Increase in Speed Limits for Victor Avenue
City Clerk Brayton advised Council that Mrs. Chereen Beck
is objecting to the proposed increase in the speed limits for
the area of Victor Avenue from Hartnell to Old Oregon Trail ,
and expressed her concerns for the many school children
tj walking or riding bicycles, who are forced to walk or ride
SIJ' " on narrow shoulders. There are very few sidewalks in the

AUDITORIUM SIGN COMMITTEE - re Auditorium Identification Sign 3
and Reader Board
Mayor Pugh reviewed the report of the Auditorium Sign Committee,
to Council, dated September 10, 1980. He stated that on
9/15/80
1
.. r. ....- -
350
December 3, 1979 , the City Council approved the recommendation
of the Auditorium Sign Committee as follows :
That an additional effort be made to extend an appeal for
a donor or a group of financial contributors to finance
the purchase price of this sign and that the City of
Redding finance the cost of installation and maintenance
after the expiration of the five year period included in
the purchase price.
That, if no donor or group of financial contributors
agreed to finance the purchase of this sign, the City of
Redding should consider its acquisition from public funds
consistent with the priorities assigned to other projects .
The estimated cost of the proposed sign and reader board is $56 , 000
plus $10, 000 electrical installation. At the time of the recom-
mendation, it was thought that some businesses might contribute
to the project.
The Committee now recommends that staff be directed to proceed
with the design and installation of an adequate identification
sign for the Auditorium. Or, if there is sufficient interest
in the community to provide a minimum of $35, 000 from private
financial sources to be used, the City should finance the
balance. Considering other financial needs faced by the City,
this Committee does not recommend that City funds be committed
in an amount in excess of this cost sharing formula.
Mrs. Gard advised that she had received a letter from an employee
of the Chamber of Commerce, requesting that Council delay a de-
cision on the project until the proposed "Tourist and Information
Bureau" is discussed, so as not to jeopardize the financing of
the Bureau. She suggested the possibility of using the "bed tax"
for financing both projects .
City Manager Brickwood strongly urged that Council make a decision
tonight, as the matter has been delayed several times already.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman
Fulton approving the recommendation of the Auditorium Sign Com-
mittee as hereinabove stated.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Fulton, Kirkpatrick, and Pugh
Noes: Council Members - Gard
Absent: Council Members - None
RESOLUTION - re Equal Rights Amendment
Councilman Fulton advised that a revised resolution is being
submitted to Council regarding the National League of Cities '
decision to hold meetings in states which have voted against
I /,,5 the Equal Rights Amendment. He stated that he felt the reso-
lution suggested at the previous Council meeting was slanted
;0'7' against a particular state, and felt it would be better to say
that the City urges the National League of Cities to hold its
meetings only in those states which have ratified the E .R.A. or
who have not yet voted.
It was called to the attention of staff that the resolution did
{ not state fully the intent of Councilman Fulton, and suggested
that the resolution be amended to indicate that meetings could
9/15/80
•
351
be held in states who have ratified the E.R.A. or in those who
have not yet considered the matter.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman
Demsher that Resolution No. 80-220 be adopted as amended, a reso-
lution of the City Council of the City of Redding urging that the
National League of Cities hold its meetings only in states
which have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment or which have
not yet considered same.

