WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Letter from Jaine Ryder-Howard
- The Growth House
(A-050-060)
A letter was received from Jaine Ryder requesting that the City of
Redding be a co-sponsor supporting the idea of community education in
the area of employer-sponsored child care options.
Jaine Ryder-Howard, 605 Overhill Drive, explained that she is in the
licensing/application process for the first employer-sponsored child
care facility in the Redding area. She has become aware that many
employers do not know about the tax advantages and benefits available
to them and their employees and, therefore, she has decided to offer a
seminar free to area employers to explain employer sponsored or
supported child care. Ms. Ryder asked the City to become a co-sponsor
of the seminar and support the continuing development of quality child
care and community awareness. She explained that no money is being
requested.
Council Member Buffum stated that this is a really fine idea and noted
that employer sponsored child care is a growing trend. She encouraged
Council to endorse the seminar.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, to co-sponsor community education in the area of employer-
sponsored child care options. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Letter and Petition from Starlight Boulevard Residents
- re Redding
Landfill Area
(S-020-300)
282
7/5/89
A letter was received from Starlight Boulevard residents about future
plans for the Redding Landfill to be closed in January 1990. Concern
was expressed regarding the location of a transfer station and wood
chipping and compost operation at the Landfill and the lack of
preparation and review of a master plan for the area. The letter
requested that no action be taken on the transfer station, chipping
and composting operations, and road development until a hearing is
granted with elected officials and all residents of Starlight
Boulevard and side streets be notified of the hearings.
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that the area residents are not
opposed to the transfer station and the wood chipping/composting
operation, but are very concerned that these facilities will not be
located near residences.
Council Member Dahl noted that these issues will be brought before the
Planning Commission. He said he is glad the residents have expressed
their concerns.
Mayor Carter said it is the consensus of Council that the area's
residents will have a public hearing soon before the Planning
Commission regarding the transfer station and wood chipping/composting
facilities located at the Redding Landfill.
Letter from Barbara Davis
(A-050-220-075)
A letter and newspaper clipping was received from Barbara Davis about
the loss of a giant black oak tree to a new subdivision. Ms. Davis
noted that losses of this kind detract from the charm and beauty of
Redding, and buildings and beauty are possible with guts, gumption,
and goals.
Council Member Johannessen noted that Ms. Davis has a good point and
it is unfortunate that a way could not have been found to save the
tree. Council Member Buffum pointed out that staff tried to negotiate
for the tree, and perhaps, a greater effort could have been made, but
property owners have rights as well. She said that this situation
should be monitored on a case by case basis. Mayor Carter questioned
if the City is ready for an ordinance regulating trees.
CLOVER CREEK SEWER ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1987-2
(A-170-100-080)
Public Works Director Galusha recalled that at the close of the Clover
Creek Sewer Assessment District protest hearing on June 6, 1989,
staff, the engineering consultant, and the City's bond counsel were
directed to respond to the written and verbal protests. He reported
that the level of protest has risen to 27.2%. Mr. Galusha reviewed
the Report to City Council dated June 27, 1989, which is incorporated
herein by reference.
Mr. Galusha explained that staff inventoried, analyzed, and grouped
each protest into categories for response. The responses to the
protests were reviewed in detail by Mr. Galusha. He said it is the
recommendation of staff to expand the City's current deferral program
to include five acre residential parcels. Mr. Galusha also
recommended the adoption of a deferral program offered by the Redding
Redevelopment Agency to eligible City residents.
Mr. Galusha conveyed that staff is also recommending amending the
Engineer's Report. He explained that the household equivalents (HE)
were determined by multiplying the net acreage by the appropriate
zoning density and the engineer's computer was programmed to round off
283
7/5/89
the net acreages of each parcel to the next lower or higher whole
number. Staff is recommending that those assessments which were
rounded upward be rounded down. Mr. Galusha stated that the engineer,
Mr. Sharrah, Sharrah, Dunlap & Associates, is recommending that HE's
assessed on 32 parcels be adjusted downward to reflect reductions in
net acreage of parcels with constraints such as easements, airport
flight zones, flood plain, etc.
Mr. Galusha recalled that several protests related to the exclusion of
several improved subdivisions in the district. In order to ensure
equity, it is recommended that all parcels not included in the
district pay a like fee upon future connection, and that portion of
the fee related to the Clover Creek trunk line and the Stillwater Plan
be placed in the district's "bond redemption fund." Mr. Sharrah
reviewed why these subdivisions were not included in the district.
Council Member Fulton noted that other people in the district also
have working septic systems and they would like to be excluded from
the district, just as these subdivisions have been. Mr. Sharrah
explained that when these subdivisions were built, full infrastructure
was developed, and the developers did not foresee hooking to a sewer
system.
Mr. Sharrah also explained that downward adjustments in household
equivalents were made for those people who built homes in the middle
of their parcel and cannot subdivide into the number of HE's that were
originally determined and still maintain the integrity of the
neighborhood. He stated that no changes in HEs were made for
industrial and commercial property unless it was an acreage adjustment
on useable ground.
In response to a protest about the City financing a trunk line by
creating an assessment district, Mr. Galusha stated that the City does
not qualify for State grants to finance sewer improvements any more;
the City does not finance trunk lines except through the general fund
and community development block grant funds, and normal procedure is
to create assessment districts.
Bond Counsel Sperry said he did not realize that the Airport Land Use
Commission (ALUC) was an autonomous body apart from the City Council
when he suggested that the number of household equivalents on Parcel
#72 be reduced to 80 HE. He noted that Mr. Sharrah assessed the
parcel at 361 HE, and he has no dispute with that assessment if the
present zoning continues. Mr. Sperry explained that if the ALUC does
adopt the recommendation to reduce the density, then it would be fair
to recommend an assessment of 80 HE. He conveyed that the situation
is right for a written agreement, and there are two alternatives,
either assess at the higher or lower HE. Mr. Sperry noted that staff
believes there will not be a determination to lower density. He
suggested that staff bring back an agreement to assess the Jurin's
property at 361 HE, and if ALUC does act to lower the density, the
City can make up the difference and lower the assessment to 80 HE.
Council Member Buffum stated that she has listened to the tape
recordings and read the transcript prepared by the court reporter of
the Clover Creek protest hearing at the City Council meeting of June
6, 1989, and is entitled to participate in the proceedings.
David Bishop, Pastor of the First Pentecostal Church, stated that the
church filed a formal protest; and a response was received from Mr.
Galusha, but it did not address their protest. Pastor Bishop stated
that the Church has a use permit to build a church, and they have no
intention to sell the land. He explained that their other church is
full, but adequate funds are not available to build yet. Pastor
284
7/5/89
Bishop stated that the church will never use 21 HEs, and they are
opposed to being forced into the assessment district.
Mayor Carter asked if the conditions of the use permit include use of
a septic tank. Pastor Bishop replied yes.
Council Member Buffum asked what the size of Pastor Bishop's
congregation is. Pastor Bishop stated that the congregation has 150
people.
Kati Neubert, 3360 Lyal Lane, stated that her correct parcel numbers
are #47 and #38. Ms. Neubert stated that she received staff's memo
with recommendations on Friday and did not have the opportunity to
consult with her attorney because of the 4th of July weekend. She
asked Council to delay action until she has had an opportunity to
consult her attorney and respond to staff's recommendations. Ms.
Neubert stated that it was her belief that the public hearing was
still open. She asked if the protests that came in after June 6, 1989
were not acceptable.
Mayor Carter said, no, that is not true.
Leonard Bandell, 1330 West Street, representing the Jurins, asked that
the Jurin's protest not be considered until the 18th of July.
