PUBLIC HEARING
- re Appeal of Grading Permit GP-90-122, by Shasta Enterprises
(5492 Airport Road)
(A-070-055)
The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Vice Mayor Moss opened the public
hearing re the Appeal of Grading Permit GP-90-122.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk.
16
8/6/91
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated July 25, 1991
City Clerk Nichols advised that no protests were received.
Principal Planner Keaney reported that the Planning Commission denied an
appeal by Shasta Enterprises of the conditions of approval of Grading Permit
GP-90-122. Mr. Keaney reviewed the background information. He conveyed that
the property is a long, rectangular, 74-acre parcel with 4,600 feet of
frontage on Airport Road. In November, 1990, the appellant commenced clearing
the property without the benefit of a clearing permit. The Public Works
Department dispatched an inspector to the site; and on November 9, Shasta
Enterprises contacted staff to obtain a grading permit. Shasta Enterprises
was advised to cease all activity until the application could be reviewed.
Mr. Keaney conveyed that clearing activity continued after this time. Due to
continued activity, a Notice of Hearing on Violation of Redding Municipal Code
was hand-delivered to the property owner's office, and Shasta Enterprises
subsequently applied for a grading permit. The permit application was then
considered by the Board of Administrative Review (BAR), and the conditions of
approval included planting 84 trees adjacent to the future frontage road and
seeding the area with a grass/wildflower mix. Shasta Enterprises objected to
those conditions; and after several months, the clearing permit was considered
for amendment by BAR again. BAR amended the condition to require planting
trees adjacent to the future curb line for Airport Road rather than the
frontage road.
It is the recommendation of staff to deny the appeal and uphold the conditions
approved by BAR at its meeting of May 8, 1991, and upheld by the Planning
Commission at its meeting of July 2, 1991. Mr. Keaney conveyed that a letter
dated August 6, 1991, was received from Shasta Enterprises today.
Randall Memeo, 400 Redcliff Drive, representing Shasta Enterprises, stated
that the staff report's comments regarding the clearing operation are
misleading. It is his understanding that when Shasta Enterprises was advised
to obtain a permit for clearing the property, the clearing operation was
ceased and a permit was applied for. Shasta Enterprises did not intentionally
disregard any City Code.
Mr. Memeo stated that Shasta Enterprises does not object to Condition #1, the
payment of a penalty in the amount of $1,489. Regarding Condition #2,
reseeding the property, Mr. Memeo said it was their understanding that this
was a remedial action because the property was clear. However, the property
has reseeded itself in those areas where grass was growing, and any additional
seeding is unnecessary at this time. Mr. Memeo conveyed that John Sharrah of
Sharrah, Dunlap & Associates examined the property and determined that there
was no erosion or run-off and reseeding is unnecessary.
Regarding Condition #3, Mr. Memeo conveyed that Shasta Enterprises' complaint
is not with the planting and irrigating of trees; but, where the trees should
be planted. When Airport Road is widened, there will be a number of ways to
access that property, and Shasta Enterprises perceives some difficulty in
planting trees now and ensuring their survival. Associated with that problem
will be the increased cost of widening Airport Road because of working around
the trees. Mr. Sharrah reviewed the matter, and in a letter to Shasta
Enterprises dated June 7, 1991, he indicated that there would be problems if
trees were planted now and suggested that trees be planted at the time
development occurs to ensure their survival. Noting that staff indicated
there would be administrative difficulties with that solution; and the future
property owner, not Shasta Enterprises, would be penalized, Mr. Memeo
suggested that a mechanism be provided to prepay the cost to the City.
Council Member Buffum asked if planting trees on the westerly boundary would
resolve the conflict. Mr. Keaney explained that the area to the west is
residential and the developer will be required to provide a landscaped buffer
along that portion of the property anyway. Less clearing was done in that
area, and there is currently dense vegetation and live oak growing there. On
the south half of the property is a common property line between two
industrial developments, and this would typically be an area reserved for
parking and storage yards.
17
8/6/91
Council Member Buffum asked what the time frame for widening Airport Road is.
Mr. Keaney indicated that it would depend on how fast Shasta Enterprises
develops the property.
Council Member Arness opined that there will not be a great change in the
alignment of Airport Road because it is very straight. Noting that Shasta
Enterprises' logic of not knowing where to plant trees because they do not
know what will happen to the property does not make sense. If they do not
know what they are going to do with the property, why did they remove the
trees.
Mr. Keaney remarked that Mr. Memeo's comment about there being several ways to
access Airport Road is not true--access onto Airport Road will be very
limited. Mr. Keaney identified where those access points would be and
conveyed that these two points are opposite existing street intersections.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member Fulton,
that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Based on Mr. Keaney's statement where the intersections will be and that
staff knows where the right-of-way for Airport Road is located, Council Member
Arness recommended that the trees be planted now. The only question is what
the quality of the trees shall be.
Mr. Keaney conveyed that the Conditions of Approval require 15-gallon trees.
Council has the option to require 24" box trees; however, in five years, the
difference between the two would not be noticeable.
Council Member Fulton said it does not make sense to plant the trees now--it
is more important to plant them at the time of development.
Mr. Keaney explained that Airport Road is already established as a 110-foot-
wide expressway, and it will be widened based on the existing center line.
Vice Mayor Moss stated that Condition #3 requires irrigation; however, a
stipulation should be included to guarantee that if the trees die within a
certain period of time, the trees will be replaced.
City Attorney Hays questioned how long the guarantee should be.
Vice Mayor Moss stated that the trees should be guaranteed until the property
is developed. He added that the Conditions should also stipulate that any
trees removed for further site development will be replaced at the designation
of the Planning Department on a one-to-one basis.
Mr. Keaney conveyed that replacement of trees removed for site development
would normally be covered under site development. He also suggested that
Condition #4 be modified to indicate an October 1, 1991, planting date.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Buffum, to
deny the Appeal of Grading Permit GP-90-122, by Shasta Enterprises, and uphold
the Conditions of Approval for GP-90-122 and amend the Conditions as follows:
the applicant shall be responsible for the life of the trees until the
property is passed on to another property owner and all tree planting shall be
completed by October 1, 1991. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Dahl
absent.
LOCAL CHILD CARE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANNING COUNCIL
(B-080-650)
Vice Mayor Moss recommended that Recreation Superintendent Stan Sherer be
nominated to represent the City of Redding on the Local Child Care and
Development Planning Council being formed by the Shasta County Office of
Education and the Shasta County Board of Supervisors.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Buffum, to
nominate Recreation Superintendent Stan Sherer to represent the City on the
Local Child Care and Development Planning Council. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
with Mayor Dahl absent.

