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 Senior Planner Keaney reviewed the staff memorandum to Council dated October 4, l985, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that the Planning Commission approved an amendment request by the developers of the Mule Ridge Subdivision to revise the access require- ments imposed upon the tentative map. Mr. Keaney advised that subse- quent to the Commission's decision, an appeal was filed by Gerald Gibson, a nearby property owner. Mr. Gibson is appealing the Com- mission's decision to allow development of an additional five lots with access via only South Ridge Drive with the first phase of devel- opment. Mr. Keaney explained that the Commission felt that an in- crease of five lots to a total of 20 would not create a significant increase in traffic impacts and therefore approved an additional five lots. It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be denied and the action of the Commission be upheld. Mr. Keaney added that South Ridge Drive is a stub street that has always been intended to serve the property to the east. The project will eventually have four points of access and staff does not feel that access to 20 lots on an interim basis will create unusual traffic problems. Gerald Gibson, 200l South Ridge Drive, submitted a petition opposing the amendment, signed by 40 home owners of Parkwood Estates. He said they would have no objection to the development if the proposed extension of Liz Way to Lema Road were completed, as another means of access. Mr. Gibson stated that there are over 70 small children along the present access route. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Demsher sympathized with the neighbors but felt the Planning Commission and staff have carefully studied this issue. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Pugh, Mr. Keaney replied that staff and the Commission felt that the addition five lots would cause an insignificant increase in traffic impacts. He advised that the original condition recommended by staff restricted the number of lots to l5. Mayor Kirkpatrick pointed out that Liz Way has been a stub street and the people who purchased property in Parkwood Estates had reason to believe that it would be opened up when new development occurred. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Fulton that the appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-6-84, be denied. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Demsher and Fulton Noes: Council Members - Pugh and Kirkpatrick Absent: Council Members - Gard This motion failed. MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Fulton that the appeal be upheld and the amendment to Tentative Subdivision Map S-6-84, Mule Ridge Estates, be denied.

(L-0l0-390) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re appeal of Use Permit UP-l04-85, by Acme-Wiley Corp. 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 Senior Planner Keaney advised that a representative of Acme-Wiley Corporation has advised staff that he will be out of town for this hearing and asked that it be continued.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Abandonment Application A-9-85, by John Meamber and Howard McCartin (A-0l0-l00) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatraick opened the public hearing re Abandonment Application A-9-85, by John Meamber and Howard McCartin.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Amendment to Sections l8.20.020 and l8.20.030 of the Redding Municipal Code Pertaining to Signs in the "CO" Commercial District (L-0l0-500-050) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatraick opened the public hearing re amendment to the Redding Municipal Code pertaining to signs in the "CO" Commercial District. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission recommendation dated October 3, l985 Senior Planner Keaney reviewed the staff memorandum to Council dated October 3, l985. He stated that the Planning Commission has unani- mously recommended an amendment of the "CO" Commercial Office District to permit, with restrictions, both externally and internally illu- minated signs. The amendment was initiated by the Commission at the conclusion of a public hearing on rezoning property located at l975 Placer Street from "CO" to "R-4." As an alternative, it was the opinion of the Commission that rather than process a rezoning to accommodate an illuminated sign for a bail-bond office, it would be preferable to modify the "CO" District. It is the recommendation of the Commission and staff that the negative declaration be ratified and an ordinance be offered for first reading. Kirt Reichel, representing Godfather Bail Bonds, said it was dis- covered that the "CO" District does not allow illuminated signs, as other districts do. He said staff was instructed by the Planning Commission to review the "CO" District to bring it into conformance with other districts. Mr. Reichel said the amendment was initiated because of the sign for Godfather Bail Bonds. He said he concurs with the recommendation. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Pugh that Council make the following findings relative to Amendment to Sections l8.20.020 and l8.20.030 of the Redding Municipal Code per- taining to signs in the "CO" Commercial Office District: 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 Planning Commis- sion on September l0, l985. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Fulton offered Ordinance No. l744 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Sections l8.20.020(D) and l8.20.030(F) of the Redding Municipal Code, pertain- ing to signs in the "CO" Commercial Office District. PUBLIC HEARING - re Issuance of Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Bonds by the Housing Authority of the City of Redding for Hartnell Associates Ltd. (Farr Capital Corp.) (H-l50-300) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re issuance of multifamily mortgage revenue bonds by the Housing Authority of the City of Redding. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Housing Administrator Maurer reviewed the staff memorandum to Council dated October l, l985. She advised that the Housing Authority has adopted a resolution conditionally providing for the issuance of revenue bonds to finance construction of a multifamily housing devel- opment, located at 30l Hartnell Avenue (River Oaks Retirement Center). She advised that the Housing Authority will be considering the sale and issuance of $5,000,000 of multifamily housing revenue bonds in support of this project. It is recommended that the Council hold this public hearing on behalf of the Housing Authority, and continue action on the resolution until October 2l, l985. She noted that she has not received all of the documentation necessary for adoption of the resolution. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Pugh that the public hearing be closed.

