Combining District requiring minimum lot sizes as established on the recorded
subdivision map. The application was initiated to comply with a condition of

reflect the range of lot sizes within the subdivision and provide notice that
further lot splitting could not occur. It is the recommendation of both the
Planning Commission and staff that Council ratify the Negative Declaration,
rezone the subject property to "R1-BFM" Single Family Residential District,

(L-010-230 & S-100-609-600)

regarding Rezoning Application RZ-20-91.
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 January 27, 1992
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry indicated that the Planning
Commission recommended approval of the rezoning of 27 acres of property
located at the northeast corner of Shasta View Drive and Rancho Road from "U"
Unclassified District to "R1-BFM" Single Family Residential District. The
rezoning application is required by the conditions of approval of the Rancho
Estates subdivision, which will be constructed on the property. He related
that factors taken into consideration included the existing General Plan
classification of the property and the lot sizes proposed by the tentative
map. A transfer of density to the subdivision occurred as a result of the
impending gift of a school site to the Pacheco Union Elementary School
District, resulting in lot sizes somewhat smaller than what would normally be
anticipated under the existing General Plan classification.
It is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and staff that
Council approve Rezoning Application RZ-20-91, rezoning the subject property
to R1-BFM, ratify the Negative Declaration and offer the ordinance for first
reading.
Mayor Dahl determined that there was no one present who wished to speak on
this matter.

PUBLIC HEARING
- Appeal of Lot Split Application LS-33-91, by Shasta
Enterprises (5976 Old Oregon Trail-Northeast end of Redding Municipal Airport)
(L-010-150)
The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public hearing
regarding the appeal of Lot Split Application LS-33-91.
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 January 30, 1992
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received.
62
02/04/92
Principal Planner Keaney related that Shasta Enterprises has appealed the
decision of the Planning Commission concerning two conditions of approval for
Lot Split LS-33-91 on property located at 5976 Old Oregon Trail, at the
northeast end of Redding Municipal Airport. The appealed conditions concern
road improvements and an open-space easement for emergency aircraft landing.
The project site is located within the Redding Municipal Airport Area Plan, is
zoned "U" Unclassified, and has a General Plan designation of "Planned
Industrial" with an acquisition overlay.
Mr. Keaney explained that the lot split application was approved by the Board
of Administrative Review (BAR) on October 30, 1991, and granted the applicant,
Shasta Enterprises, permission to divide 4.78 acres into three industrial
lots. The applicant then appealed to the Planning Commission for
reconsideration of two conditions of approval. The Commission at its November
26, 1991, meeting upheld the appeal and modified the two conditions challenged
by Shasta Enterprises. Although not explicit in the letter of appeal to
Council, staff assumes the same two conditions considered by the Planning
Commission are the main issue of the appeal.
Mr. Keaney indicated that the applicant's main concerns are Conditions 4 and 5
of the lot split:
(1) Condition 4 - The Planning Commission, due to the isolated location and
rare pedestrian or bicycle usage, amended the condition to reduce the
improvements of the off-site portion of the roadway from a 32-foot width of
paving to a 24-foot width. This off-site portion extends northerly and then
westerly from the project site for a distance of approximately 2,600 feet to
connect to the existing paved portion of Old Oregon Trail.
Mr. Keaney conveyed that the applicant contends that the City should share in
the cost of the road improvements as it shares access in order to reach its
facility south of the project site (previously Evergreen Helicopters). The
applicant has suggested a cost-reimbursement mechanism and feels that the off-
site improvements are unreasonable to attach to the development of a small
parcel. The Planning Commission disagreed and felt the subdivision should
have paved access.
(2) Condition 5 - The requirements were reviewed by the Planning Commission
to at least partly accommodate the concerns of the applicant. Originally, the
conditions required the 64-foot strip along the west property line be an open-
space easement. An open-space easement would mean no use of the area
including nonstructural uses such as parking. As amended by the Planning
Commission, the condition is a building setback line and restricts structures
but no other uses. The main point of the appellant seems to be that it is
inappropriate to apply restrictions at the time of parcel map recording since
it unfairly reduces site design options for the developer. It is the opinion
of staff that applying restrictions at the time of subdivision is precisely
the intent of the Airport Area Plan safety policies and gives the applicant
and his architect clear design guidelines.
It is the position of Planning staff and the Airports Director that the open
space be reserved at the time of land division in order to attain a feasible,
contiguous, emergency-landing zone adjacent to the taxiway, rather than a
disjointed, unusable open-space area dictated by the future placement of
structures on a lot. Policy 3e of the Airport Area Plan states that the open
space be provided at the time of "subdivision, land division, and design
review." This is consistent with City action on subdivisions and lot splits.
It is staff's opinion that Council should deny the appeal as described in
Alternative 1, in the report to City Council dated January 30, 1992,
incorporated herein by reference. Planning staff acknowledges that the
requirement to pave 2,600 lineal feet is extremely expensive for the
development of one parcel, however, should not be used as a basis to delete
the condition. If the Airport proceeds to develop the east side of the main
runway, the Airport will have to build the road; but that development is many
years away. Shasta Enterprises always has the ability to pursue forming an
assessment district with other involved properties. A reimbursement agreement
is outside the conditions of the parcel map and should be pursued separately
with the Airports Commission and Council.

