Packet Pg. 64
Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- Section 1. Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.15 (Zoning Exceptions), Section 18.15.030 (Standards for Which Exceptions May Be Considered) is hereby amended to read as follows:
18.15.030 Standards for Which Exceptions May Be Considered An exception may be considered for the following standards. Additional exceptions may be allowed if, in the opinion of the director, they are of a similar nature or magnitude to those listed below:
A. Accessory Structure Front Yard Setbacks. Provided that the minimum front yard setback will be maintained and where adjacent residences will not be adversely affected, the director may allow an accessory structure to be located closer to the street than the existing or proposed residence on the site.
B. Buffer Yards, Alternative. The minimum width of a buffer yard required by Schedule
18.40.020-A: Buffer Yards, may be reduced by up to twenty-five percent (25%) provided that the reduction will not increase the potential for land use impacts between adjoining properties given the circumstances of a particular site.
C. Building Separation. The Director may authorize a reduction in minimum building separation of up to twenty percent (20%) between buildings if the reduction will maintain compliance with the California Building Code.
D. Exceptions to Height Limits. Towers, spires, cupolas, chimneys, elevator penthouses, water tanks, monuments, theater scenery lofts, and similar structures and mechanical appurtenances covering no more than twenty percent (20%) of the top-floor roof area of the structure to which they are attached may exceed height limits by no more than ten feet (10’) with no discretionary review. The director may approve greater height upon making the findings required by Section 18.15.040 (Required Findings) of this chapter.
E. Fence Height. In any district, the maximum height of any fence, wall, hedge, or equivalent screening may be increased by a maximum of two feet (2’) where the topography of sloping sites or a difference in grade between adjoining sites warrants such increase in height to maintain a level of privacy or to maintain effectiveness of screening as generally provided by such fence, wall, hedge, or screening in similar circumstances.
F. Front-Yard Setback (Increase). In the “RS” and “RE” districts, the Director may increase the maximum front-yard setback where it is determined that the increase will not unreasonably affect abutting sites.
G. Front-Yard Setback (Decrease). In any district, the director may decrease the minimum setback by ten percent (10%) where the decrease will not unreasonably affect abutting sites provided that no exception shall be granted for a garage that is designed to have vehicles back directly out into the street. In addition, the director is authorized to grant a five percent (5%) reduction in any setback requirements where construction has commenced and a mistake was made in the surveying or plans preparation.
Packet Pg. 65
Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- H. Garage Setback/Sloped Lots. Where the elevation of a lot at a point twenty feet (20’) behind the entire frontage of a lot (as measured from the back of curb) is seven feet (7’) above or below the level of the curb, a private garage (attached or detached) for a single-family residence may have a minimum front yard setback of ten feet (10’) from the front property line of the lot provided that a third open parking space is provided on the site.
I. Lot Size. In any “RE” or “RS” zone, the Director may authorize a maximum ten percent (10%) reduction in parcel area on parcels created by parcel map if two or more existing parcels within two hundred feet (200’) of the proposed parcel map are less than the minimum parcel size.
J. Multi-story Limitations; Transitional Building Height; Skyplane. The Director may reduce the higher or second-story setbacks required by Section 18.31.030, and/or reduce the building-height limitations established by Sections 18.32.040 and 18.33.040, and/or skyplane requirements by up to twenty percent (20%) upon determining that any of the following are in evidence:
1. Existing rear or side yard setbacks in the abutting “RE” or “RS” district are sufficient to ensure that the intent of the multistory, transitional height or skyplane limitations are met.
2. The difference in existing or proposed finished grade between building sites is such that privacy, height, or bulk impacts to any residential district would not be present if requirements are reduced.
3. The size or configuration of the developing property is such that it is infeasible to meet the limitations of these sections.
K. Reserved.
L. Parking—Space and Aisle-Dimension Reductions. Because of circumstances unique to a property, such as size, shape, topography, location of easements, or desirable trees, the Director may authorize up to a ten percent (10%) reduction in open parking-space or aislewidth dimension for commercial and multiple-family residential uses with four or more units.
Such exception may be allowed only when it is proven that the reduction will not result in a traffic hazard or impact the necessary parking for the use.
M. Parking—Reduction in Covered Spaces. For single-family residences in existing neighborhoods, one covered parking space may be permitted by zoning exception when at least one additional off-street parking space is provided on the building site, the subject property is an existing, legally created lot the director determines that the predominate offstreet parking arrangement in the immediate vicinity is a single covered space, and that granting the exception would not contribute to an existing on-street parking problem.

Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- N. Recreational Vehicle Storage/Parking.
1. Recreational Vehicle Storage. In the “RE” and “RS” districts, the director may approve a zoning exception to allow not more than one recreational vehicle, as defined in Schedule 18.31.030-C, Note (8), to be parked within the front or street side-yard setback area subject to the following findings and requirements:
a. The Director finds that the applicant has submitted an affidavit and related materials that affirm the following:
i. There is no physical space available to access and/or store the vehicle within an interior side or rear yard. These site conditions include, but are not limited to, such things as:
(A) Existing building setbacks and eaves and other building projections (does not include the location of buildings with a size of one-hundredtwenty (120) square feet or less); (B) Location of mature tree(s);
(C) Location of HVAC or similar equipment;
(D) Existence of substantial slopes.
ii. Notices of the zoning exception application shall be sent to all owner(s) of real property sharing a common street frontage within three hundred feet (300’) of the applicant’s property. Should two (2) or more owners of real property within the notification area object in writing to the approval of the zoning exception or appeal the approval by the Director, the zoning exception shall not be granted.
iii. The parking of such vehicles is not prohibited by any conditions, covenants, and restrictions (CC&Rs) applied to the property. The applicant shall provide either: (1) a copy of the CC&Rs applicable to the property or (2) if no CC&Rs have been recorded, a title report for the subject property sufficiently current to determine whether the property is subject to CC&Rs. iv. The vehicle is operable and is owned by and registered to the occupant of the premises upon which it is parked.
b. Vehicle Parking Conditions.
i. Vehicles shall be parked generally perpendicular to the front property line. ii. Storage shall be allowed only on areas surfaced with all-weather materials, such as concrete, asphalt, brick, stone, gravel, or similar material, and shall Packet Pg. 67
Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- not obstruct the ingress or egress to and from existing garage doors. Storage shall not occur within a lawn or other landscaped area. iii. The vehicle shall not be parked closer than two feet (2’) to a side property line.
iv. No part of the vehicle may extend more than three feet (3’) into the public or private right-of-way or be closer than two feet (2’) to a public sidewalk. v. Vehicles shall not be occupied for living purposes.
vi. The vehicles shall be maintained in a clean and inoffensive manner.
Offensive includes, but is not limited to, unrepaired collision damage; broken glass; flat tires; discharge of effluent; discarding of litter or other materials; or a general unsightly exterior appearance as exhibited by peeling paint, rust, or attachment of siding materials not original to the recreational vehicle.
Covering of the vehicle by tarp or similar material is not allowed. The use of custom covers made specifically for the type and size of vehicle is permitted. vii. The zoning exception shall not be transferable to a subsequent owner of the property.
viii. Registration shall remain current throughout the term of the zoning exception. Note: Vehicles registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles as “Non-Op” are not considered to be registered vehicles for the purpose of this section.
ix. Zoning exceptions shall be valid for a period not to exceed three (3) years.
Upon application, the director may grant one or more renewals not to exceed a time period of three (3) years for each renewal. Noticing, property owner objection/appeal, and other provisions and requirements pertaining to the original approval shall apply to renewal requests.
2. Parking for Affordable or Disabled Housing Projects. The requirement to provide parking for recreational vehicles for multiple-family units may be waived, provided that the project qualifies as an affordable housing project as defined by the State Government Code and provided that the necessary area for providing the required spaces is set aside and maintained in landscape to allow conversion to parking should the use convert from affordable or disabled housing to standard multiple-family use.
O. Reversing the Frontage of a Corner Lot. The front yard and street side yard setbacks on a corner lot that were established at the time of issuance of a building permit for the original structure may be reversed for the purpose of establishing yard requirements provided that:
1) the reversal will not result in the placement of structures that are inconsistent with the Packet Pg. 68
Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- general nature of the neighborhood and 2) vehicular and pedestrian safety will not be jeopardized.
P. Roof-Mounted Heating and Air Conditioning Equipment. The Director may approve installation of roof-mounted residential heating and air-conditioning equipment provided that the equipment cannot be seen from any existing or future public street, park, school, open space, or other public area for a distance of at least six hundred feet (600’). In making such a determination, the Director shall consider such factors as the method of screening proposed, topography of the site and surrounding sites, and allowable height of existing and future buildings within six hundred feet (600’) of the proposed equipment.
Q. Accessory Dwelling Units. Size Increase — The Director may authorize up to a twenty percent (20%) increase in the allowable size of an accessory dwelling unit provided that the Director determines that the exception is necessary to provide for the reasonable accommodation for one or more disabled persons who will reside in the accessory dwelling unit.
R. Shade Trees in Parking Lot. The Director may authorize a maximum twenty-five percent (25%) reduction in the number of shade trees required in a parking lot provided that the total number of trees required is provided in alternate locations on the site adjacent to the parking area.
S. Side Yard and Rear Yard Setbacks. In any district, the Director may decrease the minimum setback by not more than twenty percent (20%) where the proposed setback area or yard is in character with the surrounding neighborhood and is not required as an essential open-space or recreational amenity to the use of the site, where such decrease will not unreasonably affect abutting sites. In the “GO” district, one side yard other than a street side yard may be decreased to that established for an adjacent existing building provided that one side yard has a minimum setback of ten feet (10’) (fifteen feet (15’) if adjacent to an “R” District).
T. Sign Height, Increased. The Director may authorize an increase in pole sign height not to exceed thirty-five feet (35’) when necessary for sign visibility due to topography; surrounding buildings; existing trees to be preserved, except City street trees; or similar circumstances. The Director shall consider, in addition to visibility or sight obstructions, vehicle speed, visibility/readability from freeway off-ramp locations, or other factors which may negate the benefit otherwise gained by increased sign height.
U. Surfacing. The requirement for paving driveways over one-hundred-fifty feet (150’) in length may be waived provided that: 1) the first thirty feet (30’) from the paved street or back of the sidewalk shall be paved, 2) the driveway-surfacing requirements of the Fire Marshal shall be met, and 3) the driveway is not located within seventy-five feet (75’) of an existing or future residence.
V. Unique Parking Demand Uses. The Director may authorize up to a ten percent (10%) reduction in the off-street parking requirement upon an adequate showing that parking Packet Pg. 69
Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- demand for a use is less than that required by Chapter 18.41, (Off-Street Parking and Loading) of this title.

F. Buffer yards shall be provided for residential uses at the side and rear property lines of the residential development if required by the Director.
Section 6. Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.40 (Development and Site Regulations), Section 18.40.120 (Trash Enclosure Containers) is hereby amended to read as follows:
18.40.120 Trash Container Enclosures
A. Purpose.
1. To establish design and locational criteria for the construction of trash-, organic- and recycling-container enclosures in conjunction with multiple-family residential, commercial, and industrial developments. The Director is authorized to require that a trash-, organic- and recycling-container enclosure meeting the standards of this section be constructed as a condition of obtaining a site development permit, use permit, or building permit on any site that does not have the required enclosure.
2. To ensure that enclosures are functional, serviceable, durable, unobtrusive, and architecturally compatible with the adjacent buildings.
3. To ensure adequate areas for the storage of recyclable materials as required by the California Solid Waste Reuse and Recycling Act of 1991, Recycling Act of 1991, AB 341, Senate Bill (SB) 1383, SB 1826 and City Ordinance 2648 (9.28.30).

Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- B. Applicability.
1. Trash-, organic- and recycling-container enclosures. Required for all new multiplefamily developments consisting of four (4) or more dwelling units and for all office, commercial, and industrial developments. Alterations (including cumulative alterations) resulting in a cumulative increase in floor area of 20 percent or more require installation of a recyclable-materials closure.
2. Trash, organic and recycling enclosures may be functionally combined into a single unit or may be established at separate locations on a parcel subject to the design criteria established by this chapter and the approval of the Director.
3. The Director is authorized to require that a trash-container enclosure meeting the standards of this code be constructed as a condition of obtaining a building permit on any site that does not have such an enclosure.

R 4 or more dwelling units
O, I, PS All development
C All development1
Note:1 For residential development in "C" districts, applies only to 5 or more multiple-family dwellings.
C. Location and Orientation. All enclosures shall comply with the California Fire Code and shall meet the following requirements unless it is demonstrated that they are infeasible as determined by the Director. A building permit shall not be issued for a project until documentation of approval of the location is provided by the Director.
1. No enclosures shall be located within any required front-yard or street side-yard setback areas unless it is satisfactorily demonstrated to the Director that due to originality of design, architectural treatments, and lack of visibility of loading areas, the location meets the intent of this section.
2. Trash enclosures with a 50-foot unobstructed approach shall be located so that frontload equipment having a 17.5-foot wheel base and an outside turning radius of 45 feet has sufficient maneuvering area and, if feasible, so that the collection equipment can avoid backing. The enclosure pad with an apron area 10 feet in width and 12 feet in length shall not have a slope, including cross slope, exceeding 2 percent. The pad shall not be elevated above the apron.

Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025-
3. The enclosure openings shall be oriented so that front-load disposal equipment can head in directly to the enclosure opening to access the container without removing it from the enclosure.
4. Trash enclosures shall be located so that front-load equipment can enter and exit the property using through driveways, thus avoiding backing maneuvers. If through driveways are not practical, sufficient maneuvering area shall be provided to allow collection equipment to turn around. Enclosures shall not be placed in areas where collection equipment will have to back into the street to exit the property. The Solid Waste Division may approve alternate locations where considered appropriate based on site constraints, such as site size and layout, and taking into consideration the average number of vehicle trips on abutting streets.
5. Recycling enclosures shall be located within 10 feet of a driveway aisle or parking area.
A 4-foot-wide concrete walkway shall be provided between the enclosure entrance and the driveway or parking area. The slope of the walkway shall not exceed 5 percent.
6. All enclosure types shall be consolidated to minimize the number of collection sites and located so as to reasonably equalize the distance from the building spaces they serve.
7. The area in front of all enclosure types shall be kept clear of obstructions; shall not be utilized for parking; and shall be painted, striped, and marked "No Parking." D. Materials, Construction, and Design. The various components of trash- and recyclingcontainer enclosures shall be constructed and thereafter maintained as follows:
1. Minimum Size. The size of trash and/or recycling-container enclosures shall be determined by the Solid Waste Division and will be based on the container sizes required by that Division.
2. Minimum Height. Six feet for all enclosures.
3. Enclosure Material. Solid masonry or concrete tilt-up with decorated exterior-surface finish compatible to the main structure(s). If the enclosure is not visible from a public walkway, street, or residential area, the enclosure may be constructed of chain-link fencing with wood or plastic inserts.
4. Gate Material. Decorative, solid, heavy-gauge metal or of a heavy-gauge metal frame with a covering of a view-obscuring material. If not visible from a public street or residential area, the enclosure gates may be constructed of chain link with wood or plastic inserts.
5. Gate Construction. Gates shall be hung so that they do not decrease the minimum width requirement for the enclosure opening (see diagram below). Gates are to be secured in the closed position by steel cane bolts. Holes are to be drilled in the adjacent Packet Pg. 83
Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- asphalt for the cane bolts to hold the enclosure gates in the wide-open position, minimally 120 degrees, during collection.
6. Enclosure Pad. Four-inch-thick-minimum concrete pad.
7. Bumpers. Bumpers measuring at least 2 inches high by 6 inches wide shall be affixed on the floor of the interior at the base of the trash enclosure walls for the protection of the enclosure walls. The bumpers should be made of concrete, steel, or other suitable material and shall be anchored to the concrete pad.
8. Protection for Enclosures. Concrete curbs or equivalent shall protect enclosures from adjacent vehicle parking and travelways.
9. Travelways and Area in Front of Enclosure. A 50-foot unobstructed approach with an adequate base to support a truck weight of 62,000 pounds.
10. Signs. A sign clearly identifying the recycling collection area(s) and the materials accepted shall be posted adjacent to the recycling-container enclosure. The sign shall be a minimum of 17 inches high by 22 inches long. Lettering shall consist of not less than one-inch letters.
11. Trees. Trees shall not be planted that will canopy over or overhang a trash enclosure E. Combined Trash- and Recycling-Container Enclosures
These enclosures shall utilize separate compartments, although the entrances may be served by a common gate. The enclosure shall be designed such that the recycling bins can be serviced without removal of the trash container. The requirements of Subsection D (Materials, Construction, and Design) shall apply.
Section 7. Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.41 (Off-Street Parking and Loading), Section
18.41.040 (Off-Street Parking Spaces Required) and 18.41.100 (Screening and Landscape), is hereby amended to read as follows:
18.41.040 Off-Street Parking Spaces Required
All covered and uncovered off-street parking spaces required by Schedule 18.41.040-A shall be improved and maintained in accordance with the requirements of this chapter.
Unless otherwise approved pursuant to Sections 18.41.030(G) or (J), the required parking spaces shall be located on the same building site as the use or building they are intended to serve.

18.41.100 Screening and Landscape
A. Fencing. In order to reduce or eliminate headlight glare and loss of privacy, newly constructed outdoor off-street parking areas that cause vehicle headlights to be cast upon a neighboring residential window or a vacant lot in a residential district shall be screened with a masonry wall or a solid wooden fence not less than four feet (4’) in height. Said screening shall be maintained in good condition at all times, shall be kept free at all times of advertising signs, and shall be set back from any abutting public street a distance equal to the distance which such parking area must be set back from any abutting public street.
Packet Pg. 88
Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- No wall shall be required where there exists a wall that complies with the requirements of this paragraph, either on the common property line or adjacent thereto, on either side of the common property line, provided, however, that if such wall is thereafter removed, a replacement wall shall be required forthwith from the owner of the parking facility.
Where a wood fence is substituted for a solid masonry wall, such fence shall be constructed so that the boards overlap or are otherwise designed such that a person cannot see through them as a result of subsequent shrinkage. The fence shall have fence posts of either wood treated to resist rot and termites or of iron, steel, or masonry; and in all cases, fence posts must be set in concrete. Under no circumstances shall walls, fences, or shrubbery be placed or maintained on the property in such a manner as to interfere with visibility so as to endanger safe ingress and egress. As an alternative to a fence, an earth berm, or earth berm and wall, can be substituted for the required fence.
B. Street-Side Planter. The required front and corner side-yard setbacks shall be landscaped.
Notwithstanding the setback requirements established by this ordinance, where a parking lot abuts a two-lane public street, it shall be separated therefrom by a planter not less than ten feet (10’) in width. Where a parking lot abuts a four-lane-or-more public street or a street designated on the General Plan as a four-lane-or-more arterial street, it shall be separated therefrom by a planter not less than fifteen feet (15’) in width. In commercial districts, landscaped setbacks from non-access State highways shall average no less than twenty (20) feet (15 feet minimum). Planter-width requirements are as measured from the property line.
Planter-width minimums can be met using variable widths and may encroach into setback areas provided that the average width meets the minimum-width requirements as determined by the Development Services Director. If the sidewalk on the street is not adjacent to the property line, the area between the back of the sidewalk and the property line shall also be landscaped in addition to the above requirements. Public sidewalks may be located within the on-site landscape areas. Wherever the Zoning Code or more restrictive requirement of the City requires a greater-width planter than the above minimum, the greater requirement shall prevail.
The landscape planter between the parking facility and the street shall include shrubs that will attain a minimum height of three feet (3’) above parking lot grade within eighteen (18) months of installation. The plant materials and spacing shall be adequate to effectively screen the parking facility from the street. City-approved street trees shall be planted within the street-side planter on thirty-foot (30’) centers or in groupings approved by the Development Services Director.
As an alternative to plants alone, the following other techniques may be used:
1. Grass-covered berm a minimum of three feet (3’) in height with a slope not steeper than 3:1.
Packet Pg. 89
Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025-
2. A three-foot (3’) high, open decorative fence in
combination with climbing and non-climbing
plants.
3. A three-foot (3’) high, minimum four inch (4”)
thick, decorative solid masonry or concrete wall
at the back of the planter with a ground cover
and/or other plants between the wall and the
street.
4. Vegetation or screening of any type shall not
exceed three feet (3’) in height within areas
where adequate vehicle sight distance would
otherwise be obstructed. Where such screening
is adjacent to a street corner or driveway intersection, screening shall not exceed three feet (3’) in height in the triangle formed by the corner and points at the curb thirty feet (30’) from the intersection or similar corner points within twenty feet (20’) of a driveway intersection.
C. Shade Trees. Shade trees shall be planted in the parking lot at a ratio of one tree for every four (4) spaces. Trees shall be dispersed on a generally equal basis throughout the parking lot to maximize the shading effect on the parking stalls. The landscape planter providing for any required tree shall have a minimum area of seventy-two square feet (72 ft2) and a minimum width of six feet (6’). To qualify as parking lot shade trees, the tree must be of a species and variety with an ultimate height and canopy that will provide a shading effect, and the trees must be within seven-and-one-half feet (7.5’) of a parking space or driveway aisle and must not be located within the public right-of-way. A parking space shall not be more than fifty feet (50’) from a shade tree. The planting plans shall be submitted with the building permit application and shall illustrate how the trees are to be irrigated and protected. The minimum size of each tree to be planted shall be a fifteen (15) gallon size. In those instances where parking is proposed underground or within a building, the tree to parking space ratio shall be 1:10. Said trees shall be planted within street-frontage planters or within other landscaped areas in the development.
D. Parking Lot Interior Landscape. The interior of all parking lots is to be landscaped at a ratio of sixty square feet (60 ft2) of landscape for each required parking space. For each additional space provided that exceeds the minimum parking requirement by more than five (5) spaces, or ten percent (10%), whichever is greater, eighty square feet (80 ft2) of landscape shall be provided for each excess space. The total required interior landscape area shall be evenly distributed throughout the parking areas. This requirement does not apply to parking lots that are underground or within buildings. Landscape areas that may be applied towards the required parking lot interior landscape area must have a minimum dimension of four feet (4’), be surrounded by or within seven-and-one-half feet (7.5’) of a parking space or the aisle or pedestrian walkway serving it, or be within the required streetside landscape area adjacent to a parking space or aisle serving it. Landscape within a public right-of-way or in excess of the required streetside landscape addressed in Subsection B does not count toward meeting Packet Pg. 90
Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- the minimum requirement. No more than twelve (12) parking spaces may be constructed in a row without separating the spaces with a landscape planter a minimum of eight feet (8’) in width. Rows of parking spaces shall be separated from adjoining driveways with landscape end islands or peninsulas that are a minimum width of eight feet (8’). When calculating landscape area or width minimums, the area of the protective curbing shall not be included.
E. Pavement Edge and Planter Protection. Landscaped areas and pavement edges in all multiple-family, commercial, and industrial zones shall be protected from damage and deterioration by the placement of six-inch (6”) high, securely anchored, continuous concrete curbs or equivalent materials which have a minimum width of six inches (6”).
F. Building Separators. Excepting single-family residences and second dwelling units, parking spaces directly abutting a building are prohibited. Parking areas shall be separated from a building by a raised walkway or landscape at least four feet (4’) in width.
Section 8. Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.42 (Signs), Section 18.42.030 (General Standards), is hereby amended to read as follows:
18.42.030 General Standards
A. Maximum Sign Area for Each Lot. Except in the “RL,” “RE,” “RS,” “RM,” and “PF” Districts, the maximum sign area for each lot shall be based on the scaled relationship between the lot’s street frontage and area in accordance with the sign-area limitations of the lot’s zoning district as established in Schedule 18.42.030-A. The most restrictive of the lot’s frontage and area shall determine the maximum sign area for the entire lot. The mathematical expressions for determining this area shall be as follows: starting with a street frontage of fifty feet (50’) and area of six thousand five hundred square feet (6,500 ft2), for each twenty feet (20’) of additional street frontage (on the same street) together with each two thousand square feet (2,000 ft2) of lot area, additional increments of sign area according to the zoning districts noted in the schedule shall be permitted to face any one adjacent street in any one direction provided that no sign or cluster of signs on the lot shall exceed the maximum sign area for any one sign as set forth in Schedule 18.42.030-B of this section. The incremental sign-area increases are uniform except for the “LO” and “GO” districts, where the increase ceases at a maximum sign area of two hundred square feet (200 ft2) for a lot with a frontage of six hundred ten feet (610’) or an area of sixty-two thousand, six hundred square feet (62,600 ft2); thereafter, regardless of the frontage and lot area, the maximum sign area shall be two hundred square feet (200 ft2). Ten percent (10%) of the allowable sign area per lot shall be reserved for temporary promotional advertising including banners and windowpainted signs. Maximum sign area allowed in the residential and public facilities districts noted above shall be based on the allowable sign type/size as indicated in Schedule
18.42.030-B. The allowable type and size shall be established by administrative sign permit or, in the case of new development, by the site development permit or use permit required by Chapter 18.36.

2 A monument sign up to ninety (90) square feet may be erected in lieu of a pole sign subject to meeting the requirements of Section 18.42.040(E). Monument signs exceeding ninety (90) square feet require approval of a Site Development Permit.
3 An Administrative Sign Permit is required if the sign was not approved in conjunction with tentative map or planned development approval.
4 A Use Permit is required for a shopping center identifier sign. 5 Cumulative wall signage on any one wall shall not exceed twenty percent of the wall area on which the signs are located.
6 Maximum sign area for temporary banners associated with an administrative sign permit will be limited to the maximum sign area allowed in that zoning district.
C. Computation of Sign Height and Area
1. Computation of Height. The height of a sign shall be computed as the distance from the base of the sign at normal grade to the top of the highest attached component of the sign. Normal grade shall be construed to be the lower of the existing grade prior to construction or the newly established grade after construction, exclusive of any filling, berm, mounding, or excavating solely for the purpose of locating the sign. In cases in which the normal grade cannot reasonably be determined, sign height shall be computed on the assumption that the elevation of the normal grade at the base of the sign is equal to the elevation of the nearest point of the crown of a public street or the grade of the land at the principal entrance to the principal structure on the lot, whichever is more restrictive.
2. Computation of Sign Area. The sign area shall be measured as the area within the smallest perimeter that will enclose all the letters, figures, or symbols which comprise the sign, but excluding essential supports. For double-faced signs, the area will be the total of one side. For multi-faced signs, area will be the total of all faces. See also,
18.62.130, Measuring Sign Area.

34. Hydraulic Engineering Center Model 1 (HEC-1) (succeeded by HEC-HMS). The model is designed to simulate the surface runoff response of a stream basin to precipitation by representing the basin as an interconnected system of hydrologic and hydraulic components.
Each component models an aspect of the precipitation-runoff process within a portion of the basin, commonly referred to as a sub-basin. A component may represent a surface-runoff entity, a stream channel, or a reservoir. Representation of a component requires a set of parameters which specify the particular characteristics of the component and mathematical relations which describe the physical processes. The result of the modeling process is the computation of stream flow by hydrographs at desired locations in the stream basin. The model can be used in making flood predictions from rainfall runoff for any state of upstream urbanization. In so doing, the model considers time of concentration and detention characteristics of the tributary area. The model can also be used to estimate the velocity of surface water but cannot be used to determine backwater-curve elevations. A hydraulic computer program (HEC-2) is generally used in conjunction with HEC-1 to obtain backwater curves or surface-water profiles. The model can also be used to develop discharge-frequency Packet Pg. 118 Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- curve and associated levels of confidence through sensitivity analysis of rainfall and runoff parameter input.
35. Hydraulic Engineer Center Model 2 (HEC-2) (succeeded by HEC-RAS). This model is intended for calculating water-surface profiles for steady, gradually varied flow in natural or manmade channels. Both subcritical and supercritical flow profiles can be calculated. The effects of various obstructions, such as bridges, culverts, weirs, and structures, in the floodplain may be considered in the computations. The computational procedure is based on the solution of the one-dimensional energy equation with energy loss due to friction evaluated with Manning’s equation. The computational procedure is generally known as the Standard Step Method. The program is also designed for application in floodplain management and flood-insurance studies to evaluate floodway encroachments and to designate flood-hazard zones. Also, capabilities are available for assessing the effects of channel improvements and levees on water-surface profiles.
36. Hydraulic Engineering Center Water Resources Council Model CPD-13. This model is used in calculating the flood-frequency curve from data over a period of time from streamgauge history of sufficient length (40 years, if available; if only twenty (20) years or less is available, several gauges or other methodologies should be considered). The model is capable of developing confidence limits associated with the frequency curve.
37. Lowest Floor. The lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area, including a basement. An unfinished or flood-resistant enclosure below the lowest floor that is usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access, or storage in an area other than a basement area is not considered a building’s lowest floor provided that it conforms to applicable non-elevation design requirements, including, but not limited to:
a. The wet flood proofing standard in Section 18.51.080(D)(3). b. The anchoring standards in Section 18.51.080(B).
c. The construction materials and methods standards in Section 18.51.080(C). d. The standards for utilities in Section 18.51.080(E). e. For residential structures, all subgrade enclosed areas are prohibited because they are considered to be basements. This prohibition includes below-grade garages and storage areas.
38. Manufactured Home. A structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities. The term “Manufactured Home” does not include a “recreational vehicle.”

