Thompson
(L-0l0-390)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the
public hearing re appeal of Use Permit UP-l45-85, by Barbara Thompson.
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 December l3, l985
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated December l3, l985. He stated that the Plan-
ning Commission has approved a use permit which grants Kevin Landrus
permission to establish a teen dance club within an existing building
located at l538 Market Street. Subsequent to the Commission's action,
the permit was appealed by Barbara Thompson.
Mr. Perry advised that access to the club would be from the alley
along the west side of the building adjacent to the Mall parking lot.
He noted that several of the conditions of the permit have not been
complied with. He said the most severe of these requirements are the
requirements under the Uniform Building Code that the floor load be
l00 pounds per square foot, that additional restroom facilities be
provided under the Uniform Plumbing Code, and that handicapped access
be provided.
Mr. Perry stated that subsequent to the premature opening of the club
on December 6, l985, the Downtown Mall Association submitted a letter
pointing out several problems encountered with the "private party."
Mr. Perry felt that the downtown area is a good location for a teen
club, particularly where ample public parking is available and there
are no adjacent residences. He noted that there are l38 parking
spaces available for the nighttime businesses in the mall.
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be denied.
In response to a question by Ms. Gard regarding controlling the "in
and out" problem at the club, the City Attorney advised that the City
was involved in a law suit on this issue, and it was the judges
decision that it is unconstitutional to disallow patrons to re-enter
the club once they have gone.
City Attorney Hays advised that the Chief of Police asked him to
express that he supports the Planning Department's recommendation.
In reply to a question from Mr. Pugh, Mr. Perry advised that the total
parking spaces now available is l38. Mr. Perry stated that staff
feels that there may be inadequate parking for the first few nights
but they do not expect parking to be a problem. He said changes can
be made fairly easily if parking becomes a problem.
Tim Mallory, 233 Lake Boulevard, former director of the Redding Teen
Center and member of the Buckeye School Board, commended Council for trying to provide such a place for teenagers to go. He emphasized that teens need a place to socialize and to be a part of our public space. Mr. Mallory said the City's only teen center is in a public
park which closes at 9:00 P.M. He encouraged Council to provide more opportunity for teenagers.
Bob Small, President of the Downtown Mall Association, said they
support new businesses in the mall, in general, and support young
people in the community. He said they are concerned about the congre-
gation outside the mall and in the parking lots as a potential problem
which needs more control. He said adequate restroom facil-ities is
also a problem and merchants are concerned about teenagers getting
inside the mall after closing time.
Barbara Thompson, l229 South Street, said she is not appealing the
club itself, but the location. She noted that they have worked hard
to control the cruise problem in Redding and Ms. Thompson was afraid
that teenagers will be running back and forth between the cruise and
the club. She also expressed concern about noise for the senior
citizens at the Lorenz Hotel. Ms. Thompson felt that another location
would be better.
Jim DeMarco, 2245 Galaxy Way, said he is glad to see that there is so
much support for teenagers and felt this club could revive the Down-
town Mall area. He said business owners are in support of this
business and asked that Council approve the permit.
Jeff Fink, l556 Santa Fe, pointed out that there is a potential for
teenage drinking at any event such as athletic events, but the events
are not stopped because of that possibility. He asked that Council
help this club find an adequate facility.
Ron Kamler, l642 Cunningham Way, Santa Rosa, said they do enforce the
"in and out" rule which says that once a person is in, they must stay
in and once they are out, they must stay out, even if they pay again.
He said there are 30 schools in this community and the kids coming to
the cruise are the local kids as well. He pointed out that they do
not open until 9:00 P.M. rather than 8:00 P.M., which is after the
mall stores are closed. Mr. Kamler contended that he did not hear
about the appeal until Tuesday night on the radio.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Gard that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Pugh suggested that the door be wired with an alarm
system to protect the entrance to the mall.
Mr. Demsher commented that it has been recommended by staff that there
be security people (three) to patrol the parking lot. He suggested
that there should also be security people inside the mall itself to
help with some of the concerns Mr. Small mentioned.
Mr. Demsher said he does not believe this club will reduce the cruise,
and is entirely a separate activity.
Council Member Pugh said the cruise has changed from only high school
kids to many older people.
Council Member Gard emphasized that the Building Department require-
ments would have to be met before any opening can occur. She said
there isn't enough for teenagers to do in this town but stressed that the operator must operate in a responsible manner. Ms. Gard stated that Mr. Kamler exhibited bad judgement by opening prematurely. City Attorney Hays commented that, if Council decides to deny the appeal, that it suspend the issuance of the use permit until the
conditions are met.
Mr. Demsher suggested that people be required to enter when they
arrive and not be allowed to loiter outside. Mr. Pugh asked about the
controls over loitering in the parking lots.
Discussion ensued regarding enforcement of these rules and the City's
grounds to revoke the use permit based on the nature of the activity.
City Attorney Hays replied that these are all Constitutional questions
and are speculative at this time.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Demsher that the appeal be denied; and, that an addition be made to
Condition No. 5 to require a security guard inside the mall; and, that
the interior door be wired with an alarm system; and, that the use
permit be suspended until all conditions are met and that the six
month trial period commence at the time that all conditions are met.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Mr. Demsher noted that the parking issue may have to be dealt with at
a later time.