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
(L-040-300)
City Manager Christofferson reviewed the Report to City Council dated August
2, 1991, which is incorporated herein by reference. He recommended that
Council oppose AB1905 which relates to the Subdivision Map Act. Mr.
Christofferson recommended that Council advise Senator Thompson of Council's
position; and should the bill make it through the Senate, send a letter to
Governor Wilson urging his veto of the bill.
Mr. Christofferson also recommended that Council support SB243 which relates
to the redistribution of property tax negotiations between cities, counties,
and other jurisdictions after annexation. He outlined modifications to the
bill that relate to our local situation that staff recommended and suggested
that it would be constructive to request the amendments.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member Arness, to
authorize the Mayor to send letters to legislators and the appropriate
committees in opposition of AB1905 and support of SB243. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes with Mayor Dahl absent.
UTILITY USER'S TAX PROCEEDS
(T-100-900)
City Manager Christofferson conveyed that Mayor Dahl requested this item be
placed on the agenda to "forewarn" Council Members that at the meeting of
August 20, 1991, discussion will be held regarding the prioritization of
projects for the expenditure of proceeds from the utility user tax. Mr.
Christofferson submitted a draft of the Report to City Council for the August
20 meeting. He outlined the report which included the following proposals
Council Members expressed in the past: increased support for the library;
compensation for losses arising out of State action and restoration of the
reserve fund; unfinanced needs as shown on A-10 and A-11 of the Annual Budget;
augmentation of public safety services; traffic improvements; and park
projects.
City Manager Christofferson noted that this is an information item and no
action is necessary.

