VETERAN'S DAY PARADE
- City Co-Sponsorship
(P-010-050)
City Manager Christofferson recalled that Council endorsed a request
from the Shasta County Veteran's Affiliated Council to hold a parade
on November 11, 1989, and directed staff to work with the Veteran's
Council to facilitate the parade. Mr. Christofferson noted that the
parade route includes a portion of the state highway, and the State
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is requiring a $1 million
certificate of insurance prior to issuing the permit. This represents
a cost the Veteran's Council cannot absorb. He explained that this
cost could be eliminated if the City were to co-sponsor the parade and
request the permit from Caltrans.
Mr. Christofferson noted that he has conferred with City Attorney Hays
and Risk Manager Kirkpatrick. There are valid concerns regarding
potential liability and setting a precedent; however, he stated that
this is an organization and event worthy of Council's support.
Council Member Johannessen stated that the Veteran's Council is a
unique organization, and the Veteran's Parade is something of a City
function, as well. Noting that the City will have exposure either
way, he suggested that the City co-sponsor the event.
Council Member Dahl concurred with Council Member Johannessen and
pointed out that if the City does not help, there will not be a
Veteran's Day parade.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, authorizing staff to file the necessary permit
382
9/5/89
application with Caltrans as a City co-sponsor of the Veteran's Day
Parade. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Members of the Veteran's Council thanked Council for their support.

(B-080-370)
A letter of resignation was received from Redding Redevelopment Agency
Member Tom Osgood. Mr. Osgood stated that he is retiring from the
Redevelopment Agency in order to pursue a new career in education.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, to accept the resignation of Tom Osgood from the Redding
Redevelopment Agency with deep regret. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Noting that Council is concerned about commissioners resigning because
of the laws regarding redevelopment project areas, Council Member Dahl
suggested that a letter from the Mayor be directed to the appropriate
commissioners and redevelopment agency members clarifying the issues.
Council concurred.

intersection of Clear Creek Road and Westside Road to "U" Unclassified
District. The rezoning is being processed in conjunction with
Annexation 89-10.
Mayor Carter determined that there were no comments from the floor.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, that Council make the following findings re RZ-10-89:

4. Project is compatible with the Code of the City of Redding,
California.
and, ratify the Negative Declaration authorized by the Board of
Administrative Review on July 12, 1989. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Buffum offered Ordinance No. 1905 for first reading, an

PUBLIC HEARING
- re Rezoning Application RZ-11-89, by City of Redding
(Both sides of Airstrip Road north of Highway 44)
(L-010-230)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Carter opened the public
hearing regarding RZ-11-89.
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 August 30, 1989
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission recommended prezoning homes, businesses, and the
Enterprise Sky Park on property located on both sides of Airstrip Road
to "U-F" Unclassified District with site-plan-review criteria. Mr.
Perry stated that this will establish zoning consistent with the
Columbia Area Specific Plan, the existing use pattern, and the unknown
future of the Sky Park facility.
Roger Mills, 2026 Airstrip Road, stated that he supports the
Unclassified designation because it protects the Enterprise Skypark.
Mr. Mills conveyed that he can support either the "C-6" or "U-F"
zoning. He noted that one of the issues is if the residents are
protected.
Mr. Perry stated that staff considered a residential zoning. He also
noted that C-6 zoning would preclude a residential district.
Tom Cross, 2360 Airstrip Road, noted that half of the airport was
already zoned "U" Unclassified.
Mr. Perry indicated that the south end of the airport is zoned "U"
Unclassified without site plan review criteria. He explained that the
south side of the airport has more mixed uses. Mr. Perry added that
north of the runway is a clear zone, and east and west of the clear
zone is a subdivision. He indicated that staff took a harder look at
the zoning this time.
Dick Osier, 2223 Airstrip Road, stated that he supports the "U-F"
Unclassified designation.
Doug Balfour, 9952 Oriole Lane, noted that the "U-F" classification
requires a use permit. Mr. Balfour asked if a commercial business can
be placed there. Mr. Perry replied yes.
Mr. Mills asked if the the northern end of the airport parcel can be
rezoned from "U" Unclassified to "U-F" Unclassified. He said the
rationale is that construction is more likely to occur on the northern
end, not the southern end. Mr. Mills explained that there are eight
lots with development potential on the north end.
Mr. Perry indicated that Mr. Mills could apply for a rezoning
application.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member

PUBLIC HEARING
- re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-8-89, and
Rezoning Application RZ-12-89, by C. D. Nelson (3500 and 3555 Santa
Rosa Way)
* (G-030-010 & L-010-230)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Carter opened the public
hearing regarding GPA-8-89 and RZ-12-89.
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 August 30, 1989
City Clerk Nichols stated that a petition opposing the request to
reclassify property was received from property owners in the Lake
Forest Subdivision.
Mr. Perry apologized on behalf of staff because the mailing list for
the public hearing notice was not expanded from 300 to 500 feet.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission recommended reclassifying two parcels consisting
of approximately 2.35 acres from "Residential, 3.5 units per acre" to
"Retail" and approximately 0.9 acres from "U" Unclassified to "C-1-F"
Neighborhood Commercial District. Mr. Perry noted that many of the
residents in the Lake Forest Estates Subdivision are concerned about
the increase in traffic, noise, and light. He explained that the
Commission felt the reclassification was appropriate in light of the
existing zoning to the north, south, and east.
Council Member Fulton said he is concerned about the small amount of
property on the northern parcel that actually fronts Lake Boulevard.
He noted that most of the property fronts Santa Rosa Way.
Mr. Perry stated that single-family lots could be created on the north
parcel, but one of the lots would front Lake Boulevard. He noted that
the Planning Commission received testimony from residents that higher
density mobile homes would not be appropriate.
Harold Flanigan, 3650 Lake Forest Drive, stated that he represents 56
residents in the Lake Forest area, which represents approximately 30
homes. He conveyed that these residents want the area to remain
residential. They do not want commercial uses in that area.
In response to Council Member Fulton's question, Mr. Perry explained
that the north parcel is zoned "U" Unclassified and the general plan
is designated residential. The south parcel is zoned commercial.
385
9/5/89
In response to Council Member Dahl's question, Mr. Perry stated that
Lake Boulevard is essentially strip commercial except for one block of
multiple family residential.
Mayor Carter asked what is located south of the southern parcel. Mr.
Perry indicated that there is one house and vacant land. He added
that the recommended zoning on the south parcel requires site plan
review.
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that it will be difficult to
protect and screen the residences adjacent to the north parcel from
commercial uses. Mr. Perry said that, ideally, the lot line will be
adjusted with the adjoining north parcel.
Council Member Johannessen asked if zoning for multiple-family single
story homes could be designated. Mr. Perry responded that the zoning
could be designated R-3 or R-4 with site plan review criteria for
single-story dwellings.
Council Member Buffum noted that office use would be a good
compromise.
Council Member Dahl explained that Council wants to protect the rights
of the property owner, as well as the rights of the neighborhood.
Jerry Jones, 1091 Goodview Way, stated that M & M Construction and Dr.
Nelson informed him that the area would be single-family homes. Mr.
Jones indicated that he would not have bought a home in Lake Forest
Estates if he knew apartment buildings would be constructed there. He
noted that the only access to the north parcel is on Santa Rosa Way.
Council Member Johannessen asked Mr. Jones what he would choose if he
had a choice between office and residential zoning with single-story
duplexes. Mr. Jones chose office and stated that the area should be
zoned for residential single-families.
Stanley Herreid, 3568 Lake Forest Drive, stated that Dr. Nelson has
held a permit for 12 duplexes on the north side of the subdivision for
three years, and he is just starting to develop them. He noted that,
excluding the duplexes, there are 125 dwellings with only two exits
from the subdivision, Santa Rosa Way and St. Nicholas Avenue, and both
exit to Lake Boulevard. Mr. Herreid indicated that the traffic
situation is very bad on Lake Boulevard and this zoning will only add
to the problem.
Keith Myers, Lake Forest Drive, stated that he bought his house with
the understanding that there would only be single-family homes in the
area. He recommended that the area be zoned for six single-family
residences. He added that if it is Council's intent to allow
commercial, a pedestrian light should be place at Santa Rosa, and Dr.
Nelson should pay for the light, not the taxpayers.
Daniel Story, 3615 Santa Rosa Way, stated that the area was zoned
residential and should remain that way. He opined that building
duplexes will lower property values.
Dr. C. D. Nelson stated that the south parcel has been zoned
commercial since the subdivision began. He expressed regret that
anyone who purchased a lot was informed that anything but a commercial
use was planned. He said he was surprised that the general plan had
not been changed when the area was zoned commercial. Dr. Nelson
indicated that it was always his intent to zone the north parcel
commercial, and he did not try to withhold that information from
anyone. He added that he still owns lots in the subdivision and he
386
9/5/89
does not believe that property values will drop. He explained that an
appropriate type of commercial use, such as a beauty shop or gift
shop, will enhance, not detract, from the subdivision. Dr. Nelson
explained that there is a third access out of the subdivision from
Magnums Way. Dr. Nelson reiterated that there is retail all the way
out to Buckeye School. He conveyed that he is willing to create two
more single-family residences on the north parcel and have the
remainder of the parcel designated office. As for the south parcel,
he stated that the property is already zoned commercial.
Council Member Dahl stated that residents have legitimate complaints
regarding the traffic impacts. He asked if traffic was discussed at
the Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Perry responded that traffic was
not looked at in great detail; that is for major developments.
Council Member Dahl asked what would the traffic impact of office be
compared to commercial. Mr. Perry stated that it would depend on the
type of commercial, but office use would be approximately one-fourth
of commercial.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
Council Member Buffum asked how long the south parcel has been zoned
commercial. Mr. Perry responded seven years.

PUBLIC HEARING
- re Appeal of Lot Split Application LS-34-89, by
Norman Levenson (Both sides of Oasis Road east of Twin View Boulevard)
(L-010-150)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Carter opened the public
hearing regarding the appeal of Lot Split Application LS-34-89.
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 August 31, 1989
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission reviewed the Lot Split Application and recommended
that the matter be continued. The Commission's position was based on
the belief that this application and one to the south of Mr.
Levenson's property should not be approved without the formation of a
benefit district to pay for street improvements. Mr. Levenson's
representative did not concur with the continuation request;
therefore, the Commission denied the tentative map, and Mr. Levenson
subsequently appealed. Mr. Perry conveyed that related issues pertain
to traffic, channel modifications, road alignment, and improvements.
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be denied.
Virgil Weld, Weld Brower and Associates, stated that the Planning
Commission is overreacting. He noted that the property was recently
rezoned and development is subject to a use permit. He requested that
the lot split be approved and staff put together the costs, etc.

9/5/89
In response to Council Member Buffum's question, Mr. Weld stated that
Mr. Levenson is opposed to formation of a benefit district for street
improvements and opposed to an assessment district for the extension
of a water line. Regarding the road alignment, Mr. Weld stated that
the alignment should follow the topography.
Mayor Carter asked if the individual lots could be included in a
benefit district if the lot split application is approved.
Mr. Perry indicated that individual lots could be included in a
district, but the issue would not be dealt with in a comprehensive
manner. He explained that needs should be identified and improvements
apportioned now rather than deferring the issue until specific use-
permit applications are received. Mr. Perry conveyed that the
Commission felt they did not have enough information before them and
there were other issues to consider such as adequate water lines and
disputes between property owners.
In response to Council Member Buffum's question, Mr. Perry suggested
that the lot split application be continued until a benefit district
is put together.
Council Member Dahl noted that the Commission is looking very closely
at major developments.
Eihnard Diaz, Sharrah, Dunlap, and Associates, representing Colbert
Thomason, Chuck Rhoades and Gold Hills Development, reviewed the
issues regarding realignment of the road and improvements. He pointed
out that the entire area should be master planned. He conveyed that
Mr. Thomason and Mr. Rhoades are willing to work with Mr. Levenson.
Mr. Diaz questioned if an assessment district is the appropriate way
to bring in water lines. He suggested that the parcel map be
continued until a master plan is developed.
Mr. Weld stated that Mr. Levenson has already master planned his
property and road requirements have been identified.
Council Member Buffum expressed concern about traffic impacting the
area beyond what has been identified and what is expected. She stated
that the traffic study that was prepared does not apply any more.
Mr. Weld asked what is the timeline. Mr. Perry indicated that until
Mr. Levenson has a use permit, there is no timeline.
Mr. Weld stated that Mr. Levenson did not agree to the continuation
because he wanted the application to progress. He suggested that
Council act or refer the application back to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Weld added that the Commission can do their job and Council can
deal with anything left over. He explained that it will take some
time to put it all together.
Council Member Johannessen said there is a problem when a project is
ready to go and property owners on the north, south, and east want to
slow down and master plan. He asked if Mr. Levenson's project will be
held up until they master plan.
Mr. Perry agreed that a property owner should not be held up for
another property owner. But he pointed out that Mr. Levenson's
tentative map has not been submitted for approval or denial. He said
there will probably be more lot splits and he concurs with the
Planning Commission that it is necessary to know what the numbers are
and not wait for the use permits.
388
9/5/89
Mayor Carter asked if a time frame can be placed on the matter. Mr.
Perry responded yes, but staff is stretched thin.
Council Member Dahl asked what the process would be if the application
was continued. Mr. Perry indicated that if Mr. Weld is willing to
