HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT LEGISLATION
(L-040-070)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that
the Senate Budget Committee passed a resolution reducing the
entire community development function by 6%. The result would be
a reduction in next year's CDBG and Rental Rehabilitation Grants.
Mr. Perry also reported that the Fiscal Year 1988 HUD
appropriation passed by Congress does not fully fund the Section
8 Administrative Fee which will result in a loss of
administrative fees earned for fiscal year 1988-89 in the amount
of approximately $36,505.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council support the
current level of community development funding and oppose any
reductions; and request that Congress approve a supplemental
appropriation increasing the Housing Authority administrative
fees to 8.2%.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, to send a letter to the appropriate legislators to
support maintaining the freeze level on community development
funding and oppose any reductions; and support the supplemental
appropriation which would implement the increase in Housing
Authority administrative fees to 8.2%, and authorize the Mayor to
sign. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
TRANSIENT AUTO SALE/ABANDONED VEHICLES
* (A-010-140 & L-010-500-900) Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council referred a letter from Ellen Marie Blissenbach to Planning staff regarding the selling of automobiles on public and private property throughout the City and requesting that the City
pass an ordinance to prohibit this action. Mr. Perry reviewed the present policies pertaining to abandoned vehicles and the selling of automobiles. He noted that the City
does not have a Code Enforcement officer, and Planning and
Building staff currently handle between 40 to 60 reported
violations each month. Mr. Perry noted that while it would be
nice to do more, it is not cost effective at this time to
establish a formal Code enforcement and citation program. It is
the recommendation of staff that the present level of enforcement
be maintained.
Council Member Dahl agreed that these vehicles are an eyesore;
but noted that, at this time, a formal Code enforcement and
citation program is not feasible from a cost and enforcement
perspective.
Council Member Fulton stated that the City should show evidence
of being more agressive in their pursuit of property owners who
violate the ordinance.
Mayor Johannessen conveyed that it is the concurrence of Council
that staff maintain the present level of enforcement, but keep a
watchful eye on the situation.

NONPROFIT OFFICE PARK - Consultant Selection
(C-070-100)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
the Request for Proposal for the preparation of plans and
specifications for the construction of common-area improvements
within the office park area developed for nonprofit
public-benefit organizations was circulated. It is the rec
ommendation of staff that the City Manager be authorized to enter
into a contract for engineering services with the low bidder,
Sharrah-Dunlap and Associates, Inc., at a not-to-exceed cost of
$4,206.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract for
engineering services for common-area improvements in the
nonprofit office park with Sharrah-Dunlap and Associates, Inc.,
at a not-to-exceed cost of $4,206. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
REDEVELOPMENT SURVEY AREA - Highway 273 and Cypress Avenue
(R-030-090-600)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry noted that, at
the Council meeting of April 5, 1988, Council designated a
redevelopment survey area in concept and authorized staff to
prepare a resolution establishing the survey area in the vicinity
of Highway 273 and Cypress Avenue.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, that Resolution No. 88-170 be adopted, a resolution
of the City Council of the City of Redding designating Parkview
and South Market Redevelopment Survey Area.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Buffum, Carter, Dahl, Fulton, and
Johannessen
Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - None
Resolution No. 88-170 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 16.32 - Redding Municipal Code (pertaining
to Signs)
(C-110-100)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
the Planning Commission requested that funds be included in the
preliminary budget for a consultant to work with a committee on a
comprehensive review and update of the Sign Code. In the interim, the Commission has recommended adoption of regulations pertaining to murals, supergraphic wall signs, real-estate design
signs, and electronic reader boards. Mr. Perry reviewed the
regulations in the Report to City Council dated April 14, 1988, and it is incorporated by reference herein. Senior Associate Planner King noted that the current ordinance does not define the difference between supergraphic wall signs
and murals, and the problem is that supergraphic wall signs
contain advertising within the mural. The ordinance attempts to
define what a supergraphic wall sign is.
Mr. Perry explained that the section regarding 4' x 4' real
estate signs pertains to identification of a development when
those signs are situated away from a development. A sign located
on the site can be larger. Mr. Perry stated that staff contacted
Janet Lee of the Shasta County Board of Realtors. He explained
that if the entire Sign Ordinance is reviewed and revised, this
area will be considered again.
Janet Lee, Shasta County Board of Realtors, stated that the Board
appointed a subcommittee to review the ordinance, and they would
like the opportunity to review the proposals so as not to end up
with a sign ordinance that is prohibitive. She requested that
adoption of the ordinance be postponed for at least a month.
Council Member Dahl pointed out that the proposed draft is
liberalizing the ordinance, the status quo is more restrictive,
and this is a good interim step.
Council Member Buffum noted that the longer the ordinance is
postponed, the more decisions will have to be made without it. A
month is too long.
Gary Anthis, 1890 Manchester Drive, stated that he is speaking as
a private citizen and not speaking for the Planning Commission.
