WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Communication from Ken Murray - re Committee to Further
Attract Desirable Industry to Redding
Ken Murray, 3295 Forest Hill Drive, was present to advise
Council of a recently formed committee to further the goal
of attracting desirable industry to the City of Redding in
order to counteract the high unemployment rate. Mr. Murray
explained that a group of interested people have gotten
• together to discuss this matter and have formed the
�� Redding Area Development Committee. He noted that three
`y subcommittees have also been formed to determine what the
Redding area has to offer a clean industry, the political
processes involved, and to develop a brochure describing
the benefits of locating in Shasta County. He noted that
the RADC has the endorsement of the Shasta County Board of
Supervisors, the Realty Board, and the Chamber of
Commerce.
Mr. Murray stated that after contacting several executives
of electrical industries in Southern California, the
Committee found that before relocating, five factors are
considered:
1) Political Climate (whether or not they are wanted
in a community)
2) Social Climate
3) Availability of Work Force
4) Affordable Housing
5) Availability of Uninterrupted Power

Mr. Murray feels that this area has everything that is
desirable to attract clean industry. He requested that
Council take an affirmative position for the efforts to
attract desirable industry to the City for the purposes
of reducing the high unemployment rate. He also
requested an opportunity to come back to Council at its
next regular meeting with a specific proposal. Mr.
Murray noted that the Committee has been working with
Bob Cooper of the Economic Development Corporation and ..
that Mr. Cooper is present this evening to answer any
questions Council may have regarding the E.D.C.
Mayor Pugh complimented the Committee for its efforts and
said that Council is in agreement with these efforts and
will work with the Committee.
Councilwoman Gard expressed the hope that this Committee
will not request local government to change standards in
any way and stated that City standards should apply to
everyone who desires to come into the City.
Mr. Murray assured Council that the Committee has no
intention of reducing standards. He noted that the City
staff has been very cooperative and that the City' s permit
processing time is one of the fastest in the State. He
stated that the Committee has no intention of expecting
the City to take a "roll over and play dead" position.
Councilman Kirkpatrick said the Committee is doing• a good
job but has barely scratched the surface with the electri-
cal industry and that other clean industry should also be
considered.
Mr. Cooper, 1100 Pinewood Court, from the Economic Devel-
opment Corporation, stated their organization has just
started working with the Redding Area Development Commit-
tee and supports their efforts. They do have one staff
member on contract working on the brochure and map dis-
cussed by Mr. Murray.
Councilman Demsher stated that the E.D.C. has been very
effective and helpful and that the community needs to
keep in mind that E.D.C. and Mr. Murray are working
together and that the City also wishes to be very
cooperative. Mr. Demsher suggested that the Committee
meet with staff regarding the availability of
resources, etc. and Mr. Murray advised that they have
had some discussions with staff regarding these
matters.
Mr. Murray submitted an Electronics Assembly Survey
conducted by the Mountain Lakes Industrial Park to deter-
mine the potential labor pool for electronic component
assembly in the Redding Area.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Demsher supporting the efforts of the Redding
Area Development Committee to further the goal of attract-
ing desirable, clean industry to the City of Redding, and
allowing time on the next City Council agenda to present
its specific proposal. The Vote : Unanimous Ayes

PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-3-81,
by Everett Whitney
The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened
the public hearing re appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map
S-3-81, by Everett Whitney.
The following documents are on file in the office of the
City Clerk :
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
• The City Clerk advised that no written protests have
been received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated May 15 , 1981 . He stated
that the Planning Commission unanimously granted the
Q, applicant permission to create 38 lots on property
1® located southwest of Lake Boulevard Subdivision. The
developer' s engineer has appealed condition No. 26 ,
which required dedication of the area at the southeast
portion of the property. A map of the area was shown
on the Vu Graph and Mr. Perry noted that the EIR
concerning the project was previously submitted.
Mr. Perry stated that condition No. 26 was required based
. on the master plan submitted by the applicant, mitigation
measures in the EIR, difficulty of access to the area,
cost of maintenance to the public of a long road for a few
lots , fire hazard, erosion control, and the relationship
of the area to previous open space dedication. Since
several of the lots initially applied for extended into
. this area, it was the opinion of both the Commission and
staff that this phase of the project is a logical time for
this dedication.
