Redding Firefighter's Association
(P-100-050-050)
Ken Pierce, President of the Redding Fire Fighters Local No.

Union has taken exception to statements made by the City's Chief
Negotiator.
Mr. Pierce reported that said statements are: that the Public
Safety Task Force was nothing more than a political ploy to
pacify certain public interest groups; The City considers
training courses offered through the California State Fire
Marshal's Office insignificant and does not recognize them as
valid training; IAFF has not followed the bargaining process, and
the City does not care if they sign a new contract. Mr. Pierce
stated that IAFF's proposals have been misconstrued to Council,
09/29/87
and the City has refused to participate in the Emergency Medical Technician II program, thus hampering their ability to achieve the fire fighter step three position. Council Member Gard stated that this is obviously outside the process. Council Member Carter expressed his hope that they will return to the bargaining table and the process will move forward.
City Manager Christofferson stated that a tentative settlement
has been reached with IBEW within the guidelines set by the
Council. Mr. Christofferson explained that Electric Department
employees have requested that they be represented separately from

noted that the City has been negotiating with three bargaining
units.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Planned Development Application PD-3-87,
Summerfield Meadows, by Redding Investments (south and west of
Sacramento Drive and east of Lucerne Court)
(L-010-210-705)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the
public hearing re Planned Development Application PD-3-87.
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 September 22, 1987
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that
the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of
Planned Development Application PD-3-87 for the construction of
102 single-family units on 34 acres. The project includes 6.1
acres of common open space.
Mr. Perry noted that the applicant has combined the planned
development with a conventional 21-lot subdivision where the
property fronts and takes direct access off a public street.
Access to all of the planned development lots are from private
streets within the project. Mr. Perry explained that the
developer is contributing towards the future extension of
Creekside Drive to South Bonnyview.
Council Member Gard noted that planned developments allow
flexibility in design and planning, but impact the long term use
of the utility master plan. Council Member Carter concurred.
Cynthia Moore, 6438 Riverside Drive, stated that she is concerned
about high density housing in this area, especially the impact it
will have on traffic. Ms. Moore suggested that the area remain
as zoned on the general plan, two units per acre. She indicated
that the areas surrounding the proposed development have large
lot sizes, and there are beautiful old oak trees which should be
preserved.
09/29/87
Ed Dabrowski, 3061 Sacramento, pointed out that the intersection
at Eastside Road, Highway 299 and South Bonnyview Road is already seriously impacted and provision must be made for the increase in traffic before the area is further developed. He also noted that sewage is also a problem in the area. Mr. Perry stated that every effort has been made to preserve the oak trees. He noted that the lot sizes are not that inconsistent
with what is already there, and one trade off for smaller lot
sizes is the development of large open space areas. The
development will also be on the City sewer system. Mr. Perry
added that access to the area will improve with development of
Wickson Way. The City would have to condemn land to build a
through road or they can wait until the area is developed. Mr.
Perry noted that this development will encourage development in
the Wickson area.
Public Works Director Arness explained that there are some funds
in the budget to work on Eastside Road, and they will be looking
to the State to provide matching funds to build a trident at
Eastside Road and Bonnyview.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
Mayor Dahl requested staff to keep Council and Mr. Dabrowski
updated on what the City is doing to alleviate the traffic
problem.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, that Council make the following findings re Planned
Development Application PD-3-87:
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, ratifies the Negative Declaration approved by the Board of
Administrative Review on August 12, 1987. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, that the tentative map for PD-3-87 be approved, subject
to the lists of conditions and, in accordance with Government
Code Section 66474 of the State of California, none of the
conditions as listed in (a) through (g) exist with regard to this
proposed subdivision and is consistent with the Redding General
Plan and applicable specific plans. In accordance with the
Redding City Code, Council finds that the findings necessary to
grant bonus units are in evidence and the City Attorney is
authorized to prepare the ordinance after receipt of a legal
description within 90 days. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

