PUB LIC HEARING. - Amendments to Redding City Code pe rtaining to , Mobilehome s and T ravel T raile rs The hour of 7:30 P. M. having arrived, Mayor Moty opened the � Public Hearing on proposed amendments to Chapter 7 and Chapter `'�3 30 of the Redding City Code pertaining to mobilehome and travel trailer parks;and use of, trailers outside of licensed t,ra.iler parks. 302 The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing -.Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendations dated 10/23/67 The City Clerk advised that no written protests had been received and Mayor Moty ascertained there were no written protests to be submitted from the floor. Planning Director Harris reviewed briefly the recommendations of the Commission, stating that since adoption of the existing Chapter 7 of the Code, the State �Legislature has enacted legislation which pre-empts much of the field pertaining to mobilehomes and travel trailers, and also that the present regulations in the .zoning ordinance relating to trailer parks are outdated and do not reflect current needs for these types of uses. City Attorney Murphy reported that a draft of the amendments to Chapter 7 was submitted to the State Agency which.presently��en- forces the State regulations of mobilehome parks and they found no objections to the proposed changes in the City Code. � Councilman Chatfield questioned the minimum area requirements of 5 acres specified for mobilehome parks and 2 acres for travel trailer parks areas. Mr. Chatfield said that he does not believe that Council should involve itself in whether it is economically ' feasible to operate mobilehome or travel trailer parks in areas smaller than 5 or 2 acres. He does not feel the ordinance should spell out the �minimurn sizes for such park areas. Planning Director Harris commented that the data re the miriimum area requirements was supplied by the mobilehome industry and that most of the newer ordinances of other cities have used this app roach. Associate Planner Nebon stated that the Industry has tried to improve the image of mobilehome and travel trailer parks and, in working with operators, has come up with standards. Their desire to do this stems from the problems that arise where such parks are located in the periphery of residential neighborhoods. Mr. Nebon said that 5 acres seem to be necessary to provide service areas, recreation area, pool, etc. Mr. Murphy pointed out that the ordinance does not require immediate development of all of the 5 acres; one acre can be developed as long as the complete site contains 5 acres and the developer conforms to street requirements, etc. Mayor Moty said he thinks Council should consider what it is trying to accomplish for the entire City. He believes it would be reason`- able to require a certain minimum size for the_se parks so that they can be developed in a manner that is not offensive. Mayor 1Vloty pointed out that a small trailer park will not generate enough busi- ness to warrant development in an attractive manner. He feels it would be v,iise to go along with the recommendations of the Industry. In answer to Mayor Moty's inquiry as to whether a developer can re- quest a variance from the Planning Commission if he has a piece of ground he wishes to develop into a mobilehome park which does not meet the area requirements as outlined in the ordinance, Mr. Harris replied that this would be possible. J 303 MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Gouncilman Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Aye s . ORDINANCE - re Mobilehomes, Travel Trailers, and Camping Councilman Denny offered Ordinance No.� 947 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending �;��� the Redding City Code, 1959, as amended, by repealing Chapte r 7 thereof and substituting a new Chapter 7 pertaining to mobile- homes, travel trailers and camping. ORDINP,NCE - re Mobilehome and T ravel T raile r Pa rks Councilman Fulton offered Ordinance No. 948 for first reading, �G,� an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending ��o r the Redding City Code, 1959, as amended, by adding Chapter 30 Section 30-16. 1 and Section 30-16. 2 pertaining to mobilehome and travel t raile r pa rks. PxRK MARINA DRIVE EXTENSION Councilman Fulton submitted the Council Committee Report and Recommendation on Park Marina Drive Extension dated October 9, 1967. In summary, the report recommends rejection of the developers' original proposal and a counter offer by the City as follows: Construction of a street 70' in width with curb and .gutter on both sides and sidewalk on the east side only, with the developer to'provide the sidewalk and curb and gutter and also to participate in the street construction to�the extent of 35% of base, paving, and �'��� � storm drainage costs. The amount of money proposed to be�paid to the develope rs by the City, taking into conside ration the exchange of land and the costs to be borne by the developer, is $1, 780: 00 The projected figures were based on a land value of $l. 00 per sq... .ft. Dr. Fulton stated that the developers modified their original proposal and now offer a 75' wide right-of-way, with the City to retain a very small portion of the fishing easement; the road to be constructed by the City, and the City to pay the developers $11, 000. 'This amended offer was made too late to be considered by the Committee in view of Councilman Doherty's present illness. � � Messrs. Wilson and Curto appeared before Gouncil and explained that in arriving at the figure of $11, 000. 00° they had used a land value of $1. 15 per s.q•.:f.t. Also, they did not include any cost to the developers for the base, paving, and storm drainage as they do not feel such costs should be borne by them. After considerable discussion, Mayor Moty stated he did not feel that Council should make a decision at this meeting as one member of the Council Committee (Councilman Doherty) was not present, and suggested that the Committee meet once more with the developers to try and work out a solution to bring back to Council on Monday, October 30th. This� course of action was agreed to by all concerned. BUCKEYE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT • Finance Director Courtney reported that the Buckeye County Water District reorganization requires that a trust aecount be established by the City on ���� or before November 6, 1967 for the purpose of funding the repayment of the / General Obligation Bond debt if the electorate subsequently approves 304 dissolu�tion of the District in the election to be held on November 7, 1967. Mr. Courtney stated that the principal amount outstanding is $172, 000 and the schedule of repayment is not subject to change; however, the rate of interest to be earned by Trust Fund investments must be e:stimated ' and it will be necessary to provide for an initial over-deposit with an in- cremental refund procedure. It is .the recommendation of the Finance llepartment that a temporary fund advance be made from electric utility reserves. Mr. Courtney said that no fund transfer resolution has been prepared for this meeting since the amount to be deposited has not been agreed upon to date. The Finance Department is working with the Bank of .America Trust Department.in accordance with the terms of LAFCO. Resolution No. 67-1. In answer to Mayor Moty's inquiry, Mr. Courtney said that Resolution No. 67-1 provides that in the event election on this reorganization is unsuccessful, the City shall thereupon be entitled to withdraw any deposits made by it.
