Axon Customer Experience Improvement Program Appendix
Axon Customer Experience Improvement Program ( ACEIP). The ACEIP is designed to accelerate Axon' s development of technology, such as building and supporting automated features, to ultimately increase safety within communities and drive efficiency in public safety. To this end, subject to the limitations on Axon as described below, Axon, where allowed by law, may make limited use of Agency Content from all of its customers, to provide, develop, improve, and support current and future Axon products ( collectively, " ACEIP Purposes"). However, at all times, Axon will comply with its obligations pursuant to the Axon Cloud Services Terms of Use Appendix to maintain a comprehensive data security program ( including compliance with the CJIS Security Policy for Criminal Justice Information), privacy program, and data governance policy, including high industry standards of de- identifying Personal Data, to enforce its security and privacy obligations for the ACEIP. ACEIP has 2 tiers of participation, Tier 1 and Tier 2. By default, Agency will be a participant in ACEIP Tier 1. If Agency does not want to participate in ACEIP Tier 1, Agency can revoke its consent at any time. If Agency wants to participate in Tier 2, as detailed below, Agency can check the ACEIP Tier 2 box below. If Agency does not want to participate in ACEIP Tier 2, Agency should leave box unchecked. At any time, Agency may revoke its consent to ACEIP Tier 1, Tier 2, or both Tiers.

1. 1 ACEIP Tier 1.

1. 1. 1. When Axon uses Agency Content for the ACEIP Purposes, Axon will extract from Agency Content and may store separately copies of certain segments or elements of the Agency Content ( collectively, " ACEIP Content"). When extracting ACEIP Content, Axon will use commercially reasonable efforts to aggregate, transform or de- identify Agency Content so that the extracted ACEIP Content is no longer reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to a particular individual Privacy Preserving Technique( s)"). For illustrative purposes, some examples are described in footnote 11. For clarity, ACEIP Content will still be linked indirectly, with an attribution, to the Agency from which it was extracted.

This attribution will be stored separately from the data itself, but is necessary for and will be solely used to enable Axon to identify and delete all ACEIP Content upon Agency request. Once de- identified, ACEIP Content may then be further modified, analyzed, and used to create derivative works. At any time, Agency may revoke the consent granted herein to Axon to access and use Agency Content for ACEIP Purposes. Within 30 days of receiving the Agency' s request, Axon will no longer access or use Agency Content for ACEIP Purposes and will delete any and all ACEIP Content. Axon will also delete any derivative works which may reasonably be capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to Agency. In addition, if Axon uses Agency Content for the ACEIP Purposes, upon request, Axon will make available to Agency a list of the specific type of Agency Content being used to generate ACEIP Content, the purpose of such use, and the retention, privacy preserving extraction technique, and relevant data protection practices 1 For example;( a) when extracting specific text to improve automated transcription capabilities, text that could be used to directly identify a particular individual would not be extracted, and extracted text would be disassociated from identifying metadata of any speakers, and the extracted text would be split into individual words and aggregated with other data sources( including publicly available data) to remove any reasonable ability to link any specific text directly or indirectly back to a particular individual; ( b) when extracting license plate data to improve Automated License Plate Recognition ( ALPR) capabilities, individual license plate characters would be extracted and disassociated from each other so a complete plate could not be reconstituted, and all association to other elements of the source video, such as the vehicle, location, time, and the surrounding environment would also be removed; ( c) when extracting audio of potential acoustic events ( such as glass breaking or gun shots), very short segments (< 1 second) of audio that only contains the likely acoustic events would be extracted and all human utterances would be removed.

applicable to the Agency Content or ACEIP Content (" Use Case"). From time to time, Axon may develop and deploy new Use Cases. At least 30 days prior to authorizing the deployment of any new Use Case, Axon will provide Agency notice ( by updating the list of Use Case at https:// www. axon. com/ aceip and providing Agency with a mechanism to obtain notice of that update or another commercially reasonable method to Agency designated contact) (" New Use Case").

1. 1. 2. Expiration of ACEIP Tier 1. Agency consent granted herein, will expire upon termination of the Agreement. In accordance with section 1. 1. 1, within 30 days of receiving the Agency' s request, Axon will no longer access or use Agency Content for ACEIP Purposes and will delete ACEIP Content. Axon will also delete any derivative works which may reasonably be capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to Agency.

1. 2 ACEIP Tier 2. In addition to ACEIP Tier 1, if Agency wants to help further improve Axon' s services, Agency may choose to participate in Tier 2 of the ACEIP. ACEIP Tier 2, grants Axon certain additional rights to use Agency Content, in addition to those set forth in Tier 1 above, without the guaranteed deployment of a Privacy Preserving Technique to enable product development, improvement, and support that cannot be accomplished with aggregated, transformed or de- identified data.

O Check this box if Agency wants to help further improve Axon' s services by participating in ACEIP Tier 2 in addition to Tier 1. By checking this box, Agency hereby agrees to the Axon Customer Experience Improvement Program Tier 2 Terms of Service, available at https:// www. axon. com/ sales- terms- and- conditions and incorporated herein by reference.

VIEVU Data Migration Appendix
Scope. Agency currently has legacy data in the VIEVU Solution from which Agency desires to move to Axon Evidence. Axon will work with Agency to copy legacy data from the VIEVU solution into Axon Evidence(" Migration"). Before Migration, Agency and Axon will work together to develop a Statement of Work(" Migration SOW") to detail all deliverables and responsibilities. The Migration will require the availability of Agency resources. Such resources will be identified in the SOW. Onsite support during Migration is not required. Upon Agency's request, Axon will provide on- site support for an additional fee. Any request for on- site support will need to be pre- scheduled and is subject to Axon' s resource availability.

A small amount of unexposed data related to system information will not be migrated from the VIEVU solution to Axon Evidence. Upon request, some of this data can be manually exported before Migration and provided to Agency. The Migration SOW will provide further detail. 2 Changes. Axon is only responsible to perform the Services described in this Appendix and Migration SOW. Any additional services are out of scope. The Parties must document scope changes in a written and signed change order. Changes may require an equitable adjustment in the charges or schedule.
3 Project Management. Axon will assign a Project Manager to work closely with Agency' s project manager and project team members and will be responsible for completing the tasks required to meet all contract deliverables on time and budget.
4 Downtime. There may be downtime during the Migration. The duration of the downtime will depend on the amount of data that Agency is migrating. Axon will work with Agency to minimize any downtime. Any VIEVU mobile application will need to be disabled upon Migration. 5 Functionality Changes. Due to device differences between the VIEVU solution and the Axon' s Axon Evidence solution, there may be functionality gaps that will not allow for all migrated data to be displayed the same way in the user interface after Migration 6 Acceptance. Once the Migration is complete, Axon will notify Agency and an acceptance form.

Agency is responsible for verifying that the scope of the project has been completed and all necessary data is migrated correctly and retained per Agency policy. Agency will have 90 days to provide Axon acceptance that the Migration was successful, or Axon will deem the Migration accepted.

In the event Agency does not accept the Migration, Agency agrees to notify the Axon within a reasonable time. Agency also agrees to allow Axon a reasonable time to resolve any issue. In the event Agency does not provide the Axon written rejection of the Migration during these 90 days, Agency may be charged for additional monthly storage costs. After Agency provides acceptance of the Migration, the Axon will delete all data from the VIEVU solution 90 days after the Migration. 7 Post-Migration. After Migration, the VIEVU solution may not be supported and updates may not be provided. Axon may end of life the VIEVU solution in the future. If Agency elects to maintain data within the VIEVU solution, Axon will provide Agency 90 days' notice before ending support for the VIEVU solution.
8 Warranty. Axon warrants that it will perform the Migration in a good and workmanlike manner. 9 Monitoring. Axon may monitor Agency's use of Migration to ensure quality, improve Axon devices and services, prepare invoices based on the total amount of data migrated, and verify compliance with this Agreement. Agency agrees not to interfere with such monitoring or obscure from Axon Agency' s use of Migration.

Report to Redding City Council January 15, 2025
Re: 4.11(a)--Update of Emergency Repair and Replacement of Substandard Sewer Pipe and Failing Asphalt Page 2
Cox & Cox Construction (Contractor) completed all underground repairs at all locations by August 30, 2024, and also completed repaving of Placer Street on September 9, 2024.

Additionally, the contractor completed restriping of Placer Street on September 27, 2024; raising of manhole and valve lids along Placer Street on October 16, 2024; and completed the remaining work that included new sign installations at various locations along Placer Street and minor punch list items completed on November 16, 2024. The final project closeout will be completed before the end of January 2025.

Re: 9.11(f)--Emergency Repair and Replace Substandard Sewer Pipe and Failing Pavement on Placer St. Page 2
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose to not authorize the award of an emergency contract, and instead have staff prepare plans and specifications to award a contract to the low bidder in accordance with state and local contracting procedures. Or, Council could provide alterative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
On April 1, 2024, Council voted to enter into a Contract Amendment, Settlement Agreement and Release with the contractor for the Magnolia Area Sewer Improvements Phase 1 project. This settlement agreement was partially due to the contractor’s refusal to make required repairs to substandard work done on the project. This substandard work has the potential to create public health and safety issues.

Staff has considered repackaging the project plans and specifications for bidding; however, this process would likely require a minimum of six months in order to obtain an executed contract and ultimately provide a contractor with a notice to proceed. This timeline is unacceptable given the condition of the installed sewer infrastructure and would jeopardize being able to complete all the repair work, including re-paving Placer Street, prior to the onset of winter. In addition, current Magnolia Area Sewer Improvement Phase 1 project site conditions present potential impacts to public health, property and safety. Therefore, staff proposes an emergency contract to replace the substandard sewer pipe and associated infrastructure, failing asphalt concrete and minor associated public health and safety work on Placer Street and within Magnolia Area Sewer Improvements Phase 1 project limits. Staff estimates the work will be complete within four months of commencement of construction activities.

It is noted that the Public Contract Code (PCC) (Section 20168) provides that the local government’s legislative body may pass a resolution by a four-fifths vote of its members declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health and property. Further, the PCC (Section 22050) provides that “in case of emergency, a public agency, pursuant to a four-fifths vote of its governing body, may repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without giving notice for bids to let contracts.”
It is in the public’s interest and necessity to repair the sewer system, pave Placer Street and repair or replace other associated minor items of work immediately to ensure protection of the public’s health, safety and personal property occurs.

The Resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15269(b) – Emergency Projects. Section 15269(b) includes emergency repairs to publicly and privately-owned service facilities necessary to maintain service essential to the public health, safety, or welfare. The emergency repair and replacement will occur in areas of previous disturbance, and the repairs are necessary to maintain service essential to public health.

AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO AWARD AN EMERGENCY
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO REPAIR AND REPLACE SUBSTANDARD SEWER PIPE AND FAILING ASHPHALT CONCRETE

PAVEMENT ON PLACER STREET
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code section 22050 and Redding Municipal Code 4.22.120(A) provide that, in the case of emergency, a public agency may repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without giving notice for bids to let contracts; and WHEREAS, on April 1, 2024, Council voted unanimously to enter into a Contract Amendment, Settlement Agreement and Release regarding the Magnolia Area Sewer Improvements – Phase I project; and WHEREAS, portions of the underground sewer improvements constructed as part of the Magnolia Area Sewer Improvements – Phase I project were not constructed in accordance with the contract documents; and
WHEREAS, proper sewer infrastructure is critical to public health; and WHEREAS, if not repaired immediately, the improperly installed sewer infrastructure has a high potential for failure during high-flow periods, winter, potentially ultimately causing significant disruptions in service, failures and damage to associated public and adjacent private infrastructure; and WHEREAS, Placer Street is a primary arterial with moderate traffic volumes and the asphalt concrete pavement is in a failing condition as a result of longitudinal and transverse sewer trench pavement patches within the roadway section presenting a public safety concern; and WHEREAS, a competitive solicitation for bids is anticipated to require six (6) months and would further delay the needed repairs to prevent sewer blockages, sink holes and further damage to the public and private infrastructure until 2025; and
WHEREAS, continued pavement failure and blockage of the sewer conveyance system would threaten the safety and property of roadway users and persons nearby; and WHEREAS, isolation of the impacted area so that the delay due to competitive bidding could be accommodated would not mitigate or eliminate the threat to persons and property; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1. The City Council of the City of Redding finds that the recitals set forth above are true and correct and are hereby adopted as findings of fact.

2. The public interest and necessity require the immediate expenditure of public money to restore the sewer conveyance system to full capacity, protect the public health, safety and welfare, and prevent further damage to the roadway.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept the City of Redding Mitigation Fee Act Report Update, including an accounting of development fees; and adopt Resolution making findings concerning unexpended funds.

Fiscal Impact
The Mitigation Fee Act Report Update (Report) for Fiscal Year 2023–24 accounts for $22 million in Development Impact Fees. There is no direct fiscal impact in accepting this report other than the staff time necessary for preparation.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to accept the report, thereby, not making the required finding, and provide alternative direction to staff. Without the finding, the Impact Fee Program, as currently adopted, will be abandoned and the collected monies may need to be refunded.

Background/Analysis
The City of Redding (City) collects a wide range of impact fees from development projects. The fees are utilized to construct various public capital improvements that mitigate the burden new development has on the City’s infrastructure systems. California Government Code §66000, et seq., defines specific reporting requirements to provide the public an annual account of revenues and expenditures associated with the various impact fee programs.

To meet these requirements, staff has prepared a Mitigation Fee Act Report Update for Fiscal Year 2023–24. The annual report must be available to the public within 180 days of the end of the fiscal year. A public notice of the availability of the report was published in the Record Searchlight on December 22, 2024.

The Mitigation Fee Act Report Update provides an annual account of the collection and use of the fees collected from development projects within the City of Redding. The fees are utilized to construct various public capital improvement projects. Public capital improvement projects typically include the construction of streets, structures, park facilities, sewer lines, waterlines, storm drainage facilities, and traffic-control devices.

The purpose of this report is to make the required findings and account for the various funds to support retention of fees that have been collected. Fees collected prior to the adoption of the Development Impact Fee Ordinance, effective April 24, 2001, are accounted for in the same manner as fees collected subsequent to that date, and in accordance with the provisions of the Mitigation Fee Act.

The collection and accounting of fees is governed by Government Code Section 66006(b). Fees are deposited in separate accounts or funds established by the City of Redding’s Finance Division. Interest income earned on these monies remains with the account in support of the capital projects.

This report is the annual Mitigation Fee Act Report (FYE 2023) and is an update to the report accepted by the City Council of the City of Redding on December 19, 2023.

The following documents are incorporated herein by this reference:

Dana Drive Impact Fee 151-1693 Fund
The purpose of the Dana Drive Impact Fee, as set forth in Section 16.20.170 of the Redding Municipal Code, is to provide for the construction of street widening, traffic signals, bridge widening, and freeway interchange improvements related to new development within the Dana Drive Traffic Impact Fee zone in accordance with the development forecast under the City of Redding General Plan. As the amount of new development contemplated by the General plan occurs, there will be an additional burden on the district's surface transportation system in the Dana Drive Impact Fee Zone. Without funding-identified capital improvements, there will be an unacceptable level of traffic congestion, delays, accidents, and generally reduced public safety. Air quality could be adversely affected, as has been demonstrated in other studies when idle/standing times are increased.

Storm Drainage Impact Fees 241-6791 Fund
The purpose of the Storm Drainage Impact Fee, as set forth in Section 16.20.220 of the Redding Municipal Code, is to finance the cost of drainage and storm-water detention projects, including mains, tributary systems, creek improvements, and detention basins that are related to new development.

Flooding potential is thereby increased, particularly during periods of highintensity and/or sustained rainfall, creating an unacceptable hazard to citizen welfare and safety. The Storm Drainage Impact Fees will finance the improvements necessary to maintain adequate drainage, flood protection, and storm-water detention throughout the city in response to the impacts of new development. 3955000

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following related to the purchase of one 2024 Autocar ACX, Automated Side Loader for the City of Redding’s Solid Waste Utility:
(1) Authorize the purchase using Sourcewell contract pricing, with a net delivered cost of $506,701.60, including the purchase of a two-way radio and all applicable taxes and fees; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to approve future pricing adjustments, terms, and policy changes as needed due to inflation and unstable economic conditions up to a total of $30,000.00.

Fiscal Impact
Funding for the addition of one residential automated side loader is included in the City of Redding’s (City) 2023 – 2025 Biennial Budget - staff budgeted $470,000 for the purchase of this unit. Due to increased costs of metal and petroleum products, an additional $36,701.60 of Solid Waste Utility’s (Utility) Rolling Stock Funds are needed to cover the additional cost associated with the purchase. Included in the total cost of the unit ($506,701.60) is $5,000 for the purchase of a two-way communications radio. The Utility’s Rolling Stock Fund will have sufficient funds to cover remaining planned and budgeted purchases for the current budget cycle.

Alternative Action
The City Council may choose not to authorize the purchase using Sourcewell contract pricing, and direct staff to use the City’s bid process, which would delay the acquisition of the truck.

Report to Redding City Council January 15, 2025
Re: 4.11(c )--Purchase of one 2024 Autocar ACX 64 Side Load Truck using Sourcewell Contract Pricing Page 2
Background/Analysis
A core function of the Utility’s daily operations includes collecting residential garbage, green waste and recycling. In recent years, the City has experienced residential growth with the establishment of new neighborhoods and home construction. Beginning January 1, 2022, compliance with Senate Bill 1383, regarding organics recycling has compounded the need for an additional truck to collect organics in residential green waste containers.

The new regulation has resulted in an increase in the frequency and number of carts being placed out for weekly collection. The Utility utilizes a total of 16 residential side loads, 12 frontline units and four backup units. The Utility is increasing the number of residential organics collection routes from three to four. This will increase the number of frontline units to 13 trucks that are used on a daily basis for collecting pre-determined routes, while the other three are utilized as spares when one of the other trucks is out of service. Due to the heavy use and harsh application for these trucks, the backup units are constantly being utilized while other units are being maintained or fixed which does not completely eliminate the times when there are not enough trucks to fill all the routes. The addition of this truck will reduce the reliance on older trucks (backup units) and increase the ability to be appropriately equipped to perform daily collection activities with the least possible overtime.

The Sourcewell contract was competitively bid. In addition to being an industry standard, using the Sourcewell contract to purchase equipment saves significant staff time needed to prepare bid specifications and solicit individual quotations from vendors. The City also receives a significant price discount due to economies of scale realized through the volume of purchases on a multiagency cooperative contract.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to submit a Sustainable Transportation Planning grant application in the amount of $350,000 to develop a City of Redding Active Transportation Collision Reporting Plan.

Fiscal Impact
If the City of Redding (City) is successful in obtaining Sustainable Transportation Planning (STP) grant funds, the City may receive up to $350,000 of state funding which includes a required 11.47 percent local match of $40,145. As proposed, match funding would include Streets Division Funds and/or Citywide Transportation Impact Fees – if the application is successful, staff will return to Council for approval. A total of $37.7 million is available for the Fiscal Year 2024-25 transportation planning projects statewide from the STP grant program.

