Background/Analysis
The Diestelhorst Bridge and Lake Redding Bridge on the Benton Drive/North Caurt Street
alignment cross the Sacramento River on public land leased from the State of California under
the jurisdiction of the CSLC. The Diestelhorst Bridge was completed in 1915 and currently
serves as a bicycle/pedestrian bridge, In 1996, the City entered into a 25-year Lease Agreement
(Lease) with the CSLC allowing for the continued use and maintenance of the Diestelhorst
Bridge and the construction, use and maintenance of the Lake Redding Bridge which was
completed in 1997. The Lake Redding Bridge serves as a vehicle bridge with two vehicle lanes
and two bicycle/pedestrian lanes.
Report to Redding City Council Apri110,2025
Re: 4.12(b)--Approve CA State Lands Commission Lease Lake Redding Bridge and
Diestelhorst Bridge Page 2
The CSLC is requiring the City to execute the Lease for the continued use of the bridges for a
term of 20 years ending on February 28, 2045. The authorized improvements include the two
existing bridges, three-elec�ric transmission lines, one 16-inch water pipe, associated service
lines and light poles.
Bridge inspection reports performed by City staff, consultants or provided by Caltrans wi11 be
submitted to the CSLC every two years. A condition/integrity assessment of the utility lines will
be submitted prior to June 30, 2025, and once every 10 years afterward.
Environmental Review
Staff has determined that approval of a Lease is categorically exempt from review under the
California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15301-Existing Facilities. Class 1
exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor
alteration of existing facilities, structures, or topographical features involving negligible or no
expansion of use. The City will enter into a new Lease to allow for the continued use and
maintenance of the existing bridges and associated utilities. The Lease will not result in an
expansion of use, and this action has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

Paragraph 14: Conditions of Lease Termination
14.1 . Use of State Land. This Lease authorizes the use or occupation of state land
for a fixed term of years without options or rights of renewal. Lessee accepts
that future leases authorizing the continued existence of any Improvements
constructed or maintained by �essee on the Lease Premises are subject to a
discretionary action of the California State Lands Commission. S�bmission of an
application for a new lease does not guarantee a new lease will be granted to
�essee. Lessee acknowledges that construction of Improvements on the Lease
Premises and investment in or obtaining financing for the uses authorized under
this Lease is done in fvll understanding that future leases are not guaranteed.
�essee also affirmatively represents that the cost of removing Improvements
was considered before entering into this Lease and placing or assuming any
Improvements on state land.
14.2. Abandonment. Lessee's right of access to the Lease Premises was a
material consideration in Lessor iss�ing this Lease. If, without prior notice to
�essor, Lessee selis, abandons, or loses title to the upland property adjacent to
the �ease Premises, or otherwise loses the legal right to access the Lease
Premises, Lessor may deem this an abandonment of the Lease Premises. Lessee
must actively maintain and manage any Improvements authorized by this
Lease. Should Lessee discontinue use, management, or maintenance of the
authorized Improvements, Lessor may deem this an abandonment and elect to
terminate the Lease. Alternately, Lessor has the remedy described in California
Civil Code section 1951 .4 (Lessor may continue lease in effect after Lessee's
breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due if Lessee has
right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitation). Abandonment of
the Lease Premises shall not relieve Lessee of any obligations under this Lease.
14.3. Restoration. In issuing this Lease it is �essor's understanding that all
Improvements will be removed from state land at the expiration or termination
of this Lease. If Lessee abandons the Lease Premises, or Lessor terminates this
�ease, or this Lease expires without execution of a new lease authorizing
�essee's use of the �ease Premises, Lessee must: 1) remove all Improvements
regardless of whether Lessee constructed or placed Improvements together
with all debris at its sole expense and risk, restoring the Lease Premises to as
close as possible to an unimproved condition to Lessor's satisfaction; and 2)
immediately surrender possession of the Lease Premises. Lessor may, in its sole
discretion, allow all or any portion of the Improvements to remain in place. In
Page 17 of 22 Form51 .16 (Rev. 4/24)
carrying out this obligation, Lessee acknowledges that further authorizations,
review of the Restoration Plan, and environmental review may be necessary as
outlined in Section 14.4 below.
14.4. Two Years Prior to Expiration. (A) If �essee desires to continue the uses
authorized under this Lease, Lessee shall submit an application together with all
required fees at least two years prior to the expiration of this Lease. Submission
of an application does not guarantee a new lease will be granted to Lessee.
(B) If Lessee does not desire to occupy the Lease Premises beyond the term of
this Lease, then two years prior to the expiration of this Lease, �essee shall
submit an application, incl�ding a detailed plan to remove all Improvements
and restore the Lease Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation
or construction of any Improvements. The plan must include a timeline for
obtaining all necessary permits. The restoration plan may require a subsequent
environmental review and approval from Lessor. (Cj Lessor may modify annual
rent, surety and insurance within the last two years of the Lease.
