APPROVAL OF MINUTES MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, , seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the minutes of the regular meeting of March 21, 1977 and the minutes of the adjourned regular meeting of March 28, 1977 as mailed to each Councilman. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS Shasta County Board of Supervisors Council was advised that the Shasta County Board of Supervisors has adopted Resolution No. 77-77, signifying its intention to -L-.establish County Service Area No. 4, Urban Transportation Service, for public bus transportation. Mrs. PurleyHarrison, et al Councilman Pugh abstained from discussion on this item. A communication was received from Purley Harrison, et al, re- questing to be heard on the subject of the Buenaventura project. City Attorney Murphy read his memorandum to Council dated April 1, 1977, which set forth -the projects amounts which can ?0� be paid to owners of businesses or improved rental property in the Linden Avenue area, which m.emorandum is made a part of these minutes by reference. Purley Harrison advised Council that her only income is from the grocery store and the three rental units she owns, and that she cannot replace her present business for the $21,000 she is being offered by the City. She feels the road could be routed to the north 50 to 100 feet and leave her property alone. Mayor Fulton expressed his concern but said that the engineers do not believe it is feasible to reroute the road. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Keefer A communication was received from Mr, and Mrs. Henry Keefer _ requesting that reconsideration be given to the classification of �y5 their property at 1400 Olive Street. The request to retain the J yy present density on this property was made at the Public Hearing on General Plan Amendment GPA -2-76 on March 21st, but was not approved. W, Mayor Fulton recommended reconsideration of the request as he felt that Members of Council had not had an opportunity to view the property. In a discussion of this matter it was brought out that if this re- quest were to be reconsidered it would entail a public hearing and a General Plan Amendment for one parcel. In addition, the time line for implementing the Magnolia -Court Neighborhood Plan would be considerably delayed and could result in implementation of the Plan extending beyond the moratorium deadline. It was suggested that action on this request be delayed until the issue of precise zoning occurs. Planning and Community Development Director Harris stated that, if Council is in agreement, the den- sity classification could be accomplished on subject parcel with precise zoning. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Demsher that the Keefer request be considered concurrently with precise zoning of the neighborhood. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC --HEARING - Appeal of Use Permit UP -37-77 granted to J. Bauman The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the 1 Public Hearing on Appeal of Use Permit UP -37-77 granted to Jim Bauman. 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 Memorandum from Director of Planning and Community Development dated 3/31/77 The area under consideration was shown on the Vu Graph. Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memor- andum to Council dated March 31, 1977, which memorandum is made a part of these minutes by reference. Mr. Harris stated that the primary concerns of the residents in the area who have appealed the Commission's decision are traffic on Churn Creek Road, lack of formal public street improvements, safety of school children, and overcrowding of Lassen View School. The proposed develop- ment is consistent with the Commission's past policy of allowing apartment development in areas previously zoned for such use by the County. The Commission felt the proposed project was appro- priate for the area and approved the use permit, subject to ten conditions. It is the recommendation of the Commission that the appeal be denied. In reply to Councilwoman Gard's inquiry, Mr. Harris stated that sewers are available. John Tallerico, 1085 Lorraine Drive, asked and was granted per- mission to read the following petition signed by 203 people: "PETITION TO THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF REDDING "We hereby request the City Council, City of Redding, California, to: 1. Deny U -se Permit application UP -37-77 (J. Bauman, 4030 Churn Creek Road development). 2. Suspend Churn Creek Road area building until completion of area "Master Plan." CONCERNS AND REQUESTS OF CHURN CREEK ROAD AREA RESIDENTS We are concerned that the total impact of recent multi -unit residential developments within our area (Churn Creek Road, principally between Hartnell and Hillmonte) will create financial burdens upon the City of Redding far beyond the City's ability to cope. These burdens will be reflected in decreased services and increased taxes for all City residents: As residents in the Churn Creek Road area, our concerns are many and varied: 1. _Approval of multi -unit residential development use permits on an individual basis, without regard for the total impact in the area: We have seen the development on Del Sol go to completion. Another development, south of Enterprise High School, is com- plete to the framing stage. Mr. James Bauman has been granted a permit for another development and Mr. Frank Giordano is applying for still another. We have approached the Planning Commission on three occasions to express our concerns, but have not received any help, guidance, or solutions from them. It appears that each request for use permits is being viewed as an isolated case without regard for the total impact such development may have on this area; both in relation to what has occurred before or what may occur in the future. These developments must be viewed in light of the "total picture," not just on one isolated lot at a time. 2. Increased traffic load on Churn Creek Road: We are gravely concerned with the traffic load in our area. There are no curbs, no sidewalks, no stop signs or stop lights (between boundarypoints), no crossing guards or police patrol during key periods, a 35 m.p.h. speed zone, and an ever in- creasing traffic load. We must send our children to school; our children of every grade and age. They must either walk along or cross Churn Creek Road during heavy :traffic periods. Current traffic load on Churn Creek Road is 4,962 average vehicle trips per day (based.on a December 1975 study). Using a five (5) trip per day per resident standard (Planning Department guideline), we find that another 2855 vehicle trips per day is a predictable fact: - Del Sol units (64 units x 5) 320 trips - New York Life Development (68 units) 340 trips - 4030 Churn Creek Road Development 45 trips (9 units) - If, 1100 Echo (30 units) 150 trips - South Bonnyview river crossing 2 , 000 trips (6,000 trips per day, one-third of which will use Churn Creek Rd.) 2,855 trips Where is the plan for Churn Creek Road to handle this increased traffic flow? What is the plan and when will it be implemented? Where is the money to complete a plan? The approval of use permits continues, traffic loads are increasing, yet there are no changes in traffic control. Must there be a collison or kill ratio before the City acts? Will Churn Creek Road be the next "Alta Mesa? " 3. Negative impact on the Enterprise School System We are concerned about our school system. Looking at current rates of multi -unit residential development, with the possibility of greater development, do we know what will be the impact of three to five hundred new families with school age children on present facilities? Are or can requirements be placed on builders to off- set the future educational costs brought about by this development? 