AMENDMENT TO TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP S-18-83 - Mary Lake, Unit 1 (S-100-454) Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that the Planning Commission has approved an amendment to Tentative Subdivision Map S-18-83, Mary Lake, Unit 1 , providing for an increase of 12 lots , a connection to Placer Street, and a cul-de-sac at the north end of the road in the subdi- vision. PROPOSED INTERSECTION MODIFICATION - Court and Placer Streets (T-080-700) Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated June 14, 1984, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that the Traffic and Parking Commission has considered modifications to the Court and Placer Streets intersection to reduce the existing accident frequency and provide for projected traffic volume increases. The staff proposal would remove four feet of existing 12-foot sidewalk to increase the roadway width from 56 feet to 64 feet curb to curb. Mr. Arness said the additional roadway surface will allow for five lanes at the intersection to be used for two travel lanes in each direction and a lane for protected left turning movements. He added that in order to accomplish the modifications, parking would have to be prohibited. A historical background was presented to Council . Mr. Arness advised that property owners in the area have expressed concerns dealing with the loss of on-street parking and tree removal . Staff has modified the original design to allow for the trees to remain. However, it 6/18/84 165 was pointed out that if accidents occur and the left turn lane needs to be extended, the trees would have to be removed as a part of the improvements. It was noted that staff is proposing to add trees along the street. Mr. Arness said staff recognizes the value of both on and off-street parking; however, the proposed modification is believed to be in the best interest of the general public. He pointed out numerous examples where safety and growth have required that parking be removed from City streets. It is the recommendation of the Traffic and Parking Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff that Council endorse the project and establish the proposed parking prohibition which will become effective at the time of construction. Mr. Arness noted that the funding proposal is based on the project being approved as a FAU project with up to 80 percent Federal funding. A resolution was submitted for consideration. Council Member Pugh asked about accident data at this intersection and the nature of the accidents. Traffic Engineer-Planner Will advised that this intersection has the highest rate of accidents in the downtown area. He said accidents are primarily broad-side (from running red lights) , and left turn movements. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Kirkpatrick, Mr. Will advised that the intersection modification at Court and Shasta resulted in a reduction of the accident rate from 1 .6 to .65/per million vehicles. Council Member Gard asked about a parking district in the downtown area. Mr. Arness advised that no further discussion have taken place regarding a parking district. Ms. Gard noted that one of the property owners ' letters pointed out that overflow parking from the Courthouse was a problem. She suggested that the Courthouse parking lots be posted to advise people that overflow parking is available at the Oregon and Tehama parking lot. She felt the general public is not aware that the lot is for Courthouse park- ing. Council Member Fulton expressed concern that the volume of traffic at that intersection is insufficient to warrant this magnitude of disruption. He felt the problem only exists at peak periods and suggested increased Police surveillance. Mr. Will explained that studies show that the accidents occur at random times. He said traffic studies taken across the country have shown that the proposed intersection modification will solve the accident problems at the intersection. Council Member Fulton pointed out that there have been many complaints from property owners about parking problems in the downtown area and this would just aggravate the problem. Public Works Director Arness emphasized that the minimum parking require- ments imposed by the City are usually the maximum provided by developers and this has contributed to the parking problem. At this time Mayor Kirkpatrick invited members of the audience to make comments. John Mathena, from Ticor Title Insurance, said he did not receive notice of the Traffic and Parking Commission meeting. He said his primary concern is that he will lose his front-door parking for quick and ready access to his building. He pointed out that when the building was constructed, they were required to give up some of their property to allow for a right turn lane 6/18/84 166 from Placer onto Court Street. Mr. Mathena also felt the street grade would not allow the proposed modifications. Jim Fisher, 1721 Court Street, said when he purchased this building, he was not aware of the proposed widening. He opposed the removal of the trees and pointed out that this is one of the last areas that still has the "old town" flavor and he would like to see it remain that way. Mr. Fisher felt there are other solutions to the problem. He also pointed out that under