Alternative Action
The City Council may choose not to authorize the application submittal and provide staff alternative direction. If there is insufficient support of the application, the City would lose the opportunity to obtain grant funding to help report additional traffic collisions.

Background/Analysis
The STP grant program was created when the California Legislature passed, and Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed into law, Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, a transportation funding bill that provides a reliable source of funds to maintain and integrate the State of California’s multi-modal transportation system. Eligible planning projects must have a transportation nexus per Article XIX Sections 2 and 3 of the California Constitution, therefore the grant is expected to directly benefit the multimodal transportation system. These grants are also expected to improve public health, social equity, environmental justice, the environment, and provide other important community benefits.

Report to Redding City Council January 15, 2025
Re: 4.11(d)--Grant Application for Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant funds Page 2 The purpose of the grant funding application is to develop a City of Redding Active Transportation Collision Reporting Plan (COR-ATCRP) to be used to create a project that tracks traffic collisions that currently may not be tracked by existing resources. Currently, most collisions that result in an injury or fatality are recorded, but typically collisions that result only in property damage, collect only the minimum amount of information. The main goal of this effort is to identify what collisions are typically reported from the Redding Police Department and California Highway Patrol, and what collisions do not end up in the state reporting systems.

The STP grant funding will allow staff to develop a plan for how to close any current gaps in tracking and reporting. Jurisdictions typically rely on the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System, and the Transportation Injury Mapping System to track collisions and obtain all necessary information pertinent to the incident. The City would also like to track multimodal collisions to help identify any potential issues and locations that may be needed to address safety for bicyclists and pedestrians.

The tracking would be integrated into the City’s Geographic Information System mapping. The result would be an increase in safety and livability, along with the City being able to more accurately address issues with various different modes of travel. Staff has found that collisions not resulting in any bodily injury may not be reported in a fashion that can be tracked to determine where potential severe injury or fatal collisions could occur in the future. This plan would help to identify these issues before they result in a more severe collision. In addition, most grant opportunities for roadway and multimodal improvements are based on collision reporting.

This data can be used to enhance grant applications and assist in development of multimodal projects. Development of the COR-ATCRP is estimated to cost $350,000.

Grant applications are due February 21, 2025, with grant award announcements anticipated in spring 2025.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no action is required at this time. If a grant is awarded to the City the project will be reviewed in compliance with CEQA.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to submit a grant application to the United States Department of Transportation Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity Grant Program in the amount of $25 million for the South Bonnyview Diverging Diamond Interchange and Corridor Capacity Improvement Project.

Fiscal Impact
If the City of Redding (City) is awarded United States Department of Transportation grant funding, required local matching funds are variable depending on certain community characteristics specified in the notice of funding opportunity. The South Bonnyview Road Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) and Corridor Capacity Improvement Project (Project) is eligible to use Traffic Impact Fee program funds as a local match; however, the local match funds will be determined at the time of the grant award. City staff will bring any final award and required local match before the City Council (Council) for consideration.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to authorize this grant application, in which case City staff will not apply to the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant program. The City would then not be considered under this program and miss this opportunity to receive Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding through a competitive grant program.

Background/Analysis
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed into law by the President of the United States in November 2021, and made additional funding for infrastructure, including roads, harbors, rail networks, and other transportation, available through a number of programs. In its first year, the RAISE grant program had $1.5 billion of funding available. Previously, under the MEETING DATE: January 21, 2025

Report to Redding City Council January 15, 2025
Re: 4.11(e)--Authorize Grant Application - US Department of Transportation Page 2 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the RAISE program was known as TIGER grants which have included projects such as dedicated bus lanes, highway and bridge repair, dock replacements, and rail-to-trail projects in a number of states. The RAISE program was the first discretionary funding program to accept applications tapping into the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding.

Staff is requesting authorization to seek the maximum amount of $25 million of grant funding to complete the project. In the previous three funding cycles, the Council approved applications for this project which, to date, have not been successful. Last year, the City partnered with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for submittal of the grant application (last year, the project was one of only three applications submitted by Caltrans for the State).

Unfortunately, none of the Caltrans applications were awarded last year, so the City has elected to reapply independently.

The City has already made progress on portions of this project using existing funding, notably the roundabout on the western side of the project location. The remaining improvements include improvements to the ramps on and off of Interstate 5 at S. Bonnyview Road, the DDI itself, and another roundabout on the eastern side of the project area at the intersection of S. Bonnyview Road and Churn Creek Road. The improvements included in the project are in the City’s Traffic Impact Fee program and are critical for serving the increased economic activity in the area and new housing inventory that will see more people living near and commuting through the area.

This project also benefits from being innovative in the context of the California road network.

While other diverging diamond interchanges exist throughout the state, this project has the potential to be the first DDI bracketed with roundabouts on both ends in California.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no action is required at this time. If a grant is awarded to the City the project will be reviewed in compliance with CEQA.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds.”
• Public Safety – “Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work, and play in the City of Redding.” • Economic Development – “Facilitate and become a catalyst for economic development in Redding to create jobs, retain current businesses and attract new ones, and encourage investment in the community.”

REU takes great pride in helping to make the City of Redding and Shasta County a great place to live, work and play. Today, we continue to provide reliable and aordable electric service to the residents and businesses of Redding, while developing the flexibility and innovation to respond to the changing utility marketplace. We remain committed to providing strong value to the Redding community far into the future. 03 Executive
Summary
Redding and Shasta County powered
on through the Carr Fire of 2018 and
Snowmaggedon in 2019. The year 2020
represented another challenge for the electric
utility industry. The COVID-19 pandemic
proved to be devastating to our community and
nation as citizens struggled to remain healthy
many parts of the nation as natural disasters
damaged equipment and disrupted lives.

Our employees worked together, as frontline responders, to keep the power on while keeping themselves and our customers safe
As we look ahead, we must continue to
think and act strategically, addressing
changes in technology, customer
expectations, regulations and the climate,
especially related to wildfires. We must
continue to be proactive and adapt quickly
to the changes impacting the electric
utility industry to best serve the Redding
community for the next 100 years. Change
is a constant in the electric utility industry,
and we are determined to act in a way
that best serves our customers and the
community far into the future. As a local,
publicly-owned utility, we are invested in
the success of Redding.

REU completed its previous strategic plan
in 2015. At that time, the organization
embarked on a structural overhaul to
better align the workforce with our
customer needs, and the strategic plan
helped us focus on several critical areas,
including technology, workforce and
culture, communications and financial
stability. To address today’s fast pace
of change to the utility industry, we
engaged in a new strategic planning
face when possible, and virtually when
COVID-19 restrictions reduced our ability
to meet in person. Several meetings were
conducted with City of Redding Council
stakeholders to update REU’s strategic
plan and chart a course for the future.

The strategic planning team examined
our strengths and limitations, confirming
the utility’s mission and priorities that will
serve as guideposts for long-term project
development and planning.

Packet Pg. 430 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - Item No. 9.5(c)--Consider Redding Electric Utility's 2026 Strategic Plan (9.5(b)--REU Strategic Plan Update) 04 The 2021 Strategic Plan includes several
important updates to our vision, mission and
priorities. The vision statement, identifying
the value we seek to bring to the Redding
community states:

REU makes Redding better by connecting
with our customers and being their trusted
and reliable, community-owned utility
The mission statement, which describes
what we will do to achieve that vision reads:

REU, in partnership with the Redding
community, is committed to improving the
public’s safety and providing reliable, costeffective service Our organizational values will play a key
role in how we fulfill our mission and vision.

We have an obligation to the community to
act in its best interests. As such, we have
identified six core values which will drive
our actions:
• Safety
• Integrity
• Customer Focus
• Teamwork
• Communication
• Stewardship
Looking ahead to the coming years, we
have identified three key areas in which
we must excel for the utility to serve the
Redding community. They are:
• Mitigate Risk
• Maximize Reliability
• Meet Regulations
We believe attention to these three
areas will position us to deliver valuable
service to the community for many years
to come. When the utility was formed
100 years ago, city leaders recognized
the wisdom of allowing the community to
control its own destiny by building and
managing its electric service. Today, the
City continues to deliver value to the
community through the local control of
utility services, maintaining high reliability
at very competitive rates, while keeping
dollars and jobs in the community.

We invite you to review this strategic plan
and share your thoughts with us about the
direction of the utility. You, the customer and
citizen, are the owners of Redding Electric
Utility. The ownership partnership formed in
1921 has been – and will remain – a key to
our success in the years ahead.

Executive
Summary
Packet Pg. 431 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - Item No. 9.5(c)--Consider Redding Electric Utility's 2026 Strategic Plan (9.5(b)--REU Strategic Plan Update) 05 Proud of Our History,
Preparing for
the Future
The world has changed greatly since REU began distributing electricity to the people of Redding 100 years ago. The utility, too, has seen significant change from the days when it purchased all of its wholesale power from area investor-owned utilities.

Over the decades, we established greater
control over our power supply, contracting
with the federal government for low cost
hydroelectric power, partnering with other
agencies to access significant economies
of scale and building our own generation
facilities. These forward-looking steps by
past city and utility leaders ensured greater
reliability, rate stability and predictability.

As a result, Redding’s lights remain on, bills
remain manageable and its owners’ best
interests are being supported.

And who are those owners? No, it is not Wall
Street investment firms, hedge funds and
other shareholders. It is you, the customers
of the utility and the citizens of Redding. As
a public power utility, rather than an investorowned utility, our owners are our customers.

This means decision-making on issues
important to you, such as rates, power supply,
reliability and customer service, are made
locally. The utility’s governing board is the
Redding City Council, which embraces the
critical role that the utility plays in serving the
community.

REU employs 193 people, who serve
44,905 residential and commercial
customers within the corporate boundries
of the City of Redding. Redding’s
population and economy have remained
remarkably stable for many years. Most of
this century has seen modest growth in
population, lagging behind both California
and the U.S. population growth rates. Yet,
interest in Shasta County’s vast natural
resources continues to drive strong tourism
as well as new residents, citing the area’s
natural beauty as a draw.

The regional economic outlook is good,
having recovered fairly quickly from the
pandemic-fueled downturn. The local
industry is diversified, with the largest
employment sectors being healthcare, retail,

Redding is well-positioned to remain
economically vibrant in the years ahead.

The utility must continue to adapt to
changes in our natural environment, new
state and federal regulations, technology
advancements and evolving customer
expectations.

For example, the wildfire “season” is nearly
a year-round issue now. We recognize the
important role we must play in planning for and
responding to fires that may impact our service
territory. In 2021, technology and human
resources in the Redding Fire Department
and Parks Division have been provided
extraordinary tools to battle the wildfires
that continue to impact California. A stateof-the-art emergency operations center was established at our headquarters building
to allow first responders and leaders within

to prevent loss of life and property due
to catastrophic events. We work closely
with other Redding departments and first
responders to ensure public safety.

Numerous other technological tools
are being implemented, including new
communication systems, IQ FireWatch
cameras, security cameras in and around
electric infrastructure and aerial imagery
for assessing the vegetation canopy. All of
these tools are congregated in the City of
Redding’s new emergency operations center.

Looking within the utility, REU’s infrastructure,
reliability, and operations are generally in
good shape. However, many years of
deferred maintenance are resulting in more
frequent outages of longer duration. We
are at a pivotal time regarding our aging
distribution system, and significant capital
maintenance and upgrades are needed in
order for us to continue providing reliable

• In concert with a robust power generation,
transmission and distribution system, REU’s
Customer Services Division provides
outstanding service, continually going
above and beyond to help our customers.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
our Customer Services team developed an
extensive community outreach program,
the Comprehensive Community Assistance
Program to inform our customers about
available resources.

These technologies improve operations,
reliability, safety and customer service.

By providing funding for firefighters and
vegetation management personnel, we
have been able to carefully identify and
mitigate potential fire hazards that could
impact or be caused by our utility. In
addition, we have funded a large goat
program as part of vegetation management.

Through proactive measure and working
closely with other city departments, we will
continue to reduce the large risks wildfires
pose to our beautiful area.

Three strategic priorities have been identified as points of emphasis in our strategic planning process. To take advantage of our organizational strengths and to address opportunities for growth and improvement, the following strategic priorities serve as the framework for our strategic plan.
01 Manage risk necessary to protect
our customers from physical and
financial harm.

From wildfires to pandemics, change is
the new normal. We continue to assess
the impacts, risks – and opportunities
– that this change brings.
02 Provide best in class safety,
reliability and services to support
the needs of our community.

We will continue to take the steps
necessary to maintain and upgrade

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
In order to continually manage wildfire risk and the threat to public safety, our Wildfire Mitigation Plan identified several technology and distribution system improvements as significant mitigating factors to the detection and prevention of future wildfires in our service territory. Due to the long lead time for planning and construction, several critical projects remain outstanding with targeted completion within the 5-year horizon. The majority of the technology improvements have been deployed, with the remainder focusing on vegetation inspection systems. Distribution system improvements range from circuit hardening and strategic underground to developing a more coordinated vegetation management program.

With a focus on reliability and completion of an internal aging infrastructure assessment, we identified several distribution system elements that require replacement as part of ongoing routine operations. The projects will center on underground, overhead and meter system replacement to ensure a solid platform is established for future modernization efforts. Key performance indicators such as total customers and outage minutes are used to gauge the effectiveness of aging asset replacement. Replacement of at-risk elements will reduce outage events while providing customers with a higher degree of reliable service.

New technologies are available for deployment on our system to provide faster outage detection, real-time situational awareness and modernized software solutions for system operators. By modernizing our distribution system, we can ensure outage times are minimized by faster detection and response by pinpointing the outage and focusing resources on the needed repairs. Communication systems will be bolstered by the deployment of fiber optic lines on our system with additional spare capacity for future use. Power quality will be enhanced with projects aimed at line capacity upgrades and power factor improvement. mitigate risk

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Our recent overhaul of the Energy Risk Management Policy requires detailed processes to ensure all policy requirements are achieved. To align the policy with day-to-day staff duties, a set of business rules will be developed to identify modeling and analytical methods used to provide energy trading and hedging recommendations to the Energy Risk and Risk Oversight Committees. Key performance indicators from this project will center on the ability to keep our energy portfolio metrics in compliance with the Energy Risk Policy. Separately, updated Integrated Resource Plans will be needed to address the future energy landscape in California, with particular focus paid to electrification of transportation and buildings. In addition to focusing on load growth from carbon reduction efforts, additional renewable energy resources will be required to maintain compliance with the State’s Renewable Portfolio Standard requirements.

As part of our North American Electric Reliability Corporation registration as a Transmission Owner and Operator, we are continually striving to develop a culture of compliance with a particular focus on regulatory best practices. To support a culture of compliance and the development of best practices, a Regulatory Compliance Internal Controls project will be completed to ensure any compliance failures are minimized. With the recent requirement to provide enhanced system security by SB699, we will be focusing on bolstering the security at our substations by adding additional layers of protection from sabotage or break-ins. mitigate risk

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Aligning revenues with the cost of providing electric service is imperative to mitigate risks.

REU will implement two projects to analyze and recommend a rate structure. The first project will consist of a cost-of-service study that analyzes electric consumption patterns of service. To garner support for the rate structure recommendation, a second project will ensure significant outreach and community engagement to gather comments, provide education and develop consensus.

Our Customer Focus Core Value is intended on meeting the needs of our customers and fostering an ownership relationship with the community. To support this core value, we must increase our communication channels, frequency of outreach and inclusion with our customers as we move through this Strategic Plan cycle. Two projects have been developed to meet this goal. A customer needs survey project will help us identify the areas requiring more attention and communication, while an updated communications plan project will ensure we are more effective at stakeholder processes and customer outreach. Future surveys will be used to gauge the effectiveness of these projects.

Because we value our employees, REU identified several employee training and procedure management projects to ensure our teams understand their roles and responsibilities in serving our customers. Furthermore, in order to attract and retain quality and dedicated team members, ongoing labor market analysis must occur to ensure the working environment of REU is one that attracts and maintains employees. This will include studies of pay and benefits and working conditions. These workforce initiatives are imperative to deliver the strategic plan successfully.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the following:
(1) Accept the report on the City of Redding Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP); and
(2) Accept the CWPP; and direct staff to bring back recommended items and funding alternatives as they become available to City Council for consideration at future dates.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact from accepting the report or accepting the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). If the CWPP is accepted, staff will make efforts to apply for funding to implement the projects and findings specified in the CWPP, specifically projects outlined in the Solutions and Action Plan.

Alternative Action
The City Council may choose not to adopt the CWPP.

Background/Analysis
In 2019, the City of Redding (City) participated in the Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire (CPAW) Program which works with communities to reduce wildfire risks through improved land use planning. The CPAW Final Report recommended that the City continue to improve wildfire planning by creating a CWPP. The CPAW recommendation also pointed out that the CWPP provides an avenue for additional grant and funding opportunities.

Not having an active CWPP has limited the eligibility of the City to apply for grant funding that might have paid for additional fire prevention, fuel reduction, and community education projects.

In Spring 2022, the City was awarded a $520,083 grant from the California Department of MEETING DATE: January 21, 2025

Report to Redding City Council January 15, 2025
Re: 9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan Page 2
Forestry and Fire Protection in which $175,000 was budgeted to contract a consultant to prepare a CWPP for the City. The remaining balance of the funds was allocated to a Fire Prevention Specialist position in the Fire Department (Prevention-21) in 2022 and is projected to be exhausted in 2026.

In the spring of 2023, Deer Creek Resources from Chico, California was awarded the contract for the amount not to exceed $158,748, to write the CWPP. Deer Creek Resources embarked on a comprehensive analysis of local factors contributing to wildfires in the City of Redding. The 142-page CWPP discussed in great detail the local factors contributing to wildfire.

It should be noted that Deer Creek Resources was ultimately chosen to perform the CWPP for Shasta County. The Shasta County CWPP is currently being written and Redding Fire Department staff is participating in and making recommendations with the Shasta County CWPP process. As wildfire does not respect jurisdictional boundaries it is vital that the City and Shasta County CWPPs complement each other in an interdependent relationship. Having both documents written by Deer Creek Resources with common goals and objectives will provide future opportunities to apply for and implement large grants to reduce wildfire risk.

The City’s CWPP makes many recommendations to reduce wildfire risk in Chapter 5 the “Solutions & Action Plan,” pages 47 - 110. The specific sections of Chapter 5 are as follows:

5.1 Prioritizing Hazard Mitigation Projects;

5.2 Projects by Fire Station District;

5.3 Develop A Vegetation Management Plan;

5.4 Prescribed Fire & Adaptive Wildfire Tactics:

5.5 Code & Policy Recommendations;

5.7 Public Education;

5.8 Structure Hardening; and

5.9 Equipment Procurement & Upgrades.

Considering the solutions and actions presented in the CWPP, staff will work within the CWPP to create a prioritized implementation plan, identify grant funding resources, and bring back recommendations to Council for consideration.

Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds.”
• Public Safety – “Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work, and play in the City of Redding.” • Communication and Transparency – “Improve the quality of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust.”
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”

DISCLAIMER
This document analyzes wildfire hazard across the City of Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District and makes recommendations on ways that the City and residents in the area can reduce their collective exposure to wildfire-caused losses.

Within this document, areas are prioritized for hazard reduction based upon several factors including potential wildfire behavior, density of structures, proximity to wildland vegetation, and prevailing fire-season weather and winds. The fact that an area may be mapped as lower priority in this document does NOT mean that that area is safe from wildfires. Rather, it means that there were other areas where targeted wildfire hazard reduction projects or public education might benefit a greater number of residents.

Under typical summer wildfire burning conditions, any area with tall dead grass or un-mowed weeds has the potential to support rapid rates of wildfire spread and high intensity burning.

There are NO low-priority areas for annual weed abatement or fire hazard mitigation in the City of Redding project area.

Wildfire behavior is the product of numerous factors, some of which are weather-dependent and difficult or impossible to quantify. The recommendations in this assessment are based upon field surveys, technical analysis, and the professional experience of the authors. Errors may exist in this analysis and could include improper recording of field data due to GPS accuracy or surveyor error, computational errors, data entry mistakes and any other conceivable cause. This data comprises a simplification of the physical environment intended to allow the authors to make general recommendations about reducing potential fire behavior at the community scale.

While this data is useful in assessing relative risk between the many micro-climates and vegetation-types present in Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District, site-specific changes in fuel hazard and wildfire risk (such as annual mowing, grazing, and weed clearance, the growth of flammable ornamental plants and native vegetation, and other changes in the physical environment) will quickly render this data inaccurate.

THIS DATA DESCRIBES VEGETATION AND WILDFIRE HAZARD CONDITIONS IN THE REDDING CWPP PROJECT AREA DURING SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL 2023 AND FALL 2024. ANY

FUTURE USE OF THIS DATA FOR OTHER PLANNING, CODE ENFORCEMENT, OR HAZARD

MITIGATION WORK IS NOT RECOMMENDED WITHOUT FIRST CHECKING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND.

1. INTRODUCTION
The 2003 Healthy Forest Restoration Act encourages communities, organizations, and cities to develop Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) to assess their wildfire threats and identify specific projects to reduce wildfire hazards, increase wildland firefighting capacity, and bolster public engagement in community wildfire resilience activities. The primary administrative function of a CWPP is to act as a living project list which State and Federal agencies can use to prioritize public funding of wildfire hazard mitigation and resilience projects.

This CWPP builds upon the Redding Fire Department’s existing Fire Management Plan and assesses wildfire risks, community preparedness, defensibility, and potential wildfire hazard mitigation projects for the City of Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District (BFPD).

The goals of the CWPP process are to:
• Describe and assess the City’s general wildfire risk
• Identify areas of critical risk, where a wildfire could potentially spread into residential or commercial areas, damage property or critical infrastructure, or damage natural or historic resources
• Identify specific fuel treatment projects and policy enforcements to directly reduce the risk of wildfire in these critical areas
• Develop targeted educational outreach to residents living in high-risk areas • Recommend potential policy improvements and public outreach initiatives to effectively increase wildfire preparedness and elevate the community’s wildfire risk CWPPs serve as living plans to guide collaboration among local governments, fire departments, land management agencies, and residents; they aid in resource allocation by identifying highpriority areas for intervention and effective strategies for risk reduction. Their purpose is to promote long-term wildfire preparedness and sustainable strategies to maximize community wildfire resilience.

1.1 Adapting to a New Normal
With extreme summer heat, strong seasonal winds, and an urban footprint of ridgetop housing developments sitting above poorly accessible slopes covered with dry wildland vegetation, Redding has substantial exposure to wildfire threats. Western Shasta County has a history of damaging wildfires, and while many of Redding’s past wildfires have been quickly suppressed by California’s robust wildland fire organization, the 2018 Carr Fire laid bare the limits of firefighting during severe fire weather conditions.

Originating west of Redding, in the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, the Carr Fire destroyed over 1,500 structures and caused over $1.5 billion in insured property losses. Eight 7 Packet Pg. 516 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) deaths were directly attributed to the fire, and many other people may have perished because of displacement, abysmal air quality, heartbreak, and other indirect causes.

It can be difficult to distinguish between a wildfire and an urban conflagration, but in practical terms, a conflagration is fueled mainly by burning homes. Western states have seen several wildland fires burn into urban areas within the past ten years, causing fatalities and destroying thousands of structures. Four recent examples are the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa (22 deaths, 5,643 structures destroyed), the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise (85 deaths, 18,804 structures destroyed), the 2021 Marshall Fire in Colorado (two deaths, 1,084 structures destroyed). All three of these disasters occurred when a wind-driven wildfire entered a densely populated urban area and became an urban conflagration.

A fourth example of a wind-driven fire that exploded in growth is the 2024 Park Fire. Starting just north of Chico in Bidwell Park, the fire moved away from the urban core and destroyed 709 structures in outlying communities. The fire was California’s fourth largest at 429,603 acres and burned across Butte, Tehama, Shasta, and Plumas Counties.

Avoiding a repeat of the Carr Fire requires us to identify the vulnerable places at the margins of the City of Redding where a wildland fire can transition to an urban conflagration. The bulk of the mapping, fieldwork, and analysis for this project focused on this task.

1.2 Project Area
This Community Wildfire Protection Plan covers areas served by the Redding Fire Department, which are the city limits of Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District (BFPD), located immediately north of the city limits. This CWPP uses the City’s existing eight fire station boundaries to subdivide the City and project designation in section 5.1.

For the purpose of modeling fire-path scenarios based on contiguous vegetation, an additional one-mile buffer was added to this boundary. Fire does not recognize human-made boundaries, so this buffer was used to look at how fire may move into the city limits or out of the City of Redding into a surrounding area.

1.3 Goals & Objectives
The overall intention of this CWPP is to develop actionable projects that increase the wildfire resilience of the City and surrounding communities.

Goals & Objectives CWPP Section
Describe and assess the project area’s general wildfire risk by characterizing fuel conditions, the nature of the region’s wildlandurban interface, known weather and climate conditions, past wildfire activity, and existing wildfire policy and community preparedness.

Sections 2 & 3
Simulate fire behavior in the study area based on the previously described fuel conditions, weather, climate, and land cover.

Section 4
Identify areas of critical risk, where a wildfire could potentially spread into residential areas; model potential fire spread for these specific ignition scenarios.

Section 4
Synthesize the intersection of wildfire risk related to human lives, property, critical infrastructure, and land and resource management.

Section 5
Identify specific fuel treatment projects and policy enforcement specifications that directly reduce the risk of wildfire in these critical areas.

Section 5
Identify areas with critical, high-risk for wildfire and develop targeted outreach to residents, informing them of wildfire risks and encouraging them to undertake hazard-reduction activities like annual mowing and brush clearing.

Section 5
Recommend potential policy improvements and public outreach initiatives to effectively increase wildfire preparedness and elevate the community’s relationship with wildfire risk.

2. STUDY AREA OVERVIEW

2.1 Geography & Topography
Redding is 160 miles north of Sacramento and 120 miles south of the Oregon border, nestled at the very northern end of California’s Central Valley. Surrounded by rugged, brushy, and forested mountains to the north, east, and west, the City is bounded on the south with fertile alluvial farmlands along the Sacramento River and Churn Creek Bottoms. The City covers about 60 square miles, supporting a population of around 95,000 (2022). The landscape varies in elevation, with Redding averaging about 495 feet above sea level. The City's outskirts fluctuate between 550 and 800 feet to the north, east, or west of downtown, while southern areas range from 400 to 500 feet.
12 Packet Pg. 521 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan)

2.2 Vegetation, Soils & Land Cover
Most of Redding’s land cover is classified as urban and Blue Oak Woodland. Blue Oak-Foothill Pine Woodland, Mixed Chaparral, and Annual Grassland land cover types cover the remaining area (Calveg).

Blue oaks tend to grow on the hottest sites of all the Northern California oak species. They grow on generally poor soils, as single individuals or in small clumps, in areas dominated by a grass understory. Other tree species like foothill/gray pine, California buckeye, valley oak, interior live oak, coast live oak, canyon live oak, and California black oak are often found alongside blue oaks, usually on moister or deeper soils. Oak woodlands range from sparsely scattered trees in less fertile areas to dense canopies in more favorable sites. The understory below the live oak, black oak, and buckeye tend to be dominated more by dense leaf litter versus grass under the blue oaks. Other understory plants include shrubs such as poison-oak, California coffeeberry, various ceanothus species, and manzanita.

Blue oak-foothill pine woodlands exhibit a rich blend of hardwoods, conifers, and shrubs, displaying a diverse and variable canopy. Typically, the overstory is dominated by foothill/gray pine and blue oak. While blue oak tends to be more abundant, gray pine stands taller and holds sway over the canopy. In areas where foothill pine dominates, blue oak density remains low due to its intolerance to shade, and interior live oak is the dominant oak species. Live oak woodlands are more of an “all or nothing” fuel type—due to a lack of understory fuels in dense live oak stands, fires often stay on the surface, torching into the canopy when they encounter jackpots of dead fuels caused by blowdown. However, under high winds or severe burning conditions, the live oak/gray pine vegetation type can experience extreme fire behavior.

In areas with gray pine overstory, the abundant pine needles fall into the brush and branches of understory shrubs and trees, creating “needle cast”—a cloud of highly-flammable, well-aerated wildfire fuel. These needles carry surface fires extremely well, and rates of fire spread under foothill pine can be significant. For these reasons, fuel reduction activities around homes and critical infrastructure should target foothill/gray pine for removal or remove ladder fuels below them. Gray pines are tall, leggy, and usually multi-trunked, they can be difficult and expensive to remove, especially near structures. A single tree can generate a remarkable amount of biomass.

Mixed chaparral habitat is a uniform brushland dominated by shrubs with dense, robust, evergreen leaves. These shrubs exhibit significant variability based on multiple factors such as the time elapsed since the last burn, precipitation patterns, slope aspect, and soil composition.

Predominant species include scrub oak, chaparral oak, alongside various ceanothus and manzanita species. Mixed chaparral on serpentine soils might also include incense-cedar, knobcone pine, Coulter pine, and foothill/gray pine.
13 Packet Pg. 522 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Introduced grasses dominate Annual Grassland habitats display a structure greatly influenced by weather patterns and livestock grazing. The germination of annual plant seeds is spurred by fall rains, with slow growth occurring during the cooler winter months, maintaining low stature until spring ushers in warmer temperatures, accelerating their growth. During summers following abundant rainfall and moderate grazing, substantial amounts of dead plant material can be observed.

The mountains surrounding Redding encompass a diverse array of oak-dominated woodlands and open forests, thriving in various low-elevation sites, including ridgetops, river canyons, inland valley foothills, and arid locations featuring shallow, rocky soils. These landscapes showcase a spectrum from open savannahs with grassy undergrowth to closed canopy stands with a minor conifer presence. Notably, three primary oak woodland types—Oregon white oak, California black oak, and canyon live oak—occupy physiologically challenging terrains marked by water limitations due to low rainfall and sparse, parched soils. 14 Packet Pg. 523 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 3: Vegetation type map using data from California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP).

2.3 Weather & Climate
Redding has a hot Mediterranean climate featuring scorching, arid summers, and cool, wet winters. The mild winters help create ideal conditions for vegetation growth. Mediterranean vegetation adapts to extreme summer heat by shedding moisture and going dormant until early winter. This creates a critical period of elevated wildfire hazard in mid-summer and fall. While wind conditions are often mild during the highest temperature days, strong winds are possible at times, especially beginning in September and extending into November. These high winds set the stage for the most severe wildfire potential. Additionally, Redding’s nighttime temperatures remain warm and dry, and the lack of a substantial temperature and humidity recovery period results in longer daily burn windows .

Winds primarily complicate firefighting by blowing embers long distances ahead of the actual flaming front. This can substantially reduce the effectiveness of the aerial firefighting assets which are essential in controlling fires which escape initial attack.

Temperature
The region experiences about 40 days a year when temperatures reach or exceed 100 degrees.

Clear skies are common for about 200 days each year, with temperatures ranging from 95 to 115 degrees from May through September. Despite its proximity just north of the 40th parallel north, Redding is known for its extremely high summer temperatures and endures an average of 88% possible sunshine hours, second only to Yuma, Arizona, among U.S. cities.

Summers in Redding are typically hot and dry, occasionally punctuated by thunderstorms. July's average daily maximum temperature hovers around 100° F, with highs of 118° F on several occasions. A new record high of 119° F was set on July 6, 2024. Nighttime temperatures during summer stay unusually warm, averaging 79° F and occasionally reaching 86° F. These warm nights, warmer than daytime highs in coastal towns, result from Redding's distance from maritime influences compared to the southern end of the valley.

Precipitation
The City of Redding receives an average annual rainfall of approximately 34 inches. Winter storms contribute most of this precipitation, particularly from December to March. Spring ushers in common rainfall, attributed to Redding's proximity to the Cascade and Klamath mountain ranges, causing the area to receive more rain than most parts of the Sacramento Valley. These influxes of rain can increase fine fuel loads (grass crops) which dry and become available to fuel wildfires early in the summer due to Redding’s arid summer conditions. 16 Packet Pg. 525 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Humidity
During peak fire season in July and August, at the hottest part of the day between 12pm and 7pm, Redding’s average relative humidity is 18%. This number drops lower on hot and windy days. These critically dry conditions provide an opportunity for small fires to grow large very quickly. Most fires in the urban area are detected almost immediately and initial attack usually succeeds in keeping the fires small. The most destructive historic fires have either grown large before they reach the urban area (2018 Carr Fire), or have been driven by high winds (1999 Jones Fire).

Wind
During summer, temperature differentials between land and sea draw moist air over the region, resulting in intense heat. This shifts wind directions to the north and east, driving hot, high-pressure air from land to sea, and creating dry conditions.

Summer and fall months bring dry north winds that lower humidity to between 10 to 15 percent, increasing the risk of large-scale fires, particularly due to the urban-wildland interface.

Wind speeds generally range from 5 to 17 mph, with gusts reaching 30 to 40 mph. North wind fire events are the biggest threat to the City and will be discussed in detail in the following section.

Vegetation & Water Supply
Winter and spring rains lead to the growth of substantial vegetation, which becomes extremely dry and flammable by summer. Not all wildland vegetation comes into flammability at the same time. While grasslands are often ready to burn by the middle of May, woody plants such as manzanita, poison oak, live oak, buckeye, and ceanothus do not reach peak flammability until later in the summer once they lose their moisture. Before going into dormancy, the woody plants can actually help to inhibit fire spread earlier in the summer, when they are actively growing and still full of moisture.

Redding's water supply, drawn partly from the Sacramento River and local wells is not significantly impacted in dry years or during drought. Future extreme drought conditions may limit water availability.

2.4 Fire Ecology, Fire History & Fire’s Land Management Context Most of the native vegetation in Shasta County is well-adapted to wildfire. Oak woodlands exhibit remarkable resilience to hot summer fires. Mature oaks can endure regular lowintensity ground fires, and many oak species possess the ability for young seedlings and saplings to resprout post-fire, even after being top-killed. Native Americans extensively used fire to manage oak woodlands, aiming to enhance habitat for game species, facilitate acorn gathering, and maintain optimal growth forms for crafting materials. While historical accounts cite Native American burning practices, documenting the frequency, intensity, and extent of their fire use remains challenging based on existing fire ecology studies. European settlers carried on the burning practices of Native Americans, using prescribed burning in oak woodlands and 17 Packet Pg. 526 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) chaparral lands. This practice aimed to maintain open stands for livestock production and encourage forage growth.

Surveys indicate that ranchers commonly utilized an interval of 8 to 15 years between prescribed burns as a management strategy. However, the use of fire as a management tool began to dwindle in the early 20th century. While prescribed burning ceased in conifer forest lands due to changing attitudes and concerns about fire risks, ranchers continued prescribed burning in oak woodlands until the 1950s. Subsequently, negative urban attitudes towards fire, propagated by campaigns like "Smokey the Bear," increasing housing density in rural areas, liability concerns from escaped prescribed fires, and growing worries about air quality contributed to the decline of fire use in oak woodlands. Consequently, fire suppression became the primary management approach in these areas.

It is now widely recognized that the suppression of cultural burning and natural wildfires— coupled with drought and climate change—is a primary factor in California’s wildfire crisis. Fire has a key role to play in the maintenance of wildlands throughout California.

While oak woodlands sprout back vigorously after fire, large heritage oaks and cottonwoods can be killed by fire. Snags (dead trees) provide many important habitats in the post-fire landscape, but they can also pose safety hazards, toppling onto houses, cars, or people. After recent fires, enormous amounts of money have been spent falling snags or “hazard trees” adjacent to highly used areas. Snags and general postfire-management issues are discussed in greater detail later in this document.

Wildfire Hazards
While some neighborhoods are less exposed to wildfires moving into the City from the wildlands, the extreme summer heat, abundant wildland and ornamental vegetation, and abundant sources of ignition (people, infrastructure, vehicles) create conditions which make vegetation fires possible, just about anywhere in the City. This document’s purpose is to assess the relative hazard and risk of damaging fires, and to help prioritize areas for targeted action.

The Limits of Wildfire Response
The wildfire coordination center for Northern California is located at the Redding Regional Airport, and the City hosts CAL FIRE’s Northern Region headquarters, Shasta-Trinity Unit (SHU), and a training center at Shasta College. Redding is also home to the Redding Hotshots, Redding Smokejumpers, Northern California’s largest airtanker base, and dozens of fire engines.

Occasionally, however, conditions align in the Redding area that support the rapid growth of damaging fires which escape initial attack. Trigger events for rapid fire growth include temperatures over 100 degrees, humidities below 20%, sustained winds over 10 miles per hour, or multiple wildfire ignitions elsewhere in the State which draw down initial-attack resources, especially aircraft. Generally, about 97% of fire starts in Northern California are suppressed at 5 18 Packet Pg. 527 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) acres or less, but the ones which escape under the worst conditions can become large and destructive.

Wildfire History
Recent fire history in Redding includes the 2018 Carr Fire, 2020 Zogg Fire, and 2021 Fawn Fire.

Over the past three decades, other significant fires in Shasta County include the 2013 Clover Fire, on Gas Point Road (approximately 8,000 acres, 200 structures), 2008 Shasta-Trinity Lightning Complex Fire (86,500 acres), the 2012 Ponderosa Fire (27,676 acres), the 1992 Fountain Fire (63,960 acres, 636 structures), and the 1999 Jones Fire (26,200 acres, 954 structures). Additionally, the 1999 Canyon Fire near Happy Valley (2,580 acres) and the 2004 French Fire (12,675 acres) exhibited extreme fire behavior, making major runs in the initial several days of burning.

The 2024 Park Fire began under hot, dry, and windy conditions on July 24 in Chico’s Bidwell Park. Within hours, the fire had burned 45,000 acres and reached more than 350,000 acres after three days, burning much of western Tehama County, as well as parts of Butte, Plumas, and Shasta Counties. As of September 5, 2024, the Park Fire was the fourth largest in California history at 429,603 acres, primarily driven by south winds. 19 Packet Pg. 528 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure
4: Redding regional fire history. Packet Pg. 529 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Wildfire Risk Observations
Homes built since 2007 were constructed under a new building code, California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 24, Part 2, known as the 2007 California Building Code (CBC). These building code changes required several wildfire mitigations for siding, decking, eaves, and exterior windows. A study conducted after the 2018 Camp Fire found that once wildfires transition to being urban conflagrations, the radiant heat of adjacent burning structures is often the primary mechanism for spreading the fire from home to home. A neighborhood is only as safe as its most flammable or poorly maintained home or outbuilding, so newer subdivisions may be less likely to burn than ones with older homes mixed in.

Industrial and Commercial Districts as Firebreaks
The more-developed commercial and industrial areas of Redding are generally less threatened by wildfires. Here concrete and asphalt cover large areas, and there is less continuous vegetation to carry fire across the landscape. The spatial configuration of land use affects the potential for large fires to spread deep into the City. Specifically, the industrial areas between Beltline Road and North Market Street create a major buffer against the spread of a north wind driven fire deeper into the City. This is not to say that a major fire cannot traverse this area, but that areas adjacent to, or within the industrial neighborhoods have special tactical value, as they represent “pinch-points” a fire will have to burn through to spread deeper into the City. 21 Packet Pg. 530 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure
5: Redding land use map. Packet Pg. 531 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Wind-Driven Wildfire Scenarios
West Winds
The Carr Fire demonstrated the potential wildfire damages which can be caused by the westerly winds which accompany periods of hot weather-induced thermal low pressure, with strong west winds on the hottest days of the year. West wind events will continue to pose a potential hazard to the City, and while fuels on the western edge of the City were greatly reduced by the Carr Fire and subsequent cleanup work, the brush is regrowing quickly, and maintaining firesafe conditions along the interface between the City and wildlands to the west will pose a perpetual challenge. While this project does not currently recommend any major vegetation management projects along the western edge of the City, beyond enforcement of weed abatement codes and outreach and education, future revisions of this plan will need to, as the vegetation loading and wildfire hazards increase here over the next decade.

North Winds
RFD personnel have great concern about the threat posed to the City of Redding from a north wind-driven fire event. North winds, blowing off the interior of the continent rather than coming from the ocean, are common in the autumn months. North-wind events often last for several days, during which already seasonally-dry vegetation is further desiccated to critical levels. North wind events often crescendo with an episode during which sustained winds last for many hours. Fires which become well-established during such events often burn until the winds ease, or they run out of fuel.

The City experiences north winds about 50% of the days in September and October, and about 8% of days in these months have sustained winds of 13-19 mph (average of about 5 days per year). North winds of 19-25mph blow 1.5% of the time (average of one day per year).

Figure 6: Wind direction and frequency – September-October 23 Packet Pg. 532 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) North Wind Scenario
One scenario for a north wind-driven fire includes an ignition in the wildland areas north of Oasis Road, between Interstate 5 and the Union Pacific Railroad corridor. This area is a known nexus for organized criminal activity, and many illegal campsites exist here. A fire originating in or near a camp here, with strong north winds, will quickly begin torching in the heavy gray pine and live oak fuels here. If a fire here escapes initial attack, it will begin to impact structures in the low-density residential areas north of Oasis Road in a matter of minutes, and much of the initial response will be consumed with structure protection. Aircraft will be of limited utility in controlling the blaze due to high winds and long-range spotting. The fire will cross Oasis Road and become established in the Buckeye Creek drainage to the south. From here it will spread quickly in large areas of grass fuels adjacent to the Mountain Lakes Industrial Park neighborhood.

Figure 7: Potential north wind scenario with an ignition near Oasis Road and Cascade Boulevard. 24 Packet Pg. 533 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Fire as a Management Tool
In fire adapted landscapes, major wildfires are not inherently destructive to the natural environment. Fires provide a regular natural disturbance necessary for the health and resilience of many species and related ecosystem processes. Throughout human history, prescribed and cultural fires have been used as a tool to pursue specific landscape objectives. There are opportunities to use fire to achieve land management and public safety objectives while protecting assets and infrastructure.

There are many opportunities to use prescribed fires to enhance the function, safety, appearance, and resilience of wildland areas within Redding city limits. Although the City does not currently have any prescribed burning programs, RFD personnel are eager to implement these practices for both training purposes and strategically introduce low-intensity understory fire to vegetation prior to the beginning of fire season. This CWPP recommends specific areas for burning, and makes a general recommendation that the City pursue funding to support a part-time contract position to create and manage a prescribed fire program within the Redding Fire Department.

Not all prescribed fires are low-intensity underburns. While burning in grass under oak woodlands can be some of the “low-hanging fruit” for hazard reduction, there are also opportunities to use hotter burns to reduce fuels in areas of decadent, tall brush.

The 2022 Flanagan Fire burned 88 acres between Walker Mine Road and Flanagan Road. This fire started in March, after a burn pile escaped control. The fire burned with high severity in an area of heavy brush, and it received a full wildfire response, with aerial retardant and water drops.

While the fire prompted evacuations and frustration among residents, it was fairly easy to control, as it burned mainly on south-facing, drier aspects, and the shadier areas were too wet to carry fire very vigorously. The overall effects of the fire on community wildfire hazard were beneficial—it reduced heavy fuels on a scale that would have been nearly impossible to achieve with hand crews or machinery, and created a buffer of reduced fuels on the edge of an extremely wildfire-prone edge of the Buckeye community. 25 Packet Pg. 534 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 8: The Flanagan Fire burned 6-12 foot-tall brush and thickets of small trees, like this.

2.5 Demographics & Socioeconomics
The 2020 United States Census reported Redding as having a population of 95,542. The population density was approximately 1,468.9 inhabitants per square mile (567.1/km2). The racial composition was primarily 85.8% White, 1.2% African American, 2.3% Native American,

3.4% Asian, 0.2% Pacific Islander, and 4.6% identifying with two or more races. Around 8.7% of the population identified as Hispanic or Latino. Most residents, about 97.8% of the population, lived in households, while 1.3% lived in non-institutionalized group quarters, and 1.0% were institutionalized. Of the 36,130 households, approximately 30.5% had children under 18 years old living in them. Around 44.3% were married couples, 13.3% were headed by a female with no husband present, and 5.5% had a male householder with no wife present. There were also

7.1% unmarried opposite-sex partnerships and 0.6% same-sex married couples or partnerships.

Around 28.6% of households were individuals, and 12.8% were individuals aged 65 years or older. On average, households consisted of 2.43 people, with families (comprising 63.1% of households) averaging 2.94 members.

Regarding housing units, there were 38,679 units with an average density of 632.3 units per square mile (244.1 units/km2). Approximately 55.3% were owner-occupied, and 44.7% were rented. The homeowner vacancy rate was 2.3%, and the rental vacancy rate was 6.9%. About

53.6% of the population lived in owner-occupied housing units, while 44.1% lived in rental housing units.

Redding’s population increases during the day due to work opportunities and out-of-town commuters.

Wildfire Hazard Is Related to Unhoused Population
RFD has confirmed that that 50% of the fires started within the City are human caused, primarily from escaped cooking and warming fires, accidental ignitions, and arson. The department correlates the increase in ignitions with the increase in homelessness over the past decade.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development compiles data from across the country into an annual report submitted to Congress. In 2023, the department tallied 181,399 unhoused Californians, over a quarter of the nation’s total homeless population and a 40% increase from 2019. Homelessness experts primarily attribute the rise to a drop in earnings during the COVID-19 pandemic among people who were already struggling to maintain an income and afford housing.

To represent the scale of the problem, The California Homeless Housing Needs Assessment estimates that it will cost $8.1 billion per year over 12 years to solve statewide homelessness, approximately 3% of California’s budget.

Redding, Shasta County, and the state of California, have dedicated millions toward addressing homelessness within the region. The City of Redding took over administrative responsibilities for the NorCal Continuum of Care (CoC) in January 2024. The CoC is tasked with ending homelessness in Shasta, Lassen, Plumas, Sierra, Siskiyou, Del Norte, and Modoc counties. 28 Packet Pg. 537 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Homelessness is a chronic problem in Shasta County where there are approximately 1,013 people experiencing homelessness, compared to 793 in 2022. This is according to the NorCal Continuum of Care 2023 Homeless Point-in-Time Count (PIT)—a survey conducted on one night in January when shelters are the most full. Counting homeless populations is inherently difficult for many reasons, and the total number of unhoused people living in Redding is unknown and undercounted.

Areas adjacent to established and dispersed camps are a high priority for annual weed abatement, either through mowing or grazing, and for trash cleanup. These projects are intended to both reduce the danger of wildfires originating in camps spreading and to protect unhoused people from wildfires. Locations from a May 2024 encampment mapping project by the City of Redding was used to target areas for trash removal and vegetation thinning to reduce the threat of wildfire. Those locations are shown on the map below.

In August 2024, the City of Redding was awarded a $1.5 million wildfire prevention grant through the CAL FIRE California Investments Program. A portion of this grant funding will be used to target encampment sites to reducing the spread of wildfire from or into these areas.

This CWPP recommends that RFD and the City of Redding continue to seek grant funding for housing, for the specific goal of helping people experiencing homelessness move into transitional housing. Reducing the number of people that are living unsheltered in pockets of the wildland urban interface (WUI) that exist within the city limits will decrease the number of ignitions and mitigate Redding’s fire risk.

While it is outside of the scope of this CWPP to provide solutions designed to solve Redding’s homelessness issue, strategies and projects will be recommended that mitigate the fire impacts associated with human-caused fires within the project area. 29 Packet Pg. 538 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 12: Encampments mapped by the City of Redding in May 2024.

Packet Pg. 539 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan)

2.6 Critical Infrastructure
Many systems and facilities are vital for the City's functionality and resilience. These include utilities like water, electricity, gas, and communications which are fundamental for daily life and economic activities. Critical infrastructure runs throughout the City and is compiled in Appendix 1 of Redding’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP).

Redding's water supply system is primarily managed by the Redding Water Utility, with some areas serviced by the Bella Vista Water District, the Shasta Community Water District, the Centerville Water District, and the Clear Creek Community Service District. The City's electricity needs are met by the Redding Electric Utility, which provides both power generation and distribution services. Natural gas services are primarily handled by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).

The City is served by major roadways, including Interstate 5, which facilitates regional and interstate travel. The Redding Municipal Airport (RDD) supports both commercial and private aviation, connecting the City to larger hubs and promoting economic development.

Additionally, Redding's public transportation system, operated by Redding Area Bus Authority (RABA), provides essential connectivity for residents.

Emergency services and public safety infrastructure are integral to Redding's resilience. The Redding Fire Department and Redding Police Department play pivotal roles in maintaining safety, responding to emergencies, and supporting disaster preparedness efforts. Redding is also served by the Shasta County Emergency Operations Center, which coordinates regional response efforts during significant events or crises.

Communication infrastructure in Redding supports both public and private sectors, facilitating information exchange and operational continuity. The City's network includes cellular and broadband services, which are critical for both everyday communication and business operations. Local media outlets and emergency notification systems also contribute to keeping the public informed about critical updates and safety information. 31 Packet Pg. 540 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan)

2.7 Natural Resources, Parks & Greenways
Redding is renowned for its abundant natural resources and scenic parks, and is home to a range of natural resources that contribute to its charm and livability. The City's location near the Sacramento River and the Keswick Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and supporting agricultural activities in the region. These water resources are essential for sustaining local ecosystems and providing recreational opportunities. Redding's climate supports a variety of plant and animal species, making it an attractive destination for nature enthusiasts.

Redding has a vast public and private open space system, largely protected from development by the Redding General Plan’s “Greenway” policies. Areas subject to flooding or that have slopes exceeding 20 percent are typically not considered developable. These lands represent approximately 8,000 acres within the City limits, and include approximately 4,600 acres zoned “Open Space” and 900 acres protected via private open space easements (Figure 13 on following page).

Redding’s parks system includes 58 developed parks and facilities, encompassing nearly 500 developed acres, not including trail corridors, showcasing Redding's commitment to preserving natural beauty and providing recreational spaces. This system includes nearly 180 acres of natural area parks and 16 special purpose facilities including the Senior Citizens Center, the Dr.

Martin Luther King Jr. Center, Benton Dog Park, and three boat ramp facilities that provide access to the Sacramento River.

The City also manages many smaller parks and green spaces, and its park system includes large neighborhood and regional parks such as Salt Creek Heights, Shastina Ranch, Caldwell Park and Enterprise Park. The integration of green spaces within the City helps to mitigate urban heat effects and supports local flora and fauna.

Over 80 miles of paved and natural surface trails exist in the City and immediate area, the result of efforts by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Bureau of Reclamation, the McConnell Foundation, the Redding Foundation, the National Park Service, the County of Shasta, private citizens, and the City over the last 25 years.

Turtle Bay Exploration Park, a prominent highlight, features a 300-acre complex that includes botanical gardens, a wildlife center, and the iconic Sundial Bridge. The park is not only a hub for environmental education but also a place where people can enjoy the serenity of nature while learning about local wildlife and conservation efforts.

Outside of city limits, the Shasta-Trinity National Forest covers over 2 million acres of diverse landscapes, from lush forests to rugged mountain terrain. This vast expanse not only provides critical habitat for local wildlife but also offers ample opportunities for recreational activities, such as hiking, fishing, and camping. The Whiskeytown National Recreation Area boasts a reservoir surrounded by rolling hills and is particularly valued for its outdoor recreational opportunities, including boating, swimming, fishing, and hiking. 32 Packet Pg. 541 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 13: City of Redding Greenways map. Packet Pg. 542 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan)

2.8 Wildland Urban Interface
Redding is a quintessential example of a wildland-urban interface (WUI) due to its geographical positioning amidst vast expanses of wildland. The City is bordered by a diverse range of wildlands, including the dense woodlands of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and the rugged terrain of the foothills. This proximity to extensive wildlands means that urban development in Redding intersects directly with areas prone to wildfires, creating a complex environment where urban and natural landscapes converge.

Redding’s WUI is not merely a peripheral concern but a deeply ingrained feature of the City's layout. Pockets of wildland intersperse with residential neighborhoods, often extending right up to densely populated neighborhoods. The urban sprawl has increasingly encroached upon these wild areas, leading to a scenario where homes and businesses are situated adjacent to fireprone vegetation. This blending of urban and wild environments necessitates a heightened awareness of wildfire risk, requiring both residents and city planners to adopt measures that mitigate the dangers posed by these frequent natural events.

This underscores the need for comprehensive wildfire management strategies. Local authorities and residents must work collaboratively to implement effective fire prevention practices, such as creating defensible space around properties, maintaining clear vegetation zones, and adhering to stringent building codes designed to withstand fire threats. Additionally, public education about fire safety and emergency preparedness plays a crucial role in reducing vulnerability. In essence, Redding's location within a wildland-urban interface demands a proactive and informed approach to intelligent growth with the inherent risks of living near wildland areas.

RFD responds to emergencies, ranging from fires, medical emergencies, hazardous material events, traffic collisions, and other types of 911 calls. The department also proactively prevents emergencies from occurring, offering services to review real estate development plans, enforcement of the fire code, arson investigation, and public safety education.

The department has three divisions:

Administration Division
Under the leadership of the Fire Chief, the Administration Division also includes the Deputy Chief of Administrative Services, Executive Assistant, and a Management Analyst. This team oversees all activities of the department, including goal-setting, fleet management, facilities upkeep, equipment handling, recruitment and development, budget preparation and management, public relations, and communication with City leadership and the council.

Additionally, the Fire Chief serves as the Emergency Services Coordinator for the City, coordinating all emergency preparedness efforts. This role involves developing the Emergency Plan, conducting staff training, managing the Emergency Operations Center, and liaising with the Shasta County Operational Area.

Operations Division
The Operations Division, led by the Deputy Chief, manages emergency response activities for both the City of Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District. This division is responsible for a wide range of critical services, including structural firefighting, wildland firefighting, and aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF). Additionally, it handles emergency medical and rescue responses, vehicle extrication, and hazardous materials incidents.

The division also oversees shore-based water rescues and public education and outreach programs. Fire inspections are another key responsibility, ensuring safety standards are maintained across the community.
35 Packet Pg. 544 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Community Risk Reduction Division

Each station operates at least two fire apparatus, with many stations housing spare engines and specialized apparatus including a breathing support unit, a hazardous materials truck, and air rescue units. A ninth fire station is planned for the area Shasta View Drive and Tarmac Road.

Much of the City is accessible through paved or gravel roads, and RFD also operates five Type 3 engines to access all types of terrain. Two additional Office of Emergency Services (CAL OES) Type 3 engines are maintained at RFD’s stations. These trucks are the backbone of the wildland firefighting industry and built to manage rugged off-road conditions.

RFD’s Operations Division has recognized a need for Type 6 wildland trucks and UTVs or Sideby-Sides outfitted for rapid response firefighting in difficult to access areas.

Mutual Threat Zone Agreement
RFD and CAL FIRE have established a Mutual Threat Zone (MTZ) Agreement, which has proven highly effective in safeguarding life and property in the City’s wildland-urban interface. The MTZ encompasses an area extending about half a mile into and out of the city limits. Under this agreement, both agencies provide year-round responses to wildland fires, traffic collisions, and other incidents within the MTZ. During fire season, RFD and CAL FIRE deploy resources to any confirmed wildland fire threats, enhancing their response times and improving overall efficiency.

Emergency Notification Systems
SHASCOM (Shasta Area Safety Communications Agency) is a joint powers agency that provides 9-1-1 and dispatch services for the Redding Police and Fire Departments, as well as for the City of Anderson and Shasta County responders.

Redding community members are encouraged to register for emergency notifications through AlertShasta, a program run by SHASCOM. AlertShasta provides notifications from local emergency response teams in the event of emergencies or critical community alerts. Residents will need to provide a phone number to receive notifications including evacuation notices, bioterrorism alerts, boil-water notices, and missing-child reports.

Evacuation zoning throughout Shasta County is handled through genasys Protect (formerly Zonehaven Aware). These evacuations zones were created with the region’s prevailing north and south winds in mind. Residents are encouraged to register and memorize their zone number for evacuation readiness.
38 Packet Pg. 547 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Community Connect allows residents to share critical information about their household that may aid first responders and emergency response personnel. By providing information about their household, residents provide responders with information that may be important to know during an emergency.

Community Emergency Response Team
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program that educates and trains volunteers to respond to disasters such as wildfire. A nationwide program, CERT offers a consistent approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disasters, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.

Additional information on CERT can be found on the FEMA website and interested residents are encouraged to sign up on RFD’s list.

3.2 Wildfire Mitigation
Since 2019, RFD, REU, and City’s Public Works and Parks Departments have made considerable progress in clearing City-owned parks, trails, open spaces, and streets of hazard vegetation, through clearing, burning, and chipping. Also in 2019, the City Council approved the REU Wildfire Prevention & Improved Response Program, emphasizing the importance of protecting both public safety and infrastructure from wildfire threats.

The REU Wildfire Prevention Program outlines eight key strategies for mitigating wildfire risks, including vegetation management, enhanced inspection, and situational awareness. Other measures focus on operational practices, system hardening, public safety notifications, reclosing and de-energization procedures, and comprehensive wildfire response and recovery efforts.

Under the City Council's directive, REU has funded more than 20 new positions across the Fire and Parks Departments. These additional personnel are dedicated to enhancing fire prevention efforts throughout the City. Their roles are integral to implementing the wildfire mitigation strategies outlined in the program.

The City Council also approved the creation of additional firefighter positions within RFD, allowing the department to staff three-person engine companies at each of the City's fire stations, further strengthening the City's response capabilities and ensuring greater coverage for fire emergencies.
39 Packet Pg. 548 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Redding’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) lists wildfire as the first high-risk hazard in its risk assessment, based on past events experienced by the City. The LHMP further estimates that approximately 13,500 people have significant wildland fire exposure, as well as 5,050 structures valued at nearly $800 million.

The LHMP attributes the City’s wildland fire risk to three primary factors: ignition sources, fuel loading, and available resources for fire management. Addressing these risks involves several mitigation strategies. First, reducing ignition sources is crucial. This includes managing transient populations that might use fire, educating the public on safe practices when using mechanical equipment, and ensuring proper disposal of cigarettes.

The second factor involves managing and reducing the fuel load around urbanized areas, both on public and private property. This requires ongoing efforts to clear and manage vegetation to minimize fire hazards. The third factor is ensuring that there are adequate staffing and equipment available for responding to emergency incidents effectively.

As Redding grows by developing previously approved projects and undertaking new expansion, the risk associated with wildfires is expected to increase. This growth in development, particularly in high fire hazard severity zones, underscores the need for robust fire prevention and response measures.

Redding Electric Utility’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan
The primary goal of REU’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to reduce the likelihood that its transmission and distribution system could either cause or contribute to a wildfire, and to safeguard the system from wildfire damage. To achieve this, REU is actively assessing and implementing improvements to its physical assets, operations, and training. Changes will be made in alignment with this Plan, depending on available staffing and budget.

REU adheres to or exceeds industry standard vegetation management practices. For transmission-level facilities, REU complies with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Standard FAC-003-4, as applicable. For both transmission and distribution facilities, REU meets the requirements of: (1) Public Resources Code section 4292; (2) Public Resources Code section 4293; (3) GO 95 Rule 35; and (4) GO 95 Appendix E Guidelines to Rule

35. These standards mandate significantly increased clearances in High Fire Threat Districts. While the time-of-trim guidelines are not mandatory standards, they offer valuable guidance for utilities. REU uses its knowledge of local growing conditions and tree species to determine appropriate clearance times for each situation. REU manages both native and non-native trees in its service area, including vigorous species such as oak, tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and poison oak. This work is carried out by nine in-house arborists, supplemented by contracted inspectors and arborists.

3.3 Existing Fire Mitigation Projects
The City of Redding, CAL FIRE, BLM, and the McConnell Foundation have all undertaken strategic fuel reduction projects throughout the project area and in adjacent wildland areas.

These areas are included in the project recommendation mapping in section 5 and a standalone map of existing fuels projects appears on the following page.

Additionally, the City of Redding was awarded a $1.5 million CAL FIRE grant to manage hazardous fuels as part of a strategic plan to target fuels on City property that have significant potential for spreading a catastrophic wildfire.

4. COMMUNITY RISK ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
Wildfire risk in the western United States has been steadily increasing over the past several decades. Prolonged drought, climate change and later arrival of autumn rain are lengthening fire seasons. This is significant because a lack of precipitation during critical autumn weather periods increases the likelihood the Redding CWPP project area will have fires when strong winds are affecting the area in September, October and into November. Recent wind-driven large fires including the Tubbs, Camp, Bear, and Dixie have overwhelmed firefighting forces and burned into communities. During these wildland urban interface disasters, firefighters have had to abandon efforts at structure defense or perimeter control to focus on rescue and evacuations, as fires burned from house to house.

Because of the extreme difficulty in combating actively burning urban conflagrations, it is critical to prevent wildfires from becoming established within densely-populated areas.

Locations where wildland vegetation extends into neighborhoods and intermixes with flammable landscaping plants represent the highest priority areas for vegetation management and other hazard mitigation.

Goals of the community risk analysis:
● Identify areas of potential high-intensity wildfire or critical rates of spread ● Identify critical ignition points where fires could spread into the city ● Identify places where larger region-scale wildfire activity has the potential to spread into urban areas
● Test the effects of potential fuel treatment projects on fire behavior and spread Vegetation mapping and potential fire path modeling presentations were presented to RFD and other invited regional collaborators during meetings in February and May 2024. Fire behavior modeling outputs can be difficult to interpret by non-technical audiences, and hence are not included in CWPP documents. The original data inputs and simulation results of Deer Creek Resources’s fire modeling and risk analysis are available on request. The sections below describe the methodology used to determine exposure to high wildfire risk within the project area of this CWPP.

4.1 Data Collection & Field Visits
On September 18, 2023, Deer Creek Resources collected new aerial photography using both visible light and near infrared (NIR) cameras. NIR imagery shows subtle differences in the amount of chlorophyll in vegetation and is useful in mapping different vegetation types.

Photogrammetry from the DCR flight was used to create a three-dimensional canopy model which was then used to update fuel models created from aerial LiDAR data that had been collected for the project area by the U.S. Geological Survey in the autumn of 2019. 43 Packet Pg. 552 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Field Visits
Deer Creek Resources staff canvased the project area multiple times throughout the course of the project, collecting roadside imagery of existing vegetation conditions, locating, and validating potential vegetation management project areas, observing conditions in encampment areas, determining defensible space conditions throughout neighborhoods, and field- validating our fuels and fire behavior modeling.

4.2 Modeling Wildfire Risk
Numerical fire modeling and analysis software was used with data generated from aerial photography and LiDAR to identify potential fire pathways where wildfires can enter the urban core or spread through urban vegetation.

Figure 15: An example of predicted fire spread corridors under strong north wind events. 44 Packet Pg. 553 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Defensible Space Analysis
Many homes within the City of Redding lack defensible space, but individual fire-prone homes do not necessarily increase the overall flammability of a neighborhood. The CWPP analysis was designed to identify neighborhoods where clusters of homes lack defensible space, as these areas are vulnerable to high losses when a wildfire transitions to an urban conflagration.

Building footprint mapping was overlaid onto LiDAR and photo-derived vegetation density maps, and GIS cluster analysis was used to flag groupings of homes lacking clearance.

This approach follows upon research following the 2018 Camp Fire (Knapp and Valachovic, 2022) which found that the single most significant factor affecting structure loss was another burning structure within 60 feet.

Mapping Assets At Risk (High Value Resources or Assets – HVRA) To further determine priority areas for wildfire fuels reduction, DCR used GIS to overlay the following inputs: structures (from City of Redding GIS data), key access points, communications towers, powerlines, and electrical substations, as well as other community assets including schools, grocery stores, gas stations, medical care facilities, and summer camps (Figure 16, following page).

4.3 Using GIS to Determine Priority Project Areas
To guide development of priority mitigation project areas in Section 5, DCR staff created GIS maps which overlayed locations where significant groupings of assets-at-risk coincide with high wildfire hazard. These maps were reviewed with an overlay showing predicted spread corridors for wind-driven fires under both SW and N winds. The review maps also included layers for existing and historic wildfire fuels reduction projects, the results of the Defensible Space Analysis, described above, and buffers showing 100’ and 200’ distances from structures.

Conceptual project areas were drawn in GIS, and paper maps with the proposed project areas were reviewed by fire department staff before more detailed project boundaries were digitized in GIS.

Mitigation projects for these high-priority areas are described in the following section. 45 Packet Pg. 554 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 16: HVRA analysis within the project area.

5. SOLUTIONS & ACTION PLAN

5.1 Prioritizing Hazard Mitigation Projects
Vegetation management is a perpetual challenge. Many of the most problematic wildfire fuels/vegetation types are adapted to resprout vigorously after a fire or other disturbance because once they are cleared, they send up vigorous new growth. Live oak, California Bay, toyon, madrone, poison oak, and some types of manzanita are especially tenacious. Large-scale vegetation thinning also stimulates new vegetation growth by letting more sunlight hit the ground.

Most fuel reduction thinning projects should endeavor to leave as much shade as possible, and future maintenance needs should always be considered before any new work begins. Overthinning an area can actually make future fuels conditions worse if no follow-up occurs.

This CWPP establishes priority areas for vegetation management, and anticipates future growth in areas which have been thinned or burned in the recent past. Some of the proposed treatment areas in the maps in this section are not yet ready for thinning, but will have significant wildfire hazards in the next three to four years.

For areas that do require thinning, this CWPP recommends the following general guidelines:
• Removal of live oak under six-inch diameter if crowding a larger tree. • Prune branches to eight-feet above ground height to escape scrubby ladder fuels. • Target gray pine under six-inch diameter for removal. • Thin brush under gray pine if it is accumulating needle cast. • Reentry with goats or other grazers will help to keep regrowth in check.

The following reference photos provide a guide to desired and hazardous vegetation conditions. The City should use this as a starting point for developing prescriptions for vegetation management projects.
47 Packet Pg. 556 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Heavy Regrowth Following Roadside Thinning
Abundant sunlight and tendency for hardwoods to resprout makes maintaining roadside clearance a tough job. Herbicides can help with resprouting, but many hardwoods come back anyway. Retain as much shade as possible when thinning along roadsides.

Figure 17: Example of heavy regrowth that has occurred following roadside thinning.

Target High-Risk Areas
High hazard conditions abound within the City. Thinning should focus on areas adjacent to assets-at-risk, known ignition sources, and important access or egress routes.

Figure 18: Vegetation management should be prioritized in the most critical areas, such as this emergency route. 48 Packet Pg. 557 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Medium-Density Gray Pine
Mow grass and target ladder fuels under gray pine for removal. In areas near assets at risk, thin or target small gray pine for removal before they grow large.

Figure 19: Example of medium-density pine: mow and target ladder fuels.

Blue Oak Woodland
In blue oak woodlands, remove low dead material under oaks and pines while retaining as much shade as possible. Live oaks over a six-inch diameter should be retained. In general, blue oak seedlings should be retained wherever possible.

Figure 20: In blue oak woodlands, remove ladder fuels while preserving shade. 49 Packet Pg. 558 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Mixed Blue Oak & Riparian
Areas with a mix of blue oak and riparian vegetation are a low treatment priority if located over 200 feet from assets. If treatment is needed, limb branches to eight feet, remove dead material, leave all trees over six-inches in diameter, and mow or weed eat annually.

Figure 21: Mixed blue oak and riparian vegetation is a lower priority if more than 200 feet from assets.

Cottonwood Riparian
Mow around areas frequented by unhoused people. Pile burn or chip dead material and retain all hardwoods over six-inch diameter. Target ladder fuels under gray pine for removal.

Figure 22: Mow in riparian areas with heavy encampments while targeting ladder fuels. 50 Packet Pg. 559 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Riparian Scrub
Riparian areas are extremely productive and difficult to manage. Unless directly adjacent to assets, they are lower-priority management areas. Consider working with biologists to develop restoration projects and remove invasive species when managing vegetation in riparian areas.

Figure 23: Dense, productive riparian areas are lower priority unless adjacent to structures.

Burn Scar/Scrub Oak
Mow around assets at risk annually. Prune hardwoods back to two or three dominant stems to encourage development of trees versus allowing shrubs to form. Fall snags and chip or pileburn dead and down within 200 feet of assets. Avoid soil disturbance to minimize spread of yellow starthistle and broom.

Figure 24: Within burn scars, fall snags and prune back hardwood sprouts to encourage tree development over shrubby growth. 51 Packet Pg. 560 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Moderate Live Oak
In moderate growth areas as pictured, consider thinning live oak under six inches in diameter while retaining shade. Remove ladder fuels and prune branches under eight feet in height.

Grazing two years after thinning can minimize resprouts.

Figure 25: In moderate growth areas of live oak, thin smaller diameter trees and reduce ladder fuels while maintaining shade.

Heavy Live Oak
Retain shade and trees over six inches in diameter, while pruning branches under eight feet in height. Chip jackpots of dead and down in stands, and prune all dead material in the crowns.

Remove ladder fuels and brush under gray pine. Mow in areas that are adjacent to assets.

Figure 26: In heavier stands of live oak, reduce ladder fuels and remove dead material while retaining shade. 52 Packet Pg. 561 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Mature Gray Pine
Gray pine is a multi-trunked, highly flammable conifer that grows among oaks throughout the foothills of the Sacramento Valley. Fire is a natural component of oak and gray pine communities, with a historical fire interval of 15-30 years. Gray pine produce long needles (8 to 12 inches) which shed every two to three years and produce a dense, flammable needle cast in the understory. The tree is a heavy resin producer.

Large stands of mature gray pine are the highest hazard vegetative fuels in the City of Redding.

Massive, mature trees are difficult and cost-prohibitive to remove. Instead, focus instead on removing ladder fuels below them, including live oaks that are six to ten inches in diameter and shrubs that collect needle cast. Remove smaller gray pine within 200’ of structures before they become large.

Educate nearby residents on flammability of the species, and encourage people to reduce brush, small trees, and landscaping nearby which can become draped with pine needles.

Figure 27: Clusters of gray pine can be difficult to remove. Instead, focus on the understory and manage needle accumulation. 53 Packet Pg. 562 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) All of The Above
In dense mixed vegetation of pines, oaks, and manzanita, remove dead material, prune oak branches to eight feet in height, mow or weed eat annually, remove small gray pine within 200 feet of structures, and target scrubby ladder fuels holding needle cast under gray pine.

Figure 28: Areas with heavy mixed vegetation require the full management toolkit. 54 Packet Pg. 563 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) 2018 Carr Fire Scar
Within the Carr Fire burn scar, focus on treating fuels within 200 feet of assets. Pile and burn dead and down material. Fall hazardous snags as larger dead trees become more dangerous to fall over time. Future wildfires will run through contiguous fuels within the scar. Look for tactical opportunities to reintroduce prescribed fire into the burn scar after smaller wildfires like the 2024 Lower Fire create gaps. Use targeted thinning, fresh burn, dozer lines, and contingency lines to anchor larger burning projects during dormant/winter burn windows.

Figure 29: The Carr Fire burn scar offers opportunities to use prescribed fire to mitigate future wildfires. 55 Packet Pg. 564 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Pile Burning
Chipping is easier to complete and requires no mop-up or patrol, but piling and burning is effective in areas lacking chipper access. Build piles in spring, let dry out for the summer, cover in fall, and burn after soaking rains in the winter. Smoldering piles can start wildfires months after they have been burned, so patrol and mop-up are essential.

Figure 30: Numerous burn piles spot open space areas on the west side of the City.

5.2 Projects by Fire Station District
The Redding Fire Department manages a network of eight strategically positioned fire stations, facilitating swift response times and effective management of fire situations. Each station is staffed with skilled firefighters prepared to manage various emergencies, including structural and wildland fires, medical crises, and hazardous materials incidents. The stations coordinate response as a cohesive department, so each station is not solely responsible for its jurisdiction, enabling a unified and efficient response to incidents throughout the City.

The CWPP projects recommended below are designated by fire station district. By dividing the City into specific areas of responsibility aligned with the existing fire station coverage areas, projects listed in this CWPP seek to enhance the City's overall wildfire preparedness and response capabilities.

The table in Appendix D provides a full list of the recommended mitigation projects. 56 Packet Pg. 565 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 31: Redding Fire Department district map.

Central and downtown Redding, Quartz Hill, and Sulphur Creek hill and drainage are included in Station 1’s territory. Areas south or west of the Sacramento River are mostly without wildland exposure, while there is significant wildfire risk north of the river.

The highest priority for mitigation is the Sulphur Creek drainage due to its fire vulnerability and the significant number of people experiencing homelessness who use the area due to its proximity to downtown services. The area has limited access for firefighting equipment and sees frequent unauthorized camping and a high rate of ignitions. Vegetation management strategies are crucial here, including prescribed burns aimed at reducing fuel loads within 200 feet of structures. Weed eating and regular trash removal should take place in areas adjacent to known encampments.
58 Packet Pg. 567 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 32: Trash and debris in the Sulphur Creek Hill area adjacent to Market Street.

South of Sulphur Creek, strategic roadside thinning in Redding Heights aims to create firebreaks against the prevailing winds and safeguard the community from fire threats. In the Benton Tract neighborhood, extensive fuel thinning should be implemented along the powerline corridor, complementing grazing initiatives to maintain defensible space. This strategy supports the safe implementation of prescribed burns on the north-facing slope towards Sulphur Creek, enhancing fire resilience between the substation and the train tracks.

Existing grazing programs have created excellent holding conditions for prescribed fire to reduce ladder fuels and standing dead or downed fuels on the north facing slope. These efforts aim to reduce ladder fuels and dead debris, crucial for preventing fires from ascending into the neighborhood from Benton Drive. Preparation for prescribed fire units along ridge lines is recommended to both prep for controlled burns and to bolster firefighting efforts during the area's frequent fire occurrences.

To the west, in the Quartz Hill and River Park Highlands neighborhoods, defensible space and weed abatement enforcement projects are recommended to target fire-prone areas susceptible to southwest winds and potential fires spreading upslope into homes. Additional development is being pursued on Quartz Hill and implementing measures to improve access behind homes and fire hydrants at the end of cul-de-sacs is recommended. 59 Packet Pg. 568 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 33: Heavy vegetation, ladder fuels, and gray pine in the north-south oriented gully off River Park Drive.

Encampments are also common along the river corridor, the railroad tracks, and the AndersonCottonwood Irrigation District (ACID) irrigation canal, as well as under the Cypress Avenue Bridge. These areas should be targeted for weed eating among tall grass and regular trash removal.

Table 6: Station 2 stats from RFD website.

Station 2’s coverage area includes the west-central part of Redding from the Sacramento River, west to the Mary Lake neighborhood and Placer Street, and southeast through half the length of Buenaventura Boulevard. This is one of the more high-risk areas of the City due to contiguous fuels to the west. This edge of town narrowly escaped the Carr Fire and with the rapid regrowth of vegetative fuels, potential remains for a similar event to occur.