Electrical Workers, Electric Unit
(P-100-050-070)
City Manager Christofferson recalled that staff has been negotiating with the
IBEW Electric Unit over the past several months. He recommended that Council
ratify the Memorandum of Understanding with the IBEW Electric Unit. Mr.
Christofferson outlined some of the provisions of the agreement.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Buffum,
that Resolution No. 91-327 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the
City of Redding approving the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding
between the City of Redding and the International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, Local Union 1245, with respect to certain employees of the Electric

marketing services in the Redding area. Funding is contained in the 1991-92
City budget in the amount of $50,000 for marketing and $30,350 for Enterprise
Zone marketing and administration. Mr. Christofferson noted that the
agreement contains quantitative goals and objectives against which the success
of the program's efforts can be measured. He recommended that Council approve

RIVERFRONT LAND MASTER PLAN
(C-070-220)
Principal Planner Keaney recalled that the City is working with a citizen's
committee and the consulting firm of Wallace, Roberts, and Todd on the
preparation of a master plan for the properties along the Sacramento River.
Mr. Keaney questioned whether it would be appropriate to hold a joint meeting
with the committee and City Council. It is the opinion of staff and the
committee that there are several options that are mutually exclusive and it
would be beneficial to have some dialogue.
Vice Mayor Moss stated that he and Mayor Dahl met with the consultants last
week. He is concerned because the City hired a consultant to write the
riverfront plan, and it appears the committee is writing the plan. He
recalled that Council appointed a citizen's committee to provide input to the
consultant. He suggested that this matter be continued until Mayor Dahl
returns.
Council Member Buffum said this is not any ordinary committee. Four of the
people on this committee are on City commissions and three members represent
other entities in the community.
Vice Mayor Moss reiterated that Council hired a consultant to prepare a
riverfront plan and the proposal included input from a citizen's committee.
In the original concept, the consultant was going to write the plan.
Council Member Buffum said it was her understanding that the committee was to
work with the consultant. She said the issue is too big to have a two-member
subcommittee of the Council working on this--all five Council Members should
be present at such meetings. She opposed any two Council Members speaking for
five Council Members.
Vice Mayor Moss said they wanted to find out where the consultants were
heading, and the Council liaison was out of order and not able to be there.
In addition, Council had not had any contact with the committee in two months.
Council Member Buffum noted that Minutes were coming through.
Council Member Arness asked why hire a consultant if their expertise is not
going to be used. If there are differences of opinion between the
commissions, he would prefer that the commissions get together and dialogue
what their input to the consultant will be. Council will have the benefit of
an opinion which may be different than the committee's opinion. He would
prefer that the commissions work with the committee, and then Council meet
with the consultant. He does not have a problem with two members of Council
meeting together on this issue, because dialogue is happening. Council Member
Arness agreed that the matter should be tabled until the next meeting.
Vice Mayor Moss stated that if Council meets with the committee, it would be
appropriate to have the consultants there also.
Council Member Buffum agreed. She noted that when Council started this
project, a joint meeting with the commissions was held. It took several
hours, but the job got done and everyone had a chance to be heard. She said
we can work on a consensus.
20
8/6/91
Vice Mayor Moss said he is concerned about the process. This is a committee
of advocates working for their particular field and a certain majority has
determined the direction they are going.
Council Member Buffum said the commissions had an opportunity at the beginning
to make some general comments, and they did not do that. At this point,
Council could have a joint meeting to determine if things are on track or not.
She emphasized that Council will make the final decision.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Buffum, to
continue the matter of the Riverfront Properties Master Plan for two weeks
until a full Council is present. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Dahl
absent.
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY
- 2595 Lake Redding Drive
(C-070-010)
