Subject Customer Program Portfolio – Program and Budget Evaluation From Long-Term Resources
To Joe Bowers, Assistant Director - Resources
Date April 21, 2026
Summary
The Long-Term Resources team regularly evaluates the Customer Programs Portfolio (CPP) to ensure program offerings remain cost-effective. This evaluation also reviewed the associated program budgets to ensure they aligned with spending requirements for Public Benefits (PB), Cap-and-Invest Greenhouse Gas (GHG), and Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFS). The primary objectives of the analysis included:
• Identifying electrification measures by conducting cost-effectiveness tests • Adding, removing, or adjusting program offerings based on cost-effectiveness, participation levels, or funding availability
• Aligning programs to the most appropriate funding sources based on the program evaluations • Evaluating and proposing updated budgets for PB, GHG, and LCFS funds Based on the analysis, staff developed recommendations to update the CPP and associated budgets through the following activities:
• Residential Electrification Rebate Program
o Terminate the Heat Pump Clothes Dryer program due to poor equipment performance and low participation
o Add Heat Pump HVAC Systems due to cost-effectiveness
• Commercial Electrification Rebate Program
o Terminate the DCFC Station and Demand Credit Programs due to low participation • Single Family New Construction Electrification Program o Terminate the New Construction Program due to changes to the Energy Code The CPP analysis, budget evaluation, and next steps are detailed below.

Building Electrification Programs
REU currently offers multiple incentive programs to support electrification. Current program offerings include the following:
• Residential Electrification Program
o Heat Pump Water Heater - $1,000
o Heat Pump Clothes Dryer (terminated in FY26) - $200
• Commercial Electrification Rebates
o Heat Pump Water Heater - $1,000
• Single Family New Construction Electrification Rebates o Heat Pump Package (HVAC and Water Heaters) - $1,800
These programs are reviewed annually to evaluate both existing and proposed new measures to ensure cost-effective offerings. As documented in the 2021 Demand-Side Management Integrated Resource Plan Packet Pg. 701 Attachment: FY27 Customer Program Portfolio Update - 04.29.26 (4.5(b)--Approve Redding Electric Utility's Recommended FY27 Customer

(DSM-IRP), REU uses the Ratepayer Impact Test (RIM) and Participant Cost Test (PCT) to evaluate costeffectiveness for measures (appliances). Measures are deemed cost-effective and promote downward rate pressure if they meet the following criteria:
• Does not pass program costs to non-participants (positive RIM) • Saves participating customers money for upgrading equipment (positive PCT) Assumptions
Over 150 building electrification (BE) measures were selected from the POU Electronic Technical Reference Manual (eTRM) and processed in the ESP Reporting Platform tool to calculate the RIM and PCT components based on individual measure specifications and end-uses. Technologies evaluated include heat pump (HP) water heaters (WH), HP clothes dryers, HP space heating/cooling (HVAC), and induction cooking.

Administrative Costs
For simplicity, administrative costs were distributed evenly across each measure. In reality, the actual admin costs will depend on the number of participants. The costs were limited to the Neighborly Software licenses (about $9,000 per year) and do not include labor.

Other Incentives
The Customer Program evaluation assumes that customers can access and participate in existing State1 programs. This helps increase savings for participating customers without affecting the RIM. If customers rely solely on REU incentives to switch to appliances, only cooking, HPWH, and some commercial HVAC measures were deemed cost-effective.

PG&E and other IOUs offered an incentive of up to $4,500 for single-family, all-electric fuel substitution projects through the California Energy Smart Homes2 program. This incentive applies to qualifying end uses such as HP clothes dryers, HPWH, HP HVAC systems, and induction cooktops or ranges.

Results
Preliminary results show that HPWH and HP HVAC are cost-effective, while HP clothes dryers and induction cooking are not cost-effective. The table below reflects the proposed rebate amounts, the utility savings (RIM), participant savings (PCT), average GHG savings, and return on investment (ROI) for the life of each end-use.

Average $38 $600 $4,232 $2,071 16.72 4.1
Based on the analysis, staff recommends adding Commercial and Residential HP HVAC incentives to the BE Program. This end-use measure has been the number one request by customers since the BE programs first launched in 2022, and staff expect high participation once applications open.

Due to poor equipment performance and low participation (1 application paid since 2022), REU has discontinued the Residential HP Clothes Dryer program, effective FY26.

Single Family New Construction Electrification Program
The Single-Family New Construction Electrification Program provides incentives for installing heat pump space and water heating equipment in new construction homes. At the time the program was developed, the 2022 Energy Code required electric-ready homes, but did not require the equipment to be installed.

Effective January 1, 2026, the 2025 Energy Code was updated to use heat pumps as the baseline equipment for space and water heating in single family new construction homes. As a matter of practicality, REU does not incentivize code requirements. Therefore, Resources recommends eliminating this incentive due to the upgraded Energy Code.

Transportation Electrification Program Updates
Funding
REU’s Transportation Electrification (TE) programs are primarily funded through Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credit revenues, with limited remaining Greenhouse Gas (GHG) funds supporting certain legacy programs. LCFS revenues were initially expected to support a broader suite of TE programs; however, credit prices have declined significantly from prior forecasts, reducing available funding. As a result, program offerings must be more targeted to ensure funds are directed toward measures with demonstrated participation and customer benefit.

Current Program Offerings
REU currently offers several programs to support transportation electrification, with a focus on customer adoption of electric vehicles and e-mobility options. Current program offerings include the following:
• Public DC Fast Charging Rebate – Provides incentives for the installation of public fast charging
Packet Pg. 703 Attachment: FY27 Customer Program Portfolio Update - 04.29.26 (4.5(b)--Approve Redding Electric Utility's Recommended FY27 Customer

RECOMMENDATION

Page 4 of 6 ends

• Public Charging Demand Credit – Offsets demand charges for City-owned public charging (GHG funding suspended)
• Income Qualified E-Bike Voucher – up to $1,150 (includes helmet and lock) • Income Qualified Electric Vehicle (EV) Voucher – $3,000 Results
Participation across TE programs has varied significantly. The EV and E-Bike Voucher programs have consistently demonstrated the highest participation and provide direct, tangible benefits to customers.

These programs are well-aligned with customer demand and represent the most effective use of available TE funding.

In contrast, the Commercial DC Fast Charging (DCFC) Station and Demand Charge Credit Programs have seen very limited participation, with only one completed application since program launch. The lack of uptake is primarily driven by high installation costs, ongoing demand charge exposure, and limited financial benefit to participants relative to total project costs.

Additionally, evolving building code requirements are beginning to address certain charging infrastructure needs, further reducing the need for utility-funded incentives in some applications.

Recommendations
Based on program performance and funding availability, staff recommend the following updatesto the TE program portfolio:
• Maintain the EV and E-Bike Voucher programs due to strong participation and direct customer benefit
• Discontinue the Commercial DCFC Station and Demand Charge Credit Programs due to low participation and cost barriers
• Continue evaluating options to support public charging infrastructure through alternative funding sources, including Public Benefits funds
This approach focuses available resources on high-performing programs while maintaining flexibility to adjust program offerings as market conditions, funding availability, and customer needs evolve.

Residential Electrification Assistance Program (REAP)
REAP is an electrification-focused direct install program funded by REU and administered by the Self-Help Home Improvement Project (SHHIP). The program helps income-qualified customers upgrade their homes by replacing gas appliances with new electric appliances. Participating customers are also eligible for REU’s Residential Energy Discount (RED) Program and are automatically enrolled if they are not already receiving the discount. In addition to REAP, SHHIP administers several state and federal programs, helping customers combine benefits across programs to maximize available support.

The program has been effective at reaching customers who would not otherwise be able to pursue these types of upgrades on their own. By providing a turnkey approach—equipment, installation, and coordination with other available programs—REAP reduces complexity for the customer and makes Packet Pg. 704 Attachment: FY27 Customer Program Portfolio Update - 04.29.26 (4.5(b)--Approve Redding Electric Utility's Recommended FY27 Customer

RECOMMENDATION

Page 5 of 6 ends

participation more accessible. Through SHHIP, customers are often able to layer in state and federal incentives, which increases the overall benefit without adding cost to REU.

Participation has been steady, with 35 customers enrolled to date, including 26 completed projects and 9 currently in progress. Feedback from SHHIP and customers has been positive, and the program has seen consistent engagement relative to other low-income offerings.

REU staff continues to coordinate with SHHIP as equipment costs and program demands evolve. No changes are proposed at this time. The current contract expires in 2027 and includes two extension options. Staff will reevaluate the program in FY27 to determine whether to extend or adjust based on performance and customer needs.