Mr. Sperry recommended that Council adopt the resolution overruling
protests and staff will bring back the Amended Engineer's Report for
approval. He explained that no assessments will be increased and
staff will also prepare an agreement regarding the Jurins for adoption
on the 18th of July. Mr. Sperry noted that the legal time for action
would be from the 18th, not the 5th of July.
Mr. Bandell noted that Mr. Sperry's letter of June 23, 1989, outlined
two alternatives for the Jurin property. The first alternative is in
regard to the proposal to restrict development, and if that threat is
real, then the parcel should be assessed at 80 HE. He noted that if
the Jurins are assessed 80 HE, and if they can develop more then 80
HE, they will then pay an assessment based on that density. Mr.
Bandell pointed out that tonight the recommendation is to pay the full
360 HE, and refund the money if the density is reduced. He noted that
that recommendation is based on staff's belief that the density is
probably not going to change, but Mr. Bandell pointed out that the
parcel is located in the outer approach zone. He requested that the
assessment be based on 80 HE and if the density is not reduced, at the
time of hookup, the Jurins will pay the difference in cash, or
whatever.
Council Member Johannessen noted that he is a Commissioner on the
ALUC, and the recommendation to lower the density is related to
safety. He noted that Mr. Bandell is offering a part deferral
program.
Mr. Bandell stated that Council Member Johannessen is acknowledging
there are strong reasons for the recommendation. Council Member
Johannessen noted that it has not been guaranteed yet.
Council Member Dahl stated that the ALUC will probably not resolve
this issue before Council has to make a decision. He asked what the
implications are of giving the Jurins 80 HE and coming back with an
agreement.
Mr. Sperry explained that the City will carry an annual assessment of
$30,000. Mr. Sperry noted that there was some misunderstanding about
the recommendation in his letter of June 23, because he did not
285
7/5/89
realize the ALUC was an autonomous body. Mr. Sperry reiterated that
he is in full agreement with staff's recommendation. He anticipates
the probability of resolving this issue prior to March 1, 1990, when
the bonds for the assessment district will be sold.
Council Member Dahl asked if the City would lose money if the Jurins
are assessed at 80 HE prior to the ALUC acting on the matter. Mr.
Sperry stated that adjustments can be made up to March 1, 1990, and if
the ALUC acts prior to the bond sale, there will not be a financial
impact.
Council Member Buffum suggested that a compromise be worked out with
the Jurins.
Dave Knaeble, 3261 Sylvia Lane, stated that he has a five acre parcel
and does not have enough money to develop the infrastructure.
Robert Franzen, stated that he has an assessment of $76,000 and stated
that the site will only be developed if there is a sewer system. Mr.
Franzen expressed support for the district.
Council Member Dahl stated that staff and Mr. Sharrah did an excellent
job resolving the issues. He said that Council listened to the public
and the deferral programs will mitigate the concerns of both City and
County residents. Council Member Dahl said the resolutions should be
approved and the engineer's report amended and an agreement prepared
basing the Jurin's assessment at 80 HE.
Council Member Fulton explained that he is in accord with most of the
recommendations. He pointed out that if those excluded subdivisions
had been included, everyone's costs would have been cut. Council
Member Fulton pointed out that Kati Neubert does not qualify for the
deferral program, and there are many people in the same situation. He
expressed support for the sewer system; however, he opined that there
are still some inequities. He noted that Council has always had 60%
support for a district, and support for this district is only 58%.
Council Member Buffum conveyed that benefits to the individuals and
the community must be weighed. She noted that 60% of the cost is
being paid by the citizens of Redding who will not benefit from the
system other than the improvement of the airport area. Regarding Kati
Neubert's situation, Council Member Buffum suggested that some type of
exemption be implemented. She suggested that Bond Counsel Sperry and
the Jurins work out a compromise rather that act on a worst or best
case situation.
Council Member Johannessen noted that the airport area will be the
cornerstone of industrial development. He pointed out that there are
still some problems in the district that must be resolved. He stated
that the subdivisions that were excluded from the district will have
to pay their fair share if health hazards develop and they have to
hook into the system. Council Member Johannessen stated that staff
has done well and money has been saved by not expanding the Clover
Creek sewer plant.
