Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his III t memorandum to Council dated January 28, 1982. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended abandonment of 33 feet of street right of way on Twin View Boulevard adjacent to 829 Twin View Boulevard. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry advised that the land lies within the right of way of the former State Highway. The existing right of way is 150 feet in width at this point. As proposed, 33 feet would be abandoned adjacent to this property and as other abandonments occur along Twin View Boule- vard, the street will ultimately be reduced to 84 feet in width. Mr. Perry stated that if abandoned, the right of way would revert entirely to the adjoining property owner. The remaining portion of the right of way in front of the property has not been recommended for abandonment for two reasons: 1 . It would revert to an estate. 2. It is needed for access to properties to the south due to the grade difference between those properties and Twin View Blvd. It is the opinion of the Commission and staff that right of way is not needed for street purposes. The Commission further recommended that in exchange for the abandonment, a 15 foot wide electric easement be retained and that the owners enter into a deferred improvement agree- ment to construct curb, gutter and sidewalk along the property frontage of Twin View Boulevard at the time of additional development on the property. i If Council concurs , it is recommended that the City Attorney be asked to prepare a resolution for abandonment and ratification of the nega- tive declaration after receipt of a deferred improvement agreement.

The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Vice Mayor Demsher opened the I public hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-9-81 , by City of Redding. /t/i'1 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 Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated January 28, 1982. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended rezoning the area generally bounded by O 2/1/82 1 26 L t. 'r i. P X- t Sonoma Street on the north; Railroad Avenue on the east; Grandview r Avenue on the south and West Street on the west. The proposal also includes property abutting the terminus of both starlight Boulevard and Summit Drive. The proposal is to rezone these properties from R-1 1. Single Family Residential , R-2 Duplex Residential , R-3 Multiple Family 1 Residential , R-4 Multiple Family Residential , C-0 Office District, C-1 Neighborhood Commercial , and C-3 Heavy Commercial and Light Industrial to R-1 Single Family Residential , RM-6, RM-9, R3-40-F, R4-25-F, and III F R4-40-F, Multiple Family Residential , C-0 Office District, C-1 F Neighborhood Commercial and C-3 Heavy Commercial and Light Industrial . A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry advised that the rezoning was initiated by staff to bring the zoning for the area into conformance with the General Plan. It is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and staff that the negative declaration be ratified and an ordinance be offered for first reading to rezone the property as outlined. Mr. Richard Mason, representing Dale Bowerman, property owner on Roanoke, opposed the rezoning. He stated the three 50 foot lots owned by Mr. Bowerman are now for sale and are presently zoned R-3-15. He feels that with the rezoning Mr. Bowerman may lose about 50% of the present value of the property. Mr. Perry noted that the rezoning was initiated several years ago in response to requests from the severely impacted neighborhood. He further noted that the City has spent a considerable amount of money installing improvements in the area and the streets are not designed to handle high density development. He added that RM-9 is very compatible in the area discussed by Mr. Mason; much more compatible than the present R-3-15 zoning.

REQUEST FOR STORM DRAIN CREDITS - Bonnyview Meadows East Subdivision City Attorney Hays reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 27, 1982, supplementing the memorandum from the Director of Planning and Com- munity Development, dated December 15, 1981 , both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Hays stated his memo also responds to some of the statements made by Mr. Rehberg, on behalf of his client, in his letter dated January 18, 1982, requesting reimbursement for future storm drain fees. Mr. Hays concluded that the approval of the subdivision preceded the sections Mr. Rehberg cited as authority for Council to act upon at this time. It is also the opinion of the City Attorney that one can only consider a credit at such time as all the subdivision improvements are in, since only at that time would the City know the total cost of all the physical improvements to be built by the subdivider in a proposed sub- division. It is the recommendation of the City Attorney that the request made on behalf of the Bonnyview Meadows East Subdivision be denied at this time. Council Member Gard suggested that a provision should be added to the Code allowing the City to be credited for its costs. 1 Councilman Kirkpatrick agreed with the recommendation that no reimbursements should be made at this time. Robert Rehberg, 429 Redcliff Drive, Suite 220, explained that only about 42% of the benefits of the dike built by the subdivider will be received by i the Bonnyview Meadows East Subdivision, while 58% will be received by the outlying areas. He requests that either the City undertake some type of assessment proceedings to reimburse the subdivider or grant credits against 1111 fees to offset amounts subject to reimbursement. ' In response to an inquiry from Councilman Kirkpatrick, Mr. Rehberg said his 7 client was aware at the time the subdivision was applied for, that the dike would benefit other areas. Paul Jones, engineer for the project, stated that according to the ordinance, you must know what the costs are before a credit can be received; however, the dike had to be built even though only 40 lots were developed. He added that the requested credits are based on estimated costs of developing the remaining lots. 2/1/82 28 l s Mrs. Gard noted that almost the entire subdivision was undevelopable without the dike. t. 3Mr. Demsher felt that if credits were to be allowed, this should have been /d 0 determined at the outset. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilwoman Gard denying the request made on behalf of the Bonnyview Meadows East Subdivision for improvement credits. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ORDINANCE - Approving M-S-R Power Sales Agreement City Attorney Hays advised that the subject ordinance is designed to demon- strate the approval of the City of Redding with regard to the M-S-R Power Sales Agreement. He explained that the agreement is one in which the City agrees to buy power from M-S-R from the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. Mr. Hays said the intent behind the agreement is to use the IL9CP document as the security for the issuance of the bonds which has been previously approved by Council , but still remains the subject of the elec- tion in April . He added that the ordinance contains a section which declares it to be null and void should the previous bond ordinance approval be overturned in the April election. Councilman Kirkpatrick offered Ordinance No. 1575 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and authorizing the execution of a power sales agreement with M-S-R Public Power Agency. BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR Vi Klaseen, 595 Mary Street, asked if the City could do anything about the extremely high air fares to San Francisco charged by Republic Airlines. Mr. Brickwood advised that he is scheduled to meet with representatives from Republic Airlines to try to encourage them to decrease rates, but } 11 added that the City has no control over air fares. He stated that many airlines are in serious financial trouble and are not making enough money to stay in operation. Vice Mayor Demsher noted that minimum essential service for Redding is 100 seats daily and that airlines may cancel their service without notice.