Mr. Anthis noted that our community is moving into the future and
has adopted tourism as a major consideration. Our signing
ordinance needs to move ahead at least 30 years; from its last
revision 20 years ago, to 10-15 years ahead of where we now
stand. Mr. Anthis expressed hope that Council will consider
funding for a consultant or a committee to study the matter. He
noted that a good signage ordinance will allow our community to
look like a place where people want to come; it is good for
economic growth. Mr. Anthis advised that, in the interim, the
proposed ordinance is acceptable. He noted that it is important
to explain to the community how important a strong signage
ordinance is. Mr. Anthis noted that creating a portfolio of
signs would be a good thing to do.
Ray McHale, 1526 Canby Road, submitted a copy of Senate Bill 512
which pertains to cities who amend their Sign Code after January
1, 1988. Mr. McHale noted that if Redding changes its Sign Code,
the provisions of the Bill must be complied with.
Gary Stamper, 1836 Silverfield Loop, owner of Autographics,
submitted a letter to Council regarding amendments to the Sign
Code, and it is incorporated by reference herein. He noted that
the vast majority of murals are well done; but because of their
sheer size and impact, they should be regulated. The proposed
draft regulations are generally well defined, but there are some
subjective areas where standards should be set. Mr. Stamper
noted that the existing Sign Code is not being enforced. The
draft regulations are overly restrictive and will impact the
City's real estate industry, construction industry and sign
industry in an adverse manner. Mr. Stamper concurred that the
Sign Ordinance should be revised, and a committee comprised of a
professional sign consultant, representatives from Planning, the
California Electric Sign Association, the Shasta Sign
Association, local sign companies, local business people and
concerned citizens be formed.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Carter, to continue the matter of the sign ordinance until the
meeting of May 3, 1988. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
URGENCY ORDINANCE - Prohibiting Electronic Reader Boards
(C-110-100)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that
the Planning Commission unanimously recommended the adoption of
an ordinance prohibiting electronic reader boards. The
Commission felt that electronic reader boards have the potential
to overwhelm other forms of advertising; thus other businesses
may increase the visual impact of their signs, and the appearance
of the community will be adversely affected. Mr. Perry noted
that they have received two more applications for reader-board signs, and there are no adequate standards for their
consideration. It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt an urgency ordinance to prohibit all electronic reader boards. Mr. Perry explained that a moratorium, coupled with a citizen's committee or community survey, will allow time to
thoroughly review the issue. In response to an inquiry by Council Member Dahl, City Attorney
Hays explained that an urgency ordinance would become effective
immediately. He noted that the question of aesthetics has become
an issue to the community, and there have been sign ordinances
adopted based on aesthetics.
Council Member Fulton stated that this may be going overboard.
He noted that consideration was given to a reader board at the
Convention Center, and there are reader boards on buses. All
people must be treated equitably, and another alternative
acceptable to Council and others must be found.
Council Member Dahl stated that the overriding issue is what we
want our community to look like. We are making decisions we will
have to live with 20 years into the future; and he does not want
the community to look like Las Vegas. Council Member Dahl
advised that not making a decision can have a negative impact on
the community; and an urgency ordinance would be in line.
Council Member Carter pointed out that Council can change the
ordinance later, after a thorough review of the sign ordinance.
Council Member Buffum concurred with staff's opinion that the
moratorium option buys time for less than a knee-jerk reaction to
the issue.
Mayor Johannessen noted that it is also important to take care of
old signs in disrepair. He further stated that he is not against
reader boards per se, but it is important that they are well
placed, etc.
Bob Morgan, 1920 North Bechelli - Crown Motors, noting that
Cypress Auto Center has an electronic reader board, stated that
he cannot afford to give a major competitor the edge, and Cypress
Avenue is a commercial street. He pointed out that his business
adds to the quality of life in Redding by contributing jobs and
money. Mr. Morgan, referring to the concern that reader boards
may be a traffic hazard, noted that if they are, he could not
stand the liability, and the City should stop placing the
Christmas Tree in downtown Redding.
Mr. Morgan stated that he has the nicest dealership in Northern
California. The sign they are proposing will be in keeping with
that quality, and it is costing him twice what it could have.
Mr. Morgan stressed that he cannot afford to let Council pass an
ordinance that will hurt his business, and he will use whatever
legal means possible to put the sign up. He conveyed that if
Council wants to ban all reader boards, that is fine.
Council Member Carter asked Mr. Morgan if he would like to see
reader boards all over town. Mr. Morgan replied that not
everyone can afford them, and that is not the issue. Council has
allowed a reader board and is now denying him the right to
compete.
In response to a question by Mayor Johannessen, Mr. Hays stated
that the sign could be removed over a period of years; and to
shorten that timeframe would mean an expenditure of money. Mr.
