WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Redding Regional Sewer District - Request for Inclusion
A petition was received from Tony LaBella and four
other persons owning property which lies partially in
7/21/80
259
and adjacent to the boundary line of the Regional
Wastewater Sewage Treatment District. These petitioners
request that their properties be serviced by the Re-
gional District, since septic tanks are not permitted
due to the proximity to Keswick Lake and County re-
strictions on soil depth.
Councilman Kirkpatrick noted that the City has been
clear in its intentions regarding the Regional Sewer
District, but felt the matter should be considered by
the Growth Committee.
Mayor Pugh added that more requests of this nature would
probably be received and the public should be aware that
the design of the present plant is not adequate to
accommodate any further properties without expansion of
the facilities.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Demsher referring the hereinabove stated
petition to the Growth Committee for consideration.

ANIMAL PERMIT AP-2-80 - by Chuck Adams
Councilwoman Gard stated that because she has had an animal
permit in effect for the past twelve years , she feels she has
a moral conflict and wishes to abstain from discussion and
i9 voting on this issue.
I

Mayor Pugh also abstained from voting on discussion and voting
on this issue as Mr. Adams is a client.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry outlined
Mr. Adams ' request to graze two steers on property located
7/21/80
265
,
at 1612 Ridge Drive and the area was shown on the Vu Graph.
In response to an inquiry from Mr. Kirkpatrick, Mr. Perry ad-
vised that the property to the rear (west) of the subject
property is an estate owned by the Catholic .Church. He noted
there has been some discussion about subdividing the land and
building single family homes. He also noted that the County
line at its closest point, is approximately 350 feet from the
subject property.
Council discussed the history of this request. Mr. Perry advised
that Mr. Adams has requested an animal permit several times ; once
it was withdrawn by the applicant, and another time he proposed
to allow the animals to graze on the entire property.
Councilman Kirkpatrick noted that the subject request has a
history of being opposed by the neighbors and felt that if the
permit is approved for 90 days as proposed, and later denied
if the situation proves to be unsatisfactory, the owner would
have gone to a lot of unnecessary expense in fencing the property,
etc.
Councilman Demsher stated he was in agreement with the surround-
ing neighbors that this use would not be proper in an R-1 zone.
He stated the purpose of zoning is to protect neighbors against
problems and hazards, and felt there would be problems with flies
and odors, as well as possible health hazards .
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman
Demsher denying the request for an Animal Permit by Chuck Adams,
AP-2-80, on property located at 1612 Ridge Drive.

Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Improvement
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Improvement
The City Clerk advised that one written protest had been
received from Thomas E. Brower, Project Manager of Sharrah-
Nolte and Associates. The protest was made on behalf of
Mt. Lassen Development Company and opposed the amount of
the assessment on Parcel No. 107-32-03, at the intersection
if of Mistletoe Lane and Little Churn Creek, inasmuch as
3. 2 acres of the 13 acres has to be dedicated to the City
for road dedication for the extension of Churn Creek Road
and Little Churn Creek channelization.
Associate Civil Engineer Hastings advised he has discussed
this matter with Special Bond Counsel Brunsell and it was
the consensus that the assessment should stand and, at the
7(21/80
266
time the property is taken, the City would pay fair market
value. He noted that official plan lines for Churn Creek
Road have not been formally established. He also noted that

PUBLIC HEARING - re Adult Entertainment Ordinance
The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the
Public Hearing re the proposed Adult Entertainment Ordinance.
The following documents are on file in the office of the
City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication- Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission Recommendation dated July 17 , 1980
Council was apprised re letters of protests received and
copies of subject letters are on file in the office of the
City Clerk. Planning and Community Development Director
Perry advised that the Board of Administrative Review and
Planning Commission have also received numerous letters
of protest which are on file in the office of the Planning
Department.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated July 17, 1980 . He stated
at its regular meeting of June 10, 1980 , the Planning
Commission unanimously recommended that Council adopt a
new Chapter in the City Code to regulate adult-entertain-
ment businesses . A copy of the draft ordinance approved
by the Planning Commission was submitted to Council and a
map depicting potential adult use areas was shown on the
Vu Graph.