GROWTH COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION - re Deferred Street-Improvement
Fees in La Mesa Subdivision and Expansion of Regional Wastewater
Service District Boundaries
La Mesa Subdivision
Mayor Pugh abstained from discussion and voting on this item.
Councilman Kirkpatrick reviewed the recommendation of the Growth f�
Committee re a request to defer Shasta View extension street-
improvement fees in La Mesa Subdivision. He stated that at
its meeting of September 10 , 1980, the Growth Committee reviewed
the request by Frank Coughlin to defer such fees for La Mesa
Subdivision until final inspection is made on each dwelling unit.
The conclusion of the Committee was that the fees were the re-
sponsibility of the subdivider and should be paid up-front in
order for the City to commence work on Shasta View Drive.
Since the meeting, Mr. Coughlin has amended his proposal to request
that such fees be paid with the issuance of the first building permit
for the property. It is the opinion of staff that this meets the
intent of the Committee, provided that an agreement to that
effect is recorded between Mr. Coughlin and the City.
Councilman Kirkpatrick is in agreement with the recommendation
and recommended its approval.
In response to an inquiry from Mrs. Gard, Planning and Community
Development Director Perry advised that although there are several
large subdivisions in this area, such fees were not applicable nor
required of the developers .
Councilman Demsher felt this deferrment would not cause any pro-
blems for the City and would give the developer some time lag.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Fulton
approving the recommendation of the Growth Committee as hereinabove
stated and instructing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary
agreement. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Pugh abstaining
Expansion of Regional Wastewater Service District Boundary
Councilman Demsher reviewed the report of the Growth Committee re
a request for expansion of wastewater service area. He stated that
at its meeting of September 10, 1980, the Growth Committee recon- 3-3(p//
sidered the request to expand the Regional Wastewater Treatment
Plant service boundary to the Quartz Hill Road area. At the meeting,
no additional information was provided. It was the conclusion of
9/15/80
1
352
the Committee that the boundary should not be expanded for the
reasons outlined in the report previously submitted to Council
by the Growth Committee, dated August 14, 1980, which is hereby
made a part of these records by reference.
Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that the contour of the land is
another factor making it inappropriate for inclusion in the
district.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick approving the recommendation of the Growth Committee,
as hereinabove described, re expansion of the boundary of the
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Service District. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes

September 11, 1980. He stated that the City ' s attempts to
negotiate with Sierra Pacific Industries, successor in
interest to Humboldt Flakeboard, and Mr. & Mrs . Ludwig,
to acquire easements over their property for the Cascade
Sewer Project have been unsuccessful. He therefore recom-
mends adoption of a resolution of public convenience and
necessity to acquire said easements .
At this time, Mayor Pugh invited comments from the floor.
Mr. Jack Darley, 2275 North Street, Anderson, attorney for
Mr. Ludwig, stated they are not objecting to the project
but in exchange for the easement, Mr. Ludwig would like
one free sewer hookup and one free water hookup, to be used
at some future time.
Mayor Pugh advised Mr. Darley that Council is not in posture
to make such commitments , and suggested he discuss this with
staff. At this time, he said, Council is only considering
the resolution.

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated September 11, 1980 . He
stated that at its regular meeting of August 26 , 1980 , the
Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of
amending Rezoning Application PD-8-79, by Urban Environments,
Inc. Maps of the area and the amended site plan were shown
on the Vu Graph.
Mr. Perry advised that a 72-dwelling-unit planned development
on 15 acres located at the east end of Arizona Street, was
approved by Council on March 3, 1980. Since that time, the
applicant has acquired an additional parcel along the east
property line of the project, which he now wishes to rezone
to include in the project. This would raise the project
density to 76 units and increase the acreage to 15. 47 acres .
The basic concept will remain the same.
Mr. Perry stated that the applicant has also requested that
the portion of Condition No. 17 pertaining to offsite
street dedication (Arizona Street extension) be waived.
From the end of the existing paved section to the property,
Arizona Street is a 60-foot-wide, dirt rural easement. The
applicant has stated that he has been unable to get adjoin-
ing property owners to dedicate the easement, even though
he would be paving the street. The Commission was in agree-
ment that the street dedication requirement be waived.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and
staff that PD-8-79 be amended, subject to changes in con-
dition numbers 1, 5, 7, 13, 17, and 20, as stated in the
Planning Commission recommendation which is hereby made
a part of these records by reference. It is further
recommended that an ordinance amending PD-8-79 , be offered
for first reading.
In response to an inquiry from Councilwoman Gard, Mr. Perry
advised that approximately 800 feet of street paving would
occur as well as fully improved streets within the develop-
ment.

Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote:

Planning Commission Recommendation dated September 12, 1980
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated September 12 , 1980 . He
stated that at its regular meeting of August 26 , 1980, the
Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of
the subject rezoning application, to convert the Shasta
Villa apartment complex into air-space condominiums . Maps
of the area were shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry advised
that condominium conversion projects are categorically
exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act.
The 101-unit project consists of 48 one-bedroom units and
53 two-bedroom units situated in single-story and two-
, story fourplexes, respectively. Amenities include two
tennis courts, a recreation room, sauna, spa, and swimming
pool. Mr. Perry advised that the development meets all
"PD" requirements, with the exception of covered parking,
exterior setbacks , and private open space.
Mr. Perry stated that one covered parking space per unit
is proposed, which is consistent with the draft condominium
ordinance. The Commission recommended waiving the open-
space requirement, recognizing that the areas adjacent to
the private open spaces are extensively landscpaed and some
people may not want a large patio. Condition No. 31 provides
in the CC&R' s an option for purchasers to expand their
patios .
Mr. Perry noted that the applicants tenant policy goes be-
yond the requirements of the proposed condominium ordinance,
and the recommended conditions are a blend of "PD" condi-
tions and controls related to the draft ordinance.
It is the recommendation of the Commission and staff that
both the rezoning and tentative map be approved, subject
to the 33 conditions of approval which are hereby made a
part of these records by reference. It is further recom-
mended that the ordinance be offered for first reading and
that, in accordance with the Government Code of the State
of California, the City Council find and declare that, as
set forth in Government Code Section 66474 , none of the
conditions as listed in (a) through (g) exist with regard
to this proposed subdivision and that the proposed sub-
division is consistent with the Redding General Plan and
applicable specific plans.
Councilman Fulton was concerned about considering condo-
minium conversions before consideration of the condominium
ordinance.
In response, Mr. Perry advised that there are two reasons
for considering the condominium conversion at this point
in time. 1) The time line--under state law, action on a
subdivision application must be taken within 30 days . The
Planning Commission has deferred final consideration of
the condominium ordinance until its next meeting. This
could mean a delay of a month to six weeks in bringing the
9/15/80
357
matter to Council and getting final approval. 2) This pro-
posal is not being brought to Council under the condomium
ordinance, but as a Planned Development and it meets all
the requirements of this zoning.
Councilman Demsher commented that this is one way to process
the conversion and give the community the protection it
needs.
Mrs. Gard noted that tenant protection provisions in regard
to rent control, purchase discounts and no evictions, goes
beyond the requirements of the proposed ordinance.
Mayor Pugh was concerned about notification to neighbors
regarding patio enlargements which could, conceivably, close
off views of an adjacent unit or entirely enclose a unit.
Mr. Perry noted that the Commission and staff felt the
compromise on private open space and patio enlargements
was one which would permit property owners to do as
they saw fit. He did acknowledge that closing off views
could be a problem.
Council discussed the matter further as to legal notifica-
tion regarding patio conversions, enforcement problems , etc.

stated they are in the process of doing a similar conver-
sion. He wasconcerned that in this project the parking is
inadequate at less than an average of 1 . 5 spaces per unit.
He also noted that the private open space is not properly
provided for. Mr. Silvera stated that in order to accomplish
the private open space requirements , this would entail cover-
ing walks and inhibiting the travel of residents throughout
the project.
Mr. Robert Bisno, Vice President of Trans-Action Properties
stated that the figures Mr. Silvera compiled are not accurate.
He stated 2. 1 spaces are provided for the two-bedroom units
and 1. 521 spaces for the one-bedroom units , plus separate
guest and R.V. parking. He stated that in regard to the
patio enlargements, no single unit is bordered on two sides
by other units and it would be impossible to enclose a unit.
Mr. Bisno noted that his company has retained PACE Engineer-
ing to assist in designing the open space concept to assure
expansion that will not curtail activities of neighbors .