Principal Planner Keaney recalled that at the meeting of July 2, 1991, City
Council referred to the Recreation and Parks Commission and the River and
Waterways Commission the question of whether or not the City should seek to
acquire property at 2595 Lake Redding Drive.
Mr. Keaney stated that the River and Waterways Commission recommended that, if
possible, the entire property be acquired. However, if that is not possible,
they recommended that the City acquire a strip of land along the River not
less than 100 feet wide. The Recreation and Parks Commission recommended that
the City acquire 100 feet along the river and the developer be given credit
for in-lieu park fees from the dedication because the 45 feet above the 100-
year floodplain would be used for trail purposes.
Mr. Keaney questioned if Council would like to consider acquisition of the
property. He noted that a tentative subdivision map for this property was
recently approved by the Planning Commission. A condition of the subdivision
requires that the 100 feet adjacent to the river be dedicated to the City. It
is staff's recommendation that Council not acquire the property.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Buffum, to
take no action on the acquisition of property at 2595 Lake Redding Drive. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Dahl absent.
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY
- Bureau of Land Management Land in Southwest Oregon
Gulch
(C-070-010)
Principal Planner Keaney recalled that several years ago, Council directed
staff to seek acquisition of 150 acres managed by the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) in Southwest Oregon Gulch. The matter has been ongoing since
1986 when a halt was placed on BLM land transfers nationwide. A recent policy
change allows BLM to trade land in order to consolidate its land holdings in
the area. In order for the City to acquire property in Southwest Oregon
Gulch, BLM is proposing a three-way arrangement among BLM, Dan Tucker, and the
City. Mr. Tucker would trade his property on the Trinity River for land owned
by BLM in Southwest Oregon Gulch, and Mr. Tucker would then sell Southwest
Oregon Gulch property to the City at fair market value.
Mr. Keaney explained that the City would then own three key properties on
which to create a landfill, if the need arose in the future. The property is
shown as "Public" on the Redding General Plan and within the City limits. He
noted that if the City is not going to pursue acquisition of this property,
Council should look at what the future of those properties is going to be. It
is the recommendation of staff to proceed with an exchange agreement for
Council's consideration and authorize staff to obtain an appraisal on the
property.
Council Member Arness expressed appreciation for staff's proposal. Noting
that the "Public" zoning includes a variety of uses, he questioned if the site
would be designated a landfill. Mr. Keaney conveyed that either in the short
term or long term, if Council is going to use the site for a landfill, State
law requires that it be so designated.
Council Member Arness asked if staff recommend buying this property for
anything other than a landfill. Mr. Keaney noted that it has potential
21
8/6/91
recreational uses; but, with the amount of recreation land available, he does
not know if that would be necessary.
In response to Council Member Arness' question, City Attorney Hays conveyed
that an appraisal would cost less than $5,000.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Fulton, to
direct staff to proceed with the development of an exchange agreement for City
Council's consideration and authorize staff to obtain an appraisal on property
owned by the Bureau of Land Management in Southwest Oregon Gulch. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Dahl absent.
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP S-2-91
- Potter Estates, by Eagle Homes and
Development
(S-100-602)
Council was advised that the Planning Commission has granted permission to
subdivide 115 acres into 380 single-family residential lots, located at the
eastern terminus of Saturn Skyway, described as Tentative Subdivision Map S-2-
91, Potter Estates. A map of the area and a copy of the conditions of
approval were submitted to Council. This was an information item.
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP S-9-91
- Rusty Estates Subdivision, by Dean Roesner
(S-100
Council was advised that the Planning Commission has granted permission to
subdivide 3.42 acres into 11 single-family residential lots and one duplex
lot, located near Michael Lane, an undeveloped easement intersecting the east
side of Churn Creek Road between Harpole Road and De Moll Drive, described as
Tentative Subdivision Map S-9-91, Rusty Estates. A map of the area and a copy
of the conditions of approval were submitted to Council. This was an
information item.

