PUBLIC HEA. RING - RZ-11 -65 - Eureka Way

The h,o�ar of 7:30 P. M. having arrived, Mayor Moty o�ened the
Public.Hearing on Rezoning A..pplication RZ-11 -65, Eurek�. Way,
The following docurnents are on file in the office of the. City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
A.ffidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
Plann.ing Commission Recommendation dated_ 5/3/65
,1 � The City Clerk advised there were no written protests, and the
t'I �. Mayor ascertained there were no protests from the floor.
Planning Director Keyes presented on the Vu-Graph the prop��r�ty
proposed to be rezoned C-2-P-F, explaining-that�the Planning
, Commission recommended the praperty bz rezoned as. c_ommercial
,, with an "F" s�ymbol, which means the City will have an opportunity
„ to review the site development plans, Mr. Keyes said no petitions
or. commPnts„had been received fro:-n residents in the vicinity of
the proposed rezoning.
MOTION: Made by Coancilman Chatfield, seconded by Coun�ilman
�
Denny the public hearing be closed, The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Co��ncilman Denny asked if this was the first proposed use of the
"F" designation. Planning Director Keyes said it was, that it
gives_the City control over 'p'�'rmissive�use of'the rezoned area�.
The "F',' d�signation was felt necessary due to the topography of
the area and the drainage and sewer problems.
Councilman Fulton stated�;he feels the rezoning of this area fo.r the
, p-arp;ose of building a- Safeway Market and �ther shops 'will add to
the ,ex:�sting traffic problem o.� Eureka Way. ._
Mr. Miller, Chairman �f the Traffic and Parking Commission,
said :�e believes it will be necessary to signalize Eureka Way at
both;Orange and Magnolia A.venues, .and M�!-. Miles of the Division
of Highways , in a letter to Mr, Keyes, advised he feels cur1�
park.ing will soon have to be pr.ohibited on Eureka Way'between
Orange and Magnolia Avenues. , .
Councilman Chatfield o'aserved that perhaps this rezoning will
� create some additional traffic problems; however., he noted
' . any time property is developed;, traffic problems app��ar and �er-
haps thi� approach_is better insofar as Eureka Way is concerned
bec�.use entran�e to the parking area would. have to be from Magnolia
_ or Orange.Avenues. , , ` •

�Councilman Fulton offered Ordinance No. 79� for first reading, amending �,

. TELEPHQNE COMPA.NY IN LIEU TA.X - Legislation
°City A.,ttorn.ey Murphy explained that this item was originally sub-
m�itted to Council at the A.pril 19th meeting as�a communication
fram the City of Long Beach, requesting favorable consideration
��a��'�`� - 'by'Couricil to a Constituti.on�.l Amendrn:ent re a 2°jo gross receipt
• tax on telepho'ne companie's. 'Mr.. Murphy. said the League of
w.. ,. , .
� •Califor:riia Cities.favors .A,. C. A: 17 which proposes a 1% gross
4 ��' �=� �'�' �'fax;�''�which they_feel has a b.etter chance of p�.ssage than the Long
Beach proposal, Mr. M�arphy submitted docu.ments re thzs issue
from the League of California Cities, the. City of Long Beach, and
from the Pacific Telep�one Co�npany for review by Coancil.
Coancilman Chatfield cannot see whe;r.e itrw�uld;�b�e„p,roper for the
City to vote on this issue. - - �•
97
MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman Hummel
that this matter be tabled,
Councilm�:n Denny feels the City`bf Redding has �a'very definite interest
in th'i's legislation and tliat we" mY�st fake a position'in any proposed�legis-
`latiori that v�iill affect the financiaT revenae' of the'Gity. 'He�would be in
favor of having�arguments brought out into'the op�n an� for Council to
cflrisider the argum�rits b�fore taking action on requests �for endorsemPnt
and support of the� pe rtinent bill. � �
Councilman Chatfield withdrew nis motion so the issue could be discussed,
Mr. Mixrpliy �reported the League of California Cities takes the position
that this bill is only 'replacing 'rn part revenue lost when the Supreme
Court freed the Telephone Co:•npaxiy from p�.ying Franchise Fees.
Mr.' Wern;,� Heidrich'� of tlie� Pacific TeiepYione Company eXplain��d the
relative tax burden of telephone u's�rs vs, otHer�utility service users
and poirited �ut that telephone�izse rs are paying�'l�ette'r than t�iic'e�as m�ach
tax as other utility service use"rs: ' ' � ' ' ' • � • � - -
• , , _ . . _ - . . � � . � _
In resporise to questioning it was brought o�at that the tax money woul� be
collected by �:the Board of Equalization, th�t administrative costs could be
taken o�.zt and the m�aney prorated back to the political subd�ivisions on a
population basis�. Mr. Heidrich explained that`cities rembte from•the
metropolitan areas v�iould not realize as large a return as more heavily
pop�alated areas, in proportion to the amount of tax paid. -
There was considerable discussion on this issue and Cauncilrnan Denny
stated he`feels tlie significant point' is, the "re'is inequity in•requiring
franchise paymQrits of other utilities�ancl n''o't requiring� franchi`se� payments
from the telephon� companies; therefore, it seems the:Lea.gue is proper
in the position it has taken. Mr. Denny would not advocate a do�lar benefit
if. it were accomplished '�y an unfair tax �ut he feels the proposed tax is
fair iri relatiori to the tax practices 'that apply t'o' otlier utilifies.=
MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny that Council 'endorse the� passage
czf A...C, A... 17, a proposed constitutional am�ndment supported by the :
"�eague of.Califo'rnia Cities, which 'proposes to establish=a 1% �tax on
t�le��one company`gross revenues in lieu of a charge fo-r the.fran�hise
� � �f cioing'busiri;,ss. This motion`died�for lack of a second. �
. �
r.!�OTION: ,Made by Co�ancilman Chatfield th�:t this matter be tabled.
C>oanci'1'r'riari`Hummel seconded the motion vased ori:the fact that it :
appears"it would be to ou`r detrim�nt as tel'ephorie'use •taXpayer�s'=that-
the return taxwise would not be proportionate td the' tax paid.' �''

