Re: 6.2--Rezoning Application RZ-2024-01015, by the City of Redding Page 2
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 at a future Council meeting.
Background/Analysis
Under consideration are minor "cleanup" amendments to the text of the Redding Zoning Code.
Similar minor text cleanup amendments are typically processed on an annual basis; the most
recent amendments were adopted by the Council in April 2024. The proposed amendments are
minor in nature and are primarily intended to clarify the intent of the existing regulations and
comply with federal law.
On September 24, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended that the Council adopt the
proposed amendments.
The proposed text amendments are summarized below:
Section 712.160: Amend the type of permit required for dog kennels from a use permit to a site
development permit to be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance, Title 18;
Section 18.01.050: Correct a typo in the Base Zoning Districts table;
Section 18.15.040: Correct a typo in the required findings for zoning exceptions;
Section 18.26: Amend the Residential Density Bonus Chapter to comply with state law;
Section 18.36.030: Add Golf Courses as a use allowed with a Use Permit in the "PF" Public
Facilities Zoning District;
Section 18.41.100: Reinsert standards requiring shade trees within parking lot areas which were
inadvertently eliminated in a previous code clean up;
Sections 18.42.030: Reformat notes applicable to maximum sign area allowances. To further
allow for larger temporary banners without a discretionary permit thereby increasing the size
criteria from 24 square feet to 50 square feet; and
Section 18.48.030: Correct the reference to the appropriate setback schedule for River/Creek
Corridor Development Standards.
Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the preparation of an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration
prepared for the Redding Zoning Code is appropriate under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) for the proposed Redding Zoning Code amendments. The preparation of an
addendum to a previously adopted environmental document is specifically provided for under
CEQA to address minor technical changes to a previously approved project that do not alter the
�ndings and determinations of the adopted environmental document.

kennels are subject to business license requirements as set in Title 6 — Business Taxes,
Licenses and Regulations. No kennel license shall be issued without approval of a Site

Permits. The Director or his/her designee shall not issue such permit other than through the
procedures as established in the Zoning Regulations of the City. The Director or his/her
designee shall have the discretion to limit, condition or restrict any permit issued in any
way the Director or his/her designee deems necessary under the circumstances with regard
to location, neighborhood, noise, sanitation, proper planning and any other factor deemed
relevant by the Director or his/her designee. Any such permit sha11 be revocable at any time
by the Director or his/her designee at the discretion of the Director or his/her designee.

resolution of the City Council. The Site Development Permit by Director, together with
satisfactory evidence of current rabies vaccinations, sha11 be presented to the city clerk
prior to issuance of the kennel license.
C. Because of the need to adequately protect animals within kennels from unhealthy
conditions and practices, and the interest of the public in preventing inhumane practices,
reasonable inspections by the city shall be completed. As a condition of the issuance of a
kennel license, each operator shall agree to a11ow such inspection. Such acknowledgment
shall be made part of the application and file. Each kennel for which a kennel license has
been issued shall be inspected at intervals determined by the city.
D. Any kennel which is found by the city to be unsanitary or a menace to animal ar public
health, safety or welfare is declared to be a public nuisance. In the event immediate action
is necessary to preserve or protect animal or public health, safety or welfare, the city is
authorized and empowered to summarily abate such nuisance by any reasonable means,
including but not limited to,impoundment of the animal(s)or the immediate closure of the
kennel, or both, for such time until the nuisance is abated.

18.26.030 Definitions
18.26.040 Eligibility for Density Bonus
18.26.050 Application Requirements

18.26.100 Affordable Housing Agreement Required
18.26.110 Administrative Fee

18.26.010 Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to provide incentives, consistent with State law,for the construction
of housing units that are affordable to very-low,low-, and moderate-income households.A density
bonus is an increase over the otherwise maximum residential density allowable under the Zoning
Ordinance and the General Plan. It provides developers an opportunity to increase the number of
units within a proposed residential development in exchange for including within the project a
specified number of units that are affordable to very low-, low-, ar moderate-income persons and
families. The density bonus provides a private market incentive to encourage the development of
affordable housing in Redding. State 1aw also allows the City to provide incentives other than, or
in addition to, an increase in density if requested by an applicant. Accordingly, the purposes of
this chapter are to:
A. Establish procedures for allowing an increase in density above the maximum residential
density allowed by the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
B. Provide for flexibility in applying zoning regulations and development standards in order
to facilitate the development of affordable housing.
C. Provide incentives to developers to encourage the inclusion of affordable housing within
residential projects.
D. Implement the goals and policies of the General Plan relative to providing housing
opportunities and meeting community housing needs.
18.26.020 Incorporation of State Regulations
The density bonus provisions of California Government Code (CGC) Sections 65915-65918
(State Density Bonus Law), as may be amended from time to time, are incorporated by reference
into this chapter. In instances where the provisions of State Density Bonus Law are more
restrictive than this chapter, the City reserves the right to review applications for a density bonus
in accordance with the aforementioned CGC Sections. Pursuant to state law, the granting of a
density bonus or the granting of a density bonus together with an incentive{s) (e.g. concessions,
waiver or modification of development standards) shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to
require a general plan amendment, specific plan amendment, or rezone.
18.26.030 De�nitions
For the purposes of this chapter, the following words and phrases sha11 have the following
meanings and are in addition to the definitions contained in CGC 65915.
A. "Affordable Housing Agreement" is defined as a legally binding agreement between a
developer and the City to ensure that the density bonus requirements of this Chapter are
satisfied. The agreement establishes the number and type of affordable units, affordability
tenure, and the terms and conditions of affordability.
B. "Density Bonus" is defined as an increase in density over the otherwise maximum
allowable gross residential density under the applicable General Plan designation and/or
zoning district as of the date of filing of a request far a density bonus with the City. If
elected by the applicant, a density bonus also includes requests for a lesser percentage of
density increase, including,but not limited to, no increase in density based on a request for
approval only of development incentives or waiver/modification of development standards
necessary to achieve project affordability for lower income individuals or families.
C. "Development Standard" is defined as the site, development, or construction standards
and/or conditions of approval that apply to a residential development.
D. "Incentive" is defined as a reduction in any site development standard or a modi�cation
of Zoning Code requirements or architectural design requirements that exceed the
minimum building standards approved by the California Building Standards Commission.
One or more incentives can be requested by the applicant in accordance with Section
18.26.070. The term "incentive" includes the term "concession" as that term is used in
California Government Code Section 65915(k)(1).
E. "Waiver/1VIodification of Development Standards" is defined as eliminating or
modifying a development standard that would have the effect of physically precluding the
construction of a development at the density or with the incentive(s) permitted by this
chapter.
18.26.040 Projects Eligible for a Density Bonus

by right, subject to the City's application and processing requirements contained in Section
18.26.050. At the City's sole discretion, and consistent with state law,nothing in this section shall
be construed to prohibit the City from granting a density bonus greater than afforded by CGC
65915 or from granting a proportionately lower density bonus for developments that do not meet
the requirements of this chapter. In calculating the number of units required for very low-, low-,
and moderate-income households, the density bonus units shall not be included as illustrated in
the following example.
Example: P�oposed const�uction of 100-unit apartment development. Developer requests a
density bonus and agrees to reserve S percent of the units as very low-income units.
100 units x 5 pe�cent very low-income= S ve�y low-income units
100 units x 20 percent density bonus = 20 bonus units (of which S must be
available as very low-income units)
18.26.070 Incentives and Waiver/Modification of Development Standards
A. Eligibility for Incentives. Incentives are available to a housing developer as specified in
CGC Section 65915. At its sole discretion, the City may grant incentives that exceed CGC
Section 65915 requirements, including providing incentives in cases where bonus units are
not being requested in order to facilitate development of affordable housing units.
B. Available Incentives. Incentives may include, but are not limited to:
1. A reduction in site development standards, such as:
a. Reduced minimum lot sizes and/or dimensions.
b. Reduced minimum building setbacks.
c. Reduced minimum common outdoor ancUor private outdoor living area.
d. Increased maximum lot coverage.
e. Increased maximum building height.
f. Reduced on-site parking requirements.
2. A density bonus greater than the minimum required by CGC Section 65915.
3. Other regulatory incentives proposed by the developer or the City that result in
identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions.
4. Approval of mixed-use zoning in conjunction with the housing development if:
(1) commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses will reduce the cost of the
housing development; and(2)the commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses
are compatible with the housing development and the existing or planned future
development in the area where the proposed project will be located.
C. Waiver/Modi�cation of Development Standards. Pursuant to Government Code
Section 65915(e)(1), an applicant may request a waiver or reduction of a development
standard that would otherwise physically preclude the construction of a development at the
density or with the incentive(s) permitted by this chapter. Such standards, include, but
are not necessarily limited to, those described in Section B (Available Incentives) above.
18.26.080 General Development Criteria
The following criteria shall apply to housing development projects that have received bonus
density units in accordance with this chapter:

rendering the development unaffordable to very low-, low-, and moderate-income
households. Specific adverse impact means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and
unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety
standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was
deemed complete.

18.26.100 Affordable Housing Agreement Required
A. Form and Content of Agreement. The applicant shall submit an Affordable Housing
Agreement (AHA) for City review. The form of the AHA will vary, depending on the
manner in which the provisions of this chapter are satisfied for a particular development.
For example, an affordable housing development may utilize public funding sources that
require long-term affordability, monitoring, and reporting consistent with this chapter. In
such cases, the requirements of such program may be sufficient, and an AHA may not be
required. The form and content of the AHA (or equivalent document) shall be subject to
the review and approval of the City Attorney. The AHA shall be recorded as a restrietion
on the parcel or parcels on which the affordable housing units will be constructed. The
approval and recordation of the AHA shall take place prior to any final map being recorded

parcel or units. The AHA shall be binding on all future owners and successors in interest.
An AHA must include, at a minimum, the following:
B. Continued Affordability. The AHA shall include the procedures and mechanisms
proposed by the developer to maintain the continued affordability of a11 affordable housing
units, whether rental or ownership units. An applicant sha11 agree to, and the City shall
ensure, continued affordability of all very low-and low-income units that qualified the
applicant for the award of the density bonus for 55 years, or a longer period of time if
required by the construction or mortgage-financing assistance program, mortgage-
insurance program, or rental-subsidy program. Rents for very-1ow and low-income units
shall be set at an affordable rent as defined in CGC Section 65015, Owner-occupied units
shall be available at an affordable housing cost as defined in CGC Section 65015.
18.26.110 Administrative Fee
An administrative fee may be established by the City Council for City review of al1 materials
submitted in accordance with this chapter and for ongoing enforcement of its provisions.
18.26.120 Violation of Affordable Housing Cost Requirements

been charged to a tenant residing in an affordable rental unit, the City may take the appropriate
1ega1 action to recover, and the rental unit owner shall be obligated to pay to the tenant (or to the
City in the event the tenant cannot be located), any excess rent charges. In the event it is
determined that a sales price in excess of that allowed by operation of this chapter has been charged
to an income-eligible household purchasing an affordable ownership unit, the City may take the
appropriate legal action to recover, and the affordable residential unit seller shall be obligated to
pay to the purchaser(or to the City in the event the purchaser cannot be located),any sales proceeds
deter�nined to be in excess of the affordable price.

Seetion 6. Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.41 (Off-Street Parking), Section 18.41.100
(Screening and Landscape) is hereby amended to read as follows:
18.41.100 Screening and Landscape
A. Fencing. In order to reduce or eliminate headlight glare and loss of privacy, newly
constructed outdoor off-street parking areas that cause vehicle headlights to be cast upon a
neighboring residential window or a vacant lot in a residential district shall be screened
with a masonry wall or a solid wooden fence not less than 4 feet in height. Said screening
shall be maintained in good condition at all times, shall be kept free at a11 times of
advertising signs, and shall be set back from any abutting public street a distance equal to
the distance which such parking area must be set back from any abutting public street.
No wall sha11 be required where there exists a wa11 that complies with the requirements of
this paragraph, either on the common property line or adjacent thereto, on either side of the
common property 1ine, provided, however, that if such wall is thereafter removed, a
replacement wall shall be required forthwith from the owner of the parking facility.
Where a wood fence is substituted for a solid masonry wall, such fence sha11 be constructed
so that the boards overlap or are otherwise designed such that a person cannot see through
them as a result of subsequent shrinkage. The fence shall have fence posts of either wood
treated to resist rot and termites or of iron, steel, or masonry; and in all cases, fence posts
must be set in concrete. Under no circumstances shall walls,fences,or shrubbery be placed
or maintained on the property in such a manner as to interfere with visibility so as to
endanger safe ingress and egress. As an alternative to a fence, an earth berm, or earth berm
and wall, can be substituted for the required fence.
B. Street-Side Planter. The required front and corner side-yard setbacks shall be landscaped.
Notwithstanding the setback requirements established by this ordinance, where a parking
lot abuts a 2-lane public street, it shall be separated therefrom by a planter not less than ten
(10) feet in width. Where a parking lot abuts a 4-lane-or-more public street or a street
designated on the General Plan as a 4-lane-or-more arterial street, it shall be separated
therefrom by a planter not less than 15 feet in width. In commercial districts, landscaped
setbacks from
non-access State highways shall average no less than twenty(20) feet (15 feet minimum).
Planter-width requirements are as measured from the property line. Planter-width
minimums can be met using variable widths and may encroach into setback areas provided
that the average width meets the minimum-width requirements as determined by the
Development Services Director. If the sidewalk on the street is not adjacent to the property
line, the area between the back of the sidewalk and the property line shall also be
landscaped in addition to the above requirements. Public sidewalks may be located within
the on-site landscape areas. Wherever the Zoning Code or more restrictive requirement of
the City requires a greater-width planter than the above minimum, the greater requirement
shall prevail.
The landscape planter between the parking facility and the street shall include shrubs that
will attain a minimum height of three (3) feet above parking lot grade within eighteen(18)
months of installation. The plant materials and spacing shall be adequate to effectively
screen the parking facility from the street. City-approved street trees shall be planted
within the street-side planter on thirty (30) foot centers or in groupings approved by the
Development Services Director.
As an alternative to plants alone, the following other techniques may be used:
1. Grass-covered berm a minimum of three (3) feet in height with a slope not steeper
than 3:l.A three(3)foot-high, open decorative fence in combination with climbing
and nonclimbing plants.
3. A three (3) foot-high, minimum four (4) inch-thick, decorative solid masonry or
concrete wall at the back of the planter with a ground cover and/or other plants
between the wall and the street.
4. Vegetation or screening of any type �����-�
shall not exceed two(2)feet in height ���
within areas where adequate vehicle ��� ��������' �
sight distance would otherwise be ��� � � � � �
obstructed. Where such screening is f �
adjacent to a street corner or �°t �"� ���
driveway intersection, screening �
shall not exceed two(2)feet in height ��
in the triangle formed by the corner ���
and points at the curb thirty (30) feet ��� �
from the intersection or similar ���������������
corner points within twenty (20) feet ��������������������������
of a driveway intersection.
C. Shade Trees. Shade trees shall be planted in the parking lot at a ratio of one tree for every
four(4) spaces. Trees shall be dispersed on a generally equal basis throughout the parking
lot to maximize the shading effect on the parking stalls. The landscape planter providing
for any required tree shall have a minimum area of seventy-two (72) square feet and a
minimum width of six (6) feet. To qualify as parking lot shade trees, the tree must be of a
species and variety with an ultimate height and canopy that wi11 provide a shading effect,
and the trees must be within seven-and-one-half('7.5) feet of a parking space ar driveway