continue the application, it should be sent back to the Commission.
Council Member Dahl asked what the status is on the water assessment
district. Mr. Weld indicated that everyone wants to act
independently.
Public Works Galusha conveyed that staff put together an assessment
district about six months ago. He explained that an eight inch water
line serves the area, but service must be improved. In response to
Council Member Johannessen's question, Mr. Galusha stated that some
property owners may not want to join the district because they are not
ready to develop and they do not want to pay.
Mr. Weld explained that a private contractor can build the water line
for 40% less money. Mr. Galusha concurred that that may be possible,
but there are times when a small private property owner wants to
extend a line and it becomes too expensive.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Buffum noted that Mr. Levenson's property is master
planned, but there are no applications, and Council and staff do not
know what kind of development and uses there will be. She suggested
that the lot application be continued and the matter be considered a
priority of staff.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, to uphold the appeal and refer Lot Split Application LS-
34-89 back to the Planning Commission for a report and recommendation
regarding the issues raised by the Planning Commission. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Dahl stated that other property owners concerns should
also be addressed.
Mr. Perry said that with respect to the lot split application, the
Planning Commission will be the final decision maker. He indicated
that the report and recommendation should take about ninety days.

389
9/5/89
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission recommended approval of GPA-5-89 to amend the
General Plan to "Retail," and found that EIR-3-79, as supplemented
with the Costco traffic reports, adequately addressed the impacts of
the applicant's project, a 220,000 square foot shopping center on
21.14 acres. The Commission also recommended rezoning the property to
"U" Unclassified District and directed the use permit to the City
Council for final action. Mr. Perry conveyed that the Commission also
recommended that the application be contingent upon Costco commencing
construction. The major tenant of this project will be Home Club.
Mr. Perry stated that the benefit fee for off-site improvements is at
$.91 per square foot for a total contribution of $837,981. It is the
recommendation of staff to approve the recommendations of the
Commission.
Doug Bradford, representing Home Club, stated that he is in
concurrence with the staff report and findings of the Commission. He
noted that the impacts of rezoning from multiple family to retail
commercial have been mitigated.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

Fulton, that pursuant to Sections 15090 and 15091 of the California

required in or incorporated into the project which avoid or
substantially lessen the significant environmental effects of the

RESOLUTION
- Public Convenience and Necessity re acquisition of
property for the extension of Churn Creek Road
(C-070-010)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry outlined the Report
to City Council dated August 29, 1989, pertaining to the proposed
extension of Churn Creek Road from Dana Drive to Highway 299. Mr.
Perry stated that the Redding Redevelopment Agency is assisting in the
acquisition of right-of-way across three parcels and providing the
engineering for the road. The owners of one parcel have not agreed to
sell, and since the project is outside a redevelopment area, the issue
has been referred to Council.
Mr. Perry explained that the property in question consists of 5.1
acres and is owned by seven people. The area needed for the street is
approximately one acre and located in the northwest corner of the
property. The Redevelopment Agency has offered either $28,600 for the
area needed, including a .5 acre remnant, or $74,800 for the entire
property. It is the recommendation of staff that the the City
Attorney be authorized to commence eminent domain proceedings to
acquire the necessary property.
City Attorney Hays stated that a letter was received from one of the
owners of the property, Frankie Schroeder, requesting permission to
comment on the proceedings.
Mayor Carter determined that there were no property owners present who
wished to speak.
Council Member Buffum noted that even though the property owners did
not appear, their letter is on file as testimony.
Mr. Hays replied that the letter is on file.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that Resolution No. 89-303 be adopted, a resolution of the