This term includes structures which have incurred “substantial damage,” regardless of the actual repair work performed. Market value will be estimated using the tax assessed value of the structure, excluding the land value. If the improvement/repair cost (as determined by the valuation of the building permit application) is less than or equal to forty percent (40%) of Packet Pg. 121 Attachment: ^Ordinance No. 2686 - Title 18 Zoning Clean-Up (4(c)--Adopt Ordinance No.2686 Amending Title 18 Rezoning Application RZ-2025- the market value estimate, then the improvement/repair is not a substantial improvement. If the improvement/repair cost is greater than forty percent (40%) of the market value estimate, then the improvement/repair is a potential substantial improvement, and a certified appraisal shall be submitted. The appraisal shall determine the value of the structure being improved, separate from the land value. The term “substantial improvement” does not, however, include either:
1. Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of State or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to ensure safe living conditions.
2. Any alteration of a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places or a State Inventory of Historic Places provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure’s continued designation as a “historic structure.”

(1) Front-Yard Setback. The required front-yard setback may be determined through averaging provided that when four (4) or more parcels in a block have been improved with structures, the minimum front-yard setback shall be the average of the setbacks on the improved parcels if this average is less than the minimum setback required by this chapter. The maximum setback in the “RE” and “RS” Districts for lots less than forty thousand square feet (40,000 ft2) is fifty feet (50’), or forty percent (40%) of the lot depth, whichever is greater unless a zoning exception is obtained.
(2) Multi-story Limitations. In order to limit impacts to the rear-yard privacy of single-family developments and to ensure adequate building bulk and height transitions between single-family and multiple-family districts, the following “RM” multistory setback is established:
The minimum setback to a second or higher story, where an “RM” District abuts an “RE” or “RS” District shall be twenty-five feet (25’). For discretionary permits, including subdivision of land, the approving body may require second-story setbacks up to fifty feet (50’) if, given the circumstances of the site and surrounding properties—such as building size and height, topography, and similar considerations—the additional setback is necessary to achieve the intent of this section.
(3) Minimum Yards. Projections into yards are allowed for decks, porches, bay windows, roof eaves and similar features; see Section 18.40.030, Building Projections into Setback Areas. (4) Minimum Side Yard. The minimum side yard shall be increased two feet (2’) per story for each story over two (2) in a multiple-family building, unless the upper story is set back ten feet (10’) from the building face. Where a dwelling fronts on a side yard, the side yard shall be a minimum of fifteen feet (15’).

CC agenda item # 4(d)
(5) Private and Common Outdoor Living Area. Each multiple-family residential development (two (2) or more dwelling units on a single lot) shall provide private and common areas for its tenants. Private areas typically consist of covered or uncovered balconies, decks, patios, porches, fenced yards, and similar areas outside the residence. A minimum of eighty square feet (80 ft2) with a minimum depth of ten feet (10’) shall be provided with each dwelling unit. The minimum depth can be reduced to six feet (6’) for upper-story units.
Common outdoor-activity areas typically consist of landscape areas, walks, patios, swimming pools, barbeque areas, shade elements, playgrounds, turf, or other such improvements as are appropriate to enhance the outdoor environment of the development. All areas not improved with buildings, parking, vehicular access ways, trash enclosures, and similar items shall be developed as common areas with the type of attributes described above. Common areas in developments of twenty (20) or more dwelling units must be of sufficient size and arrangement such that they allow adequate area for gathering, play, and other outdoor activities for their tenants and guests.
(6) Garage Frontage Limitations. Where garage doors face a street, garage fronts (in linear feet) shall not exceed 45 percent (45%) of the width of the lot as measured at the proposed building setback line. This limitation can be exceeded by an additional 10 percent (10%) of the lot frontage where the garage extends beyond the front door of the residence and is separated by a depth of no more than 6 feet (6’), measured from a line extended parallel to the plane of the front door. In the case of garages designed to accommodate three (3) or more vehicles, at least one garage front must be offset from the remaining garage fronts by at least two feet (2’).
(7) Maximum Lot Coverage. Maximum lot coverage calculations in the “RM” Districts include buildings, driveways, parking areas, and trash-enclosure areas. Schedule 18.31.030-D indicates the maximum allowable lot coverage in each “RM” District.

(8) Recreational Vehicle Storage. Recreational vehicles, including, but not limited to, motor homes, travel trailers, detached campers/shells, boats, and trailers of all types shall not be stored within any front-yard or street side-yard setback unless a zoning exception is granted pursuant to Chapter 18.15. Such vehicles are permitted to be stored in interior side-yard or rear-yard setback areas. Items stored within the setback areas must be placed so as to prevent violations of the California Building Code with respect to egress, natural light, and ventilation and shall not contribute to or constitute blight, as defined by the Redding Municipal Code. The regulations of this section do not apply to: (1) Class B motor homes (commonly known as “van conversions”) which otherwise comply with applicable parking standards and (2) temporary parking of recreational vehicles as necessary for customary active loading and unloading activities associated with the intended use of the vehicles for a period not to exceed seventy-two (72) hours in a one-week period. (9) Storage Buildings. No storage buildings or similar structures shall be placed or erected in any front-yard or corner side-yard setback area regardless of size. (10) Corner Side Setback Exception. Corner side setbacks on lots created prior to adoption of this Code (October 1, 2002) may utilize the corner side setback required by the Zoning Code at the time of lot creation, but in no case shall it be less than ten feet (10’). (11) With the exception of driveways, walkways, and porches, no portion of a single-family lot between the front lot line and the dwelling shall be paved, with the following exceptions:
a) An area no greater than twenty feet (20’) in width adjacent to the side of a driveway that is nearest to an abutting lot may be paved and utilized for off-street parking (with the exception of recreational vehicles in accordance with Schedule 18.31.030-C). b) At the discretion of the Director, additional paving for a driveway for access to the rear yard for additional parking of vehicles may be provided. Additional paving may be allowed only when it is proven that the additional paving will not be injurious to public safety or negatively impact the abutting lots.
c) Circular driveways constructed pursuant to an encroachment permit approved by the City Engineer may be utilized for off-street parking.

Section 2. Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.59 (Housing Opportunity Overlay District), Chapter 18.59 is added to read in its entirety as follows:
18.59 “HO” Housing Opportunity Overlay District
18.59.010 - Purpose.
In accordance with California Government Code Section 65583.2(c) as well as the City’s General Plan, the purpose of the “HO” Housing Opportunity Overlay District is to:
1. Implement programs established in the 2020-2028 Housing Element Update to incentivize the development of by-right residential development on parcels identified as vacant sites and which provide capacity for the City to meet its share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation.
2. Create economic opportunity for diverse and affordable housing choices to be developed in areas deemed appropriate and zoned for multiple-family residential development.
3. Encourage the development of housing projects which would increase the supply of marketrate and income-qualifying housing types which help to achieve adequate levels of workforce housing.
18.59.020 - Applicability and Zoning Map Designator
The “HO” Housing Opportunity Overlay Zoning District is combined with any “RM-12” through “RM-18” Residential Multiple Family Zoning District on parcels of land that have been specifically identified in the City’s 2020-2028 Housing Element as vacant residential sites and which have yet to be developed. An amendment to the zoning of parcels identified in the Housing Element with this overlay district may be initiated by the application of a property owner or owners, or upon the initiative of the Director of Development Services, Planning Commission or City Council. The boundary of the overlay district may be applied to the entire parcel identified or applied only to the portions of the parcels which are unconstrained by slope, floodplain or environmental issues and which meet the provisions of California Government Code Section 65583.2.
18.59.030 - Definitions
For purposes of this Section, the following definitions are established:

This applies to both for-rent and for-sale housing.
18.59.040 - Development Standards
Housing Development Projects proposed in accordance with this section shall be subject to the following development standards:
1. Density. Multiple-family residential developments and mixed-use developments meeting the criteria set forth in California Government Code Section 65589.5(h)(2) may be permitted at a density of twenty dwelling units per gross developable acre if at least twenty percent of the units proposed with the project would qualify as affordable to lower income households.
2. Design.
a. Multiple-family residential housing development projects proposed in accordance with this section shall be subject to the same, objective development standards required by the base district.
b. Mixed-use housing development projects proposed in accordance with this section shall be subject to the objective development standards set forth in the “MU” Mixed-Use Overlay District, Chapter 18.54.050 or the “MU-N” Mixed Use Neighborhood Overlay District, Chapter 18.55.050, whichever is deemed appropriate as determined by the Director of Development Services.
18.59.050 – Procedure

B. Where a conflict occurs between the HO overlay district and any other section of the zoning code or any provision of the Redding Municipal Code, the Director of Development Services will determine which regulation prevails.
C. Where the maximum density of the base district is less than twenty units per acre, the maximum density for a housing development project qualifying under this section shall supersede the density set forth in the base district.

A. The Zoning Map of the City of Redding is incorporated in and made part of Municipal Code Title 18, known as the City of Redding Zoning Ordinance.
B. The Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing pertaining to the amendment on October 14, 2025, and recommended that the City Council adopt the attached amendment to the Zoning Map.