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 September 22, 1987
City Clerk Nichols stated that a letter of protest was received
from Henry J. Krantz. Mr. Krantz is opposed to the proposed
residential classification of his property on the north-east
corner of Victor Avenue and East Cypress Street. He pointed out
that the logical zoning is commercial, as all three corners of
this intersection are already commercial, with businesses in
operation.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that
the Planning Commission recommended approval of Rezoning
Application RZ-8-87. The area is being prezoned at this time,
and a portion of the prezoning area, the Tarmac Road area, is
proposed for annexation. Mr. Perry explained that Mr. Krantz can
return at a later time with a General Plan Amendment.
Charles Hansen, 1973, Mistletoe Lane, stated that he does not
want to be annexed into the City, and questioned what the City
proposes to do.
Mr. Perry explained that Mr. Hanson's property will still be
under Shasta County's jurisdiction. The City is only prezoning,
as required by LAFCO, in anticipation of future annexation. Mr.
Perry added that by prezoning a larger area at this time, they
were able to save money in the future.
John Hayes, 1873 Manchester Drive, questioned if the area across
the freeway is now in the City. Mr. Perry replied affirmatively.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council
Member Gard, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote:

Planning Commission recommendation dated September 23, 1987
Council Member Johannessen stated that he will abstain from
discussion and voting on this issue.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that
the amendment will amend the General Plan on 2,400 feet of
frontage on the south side of Hartnell from "Residential, 9.0
units per acre" to "Office/Residential." The Planning Commission
has recommended approval of GPA-2-87, stating that office
development would not significantly impact the surrounding land
and may provide an opportunity for higher quality development
along Hartnell Avenue.
Mr. Perry noted that staff recommended denial of the application,
feeling that there is not any need for a change from a
community-wide perspective.
Council Member Gard questioned if one piece of property should
drive a planning decision for an entire area. She pointed out
that that is not what planning is about.
Eihnard Diaz, representing the land owner, stated that Hartnell
Avenue is a major thoroughfare and office use would be
appropriate. He noted that Council referred the original
application back to the Planning Commission for a review of the
entire area and recommended approval.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council
Member Gard, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Carter stated that the proposal is sound. He
noted that Hartnell Avenue development is already moving in that
direction.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Mayor Dahl,
that Council make the following findings re General Plan
Amendment GPA-2-87:
l. Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan.

Abstain: Council Members - Johannessen Council Member Gard emphasized that we need multiple-family
zoning; we are overclassified with commercial land designations.
She noted that the Enterprise Area Plan was adopted in 1982, and
it was the Planning Commission's and Enterprise Committee's
recommendation to zone the area multiple-family residential.
Council Member Gard pointed out that Hartnell Avenue is an entry
and exit way into the City and "strip commercial" would be
detrimental.
Council Member Carter stated that development can be controlled
with design review. Council Member Gard pointed out that Council
needs to address height limits in R-4 zoning again.

Single-Family Residential District. A portion of the prezoning
area is proposed for annexation.
Glenda McCoy, 2921 Manzanoaks Drive, stated that she is opposed
to annexation of their property into the City, and the prezoning
application serves no purpose for those who wish to stay in the
County.
Joseph Bartell, 133 Lake Boulevard--Sp.29, stated that he is a
property owner in favor of annexation. He added that he has
tried to annex into the City for years and receive City services.

