He stated that at the conclusion of a public hearing on April 5 , 1982, the City Council upheld an appeal and referred the tentative map back to the Planning Commission for report and recommendation. He noted that Council asked the developer to submit a revised map to the Planning Commission, with the knoll remaining undeveloped. bct Mr. Perry explained that at their meeting of June 8, 1982, the Planning � Commission recommended that the map be approved as originally approved by the Commission and took no action on the amended map. The Commission felt that the original map was consistent with past City actions and require- • ments. The Planning and Community Development Director advised that, subsequent to writing the staff report, the developer has filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate against the City of Redding et al . with the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Shasta. It is the recommendation of staff that Council either set a public hearing to reconsider the map or approve a revised map subject to the dedication of the area south of lot 63 and the deletion of Condition No. 27. Councilman Pugh felt that due to the additional material received and the fact that two Council Members are absent, it may be more appropriate to set a public hearing to consider the matter by a full Council . The City Attorney concurred. 7/6/82 171 Council and staff discussed the time constraints for appeals of tentative maps. Councilman Pugh asked Mr. Fisher, attorney for the developer, if they would agree to holding a public hearing on August 2, 1982. Mr. Fisher indicated that they will waive all time lines and that an August 2 hearing date would be agreeable. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton that a public hearing be set for 7:30 P.M. , August 2, 1982, to consider Tentative Subdivision Map S-22-81 , by William Huggit. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 4 TRANSPORTATION OF NUCLEAR WASTE MATERIAL Susan Waugh having arrived, Mayor Gard asked her if she wished to address 1 the Council regarding the transportation of radioactive material and fissile III material through Shasta County. Ms. Waugh indicated that the California Highway Patrol is soliciting comments on proposed changes in regulations governing the transportation of radioactive material and fissile III material . She indicated that two of the proposed transportation routes are Interstate 5 through Shasta County and Highway 299 between Redding and Arcata. Ms. Waugh explained her concerns regarding the highly hazardous nature of the materials and the 3I proposal to transport the material over roads which do not meet safety standards. She requested that Council send a representative to the 4 California Highway Patrol 's public hearing on the matter to be held in Sacramento on July 26, 1982. Ms. Waugh noted that written comments will also be received by the C.H.P. by that date. Concerns were also expressed regarding the City' s plan of action in case of such an accident within the City. Councilman Fulton asked if this group has an alternative for transporting radioactive materials. Mr. Bob Traush, 2052 Placer, stated that proposals have been made in some areas that would require these materials to be transported only by barge. 1 He said they do not see Highway 299 as an alternative. Mayor Gard indicated that she would be interested in knowing what emergency preparations the City has for this kind of accident. She also said she would be interested in having a C.H.P. hearing here in Shasta County. With the concurrence of Council , the matter was referred to staff.

L 11-1 The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: t Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated July 1 , 1982 ! The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor. r i 1 P 7/6/82 173 Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated July 1 , 1982. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended approval of the draft Enterprise Area Plan. A map of the area was posted on the wall . Mr. Perry said the purpose of the draft Enterprise Area Plan is to establish land use and street patterns in the Enterprise Area for the next 20 years. Adoption of the Plan will amend the Land Use, Circulation, and Open Space and Conservation Elements of the Redding General Plan. The Churn Creek Bottom area south of Churn Creek Road and areas within the Redding Municipal Airport Specific Plan Area have been deleted from the Enterprise Area Plan. Mr. Perry outlined the categories as recommended by the Commission, including residential , commercial , and public/institutional . n It is the recommendation of staff that the negative declaration be ? ratified and the recommendation of the Planning Commission be approved. Mr. Perry indicated that a resolution has been prepared to 5 be considered in conjunction with other general plan amendments, later on the agenda. 4 Mr. Perry stated that two subsequent requests for changes have been received and it is recommended that they not be approved based on the reasons outlined in the letters to each of the individuals. ro Mr. Eugene Pickett, 4860 Sunnyhill Way, said he is speaking on behalf of himself and his neighbors regarding the zoning south of South Bonnyview Road. He feels that Office Commercial would be more appro- priate for the area than the recommended Highway Commercial . He said they wish to maintain the rural nature of their neighborhood and would oppose the additional impact on the streets that a heavier commercial use would cause. Barbara Daniel , Sunnyhill Way, expressed her concern for the Highway Commercial designation south of South Bonnyview Road. She feels the Office Commercial would be more compatible with the existing develop- ment. Ms. Daniel felt that the commercial traffic would be exiting on Sunnyhill Lane. She suggested that the heavier commercial uses would be more appropriate across the freeway. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Gard, Mr. Perry replied that the Highway Commercial zone would allow such uses as restaurants , motels, gas stations, fast food establishments--businesses which would cater to the travelling public. He advised that the only one of these uses which would be allowed in the Office Commercial zone would be restaurants. Mary Speigle, 4520 Bechelli Lane, said she is concerned about the intersection of Bechelli and South Bonneyview. She said there is sufficient commercial development at Cypress and I-5 and at Knighten Road and I-5. She said the Highway Commercial designation, if 1 approved, would directly border their property. GaryStokes , 2630 Placer Lane, owner of property on Ricardo which is P P Y proposed to be designated RM-9, asked that the designation be changed to RM-12 as a compromise between the requested RM-18 and the RM-9 as recommended by the Planning Commission. Mr. Perry advised that he has responded to Mr. Stokes' questions in a letter dated June 30, 1982. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Pugh that the public hearing re General Plan Amendment GPA-5-82, be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 3 1 7/6/82 - -- --- - - - -- -- - -- - - - -- - w - � 174 MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Pugh that Council makes the following findings re General Plan Amendment GPA-5-82: 1 . Excluding land already developed, subject to flooding, in excess of 20-percent slope, subject to an environmental impact report or approved for subdivision, only 25 percent of the land in the plan area is considered undeveloped. 2. The impacts identified for the Draft Enterprise Committee Plan or the Staff Plan are the same as those for the existing plan. 3. As compared to the existing plan, the draft plan would allow a ten-percent population increase, and the Staff Plan would allow a 25-percent population increase. A4. Major circulation features of the Plan are already on the General Plan. 5. The Plan area is covered by a master street plan, a master sewer plan, and a master storm-drain plan. 6. Public and private projects that may be developed in the area may be subject to preparation of environmental impact reports discussing the projects in more specific terms. 7. The urban nature of the Enterprise area. and, ratifies the negative declaration approved by the Planning Commission on May 11 , 1982. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Councilman Pugh asked what the reasons were for the Highway Commercial designation south of Sunnyhill Lane. Mr. Perry replied that the property owner requested the designation and, because of the high visibility to north-bound I-5 traffic and the proximity to the inter- (' section of South Bonnyview, staff felt it was a reasonable use of the property. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Pugh, City Attorney Hays advised that, if Council decided to amend the plan to a lighter commercial use in the area south of Sunnyhill , it could adopt the resolution, indicating the amendment. Mayor Gard said she feels very strongly about the impact on the intersection at South Bonnyview. Councilman Pugh felt the Highway Commercial use is incompatible with the one-unit-per-acre residential development in the area. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Mayor Gard approving the recommendation of the Planning Commission for the Enterprise Area Plan, GPA-5-82, with the exception of the area south of the realign- ment of Sunnyhill Lane which is to be changed from Highway Commercial to Office Commercial . The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Western Ranches Water Assessment District No. 1981-5 The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public hearing re Western Ranches Water Assessment District No. 1981-5. „, � The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Certificate of Filing - Boundary Map with Recorder Certificate of Mailing - Notice of Improvement 7/6/82 t 175 i Certificate of Posting - Notice of Improvement ' Certificate of Publication - Notice of Improvement Certificate of Publication - Notice Inviting Bids The City Clerk advised that one letter of protest has been received 1 from Mr. & Mrs. Charles Bromagen. 3 Associate Civil Engineer Hastings explained that, after preparing the 3 amended engineer' s report, the engineer's estimate for this project is ; considerably higher than when the petition was initially circulated in the Western Ranches area. He advised that an informal meeting with i property owners was held to discuss this difference in assessments. Mr. Hastings advised that the assessments were respread and reduced somewhat because of a cost reduction in the bidding process, and that 1 the people at the meeting were generally in favor of going ahead with the project. i 1 Mr. Ken Towle, 4365 Alta Mesa, spoke in opposition to the project. He felt that the assessment district for water mains should not be a requirement of annexation but if so, the City should pay for the i increase from the original estimate. He outlined several requests as A conditions of the assessment district and annexation. 1 Mr. Tom McCloskey, 4530 Alta Mesa , stated that the residents of i Western Ranches have had several meetings on this matter and several notices have been sent to property owners from the City. He feels everyone has had sufficient notice and recommended that Council take a vote this evening and proceed with the project. Paul Ogden, 4600 Alta Mesa, said that property owners and City staff III have been working on this annexation for the past year and a half, with much public input. He noted that the City is growing in that direction, and the area is contiguous to City boundaries. Mr. Ogden felt this is an appropriate time to take action on the assessment Y district proceedings. Mr. Hastings explained that Council 's affirmative action tonight will start proceedings for the assessment district but will only qualify the area for commencement of annexation proceedings. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton that the public hearing re Western Ranches Water Assessment District No. 1981-5, be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mayor Gard instructed staff to respond by letter to the questions of Mr. Towle.

FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT EIR-4-81 - Evaluating Potential Sanitary Landfill Sites Mayor Gard abstained from any discussion on this matter. Planning and Community Development Director Perry submitted for information and review, the Final Environmental Impact Report EIR-4-81 , which evaluates the environmental impacts of alternative sanitary landfill sites west of Redding at Canyon Hollow or Southwest Oregon Gulch. He advised that the report also addresses the Shasta County West Central Site as a third alternative. !� Mr. Perry stated that the Planning Commission recommended certifying the ' II EIR, and further recommended joint operation with Shasta County of the West Central Site near Igo as the preferred alternative. He advised that prior to acting on any new landfill site, the City Council must certify the EIR and make the necessary findings required by Section 15088 of CEQA. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Fulton, Mr. Perry replied that he 4 believes the City Manager has had some discussions with the County of Shasta regarding the joint operation of a landfill site. He is not sure how soon the matter can be brought back to Council and added that the City Manager is presently exploring the alternatives. RENTAL HOUSING REOCCUPANCY INSPECTION PROGRAM Planning and Community Development Director Perry submitted a proposal to Council to initiate a rental housing inspection program, as requested by the Legal Aid Society at a public hearing on this years Community Development Block Grant Program. The proposal is patterned after a program used by the City of Pasadena. Mr. Perry advised that the purpose of the Pasadena program is to ensure the safety of the renters and to preserve the existing housing stock of the community. Mr. Perry outlined the present inspection program, but indicated that these inspections are not specifically designed to bring existing substandard rental units into compliance. He stated that a preoccupancy inspection / -c program would relieve the tenant of the burden of registering a complaint ,6z31 1 against his landlord and thereby incurring his wrath. It would secure compliance with codes while the unit is vacant, and therefore, eliminate the threat of displacement or increased rent. Mr. Perry explained that the long term effect of such a program would be preservation of the existing housing stock, eventual elimination of all substandard rental units, improvement of the quality of life of those renters living in substandard rental units and a reduction in the need for community services such as those provided by the Fire Department and by Legal Aid. Mr. Perry explained the cost estimates of implementing such a program as well as the estimated revenues to be recovered through inspection fees. He A 1 J A 1 7/6/82 1 i 178 f ` recommended that, if Council wishes to consider the program further, that it be referred to the Planning Commission and Community Development Advisory Board for report and recommendation. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Pugh, Mr. Perry advised that there will be some increases in rent as landlords are required to upgrade z their buildings , but the amount of the increase would depend on the III condition of the building. He said that this and other questions will be researched further if Council wishes to pursue the program. Mayor Gard noted that by requiring these inspections, the existing housing stock may be preserved. Housing and Redevelopment Administrator Henson noted that Council would have the ability to establish standards of occupancy, but the intent is to require that dangerous conditions be eliminated. He did not feel that t there are that many buildings in such poor condition that a large rent 5 increase would be necessary. Mr. Perry noted that it is proposed that each building be inspected from the standpoint of the Code under which it was constructed. i Jean Clemens, Director of the Consumers Aid of Shasta County, gave statis- tics on complaints received from tenants and indicated that she would be in 3 favor of a program to improve the tenant/landlord situation in the City. She agreed that there is substandard housing in the City. Council Members concurred that the City should continue to investigate such a program and referred the matter to the Planning Commission and Community Development Advisory Board for report and recommendation.

He suggested that businesses be encouraged to start their operations at an earlier time and avoid peak demand periods. Mr. Johannessen also felt that the City should limit the collection of fees and eliminate time delays for developers in order to further attract investment and business to locate in our area. 1 Electric Director Lindley explained that the commercial rates have been III structured so that usage can be spread throughout the day and therefore decrease their monthly charges. Councilman Pugh stated that the last rate increase was in 1978. He complimented the Electric Department and staff for delaying an increase this long.
