The Vote : Unanimous Ayes Petition - Requesting "No Parking" on Redcliff Drive In a petition to Council dated February 1 , 1980 , persons I I-20 protested the recent passage of an ordinance prohibiting parking on Redcliff Drive. Said petition is on file in the office of the City Clerk. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo to Council dated February 15 , 1980 . He stated that said ordinance was the result of one of the conditions of approval of Redbanks Subdivision noting that when the subdivision was approved, the developer requested that the cul-de-sac streets in the subdivision be reduced in width and that on-street parking be prohibited. Redcliff Drive was one of the streets placed in this status. The street location was shown on the Vu Graph. 2/19/80 60 Mr. Perry advised that in exchange for the reduced street width, the subdivider was required to provide, for each 20 ft. of street frontage or portion thereof, one additional parking space on the adjoining parcel, in excess of the requirements of Section 30 . 17 . 1 of the Redding Municipal Code. As a result of this condition, there was no loss of on-street parking spaces. Mr. Perry discussed methods for alternative parking in the event Council Members felt this was necessary. Mr. Perry recommended that Council refer the petition to the Traffic and Parking Commission if further considera- tion is desired. Councilwoman Gard said that perhaps Council needs to take a look at minimum parking requirements again. Councilman Pugh noted that this developer complied with the minimum parking requirements plus additional off-street parking. He said that none of the persons who signed the petition are primary owners or lessees of the referenced Gandy-Scott building, but appear to be employees . Mr. Perry said he has gone by the Gandy-Scott building on two occasions and each time there were a couple of un- occupied parking spaces available. Council Members felt the issue needed further study. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard referring said petition to staff for further study and recommendation. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Petition - Railroad Crossings Petitions dated January 15 , 1980 , were received urging the City Council to correct unsafe conditions at railroad crossings in the City. Mayor Demsher stated he has met with this group and indicated to them that he would bring this issue to the attention of the Public Utilities Com- mission, who has jurisdiction over this matter, so that they could work with Mr. Arness, Redding Public Works Director, to try to resolve the problem. Councilman Fulton stated that a few years ago crossing arms were net yet in use and felt we are working towards better safety at railroad crossings .

ORDINANCE - Building Security At its meeting of February 4 , 1980 , City Council Members requested an approximate cost breakdown per single family dwelling for the security devices which would be required under this Ordinance . In ri his memo to Council, Building Official Ted Voges stated the approx- imate cost would be from $375 to $400 for each single family dwel- ling and from $250 to $300 for a multi family dwelling. Mayor Demsher stated that it seemed clear that builders and de- velopers felt this expense was not excessive and would be a good investment for homeowners and would provide good protection for them. 2/19/80 p I 62 Councilman Pugh discussed the problem of rising building costs. He felt, however , that if these precautions were not taken, the property owner would end up paying for them in other ways such as increased police services , etc . Councilwoman Gard felt the price would be worthwhile over the long run. Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that many builders are already doing this in homes they are constructing. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh , seconded by Councilman Kirk- patrick that full reading of Ordinance No. 1476 be waived , and that the City Attorney be instructed to scan same. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh , seconded by Councilman Kirk- patrick that Ordinance No. 1476 be adopted, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Title 16 of the Redding Municipal Code by adding thereto a new Chapter 16 . 09 , establishing minimum standards of construction for re- sistance to unlawful entry.

Council was provided a list of the conditions . The location of the subdivision was shown on the Vu Graph. ()� Discussion ensued regarding industrial and commercial uses in the City of Redding. Councilman Pugh was concerned about the lot size reduction in this development. Councilwoman Gard stated that the Planning Commission had a great deal of concern in this regard. Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that this area was not really well suited for large industrial development and the Commission felt this was an opportunity for a small industry to own property in an industrial park. Councilwoman Gard stated this was the same idea behind many Planned Developments. Mayor Demsher believes this is a good idea but would hope we don' t encroach too heavily on the industrial park concept. 2/19/80 65 Councilman Pugh asked what other undeveloped industrial areas remain. Mr. Perry listed the areas still left for industrial development as follows : In the vicinity of Strange Lumber, Moss Lumber , Redding Steel by Fire Hall No. 3 , Redding Municipal Airport, and Lake Boulevard near the Buckeye Dump. In response to an inquiry, Mr. Perry stated that there are three undeveloped parcels in the Industrial Park, but none are owned by the Economic Development Corporation. Councilwoman Gard stated there are very few large industrial areas left in the City. She noted that this division of land is encouraging commercial usage on industrial sites; however, with the Planned Development criteria, it will hold to the industrial uses quite adequately. LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LEAA) - Local Government Declaration to Participate with Region B Police Chief Whitmer reviewed his memo to Council dated Feb- ruary 14 , 1980 , which memo is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. He advised that during the last week in December, the President signed into law the Justice System Improvement Act of 1979 (S. 241) , which authorizes the Law En- forcement Assistance Program (LEAA) for an additional four years. This new law significantly changes the relationship (i)(,� between local, state, and federal government, and directly affects the City of Redding. Chief Whitmer advised that Region B , which includes Redding, will no longer be guaranteed a portion of federal crime control funds from LEAA unless the jurisdictions within the region declare their intent to par- ticipate in a combination entitlement jurisdiction. Region B, as it now exists or including other contiguous counties and cities therein which wish to participate, can qualify for this status if they combine to "plan, develop, or implement criminal justice programs" . Chief Whitmer reviewed the benefits and responsibilities as outlined in his report to Council , and noted that the City of Redding presently has two representatives on the Advisory Board, the City of Anderson, one representative , and the County, three. He stated that membership on the new Advisory Board will be determined by Mayors and Supervisor Board Chairmen of participating public agencies. Councilman Fulton, who is also a member , recommends that it appears beneficial to the units of local government in Region B to continue to work together under the new program. Council is requested to authorize the City Manager to execute the Declaration of Intent and subsequent program agreements on behalf of the City. Councilman Pugh questioned if the governing body of this entitle- ment is something that must yet be established. Chief Whitmer responded in the affirmative noting that once this is authorized by LEAA, the board will be defined which will give the mayor of each participating city and the chairman of each participating board of supervisors a more active roll . Mr. Pugh questioned if all cities and counties will be represented. Mr. Whitmer said this has not yet been defined . 2/19/80 66 Mayor Demsher said he had served on the governing body for awhile and could not find any problem with the method of apportionment. Chief Whitmer said his views differ in this regard. He added that the City of Redding has the option of attempting to qualify on an individual basis but it would be in competition with other cities and would receive no guaranteed allocation. Councilman Fulton said the new entitlement will give the City of Redding more voice in its decisions . Councilman Pugh noted that the City is obviously seeking funding and asked if there will be any outlay on its part. Chief Whitmer said that presently no outlay will be required; however, in 1980-81, there may be a 10% outlay or a cash match to be put up by the agency receiving the funds. Mr. Pugh said although he does not favor regional government as it removes the center of control too far from the voters , it appears that if the City is to obtain funding under the LEAA pro- gram Council must approve the aforestated request. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirk- patrick authorizing the City Manager to execute the Declaration of Intent and subsequent program agreements on behalf of the City of Redding . The Vote : Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - Rezoning Application RZ-11-79 by Rod Rodriquez Councilman Kirkpatrick abstained from discussion and voting on this item. The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived , Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-11-79 by Rod Rodriquez . I-11A The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk : Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated 2/14/80 The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests had been received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo to Council dated February 14 , 1980 . He stated that at its regular meeting of January 8 , 1980 , the Plan- ning Commission recommended rezoning of property located on the west side of Hemsted Drive , from "U" Unclassified District to "R4-25-B20-F" Multiple Family Residential District. He noted that the "F" site-plan-review require- ment reiterates some of the conditions attached to approval of the subdivision. The area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry continued that at a public hearing in December , the Commission directed the staff to assess the relevance of the rezoning to the impacts and mitigations identified 2/19/80 67 in the final environmental impact report for Redbanks Sub- division. After reviewing the analysis of the final EIR, the Commission concurred with the staff ' s conclusion that the rezoning will not create any substantial environmental impacts greater than those identified in the EIR. He stated, the subdivision was initially planned for a mix- ture of offices and multiple-family uses . It appears , however , that offices will predominate the development pattern. It is the recommendation of both the Commission and the staff that the subject property be rezoned "R4-25-B20-F" , subject to the six conditions contained in the staff memo. The "R-4" District, Mr. Perry stated, does permit a max- imum building height of 50 feet. In the site-plan-review criteria, a limitation of 40 feet has been suggested, which is the same as the existing "CO-BR" zoning to the north. If the Council concurs , it is recommended that the negative declaration be ratified and that the prepared ordinance be offered for first reading . Dr. Berge Berg , Berg Veterinary Clinic, 380 East Cypress , Redding , stated he was not opposed to the rezoning but wanted it on the record that he does have a veterinary clinic at 380 East Cypress and does have barking dogs from time to time which he cannot fully control. Mayor Demsher asked how far his clinic is from the property in question, and Mr. Perry stated it is about 600 feet. Mayor Demsher advised Dr. Berg that Council appreciates his bringing this matter to the attention of Council and that it will be made a part of the record. Traffic Engineer Woody Hamilton stated the neighbors should be made aware of Condition No. 4 of the site-plan-review which reads: "Lots fronting on Knollcrest Drive are to be provided with one additional parking space for each 20 feet of frontage or portion thereof in addition to Chapter 18 . 62 of the City Code . " Mr. Hamilton noted this is the same condition imposed on Redcliff Drive . Councilwoman Gard again stated that perhaps we need to look into the parking standards. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh , seconded by Councilwoman Gard to close the public hearing . The Vote : Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Kirkpatrick abstaining. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Council- woman Gard that Council makes the following findings regarding Rezoning Application RZ-11-79 , by Rod Rodriquez : 2/19/80 1 ' 68 1. Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan. 2 . Project will not significantly alter existing land form. 3 . Project is compatible with surrounding land use. 4 . Project is compatible with the Code of the City of Redding , California , and, ratifies the Negative Declaration approved by the Board of Administrative Review, November 20 , 1979 . The Vote : Unanimous Ayes , with Councilman Kirkpatrick abstaining . Councilman Pugh then stated that the record should be clear regarding the barking dogs , and Dr . Berg was asked if it was possible he might enlarge his business. Dr. Berg stated it is a possibility since he owns two of the adjacent parcels. Mr. Perry stated that Dr. Berg ' s property and the property in question here, are pretty well buffered by other surrounding development. Councilman Pugh offered Ordinance No. 1477 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-11-79) PUBLIC HEARING - Rezoning Application, PD-8-79 by Urban Environment, Inc. The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived , Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing re Rezoning Application PD-8-79 , by Urban Environment, Inc . The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk : Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing The City Clerk advised Council that one written protest had been received from Mr. & Mrs . Gary F. Smoot , 4322 Paulson Lane , Redding , California. Planning Director Perry reviewed his memo to Council dated February 14 , 1980, which memo is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. The area under consideration for rezoning is located generally east of Paulson Lane and north of Arizona Street and was shown on the Vu Graph. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the property be rezoned from "U" Unclassified District to "PD" Planned Development District, subject to 24 con- ditions. Council was provided a list of said conditions . Ben Harris, speaking on behalf of Urban Environment, Inc. , mentioned the concerns of the adjacent property owners , noting that modifications have been made; i.e . , the park has been moved to the south side of Arizona Street, and the access road into Paulson Lane has been changed to emergency use only. In his opinion, the modifications conform to the concerns raised by people in the neighborhood. In response to a communication received by Council from Mr. & Mrs . Smoot, Mr. Harris said they have no objection 2/19/80 69 to designing a crash barrier (emergency access) that would have the appearance of a normal fence along Paulson Lane . He added that perhaps the improvements required on Paulson should be dropped if there is to be no use of the street by property owners in the development. He stated that it is his understanding that the barrier would be in per- petuity. Mr. Harris added that he had spoken with one of the property owners on Arizona Street who expressed concern regarding traffic and speed of traffic on Arizona Street. He stated