Planning Commission recommendation dated September 22, 1987
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that
the Planning Commission recommended approval of RZ-10-87,
prezoning property located along Collyer Drive between Ridgewood
Road and Twin Tower Drive to "R3-40-B10" Multiple-Family
Residential District and "U" Unclassified District. Mr. Perry
explained that the application is for prezoning in anticipation
of future annexation.
Linda Dunster, 1684 Hobo Lane, stated that she has been a
homeowner in this area for ten years and is opposed to the
prezoning application. Ms. Dunster pointed out that the
multiple-family designation will run up to the hillside and be
visible from her home. She noted that there are many nice homes
in the area, and she does not want apartments on the hillside.
Ms. Dunster indicated that apartments on the frontage road would
be acceptable.
Council Member Johannessen noted that the terrain is steep and
homes have been built on the ridge. He questioned if development
could be handled in such a way as to not interfere with existing
homes.
Mr. Perry explained that the proposed density allows for duplex
development. He noted that Council could refer the matter back
to the Planning Commission for site plan review and criteria.
Restrictions on height and setbacks would address the problem.
Council Member Johannessen conveyed that some type of protection
must be arranged. Council Member Carter concurred.
Gran Teasley, 3900 Riverview Drive, stated that he would like to
develop single-family homes and duplexes. He added that
development is going to come, and restrictions should not be
placed on the area; the proposed classifications are current with
the General Plan. Mr. Teasley stated that the trees and
vegetation will keep the noise level low.

agreement with Mr. Strantz on the amount of compensation to be
paid for a public service easement on their property. Mr. Hays
reported that Mr. Strantz declined the City's offer of $5,500 per
the appraisal, and declined a subsequent offer of $6,500, made in
an attempt to compromise.
Mr. Robert D. Strantz, 1398 Smith Road, stated that he takes
offense to staff's defense that they have negotiated. He added
that he has never been contacted by staff; all meetings were
requested by him.
Mr. Hays explained that staff was in contact with Mr. Strantz's
attorney, and a meeting was held on July 22, 1987, at which time
the City's offer was discussed. Mr. Hays suggested that Council
adopt the resolution, and he will send a written offer to Mr.
Strantz. Mr. Strantz can choose to accept the offer or not.

hair care products in Cosmopolitan was produced by local
companies and local talent. He stated that Redding is interested
in attracting industries to Redding, but it is important to note
that Redding already has some very fine industries.
Council Member Gard pointed out that it is important to stabilize

ADMINISTRATIVE APPROPRIATION TRANSFER POLICY
(B-130-070)
Finance Director Downing stated that the current method of
amending the budget is by Council action. She explained that
this method may delay prospective departmental action and prove
costly, both in dollars and staff time. It is the recommendation
of staff that Council authorize amendment of the budget by
administrative action, subject to specified restrictions and
requiring approval from the City Manager or his designate.
Ms. Downing explained that transfer of appropriations would be
between accounts within the same fund, between accounts within
the same department and would not be used to administratively
increase the number of positions authorized by Council.
Council Member Carter suggested that a limit be placed on the
amount transferred between accounts.
Council Member Johannessen stated that he is not in favor of
changing the method of amending the budget.
City Manager Christofferson explained that there are conditions
in the policy which limit use of the administrative transfer
procedure. He noted that it will serve for "housekeeping"
purposes only, not major swings in budget administration.
City Attorney Hays pointed out that such action could only be
used for previously approved items.
Council Member Gard noted that administrative accountability will
improve. She suggested that staff review past budget action to
determine an appropriate limit on funds being transferred.
With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Dahl referred the request
for administrative amendment of the budget back to staff to place
a limit on the amount of funds eligible for administrative
amendment.

consumer-owned electric utility systems, and it is hoped that the
campaign will assist APPA's effort to preserve preference and cost-based rates for consumer-owned utilities. MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Johannessen, that Resolution No. 87-302 be adopted, a
resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding proclaiming

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that
the draft contract has been amended to reflect the Parkview site
as the Civic Center site and to include the additional
programming analysis and schematic drawings for a public safety
building and fire station.
Mr. Perry explained that the original budget estimate did not
include costs for a public safety building. It is the
recommendation of staff that Council amend the budget line item
from $100,000 to $153,000; providing an additional $39,500 per
the contract, and a $14,000 contingency fund.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council