Subdivisions on the edge of town include Mary Lake, Rolling Hills, Placer Hills, Westside Estates, Ridgeview, and White Hawk Estates. These are densely built neighborhoods, and many homes are built on ridges adjacent to steep, wildland areas. In some of these neighborhoods, properties have long, narrow lots that extend into areas of contiguous fuel which could carry a fire from the wildland, up the slope, and into the neighborhood. Homeowners may not recognize that they are responsible for defensible space in these difficult to manage areas. 62 Packet Pg. 571 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 35: Heavy vegetation, gray pine, and dead manzanita behind homes in the Ridgeview neighborhood.

While homes in these neighborhoods tend to be well maintained, with fire resistant roofing material, and moderate landscaping hazards, this area is a high priority for education projects.

The projects should inform property owners of their defensible space responsibilities, provide information on how to best landscape to mitigate fire hazards, and include home-hardening tips.

Vegetation thinning projects are recommended along the edge of these communities to prevent wildland fires from burning into the neighborhood. The power line clearance to the west provides an opportunity for a fuel break and should be a high priority for grazing. Areas west of the Mary Lake neighborhood burned during the Carr Fire still have heavy fuel loads and should continue to be a priority for post fire cleanup. The hillside west of the City limit is dotted with hundreds of burn piles. Standing dead trees should be downed to improve firefighter safety.

North of the Benton Airpark, an open lot of approximately 25 acres bordered by Placer Street on the south and Shasta Street on the north is a high priority for ladder fuel reduction and grazing to prevent a grass fire from climbing into the tree canopy and spotting into neighborhoods. Most of this open space is City-owned and the City should coordinate vegetation reduction with private landowners whose parcels are adjacent. 63 Packet Pg. 572 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Unauthorized camping is common along Linden Avenue, south of the Mercy Medical Center campus. This area, referred to as Mercy Canyon or Linden Ditch, should be targeted for trash removal and weed eating around encampments to reduce fuels that may spread an accidental ignition from a cooking or warming fire upslope to the Mercy Medical Center or the Indian Hills Subdivision.

The grasslands between Buenaventura Boulevard and the Benton Airpark are a high priority for prescribed fire both for RFD wildland fire training and to act as a buffer against southwest wind driven fires burning from the Ridgeview area north into the Airpark.

At the north edge of Station 2’s coverage, the Carr Fire burned along the Sacramento River corridor from Keswick Dam to the Sunset neighborhood. Many standing dead trees still exist in this area and should be downed for firefighter safety.

Table 7: Station 3 stats from RFD website.

Station 3 covers the area south of downtown, the South Market Street/SR 273 and railroad corridor, the Breslauer neighborhood, the ridgetop communities of Shasta Terrace, Shasta Gardens, Wheeler Estates, Breslauer, Country Heights, and the Branstetter area in the southwest.

A high number of encampments exist south of downtown in Parkview Riverfront Park, in a forested area near the ACID canal north of Breslauer Way, and in a couple clusters along the railroad tracks. Known encampment areas should be targeted for trash removal and annual weed eating in areas of heavy grass.

The railroad crossing at Breslauer Way and South Market Street/SR 273 is a hazard for long trailers and caused a train collision in 2023 when a semi-truck was high-centered and became stuck. The collision caused major damage and traffic disruptions. A future accident here could cause emergency response delays and this CWPP recommends that a sign be added to the intersection to warn truck drivers.

North of Grandview Avenue and west of Railroad Avenue, the slope has heavy vegetation and wildland conditions surrounding homes. Access is moderate here. Educational outreach about defensible space and home hardening is recommended for property owners here.

The heavily traveled Buenaventura Boulevard corridor is regularly thinned and these vegetation management activities should continue, particularly between the intersections with Starlight Boulevard and South Market Street/SR 273. This area typically sees a few ignitions every summer.

These areas are high priority for hazard reduction thinning and trash removal. The Oakview Subdivision and County Heights neighborhood upslope from Canyon Hollow has good clearance, but a southeasterly moving fire could push up this canyon.

The ridgetop neighborhoods of Shasta Terrace, Shasta Gardens, Wheeler Estates, Country Heights, and Starburst Drive. Like the populated ridgetops under Station 2’s coverage, these densely neighborhoods include homes that have been built on ridges adjacent to steep, wildland areas. Properties with long, narrow lots may extend contiguous fuel sources with the potential to carry a fire up the slope and into the neighborhood. Parcel layout in these neighborhoods makes large-scale fuel reduction behind homes difficult due to lack of access for chippers and other heavy equipment. The fractured ownership means that multiple landowners must be engaged to accomplish projects. Homeowners may not recognize that they are responsible for defensible space in these difficult to manage areas. These properties here tend to be well maintained but are still a high priority for education projects to inform property owners of their defensible space responsibilities and provide landscape and include homehardening tips.

Figure 37: Roadside thinning project along Starburst Drive demonstrates improved conditions. 67 Packet Pg. 576 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Roadside thinning could be improved along Bransetter Lane where many property owners have done a respectable job of clearing brush and mowing grass, but heavy pockets of ladder fuels remain, particularly on the south side of the road.

In the southwest corner of Station 2’s coverage, gray pine dominated forests spread for miles.

While this area is sparsely populated, roadside thinning of brush and ladder fuels is recommended to keep any vehicle-related ignitions from moving into the canopy. Heavy gray pine adjacent structures pose the highest fuel hazard and should be a high priority for removal.

Gray pine removal is difficult and expensive, so young trees should be targeted as well as the removal of understory brush. Two power line corridors cut large fuel breaks bisecting Texas Springs Road and can be used strategically.

Table 8: Station 4 stats from RFD website.

Wildland fire hazards are moderate in Station 4’s coverage area due to its urban nature and heavy industry. The southwest arm of district contains large quarries and associated pit ponds, construction yards, concrete production facility, which are a low fire hazard due to lack of vegetation. Some areas along Clear Creek Road should be targeted for roadside thinning.

There are extensive encampments on Olney Creek near South Market Street/SR 273, and fires starting here could threaten the adjacent mobile home park and ecological assets in the riparian corridor. This area is a high priority for patrol, weed eating tall grass, and regular trash removal.

The area west of the Westwood neighborhood borders wildland, along the edge of the ACID Canal, which serves as a small fuel break. The Redding Rancheria and Win-River Resort and Casino land are in a state responsibility area. Wildland fire concerns of the tribe will be discussed in the Shasta County CWPP. The Redding Ranchettes subdivision adjacent to the casino has large lots and is primarily grassland with the potential for wind-driven fires to be problematic, but there is good access, field surveys revealed multiple examples of excellent defensible space on private lots, and fires will be discovered quickly because of the urban environment. The threat from the wildland here is not extreme and Station 4’s concerns should focus on controlling structure fires.

Table 9: Station 5 stats from RFD website.

Station 5’s coverage area is mostly urban with some potential for a fire in the wrong place to spread through the neighborhoods using backyard vegetation and houses as fuel. There is no real wildland urban interface threat except in open spaces and parks, making the priority in neighborhoods educational outreach on how an urban fire can spread through landscaping.

Educational outreach should target property owners in the Western Ranches, Alta Mesa, Western Oaks, and Victor Estates subdivisions north of Rancho Road where residential landscaping forms fuel continuity through the area. One pocket of classic WUI vegetation exists at the intersection of Rancho Road and Shasta View Drive where houses within 100 yards of the area should be targeted with information on defensible space and home hardening.

Neighborhoods surrounding Churn Creek should also receive educational outreach.

Emergency vehicle access should be improved at Enterprise Park near Churn Creek open space.

This could be addressed with the acquisition of UTVs or smaller Type 6 fire engines.

Elsewhere in the Station 5 district, there are extensive clusters of encampments in Turtle Bay East, at Cypress Avenue and spreading south along the heavily vegetated river corridor, and along the Churn Creek urban interface area. Encampments create potential for fire to spread from cooking or warming fires. These areas should receive regular trash removal and annual weed eating in tall grass. Apartment complexes along the Churn Creek corridor are high priority for weed abatement enforcement, with some limited brush removal necessary to mitigate fire risk.

Table 10: Station 6 stats from RFD website.

Station 6 covers North Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District. This area has the highest exposure to extreme north wind-driven fires which have the potential to devastate parts of the City. While some property owners have made admirable efforts to create and maintain defensible space, most lots are overgrown and emergency access is poor. The size of Station 6’s district also affects response time. Large-scale projects here should include annual evaluations of Station 6’s capabilities for containing a north wind-driven fire and focus on the corridors for major fire spread described below.

The communities of Buckeye and the town of Shasta Lake both border Redding’s northern city limits, sharing wildfire exposure. Wind-driven fire scenarios could easily spread from community to community and close coordination should be maintained between jurisdictions.

The Shasta Lake Fire Protection District has completed work on fuel breaks on portions of the town’s southern city limit, bordering both Buckeye and Redding. These fuel breaks will help slow fires moving between jurisdictions.
75 Packet Pg. 584 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) A major area of concern in Station 6’s district is a private parcel in a gray pine-dominated forest north of Oasis Road/Interstate 5 exchange, west of Cascade Road, and south of the town of Shasta Lake.

Figure 43: Area of Concern North of Oasis Road
A spring 2024 survey by the City of Redding mapped 27 homeless encampments in this area in the wildland here and the Redding Police Department has advised the Redding Fire Department to avoid patrolling this area due to organized criminal activity. The area has also experienced what appears to be unplanned earth-moving and excavations with constructed berms and ditches constructed, further hampering access.
76 Packet Pg. 585 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 44: Encampment north of Oasis Road, west of Cascade Boulevard.

The primary concern here is that heavy human use will cause an ignition during critical north wind conditions in the fall, and that that a fire could quickly spread into the neighborhoods off Oasis Road. The fuel type changes from gray pine and live oak dominated forest in the north to blue oak grassland in the south, so fires moving out of this area under less than extreme conditions will be more controllable. However, under critical conditions there is potential for fire to spread extremely rapidly.

This same combination of forested wildlands and illegal use issues extend west to the Union Pacific Railroad corridor on the edge of Buckeye, and poor access for prevention and suppression compounds the threat. Fires in this area can quickly spread to the south. 77 Packet Pg. 586 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 45: Heavy roadside fuels on Beltline Road, north of Oasis Road.

Cascade Boulevard is a high priority for thinning between Oasis Road and Riddle Road, to the north. When a fire starts in the wildlands west of here and runs south, thinning along Cascade will make it easier to hold the left flank of the fire with minimal resources, freeing up resources to work the head of the fire. Thinning along Cascade Blvd will aid in suppression of ignitions from vehicles and other human activities.

The low-density residential area north of Oasis Road between the Union Pacific railroad tracks and Interstate 5 (Randolph Road, Witch Way, Sandstone Drive), and also the area between Oasis Road and Old Oasis Road are a priority area for defensible space education and weed abatement enforcement—largely to prevent late-season structure fires from spreading to the vegetation and threatening the rest of the City, to the south.

North wind-driven fires that start in the areas north of Oasis and Old Oasis Roads will generally run into the industrial Mountain Lakes neighborhood, bordered by Beltline Road and Caterpillar Road to the south. While there are opportunities for responders to halt a fire’s progress here, due to major disruptions of wildland fuels caused by pavement, gravel parking yards, and large buildings, fires could hopscotch through the vegetated, undeveloped sections of this industrial neighborhood. Areas of dense vegetation that could provide a corridor for wildland fire spread to the south should be a priority for defensible space and weed abatement code enforcement in this area.
78 Packet Pg. 587 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 46: Mountain Lakes Industrial Neighborhood creates a large-scale fuel break. Vacant lots and open spaces here are high priority for prescribed burns.

Around the Mt. Vista, Crestview, Blossom Vista, Los Robles Hills, Northpoint subdivisions, and the Redwoods Mobile Home Community, many properties are lacking compliance with public resource code 4291 and should be a high priority for enforcement.

In the northwest corner of Station 6’s coverage, neighborhoods off Lake Boulevard/A18 including Schade Acres, the Buckeye Subdivision, Silverthorn, and Newtown are heavily forested and many homes are situated on roads with a single ingress/egress point. Additionally, fire department personnel have noted that notification can be an issue in this area due to lowincome residents not having access to cellular phones or devices. Communities along the Lake Boulevard corridor should be prioritized for defensible space education and roadside thinning. 79 Packet Pg. 588 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 47: Heavy roadside vegetation in the Buckeye area.

Figure 48: Example of well-maintained defensible space on private property in the Buckeye area. 80 Packet Pg. 589 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Dirt frontage roads along the railroad tracks have been blocked by large rocks or concrete barriers. While these obstacles cut down on illegal entry and potential ignitions, they also prevent firefighting equipment from rapid access to any fires. This CWPP recommends that these large rocks and barriers be removed and replaced with gates that fire personnel and other approved agencies can quickly open, in the event of an emergency. Heavy vegetation exists along this railroad corridor and it is used for dumping rubbish and other illegal activities, so emergency access is essential. Bulldozing and grading the frontage roads adjacent to the railroad may improve firefighter access, but this decision must be weighed with the fact that access will improve for the public, as well.

South of Oasis Road, heavy fuels behind Redding Stem Academy and Excel Academy, along the railroad corridor, can act as a wick to carry north wind-driven fires originating north of Oasis Road to the south, toward residential areas.

Figure 51: Heavy vegetation along railroad south of Oasis Road. 82 Packet Pg. 591 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) High density development in Lake Forest Estates has generally poor vegetation management compliance. This neighborhood backs up to forested wildland areas and the Union Pacific Railroad corridor which serve as a wick where north wind fire can spread out of the industrial areas. With heavy wildland vegetation adjacent to structures, fire can spread between the industrial areas and Lake Boulevard, and to the Buckeye area in the north.

Figure 52: Lake Forest Estates
83 Packet Pg. 592 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Panorama Drive presents another high-priority area for the City and is considered a strategic anchor point in the event of north wind-driven fire event. Flanked by heavily vegetated wildland slopes on all sides, residents of the homes here share a single ingress/egress point.

Property owners should receive targeted educational outreach to inform them of their defensible space responsibilities and fire-hardening best practices.

Figure 53: Panorama Drive neighborhood.

In the Sulfur Creek drainage to the north of Panorama Drive, unauthorized camping is common and this area should be targeted for trash cleanup and weed eating around encampments.

Figure 54: Upper Panorama neighborhood.
84 Packet Pg. 593 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) The tunnel where Sulphur Creek runs under the Union Pacific train tracks provides the only direct access to area in Lower Sulphur Creek west of the train tracks. Erosion at the outlet of the tunnel hinders vehicle access. Bringing in rock to re-establish vehicular access through the tunnel would greatly increase rescue and fire response capabilities west of the train tracks.

Currently, access is only possible on foot.

Figure 55: Access improvements are needed where Sulphur Creek passes under the Union Pacific railroad. 85 Packet Pg. 594 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Station 6 also includes Stanford Hills near Keswick Dam, a neighborhood that was leveled by the Carr Fire. Vegetation here is regrowing vigorously and this area should receive regular thinning as the fire hazard increases. Standing dead trees here should be downed to improve firefighter safety, especially in areas adjacent to homes or roads that would have tactical value during a wildfire.

Grass fuels, standing dead, and brush fuels are the largest concerns and highest priorities in the areas burned by the Carr Fire. Outreach and educational activities here should focus on annual mowing and weed eating vacant lots, and around homes and assets of value in late spring as green grasses cure.

Figure 56: Carr Fire damage near Stanford Hills.

Station 6’s coverage includes neighborhoods east of Interstate 5. Like the Station 8 area, the terrain here is flatter with shallow soils and grasslands. The large amount of dried grass in the fall means that a north wind event could cause a fire to move very quickly through the area.

Homes are largely clustered into subdivisions, including some new developments, and hazard reduction projects here should focus on weed abatement enforcement. 86 Packet Pg. 595 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 57: Manzanita, ladder fuels, and standing dead off Akrich Street.

Surrounded by an irrigated golf course, the Gold Hills subdivision has some wildland exposure and a single ingress/egress point at Oasis Road. North of Hope Lane, there is a large expanse of open wildland where a fire may gain momentum. Further north, the Tierra Oaks subdivision also includes an irrigated golf course, but houses in the community are laid out in alignment with potential movement of a north wind-driven fire. The 2021 Fawn Fire came close to burning parts of the subdivision. Parcels here are like the ridgetop communities in the west of town, with long, narrow lots that back up to unmanaged wildlands. Homeowners may not recognize their defensible space responsibilities. Defensible space education and enforcement should be a priority in both Gold Hills and Tierra Oaks.

In the northeast corner of the city limits, the Fawn Fire left many standing dead trees. In areas where future fire lines are likely to be located, these snags should be downed to improve firefighter safety.
87 Packet Pg. 596 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 58: Standing dead trees left from the Fawn Fire.

Outside of the city limits, Bear Mountain Road is a main transportation artery. Wildlands fuels are abundant, and due to the population density, the area experiences frequent fires. Fires starting in this area have potential to impact the City during north wind-driven fire events.

Mitigation needs for these areas will be addressed in the Shasta County CWPP. 88 Packet Pg. 597 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 59: Station 6 Project Map Packet Pg. 598 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Station 7 (Airport, Rancho, Robles North, Wooded Acres North, Open Space South of Dersch) Acreage Covered 4,492

The Redding Municipal Airport is served by the Redding Fire Department for emergency responses in accordance with CFR Part 139 regulations. Fire Station 7 is located directly on the airport premises, and in the event of an aircraft emergency, the initial response is managed by Air Rescue 7 and 72, both equipped to deploy foam and dry chemical fire suppressants. A water tender is also housed at Station 7.

Station 7 also covers industrial areas in the southeast, adjacent wetlands, and blue oak grasslands. This CWPP does not identify many priority projects here, although there are some homeless encampments along the powerline corridor that should receive trash removal and weed eating. Property owners north of Rancho Road should also be targeted for educational outreach on defensible space and home hardening.

Large developments are planned near Rancho Road, Shasta View Drive, and the airport. This CWPP recommends that any new developments be made with multiple access points, fuel breaks, fire hydrants at the ends of cul-de-sacs, and consideration for fire equipment. 90 Packet Pg. 599 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Figure 60: Station 7 Project Map

Table 12: Station 8 stats from RFD website.

Station 8’s coverage area is like that of Station 5: urban with fire potential in landscaping vegetation. WUI threat is moderate except around the Churn Creek open space and other parks. Neighborhood outreach on how an urban fire can spread through landscaping is a priority in the district.

This section of Redding is characterized by shallow soils and poor growing conditions for vegetation except the gullies that drain to Churn Creek in the west and Stillwater Creek in the east. Much of this area is exposed to north wind-driven fires that can move quickly through these neighborhoods. As such these areas are high priority for weed abatement and mowing enforcement especially areas adjacent to open spaces and Churn Creek, where there are an abundance of encampments. Regular trash removal and annual weed eating should occur around persistent encampment locations. Access to certain areas in Churn Creek may be difficult for larger equipment and the acquisition of UTVs or smaller Type 6 fire engines is recommended.

Elsewhere in District 8, many larger lots back up to heavier wildland fuels. This CWPP has mapped priority areas for education/outreach about their wildfire exposure and how to mitigate that risk.