that they would be willing to work with the City on some sort of device (dips , bumps , etc. ) to reduce speed on said street. Planning Director Perry said he strongly urges that improve- ments--street, curb, gutter and drainage--be required on Paulson Lane. At that point, Mr. Harris asked that they be relieved from putting in sidewalks , noting that there would be no access to Paulson Lane from the development. Council discussed the pros and cons of requiring the developer to construct improvements in said lane when there is no benefit to the Planned Development. In response to a question as to what the future holds re- garding the extension of Paulson Lane , Mr. Perry said there have been no definite plans or requests for an extension. Councilwoman Gard noted that the ideal situation would be to form an assessment district for improvements on Paulson and Gordon Lanes . Mrs . Smoot, 4322 Paulson Lane , expressed concern that Gordon Lane would be utilized by school children as it is the most direct route to Churn Creek Road. It is her feeling that there should be no access to Gordon Lane as it would be dangerous for children to use this means to go to school. Her other concern was the use of private lanes by heavy construction equipment. Councilwoman Gard said she feels that timing for waiving sidewalk requirements is now, noting an assessment district can be formed later if sidewalks are desired. Mr. Perry reminded Council that it is now dealing with one property owner ; however, would have 72 property owners later. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Councilman Kirkpatrick asked if the area under discussion is one where children are bussed to school. He was advised that children walked to Lassen View, Enter- prise , Parsons and Rother. Mr. Kirkpatrick said he would like to see the barricade constructed in the form of fencing. Mr. Harris replied that this was what the developer was pro- posing . 2/19/80 70 It was brought out that the developer must dedicate 30 feet along Paulson Lane for street right of way and that the area 9 1/2 feet back from the curb must be landscaped and maintained by the Homeowners Association. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Council- man Pugh that Council makes the following findings re- garding Planned Development Application PD-8-79 , by Benjamin A. Harris : 1 . Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan; 2. Project will not significantly alter existing land form; 3 . Project is compatible with surrounding land use; 4 . Project is compatible with the Code of the City of Redding, California, and, ratifies the Negative Declaration approved by the Board of Administrative Review on November 28 , 1979 . The Vote : Unanimous Ayes A further discussion was held regarding access to Paulson Lane and Councilman Kirkpatrick stated he would not be willing to approve removal of the barrier when another street is developed. He wants the barrier to be permanent. MOTION : Made by Councilman Fulton that the sidewalk require- ment on Paulson Lane be deleted as a condition of the ordinance. The motion died for lack of a second. With respect to the motion made by Councilman Fulton, Mayor Demsher noted that Council has not waived sidewalk require- ments in the past and it is his feeling that the street will be extended and the sidewalk will be needed. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Council- man Kirkpatrick that the ordinance be amended by addition of the following condition: 25 . Emergency access only is to be provided to Paulson Lane and is to be provided as depicted on the site plan. An emergency access barrier is to be provided on a permanent basis , and designed to be compat- ible with and complimentary to the fencing on Paulson Lane. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Councilwoman Gard offered Ordinance No. 1478 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.

Maps depicting the location of the property were shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry continued that the rezoning initiation followed the Commissions approval of the tentative map of Rocky Point Estates Subdivision , submitted by Don Sherman, and the prior approval of Use Permit UP-158-79 for a 96 ,000 square-foot shopping-center-and-professional-office complex on the balance of the 12 . 4-acre parcel . The approved tentative map created seven parcels on a cul-de-sac at the north end of Sherman Way and one lot fronting on Panorama Drive . The subdivision was proposed by the pro- perty owner and co-applicant of the use permit as a means of buffering the existing subdivision from commercial activity. 2/19/80 72 This item, he said, was continued for two weeks at the regular Council meeting of February 4 , 1980 , at the re- quest of the property owner , Don Sherman. Mr . Sherman requested the two-week delay because a prospective pur- chaser of the property was considering amending the site plan for the approved use permit and possibly amending the approved tentative subdivision map. Since that time , Mr. Sherman has related to the staff that, at most, the prospective developer may seek permission to establish off-street parking for the commercial center on the parcel along Panorama Drive. Mr. Perry stated that since commercial parking may be developed in an "R-1" district subject to first obtaining a use permit, it is not felt the proposed rezoning would diminish Mr. Sherman' s options . If the approved map were recorded without enactment of the rezoning , however , the cul-de-sac lots could be developed with multiple family units. Therefore, it remains the recommendation of both the Commission and the staff that the Council rezone the property from "C-1-F" to "R-1" . If the Council concurs, it is recommended that the negative declara- tion be ratified and that the attached ordinance be offered for first reading.

