PRESENTASION - Civic Auditorium Com�nittee �
Mr. M. F. Parker, Chairman of the City of Redding Auditorium Committee, sub-
mitted to all councilmen an analysis of cost of the proposed civic auditorium•. He
stated this represents a culmination of eight years of study and the committee now
requ�sts that Council institute proceedings to place a $2, 500, 000. 00 bond issue
on the ballot at the June Primary,election for decision by the voters. He further
requested that Council go on record indicating that it is their intention that General
Obligation Bonds will be retired from Sales Tax Funds: - �
He further commented that the electorate imposed the sales tax with the understand-
ing the revenue would be used for capital im�rovements such as streets, water,
storm drain development and a civic auditorium. That funds are now available
from the sales tax, and the voters must decide if funds should be used for the con-
, .
struction of the proposed civic auditorium.
Mayor Puryear indicated that study of this project had been made by the Forward
Redding Committee, the Chamber of Commerce and the City Council, and that
Council is now most interested in presenting the facts to the people; that this is '; '/ �
a gaod, feasible project.
Dr. Martin said he has mixed feelings on this project: It will be a wonderful living
room for Redding from an architectural standpoint and as an attraction for the en-
joyment of many kinds of diversified programs, however he was not in complete accord
that all the things should be included; however, as a father with a family must adjust
the needs of the family to the available resources, so the City must adjust their needs
to the available resources. The praposed expenditure is a large sum, however the
items to be included should be to the judgment of the Comrnittee. "This is a worth-
while project and I am willing to let the judgrnent of the Committee stand. The
proposed auditorium will be an asset not only to the City and County, but all the
northern counties from here to tlie Oregon state line, the Nevada State line and to
Eureka,"he concluded.
Councilman Simons stated he was aware of the pros and cons faced by the Auditorium
Committee; that he 'noticed the estimated cost of maintenance of the auditorium was
lacking. That while it is possible to build the auditorium with sales tax money, this
s.�.me- money would not then be available for storm drainage, etc. He pointed out
that while this must be a general obligation bond issue, and the present Council's
intent is that sales tax rnoney be used to retire the bonds, we can not tie the hands
of future councils. "It would be an injustice to the property owners if ever insuf-
ficient money wer.e available and the bond payments would have to be met by
increased property tax" he concluded. He favored 'the issue being placed on the
ballot for June 5th.
Councilman Moty said he echoes the sentiments of Councilmen Martin and Simons;
he accepts the wisdom and judgment of the many capable men who have studied
the project duriiig the last eight years. He"app'roved placing the issue on�the ballot
and will go on r"ecord that his intent is that�sales tax revenue will be used for the
retirement of the bonds, interest and redemption. �
Mayor Puryear commended the C'ivic A.uditorium Committee for keeping the Council
so well informed on their progress; that.he wanted the tax payers to know it was
the intent of this City Council, the Finance Director and the administration that
sales tax mone`y will be used. as outlined. That $57, 000 has been invested to date
on this project, and believing in the integrity of the men on the committee, the
money had been well spent. "I'am convinced the civic auditorium is in the best
interes.ts of the City and County. dur area can become the principal industrial
and recreational area in Northern California. It is our heritage to make improve-
ments for our growth and economy" he said. '

Rezoning of Parkview �4venue (Conti�tdua�io.nof�Hearing of 2/19/62)
The hour of 8:00 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Puryear reopened the Fubli.c
Hearing on the rezoning of Parkview Avenue.
Planning Director Evans submitted a memo to all c.ouncilmen entitled "Recon-.
' sideration of the Planning Commission on the matter pertaining to the Parkview
�
i'"� �! _ Avenue rezoning request of Mr. Frank Shuman. " He reviewed previous
action of the Planning Commission and the City Council�,s request to obtain
a majority vote of the total membership of the Comrnissioners on whether or
not the properties in question should be rezoned from.R-3 (Restricted Multiple
Family Residential) to either a C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) or a C-2-P
(Gentral Commercial with off-street parking} District. .,
5taff recommendation was for the C-1 classification, based on the following
reasons: •
1 . General Plan for Land Use does not indicate a major transition �rom a
high density residential development to a Central Commercial or Industrial
land us e. �"
2. Neighborhood Commercial Zoning would best control any future encroach-
ment of a retail commercial nature into the residential (.R-1) area along
5tate Street as well as the adjacent area (R-3)
3. The same retail commercial uses are permitted in the C-1 classification
as are allowed in the G2-P classification, with the exception of the 15. 0
ft. setback, service stations and used car lots etc.
4. The entire area adjacent to Parkview Ave. should be preserved and retained
for harmonious and aesthetic arrangement of buildings in order to p�e-
serve the features of the civic center.
, . . . .
He then advised the Planning Commissioners had voted for a C-2-P zoning,
_ with five commissioners favoring this rezoning, one. commissioner absent.
Mr. Frank Shuman, representing Mr. Bauman and proponents of rezoning to
C-2-P stated that not only have the five Commissioners present at the meeting
recommended this rezoning, but property owners Henry Keefer and Roscoe
Anderson wanted to be placed on record as favoring commercial zoning.
Mr. John �2.eginato; 672 State Street, advised he approved C-1 rezoning.
That rezoning should be considered from a community interest standpoint rather
than as a local matter.
Mayor Puryear stated he did not favor C-2-P zoning for this area, but was of
the opinion zoning should b.e R-3, R-4 o,r C-1 with a 15 ft. setback that. should
be landscaped to enhance the aesthetic value of Parkview Avenue as a boulevard
type street. That should commercial development be allowed, he stressed that
careful. attention should be given to landscaping in order to provide a beautiful
area in.the City of. Redding for years.to come.. `
MOTION: Made byCouncilman Simons, seconded by Councilman Martin that
hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes.

for the next move.
Frank Shuman requested the matter be referred to a vote by the complete
council. . . . .
Councilman Moty stated he was of the opinion that this should not be considered
as an average pieee of property, but that public interest must be considered as
well as private interests.
Councilman•Martin stated he �felt the area should be developed as compatible
witli the civic center'across the street, and �suggested the property•be unclass-
ified and each proposed use be considered on its own merit.
