way. If net
area is used, the General Plan allows only six units; whereas the
requested "RM-9" District would allow up to a 242-percent increase in
density.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Gard that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Fulton that RZ-l-85, be denied as requested, and that staff be in-
structed to make a recommendation to Council concerning "R3-40" zoning
on the property, including the right-of-way needs for Victor Avenue.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-2-85, by Donald Hampshire
(L-0l0-230)
The hour of 7:30 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the
public hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-2-85, by Donald Hampshire.
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 May 2, l985
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated May 2, l985. He stated that the Planning
Commission recommended rezoning of approximately l4.8 acres generally
located at the north end of Saint Mark Street between July Way and the
Southern Pacific Railroad from "R2-RT" Duplex to "R3-40" Multiple--
Family Residential District. A map of the area was shown on the Vu
Graph and Council was given a copy of the negative declaration.
It is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and staff
that RZ-2-85 be approved as outlined, that the negative declaration be
ratified and an ordinance be offered for first reading.
Ed Ewing, owner of property at 3822 Patterson, said he is concerned
about the uncertainty of the roadway. He also expressed concern about
landscaping requirements and asked if it is possible to require
property owners to maintain their landscaping.
Mr. Perry advised that the stated intent of the request is to develop
a multiple-family project; however, there is no guarantee that is what
will be built. He said the City does require areas to be landscaped,
but there is no provision for maintenance. Mr. Perry stated that July
Way is stubbed into the subject property at this time and several
options could be adopted for the roadway.
Carolyn Ewing, 3822 Patterson, said there are l5 "stick built" homes
and 23 mobilehomes in this area and she does not feel that it would be
good land use to zone the property as multiple-family. She said she
is not in favor of multiple units on the property.
Jim Chicone, 3833 Patterson, said he would not be opposed to duplexes,
but would be opposed to anything more intense.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Fulton asked what the applicant's intent is for the
property.
Mr. Reichel, representing the applicant, Donald Hampshire, responded
that they plan for 56 dwelling units and a pre-school. He added that
all ingress and egress will be on St. Marks and not on July Way.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Gard, Mr. Perry advised that up to 60 units would be allowed on the property if the rezoning
is approved. He added that, in order to tie the applicant to the stated intent, a development agreement would have to be included in the rezoning, or a planned development would be required.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Kirkpatrick approving the recommendation of the Planning Commission
and staff for RZ-2-85; and, that Council make the follow-ing findings
relative to Rezoning Application RZ-2-85, by Donald Hampshire:
l. Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan.
2. Project will not significantly alter existing land form.
3. Project is compatible with surrounding land use.
4.
Project is compatible with the Code of the City of Redding,
California.
and, ratify the Negative Declaration approved by the Board of Adminis-
trative Review on January 30, l985.

nell Avenue from "U" Unclassified District to "RM-l2" Multiple-Family
Residential District. A map of the area is shown on the Vu Graph and
Council was given a copy of the draft negative declaration.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the property
be rezoned to "R3-30-Bl5-F" Multiple-Family Residential District, and
that the 2.03 acres of flood plain be classified in the "U-F" Unclas-
sified District with the site-plan-review criteria to stipulate that
the area is not to be used to determine density nor is it to be
improved. It was the opinion of the Commission that "RM-l2" zoning
was inconsistent with the General Plan.

REVIEW OF KRCR SATELLITE DISH
(T-040-300)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his mem-
orandum to Council dated May 2, l985, which is incorporated herein by
reference. He stated that the Sacramento Valley Television, Inc.
(KRCR) is installing a satellite television dish on property located
at 75l Auditorium Drive.
Mr. Perry said the antenna does not require Council approval, as it is
on a separate parcel acquired by KRCR from Maurice Johannessen;
however, staff felt it would be best to advise Council in order to
avoid any confusion with the property acquired from the City. He
explained that the Planning Commission has approved a variance for the
antenna subject to four conditions. Mr. Perry also explained the need
for the larger antenna and gave a comparison of other television
station's satellite dishes.
This was an information item and no action was required.
VIACOM CABLE VISION - Status Report
(T-040-050)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated May 2, l985, which is incorporated herein by
reference. He stated that, at its meeting of March l8, l985, the City
Council indicated a willingness to consider a request from Viacom to
seek a new franchise agreement with the City, subject to an amended
applica-tion being submitted, which meets the new cable ordinance
standards, and subject to certain conditions.
A copy of a letter from Viacom's attorney was submitted to Council,
and Mr. Perry explained that essentially, Viacom has submitted an
adequate financial statement, is current on fees, has agreed to a
six-month extension subject to the terms of the present franchise, has
agreed to a five-percent franchise fee, and has stated KTVU will be
restored to Channel 2 prior to May l8, l985.
This was an information item and no action was required.
ORDINANCE - re Rezoning Application RZ-l2-84, by City of Redding
(L-0l0-230)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry submitted an ordi-
nance for first reading for Rezoning Application RZ-l2-84, which was
previously approved by Council but was held up pending submittal of a
final map.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the
area be rezoned as outlined and that the ordinance be offered for
first reading.
Council Member Fulton offered Ordinance No. l730 for first reading, an

REQUEST TO SELL BEER - Redding JayCees/Optimist Club
(A-ll0-l00 and P-050-270)
Recreation and Parks Director Riley reviewed his memorandum to Council
dated April 29, l985. He stated that the Redding JayCees and the Optimist Club have requested to sell beer in Lake Redding Park during
the annual 4th of July celebration. Mr. Riley explained that the
Recreation and Parks Commission recommended denial of this request due
to prior alcohol-related problems, and the large number of children in
the park during the event.
In reply to a question from Mayor Kirkpatrick, Mr. Riley advised that
this request was denied last year.
Council Member Demsher emphasized that the request was denied because
of the potential danger involved and difficulty for control.
Mayor Kirkpatrick stressed that the ideals of the Optimist Club are
good but it would be too difficult to control. He felt the permit
process is working as a rule, but this is one situation where it
should not be allowed.
John Phillips, 223l Galaxy Way, a representative of the organization,
pointed out that they do sell beer at the Air Show, and alcohol is
sold at the barbeque and the Rodeo. He emphasized that they are
concerned about the age of people who drink.
Charlie Little, of the Redding Optimist Club, said they have submitted
a change in their charter to change the word "men" to "persons". He
said the profits from this sale will be used to send representatives
to lobby for this cause.
Vince Risola, Past President of the Optimist Club, said the majority
of the money would go to kids.
Council Member Gard congratulated the Optimist Club on their efforts
and wished them success. She said she appreciates the contributions
they make to the City but the use of alcohol in the City parks is a
long standing problem.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Demsher that the request by the Redding JayCees/Optimist Club to sell
beer at Lake Redding Park during the annual 4th of July celebration,
be denied. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

Dr. David Payne, 280 Hemsted Drive, advised Council that on April ll,
l985, a letter written by his associate Bill Woodward, was sent to the
City Council via the City Clerk, in which an appeal was made in the
time and manner prescribed by the Code. He explained that the appeal
pertains to grading, fills and excavations required by the City.
Dr. Payne stated that it appears the appeal has been neglected and not
brought before the City Council, which has caused them additional
expense and delay. He asked that a hearing be set for the next
Council agenda.
Mr. Perry felt this matter would best be served by a public hearing
since it involves CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act).
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Gard that a public hearing be set for 7:30 P.M., May 20, l985, to
consider the appeal of the above-mentioned grading permit. The Vote:
