RESOLUTION NO. 2009 - 40
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
REDDING APPROVING CERTAIN TEMPORARY INCENTIVES
TO STIMULATE COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY,
AND APPROVING A ONE-TIME SIX-MONTH EXTENSION OF
BUILDING PERMITS AND BUILDING PERMIT
APPLICATIONS.
WHEREAS, on April 7, 2009, the City Council considered public testimony regarding the impact of
the economic downturn on the citizens and businesses in the City of Redding; and
WHEREAS, the Council determined that certain short-term incentives are important to stimulate
development activity in the City of Redding; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further determined that the significant economic downturn and
nonfunctioning credit markets throughout the state and nation are affecting the ability of citizens to construct
planned projects in a timely manner; and
WHEREAS, on February 20,2001, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2283, establishing a
program of development impact fees and enacting a new Chapter 16.20 and revisions to Chapters 14.08,
14.16,14.18, and 16.22 of the Redding Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 16.20 authorizes the City Council to adopt administrative guidelines for
implementation of the Development Impact Fee program;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Redding hereby
adopts a Resolution temporarily overriding and superceding any language in the Administrative Guidelines
for the Calculation and Determination of Development Impact Fees which may be inconsistent with the
language as set forth below:
1. Between June 1, 2009, and December 1, 2009, the payment of wastewater and water
development impact fees for new and expanded commercial, office, and industrial development
within redevelopment project areas within the City of Redding as depicted in Exhibit A attached
to this resolution shall be permitted to phase the payment of these fees as set forth below.
Deferred Fees. In Redevelopment Project Areas within the City of Redding, new construction, or the
redevelopment or remodeling of existing properties, that results in an increase in infrastructure service
demand and the requirement to pay development impact fees may be eligible for deferral of portions
of water and sewer impact fees. To be eligible, the building permit applicant must request the deferral
prior to issuance of the building permit, which would require the payment of the relevant fee.

The permittee shall pay a minimum of 25 percent of the required fee( s) at the time those fees are
normally paid. The remaining impact fees may be paid over a maximum of three years through equal
payments on the monthly utility bill. The installments shall include an interest charge on the unpaid
.
.
balance equivalent to the City's annual funds' investment rate of return compounded monthly on the
unpaid balance as of July I of each year preceding the year in which the payments are made. The
permittee and/or property owner and successors in interest shall be required to acknowledge the
payment as a personal debt in a legally binding agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney,
and said debt shall be secured by a lien recorded on the property, or by other legally binding agreement
as may be acceptable to the City Attorney. The failure to pay the debt as set forth in the agreement
may subject the property to the termination of utility service as set forth in the Redding Municipal
Code and/or pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
2. The term of all building permits, and applications for building permits that were active between
January 1, 2009, and June 30, 2009, may be extended for a one-time period of six months from
the date of permit or application expiration upon a written request of the permittee or applicant
for such extension. The Building Official shall grant such extensions upon a showing of good
cause, where such extension will not adversely impact the health and safety ofthe public.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was introduced, read, and adopted at a regular
meeting of the City Council on the 5th day of May, 2009, by the following vote:
