REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept the report on nitrous oxide use and provide direction to staff regarding next steps.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact with accepting the report.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to accept the report.
Background/Analysis
On November 19, 2024, local Redding Neurologist Karen Garnaas, MD, presented information related to the health issues associated with the overuse of Nitrous Oxide (NO) to the Council.
The presentation noted that there has been a rise in the recreational use of NO, sometimes referred to as “laughing gas” or “Whippits,” and are being sold in single sizes from 8-gram cartridges to 2.2 liter cannisters. When NO is inhaled it temporarily depletes vitamin B12, leading to severe health issues which include brain damage, spinal cord degeneration, weakness, numbness, balance problems, and reduced oxygen levels.
From Dr. Garnaas’ November 19, 2024 report, she noted that in the last eight weeks, she has seen seven hospitalizations with vitamin B12 deficiency linked to NO from individuals ranging in age from 22 to 38. She reported that five of those patients’ spinal cord scans demonstrated spinal cord degeneration and that other cases are occurring throughout the community, hospitals, and emergency rooms, with increased use nationwide.

Report to Redding City Council November 13, 2025
Re: 9.1(d)--Accept Report and Provide Direction Regarding Nitrous Oxide Use Page 2 On that same evening during Council’s item 12, the Council directed staff to work with the Shasta County Health Department to find out more about NO use and return to the Council for a future discussion.
Staff reached out to Dr. James Mu, Shasta County Health Officer, regarding the use of NO in the community. He reported that Shasta County does not track or have data on NO use. Dr. Mu. stated that the medical community and other counties are experiencing increased NO induced myeloneuropathy - disorder that affects both the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
NO has been historically used in the medical and dental fields as a mild sedative. It is fast acting and wears off quickly making it an ideal sedation option for short procedures. NO is also used in the culinary field giving whipped cream its fluffy texture. NO is sold in smoke shops, convenience stores and online platforms. It is often packaged in colorful and youth-appealing designs. California Penal Code §381b makes it illegal (misdemeanor) to possess or be under the influence of NO for recreational purposes. However, it does not restrict its sale to be used as a culinary propellent.
Jurisdictions throughout California have created ordinances regulating the sale of NO being sold to individuals for recreational use. Some of the Cities and Counties include Newport Beach, City of Rialto, Humboldt County, City of Arcata, City of Ferndale, City of Eureka, and City of Oxnard. Jurisdictions have implemented exemptions for wholesalers, medical professionals, and for vehicle performance.
If the Council would like to provide staff with specific direction on pursuing additional research or bringing back a potential ordinance, staff can work with the City Attorney’s Office and report back to Council at a later date.
Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to accept the refined Emerging Redding Riverfront Concepts and provide other direction to staff.
Background/Analysis
On January 16, 2024, the Council accepted the Vision and Guiding Principles Framework for the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan. The vision was developed based on extensive feedback, discussion, and refinement by the general public and the Community Coalition. That document is a foundational piece for the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan process and represents the overarching aspirational framework for how the community would like to see the area change, improve, and be enhanced in the future.

Report to Redding City Council November 13, 2025
Re: 9.4(a)--Update on Emerging Redding Riverfront Specific Plan Concepts, by the City of Redding Page 2
City staff and the project team held a series of community workshops, stakeholder discussions, and an online survey in the summer/fall of 2024 to solicit additional community feedback on potential alternatives and options for the riverfront planning area. This included alternatives and options related to: natural and cultural spaces; outdoor activities; buildings and uses; and mobility. The Community Discussion No. 2 Summary included a combined summary of community and stakeholder feedback and comments received during the various engagement activities held in the summer/fall of 2024.
Following that session, staff along with the project team, developed an Emerging Redding Riverfront Concepts summary. The summary includes information on developing a Vision Framework Diagram (proposed land uses, activities, and circulation within the plan area), Northern Riverfront Concepts, Southern Riverfront Concepts, and a summary comparison for how the various concepts relate to the community’s Vision and Guiding Principles Framework which was reviewed by Council during the prior phase of the project.
On May 5, 2025, the Emerging Redding Riverfront Concepts were presented to the community during an open house. These materials are also available on the project website (www.ReddingRiverfront.org). The Community Open House Engagement summary includes feedback received thus far on the concepts.
On May 20, 2025, the project team presented the Emerging Riverfront Concepts and community feedback to the Council. The Council raised several questions related to secondary access options, mixed-use in the Northern Riverfront, open space area conservation easements, and programming for the civic venue(s). Following that meeting, the project team met with each private property owner in the Northern Riverfront area who would potentially be impacted by a proposed mixed-use zoning, conducted further analysis and refinements of the secondary access options, researched possible open space conservation approaches, and prepared refined concepts for the civic venue space.
If Council accepts the presentation on the newly revised concepts for the riverfront, staff will proceed with next steps in the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan update process, which includes developing draft specific plan language and initiating the environmental review process.
Environmental Review
Reviewing and accepting the concepts for the Redding riverfront is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• 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.”
• 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.”

