Request for Extension of Sewer Service Area - re Area Near Keswick
Lake '
Mr. Robert Rehberg, Attorney representing Mr. Tony Labella, requested
reconsideration of an earlier request for extension of the sewer
service area to an area near Keswick Lake. He stated in his letter
that this request for reconsideration is based on the fact that the '
City has abandoned its policy of keeping the sewer service boundary
III intact, and recent annexations to the east of the property in question
have brought this land closer to the City's sphere of influence. He
also stated that the County Board of Supervisors has urged the City to 4
consider his proposal . 1
Council Members and staff concurred that the City' s policy has not i
changed and the sewer service boundary has not been abandoned.
a
Council Member Demsher said the reasons cited in Mr. Rehberg' s letter
are not sufficient to reconsider the request. He added that this was a/i
discussed at length before the Growth Management Committee and City
Council .

testify before the Growth Management Committee on two occasions about 1

1
Mr. Perry advised that the ordinance provides greater flexibility for
agricultural pursuits than is presently afforded and, when combined
with the "B" combining district, the ordinance can require parcels up 4
to five acres or greater in area. It also establishes density
criteria for the keeping of various animals. The district would be
used in combination with the R-1 Single Family Residential District.
He added that the ordinance also broadens R-1 District standards for
home occupations and accessory structures in relation to the farming
activities that can occur.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the
negative declaration be ratified and the ordinance be offered for
first reading.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Pugh, Mr. Perry explained that
the provisions of the ordinance would be area-wide and not lot by lot.
Mr. Perry noted that staff has tried to obtain some consistency with
County regulations, for properties annexing to the City.

Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received.
iPlanning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
1 randum to Council dated February 23, 1982. He stated that the Plan-
ning Commission has recommended amendment of the City Code regarding
the installation of satellite-television antennas in excess of four
feet in diameter. He explained that the purpose of the amendment is
to clarify the Municipal Code. At present, a satellite antenna is
considered an accessory structure. Under the amendment, the antenna
would be recognized as a distinctive use.
Mr. Perry indicated that the draft ordinance addresses the antennas
both as viewed from the street and between lots. The smaller the
parcel , the more restrictive the ordinance becomes. The larger the
parcel , the more flexibility a property has to locate an antenna.
It is the recommendation of both the Commission and staff that the
negative declaration be ratified and an ordinance be offered for first
reading.
Mr. David Johnson, representing Paradigm Manufacturing, a manufacturer
r of satellite antennas , was opposed to the ordinance and felt it will
severely limit the placement of the antennas. He also noted that some
people will want to place antennas on their roofs but the proposed
}
ordinance does not allow this due to height limitations.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Fulton that
the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Mayor
Pugh abstaining
Vice Mayor Demsher stated that these antennas are unappealing to some
ipeople and noted that the Planning Department has probably received
some calls about where they are being placed.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Fulton, Mr. Johnson advised
that he was present during the public hearings of the Planning
Commission.
Mrs. Gard said that most of the City' s zoning ordinances and controls
on private property are intended to protect the rights, health, and
safety of property owners.
In response to an inquiry from Vice Mayor Demsher, Mr. Perry advised
that staff did research several other communities' zoning regulations,
t but most did not address the satellite antennas specifically. He said
that they have tried not to be overly restrictive and further noted
1- that the variance procedure is available if there is a specific
1 problem.
t
z MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Fulton that
Council makes the following findings re amendment to Sections 16.24
and 18.56 of the Municipal Code pertaining to satellite-television
antennas:
1 1 . Project is compatible with the Redding General
Plan.
2. Project will not significantly alter existing land
F form.

[ 4. Project is compatible with the Code of the City of
