The Vote: Unanimous Ayes WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS Bureau of Reclamation - Request for Evaluation of Water Use and Steps Implemented to Promote Conservation of Water In a communication to Council, the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, requested that the City of Redding (1) evaluate its present level of water use to determine where water may be conserved, and (2) report steps taken and steps intended to be taken to promote the conservation of water provided from and through Federal facilities. This information is requested in order to comply with the United States General Accounting Office report to Congress entitled, "Municipal and Industrial Water Conservation - The Federal Government Could Do More," which recommends to the Secretary of the �� c Interior that the Bureau accomplish the following: 1. Require municipal and industrial water supply contractors to furnish water use plans; 2. Allocate for sale only the amount of water which the Bureau calculates would be needed if sound water management is practiced; 3. Until such water use plan is required for existing contracts, advise all existing municipal and industrial water supply contractors to prepare water use plans and adopt the use of proven water saving devices and techniques. It is requested that the report be submitted by October 30, 1978.

MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the aforestated request. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes CLOSURE OF EUGENIA, MILO AND ROANOKE AVENUES Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memo to Council dated August 3, 1978. He noted that on June 19, 1978, Council had closed the public hearing and continued consideration of the proposal to close Eugenia, Milo and Roanoke Avenue in order to allow additional time for property owners to respond to a letter from the City. The purpose of the letter was to ascertain the extent of opposition to the proposed street closures. Mr. Harris advised that to date, twenty responses covering 28 parcels have been received. The area was depicted on the Vu Graph. Of these responses, four property owners have indicated opposition, including the letter previously received from Franklin Cibula. Of those opposing the closure, only one of the parcels fronts on any of the streets proposed to be closed. There are 77 parcels and 64 property owners within the area. Nineteen of these homes are owner occupied. Mr. Harris said that, based on the responses received and the public testimony before the Planning Commission and Council, it is recommended that Council proceed with the project as recommended by the Planning Commission with the following modifications: 1. Cul-de-sac on Milo Avenue to be relocated to the west as requested by several owners. 2. Street improvements are to be deleted from the eastern half of Milo Avenue. 3. Sidewalks are to be deleted from all vacant parcels of land. One property owner on Eugenia Avenue has expressed opposition to the closure of that street; however, it is the opinion of staff that a cul-de-sac on Eugenia will help maintain the integrity of the residential neighborhood. The project was designed in early 1977 and the deletion of sidewalks on vacant parcels and the reduction of improvements on Milo Avenue will enable the City to offset the cost increases due to inflation. If Council concurs, the staff will proceed with the project as modified. Councilman Pugh asked the City Attorney what the City's exposure is to the objections. Mr. Murphy replied that he is more concerned with the complaint from the property owner on Eugenia than the complaint received from the property owner on West Street. However, he concurs with the recommendation of the Planning Director. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the aforestated recommendation be approved and instructing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary documents. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 1 ENTERPRISE ANNEX NO. 77-20 Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memo to Council dated August 3, 1978, stating that on September 1, 1977, Council authorized the commencement of annexation proceedings for Enterprise Annex No. 77-20 after receipt of an informal petition by Kurt Reichel. The area was shown on the Vu Graph. The petition was submitted to LAFCO on May 25, 1978 and was approved by that agency on June 14, 1978. Mr. Harris advised that prior to starting the annexation process, Mr. Reichel submitted a lot -split application through the County to create three parcels. The property has been sold, and requests for two additional lot splits and a rezoning have been filed with the County to create a total of eight parcels on Mr. Reichel's former property. Mr. Harris said that the original lot split was approved by the County subject to two conditions: (1) connection to City water and sewer, and (2) proof of access. The County has deferred action on the additional lot splits and rezoning after receiving a negative recommendation from the City staff. The staff recommended against approval of the additional splits due to the size of the parcels, which are inconsistent with surrounding development, and because the parcels would not have public street access. Mr. Harris advised that the easement access to the property is in dispute by adjoining owners and a title report clarifying whether the two parcels created have access rights has not been filed with the Planning Department. As it is the declared intention of the owners to subdivide the property further, it is the recommendation of the Planning Department that annexation proceedings be terminated or held in abeyance until such time as public -street access is provided and the parcels are developed to full City standards. Mr. Harris said that Mr. Reichel prefers that the item be held in abeyance until he obtains proper access to the parcel and then the City can proceed with the annexation process. Councilwoman Gard stated that this is an area where the residents have made their wishes very clear. She questioned whether the County would hold its action in abeyance each time requests are filed for lot splits to create smaller parcels. Mr. Harris replied that to date, the County has held them in abeyance pending approval of the annexation. City Attorney Murphy advised Council that it retains the greatest freedom of action by continuing the matter and not taking any action this evening. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick holding Enterprise Annexation No. 77-20 in abeyance until such time as proper access to the parcel is obtained and the parcels are developed to full City standards. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ENTERPRISE ANNEX NO. 78-3 Planning and Community Development Director Harris stated that at its regular meeting of June 14, 1978, the Local Agency Formation Commission approved Enterprise Annex No. 78-3 to the City of Redding subject to the deletion of one of the parcels included by the City. The area was depicted on the Vu Graph. Since all of the property owners have not signed the petition requesting annexation, the next step is to conduct a formal protest hearing. It is recommended that the prepared resolution be adopted setting the protest hearing for 7:30 P.M., September 18, 1978. Resolution - Setting Protest Hearing MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton that Resolution No. 78-133 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding giving notice of proposed annexation to the City of Redding of uninhabited territory described herein and designated 227 -D_ � S- �� "Enterprise Annex No. 78-3", and giving notice of time and place for hearing protests thereto. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Councilmen - Fulton, Gard, Kirkpatrick, Pugh, and Demsher Noes: Councilmen - None Absent: Councilmen - None Resolution No. 78-133 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. PLACER ROAD ANNEX NO. 1 - Detachment from Centerville Community Services District Planning and Community Development Director Harris informed Council that Shasta County has advised that Placer Road Annex No. 1, located on the �J south side of Placer Road adjacent to the westerly City limits, has been detached from the Centerville Community Services District and annexation to the City has been completed. This annexation was accomplished under the District Reorganization Act, and no further action is required by Council. ABANDONMENT APPLICATION A-8-78, by Van Tillman Planning and Community Development Director Harris advised Council that on July 11, 1978, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended abandonment of 26 feet of right of way located on the northwest side of Seventh Street, between West Street and Lakeview Drive. The area was shown on the Vu Graph. It is the recommendation of the staff that Council adopt the prepared resolution setting a public hearing for 7:30 P.M., September 5, 1978, to consider this abandonment. Resolution - Setting Public Hearing Date MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that Resolution No. 78-134 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding declaring its intention to vacate and abandon a portion of Seventh Street between West Street and Lakeview Drive. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Councilmen - Fulton, Gard, Kirkpatrick, Pugh, and Demsher Noes: Councilmen - None Absent: Councilmen - None Resolution No. 78-134 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.

RECOMMENDATION RE ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES FOR FUTURE PARK SITES Parks and Recreation Director Riley reviewed the Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation to Council dated July 31, 1978, pertaining to acquisition of riverfront and other properties for future park sites. 2The Commission strongly recommends that the following properties be So purchased: 1) 17 -acre parcel near Girvan Road because it is riverfront property and large enough for a community park in the Cascade area; e 1 1 229 2) Two westerly 10 -acre parcels of the proposed 40 -acre site east of Enterprise High School. This is only one-half of the original proposal because of the proximity to the Enterprise sewer ponds which will be phased out in 1979 when the regional sewer plant is completed. Hopefully, this site will then be reverted to a large community park for the Enterprise area. Mr. Riley said it is also the Commission's recommendation that the Viscaino property proposal be forwarded to the Department of Fish and Game for consideration under Land and Water Conservation Funds. This parcel is not in the City limits; therefore, the priority is not as high as the previous two proposals. Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memo to Council dated August 4, 1978, which is made a part of these minutes by reference. Mr. Harris said that staff concurs with the Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation and reviewed the estimated costs and source of funds as follows: Enterprise - Parcel "A" (10 acres) - $60,000 - 1976 State Bond Act Enterprise - Parcel "C" (10 acres) - $47,000 - Comm. Dev. Program Cascade - 17.5 acres ± - 102,000 ± - State Bond Funds It is recommended that the staff be authorized to file an amended application with the State to acquire these properties with 1976 State Bond Act funds and that an appraisal be obtained for the Cascade property. Councilwoman Gard noted that the City is fortunate that the properties are still available and that there are State and Federal funds which may be used for acquisition. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the aforestated recommendation. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - General Plan Amendment GPA -2-77, Cascade Neighborhood Plan The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing on General Plan Amendment GPA -2-77, Cascade Neighborhood Plan. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: l�S' Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing lq/J Planning Commission Recommendation dated 8/2/78 The City Clerk advised Council that two written protests had been received. One dated July 31, 1978, signed by E. C. and G. A. Emory, Evert E. Gess, and Charles R. Bever, (Mr. and Mrs. Herman Standiford, out-of-town owners verbally concurred with said protest), and the other dated August 4, 1978, from Westwood Construction Co. which was signed by Robert M. Gore and Richard L. Gore. The City Clerk also mentioned that there was a group who wished to be heard regarding the sale of church property on Kenyon Drive. Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed the Department memo to Council dated August 2, 1978. He noted that at an adjourned regular meeting on June 30, 1978, the Planning Com- mission unanimously recommended to Council approval of the Cascade Neighborhood Plan. The Plan is a product of fifteen meetings of the Cascade Advisory Committee and six hearings before the Planning Commission on the EIR and the Plan itself. The Plan, as recommended 230 by the Commission, does not include a strip of land 1,000 feet in width centered on Olney Creek. The Commission has held back on consideration of that pending receipt of a hydrological study of Olney Creek to determine the magnitude of flooding and to evaluate various flood -control solutions that could impact the land uses adjacent to the creek. Mr. Harris said that since writing his report on this General Plan Amendment, he has learned that the hydrological study is nearing completion and it is, there- fore, the Department recommendation that this hearing be continued to the second meeting in September and that the issues raised by Westwood Construction Co. and E. C. Emory, et al, be referred to the Planning Commission for study and recommendation. Because the issues presented are new, it would be appropriate for consider- ation at the Planning Commission level with a recommendation to Council at a later date. Mayor Demsher concurred that some of the issues presented should be considered at the Planning Commission level. Mr. Harris pointed out to those in the audience that if individuals request changes of a General Plan Amendment at Council level, they must be referred back to the Planning Commission for consideration. He said if there are other additional areas of concern, they should be directed to the Planning Commission. Mayor Demsher requested a show of hands from persons present at the public hearing desiring to be heard with regard to the church issue. A show of hands indicated that half of those present were at the hearing because of same. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick referring General Plan Amendment GPA -2-77, the Cascade Neighborhood Plan, back to the Planning Commission and continuing the Council hearing to 7:30 P.M., September 18, 1978. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - General Plan Amendment GPA -4-77, The Knolls Councilman Pugh abstained from discussion and voting on this item. The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing on General Plan Amendment GPA -4-77, The Knolls. 1� 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 August 2, 1978 The City Clerk advised Council that one letter of comment from the applicants has been received. The area under consideration was shown on the Vu Graph. The 60 acres in question is located generally between Sunset Drive and Overhill Drive, south of Eureka Way. Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Commission as set forth in his memorandum to Council dated August 2, 1978. He said that as recommended by the Planning Commission, the amendment would permit 84 units in a conventional subdivision and up to 120 units in a planned development. The developer has requested reclassi- fication that would permit 109 units in a conventional subdivision and up to 156 units in a "PD" District. Mr. Harris indicated that the key issue is density and concerns the total number of units to be 231 approved, either in a conventional subdivision or in a "PD'.'. He noted that, although the property contains 60 acres, only 30 acres are usable for development with the remainder being in steep slopes in excess of 20 percent. Mr. Harris advised that it is the recommendation of both the Com- mission and the staff that Council approve the amendment as recom- mended by the Planning Commission. It is also suggested that the Council find, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, such project, which mitigate or avoid the significant environ- mental effects thereof as identified in the final EIR, and that the following factors are evident: 1. The amendment bears relationship to and is consistent with topography, spatial location, adjoining development, and accessibility. 2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development as a conventional subdivision or as a planned - unit development; 3. The number of units permitted will not cause serious public health problems nor cause substantial environmental damage. Mr. Harris said that if Council concurs, it is suggested that the amendment be approved and that the City Attorney be directed to prepare a resolution for adoption at its next regular meeting. Councilwoman Gard said the last time Council had a request of this nature, it held to the General Plan and the density was still too high (referring to Lake Redding Estates, GPA -1-77). She feels Council must make a policy decision on how it will act on appli- cations, such as this one, in the future. Council must decide what it wants Redding to be. In contrast, she noted that the Enterprise and Cascade areas have indicated their desire to be semi -rural and low density. The applicants have requested almost three times the existing density in surrounding development and Mrs. Gard expressed her concern that the cumulative effect forces Council to make a policy decision. In considering The Knolls, Mrs. Gard commented that the terrain is extremely precipitous and a steep access to any residence is not desirable and it becomes hazardous particularly in bad weather. Mayor Demsher commented that he favors cluster -type proposals. He feels that getting away from the traditional 6,000 to 10,000 sq. ft.lot with the house in the center to a plan offering more open space is desirable noting also that it reduces the number of streets and sidewalks normally required. Councilman Kirkpatrick asked what the reasons were for changing the General Plan. Mr. Harris replied that the present allowable density appears too restrictive in light of the existing development to the north and south. He feels it is a compromise situation based on analysis of the existing density in the area. Don Kennedy, Attorney, 1714 West Street, representing the applicants, supported the letter submitted by the applicants that opposed the Planning Commission's recommended density of 120 units for the "PD". 232 He said from an economic standpoint, this amount is insufficient for development of the type of cluster arrangement contemplated. He feels this is a quality project and could be a model for the City of Redding. He expressed a desire for 156 units but said his clients are willing to accept a compromise of 145 units. He didn't feel that an increase in density from 120 to 140-145 would have that much adverse impact on the area. Eric Diesslin, 3500 Longview, representing himself and his family, said he resides in Sunset Terrace and finds it difficult to get on to Eureka Way because of traffic congestion. He requested that consideration be given to the impact traffic from this development will have on Eureka Way and Sunset Terrace. Vera Cecchi, 1310 Bambury Court, asked for the density to remain at 46 units as presently allowed by the General Plan. She felt any increase in the density would be precedent setting and noted there is plenty of other open space available in the City for development of the type requested. From her point of view, the silhouette of this complex at the ridge level would look like a complex of apart- ments which she opposes and feels is inappropriate in R-1 zoning. Ms. Cecchi said that if the request is approved, she suggests constructing the houses below the level of the ridge. Bill Gelonek, 1005 Yuba Street, one of the applicants, said all of the matters being presented had been discussed at the Planning Com- mission level. He felt that the concern regarding the inadequacy of Eureka Way to handle the additional traffic could be dismissed as, in his opinion, it is adequate. Referring to the density, he said the contemplated proposal of 2-3 units per acre will result in the same density already existing in the adjacent R-1 properties. He assured Council that of the 60 acres, 30 would be developed in an aesthetically desirable manner and will not alter the present life-style of the area in any way. He maintained that it would be inappropriate to develop 60 acres immediately adjacent to City utilities and a main arterial at a lower density. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the Public Hearing be closed. Councilman Kirkpatrick noted that whether or not the densities are reduced, the development could very well have the same amount of units. Mr. Harris replied that it is possible; however, that Council does not have a specific plan before it tonight. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick referring this matter back to the Planning Commission to consider a possible compromise for density between the Commission's recommendation and the developer's request. Councilwoman Gard questioned the value of referring the matter back to the Planning Commission without a recommendation for a density increase or decrease. She feels that the entire planning process has been dealt with and that action at the Council level is the conclusion. Councilman Kirkpatrick did not feel the density should be specified. Councilman Fulton responded that his motion dealt with the area between the applicant's request and the recommendation of the Planning Commission. 233 Mayor Demsher said his concern with the planning process is that a plan is not available to review with the proposed density. He felt that the applicants may have come up with a plan that is acceptable; however, presently the Council deals with assumptions only. City Attorney Murphy stated that in terms of usable acres, the proposed density is much greater than in the surrounding areas; that the gross acreage should not be considered with respect to density. Mayor Demsher called for a vote on the existing motion. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Councilmen - Fulton, Kirkpatrick, and Demsher Noes: Councilwoman - Gard Absent: Councilmen - None Abstain: Councilmen - Pugh PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal re Melody Manor Subdivision, Unit No. 6 The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing on the appeal of Melody Manor Subdivision, Unit No. 6. 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 Department Report dated August 3, 1978 JOY The City Clerk advised Council that no written communications had been received. The area being considered in the appeal was depicted on the Vu Graph. Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed the Planning Department memo to Council. The primary issue is the relation- ship of the subdivision to the Enterprise Skypark. It lies entirely within the approach zone to the airport. Mr. Harris advised Council that the applicant initially requested a 28 -lot subdivision. The Commission required that an environmental assessment be prepared to analyze the relationship of the subdivision to the airport and to assess flooding along Clover Creek. On May 9, 1978, the Planning Commission authorized a negative declaration for this subdivision based on a revised tentative map that reduced the subdivision from 28 lots to 21 lots. On June 13, 1978, the Planning Commission unani- mously approved the revised tentative map, subject to 28 conditions. Mr. Pullen has requested that Condition Nos. 1, 21 and 22 be deleted and Condition No. 23 be modified to provide for a pay -back agreement on oversized pipe. The conditions are as follows: 1. Permission to create a 21 -lot subdivision as per map dated June 12, 1978; 21. The Clover Creek channel shall be reinforced on both sides from Lots 15 through 16 and along the back of Lots 34 and 35 of Melody Manor, Unit No. 4, and Parcels 1 and 3 of a previous parcel map, in order to protect the integrity of the lots as shown; 22. The channel for Clover Creek shall have a maintenance - free invert of sufficient size to carry the low -flow drainage; 234 23. The waterline in Clover Creek shall be extended northerly and capped so as to provide for a future connection with a waterline in Goodwater Avenue. Mr. Harris informed Council that in their consideration of the project, the Planning Commission received comments from the Shasta County Airport Land Use Commission, the State Division of Aeronautics, and the Shasta County Planning Director. Both the County Airport Land Use Commission and the Planning Director recommended denial of the tentative map. The State advised that "Prudent planning would not permit residential development so close to the runway, as it would cause a safety concern and endanger the airport." Mr. Harris stated that the Commission based its decision to approve the subdivision on providing a.reasonable use for the property consistent with its proximity to the airport. It is the opinion of both the Planning Com- mission and the staff that in time the airport will be phased out because of encroaching urban development. Conditions 21 and 22 relate to needed drainage improvements within the subdivision. It is the recommendation of the Public Works Department that they not be amended or eliminated. In regard to Condition No. 23, the extension of a water- line to Goodwater Avenue, it has been the policy of the City in the past to require waterlines to be extended to the edges of the development. Mr. Harris concluded that it is the recommendation of the staff that the appeal be denied and that the action of the Planning Commission be sustained. Public Works Director Arness discussed Conditions 21 and 22 and re-emphasized the need for these conditions. Carl Pullen, 2704 Hartnell Avenue, developer of the project, said he is willing to cut the density to 21 lots and set land aside for the City in exchange for a credit on future development fees. Mayor Demsher said that the City Code does not have a provision for exchange of development fees for land. The City Attorney concurred. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Fulton that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes In a discussion of the issues, Council asked for clarification as to the location of the greenway. It was pointed out on the Vu Graph that it is on each side of Clover Creek. It was further stated that by dedicating the land to the City, it removes it from the tax rolls; however, the City does not intend to develop it as a park facility. Councilman Kirkpatrick asked about dedication of land for a park and was advised that the subdivision was proposed before enactment of the Park Land Dedication Ordinance. Councilman Pugh questioned the need for the maintenance -free invert in a natural drainage course, pointing out that such inverts are only effective for low water flows. Other members of Council indicated agreement. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton concurring with the findings contained in the Negative Declaration approved by the Planning Commission concerning Melody Manor Subdivision, Unit No. 6. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton approving the appeal of Condition 22, and denying the appeal of Conditions 1, 21, and 23 as hereinbefore enumerated. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 1 11 ENTERPRISE SWIMMING POOL AND TENNIS COURT PROJECT Parks and Recreation Director Riley reviewed his memo to Council dated August 3, 1978, giving a breakdown of allocated funds and bid figures for the Enterprise Swimming Pool and tennis courts as follows: State of California $349,800 City of Redding 65,100 Shasta Union High School District 26,000 Enterprise Business and Professional 25,500 Association 466,400 Less design fee paid 6/78 (41,200) $425,200 I.

City Manager Brickwood recommended that final action on this item be held over for consideration at the forthcoming budget sessions at which time the source of funding could be determined. Councilman Pugh favors moving ahead with this project because of the availability of State funding and also because of fast -rising construction costs. Other Council Members concurred. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that this item be considered at the upcoming budget sessions scheduled for August 9 and 14, 1978.