4. Negative impact on utility, water, and sewage systems: Can the present utility, water, and sewage systems take care of current and future developments? If not, will we the "R -l" homeowners have to foot the bill for larger systems? 5. Lack of development of parks and recreational facilities within our area: What will be done with the remaining open land in our area? Where is a community park for children to play in this area? Will there be open space, or will we end up packed solidly together? There are at least eight large parcels of land on Churn Creek Road in this area. Will each eventually be a multi -unit residential site? Where will the children living in the e. developments have a chance to play? Is there a method by which the builder can be assessed NOW for the future community facilities his development will require? 6. Increased need for police and fire protection: With increased population and larger buildings, what is the plan for adequate police and fire protection? What will be the additional cost for this protection? These represent many of the concerns we have about our neighbor- hood. The questions raised, and many more, should have been thought out and planned for by the Planning Commission and the City Council prior to approving "random" development requests. Only in this manner can all the people and the community at large be truly represented. We the Homeowners of the Churn Creek Road area do not intend to be lost in a sea of multi -unit dwellings. Neither do we intend to be left "holding the bag" for, developments completed without regard to their effect on us as residents, homeowners, parents, tax payers, and voters: Therefore, by this petition, we hereby request: 1. Mr. Bauman's Use Permit to construct nine (9) units at 4030 Churn Creek Road be denied. 2. Further, that all multi -unit use permits. granted in this area which have. not proceeded past the grading stage be suspended. 3. That no use or building permits be granted in this area. 4. , Suspend all zoning reclassification in this area. The above suspensions in requests 2, 3, and 4 are to take place immediately and to continue for a period not to exceed 120 days. 1 1 E:VA During this period, the City is to assemble a complete, com- prehensive land usage ''Master Plan'' for this area. We further request that the questions raised in this petition be dealt with to the satisfaction of the residents within this area. Upon approval of the ''Master Plan'' by the residents, use and building permits will again be granted, but only in accordance with the Plan.'' Signatures of 203 Churn Creek Road area residents were solicited by the following residents: John A. Tallerico, Bev Bennett, John Noble, Ralph Trygstad, and Soren Jacobsen. Mr. .Tallerico added his personal statement, emphasizing the traffic problem that exists on Churn Creek Road, and which he predicts can only become worse. He also referred to sections of the County General Plan which specifies that parks will be developed and neighborhood standards established. Mr. Tallerico doesn't believe the objectives of the County General Plan are being considered before granting use permits. He. also referred to a use permit granted to a developer of 44 units, although staff members had pointed out problem areas. Ralph Trygstad, 1071 Lorraine Drive, stated that the residents are really concerned, not so much about one development but about the whole area. He said he, would like Council to come out and re- view the area in question. Ed Fruzza, 1270 Denton Drive, said he has a business on Churn Creek Road and is also concerned about the traffic. Mr. Bauman, the developer of the proposed project, stated he does not believe the project will harm the neighborhood, and feels the staff report is correct. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Demsher that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Councilman Pugh said he feels it is rather distressing to, all of a sudden,. have many residents in the area profess great concern about things that have been going on for years. He stated that these areas have been without curbs and sidewalks, improved streets, parks, etc. and suddenly residents present petitions to stop use permits for multiple family dwellings. Mr. Pugh acknowledged that the problem areas mentioned in the petition are real problems but noted that they have been problems for years. The City has hired consultants and is in the process of developing a General Plan for the Enterprise Area. In the meantime, the Planning Staff and Commission are trying to look out for everyone's interest. Mr. Pugh said that the the property owner purchased the land for the use for which it was zoned and that Council is trying to allow the developer to utilize his property to the best advantage and still look out for the future of the neighborhood. He stated that he resents the fact that in six months the petitioners want what the City has taken years to develop within the City. With respect to the use permit granted to the developer of 44 units, Mr. Pugh said the developer purchased additional property in order to obtain the use permit. Downgrading of the project was also required. M The idea of declaring a moratorium on the issuance of use permits was discussed but it was determined that it was not feasible as staff has no concept -or plan for the Enterprise Area and the development of such a plan will take approximately six months. Councilwoman Gard indicated agreement with Councilman Pugh. Mrs. Gard said she understands the pressures the residents are feeling but noted that the previous County zoning would have allowed 78 units. She added that he doubts that anyone would build three single family dwellings on subject property. She believes it is important for the citizens to have input and en- couraged those in the audience to attend BAR and Planning Commission meetings. Councilmen Demsher and Anderson concurred with the statements of Councilman Pugh and Councilwoman Gard. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Anderson approving the recommendation of the Planning Com- mission to deny the appeal.

