"Residential, 3.5 units per acre" and "Retail" to "Residential, 9.0
and 12.0 units per acre" and "Office." Mr. Perry indicated that the
City of Redding became a co-applicant after widening the boundary of
GPA-19-89 to include several surrounding parcels.
Mr. Perry explained that the primary issue was the inconsistency
between the existing zoning and the general plan classification for
several parcels adjoining the proposed six-lot single-family-duplex
subdivision. As a result, the Planning Commission expanded the
General Plan amendment boundary to cover eight additional acres. If
the general plan amendment is approved, the existing zoning would
still need to be amended to achieve consistency. It is the
recommendation of staff that GPA-19-89 be approved and that staff be
directed to initiate the appropriate zoning changes.

The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Buffum opened the public
hearing regarding GPA-13-88 and RZ-14-88.
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 April 12, 1990
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that FHK
Investment Company has applied for an amendment of the Redding General
Plan on 31.6 acres from "Residential, 9.0 and 2.0 units per acre" to
"Retail," of which 5.87 acres would remain classified as "Greenway."
The intent of the application is to construct a 250,000-square-foot
shopping center.
Mr. Perry reported that the Planning Commission required FHK to
prepare an environmental impact report. After two hearings on the
EIR, the Commission referred the EIR back to staff and the consultant
to add additional information on traffic, drainage, alternative
shopping center sites, market analysis, and a larger area; recommended
denial of GPA-13-88 and RZ-14-88, and recommended that Council appoint
a citizen's committee to update the Cascade Neighborhood Plan.
Mr. Perry explained that Council has two actions it can take--deny the
applications or refer the applications back to the Commission to
complete the EIR process. Mr. Perry stated that the Cascade
Neighborhood Plan was adopted in 1978 and encompasses about 12 square
miles. If Council decides to update the Cascade Plan, Council will
have to establish a moratorium on further general plan amendment
applications, deny, or gain deferral of existing applications. He
explained that it is unlikely that more than 10% of the land use would
change within the 12-square-mile area, and based on past experience,
requests for increased density or more commercial use would occur.
Mr. Perry pointed out that the real issue for the area and the City is
how does the community fund improvements needed on South Bonnyview.
He explained that the shopping center could represent about $1,000,000
in off-site street improvements and provide tax increment for the
Redevelopment Agency to pay for additional traffic improvements in the
project area, if that plan is formed. Mr. Perry added that there will
be traffic created by residential development and there is an eight-
acre retail site to the east of the proposed application.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council refer the applications
back to the Planning Commission to complete the environmental review
process. It is also recommended that the Cascade Plan not be updated
as the only reason to update the entire plan would be to increase the
density or intensity of land use over what exists on a significant
part of the undeveloped properties in the plan area.
John Wilson, 6281 Center Street, said he is representing homeowners in
the South Bonnyview area. Mr. Wilson stated that a shopping center
will increase the number of traffic trips on South Bonnyview. He
pointed out that the area is now mainly classified as Residential, 2
units per acre. Mr. Wilson agreed with staff's recommendation to not
update the Cascade Neighborhood Plan because property owners would
probably request higher densities. He emphasized that large
commercial growth should not be allowed and the area should remain
residential. He opined that commercial development is not necessary
to fund improvements on South Bonnyview Road. Mr. Wilson pointed out
that the developer knew the land was zoned residential when it was
180
4/17/90
purchased. He emphasized that Redding does not need a shopping center
on every corner.
Grady Fort, 3450 Pioneer, stated that the South Bonnyview area is a
beautiful residential area, and the shopping center would permanently
alter the use of the nicest residential area in Redding. He conveyed
that the shopping center is not wanted or needed in this area, and it
is a traffic intensive use that is too close to the elementary school.
Mr. Fort stated that the local merchants should be supported and
money kept in the area. He pointed out that campaign statements in
the recent election were based on maintaining Redding's quality of
life and he challenged Council to act accordingly.
Bill Brashears, 5385 Mulberry, stated that staff's recommendation is
contrary to the Planning Commission's recommendation. He pointed out
that the Commission was unanimous in its decision that the EIR was
inadequate, and the applications were denied four to one. He added
that the Commission also recommended that a committee be appointed to
update the Cascade Plan.
Bob Michaels, 5967, Riverside, stated that he submitted a rezoning
application for commercial nine years ago and was denied approval
based on the determination that there was already too much retail, and
traffic on South Bonnyview would be impacted. Mr. Michaels stated
that he now has eight acres of retail on the general plan. He
requested that FHK's applications be denied. He said this is a
complete about face, and it is not consistent with the general plan.
Betty Trail, Riverside Drive, stated that she has lived in the
Bonnyview Area for 40 years. She pointed out that the property along
South Bonnyview is becoming more valuable, and it is an ideal place
for a shopping center. Ms. Trail said there is no other shopping
center on the south side of town, and residents will save gas money
and pollution will be reduced by shopping in the area. Ms. Trail
stated that FHK will pay for road improvements, and that will also
save the taxpayers money.
Dan Rizzi, resident of Westwood Manor, stated that the area should
remain rural residential, two units per acre, because another shopping
center is unnecessary. He noted that heavy trucks are a problem at