PUBLIC HEARING - Abandonment Application A-7-79 , South Bonnyview Road between Reno Lane and East Bonnyview Road The hour of 7 : 30 P .M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the public hearing on the abandonment Application A-7-79 , South Bonnyview Road between Reno Lane and East Bonnyview Road. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Public Hearing Resolution No. 80-11 Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Resolution No. 80-11 2/19/80 75 Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Resolution No. 80-11 Planning Commission Recommendation dated 2/14/80 The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests have been received, and the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo to Council , dated February 14 , 1980 , stating that at its regular meeting of January 8 , 1980 , the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the abandon- ment of unneeded right of way on the north side of South Bonnyview Road, between Reno Lane and East Bonnyview Road. Maps depicting the location of the project and proposed abandonment were shown on the Vu Graph. The draft nega- tive declaration was also submitted. Mr. Perry stated in 1979 , the Council and the Commission considered the abandonment of excess right of way on the north side of South Bonnyview Road, between Reno Lane and East Bonnyview. At that time , only the right of way in front of the adjacent lot would have reverted to the original subdivider and not the current property owner. Since that time , the adjoining owner has obtained real interest in the property proposed to be abandoned, and the abandonment can now be reconsidered. The area in question, Mr. Perry explained, became unneeded right of way when South Bonnyview Drive was moved southward for the Sacramento River crossing. The area ranges in width from approximately 50 feet at the east end to 30 feet at the west end. South Bonnyview Road adjacent to the area would be 104 to 116 feet in width. He stated it is the opinion of both the Commission and the staff that the subject area is not needed for public street purposes. If abandoned, the right of way would revert to the adjoining two property owners. Mr. Perry stated that it is the recommendation of both the Commission and staff that the excess right of way in front of 2730 and 2774 South Bonnyview Road be abandoned subject to retention of easements for storm drainage and for utility purposes. If Council concurs , a resolution abandoning the right of way and ratifying the negative declaration has been prepared for Council consideration. Councilman Pugh. asked Mr. Perry if this abandonment would have any effect on the traffic flow onto Reno Lane. Mr. Perry referred the question to Traffic Engineer Ham- ilton. Mr. Hamilton responded that the area proposed for abandon- ment this evening does not appear to be needed; however, the 200 feet between this abandonment and Reno Lane could be used for a right-turn lane onto Reno Lane. Mr. Pugh suggested that possibly the matter should be continued for two weeks for further study. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that said public hearing be continued to 7 : 30 P . M. , March 3 , 1980.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes URGENCY ITEM - SURPLUS PROPERTY - St. Patricks Avenue Mayor Demsher dec Tared this an urgency item. Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memo to Council dated February 19 , 1980 . He stated that at its February 4 , 1980 meeting, Council declared a 2 , 250 square foot parcel on the north side of St. Patricks Avenue surplus and authorized an appraisal of same. Approval of the sale of this parcel of surplus property was withheld pending an investigation as to the possible abandon- ment of the alley which might make the property attractive to the property owner on the north side of the alley. DLA Mr. Arness reviewed the history of said parcel stating that in 1974 , St. Patricks Avenue was realigned and the property owner north of the alley requested that the alley be abandoned and that he be allowed to purchase this fragment. Upon checking with the property owners fronting on the alley, it was determined that at least two property owners were against the abandonment because they use the alley in some way. The owner north of the fragment then dropped his request. Mr. Arness said that subsequent thereto, the property owner to the east requested that he be allowed to purchase the fragment, and the matter was submitted to Council for approval at the February 4 , meeting. Bob Hastings of the Public Works Department was unaware of the fact that the Mayor had not been authorized to execute the deed, and said property owners were told to come to City Hall at 10 : 00 a.m. , Thursday, February 21, 1980 to complete this transaction for purchase of the parcel . Mr. Arness said that the property owners interested in purchasing the property are scheduled to be out of town for several months and, based 2/19/80 79 on staff ' s recommendation, Council is respectfully requested to authorize the Mayor to execute the necessary documents for disposal of this property. Council Members concurred that since the property owners do not desire to abandon the subject alley and because the fragment is not usable as a building site, it is in agreement with the staff recommendation. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the aforestated recommendation of the Public Works Director that the subject surplus fragment parcel on St. Patricks Avenue be disposed of and that the Mayor be authorized to execute the necessary documents for this transaction to the adjoining property owner. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR Bob Hetzel, owner, Country Club Mobilehome Park, 2810 Bechelli Lane, appeared before Council and stated that he had received a notice from the City of the new sewer rates which show an increase for his Mobilehome Park from $31 . 00 to $315 . 00 per month. He stated that he can only pass the additional charge on to his tenants but feels that the increase is exorbitant, approximately $5 . 00 per space, for retired persons living in small mobilehomes by themselves or with one other person. He questioned if there is any way the fees can be revised to a more equitable level so that he could absorb them himself . qv & City Manager Brickwood said that no final decision has been made on the subject rates. He noted that further study and considera- II tion will be given in situations such as this , where there are only one or two people in these mobilehomes within the Park as it is not the intention of the City to penalize them. Councilwoman Gard questioned if the notification Mr . Hetzel received was a notice only or a billing, and desired further explanation. Assistant City Manager Courtney presented historical background information on the City process in this regard since 1976 . He said that initially the entire City was scheduled to go on the household equivalent formula July 1, 1976 , but, for various reasons , the implementation of this formula has been delayed. He said that because the City is nearing completion of the sewer plant and because of the obligations the City has under Federal and State regulations governing the funds advanced to the City , Cou n,ci. l adopted an ordinance establishing these rates and the referenced notices went out as part of the plan that has been worked on for two years . He said that staff is very much aware of the inequities and the charges are presently under review. Mr. Courtney concluded that an amendment to said ordinance will be submitted to Council upon completion of the study of the fees and charges..
