He stated that at its meeting of • October 6, 1980 , Council approved the Tourist Bureau and Visitor' s Center in concept only. He presented the expandedp�- proposal including the first-year budget estimate. Mr. Brickwood advised that the City has acquired the old Kutras ��; house at 755 Auditorium Drive through its annual purchase of X5' 7 -t Turtle Bay parcels . It has been inspected by the Planning C and Building Departments and found to be ideal to remodel for • • 2/2/81 42 this purpose. He noted that the building is in close prox- imity to the Auditorium, has sufficient area for parking and can be easily located by anyone wishing to visit the Center. Mr. Brickwood said the funds for this operation will be derived from the room occupancy tax which is currently six percent with one percent being used for Auditorium convention promotion. It is Mr. Brickwood' s belief that it will be necessary to increase the tax rate from six to eight percent with three percent going to fund the combined operation. He noted that an election will be necessary to increase the tax rate. After considering all aspects of this proposal and talking to other cities who have such programs , Mr. Brickwood feels it can be a definite benefit to the City of Redding. He suggests com- bining the Auditorium promotion operation and the Tourist Bureau program into one operation, to be governed by the City. Ron Heuer, the current convention promoter, was recommended to head the new "Bureau" . It is recommended that Council approve the following: Establishment of a Tourist Bureau and Visitor' s Center, combined with the Convention Promotion operation; The first-year budget; An election to be held in either April or June; Authorization for the City Manager to proceed, which of course will be dependent upon the outcome of the election. Councilwoman Gard expressed concern that funding of the "Bureau" would have to come from the General Fund, in the event that the election to increase the room occupancy tax does not pass . It was Councilman Kirkpatrick ' s feeling that it would be appropriate to approve the City Manager' s recommendation and, if the election does not pass, there would be no project. Vice Mayor Demsher stated that Council and staff have looked at this proposal for a long time and he believes it _would be a .bene- fit to the City. He felt that Council ' s approval would be dependent upon the approval of the voters to increase the occupancy tax and would not otherwise be supported by the City. • Councilwoman Gard noted that she is in agreement with the recom- mendation and favors government control of the program as it should avoid confusion and duplication of effort. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved establishing a Tourist Bureau and Visitor' s Center, and authorizing an election in June to increase the room occupancy tax from six to eight percent. Vice Chairman Demsher suggested that Mr. Kirkpatrick' s motion • include a statement that the establishment of said Bureau is • contingent on the outcome of the election. Councilman Kirkpatrick withdrew his motion. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard seconded by Councilman Fulton authorizing the City Manager to proceed with the estab- lishment of a Tourist Bureau and Visitor's Center, combined with the Convention Promotion operation, contingent on the 2/2/81 43 approval of a room occupancy tax increase when an election is held. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mr. Mike Wyant of the Chamber of Commerce, stated he is very pleased with Council ' s approval of the project and complimented staff on their proposal and for the recommendation of Ron Heuer as Director of the operation. He stated that the Chamber will furnish information to the public to show the need for the tax increase and the benefits that can be de- rived from a Tourist Bureau operation. JOINT UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL FACILITIES - Lake Boulevard and Clay Street Electric Director Simpson advised that Pacific Telephone, Viacom and the City of Redding are proposing to jointly underground electrical facilities on Lake Boulevard and Clay Street. The 9a' estimated cost to the City for participation in this project is .— $7, 000 . r0?0,9246 It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve the City' s participation in this program and authorize the City Manager to sign the necessary document. Mr. Simpson noted that funds have been budgeted for this project. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the City' s participation in the above-described joint undergrounding at Lake Boulevard and Clay Street, and authorizing the City Manager to sign the necessary documents . The Vote: Unanimous Ayes JOINT POLE CONSTRUCTION - Highway 273 North of Lake Boulevard Electric Director Simpson advised that PGandE is proposing to perform joint construction with the City of Redding to upgrade the 12, 000 volt distribution system for approximately 2 , 600 feet along Highway 273 north of Lake Boulevard. They will furnish and install poles that are to be jointly owned by the City; a conductor will be installed by the City and will be the sole property of the City. Mr. Simpson estimated the cost to the City at $12 , 000 , and recommended that Council approve the project and authorize ,D the City Manager to sign the necessary documents . He noted that funds have been budgeted for this project. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Fulton approving the City' s participation in the above-described joint pole construction and authorizing the City Manager to sign the necessary documents . The Vote: Unanimous Ayes • DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS PROPERTY - 1761 Manchester Avenue Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 29 , 1981. He stated that at its regular meeting of January 13, 1981, the Planning Commission granted the City a variance to create a lot with 0(p l prss oopertlocated ynthe gatr1d7611nimum ManchesterhAvenue. Ayard map of the on property Y (.. ,.00-.14° area was shown on the Vu Graph. He said the Commission's action makes it possible for the City to sell a house and the remainder of a lot that were acquired by the City last year to widen Victor Avenue. Prior to selling the remainder of the lot, the City would widen the street and construct new curb, 2/2/81 44 gutter and sidewalk and access rights to Victor Avenue would be transferred to the City. Other modifications would be made to the house to upgrade the property. It is the recommendation of staff that Council designate the property surplus and authorize the selling of the remaining lot and house after the improvements are completed. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council- , woman Gard approving the recommendation of staff that the house and property at 1761 Manchester Avenue be designated surplus and authorizing the selling of the remaining lot and • house after the improvements are completed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes • SET PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Amendment Application, GPA-4-80, by Pullen and Gunlogson and the City of Redding MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick setting a public hearing for 7: 30 P.M. , February 17, 1981, to consider General Plan Amendment Application GPA-4-80 , O3, 5 by Pullen and Gunlogson and the City of Redding. The Vote: 0 - Unanimous Ayes SET PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-9-80 , by Clebert Richards and the City of Redding MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman ��14 Kirkpatrick setting a public hearing for 7: 30 P .M. , February 17 , 0 1981, to consider Rezoning Application RZ-9-80, by Clebert o/o. ' Richards and the City of Redding. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 80-14 - Hawley Road Area Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 30 , 1981. He stated that at its meeting of October 20 , 1980, Council directed staff to survey property owners in the area north of the Mt. Shasta Mall, east of Interstate 5, and south of Highway 299 , to de- _5$3 termine interest in annexing to the City of Redding. A map was distributed to Council depicting those property owners who have expressed interest in annexing and a recommended annex- , 3 ation boundary as a result of that survey. He noted that the /50' area is contiguous to the City on the west and southwest, con- ; /17 ' sists of 1, 892 acres and contains 42 dwelling units . Mr. Perry stated that the Bella Vista Water District provides water service to the area at present. Mr. Perry advised that most of the area is within the boundaries of the Redding Regional Wastewater Service Area. He stated that topographically, gravity-sewer service could be extended slightly further east than the illustrated sewer-service boundary. The i sewer-service boundary bisects several of the large parcels in the area, however, no representation has been made for sewer service east of the boundary. It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution commencing annexation proceedings, which will set the boundary for discussions concerning taxes and water service. Property-tax revenue exchange is still being negotiated by the City Manager. Councilwoman Gard expressed three concerns regarding annexations such as the Hawley Road Area Annexation: 1) Residents being included in annexations who do not wish to come into the City; 2/2/81 45 2) How the City will provide urban services unles's- there is a long term financial plan for providing said services ; 3) The lack of an agricultural zone. In response to an inquiry from Councilwoman Gard, Mr. Perry advised that there is a potential for up to 24 ,000 additional residents in this proposed annexation and noted there there is a sewer line near the area. Councilman Fulton also expressed concern and feels the situation is getting worse. Vice Mayor Demsher said that many people wish annexation because of the City' s ability to provide cheap power, but noted that the more annexations the City has , the more threatened cheap power becomes. He feels it is desirable to annex uninhabited territory so that the City may set high quality standards for development, but that some long range master planning on pro- viding urban services, should be done. Mrs . Gard agreed that the ability to control development is good but suggested that study sessions be held to consider some of the concerns expressed by Council. Councilman Kirkpatrick agreed and said some of these points have come up at Growth Committee meetings. It is the Committee 's feeling that an ultimate boundary should be set for the next 20 to 25 years. It is Mr. Kirkpatrick' s understanding that the Planning Commission has started such a study. He said the • City is beginning to creep outside the boundary of the Waste- 111 water treatment area and felt the Bella Vista Water District and the City of Redding should work together in buying and selling water to the area. Mrs. Gard feels the land use in these areas seems fairly simple but it is the services she is concerned about. She stated the City is surrounded by special services districts and must work out agreements with these districts . She was con- cerned about the number of people being pulled into the annex- ation who were not in favor of it. Mr. Perry advised that 2/3 of the people were in favor of annexation. He noted that the Bella Vista District is re- searching to determine whether their levy is an ad valorem tax or an assessment district. Mrs. Gard asked if it is true that the Bella Vista District has not indicated whether it is in favor of this annexation or not. Mr. Perry advised that is correct. Council discussed the recommendation that. a resolution be adopted commencing proceedings and it was determined that said action will simply begin discussion on the annexation request and was not a final action. Commencement of proceedings will set the boundary for discussions concerning taxes and water service. Resolution - Commencing Annexation Proceedings - MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council- woman Gard that Resolution No. 81-18 be adopted, a resolution 2/2/81 46 of the City Council of the City of Redding consenting to commencement of annexation proceedings and applying to LAFCO for approval of the annexation to the City of Redding of inhabited territory designated City of Redding Annexation No. 80-14 , (Hawley Road Area) . Voting was as follows : • Ayes: Council Members - Fulton, Gard, Kirkpatrick, and Demsher Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Pugh Resolution No. 81-18 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-20-80 and Variance V-19-80 by Applicant, Tom Shuck The hour of 7: 30 P.M. having arrived, Vice Mayor Demsher opened the public hearing re appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-20-80 and Variance V-19-80 by applicant, Tom Shuck. • The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: do -� Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation, January 29 , 1981 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and the Vice Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 29 , 1981. He stated that at its regular meeting of December 23 , 1980 , the Plan- ning Commission unanimously denied the request to create lots with less than the minimum lot area, width, side- yard setback, street frontage, and front-yard setback on property located at 570 Deanna Street in a "U" Unclassified District. This decision has been appealed by the applicant. Maps of the area were shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry advised that the property is located north of Parsons Drive and east of Bechelli Lane and consists of 1. 02 acres . He explained that 34 . separate variances would have to be granted in the subdivision due to lot, building, and street ' width deficiencies. Mr. Perry said that in denying these applications , the Commission was concerned with the following factors : 1. Approval of the application would create a single- family subdivision within a multiple-family area. > The Commission felt that the property was developed as a multiple-family and should stay multiple-family in order to avoid land use conflicts . 2. Approval of the application would create a precedent. 3. The size of the proposed parcels did not meet the intent of the City Code, which is to have single- family lots of adequate area. The Commission felt that the argument that granting the variance to create more low-cost housing is effectively countered by the argument of loss of low-cost rental housing. 2/2/81 47 4 . Compared to other similar applications , this project, if approved, would create substantially smaller parcels and require more exceptions. 5. There was no reason for the City to accept main- tenance of a substandard street. It is the recommendation of staff that the Planning Commission' s action be upheld and that the appeal be denied. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Council- man Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Councilwoman Gard felt that creating a substandard sub- division such as this is a precedent the City does not want to set. She felt the application was totally in- appropriate and the appeal should be denied. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Council- man Kirkpatrick that the appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-20-80 and Variance V-19-80 be denied. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 80-11 - Oak Mesa Lane Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 29 , 1981. He stated that at its regular meeting of January 14, 1981, LAFCO approved the annexation of 326. 7 acres to the City in the area of Churn Creek, south of Old Alturas Road, and north of Highway 44 . di A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. He advised that °- A since not all of the property owners in the area signed the /°,/a. petition, it is appropriate to adopt a resolution setting a p' protest hearing. Resolution - Setting Protest Hearing MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council- man Fulton that Resolution No. 81-19 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding initiating pro- ceedings for annexation to the City of Redding of inhabited territory described herein and designated "City of Redding Annexation No. 80-11" (Oak Mesa Lane) , and giving notice of of time and place for hearing protests , 7: 30 P .M. , March 16 , 1981.