Mr. Perry noted that the proposed ordinance is modeled on
the Detroit, Michigan, ordinance, which has been litigated.
The draft restricts such uses to "C-3" Districts and areas
that are a minimum of 600 feet from hospitals , schools ,
churches, and parks and 300 feet from residences and
7/21/80
268
residential districts . It also establishes a 1, 000-foot-
minimum separation between adult-entertainment businesses
and requires that a use permit be obtained in each case.
Any such use-permit application would be subject to
separate environmental consideration.
He noted that both the Commission and staff felt that
adult uses should not be allowed in residential districts
nor in "CO, " "C-1, " "C-2, " or "C-4" Commercial districts .
The"M-2" and "P-I" industrial districts were also felt to
be inappropriate since the bulk of that zoning is in the
Mountain Lakes Industrial Park.
Mr. Perry stated the intent of the ordinance is not to say
whether or not such uses should be allowed, which is a
constitutional issue, but rather to treat them as a land-
use activity, one that is potentially blighting, and to
set standards for their establishment and day-to-day oper-
ation. In approach, the ordinance attempts to disburse
the defined uses rather than allowing them to concentrate
and to keep them away from more sensitive uses , such as
schools, churches, residences, etc.
He said it is not the intention of this ordinance to
suggest that the areas listed are desirable locations for
adult-entertainment businesses . Rather, the proposed
ordinance is aimed at giving the public the opportunity
to comment on such uses prior to their establishment, to
develop minimum locational criteria, and to say where
they definitely cannot be located. At present such uses
are not regulated within the City. For example, an adult
bookstore can now be located in any retail commercial
district without a permit.
Mr. Perry discussed alternatives to the ordinance such as
creation of an overlay zoning district. He noted several
disadvantages to this procedure. Another alternative men-
tioned was to increase the minimum distance separation
from a residential district or occupied residential struc-
tures from 300 to 400 feet. The Commission felt that zon-
ing some of the eligible "C-3" areas to "C-2" or "C-1"
would be a more appropriate solution.
Mr. Perry listed the seven areas that meet the proposed
locational criteria, under the draft ordinance:
1. Shasta/California Streets, adjacent to the Police
Department, from Thrifty Dry Cleaners to the Cascade
Hotel and Sportsman' s Club
2. South/Gold/California Streets , vacant lot south of
Gerlinger' s and north of the former Valley Feed building
3. East Street, south of Locust Street
4. Athens Avenue/Locust Street, a portion of McMahan 's
parking lot, a real-estate office and Taco Bell
5. Enterprise Industrial Park, south of Mistletoe Ln. ,
west of Churn Creek, north of Commerce St. , and east
of Hilltop Drive
6. South Market Street, along the east side of South Market
from south of Grange Street to south of Wyndham Ln.
7. Twin View Boulevard, between Highway 273, Interstate 5,
and Cherokee Street
Ir
7/21/80
269
Mr. Perry advised that there are also twelve other poten-
tial areas in which, if zoned "C-3, " adult entertainment
uses could be located, as depicted on the map. At present,
all of these areas are zoned "U" Unclassified District and
would not be eligible unless zoned "C-3 . " He noted that
the proposed ordinance treats adult uses as a land-use
problem and, therefore, susceptible to control via zoning
methods .
What appears to have sustained the Detroit ordinance, Mr.
Perry stated, is the appearance of valid land-use and
zoning concerns, and not a pretext for suppression. A
zoning ordinance must demonstrate that the particular
restrictions adopted must be rationally related to the
intent of the ordinance and to the effects of the use
regulated. He noted that lack of a rational relationship
was found in the provision of the Detroit ordinance which
prohibited establishment of an adult use within 500 feet
of a dwelling. The Federal District Court found that
the provision had no compelling government interest. Detroit
later amended the provision to within 500 feet of a resi-
dential district.
It is the recommendation of staff that, after the close
of the public hearing, Council ratify the negative
declaration and offer the ordinance for first reading.
City Attorney Hays responded to an inquiry from Councilman
Kirkpatrick regarding the possibility of a public vote as
mentioned in one of the letters received.
Mr. Hays advised he did not believe a public vote of the
community would be legally upheld, as what constitutes a
"community" cannot be specifically defined, and the courts
have upheld that a public vote does not necessarily represent
a cross-section of the community. He also noted that many
people utilize the City facilities who are from surrounding
areas other than the City of Redding.
Councilman Demsher questioned the City Attorney about the
validity of offering two different ordinances , which Council
felt were acceptable, for a public vote in November. He
suggested that the people could then choose one of the two
ordinances.
Mr. Hays felt the outcome would be the same--that such a
vote would not represent a cross section of the community.
Mrs. Gard noted that movies being shown at drive-in
theaters are visible to non-patrons and questioned whether
the ordinance could be amended to cope with this problem.
City Attorney Hays stated that short of having a police
officer on duty to preview each film, there is virtually
no way to monitor such theaters. He added that the word
"enclosed" does not necessarily mean four walls and a roof.
Discussion ensued regarding the definition of "obscene"
versus "adult" material , and City Attorney Hays advised
that obscenity is prohibited by State Law at this time.
The difficulty, he stated, is in proving the difference
in a court of law.

In response to an inquiry from Mrs . Gard, Mr. Hays advised
that he does not feel the definitions as drafted in the
ordinance would hamper enforcement and sees no need for
them to be more specific as suggested by the Committee on
Moral Concerns .
Mr. Hays responded to an inquiry from Mrs . Gard regarding
the enforcement of the sign criteria. Mr. Hays felt it
would be enforceable, noting that all such signs would
have to be approved by the Planning Department.
At this point Mayor Pugh invited comments from the public
requesting that redundancy be avoided.
Mr. David R. McCoy, 4095 Remington Drive, spoke in opposi-
tion to the ordinance. He felt it was not right to compare
Redding with other cities and was in favor of putting the
issue on a ballot for a vote of the people.
Mayor Pugh explained that there is no way under the United
States Constitution that the City can ban pornography. He
stated the Supreme Court has denied every attempt to do so.
He explained that at present anyone can come into the City
of Redding and open an adult bookstore, theater, etc . in
retail commercial zones with only a business license. He
emphasized that the proposed ordinance is intended to regu-
late this by requiring each request to be analyzed on an
individual basis .
Mr. Dick Mosley, P . 0. Box 3530, Chico, spoke as a represen-
tative of United Artists. He requested that the matter be
held over in order for the U.A. legal staff to prepare a
statement, noting that they had received inadequate notice
of the public hearing.
Council and staff discussed the many Planning Commission
and Board of Administrative Review meetings at which this
matter has been discussed as well as the legal publications
and news stories in the Record Searchlight.
Mr. Iver Thon, 4695 Harrison, objected to South Market Street
being listed as an area for adult entertainment businesses
and asked how far the area would extend on Market. He objected
because of the many children present in this area.
Mr. Perry advised that the ordinance provides that adult-
uses would not be allowed where minors regularly congregate
or travel.
Ms . Jenkins, 2652 Sharon Street, urged Council to take •
action on the ordinance. She feels the City is moving
in the right direction. She stated she is formerly from
a suburb of Detroit and saw whole neighborhoods blighted
before such an ordinance was enacted. Mrs . Jenkins feels
the City should move forward and at least get a zoning
ordinance in effect and take further steps as necessary.
