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.

Mr. Darley stated his desire to speak at the public hearing. 9/15/80 354 City Attorney Hays reviewed his. memorandum to Council dated 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.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application PD-8-79 by Urban Environment Amendment Request The hour of 7: 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the Public Hearing re Rezoning Application PD-8-79 , amendment request, by Urban Environment, Inc. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated September 11, 1980 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and the Mayor ascertained that there were no pro- tests from the floor. 9/15/80 355 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. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Fulton approving the recommendation of the Planning Commis- sion and staff as hereinabove stated. The Vote: Unan- imous Ayes Ordinance Councilman Demsher offered Ordinance No. 1512 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 (PD-8-79) . PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application PD-4-80 , Shasta Villa Apartments Conversion by Trans-Action Properties , Inc. The hour of 7: 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the Public Hearing re Rezoning Application PD-4-80, Shasta Villa Apartments Conversion, by Trans-Action Properties , Inc. 9/15/80 - - - — 356 The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Affidvait of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing 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. Mr. Joe Silvera, Architectural Works, 2885 Bechelli Lane, 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 . MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council man Demsher that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Councilman Fulton again stated that he did not feel it was appropriate to be voting on this project until Council considers the condominium ordinance Councilman Kirkpatrick noted that he had served on the Condominium Conversion Committee with Mrs . Gard and others , and sees no problem with this project as it is in tune with the proposed ordinance. Councilman Demsher stated it is not likely that any project will fit exactly into the ordinance and that there will be exceptions on all conversions. 9/15/80 358 Councilwoman Gard stated that one of the important factors of condominium conversions is the tie-in with replacement housing needed in the community. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council- woman Gard that Council finds and declares that, as set forth in Government Code Section 66474, none of the con- ditions as listed in (a) through (g) exist with regard to this proposed subdivision and that the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Redding General Plan and applicable specific plans.

The property is located at 320 Hilltop Drive and the applicant has requested rezoning the property from "U-F" Unclassified District to "PD" Planned Develop- ment District.

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.

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 .

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.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Pugh abstaining 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 . 9/15/80 369 RESOLUTION - Accepting Streets in Mountain Lakes Industrial Park Unit No. 3 (Assessment District No. 1980-2) MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Demsher that Resolution No. 80-230 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding accepting for 35 /'I maintenance and operation Mountain Lakes Boulevard, Tahoe : .