the interchange.
Kathy Kuhn, 6220 Center Street, stated that she lives outside the 500-
year flood plain, but her home has flooded twice in the last twelve
years. Ms. Kuhn conveyed that she is very concerned about run-off
into Olney Creek. She said the EIR is inadequate, and she urged
Council to keep the general plan residential and rural to maintain the
integrity and the quality of life that the citizens demand.
Carrie Hodges, 17065 Shady Lane, stated that she lives south of the
Redding area; however, she and other who commute into Redding will be
impacted by the increased traffic. She said the shopping center will
impact all of those who drive Highway 273.
Chuck Rudman, Eastside and Bonnyview property owner, said he is
concerned, and he is not sure if the shopping center is good or bad.
Mr. Rudman questioned how much the South Bonnyview trident will
relieve traffic congestion. He opined that the trident is necessary
and someone has to pay for it. He said the City cannot afford to pay
for the traffic improvements. Mr. Rudman conveyed that he would like
to see more information pertaining to how traffic congestion can be
alleviated.
181
4/17/90
Leonard Bandell, representing FHK Investment Company, stated that FHK
requests that staff's recommendation be accepted by Council. Mr.
Bandell stated that the EIR did not adequately address drainage and
flooding and Council should have a complete document before making a
decision. He conveyed that FHK will prepare a market study and
supplement the EIR with regard to flooding and drainage issues.
Ed DeGraff, 8733 Canyon Road, stated that is difficult to get from
Canyon Road to Highway 273. Mr. Graff asked Council to deny the
request. He said another shopping center is not necessary.
Phyllis Fisher, Holly Road, said that she owns property across the
street from the proposed shopping center and plans to develop the
property for personal use. Ms. Fisher expressed her opposition to the
application and stated that there is no integrity and no class in
Redding. She stated that everywhere one turns there is another
shopping center. Ms. Fisher conveyed that flooding will be a problem,
exhaust emissions will be a problem, and if that many acres are
covered with pavement, toxins will drain into Olney Creek and into the
Sacramento River.
Sharon Kennedy, 6833 Riverside Drive, expressed her concerns about the
draft EIR. She pointed out that Cypress Avenue has all of the
improvements slated for South Bonnyview and that Cypress Avenue is
still not a pleasant to drive. Ms. Kennedy conveyed her concern about
traffic and the railroad crossing and pointed out that the EIR could
not justify the loss of oak trees, riparian habitat, and wildlife.
She emphasized that Council has the opportunity to preserve this area
for the City of Redding.
Paul Presario, 6212 Riverside, stated that he is not opposed to the
proposal. However, Mr. Presario stated that he was informed that if a
shopping center is located on South Bonnyview, the street rating will
drop to an "F." He added that there are alternatives sites. Mr.
Presario opined that the notification system for public hearings is
inherently wrong, and the notification area was not expanded enough.
He added that if the area is expanded, more residents will become
involved and then a valid hearing will be held.
Art Hild, 6958 Riverside Drive, stated that he commutes to the
Enterprise area and travels on alternate routes depending on the
traffic. He conveyed that he has a vested interest in the Westside
Manor shopping center because his wife owns a beauty salon there. Mr.
Hill stated that the vacancy factor in Westside Manor has been up to
90%, and this fact and the turnover rate of this center should be
considered.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Arness suggested that the application be sent back to
the Planning Commission, and it will not prejudice the Council in any
way. He emphasized that no promises are being made. Noting that
Public Works is preparing a traffic study, Council Member Arness asked
when the document will be completed.
Public Works Director Galusha stated that it will probably be finished
in approximately six months.
Council Member Moss stated that problems will continue to be created
when commercial zoning is created on our hinterlands and cheaper
property. Because the area is comprised of large vacant lots, he said
there is no way Council can approve 32 acres of commercial along South
Bonnyview without approving an additional 100 acres. Developers have
182
4/17/90
the right to apply, but he opined that Redding already has enough
commercial property. Council Member Moss conveyed that the last time
he heard a consultant discussing commercial property, the consultant
stated that Redding had enough commercially zoned property as a city
with a population of 250,000. He emphasized that he will be
consistently opposed to establishing any more commercial zoning other
than in those areas near commercial zoning.
Council Member Fulton stated that a decision should be made tonight.
Council Member Dahl stated that South Bonnyview has a serious traffic
problem. There has been explosive residential growth and the trend
will continue. He conveyed that he has a problem with this request to
amend the general plan because it will compound a serious problem.
However, of equal concern is that the existing general plan will allow
residential growth to expand, and traffic has to be addressed with or
without the shopping center. Council Member Dahl pointed out that if
the opportunity to have the EIR studies done is available, Council
should take advantage of that. He added that a way must be found to
pay for traffic improvements.
Council Member Arness conveyed that the applicant should be given the
opportunity to go through the process.
Noting that the City does not have extra money, Mayor Buffum agreed
that it is advantageous for the City to have development money prepare
the studies.
Council Member Moss stated that he disliked having the neighborhood up
in arms for this considerable period of time; however, if the
developer is willing to spend the money for the studies, he will
support the recommendation.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, to refer GPA-13-88 and RZ-14-88, by FHK Investments, back to the
Planning Commission to complete the environmental review process and
not update the Cascade Neighborhood Plan.