Traffic Engineer Freeman PxplainPd in detail the proposed street i
alignment which was illustrated on a large wall map. Mr. Freeman
said the residents in the area�are naturally c�ncerned about the traffic
in, the residential area and about safety for their children. He stated
the present thinking is tonhave cul de sacs at the end of Athens, Rome�,
and Olympus, with access to. ThamPs (the proposed arterial street)
from South Street.. So:ynP of the residents have indicated a desire to
have a frontage road; however, Mr. Freeman does not believe a frontage
.._ ,. . . _ _
road is a good idea. He pointed out the total cost as the road is now pro-
posed would be $227, 000, with .the City paying $93, 660 (from gas tax
funds); Quintana paying $35, 000, and the developer paying $98, 360. If
more land is needed for Thames Drive for frontage r_oad, the cost �
would be $327, ?70, ;plus �severance darnage, costs. `
Mrs. ,Singleton of 2080 Athens A..venue asked.if the arterial route would
be limited to an 8 ton load limit and a 25 MPH_speed limit. Mr. Freeman
. . - ��- - �
said 85°jo of the traffic would drive at 32 MPH and he isn't sure of the
. _. . . . . . ,. . .. _ . • . .. .
` load limit. City Manager Cowden said it was recomm�nded that the load
� . , . . . .. . ,._ . .
limit be set at 8 ton. Mrs. Singleton �.lso asked if this route wou:ld connect
with Cypress Avenue and if there would be a new bridge crossing the
Sacramento River. Mr. Cowden said the route would connect with Cypress
but.the.decision xe the new bridge had not yet been made.
� .,. . _ . _: ._. ... � ,. . .. , . . � , .. . , . , .,
Mr. Tom Glunt of 2298 Tham�s Drive app�ar`ed before .Council and stated
he would lik� to go on record as opposing a frontage road. He said he
would like the are,a to go commercial and .sell out but is afraid the, frontage
road would hinder this.
Chairman Miller of the Traffic and Parking`Commission submitted the
Commission's recornmendation providing for a frontage road along a.
portion of the proposed arterial to b�.deline�.ted by ,a five foot divider

Councilman Fulton� objects to the frontage road as it will allow traffic
to come into the residential area and he does not feel the frontage road
would help residents. - , - -
Co�ancilman Denny asked City Manager Cowden-how the `expenditure for
this project would affect our, other plans for road construction. Mr.
Cowden said it would set back other street improvements by the_amount
of $93, 660.