This project recommends outreach and education projects for neighborhoods adjacent to large open spaces including this one. 93 Packet Pg. 602 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) In the North Hilltop area, slopes leading up from the river are covered with heavy vegetation and gray pine. It appears some thinning has been done to create a fuel break near the River Knolls Apartments overlooking the river, but an overgrown gully of ladder fuels and gray pines still presents significant fire risk.

Figure 63: Overgrown gully leading to North Hilltop neighborhood.

Old Oregon Trail runs north-south on the east edge of Redding. Roadside vegetation management is inconsistent with some areas being dense and brushy while others are clear and open. Fires off Old Oregon Trail tend to be quickly reported due to heavy vehicle traffic. Shaded fuel breaks are recommended on Old Oregon Trail south of SR 299. These provide fire mitigation while also remaining aesthetically pleasing.

The City may soon annex land off Old Oregon Trail and parcels here would include 3-10 acre lots. The CWPP recommends that any development off Old Oregon Trail be made with multiple access points, fuel breaks, fire hydrants at the ends of cul-de-sacs, and consideration for fire equipment.

5.3 Develop a Vegetation Management Plan
This project recommends that the City of Redding develop a vegetation management plan (VMP) that covers all wildfire hazard mitigation projects in this document and non-fire-related projects which involve work to manage vegetation to enhance natural resources across all land owned and managed by the City, including parks, greenways, and open spaces. It should build upon the hazard assessment work done by this project and develop policies and actions focused on reducing the harmful impacts of wildfire in the community, while protecting and in many cases enhancing Redding’s natural resources. The City’s General Plan also recommends establishing a comprehensive landscape and vegetation management program to more effectively protect the community from wildfire hazards.

This project should include a programmatic environmental planning process which covers all City-owned lands, and if possible, the lands of major open space parcels owned by private entities who are interested in participating in the process. Redding should consider modeling it after the 2020 City of Chico Vegetative Fuels Management Plan (VFMP) which was developed by the Butte County Resource Conservation District (RCD).

This planning process should cover post-fire vegetation management and tree ordinance issues as they relate to hazardous fuels reduction and postfire snag removal.

The primary purpose of the VMP is to help prioritize projects, and to streamline environmental permitting for future projects. Reaching out to the Butte RCD and City of Chico Parks Department is recommended to discuss lessons learned from their 2020 planning process.

In conjunction with the development of a VMP, this CWPP recommends that the City develop a fuel management/maintenance ordinance to give officials an enforcement tool.

5.4 Prescribed Fire & Adaptive Wildfire Tactics
There are a wide variety of opportunities to use prescribed fires to improve the function, safety, aesthetics, and resiliency of the wildland areas within Redding city limits. This CWPP recommends that the Redding Fire Department increase their ability to use fire to strategically control hazardous fuels. This can be done by helping department staff gain experience in burning on local projects with cooperators, and securing funding to send staff to prescribed fire-specific trainings such as TREX (Prescribed Fire Training Exchange) events. Specifically, The Nature Conservancy conducts annual TREX events in Nebraska which are focused on grassland burning.

The City should also engage large landowners and the surrounding agricultural community to educate, promote, plan, and support prescribed burns on private and public lands in and around the City.

While prescribed fires temporarily affect air quality, recent burns on grasslands adjacent to Chico’s Bidwell Park have generated little in the way of complaints or smoke impacts. Any prescribed burns within the City will need to consider wind direction, mixing height, and their 96 Packet Pg. 605 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) proximity to vulnerable populations, but grass burns generally create limited smoke if the fuels are dry enough. Air quality impacts can also be reduced by subdividing burn units and burning them in chunks.

Prescribed fire’s utility in the management of invasive vegetation is well-documented. The conceptual burn units identified in the maps for this document were designed to meet multiple objectives. If the City is interested in advancing these types of projects, contracting with a California State Fire Marshal-certified burn boss to develop detailed prescriptions and burn objectives (using the State’s burn plan template) would be the next step.

Adaptive wildfire tactics describe using methods other than direct attack on the fire to put it out. This can happen at a wide variety of scales, and is suggested only for use on City-owned lands unless pre-agreements are developed with private entities. Tactics might include using a rake to coax a grass fire burning around a popular camping area under a bridge out to a nearby trail, or waiting for a low-intensity grass fire to reach a nearby road or trail instead of attacking it directly. The basic principle is taking advantage of a small wildfire which is burning under lessthan critical conditions to do some micro-scale prescribed burning when conditions make it feasible and safe. One basic principle here is that allowing a fire to burn to an existing trail or road within 30-50 feet often makes mop up and patrol easier, and can reduce resource commitment times.

Some fires ignite in areas where the geography (islands, mine tailings, or on a river bend gravel bar) mean the fire is mostly contained when it starts. In some scenarios like this, allowing a fire to burn itself out may be the most sensible approach, as the affected area will have no wildfire risk for the remainder of the fire season. This CWPP recommends that RFD develop protocols that provide operational personnel guidance on how and where adaptive tactics can be implemented.

This CWPP also suggests that the City minimize the use of plastic culverts, irrigation risers, or polymer-based gravel stabilizers in areas where prescribed fire may be applied in the future, or which are likely to burn in future wildfires. The City should also minimize the use of synthetic geotextiles in grassland or vegetation restoration projects which may be good locations to treat vegetation with fire in the future.
97 Packet Pg. 606 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan)

5.5 Code & Policy Recommendations
This CWPP recommends the following code or policy changes to help RFD mitigate wildfire risk through the City of Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District. Recommendations regarding new developments are strongly recommended for planning new subdivisions on the west side of the City, like Peaks in the Carr Fire burn scar and Westridge off Placer Road.

Down Dead Trees After Fires
Cutting down the snags and standing dead that exist throughout many previously burned areas in Redding is crucial for reducing fuel load and improving firefighter safety. Dead or dying trees will be downed if they threaten to fall on a road or structure but are often left standing within the interior of a burn scar if they do not present an immediate threat. This will reduce the amount of fuel and serve to protect firefighters working in a subsequent fire in the area.

Allowing RFD agency to remove these snags within past fire scars is essential for managing longterm fire risk in Redding. As brush and other vegetation quickly return to burned areas, the potential for new fires in these regions increases. By funding and implementing programs that allow RFD to remove snags, Redding can ensure that these areas are better prepared for future fire events. Investing in snag removal supports the broader goals of fire prevention, safety, and sustainable land management in Redding.

This CWPP recommends that standing dead trees on City property be felled and removed when they have been evaluated by RFD and determined to be hazardous and within a potential future fire line, exempting a formal review process by the City arborist. Standing dead trees on private property should be the responsibility of the property owner to remove them at the request of RFD or the City arborist.

Fire Hydrants at the End of Cul-de-Sacs in New Developments This CWPP recommends that Redding mandate the installation of fire hydrants at the end of cul-de-sacs in new housing developments within Redding's WUI areas. Cul-de-sacs are commonly featured in Redding’s residential neighborhoods and present challenges for emergency response. As the City expands, particularly into the WUI, it is important that new neighborhoods are designed with fire protection measures. Requiring fire hydrants at these critical locations provides firefighters with immediate and reliable access to water. This proactive code recommendation will facilitate quicker fire suppression and reduce the risk of extensive property damage and loss of life.
98 Packet Pg. 607 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Access Between Lots in New Subdivisions
Requiring access between lots in new subdivisions and housing developments in the City of Redding is a crucial step in enhancing fire safety and management in WUI areas. Many older subdivisions in these high-risk areas lack access behind houses, posing significant challenges for fire mitigation and firefighting efforts. In contrast, some newer subdivisions have incorporated access, demonstrating the practical benefits of this design feature. To improve overall community safety and preparedness, it is recommended that the City of Redding require similar access in new housing developments, particularly in areas prone to wildfires.

Figure 65: Permanent, designated access on Mistey Glen Drive.

The primary purpose of providing access between lots is to facilitate fire mitigation efforts. Fire mitigation personnel and chipping equipment need to reach all areas within a subdivision to effectively remove and reduce hazardous fuels, such as overgrown vegetation and dead trees.

Without clear pathways, these efforts are hampered, leaving properties vulnerable. This not only helps protect individual properties but also enhances the overall resilience of the community against wildfire threats.

Quick, unhindered access to all areas within a subdivision is essential for effective firefighting.

Access routes between lots allow firefighters to navigate through residential areas without delays, improving their ability to control ignitions before they spread. Requiring these access points in new developments will enhance the City's firefighting capabilities, protecting lives and reducing property damage during wildfire incidents.
99 Packet Pg. 608 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Vacant Property Registration Ordinance
In Redding, many vacant properties suffer from a lack of regular maintenance. Increasing residential foreclosures may lead to a rise in abandoned properties. These neglected properties often become high-risk areas for wildfires due to poor maintenance, overgrown vegetation, and non-compliance with fire safety regulations. Abandoned properties may also attract a buildup of encampments. Regular inspections can identify these properties, track them through a vacant property registry, and address potential hazards before they escalate. Code Enforcement plays a role in this process, collaborating with the Redding Fire Department to assess and mitigate risks. Citations can be issued for violations and the City can work directly with property owners to rectify issues, ensuring compliance with fire safety standards.

Establishing a Vacant Property Registration Ordinance, administered by the City’s Code Enforcement Division in collaboration with RFD, can create a structured approach to managing vacant and abandoned properties. This ordinance should be designed to provide property owners with educational and outreach opportunities to bring their properties into lasting compliance with minimum established standards, thereby avoiding a stricter enforcement process.

A Vacant Property Registration Ordinance can create accountability and allow for more comprehensive enforcement of nuisance properties. By mandating that property owners maintain and secure their vacant and abandoned properties, these ordinances help preserve safety, neighborhood quality of life, and property values.

To enhance fire safety and reduce wildfire risks, it is recommended that the City of Redding implement a policy for fuels mitigation treatment around and near frequently used encampments. These areas often accumulate significant amounts of dry vegetation and trash, both of which can serve as highly flammable fuels. The proposed policy should include regular weeding, mowing, and trash removal to systematically reduce these hazards. By maintaining these areas and ensuring that they are free from excessive combustible materials, the City can significantly lower the likelihood of fires starting and spreading, thereby protecting both the residents of these encampments and the surrounding communities.

Such a policy would not only mitigate fire risks but also contribute to the overall cleanliness and safety of public spaces. Implementing regular maintenance schedules for these treatments would ensure consistent management of the areas in question, preventing the build-up of dangerous fuels over time. Additionally, engaging local organizations and volunteers in these efforts could foster community involvement and support for the initiative. Proactively addressing these fire hazards creates a safer environment for all residents while demonstrating a commitment to wildfire prevention and public safety.

Packet Pg. 609 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Damage to fire hydrants has become a recurring problem in the Mercy Canyon/Linden Ditch and Sulfur Creek areas, creating a potential water supply issue in fire-prone areas. Replacement of hydrants can cost up to $9,000 each.

Working with the Redding Water Utility, RFD has developed a cap and lock system to deter hydrant vandalism and ensure that water is available during fire suppression activities. The photos in Figure 66 demonstrate a saw-damaged hydrant alongside images of a prototype secured hydrant that have been in place in problem areas since December 2023. While a locked hydrant does require another step to access water during incidents, RFD has concluded that the compromise is justifiable to safeguard water required to put out fires.

These secured hydrants do not need to be installed throughout the city, but have proven to be effective at preventing damage. This CWPP recommends installing them in other areas where hydrants may be rendered inoperable.

Figure 66: Damaged hydrant with sawed-damaged stem nut in Linden Gulch, and new cap and lock system.

Grant Funding for Housing
The City of Redding should continue to pursue grant funding aimed at developing housing solutions for the specific intent of reducing fire ignitions within pockets of wildland frequented by people experiencing homelessness. By assisting people move into transitional housing, the City can effectively decrease the presence of unsheltered populations in vulnerable wildland areas. This strategic approach aims to mitigate fire risks and enhance overall community safety.

Lowering the incidence of ignitions in these critical zones will consequently reduce Redding's susceptibility to wildfires.

Funding to Augment Prescribed Fire Planning & Implementation Capacity RFD should pursue funding for a part-time contract position which will coordinate a prescribed fire program within the department, including managing training, writing burn plans, and smoke management plans, implementing burns, and training RFD staff toward getting certified 101
Packet Pg. 610 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) as California State Fire Marshall-Certified Prescribed Fire Burn Bosses (CARX). This funding could also pay for contract firefighting companies to implement prescribed burns on City-managed properties. In the interim, the City should consider hiring contractors with prescribed fire qualifications to burn piles, develop burn plans, and train city firefighters and resource management staff on the safe use of prescribed fire.

Fund a Part-Time Planner to Improve Egress
Throughout the City, many neighborhoods have a single entry and exit point. The City of Redding should fund a part-time planning position to interface between the fire department and the planning department to identify areas that are difficult to evacuate and submit roadway modification recommendations where roads can be connected to improve egress in the event of an emergency.

A Subdivision Review Program was formed by Office of the State Fire Marshal to identify existing subdivisions with more than 30 dwelling units, located in a Local or State Responsibility Area Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which are at significant fire risk and lack a secondary egress route. At the time of this CWPP’s publication, findings have not been made public.

Plot Survey to Study Vegetation
Working with the McConnell Foundation, the City of Redding should seek grant funding to establish permanent plots in strategic locations throughout the City to measure vegetation growth (particularly in previous burned areas within the Carr and Fawn Fire footprints) and monitor fuels for moisture. Fuel moisture sampling can provide useful data to RFD on current conditions if it is done consistently. Results from sampling can also be submitted to the National Fuel Moisture Database to support a broader effort. This information may also be helpful to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emission avoidance that is achieved through fuel management activities.

Annual LiDAR Collection
The City of Redding should seek funding for an annual LiDAR collection and analysis covering the entire city. This data will be useful to track vegetation growth, crown height, crown bulk densities, and help target vegetation thinning and prescribed fire efforts. Funding LiDAR would be beneficial to multiple City departments.

Additionally, purchasing a LiDAR capable drone and funding pilot training for a City of Redding employee would allow for neighborhood-level LiDAR. More granular LiDAR like this could also be obtained through a periodic contract with a private vendor.

Fire & Vegetation Management Support
The City of Redding should pursue grant funding to collaborate with fire and vegetation management contractors to achieve the goals and recommendations outlined in this CWPP.

Contracting out vegetation thinning, prescribed fire planning and implementation, GIS, and related work may be more cost-effective than assigning these tasks to internal departments. 102
Packet Pg. 611 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan)

5.6 Enforcement Recommendations
This CWPP recommends that the City more strictly enforce California Fire Code, Section 304 to reduce the amount of hazardous material, both human-made and vegetative, in privately owned open spaces. The City should also make a concerted effort to follow these same recommendations on City-owned property. If personnel is unavailable, this CWPP recommends funding an inspector to target areas for mitigation, as well as crews to perform trash removal and vegetation reduction.

California Fire Code, Section 304.1
California Fire Code, Section 304.1 bars the accumulation of combustible waste material:
304.1 Waste accumulation prohibited.

Combustible waste material creating a fire hazard shall not be allowed to accumulate in buildings or structures or upon premises. 304.1.1 Waste material.

Accumulations of wastepaper, wood, hay, straw, weeds, litter or combustible or flammable waste or rubbish of any type shall not be permitted to remain on a roof or in any court, yard, vacant lot, alley, parking lot, open space, or beneath a grandstand, bleacher, pier, wharf, manufactured home, recreational vehicle or other similar structure.

Section 304 can play a crucial role in mitigating the risks associated with illegal dumping and the accumulation of combustible waste in urban and suburban areas such as the City of Redding.

This section of the fire code mandates strict regulations on waste management, ensuring that both public and private properties are kept free from materials that could easily ignite and propagate fires. By enforcing these regulations, the City can systematically reduce the amount of rubbish, particularly in areas that are prone to illegal dumping or long-term accumulation, as tends to occur near homeless encampments. The clear guidelines and enforcement measures provided by Section 304 make it possible to create safer, cleaner environments that are less susceptible to fire hazards.

One of the key provisions of Section 304 is the requirement for regular removal and proper disposal of waste materials. This stipulation directly targets the problem of illegal dumping by imposing penalties on those who do not comply, thereby acting as a deterrent. In the City of Redding, where encampments often contribute to significant waste accumulation, these regulations ensure that property owners and City officials are vigilant in maintaining cleanliness and addressing any illegal dumping promptly. The systematic removal of waste not only helps in reducing the immediate fire risk but also promotes a culture of responsibility and care towards the urban environment.

Additionally, Section 304 requires property owners to maintain clearances around their properties, ensuring that combustible materials are kept at a safe distance from structures and ignition sources. This is particularly beneficial in Redding, where vegetation and dry conditions 103
Packet Pg. 612 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) can exacerbate fire risks. By enforcing clearance regulations, the City can significantly reduce the likelihood of fires starting and spreading from areas with high concentrations of rubbish and combustible waste. This approach helps in mitigating the risks associated with both intentional and accidental fires, protecting both the homeless population and the wider community.

Furthermore, Section 304 facilitates coordinated efforts between various City departments, including fire services, parks department, waste management, and Redding Police Department.

This collaboration is essential in addressing the root causes of illegal dumping and ensuring comprehensive waste management strategies are implemented. In Redding, such interdepartmental cooperation can lead to more efficient monitoring and quicker response times to illegal dumping incidents, thereby maintaining safer and cleaner public spaces. By leveraging the full extent of the California Fire Code, Section 304, the City can effectively curtail the accumulation of combustible waste, ultimately reducing the fire risk and enhancing the overall quality of life for its residents.

Section 304.1.2 specifically discusses vegetation removal:
304.1.2 Vegetation.

Weeds, grass, vines or other growth that is capable of being ignited and endangering property, shall be cut down and removed by the owner or occupant of the premises. Vegetation clearance requirements in urban wildland interface areas shall be in accordance with Chapter 49.

Enforcing California Fire Code 304.1.2, which mandates the removal of ignitable vegetation, is vital in reducing fire risks, especially in wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas. In these zones, where residential and commercial properties abut natural landscapes, the presence of dry weeds, grass, and vines can create a continuous fuel source that significantly increases the likelihood of fires spreading rapidly. By ensuring that property owners and occupants cut down and remove such vegetation, the risk of ignition and fire propagation can be greatly minimized, thereby protecting both human lives and property from devastating wildfires.

The specific requirement for vegetation clearance in urban wildland interface areas highlights the heightened risk in these regions and underscores the necessity for stringent enforcement.

These areas are particularly vulnerable due to the proximity of structures to flammable natural growth. Without strict adherence to clearance regulations, a single spark can quickly escalate into a large-scale wildfire, endangering entire communities. Regular enforcement ensures that these high-risk zones are kept free from excessive vegetation, thereby creating defensible spaces that can slow down or even prevent the spread of fires, providing crucial time for firefighting efforts to respond effectively.

