Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April 16 , 1981. He stated that the Planning Commission has unanimously recommended rezoning of approximately 315 acres generally located south of South Bonnyview Road, west of the Sacramento River and Riverside Drive, and north of Sacramento Drive from "U" Unclassified District to "PD" Planned Development District and "RM-6" Low Density Multiple Family Residen- tial District. A map of the area was shown. He noted that Council has received a petition and letters concern- ing the project as well as previously receiving the final EIR for the project. Mr. Perry explained that the Commission also recommended that Council give credits for capital-improvement and storm-drainage fees on improvements that the developer will be making in the area as part of the development. In addition, the Commission recommended that a special benefit district be formed in the area that is tributary to the Bonnyview Ditch. The applicants propose to construct 690 units in the "PD" area, a 104-unit senior-citizens apartment complex, and an eight-acre retail center on the site . Development would be phased over a 12-year period. The "PD" housing mix consists of 493 attached units and 197 detached dwellings . Mr. Perry explained other components and amenities of the project. He advised that the General Plan for the site, as part of the Cascade Community Plan, provides for a shopping center and 533 units , with residential-density classifications of two units and six units per acre. The applicants ' 690-unit "PD"-zoning request seeks the maximum density bonuses. The 104-unit senior-citizens complex would be developed with "RM-6" zoning on 12 . 4 acres, subject to obtaining a use permit. Mr. Perry advised that at this point, the developers have submitted plans only for Phase 1 of the project. To develop Phase 1 at the density proposed, the developers must have the entire area zoned "PD" in order to transfer units and create the higher-density condominium areas. As submitted, Council would be approving two levels of plans. The first would be a generalized plan that segments the property into areas, establishes density and/or use, number of units by area, creates a master road plan for public streets, and depicts the location of parks, and open-space areas. The second, more-detailed level would be the preliminary plans for development of the area as submitted for Phase 1. He explained that Phase 1 consists of the shopping center, 200 attached dwellings , construc- tion of the drainage channel, and partial construction of Creekside Drive. In Phase 1, Roads "B" and "E" , part of the recreation center, and part of the RV storage area 4/20/81 138 • would also be developed. The site plans depict clustered units in groups of from two to five attached single-story and townhouse models. Mr. Perry noted that issues raised and discussed at Planning Commission public hearings pertaining to the EIR on the project include density, parks, preservation of riparian habitat, traffic, utilities, and archaeological resources. It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve PD-1-80 , subject to the 64 conditions of approval. It is also recommended that, in accordance with Section 66474 of the Government Code of the State of California, that Council find and declare that none of the conditions 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. It is further recommended that, pursuant to Section 15088 of the State EIR Guidelines, that Council find that changes or alterations have been required in or incorpor- ated into the project which mitigate or avoid the signif- icant environmental impacts as identified in the final EIR and further recommend that certain "PD" findings are in evidence as indicated hereinafter. Mr. Perry stated that with respect to the recommendation concerning credits for capital-improvement and storm- drainage development fees, it was the opinion of the Commission that the developer was doing sufficient addi- tional work to justify the credits. These credits would be further covered in a development agreement expected as a follow-up to approval of the planned development. Mr. Perry noted that a development agreement would have to be approved by Council. Mr. Perry explained that the recommendation that a special benefit district be formed will require enabling legisla- tion to be placed in the City Code as provided for in Sections 66483 or 66485 of the Subdivision Map Act. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that PD-1-80 be approved and findings be made as outlined above; that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the necessary rezoning ordinance; that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare ordinances to provide the necessary enabling legislation for reimbursement agreements and benefit districts; and that Public Works be authorized to work with the developer on developing a storm-drainage benefit district for Council ' s considera- tion. Mike Wells , P. 0. Box 1846 , Redding, attorney for the developer stated that the developers agree with the recommendation of the Planning Commission. They feel that the benefit district will improve the entire drainage area. He stated that the development agreement is in process with the City Attorney. } GaryStacey,y, representing the California Department of Fish and Game strongly supported the project and felt it provided a good plan for the preservation of riparian habitat along the Sacramento River. 4/20/81 • 139 Barbara Daniels , 5070 Sunnyhill Lane, Redding, expressed concerns regarding the project. She is a resident in the area and feels the project is precedent setting in that the location will have far-reaching effects on the sur- rounding area. Mrs. Daniels feels that the number of dwelling units will overburden the streets and cause traffic congestion near the overpass on the east side of the river for people turning left on I-5. While she felt the project was a good one , she has reservations about this location; it is her belief that this type of project belongs in the core area of a city and not in a rural residential area. She questioned the 25 foot setback requirement on the banks of the river and felt this should be increased due to "Possible erosion problems. Mrs. Daniels stated that 'she is aware of many other residents in the area who feel as she does but are not present this evening to express their concerns. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote : Unanimous Ayes In response to an inquiry from Mrs. Gard, Mr. Perry • advised that the proposal which was originally considered by the Cascade Committee for this area consisted of over 1100 units. Mrs. Gard questioned the Public Works Director regarding the stability of the banks along the Sacramento River in the subject area. Mr. Arness advised that direct current can cause some loss of banks but with some minor work, erosion can be minimized. Mr. Perry explained that the 25 foot setback requirement is from the top of the bank and that there is an addi- tional setback of 25 to 50 feet from the bottom of the bank. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Fulton, Mr. Perry stated that to his knowledge , no low-cost housing would be provided in this project. Mr. John Varga, engineer for the project stated the price range of the units is $80 , 000 to $110 ,000 with no low-cost housing anticipated. • Councilwoman Gard felt that all the issues of the project have been addressed. She stated that the real concerns of the Cascade Committee were the development of the island as well as the traffic pattern and all of these issues have been addressed. Mayor Pugh stated that the City is aware of the issues discussed by Mrs. Daniels and is working to minimize these problems. It was noted that Caltrans will be installing signals at the South Bonnyview interchange but it is not known when this work will be done. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Fulton that, in accordance with Section 66474 of the Government Code of the State of California, Council finds 4/20/81 140 and declares that none of the conditions 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 with regard to PD-1-80 .