Mr. Perry advised that the 38-acre subdivision is part of
a 139-acre parcel that lies on both sides of the creek in
Sulphur Creek Canyon. The subject property lies below the
ridge on which Lake Boulevard Subdivision and the first
unit of Golden Heights Subdivision has been developed.
Slopes range from moderate to severe.
The General Plan was amended for the property in 1971 and
increased the permitted density from 46 units to 184
units. The amendment was the subject of EIR-5-79 . Major
issues addressed in the EIR were density, water quality,
traffic through Lake Boulevard Subdivision, growth induce-
ment, and development in steep slope and flood plain
areas. Mr. Perry advised that both the Bella Vista Water
District and the Department of Fish and Game were very
concerned with the impact of development along Sulphur
Creek upon wildlife values and water quality. The intent
of the General Plan was to cluster development to
preserve open space and to create a riparian corridor `
along Sulphur Creek. 1
The applicant was asked to submit a master plan for the
property for the purpose of evaluating street patterns,
the relationship of lots to topography, the implementation
of mitigation measures identified in the final EIR, and to
5/18/81
175
assure conformance with the General Plan. The master plan
illustrates the maximum number of lots that can be devel-
oped on the property north of Sulphur Creek.
Mr. Perry advised that the area proposed to be
dedicated has a potential for 14 dwelling units based
on usable area; these units have been transferred to
the total units allowed for the project.
In order for the Commission to approve the subdivision, it
had to find that changes or alterations have been required
in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or
avoid the significant environmental effects thereof as
identified in the final EIR and that the subdivision
conforms to the General Plan.
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be
denied for the reasons outlined above and that the action
of the Planning Commission be upheld.
Everett Whitney, 933 Golden Heights Court, stated that in
1966 , he purchased this 185 acres of property and down-
zoned 10 . 3 acres near the entrance of the property because
he felt it was .the most aesthetic use of the land. He
said that of this 38-acre subdivision, staff is asking
that he dedicate approximately 17 acres of land for
park purposes. He explained that the 17 acres in
question is hillside property not suitable for park use
and would be of no use to the citizens of Redding.
Mr. Bob Rehberg, attorney representing Mr. Whitney,
questioned the requirement that a 17 acre piece of land be
dedicated to the City for park purposes. He stated that
the use of the land is unclear. He stated that the
Subdivision Map Act states that in a subdivision of less
than 50 units , dedication of park land cannot be required
but rather, in-lieu park fees would be required. He
stated that the amount and location of the park land is
totally out of proportion to the project. He stated that
open space areas are required in addition to the 17 acre
piece and felt that the conditions of said dedication are
uncertain. •
Mr. Rehberg summarized the position of the developer as
follows : 1) The 17 acre dedication cannot be supported
by ratio of need and urges Council to delete this condi-
tion, and 2) The uncertainty of the open space dedication.
Mr. Rehberg stated that from his standpoint, he feels said
dedication is a violation of the Redding Municipal Code
and the Subdivision Map Act.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Kirkpatrick,
Mr. Perry advised that the first master plan was submitted
by the applicant two or three years ago, before the EIR
process . The second plan, he advised, was submitted
around the end of last year.
Brent Owen, 1867 Victoria Avenue, stated he has developed
an adjacent subdivision in this area. He feels that Mr.
Whitney has a legitimate, well-laid out subdivision but
expressed concern that the knoll under Oleta Drive not be
developed. Mr. Owen feels it is the intention of the
General Plan that gullies and ravines be retained for
riding and hiking trails and that the green areas should
be preserved. He feels that the Subdivision Map Act
supports the denial of this appeal.
5/18/81

Chuck Zink, 3255 Panorama Drive , stated he paid a high
price for his property because of the view below him. He
objected to the map sent with the Notice of Public Hearing
as it did not delineate surrounding streets. Mr. Zink
objected to the additional traffic generated by this
subdivision and questioned the availability of fire
protection.
Dean Nelson, 650 Oleta Drive, agreed with Mr. Zink that
the maps are not good and stated he would like more
details about what is being developed on property below
them.
Mr. Rehberg returned to the podium and stated that, while
he can understand the concerns of the property owners
above, Mr. Whitney' s property is private property. He
stated the appeal deals with the use of the dedicated 17
acre parcel and noted that it is a financial and property
right problem for Mr. Whitney.