aisle and must not be located within the public right-of-way. A parking space shall not be
more than fifty(50) feet from a shade tree. The planting plans shall be submitted with the
building permit application and sha11 illustrate how the trees are to be irrigated and
protected. The minimum size of each tree to be planted shall be a fifteen (15) gallon size.
In those instances where parking is proposed underground or within a building, the tree to
parking space ratio shall be 1:10. Said trees shall be planted within street-frontage planters
or within other landscaped areas in the development.
D. Parking Lot Interior Landscape. The interior of a11 parking lots is to be]andscaped at a
ratio of sixty (60) square feet of landscape for each required parking space. For each
additional space provided that exceeds the minimum parking requirement by more than
five (5) spaces, or ten percent (10%), whichever is greater, eighty (80) square feet of
landscape shall be provided for each excess space. The total required interior landscape
area shall be evenly distributed throughout the parking areas. This requirement does not
apply to parking lots that are underground or within buildings. Landscape areas that may
be applied towards the required parking lot interior landscape area must have a minimum
dimension of four (4) feet, be surrounded by or within seven-and-one-half(7.5) feet of a
parking space or the aisle or pedestrian walkway serving it, or be within the required
streetside landscape area adjacent to a parking space or aisle serving it. Landscape within
a public right-of-way or in excess of the required streetside landscape addressed in
Subsection B does not count toward meeting the minimum requirement. No more than
twelve(12)parking spaces may be constructed in a row without separating the spaces with
a landscape planter a minimum of eight(8) feet in width. Rows of parking spaces shall be
separated from adjoining driveways with landscape end islands or peninsulas that are a
minimum width of eight (8) feet. When calculating landscape area or width minimums,
the area of the protective curbing shall not be included.
E. Pavement Edge and Planter Protection. Landscaped areas and pavement edges in all
multiple-family, commercial, and industrial zones shall be protected from damage and
deterioration by the placement of six(6)inch-high, securely anchored, continuous concrete
curbs or equivalent materials which have a minimum width of six (6)inches.
F. Building Separators. Excepting single-family residences and second dwelling units,
parking spaces directly abutting a building are prohibited. Parking areas shall be separated
from a building by a raised walkway or landscape at least four(4) feet in width.
Section 7. Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.42 (Signs), Section 18.42.030 (General
Standards) is hereby amended to read as follows:
18.42.030 General Standards
A. Maximum Sign Area for Each Lot. Except in the "RL," "RE," "RS," 'RM," and "PF"
Districts, the maximum sign area for each lot sha11 be based on the scaled relationship
between the lot's street frontage and area in accordance with the sign-area limitations of
the lot's zoning district as established in Schedule 18.42.030-A. The most restrictive of the
lot's frontage and area shall determine the maximum sign area for the entire lot. The
mathematical expressions for determining this area shall be as follows: starting with a
street frontage of fifty(50) feet and area of six-thousand-five-hundred(6,500) square feet,
for each twenty (20) feet of additional street frontage (on the same street) together with
each two-thousand (2,000) square feet of lot area, additional increments of sign area
according to the zoning districts noted in the schedule shall be permitted to face any one
adjacent street in any one direction provided that no sign or cluster of signs on the 1ot shall
exceed the maximum sign area for any one sign as set forth in Schedule 1$.42.030-B of
this section. The incremental sign-area increases are uniform except for the "LO" and
"GO" districts, where the increase ceases at a maximum sign area of two-hundred (200)
square-feet for a lot with a frontage of six hundred and ten (610) feet or an area of sixty-
two-thousand-six-hundred (62,600) square feet; thereafter, regardless of the frontage and
lot area,the maximum sign area shall be two-hundred(200) square feet. Ten percent(10%)
of the allowable sign area per lot shall be reserved for temporary promotional advertising
including banners and window-painted signs. Maximum sign area allowed in the
residential and public facilities districts noted above shall be based on the allowable sign
type/size as indicated in Schedule 18.42.030-B. The allowable type and size shall be
established by administrative sign permit or, in the case of new development, by the site
development permit or use permit required by Chapter 18.36.
1. "Street Frontage" does not include streets or State highways from which the
property cannot take legal access. This includes Interstate 5 and its on-/off-ramps;
State Routes 299, 44, and 273; and local streets where access rights have been
waived.
2. Multiple parcel shopping center and similar developments shall be considered a
single parcel for the purpose of determining the maximum a]lowable sign area.
3. If the lot does not have street frontage, then the lot-axea column of Schedule
18.42.030-A shall be used to determine the maximum sign area per lot.