He stated that at its regular meeting of January 14, 1981, LAFCO approved 6153_110/37 the annexation by the City of 2. 38 acres located on either e �� side of Henderson Road. A map of the area was shown on the /�,/a Vu Graph. He advised that since not all of the affected 14 ' property owners signed the petition, it would be appropriate to adopt a resolution setting a protest hearing. 2/2/81 48 Resolution - Setting Protest Hearing MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that Resolution No. 81-20 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding initiating pro- ' ceedings for annexation to the City of Redding of uninhabited territory described herein and designated "City of Redding Annexation No. 80-16" , (Daniels and Tilden parcels on Henderson Road) , and giving notice of time and place for hearing pro- tests , 7: 30 P.M. , March 16, 1981.

ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 80-17 - Country Oaks Subdivision Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 29 , 1981. He stated that at its regular meeting of November 17, 1980, the City Council referred to the Growth Committee for report and recom- mendation a petition from 19 property owners in the Country Oaks Subdivision. The referral was to review the need for sidewalks and street lights in the subdivision. A map of the �A area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry explained that Country Oaks Subdivision is a new subdivision just outside the City. In 1976, the Planning Commission commented on the /,./69subdivision at the request of the County and these comments were reiterated to the County in 1979 by staff. He said that the Commission asked that the subdivision be developed to City standards since it was likely to be annexed to the City and since it was using City water and sewer facilities . He noted that the County was willing to create a multiple- _ family and commercial area on the property; whereas , the City General Plan allowed only single-family residential. It is the recommendation of the. Growth Committee and staff that several conditions be imposed precedent to annexation. These are that in Unit No. 1, street lights and sidewalks be in- stalled prior to annexation and that in Unit 2, sidewalks be installed. Unit 2 was built with street lights . Mr. Perry stated that if Council concurs in the recommendation of the Growth Committee, staff will notify the affected prop- erty owners. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Gard, City Attorney Hays advised that Council would have the right to deny the re- quest under the provisions of MORGA as long as it has not yet been approved by LAFCO . Council Member Gard suggested that a policy be established that would not permit annexation of subdivisions if they are not brought up to City standards and if the subdivision does not conform to the City' s General Plan. Mr. Perry responded that it would be well to have the Growth Committee consider such a policy. Vice Mayor Demsher noted that the City should try to establish 2/2/81 49 a policy with the County to work together on urban development standards. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council- woman Gard approving the recommendation of the Growth Committee as hereinabove stated, and authorizing staff to notify the affected property owners . The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 80-20 - Irene Street Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 29 , 1981. He stated that at its regular meeting of December 15, 1980, Council referred Annexation Request No. 80-20, Irene Street, to staff and the Growth Committee for report. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. 501,I4 eco,, ? Mr. Perry advised that Irene Street is a dead-end street running in northward from Wilshire Drive, with six parcels on either side. p4' On the west side, three of the six property owners are requesting annexation. It is the recommendation of staff and the Growth Committee that annexation proceedings not be commenced, as it is their belief that for annexation to occur, it should include both sides of the street so the City would not have to construct a power line parallel to the existing PGandE lines and to define road- maintenance responsibility. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman • Kirkpatrick that Annexation Request No. 80-20 , Irene Street, be denied at this time and annexation proceedings not be commenced as hereinabove stated. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 80-19 - Old Alturas Road Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 29 , 1981. He stated that at its regular meeting of December 15, 1980 , Council referred .fit/A the annexation request from two property owners along Old c/ Alturas Road to the ,Growth Committee. A map of the area was /� shown on the Vu Graph. n /5� I"' It is the recommendation of the Growth Committee and staff that annexation proceedings be deferred until additional re- quests are received along Old Alturas Road, to provide conti- nuity of the City boundary along the street. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Fulton approving the recommendation of the Growth Committee and staff that annexation proceedings be deferred on Annexation Request No. 80-19, Old Alturas Road, until additional requests are received along Old Alturas Road. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 1980 BOND ACT ALLOCATION Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 28, 1981. He stated that at its regular meeting of January 22 , 1981, the Shasta County a-g69 6 Recreation Commission recommended to the Board of Supervisors a2 9� that the 1980 Bond Act allocation for Shasta County be dis- tributed among the nine eligible agencies. Mr. Perry submitted r- a list showing the amount of money each agency is to receive as 2/2/81 50 well as the percentage of the funds it will receive, the agency 's population, and its percentage of county population. Mr. Perry explained that functionally, under the proposed allocation, the City of Redding, with 36 . 8 percent of the County 's population, would receive only 26 . 8 percent of the funds . This amounts to a loss of approximately $40 , 000 . If the immediate service area of the City is considered, which has a population of about 55 , 000 persons , or 48. percent of the County' s population, the City would lose $87 , 500 for its parks programs . He noted that the principal concerns with the allocations are, the arbitrary manner in which the money was allocated, the amount of money reserved for the County, and the viability of the projects proposed. Mr. Perry said that the one thing the hearings on the Bond Act funds illustrated is a con- ; siderable number of unmet park needs, not only in the City but throughout the County. Whereas the City is trying to de- velop park facilities in the recently annexed Enterprise, Cascade and Buckeye areas, there are also many areas in the County that are lacking minimal recreational facilities which are also trying to develop facilities. • Mr. Perry advised that Council may elect either to ratify or not ratify the allocation plan. According to the State, the County has until December 1981, to establish the allocations . If Council elects to ratify the plan, the City Attorney should be • instructed to prepare a resolution for the next regular Council meeting. Councilman Kirkpatrick said he had attended the Shasta County Recreation Commission hearings held on this matter. He stated that the first hearing was disastrous as the agencies were under pressure to submit their proposals. At the second hearing, it was determined that each agency should receive a minimum of $20 , 000 . The method used to arrive at a formula for the re- mainder of the funds was that each Commissioner submitted his figures on how he felt the funds should be allocated. Mr. Kirkpatrick felt the method used at arriving at the allocations was arbitrary and should not be supported. He noted that unless five of the nine agencies, with at least 50%% of the total pop- ulation fail to ratify the distribution recommended by the Shasta County Recreation Commission, the County can approve the established allocations. Mr. Kirkpatrick said it is important that the City not approve the plan as approval would . 1ndicate that Council is in accord with the methodof allocating the funds and such method would be continued in the future. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Fulton that the 1980 Bond Act Allocations of the Shasta County Recreation Commission be disapproved because of the arbitrary and inappropriate method of distribution, and that said dis- tribution should be made more on the basis of population. Council Member Gard asked if the County is funding projects other than the special districts. Mr. Perry stated that is correct. • Council Member Gard stated she would prefer to take no action 2/2/81 51 and send a letter stating that there was no well-defined criteria established for the allocations. Vice Mayor Demsher stated that taking no action eliminates the possibility of going through the process again. Vice Mayor Demsher called for a vote on the motion. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council .Members - Fulton, Kirkpatrick, and Demsher Noes: Council Members - Gard Absent: Council Members - Pugh ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 81-3 - Various Owners in Airport Area Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo to Council dated January 29 , 1981.

REGULATION OF MOBILEHOME PARKS Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 29 , 1981. He stated that in 1967, the City took-over regulation of mobilehome parks in //s 0 the City pursuant to Title 25 of the California Administrative Code. Today the City has eighteen mobilehome parks totaling wz :/ d 1219 spaces. He advised that the State Department of Housings'- , p0 and Community Development is now requesting that the City in- C' crease the level of -its annual inspections of -_mobilehome parks and the mobilehomes therein. He estimates that this increased 2/2/81 52 work would require the hiring of an additional building in- Spector who would do nothing but mobilehome inspections three months every year, not allowing for following up on violations . Mr. Perry said that in reviewing the estimated cost of the addi- tional enforcement against the income the City has received from these inspections, there will be an annual operating loss of about $2, 600. If the City gives up regulation of the parks , the State will oversee the parks at no cost to the City, and the City will still retain full zoning control of the parks . It is the recommendation of staff that the City cease regulation of the mobilehome parks under Title 25 of the California Ad- ministrative Code and the City Attorney be instructed to pre- pare a resolution rescinding Resolution No. 3980 , for the next Council agenda. It is also recommended that Council instruct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to reinstate the business license fee for mobilehome parks. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Fulton approving the recommendation of staff as hereinabove stated.
