Planning Director Harris showed detailed maps of Turtle Bay
Development Plan - Phase I, which is the development of a portion
of the river frontage�in Turtle Bay. A. Total of $51 , 600 of Shasta
Coun ty's s hare o f t he 1 9 6 4 S ta te His torica l Par k an d Bon d Fun d
A.ct was reserved for the City of Redding for such development
-����� which includes, imp�oving the access road between A.uditorium Drive
and the boat launch facility; development of parking areas for fishing
and picnicking; equestrian trail, and landscaping between the north
patio of the A.uditoriurn and the access road, including development
of an outdoor exhibit�area. In describing the improvements, Mr.
Harris noted that it is intended that the area remain basically rustic,
with very little turfed area. The picnic area and outdoor exhibit
area would utilize decomposed granite.
Councilman Chatfield indicated that he would prefer to eliminate
turfing entirely and keep the area in its natural state.
Parks Director Blaser said that he planned to use a low-maintenance
hybrid bermuda in the turfed area, which would give a rustic effect:
Mr. Harris stated that the Parks and Recreation Commission has
reviewed the development plans arid recomxnends that Council approve
this first phase of the development in order that these State Bond
Funds may be utilized.

PA.RKING - MA.LL PROJECT
Planning Director Ha�rris presented the Plans for the 1400 block
California Street parking structure as prepared by Phil Patterson.
The cost estimate of the structure is $529, 557, plus $2 ,000 for street
treatment, or a totalifigure of $531 ,557. The amount budgeted is
/�(�J�- $532 ,000. Mr. Harris discussed five alternates, totalling $19, 600,
which are included in the above estimate.
�`�7 �L In reply to Mayor Moty's inquiry as to whether the $531 ,557 includes
a contingency figure, Mr. Harris said it does not; however, the $19,600
could be considered a contingency if the alternates are not used.
In discussing the parling structure and the Mall Project, Mr. Harris
advised that construction of the Mall will result in the elimination of
116 on-street parking• spaces , and an additional 29 spaces on the east
side of California Street because of the Mall bypass routing. In addition,
150 off-street parking spaces will be lost during construction of the
parking structure. To offset this loss , staff is recommending that
certain streets which�will not be usable for through traffic be utilized
as temporary parking� lots; i.e. , Market Street from Yuba to Placer,
Yuba Street from California to Market, the east half of Yuba Street
from Market to•Pine,� and the east half of Butte Street from Market
to Pine. On such streets angle parking could be provided on one side
of the street with parallel parking on the other . By such utilization,
about 70 parking spaces could be regained. The cost of replacing
parking meters and �striping is estimated at a little less than $3500.
Mr. Harris said that the merchants have endorsed the concept.
In a dis cus sion of the temporary parking lots, it was sugge sted by
• Council that diagonal parking on each side of the aforementioned
streets would provide even more parking. Mr. Harris said that no
firm design plans hav�e been made and that staff would check into this
possibility. He stated that at this point staff would like Council
approval of the use of the aforementioned streets for temporary
parking lots and for the expenditure of appro�.mately $3495 to convert
same. �
