CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING
- re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-
1-89, by Tony LaBella (Quartz Hill Area)
(G-030-010)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Buffum opened the
continued public hearing regarding GPA-1-89.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Continued Public Hearing
Planning Department recommendation dated September 25, 1990
Senior Planner Keaney reviewed the Report to City Council dated
September 25, 1990, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Keaney recalled that the continued public hearing regarding GPA-1-
89, was continued to allow staff to respond to comments pertaining to
the adequacy of mitigation measures in the Supplemental EIR prepared
for the general plan amendment. Mr. Keaney referred to staff's
responses to the comments pertaining to EIR-1-82 which are dated
September 27, 1990, and incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Keaney noted that many of the traffic mitigations are of a
regional nature and outside the plan area and will occur with or
without this amendment. He conveyed that land suitability has to do
with topography and the property is suitable for development. He
added that staff is in receipt of a more accurate map depicting the
"Greenway" areas. With regard to soil erosion into Keswick Lake,
staff believes that with proper controls and due care, those problems
can be addressed. Mr. Keaney indicated that the Department of Fish
and Game submitted a letter dated September 17, 1990, which outlines
controls to protect water quality and prevent erosion.
Mr. Keaney noted that the Planning Commission's recommendation was to
classify the area "Residential, 2 units per acre," with the exception
of a small bulb in the southeast corner which would be classified 3
units per acre. It is also staff's recommendation that Council make
findings pursuant to Sections 19050 and 19051 of the CEQA guidelines
that Council has reviewed EIR-2-82 together with its Supplement and
find that changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated
into the project which substantially lessen the significant
environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. It is also
recommended that Quartz Hill Road north of Keswick Dam Road be
designated a four-lane arterial in the Circulation Element. The
amendment would be an amendment to the Quartz Hill Area Plan and the
policies of that Plan would apply.
Wendy Johnston, 2550 Quartz Hill, stated that the EIR does not address
the impacts of GPA-1-89 and the CEQA process is not being followed.
She noted that staff is comfortable dealing with the mitigation
measures during the subdivision map process; however, she asked for
assurance that mitigation will take place at that time.
461
10/2/90
Ms. Johnston referred to Comments regarding the Supplement to EIR-2-82
dated September 27, 1990, Comment #3, and noted that staff's response
to the statement that traffic will flow at Level of Service (LOS) E
is, "correct." She noted that LOS E is not consistent with the City's
general plan.
Regarding Comment #4 pertaining to difficulties in improving Quartz
Hill Road, Ms. Johnston stated that the EIR does not have to address
this; however, it is an issue. She indicated that there are
significant wetlands in the area, and the EIR does not address
wetlands. Ms. Johnston pointed out that if each of the proposed 1,000
parcels are assessed $1,000 for traffic impacts, that only results in
$1,000,000, which is not much to improve roads with. She pointed out
that there are two regional mall proposed for Interstate 5 and Oasis
Road.
Regarding Comment #14, that cumulative traffic impacts were not
addressed, Ms. Johnston asked if the City's response to Comment #14 is
referring to the the Quartz Hill Plan. Mr. Keaney replied no, the
traffic model staff is referring to is City wide.
Regarding Comment #21, Ms. Johnston pointed out that the EIR was
prepared in 1982 and since that time, the courts have upheld the need
to evaluate the cumulative effects of a series of projects. She
stated that Council should take this opportunity to look at cumulative
effects and the effects that this 350 acre development will have. Ms.
Johnston noted that being pro growth is okay; however, the people who
have lived in the area for ten years have rights also, and Council
should take time to look around and not make planning mistakes. She
added that there are some areas pertaining to planning where the City
could improve. She noted that EIR-2-82 may have been adequate for
1982, but it is not adequate for 1990. Ms. Johnston asked Council to
state what the mitigation measures are going to be. She said traffic
should be at LOS C, and if that goal cannot be met, a fee system to
finance improvements on Quartz Hill and Keswick Dam should be
implemented. She added that $1000 a parcel is not enough money to
widen roads and install signals, and there should be enough money
generated to build infrastructure so the taxpayers will not have to
pay for the improvements.
Noting that Buckeye School is at capacity, Ms. Johnston suggested that
another school site be designated. She said that Buckeye School
District has one designated school site and another site is needed.
She suggested that if another site is not designated in this
Supplement, then one should be designated later as more annexations
take place. Ms. Johnston asked Council to say that there will be no
net loss of wetlands pursuant to the Environmental Protection Agency
and Army Corp of Engineers' rules. Ms. Johnston also recommended that
the recommendations of the Department of Fish and Game pertaining to
water quality and erosion be included.
Virgil Weld, Civil and Traffic Engineer for the proposed development,
stated that staff has done a good job and he offered to answer any
questions pertaining to civil engineering.
Mayor Buffum asked about the status of the wetlands.
Laura Cott, North State Resources, Maraglia Street, stated that she
prepared the Supplement to EIR-2-82 in conjunction with the City of
Redding. She noted that a 1603 permit is issued by the Army Corp of
Engineers if any wetlands area is going to be disturbed. She noted
that it is an elaborate process and typically issued on a site
specific basis. She opined that it is inappropriate to issue the
permit at the planning level.
462
10/2/90
Marjie Jose, 2105 Quartz Hill Road, conveyed that she lives at the
intersection of Keswick Dam and Quartz Hill Road. She indicated that
she is concerned about air quality and how the LaBella development
will affect her home and lifestyle. She pointed out that Quartz Hill
Road is very steep and there will be a traffic problem when it snows.
Noting that all the traffic will be dumping onto Keswick Dam Road,
Ms. Joss recommended that the proposed Buenaventura Boulevard
extension be developed.
Mr. Perry explained that the Buenaventura Boulevard extension and
bridge will not be built until Quartz Hill Road and Keswick Dam Road
reach capacity. He added that in addition to the $1,000 fee per
parcel for traffic improvements, the City-wide traffic impact fee will
also be levied for a total of approximately $1800 to $2000 per unit.
Mr. Perry explained that the $1,000 fee will go towards traffic
improvements in the area, and the traffic impact fee will generate
funds for improvements at major congestion points on a region wide
basis. He added that fees for the improvement of Quartz Hill Road
have also been received from the Don D. Davis Subdivision.
Council Member Moss asked if there is a plan line for the extension of
Buenaventura Boulevard. Mr. Perry indicated that the plan line is
indicated on the general plan.
Council Member Moss suggested that the plan line be included in the
circulation element. Mr. Perry indicated that right-of-way for the
extension was required through the Sunset West Subdivision and staff
will continue to address the alignment of Buenaventura Boulevard where
private property is being developed.
In response to Mayor Buffum's concern about the steep slope area on
Quartz Hill Road, Mr. Perry noted that the City cannot guarantee
access on any City street during a snow storm. He explained that the
City's priority is to snowplow the inner-City streets and then plow
the residential areas.
Council Member Dahl asked staff to respond to the issue of school
siting.
Mr. Perry conveyed that a school site is indicated on the general
planeast of the LaBella property. He stated that the Buckeye School
District is looking for Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land because
it can be acquired for free. He added that Buckeye has enacted a
school impact fee, and they will receive approximately $2200 for each
home. Mr. Perry pointed out that building schools is a statewide
problem.
Council Member Dahl asked what the development fees will cost. Mr.
Perry stated that the development fees will total approximately $8,000
to $9,000 per unit.
Mayor Buffum asked if the Buckeye School district has responded to the
Supplemental to the EIR. Mr. Keaney indicated that Buckeye has not
responded.
Tom Gillette, stated that he lives near the LaBella subdivision. Mr.
Gillette reviewed the City's past action relating to utility service
in this area. Noting that a sewer lift station must also be built,
Mr. Gillette asked if the developer or the taxpayer is going to pay
the costs to serve the area. He pointed out that most of the
residents are on fixed incomes and they do not want to pay for it.
463
10/2/90
Public Works Director Galusha stated that water lines are in the area.
The developer will pay to extend the water lines and pay for the
sewer lift station, as well as the sewer lines and connection fees.
Mr. Perry added that the Buckeye School District was a proponent for
extending the sewer extension. He recalled that City Council told Mr.
LaBella that he had to annex the area prior to receiving City
services; and to annex, Mr. LaBella must have a general plan
amendment.
Mayor Buffum emphasized that the developer will pay for the costs to
provide water and sewer service, and she added that people are
entitled to develop their property. She explained that Council must
balance paying for growth with the growth. Mayor Buffum also stated
that affordable housing must be available to the community.
Ms. Johnston said that there is adequate affordable housing and she
referred to the Quail Ridge Subdivision, and Mr. LaBella's other
subdivision on Keswick Dam Road.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Arness noted that DKS is preparing a traffic study, and
when it is completed, Council will know if they implemented the
correct amount of traffic impact fee to build traffic improvements.
He suggested that when DKS is through, that would be the appropriate
time to place plan lines and connect streets where they make sense.
He noted that the City is looking at improving its grading ordinance
and working with the Department of Fish and Game in this area. There
are efforts being made to establish a tree ordinance, and a public
hearing will soon be held regarding signage in the City. Council
Member Arness expressed his appreciation for the Quartz Hill
resident's lifestyles, and said he does not want a flat-land City
either. He indicated that staff addressed the wetlands issue and
spoke with Buckeye School regarding utility service and school
location and size.
Council Member Moss conveyed his unhappiness with many examples of
subdivision grading in the City. He noted that developers are
"bulldozer happy" and this is not necessary to make a good project.
He indicated that he wants grading restrictions applied to this
subdivision. He added that there should be no mechanical grading
except when putting in roads and infrastructure. The lots should be
graded by hand and dirt removed by the owner so the earth will not be
left unprotected and subject to erosion. Council Member Moss conveyed
that it is an excellent piece of property for a subdivision. He
indicated that there are steep slope areas; and therefore, the
property would not be appropriate for slab floors.
Council Member Arness expressed his support for Council Member Moss'
ideas in concept; however, he pointed out that there are some
instances where this will not work.
Council Member Moss stated that staff is in receipt of a recent letter
from the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) and he conveyed that he
would like DFG's recommendations in the letter dated September 17,
1990, as well as grading restrictions, incorporated into the
subdivision map.
Mayor Buffum supported Council Member Moss' suggestions and stated
that she is not willing to approve the subdivision until the City has
a grading ordinance to protect the area. She indicated that it is
464
10/2/90
time to make sure the City has the regulations to protect the
environment.
Council Member Dahl noted that the field trip into the amendment area
gave Council an opportunity to rethink planning policies. He said
this is a very developable area, and the key is how it will be
developed. He stated that Council wants a grading ordinance with
teeth and sensitivity; however, he said the amendment request should
not be held up for the ordinance.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, to make findings pursuant to Sections 19050 and 19051 of the
CEQA Guidelines that Council has reviewed EIR-2-82 together with its
Supplement and that changes or alterations have been required in or
incorporated into the project which substantially lessen the
significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR;
approve General Plan Amendment GPA-1-89, as depicted on the exhibit
attached to the Report to City Council dated September 25, 1990,
titled "Planning Commission Recommendation, in concept, with the
understanding that new development standards will apply to this
subdivision; and amend the Circulation Element to designate Quartz
Hill Road north of Keswick Dam Road as a four-lane arterial.

Planning Commission recommendation dated September 27, 1990
City Clerk Nichols advised that no protests were received.

Planning Commission recommended approval to reclassify property from
"Office Residential" to "Retail." The zoning of the property is "U"
Unclassified. Mr. Perry conveyed that three of the parcels are vacant
land and one has an apartment complex. He explained that amending the
general plan is feasible because of existing land uses, the
commercial-retail zoning to the south, west, and east of the project
site; and the proximity of a major retail development 500 feet to the
east. Mr. Perry added that the zoning requires a use permit to be
obtained for any use other than a single-family residence on each lot.

and direct staff to submit an implementing resolution in December.

RESOLUTION ACCEPTING STREETS
- Acceptance of Final Map and
Improvements, Gold Hills Subdivision, Unit 4 (Around the Gold Hills
Golf Course, south of Oasis Road)
* (S-070-230 & S-100-237)
Public Works Director Galusha conveyed that the improvements in the
Gold Hills Subdivision, Unit 4, developed by Colburn R. and Valdene
Thomason, have been satisfactorily completed and all required fees
have been paid. The Final Map has been checked and found to be
technically correct.
470
10/2/90
Mr. Galusha stated that neighbors of the Gold Hills Subdivision, Unit
4, have expressed concern over three major items during the course of
construction of the project: aesthetics, effects of the subdivision
layout on fish and game, and flooding potential. He conveyed that
these topics were discussed at neighborhood meetings and in
correspondence. The developer has gone beyond City requirements for
landscaping the embankments, worked with the U.S. Department of Fish
and Game to mitigate erosion, and the Public Works Department has
determined that the neighbors' homes along Wee Burn Court are above
the 100-year flood elevation.
It is the recommendation of staff to accept the streets in the
subdivision for maintenance, accept the improvements, and record the
final map.
Linda Mahaffey, 1616 Wee Burn Court, said she is representing
concerned homeowners, and she lives across from Unit 4, of the Gold
Hills Subdivision. Ms. Mahaffey pointed out that the embankment is 20
feet high and there are no trees. She expressed concern about the
potential for flooding. She said she has met with officials and there
have been some positive measures taken; however, she explained that an
engineering firm's review of the matter questioned the potential for
flooding. Ms. Mahaffey submitted a letter from SHN Consulting
Engineers and Geologists dated October 2, 1990. She asked Council to
waive final approval until these concerns are addressed.
Mr. Galusha conveyed that an oversized culvert was installed, a
retention basin was built, the developer was required to completely
remove all fill from the stream, and improvements were developed to
handle a 100-year storm. He explained that the area was subject to
flooding with or without the urbanization of the Gold Hills
Subdivision.
Frank Sawyer, engineer with Sharrah, Dunlap & Associates, stated that
the firm stands by what they have proposed. With regard to the report
by SHN, he opined that it is a cursory review without knowledge of the
hydraulics that were prepared for this subdivision. He said the City
has gone to extreme lengths to satisfy the concerns of this
individual, and Sharrah Dunlap stands behind what has been done.
Noting that he has been involved with this matter, Council Member Dahl
stated that a lot of time and effort has been directed to this issue,
and he recommended that Council move forward and accept the
improvements.
Mr. Sawyer clarified that if there is some specific item that has been
overlooked, they will be liable for it, and if there is a problem,
they will do something about it.
Council Member Dahl asked Mr. Sawyer if he would respond to the report
by SHN, and Mr. Sawyer responded affirmatively.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Arness, that Resolution No. 90-489 be adopted, a resolution of the
City Council of the City of Redding accepting for maintenance and
operation Gold Hills Drive, MacGregor Court, and Breaburn Court in
Gold Hills Subdivision, Unit No. 4; and that the improvements in Gold
Hills Subdivision, Unit 4, be accepted as satisfactorily completed,
and the City Clerk be instructed to file the Final Map with the Shasta
County Recorder.

