The first two 1% increments have already been enacted and staff is now ready to implement the last 1% transfer of PERS costs from the employees to the City effective July 6 , 1980.

PROPERTY ACQUISITION - Court and Placer Streets Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memo to Council dated February 26, 1980 . He stated that it is essential that traffic signal conduits be replaced at Court and Placer Streets. Over �.� two years ago, a conduit failure necessitated "temporary" over- head wiring and another conduit is giving trouble. In designing for replacement conduit, he said, staff is proposing to enlarge the curb radii from the existing 10 feet to 40 feet. This will facil- itate truck turns , (a signal standard and the traffic controller have been hit) , and would permit future left turn lane installations. To properly locate the conduit and pull boxes to serve both present and future needs, it is necessary to acquire 30 foot property line corner roundings on both the southeast and southwest corners . The northeast corner rounding was accomplished when the Title Insurance and Trust Company building was constructed, and the northwest corner rounding is expected to be accomplished with construction associated with the jail. Mr. Arness stated it is the recommendation of the Public Works Department that Council authorize the acquisition of 3/3/80 87 the 30 foot corner roundings on the southeast and southwest corners which have been appraised at $2 , 125 each. Funds for these acquisitions are available in the budget. In response to an inquiry from Councilwoman Gard regarding the re- moval of trees to accomplish these corner roundings, Mr. Arness advised that Council will be kept informed in advance of any plans on this project.

On February 22 , Howard Whitver stated that they were unable to provide assistance in the funding of the monitoring program.

The estimated cost of performing this work is in the $50, 000 - $70, 000 range.

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo to Council dated March 3 , 1980 . He stated that at its regular meeting of January 8 , 1980, the Planning Commission approved two subdivisions located generally north of Rancho Road, west of Good- water Avenue and east of Alta Mesa Drive. Maps de- picting the location of the two subdivisions, and the approved tentative maps were shown on the Vu Graph. Subsequent to the Commission' s approval, Mr. Perry said, the Pacheco Union School District appealed the Commission' s decision. The reasons cited for the appeal are: (1) high student-to-classroom ratio and (2) need for additional classrooms to serve the expected students. 3/3/80 90 In its appeal, the School District has requested that a ten-acre school site be provided to serve the northern end of the School District and that development fees be collected for each lot toward the construction of a new school. The essence of the appeal is that there will be a sub- stantial, unmitigated environmental impact on the District. In order to mitigate the impacts of the two subdivisions upon the school, the subdividers and the School District have agreed upon the following three conditions to be added to the tentative maps : 1 . Prior to the recording of any lot on the east side of Shasta View Drive as depicted on the tentative map, the developers are to acquire and dedicate a ten-acre elementary-school site to the Pacheco Union School District in the vicinity of Shasta View Drive, pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivi- sion Map Act. The specific site location is to be approved by the City of Redding. The cost of the site to the District shall be for the value of the land only, not exceeding $8 , 000 per acre. 2 . The developers are to pay to the Pacheco Union School District a school-site-acquisition fee of $200 per lot at the time of the recording of a final map for any portions of the subdivisions. Said money and any interest thereon is to be held in trust by the school district solely for the purpose of acquiring a new elementary-school site in the vicinity of Shasta View Drive and Rancho Road. 3. In the event that a school-construction fee is es- tablished on a district-wide basis for the purpose of constructing a school facility in the District, the developers agree that all lots in the subdivisions would be subject to such school-construction fees. Mr. Perry stated that both the School District and the developer have also requested that the draft Enterprise Plan be amended to reflect a K - 6 school site in this area. Safe pedestrian access to the school shall be re- viewed when a precise location is determined. Based on the potential for development in the area, the lack of classroom space in the School District and the fact that the District will have a substantial portion of its development in the vicinity of Rancho Road, Mr. Perry states it is the recommendation of staff that the appeals be upheld and that Tentative Maps S-21-79 , Rancho Saratoga, and S-24-79 , Highland Oak Estates , be amended as outlined . above. Bernard G. Bryson, President, Pacheco Board of Trustees , spoke at this time and stated the District concurs with the staff and commended the developers and the City Planning staff in formulating this recommendation. He stated that the district will be approaching Council in the future with respect to overcrowding of schools , noting that pri- mary development at this time lies within the City, although only a small portion of the total District is within the City. 3/3/80 91 MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Pugh that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes In response to an inquiry from Mayor Demsher, Mr. Tony Ochinero of Rancho Saratoga stated they were also in concurrence with this recommendation.

The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated 2/26/80 Public Works Department Recommendation dated 2/28/80 The City Clerk advised Council that there were no written , protests 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 26 , 1980 . He stated that the proposed abandonment was continued from the Council meeting of February 19, 1980 , when the Traffic Engineer was asked to assess whether the abandonment would hinder the development of a right-turn lane onto Reno Lane. In his memorandum to the Council , the Traffic Engineer states that the 200 feet remaining between the proposed abandonment and Reno Lane is sufficient for a turn lane. Mr. Perry stated it remains 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. Commission and staff recommends that the excess right of way in front of 2730 and 2774 South Bonny- view Road be abandoned subject to retention of easements for storm drainage and for utility purposes , and that the Resolution abandoning said right of way and ratifying the negative declaration be adopted. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Pugh that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Note-Prior to adjournment of this Council meeting, Traffic Engineer Hamilton made the following comments pertaining to this public hearing: 3/3/80 92 • He noted that Mr. Emory', who is an interested property owner, was unable to remain for discussion on the above-mentioned public hearing. Mr. Hamilton stated that Mr. Emery did seem satisfied with the explanation that was given regarding the cost/benefit to install a left turn lane to Reno Drive . He stated he felt the City could do this for $12 , 000 , al- though it would have fairly low priority in the budget , based on the fact that no accidents had been reported at the intersection this year and because of the low traffic ratio. Councilman Pugh stated it should be included in the budget package to be reviewed with other public works projects . Resolution MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Council- man Kirkpatrick that Resolution No. 80-38 be adopted, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding ordering the vacation and abandonment of a portion of South Bonnyview Road between East Bonnyview Road and Reno Lane.

The con- ditions in question require dedication of right of way for Victor Avenue within the subdivision, improvement of Victor Avenue with two driving lanes within the subdivi- sion and between Churn Creek Road and the subdivision, with the developer to be responsible for the engineering of the street. Construction of a bike lane, construction of a fence, and waiver of access from adjoining lots are also required along Victor within the subdivision . Mr. Perry continued that in his appeal , the developer has requested that he be responsible only for the portion of Victor between Churn Creek Road and its intersection with El Verano Street and that the City be responsible for the remaining 1400 feet north of El Verano. The developer also asked that he not be required to do any off-site fencing or tree planting and that the City pro- vide the necessary engineering for the intersection of Victor Avenue with Churn Creek Road. The dedication and improvements required for Victor Avenue are the same as those required for subdivisions along Shasta View Drive, further to the east. Mr. Perry stated that initially, the first unit of the subdivision will use Huntington Drive for access; however, when Unit 2 is recorded, the temporary road will be re- moved and all access for the development will be from Victor. Fencing and waiver of direct access from adjoining lots are standard conditions of other subdivisions along major thoroughfares. In the past, the general policy of the City has been to require developers to provide two driving lanes through their subdivisions and to require that streets and utilities be extended to the outer property lines of the subdivision. In addition, since Huntington Drive is a sub-standard street by City standards and Alta Mesa is the only other point of access, it is the opinion of staff that the developer is responsible for providing a primary access point to his development. Off-site tree planting and fencing were not required by the Commission as a condition of the subdivision, thus staff feels that is a nonissue. With respect to the request for the engineering design data for the inter- section of Victor and Churn Creek Road, it is the opinion of the staff that that would be the responsibility of • the developer. The staff fully recognizes it will have to assist in the design and the coordination with the County of Shasta. However, it is the feeling of staff that the developer can better coordinate the work with his sub- division. As part of the improvement of Victor, the Commission has recommended, subject to the concurrence of the City Council, that the City be responsible for the acquisition of the intervening property between Churn Creek Road and the subdivision proper. It is the recommendation of staff that the Council deny the above-described appeal and uphold the subdivision as approved by the Planning Commission. 3/3/80 94 Bob Hobbs , engineer for the developer, stated they do not have a great deal to add to the requests stated in their letter of appeal. He stated they recognize they are going to have to take on more responsibility than was originally planned; however, it is felt the engineering of the intersection of Victor Avenue and Churn Creek Road is beyond the scope of what they would normally be asked to do. In his opinion, the configuration of the intersection, is going to involve long-range plans only the City can provide. He stated they are agreeable to doing the mechanics of the plans., provided they are given the information. Mr. Hobbs stated the City has agreed to assist in the design of the intersection but he is not sure specifically what they will do. Mayor Demsher questioned staff as to their impressions of what is. to be done by both parties . After considerable discussion, Planning and Community Devel- ' opment Director Perry summarized the areas of responsibility as follows : 1. The developer provides field data, 2 . The City gives design parameters , 3 . The developer provides final design. Jerry Nash, developer of the land, spoke at this time. He questioned who would benefit from the extension of Victor Avenue north of El Verano Street. He said the major portion of the traffic is through traffic and would not be a direct benefit to the subdivision. He suggested the possibility of forming an assessment district to finance Victor Avenue from Churn Creek Road to Hartnell Avenue. Mr. Nash asked Council about the possibility of approval of S-13-78 , subject to further study on Victor Avenue so that improvement plans for the first unit can get underway, noting Victor Avenue is not involved in this portion of the develop- ment. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote : Unan- imous Ayes In response to an inquiry from Mrs . Gard, Mr. Arness addressed the issue of forming an assessment district. Mr. Arness stated there would be the problem of the defining of district boundaries. Mrs . Gard stated that one of the most important points about the conditions imposed is that they are consistent. The re- quirements for thissubdivision are what we have always re- quired. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Pugh that Condition #19 of the Conditions for Approval for Tentative Subdivision Map S-13-78 , be amended to include the following: For the intersection of Churn Creek Road and Victor Avenue, the developer shall provide the field data and prepare the final design plans . The City shall set the design parameters for the intersection upon receipt of the field data. 3/3/80 95 The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Council- man Pugh, that the appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-13-78, appealing conditions 18 , 19 and 21 of the Con- ditions for Approval, be denied, and the conditions be upheld as amended.

The General Plan classification is "Medium Density Residential, " 3 . 5 dwelling units per gross acre, and the existing density in the area is 3. 38 dwelling units per acre. Of the 45 structures in the area, 43 are single-family residences and two are duplexes . There are six vacant parcels in the area, three of which are already restricted to single-family use. Mr. Perry stated it is the recommendation of both the Commission and the staff that the subject area be rezoned from "R-2" to "R-1" .
