Mr. Bill Smith, Design Project Engineer for Caltrans , covered in some detail, the design of the proposed interchange and advised that minor additional right- of-way will be required. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Fulton, Mr. Smith advised that the reason for providing a pedestrian walkway here and not at the Airport Road interchange, is that the Airport Road area is basically rural and the Victor Avenue area is in a residential area where school children will be walking to and from school.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes QUOTATION FROM GENERAL ELECTRIC - re Disposal of Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Electric Director Simpson reviewed his memorandum to Council dated February 5, 1981. He stated that the Environmental Pro- tection Agency has placed several restrictions on the utiliza- tion of electrical equipment containing PCB and that the City has identified and removed all capacitors which contain PCB . He advised that seven rather small transformers have been iden- tified which contain the chemical. Mr. Simpson advised that the capacitors and the PCB that staff has removed from opera- ; fb tion are now stored in 55 gallon drums and larger steel boxes which are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation. He noted that all power transformers in the City' s system have been tested and it has been determined that one transformer contains slightly more PCB than is considered non-toxic by the E.P.A. Chemical filters have been ordered which will remove the PCB from this trans- former but Mr. Simpson noted this will take several months . Mr. Simpson stated that at present, there is no E .P .A. approved dump site for the City to ship the contaminated material , but a proposal has been received from General Electric Company to accept ownership of the City' s PCB' s at their point of pickup in the City and the City would have no further liabilities for this contaminated equipment. Mr. Simpson noted that he believes G.E . is the only handler of PCB ' s who will take full title and disposal responsibility for it. It is the recommendation of the Electric Director that Council authorize the City Manager to issue a purchase order in the amount of $40, 326 to General Electric for the removal of the City ' s PCB ' s . MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Demsher authorizing the City Manager to issue a purchase order in the amount of $40, 326. to the General Electric Company : for removal of the City' s PCB 's, in accordance with their Quotation Number 819T0342 dated February 3, 1981. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes CHANGE ORDER - Caldwell Park and Enterprise Community Park Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated February 13, 1981. He stated that in February 1978, Council began proceedings to acquire a park on the east side of Enterprise School and since that time , $60 , 000 in Community Development and $60, 000 in 1976 State Bond Act funds have been set aside for that purpose. In addi- GOO tion, the proposed acquisition has been reduced in size from 20 acres to 10 acres , as land values have increased. A c-0'0 map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry stated that, at this point, it does not appear that ti a negotiated sale can be arranged. In addition, the City must spend the Community Development money to meet HUD ' s drawdown _ requirements . He noted that the longer this money is tied up, the less valuable it becomes at present interest rates . - Mr. Perry reviewed the improvements under construction in Cald- well Park and the fact that landscaping between the parking 2/17/81 • 63 lot on the north side of the ball field and the back of the sidewalk along Delta Street, was not included in the bid, based on funds available at that time. The project as awarded would have asphalt up to the back of the sidewalk. II Mr. Perry stated that to landscape this area will cost about $20 , 000 and staff feels the proposed change order to accomplish said landscaping, will make the area nicer for the people who live on the north side of Delta Street, will be consistent with requirements placed on private land development, and will enhance the park. It is the recommendation of staff that Council release the grant funds assigned to acquisition of the ten acres in Enterprise for other projects, and approve a change order for Caldwell Park. Said change order would be accomplished with $20, 000 of the $60 , 000 in Community Development funds assigned to the Enter- prise Park. Mr. Perry noted that Caldwell Park is an existing Community Development project; thus, additional Community • Development funds can be assigned to it within HUD ' s guidelines . Mr. Perry further recommended that the question of acquisition of the Enterprise park be referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff for recommendation on whether to continue attempting to acquire the property. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council- woman Gard approving a Change Order for Caldwell Park and approving the recommendation .of the Planning and Community Devel- opment Director as hereinabove stated. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes SET PUBLIC HEARING - Annexation Request No. 80-10 , Mt. Vista Subdivision and Redwoods Mobilehome Park Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated February 13, 1981. He _stated that at its regular meeting of February 11, 1981, the Local Agency 3 Formation Commission reconsidered the above annexation at S$ //1 Council ' s request. At the conclusion of the hearing, the � b Commission reincluded in the annexation, the 160 . acres pre- h viously deleted. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry advised that since not all of the property owners have signed the petition, it would be appropriate to adopt a resolution setting a protest hearing. Resolution - Setting Protest Hearing MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Fulton that Resolution No. 81-28 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding initiating proceedings for annexation to the City of Redding of inhabited territory described herein and designated "Annexation No. 80-10" , (Mt.

