He said the United States Bureau of Reclamation had included Whiskeytown Dam as one of several projects they were planning to do feasibility studies on to determine the economic and 1 1 1 297 technical feasibility for power generation. Recent publicity on the Congressional denial of the Bureau's request for appropriations for this project will possibly leave the site available for development by entities other than the Bureau.

Mr. Simpson said the estimated cost to file for the preliminary permit is $2500 for which funds have been budgeted under power development. Councilman Pugh said the City should not delay in getting its foot in the door on this project.

ALTA MESA PARK TENNIS COURTS Planning and Community Development Director Harris noted that at its September 27, 1978, meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission reversed its previous decision to locate the proposed tennis courts on the Alta Mesa school grounds. Because contention exists over use of the K-6 school facilities for tennis courts, the staff and Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously recommend that the decision for location of the tennis courts be reconsidered and approved for location on City property. There are State and Revenue Sharing funds allocated for this project so that it can be completed this budget year. 300 Councilman Fulton asked if funds were to be contributed by the school district. He was answered in the negative. Councilwoman Gard said that cooperative arrangements for use of facilities by schools and the public are not always harmonious.

PUBLIC HEARING - General Plan Amendment GPA -1-78, by A. R. Hiland 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 -1-78, by A. R. Hiland. 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 9/27/78 304 The Deputy City Clerk advised that no written protests had been received. Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed the Department memo to Council dated September 27, 1978, stating that at its meeting of September 12, 1978, the Planning Commission unani- mously recommended denial of General Plan Amendment Application GPA -1-78, a request to reclassify 1.25 acres located at the west end of Henry Street from three units per acre to six units per acre. The location of the property was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Harris noted that the property is located within the boundaries of the Panorama -Buenaventura Neighborhood Plan, adopted by the Council on April 3, 1978. At the hearing before the Council on the Plan, the applicant orally requested the higher density classification; however, the Council chose not to amend the Plan at that time. The amendment would reclassify the property from a three -unit -per -acre classification to a six -unit -per -acre classification. The previous General Plan depicted the property at 3.5 units per acre. Mr. Harris noted that the property is vacant. To the north and west the area is classified at three units per acre and to the south and east the property is classified at six units per acre. Access is from West Street on the northeast and Buena Vista Street on the southeast. Slope ranges from 20 percent on the west side to ten percent on the east side. Access from West Street would be in front of a small garage. West Street, north of the property, is not improved and access from Buena Vista is unfeasible due to grade. At the hearing before the Planning Commission, the applicant's attorney, Mike Wells, indicated that it was possible to obtain access from the cul-de-sac on West Street to the south of the property by acquisition of the small parcel at the end of the street next to the church. Mr. Wells also indicated that the intention of the applicant was to construct multiple -family units and that the principal access to the property would be from West Street to the south. At the public hearing before the Planning Commission, several adjoining property owners spoke against the change to a higher density. Mr. Harris said that based on slope, access and the adjoining single-family land -use pattern, it is the opinion of both the Planning Commission and the staff that the requested General Plan classification is too intense. It is the recom- mendation of the Planning Commission and the staff that Council deny the requested change. Councilman Fulton questioned why access is not available from Henry Avenue. Mr. Harris replied that it appears that there is legal access, but not a practical access because of a garage on the applicant's property that stands in the way. Kathyrn Brooks, 1725 Roanoke Avenue, representing residents on Henry Avenue, submitted a letter of protest dated October 2, 1978, signed by six residents of Henry Avenue, which letter is on file in the office of the City Clerk. In addition to the letter, Ms. Brooks stated that Henry Avenue is a quiet street and felt if it is used as an access to the applicant's parcel, it will cause a lot of unnecessary traffic and increased activity which the residents do not want. Rufus Knapp, 3425 Hillcrest Avenue, concurs with Ms. Brooks. He felt the area should be maintained single-family residential and to add additional units would cause many problems particularly with the insufficient access. He also felt the church in the area should be protected. 1 1 Lewis Schaaf, 3435 Hillcrest, concurred with Mr. Knapp. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining. Councilwoman Gard noted that the western part of the land is very steep. She said that by viewing the bare land, it appears that it would be unreasonable to construct more than one unit. The access to the parcel is on Buena Vista which is a dirt road, one -car wide, and minimal access at best. Mayor Demsher concurred that access is a major issue. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilwoman Gard that General Plan Amendment GPA -1-78, by A. R. Hiland be denied. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining PUBLIC HEARING - General Plan Amendment GPA -2-78, by Walter and John Wilson The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing on General Plan Amendment GPA -2-78, by Walter and John Wilson. 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 9/27/78 The Deputy City Clerk advised that no written protests had been received. 