Mayor Carter noted that we have come a long way toward resolving these
issues. He said Council has listened and been compassionate in
dealing with the health and welfare of the community, and has tried to
be fair. He said the community that plans ahead and attracts industry
will grow and prosper. He pointed out that if Council does not act,
the City will be faced with a building moratorium.

Planning Commission recommendation dated June 29, 1989
Council Member Johannessen stated that he will abstain from discussion
and voting on this issue.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission recommended amendment of the General Plan to
classify 9.36 acres at 1300 Dana Drive from "Residential, 12 units per
acre" and "Residential, 9 units per acre" to "Retail." The Commission
also recommended that the area be rezoned from "RM-12-F" and "RM-9"
Multiple Family Residential Districts to "C2-B10-F," and approved a
Use Permit to construct a 117,044 square foot retail store.
Mr. Perry stated that the major concern in addressing these
applications has been the impact on traffic. The Commission
recommended that the City pursue a special traffic benefit fee to
finance about half of the street improvements needed in the area. Mr.
Perry said it has been recommended to construct an on/off ramp further
east on I-5 than the present ramp to mitigate traffic problems.
Mr. Perry stated that Costco appealed three of the conditions of the
use permit. Condition No. 33 pertains to receiving a credit for the
widening of Friendly Road; Condition No. 34 pertains to the
calculation of the benefit fee based on the area of the property
before the widening of Friendly Road; and Condition No. 35 pertains to
receiving a credit for improvements made at the Dana Drive/Highway 44
ramps.
John Hartigan, representing Costco Wholesale, Inc., Kirkland,
Washington, stated that regarding Condition No. 33, improvements will
cost $78,000 or more because Friendly Road will eventually need a
rampand these improvements will benefit more of the area than just
Costco. Regarding Condition No. 34, Mr. Hartigan requested that the
calculation of the benefit fee be based on net acreage after the
dedication of land to the City for Friendly Road. Mr. Hartigan stated
that Condition No. 35 will again benefit everyone and it will cost
Costco $45,000. He asked Council to overrule the Commission on these
points. Mr. Hartigan added that Costco is paying $365,000 for
improvements.
Tom Shuck, CW Realty, stated that it will be beneficial to have Costco
in Redding. He said that taxable sales will be substantial, and
consumers who would normally go to Sacramento and San Francisco to
spend their money will stay in Redding. In addition, the Costco wage
scale is excellent. Regarding the traffic benefit fee district, Mr.
Shuck suggested that the area be expanded to include Churn Creek.
Council Member Buffum stated that a master plan is necessary. She
noted that developers will keep coming back and asking for more
commercial areas.
Mr. Perry indicated that he does not foresee the development going
past Bradford and Victor. He stated that the traffic statistics deal
with the area in question, and development along Hartnell and Churn
Creek should not have to pay. Mr. Perry explained that they are
trying to solve the traffic problems on Highway 44.
Council Member Buffum pointed out that if Costco had not asked for a
general plan amendment, the traffic situation would not have been
looked at so closely. She asked if housing development could be
assessed. Mr. Perry replied that only those homes that have not been
built can be assessed.
288
7/5/89
Mr. Shuck stated that there are 64 acres of existing land zoned
commercial. He pointed out that those properties will be developed
soon, Costco should be allowed to develop, and then staff should take
another look at the traffic situation.
Council Member Buffum asked if Mr. Shuck wants Council to open the
door for Costco and then close it for everyone else. Mr. Shuck
replied yes.
Jack Lynch, 1065 Dana Court, Realtor, opined that if the area is
developed residential at 9 to 12 units per acre, the traffic situation
will be the same as if the area was zoned commercial. Mr. Lynch
stated that it makes sense to create a regional shopping center.
Costco is a major attraction, and it makes good economic and planning
sense to allow the area to grow. He stated that some concessions
should be made to Costco.