subdivide 2.95 acres into seven single-family residential lots, located off
Lake Redding Drive, described as Tentative Subdivision Map S-45-90, Mora Court
Subdivision. A map of the area and a copy of the conditions of approval were
submitted to Council. This was an information item.
RESOLUTION
- Renaming Portion of Hawley Road to Churn Creek Road
(S-070-230)
Principal Planner Keaney reported that the Planning Commission recommended
that Council rename a portion of Hawley Road to Churn Creek Road. Mr. Keaney
explained that the name change is necessitated by the recent extension of
Churn Creek Road north from Dana Drive. From its connection to Churn Creek
Road, Hawley Road continues northward approximately 4,000 feet; and under
consideration for a name change is only 2,000 feet of Hawley Road. The
Planning Commission recommended that the portion of Hawley Road north of

ORDINANCE
- Rezoning Application RZ-1-91, by W-4- Ltd. (5051 Caterpillar Road)
(L-010-230)
Principal Planner Keaney recalled that Council approved Rezoning Application
RZ-1-91, by W-4-Ltd., in concept, and directed staff to prepare an ordinance
22
8/6/91
for adoption. This action approved rezoning property from "M-2-F" Industrial
and "U" Unclassified to "RM-18" Multiple Family Residential and "U-F"
Unclassified Districts. The recently adopted general plan classifications for
this property are "Residential 18.0 units per acre" and "Greenway." It is the
recommendation of staff to adopt the ordinance.
Mr. Keaney recommended that, for the benefit of future mapping, the actual
rezoning line follow the drainage swale depicted on the Vu-Graph rather than
the
old existing property line. He conveyed that this has no substantial effect
on future development of the property.
Council Member Arness offered Ordinance No. 1965 for first reading, an
ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Section
18.06.020 of the Redding Municipal Code relating to the rezoning of certain
real property in the City of Redding (RZ-1-91); and modify the ordinance to
depict the rezoning line to follow the drainage swale rather than the existing
property line.

Assistant City Attorney Calkins stated that the purpose of this hearing is to
determine the public convenience and necessity for the acquisition of a real
property interest for the realignment and improvement of the intersection
located at Eastside Road and South Bonnyview Road. Mr. Calkins noted that the

intersection. The Plan Line for the project was adopted in 1981, and the
Circulation Element of the General Plan adopted this proposal in 1985. The
area to be acquired is 1,996 feet of the southerly portion of his property;
and assuming possession of the property, the project should be completed this
Fall.

RESOLUTIONS
- Public Convenience and Necessity for Eminent Domain Proceedings
(C-070-010 & S-070-100)
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Proof of
Service by Mail of the Resolution of Public Convenience and Necessity
requiring the acquisition of property for public purposes.
Assistant City Attorney Calkins conveyed that the purpose of this hearing is
to determine the public convenience and necessity for the acquisition of real
property interests required for the widening of Old Alturas Road.
Mr. Calkins conveyed that the widening of Old Alturas Road was a condition of
a use permit issued to Douglas Bradford & Associates for the development of
the Shasta Crossroads Shopping Center. He explained that the City is required
to go forward with condemnation pursuant to Section 66462.5 of the Government
Code which states that the City may not postpone or refuse approval of a final
23
8/6/91
map which requires the developer to construct off-site improvements on land
which neither the developer nor the local agency has an interest in. If the
City fails to initiate eminent domain proceedings within the 120-day
limitation, the condition for construction of improvements is waived. Mr.
Calkins conveyed that the developer is responsible for all costs related to
the acquisition.
Public Works Director Galusha stated that the realignment project will widen
Old Alturas Road between Bradford Way and 500 feet east of Victor Avenue, and
the road will be upgraded to a higher design standard both in alignment and
road width. Mr. Galusha explained that the alignment was approved by the
Public Works Department based on a Shasta County road design, and the overall
objective is to improve traffic safety and build this project before bad
weather sets in.
Mr. Calkins stated that a letter was received from Edward Gorge requesting to
speak; however, it appears that Mr. Gorge is not in the audience.
City Attorney Hays conveyed that what Mr. Galusha said relates to all of the
parcels with regard to public need and necessity for right-of-way. It is the
recommendation of staff to adopt the resolutions of public convenience and
necessity.