The following documents are on file in the office of the 3s� y0 0 City Clerk: /1p ' � Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Continued Public Hearing The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received. Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated February 10, 1981. He stated that on February 6, 1981, staff met with Wilson Minor and Eugene Rother to review the proposed exchange of right of way for concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements in front of their property on Bechelli Lane south of Wilshire Drive. Mr. Arness submitted a tabulation of bids received to per- : form the work and a summary of the appraiser' s report. This information showed that the low bid is greater than the sum of the two appraisals and will result in each of the property owners having to pay for a portion of the work. Mr. Arness noted that during the negotiations , staff agreed to a 10 percent increase over the appraisals to help lower the cost to the owners. Mr. Arness stated that the proposal was categorically refused by both property owners. Their arguments included the belief that the appraisals were too low, the improvements are , not necessary, and the fact that other similar areas in the City have not been required to provide such improve- - ments. Mr. Arness stated that the goal of the Public Works Depart- ment is to protect the carrying capacity of major streets , control driveway locations on major streets wherever pos- sible, and reduce side friction on all streets . He noted that the installation of the signal at Hartnell Avenue, increasing the traffic on Bechelli Lane, is also a con- sideration. It is the recommendation of the Public Works Department to require the property owners to install those improvements suggested and to assign the residual charges to the property as defined by Chapter 27 of the 1911 Improvement Act. Mr. Eugene Rother, 3781 Henderson Road, stated he owns 2/17/81 65 the southern portion of the subject property. He opposes the improvements, stating that the City is trying to force them to install the improvements but is not requiring other property owners in similar situations to do so. He stated that traffic statistics for the area do not show that there has been a problem and he believes the proposal will create a bad "rear-end" situation by placing the drive- way so close to Wilshire Drive. He further noted that Mr. Arness contends there is a drainage problem in the area and that these improvements will alleviate that problem. Mr. Rother contends however, that there has never been a drainage problem there for the past 25 years . Mr. Rother feels that the installation of the traffic signal at Hartnell should not directly affect his property as it is over 700 feet away. He noted that he now has only 35 parking spaces and this proposal would eliminate 13 more spaces , leaving him only 22. He noted that under present requirements , the same size building in that location would require 70 parking spaces . Mr. Rother opposed the City ' s intention that Mr. Minor's only exit would be through his property. Mr. Rother sited other similar situations in the City where these improvements have not been imposed. Mr. Rother proposed an alternative configuration which was shown on the Vu Graph. He proposes a 12" white edge line be painted to separate the roadway from the parking area and to restripe the parking areas of the two properties for diagonal parking. Mr. Rother suggested that. this proposal would be inexpensive and should be tried for a while. If this does not work, then the curb, gutter and sidewalks could be reconsidered. He noted that under his proposal he would lose 7 spaces and Mr. Minor would lose 9 . Mr. Wilson Minor, 4068 Bechelli Lane, stated he is opposed to the improvements as proposed by the City. He supported the proposal submitted by Mr. Rother. Mr. Don Free, operator of Don' s Studio, was in agreement with the proposal by Mr. Rother. He stated that on a good day, all the present parking spaces are taken and they need all the parking spaces they have. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes In response to an inquiry, Mr. Arness noted that Mr. Minor ' s customers will still have to exit across Mr. Rother' s property with their proposed design. Council Member Gard noted that there will soon be about 80% curb and gutters in the area. She inquired as to whether a use permit would be required if there was a change of use in these buildings. 111 Mr. Perry advised that a use permit would not be required as long as the use was not more intensive than itcurrently is . He stated that it is currently a pre-existing non-conforming use. 2/17/81 66 Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that in the future there will probably be curb and gutters in the entire area, but for the present he felt the owners were trying to maintain a business and this requirement could be unwarranted at this time. Mr. Kirkpatrick suggested that the striping should be tried for a period of time rather than the expense of curb, gutter, and sidewalks . Councilman Demsher noted that there has been some improve- ment since the removal of the traffic buttons and felt the City should be willing to try the striping as suggested by Mr. Rother. He also favored improved lighting in the area. Mr. Demsher shared the concern re loss of parking, especially on the Minor property. Councilman Fulton was in accord with the striping and felt it would be a logical solution. Mayor Pugh noted that in regard to the purported traffic hazard, no traffic accidents have been reported entering or exiting from the subject property. He felt that im- posing the Chapter 27 program on the property owners would be an unfair burden at this time and that this program would still be available in the future if it is deemed necessary. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Demsher, Mr. Arness stated that if the striping proposal is approved, the City would be responsible for the white line at the edge of the roadway and the property owners would be responsible for striping the parking lots . MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Demsher not to require curb, gutter, and sidewalks on the subject property at this time, and to accept the property owners ' proposal as outlined on a trial basis ; said work to be accomplished within 60 days . The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Amendment GPA-4-80 by John Pullen and the City of Redding The hour of 7: 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the public hearing re General Plan Amendment GPA-4-80 by John Pullen and the City of Redding. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: /4C 6/ 6 Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing • 030 Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated 2/11/81 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and Mayor Pugh ascertained that there were no protests from the floor. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated February 11, 1981. He stated that at its regular meeting of January 13 , 1981 , the Planning Commission unanimously recommended reclass- ification of 76 . 4 acres located north of Old Alturas • 2/17/81 67 Road and east of Churn Creek from "Residential Reserve, " one unit per five acres, and "Residential, " 3 . 5 units per acre, to "Low Residential, " 3. 0 units per acre, and "Green- way. " A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry advised that the present General Plan classifi- cation for the eastern 22. 5 acres of the amendment area adopted in 1970 is one unit per five acres; the present General Plan classification of the western portion of the amendment area adopted in 1976 (GPA-2-75) is 3 . 5 units per acre. He described the existing land use of this and surround- ing areas and explained that the western boundary of the proposed plan amendment is Churn Creek. Mr. Perry stated that on the adopted General Plan, property to the west across Churn Creek is designated 3. 5 units per acre, and property to the southeast across Old Alturas Road is designated as 3. 0 units per acre on the Draft Enterprise Plan. On the General Plan update, the preliminary recommendation for this property and land north, up to Highway 299 , is also 3. 0 units per acre. He noted that when the Master Sewer Plan was prepared in 1979 , staff gen- erally assigned a 3. 0 unit-per-acre estimate to this entire section in order to anticipate future sewage loads . In the construction of the subdivision in the western portion of the amendment area, sewer and water lines are being stubbed out. It was the opinion of both the Commission and staff that the proposed reclassification of the area is appropriate. He advised that the western portion of the area is already approved for development at 3. 0 units per acre and with the immediate availability of utilities to the property and proximity to a major retail area, urban-type densities are reasonable for future development. If Council concurs, it is recommended that Council ratify the negative declaration and approve the amendment as outlined. It is further recommended that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare a resolution for consideration at the April 6, 1981 City Council meeting. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Demsher that the public hearing be closed.