of services provided by the public safety forces. The mission of the
Task Force was to submit a report on the level of services and make a
recommendation regarding the direction the departments should follow
for the next five years. Council Member Dahl recommended that Council
authorize the establishment of a new Public Safety Task Force to chart
a five-year plan for Police and Fire protection.
Council Member Dahl recommended that the Task Force be similar in
structure to the previous Task Force and that the Mayor make the
appointments. He suggested that the Task Force be established at the
conclusion of labor negotiations with the Fire Fighter's Association,
and that the five-year plan be more focused and a review of the
recommendations take place within two years of its adoption. He added
that the report should address the impacts of additional annexations
and our expanded geographical size, including the sphere of influence,
and that the local drug problem should have a major emphasis in the
report.

safety activities of the County of Shasta and the cities of Anderson
and Redding. Mr. Christofferson reviewed the Report to City Council
dated April 9, 1990, relaying the status of the consolidated dispatch
project, which is incorporated by reference herein. He stated that
staff is continuing to study the staffing, cost, and location of a

explicitly with airport noise.
Mr. Christofferson also recommended that Council support SB1858
pertaining to motor vehicle insurance and support SB2175 regarding the
redevelopment process for cities. It is also recommended that Council
support AB2707 relating to hazardous household waste program and

Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council approved General Plan Amendment GPA-14-87, by Jon Meamber, to
amend the general plan from "Residential, 3.0 units per acre" to
"Service Commercial." The approval was subject to a use agreement
limiting the property to mini-storage units and a convenience market.
The current owner of the property, Richard Rowan, desires to amend

retail commercial project rather than the development of a convenience
market. It is the recommendation of staff that the use agreement be
amended as requested.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, that Resolution No. 90-181 be adopted, a resolution of the City

ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY
- Collins' Property (Viking Way and Abernathy
Lane)
(C-070-010)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council directed staff to research the acquisition of 70 acres
adjacent to the proposed City corporation yard belonging to Dr. Brent
Collins. Dr. Collins has agreed to a sales price of $345,000. Mr.
Perry reported that the Planning Commission found that acquisition for
the purpose of a corporation yard in the Service Commercial areas of
187
4/17/90
the property was consistent with the General Plan. Development of
other than park facilities in the residential areas would first
require a general plan amendment.
It is the recommendation of staff to authorize acquisition of the
property. Mr. Perry noted that acquisition of the property allows
greater flexibility in corporation yard design and access and provides
an option for other potential public uses and could allow City
facilities to buffer each other.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Moss,
that Council make the following findings regarding the acquisition of
70 acres of property located generally east of Abernathy Lane and
south of Viking Way:
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, ratify the Negative Declaration authorized by the Redding
Planning Commission on April 10, 1990. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Moss,

and south of the Masonic Avenue)
* (C-070-010 & C-070-200)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that a letter
was received from John Sharrah on behalf of a client, Mr. Afshin
Ansari, asking if the City is interested in exchanging property. Mr.
Perry submitted a map of the property located west of North Market
Street and south of Masonic Avenue that Mr. Ansari proposes to
exchange for City-owned land located between the California Highway
Patrol building and the Greenwood Heights Subdivision on Sonoma
Street.
Mr. Perry explained that possible uses of the property include the
future widening of Highway 273, the possible expansion of the Sulphur
Creek electric utility substation, and open space. It is the
recommendation of staff to explore an exchange on the basis of open
space for single-family property with the City's property limited to
15 lots. It is also recommended that the offer be referred to the
Recreation and Parks Commission and the Planning Commission for report
and recommendation, as well as the Electric Utility Department for
report and recommendation. Mr. Perry added that it will be worthwhile
to establish a value for the City-owned property on Sonoma Street.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Arness, directing staff to determine the value of City-owned land on
Sonoma Street and explore an exchange of said property for property
located west of North Market Street and south of Masonic Avenue owned
by Mr. Ansari, and refer the offer to the Planning Commission and the