Customer Program Portfolio Budget Updates
Based on the analysis and updated programs, staff recommend reallocating funding to better align programs with funding sources. The proposed budget for all Customer Programs is listed on the table below. The proposed budget allocations result in a reduction of $175,000 in FY27 and $149,250 in FY28.

These funds will remain in the Public Benefits account and be available for other eligible programs.

and focused on what our customers are actually using and benefiting from. Staff prioritized measures that deliver real savings and value, while stepping away from programs that are no longer performing or have been overtaken by code requirements. This approach helps ensure limited funding is directed where it has the most impact, supports long-term affordability, and keeps the program portfolio aligned with REU’s broader reliability and compliance goals.

Recommendation
In summary, Resources staff recommend the City Council approve the following actionsto update the CPP at the May 5th meeting:
• Residential Electrification Rebate Program
o Terminate the Heat Pump Clothes Dryer program due to poor equipment performance and low participation
o Add Heat Pump HVAC Systems due to cost-effectiveness
• Commercial Electrification Rebate Program

SUBJECT: 4.6(a)--Approve Second Amendment with Peerless Building Maintenance, Inc., for Janitorial Services to increase contract by $70,967.68 to Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Travis Menne, Director of
Community Services/Airports
Packet Pg. 707
Report to Redding City Council April 30, 2026
Re: 4.6(a)--Second Amendment with Peerless Building Maintenance Inc. Page 2

1. Annual Adjustment
The proposed Second Amendment increases the annual contract amount by $70,967.68 for a total not to exceed amount of $435,919.84 in FY 2026-27. This increase reflects additional service requests from various City departments and the consolidation of janitorial services for the Police Department into the Contract. The breakdown and fiscal impact are as follows:

Police Department
The Police Department currently maintains a separate purchase order with Peerless for janitorial services, which expires on June 30, 2026. Funding for these services is included in the Building Maintenance budget for FYs 2025-26 and 2026-27, after it was added during the budget process.

The Second Amendment incorporates these services into the Contract, resulting in an increase of $5,575.64 per month, or $66,907.68 annually. There is no impact to the General Fund because these costs were included in the Building Maintenance budget for FY 26-27.

Redding Electric Utility (REU) – Trailer
REU has requested janitorial services for a trailer located at the Redding Power Plant. This request increases the monthly service cost by $130.00 or $1,560.00 annually. This additional service will be fully funded by REU and will begin upon execution of the amendment. For FY 2025-26, the cost impact will reflect the addition of $130.00 per month for the remainder of the FY. In FY 2026-27, the ongoing annual increase of $1,560.00 will be absorbed within REU’s budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.

2. Setting an hourly rate for additional work
To allow for flexibility and to prepare for unexpected situations were cleaning is necessary but outside of regular contracted duties, staff negotiated an hourly rate of $40.00 per hour to add to the Contract. These services are not-to-exceed $2,500 annually. The department requesting for service is responsible for paying for the service. Building Maintenance as the contract administrator will arrange for services, but will not be the responsible party to pay for services.

3. One Time Cost Adjustment (FY 2025-26)
Several divisions have requested additional janitorial services resulting in the following one-time adjustments:

Description One-Time Amount Funding Source
Redding Power Plant $880.00 REU (Enterprise Fund)
REU – Avtech Parkway $425.00 REU (Enterprise Fund)

Packet Pg. 708
Report to Redding City Council April 30, 2026
Re: 4.6(a)--Second Amendment with Peerless Building Maintenance Inc. Page 3 FY 2025-26 Total Impact
For FY 2025-26, the contract amount increases from $364,952.16 to $367,129.16. This reflects:
• $1,1917.00 in one-time costs; and
• $260.00 for two months of trailer service ($130.00/month).

FY 2026-27 Total Impact
For FY 2026-27, the contract amount increases from $364,952.16 to $435,919.84. This reflects:
• Police Department services, $66,907.68 annual increase (included in FY26-27 budget); • REU Power Plant Trailer, $1,560.00 annual increase; and • Hourly rate, with a total not to exceed cost of $2,500.00 for special services.

There is no impact to the General Fund with these changes.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to accept the Second Amendment with Peerless, and the accompanying budget increase, and instead, provide staff with an alternate direction.

Background/Analysis
In May 2025, the Council authorized and approved the award of Request for Proposal (RFP) Schedule No. 5589 for janitorial services at City facilities to Peerless. The Council also authorized the City Manager, or designee, to execute a Consulting and Professional Services Contract with Peerless for an amount not to exceed $694,096.32. The contract was fully executed on June 5, 2025.

In November 2025, the Council approved the First Amendment to the agreement due to changes in facility square footage and service level adjustments requested by various divisions. Both City staff and the vendor remeasured the facilities and identified an increase in square footage resulting from recent construction that was not captured during the original RFP scoping phase.

Additionally, two departments requested an increase in service frequency from one day per week to two days per week.

The Second Amendment provides additional service modifications that were requested by various divisions, including adjustments to cleaning schedules and task frequency at select facilities. In response, Peerless conducted a review of these changes and updated its pricing to align with the revised service requirements. The amendment also includes an hourly rate for special services that each division requesting would be responsible for and incorporates the Police Department services within the Contract.

The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved the proposed language of the agreement.

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

Council Priority/City Manager Goals

Re: 4.6(a)‐‐Award RFP Schedule 5589 Page 2

Background/Analysis
On April 1, 2025, a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 5589, outlining the scope of work for janitorial services at various City facilities, including City Hall, Avtech, Corporation Yard, the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center, water treatment plants, and other locations further described in the RFP and contract. Proposals submitted included a scope of work and a proposed fee. An on-site inspection was also provided on April 17, 2025, to provide context of the work required for this bid. On April 30, 2025, proposals and fee schedules were received and reviewed from five firms, listed as follows:
• Siskiyou Opportunity Center;
• Mack Janitorial and Maintenance;
• Vested Solutions;
• Maui Bob’s; and
• Peerless Building Maintenance, Inc.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the First Amendment with Peerless Building Maintenance Inc. Contract (C-10844) for janitorial services, and increase the contract amount from $347,048.16 to $364,952.16 ($17,904 annually) for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027;
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to approve any further amendments up to $35,000 annually;
(3) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 17th Amendment to Budget Resolution No. 2025-049 appropriating an annual increase of $17,900 for janitorial services for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027; and
(4) Find that amending an agreement is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

Fiscal Impact
As background, the Consulting and Professional Services Contract C-10844 (Contract) for janitorial services with Peerless Building Maintenance, Inc. (Peerless) in the City of Redding (City) is managed by the Community Services Department’s Building Maintenance Division and the contract is funded by various City departments that require janitorial services. The current contract amount is $347,048.16, which totals $694,096.32 for the full two-year term. The subject First Amendment increases the contract to $364,952.16, resulting in a total of $729,904.32 for the two-year term.

The annual increase of $17,904 equates to a total contract increase of $35,808 and is primarily due to an error provided to all bidders regarding the square footage of some City facilities.

Increase per each City Division is represented below:

Total $1,492.00 $17,904.00
The pricing for the contract is fixed for the first two years but may be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index upon the expiration of the initial term - June 30, 2027. There is no General Fund impact as the annual costs increases to the contract are funded by the associated Enterprise Fund Departments.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to accept the First Amendment with Peerless, and the accompanying budget increase, and instead, provide staff with an alternate direction.

Due to a change in square footage and requests for adjustments in services from various divisions, Peerless has revised its pricing structure to better reflect the services that will be provided. Both the City staff and the vendor remeasured the facilities being served and discovered an increase in square footage due to recent construction that was not captured in the scoping phase for the RFP. The remaining increase was due to two departments requesting an increase in service from one day per week to two days per week.

The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved the proposed language of the agreement.

Report to Redding City Council April 28, 2026
Re: 4.11(a)-Award BS 5681 Country Oaks Water Main Replacement Project Page 2 Project cost components are estimates and allowable shifting of the project development, construction, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award the bid for the project and provide staff with alternate direction. If the project is not awarded, the existing aging water system will remain in service, increasing the likelihood of continued pipe leaks and potential main breaks. These ongoing issues can result in service disruptions, higher maintenance costs, and an increased risk of damage to surrounding infrastructure and property.

Background/Analysis
Attached is a tabulation of bids for the project received and opened on April 9, 2026. The low bid in the amount of $2,747,792 was received from Allen Gill Construction, Inc. of Palo Cedro, California. The engineer’s estimate was $3,403,800. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $200,000. Project development costs include engineering, surveying, right-of-way, environmental, and consultant services.

The project will install approximately 9,000 feet of new 8-inch water main with new connections at all intersections. In addition, all existing water services and fire hydrants will be replaced along with a storm drain arch pipe.