The Coart stipulated that a�cess should be given through Lot 15 of Block
6 of Sunset Terrace .5ub�livis:i.on Unit 3. . The Court'fia.rther stated that
this street must meet the requirements of the Planning Commission as � 1
' to .width, alignment, . and grade. _The Planning-Commission recommends � �� `�
approval by.'CounciT of that parcel of land shown on Exhibit "D" as an
acceptable location on which to construct an��appr.oved 'city street to ser�ve
the Jo�� S.auer property and, in granting said approval, agrees (1) that the
required City improvements. can.be. contained.within- aaid.par-cel� of land
and (2) grades in exce�ss .of City.maximums `Sivill:be:approvEd`ori�the exten-
sion of said dedicated stree.t to serve the subdivided property;_�bia.t not in
exce s s of 17°�0. . . . . _ . , . _.. .... . , �
Mr, Sondag- of the: Engineering Firm� of •Clair A.�-Hill &:A.�ssociates explained
the necessity for grades in excess of City maximum was-due -to the way
in which the access road was laid out --. that Lot 15 would not be damaged
as mach with the present layout but it thereby increases-the gr•ade up to
almost 17°jo. - - -�'a - ' � ���
When questionPd as to the.extent�of prop��rty to be served by ,�this road
the City A.ttorney stated he believed only the area within -the smaller
boundaries of the 5auer pro�erty shown in Exhibit "E" was considered,
which is approximatel•y 3-1/2 acres. . • -�� i

that Riverside Drive b� widened on its north side to�pr.ovide two -
` �opposing lanes of traffic and to accommo�.ate parking on the soa•th

Council agreed that thP cost of widening the street to.s�uch an.extent
is not justified. Councilman Denny feels the City co.uld go back to

PORTUGUESE BEND CASE • � - � - � �= � �-=..:� : _ . -. .,
City Attorney Mlzrphy made a brief oral report on •Portug;uese Bend litigation,
(Alb 'e'rs vs: �County,'of::Los Angeles,� SC#27930), wherein Los A�ngeles County
condemned certain land in Portuguese B,end-area ;for construction of a County
raad and, according to engineering testimony, tlie earth moving �ari3 con-
structio�� upset the delicate balance of an undergroun� sediment�ary slippage
,�����'� plain, causing.a s.ubstantial por:tion of, th.e PortuguesQ Ben�l private beach
residential area to slide irito the Pacific Ocean. Although the Coart mads an
express finding that there was no negligence o�-� the p�.rt of the County, on
the theory of inverse candemnation the County was held liable for all damage,
and judgrnents were awarded to various plaintiffs approximating $7, 400, 000.
This case was brought to the attention of Council to indicate the extension of
liability exposure of public agencies brought about by recent statutory changes
and judicial decisions and the nee�l therefore to take all p�ssible preventive
m��asure s.

AGREEMENT-- .R,e�use..of Shasta County,Paddy Wagon , _
City A.ttorney M��zrphy advised Council it was the belief_of Police Chief
Scott Linczcum and Sheriff John Balma that the Coanty paddy vvagon
parked at or in the vicinity of-the Grange Hall• when public dances a-re
held thexe would be useful. The County is agreeable to loaning the
City the paddy wagon for such purpose s but has made the requiremPnt
that, the County, be held harmle:ss from any claims,or damages arising
out of the use of such p�ddy wagon by the City. Mr, Murphy subrnitted r
for approval an agreem�nt b�tween Shasta Coanty and the City of Redding �4�
for the use of the p•�.ddy wagon, which agreem��nt stipulates: (1) The
City shall provide a11;personnel to o�erate said vehicle and wi11 provide .
all gasolin� and oil required; and (2) the City shall hold the County harm-
less fram any and all claims arising o�at of the 'use of said vehicle, etc.

U. S. SENA TE BILL NO. 218
City Attorney Murphy submitted Resolution No. 3438 opposing the
enactment of Senate Bill No. 218 by the Congress of�the�Un'ited �States.
Mr. Murphy stated this Bill would amend present law to exempt intra-
state public utilities from Federal Power Commission regulation. Thus,
unless there was some state regulatory commission having jurisdiction, •'���
an intrastate �a.tility who sold power to a municipal p�wer could impose
price increases u�on the municipal utility without regulatio.n. The National
League of Cities feels this bill could do great damage to municipalities
having their own electric utility system who are forced to buy power from
intrastate public utilities,
MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Coun�ilman Hummel
