Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated August 11 , 1983, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended rezoning the properties fronting on Terrace Street from "R-3" Multiple Family Residential District to "R4-30-F" Multiple Family Residential District and "RM-9" Medium Low Density Multiple Family Residential Districts. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and the draft negative declaration was submitted to Council . 8/15/83 215 : 1 It is the recommendation of the Commission and staff that the portions of Terrace Street classified "Residential , 9.0 units per acre" be zoned "RM-9" Multiple Family Residential District and the portions of Terrace Street classified "Office/Residential" be zoned "R4-30-F" Multiple Family Residential District with the site-plan-review cri- teria specified in the proposed ordinance. Mr. Perry stated that the site-plan-review criteria are designed to minimize non-residential traffic on Terrace Street and minimize conflict between adjoining office and residential uses. It is further recommended that the negative declaration be ratified and an ordinance be offered for first reading. 4 Jim Harrison, Rt. 1 , Box 2962 , Anderson, said he purchased property on Terrace Street about nine months ago but was not notified of this hearing. His property is the lot immediately south of the proposed 3 R-4 zoning. Mr. Harrison said it is not his intention to hold up the rezoning but he has not received a satisfactory answer as to why the R-4 zoning is proposed to stop in the middle of the block. Mr. Perry explained that the General Plan presently draws that line. He stated that during the hearing process for the General Plan amend- ment, staff considered including the whole block but other property owners on that block were not interested at that time. Mr. Perry noted that a General Plan amendment would be necessary in order to rezone Mr. Harrison's property. Vi Klaseen, 595 Mary Street, stated she is co-owner of one of the parcels proposed to be rezoned to R-4-30F, and she did not get a notice of the hearing. She asked for clarification of the proposed zoning and stated that this is one of the most densely populated areas in Redding. Mrs. Klaseen was concerned about placing parking lots within residential areas and suggested that this be planned very carefully with green areas and landscaping surrounding the lots. Mr. Perry pointed out that the proposed rezoning is intended to protect the area as a residential-type use and explained that in the site-plan-review process, plants and landscaping will be required. Councilman Pugh noted that this proposal is a means to minimize the impact of parking on Terrace Street. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Demsher that Council makes the following findings re Rezoning Application RZ-11-83, by Dr. Dave Hankin and the City of Redding: { 1 .

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Councilman Pugh offered Ordinance No. 1647 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-11-83) . 8/15/83 216 F 2 PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-12-83, by City of Redding The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-12-83, by City of Redding. . The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission recommendation dated August 11 , 1983 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated August 11 , 1983. He stated that the Planning Commission has unanimously recommended rezoning of property located in the Cockerill Acres area along Alta Mesa from "U" Unclassified Dis- trict to "Rl-B20" Single-Family Residential District. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph, and a copy of the draft negative declaration and two letters concerning the rezoning were submitted to Council . Mr. Perry noted that not included in the zoning at this time is an area with duplexes and the KQMS radio station. He said it is felt that to make these uses non-conforming at this time was unnecessary. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the area be rezoned as depicted on the map entitled proposed zoning, that the negative declaration be ratified and an ordinance be offered for first reading. Ed Allen, 2081 Marlene, said he has had a contractors yard within the proposed rezoning area since 1956. He said his parcel is approxi- mately five acres and that he does not understand why his property could not remain "Unclassified" the same as the KQMS property. Mr. Perry advised that Mr. Allen' s property is a non-conforming use at the present time and has the potential of nine or ten lots fronting on Cockerill Drive. Asa Harl , 3472 Alta Mesa Drive, said he is concerned about the lots to be left unclassified. He said he owns a lot with duplexes on both sides and it would be illogical as a single-family lot. Mr. Harl stated that when prospective buyers ask the Planning Department about the zoning on his lot, they are told it has a single unit designation. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mayor Gard commented that anyone wishing to build on Mr. Harl 's lot would be required to obtain a use permit. Mr. Perry concurred.