The enforcement of California Fire Code 304.1.2 serves as a measure of responsibility and preparedness among residents and property owners. It encourages community members to take an active role in fire prevention, understanding that their actions directly impact the safety of their surroundings and neighbors. Regular inspections and penalties for non-compliance 104
Packet Pg. 613 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) reinforce the importance of maintaining clearances and promote consistent adherence to the regulations. This collective effort enhances individual property safety and contributes to the overall resilience of the community against wildfires.

California Code, Public Resources Code - PRC § 4291
This CWPP recommends an ordinance consistent with the State’s Public Resource Code 4291 enforcing vegetation clearance around City-owned buildings in parks, greenways, and open spaces. This ordinance should meet the requirements of PRC 4291 regulations for vegetation management, summarized here:

Maintain defensible space of 100 feet from each side and from the front and rear of the structure, but not beyond the property line. The amount of fuel modification necessary shall consider the flammability of the structure as affected by building material, building standards, location, and type of vegetation.

Fuels shall be maintained in a condition so that a wildfire burning under average weather conditions would be unlikely to ignite the structure. Trees and shrubs should be pruned to a crown base height of 8 feet and maintained to effectively manage fuels and not form a means of rapidly transmitting fire from other nearby vegetation to a structure or from a structure to other nearby vegetation.

The intensity of fuels management may vary within the 100-foot perimeter of the structure, the most intense being within the first 30 feet around the structure.

Where possible, the first 2 feet out from a structure should be bare dirt, gravel, concrete, or lawn, and free of wood chips or mulch. Maintain any tree, shrub, or other plant adjacent to or overhanging a building free of dead or dying wood.

Maintain the roof of a structure free of leaves, needles, or other vegetative materials. (California Public Resource Code Sec 4291)
California Code, Public Resources Code - PRC § 4433
This CWPP recommends an ordinance consistent with the State’s Public Resource Code 4433 prohibiting a person from starting a fire on another person’s property without a written permit from the property owner. The pertinent text of PRC 4433 is:

A person shall not light, maintain, or use a campfire upon brush-covered land, grasscovered land, or forest-covered land that is the property of another person unless the person first obtains a written permit from the owner, lessee, or agent of the owner or lessee of the property.
105
Packet Pg. 614 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan)

5.7 Public Education
Enhancing realtor and new homeowner understanding of the wildfire zones in this document is important. The City should continue current education outreach efforts to assist current residents, realtors, and those persons moving into the City in understanding wildfire hazards and the need for active, ongoing hazard mitigation, especially in areas identified in this CWPP’s education project mapping areas.

The City of Redding should seek funding to support development of education and outreach materials for wildfire safety, fire ecology, and ecologically-based vegetation management.

Specific topics should include ember awareness and what causes homes to ignite and burn in a wildland fire, the need for annual springtime mowing of grasses and weeds, fire ecology of wildland areas, grazing, prescribed fire, and rangeland health/noxious weed management.

Programs should also address the need for safe access and signage, the importance of available water, adequate fire protection, and the critical role vegetation, drought, and weather plays in wildland fire.

It is important for property owners adjacent to wildland open spaces to recognize they live in areas of elevated wildfire hazard and informing the public about wildland fire dangers is a goal in Redding’s LHMP (Section 7.4.8). Outside of the urbanized areas of Redding, many suburban areas exist and homeowners need to manage fire hazards on their property as if they live in the country.

Homes can be exposed to wildfire through direct flames, radiant heat, or flying embers.

Flying embers are responsible for the destruction of most homes during wildfires in the foothills and mountains, and in the event of a crown fire as experienced during the Carr Fire, flying embers can reach homes up to a mile away.
106
Packet Pg. 615 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) The priority for wildfire hazard mitigation actions are immediately around structures, the home ignition zone, within five feet from the building. CAL FIRE lists defensible space guidelines and provides a wealth of information on how to maintain the area around your home:
• The first five feet of Zone 0 is the most critical and homeowners should keep the area closest to buildings and decks clear to prevent embers from igniting materials. • Zone 1 reduces the likelihood of fire burning directly to the structure by breaking fuels continuity and eliminating a pathway that fire can use to reach the home. • Fuel modification in Zone 2 includes removing dead vegetation and reducing living vegetation to eliminate fuel ladders. This creates fuel separation between individuals or islands of trees or shrubs.

Figure 67: CAL FIRE defensible space zones.
(Image ©2024 CAL FIRE)
Educational goals should focus on expanding awareness of wildfire issues related to land use planning and building. Local and state agencies should provide educational information for civil engineers, developers, realtors, contractors, home builders, and building inspectors on methods to ensure structural and forest survival following a wildfire. Educational programs should focus on PRC 4290 and the State Fire Marshall WUI Standards, and include information on what causes homes to ignite and burn in a wildland fire. Programs should also address the need for good home site location, wildfire-resilient subdivision layouts, safe access, and signage, and the importance of available water, adequate fire protection, and the critical role topography plays in wildland fire behavior. 107
Packet Pg. 616 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) While Redding’s recently-built neighborhoods currently have less-overgrown landscaping and contain homes built to modern building codes, houses that are packed tightly onto smaller lots increase the risk of home-to-home fire spread should a wildfire ignite homes on the WUI.

Landscaping should also be carefully tended. Over time, landscaping will increase in hazard as shrubs grow and dead material collects within them. Shrubs like juniper and rosemary contain highly flammable compounds and burn like gasoline, and should not be used within 10 feet of houses or wooden fences for homes.

Roofing like metal, clay or tile roof can protect the most vulnerable part of a home, while stucco and other noncombustible materials can be used in new construction or renovations.

The most appropriate home retrofitting strategies are site specific but general target areas should include reducing vulnerability at the roof, roof edges, rain gutters, eaves, vents, attic, crawl spaces, siding, windows, skylights, decks, garages, fences, and chimneys.

There are a variety of resources available to educate homeowners and public officials on home hardening techniques and technologies:
• CAL FIRE offers a Wildfire Home Retrofit Guide and a low-cost retrofit list. Other resources are available at ReadyforWildfire.org
• Homeowners may be able to participate in the California Wildfire Mitigation Program available through CAL OES designed to develop small scale rebate programs for retrofits. • The National Fire Protection Association offers resources to Prepare Homes for Wildfire.

Additional resources related to fire safety are included in Appendix D.

This CWPP recommends working with a wildfire communication specialist to develop an education campaign that targets property owners living near elevated fire hazards. These property owners would receive information on wildfire awareness and hardening information to retrofit homes and outbuildings. Areas targeted for educational outreach have been included on the following map.
108
Packet Pg. 617 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan)

5.8 Structure Hardening
Research shows that fire prevention measures within the first five feet around a building plays the largest role in structure survival. The level of attention given to a residence or other structure is controlled by the owners, often days, weeks, months and years before a fire event. In combination with the education and enforcement recommendations above, seeking funding for specific structure hardening improvements can benefit both individual homes and entire neighborhoods.

This CWPP recommends that the City pursue grant funding to assist property owners, primarily lower-income homeowners, with structure hardening.

Roof-Edges & Eaves
The exposed edges of eaves and roof corners are the most susceptible to ember-ignition during fires. Residents in high-hazard areas should be educated on the importance of regular maintenance to the roof edge of their homes. Special attention should be paid to keeping roof eave corners tight and freshly-painted. Financial assistance programs should be established for roof-edge maintenance on old homes in high-priority areas, especially in densely-built areas.

Decks
Decks are a vulnerable component of a building in the WUI and can expose a building’s siding, exterior wall components such as windows and doors, and the under-eave area to flames and radiant heat during wildfires. This exposure can result in severe damage or destruction of the building. Property owners must maintain adequate defensible space around and under decks, as well as remove flammable vegetation debris and flammable furnishings from decks. Decks can pose a great threat to firefighter safety. Newer synthetic deck surfaces can ignite with direct flame more easily than wood and have a more rapid collapse when subjected to high heat loads, but often won’t stay lit once flame is removed.

Educate residents in high-hazard areas on the importance of safe deck construction and maintenance, referring them to IBHS fact sheets concerning decks and ember ignitions.

Vent Openings
Provided adequate defensible space is maintained, screening of vents and other openings with steel screens can prevent embers from entering attics and crawl spaces. Standards exist for new construction, but not older structures. Providing financial assistance to allow homeowners to upgrade vent screens to a standard of 1/8-inch maximum steel screen mesh is recommended.

Outbuildings & Wood Piles
Storage, tool sheds, and wood piles with less than 30-feet separation from outbuildings place homes at a high risk of loss. This CWPP recommends educating residents in highhazard areas on the need for separation of outbuildings from their residence and enforcing weed abatement codes to assure clearance requirements are met around all structures.

Firewood should not be stacked against or on porches or decks during fire season. 109
Packet Pg. 618 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan)

5.9 Equipment Procurement & Upgrades
Redding Fire Department is well equipped for responding to structural and wildland fires, as well as medical emergencies. Adding rapid-response vehicles as well as improving communications will increase the department's capacity.

Type 6 Wildland Brush Truck
RFD’s Operations Chief has identified a need for a Type 6 fire engine for rapid response in areas that are difficult to access in larger vehicles. The acquisition of these nimble wildland trucks would assist with RFD’s response model. Type 6 wildland trucks are designed to improve initial attack on wildfire response.

UTVs
RFD has identified a need for UTVs or Side-by-Sides outfitted for rapid response firefighting, prevention patrols, and rescues in difficult-to-access areas. UTVs outfitted with skids for pumping water are ideal for quick attack and rapid deployment in off-road situations, fire suppression, and patient transport.

Communications Redundancy
A recent vandalism event which severed fiber optic lines caused outages with the 911 system for the City. RFD officials indicated that having emergency backup internet systems installed at City Hall would be beneficial. RFD also indicated that loss of critical communications infrastructure during major wildfire events is a concern, and that they would like to have funding to purchase mobile cell sites for use during disasters. 110
Packet Pg. 619 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan)

6. CONCLUSIONS & FUTURE DIRECTIONS
A CWPP is the beginning, not the end, of continued efforts toward understanding and planning for wildland fire risk. This document serves as a jumping off point for future community conversations, vegetation management projects, policy development and enforcement. With increases in catastrophic and destructive wildfires, and recent memories of devastating fire events both in the project area and around the West, it is important to consider wildland fire risk as one of the primary priorities for emergency response and land use planning. This document should encourage the community to familiarize themselves with wildfire history, risk, and vegetation conditions on and around their properties. And it should encourage fire officials and policy makers to consider wildland fire risk and the private and public lands that play a role in WUI fire in the project area. With the completion of this document, the project area is recommended to:
• Execute the vegetation management strategies, programs, projects, and mitigations outlined in the following documents:
o 2023 Shasta County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan o 2024 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
• Ordinance recommendations in Section 5.5 – consistent with 4291 & 4433 • Follow vegetation management recommendations in this CWPP, including the use of prescribed fire into RFD’s fuels management program.
• Enforce codes ordinances designed to reduce and remove waste accumulation, particularly around persistent illegal camping locations. • Institute code enforcement and policy recommendations listed in this CWPP. • Upgrade and acquire equipment as outlined in this CWPP. • Perform targeted educational outreach to residents in the areas identified in this CWPP. • Commit to maintenance of all implemented projects and maintain a master schedule for ongoing vegetation management work.
• Convene an annual CWPP Project Committee meeting to review vegetation management progress and update the CWPP project map and spreadsheet list.

CWPPs are living documents and should be updated regularly. In accordance with FEMA recommendations, this document should be revisited in 5 years, as projects are completed, or sooner if vegetation or climate conditions change drastically. 111

Packet Pg. 621 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Appendix A: Requirements of a Community Wildfire Protection Plan Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) use a collaborative, stakeholder-driven process to prepare responses to—and mitigation of—community wildfire risk. The CWPP process helps communities identify and prioritize wildfire risk mitigation projects. Most state and federal agencies will not fund local wildfire hazard mitigation projects unless they have been vetted by the community and identified specifically in an adopted CWPP.

Integration with Federal Policy
CWPPs are required to be consistent with The Healthy Forest Reforestation Act (HFRA) of 2003.

The HFRA directed the USDA Forest Service to implement a collaborative approach for working with partners across jurisdictions to reduce wildfire risk to people, communities, and natural resources while sustaining and restoring healthy, resilient fire-adapted forests.

According to the HFRA, a CWPP should involve local fire departments, governments, and state forest management agencies to meet the following minimum requirements:

1. Collaboration: A CWPP must be collaboratively developed by local and state government representatives, in consultation with federal agencies and other interested parties.

2. Prioritized Fuel Reduction: A CWPP must identify and prioritize areas for hazardous fuel reduction treatments and recommend the types and methods of treatment that will protect one or more at-risk communities and essential infrastructure.

3. Treatment of Structural Ignitability: A CWPP must recommend measures that homeowners and communities can take to reduce the ignitability of structures throughout the area addressed by the plan.

The HFRA specifies that:
“At-risk communities are a group of homes and other structures with basic infrastructure and services within or adjacent to Federal land (HFRA sec. 101 [a2]) for which a significant threat to human life or property exists as a result of a wildland fire disturbance event (HFRA sec. 101 [c]). The CWPP will identify and prioritize areas for hazardous fuel reduction treatments (HFRA sec. 101 [b3]) and recommend measures to reduce structural ignitability throughout the at-risk community (HFRA sec. 101 [c3]). Fuel-reduction projects identified by the CWPP will receive priority for funding on federal land (HFRA sec. 103 [d1]) and will receive priority for funding on non-federal land (HRFA sec. 103 [d2]).” 113
Packet Pg. 622 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) Related Initiatives in Wildfire Resilience
The USDA Forest Service has created (January 2022) the 10-Year Wildfire Crisis Implementation Plan, keeping consistent with the purposes of the HFRA:
“this implementation plan builds on a national strategy for confronting the wildfire crisis facing the Nation. The strategy calls for an unprecedented paradigm shift in land management to increase fuels and forest health treatments across jurisdictions to match the actual scale of wildfire risk to people, communities, and natural resources, especially in the Western United States” (Wildfire Crisis Implementation Plan, 2022).

Integration with State of California Policy
The purpose of the this CWPP is consistent with, and supported by, the findings in Sec. 3.3 of CAL FIRE’s California Forests and Rangelands 2010 Strategy Report. “When planning occurs at the community level, greater community awareness can lead to better compliance with laws and regulations (such as defensible space and fire safe building codes) designed to improve the ability of a community to face a wildfire with as few losses as possible. California encourages the formation of local and community Fire Safe Councils, as well as participation in the national Firewise/USA program, with a goal of creating a CWPP. A CWPP or its equivalent (such as a countywide fire plan with substantial community input) focuses a community on the nature of wildfire hazards and risks, and necessary proactive action. The process of creating a CWPP also forges a strong partnership with local, state, and federal fire services.” (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Fire and Resource Assessment Program, 2010) 114
Packet Pg. 623 Attachment: FINAL_Redding_CWPP (9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan) California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan, states the following:
“The 2018 Strategic Fire Plan, which addressed wildfire threats across California communities, lays out eight goals, including maintenance of fire-resilient natural environments, increasing the number of fire-resistant buildings and infrastructure, and raising public awareness of wildfire threats. It also calls for creating local, state, federal, tribal, and private partnerships to achieve these goals.” (California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan, 2021) These state plans share the theme of reducing the risk of wildfire by taking actions long before a fire starts. State agencies plan to increase their assistance programs and partnerships with local communities to reduce risk, improve preparedness, and foster resilience. Basic principles prioritized by State Plans include the following goals:
• Assess community risk by identifying public and private resources (natural and manufactured) which could be damaged by wildfire
• Create defensible space in high-risk communities and develop home hardening guidance • Increase the number of communities directly involved in coordinated wildfire planning, and the number of Community Wildfire Protection Plans where needed to reduce wildfire risks

Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Refer Redding Municipal Code Chapters 18.43 (Standards for Specific Land Uses*),

18.60 (Use Classifications), and 18.61 (List of Terms and Definitions), to the Planning Commission for the update, revision and clarification of the definitions, categories, and zoning of adult businesses and activities; and
(2) Direct staff to prepare recommendations for the Planning Commission; and prepare an ordinance based on the Planning Commission’s direction for future consideration by the City Council.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the presentation.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could request additional information or provide staff alternative direction.

Background/Analysis
On November 5, 2024, during Item No. 12, the Council directed the City Attorney to return with a presentation and analysis on the City of Redding’s zoning regulation pertaining to adult businesses. The City Attorney has completed review and will be providing a brief presentation regarding the current zoning ordinances pertaining to adult businesses. A more thorough legal analysis is provided separately via privileged memorandum.

MEETING DATE: January 21, 2025
ITEM NO. 9.14(a)
FROM:
***APPROVED BY***
[email protected] [email protected]
SUBJECT: 9.14(a)--Presentation regarding Redding Municipal Code Chapters relating to the zoning of adult businesses in the City of Redding.

Christian M. Curtis, City
Attorney
Packet Pg. 652
Report to Redding City Council January 16, 2025
Re: 9.14(a)--Presentation re: Redding Municipal Code Chapters Relating to the Zoning of Adult Businesses Page 2
Presently, the Redding Municipal Code recognizes two major categories of adult businesses. “Adult Business Establishments,” as that term is defined in Chapter 18.60, is a land use classification that applies to:
[e]stablishments whose preponderant business is the offering of materials, products, and/or services that have sexual arousal, sexual gratification, and/or sexual stimulation as their dominant theme and which are not customarily open to the general public because they exclude minors by virtue of their age as a prevailing business . . .

If a use meets this definition of an “Adult Business Establishment,” it may only operate in areas designated for Heavy Commercial zoning and is required to obtain and comply with a use permit.

Additionally, Chapter 18.61 contains a separate definition for “Adult Entertainment Business or Activity,” which includes:

An establishment that is not customarily open to the public but only to one or more classes of the public and that normally excludes any minor by reason of age.

Such establishments usually charge a fee for a service or sale item to be purchased. It is a business that is characterized by emphasis on depicting, describing or relating to "specified sexual activities" or "specified anatomical areas" . . .

Any use that meets this definition of “Adult Entertainment Business or Activity” is subject to a number of additional restrictions including specific setbacks, architectural requirements, and operational limitations.

After review of the code, it appears that the similarity of the terms “Adult Business Establishment” and “Adult Entertainment Business” may invite a certain level of confusion, and some of the other language in the ordinance also appears outdated. Although the City Attorney’s Office has not conducted a thorough historical review, the last ordinance addressing these businesses appears to be from 2005. That ordinance appears to have been a comprehensive update and re-adoption of the zoning code, so there is a significant likelihood that the current sections were carried over verbatim from an even older ordinance.

Given this, the City Attorney recommends that the Council refer the relevant sections of the code to the Planning Commission for update and direct staff to prepare recommendations for the Commission to consider. Such updates would not prevent existing lawful businesses from continuing in their current location and form but would allow clarification of the ordinances while revisiting whether any adjustments to the substantive restrictions would be appropriate.

Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.