the proposed solution, pedestrians will be inches away from traffic. Mr. Fisher suggested a four-way signalized stop as a possible solution and asked that the matter be referred back to the Traffic and Parking Commis- sion. He felt a policy statement should be made about the entire Court Street area in an attempt to preserve the old flavor of Redding. Ron Mitchell , 4803 Saratoga Drive, owner of the building at 1626 Court which is occupied by Southern Pacific Land Company, emphasized that parking in this area is critical . He said he has the same problem as Ticor and to lose any further on-street parking would create a hardship. George Simmons , 1726 Court, said the limited parking on Court Street is a great inconvenience. He felt the accidents at this intersection involve speeding and some consideration should be given to slowing down the traf- fic. Barbara Fisher concurred with the other property owners and felt a stop sign on West and Placer should be considered. She felt other alternatives should be considered. A suggestion was made to limit the hours of parking. Mr. Will pointed out that accident records are random; however, the major- ity do occur in the afternoon and evening hours so that parking would have to be limited during peak hours. Council Member Pugh noted that limiting parking will not solve the problems at that intersection, as the only reason staff was proposing parking removal was due to this addition of the left turn lanes. If the turn lane was not installed, parking could remain. Council Member Demsher said it is obvious this problem is not going to be solved this evening. He suggested sending the matter back to staff and the Traffic and Parking Commission to survey some other alternatives. Mr. Demsher hoped that with a little more study, perhaps a less drastic solu- tion could be reached. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Gard that the intersection modification of Court and Placer be referred back to staff and the Traffic and Parking Commission to consider other alterna- tives. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Public Works Director Arness stated that staff recognizes the value of parking but accident reduction is primary. He said staff has studied several alternatives and the only possibility which has not be considered is prohibiting left turns at certain times of the day. He said staff will make its report dealing with that entire corridor of Court Street, and include projected effects along West Street, primarily West/Placer and West/Shasta. Discussion ensued about the effects of signalizing West and Placer Streets111 on the Court and Placer intersection. Mr. Demsher said we can expect more traffic in that area of a business nature until some other thoroughfare is constructed to divert the traffic. He felt this should be a primary consideration for this Council to address in the next year or so. 6/18/84 1.67 Council Member Pugh said he has watched the reduced impact which resulted after the signalization of revisions at Court and Shasta. He feels that similar modifications are viable ways of helping the Court/Placer inter- section. PUBLIC HEARING - re Water Rate Increases (W-030-400 and W-030-400-020) The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re water rate increases. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor. Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated June 11 , 1984, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that Council has conceptually approved a rate plan which will provide a uniform water rate for all users. He said the first increase went into effect October 1 , 1983, the second increase is proposed for July 1 , 1984; and a third is planned for July 1 , 1985 , which when adopted will provide a uniform rate structure. Mr. Arness advised that in July 1985 , when the third step increase in the tail end block rate is approved, as proposed, the City will have a uniform commodity charge for all water users. He said this will eliminate the current inequity between single family residential users on individual meters and multi-family residential and industrial users on large master meters. Mr. Arness stated that currently, private developments, commercial , and industrial users on large master meters purchase a large portion of their water at the lower tail end rate. It is the recommendation of staff that a resolution be adopted to implement the second phase of this rate plan. MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Demsher that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Pugh pointed out that these rate increases were pro- jected last year so that entities who would experience the increase would have time to program themselves for it, either by conservation measures or price adjustments. Resolution MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Demsher that Resolution No. 84-122 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding establishing water utility rates for service to customers within the corporate limits of the City of Redding and the Buckeye service area. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Fulton, Gard, Pugh, and Kirkpatrick, Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 84-122 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. 6/18/84 168 PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal by Diane Peterson of Use Permit UP-99-84, by Gene Lynn (L-010-030) The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re appeal of Use Permit UP-99-84. 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 The City Clerk advised that no protests have been received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that the applicant has withdrawn his Use Permit Application and therefore this appeal is null and void.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Amendment GPA-4-84, by Quartz Hill Land and Development Company (G-030-010) Council Member Pugh abstained from voting and discussion on this matter. The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-4-84, by Quartz Hill Land and Development Company. 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 June 14, 1984 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated June 14, 1984. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended reclassification of property located west of Benton Drive and north and east of Quartz Hill Road from "Public/- Institutional" to "Residential , 6.0 units per acre" and "Greenway." Maps of the area were shown on the Vu Graph and the draft negative declaration was submitted to Council . Mr. Perry advised that, as proposed by the applicant, his property would be developed with a skilled nursing facility, residential-care facility, and church, as well as senior citizen' s apartments. He said since the General Plan amendment was represented as being for specific uses, it is the recommendation of both the Commission and staff that Council reclassify the property "Residential , 6.0 units per acre" with the additional recommendation that an ordinance authorizing a change in zoning not be adopted until documentation has been submitted and approved by the City Attorney that verifies that the use of the applicant' s property is restricted to a church and senior-citizen' s facility. He noted that this restriction would not apply to the approximate 1 .5 acres in the amendment area not owned by the appli- cants, which area could be rezoned "R-2" Duplex District. It is recommended that the negative declaration be ratified and a resolution be adopted reclassifying the property to "Residential , 6.0 units per acre" and "Greenway" . 6/18/84 169 Jack Kenealy, 366 Elk Drive, said his house is on the corner of Elk and Quartz Hill Road. He has concerns about the volume of traffic in this area at certain times. He felt if anything other than single- family homes are allowed, the traffic will seriously affect those who live on the edge of Lake Redding Estates. Mr. Kenealy said he would like to see the zoning remain as it is. Dr. David Payne, a partner in Quartz Hill Land Co. , 280 Hemsted Drive, applicant, said he feels the Planning staff and Commission have given a fair and objective evaluation of this project. He said the project they have proposed is a modern concept of "step down" care for older citizens. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Council Member Pugh abstaining In response to an inquiry from Council Member Gard, City Attorney Hays advised that it is possible to enforce land restrictions with the General Plan.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Council Member Pugh abstaining Resolution MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Demsher that Resolution No. 84-123 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding amending the General Plan of the City of Redding by adopting General Plan Amendment GPA-4-84.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-3-84, by Al Naticchioni (L-010-230) The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-3-84, by Al Naticchioni . 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 June 14, 1984 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received. 6/18/84 170 Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated June 14, 1984. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended denial of the request to rezone property located at 2992 Quartz Hill Road. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and a petition and letter opposing the zone change was submitted to Council . Mr. Perry explained that the request is to rezone the property from III "R1-B20" Single-Family Residential District to "R-1 ." The application is associated with a tentative map proposing to create 14 lots on the property. Mr. Perry stated that subsequent to the Commission hearing, the applicant' s representative has submitted a letter proposing by deed restriction to establish the following standards for development of the property in order to offset some of the neighbor' s concerns: 1 . A minimum lot width of 80 feet 2. A minimum lot area of 11 ,000 square feet 3. An average lot area of 12,000 square feet The effect of this proposal is to reduce the potential number of lots to 12 , which is two less than the General Plan would allow, but four more than the existing zoning would allow. Mr. Perry advised that the compatibility of a subdivision within an area deals not only with lot area but with lot width. Unfortunately, the "Bl" or "B10" combining districts do not require a minimum parcel width greater than 70 feet. The staff felt that 70 foot-wide lots were inappropriate