AWARD OF BID
- Bid Schedule No. 2378, Brochures, "Redding, Another
California"
(B-050-100)
Director of Finance Downing stated that the Community Services-Tourist
Bureau uses the brochures "Redding, Another California" for
promotional activities. Ms. Downing conveyed that the bid documents
for the brochures were inadvertently sent to 13 vendors who for the
most part do preparation and design work, rather than printing. She
stated that one bid was received from the House of Steno in the amount
of $10,173.44, which is a good and competitive bid. Because the bid
was not submitted to all qualified vendors, it is the recommendation
of staff to reject the sole bid and staff be directed to rebid the
project.
Rich Pernell, House of Steno, conveyed that he understands what
happened; however, House of Steno will be at a disadvantage if they
must rebid. He explained that their bid is now public record and it
will be difficult to submit another good competitive bid.
Mayor Buffum noted that an error was caused by the City when the two
lists were split out. She suggested that staff combine the lists into
one list and use some type of code to differentiate the two. She
conveyed that House of Steno is not at fault and the bid was honestly
submitted. She said it would not be fair to rebid.
Council Member Arness asked if the bid meets the requirements. Ms.
Downing responded, yes.
Council Member Moss stated that the City is at fault, and House of
Steno submitted a competitive bid.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, to award Bid Schedule No. 2378, brochures, " Redding, Another
California," to House of Steno, in the amount of $10,173.44. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes

Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council approved Abandonment Application A-4-90, in concept, and
subject to the approval of GPA-7-90, the applicant gaining title to
all affected parcels, retention of the area needed for the widening of
Dana Drive, retention of easements for utilities or the relocation of
same, and the merging of all parcels on the street into one parcel.
Mr. Perry indicated that when Lucky Lane is abandoned, the street will
revert to the City. As surplus property, the City can either sell the
street or trade it for equal value. Mr. Perry stated that the
developer is proposing that Lucky Lane be exchanged for right-of-way
for the widening of Dana Drive along the entire frontage of the
Greenway parcel. It is the recommendation of staff that Council
approve the First Amendment to the Land Use Agreement to exchange the
right-of-way of Lucky Lane for the widening of Dana Drive.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member
Arness, that Resolution No. 90-490 be adopted, a resolution of the

DIESTELHORST LANDING
- Third Office Building
(C-070-100)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that the
City received a grant in the amount of $240,000 to develop a third
building in the Nonprofit Office Park, Diestelhorst Landing. Mr.
Perry submitted a budget for the building and conveyed that the two
tenants will be the Red Cross and Big Brothers/Big Sisters, if they
respond affirmatively. A site plan for the project was submitted.
Mr. Perry noted that the pad is large enough for several different
building layouts. He indicated that the pad can accommodate either a
2,400 square-foot building or two 1,200 square-foot buildings.
Mr. Perry recalled that the City utilized the design services of Ron
Beyer for the first two buildings in the nonprofit office park. He
explained that the plans for the second building are on computer and
the same general building plan and specifications could be utilized
for the third building; thus saving staff time and expediting the
project. Mr. Beyer has offered to do the work for $11,000, the same
amount as for the second building.
It is the recommendation of staff to accept the budget for the third
building in the nonprofit office park and award the contract for
design services to Ron Beyer in an amount not-to-exceed $11,000.
Mayor Buffum stated her preference for one building and noted that it
is much more expensive to build multiple buildings and the dynamics of
groups change. Mayor Buffum opined that a Request for Proposal be
distributed and noted that there should be some variety with the
buildings.
Council Member Arness and Council Member Dahl expressed support for
staff's recommendation.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Moss,
to accept the budget for the third building in the Nonprofit Office
Park, Diestelhorst Landing, and award the architectural services to