Mr. Zink returned to the podium and stated there is no way
to handle the traffic other than to come through the
subdivision in which he lives.
Howard Schlemmer, stated he recently moved into the
Panorama Subdivision and agrees with Mr. Zink. He likes
the surrounding area and would like to keep it as it is.
Mr. Owen asked that Mayor Pugh ask for a show of hands of
those present who oppose the subdivision.
Mayor Pugh advised that the subdivision is not in question
this evening but rather the appeal of the requirement to
dedicate land for open space. He advised that the sub-
division has been approved by the Planning Commission.
•
Kip Lee, 1797 Kenyon Drive, encouraged everyone who wished
to address Council , to do so.
Bill Smith, 3355 Panorama Drive, stated he enjoys the
green belt and would like to see it maintained as a
greenbelt as much as possible for the aesthetic quality it
offers.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council-
man Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The
Vote : Unanimous Ayes
In response to an inquiry from Mrs. Gard, Mr. Perry
advised that if this property is not dedicated to the City
but is sold, and a request comes back for 14 additional
units on the property, this would take a general plan
amendment, unless the 14 units were deducted from
Mr. Whitney' s plan. Mr. Perry clarified that condition
No. 26 states that the area in question is to be dedicated
for open space, flood plain and trail purposes. This is
not a dedication for parks. He further noted that the
other open space discussed by Mr. Rehberg would be open
space easements and are a standard requirement.
In response to an inquiry from Mr. Demsher, City Attorney
Hays advised that because of the incremental increases of
the subdivision, it would be considered 50 units or more
and noted that open space and park land dedication are two
different things .
5/18/81
177
Mrs. Gard feels that the City has consistently required
this type of open space dedication. Councilman Demsher
concurred with Mrs . Gard and does not feel there is
anything unusual about this requirement.
Councilman Fulton noted that the City does not usually ask
for land that can be used for other purposes. Mrs . Gard
noted that this is an isolated area and that the density
credits were transferred and therefore the developer did
not lose any units.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Demsher denying the appeal of Everett Whitney
that condition No. 26 , re Tentative Subdivision Map
S-3-81 , be deleted, and that the Planning Commission
action be upheld. The Vote : Unanimous Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-5-81
by Fred Marty and Don Howard
Mayor Pugh abstained from voting and discussion on this item.
The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened
the public hearing re the appeal of Tentative Subdivision
Map S-5-81 by Fred Marty and Don Howard.
The following documents are on file in the office of the
City Clerk.
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated May 15 , 1981. He stated
that the Planning Commission unanimously approved the
subdivision of 155 acres located along Quartz Hill Road
into 141 lots. A map of the area was shown on the Vu
Graph and Council was given a list of the conditions of •
approval. Previously submitted was EIR-5-79 concerning
the project.
Mr. Perry advised that subsequent to the Commission' s
action, the applicant appealed the location of four of
the lots on the property. As proposed, 141 lots would
be created on the 155 acres , with the gross density
being . 9 units per acre. The net density based on
usable area is 2 . 86 units per acre. He stated that
some interpretation was made by both the Planning
Commission and staff on the maximum density since the
more detailed topographic maps now available illustrate
more usable area on the site than was previously
thought to exist. This is primarily near Sulphur
Creek. This interpretation resulted in a gain of about
twenty-one lots to the developer.
Primary access to the property would be from Quartz Hill
Road. Secondary access would be fron a future crossing of
Sulphur Creek. Adjacent to the property, Quartz Hill Road
would be widened. Mr. Perry advised that unlike Lake •
Redding Estates, the Commission did not require sidewalks
on Quartz Hill Road, rather they felt a special benefit
5/18/81
178
district should be formed for all property tributary to
Quartz Hill Road to participate in sidewalk construction
and traffic signals.
In their appeal , the developers are asking that two lots
each be allowed in Areas 1 and 3 marked on the map which
is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. In
Area 1, the applicants propose to create two lots with
access via a gravel road running along Sulphur Creek from
the vicinity of Lot No. 81. In Area 3, the applicant
wishes to create another two lots with access via a
graveled road along Sulphur Creek from the vicinity of Lot
No. 88 . It should be noted, that the tentative map
originally submitted did not show lots in the two areas.