In addition to the applicant' s property, the immediate parcels to the east and to the west were included in the rezoning. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. He stated that the rezoning follows the recent General Plan amendment for the area which reclassifies the parcels from "Residential, " 6 units per acre to "Residential, " 9 units per acre. It is the recommendation of the Commission and staff that the entire area be zoned "RM-9" Multiple Family Residential District, that the negative declaration be ratified and an ordinance be offered for first reading.

DOWNTOWN MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION - Request for Removal of Parking Meters in Parking Lot No. 11 Traffic Engineer Hamilton reviewed his memorandum to Council dated February 10 , 1981. He stated that the Traffic and Park- ing Commission considered the Downtown Mall Merchants request to remove the existing two-hour parking meters and limit, to be replaced with three-hour unmetered parking as in Parking Lots 8, 9 , 10 , and 12. He advised that no one appeared on behalf of Did a°Zd the Merchants Association and, after extensive discussion, the Commissioner sly to the est. Mr. Hamilton f --the priUe , '�o° 00mary purpose of Parking Lot No. 11 is to provide for shopper parking. The Merchants Association has not successfully regu- lated employer and employee parking in the California Street lots, and it was felt to extend the "free" parking to Lot No. 11 would result in serving employers and employees , not customers . The Commission felt, however, that if Council approves the re- quest, the Merchants Association should be responsible to the City for the net loss of revenue. 2/17/81 70 Councilman Fulton stated that some of the merchants have con- ; tacted him regarding this request and advised him that they were not notified of the meeting of the Traffic and Parking Commission and felt they had no input into the matter. Councilwoman Gard expressed concern that notices were not sent to the businesses who had made the request. Council Members discussed the problem of employees using the lot rather than customers . Mr. Hamilton stated that the Chair- man of the Commission has been observing the lot and has found that it has been filled before the mall was open for business . It was also noted that there will be an additional assessment on the association for the loss of revenue, should this request be approved. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Demsher that the above-stated request be referred back to the Traffic and Parking Commission with specific notification to the businesses who made the request and businesses in the immediate area. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes REEVALUATION OF LEASE AGREEMENT - B & B Rentals , Inc. (Hertz) at Redding Municipal Airport Airports Manager McCall advised Council that in February , 1971 , the City entered into a lease agreement with B & B Rentals , Inc. (Hertz) for a piece of property located adjacent to Airport Road and the main terminal entrance road at Redding Municipal Airport. He stated that the term of the lease is for 27 years with re- evaluation of the lease after the first 10 years and at seven year intervals thereafter. The rent for this property was set at $100 per month with a provision that the rent would be 11/ 400 $50 per month until March of 1973; however, this was extended 040 by Council until 1976. The ten year period for reevaluation is ' up on March 1, 1981. • It is the recommendation of the Airports Commission that the rent for B & B Rentals, Inc. be increased by $100 per month as of March 1, 1981. Total monthly payments from that date would be $200 per month. Mr. Fritz Eggars , B & B Rentals, Inc. , was opposed to the in- crease and said it would be a 100% increase. He stated that with the high cost of airline travel, their business has suffered and such an increase would be a hardship. Council questioned staff regarding when the City would be able to review the lease again and other specific terms of the lease. City Attorney Hays stated he had not had an opportunity to review the lease. Mr. McCall had a copy of the lease which he submitted to Mr. Hays . Mr. Hays advised that the periods of review appear to be every seven years and that this reevaluation period expires on March 1, 1981. However, it was recommended that the lease should be reviewed in more detail before action is taken by Council. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Demsher that action on the above Lease Agreement with B & B Rentals , Inc. be postponed to 12 Noon, February 23 , 1981 in 2/17/81 71 order to allow time to review the lease and negotiate with the lessee.