for the area, thus, the "R1-B15" District was recommended. Mr. Perry said, in this case, the applicant has sug- gested a trade-off of increased width for less area. Mr. Perry indicated that Council has the following options: III 1 . Deny the rezoning request 2. Approve the rezoning request 3. Approve a zoning previously considered by the Commission 4. Refer the new proposal to the Commission Mr. Diaz, the applicant' s attorney in this matter, 225 Locust, con- curred with the staff recommendation to refer the new proposal back to the Planning Commission, which would also give them a chance to meet with the neighbors. He noted that they would not have any lots fronting on Quartz Hill Road and the project could serve as a transi- tion zoning. Warren Lytle, 2944 Quartz Hill Road, felt this is not a legal question and didn't understand why an attorney was involved. He said the removal of the existing vegetation is one of the issues. Mr. Lytle explained that he and his neighbors are not anti-growth but they want a project which will harmonize with the existing area. He said the rural atmosphere is important to them and they would like to keep the density as it is. Mr. Lytle urged Council ' s support of the Planning Commission' s recommendation by denying the request. Mary Steinfeld, 2966 Quartz Hill Road, said when the General Plan was adopted, the area was already developed with 12 acre lots. She emphasized that the zoning is not in keeping with the way the area isIII developed and will set a precedent for other undeveloped property in the area. Ms. Steinfeld said the neighbors would like to retain the semi-rural atmosphere. 6/18/84 171 John Steinfeld, 2966 Quartz Hill Road, concurred with the previously stated concerns and added that when he purchased the property he felt fortunate to find a lot close to the City with a semi-rural atmo- sphere. He said he would not like to see the area over-developed. Keith Fontes, 3230 Quartz Hill Road, said the increased traffic is more than the people in the area can bear. He felt the speed limit should be decreased on Quartz Hill Road. He noted that there are no curbs and gutters in the area. Mr. Fontis pointed out that this rezoning would only lead to further development of the area and noted that the Buckeye School is already overcrowded. May Guthrie, 2922 Quartz Hill Road, was concerned about sewer service and noted that there has been no mention of putting in a pumping station for the project. She noted that at the Planning Commission hearing, the owner of a 20 acre parcel in back of the subject parcel , indicated that she is interested in developing her property with condominiums. Ms. Guthrie objected to the density of the proposed development. Pat Caswell , 3184 Quartz Hill Road, said he is against this subdivi- sion and would like to maintain the rural atmosphere. William Guthrie, 2922 Quartz Hill Road, said he concurs with the previous comments and would like to maintain the rural atmosphere. He said he also has concerns with the sewer system in the area and the increased traffic on Quartz Hill .

He stated that a goal of the City is to attract industries which will improve our economic base and provide employment opportunities for its citizens. He said the timing appears to be right to add to our industrial promotion effort by increasing the City' s capability to make direct contacts and to appropriately followup with the needed support and coordination. It is recommended that Council approve an agreement for industrial pro- motion between the City of Redding and Jack Schreder and Associates, for a twelve month period beginning June 4, 1984, in an amount not to exceed a monthly amount of $2,750, plus actual and necessary expenses. Council Member Gard pointed out that one point which is surfacing at the economic development meetings she has been attending, is that the search for clean industry is not working like it was expected. She asked if this contract will preclude the City from participating in other types of promotion activities. City Attorney Hays advised that there is a 30-day termination provision in the contract and noted that they are required to submit a monthly written report to the City Manager. Council Member Gard suggested the possibility of the City of Anderson and the County of Shasta being a part of the contract. City Manager Courtney advised that this proposed contract is part of a broad program involving other agencies in the area, and the County should be offered the opportunity to help fund the contract; however, he felt it is time for Council to move ahead at this time. Council Member Pugh noted that the City has control over the types of efforts it wants to become involved in. Council Member Gard emphasized that this should not be the City' s total commitment to promotion programs. 6/18/84 176 Council Member Demsher concurred and said the contract is very restrictive in terms of what kinds of things are being encouraged. He said the con- tract should be reviewed in 90 days to see what has been done and what is planned. MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council member Demsher approving an agreement between the City of Redding and Jack Schreder and Associates as hereinabove stated, and authorizing the Mayor to sign the agreement.