In response to Council Member Moss, Public Works Director Galusha related that
staff would rather see a 32 foot roadway, versus a 24 foot roadway, which
provides two 12 foot driving lanes and is considered minimal.
Jim Elkins, of Pace Engineering, representing Shasta Enterprises, explained
that the existing and ultimate primary user of the gravel road is the City of
Redding, and the cost of the road development is being put entirely upon this
parcel map. He related that the 64-foot building setback line is unnecessary,
as the setbacks between the Airport Area Plan are doubled compared to the
planned industrial district. The required conditions would increase open
space requirements for setbacks from 15 percent to 30 percent. Given the
substantial buffer zone around the entire perimeter of the property, and the
fact that the setbacks in the Municipal Area Plan are double those of a
planned industrial district, the additional setback is viewed as being
unnecessary.
In response to Council Member Arness, Planning and Community Development
Director Perry stated the intent of focusing on the westerly property line was
to eliminate buildings being developed in case of an airplane crash. He
indicated that the open space can be used for such things as car parking, and
in this case, aircraft parking, with the only requirement being that the area
be structure free.
Don Hildebrand, Shasta Enterprises, stated that the subject parcel map differs
from a tentative subdivision map in terms of the Map Act. He related that it
is his understanding that the City has tolerated the use of this roadway for
many years for its own benefit, and now an applicant files a small parcel map
and is imposed with over 2,600 feet of road improvements. He stated that
there is an existing road which is being utilized, and to have one small two
acre property owner, upon development of his property, improve the roadway to
the extent required is unreasonable. He asked Council to uphold the appeal.
He related that due to the fact that the City would receive benefit from this
roadway, it is felt that the City should sponsor some type of
reimbursement/shared cost mechanism. He said that Shasta Enterprises is
willing to pay for its share of the development, but feels that those
individuals who utilize the roadway and would benefit from its development
should also participate, otherwise the cost burden of development would be
unreasonable.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Arness, that
the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Arness stated that possibly the project is premature; however,
there is a definite benefit to the property by developing the roadway. He
questioned if there was some type of acquisition assessment district which
could be developed, whereby subsequent users of the roadway would be required
to pay a proportionate share of the cost.
Council Member Fulton stated that he partially agrees with Council Member
Arness, however, stated that the conditions placed upon the applicant are
demanding a great deal. He related that something needs to be done to make
the project more realistic for the property owners.
Council Member Moss concurred with staff's recommendation as to the alignment
of the clear zone, so as to get the maximum benefit. He indicated that he has
problems with Shasta Enterprises being required to construct a half mile of
roadway through other private lands, who will benefit from a windfall savings
of development costs. He also inquired as to some type of district being
created, whereby Shasta Enterprises could receive back a proportionate amount
of the cost.
Mr. Perry stated that a benefit district could be created, which basically
allows the City or an agent to pay the up-front costs and then obtain
reimbursement as other parties develop. Another option would be for Shasta
Enterprises and other properties owners in the area to establish an assessment
district to pay for at least a center line, with parking lanes, curb and
gutter, and sidewalk put in as adjoining properties are developed. He
indicated that water will also need to be brought into the area.
64
02/04/92
Council Member Moss stated he has problems with the City participating in a
benefit district, as it has invested several million dollars in the area,
which have made these properties considerably more valuable.
Council Member Arness related that possibly the owners in the area should also
consider bringing water and sewer into the area.

MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Moss, to
deny Shasta Enterprises' appeal of Lot Split Application LS-33-91 on both the

ORDINANCE NO. 1987
- re Handbills
(C-110-100)
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Arness, that
the full reading of Ordinance No. 1987 be waived and the City Attorney be
instructed to read the full title. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Moss related that a great deal of concern has been expressed by
the citizens of Redding concerning the proposed handbill ordinance. He opined
that the City does not have the right to issue permits for people to trespass.
He indicated that he spoke with the City Clerk and agrees that it would be
quite expensive to maintain a file of those individuals who do not wish to
receive handbill distribution. He stated that if the City finds it cannot
restrict the distribution of unsolicited handbills, the ordinance should then
be brought back before Council for revision.
City Attorney Hays stated that private property owners can prohibit
distribution on their property by posting no solicitation signs. He related
that the issue before Council is whether or not government has the right to
exercise prior restraint and the courts position is that local government
should not be involved with right of speech.
Council Member Moss explained that the City is not fulfilling its obligation
if it allows a permit to be issued without notifying the distributor of those
individuals who do not wish to receive handbill distributions.
Mr. Hays commented that a provision can be added, whereby the licensed
distributor would not be permitted to make distributions at residences where
the property owner has posted a sign indicating no solicitation.
Mayor Dahl suggested that the ordinance be adopted and reviewed in six months.
Mr. Hays stated that the handbill ordinance needs to be a cooperative effort
between the residents and the City to ensure proper compliance.
Council Member Arness stated that he would not favor the City Clerk's office
being the recipient of calls from individuals who do not wish to receive
handbill distributions.
Bill Neikirk, President of Tanglewood II Homeowners Association, related that
individuals which he has spoken with oppose the new ordinance and discussions
with City staff indicate that many phone calls have been received in
opposition. He views this as being an invasion of privacy, as permission is
not being given by the property owners to allow distribution upon their
property. He commented that the new ordinance will cause public nuisance,
contribute to litter, and create more trash for the City landfill to process.
In addition, he stated that it will create a liability for the private
property owners if an individual is injured on their property while making a
distribution. He opined that the distributor should be required to first mail
out a self-addressed envelope asking if the property owner would like to
receive the distribution. He opined that no one has the right to force
unwanted information upon individuals, just as no one has the right to force
an individual to turn on the radio or television. He requested Council not
amend the handbill ordinance.

(A-050-060-555 & B-130-070)

recommendation that a Fiscal Impact Statement requirement be developed by the
Council's Finance Committee and submitted to the full Council for
consideration.
It is the recommendation of the Finance Committee that a resolution be adopted
requiring that a Fiscal Impact Statement accompany every major proposal
considered by Council, indicating how much each new law or regulation is going
to cost the City.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Arness, that

of Redding establishing and adopting a policy entitled "Fiscal Impact
Statements," requiring a fiscal impact statement to accompany every major
proposal considered by City Council.