They were requested later during the review process .
Mr. Perry stated that in reviewing the requests , it is the
opinion of both the Planning Commission and staff that the
development of lots in Areas 1 and 3 deviates too far from
the intent of the General Plan Amendment and the
mitigation measures of the EIR which were to cluster
development, to preserve open space and to create a
riparian corridor along Sulphur Creek. The applicant has
not lost units as a product of the relocation of these
areas. In fact, by interpretation they gained additional
lots. Graveled roads along Sulphur Creek would create
additional sedimentation in the creek and dust which would
be to the detriment of the lots behind which the roads
would be located. Mr. Perry reviewed several other
conditions which Council should consider if it approved
these lots.
Mr. Perry explained that although the applicants stated to
the Commission that they would be willing to provide paved
access to the lots , it was the opinion of the Commission
that roads along the creek were inconsistent with the
intent of the General Plan for the area. He stated that
access to area 3 could be developed from the north,
however, the applicant chose to subdivide this area ahead
of development of the other property and provision of
alternate access.
In approving the tentative map, the Commission had to find
that the subdivision conformed to the General Plan and
that changes or alterations have been required in, or
incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the
significant environmental effects thereof as identified in
the final EIR. It is the opinion of staff that the
Commission could not have made the finding for the four
lots based upon their proposed access.
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be
denied and the action of the Commission be upheld.
Mr. Perry also noted that a letter was submitted to
Council preceding this meeting from James Fisher,
attorney for the developers, outlining the areas of
concern and listing some proposed solutions.
James Fisher, 1347 Walnut, stated that in regard to the
open space concept, the dedications proposed consist of 63
acres, not including the four lots. As far as "cluster
development" is concerned, Mr. Fisher feels that the
impact would be less as proposed by the developers than
5/18/81
179
the smaller lots in the majority of the project. In
regard to the riparian corridor, Mr. Fisher felt it will •
remain intact. The concern expressed by staff of the
garbage pickup problem, he felt was very insignificant and
could be resolved. He estimated that the developers would
lose approximately $360 ,000 in dedicated open space and
11 felt there are other solutions. Mr. Fisher stated that
the developers are willing to work with staff to relocate
the road to accommodate the two lots to the south. In
regard to the two northern lots , he suggested that they be
approved on the provision that they gain access from the
north.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote :
Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Pugh abstaining
Mr. Perry advised that access from the north was not
considered by the Planning Commission. In response to an
inquiry from Mrs. Gard, City Attorney Hays advised that
if this matter is referred back to the Planning
Commission, the basic issue of the appeal must be
addressed and not the access from the north.
She then asked if any conditions previously discussed by
the Planning Commission may be imposed by Council , and Mr.
Hays advised that they may.
Councilman Kirkpatrick felt that Council was in agreement
that the appeal concerning the southerly lots (Area 1)
•
should be denied.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick , seconded by
Councilwoman Gard denying the appeal concerning the
southerly lots in Area 1, and that the action of the
Planning Commission be upheld. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
with Mayor Pugh abstaining
Councilwoman Gard stated she does not agree with the
Planning Commissions action not to require sidewalks on
Quartz Hill Road as this is inconsistent with the require-
ments of other developers in this area and felt that the
developers should contribute to the cost of a traffic
signal on Quartz Hill Road.
Mr. Perry advised that the Commission felt that sidewalks
should be required on the streets within the subdivision
with a benefit district to be formed for the sidewalks on
Quartz Hill Road.
Councilman Kirkpatrick said that if the appeal concerning
Area 3 is referred to the Planning Commission for their
consideration of access from the north, Council should
also recommend reconsideration of the requirement for
sidewalks and donation to a traffic signal on Quartz Hill
Road.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick that the appeal concerning Area 3 be referred
back to the Planning Commission for consideration of
access from the north, and the imposition of requirements
for sidewalks, curb and gutters along Quartz Hill Road,
and that the developers be required to pay a pro rata
share of traffic signals on Quartz Hill Road. The Vote :
Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Pugh abstaining

PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Use Permit UP-15-81, by David
C. Burt
The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened
the public hearing re appeal of Use Permit UP-15-81, by
David C. Burt.
The following documents are on file in the office of the11
City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
�' received.
' Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated May 14 , 1981. He stated
that the Planning Commission unanimously granted Robert
Ford permission to operate a lube and oil change operation
within an enclosed building on property located at 2945
Churn Creek Road. Subsequent to that meeting, Mr. Burt,
the new operator of the business, appealed the action of
the Planning Commission. A map of the area was shown on
the Vu Graph. The draft negative declaration and letter
of appeal were submitted to Council .
Mr. Perry advised that issues raised by the Planning
Commission were compatibility, precedent-setting effect,
appearance, and loss of parking. With respect to compat-
ibility with the land-use designation, it was the opinion
of both the Commission and staff that the proposed port-
able rack is incompatible. He advised that uses within
the "C-1" and "C-2" zones are generally required to be
entirely within a building. The type of use proposed
by the applicant would normally be allowed outdoors only
in "C-3" areas. Mr. Perry noted that a similar operation
was recently established on Locust Street across from
Ward' s; however, it is located entirely within a building.
Mr. Perry said the Commission was also concerned with the
precedent-setting effect of an outside use as this would
be a significant change from past policies and could open
the door to similar uses such as brake repair, produce
sales, pottery sales , art sales, etc . , in other areas .
From an appearance standpoint, the rack would be directly
visible from and adjacent to Hartnell Avenue and the
Commission felt that this type of use should be located
entirely within a building.
Mr. Perry advised that without changing the layout of the
parking lot, the existing center would be 16 spaces below
Code requirements with the rack. If the property owner
were so inclined, the lot could be changed to perpen-
dicular parking to accommodate this type of operation and
a lube facility such as the one on Locust Street could be
developed.
In reviewing the appeal, it is the opinion of staff that
the issue is between the applicant to whom the permit was
issued and the new operator. Both the applicant and the
property owner accepted the permit as approved by the
Commission.
5/18/81
181
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be
denied and the action of the Planning Commission be
upheld.
Mr. David Burt stated this is an appeal to alleviate as
much overhead expense as possible so that he may remain in
business and provide a reasonably priced service to the
community. He said he could be considered an accessory
use to the shopping center. He noted that the picture
given to Council was of a temporary structure and not
the one he intends to use permanently. In regard to
the parking, he stated there are several cars parked in
the lot with "For Sale" signs on them, and if these
were removed, parking would be adequate. He asked that
if Council could not approve his business as it is , to
give him some time to provide the City requirements.
Mike Braden, representing the property owner, stated they
plan to meet all the conditions placed on them by the
Planning Commission.
Howard Taylor, 530 Loma Vista, stated that his business
has been required to meet City standards and feels that
the restrictions and requirements placed on other
businesses should be imposed on all .
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Pugh, Mr. Burt stated
he was not able to supply the Planning Commission with
pictures of his permanent structure as the structure was
out of town.
Mr. Perry noted that Mr. Burt did not let his position be
known regarding a permanent structure until after the •
appeal had been made.
City Attorney Hays advised that the structure must comply
with the conditions of the Use Permit.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council-
woman Gard that the public hearing be closed. The Vote :
Unanimous Ayes
Mr. Perry advised that he has seen the structure referred
to by Mr. Burt and that it is basically the same as the
one in use now, with no solid sides.
Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that although he is sympa-
thetic with Mr. Burt' s situation, the standards and
requirements of the Planning Commission should be upheld.
Mrs. Gard asked about the possibility of placing the rack
on "C-3" property and Mr. Perry advised that even so, he
would be required to have some screening and a Use Permit.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick that the appeal of Use Permit UP-15-81, by
David C. Burt, be denied and the action of the Planning
Commission be upheld.

Planning Commission Recommendation dated 5/14/81
5 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
received and the Mayor ascertained that there were no
protests from the floor.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated May 14 , 1981. He stated
that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended
amendment of the Redding General Plan for 160 acres
located south of Caterpillar Road, west of Highway 273,
and north of Lake Boulevard. A map of the area was shown
on the Vu Graph and a draft negative declaration was
submitted to Council.
Mr. Perry advised that the present General Plan classifi-
cation is Industrial in the northwest corner, Residential ,
3. 5 units per acre in the southwest corner, and Greenway.