It is anticipated that the project will be completed late Fall 2026.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. Class 1 exemptions include minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use. The existing water mains and storm drain systems will be replaced, and the project will not result in expansion of use. The action area does not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other environmental resources and the project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

Project cost components are estimates and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.

Alternative Action
City Council may choose not to award the bid for the project and provide staff with alternate direction. Without this project, there will not be sufficient time for the sludge material to dry out over the summer months to allow it to be hauled away and provide additional storage space within the existing ponds for continuing treatment plant operations.

Background/Analysis
This project entails moving approximately 50,000 cubic yards of sludge from Pond 5A to Pond

2. The sludge will dry in Pond 2 over the summer which will ultimately allow it to be disposed of offsite with a future project.

Attached is a tabulation of bids received and opened on April 14, 2026, for the project. The low bid in the amount of $335,006.72 was received from Synagro – WWT, Inc., of Baltimore, Maryland. The engineer's estimate was $200,000. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $12,500. Project development costs include engineering, surveying, right-of-way, environmental, and consultant services for the project.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Sections 15301 - Existing Facilities. Class 1 exemptions include the minor alteration of existing public and private facilities, equipment, and topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use.

The sludge will be pumped from one pond to another to facilitate the drying process, and the activity will not result in an expansion of use. The action area does not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other environmental resources and the project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions relative to the City of Redding Tarmac Road Storm Drain Emergency Replacement Project (Project):
(1) Accept update regarding the Project; and
(2) Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050(c)(1), make a determination by a fourfifths vote that there is a need to continue the emergency work.

Fiscal Impact
The Tarmac Road Storm Drain Emergency Replacement Project (Project) is being funded by a Wastewater loan to the Storm Drain Utility. The current total project cost is estimated to be $4,150,000.

The City of Redding (City) received notification from the State on March 10, 2026, that the Governor declared emergency for the 2025 Late December Storm (CDAA 2026-02) is eligible for California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) funding, making this Project eligible for funding.

If the CDAA funding is approved, then 75 percent of the project cost may be reimbursed to the City by the State. The remaining City cost share of 25 percent would still be loaned to the Storm Drain utility by Wastewater.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to accept the project update and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
On April 7, 2026, Council adopted an emergency resolution for the project and authorized the negotiation of emergency contracts. The project proposes to replace the failed existing 20-foot by MEETING DATE: May 5, 2026

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions relative to the City of Redding Tarmac Road Storm Drain Emergency Replacement Project (Project):
(1) Adopt Resolution, by not less than four-fifths affirmative vote, to declare an emergency and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to negotiate an emergency public works contract for the project in an amount not-to-exceed $3,500,000; (2) Authorize construction contingency amount up to a total of $300,000; (3) Approve $50,000 to cover costs for project development; (4) Approve $300,000 to cover costs for construction management and inspection fees; (5) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 33rd Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2025-049 appropriating $4,150,000 for said purpose; and (6) Find that the Project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15269(b) – Emergency Projects.

Fiscal Impact
There have been approximately $55,000 in initial expenses for the project to date for emergency protective measures and engineering. However, due to further inspection, engineering and revised costs estimates the Storm Drain utility does not have sufficient funds to budget for this Project. Therefore, the attached budget resolution is for the Wastewater Utility to provide a loan that will be paid annually, every June 30th and will be amortized annually over a 20-year term at the average pooled cash rate calculated at the time of payment.

Report to Redding City Council April 2, 2026
Re: 9.11(g)--Declare Emergency for the Tarmac Rd Storm Drain Emergency Replacement Project Page 2
The City received notification from the State on March 10, 2026, that the Governor declared emergency for the 2025 Late December Storm (CDAA 2026-02) is eligible for California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) funding, making this Project eligible for funding. If the CDAA funding is approved, then 75 percent of the project cost may be reimbursed to the City of Redding (City) by the State. The remaining City cost share of 25 percent would still be loaned to the Storm Drain utility by Wastewater according to the terms above.

The following table provides a summary of the estimated costs for the project:

4Updated contract amount to include adequate resources to complete the required emergency repairs Project cost components are estimates and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to adopt the emergency resolution and direct staff to proceed with repairs through the regular Public Contract Code process or provide alternate direction. These processes carry the risk of being too untimely if the City is to immediately protect the public health and safety by restoration of public services and facilities.

If an alternative action is approved staff requests that the budget resolution be adopted to proceed with the Project.

Background/Analysis
On December 21, 2025, a meteorological event known as a convergence line appeared over the City and outlying areas which released an enormous quantity of water consistent with what is calculated to be a once in every 50-year storm. On December 22, 2025, Interim City Manager Kari Kibler, in her role as the Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed that a local emergency existed throughout the City of Redding. Consistent with State law, Redding Municipal Code and City policies, Council held a special meeting on December 26, 2025, to confirm and ratify the Director of Emergency Services’ Proclamation.

Report to Redding City Council April 2, 2026
Re: 9.11(g)--Declare Emergency for the Tarmac Rd Storm Drain Emergency Replacement Project Page 3
On or about December 21, 2025, City crews observed significant failure of a 20-foot by 6-foot natural bottom arch culvert and roadway embankment along Tarmac Road potentially jeopardizing the entire embankment and access for Autumn Glenn Subdivision. Tarmac Road serves approximately 50 residences and is the sole access point other than a narrow emergency access easement on private property. Attached are pictures of the failure and interim protective measures described below.

Staff has contracted with J.F. Shea Construction Inc. for the construction of protective measures and potentially repair. J.F. Shea, a local contractor, was selected based on their technical knowledge, resource availability, and previous performance on emergency projects of similar size and scope. The contract is to provide temporary emergency protective measures including but not limited to slope grading, culvert inlet stabilization, placement of rock slope protection and plastic sheathing to prevent further slope erosion and destabilization of the fill slope supporting Tarmac Road. Construction activities started on December 30, 2025, and the work was completed on December 31, 2025, prior to additional forecasted atmospheric storm events for New Year’s Weekend. Approximately $25,000 have been spent to date. The contractor and the City have continued to monitor the temporary work to assure any additional protective measure are implemented as required. In addition, already having an executed contract with J.F.

Shea will significantly increase their ability to mobilize immediately instead of waiting to secure bonds, insurance and execute contracts.

City engineering staff in cooperation with the Storm Drain utility, contractor, and vendors have been assessing the condition of the arch culvert and roadway. Visual inspections have revealed significant scour erosion of the natural bottom of arch culvert footings throughout and failure of the footing close to the midpoint of the culvert. The embankment slope continues to slough and cracks along the eastbound shoulder and sidewalk are continuing to slowly increase. Staff evaluated a solution to salvage the existing culvert, however due to the extensive scour and damage to the culvert and loss of embankment it was determined that full replacement of the arch culvert with a concrete box culvert was the best solution. Replacement would allow for the roadway embankment to be reconstructed and the box culvert would provide hazard mitigation of future failure due to the concrete bottom of the new culvert. The project will also include concrete headwalls to protect the inlet of the culvert which was a primary cause of failure.

The Resolution seeks authorization to declare an emergency 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. 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 safety by restoring public facilities. If the replacement is not completed prior to fall, 2026 rain season, then there is a potential for catastrophic failure of the culvert and roadway. Failure of the culvert and roadway would be a public access and safety crisis for the Autumn Glenn Subdivision.

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. 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.

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

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15269 – Emergency Project. The CEQA Section 15269 exemption includes emergency repairs to maintain, repair, restore, demolish, or replace property or facilities damaged or destroyed as a result of a disaster in a disaster-stricken area in which a state of emergency has been proclaimed by the Governor. The 2025 Late December Storms caused significant damage to land, structures, and critical infrastructure in Shasta County, and the California Governor signed a State of Emergency Proclamation for the 2025 Late December Storms on December 24, 2025.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution to confirm and ratify the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services declaring a local emergency.

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 December 21, 2025, a storm event arrived in the City of Redding, ultimately causing conditions 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 resulting in localized flooding, water rescues, and damage to roadways, storm water systems, and other infrastructure. The current forecast calls for continued storms and rainfall which could further exacerbate flooding and increase the difficulty of recovery efforts.

Report to Redding City Council December 24, 2025
Re: 2.1--Adopt Resolution to Confirm and Ratify the Proclamation Declaring a Local Emergency Page 2
Due to these events and weather conditions, a local emergency was proclaimed on December 22, 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 her capacity as Director of Emergency Services under Redding Municipal Code (RMC) section 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.

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

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions relative to the Right-of-Way Grants from the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management for a portion of Buenaventura Boulevard and for secondary access to the proposed Peaks Subdivision:
(1) Approve and authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute the Right-ofWay Grants; and (2) Find that this action is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities.

Fiscal Impact
Execution of the Right-of-Way Grants will have no fiscal impact to the City of Redding (City).

