PUBLIC HEARING - re Proposed Amendment to the "C-l," "C-2," and "C-3"
Districts Concerning Minimum Parcel Size
(L-0l0-500-050)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the

concerning minimum parcel size.
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 3l, l985
The City Clerk advised that no written protests were received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated October 3l, l985. He stated that the Planning
Commission has recommended amendment of the sections of the City Code
pertaining to minimum lot areas, widths, and depths in the "C-l,"
"C-2," and "C-3" Commercial Districts.
Mr. Perry explained that the City's Commercial Zoning Districts presently have varying minimum parcel sizes. It is the opinion of the Commission and staff that an increase in the parcel size requirements
in the "C-l," "C-2," and "C-3" Districts will help to facilitate user
convenience and help promote attractive commercial development by
creating parcels of marketable size and reducing the adverse impacts
of small-lot commercial development. It also reflects the existing
situation. He outlined the recommended minimum acceptable standard
for the City's Commercial Districts (excluding the recently adopted
"C-6" District and the "C-4" Retail Core District, which requires no
on-site parking).
It is the recommendation of the Commission and staff that the negative
declaration be adopted and an ordinance be offered for first reading.
Council Member Gard asked Mr. Perry to send a copy of his report on
this matter to the League of California Cities.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Gard
that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Gard
that Council make the following findings relative to amendment of
Sections l8.22.050, l8.24.050, and l8.26.050 of the Redding Municipal
Code:
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.

sion on September 24, l985. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Sections
l8.22.050, l8.24.050 and l8.26.050 of the Redding Municipal Code,
pertaining to commercial districts.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION - re City of Redding Christmas Tree
(M-050 and A-050-080)
City Manager Courtney advised that, at the October 2l, l985, City
Council meeting, it was suggested that the large City of Redding
Christmas tree be located at the Auditorium in the lawn area. The
Greater Redding Chamber of Commerce Christmas parade begins and ends
at the Auditorium, and a Christmas tree at this location would compli-
ment this event.
Mr. Courtney stated that a cut tree would not be feasible to be placed
in the lawn area of the Civic Auditorium because heavy equipment would
be required to place the tree. He felt that one of the best alterna-
tives would be to plant a live tree and decorate it at Christmas time.
Mr. Courtney pointed out that the parade is only a one night per year
event, whereas the placement of the large tree in the Downtown area is
an event that has a great deal of tradition and significance. He also
noted that the Auditorium is a rather unpro-tected site and there has
been a history of minor vandalism in the area.
Mr. Courtney said, one of the alternatives considered was the purchase
of a 50-foot artificial tree at a cost of $l4,500, which could easily
be installed and taken down each year.
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the large community
tree be installed in the Downtown area.
Council Member Gard said she talked to Bruce Harrison from the Down-
town Merchants Association, who explained to her that it would be
difficult to take the equipment needed onto the lawn of the Audi-
torium. She was opposed to the artificial tree and felt the matter
should be referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission. She said
there is also a possibility of putting a tree on the roof of the
Auditorium but she realized that nothing can be done this year.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton that the placement of a Christmas tree at the Civic Auditorium
be referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission and that the
Commission work with Bruce Harrison of the Mall Association. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
REPORT RE RENT CONTROL IN THE CITY OF REDDING
(A-050-250-075)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated October 29, l985, concerning the issue of rent
control in the City of Redding. He advised that the report is in
response to Council's request for additional information on the
matter. Mr. Perry explained that historically, rent control has
evolved as a result of rapidly appreciating property values and
rapidly escalating rents in areas where housing availability is at a
minimum.
Mr. Perry reviewed the League of California Cities Housing Policy
Statement of l983, which states that all new construction should be
exempted from rent controls. He stated that it is the opinion of
Housing staff that there has not been a dramatic increase in rents in Redding over the past twelve months. Mr. Perry felt that this community does not have comparable economic
conditions to those urban areas that have experienced high rents and have adopted rent controls. He said the Redding market has a healthy
rental vacancy rate and affordable rents to the average citizen. It
is the opinion of staff that there is no justification to warrant
initiation of rent controls in this community.
This was an information item and no action was required.
Council Member Gard complimented Mr. Perry on the report and said that
the League took the position it did because they have found that rent
control discourages construction.
RECOMMENDATION RE STILLWATER SEWER TREATMENT PLANT
(W-0l0-560)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated October 3l, l985, which is incorporated herein
by reference. He stated that a copy of EIR-l-84 for the proposed
Stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plant was previously submitted to
Council. He reminded Council that the Planning Commission certified
the EIR and recommended Site C as the best site for the Treatment
Plant.
Mr. Perry stated that the purpose of EIR-l-84 is to identify and
evaluate impacts of constructing a wastewater treatment plant in the
area generally located south of the Redding Municipal Airport and
north of the Sacramento River between Churn Creek and Stillwater
Creek. He said Site C is identified by the consultant who prepared
the Draft EIR, the staff, and the Planning Commission as the preferred
site. Mr. Perry outlined the reasons for recommending this site.
Mr. Perry added that a very extensive mailing list was used for
notices of meetings including every property owner in the study area
and all agencies involved have been invited to comment on the site.
He emphasized that the City has exceeded the requirements of CEQA for
this project.
Mayor Kirkpatrick advised that a letter was received from the Mayor of
Anderson asking that a public hearing be scheduled to resolve some of
the concerns with the site and EIR. City Clerk Nichols read the
letter into the record.
Mayor Kirkpatrick stated that he felt Council has had more than enough
public hearings to resolve the issue and it is time to move on and
make a decision.
Council Member Pugh agreed and emphasized that there has been substan-
tial public input on the site. He said everything has been addressed
which is what the process is deemed to do.
Council Member Fulton stated that although two public hearings have
been held at the Planning Commission level, no public hearings
have been held at the Council level. He felt that possibly staff has
not given full justice to the other possible sites and felt it would
be desirable to allow the people to speak to Council directly.
Council Member Gard said she felt the Planning Commission did a very
thoughtful job and have gone the extra mile. She felt nothing would
be accomplished by another public hearing since all issues have been thoroughly studied. MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Gard that the Final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA; and,
that the Final EIR was presented to the City Council and that the City
Council reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final
EIR prior to approving the project. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Gard
approving development of a Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant at Site
C and directing staff to proceed with acquisition of Site C-l/C-2 as
identified on page l and figure 3 of the Draft EIR.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Gard, Pugh, and Kirkpatrick
Noes: Council Members - Fulton
Absent: Council Members - Demsher
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Gard
that the recommended design guidelines be approved.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Gard, Pugh, and Kirkpatrick
Noes: Council Members - Fulton
Absent: Council Members - Demsher
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Gard
that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated
into the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant
environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Gard, Pugh, and Kirkpatrick
Noes: Council Members - Fulton
Absent: Council Members - Demsher
Council Member Pugh thanked the Planning staff, the Planning Commis-
sion and everyone involved for their thoroughness on this project. He
reminded that this is a regional plant not a City of Redding plant and
that the program was put together by a regional board and was part of
the regional plan. He said part of the plan was designed so that no
additional lines would be placed across the Sacramento River.
Council Member Gard remarked that at the time the regional plan was
discussed, it was decided that the City of Redding should be the lead
agency.
Jim Harrison, Rt. l, Box 2962 Anderson, property owner near the site
said this is a sad day for Shasta County. He felt that the project
was handled badly and remarked that he was lied to by the Planning
staff two months ago. He said he was assured that there wasn't any
need to attend the Final EIR hearing because there would be other
public hearings. He felt there were many things that were not ad-
dressed in the EIR.
Earl Boese, 36ll Riverside, said the City does not realize the costs
involved that will be necessary to acquire the surrounding properties.
He felt the Airport site would have been much better.
PUBLIC WORKS PLANNING REPORTS - November l985
(A-050-300)
Public Works Director Arness presented the Public Works Planning
Reports for November, l985.
REPORT RE REMAINING TREATMENT PLANT CAPACITY - Redding Regional
Wastewater Treatment Facility (W-0l0-450)
Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated
October 23, l985. He stated that the flow at the Clear Creek plant
has reached 75% of capacity and it would appear that the plant would
be at capacity in five to seven years. Mr. Arness advised that the
State requires the senior administrative officer to submit a report to
the California Regional Water Quality Control Board indicating that
the City has reached the 75% threshold with a description of the
proposed program to deal with the eventuality of the plant being full.
Mr. Arness stated that the current five-year plan illustrates signifi-
cant amounts of money being spent for infiltration/inflow correction
and the addition of a treatment plant in the Stillwater basin, which
would extend the life of the Clear Creek plant by redirecting flow
from that system to the proposed Stillwater plant.
Mr. Arness advised that staff is currently reviewing additional
benefit zones that would cover not only "build out" system benefits
but also phased treatment benefits to the new user. We propose that
these benefit zones will provide a significant part of the funding for
