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 February 12, 1987 Community and Planning Director Phil Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated February 12, 1987. He stated that at their regular meeting of January 27, 1987, the Planning Commission recommended rezoning of property located generally at the south end of Hawley Road, west of Churn Creek, and north of Boulder Creek from "U" Unclassified District to "PD" Planned Development District for the development of a 212-unit planned development for mobile homes or manufactured housing. Mr. Perry stated that controversy surrounds the proposed land use; issues such as aesthetics, proposed density, additional traffic, compatibility of the project with surrounding properties, and the potential for residents of the project to be transitory. Mr. Perry stated that the applicant has not requested maximum density, but the Planned Development Ordinance allows for a density above the current General Plan. He stated that the applicant is addressing the need for affordable housing in the Redding area. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff to approve the rezoning subject to the Conditions of Approval for said development. It is also recommended that Condition No. 35 be revised to address the timing of Churn Creek Road improvements beyond the project's entrance road to the southern property line by establishing a per-lot fee for the future extension of Churn Creek Road. If the Council concurs, it is recommended that the negative declaration be ratified and that staff prepare an ordinance for first reading within 90 days. Additionally, the council should find that in accordance with the Government Code of the State of California, the City Council find and declare that, as set forth in Government Code Section 6674, none of the conditions as listed in (a) through (g) exist with regard to this proposed subdivision and that the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Redding General Plan and applicable specific plans. It is also recommended that in accordance with Section 18.36.050 (C) of the Redding City Code that the Council find that the findings necessary to grant bonus units are in evidence. Mayor Fulton inquired if the Planning Commission is satisfied with Condition No. 35 as amended; and Mr. Perry stated that although they have not reviewed said Condition, he believes they would find this to be the answer they have been looking for. Mr. Perry also stated that the Board of Administrative review will be reviewing each lot sold on an individual basis. Council Member Gard stated that a roof overhang should be a mandatory Condition of Approval. Mr. Eihnard Diaz, representing Sharrah Dunlap and Associates, 3161 Bechelli Lane, stated that they have been working with the Planning Commission and staff. They are sensitive to the aesthetics issue and stated that the development will be landscaped on a lot by lot basis, and C. C. & R.s will be developed. Mr. Lee Leonard, a property owner near the proposed planned development, stated that he has a strong, vested interest in this area and believes that the proposed development is not consistent with the surrounding area and adjacent subdivisions such as Quail Ridge and Tanglewood. His concern is with the proposed density and potential traffic problems. Mr. Leonard Nelson, 1325 Walnut Street, represented a group of Hawley Road area residents who are opposed to the development. He stated that they are opposed to a large commercial interest establishing a residential area. Mr. Nelson stated that this venture will not benefit contractors and laborers in this area, but corporations outside this area. Mr. Nelson stated that the current report is inadequate and an Environmental Impact Report should be done to address the complete traffic problem. They believe that the Churn Creek Road completion should be financed by the developer, not the City, and a security fence should be erected around the development. Mr. Dirk Anderson, 1047 Woodside Meadows Drive, stated that as a property owner in Millville, he is concerned with the proposed planned development. He stated that he wants to build a home in Millville and believes this kind of development is not consistent with the area. Mr. Anderson stated that this type of home is difficult to maintain. Mr. Diaz stated that he believes that security is not a problem, there will be wood/post and cyclone fences erected, there will be emergency access, and a homeowner's association established. He indicated that the development will include a combination of manufactured homes and mobile homes on elevated foundations and stick built homes. He stressed that this is not a "mobile home" park, the lots will be individually owned and this is not a commercial venture. Mr. Diaz explained that the idea of small, individually owned lots is new to this area. Mr. Bob Holmes, Golden West Homes, stated that the modular homes they build comply with State Codes and are inspected by State Agencies. Council Member Carter questioned if the standards for modular homes are better and Mr. Holmes replied that the quality of their homes is good and they are strong and flexible to withold the stress of moving. Deputy City Attorney McNeill stated that most mobile homes are built to Federal standards and modular homes must comply with the Uniform Building Code. In response to Council Member Johannessen's inquiry regarding the aesthetics of their homes, Mr. Holmes stated that the industry has matured, but marketing has been unable to keep up with the improvements made. Mr. Alan Hill, BHS Investments, 6870 Churn Creek Road, stated that the homes will be on elevated foundations, have pitched roofs, and wood or masonite siding. Mr. Hill stated that they are also concerned about aesthetics and they will do their best to maintain high standards. Council Member Carter expressed concern over the fact that the C C & Rs will not be a part of the motion tonight and Council Member Gard stated her concern that the C. C. & R.s may not be restrictive enough. Planning Director Perry suggested that they not rely on the C. C. & R.s, but incorporate all requests into the motion. Mr. George Hampton, Redwood Mobile Home Park, stated that mobile home parks are safe, secure and he is proud of the mobile home he lives in. He stated that this area is not a high income area, and this type of affordable housing is desirable. He explained that tenants in the Redwood Home Mobile Park lease spots from a Beverly Hills corporation, and he would like the opportunity to own his own property. Mr. Leland Dells, (Redwood Mobile Home Park) mobile home owner, stated that mobile homes maintenance is available in Redding. MOTION: Made by Mayor Fulton, seconded by Council Member Gard that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes. Council Member Gard stated that as a member of a League of California Cities group, she toured a manufactured housing plant. The committee decided that this type of housing was an important part of making housing affordable.