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 Affidavit of Posting - Resolution of Intention Senior Planner Keaney advised that it is the recommendation of staff that the public hearing for A-8-85 be continued indefinitely and that it be renoticed at a later date. City Attorney Hays suggested that the application be abandoned and reset the hearing when staff has worked out the details of the appli- cation. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Pugh that the public hearing for Abandonment Application A-8-85, by Home Fabrics, be closed and renoticed at a later date. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes APPLICATION TO SELL ON CITY STREETS - The Hornet's Nest (L-070-600) Council Member Demsher stated that the High School District has an interest in this matter, but he has no personal conflict of interest and intends to vote. Deputy City Clerk Strohmayer submitted a request and application from Rinda Husted, co-owner of The Hornet's Nest, for a permit to operate a mobile luncheon wagon on City streets. Also submitted were memos from the Deputy City Attorney, Director of Public Works, and Director of Planning and Community Development. Ms. Strohmayer advised that, according to the Municipal Code, permission is required from the City Council for this request. Since this is not a public hearing, Mayor Kirkpatrick asked Council if they would like to hear testimony from concerned parties on this matter. Council agreed to hear testimony. Bob Sewell, 3ll3 Dove Street, said he and his son own three six-plexes adjacent to the school parking lot. He said he has had the oppor- tunity to observe the Hornet's Nest during the lunch hour. He pointed out the excessive speeds and the heavy traffic on Churn Creek Road. Mr. Sewell contended that 40 to 50 students stand alongside and beyond the lunch wagon. He said they block driveways, damage the landscap- ing, eat lunch and leave litter on his property. Mr. Sewell also pointed out that the generator used by the lunch wagon is very loud. He emphasized that, if this is allowed, the City would be a party to creating a traffic hazard and public nuisance. Mr. Sewell agreed that the owners of the lunch wagon have an invest- ment to protect; however, he has a much larger investment in his business and has paid licenses, taxes, and fees that the mobile business is not required to pay. He pointed out that his insurance rates may be increased because of this hazard. Mr. Sewell advised that all his investments have been made in the City of Redding and he plans to continue to invest in the City. He urged Council to consider those with permanent businesses and urged Council to vote "no" on the application. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Fulton, Mr. Sewell advised that the lunch wagon was not parked on the Sewell property, but on the street in the front of his property. Scott Hepburn, principal of Enterprise High School, said he has observed the lunch wagon and has many of the same concerns as Mr. Sewell. He stressed that the road is very narrow in some areas and the congestion caused by these students forces them to go into the traffic. He is also concerned about the noise factor caused by the generator. Mr. Hepburn also expressed concern for their cafeteria. He said they have cut back in order to maintain it and presently serve 700 to l,000 students per day. Mr. Hepburn said many of the students walk off campus for lunch. He indicated that some students leave in their vehicles but not without some type of special permit. He emphasized that the cafeteria business is greater when the lunch wagon is not serving and he is concerned about that kind of competition. Mr. Hepburn asked that Council deny the request. Dwight Husted, 2235 Oxford Drive, co-owner of the Hornet's Nest, said the students are not anywhere near the road when they patronize his business. He said they are not blocking sidewalks or on private property. Mr. Husted stated that the students immediately go back to campus after making their purchases. He emphasized that they have a trash box in the area and, after lunch, the area is policed by his employees and trash is picked up. Mr. Husted said he appreciates Council's concern for safety and stressed that safety was one of his original motivations to start this business. He said they were surprised at the great number of students who chose to buy food off-campus and they want to encourage the students to stay close to the campus. He said the pictures taken by the City do not represent his normal location and that he moved to that location for one day to sell some excess food. Mr. Husted re-emphasized his concern for the students' safety. Richard Gilman, l230 Canby, Apt. l23, said the Circle K store was surprised that the lunch wagon was shut down, and