As requested, the property would be classified as Resi-
dential , 3.5 units per acre, Residential , 6 . 0 units per
acre and Greenway. A total of 690 units are proposed on
160 acres for an average density of 4 . 3 units per acre.
Of the 690 units , 269 have already been developed and
another 205 have been approved for development.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and
staff that the General Plan be amended as requested. It
is the opinion of staff that the densities requested are a
reasonable use of this property; the present General Plan
would only allow twenty units on the property.
It is further recommended that, under the City Attorney' s
portion of this agenda, a resolution be adopted approving
GPA-2-81.

Planning Commission Recommendation dated 5/14/81
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated May 14 , 1981. He stated
that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended
abandonment of portions of Mary Street; between Overhill
Drive and the Southern Pacific spur track in exchange for
a pedestrian easement and street improvements on Mary
Street. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and a
draft negative declaration was submitted to Council.
Mr. Perry advised that this section of Mary Street is an
80-foot wide paper street. He said a storm drain pipe
releases water into the right of way and has created a
small washout below the outlet. The lower portion of the
right of way is used for pedestrian access. Concerns
expressed to the Planning Commission were preservation of
pedestrian access to the Sacramento River and loss of a
vista overlooking the Sacramento River.
As recommended, property would revert to property owners
on the west and east of the abandonment, while a 115
square foot easement would be obtained by the City for
pedestrian access. In reserving the center portion of
the right of way, it was the intent of the Commission
to reserve the possibility of pedestrian access to the •
river and to retain a view. In the future , Mr. Perry
advised, it will be necessary to construct a storm
drain through the area.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and
staff that the abandonment be approved in accordance with
the map submitted to Council which is hereby made a part
of these minutes by reference, in exchange for the ped-
estrian easement and street improvements on Mary Street.
It is further recommended that the City Attorney be
instructed to prepare a resolution for abandonment and
ratification of the negative declaration after receipt of
a deferred improvement agreement and a deed for the
pedestrian easement.
Mrs. Vi Kiaseen, 595 Mary Street, stated that even though
this plan preserves access to the vistas , it allows
increased density on the property and interferes with the
views of the river.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Demsher that the public hearing be closed. The
Vote : Unanimous Ayes
Councilwoman Gard expressed concern regarding the increase
in the number of units that could be built on the
properties.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Demsher,
Mr. Perry advised that approximately 50% of the proposed
abandonment is fairly level.
5/18/81

Councilman Fulton noted that adjacent property owners who
will receive this abandoned property have much to be
gained.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by

Planning Commission Recommendation dated 5/14/81
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
received and the Mayor ascertained that there were no
protests from the floor.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated May 14 , 1981. He stated
that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended
abandonment of a portion of Lichen Avenue located south of
Hawn Avenue. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph
and a draft negative declaration was submitted to Council .
Mr. Perry advised that commercial development on
Hartnell Avenue and the proximity of the street to
Shasta View Drive have eliminated the need to reserve
this extension for future residential development
between Hawn Avenue and Hartnell. If abandoned, Parcel
1 would revert to the property owner on the east,
Parcel 2 would revert to the property owner to the
west, and Parcel 3 would revert to both property
owners.
Mr. Perry advised that the City initiated the abandonment
proceedings for the entire street, since there was no
public need for the right of way. After initiation of the
proceedings , the owners of the two lots on Hawn Avenue
affected by the abandonment, Mr. Bult and Mr. Ramsey,
submitted letters objecting to the abandonment. Their
main objections were taking responsibility for and paying
taxes on a piece of property they don' t want or need.
Since then, both owners have agreed to the abandonment of
Parcel 3 and that they intend to quitclaim their interest
to the property owner to the south.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and
staff that Council approve the abandonment of Parcel 3 as
• outlined above and that a resolution be adopted abandoning
the right of way and ratifying the negative declaration.

Resolution
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Demsher that Resolution No. 81-88 be adopted, a resolution
of the City Council of the City of Redding ordering the
vacation and abandonment of a portion of Lichen Avenue
south of Hawn Avenue (A-2-81) .
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Fulton, Gard,
Kirkpatrick, and Pugh
Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - None
Resolution No. 81-88 is on file in the office of the City
Clerk.
At this time , Mayor Pugh asked that two agenda items be con-
sidered out of order--the report re County General Plan Amend-
ment and the report re method of establishing rates for Cable
TV.