dedicated to the City as an open-space easement.
3. Subdivision maps: dedicated to the City as an open-space easement or dedicated
"in fee" to the City.
B. The average buffer widths depicted in Schedule 18.20.020-A may be increased by the
approving authority if necessary to protect environmental resources as determined through
the project environmental impact determination process.
C. Where Chapter 18.51, "FP" Floodplain Overlay District, requires greater setbacks or
dedications than shown in Schedule 18.48.020-A,the greater setbacks or dedications shall
prevail.
D. No structure, parking access, parking space, paved area, fence, swimming pool, structure,
or other improvements shall be constructed within a buffer area except the installation of
approved public facility infrastructure.

improvements is acceptable subject to review of environmental impacts and identification
of any necessary mitigation measures.
F. Where constructed drainage devices and improvements are required, they shall be placed
in the least visible locations and naturalized through the use of river rock, earth-tone
concrete and/or native plant materials.
Section 9. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
Ordinance is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unconstitutional, such decision sha11 not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the
ordinance. The City Council of the City of Redding hereby declares that it would have passed this

18.26.010 Purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to provide incentives, consistent with State Iaw, for the construction.
of housing units that are affordable to very-low,low-, and moderate-income households.A density
bonus is an increase over the otherwise maximum residential density allowable under the Zoning
Ordinance and the General Plan. It provides developers an opportunity to increase the number of
units within a proposed residential development in exchange for including within the project a
specified number of units that are affordable to very low-, low-, or moderate-income persons and
families. The density bonus provides a private market incentive to encourage the development of
affordable housing in Redding. State law also allows the City to provide incentives other than, or
in addition to, an increase in density if requested by an applicant. Accordingly, the purposes of
this chapter are to:
-��a Establish procedures for allowing an increase in density above the maximum residential
density allowed by the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
��. Provide for flexibility in applying zoning regulations and development standards in order to
� facilitate the development of affordable housing.
�-C�. Provide incentives to developers to encourage the inclusion of affordable housing within
residential projects.
�-��. Implement the goals and policies of the General Plan relative to providing housing
opportunities and meeting community housing needs.
18.26.020 Incorporation of State Regulations
The density bonus provisions of California Government Code C�'C�C;_ Sections 65915-65918
(State Density Bonus Law), as may be amended from time to time, are incorporated by reference
into this chapter. In instances where the provisions of State Density Bonus Law are more
restrictive than this chapter, the City reserves the right to review applications for a density bonus

4. Approval of the incentives is not contrary to state or federal law.
18.26. _ 1�C� Affordable flousing Agreement Required
�.. Form and Content of Agreement. The applicant shall submit an Affordable Housing
Agreement(AI IA)for City review. The form of the AHA will vary,depending on the manner
in which the provisions of this chapter are satisfied for a particular development. For
example, an affordable housing development may utilize public funding sources that require
long-term affordability,monitoring,and reporting consistent with this chapter. Tn such cases,
the requirements of such program may be sufficient, and an AHA may not be required. The
form and content of the AHA (or equivalent document) sha11 be subject to the review and
approval of the City Attorney. The AHA shall be recorded as a restriction on the parcel or
parcels on which the affordable housing units will be constructed. The approval and
recordation of the AI�A shal] take place prior to any final map being recorded or, where a

The AHA shall be binding on all future owners and successors in interest. An AHA must
incl�ude, at a minimum, the following:
�-:�. Continued Affordability. The AHA sha11 include the procedures and mechanisms proposed
� by the developer to maintain the continued affordability of all affordable housing units,
whether rental or ownership units. An applicant shall agree to, and the City shall ensure,
continued affordability of all very low-and low-income units that qualified the applicant for
the award of the density bonus for��5 years, or a longer period of time if required by the
construction or mortgage-financing assistance program, mortgage-insurance program, or
rental-subsidy program. Rents for very-low and 1ow-income units shall be set at an affordable
rent as defined in �'@�°���-�� ��°� ��'CaC'_����i��� ��01 S. Owner-occupied
units shall be available at an affordable housing cost as defined in �--���° '�,'���.�'?�' ,��'�°�;�

18.41.100 Screening and Landscape
A. Fencing. In order to reduce or eliminate headlight glare and loss of privacy, newly
constructed outdoor off-street parking areas that cause vehicle headlights to be cast upon a
neighboring residential window or a vacant 1ot in a residential district shall be screened with
a inasonry wall or a solid wooden fence not less than 4 feet in height. Said screening sha11
be maintained in good condition at all times, shall be kept free at all times of advertising
signs, and shall be set back from any abutting public street a distance equal to the distance
which such parking area must be set back from any abutting public street.
No wall shall be required where there exists a tivall that complies with the requirements of
this paragraph, either on the common property line or adjacent thereto, on either side of the
common property line, provided, however, that if such wall is thereafter removed, a
replacement wall shall be required forthwith from the owner of the parking facility.
Where a wood fence is substituted for a solid masonry wa11, such fence sha11 be constructed
so that the boards overlap or are otherwise designed such that a person cannot see through
them as a result of subsequent shrinkage. The fence shall have fence posts of either wood
treated to resist rot and termites or of iron, steel, or masonry; and in all cases, fence posts
must be set in concrete. Under no circumstances shall walls, fences, or shrubbery be placed
or maintained on the property in such a manner as to interfere with visibility so as to endanger
safe ingress and egress. As an alternative to a fence, an earth berm, or earth berm and wall,
can be substituted for the required fence.
B. Street-Side Pianter. The required front and corner side-yard setbacks shall be landscaped.
Notwithstanding the setback requirements established by this ordinance, where a parking lot
abuts a 2-lane public street, it shall be separated therefrom by a planter not less than ten (10)
feet in width. Where a parking lot abuts a 4-lane-or-more public street or a street designated
on the General Plan as a 4-1ane-or-more arterial street, it shall be separated therefrom by a
planter not less than 15 feet in width. I�n commercial districts, landscaped setbacks from
non-access State highways shall average no less than twenty (20) feet (15 feet minimum).
Planter-width requirements are as measured from the property line. Planter-width minimums
can be met using variable widths and may encroach into setback areas provided that the
average width meets the minimum-width requirements as determined by the Development
Services Director. If the sidewalk on the street is not adjacent to the property line, the area
between the back of the sidewalk and the property line shall also be landscaped in addition
to the above requirements. Public sidewalks may be located within the on-site landscape
areas. Wherever the Zoning Code or more restrictive requirement of the City requires a
greater-width planter than the above minimum, the greater requirement shall prevail.
The landscape planter between the parking facility and the street shall include shrubs that
will attain a minimum height of three (3) feet above parking lot grade within eighteen (18)
months of installation. The plant materials and spacing shall be adequate to effectively screen
the parking facility from the street. City-approved street trees shall be planted within the
street-side planter on thirty (30) foot centers or in groupings approved by the Development
Services Director.
As an alternative to plants alone, the following other techniques may be used:
l. Grass-covered berm a minimum of three (3) feet in height with a slope not steeper than
3:1. A three (3) foot-high, open decorative fence in combination with climbing and
nonclimbing plants.
3. A three (3) foot-high, minimum four (4) inch-thick, decorative solid masonry or
concrete wall at the back of the planter with a ground cover and/or other plants between
the wall and the street.
4. Vegetation or screening of any type sha11 �-�����
not exceed two (2) feet in height within ���
areas where adequate vehicle sight �� �������` �,
distance would otherwise be obstructed. � � � � � � �
Where such screening is adjacent to a � �
street corner or driveway intersection, ���� �° �"� � ��� ���
screening shall not exceed two (2) feet in �
height in the triangle formed by the corner ���
and points at the curb thirty(30) feet from �
the intersection or similar corner points ��
within twenty (20) feet of a driveway ���������������
{��.�����t�v�������r����i��T}