Packet Pg. 358 Attachment: ^Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging In April 2023, the Redding City Council began a community-led process to update the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan. The purpose of this project is to reintroduce the community to the river by creating a long-term vision for the 380 acres of public and private land and water along the Sacramento River.
The Specific Plan document, which will be developed based on significant community engagement and discussion, will ultimately establish goals, policies, and development standards to guide public and private development, land stewardship and conservation, roadway and infrastructure projects, and other activities within the study area. It will also include a series of implementation strategies necessary to transform the community vision for the Riverfront into a reality.

2 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 360 Attachment: ^Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging What Is a Specific Plan?
A Specific Plan is a tool used by the
City of Redding and the community
to implement the broader direction
of the City's General Plan. It provides
specific policies and requirements for
development corresponding to a unique
geographic area. It must include a land
use plan for location and intensity of uses;
have an implementation strategy; address
public infrastructure required to serve
the area; and propose capital project and
infrastructure funding options necessary
to implement the plan. In certain
cases, a Specific Plan can go beyond
policy guidance and include detailed
development standards tailored to the
character and needs of the area.
The Specific Plan process includes robust
environmental review and documentation
under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). The City anticipates that
the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan will
require the creation of an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR). The EIR will evaluate
potential environmental impacts of
plan implementation. It will also include
mitigation measures to reduce these
impacts.
The Redding Riverfront Specific Plan
is being led by the City of Redding at
the direction of the City Council. The
Project Team is made up of City of
Redding staff and consultants. In April
2023, the City hired MIG to lead the
specific plan project. MIG is a planning,
environmental, design, and engagement
firm from Sacramento. MIG is supported
by additional engagement, design, and
technical experts from Tawaw Architecture
Collaborative (Indigenous community
engagement and design), GHD
(mobility and infrastructure), Populous
(architectural design), Nichols, Melburg &
Rossetto Architects (architectural design/
local Redding conditions), and Basin
Research (cultural resources).
What a Specific Plan includes . . .
▪ Vision, Goals, Policies, and
Development Regulations unique
to the Redding Riverfront Area
▪ Design Guidelines for new projects
▪ Economic Analysis and Incentives
▪ Circulation Plan (vehicle, bicycles,
pedestrians, parking)
▪ Infrastructure Analysis (capacity
and funding)
▪ Environmental Analysis
What a Specific Plan does not include . . .
▪ Individual public or private development
projects (those are proposed after the
Specific Plan is adopted, and they must
be consistent with the Plan)
3 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 361 Attachment: ^Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging How Will the Community Be Involved?
Robust and transparent community involvement is vital to this project. There will be multiple opportunities for community members to participate both in person and through online discussions during the project. The Project Team has prepared a detailed Community Involvement Strategy (CIS) that includes engagement goals and metrics to ensure broad participation.
Over the course of the two-year process, the Project Team will ensure that there is broad community support on the vision, goals, projects, and components included in the updated plan. This report summarizes the first major step in the project, which is the creation of an emerging Vision and Guiding Principles Framework.

OPEN HOUSES AND DISCUSSIONS
5 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 363 Attachment: ^Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging Community Open Houses
The City hosted two Community Open
Houses on August 14, 2023, at the Civic
Auditorium. The events were organized
as open sessions for the duration of the
time with two formal presentations given
at 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Following
each presentation, participants were
encouraged to join a larger group
discussion facilitated by a member
of the Project Team. This provided an
opportunity for community members
to ask questions and hear from each
other. The Project Team documented
verbal comments from each large group
discussion in a wallgraphic.
Over 200 community members attended
the Community Open Houses and shared
their ideas, concerns, and vision(s) for the
future of the Redding Riverfront area.

