SUBJECT: 6.1--Public Hearing to consider Rezoning Application RZ-2023-00236, initiated
by the City of Redding, and Ordinance amending Redding Municipal Code Title 18 (Zoning),
ertainin to Zonin text cleanu s.
Recommendation
Conduct a public hearing and, upon conclusion:
(1) Offer an Ordinance amending the following, all relating to clean-up and updating of the
Zoning Code, for first reading by title only and waive the full reading:
(a) Chapter 18.31 (Residential Districts: "RE" Residential Estate, "RS" Residential
Single Family, and "RM" Residential Multiple Family) by amending Section
18.31.020 (Land Use Regulations)relating to density for 2-family dwellings;
(b) Chapter 18.40 (Development and Site Regulations) by amending Sections 18.40.010
(Antennas and Microwave Equipment; Telecommunications and Wireless Facilities)
relating to permit requirements for collocation facilities;
(c) Chapter 18.40 (Development and Site Regulations) by amending Section 18.40.160
(Swimming Pools) relating to filtering systems and heating equipment for swimming
pools;
(d) Chapter 18.40 (Development and Site Regulations) by amending Section 18.40.180
(Walls and Fences)relating to monitored electrified security fence systems;
(e) Chapter 18.41 (Off-Street Parking and Loading) by amending Sections 18.41.040-A
(Parking Spaces Required) relating to parking requirements for Health Clubs and
Fitness Studios; and
(� Chapter 18.42 (Signs) by amending Section 18.42.040 (Standards for Certain Types
of Signs)relating to flag poles within the Residential Districts.
(2) Authorize the City Attorney to prepare, and the City Clerk to publish the summary
ordinance according to law; and
(3) Find that adoption of the ordinance is, pursuant to 14 CCR 15378, exempt from
environmental review, beeause the passage of the proposed ordinance is not a "projeet"
according to the definition in the California Environmental Quality Act and, therefore, is
not subjeet to the provisions requiring environmental review.
Fiscal Impact
Report to Redding City Council March 16,2023
Re: 6.1--Rezoning Application RZ-2023-00236, by the City of Redding Page 2
There is no identified fiscal impact.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to adopt the ordinance as recommended by staff
and provide staff direction to continue the public hearing to a future Council meeting.
Background/Analysis
Under consideration are minor clarifying amendments to the text of Title 18, Zoning, of the
Redding Municipal Code (RMC). Similar amendments clarifying the text of the RMC are
processed on an annual basis with the most recent amendments adopted by the City Council in
June 2022. The proposed amendments are minor in nature and are primarily intended to clarify
the intent of the existing regulations, provide standards for fencing, provide additional flexibility
in the administration of the ordinance, and comply with Federal law.
On February 28, 2023, the Redding Planning Commission recommended in a 5-1 vote that the
Council approve the proposed amendments to the Redding Municipal Code.
The proposed text amendments are summarized below:
Section 18.31A20: Delete note regarding density not be applicable to two-family dwellings. This
is a typo and is in conflict with Specific Limitation Ll. General plan density applies in all cases
including two-family dwellings.
Section 18.40.010: Federal law regulates the processing of telecommunication and wireless
communication facilities when they are collocating on or within an existing approved tower or
facility. The Zoning Ordinance currently exempts collocation facilities. In order to apply the
exemption, the additional language is needed to clarify the facility would also need to comply
with Federal law in regards to wireless facility siting, which also addresses proximity to
residential districts.
Section 18.40.160: Eliminate the construction location requirement for swimming pool filtering
systems and heating equipment as new modern equipment must comply with California Building
Code energy standards and thus are much guieter and do not impact adjacent neighbors as they
have historically.
18.40.180: The Zoning Ordinance specifically prohibits electric fencing in residential districts,
however is silent in non-residential districts. Inclusion of standards would allow monitored
electrified security fence systems in non-residential districts.
18.41.040-A: Clarify the parking requirements for health clubs and fitn�ss studios.
18.42.040: Reduce the maximum height of a flag pole in residential districts from 20 feet to 16
feet as building permits are required for flag poles exceeding 16 feet per Building Division
policy. This would eliminate confusion as to what necessitates a building permit.
Environmental Review
The passage of the propos�d ordinance is not a "project" according to the definition in the
Report to Redding City Council March 16,2023
Re: 6.1--Rezoning Application RZ-2023-00236, by the City of Redding Page 3
California Environmental Quality Act and, therefore, is not subject to the provisions requiring
environmental review.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals

communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase
transparency to improve public trust."

shall advise the approving authority on whether the application should be approved or
denied based on the results of said study.
M. Technological Progress. When telecommunications technology becomes available and
economically viable to allow the height of cell towers to be reduced by 50 percent ar more
or to allow sites to be eliminated altogether, such facilities shall be upgraded or eliminated
within 24 months of a request by the City.

3. Monitored Electrif'ied Security Fence Systems. "Monitored perimeter security
fence system" means a perimeter alarm system with an assembly of battery-
powered equipment, including but not limited to: a monitored alarm device and
energizer which is intended to periodically deliver pulses to a security fence, a
battery charging device used exclusively to charge the system's battery, and other
integrated components. The design, construction, and use of monitored perimeter
security fence systems shall be allowed, subject to the following:
a. IEC Standard No. 60335-2-76. Unless otherwise specified herein,
monitored perimeter security fence systems shall be constructed and
operated in conformance with the specifications set forth in International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard No. 60335-2-76, current
edition.
b. Power Source. The energizer for monitored perimeter security fence
systems must be driven by a commercial storage battery not to exceed
twelve (12) volts DC. The storage battery is charged primarily by a solar
panel. The solar panel may be augmented by a commercial trickle charger.
c. Perimeter Barrier. Monitored perimeter security fence systems shall be
installed behind a nonelectrified fence or wall that complies with Section
18.40.180(B).
d. Emergency Gate Access/System Shutof£ Before a monitored perimeter
security fence system is activated, a Knox device shall be approved by the
fire department. The Knox device wi11 be installed at the main entry gat�

setbacks greater than 80 feet, the antenna may be located on the middle of
the lot provided that a site development permit is obtained in each case.
b. Sc�eening. A screen, fence, or earth berm shall be constructed to hide the
base of the antenna from view from the street and adjoining front yards in
the cases where the antenna is located in the middle of the lot.

under the antenna to the highest point of the antenna in its highest position.
d. Abutting InterioN Lot. In case of an interior lot abutting upon 2 streets, it
shall not be erected so as to encroach upon the front yard required for either
street.
2. All Other DistNicts.

or building codes.
c. Multiple communication sites proposed by a single applicant, in which case
a use permit will serve as a master land permit for all sites under single
review by the Planning Commission,

or to allow sites to be eliminated altogether, such facilities shall be upgraded or eliminated
within 24 months of a request by the City.
N. Discontinuance of Use. The City shall be notified by the service provider of any intent to