COUNTY GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT - GPA-2-81 , Murray Farms •
Mayor Pugh abstained from voting and discussion on this item.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his
memorandum to Council dated May 18 , 1981. He stated that a
notice of general plan amendment had been received from Shasta
County and Council was given a copy. Mr. Perry advised that
initially staff had not planned to comment on the proposed
amendment since it had commented previously; however, the form
notes that if no response is received, it will be assumed that
the City approves the project. Due to this and the previous
controversy concerning the project, staff felt that the matter
should be referred to Council for consideration.
Mr. Perry advised that the comments the Planning Department
previously submitted generally addressed the following issues :
1) Density, 2) Relationship to Airport, 3) Spot General Plan 411
Amendment, 4) Sewage Disposal, and 5) Timing.
Mr. Perry explained that while staff feels that these issues
are still valid, it is felt that many of the concerns can be
resolved through the joint general plan amendment now in
progress. This joint plan amendment was initiated by the
County and now it appears that a portion of the agreed upon
plan area is to be precommitted by this application. Mr.
Perry stated that staff is also concerned with the fact that
pursuant to an agreement adopted between the Board of
Supervisors and the City Council in 1977, several General
Plan amendments prepared by the City are not being processed
by the County.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council need not take
either a pro or con position on the specific general plan
amendment. Rather, it is staff' s opinion that the amendment
should be done as part of the Municipal Airport Plan which will
provide a better basis for decision making in this area.
Councilwoman Gard expressed concern regarding the apparent
problems in the County planning processes. She noted that the
City and County should work together to protect the Airport as
a primary concern.
5/18/81
186
Councilman Demsher said the Airport serves three or four
counties in this area and it is in the interest of all to
preserve it.
Councilman Kirkpatrick agreed with Mr. Perry that the City
should not pre-empt the planning efforts now going on.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick requesting that the County make no decision on
General Plan Application GPA-2-81 , Murray Farms , until the
joint planning effort for the Municipal Airport Plan is
completed. The Vote : Unanimous Ayes with Mayor Pugh
abstaining
ESTABLISHMENT OF RATES FOR CABLE TV
City Attorney Hays reviewed his memorandum to Council dated May
13 , 1981, in response to a letter from Viacom Cablevision dated
April 13 , 1981. He stated that under Chapter 6 . 40 , the City of
Redding is authorized to issue franchises on a non-exclusive
basis to construct, operate and maintain a CATV system.
Currently that system is being operated by Viacom Cablevision.
The rates now established for Viacom are approved by Council
after reviewing a submittal indicating that a particular rate
is needed to return a profit by the franchise holder.
An additional communication dated May 13 , 1981 from Viacom, was
also submitted to Council.
Mr. Hays advised that Viacom has proposed that this method of
establishing rates be abandoned in favor of a rate adjustment
formula, which will allow them to increase their rates on an
annual basis, without Council approval , by ten percent per year
or by the amount of increase of the Consumer Price Index from
the San Francisco-Oakland area for the preceding twelve months,
whichever is less. Viacom also proposed other methods of
establishing rates.
The recently passed AB 699 was briefly discussed which would
take rate-setting out of the hands of City Government.
Councilman Kirkpatrick felt that not enough information is
available to make a decision at this time and suggested that
the matter be referred back to staff.
Councilwoman Gard asked how AB 699 would be implemented, but
this information was not yet known. She also suggested the
matter be referred back to staff.
Mayor Pugh suggested that in addition to the proposals sug-
gested by Viacom that Council also consider making no change in
the established procedure or, total deregulation by the City.
Gerald Brown, 5797 Eastside Road, from Viacom Cablevision,
stated this it is very complicated to bring a rate increase
application before City Governments. He stated that under
AB 699, they would be required to provide 20 channels of
service , and he questioned the quality of reception, and
whether the community and the industry are ready for this .
He stated he has not heard of any abuses of deregulation and
suggested possibly a partial deregulation could be con-
sidered. He noted that under AB 699 , they would have
problems.
With the concurrence of Council, this matter was referred to
staff for further information, to be brought back to Council at
5/18/81
187
its next regular meeting and Council Members Kirkpatrick and
Fulton were appointed by the Mayor to work with staff on this
matter.