7 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 365 Attachment: ^Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging Key Themes
Assets
Natural Beauty and Ecosystem
The Riverfront’s natural beauty is its
greatest asset, along with the ecosystem
it provides to many native and specialstatus species living along the Riverfront, including salmon, trout, bald eagles, deer,
otters, raccoons, other fish, and migrating
birds.
Riparian Habitat
The Redding Riverfront is an expansive
riparian zone providing habitat for many
wildlife species including salmon, eagles,
herons, sandhill cranes, and neotropical
migrant birds. Native plants and trees help
sustain a thriving ecosystem and provide
much-needed shade and cooling.
Parkland and Open Space
Parkland and open space, with trails
along the Riverfront, are easily accessible
to residents and visitors and provide
opportunities to view and appreciate
natural beauty, flora, and fauna.
Trails and Walking Paths
Existing walking, hiking, and biking trails
in the parkland and along the Riverfront
support active transportation and provide
recreational access.
Local History and Culture
The Redding Riverfront has a rich history
and is culturally significant to the Wintu
Tribe. Some monuments in the area honor
Wintu history. There is also a history of
Redding’s fishing, timber, and gravel
industries within the study area.
Unique Attractions
The Sundial Bridge, Redding Civic
Auditorium, Redding Rodeo Grounds,
Turtle Bay Exploration Park and Museum,
and Aqua Golf are all unique physical
attractions that make the Riverfront a
destination for residents and visitors.
Existing Uses and Users
The Riverfront is home to a wide range
of uses and users that support both the
local community and tourism industries.
These include office and commercial
businesses in the Southern Riverfront, the
Sheraton Hotel, Bethel Church (currently
leasing space in the Civic Auditorum),
the Redding Rodeo, and many others.
The Riverfront area also includes unique
infrastructure, such as the ACID irrigation
channel, the Monolith, and the public boat
ramp.
Special Events
Events such as concerts, conferences, and
fireworks are activities the community
would like to see continued or even
expanded in the future. These events
create unique opportunities to attract
people to the Riverfront during different
times of the year.
8 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 366 Attachment: ^Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging Environmental Protection
There are concerns about the conflicts
between the expansion of uses and
activities, and the protection of natural
resources, including open space, bird, fish,
and other animal habitats.
Appropriate Planning and Design
There needs to be an accurate, objective,
and transparent environmental analysis
process conducted as part of the Specific
Plan update. Core to this is the need
to protect assets as part of the entire
planning process, and creating policy
language that protects assets as part of
the entire project.
Land Ownership and Control
There is a desire to craft a Specific Plan
that influences the larger land owners to
work in harmony, maximizing the benefits
of the Riverfront area for all residents,
while also enhancing the natural and
cultural environment.
Indigenous Cultural Resources
There is a need to protect Native and
other cultural resources. This includes
creating mapping and analysis for native
artifact locations, maintaining Indigenous
connections and access to land and river,
and balancing native historical awareness
and current community needs.
Redding Rodeo Association
There was discussion over the question
of keeping, maintaining, expanding, and/
or moving the rodeo grounds. Many
comments were made in support of the
Redding Rodeo and their activities and
events, noting that they are important to
many local residents and tourists.
Mobility, Access, and Traffic
There are concerns about overall
circulation and access limitations
throughout the Riverfront area. There
is a desire to address vehicle traffic,
circulation, access (including emergency
vehicles) and effective buffers to protect
riparian areas. New/expanded trail and
path connections that can create seamless
multi-modal transportation in both the
Northern and Southern Riverfront was
also raised by the community. Lastly, there
is a need to improve safety for pedestrians
and bicyclists, create more transportation
options, and develop a comprehensive
traffic and parking study.
New Mixed-Use Development
Some in the community are supportive
of new development, and there is an
interest in mixed-use development along
Park Marina Drive. Participants envisioned
an active first floor with restaurants and
shops and residential or office space on
upper floors.
Family-Friendly Activities
New development should be designed to
attract families and people of all ages to
participate in recreation, shopping, eating,
and water access.
Public Amenities and Activities
Public amenities such as a playground,
aquatic center, gardens, arboretum, and
restrooms should be built and maintained
for residents and visitors to enjoy when
visiting the Riverfront.
Safety
Safety is a concern near the Civic
Auditorium and Redding Rodeo
Grounds, and in the parking lots. It was
recommended that better activation of
the area and well-lit paths and public
spaces at night would help resolve these
issues.
Key Themes
Challenges and Opportunities
9 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 367 Attachment: ^Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging Key Themes
Vision for the Future
Protect the Natural Environment
and Resources
Conserve and enhance the natural
environment, including: protecting habitat,
bio-diversity, and the health of the river;
limiting waterfront development; limiting
expanded development footprints; sharing
and celebrating the extensive natural
resources; and creating habitats for
protected species.
Enhance Public Access and Recreation
Expand public access and uses; restore
and/or create new public parks and open
space areas; and preserve fish, bird, and
riparian habitat while providing trails,
beaches, and natural landscapes for
public.
Establish Clear Uses and
Development Standards
Create a clear vision for new development
in the Riverfront, supported by
requirements that ensure there is design
cohesion, ease of access and circulation,
and protection of natural resources as new
or renovated development is created.
Expand Outdoor Facilities
and Attractions
Create a thriving and active destination
for both residents and visitors that reflects
the small-town character of Redding
with year-round riverfront activities and
amenities that compare with other wateroriented destinations.
Engage the Indigenous Community
Ensure all Tribes and Indigenous
community members are engaged
throughout this process and are involved
in decision-making. Native input should be
provided on all proposed developments.
Native sites and cultural resources should
be protected. The Wintu Tribe should be
continually engaged as a resource for
helping preserve natural resources.
Support the Redding Rodeo
Support the modernization of the rodeo
grounds, including potential improvements
to make it a multiuse venue. Reimagine
the current use of the grounds so that
it can be activated year-round for other
public events.
Ensure Transparent and Balanced
Community Outreach
Notice and record all meetings and
workshops; ensure authentic, broad, and
well-noticed outreach activities; prioritize
those most impacted; have residents on
the Community Coalition; bring together
opposing viewpoints; make resources and
materials available to the public; and allow
people to post comments on the project
website.
Creating a Cohesive Vision
Developing a vision where all property
owners and involved groups will be willing
to cooperate was acknowledged as a
challenge for the Specific Plan.

