Mr. Harris recommended that this study be referred to the Traffic and Parking Comrriission for review and comment prior to consideration by Council. Philip Patterson, of the firm Patterson, Langford &, Stewart, sub�mitted the Master Plan for all of the parking lots adjacent to the Downtown Mall. He discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the "access ramp" �� versus the ''ramp deck'' parking lot concept and said that it had been con- cluded that the"ramp deck" is the most practical approach for the 1400, 1500, and 1600 block parking lot because of the size of the lot and because �,�� the "ramp deck" has a more gentle slope. He submitted a scale model of the proposed "ramp deck" parking lot which would encompass the 1400, 1500, and 1600 blocks fronting on California Street, would provide 702 parking spaces, and would be constructed in three phases. Double- deck parking would be provided in the 1400 and 1600 blocks with street level parking only on the 1500 block. In answer to a question as to ; whether this type of construction lends itself to additional decking, Mr. ! Patterson said that it does not but that the design of the parking lots to be constructed between Market and Pine Streets does take this into con- sideration. He further stated that they have based the design of the parking lots on the nuxnber of cars with relation to the number of retail stores in the downtown area. Schematic drawings of the proposed parking lots and the scale model of the California Street parking lot are on file in the office of the Planning Department, Right angle parking is indicated on the model on the ramp slope (which is a 6% slope), and Councilman Chatfield questioned the feasibility of parking and backing out, of such parking spaces on the ramp. Councilman Anderson a�sked� if angle parking on the ramp had been considered. Mr . Patterson said that it had been considered but that there would be about a 20% loss of parking spaces if angle parking were .usecl. The Master Parking Plan was referred to the Mall Committee for review and recommendation, and the Parking Study was referred to the Traffic and Parking Commission. - CIVIC AUDITORIUM - "Reader Board" Sign In a memo to Council dated N,ovember 13 , 1970; Planning Director Harris r.ecomrrsended that staff work with the Redding Chamber of Commerce re the developme�nt of.a "Reader Board" Sign to acquaint both residents and „�� travelers with coming events at the Civic Auditorium, and that Council consider this item during the 1971-72 budget sessions.