Jo Keeley, P. 0. Box 1842, represented the Committee
on Moral Concerns. She noted that she has seen publicity
regarding the City of Redding 's adult entertainment
ordinance in the Sacramento Bee as well as the Record
7/21/80
271
Searchlight and felt Mr. Mosley ' s request to continue
the hearing should be denied on that basis . Mrs. Keeley
stated she would be in favor of banning pornography en-
tirely but realizes this is not possible. She was in
favor of the majority of the ordinance but made suggestions
regarding the definitions section and felt they should be
more specific. She said she did not feel a variance pro-
vision should be allowed.
Mr. John Strange, 4559 Harrison, objected to the location
specified in the ordinance on Eastside Road and noted
that children congregate in this area.
Linda Sharrett, 2823 Regal Avenue, questioned the provision
for protecting children and felt adults are entitled to the
same protection from this type of influence.
City Attorney Hays advised Ms. Sharrett that the courts have
been much more protective of juveniles on this issue.
Orbie Robertson, 8012 Sans Souci Drive, representing the
Californians for Biblical Morality, advised Council that
his organization was against pornography in any area and
would support the City in any efforts to prosecute
offenders .
Douglas Denton, 1600 Orange Avenue, stated he would like
to see pornography banned in the City. However, he would
like to see some action taken now to at least limit its
use. He favored the idea of getting some feedback from
the public.
Council discussed an inquiry by Mr. Dentonregarding the
criteria which would be used to deny use permits for
adult businesses. - It was determined that if findings are
made which cannot be mitigated, such as children congregating,
traffic, parking etc. , the Planning Commission has the
right to deny the request. However, they noted that
disagreement from people who live in the area would not
be a valid reason for denial. The public is invited to
give in-put at the public hearing, but the total facts
must be considered.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Kirkpatrick,
City Attorney Hays advised that the existing adult book-
store would also be regulated by this ordinance but would
have a three-year amortization period.
Mr. Denton complimented Council on their action thus far
and urged them to take action now.
Mr. George Archibeque, Central Valley, asked about the
enforcement of juveniles patronizing the current adult
bookstore. He stated he works around 13, 14 , and 15 year-
-olds, and noted that these children are obtaining materials
from the bookstore. He also noted that these youngsters
are passing the materials along to the elementary school
children and felt stronger enforcement measures should be
taken.
Mr. Luke Mutchie, 4371 Clay, stated the City Council has
the power to regulate taxi cabs , buses , etc. and asked
why it cannot refuse to allow adult entertainment businesses .
City Attorney Hays advised that obscenity is not protected
by the First Amendment, and there have been numerous attempts
7/21/80
-
272
to define "adult" versus "obscene" ; however, at this point
adult-oriented business are protected by the First Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States.
Jorge Boston, 2948 Cove Point Court, questioned Council as
to what uses were allowed in C-2 and C-3 zones, and objected
to the South Market Street location because of school
children congregating in the area of Camps Surplus Store.
Mr. Phillip Ensley, 3418 Willow Lane, Anderson, stated
although he lives in Anderson, he works and spends con-
siderable time in Redding. He stated he would be proud
to be part of a community who fought the establishment
of adult businesses, and felt they are damaging to our
community, our State, and our Nation.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council-
woman Gard that the public hearing be closed. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
Mayor Pugh thanked the audience for being cooperative and
keeping their messages brief.
Councilwoman Gard also commented that the public has been
very conscientious in its efforts and thanked the audience
for its constructive suggestions.
Council discussed amending the draft ordinance before
adoption. They were advised by the City Attorney that
depending on the amendment, it is possible to do so
prior to adoption.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Kirkpatrick,
Mr. Hays advised that Council could amend the ordinance
to increase the distance from residential dwellings from
300 feet to 400 feet, inasmuch as the Planning Commission
had already considered this possibility.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council-
woman Gard that Council makes the following findings re
a City Code Amendment concerning the adoption of Chapter
18. 53. 030, pertaining to Adult Entertainment:
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 July 1.6 , 1980 . The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Demsher amending the draft ordinance, Section
18. 53. 030,A, 1 to read: "No adult entertainment business
shall be located closer than 400 feet to any residential
district or occupied residential structure nor closer than
600 feet to any hospital, school, church, park or playground,
or in other areas where large numbers of minors regularly
travel or congregate. "
7/21/80
273
Councilman Kirkpatrick offered Ordinance No. 1502 for
first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the
City of Redding amending Title 18 of the Redding Municipal
Code by adding thereto Chapter 18. 53, pertaining to adult
entertainment.
Councilman Fulton stated that there has been a lot of
ambivalence toward parts of thisordinance, but feels
it is a start. He stated he would like to know more
about the feelings of the people but, in the interest
of time, he feels this cannot be done. He feels the
concensus would be that people are against this type of
business .
Council concluded their discussion by indicating they would
like to see continued public input on this issue and
encouraged citizens to write their State and U.S. Represen-
tatives to express their concerns and to seek a more
definitive answer as to what constitutes "obscenity. "
PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-2-80, by Mt. Lassen
Machinery Company
The hour of 7: 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened
the Public Hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-2-80 , by Mt.
Lassen Machinery Company.
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 July 16 , 1980
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 memorandum to Council dated July 16, 1980 . He stated
that at its regular meeting of April 22 , 1980 , the Planning
Commission unanimously recommended rezoning 235 acres
located north of Caterpillar Road, east of Old Beltline
Road, and south of Oasis Road, from "U" Unclassified
District to PI-BIA-F" Planned Industrial District, "CO-BR-
B20-F" Office District, and "U-F" Unclassified District.
Maps depicting the location of the property, the existing
and proposed zoning, and the general plan for the area were
shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry advised that the final
Environmental Impact Report for the project was previously
distributed to Council.
Mr. Perry advised that the property is being developed as
the third unit of Mountain Lakes Industrial Park. Property
to the south and west of the project is also part of the
Mountain Lakes Industrial Park and zoned "M-2-F" or "U"
Unclassified. Development in this area is further con-
trolled by covenants and restrictions . Property to the
southeast is also zoned "M-2-F" and has been approved
for an industrial subdivision. To the north and north-
east, land is under County jurisdiction and zoned "Rural
Residential" and developed with scattered residential uses .
7/21/80
27.4
The County zoning permits trailers and has a minimum
parcel size of 10, 000 square feet.
Site-plan-review and parcel-size criteria have been recom-
mended to treat the industrial portion of the property
as an industrial park. Mr. Perry noted that the Commis-
sion' s recommendation was revised to require a one-acre-
' minimum parcel size rather than 40 , 000 square feet to
reflect the one-acre minimum building site area which was
recently added to the Redding Municipal Code and which
coincides with the tract restrictions of the park.
Mr. Perry concluded that it is the recommendation of both
the Commission and staff that the subject area be rezoned
as outlined. If Council concurs , it is recommended that
Council find that changes or alterations are incorporated
into the project which mitigate or avoid any significant
environmental effects identified in the Environmental
Impact Report and that the attached ordinance be offered
for first reading.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council-
man Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Demsher that, pursuant to Section 150088 of the California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Council finds that
changes or alterations are incorporated into the Rezoning
Application RZ-2-80 by Mt. Lassen Machinery Company, that
mitigate or avoid any significant environmental effects
identified in the Environmental Impact Report. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
Councilwoman Gard offered Ordinance No. 1503 for first
reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of
Redding amending Section 18. 06. 020 of the Redding Muni-
cipal Code relating to the rezoning of certain real
property in the City of Redding (RZ-2-80) .
PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Lot Split LS-94-78 , by Russell Weide
The hour of 7: 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the
Public Hearing re appeal of Lot Split LS-94-78 , by Russel
Weide.
ib
�," PC
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 no written protests have
been received other than the appeal itself.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated July 15 , 1980 , which memo-
randum is made a part of these minutes by reference. He
stated that the applicant has appealed the conditions of
approval which grant him permission to create four lots on
property located at 2400 North Drive, in a "U" Unclassifed Dis-
trict. Maps depicting the location of the property and the
approved tentative map were shown on the Vu Graph.
