He stated that a resolution has been prepared initiating reversion-to-acreage proceedings for Woodside Meadows Subdivision, Unit No. 2. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry explained that at the present time, the subdivision exists without any public improvements, and individual lots can be sold. He noted that the owner was notified in September, 1981 , of the need to construct the improvements, post adequate security, or merge the land back into one parcel . The owner proposed a form of security in the nature of a lien against the property. However, staff does not feel that such a procedure would cause improvements to be constructed in a timely manner. It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution to commence reversion-to-acreage proceedings and set a public hearing for 7:30 P.M. , December 20, 1982. This will combine the property into a single parcel . Mr. Perry added that if, during the processing of the reversion, the owner posts acceptable security, further action can be terminated. If the parcels are merged, the owner has the option of submitting a new �G tentative map which could be valid for four years. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Demsher that Resolution No. 82-215 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding initiating reversion-to-acreage proceedings on Woodside Meadows Subdivision Unit No. 3 (S-22-79) , and setting a public hearing for 7:30 P.M. , December 20, 1982.

Public Works Director Arness concurred with that recommendation because all the necessary property easements have not yet been acquired. He suggested that the contract be awarded at the December 20, 1982, Council meeting. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Pugh, City Attorney Hays advised that the contractor has consented to an extension of the award of 6261 bid to December 20, 1982. Mr. Hays also advised that this would fit into the time schedule. Assistant City Manager Courtney reported that he received a recommendation this afternoon from the financial consultants on the project and that M.L. Stern has made a proposal with a net interest cost of 11 .16687% on the alternative 15-year schedule. He stated that Mr. Vande Pol 's recommenda- tion was that the 15-year schedule be approved because it has the lowest net interest cost and the lowest annual cost. Mr. Sperry concurred in that recommendation and added that the required $20,000 bid check from M.L. Stern has been received and will be surrendered to the City Clerk together with their written bid proposal . Mr. Sperry recommended that the Negative Declaration be ratified and the resolution ordering sale of bonds be adopted.

He stated that it was a very well attended function by all members and felt it was a monumental step in acquiring generation of power at a cost which is anticipated to be less than power acquired at other market places. From an initial project cost of $106,000,000, Mr. Pugh 014 stated that now that the project is completed, the cost seems to be closer Ito $82,000,000 for that same acquisition of power. He emphasized that Price Waterhouse has done an excellent job of monitoring costs for the project and added that the City is very pleased with the overall program. Mayor Gard commented that it was most impressive to her to see the coopera- tion between municipal utilities and private utilities working together for the good of the public. ORDINANCE - re Amendment to P.E.R.S. for Public Safety Employees City Attorney Hays advised that an ordinance regarding the amendment to the P.E.R.S. contract was inadvertently omitted earlier on the agenda and it is recommended that it be offered for first reading at this time. 5.3?' � Councilman Pugh offered Ordinance No. 1610 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding authorizing an amendment to the contract between the City Council and the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System. /OD -2-3,19 PUBLIC HEARING - re Abandonment Application A-5-82 The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public hearing re Abandonment Application A-5-82, by Robert Becker.

He stated that the Planning Commission recommended abandonment of portions of Sonoma Street and West Street on the southwest corner of the intersection of Sonoma and West Streets. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry stated that after reviewing the request, it is the opinion of both the Planning Commission and staff that the parcels shown on Figure 2 of the staff report are not needed for public road purposes and can be abandoned subject to several conditions. Said staff report is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. It is the recommendation of staff that the abandonment be approved in concept as outlined in the staff report, that the negative declaration be ratified and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare a resolution to effect the abandonment as each owner completes the criteria.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes -D/O -/DO PUBLIC HEARING - Rezoning Application RZ-15-82, by City of Redding The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public • hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-15-82, by City of Redding. 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 Commission Recommendation dated December 1 , 1982 /Lig 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 December 1 , 1982. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended rezoning of property located in the Western Ranches, Western Oaks, Western Homes, Rancho Estates, and El Verano Estates Subdivision from "U" Unclassified District to "R1-B10" and "Rl-B20" Single Family Residential Districts and "R-1-A" Single Family Residential District with Agricultural Combining 12/6/82 342 District. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph, and the draft negative declaration was submitted to Council . Mr. Perry explained that portions of the property have been in the "U" Unclassified District since incorporation into the City in late 1976, as a part of the Enterprise Public Utility District annexation. He indicated that the remainder of the property has recently been incor- porated as a result of the Western Ranches annexation. Since annexa- tion, these properties have been zoned "U" Unclassified District. He said the proposed rezoning is the next step toward implementing the Enterprise Area Plan adopted earlier this year, by placing a specific zoning classification on each parcel . It is proposed that the "A" Agricultural Combining District be com- bined with the R-1 District for lots fronting on Alta Mesa, Alta Campo, and Alta Saga Drives, due to the past keeping of large animals within this area. The main provision of the "A" District is that one large animal per 20,000 square feet of lot area may be kept as a permitted use, Mr. Perry explained. Mr. Perry noted that two letters have been received in opposition to the application of the "A" District, citing inadequate lot size as the main objection. He indicated that most of the letters received were in favor of the "A" zoning. It is the recommendation of both the Commission and staff that the area be zoned as depicted on the map entitled "Proposed Zoning" , which is incorporated herein by reference. It is further recommended that the negative declaration be ratified and the ordinance offered for first reading. Karen Towle, 4365 Alta Mesa Drive, Past President of the Green Acres 4-H, stated she submitted a petition to the Board of Administrative Review and a letter to the Planning Commission asking that the number of animals allowed be increased. She said there are many 4-H members in the area who raise large and small animals as Fair projects and since sheep are considered large animals, this will cause many of them to exceed the zoning regulations. Miss Towle asked that 4-H project animals be excluded from the regulations. Rich Carpenter, 4078 Alta Campo, opposed the R-1-A zoning on Alta Campo. He said he does not understand why the City wants to rezone this area to R-1-A, since most of the parcels are less than the required one acre. Mr. Carpenter felt that Animal Permit AP-2-82 recently granted to a property owner on Alta Campo was the determining factor for applying the R-1-A zoning to this area. He submitted a petition from residents on Alta Campo Drive opposing the R-1-A zoning and supporting R-1 -B20, which would require a permit to keep any large animals. In addition to the petition, Mr. Carpenter advised that three additional people have verbally supported the petition. Ron Roberti , 4373 Alta Campo Drive, supported the comments of Mr. Carpenter. He said many more residents would have signed the petition but they did not wish to get further involved in a neighborhood dispute. Mr. Roberti said that even though many of the neighbors supported the Animal Permit, they do not want R-1-A zoning on Alta Campo. He felt the parcels are too small . Floyd Glissmeyer, 4050 Alta Campo Drive, favored the R-1-A zoning. He said that following the Planning Commission meeting, 18 letters were received in favor of the R-1 -A zoning. He said they feel that it is their inherent right to maintain the Agricultural zoning. 12/6/82 343 1 MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes In response to an inquiry from Councilman Fulton, Mr. Perry explained that the R-1-20 zoning is a single family designation, with a minimum parcel size of 20,000 square feet, and large animals are allowed by permit only. Whereas, the R-1-A zoning is a single family designa- tion, with a minimum parcel size of one acre, and one large animal is allowed for each half acre. He noted that there are restrictions regarding sanitation and care of animals in the R-1-A zone. Councilman Pugh noted that if the animals create a nuisance, this may be handled privately through the C.C. and R. ' s. Mayor Gard emphasized that the "A" zoning was developed in response to the recent Western Ranches annexation, as they wanted a guarantee that their rights to keep animals would be upheld. She felt that half acre lots should be recognized as suitable for one large animal and less than half acre lots are not suitable for large animals. Ms. Gard proposed that 4-H activities should be encouraged and that there should be some provision in the ordinance for that. She also sug- gested that the minimum area for applying the "A" zoning should be decreased to ten acres so that the area fronting on Saratoga Avenue could be included. The Mayor stated she strongly supports the Agri- cultural zoning in the City wherever the lots are suitable for large animals. Ms. Gard felt that anytime the permit process can be avoided, we should do so. She noted that there are restrictions in the ordinance which protect the neighbors. Councilman Kirkpatrick concurred that some provision should be made for 4-H projects , however he does not agree that two large animals on one acre is the same as one large animal on a half acre. Councilman Demsher agrees that 4-H activities should be encouraged, however, the animals can still be a nuisance to the neighborhood. He said he is not in favor of a special provision for 4-H project as this would discriminate against others who may have the same type of objectives as 4-H. Mr. Demsher emphasized that the people in this area understood that their C.C. and R. 's allowed animals and he is not in favor of changing what people have the right to expect. Mr. Perry commented that the number of animals seems to be a problem and the fact that the "A" District ordinance does not deal with 4-H projects. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Fulton that Council makes the following findings re Rezoning Application RZ-15-82, by City of Redding: 1 . Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan. 2. Project will not significantly alter existing land form. 3. Project is compatible with surrounding land use. 4. Project is compatible with the Code of the City of Redding, California. and, ratifies the Negative Declaration approved by the Board of Administrative Review on October 13, 1982.

Council Members concurred that the R-1-A Zoning Ordinance should be referred back to the Planning Commission to review the minimum acreage requirements, parcel size, and special provisions for 4-H activities.

He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended amendment of the Redding General Plan to reclassify 9.4 acres located at 250 Lake Boulevard East from "High Density Residential , 18 units per acre" and "Greenway" to "Highway Commercial" and "Greenway." A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry explained that in 1976, the applicant initiated a General Plan amendment, GPA-1-76, that covered 180 acres which included the subject property. Environmental Impact Report EIR-3-76 was prepared for GPA-1-76. Mr. Perry advised that the Board of Administrative Review found that EIR-3-76 adequately addressed the environmental impacts associated with the current application. Mr. Perry stated that the intent of the applicant is to construct a commercial water slide. A use-permit application has been filed to that effect and is pending completion of the General Plan amendment. He noted that with the present "U" Unclassified zoning, any specific development proposal would be subject to a use permit and a separate environmental determination. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the subject property be reclassified to "Highway Commercial" and that the EIR be recertified by adoption of a resolution.