ANNEXATION 86-4, TWINVIEW NORTH
(A-150-184)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that
since the annexation request was referred back to staff, property
owners Roger Cowling and Harrel Davis have requested that their
parcels be deleted from the annexation area, and Mr. Cowling
contacted Shasta Dam Area P.U.D. in an effort to receive services
from them. This would require an amendment by LAFCO, since the
property is inside Redding's Sphere of Influence. Another
property owner has requested inclusion within this annexation,
and in order to include this property, another parcel should be
included to square off the boundary area.
9/29/87
It is the recommendation of staff that Mayor Dahl send a letter
to Shasta Dam Area P.U.D. proposing a joint annexation to the District and the City for the Cowling property and annexation to Redding for the remainder south of the Cowling property. Roger Cowling, 1265 Willis Street, stated that he supports staff's proposal to contact and negotiate with the Shasta Dam Area P.U.D.
In response to an inquiry by Council Member Johannessen, Mr.
Cowling stated that he is seeking services as soon as possible.
A project for single-family homes using FHA funding has been
proposed, and said financing would not be available if the
property was annexed to the City of Redding.
Mr. Perry explained that they have told people in the past that,
if they were in P.U.D., they could not annex. He noted his
concern that the development will have lower standards than those
required by the City.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Carter, authorizing the Mayor to send a letter to the
Shasta Dam Area Public Utility District proposing a joint
annexation to the District and the City for the Cowling property
and to Redding for the remainder south of the Cowling property.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
ANNEXATION 87-4, MANZANOAKS DRIVE/COOLBREEZE WAY
(A-150-197)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that
Annexation 86-2, Oasis Road/Gold Hills Drive became a part of the
City on May 14, 1987, and on September 17, 1987, LAFCO denied
Annexation 86-7, Manzanoaks Drive, which is directly to the north
of subject annexation. Mr. Perry noted that when LAFCO denied
the Annexation 86-7, one reason cited was that the City was
attempting to piece meal an annexation in order to avoid a large
annexation.
Mr. Perry recommended that Council not proceed at this time, but
direct staff to put a larger annexation together along
Manzanoaks.
Council Member Johannessen noted that LAFCO also recommended
denial because some people are opposed to the annexation and
development is not imminent.
Council Member Gard relayed that it does not seem to be a high
priority; there is nothing to say that LAFCO is going to approve
annexation of the area. Mr. Perry advised that several property
owners are very interested in annexing.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council
Member Johannessen, authorizing staff to expand the annexation
area along Manzanoaks Drive. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
ANNEXATION 87-5, RIDGEWOOD ROAD
(A-150-198)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that
Annexation proceedings for Ridgewood Road should be tabled for
the time being. Mr. Perry noted that this annexation corresponds
with Rezoning Application RZ-10-87, which was referred to the
Planning Commission.
09/29/87
ANNEXATION 86-12, DEBBIE LANE
(A-150-192)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that LAFCO approved annexation of the Debbie Lane area to the City, subject to the inclusion of additional right-of-way, a section of
Churn Creek Road and Rancho Road. Mr. Perry pointed out that this action is an effort by the County to unload its street
obligations onto the City. LAFCO, in a memo to Council dated
September 19, 1986, stated that they would not impose additional
land area requirements; and based on this assurance, the City did
not condition the annexation other than to deal with water
district issues. Mr. Perry pointed out that the County Board of
Supervisors asked the City to provide service to the Debbie Lane
area, and because of the health hazard, the City agreed.
Mr. Perry stated that one option would be to go through the Court
system and try to get the additional area thrown out. Another
would be to seek an injunction to stop the annexation. It is
recommended that Council direct staff to send a letter to State
legislators and LAFCO.
Council Member Johannessen stated that LAFCO's action was wrong,
it was done to relieve the County of responsibility and costs
that were not associated with the annexation. Council Member
Johannessen added that although the City is trying to avoid
expensive annexations, there is no need for inflammatory remarks.
He emphasized that residents of Debbie Lane should not be
penalized.
Council Member Gard stated that a letter should be sent to the
Board of Supervisors explaining that we honored their request to
provide a public service and alleviate a health problem, and this
was not an appropriate response. She added that we should invest
in a court case and set case law. Council Member Gard also
suggested that we contact the League of California Cities, and
Housing and State Economic Development Agencies requesting that
LAFCO be reviewed again. She opined that a lot of legislators
would be willing to carry LAFCO legislation.
In response to an inquiry by Council Member Gard, City Attorney
Hays stated that annexation of Debbie Lane would be delayed if we
took the case to court.
With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Dahl stated that a letter
will be sent to the County Board of Supervisors expressing
Council's dismay over the inclusion of a section of Churn Creek
Road and Rancho Road into the annexation.