CANBY-HILLTOP DEVELOPMENT
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his
memorandum to Council dated September 11, 1980 . He stated that
in the area north of Highway 44 and east of Interstate 5 , the
adopted General Plan will allow a population of from 15 , 000 to
20, 000 persons . This growth, with attendant commercial develop-
ment in the Canby Drive, Hilltop Drive, Cypress Avenue, and
Dana Drive area, will require new public facilities to handle
traffic, storm drainage, etc. Based on traffic studies , staff
feels that an overpass is needed to handle traffic in the area
in conjunction with Hilltop Drive in order to provide for ,1s5
further development, to reduce congestion, and to reduce traffic J
impacts on nearby residential streets . He noted that there are
several projects, in various planning stages , which will have
a considerable effect on traffic generation, if and when they
are approved.
In anticipation of this development, Mr. Perry stated, it is
111 the opinion of staff that the City must now begin to plan the
necessary public improvements and research means of funding
these improvements . Immediate concern is with traffic and,
specifically with the proposed Canby Overpass . In order to pro-
ceed with the overpass proposal , it is staff ' s recommendation that
Council authorize a four-part program leading to the eventual con-
struction of the overpass . The program is as follows :
9/15/80
362
1. Plan Line - Authorize the Public Works Department and the
Planning Commission to prepare plan lines for extension of
Churn Creek Road between the Canby Road Substation and Lancers
Lane.
2. Authorize the Public Works Department to solicit proposals
for the design of a four-lane overpass across Highway 44 .
3 . Request the City Attorney to prepare a resolution designating
the area illustrated on the map as a redevelopment-survey
area.
4. Authorize the City Attorney to obtain appraisals and
acquire the parcel located north of Highway 44 and south
of Dana Drive (owned by Pacific Telephone) for street
right of way for the proposed overpass .
Mr. Perry stated that if the above steps are implemented, the City
will be able to develop a strategy leading to the construction of
the project and its funding. If the Council concurs , it is
recommended that Council approve the program as outlined, by
minute order.
Councilwoman Gard felt that it is time the City went forward on
this project.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick approving the Canby-Hilltop Development program as
outlined in steps 1 through 4 above. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

ENTERPRISE POOL - Phase 2
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his
memorandum to Council dated September 12 , 1980 . He stated that
when the City constructed the Enterprise Pool, the Kiddie Pool ,111
the solar heating, and the dressing rooms were deferred until a
future date. At this time, it is the recommendation of staff
that Council authorize the City Manager to file an application
with the State for Roberti-Z 'berg funds to construct the Kiddie
Pool.
The estimated cost of the project is $126 , 000. Under the grant 1-•- fl_
program, the City' s matching share would be $31, 500 , of which Vp
$20, 000 has been budgeted. The remaining $11, 500 would have
to be made up with other local funds .
It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution
authorizing an application to the State for $94 , 500 to be used
to construct the Kiddie Pool.
Mayor Pugh commented that this would not only be a Kiddie Pool ,
but also a pool for the handicapped.
Councilwoman Gard suggested that the Enterprise School District
be asked to share in the cost of this pool, since they do have
a program for handicapped children.

CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT REAUTHORIZATION - Draft Environmental
Statement
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his
memorandum to Council dated September 12, 1980 , pertaining to
the Draft Environmental Statement for the proposed Reauthorization t
of the Central Valley Project (CVP) , which memorandum is hereby g397-71
made a part of these records by reference. Mr. Perry stated
that staff feels the following concerns should be expressed by I (0the City:
1. Municipal and industrial purposes must .not be sacrificed
for environmental uses , as the City and other entities are •
relying upon present commitments .
2. The area-of-origin principle should be a major determinant
in the reauthorization process.
3. The economic benefits accruing to commercial and sport
fishing, water-fowl hunting, and Delta agriculture with
increased releases should be weighed against adverse
economic impacts on recreation at storage lakes and the
loss of existing and potential hydro-electric power-gen-
eration capacity.
•
4. The fact that increased environmental considerations would
have to be offset through the use of higher cost replace-
ment power sources or longer transmissions of replacement
power.
5. With water demand growing much faster than supply , a
national or regional water-conservation program is equally
as crucial as a national energy program.
Mr. Perry noted that the City has received notification that there
is to be a Public Hearing in Redding on Thursday , September 25 ,
pertaining to said matter and perhaps it would be well to have the
above concerns prepared for presentation at said meeting.
9/15/80
366
It is staff ' s recommendation that Council authorize a letter
addressing the issues outlined above to be drafted for the
} Mayor' s signature.
Councilwoman Gard stated she would like to see the suggestion
for water conservation in agriculture included. She felt an
equal emphasis should be placed on agricultural uses as on
residential uses.
Councilman Demsher was concerned about ground water usage and
ground water recharge and who will be responsible in the future
when ground water disappears .