The Coalition reviewed an updated draft Riverfront Vision and Guiding Principles Framework. The Coalition provided feedback to help further refine the draft Vision and Guiding Principles Framework, so it is ready for City Council review. 14 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 372 Attachment: ^Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging The community's Vision for the future of the Redding
Riverfront is the key foundational piece for the Specific Plan process. It represents the overarching aspirational framework for how the community would like to see the area change, improve, and be enhanced in the future. While the final content of the Specific Plan is not known currently, it is envisioned to include a combination of land use policies, development standards and requirements, cultural enhancement and preservation projects, and environmental protection policies and requirements. As the City and community move through the Specific Plan process, all planning concepts, ideas, designs, policies, and programs considered for inclusion in the plan must be consistent with the Vision and Guiding Principles outlined in this document.
The following section presents the emerging Vision and Guiding Principles that were developed based on community ideas and refined by the Community Coalition.
PART IV
VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES
15 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 373 Attachment: ^Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging Vision Elements
Seven Vision Elements (shown on the
diagram on the following page) build
on the key assets in the Riverfront area
and address the major challenges and
opportunities facing both the City and the
community. Each of them are intentionally
aspirational — identifying partnerships,
processes, activities, and changes that
will ensure the Riverfront area remains a
focal point for the community and visitors,
with a range of activities and uses, while
also advancing environmental protection,
habitat enhancement, and public access
and amenities.
Guiding Principles
Each Vision Element is further supported
by a series of specific Guiding Principles
that identify measurable objectives and
outcomes. These principles provide a
framework or roadmap for evaluating
concepts, designs, and ideas that are
generated during the Specific Plan
process. All components of the Specific
Plan, including regulations and funding
mechanisms, must be consistent with
the Guiding Principles. Furthermore, the
Guiding Principles work in parallel with
one another, and no principle is more or
less important than the other.

Can Stay Involved
The City is committed to designing and
implementing an inclusive and dynamic
community engagement process to
ensure the Redding Riverfront Specific
Plan project is based on robust and
genuine feedback from the entire
community, including civic and city
leaders, the Indigenous community,
property and business owners, current
tenants and lease holders, topical interest
organizations (e.g., mobility advocates,
environmental groups), tourism and
economic development groups, and
residents. As such, the development of
the specific plan will require inclusive
engagement during each project phase.

OVERVIEW
Packet Pg. 389 Attachment: ^Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on 4 PROJECT BACKGROUND
In April 2023, the Redding City Council began a
community-led process to update the Redding
Riverfront Specific Plan. The purpose of this project is to reintroduce the city and community to the river by
creating a long-term vision for 380 acres of public
and private land and water along the Sacramento
River.
In Summer 2024, the City held the second round of
community engagement events and activities focused
on emerging Opportunities and Challenges. The
engagement included discussions on ways the Vision
and Guiding Principles Framework (approved by the
Redding City Council in January 2024) could be
applied in the Riverfront through environmental
preservation/enhancement, appropriate land uses,
recreational activities, and other strategies.
Packet Pg. 390 Attachment: ^Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on 5 The Project Team hosted two in-person Community
Workshops (June 13 and 15, 2024) and an online
Community Survey (available August to September
2024) to present emerging opportunities and
alternatives for the Northern and Southern Riverfront
areas and solicit community feedback and ideas.
Approximately 130 people attended the community
workshops and 900 people participated in the online
survey.
OVERVIEW

The Community Workshops included four major agenda items.
Welcome and
Introduction
Background
Presentations
Large Group
Polling
Small Group
Breakout Session
Attendees provided their
contact details via sign-in
sheets.
Comment Cards were
provided to each
participant to gather
individual comments.
The Vision and Guiding
Principles Framework was
handed out to participants
for reference.
The Project Team gave a
presentation to update
participants with relevant
project information,
including schedule, major
findings from the Existing
Conditions analysis,
emerging ideas from the
Community Coalition
Process.
This included an overview
of the Vision and Guiding
Principles Framework.
The Project Team led
participants through an
interactive polling
exercise that allowed them
to provide quick reactions
to initial land use and
activity ideas.
The poll also provided an
opportunity to discuss
concepts prior to the Small
Group Breakout session.
Participants broke into
small groups to discuss
and identify priority areas
(Northern Riverfront and
Southern Riverfront) for
their preferred planning
ideas and land uses.
Each group had a large
map and a series of icon
chips and stickers. They
placed items on their map
to corresponded with their
preferences (types of uses
and location) for various
concepts.
Packet Pg. 392 Attachment: ^Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on 7 OVERVIEW: COMMUNITY SURVEY
The Project Team also developed an interactive online
Community Survey that replicated the concepts and
format of the Community Workshops. This provided
an additional opportunity for the community to
provide feedback and ideas on the emerging
concepts.
Survey participants provided reactions to each
concept initially discussed during the Community
Discussions workshops. Additionally, they were asked
to place uses by dropping icon pins on a digital map in the location they though it was most appropriate.
Participants had the ability to add as many or as few
concepts as they liked to their map.
Approximately 900 people participated in the online
Community Survey.