This was an information item. PLAN CHECK (A-050-250-030)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that as a result of increased construction activity, increased sophistication in buildings being built, and increased liability,
the City began sending work out to be plan checked in order to
reduce a backlog and reduce the time needed to issue a building
permit. Mr. Perry stated that, for the most part, plans do not
appear to have trouble getting through plan check and the option
of hiring a qualified engineer is available to the owner. The
current consultant, FLT Engineering, does an excellent job, and
enables the City to keep its overhead lower than if the City had
to hire an in-house structural engineer to plan check.
Mr. Perry noted that the problem arises when a plan does not
pass, and must be resubmitted. The perception then appears that
problems would be resolved, and the process quickened, if the
work was done in-house or if the City did not have an engineer's
or architect's work checked.
Mayor Dahl explained that he asked Planning Director Perry to
bring this item before Council. He noted that the Builder's
Exchange is concerned about plans being delayed. Mayor Dahl
suggested that an ad hoc committee be set up to study the issues
and report back in 30 days. The Builder's Exchange should be
brought in as part of the process.
Bernie Bryson, 1644 East Street, noted the following concerns:
design standards, as they currently exist and their application;
what a reasonable time frame for plan checking is; City liability
for any changes; the adequacy of the existing plan check process,
and the creation of an outside review board to make
recommendations on grievances.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council
Member Johannessen, to set up an ad hoc committee to study the
plan check process. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
RECOMMENDATION TO DISCONTINUE FREE OFFICIAL PARKING PERMITS
(P-030-240)
Public Works Director Arness reported that the Traffic and
Parking Commission has recommended discontinuing the issuance of
official parking permits. Mr. Arness noted that the Commission
felt that the need for parking permits has been eliminated by the
relocation of facilities and/or the construction of additional
off-street parking lots.
Mayor Dahl relayed that Council Member Fulton has requested that
parking permits continue to be available to the City Council and
selected other City personnel.
Council Member Gard pointed out that when the County jail was
built, the Environmental Impact Report showed they were 100
parking spaces short.
Council Member Johannessen stated that there is a legitimate need
for the parking permit program.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter, to eliminate the official parking permit program; those
9/29/87
permits already issued will be honored through December 31, 1987. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Gard and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - Johannessen
Absent: Council Members - Fulton PUBLIC WORKS PLANNING REPORTS - October 1987
(A-050-300)

Reports for October 1987. This was an information item only, and
no action was required.
CLOVER CREEK SEWER SERVICE AREA - Assessment District Proceedings
(A-170-100-080)
Public Works Director Arness reported that the Public Works
Department is ready to initiate sewer assessment district
proceedings for the Clover Creek service area. The assessment
district boundary is generally defined as that area tributary by
gravity flow to Clover Creek and the Airport Road area north of
the Airport. The district also includes areas within Shasta
County's jurisdiction, and areas which are currently sewered into
the Clear Creek system.
Mr. Arness stated that the Department will individually notice
each property within the district and place display ads in the
newspaper. A resolution will be submitted to Council on October
20, 1987, requesting jurisdiction from Shasta County.