Section 4. The Council hereby finds and determines that the enactment of this Ordinance is exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) because CEQA does not apply to a rezoning that implements the schedule of actions contained in an approved housing element pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 65583 of the Government Code. This rezoning action implements Activity 2.5 of the 2020-2028 Housing Element.
Section 5. The boundaries of the districts referred to in Section 18.01.050 of the Redding Municipal Code, as designated on a map entitled “Zoning Map of the City of Redding, California” dated January 7, 2003, are hereby altered as set forth on the map attached hereto and made a part hereof by:

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept update regarding the proclamation declaring a local emergency due to flooding and, pursuant to Public Contract Code 20168 and 22050(c)(1), make a determination by a four-fifths vote that there is a need to continue the emergency.
Fiscal Impact
The City of Redding (City) has been notified of potential emergency aid funding, however, the exact dollar amounts are yet to be determined from the state or federal authorities. Below is a table of identified emergency repair projects with estimated costs and current funding sources.
Location/Project Contractor/FA1 Estimated Costs Funding Source2 Sacramento River Trail FA $2,000 Parks
Caldwell Park FA $10,500 Parks
Clover Creek Preserve FA $3,000 Parks
Angler’s Trail FA $2,000 Parks
Turtle Bay East FA $5,500 Parks
Nur Pon Trails FA $40,000 Parks
Notes:
1. FA – Force Account (Community Services’ crews).
2. If any state and/or federal funding is received for the respective project, the reimbursed amount would be due and payable to the various funding sources. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) funding is 75% state and 25% local match.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to confirm that conditions of a local emergency continue to exist. Under Public Contract Code section 22050(c)(1) the local emergency can only be terminated by a four-fifths vote of the Council.

Re: 4.1(a)--Confirmation of Continued Local Emergency Due to Flooding Page 2 of a local emergency will remain unless an affirmative vote of the Council is made to terminate the local emergency.
Background/Analysis
On February 2, 2025, a storm event occurred in the City, ultimately causing conditions beyond the immediate control of local resources, services, personnel, equipment, and facilities. These winter storms brought heavy rain to all areas of Shasta County which in turn caused a significant increase in releases from Shasta Dam resulting in localized flooding, water rescues, and damage to roadways, trail systems, storm water systems, and other infrastructure.
Due to these events and weather conditions, a local emergency was proclaimed on February 11, 2025, and on February 18, 2025, the Council ratified this proclamation and will continue the declaration until such time that the threat of these storms has subsided, there is no longer an elevated risk to life and property, and the emergency restoration of facilities has been completed.
The local emergency was declared by the City Manager serving in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services under RMC 9.12.030.
The South Bonnyview Boat Launch access road and Parkview Sewer Siphon are now fully repaired. A separate staff report was submitted and approved by the Council on December 2, 2025, that partially ended the emergency for these two projects.
The City’s Parks Division staff completed repairs on the last section of the Nur Pon trail and it is open to the public. With the exception of the Sundial Bridge lighting repairs, all other parks projects are complete. The lighting repairs should be complete in December 2025.
Cal OES has requested estimates for damages to both private and public sites. Staff has met with Cal OES and has sent them information on the damage and associated costs. The current damage is estimated to be $5 million.
On July 29, 2025, in accordance with the California Emergency Services Act, the Governor declared a State of Emergency to exist in Shasta County for the 2025 February Storms. To help the impacted communities recover from the event, California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) funding has been authorized for Shasta County for the 2025 February Storms (CDAA 2025-07). The reimbursement process and exact dollar amounts will be forthcoming from Cal OES.
On August 19, 2025, City staff attended a meeting with Cal OES to discuss the next steps in receiving funding. On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, staff submitted all necessary documents to Cal OES in order to receive funding. Cal OES has scheduled a meeting with City staff on December 16, 2025, to begin discussions on the California Disaster Assistance Funding.
Environmental Review
This activity, Confirmation of a Continued Local Emergency, is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On June 17, 2025, Council determined that maintenance activities performed by the Parks Division are exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. No further action is required.

PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY
WHEREAS between January 31, 2025, and February 17, 2025, Humboldt, Mendocino, Modoc, Napa, Shasta, Sonoma, and Trinity Counties were severely impacted by a series of atmospheric rivers (“2025 February Storms”); and
WHEREAS these 2025 February Storms resulted in excessive rainfall, landslides, and widespread flooding affecting roads and waterways; and WHEREAS under the provisions of Government Code section 8558(b), I find that conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property exist due to the 2025 February Storms in Humboldt, Mendocino, Modoc, Napa, Shasta, Sonoma, and Trinity Counties; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of Government Code section 8558(b), I find that the conditions caused by the 2025 February Storms, by reason of their magnitude, are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of any single local government and require the combined forces of a mutual aid region or regions to appropriately respond; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of Government Code section 8625(c), I find that local authority is inadequate to cope with the magnitude of the extreme peril posed by the 2025 February Storms; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of Government Code section 8571, I find that strict compliance with various statutes and regulations specified in this Proclamation would prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of the 2025 February Storms.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. All agencies of the state government shall utilize and employ state personnel, equipment, and facilities for the performance of any and all activities consistent with the direction of the Office of Emergency Services and the State Emergency Plan.

imposed, with respect to the 2025 February Storms in Humboldt, Mendocino, Modoc, Napa, Shasta, Sonoma, and Trinity Counties.
I FURTHER DIRECT that as soon as hereafter possible, this Proclamation be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State and that widespread publicity and notice be given of this Proclamation.
This Proclamation is not intended to, and does not, create any rights or benefits, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, against the State of California, its agencies, departments, entities, officers, employees, or any other person.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the Great Seal of the State of
California to be affixed this 29th day

1450 Court Street No. 308B
Redding, CA 96001
Subject: Shasta County – 2025 February Storms– Request for a Governor’s State of Emergency and California Disaster Assistance Act Funding Dear Chairperson Crye:
This letter is in response to Shasta County’s request for a Governor’s State of Emergency and financial assistance from the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) as a result of the 2025 February Storms.
In accordance with the California Emergency Services Act, the Governor declared a State of Emergency to exist in Shasta County on July 29, 2025, for the 2025 February Storms. To help the impacted communities recover from the event, CDAA funding is authorized for Shasta County for the 2025 February Storms (CDAA 2025-07). My staff will contact your authorized agent on record under separate cover to provide the forms necessary to apply for reimbursement utilizing the CDAA Program.
Please know Cal OES will continue to work closely with your team during the recovery efforts. Feel free to contact me directly at [email protected], if you have additional questions or would like to discuss this matter further.
Sincerely,
ELI OWEN

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution by a four-fifths vote to confirm and ratify the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services declaring a local emergency and authorizing the City Manager to repair or replace public facilities and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without solicitation of competitive bids in accordance with Public Contract Code 20168 and 22050.
Fiscal Impact
Adoption of the resolution could have a positive fiscal impact of an indeterminate amount as it will facilitate the recovery of the community and the receipt of emergency aid from state, and possibly federal, authorities if it becomes available.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to adopt the resolution or provide alternate direction. Failure to adopt the resolution will result in a legal finding that the local emergency has ceased and will likely negatively impact the receipt of aid from state and/or federal authorities, and the City of Redding’s (City) ability to immediately repair or replace damaged infrastructure.
Background/Analysis
On February 2, 2025, a storm event arrived in the City of Redding, ultimately causing conditions to be beyond the immediate control of local resources, services, personnel, equipment, and facilities. These winter storms have brought heavy rain to all areas of Shasta County which in turn have caused a significant increase in releases from Shasta Dam resulting in localized flooding, water rescues, and damage to roadways, trail systems, storm water systems, and other infrastructure. At this time, continued high-water flows are expected with not all areas having MEETING DATE: February 18, 2025

been fully assessed. The current forecast calls for continued storms and additional snow and rainfall which could further exacerbate the damage and increase the difficulty of recovery efforts.
As the rain continues, the Bureau of Reclamation will be required to continue its high releases from Shasta Dam. There is potential for additional local flooding and infrastructure damage.
Due to these events and weather conditions, a local emergency was proclaimed on February 11, 2025, and it is recommended that the Council ratify this proclamation and continue the declaration until such time that the threat of these storms has subsided, there is no longer an elevated risk to life and property, and the emergency restoration of facilities has been completed.
The local emergency was declared by the City Manager serving in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services under RMC 9.12.030. The Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services is attached.
Pursuant to Government Code section 8630, the Proclamation is valid for seven days. As such, if the Council does not act to adopt a resolution which confirms and ratifies the existence of a local emergency, the declaration of local emergency made under the Proclamation will lapse. A declaration of local emergency provides several benefits in time of emergency. Under Government Code section 8634, it permits a local agency to immediately promulgate orders and regulations necessary to protect the public health and safety. It further permits the State and local agencies to provide mutual aid to the City and makes the costs of such aid incurred by other agencies chargeable to the State. Lastly, the declaration of local emergency facilitates payment to the City by the State under the Disaster Assistance Act (Gov. Code section 8680 et seq.).
The resolution contains all the needed findings to continue the declaration of local emergency under the California Emergency Services Act (Government Code section 8550 et seq.). In the absence of action under Public Contract Code, the Council could declare an emergency under the California Emergency Service Act by a simple majority vote.
However, the resolution also seeks authorization under RMC 4.22.120 and Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050. As such, a fourth-fifths vote of the Council will be required to adopt the resolution. These sections provide authority which the Government Code, addressed above, does not. Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050 collectively provide authority to repair or replace a public facility, and procure the necessary equipment, services and supplies for those purposes without competitive bidding. While notice and competitive bidding are very beneficial in non-emergency situations, these processes are entirely too untimely if we are to immediately protect the public health and safety by restoration of public services and facilities. This is necessary due to the immediate need to repair or replace the 120-inch culvert that failed at the entrance to the Reginato Boat Ramp. This ramp serves as a critical entry point for river access for public safety agencies to effectuate river rescues and to access areas along the river that are otherwise inaccessible. Additionally, river guides and other river related businesses utilize this ramp extensively and prolonged closure will cause significant economic hardship as well as impeding life saving efforts by the Redding Police Department and the Shasta County Sheriff.
It should be noted that RMC 4.22.120 delegates authority to the City Manager to make a finding that the emergency will not permit the delay resulting from a competitive solicitation of bids and that immediate action is necessary to respond to the emergency. However, that authority is only valid for a period of seven days. By making this finding now by means of adoption of the resolution, the Council avoids the unfortunate circumstance whereby the immediate action sought by the City Manager to repair or replace public infrastructure will lapse absent an Packet Pg. 255 Packet Pg. 169 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - 021825 Declaring local emergency (4.1(a)--Confirmation of Continued Local Emergency Due to Flooding) Report to Redding City Council February 12, 2025

immediate, emergency Council meeting. In order to ensure Council oversight, RMC
4.22.120(C)(1) requires review of action under Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050 at every regular meeting until such time as the emergency ceases.
In summary, the resolution serves two important functions. It facilitates coordination with other public agencies assisting the City in responding to the local emergency and is a necessary precondition to receipt of state and federal aid. It also provides authority to the City to use its own resources in accomplishing repair or replacement of damaged public infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner while ensuring Council oversight of all such activity.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with K2 Development Company, Inc., conditioned upon approval by the City Attorney, increasing the total funding for the Quartz Hill Infrastructure Project (C-10294) to $4,054,439; (2) Authorize the Mayor to execute the First Amendment to the Agreement with K2 Development Company, Inc.;
(3) Determine that the amendment of the agreement does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act, and therefore requires no further environmental review; and
(4) Determine that the amendment to the Development Funding Agreement for predevelopment costs is categorially exempt under the National Environmental Policy Act under Title 24 CFR 58.34(a)(1), and acknowledge that a separate environmental review is in progress for the subsequent project.
Fiscal Impact
The additional funding for the proposed First Amendment to the Agreement (Amendment) will be fully funded by Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Infrastructure Program Grant (CDBG-DR-INF) funds allocated to the Quartz Hill Infrastructure Project. This amendment will have no impact on the General Fund.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to approve the Amendment and provide staff alternate direction. However, declining to approve the Amendment may delay completion of the needed predevelopment activities and jeopardize the City’s ability to meet contractual deadlines with the State of California’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Re: 4.2(a)-- First Amendment to Development Funding Agreement with K2 Development Company, Inc Page 2
Background/Analysis
On August 17, 2021, Council authorized the Housing Division to submit a Notice of Intent to HCD for CDBG-DR-INF funds to support infrastructure improvements for a future single-family housing development on City of Redding (City)-owned property at 850 Quartz Hill Road—an approximately 112-acre parcel, currently referred to as The Peaks Project (Project).
In 2022, the City received a CDBG-DR-INF allocation of $22,563,043.51 for the project. To accept the funds, Council approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the CDBG-DR-INF Master Standard Agreement, which HCD fully executed on August 17, 2023.
To initiate predevelopment activities, in December 2023, Council approved a Development Funding Agreement with K2 Development Company, Inc. with a not-to-exceed amount of $2,500,000 for environmental studies, surveying, engineering and civil design, entitlement processing, mapping, and preparation of procurement documents.
The project is intended to deliver a fire-resilient subdivision infrastructure that minimizes environmental impacts while creating developable single-family lots. The City Manager directed staff to ensure the design incorporated enhanced features benefiting future residents and meeting the City’s highest development standards.
As a result, the tentative map required significant internal review and multiple redesigns by the consultant team, along with additional archaeological, biological, and traffic analyses. The revised map reflects these enhancements and complies with modern fire-resilient subdivision standards. The Planning Commission approved the tentative map on October 28, 2025. Due to these expanded efforts, the initial Agreement budget is nearly exhausted.
Accordingly, staff recommends increasing the Agreement by $1,554,439, for a total not-toexceed amount of $4,054,439, to complete the remaining design, environmental, engineering, architectural, and project management work required before construction. Prior to initiating construction, staff will obtain final National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) clearance from HCD and return to Council with a detailed consultant contract with K2 Development Company that outlines the construction schedule and deliverables. Based on current projections, the earliest accelerated timeline would allow final biological surveys to be completed this spring, vegetation removal to begin in early summer, and construction to start in autumn 2026.
Environmental Review
Amending an agreement is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.
Amending a Development Funding Agreement for predevelopment costs is considered exempt under the National Environmental Policy Act under Title 24 CFR 58.34(a)(1). A separate Environmental Assessment is underway for the resulting project.

CITY OF REDDING
SHELTER CRISIS ACTION PLAN
California Government Code Section 8698, et seq., allows the governing body of a city to declare a Shelter Crisis when a significant number of persons are without the ability to obtain shelter, resulting in a threat to their health and safety.
The 2020 Shasta County Point‐in‐Time Report provided that four hundred fifty‐four (454) individuals within the City of Redding “(“City”), including veterans, women, children, individuals with disabilities, senior citizens, and other vulnerable groups, are experiencing unsheltered homelessness within the City. Many of those unable to obtain shelter reside on the streets, in alleys and doorways, along the Sacramento River and its tributaries, and in unlawful encampments throughout the City. These individuals lack adequate sanitary facilities and are at risk from theft, crime, and extreme weather conditions, these conditions threaten the health and safety of the unsheltered population and likewise threaten the public health and safety of the public at large, contribute to a draw on public resources, and threaten the environmental health of the City’s waterways.
In June 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring that the City of Redding has a shelter crisis. A shelter crisis proclaimsthat a significant number of people are without the ability to obtain shelter. Following this declaration, the Council approved two Ordinances (2637 and 2638) thereby amending Redding Municipal Code (RMC) Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.17, subsection 18.17.020 (Temporary Uses Exempt from Permits) and RMC Title 16, Chapter 16.02, subsection 16.02.010 and Chapter 16.03, subsection 16.03.010 relating to establishing the criteria for permitting emergency housing sites and the operation of the same during a declared Shelter Crisis.
With the declaration of a shelter crisis and the City enacting the provisions of RMC Section
18.17.020 and portions of Title 16, these actions allow organizations within the City to request permits issued by the City Council to set up and operate an Emergency Housing Site as defined in the RMC and in Appendix O of the California Building Code. The Emergency Housing Sites will provide low barrier, sanitary shelter for up to 10 months, for those experiencing homelessness.
Wrap‐around supportive services will be provided to the occupants of the Emergency Housing Sites with the goal of moving those individuals into permanent housing.
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 8698 and RMC Chapter 18.17.020, subsection M., 14, the City Manager shall, not later than July 1st of the year following the declaration of any shelter crisis, develop a plan to address the shelter crisis which shall include the development of homeless shelters and permanent supportive housing as well as onsite supportive services.
The implementation of Emergency Housing Sites within the City of Redding provides a resource to address the crisis of the unsheltered by creating housing facilities offering short‐term shelter bridging the gap to transitional or permanent housing. Considering Emergency Housing Sites Packet Pg. 214 Attachment: ^Shelter Crisis Action Plan (4.2(b)--Shelter Crisis Annual Report) will play an important role in addressing unsheltered needs within our community, staff developed the following Action Plan:

RE: City of Redding Shelter Crisis Declaration – Fourth Annual Status Report Pursuant to Government Code 8698.4(a)(6)
Dear Ms. Hughes and Mr. Haney,
On June 15, 2021, the City of Redding (City) declared a shelter crisis pursuant to Government Code 8698.4. This is the City’s fourth status report to the State of California Senate Committee on Housing and the Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development, as required by Government Code 8698.4(a)(6), outlining its progress in addressing its shelter crisis during the preceding Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) of October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025.
Data sources include the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), the NorCal Continuum of Care’s Point-in-Time (PIT) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC) and statistical data from local providers. In January 2024, the NorCal Continuum of Care conducted a Sheltered and HIC count only, meaning unsheltered persons not sleeping in areas suitable for human habitation were not counted. In January 2025, the NorCal Continuum of Care conducted a full Point in Time and HIC count, including both unsheltered and sheltered individuals.
Pursuant to Government Code 8698.4(a)(6), the following metrics must be reported by January 1st of each year.
i. The total number of residents in homeless shelters within the city, county, or city and county.
Packet Pg. 221 Attachment: Shelter Crisis Annual Report 2025 -Final (4.2(b)--Shelter Crisis Annual Report) The following table summarizes the number of persons unsheltered and sheltered within Shasta County. The table compares information as reported in 2024 and 2024 PIT Count.
As stated previously, the 2024 PIT count did not count unsheltered persons. ii. The total number of residents who have moved from a homeless shelter into permanent supportive housing within the city, county, or city and county. “Permanent supportive housing” (PSH) means housing for people who are homeless, with no limit on length of stay, and that is linked to onsite or offsite services that assist the supportive housing resident in retaining the housing, improving the person’s health status, and maximizing the person’s ability to live and, when possible, work in the community.
According to the 2024 and 2025 Shasta County HIC report and HMIS data, the following table summarizes those persons that moved from a homeless shelter into permanent supportive housing.
The number of sheltered persons increased from 2024 to 2025 as well as the number of persons exiting into permanent units. This data includes 19 from the HMIS system users, and 227 from non-HMIS users: Good News Rescue Mission (34) and New Life Discovery Program (193).
iii. The estimated number of permanent supportive housing units in the County.

v. The number of new homeless shelters built pursuant to this section within the city, county, or city and county.
No new homeless shelters have been built in Shasta County or the City of Redding. vi. New actions the City is taking under the declared shelter crisis to better serve the homeless population and to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness.
Since declaring a shelter crisis, the City has invested more than $6 million in a range of homelessness response efforts. These include Crisis Intervention Response Team operations; motel-based emergency shelter beds through Shasta Community Health Center, No Boundaries, Ready for Life, and Hill Country Community Clinic; the RABA/United Way partnership; case management for youth transitional housing and encampments; Pallet Shelter operations; and Emergency Housing Site infrastructure.
During the federal fiscal year, the City expended $430,441 in Encampment Resolution Funding to support eligible shelter-crisis activities, specifically emergency shelter operations and case management. These expenditures are reflected in the cumulative allocations below, covering funding commitments beginning in 2021:
• $1,004,126 from the State Permanent Local Housing Assistance Program (PLHA) for emergency shelter capital and operating costs
• $45,000 from the Affordable Housing Loan Fund (AHLF) for capital needs and Emergency Housing Site infrastructure
• $822,000 from Encampment Resolution Funding 2-L for Pallet Shelters, site infrastructure, Crisis Intervention Response Team operations, case management, and emergency shelter beds
• $1,630,481 from Encampment Resolution Funding 3-L for Crisis Intervention Response Team operations, case management, and emergency shelter beds Packet Pg. 223 Attachment: Shelter Crisis Annual Report 2025 -Final (4.2(b)--Shelter Crisis Annual Report) • $300,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for micro-shelter staffing and operations
• $200,000 from the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) for micro-shelter staffing and operations
• $2,195,000 from the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Program for micro-shelter operations; medical and non-medical street outreach; emergency shelters; HMIS data collection; and services for youth ages 18–24 If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Nicole Smith, Community Development Manager at [email protected].