OVERVIEW
Packet Pg. 395 Attachment: ^Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on 10 LAND USE CONCEPTS
Natural and Cultural Spaces
Protect and restore the sensitive natural
environment to improve land and water areas that
serve as habitat spaces for different animals and
fish to thrive.
Protect habitat, resources, buildings, and
properties from flooding impacts.
Preserve sites with deep cultural significance and
increase awareness of Indigenous culture through
dedicated learning and education areas, which
could be owned and/or run by the Indigenous
community.
Outdoor Activities
Focus on increasing opportunities for outdoor
recreation activities that are compatible and
complimentary to Redding’s riverfront context and
leave little (or no) impact on the environment.
Strategically increase community access to the
Sacramento River and other natural areas within the
project area through elevated, low-impact viewing
platforms.
Ensure that the planned outdoor activities are
inclusive and accessible by people of all ages and
abilities like designated spaces for fishing activity
near the river.
Provide activities and facilities that cater to both the local community and visitors.
Packet Pg. 396 Attachment: ^Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on 11 LAND USE CONCEPTS
Buildings and Uses
Increase opportunities to access and interact with the Sacramento River by creating experiences like
riverfront dining and some retail storefronts.
Ensure that the materials used are context-sensitive
and enhance the personality of the riverfront.
Focus on developing new building design guidelines
that reflect the existing scale and character of
Redding.
Upgrade existing indoor and outdoor event venues
with strategically identified enhancements, to
improve their efficiency and all-year round usage.
Increase public amenities like community gathering
spaces, outdoor event venues and multi-purpose
facilities to benefit the local community and visitors. Preserve native flora and fauna by considering the
possibility of a botanical garden.
Mobility
Improve and increase connectivity between the
Northern and Southern Riverfront areas across
Highway 44.
Prioritize pedestrian and bike safety by providing
additional street infrastructure like separated bike
paths and safe crosswalks along Park Marina Drive
and river crossings.
Provide adequate parking infrastructure that is low
impact with green spaces, trees and other green
strategies.
Better design and manage parking within the
Northern Riverfront.
Packet Pg. 397 Attachment: ^Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on 12 PRIORITY LOCATIONS FOR USES AND ACTIVITIES
Northern Riverfront Area
Restore the natural habitat by preserving both flora and fauna through wetland and fish habitat restoration.
Provide designated spaces for fishing activity.
Upgrade the existing Civic Auditorium and Rodeo facility by retrofitting or re-configuring their spaces.
Strategically plan year-round events and programming to encourage the space to function as one integrated multi-functional space for the community.
Create a new multi-use event space that becomes a regional event destination that serves the local community and visitors/tourists such as an outdoor music venue or community gathering space. Provide spaces that protect Indigenous culture, transition, and practices. Increase bicycle and pedestrian access and improve vehicular circulation between the different facilities in the Northern Riverfront and across to the Southern Riverfront. Strategically increase access to natural areas through sensitive low impact recreation.
Identify nature-based solutions to protect the Riverfront Area from flooding impacts. Provide low-impact parking for the different event spaces that require vehicle access.
Packet Pg. 398 Attachment: ^Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on 13 PRIORITY LOCATIONS FOR USES AND ACTIVITIES
Southern Riverfront Area
Explore ways to increase public access to the Sacramento River’s edge in the Southern Riverfront. Provide riverfront dining and river-facing retail to allow greater connections with the Sacramento River. Allow low-impact water recreation activities to give people access, and new ways to interact with the Sacramento River. These could include fishing, kayaking, a riverfront bike path or a strategically designed boardwalk. Increase multi-modal access along Park Marina Drive by providing additional street infrastructure like complete bike lanes, sidewalks, and safe crosswalks that also help reduce vehicular speed improving the riverfront experience. Consider limited housing and mixed-use projects that included lower heights and natural building materials.
Packet Pg. 399 Attachment: ^Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Update on 14 KEY CHALLENGES
Balancing between low- and high-intensity spaces for gathering and recreation. Providing high-volume and high-intensity uses like the large event spaces and a hotel while simultaneously preserving, protecting and enhancing the natural habitat for the native flora and fauna which limits recreational access in the northern riverfront area.
Increasing the viability of the Civic Auditorium and Rodeo Facility. Developing a strategic events and programming matrix to ensure that the two facilities support and function as an extension of the other, rather than existing in isolation from each other.
Creating an Indigenous space. Creating space(s) for an Indigenous cultural area within, but at the same time separated/secluded from, high-intensity uses in the Northern Riverfront. Removing connectivity barriers between the Northern and Southern Riverfront. Finding ways to increase access and interaction with the river and connectivity across Highway 44, which currently is a barrier between the Northern and Southern Riverfronts.
Increasing public access to the river’s edge in the Southern Riverfront. Exploring opportunities for purely public or public-private access and ownership within the Southern riverfront which gives people a sense of their proximity to and enjoyment of the Sacramento River.
Reducing flooding impacts. Designating suitable uses and designing naturalized spaces that hold water, reduce flood impacts, and ensure that any new development is resilient to occasional inundation likely based on its location in and near the 100-year floodplain.

COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE:
EMERGING RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY
May 09, 2025
Project Overview
In April 2023, the Redding City Council began a community-led process to update the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan. The purpose of this project is to reintroduce the community to the river by creating a long-term vision for the 380 acres of public and private land and water along the Sacramento River. The Specific Plan document, which will be developed based on significant community engagement and discussion, will ultimately establish goals, policies, and development standards to guide public and private development, land stewardship and conservation, roadway and infrastructure projects, and other activities within the study area. It will also include a series of implementation strategies necessary to transform the community vision for the Riverfront into a reality.
Community Open House Overview
The purpose of the Community Open House was to solicit the community’s feedback on emerging Riverfront concepts. This interactive Open House provided them with an opportunity to:
• Review and provide feedback on the emerging concepts. • Share additional ideas, insights and perspectives.
• Learn about the City’s planning process and ways they can stay involved.

Major Themes and Feedback
The following is a summary of the major themes and feedback provided by the community during the Community Open House.
I. VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES FRAMEWORK AND VISION
FRAMEWORK DIAGRAM
• Many community members favored the River Greenway Trail concept. They liked that the trail system improved connectivity and access to the river. • Many community members felt the need for permanent “conservation easements” in the areas identified as open space and habitat restoration. • Many community members felt it was important to consider the 100-year floodplain and related strategies while planning new developments along the riverfront. • Many community members felt it was important to enhance Redding’s beauty by preserving and increasing natural areas, having consistent setbacks from the river, Packet Pg. 476 Attachment: ^Community Open House Engagement Summary (May 2025) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging Redding Riverfront Specific Plan Redding Riverfront Specific Plan 3
COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE: EMERGING RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
having unique identity and architectural character that sensitively responds to natural setting of the riverfront.
• Several community members felt that any new development along Park Marina Drive should strategically maintain and/or create visual connections with the ponds. • Several community members expressed concerns about parts of the trail passing through private residential properties.
• Several community members felt that the Southern Riverfront should be activated with retail (restaurants, cafes, bookstores) and/or mixed uses that would invite more people and increase safety in the area.
• Several community members suggested a whitewater park as an attraction in the Southern Riverfront.
II. NORTHERN RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• While many community members favored the long-term option of having a single multi-purpose event venue, some favored keeping the existing Rodeo grounds and Civic Auditorium and making focused upgrades to them. There were suggestions for the multi-purpose event venue to have a retractable roof that can be opened or shut based on the type of event.
• Many community members favored the transition of Highway 44 to a city street.
They favored both the river greenway park and the multi-use trails on both sides.
Several community members had reservations to this concept given its likely high cost and regulatory hurdles. In addition, many community members favored the idea of having a second entry-exit connection to the Northern Riverfront. • Many community members suggested having conservation easements in the area identified for open space and natural habitat restoration. • Several community members felt there is a need for more parking to accommodate the increased activities in the Northern Riverfront. There were suggestions for structured parking instead of large surface parking lots. • Several community members felt that area reserved for the Indigenous Cultural Center should be larger. There were suggestions for integrating Indigenous history into the overall trail system.
• Several community members expressed concerns regarding retaining existing businesses and residences.
• Several community members suggested a larger outdoor music platform and space by the Sacramento River with sunshades or increasing the usage of the current riverfront amphitheater through events, performances, etc.
Packet Pg. 477 Attachment: ^Community Open House Engagement Summary (May 2025) (9.4(a)--Update on Emerging Redding Riverfront Specific Plan Redding Riverfront Specific Plan 4
COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE: EMERGING RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• A few community members expressed concerns regarding the formation of a Riverfront Consortium, as they felt it could be a cumbersome process.
III. SOUTHERN RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• Many community members liked the River Greenway Trail concept and felt that it would increase connectivity and access throughout the riverfront. • Many community members expressed concerns regarding the impacts of flooding, particularly in the Southern Riverfront.
• Many community members favored making Park Marina Drive more pedestrian and bicycle friendly. There were additional suggestions for adding charging stations for scooters and increasing shaded outdoor spaces for the public. • Many community members favored Alternative C and D for Park Marina Drive redesign, since they maximize pedestrian circulation and amenities by reducing increasing sidewalk widths on both sides of the street. • Some community members liked Alternative B for the Park Marina Drive redesign because it retained parking on both sides of the street. • Some community members felt that Park Marina Drive should remain as it is.

