been apprised of this activity in the event it may be in conflict with
something previously scheduled, and whether any portion of the roadway
will be blocked.
Public Works Director Arness noted that this route is much better and
safer than the route used last year. He advised Council that he would
check whether or not any portion of the roadway will be barricaded.

the request of the March of Dimes to hold its 8th Annual Walkathon on

Redding Redevelopment Agency - Annual Report covering July 1, 1977 through

legislative body and the State Department of Housing and Community AC 'S
Development on or before March 1, 1979. The Annual Report, prepared and

Collin Hammans - Alternate Jail Site and Design Concept
Councilman Pugh abstained from discussion on this item.
In a communication to Council dated February 28, 1979, Collin Hammans
requested permission to verbally present his alternate site for the
proposed jail along with his concept for design.
City Clerk Brayton noted that Mr. Hammans has submitted his design
concept and site plan, in writing, and, therefore, will not make a
verbal presentation to Council. It was noted that Mr. Hammans is in
the audience.
Mayor Demsher expressed appreciation for the concern shown by Mr.
Hammans. He noted that Council has already presented its statement
to the Board of Supervisors, the lead agency, spelling out what it
will support, and feels that any additional considerations should be
submitted directly to the Board. Council does not desire to preempt
the Board nor entertain anything beyond what it has already communicated
in its official statement. Other Council Members concurred.
Councilman Kirkpatrick said he appreciated receiving Mr. Hammans'
suggestion.
Mayor Demsher said perhaps it would be in order for he and Councilman
Kirkpatrick to review the concept and advise Mr. Hammans of their views
with respect to the proposal.

approval of the tentative map of Indian Hills Subdivision, Unit No. 2. The
area was shown on the Vu Graph. The conditions of approval were submitted
to Council Members. Mr. Harris noted that since the last extension, the
City has obtained noise projections for Benton Airpark which indicate that the
65dBA Community Noise Equivalent Level contour overlays the extreme north end
of the subdivision as depicted on the tentative map. Based on this new infor-
mation, the Planning Commission added two new conditions:
1. The developer is to reserve Lots 27 and 28 as shown on the
tentative map for acquisition by the City of Redding, pursuant
to the dedication and reservation provision of the Subdivision
Map Act.
2. At the time the final map is recorded for any portion of the
subdivision, the subdivider is to grant an air-and-noise
easement to the City.

it closely.

for March and April. She was assured that the chemical spray would not
be a problem because there would not be any water flow involved.

PUBLIC HEARING - Rezoning Application RZ-12-78, by Edwin Lanning
The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public
Hearing on Rezoning Application RZ-12-78, by Edwin Lanning.
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 March 1, 1979
The City Clerk advised that no written protests had been received and
the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor.
Planning and Community Development Director Harris advised Council that /),�/
at its regular meeting of February 13, 1979, the Planning Commission
unanimously recommended the rezoning of property located at 1500 to
1530 Lake Boulevard from "C-1-F" Neighborhood Commercial District to
"R3-25-F" Multiple Family Residential District. The area was depicted
on the Vu Graph. The Redding General Plan classifies the property as
"Medium Density Residential", 3.5 units per acre. It is the opinion
of both the Planning Commission and staff that multiple family zoning
is appropriate for the property and would be more consistent with the
General Plan than the present zoning. It is the recommendation of
both the Commission and the staff that the property be rezoned "R3-25-F",
with the site-plan review to stipulate the following:
1. Each parcel shall be limited to one driveway on Lake Boulevard;
2. Twenty percent of each parcel is to be landscaped with plant
materials.
It is the staff recommendation that the negative declaration be ratified,
the rezoning be approved as recommended, and that the prepared ordinance
be offered for first reading.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard that
the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard that

Planning Commission Recommendation dated March 1, 1979
The City Clerk advised that no written protests had been received and
the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor.
Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memo
to Council dated March 1, 1979 re appeal of Lot Split Application
LS-96-78 by Arthur White on property located on the west side of
Bechelli Lane at its intersection with Hartnell Avenue. The area was
shown on the Vu Graph illustrating the extension of Hartnell west from
Bechelli Lane to its intersection with Cypress Street.
Mr. Harris said that the Lot Split was approved by the Board of Adminis-
trative Review on November 28, 1978 subject to ten conditions. Condition
No. 6 was appealed to the Planning Commission by the applicant's attorney
and subsequent to the Planning Commission denial of the appeal, Conditions
4, 6, and 10 were appealed to Council. Mr. Harris noted that Conditions
4 and 10 were not appealed to the Planning Commission, therefore, techni-
cally they cannot be considered an issue.
Mr. Harris stated that since the Planning Commission hearing, the staff
met with the applicant's attorney. As a result of the meeting, it is
the recommendation of staff that Condition No. 6 be modified which would,
in essence, still require the dedication of 30 ft. of right of way for
the extension of Hartnell Avenue along the southern line of the property.
However, the City would construct the first 60 feet of roadway west of
Bechelli Lane and the property owner would improve the remaining 54 ft.
of the dedicated area with curb, gutter, and sidewalk; one driving lane;
and one parking lane as per the requirements of the Public Works Department.
This is a modification of the language in the staff report to Council
referred to above.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick
that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Pugh amending

the afore-discussed appeal, as recommended by staff. The Vote: Unani-

ORAL REPORT - Air Tec Refrigeration
Councilman Pugh abstained from discussion of this item.
A petition from property owners opposing the operation of Air Tec Refrigeration
at 2122 Amelia Court instigated investigation into the legality of this usage.
City Attorney Murphy reported that the evidence received to date does not
substantiate proof of a break in commercial usage of this building for a
continuous period of six months and that in order to prosecute, he must have Ni
such substantiation beyond a shadow of a doubt. Pertaining to the intensi-
fication of the former level of commercial usage, Mr. Murphy suggested that )L
it might be well to follow Councilwoman Gard's suggestion to suspend investi-
gation until summer when the business becomes more active. He pointed out
that at that time, traffic counts could be taken and if it is determined that
traffic is substantial, it would be an intensification of a non-conforming use
and proper action could be taken.
70
John Fitzgerald, 2010 Amelia Court, asked if the interested property owners
could have access to information submitted to the City Attorney by Carl
Williams.
City Attorney Murphy said he would supply said information.
Mr. Fitzgerald noted that the posted 4-ton load limit was violated this
morning by Peters Truck Lines.
Councilman Kirkpatrick suggested that Peters Truck Lines be notified of
the load limit on Amelia Court.
Mayor Demsher agreed that this was a good idea and requested that Air Tec
Refrigeration be asked to notify its suppliers of the posted weight limitation.
City Attorney Murphy consented to send such letters.
Council will reconsider this matter again later this year at an appropriate
time.