Mr. Christofferson stated that while the objective is desirable, it would create substantial monetary problems for the City; and if this bill is defeated another is likely to arise that achieves the desirable objectives without the negative side effects. Mr. Christofferson pointed out that the City's position on this bill is significant because Senator Nielsen is a member of the Senate committee on Toxics and Public Safety Management. Council Member Johannessen stated that the intent of SB 269 is correct. Cities should be as conscious as private enterprise with regard to hazardous substances. MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Dahl, opposing SB 269 and directing staff to send letters to Senator Nielsen and the League of California Cities. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Dahl, Gard, and Fulton Noes: Council Members - Johannessen Absent: Council Members - None COMMUNITY ACCESS CHANNEL (T-040-350) Community and Planning Director Perry submitted for consideration the budget for the Community Access Channel based on contributions from Redding and Viacom.

Final budget consideration will occur concurrent with the regular budget. Council Member Gard inquired if this budget will impact general funds. Mr. Perry indicated that the funds will come from the City's Franchise Fees and Viacom Matching Fees. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter, approving in concept the draft budget for the Community Access Channel. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes.

RECOMMENDATION RE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION - Re Sacramento River Trail (P-050-460-700) Planning and Community Director Perry advised that final engineering and plans recently completed for Phases 4, 5, and 6 of the Sacramento River Trail have increased due to additional street improvements necessary to eliminate drainage problems in the new parking lot.

The $275,000 would come out of the Park Development Fund. The State of California will reimburse the City for $151,233 in costs. Mr. Perry stated that if the supplemental appropriation is authorized, the project will go out to bid in March with a construction start date of mid April. Council Members Johannessen, Carter and Dahl expressed their concern about parking problems in the neighborhood adjacent to the Sacramento River Trail.

Staff recommends that, of the options available to Council, Option No. 4 or Option No. 6 be pursued. Mr. Perry also recommended that the City should still reserve the first right of refusal.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR SOFTBALL SITE SELECTION (P-050-600) Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that because of the controversy surrounding the softball complex site selection and the interest shown by the Planning Commission and City Council in developing a regional park, it would be advantageous to budget for an Environmental Impact Report and adequately address the issue of a regional park. Mr. Perry stated that the current Parks and Recreation budget includes $25,000 for the study. Mr. Perry also indicated that the McConnell Estate has requested that the McConnell property not be included in the Request for Proposals.

MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Carter, to exclude the McConnell property from the Request for Proposals in the selection of a softball site.

Ms. Gard stated that it will cost approximately a quarter of a million dollars for three years. She stated that the City is not yet committed; and if we are looking at a regional park concept, perhaps the City of Anderson and Shasta County will contribute funds. Parks and Recreation Director Riley stated that the best site is not yet known; but if a site can be selected, it will enable enthusiasts to go out into the community and solicit funds for the complex. Mayor Fulton stated that authorizing funds for this study would be wise. Council Member Carter stated that interested citizens would work hard to solicit funds. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Carter, to authorize that the Request for Proposals be distributed with a budget of $20,000.