Property
(C-070-0l0 and C-070-200)

west corner of Butte and East Streets.
With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Kirkpatrick referred this
matter to the Traffic and Parking Commission and the Planning Commis-
sion.
PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Conditions of Approval of Use Permit
UP-l27-85, by Lee Fuller
(L-0l0-390)
Council Member Pugh abstained from voting and discussion on this
matter.
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re appeal of Use Permit UP-l27-85, by Lee Fuller. 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 December l2, l985
Senior Planner Keaney reviewed the staff memorandum to Council dated
December l2, l985. He stated that the Planning Commission upheld an
appeal to the approval of Use Permit UP-l27-85 by revising the condi-
tions of approval. Use Permit UP-l27-85 grants Lee Fuller permission
to construct an amateur radio antenna that can be raised to a height
of 50 feet on property located at 6532 Lucerne Court, in an "Rl-B2"
Single-Family Residential District. The applicant then appealed the
Planning Commission decision.
Mr. Perry advised that the applicant wishes to have the potential of
raising the tower to 7l feet. The Planning Commission restricted the
size of the tower because they felt the size or bulk of the proposed
structure is not consistent with a residential neighborhood.
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal of Mr. Fuller be
denied.
Don Anderson, Attorney for the applicant, l388 Court Street, Suite D,
said he agrees that the City has the right to regulate, but the
question is what is reasonable. He said use permits should be looked
at on a case-by-case basis. Mr. Anderson reviewed the history of the
application and explained that a building permit was issued for the
foundation of the tower. He suggested that Mr. Moss has a conflict of
interest and should not have participated in the hearing because the
appellant of the B.A.R. decision, Mr. Sell, is a lumber broker and Mr.
Moss owns a lumber company.
Mr. Anderson contended that the 50 foot height limitation will not
work for communicating through certain bands. He added that the
City's regulatory grounds are limited under FCC rules and felt it was
appropriate and reasonable to allow construction of the tower of the
width and height requested by Mr. Fuller.
Mr. Anderson said the requirements seem to ignore the safety factor
because of the small base width of the tower. He said their three
main concerns are the City's preemption by the FCC, the safety of the
framework at the bottom of the tower, and the conflict of interest
between Mr. Moss and Mr. Sells.
Leslie Kratz, 72l Estate Street, an officer of an amateur radio
organization, referred to FCC regulations on this matter. He said his
main concern is that he doesn't want the City to set a precedent in
what is primarily a neighborhood dispute. He said this may limit
amateur radio operators' capability for emergency communications. Dr.
Kratz said he was surprised that the City required that the base of
the antenna be reduced and was concerned about the safety of the
tower. He emphasized that they do need and must have proper radio
antennas in the City.
In response to an inquiry from Dr. Fulton, Dr. Kratz advised that
there are several antennas in town which have a telescoping capability
over 50 feet. Dr. Kratz also advised that the higher the antenna, the less interference there is for neighbors. John Varga, 3l8l Lakewood Drive, said he developed this area several years ago and now lives there. He said the lots are quite large and expensive. Mr. Vargo stated that he and the neighbors who signed the
petition are not opposing the antenna but the tower and contended that
the tower was not there when people purchased these lots. He em-
phasized that the City requires developers to put everything under-
ground. He asked that the appeal be denied.
Mike Goldwin, l080 Trinity Street, Engineer for KCLM, said their tower
is 252 feet high and is l4" across at the base.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
City Attorney Hays advised that the FCC has determined that the local
jurisdiction will act reasonably which allows the City some flexi-
bility to regulate.