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 19th Amendment to City of Redding (City) Budget Resolution No. 2025-049 decreasing appropriations for Fiscal Year 2026 by $11,060, and increasing appropriations for Fiscal Year 2027 by $11,060, all related to repurposing budgeted funds to cover the costs associated with SharePoint storage needs as part of the City-wide Microsoft 365 project; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to approve up to 20 additional terabytes of SharePoint storage, at $0.18 a gigabyte per month with a maximum cost of $43,200 annually.
Fiscal Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund with this action as funds are budgeted. Existing budgeted funds can be repurposed from the Capital Hardware account to cover the cost of the additional storage in year one and year two, totaling $18,432. The cost for year three will be incorporated into the 2027-2028 Budget Cycle. Additional storage will be purchased utilizing the Enterprise Agreement pricing established between Dell, the City of Redding (City), and Microsoft as part of the Microsoft 365 project.
SharePoint storage is billed at $0.18 per gigabyte (GB) per month. The Enterprise Agreement pricing is valid for three years, with annual true-ups as needed. The first year is prorated.
For 5,120 GB of storage over eight months, the prorated cost for year one is $7,372.80. The cost for years two and three, assuming the same amount of storage, is $11,059.20 per year.

Report to Redding City Council December 11, 2025
Re: 4.3(a)--Additional SharePoint Storage Page 2
Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to authorize the repurposing of funds, and provide alternate direction.
Background/Analysis
The Microsoft 365 project includes 11 terabytes (TB) of SharePoint storage, which is currently at 66 percent utilization. To ensure that City staff has the ability to access files, create and save files, staff must immediately purchase an additional 5 TB of SharePoint storage. This ensures sufficient capacity for departments to finalize their migrations and create new documents.
Sufficient SharePoint storage is vital to all City business, and without sufficient available storage work stoppage will impact all parts of the City.
Utilizing SharePoint increases the ability to collaborate, provides increased security, and efficiency to the City by providing cloud access to files, and modern document management tools along with increased data retention features.
The Microsoft 365 project is a Council-approved and budgeted Information Technology project.
Additional purchases with budgeted funds to address staffing needs on the Enterprise Agreement are authorized by Council. This staff report is provided to ensure transparency to the Council regarding project costs.
As more departments and staff leverage the collaboration and efficiency tools in SharePoint, the department via the City Manager will need authorization to approve additional storage to meet that demand in real time. Delays in being able to add space will result in work stoppages.
Authorizing the City Manager to approve up to 20 TB of additional storage will allow for continued and efficient use of the tool.
SharePoint is a new environment for the City, and the exact sizing requirements cannot be measured. Adoption of SharePoint is currently at 221 active users; one month prior it was 105 active users. We have 2,583,973 files currently in SharePoint. Considering that the adoption rate is growing, it is reasonable to expect that the files in the environment will also increase. While we are acclimating to SharePoint, it is imperative that we have sufficient storage, in a timely fashion to continue to allow users to leverage the platform in their work areas seamlessly.
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.”
• Communication & Transparency – “Improve the quality and quantity 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.”

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize staff to reduce the retention by five percent, thereby releasing $1,208,464.75 to Redding Airport Constructors, the contractor, for Bid Negotiation No. 5451 (Job No. 9944-33) Redding Airport Runway 16-34 and Taxiway Connectors Rehabilitation and MAGVAR Improvements Project.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the Redding Regional Airport Runway 16-34 and Taxiway Connectors Rehabilitation and MAGVAR Improvements Project (Project) as release of these retention funds will be used to pay subcontractors for work that was already completed.
Retention is withheld from progress payments on all Public Works construction projects for numerous reasons, most often to reserve for any claims that may arise from underpayment to the subcontractors and materials suppliers. The release of these retention funds will satisfy this condition. There have been no claims from subcontractors or materials suppliers on this project with sufficient funds remaining to complete the project.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to reduce the retention to Redding Airport Constructors (Contractor), and provide staff with alternate direction. Without this release, the City of Redding (City) would continue to withhold five percent retention on previous and forthcoming project progress payments until project completion which is currently unknown due to weather conditions being unfavorable to perform final runway striping and final grading. This would cause Redding Airport Constructors (Contractor) and its subcontractors, to continue carrying the burden of covering costs without compensation.

Background/Analysis
At its regular meeting on May 6, 2025, the Council awarded the construction contract for the project to the low bidder, Redding Airport Constructors, in the amount of $20,111,190 for the Base Bid and an additional $7,666,587 for Additive Alternate-1 for a total amount of $27,777,777. The contractor began work on June 13, 2025, and the work was nearly completed in November 2025.
As of the end of November 2025, the remaining work includes runway signage, taxiway reflectors, runway striping/markings and minor punch list items. As stated above, sufficient funds remain to complete the project. The contractor has requested, in the attached correspondence, a partial release of retention funds that would reduce monies withheld on all completed and partially accepted bid items as per the contract specification section 90-06 (a.1), “Contractor may request release of retainage on work that has been partially accepted by the Owner in accordance with section 50-14”. Additionally, Per Public Contract Code (PCC) section 9203, “at any time after 50 percent of the work has been completed, if the legislative body finds that satisfactory progress is being made, it may make any of the remaining progress payments in full for actual work completed.” As 95-percent of the contract has been completed, staff is requesting, in accordance with the Contract Documents and in accordance with the PCC to release retention on all partially accepted bid items of work withheld and be released to the contractor.
Environmental Review
On May 6, 2025, Council determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15301. Existing Facilities, Section 15302. Replacement or Reconstruction, and Section 15303. New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. No further action is required.

Packet Pg. 233 Attachment: May 6, 2025 Staff Report (4.11(a)--Retention Reduction Bid Neg. 5451 RDD Airport Runway 16-34, Taxiway and MAGVAR Report to Redding City Council April 30, 2025
Re: 9.11(c)--Award Bid RDD Runway 16-34 & Taxiway Connectors Rehabilitation & MAGVAR Improvements Page 2 Program at a rate of ninety-five percent with the remaining five percent City match funds coming from revenues generated by the RDD Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) program. On October 1, 2024 City Council (Council) authorized the City Manager to appropriate all grants funds received to the project - authorized funding includes
$29,938,491 in various FAA grant funds and $1,665,008 in City match funds for a total amount of $31,603,499.
Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to authorize award of the bid for the project and provide staff with alternate direction. If Council chooses not to award the project, the City would lose a fairlypriced bid from a local contractor; risk increasing project costs due to escalation in materials and labor pricing; and likely, if the project were to be rebid, it would delay critical runway improvements included in this project to late 2026 or even 2027. In addition, the City may potentially lose out on the FAA $30 million grant funding for the project by disrupting an established timeline in which final bids are needed in order to submit a grant application.
Background/Analysis
The City is responsible for maintaining runways, taxiways, and other paved surfaces at RDD in sufficient condition to meet federal regulations and airport certification requirements while facilitating safe use of the airport. The proposed project will extend the useful life of aeronautical infrastructure at RDD by rehabilitating the runway pavement; reconstructing taxiway connectors and blast-pads; replacing high intensity runway lighting (HIRL); addressing magnetic variance on Runway 16-34; and updating airfield signage to meet the latest FAA standards. This project is crucial for airfield operations as the most recent runway rehabilitation at RDD took place in 2001. Furthermore, replacement of HIRLs at RDD will increase the safety and efficiency of night-time and low-visibility operations.
The City Airports Division intended to originally complete the project in October of 2024 with grant funding anticipated in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2024. Ultimately, the FAA could not award an FFY 2024 grant for the requested amount at the time because of an FAA administrative error coupled with funding limitations resulting from the federal budget process including the repeated use of continuing resolutions which held in place previous funding levels. Due to the 2024, the City postponed the project into calendar
year 2025 with the intention of requesting an FFY 2025 grant from the FAA. At this time, funding is awaiting disbursement into the FAA system - the FAA San Francisco Airport District Office has indicated that this project is a top priority for FFY 2025.
Attached is a tabulation of bids opened on March 5, 2024. The low bid amount of $27,777,777, comprised of a Base Bid and Bid Alternative 1 of $20,111,190 and $7,666,587, respectively, was received from Redding Airport Constructors, a Joint Venture of J.F.