Hays, referring to the City of Alameda where a stringent sign
ordinance was passed, noted that Alameda was able to enforce a
new sign code, their arguments were based on aesthetics, and
fought and won through the court system of the State of
California.
Mayor Johannessen noted that passing the ordinance tonight will
serve the purpose of allowing time to study the issue and
determining whether or not reader boards should be allowed.
Council Member Dahl noted that Mr. Morgan's presentation was very
impressive, but Council needs breathing room. He noted that it
would be easy to duck and run, but that is not what Council is
here to do. Council Member Dahl reiterated that the ordinance
can be changed later, and urged Council to enact the urgency
ordinance.
Council Member Buffum pointed out that when the Planning
Commission reviewed the application for a reader board, there
were no grounds to work with.
Council Member Carter stated that reader boards are not being ruled out; Council is buying time to find out what the community wants. Jerrald Pickering, 1915 Placer St., attorney representing Bob Morgan, stated that the issue is not what is going to happen in
the future; it is what happened when the electronic reader board was approved. He added that, now that there is one reader board sign, Council wants to pull up the rope and create a monopoly.
Mr. Pickering noted that staff's recommendation dated April 14,
1988, will not stand careful scrutiny.
Council Member Carter stated that it is not Council's intent to
discriminate against Crown Motors.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Carter, that Council finds there is a public urgency and
determines that electronic reader boards shall be immediately
prohibited in the City (pursuant to Section 36937 of the
Government Code) until the City has adequate time to develop
regulations for such signs regarding their prohibition or
location, size, placement to enable the public to locate goods,
services, and facilities without difficulty and confusion, to
prevent the wasteful use of resources in competition among
businesses for attention, to prevent hazards to life and
property, to assure the continued attractiveness of the
community, and to protect property values; and that Ordinance No.
1850 be adopted, and effective immediately, an ordinance of the
City Council of the City of Redding amending Chapter 16.32 of the
Redding Municipal Code pertaining to signs.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Buffum, Carter, Dahl, and Johannessen
Noes: Council Members - Fulton
Absent: Council Members - None
Ordinance No. 1850 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
Mayor Johannessen stated that Council needs a lot more
information and wants staff to begin the process immediately and
mitigate some of the problems.
Mr. Hays invited Mr. Morgan and Mr. Pickering to meet with staff
and express their concerns and explain what their needs are. Mr.
Morgan stated that he will take that under advisement and then
contact the City Attorney.
REDDING METRO REPORT
(A-050-250-190)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry presented the
Redding Metro Report and noted that the purpose of the report is
to market the community, whether it is industrial development,
large-scale retail, or conventions. A secondary purpose is also
to provide information about the community to those who are often
contacted about the City so they may express the community in a
positive manner. This was an information item and not action was
necessary.
WASTEWATER SYSTEM FUNDING NEEDS AND PROJECT SCHEDULING
(W-010-560 & W-010 & W-020)
Public Works Director Arness reported that the City of Redding's
current income package will not fund the growth needs of its
sewage collection and treatment system. Mr. Arness reviewed the
Report to Council dated April 14, 1988, which is incorporated by
reference herein, and evaluates the variables which will
influence the final funding components and the estimates of costs
to construct the system and plant facilities. Mr. Arness
explained that the magnitude of the fiscal need is significant;
therefore, revenue must be expanded by either increasing existing
fees and charges or finding a new source. Mr. Arness stated
that Council needs to give some direction on a funding program.
Council Member Fulton stated that the people who will be using
the Stillwater and Clear Creek system will not be paying for it.
The City of Redding is taking the lead on this project and paying
for it, and it isn't fair.
City Attorney Hays noted that by building the new plant, the
needs of the existing plant will be forestalled, and current
users will not have to put money into the old plant. This is a
total community project. Mr. Hays pointed out that the rates
will go up either way.
Mr. Arness conveyed that they are trying to build the largest
system possible; and once the Stillwater facility is built, it
will save money.
Council Member Dahl noted that this is a very important policy decision. He recommended that Council hold a study session or
discuss this at a Council retreat. Council Member Carter suggested that some kind of dialogue be set up with the community. The fee increase may be substantial, and Council will want to gather support for it. Council Member Fulton stated that a fee increase will create a
hardship on some people, and if there is some other way to
finance the system, he would like to know about it.

pleasure to work with Mr. Arness.
Planning Process
(A-050-250)
Gary Anthis, 1890 Manchester, stated that Redding is on the
threshold of really great things. The community is moving into
the future in a very sophisticated manner, and he hopes that some
direction will be given toward upgrading the planning process.
He conveyed that a good planning program can provide faster
processing and better projects. Mr. Anthis noted that Council
may wonder why the Planning Commission approves some projects,
and it is because of the ordinances they are working with.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, at the hour of 10:08 p.m., Mayor
Johannessen adjourned the meeting to 8:30 a.m., April 30, 1988,

Goals.