RESOLUTION - re Installation of Metered Parking Spaces in Front
of the Lorenz Hotel
Traffic Engineer Hamilton reviewed the recommendation of the
Traffic and Parking Commission that two twelve-minute parking
meters be installed on the south side of Yuba Street in front
Ill of the Lorenz Hotel to facilitate the needs of the elderly
r rl residents . This ,was>--initiated by a request from Dr. Eichwald
and supported by the Silver Strand and the Senior Nutrition
Program. The Police Department also supported this recommenda-
tion because of enforcement reasons.
Council expressed concerns regarding the use of parking meters
while loading and unloading elderly passengers .
Mr. Hamilton stated that metered parking will help enforcement
and keep the cars moving more so than in a loading zone. He also
noted that the delivery vehicles servicing the Lorenz Hotel are
using the loading zones and with the colored curb, it is difficult
to tell how long they have been there. Hopefully, this will
alleviate this problem and leave the zone open for loading and
unloading passengers.

PETITION RE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS ON RIDGE DRIVE AND WISCONSIN AVENUE
The matter of traffic problems on Ridge Drive and Wisconsin Avenue
was considered by Council at its meeting of August 18 and con-
tinued to the meeting this evening at the request of Council .
Public Works Director Arness noted that staff has updated its
traffic count and accident records and find little change from i13H
the 1978 report, which did not indicate there was a problem. He
noted that speed studies were taken which indicate an 85th
percentile of approximately 35 mph, which is typical of speeds
in residential areas throughout Redding.
9/15/80
368
P
Mr. Arness stated that Buenaventura will be open for traffic
shortly and it is recommended that staff continue the review
of questions raised until there is an opportunity to evaluate
the effect of Buenaventura on these streets .
Councilwoman Gard expressed concern regarding the narrow right
turn area on Placer from Buenaventura and asked the Public Works
Director to check into the possibility of widening the lane .
Mr. Arness advised he would do so.
Mr. Steve Ebe, 1700 Wisconsin Avenue, spoke on behalf of residents
in the subject area. He stated that if 85% of the traffic is
travelling in excess of 25 mph, why can' t the City provide addi-
tional enforcement on the street.
Mayor Pugh advised Mr. Ebe that the courts and the law states
that when 85% of the traffic on a street is determined to be
driving in excess of the posted speed limit, that speed is
determined to be the safe driving speed. This speed must then
be the posted limit, in order to enforce it by use of radar.
Mr. Ebe asked that Council Members observe the area during
early morning and late afternoon peak traffic periods . He
suggested that stop signs be installed at intersections on
Wisconsin Drive.
Mr. Arness advised that this procedure has not proven to slow
down traffic, but such a request would have to be channeled
through the Traffic and Parking Commission. Mr. Arness advised
s' Council that staff would take new readings in the area in
approximately three to five months, when Buenaventura is com-
pleted and people have a chance to get accustomed to using
that route.
Mr. Ebe stated he did not feel that 35 mph could be considered
a safe driving speed on that street, as it is narrow and cars
are parked along the curb.
Council and Mr. Ebe discussed the possibility of installing
street lights in the area and of the neighbors forming an
assessment district.
Councilman Demsher commented that the residents should be
encouraged to park off-street as much as possible.
Councilwoman Gard noted that Buenaventura should be made as
convenient as possible and Wisconsin as inconvenient as possible.
Mr. Mike Englert, 1521 Ridge Drive, also suggested that stop signs
be placed at intersections along Wisconsin Drive.
Mayor Pugh advised that this procedure was used on Athens Avenue
in hopes of slowing the traffic and it has not proved to do so.
He noted that the traffic speeds up to 35 mph between stop
signs .
Councilman Kirkpatrick added that the sounds of vehicles speeding
up and stopping, is an additional drawback of this procedure.
After considerable discussion, it was the opinion of Council
that further discussion on this matter be continued until staff
has an opportunity to evaluate the effect of Buenaventura on these
streets .