Re: 9.11(c)--Award Bid RDD Runway 16-34 & Taxiway Connectors Rehabilitation & MAGVAR Improvements Page 3 Redding, California, and DeSilva Gates Construction LLC of Dublin, California. The contractor has agreed to honor this bid so long as a notice to proceed is issued by June 5, 2025. The total of amount of $24,032,035. Total project development costs are estimated to be $1,573,336.
Project development costs include engineering, surveying, environmental, and consultant services.
The City has already selected Mead & Hunt Inc. for construction management and inspection (CM) services due to their expertise in airport construction and regulations per the consulting and professional services agreement (C-8976) executed on July 23, 2021 and attached to this report.
For AIP projects, the FAA requires the airport sponsors to competitively select from among qualified consultants for various categories of AIP-related work including construction management. As the selected qualified consultant, Mead & Hunt, Inc. has already been contracted for engineering design and construction management for other phases of the project including the Preliminary Design Concept Study, Design Phase 2, and Procurement. Under the existing consulting and professional services agreement (C-8976) a new Authorization of Service in an amount not to exceed $1,717,000 would be issued to Mead & Hunt, Inc. for construction management on the upcoming project phase.
The project includes the installation of storm drain pipe, cold milling the existing asphalt, repairing cracks after cold milling, paving multiple courses and grade transitions on runway shoulders, constructing runway grooving, constructing a blast pad, application of pavement markings, and installation of signage and runway lighting.
Project Risks
While the FAA continues to reassure staff that the project at RDD is the number one priority for funding at the district office and regional level, the FAA is unable to make any guarantees of funding prior to announcing grant awards. Based on the level of communications and reassurances made as to the priority of the project, staff is confident that this project will receive an award by July 2025.
In order to meet the target construction period in late September and early October, the City needs to award the project to RAC no later than June 6, 2025 - otherwise, the received bids may expire as RAC has agreed to hold the bids to this respective date. By awarding the project prior to June 6, 2025, the City will be awarding the project without receiving an FFY 2025 FAA AIP grant which staff anticipates receiving before July 2025.
Conversely, if the FAA does not award the FFY 2025 FAA AIP grant to the City, staff have conservatively identified approximately $2,000,000 in potential contract payments that could likely be due to the contractor in the event that the City is forced to terminate the contract as a result of not receiving the grant. Some of the potential contract payments likely due to the contractor would be eligible for reimbursement by the FAA through grants already issued, RDD FAA entitlement funds or, potentially, RDD passenger fare charge (PFC) funds in the amount of approximately $3.6 million.
As a side note, the reimbursement eligibility of any contract payments is dependent on the completion of measurable units of work - as decided by the FAA. Funding for any potential required contract payments determined by the FAA to be ineligible for reimbursement would

Re: 9.11(c)--Award Bid RDD Runway 16-34 & Taxiway Connectors Rehabilitation & MAGVAR Improvements Page 4 need to be provided by other funding sources within the City. In the unlikely event of contract termination, staff will present to Council the amounts owed to the contractor with the recommended sources of funding as described above. Additionally, any RDD FAA entitlement or RDD PFC funding utilized for reimbursement in the event of contract termination will likely create a funding need for the project in the future.
Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15301. Existing Facilities, Section 15302. Replacement or Reconstruction, and Section 15303. New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Class 1 exemptions include the minor alteration of existing public structures and facilities. Class 2 exemptions consists of replacement or reconstruction where the new structure will be located on the same site and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity. Class 3 exemptions consist of construction and location of new small facilities and equipment, or conversion of existing structures. The existing airport facilities will be rehabilitated and improved to better serve the public. The project will be located within the existing airport facility and the project will result in a negligible expansion of use, as the project does not increase airport capacity. The action area has been reviewed and it does not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other environmental resources. The project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
On February 21, 2024 the FAA determined that the project is categorically excluded from environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act, pursuant to FAA Order 1050.1F

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the final map for Salt Creek Heights Subdivision, Unit 5 (S-15-07/PD-11-07), thereby instructing the City Clerk to file the map with the Shasta County Recorder.
Fiscal Impact
There will be cumulative impacts to the City of Redding’s (City) Public Works Department due to the increase in public street infrastructure requiring annual maintenance, especially the asphalt pavement. The project will generate an incremental increase in State of California gas-tax funds based on population and point-of-origin sales; however, the increase in these revenues falls short of the anticipated annualized maintenance cost.
In addition, there will be an incremental increase in the City’s utility costs due to the additional infrastructure. Generally, except for the Storm Drain Utility, sufficient revenue is generated by monthly use charges to offset any increase in annual maintenance costs. The Storm Drain Utility is pressed with increasing requirements that current rates do not cover.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the final map. This option requires a finding that the subdivision is not developed in accordance with the conditions of the approved tentative map or in conformance with the State Subdivision Map Act.
Background/Analysis
On June 3, 2010, the Salt Creek Heights Subdivision (S-15-07/PD-11-07) was approved by the Planning Commission. Attached is a map showing the subdivision, which is located west of Buenaventura Boulevard and north of Eureka Way.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions relative to Bid Schedule No. 5661 - Street Striping and Pavement Marking Services Contract:
(1) Award to Darren Taylor Construction, Inc., in the amount of $223,100; (2) Find that the action is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities; and
(3) Authorize the Purchasing Officer to extend the contract, if mutually agreeable, with all prices, terms, and conditions remaining the same, for two additional one-year periods.
Fiscal Impact
Approximately $245,000 of Streets maintenance funds have been budgeted for street striping contracts during Fiscal Year 2025-26. This expense is Gas Tax eligible and thus awarding this contract will have no General Fund impact.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award the bid for the Streets Striping and Pavement Services Contract (Contract) and direct the Streets Division maintenance crews to continue repairing/refreshing striping and pavement markings when workload allows.
Background/Analysis
The City of Redding (City) has faded, worn or missing pavement striping and markings in various locations in the community, particularly on heavily traveled or older roadways. The Streets Division crews repair/refresh highly prioritized sections as time allows with the limited equipment on hand but cannot manage the workload with current staffing. Other defect locations brought to the City’s attention or identified by Streets staff are consolidated into various public works capital roadway projects and put out to public bid as time, budget and relative location allows.

Report to Redding City Council December 9, 2025
Re: 4.11(c)--Award Bid Schedule 5661 - Street Striping Services Contract Page 2 The Streets department has issued an annual contract for pavement striping and markings continuously for approximately the last 16 years. Due to rising costs of labor and material, this is the second consecutive year that the contract amount has exceeded $200,000 and staff anticipates that this contract will continue to exceed $200,000 in the years to come thus requiring Council award. The proposed term of the contract is for one year with an option to renew for two additional one-year periods, if mutually agreeable with all prices, terms and conditions remaining the same.
The City directly solicited six contractors, along with distributing the solicitation announcement to three north state builders’ exchanges, in addition to posting the bid on the City’s website and advertising in the Record Searchlight. At the time of the bid opening on December 1, 2025, at 3 p.m., no bids were received by the City Clerk’s Office. On December 2, 2025, Darren Taylor Construction, Inc. contacted the Purchasing Division inquiring about the results of the bid opening. After informing them no bids were received by the City Clerk, the contractor informed staff their bid was dropped off and taken by an individual in the lobby of City Hall prior to the bid opening.
The bid is deemed non-responsive due to not being received by the City Clerk prior to due date and time. Since no other bids were received, the California Public Contract Code allows agencies to negotiate a contract. In discussion with Darren Taylor Construction, Inc., they and staff have agreed to negotiate a contract for their rejected bid amount of $223,100. Staff believes that it is in the best interest of the City, that the Council should award the negotiated contract to Darren Taylor Construction Inc., of Redding, California for the amount of $223,100.
Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project qualifies as categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15301 - Existing Facilities. Class 1 exemptions include operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing facilities, structures, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use. The pavement striping and marking services will be conducted within the existing right of way and will support Streets effort to maintain and replace pavement striping for public safety. The work will occur in previously paved areas and will result in no expansion of use. The project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution, effective December 21, 2025, to: (1) amend the unrepresented Non-Exempt City of Redding (City) Employee Schedule of Classifications and Hourly Wage Rates; and (2) amend the Non-Exempt City Employee Schedule of Classifications and Hourly Wage Rates for the Redding Independent Employees Association – Clerical, Technical and Professional Unit (RIEO – CTP), to increase salaries for positions impacted by the 2026 California Minimum Wage increase.
Fiscal Impact
As a result of the California minimum wage increase, there will be an increase of $35,200 in wages and $4,700 in benefits of for a total increased cost of $39,900 per year. While all of the impacted positions are part of the General Fund, a portion of the positions are part of the City of Redding’s (City) Recreation Division. Those positions receive program revenues to offset most of these costs. The cost of the recreation positions including wages and benefits is $32,200 per year. The remaining $7,700 per year of costs are associated with other positions that are funded by the General Fund.
Alternative Action
The City Council could elect not to approve the resolution amending the salary schedules. This is not recommended as amendments are needed to bring wages up to the 2026 California Minimum Wage.

Re: 4.15(a)--Minimum Wage Changes 2026 Page 2
Background/Analysis
As of January 1, 2026, the California minimum wage will increase to $16.90 per hour. Staff completed a comprehensive review of all City salary schedules in order to identify classifications which will fall below the state minimum wage in January. The recommended adjustments will increase wages by approximately 2.4 percent to ensure starting salaries for all City positions are at or above the California minimum wage. The impacted positions include:
Position Salary Schedule
Mail Courier RIEO - CTP
On-Call/Seasonal Firefighter Unrepresented Part- Time
Police Cadet Unrepresented Part- Time
Recreation Leader Unrepresented Part-Time
Recreation Specialist Unrepresented Part-Time
Student Aid RIEO - CTP
Technical Intern RIEO - CTP
In addition to the positions which are directly impacted staff recommends additional salary adjustments for related positions within the Recreation department in order to maintain appropriate compression rates and salary structure within the department. These positions include Recreation Coordinator I/II, Recreation Crew Leader, Recreation Crew Supervisor, and Recreation Instructor I/II.
The recommended adjustments will ensure City compliance with the California Minimum Wage and maintain proper salary structure within the Recreation department.

Report to Redding City Council December 11, 2025
Re: 9.15(b)--Resolution-Exception to CalPERS 180-day Wait Period - David Mann Page 2 applications, which would likely occur if the 180-day wait period were not bypassed. Under Government Code section 21224, the City can utilize Mr. Mann’s expertise and knowledge to assist with training of replacement staff, completion of moving applications from the IBM iSeries environment to Oracle and/or other systems, along with decommissioning the IBM computer platform, which includes the 2025 end-of-year close out of payroll and financial processing.
As proposed, Mr. Mann’s title will be Information Technology Supervisor during his employment as a retired annuitant. Although Mr. Mann will have the title of Information Technology Supervisor, as a retired annuitant, his primary duties will be specific to assisting with training of replacement staff, completion of moving applications from the IBM iSeries environment to Oracle and/or other systems, and decommissioning the IBM computer platform, which includes the 2025 end-of-year close out of payroll and financial processing.