HANGAR RENTAL AGREEMENT
- Municipal and Benton Airports
188
4/17/90
(A-090-020 & A-090-100)
Airports Director Ruff reported that staff, including the Fire
Marshal's office, in conjunction with the Airports Commission
subcommittee and Tenant Relations Committee representatives, has
drafted a Hangar Rental Agreement to serve both City airports. Mr.
Ruff submitted a copy of the Agreement with his Report to City Council
dated April 10, 1990. Mr. Ruff explained that the Agreement clarifies
activities that tenants are permitted to do within the City's hangars
rented for small aircraft and sets forth certain terms and conditions.
It is the recommendation of staff, as well as the Airports Commission
and Tenant Relations Committee, that the new Hangar Rental Agreement
be approved and adopted.
Council Member Arness asked how the hangar rental rates will be
determined. Mr. Ruff explained that airport industry standards may be
used as a guideline and rental rates will be tied to the Consumer
Price Index on an annual basis. He added that the quality and
conditions of the hangar are also to be considered.
Mr. Ruff stated that there has been an ongoing effort over the past
six months to examine and survey other airports and determine what
other airports charge. He added that the rental fees and charges at
Municipal and Benton Airports have not been updated since 1986.
Council Member Dahl complimented Mr. Ruff and the Airports Commission
for taking a controversial issue and completing it successfully.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, to approve and adopt the new Hangar Rental Agreement Form for
the Municipal and Benton Airports. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

rent, for a term of two years with a single two year option. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
TRANSFER STATION
- Temporary Drop-Off Center
(S-020-650 & S-020-550)
Director of General Services Masingale recalled that the Solid Waste
Division assumed operation of the Voluntary Drop-off Center at the
Benton Transfer Station on March 20, 1990, after People of Progress
ceased operation of the center on March 19, 1990. Staff has evaluated
past and present programs, practices, and performances and concluded
that the Transfer Station can assume the activities of the Voluntary
Drop-off Center with little or no budgetary impact. It is the
recommendation of staff that Council approve funding to allow the
incorporation of the Voluntary Drop-off Center into the Transfer
Station facility.
189
4/17/90
Council Member Arness stated that he would like to review this matter
further and asked if action on this item may be continued to the
following Council meeting.
Mr. Masingale explained that resources will be stretched thin, but it
is possible to continue this item. He explained that staff would like
to keep the operation going and not have a break in service.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, to continue the matter of the transfer station incorporation
of the temporary drop-off center to May 1, 1990. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE PROGRAM
(T-080-400)
Public Works Director Galusha recalled that in April 1989, Public
Works staff formalized a draft study reviewing the projected traffic
impacts to the Redding area by the year 2010. Staff met with a
traffic task force created by the Builders' Exchange in July, 1989,
and reviewed the 20-year traffic plan. It was apparent that the 20-
year plan was unattainable and staff revised the program to reflect
transportation improvements for a ten-year plan.
Mr. Galusha submitted the Transportation Development Fee Program and
it is incorporated by reference herein. He conveyed that the
projected cost of traffic improvements is $35,122,000 and as
development continues and additional traffic studies are conducted,
the project list of improvements will grow. Staff, as well as the
task force, believe that a program which imposes an additional fee on
new construction is appropriate to fund the improvements; however, the
task force felt that the fees proposed by staff were too high and
unacceptable. Mr. Galusha added that even with the impact fee as
proposed, special benefit districts or spot development fees will
still be required.
It is the recommendation of staff that a public hearing be set for May
1, 1990, to review the proposed traffic impact fee.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Moss,
that a public hearing be set for 7:00 p.m., May 1, 1990, to review the
proposed traffic impact fee program. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

REDDING RODEO ASSOCIATION TICKET FACILITIES
(C-050-560)
City Attorney Hays conveyed that the Redding Rodeo Association has
proposed to construct a structure of a more permanent nature than the
one presently used as ticket facilities for the Rodeo grounds. The
location is in basically the same location as the present ticket
facility is. The Rodeo Association has also requested that the City
waive building permit and inspection fees. It is the recommendation
of the City Attorney that the proposal by the Rodeo Association to
build a permanent ticket facility at the Rodeo grounds be approved and
that Council waive the permit and inspection fees because of the
public nature of the facility.
In response to Council Member Arness' question, Mr. Hays stated that
the ticket facility will be up to Code.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, to approve the request by the Redding Rodeo Association to