305 lqs' Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed the Department memo to Council dated September 27, 1978. He noted that at its regular meeting of September 12, 1978, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended denial of General Plan Amendment Application GPA -2-78, a request to reclassify property located at 1406 and 1416 Magnolia Avenue from six units per acre to nine units per acre. The area was shown on the Vu Graph. The current zoning is R-1 Single Family Residential District. Mr. Harris said it is the recommendation of both the staff and the Commission that General Plan Amendment GPA -2-78 be denied. John Wilson, 6281 Center Drive, said he owns the southerly lot and his father owns the northerly lot under consideration. He referred to an area, displayed on the Vu Graph Existing Land Use and Zoning Map, fronting on Magnolia and northerly of Butte, and including the two lots under consideration, as the "corridor." He said that during the time the General Plan for this area was being studied, the Planning Department zoned this area R-1 although only two of the six houses along that "corridor" are actually single family. He said there are existing multiple family units in that area that are not depicted on the map. These units are converted garages and have been utilized as rentals for at least the five years he has lived on the southerly lot under consideration. He stated that during the time of the General Plan process, he was out of town and not available for comment, but now opposes the plan as it was approved for his lots. He said the Planning Commission had received a protest from Mr. Marlow on Shasta Street re this General Plan Amendment, but that this complaint was initiated from a property owner not adjacent to the area under consideration. He felt there were many blocks consisting of multiple dwellings in this area and the block he is interested in isn't any different. He explained that he was particularly interested in getting the zoning changed on the northerly lot. 306 Councilman Fulton asked what existed across the street. Deputy Planning Director Perry stated that there is a 41 -unit complex across the street, and across the alley is a 4 -unit complex. Walter Wilson, 850 Locust Street, said that when he purchased his lot it was zoned R-4. He explained that he had gone along with the zoning placed on the property by the General Plan, but now desires to construct a duplex on the northerly parcel, and therefore, desires a change in zoning from R-1. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Councilman Fulton commented that it appears that many multiple units exist in this area. Mayor Demsher said that part of the reason for rezoning the area was to help eliminate some of the traffic into that neighborhood. Councilman Pugh asked what the off-street parking requirements were in R -M-6 zoning for 2 - 1 bedroom units and 2 - 2 bedroom units. Mr. Harris answered 1.5 spaces and 1.75 spaces per unit respectively. Councilman Kirkpatrick noted that the difference in the parking require- ment appears insignificant. Councilman Pugh said that it would depend upon who rents the units how much traffic will be generated, ie., students each with their own car, or a family with only one vehicle. Mr. Harris said that the lot is only 50 ft. wide and has a retaining wall on both sides which makes it a difficult lot to develop. John Wilson felt that the lot did not present any engineering problems and that access can be made from Tehama Street. Mr. Harris noted that if the single-family dwellings on the "corridor" area are, in fact, multiple units, they would be non -conforming uses. He noted that this is new evidence which has not been presented before. City Attorney Murphy said the General Plan for this area Was developed over a period of 12-15 months and from the evidence presented tonight, there have been no changes in circumstances that would warrant a General Plan Amendment. Councilwoman Gard said that the 15 -month process was not done capriciously and it concerns her that in such a short time since completion of the General Plan, consideration is requested for an amendment. Councilman Fulton felt that the R-1 zoning in this area appears arbitrary. Councilman Pugh expressed concern with the traffic that will be generated into an already congested situation. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the recommendation of staff and the Planning Commission that General Plan Amendment GPA -2-78, be denied. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Gard, Pugh, and Demsher Noes: Council Members - Fulton and Kirkpatrick Absent: Council Members - None 307 PUBLIC HEARING - Rezoning Application RZ-10-78, by Winifred Woods The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing on Rezoning Application RZ-10-78, by Winifred Woods.

Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memo to Council dated September 27, 1978. He said that at its regular meeting of September 12, 1978, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of Rezoning Application RZ-10-78, requesting rezoning of property located on the north side of Trinity Street, 1314 to 1348 Trinity Street, from "C -2-F" Central Commercial District to "C -1-F" Neighborhood Commercial District. The area was depicted on the Vu Graph. Mr. Harris said the property was zoned "C -2-F" in 1976, with the "F" site -plan -review criteria stipulating the follow- ing requirements: 1. At the time a residence is converted to a commercial use, the building is to meet the requirements of the Fire Marshal and the Building Official. 2. A minimum seven percent of the gross land area of the lot is to be landscaped. Landscaped areas are to be located on the front half of an interior lot and on the front and street side yards of a corner lot. 3. Any parking area adjacent to any "R" District is to be separated therefrom by a six-foot high, solid fence. 4. When an existing building is converted to a commercial use, the minimum off-street parking requirements are to be complied with. Mr. Harris said that it is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and the staff that the property be rezoned to "C -1-F" as requested, subject to the same site -plan review requirements. If Council concurs, it is recommended that the draft negative declaration be ratified, the prepared ordinance be offered for first reading, and that the Fire Zone Map be amended to place the subject property in a Zone 2 classification.