indicated that their business did not suffer much. He said students loiter in front of the Circle K and Mr. Gilman urged Council to consider the lunch wagon as an alternative to the students walking to that area. Rick Sewell, l000 Hawthorne, concurred with his father's comments. He said if this type of business is allowed, he is afraid the problem will get out of control. Kenneth Hanson, l230 Canby, Apt. 87, said he has noticed that there is a lot of traffic on Churn Creek Road. He pointed out that the owners of the Hornet's Nest are trying to shorten the distance from the school to the other markets, which reduces the risk factor for the students. Mr. Hanson stated that many other businesses have the same type of generators and there is not much of a noise factor. He said he has helped pick up trash after lunch and much of the trash has been from other markets. He said the area is supervised by parents which is another benefit. Ester Montgomery, 3222 Churn Creek Road, stated that her home and tri-plex are directly across the street from the lunch wagon. She pointed out that she rented an apartment to a nurse who slept in the daytime. Mrs. Montgomery stated that the generator compares to a motorboat or motorcycle and is very annoying for three hours a day. She said she appreciates what they are trying to do but feels this is the wrong place. Mr. Husted noted that the generator was mounted on the tongue of their trailer and was very noisy. But, now it is in the back of the van. Helen Husted, 2230 Oxford, stated she is a senior at Enterprise High School and has seen the traffic problems. She said many of the students don't drive off campus as much because of the food in her father's trailer. Ms. Husted said he has been good about picking up litter and the service is fast. Council Member Pugh expressed concern about using the streets for any type of business. He feels it is a traffic hazard for those travel- ling the street as well as for those who plan to patronize the busi- ness. He added that this business is a nuisance to the neighborhood. Mr. Pugh stressed that approval of this permit would allow anyone, in concept, to set up a mobile wagon anywhere in town. He emphasized that the City needs to increase its enforcement if this is occurring now. He pointed out that peddler's permits issued by the City Clerk's office are different from this request in that they allow a business to travel from place to place on private property and to sell to the owners or occupants of that location only. Council Member Demsher said he agrees with the comments that the lunch wagon is there to serve the students; however, this extends beyond a mobile lunch wagon. He said cities have a great deal of trouble with street vendors, and added that mobile businesses don't have the same fees as permanent businesses. He said that other businesses do not enjoy that advantage. Council Member Fulton said he is in accord with the concept of not allowing this. Mayor Kirkpatrick said he has seen mobile lunch wagons in town but they are on private property. MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Demsher that the application by Rinda Husted, co-owner of the Hornet's Nest, to sell on City streets, be denied. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes APPOINTMENT OF VOTING DELEGATE - Annual Congress of Cities (L-040-l50-400) MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Pugh that Barbara Gard be appointed as voting delegate to the Annual Congress of Cities, December 7-ll, l985, in Seattle, Washington; and that the Mayor be authorized to appoint any other member of staff or Council as an alternate delegate. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ORDINANCE - re Preliminary Financing for Transmission Agency of Northern California (E-l20-250) MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Fulton that full reading of Ordinance No. l742 be waived and the City Attorney be instructed to read the full title. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Demsher that Ordinance No. l742 be adopted, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding authorizing the Transmission Agency of Northern California to issue revenue bonds, notes and other evidences of indebtedness. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Fulton, Pugh, and Kirkpatrick Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Gard Ordinance No. l742 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. STATUS REPORT ON ANNEXATIONS (A-l50) Senior Planner Keaney presented a status summary of active annexations and potential annexations that will be considered at some point in the future. He said the summary represents all phases of the annexation process and identifies various timeline problems that occur along the way. This was an information item and no action was required. RESOLUTION RE ANNEXATION NO. 83-6 - Highway 44/Old Oregon Trail (A-l50-l64) Senior Planner Keaney reviewed the staff memorandum to Council dated October 3, l985, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that Council directed staff to obtain current costs to extend electric service to the Argyle Estates area and to install a City standard fire hydrant system. Subsequently, a letter was received from LAFCO stating the following: l. If the City wants to renegotiate the property-tax exchange agreement, it must file a request to do so with LAFCO and renego- tiate the tax-exchange agreement with the County within l5 days or the annexation shall automatically terminate. 2. If the City does not want to renegotiate, then the annexation will be processed pursuant to the existing tax exchange agree- ment. The deadline given is when the County Department of Public Works prepares a revised boundary description, but no later than October ll. It is the recommendation of staff that a resolution be adopted agree- ing to tax exchange revenues for an inhabited annexation. Mr. Keaney noted that the question of fire hydrants can be dealt with when residents want electric service. The adopted plan of service provides for property owners to extend electric lines. Council Member Fulton asked what percentage of property owners in Argyle Estates have voted for annexation. Mr. Keaney stated that the petition for an assessment district to upgrade the fire hydrants did not get the necessary percentages. Council Member Fulton noted that he has received some negative input from the area about annexation. Council Member Demsher felt that the residents would be in favor of the annexation if it were not for the cost of the fire hydrants. He said the assessments would be $5,000 to $6,000 per lot. Mr. Keaney concurred that the comments from the few residents at the LAFCO hearing were not opposed to the assessment district but to the amount. Mayor Kirkpatrick said he feels the area should be included; however, the property tax spread does change it and make it an inhabited area. He said LAFCO has changed the situation from the original request. Council Member Pugh questioned the influence on the City's fire rating if this area is annexed with its current water system. Council Member Demsher stated that the other thing for Council to consider is what the City wants in terms of planning over the next l5 or 20 years. Council Member Pugh said he believes the City needs to be more aggres- sive about obtaining the property so that it can be developed to City standards. Mr. Demsher expressed the concern that in previous annexations, the cost factors have always been known prior to annexation. He felt this places some residents in a situation where they don't want to be. He said, in the past, it has been the City's intention to supply electri- city. Mr. Pugh noted that in past instances, there has been an up-front issue about the costs. And, in this case, at least the residents can deal with the question of fire hydrants when they want electric service. Mr. Demsher agreed that the residents in Argyle Estates have the option and in that sense, they have an advantage. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Pugh, that Resolution No. 85-222 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding agreeing to exchange of property tax revenues for inhabited Annexation No. 83-6 (Highway 44 and Old Oregon Trail Area). Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Fulton, Pugh, and Kirkpatrick Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Gard Resolution No. 85-222 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. RESOLUTIONS RE ANNEXATION NO. 85-9 - Fig Tree Lane (A-l50-l77) Senior Planner Keaney reviewed the staff memorandum to Council dated October l, l985. He stated that Council referred this annexation request to various departments for comment and to the Board of Admin- istrative Review. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Keaney explained that all of the parcels in this proposed annexa- tion are classified as "Safety Areas with Acquisition Option" on the Redding General Plan. Three of the four parcels have been acquired by the City for that purpose and the remaining parcel is currently under private ownership and has a single-family dwelling unit. Mr. Keaney stated that ultimately, this parcel will also be purchased by the City for the Airport Safety Area. It is the recommendation of staff that Council commence annexation proceedings by adoption of a resolutions authorizing commencement of proceedings and the exchange of property taxes. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Pugh that Council make the following findings relative to Annexation No. 85-9, Fig Tree Lane: l.