14.5. Failure to Restore Lease Premises. Lessee's failure to remove improvements,
restore the Lease Premises, or surrender possession of fihe Lease Premises at the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease shall nofi constitute a renewal or
extension and shall not give �essee any rights in or to the �ease Premises or any
part thereof. �essee shall not be entitled to any compensation for
Improvements left on the Lease Premises at the termination or expiration of this
�ease. Lessor may, in its sole discretion, elect to treat the Improvements as
abandoned and remove all or any portion of Improvements from the Lease
Premises. �essee's failure to adequately restore the �ease Premises imposes
significant financial liability on Lessor. As a result, Lessee shall be responsible for
all expenses incurred by Lessor in restoring the �ease Premises, including,
without limitation, staff time, environmental work or permitting, contractor costs,
and reasonable attorney's fees.
14.6. Holdover. This �ease terminates witho�t f�rther notice at the end of its term.
�essor may, in its sole discretion, choose to accept Rent for the Lease Premises
and allow a period of holdover tenancy. Any holdover tenancy shall be on a
month-to-month basis. Lessee's submittal of annual rent during holdover does
not constitute tenancy longer than month-to-month. Any holdover tenancy shall
be on the same terms as this �ease insofar as such terms can be applicable to a
month-to-month tenancy. The rent for each month or any portion thereof d�ring
such holdover period is one hundred fifty percent (150%) of one-twelfth (1/12) of
Page 18 of 22 Form51 .16 (Rev. 4/24)
the total compensation for the most recent year paid. The month-to-month
tenancy may be terminated by �essor upon thirty (30) calendar days' prior
written notice to Lessee.
14J. Holdover on I.eases with No Monetary Consideration. In the event this
�ease does not require monetary consideration, 14.6 shall continue to apply,
and in addition: 1) �essor shail have the right to establish rent based on the fair
market value of the Lease Premises, and 2) In no way shall the prior lease
consideration limit damages for trespass.
14.8. Quitclaim. In the event this Lease is terminated prior to expiration, Lessee
shall deliver a quitclaim of all rights under this �ease to Lessor on request. Lessee
shall exec�te and deliver such quificlaim to Lessor in a form provided by Lessor.
Should Lessee fail or ref�se to deliver such a release, Lessor may record a written
notice reciting such failure or refusal. This written notice shall, from the date of its
recordation, be conclusive evidence against �essee of the termination of this
�ease and all other claimants.
Paragraph 15: Additional Provisions
15.1 . Conflict in Terms. In the case of any conflict between these General
Provisions and Special Provisions found in Section 2, the Special Provisions
control.
15.2. Boundaries. This Lease does not establish the State's boundaries in so far as
it relates to land and resource jurisdiction and ownership and is made without
prejudice to either party regarding any land and water boundary or title claims
which may be asserted presently or in the future.
15.3. No Waiver. Lessor's acceptance of a late or nonconforming performance
shall not constitute a waiver unless such waiver is expressly acknowledged by
�essor in writing. Lessor's delay in or omission to exercise any right under this
�ease shall not constitute a waiver.
15.4. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence for this �ease and each and
all of its terms, covenants or conditions in which performance is a factor.
15.5. Notice. All notices required to be given under this �ease shall be given in
writing, sent by U.S. Mail or other rep�table private carrier with postage prepaid,
to Lessor at the offices of the State �ands Commission and the �essee at the
address specified in this Lease. Lessor's staff and �essee may agree to accept
any notice by electronic mail. Lessee shall give �essor notice of any change in its
Page 19 of 22 Form51 .16 (Rev. 4/24)
name or address.
15.6. Consent. Lessor's consent to one transaction or event shall not be deemed
to be a consent to any subsequent occurrence.
15.7. Changes. This Lease may only be amended, revised, or supplement by
written agreement of the Parties.
15.8. Joint and Several Obligation. If more than one Lessee is a party to this
�ease, the obligations of the Lessees shall be joint and several.
15.9. Captions. The section and paragraph captions �sed in this Lease are for
the convenience of the Parties. The captions are not controlling and shall have
no effect upon the construction or interpretation of this Lease.
15.10. Severability. If any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease is
determined by a court of competent j�risdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and each term and
provision of this Lease shall remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
15.1 1 . Representations. Lessee agrees that no representations have been made
by �essor or by any person or agent acting for Lessor except those stated in this
�ease. This document contains the entire agreement of the Parties. No verbal
agreements, representations, warranties, or other understandings affect this
�ease. Lessor and Lessee, as a material part of the consideration of this �ease,
waive all claims against the other for rescission, damages, or otherwise by reason
of any alleged covenant, agreement, or understanding not contained in this
Lease.
15.12. Gender and Plurality. In this Lease, words imporfiing any gender include
any or all genders, and the singular number includes the plural whenever the
context so requires.
15.13. Survival of Certain Covenants. All covenants pertaining to bond,
insurance, indemnification, restoration obligations, breach or remedies shall
s�rvive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease �ntil Lessee has fulfilled
all obligations to restore the Lease Premises as required by this Lease.
15.14. Counterparts. This agreement may be exec�ted in any number of
counterparts and by different Parties in separate counterparts.

and the staff of the Commission. The ability of staff of the Commission to give
consent, or take other discretionary actions described herein will be as
described in the then-current delegation of authority to Commission staff. All
other powers are reserved to the Commission.
15.16. Successors. The terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease shall
extend to and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors,
and assigns of the respective parties.