John Carr, Millville, stated that he is a real estate broker and not
opposed to development by Costco. He noted that some of the money
that will be spent at Costco is money that would have been spent in
the area anyway. He stated that if local business is going to be
displaced, Costco should support the traffic improvements. He pointed
out that the monetary difference is only a drop in the bucket for a
large department store, and if Costco backs out now, they did not have
much at stake in the community. Mr. Carr pointed out that many people
are moving here and there is a strain on City services. He stated
that business should pay its way up front.
Betty James, 1067 Riviera Drive, expressed support for development by
Costco and noted that she wants a place like Costco for her children
to work. She noted that if Redding does not have employment
opportunities, the children will leave.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that the public hearings be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Dahl pointed out that Council is open to growth and
business opportunities, but development is causing problems. He
conveyed that Costco did get stuck in the middle, but Council is
willing to amend the general plan instead of waiting for in-fill.
Mayor Carter stated that the question is if the proposal is equitable
and what it is going to cost to straighten the traffic problem out.
Council Member Fulton noted that Costco will be creating some traffic
problems, but the advantages outweigh the problems.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, (1) certifying that pursuant to Sections 15090 and 15091 of the
California Environmental Quality Act guidelines, the Traffic
Supplement to EIR-3-79 was reviewed and considered and that changes or
alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project
which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental
effects of the project; (2) to deny the appeal of Use Permit
Application UP-182-22, by Costco Wholesale, Inc.; (3) find that under
Section 18.70.050 of the Redding Municipal Code, the use permit with
the conditions as recommended, will not be detrimental to the health,
safety, peace, morals, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing
or working in the area nor will it be detrimental or injurious to
property with the conditions as outlined; (4) to direct staff to
initiate proceedings to establish a benefit district for the area for
traffic improvements; (5) adopt a resolution approving General Plan
Amendment GPA-14-88 later in the meeting; (6) and direct that prior to

PURCHASE OF PROPERTY

Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that the
realignment of Butte Street was included in the report of the Market
Street Redevelopment Project Committee to create an east-west traffic
292
7/5/89
corridor. Mr. Perry explained that the project is in the early stages
of approval and funding; however, the owners of one of the key
properties have noticed intent to sell the property. Mr. Perry stated
that the property owners have agreed to give the City or Redevelopment
Agency (RRA) a purchase option on the property. The term is for nine
months and the deposit would be $10,000, of which $5,000 would be
nonrefundable if the property is not acquired. If acquired, the
$10,000 would be credited against the purchase price. It is the
recommendation of staff that Council approve a loan to the
Redevelopment Agency in the amount of $10,000 to secure an option on
the property.
Council Member Buffum expressed concern about the City recovering the
loan if the project is not approved.
Mr. Perry explained that the project needs to be inside the
redevelopment area, and once the project is funded, the RRA will
reimburse the City. He said if the project does not go, the property
can be sold.
Council Member Johannessen stated that the other option is to wait
until the project is approved and then assume the property. He noted
that he is not opposed to using eminent domain for street
improvements.
Mayor Carter noted that the downtown area has traffic problems, and
Council should think ahead. Council Member Fulton pointed out that
the property may not be available for sale later.

294
7/5/89
the common area in the Downtown Mall in front of the Orange Julius as
an area for customers to eat food purchased at the store. Mr. Perry

Merchants, subject to a lease.
It is the recommendation of staff to refer the letter from Mr. Humble
to the RRA for processing. Mr. Perry explained that the RRA appears
to be in the best position to review these type of requests.
Council Member Buffum suggested that Council stay involved and
current. She said she does not want to change the proposal, but would
like to approve requests on a case-by-case basis. Council Member
Buffum indicated that some merchants feel they are not being
represented by the Mall Merchants Association. She suggested that
some of the requests be approved on a 6-month basis so the requests
can be evaluated.

Buffum stated that Council should review the RRA's recommendations.

reserve the right to vote.