(S-070-230)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission recommended approval of a request by the
developers of College Highlands Subdivision to rename an existing

Simpson Boulevard and named the extension of the same street through
the College Highlands Subdivision to Simpson Boulevard. The owners of
Hacienda Heights Subdivision subsequently appealed the recommendation.
John Hailey, Project Coordinator for Simpson College, noted that the
streets are very different in nature and explained that Simpson
College is agreeable to the street being named both Simpson Boulevard
and Angels Street. He explained that Simpson Boulevard is an eighty
foot wide street with a median strip. Mr. Hailey added that the
private road through the College will be named Simpson Boulevard.
Council Member Buffum asked if the College was willing to reimburse
MHD Associates for costs associated with changing the street name.
Mr. Hailey conveyed that no agreement has been reached and MHD
Associates has shown no desire to cooperate.
Council Member Buffum noted that MHD Associates has seniority, but she
would like the opportunity to give Simpson College the name change.
She encouraged Mr. Hailey to talk with MHD Associates.
Council Member Johannessen noted that this is a unique situation and
the street should be called Simpson Boulevard. He pointed out that
the situation would be different if all the homes in the subdivision
were sold, but that is not the case.
Mr. Hailey indicated that two families have moved onto Angels Street.
In response to Council Member Dahl's question, Mr. Hailey indicated
that Simpson College is willing to replace the street signs and will
reimburse MHD Associates for the cost of printing new brochures.

Risk Manager Kirkpatrick recalled that the California Joint Powers
Insurance Authority (CJPIA) was established July 1, 1986, and the City
became an associate member on January 1, 1987. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated
that the organization determined that certain amendments should be
made to the agreement in order to function more efficiently to the
benefit of all the members. He conveyed that most of the changes are
not substantial. The major changes involve changing the name to
remove the word "insurance" and replace with the name "California
Joint Powers Risk Management Authority," and eliminating charter and
associate members, and thus creating only one class of membership.
Each member entity will now have a representative on the Board of
Directors, an executive committee has been created to handle routine
business, and changes in the operation of the General Liability
Program have been suggested.

"NORTHSTAR" FACILITY
- Redding Municipal Airport
(A-090-100)
Airports Director Ruff reported that the Airports Commission and staff
have been reviewing the future use of the "Northstar" facility at the
Redding Municipal Airport. The facility is in poor condition and the
cost to bring the building up to code and suitable for business has
been determined to be very high. The Airport is not budgeted to
provide such funds, and it is staff's position that responsibility for
renovation costs or new construction costs should rest with the future
lessee. It is the recommendation of the Airports Commission and staff
to remove the facility, at least up to the pre-engineered steel
portion of the building and down to, but not including, the cement
foundation. It is also recommended that possible interest in the
future use of this location be solicited via a request-for-proposal
(RFP) process.
Mr. Ruff conveyed that if Council approves the removal of the
facility, staff will then determine the best method by which to do so.
Staff will also distribute an RFP for an acceptable aviation related
business with the financial means to provide acceptable new
construction and conduct business on a sustained basis.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, to approve the removal of the "Northstar" facility at the
Redding Municipal Airport and authorizing staff to distribute an RFP
for future use of the facility. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
LEASE AMENDMENT
- by Mr. Glenn E. Hawes for property located adjacent
to the Redding Municipal Airport
(C-070-100 & A-090-100)
Airports Director Ruff reported that Mr. Glenn Hawes requested an
amendment to the current lease he holds with the City for 155 acres
adjacent to the Redding Municipal Airport. The amendment would add
approximately 250 acres to the lease for the continued purpose of
growing lawful crops, pasturing livestock, and other agricultural
activities. In exchange for the amendment, Mr. Hawes has offered to
improve the ex-motocross area and remove low brush and scrub and plant
both areas in clover; construct a new fence in accordance with FAA
requirements along the entire east side; leave a clear path the full
length of the fence on the airfield side for access and security
checks; and keep the area seeded, fertilized and free of excess
vegetation.
It is the recommendation of the Airports Commission and staff that
Council authorize staff to pursue the necessary negotiations for
finalizing the lease amendment with Mr. Hawes.