�I)s Parl�ing Lot Interior Landseape. The interior of all parking lots is to be landscaped at a
ratio of sixty (60) square feet of landscape for each required parking space. For each
additional spaee provided that exceeds the minimum parking requirement by more than �ve
(5) spaces, or ten percent (10%), whichever is greater, eighty (80) square feet of landscape
shall be provided for each excess space. The total required interior landscape area shall be
evenly distributed throughout the parking areas. This requirement does not apply to parking
lots that are underground or within buildings. Landscape areas that may be applied towards
the required parking lot interior landscape area must have a minimum dimension of four (4)
feet,be surrounded by or within seven-and-one-half(7.5) feet of a parking space or the aisle
or pedestrian walkway serving it, or be within the required streetside landscape area adjacent
to a parking spaee or aisle serving it. Landscape within a public right-of-way or in exeess of
the required streetside landscape addressed in Subsection B does not count toward meeting
the minimum requirement. No more than twelve (12) parking spaces may be constructed in
a row without separating the spaces with a landscape planter a minimum of eight (8) feet in
width. Rows of parking spaces shall be separated from adjoining driveways with landscape
end islands or peninsulas that are a minimum width of eight (8) feet. When calculating
landscape area or width minimums, the area of the protective curbing shall not be included.
�:T;. Pavement Edge and Planter Proteetion. Landscaped areas and pavement edges in all
multiple-family, commercial, and industrial zones shall be protected from damage and
deterioration by the placement of six (6) inch-high, securely anchored, continuous conerete
curbs or equivalent materials which have a minimum width of six (6) inches.
�:�'. Building Separators. Excepting single-family residences and second dwelling units,
� parking spaces directly abutting a building are prohibited. Parking areas shall be separated
from a building by a raised walkway or landscape at least four(4) feet in width.
18.42.030 General Standards
A. Maximum Sign Area for Each Lot. Except in the "RL," "RE," "RS," "RM," and "PF"
Districts, the maximum sign area for each lot shall be based on the scaled relationship
between the lot's street frontage and area in accordance with the sign-area limitations of the
lot's zoning district as established in Schedule 18.42.030-A. The most restrictive of the lot's
frontage and area sha11 determine the maximum sign area for the entire lot. The mathematical
expressions for determining this area shall be as follows: starting with a street frontage of
fifty(50)feet and area of six-thousand-five-hundred(6,500) square feet, for each twenty(20)
feet of additional street frontage(on the same street)together with each two-thousand(2,000)
square feet of lot area, additional increments of sign area according to the zoning districts
noted in the schedule sha11 be permitted to face any one adjacent street in any one direction
provided that no sign or cluster of signs on the lot shall exceed the maximum sign area for
any one sign as set forth in Schedule 18.42.030-B of this section. The incremental sign-area
increases are uniform except for the "LO" and "GO" districts, where the increase ceases at a
maximum sign area of two-hundred(200) square-feet for a Iot with a frontage of six hundred
and ten (610) feet or an area of sixty-two-thousand-six-hundred (62,600) square feet;
thereafter, regardless of the frontage and lot area, the maximum sign area shall be
two-hundred(200) square feet. Ten percent(10%) of the allowable sign area per lot shall be
reserved for temporary promotional advertising including banners and window-painted signs.
Maximum sign area allowed in the residential and public facilities districts noted above sha11
be based on the allowable sign type/size as indicated in Schedule 18.42.030-B. The allowable
type and size sha11 be established by administrative sign permit or, in the case of new
development,by the site development permit or use permit required by Chapter 18.36.
l. "Street Frontage" does not include streets or State highways from which the property
cannot take legal access. This includes Interstate 5 and its on-/off-ramps; State Routes
299, 44, and 273; and local streets where access rights have been waived.
2. Multiple parcel shopping center and similar developments shall be considered a single
parcel for the purpose of determining the maximum allowable sign area.
3. If the lot does not have street frontage, then the 1ot-area column of Schedule
18.42.030-A shall be used to determine the maximum sign area per 1ot.

Addendum to Mitigated Negative Declaration-RZ-2024-0101 S Page 1
SETTING
The ordinance amendment pertains to properties Citywide.
DETERMINATION
The City of Redding previously prepared an Initial Study, and Mitigated Negative Declaration, for
the adoption of the Redding Zoning Code. These documents were adopted on
October 1, 2002. Based upon a review of the current amendments to the project, it has been
determined that an addendum is appropriate because the additions are minor, and none of the
following conditions (pursuant to CEQA Section 15162) have occurred:
1. Substantial changes are proposed for the project that wi11 require major revision of the
previous Mitigated Negative Declaration due to new, significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken that involve new, significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified effects.
3. New information of substantial importance indicates that:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown
in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration.
