Councilman A.nderson expressed concern with aesthetics and
asked what is proposed in the General-Plan for this property,
He was advised that the General Plan indicates that this is
proposed Open Space, Mr. Harris said he concurs with the
philosophy; however , in this instance the property is zoned
for commercial uses and the application only expands the uses
and he feels the proposed use is similarly compatible.
City A.ttorney Murphy mentioned that Chapter ? of the Code
pertaining to mobile home and travel trailer parks is current
and is designed for aesthetic controls .
Councilman Denny said he doubts that there is any City on the
Sacramento River that has done more to acquire Open Space
alang the river than the City of Redding. He believes the only
legal and ethical way that the City could hold this as Open Space
is by condemnation, and he feels that it is proper to allow this
property to be developed along the lines proposed. Mr . Denny
remarked that the developer, Mr. Spaid, has done as much as
any indivldual to beautify the river frontage and he believes
that with the. controls the Planning Corruziis sion has with the use
permit, it would be a desirable development.
Mr. Murphy said that if Council wishes, they could instruct
staff to bring the use permit before Council rather than have it
is sued by the Board of A.dministrative Review.
Councilman Anderson said he didn't feel this would be necessary;
that he has expre s s ed his views to staff.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman
Anderson that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unariimous