• Turtle Bay parking is inadequate now.
• Can existing riverfront stage be used more?
• Parking lots need more trees.
• Yay! A 2nd entry from 44 to riverfront.
• Community Sports, Cultural and Arts District seems cumbersome. • Consortium must not include McConnell.
• Include raft or kayak or canoe rentals.
• What do the facilities do to achieve positive annual cash flow? (revenue greater than cost) Lessons for Redding? (Other than creative accounting). • Clarify what is streets vs bike/ped trail on the diagram. • Biking connections or ped.
• Do not take highway 44 out. I’m in favor of another interchange onto 44 from rodeo area x1.
• Don’t move cemetery graves.
• Reducing # of lanes on 44 as Redding is getting busier? That might not be a good idea-more accidents.
• I agree with them that taking 44 out would be terrible. • Let’s create an alternative cut and cover Highway 44 to underground the traffic. • Should mixed use buildings have a limited number of stories? • Great idea to make 44 into a boulevard! Integrates the concept, slows traffic, makes it safer for all traffic participants.
• We prefer Alt B Highway 44 to redesign multi-use trails on both sides. • Alt B Greenway River Park Connector: This one, yes.
• Please consider a conservation easement.
• Agree conservation easements development.
• Yes to conservation easement.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept the General Fund Quarterly Financial Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose to reject the Quarterly Financial Report (Report) and request additional information.
Background/Analysis
Attached for review and information purposes is the Quarterly Financial Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The report, which only pertains to the City of Redding’s (City) General Fund, is divided into four sections. Section One compares revenue received to-date to cash flow projections. Section Two provides the Council with a summary of all General Fund revenues compared to the total revenue forecast for each revenue. Section Three summarizes expenditures by division for the year-to-date thru September compared to cash flow projections.
Section Four compares actual expenditures to the budget as amended.
Revenue
Total revenue to-date is $19,350,739 million, or $3,403,754 (15.0 percent) below staff’s cash flow projection.
Property Tax revenue year-to-date totals $323,250 or $68,880 (17.6 percent) below staff’s cash flow projection of $392,130. Based on the recently completed annual report by the Shasta County Assessor property tax is expected to grow from last fiscal year by approximately 4.4 percent in Redding, whereas 3 percent was the approved growth assumption. From a cash flow basis this number could fluctuate based on payments on the assessment and the timing of the payments. Staff is not recommending any changes at this time to property tax.