Mr. Harris noted that the Year Three CD Program involves minor adjustments in the funding of individual projects and includes $150,000 for construction of the Ellis Street Bridge and road ex- tension. - The Discretionary Grant application is the same as originally approved by Council. Carroll Hammar questioned the source of the funds included in the applications. He was advised that the funds are part of a Community Development Grant and that Council is now approving allocation of such funds. Mr. Hammar said he was not opposed to any of the programs if they are needed, but feels the City should have a bond election.

WATER PROJECTS MODIFICATION Councilman Pugh read the Council Committee report re Water Projects Modification dated April 1, 1977. The report states that the latest in- formation indicates that continuing to take water from the Sacramento River rather than from Spring Creek is the better choice. Possible legal complexities in connection with the City's appropriative water rights if the Cityleaves the river, together with indications that the Bureau of Reclamation would make substantial staged increases in the in -lieu charges to the City for lost generation, offset the potential benefits of the Spring Creek route. Mr. Pugh noted that although this results in a bond reduction of possibly as much as $1.8 million, the City continues to face a combination of water projects requiring total ultimate bond financing of as much as $10 million, unless Federal assistance is obtained. This includes more pumps, well repairs, enlargement of existing and construction of new transmission lines, and construction of a State mandated filtration plant. Conse- quently, no reduction in the recent water rate increases can be con- templated at this time. MOTION: Made by Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the report of the Council Committee. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes POWER GENERATION Councilman Pugh reported that at a recent meeting of the Northern California Power Agency there was an item of great interest. The NCPA is looking for sources of power generation and learned that the Calaveras Water District is interested in constructing dams that will produce hydro electric power.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes GRANT APPLICATION - Enterprise Swimming Pool Planning and Community. Development Director Harris reported to Council that staff has met with representatives of the Enterprise Business and Professional Association and the Shasta Union High School District to determine the feasibility of completing the Enterprise Swimming Pool. Staff has also reviewed various funding sources that might be available for this project. Currently, the most feasible outside source is the Roberti-Z'Berg Urban Open -Space and Recreation Program adminis- tered by the State Department of Parks and Recreation. The maximum grant under this program is $350,,000. This is a 75 percent State and 25 percent local matching program. The estimated cost of construc- tion of the pool is $370,000. To date the Enterprise Business and Professional Association has raised about $25,500. The High School Dist�r.ict planned to provide the land at Enterprise High School. It is requested that staff be authorized to file an application for funds under the Roberti-Z'Berg Program and that the project application include both the pool and tennis courts (which are proposed in the Parks Department 1977-78 Budget). The total project cost is esti- mated at $464,200 and, if the grant application is approved, it would require a total of $116,050 in local funds. This local share would consist of the funds already collected for the pool by the Enterprise Business and Professional Association, funds contributed by the High School District, and approximately $64, 580 in City of Redding funds. Councilman Pugh indicated he favored this approach, noting that the City is approaching the limits of its bonding capabilities. Carroll Hammar said he wants the request denied, stating that the people have been trying to raise money for three years, and it is evident the majority of the people don't want the pool so why jam it down their throats. Councilman Anderson said he doesn't think the fact that the poeple cannot raise the money is an indication that they don't want the pool. He believes it is the wish of the people to go after grant funds. Counwilwoman Gard said she is very anxious to see this project go forward. She feels that the people have made a determined effort to obrain matching funds. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Anderson that Resolution No. 77-58 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving the application for grant funds under the Roberti-Z'Berg Open -Space and Recreation Program.