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
(L-040-070 & L-040-150)
Assistant City Manager McMurry related that AB183 was defeated last week by
the Assembly Ways and Means Committee; therefore, no action is required on the
part of Council.
Mr. McMurry indicated that the Statewide Growth Conference is scheduled in
Sacramento on February 20-21, 1992. In light of reducing travel expenses, he
requested Council's direction as to if a staff member should plan on attending
this conference.
Council Member Arness stated that he plans to attend the conference; however,
he recommends that a staff member also attend.
Mayor Dahl directed staff to determine which staff member should attend the
Statewide Growth Conference.
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP S-11-91

Resolutions - Property Tax Exchange Agreements re Annexation 90-14, Fairway
Oaks Mobile Home Estates, Annexation 90-16, Viking Way Area, Annexation 90-18,
Power Line Road Area, Annexation 91-2, Rancho Road II, and Annexation 91-4,
Keswick Dam Road
(T-010-650 & A-150- )
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council, at
its November 5, 1991 meeting, directed staff to initiate revised Property Tax
Exchange Agreements on all annexations pending at LAFCO. The Agreements give
Shasta County 100% of the Base Year Tax and 100% of all annual tax increment
revenue that was allocated to Shasta County prior to annexation. The
Agreements provide Redding 100% of the Base Year Tax and 100% of all annual
tax increment revenue that was allocated to the Shasta County Fire Protection
District before annexation.
Mr. Perry explained that the County can continue to collect Proposition B
monies from those parcels annexed into the City, which basically contractually
obligated itself to pay that money, and can be collected by the County until
such time as the debt is paid in full. Operating under this premise, the
properties annexed into the City will continue to pay Proposition B monies to
the County, $20.00 per parcel, until such time as the debt is paid in full and
does not need to be specifically referenced in the Property Tax Exchange
Agreement. He indicated that the $20.00 is separate from the seven percent
the City is scheduled to receive.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Arness, that
resolutions of the City Council of the City of Redding be adopted involving
property tax transfers between the County of Shasta and the City of Redding as
follows: (1) Resolution No. 92-51 re Annexation No. 90-14, Fairway Oaks
Mobile Home Estates; (2) Resolution No. 92-52 re Annexation No. 90-16, Viking
Way Area; (3) Resolution No. 92-53 re Annexation No. 90-18, Power Line Road
Area; (4) Resolution No. 92-54 re Annexation No. 91-2, Rancho Road II, and

OFFER TO SELL LAND TO CITY ON CHURN CREEK
- by Gene Hill
(C-070-010)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry explained that the City
received a letter in November, 1991, from Gene Hill offering to sell property
on Churn Creek, adjacent to the proposed Enterprise Community Park, to the
City. In response, the City Council referred the offer to the Planning
Commission, the Recreation and Parks Commission, and the River and Waterways
Commission.
The Planning Commission and the River and Waterways Commission both
recommended acquisition of the property and the Recreation and Parks
Commission recommended acquisition subject to not using City funds.
Mr. Perry indicated that potential sources of funding to acquire the property
include the following: (1) Park development funds; (2) In-lieu park fees
(Enterprise area); and (3) Grant application. He stated that the grant
application could be a 50/50 grant request to a new State program, under the
Habitat Conservation Fund. The application for this program would need to be
filed by March 1, 1992; however, if approved, funds would not be available
until October. If the grant were not approved, the City would have to rely on
its own funding.
Mr. Perry stated that from staff's perspective, it is not desirable to have a
potential house adjacent to the future multi-use park with access through the
park. It is, therefore, recommended that staff be authorized to obtain an
appraisal and that staff be directed to submit an application for partial
grant funding if Mr. Hill can work within the grant time frame. He related
that a request for proposals is being circulated to prepare a master plan for
the Enterprise Park, and whether or not the property is part of the park will
be important to the overall design.

MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Arness,
directing staff to obtain an appraisal on Gene Hill's property, comprised of

application for grant funding. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