Report to Redding City Council November 14, 2025
Re: 9.10(a)--General Fund Financial Report for quarter ended September 2025 Page 2 Sales tax revenue year-to-date totals $7,425,755 or $819,271 (9.9 percent) below staff’s cash flow projection of $8,245,026. This is the cash flow number, which includes an estimate from California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) in July and September and the 2 nd Quarter of the calendar year true up in August, which covers the economic activity from April to June. Reviewing the data and meeting with the City’s vendor, MuniServices, allowed staff to understand that there were some one-time adjustments that negatively impacted the August true up from prior years after completion of some audits by CDTFA. When isolating for the economic activity and comparing to the prior year 2nd Quarter the results would have been flat. Flat would still result in falling short of the two percent growth assumptions. The number above is based on cash flow data and not economic data. This is also impacted by the fact that Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 assumed flat from FY 2024 and FY 2025 ended up $500K below FY 2024. All of these are factors driving the negative sales tax performance. Staff is not recommending any changes at this time to projected sales tax revenue, but if this trend continues Council should be prepared to discuss potential changes to the current year and future years Sales Tax.
Transient Occupancy Tax revenue year-to-date totals $2,453,745 or $72,335 (3.0 percent) above staff’s cash flow projection of $2,381,410. Staff is not recommending a change at this time to Transient Occupancy Tax.
Cannabis Tax revenue year-to-date totals $301,002 or $176,398 (37.0 percent) below staff’s cash flow projection of $477,400. The tax rate was increased by Council vote in March of 2025 and the first quarter which will include the increased rate will be reported in October. Cannabis Tax revenue continues to decline after years of steady growth. Staff is not recommending any changes at this time to Cannabis Tax.
All other tax revenues year-to-date totals are $487,574 or $74,926 (13.3 percent) below staff’s cash flow projection of $562,500. The other tax revenues include franchise fees, business licenses, and real property transfer tax. Staff is not recommending any additional changes at this time to all other tax revenues.
Revenues from the Internal Departments year-to-date totals $4,484,375 which is $2,382,446 below staff’s cash flow projection of $6,866,821. Revenues from the Internal Departments include fixed reimbursements for the Cost Allocation Plan, Public Works Administration, NDPES, In-lieu payments from Electric, internal transfers, internal advances, and payments on advances. The variances are likely timing in nature and will correct by year end. Gas Tax transfers are included and cover most of the streets budget but will only be transferred to the level of expenditures incurred. Staff is not recommending any changes at this time to Internal Department revenues.
Licenses and permit revenues year-to-date totals $630,778 or $43,073 (6.4 percent) below staff’s cash flow projection of $673,851. Staff is not recommending any changes at this time to licenses and permit revenues.
Fines and Penalties revenues year-to-date totals $572,065 which is $374,260 above staff’s cash flow projection of $197,805. Staff is not recommending any changes at this time to fines and penalties revenues.
Revenues from Other Governmental Agencies year-to-date totals $1,183,212 which is $309,756 above staff’s cash flow projection of $873,456. This is primarily due to the timing of completion Packet Pg. 487
Report to Redding City Council November 14, 2025
Re: 9.10(a)--General Fund Financial Report for quarter ended September 2025 Page 3 of various capital projects. As a reminder, staff is still waiting to bill the SAFER grant thru FEMA and waiting for FEMA staff to update the cities UEI number. The grant receivable at the end of FY 2025 was $2.1 Million and should be received in FY 2026 but is not included as part of the budgeted revenues in FY 2026. Staff is not recommending any changes at this time to all other governmental revenues.
Charges for current services year-to-date totals $850,543 which is $444,287 below staff’s cash flow projection of $1,294,830. Staff is not recommending any changes at this time to charges for current services.
All remaining revenue year-to-date totals $638,440 or $150,824 (19.1 percent) below staff’s cash flow projection of $789,264. Staff is not recommending any changes at this time for other revenue projections.
Expenditures
Expenditures through September 2025 (excluding encumbrances) total $30,952,404 or $863,316 (2.9 percent) above staff’s projection.
Overtime
The City’s General Fund budgets for overtime expenditures throughout various City Departments through the quarter ending September 2025 total $2,009,505 or $1,061,158 over staff projections.
• Police Overtime is $452,411, or $80,161 above staff projection; • Fire Overtime is $1,492,906, or $934,308 above staff projection; • Community Services Overtime is $47,788, or $47,788 above staff projection; • Public Works Overtime is $14,992, or $2,508 below staff projection; and • All Other Overtime $1,409, or $1,409 above staff projection.
Although all of the expenses are over budget, there are no additional budget amendments necessary at this time. Each department is projected to have adequate savings in other personnel budget items, additional cross charges to other City departments, and unbudgeted revenues that cover costs incurred.
Reserves
As of September 30, 2025, the General Fund Cash Balance was ($3,351,030) or (3.1) percent.
This is primarily due to two factors, one is the effort to move all grants out of the General Fund and into a dedicated Grants General Fund to help make the reconciliation between the General Fund and 10-Year Plan easier. As can be noted on the Cash report there is $4,829,174 in that fund at this time. In the past all of this cash would have been in the General Fund. Additionally, the General Fund is larger and property tax revenues are higher than ever before. Property Tax revenues will not be received until January for the first disbursement, when the General Fund will receive approximately $16 million. In 2020 this amount was only $11.3 million received in January, which shows the substantive growth in Property Tax over the recent years as this revenue has consistently outperformed projections. The General Fund expenses come out mostly even throughout the year but revenues have some large peaks and valleys. As a result, the General Fund is burning cash through December and then rebuilds the cash balance through the spring months. As mentioned previously thru the end of Fiscal Year 2025 the General Fund is waiting on $2.1 Million from FEMA for the SAFER grant.
At year end, the ten-year plan projects the reserve to be $11,558,000 or 10.7 percent. This could Packet Pg. 488
Report to Redding City Council November 14, 2025
Re: 9.10(a)--General Fund Financial Report for quarter ended September 2025 Page 4 change depending upon the final revenue and expenditure performance. Due to the fact that typically the quarterly updates do not modify the 10-Year Plan staff is not recommending any changes to the projected reserves at this time.
Forward Looking Budget Analysis
This quarterly update clearly outlines some potential modifications that typically would not be done at a quarterly update. As we head toward the Mid-Year budget update, we need to consider Biennial Budget modifications that could both help and hurt the General Fund 10-Year Plan.
As outlined above Sales Tax has underperformed the growth assumptions. This is due to FY 2025 ultimately finishing $500K below the assumption used for FY 2024. During the budget development it was assumed sales tax would be flat from FY 2024 to FY 2025. Additionally, during the 2nd Quarter, quarter ending June 2025 paid in August 2025, sales tax was economically flat compared to the same quarter from FY 2025. Furthermore, one-time adjustments have further negative impacts on the results from a cash basis.
Every August new CalPERS actuarial reports are made available to the City of Redding. The review of the new actuarial reports has been completed and analyzed. As a result, there will be an increased cost pressure on the General Fund. This pressure will begin in FY 2027 and continue on into the future. Below is a list of the impact from the updates. 6/30/2023

While the above reported items may seem negative, there have been some positive items for Council during the current fiscal year, which could be used to offset some of the items listed above and below. Redding Rancheria has agreed to pay the General Fund $3.2 Million – once these funds are received, staff will present options to Council for consideration. Additionally, the sale of Stillwater property and other excess property has created approximately $2.8 Million available to the General Fund. Council previously decided to keep this money in the General Capital Projects Fund. These two sources could bring up to $6 million dollars of one-time money to the General Fund.
Additionally, there is an opportunity to do a bond refunding of General Fund debt which could save the General Fund between $50-75K of savings per year based on current estimates.
In addition to the above items it is important for Council to remember there are many unmet needs within the General Fund for City-owned facilities long-term repair costs and operational costs. Additionally, there are unmet needs for long-term Rolling Stock and Equipment replacement plans. During the biennial budget development process for FY 2026 & FY 2027 there was reductions to expenditures which caused additional modifications to service levels.