Council Member Demsher stated that this is an issue of aesthetics and
he shares the concerns of the neighbors about the height of the tower.
He felt amateur radio operators are important in case of emergency;
however, there are several in the City.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Gard that the appeal be denied. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with
Council Member Pugh abstaining
PUBLIC HEARING - re Draft Conservation and Open Space Element
(G-030-070)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the
public hearing re draft Conservation and Open Space Element.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated December l2, l985
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated December l2, l985. He stated that the Plan-
ning Commission has recommended adoption of a draft update of the
Conservation and Open Space Element of the Redding General Plan. A
copy of the Element and a goal statement for the specific plan, the
negative declaration, and other reports were submitted to Council.
Mr. Perry advised that the Planning Commission recommended that the
goal statement regarding Park Marina Drive be included in the Element.
The goal calls for the preparation of a specific plan for riverfront
and lake property along Park Marina Drive between Highway 44 and
Parkview Avenue with the intent being to resolve past land-use con-
flicts concerning pending and future development along this corridor
and plan for the utilization and conservation of the river's re-
sources.
It is the recommendation of staff, the Recreation and Parks Commis-
sion, and the Planning Commission that the City Council adopt the
revised Conservation and Open Space Element. This recommendation
includes the addition of the specific plan goal statement as one of
the measures on page 23 of the Element to be implemented within the next five years. It is further recommended that the attached negative declaration be ratified and that a resolution be adopted. Council Member Gard complimented staff on its tremendous effort on the
Element.
Trygve Sletteland, l666 Ridge Drive, representing the people of
Redding and Friends of the Upper Sacramento (FUS), addressed Council.
He said FUS is a newly formed group of local residents concerned about
land use adja-cent to our City's most precious recreational, scenic,
and biolog-ical resource, the Sacramento River. He submitted a written
statement dated December l6, l985, which is made a part of these
records by reference.
Mr. Sletteland asked that Council see to it that all development in
the area surrounding Kutras Lake be carefully controlled to the best
advantage of our City and all its people.
Kay Morris, 3770 Westgate, asked Council to consider a moratorium on
development in the Park Marina Drive area. She noted that a fill is
going in around Mr. Spaid's house and asked if it is his property or
public property.
Mr. Perry replied that the fill he has seen is preparation for a motel
which has been approved by the Planning Commission.
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 Gard, seconded by Council Member
Demsher approving the recommendation of the Planning Commission and
staff as stated above, including the goal statement for the specific
plan for the Park Marina Drive area. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

Demsher that Council make the following findings re the Conservation

Mr. Perry explained that since l980, staff has been working with the
State Department of Fish and Game and the Wildlife Conservation Board
(WCB) in selecting a suitable river site for a boat-launch facility.
He said both the City and State Fish and Game have placed the highest
priority on the subject site, as it would provide convenient public
access and is large enough for parking and picnic facilities.
At this time, Mr. Perry explained that Mr. Ladd has agreed to accept a
$l5,000 down payment before January l, l986, with the remaining
$75,000 by June l, l986. Should funding from the State be received,
fee ownership would be transferred to the WCB as mandated by State law
under their acquisition program.

acquisition until their Board meets in February. Because of the high
priority assigned this parcel, John Schmidt, Senior Land Agent for the