The Board of Administrative Review, at its meeting of April 9 ,
1980, approved the application subject to the list of 30
7/21/80
275
conditions as submitted to Council. At its regular meeting of
May 27, 1980, the Planning Commission upheld the Board' s
decision in denying the applicant' s appeal of two of the con-
ditions . The applicant has subsequently appealed this de-
cision to the City Council.
Mr. Perry explained that the appeal focuses on Conditions
Number 6 and 22, which require the construction of a dike
along Olney Creek from Highway 273 south to Star Drive
prior to recording a parcel map. Olney Creek runs through
the north portion of the property. The application, which
was originally filed in 1978, had been held up for the Olney
Creek hydrological study and general-plan amendment along
the Creek. The study established the Creek ' s 100-year flood
elevations at 466 and 464 feet, respectively, at the west
and east property lines . Most of the property lies below
464 feet and is, therefore, subject to flooding. The
applicant proposes to develop building sites on an engin-
eered fill rather than to install flood-channel improve-
ments . The staff recommended against this solution for
several reasons: By filling a portion of the flood plain,
flood waters are merely displaced to other property; under
the proposal, the street in frontof the property would
continue to flood; the flood plain portion should be
developed as a total solution between Highway 273 and
Sacramento Drive, or there is no protection; and to allow
some of the flood-prone property along Olney Creek to be
split off would create a greater financial hardship on
remaining properties to provide a comprehensive flood-
control solution.
The applicant suggested a modified plan that would create
lots along thesouthern property line by raising that
portion of the property. In reviewing this alternative, it
was the opinion of staff that, while it is technically
feasible, it still leaves the concerns previously dis-
cussed without solution.
Mr. Perry advised that the proposed dike and channel improve-
ments are consistent with the recommendations of the
hydrological study and with conditions imposed on sub-
dividers south of Sacramento Drive. It should be noted
that the general plan adopted for the area was based on
flood-control improvements being installed and not the
actual area that floods.
It is the recommendation of staff that the Commission' s
decision be upheld and that the appeal of LS-94-78 be
denied.
Mayor Pugh invited comments from the floor at this time.
Mr. Jim Westlake, Westlake Realty, spoke on behalf of
Russell Weide and noted that his client has agreed- to 28
of the 30 conditions imposed, but is asking for relief
from the condition requiring bank improvements of Olney
Creek between Highway 273 and Star Drive, to prevent
flooding of adjoining properties. He noted that even
with bank improvements, the existing bridges would act
as a dam and back up the water. He further stated that
the conditions imposed upon his client are more stringent
than those imposed upon other developers in the area.
7/21/80
276
Mr. Westlake said that the present proposal is to develop
the parcel into four large single home sites and it is not
felt that the four sites would cause any problems as they
would be developed utilizing high ground. He added that
Mr. Weide is willing to join in an assessment district if
one is formed. He mentioned that at one point, he thought
there was talk of the City participating in improvements
along Olney Creek.
The Mayor ascertained that there were no further comments
from the floor.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council-
woman Gard that the public hearing be closed. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
In response to an inquiry from Councilwoman Gard, City
Attorney Hays advised the City ' s liability would be great
if it allowed land-owners to build in a known flood plain.
He noted that he could foresee the City being named in a
law suit if it knowingly allowed someone to build in a
flood plain. He further noted that insurance would be a
big problem.
Mayor Pugh questioned the City Attorney regarding the City 's
liability if it allowed Mr. Weide to dike only his property,
and Mr. Hays advised it would be great, as it would affect
downstream property.
Public Works Director Arness advised Council that the forma-
tion of an assessment district would be very difficult.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council-
woman Gard that the Planning Commission' s decision to
deny the appeal of Lot Split LS-94-78 , by Russell Weide,
be upheld. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-5-80 by the City
of Redding
The hour of 7: 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened
the public hearing re rezoning application RZ-5-80 by
the City of Redding.
The following documents are on file in the office of the
City Clerk:

Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission Recommendation dated July 15 , 1980
The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests
had been received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated July 15, 1980 . He stated
that at its regular meeting of June 10, 1980, the Planning
Commission unanimously recommended rezoning of property
located at 5622 to 5734 Mountain View Drive from "R3-40-F"
Multiple Family Residential District to "R-1" Single
7/21/80
277
Family Residential District. Maps depicting land use,
the existing and proposed zoning, and the general plan for
the area, were shown on the Vu Graph. The draft negative
declaration was submitted to Council.
Mr. Perry noted that on March 17, 1980, Council adopted
the general plan for the area along Mountain View Drive
as recommended by the Planning Commission. Essentially,
the general plan amendment classified the usable land
along the north side of Mountain View Drive as "Residential, "
3. 5 units per acre, with four stipulations . The intent at
this time is to bring the zoning into conformance with the
adopted general plan.
Mr. Perry stated the property could either be zoned "R-1"
or "U" , and the net effect will be the same, as by law,
the general plan governs how many dwelling units can be
put upon a parcel. The "R-1" District does establish
front-, side-, and rear-yard setbacks and a 30-foot build-
ing-height limit. In an "R-1" District, a developer de-
siring to construct a single-family house would not be
required to obtain a use permit; whereas, in a "U" District
he would. The "U" District is the more restrictive of
the two districts since it requires a use permit and
notice to surrounding property owners .
Mr. Perry stated that the attorney for three property owners
has indicated his clients ' desires are that the property be
zoned "U" Unclassified since, under the terms of the
general plan, there are two options for development on
the north side of Mountain View Drive, a conventional
single-family development at 3. 5 units per usable acre or,
if the three properties develop jointly, a planned unit
development of up to six units per usable acre. To
develop a planned unit development will require rezoning
the property to "PD" Planned Development District. Unless
the property is rezoned "PD, " it can only be used for
single-family purposes whether it be in a "U" District or
an "R-1" District.
It is the recommendation of both the Commission and staff
that the area be rezoned "R-1" Single Family Residential
District. Since it requires a rezoning to "PD" Planned
Development District to obtain the six units per acre ,
staff sees no benefit in requiring a use permit for
single-family homes if the area is not a planned develop-
ment. If Council concurs, it is recommended that the
negative declaration be ratified and that the ordinance
be offered for first reading.
Mayor Pugh invited comments from the floor at this time.
Festus Green, 930 Palo Vista Court, a property owner in
the subject. rezoning, said he is in favor of the "R-1"
Single Family zoning.
Mayor Pugh cautioned Mr. Green that there is no guarantee
that the zoning will remain "R-1" , in that the other property
owners could apply for a "PD" Planned Development District
zoning which would allow up to six units per acre.

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated July 16 , 1980 , which memo-
randum is made a part of these minutes by reference. He noted
that the applicant has requested amendment of the Redding
General Plan for property located generally north of
Lake Boulevard and east of Alder Street, from "Residential, "
3. 5 units per acre; "Retail" ; and "Greenway" to "Residen-
tial, " nine units per acre; "Retail" ; "Office" and "Green-

Councilwoman Gard expressed concern about the traffic
problems that will occur when the projects proposed for
that area are developed. She fears another "Hilltop-
Cypress intersection" will be created. Mrs . Gard
suggested that this might be a good application for a
Benefit District.
This was discussed briefly; however, it was the feeling
of staff and other members of Council that the appropriate
time to institute a Benefit District would be either when
precise zoning is requested or when a tentative subdivision
map is filed.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council-
man Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Mayor Pugh allowed the applicant, Brent Owen, to comment
that he felt the traffic impact on the intersection by
his developmentwould be nothing compared to that of the
proposed shopping centers .