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the Right-of-Way Grants and provide alternate direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
On October 5, 1993, the City was issued a right-of-way grant from the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to construct, operate and maintain a portion of Buenaventura Boulevard on public lands. This portion of Buenaventura Boulevard was constructed for the development of the Land Park and Stanford Hills subdivisions. This grant expired on December 31, 2023. Staff is working with the BLM to renew the grant which is serialized as CACA 10621936. After execution by the City and BLM this grant will extend Right-of-way authorization until December 31, 2055.

Report to Redding City Council April 30, 2026
Re: 4.11(d)--Approve Bureau of Land Management Right-of-Way Grants Page 2 On June 8, 2004, the City was issued an additional right-of-way grant from the BLM to construct, operate and maintain an access road from Buenaventura Boulevard to a potential development which is now the site of the proposed Peaks Subdivision. No road improvements were constructed but this alignment may now serve as secondary access to the Peaks Subdivision. This grant expired on May 13, 2024. Staff is working with the BLM to renew the grant which is serialized as CACA 106211551. After execution by the City and BLM this grant will extend Right-of-way authorization through December 31, 2056.

The Right-of-Way grants have been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the action and determined that this action is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15301 - Existing Facilities. Class 1 exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, or licensing of existing public and private facilities, equipment, and topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use. The existing right of way grants will be renewed and the activity will not result in an expansion of use. The action area has been reviewed and does not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other environmental resources. The action has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions relative to Request for Proposals Schedule No. 5666, Construction Management and Inspection Services for the City of Redding Westside Road Bridge over Canyon Hollow Creek Replacement Project:
(1) Award to Webster Engineering, Inc.;
(2) Authorize the Mayor to execute a Consulting and Professional Services Contract for a not-to-exceed fee of $1,064,870.00 with Webster Engineering, Inc., to provide Construction Management and Inspection Services;
(3) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to approve contract amendments not to exceed $50,000;
(4) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 37th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2025-049 appropriating $537,800 of Traffic Impact Fees for the Westside Road over Canyon Hollow Creek Bridge Replacement Project; and (5) Increase the construction management budget for the Westside Road over Canyon Hollow Creek Bridge Replacement Project by $537,800 to bring the construction management total to $1,250,300 and thus the total project budget to $7,508,026.

Fiscal Impact
The Consulting and Professional Services Contract will be funded by a combination of two sources which consist of the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and the City of Redding (City) Citywide Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Program.

The attached budget resolution transferring $537,800 from the TIF Program to the Project for Construction Management is required to fully fund the project. The City anticipates that this fund increase will be grant-eligible, meaning the increase in Traffic Impact Fee will be reimbursed

88.53 percent through the Federal Highway Bridge Program and the remaining 11.47 percent will be funded with TIF Funds. When additional HBP funds are allocated to the project, the MEETING DATE: May 5, 2026

Project cost components are estimates and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award this contract; in which case, City of Redding (City) staff would be required to perform the construction management and inspection services. This would require either consultant services to be solicited for other capital work or a reduction in the City’s capital program delivery.

Background/Analysis
The proposed Westside Road Bridge over Canyon Hollow Creek Replacement Project (Project) includes the replacement of the Westside Road bridge over Canyon Hollow Creek as well as the approach roadway to the bridge. The work will include removal of the existing bridge in stages, construction of new bridge over two construction seasons, construction of sidewalk, curb and gutter, utility relocation, roadway construction, and other miscellaneous items of work.

On February 17, 2026, the Council awarded the Project construction to J.F Shea Inc. of Redding, California. It is anticipated that the project will be completed in fall 2027.

Due to the City’s engineering staff’s oversight of a significant number of projects this upcoming construction season, there is insufficient staff to manage a project of this magnitude and complexity without affecting the delivery of other projects. Therefore, consultant support is required.

Consultant Selection Process
In January 2026, a formal Request for Proposals (No. 5666), outlining the specific scope of work, was advertised. Proposals were required to include a scope of work and proposed fee. On February 13, 2026, proposals and fee schedules were received and reviewed from four firms.

A review and selection panel were formed consisting of members from the Public Works Department. The proposals were evaluated based on the understanding of the scope of work, Packet Pg. 827
Report to Redding City Council April 30, 2026
Re: 4.11(e)--Award RFP No. 5666 Westside Road Bridge for Construction Management Services Page 3
ability to meet the proposed schedule and maintain the project budget, experience and qualifications of the proposed staff, ability to work with City staff, project approach, familiarity with City procedures, and geographic location of the team.

Applying the criteria to the proposals, the selection panel determined that Webster Engineering, Inc., has the necessary experience and expertise to provide the required services for this project.

Following the evaluation and ranking, Webster Engineering, Inc., proposed fees were opened, evaluated, and negotiated to include reasonable costs based on the scope of services as well as previous similar project cost comparisons.

The consultant fee is estimated and payments will be for actual work performed on a time and materials basis within the not-to-exceed contract limits. However, staff recommends the approval of an additional $50,000 in contingency reserve. Contingency funds may be necessary due to unforeseen project issues. If the contingency reserve needs to be utilized, an amendment would be negotiated with the consultant and the contract would be modified with approval of the City Manager. The attached professional services agreement with Webster Engineering, Inc., is approved as to form by the City Attorney and executed by the consultant.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On June 16, 2020, the Council adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring Program and approved the project, thereby satisfying the requirements of the CEQA Guidelines Section 15074. No further action is required.

4.1 l(b)
FROM:
*** APPROVED BY***
Chuck Aukland, Public
Works Director
6/8/202
SUBJECT: 4. l(b)--Adoption of the Eastside Road and Westside Road Bridges Replacement Project, Mitigated Negative Declaration, and the Mitigation and Monitoring Program Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP), and approve the Eastside Roaa and Westside Road Bridges Replacement Project (Project) as described, thereby satisfying the requireme ts of the lifomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines §15074).

Fiscal Impact
Adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declara 10n an e iti ation Monitoring Program (MMP) allows the project to move to phases. There is no fiscal impact as a direct result of ad --~ ation and Mitigation Monitoring Program.

The Eastside Road bridge replacement is estimated to cost $2,683 1200, and the estside Road bridge replacement is estimated to cost $2,985,612. A roxima ely 88 p€rcent of the cost for the Project will be funded through a grant from the Federal • gHway Bridge Program. The remaining $650,000 will be a local match from the TraffiG Impact Fee Program.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) can choose to not adopt the MND and the MMP. Without approval, the project would not proceed, as it would not be in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Future opportunities for Highway Bridge Program grant funding would also be jeopardized.

The project is located on the east side and west side of State Route 273, respectively, approximately 650 feet south of the intersection of State Route 273 and Buenaventura Boulevard. The project will replace the existing Eastside Road Bridge with a new two-lane, twospan cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab-bridge. The proposed structure will provide two 12- foot travel lanes, 8-foot shoulders, one 6-foot wide sidewalk, and concrete barriers.

Approximately 300 feet of roadway will be reconstructed at both approaches to conform to the new bridge.

The Westside Road Bridge will be replaced with a new two-lane, three-span cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab-bridge. The proposed bridge will provide two 12-foot travel lanes, 4- foot shoulders, one 6-foot wide sidewalk, and barriers.

An Initial Study (IS) was prepared to satisfy the requirements o th GEQA. I escribes why the project is being proposed and the potential impacts to the existing environment. The IS shows that the proposed project could have a significant effect o biological resources, but with implementation of mitigation measures, those impacts will oe reduced to a level considered less than significant. The mitigation measures and conservation measures to be implemented are common practices and include, but are not limited to, biological pre-construction surveys, impact minimization, exclusionary fencing, and erosion control.

Based on the conclusions made in the IS, a MND was prepared. The MND describes the project, including mitigation measures, and makes the determination that there will be no significant effect on the environment provided that the defined mitigation measures are implemented as part of the project. In addition, a MMP has been written and incorporated into the MND (CEQA Section 21081.6). The MMP will be used by City staff, contractors, agencies, and monitoring personnel during and after the project to ensure effective implementation of the adopted mitigation measures outlined in the MND.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Conduct a Public Hearing and, upon conclusion:
(1) Adopt Resolution approving the submission of the 2026-27 Annual Action Plan and Citizen Participation Plan to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD);
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all necessary documents and submit the Annual Action Plan and Citizen Participation Plan to HUD; (3) Find that adopting a resolution and submission of a Annual and Citizen Participation Plan is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act; and (4) Find that adopting a resolution and submission of a Consolidated Plan is an exempt activity under the National Environmental Policy Act under Title 24 CFR 58.34(a)(3).

Fiscal Impact
The City of Redding (City) receives HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) funds directly from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 grant award amounts for the HOME and CDBG programs are $331,364 and $654,036 respectively.

The match requirement for HOME funds continues to be met with HOME match credit from prior year projects funded with non-federal and private funds. There is no match requirement for the CDBG funds. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.

Both HOME and CDBG Programs receive program income generated from loan repayments to provide additional revenue. All payments received from Home and CDBG Program loans are used to further support income-qualifying housing activities that include homeowner and rental rehabilitation activities.

Re: 6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Participation Plan Page 2
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may direct staff to amend the draft 2026-27 Annual Action Plan (AP) and Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) or provide staff with alternate direction. The implications associated with any amendment would be dependent upon what Plan modifications are requested.

Background/Analysis
The City of Redding is an Entitlement Community and receives annual HOME and CDBG funds directly from HUD. The HOME Program supports partnerships that expand the supply of safe, decent, and affordable housing, while the CDBG Program provides resources to create suitable living environments, expand economic opportunities, and support housing activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income households.

HUD requires the City to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan, which the Council adopted in May 2025 for the 2025–2029 planning period. Each year, the AP identifies the projects and funding sources that will be used to advance the goals in the Consolidated Plan.

The City’s CPP outlines policies and procedures for public involvement in planning, allocating, and evaluating the use of federal housing and community development funds. It establishes requirements for public notices, public hearings, access to information, and consideration of public comments. HUD requires the CPP to be maintained and updated periodically. The proposed update makes no substantive changes but aligns terminology, regulatory references, and procedures with current practice.

HUD also requires that the draft AP and any substantial amendments to the CPP be made available for public review prior to adoption. The public comment period for both documents opened on April 3, 2026, and concludes with the public hearing on May 5, 2026. All comments received will be incorporated into the final documents. No public comments have been submitted to date.

To prepare the AP, the Housing Division issues a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) each January for CDBG Public Service and Public Facility and Improvement projects. The NOFA is posted online, available at the Housing Division office, and distributed to approximately 90 local agencies. This year, the City received twelve applications totaling $669,217 across Public Service, Public Improvement, and Economic Development categories. Of this amount, $214,837 was requested for Public Service activities.

Public Service applications are reviewed and ranked by the Council-appointed Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC). Applicants are given the opportunity to present their proposals before CDAC, after which the committee rates and ranks submissions and forwards recommendations to the Council. Applications in all other categories are reviewed, and funding levels determined by the City Manager’s Office.

Public Service activities are subject to a federal 15 percent cap on the City’s annual CDBG allocation. Due to anticipated budget constraints and competing priorities, staff is requesting Council direction on whether Public Service activities should continue to be funded in FY 2027–

28. If Council elects not to fund Public Service activities, approximately $98,000 (15 percent of Packet Pg. 876
Report to Redding City Council April 22, 2026
Re: 6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Participation Plan Page 3
the annual allocation) would be available for other eligible CDBG uses, though this would reduce funding historically provided to nonprofit service providers. Average annual grants to each nonprofit are approximately $20,000.

In addition to the 2026 HOME and CDBG grant allocations, the City anticipates receiving program income from repayments of prior loans funded through these programs. Attachment A and the document titled “Proposed Use of CDBG-HOME Funds” outline the projected funding available for Program Year 2026.

As part of the Action Plan and Citizen Participation Plan process, the Council must conduct a public hearing on the proposed use of funds. Following the hearing, the Council may consider CDAC recommendations, City Manager input, and public testimony before taking final action.

Adoption of the updated Citizen Participation Plan does not create new programs or expenditures but is required to maintain compliance with HUD participation requirements.

Environmental Review
Adopting a resolution and approving the Action Plan and Citizen Participation Plan is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and no further action is required. However, each project or program within the Action Plan is analyzed individually for CEQA and/or NEPA compliance.

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

1 Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
In accordance with 24 CFR 91.220(b), the following AP is submitted for the 2026-27 Program Year. The intent of this plan is to describe the projects to be undertaken during the next program year to address the City of Redding's (City) priority needs and estimate the number and types of households, including homeless, non-homeless, and special needs populations to be assisted. Also described are actions to be taken to meet under-served needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, evaluate and reduce lead- based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop an institutional structure, enhance fair housing choice within the community, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. It also contains a detailed description of the activities planned for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds expected to be available during the program year in sufficient detail to allow citizens to determine the degree to which they are affected.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

Consistent with the goals and objectives outlined in the 2025-29 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan), this AP is the second-year annual plan that establishes the activities that may receive funding during the 2026-27 Program Year. Section AP-20 of this plan provides greater detail of the Annual Goals and Objectives for this program year; however, the general categories for these objectives include the following:
• Affordable Housing
• Homeless Prevention and Emergency Services, including Public Service Activities • Employment and Economic Development
• Public Facility and Infrastructure Improvements
• Special Needs Housing and Supportive Services
Given the limited resources available and the funding trends over the last planning cycle, the City maintains a conservative approach in project selection in order to ensure that its strategic planning objectives are achieved, while adapting to changing market conditions.

2 3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

The City focuses limited funding on areas that can provide the most significant impact toward the housing and community development needs identified in the ConPlan. A full discussion of the outcomes of the 2025-26 Program Year will be included in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CAPER will be submitted after the completion of the program year. Activities funded during the first year of the 2025-29 ConPlan period included five public service projects, one economic development project, one Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) facility improvement projects, and one code enforcement activity.

In conjunction with efforts to create and maintain the stock of affordable housing within the community, the City continues to collaborate with local service providers on homeless assistance efforts that are coordinated through the local NorCal Continuum of Care (NorCal CoC).

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.

The City utilized various methods for engaging the public in the planning process, which was further detailed in Section PR-15 of the 2025-29 ConPlan. In support of developing annual goals that address the objectives identified in the ConPlan, the City’s ongoing collaboration with local entities is described in section AP-10 of this AP. As prescribed by regulation, only a 30-day public review period is required. The public review period was April 3, 2026 through May 5, 2026.

Citizens will also have the opportunity to comment on the plan during the public hearing on May 5, 2026.

5. Summary of public comments
To Be Determined after the public hearing.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them To Be Determined after the public hearing.

7. Summary
Consistent with the goals of the CDBG and HOME programs, the City strives to address a broad scope of community needs in a manner that maximizes results with limited funding by focusing Packet Pg. 882 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan
2026
3 its efforts on activities that serve the low- and moderate-income (LMI) population. The City focuses on providing increased access to housing through its development partnerships that create affordable housing opportunities. In addition, CDBG funds are utilized to support economic development activities, a variety of community service programs through local nonprofits that provide support to youth, homeless services, or affordable housing for lower-income households.

The City is dedicated to serving its special needs citizens through its focus on facility improvements that serve disabled populations, domestic violence victims, and displaced families, while also maintaining its collaborative efforts toward ending homelessness. Although many programs administered by the City’s Housing and Community Development (HCD) Division are accomplished in collaboration with other local agencies and private organizations, the bulk of its programs and activities are non-duplicative. The affordable housing programs, as well as infrastructure improvement activities and public service activities, are among the most relied upon resources to support the quality of life for the LMI population in the community.

5 AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
Other governmental agencies, the general public, private entities, and local nonprofits organizations were consulted to solicit their input in the preparation of the ConPlan. Input from these agencies was incorporated into the Annual AP, which supports the goals identified within the ConPlan.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City's Housing Division works closely with social service agencies and other local organizations that represent children, elderly persons, homeless persons (including Veterans), persons with HIV/ AIDS and their families, and the disabled. Strategic planning, coordination, and collaboration with these players are achieved through various consultation opportunities, such as the monthly NorCal CoC meetings. The City actively participates in local collaboratives and initiatives that specifically address issues related to housing and homelessness and is a member of the NorCal CoC Advisory Board.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

NorCal CoC represents the counties of Shasta, Lassen, Plumas, Sierra, Siskiyou, Del Norte and Modoc Counties. In the 25-26 year, the administration of the NorCal Coc moved from the City of Redding to T.E.A.C.H. out of Modoc County. As indicated in the ConPlan, NorCal CoC accomplishes a host of activities and programs vital to the community including the following:
• Creates and administers an equitable rating and ranking process for project applicants as federally required by the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act
• Maintains resource sharing and website that offers a definitive host of services, resources and opportunities for the homeless
• The NorCal CoC Advisory Board completes the following tasks for the NorCal CoC:
o Plans, coordinates and carry out an annual HUD required Housing Inventory Count (HIC) of nonprofit agency available beds and units dedicated to serving persons who are homeless. These beds are categorized by the federally defined program types: Emergency Shelter; Transitional Housing; Rapid Re-housing; Safe Haven; and Permanent Supportive Housing.

Packet Pg. 885 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan
2026
6 o Plans, coordinates and carry out an annual HUD required Point in Time Count (PIT) of persons across the continuum that meet the HUD definition of literally homeless.
• MISI Pathways, a national company, is the new Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Administrator for the NorCal CoC. They complete the following tasks for the seven counties in the CoC:
o Reports annual and federal NorCal CoC data including Point in Time and Housing Inventory Count data reported on the HUD Data Exchange; Participation and training of data entry into the HMIS system.

Representatives from the City’s Housing Division attend monthly NorCal CoC Advisory Board meetings. The meetings are recognized as Brown Act meetings. The NorCal CoC Governance Charter, Board Membership Policy, Membership Applications and Agendas/minutes are readily available to the public. During the monthly meetings, topics regarding local homeless issues and resources are discussed as well as collaborative opportunities between nonprofit agencies and general NorCal Advisory Board business.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The federal government allocates ESG to the State of California. The State of California, in an effort to align this funding with the HEARTH Act priorities, distributes the funding through local Continuums of Care. Since no jurisdiction within our CoC receives entitlement ESG funds from the federal government, our CoC participates in the Balance of State Allocation (BOS) process.

Through the BOS Allocation process, each CoC receives noncompetitive funds.

City staff collaborate with the County and community service providers to develop and implement a Housing Strategic Plan. Some of the goals of the Strategic Plan are to increase the permanent supportive housing and affordable housing units available, to build the capacity of community leadership around homelessness and to implement a coordinated entry process, amongst other very important goals. Performance standards and outcomes will be monitored and tracked by CoC personnel.

2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe the jurisdiction’s consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal setting As indicated in the Executive Summary of this plan, the City utilized various methods for engaging the public in the planning process, which is further detailed in Section PR-15 of the 2025-29 ConPlan. In support of developing annual goals that address the objectives identified in the ConPlan, the City also invited public comment on the draft Annual AP during the public comment period from April 3, 2026, through May 5, 2026, and at the City Council meeting on May 5, 2026, which concludes the public comment period with a public hearing.

An additional element of the annual citizen participation and consultation process includes the City Council-appointed CDAC, which is comprised of nine citizens. This Committee held Brown Act-compliant public meetings on February 11, 2026; March 11, 2026, and March 19, 2026, regarding the 2026-27 CDBG funding process. Committee recommendations for the distribution of CDBG public service funding are incorporated into the Annual AP. Through this process, each project was thoughtfully analyzed for its effectiveness in addressing community needs as identified in the strategic planning process.

Introduction
The City of Redding is an entitlement community and receives annual formula grant allocations directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). In addition to these annual allocations, the City receives program income generated from repayments within its CDBG and HOME loan portfolios.

In 2012, the City elected to serve as the Successor Housing Agency (SHA) to the former Redding Redevelopment Agency. As a result, housing assets of the former agency were transferred to the SHA and placed into the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF). The LMIHAF includes real property acquired for affordable housing purposes; loan and grant receivables; encumbered funds secured by enforceable obligations; rents and other operating revenues; amounts owed to the fund; mixed-use assets; and housing bond proceeds. These resources continue to support the development, preservation, and rehabilitation of affordable housing within the community.

The City also receives funding through reuse accounts established under the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s CalHome Program from 2011 and 2012 funding agreements. Repaid loan funds are reused to support eligible housing activities, including homeownership assistance and housing rehabilitation.

The City continues to pursue additional state and federal funding opportunities to address housing and community development needs.

These include Community Development Block Grant–Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) and Community Development Block Grant– Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funds, which support disaster recovery and community resiliency efforts. The City is also a recipient of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds from the State of California and anticipates receiving additional PLHA funding during calendar year 2026.

25 Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied The City maintains approximately $34.2 million in match credit as a result of eligible match funds expended on the Block 7 Downtown Development project, which was completed in FY23/24.

These funds will continue to offset the City's match obligation of up to 25% of HOME project funds expended. Match credit resources anticipated for the 2025-29 ConPlan period include resources managed by the City as well as resources that the City intends to acquire through development partnerships and by applying for funding opportunities as available. With regard to funding resources administered by the City, CalHome funding received through the State of California Housing Community Development is used for homebuyer assistance loans as well as owner-occupied housing rehabilitation loans. The City also administers the LMIHAF, which includes property assets acquired by the former Redding Redevelopment Agency (RRA )for lowand moderate-income housing purposes. These resources can be utilized in conjunction with HOME and CDBG funds to preserve and create affordable housing in the City.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan In accordance with the 2020-28 Action Program outlined in the most recent publication of the City’s Housing Element, the City intends to market City owned parcels. As the SHA of the former RRA, it is anticipated that development partnerships will be solicited through an RFP or RFQ process to carry out the redevelopment envisioned by the plan. All development activities will be in accordance with maintaining applicable affordability covenants to ensure ongoing affordability for extremely low- and low- income households.

28 Goal Descriptions
1 Goal Name Housing Rehabilitation
Goal
Description
It is the City's goal to preserve and improve the existing affordable housing stock by providing housing rehabilitation assistance for income-qualifying owner-occupied units and for rental units for low- and moderateincome households. Through various programs administered by the City, housing rehabilitation for owneroccupied units will be made available to approximately 65 income qualifying households during the 2026-27 Program year. Such projects may include loans for moderate/substantial rehabilitation as well as loans or grants for minor or emergency home repair projects. Rental rehabilitation projects will vary according to the types of rehabilitation projects that are identified during the planning period, along with the actual program revenues available for these projects. It is projected that approximately two rental units will be rehabilitated during the 2026-27 Program year.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The activities selected for program year 2026-27 include those that address underserved needs as identified through the Needs Assessment and through the citizen participation process. Projects are prioritized according to the priority needs as indicated in SP-25 of the ConPlan. Although the need for affordable housing in general along with a means for addressing the housing needs of special needs and high-risk populations, common constraints towards addressing these priority areas include the variance in federal funding allocations and budgetary uncertainties that directly affect the staffing that supports these projects. New project development and program sustainability requires dedicated staffing and funding resources in order to ensure meaningful impact towards addressing the underserved needs in the community. Nevertheless, The City continues to take a focused approach towards addressing the housing needs in the community through variety of homeowners, rental, and new construction programs. In addition, the City Packet Pg. 910 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan
2026
31 recognizes that meeting the priority needs as identified in the ConPlan requires community-level involvement and reliance on local resources as well. The City has dedicated the maximum allowable allocation of CDBG funds for public service activities and infrastructure improvement projects to provide a comprehensive approach towards addressing underserved needs. The projects are prioritized to address a broad scope of community needs including safety and basic needs; infrastructure improvements for special needs populations; and economic development activities that encourage microenterprises. Despite the funding obstacles indicated earlier, staff will adjust the quantity and scope of projects accordingly in order to adequately address these needs given the means available.

Introduction
It is the ongoing objective of the City to work toward providing opportunities for the development of a wide range of housing types, including affordable housing units that are accessible, safe, and provide necessary supportive services specific to the target special needs population. As funding is available, the City will continue to support the development of affordable housing units in a wide variety of types. The City is currently working with a number of affordable housing developers to identify funding and other resources for a variety of affordable housing proposals.

If feasible, the City will enter into development partnership agreements with individual entities to increase the stock of affordable housing in the community during the 2026-27 Program Year and beyond. Moreover, the City will continue its education efforts on a community-wide basis, as well as on a project-by-project basis, to demonstrate that quality- built and quality-managed housing projects can be a benefit not only to the targeted resident population, but also to the neighborhood in which it is situated. The goals noted below in Table 9 and Table 10 are supported by various funding sources, not only CDBG and HOME.

45 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
As described in Sections PR-10 and SP-60 of the ConPlan, annual goals are consistent with strategic plan goals and the ongoing efforts of the NorCal CoC, of which the City is an active participant.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
Consistent with the efforts described in SP-60 of the ConPlan, the City collaborates with community partners throughout the program year through the NorCal CoC. This includes connections with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Shasta County Health and Human Services, the Redding Police Department, local shelter staff, and private nonprofits. The City’s Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) is a collaboration of a law enforcement officer and a mental health clinician to provide street outreach services by connecting those in crisis with mental health and housing services. In addition, CIRT provides outreach to homeless encampments to connect people to immediate interim housing. The City of Redding continues to manage the Encampment Resolution Funds to assist with unsheltered persons in local encampments. Two projects still in progress are a Case Management project serving 45 people and a Day Resource Center under construction. Operations are expected to begin September 2026. The Center will be hub for people who are homeless to connect with social service providers and receive basic needs to assist them to move towards permanent housing.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons As stated previously, the GNRM provides emergency shelter services to Redding’s homeless population. The GNRM men’s shelter provides 202 beds for homeless men and their Women’s Shelter provides 105 beds for homeless women and children. Guests receive three meals per day, toiletries, showers, laundry and miscellaneous amenities. The GNRM is taking ownership of a Day Resource Center in conjunction with other community organizations to provide additional day services to those who may not be staying at their shelter.

Additionally, in June 2021, the Redding City Council adopted a resolution that declared a shelter crisis and subsequently approved Ordinances 2637 and 2638 and the associated Administrative Guidelines which collectively set forth the requirements and process for the City to review and authorize, through a permit approved by the Council, the establishment and operation of Emergency Housing Shelters (EHS). An EHS provides short-term, emergency, and temporary housing to no more than 30 individuals as defined in Appendix O of the California Building Code.

Packet Pg. 925 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan
2026
46 Each EHS must adhere to the Administrative Guidelines and develop and post Good Neighbor Policies addressing the EHS premises and the immediate surrounding neighborhood. These policies must clearly show provisions for how the EHS actively discourages and addresses excessive noise or loitering from EHS participants and others who may be near the site. Where applicable, the EHS must demonstrate coordination with other service providers and community partners to address the above issues and the impacts of each. The City currently has 23 beds available through these projects. As indicated in the five-year strategic goals described in SP-60, emergency shelters within our jurisdiction have an active role with the NorCal CoC. Shelter directors participate regularly in community dialogue about emergency shelter and housing needs.

Shelter directors work closely with the City of Redding and the NorCal CoC to regularly revisit needs for this population. HUD CoC funds, leveraged with City of Redding resources, annually support local transitional housing projects for homeless families with children. Annual goals will continue to align with strategic plan goals, as community partners support the stabilization and transition of these families with in-kind contributions and assistance with on-site life-skill classes.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
As indicated in SP-60 of the ConPlan, chronically homeless individuals with a severe and persistent mental illness have 20 dedicated scattered site units that are subsidized by CoC Supportive Housing Project (SHP) funds. Emergency shelters in our jurisdiction play an active role in the NorCal CoC. Shelter directors regularly participate in community discussions about emergency shelter and housing needs. The City has one congregate shelter operated by the Good News Rescue Mission. Additionally, several nonprofit agencies use Cal AIM to provide short-term emergency housing and housing navigation services for people experiencing homelessness. Three nonprofit agencies have also developed micro-shelter communities, offering emergency housing for up to 32 individuals for as long as 10 months.

Shelter directors work closely with the City and the CoC to regularly revisit the evolution of needs for this population. In addition to emergency and transitional housing for families, agencies also support other populations such as transitional aged youth, chronically homeless, and veterans.

Community partners support stabilization with in-kind contributions and assistance with on-site life-skill classes, supportive services, and connections to other resources within the community.

The law also requires that each jurisdiction address community needs and available resources for special housing opportunities, known as transitional and supportive housing. These housing types provide the opportunity for families and individuals to “transition” from homeless condition to permanent housing, often with the assistance of supportive services to assist individuals in gaining Packet Pg. 926 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan
2026
47 necessary life skills in support of independent living.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

Consistent with the strategic plan goals described in SP-60 of the ConPlan, annual plan goals contribute to the support of homeless prevention. Individuals being discharged from a publicly funded institution are recognized as having a high risk of homelessness. The CoC transitional housing project for homeless families with children practices strategic plan goals for housing placement and support prior to discharge. Due to Assembly Bill 109, offenders released from prison to finish their sentence in alternative custody programs were identified as extremely high risk of becoming or remaining homeless. The Shasta County Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) offers a plan for permanent housing and support. CCP efforts address employment, education, health, social services and housing. With a current housing retention rate over 90%, strategic plan goals contribute greatly to the success of this population post discharge.

48 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

As indicated earlier, the information, goals, policies, and programs contained in the ConPlan and AP are consistent with those contained within the City’s Housing Element and other elements of the General Plan. All housing development activities undertaken within the City are subject to review for consistency with the City’s General Plan and its adopted development policies. In cases of conflict between the ConPlan and the General Plan, the policies of the General Plan will prevail.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
Consistent with the information provided in Section SP-55 of the ConPlan, an important tool to ensure development of adequate housing is through the provision of a range of incentives to develop needed residential units. The following tools are included in the zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance as incentives to development, particularly to support affordable housing projects:
• Density Increase: Residential density may be doubled for affordable senior housing projects in the Residential Multifamily Districts. This eliminates the need to use the Density Bonus provision of the ordinance, which can add time to the approval process. • Density Bonus Ordinance: The City’s ordinance was amended in 2008 to provide as much flexibility as possible in approving affordable housing projects. This ordinance does not establish a cap on density, nor does it limit the number of concessions, incentives, or waivers of development standards that can be granted. This approach will facilitate development of more affordable units than would have been possible under the basic limitations of state law or the City’s previous density bonus ordinance. • The zoning code includes basic standards for the development of small-lot subdivisions. In addition to allowing reduced lot sizes, it also provides for reduction in building setbacks, lot coverage, and covered parking requirements. The intent of the provision is to encourage infill development through the construction of a single-family product at higher densities, which may produce affordable housing units.
• Assembly Bill AB 2162 requires that supportive housing be “a use by right” in zoning districts where multiple family and mixed uses are permitted, including nonresidential zoning districts permitting multiple family uses if requirements specified in the implementing regulations are met.

Discussion:

The City Housing Department will continue to work with the City's Planning Department as well Packet Pg. 928 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan

The State of California is also taking active steps toward removing barriers to housing production, including the relaxing of regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units in communities.

50 AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

Many of the housing problems for low-income households, the elderly, and other special needs populations are primarily related to income and substandard units. Housing priorities and strategies reflect those conditions. Housing objectives focus on the need to increase the supply of affordable units, as well as rehabilitating the existing stock. Community development objectives primarily address increasing the accessibility of public facilities, improving infrastructure, providing economic development opportunities, and providing social services and education.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs As funding is available, the City will continue to address the priority needs identified in the 2025- 29 ConPlan. As discussed in Section AP-35, the need for affordable housing as well as housing and services for special needs and high-risk populations, continue to be an underserved need in the community. As such, the City will continue to address these needs through its housing programs for the 2026-27 Program Year. In particular, public service activities recommended for this program year include permanent supportive housing services; transitional housing and emergency shelter services; youth and family mentoring and support services. Other projects selected that will address underserved needs at a broader level may include microenterprise development activities; ADA-compliant facility improvements (including curb ramps and sidewalk capital improvement project); code enforcement activities; and infrastructure improvements.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing As discussed in further detail in Section AP-55, the City plans to undertake a variety of projects and activities to foster and maintain its stock of affordable housing during the 2026-27 Program Year as follows:
• In accordance with rental and ownership housing rehabilitation goals established in the ConPlan, the City intends to rehabilitate a number of units annually. • The City also intends to partner with local developers to meet its affordable housing new construction goals for rental and ownership units established in the ConPlan. • Utilizing available funding resources, it is projected that a minimum of three homebuyer assistance loans will be provided to LMI households.
• The City also intends to seek additional funding opportunities that support local affordable housing activities by applying for state-administered programs such as CalHOME or other available funding.
• Additional projects that are anticipated for the 2026-27 Program Year include partnerships with the local CHDO and other local nonprofit organizations to expand the availability of Packet Pg. 930 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan
2026
51 rental units, as well as apply for future funding for a new Community Resiliency Center. • Finally, it is also anticipated that at least 1,811 vouchers per month will be available through the HCV Rental Assistance program.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
All units under contract with the RHA are inspected at lease-up and on a biennial basis. The inspectors are trained to identify potential lead-based paint hazards. Any such hazards, when identified, must be alleviated by the landlord prior to lease-up. The RHA is in full compliance with regulations detailing the timetable for implementation of lead-based paint guidelines for public housing authorities.

Lead-based assessment and abatement of all lead-based paint hazards will continue to be a requirement on all CDBG and HOME-funded housing projects during the 2026-27 Program Year.

Furthermore, CDBG Revolving Loan Funds will be allocated specifically for the testing and remediation of lead-based paint hazards on applicable projects.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families Programs and activities described within this document fall within a number of categories, some having only a minor impact on moving a family out of poverty. These essential needs activities will not increase earning power of a family in poverty and are not likely to result in financial betterment. They are critical, however, to meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, and health care, generally on an emergency basis.

In addition to activities that address basic needs, there are a number of activities and programs proposed to be funded that do have the potential to bring positive change to a family in poverty.

These are the programs that address barriers to independence, including employment, along with housing, such as the Family Self-Sufficiency Program and the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Programs; the homeless transitional programs, and the microenterprise assistance programs. The City will aggressively pursue increasing the availability of these and similarly designed programs as funding arises.

A third type of activity proposed to be funded consists of activities that are preventative in nature.

These activities are focused on the at-risk youth of our community and strive to break the generational effect that poverty imposes. Through counseling and mentoring activities, youth are given an opportunity to envision a different, more positive, future for themselves.

The City, through its economic development efforts, strives to promote activities that will ultimately have major impacts on the community, thus reducing poverty. The City will continue to work with the public and private sectors seeking mutual opportunities that will provide jobs to greatly improve employment opportunities for those in need in the Redding area. During the 2026- Packet Pg. 931 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan
2026
52 27 Program Year, $50,000 funding will be allocated to economic development activities.

City schools continue to lead the fight to educate children starting at the preschool level on the negative effects of drug use. Drug and alcohol abuse, and its companion, crime, have pulled far too many families into poverty. As stated above, a portion of 2026-27 CDBG funding is proposed to assist three local agencies working with at-risk youth and families. The goal of these activities is to end the familial cycle of poverty, abuse, and crime before it reaches another generation.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The success of the strategy outlined in the ConPlan will be the result of the continued dedicated efforts of the many different individuals and groups in the Redding community as identified in the 2025-2029 ConPlan.

The City, as well as other communities across the nation, faces increasingly diverse needs in the community with limited resources to implement the goals and objectives identified in the ConPlan.

However, the City remains dedicated to maximizing those resources and anticipates that during the coming year new affordable housing opportunities will become a reality through the combined efforts of both nonprofit and for-profit developers, the Federal, State, and local government, the private lending community, and nonprofit service organizations.

During the 2026-27 Program Year, the City will continue to be the primary provider of rehabilitation services for the conservation of the community’s existing housing stock, including mobile homes. It will continue to provide rental assistance to the very-low-income population and to a variety of special groups in conjunction with supportive housing programs. The City has an established service delivery system for housing-related programs, operating both the RHA and a multifaceted affordable housing program that includes rehabilitation of the existing housing stock, development of new affordable housing units, and assistance to income-eligible homebuyers. City staff are experienced with securing State and Federal funding for housing and have a strong working relationship with the local lending and real estate communities. Staff are committed to seeking out and capturing any and all financial resources that become available in order to meet community needs.

The local business entities that will play a role in the successful implementation of the City’s housing strategy include the development community, the real estate community, and the area’s mortgage lenders. The City will continue its efforts to encourage the local development of affordable units.

Packet Pg. 932 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan
2026
53 Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will maintain its collaborations with local housing and supportive service providers. The City has more than 45 years of experience providing housing and public services to the City’s citizens. With its strong relationships in the community, the City will be able to maximize the use of its available funding resources to further its goals of increasing and enhancing affordable housing opportunities, providing effective social and supportive services to those in need, and enhancing the quality of life for its citizens.

As stated earlier, during 2026-27 Program Year, the City will continue to be an active participant agency on the NorCal CoC, which maintains active collaborative opportunities with community stakeholders. This includes representatives from public and private agencies such as the Employment Development Department, U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs, Shasta County Health and Human Services, Legal Services of Northern California, Independent Living Services of Northern California, Nation’s Finest Veterans Services, Shasta County Office of Education, One SAFE Place, and Good News Rescue Mission.

As stated earlier, typically affordable housing providers that utilize HOME or CDBG funds provide within their marketing plans a first-come, first-served strategy. However, we may allow a beneficiary to give preferences to segments of the low-income population, depending on the particulars of the project. For example, based on 24 CFR 92.253(d), if the preference is located and described within the AP.

The City shall invest all recaptured funds within three years of receipt pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 33413. This shall assure an equal number of units, as removed from the program, are made available to persons of the same income levels. Recapture procedures shall comply with the HOME program regulations detailed at 24 CFR 92.254(a)(5)(ii).

In rare situations where HOME funds are utilized for the first-time Homebuyer Program, the affordability period is based on the amount of HOME investment (i.e. HP loan) to the Borrower. During the affordability period, the City shall ensure that all or a portion of the HOME investment is recaptured if the home does not continue to be the Borrower’s principal residence.

The affordability periods are as follows:

The City has adopted the Recapture option for recoupment of the HOME investment. The entire amount of the HOME investment shall be recaptured from the Borrower during the affordability period pursuant to 24 CFR 92.254(a) (5)(ii). In cases of short sales or foreclosures that result in no net proceeds, or net proceeds are insufficient to repay the entire HOME investment, the City shall recapture only the net proceeds that are available, if any. Net proceeds are the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs.

92.254(a), in the event the Property should no longer be the principal residence of Borrower before the conclusion of the affordability period, the City shall recapture all or a portion of the HOME funds. This recapture requirement is triggered by a sale (voluntary or involuntary) of the Property. The recaptured amount will not exceed the net proceeds, if any. The net proceeds are the sales price minus the superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. The City may recapture the entire amount of the HOME funds and any closing costs or if the net proceeds are not sufficient to recapture the full HOME investment the City may share Packet Pg. 935 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan

As part of its HOME Rental Rehabilitation Loan Policy, the City has adopted the following guidelines for refinancing existing debt secured by rental housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds:

1. Refinancing existing debt will be considered for multi-family projects utilizing HOME funds to rehabilitate the units if refinancing is determined to be necessary to permit or continue affordability under §92.252. Regardless of the amount of HOME funds invested, the minimum affordability period shall be 15 years. The following conditions must be met for the City to consider refinancing existing debt: a.) Rehabilitation of the units must be the primary eligible activity demonstrated by the requirement that a minimum of sixty (60%) percent of the Home resources provided to the project shall be for direct rehabilitation costs; b.) City underwriting for the proposed HOME refinancing shall include a review of management practices demonstrating that disinvestment in the property has not occurred, that the long-term needs of the project can be met and that the feasibility of serving the targeted population over an extended affordability period can be shown; c.) As part of the request for funds, the applicant must state whether the refinancing is necessary to maintain current affordable units, create additional affordable units, or both; and d.) The proposed refinancing shall not refinance an existing multi-family loan made or insured by any Federal program, including CDBG.

2. Investment of CDBG or HOME funds for refinancing purposes shall be available city-wide with priority given to neighborhoods designated for revitalization.

5. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of the preference for persons with special needs or disabilities. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(i) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)).

N/A

6. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of how the preference for a specific category of individuals with disabilities (e.g. persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness) will narrow the gap in benefits and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and

91.220(l)(2)(vii)).

N/A

7. If applicable, a description of any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. (See 24 Packet Pg. 936 Attachment: Annual Action Plan 2026-2027 Final 4-27-26 (6.1--Public Hearing and Resolution for 2026-27 Annual Action and Citizen Annual Action Plan

N/A
Funds provided by the HOME program are an essential part of the City's efforts to preserve and enhance the availability of affordable housing in the Redding community. The bulk of the City's HOME funds are earmarked for large project multi-family developments. The purpose of this strategy is to leverage HOME funding to the greatest extent possible for the development of the highest possible number of affordable housing units. For those persons that occupy these multifamily developments, access to these affordable units is typically based on first-come, first-served basis. Turnover for these units, to the greatest extent possible, are chosen from the same income categories and beneficiaries does not include preferences for employees of the City of Redding employees or students.

Staff ensure that developers comply with fair housing, nondiscrimination, equal opportunity and marketing duties on an annual basis by checking:
• Federal fair housing and equal opportunity laws that prohibit discrimination against any person (prospective tenant, homebuyer, employment applicants, employees and businesses) based on race, color, religion, age, familial status, disability, national origin, sex, or any other arbitrary basis.
• Section 104(b) (2) of the Fair Housing Act requires that each HOME funding recipient certify that it is affirmatively furthering fair housing. Any recipient of federal housing funds must be proactive in encouraging participation in any housing projects or programs funded through federal sources.
• HOME Contractors must prominently display a Fair Housing poster at rental offices and project sites from the beginning of construction through occupancy, or in front of existing multifamily buildings or single-family houses (24 CFR 110.10). • The Fair Housing poster shall be 11 inches by 14 inches (24 CFR 110.25). A facsimile may be used if the poster and lettering are equivalent in size and legibility to the poster available from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (24 CFR 110.20). • All advertising of residential real estate for sale, rent, or financing should contain an equal housing opportunity logotype, statement, or slogan as a means of educating the homeseeking public that the property is available to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability.

58 • Each housing program or project should have a marketing file with documentation of outreach efforts showing that all local persons have the opportunity to participate in the HOME funded activity.

Each project owner must adopt affirmative marketing procedures and requirements for rental and homebuyer projects containing five or more HOME-assisted housing units (24 CFR 92.351).

Affirmative marketing steps consist of actions to provide information and otherwise attract eligible persons in the housing market area to the available housing, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status or disability.

B. Deny the tentative subdivision map, planned development plan, and rezoning applications. Such action must be based upon a finding that the project is inconsistent with the General Plan or other City development standards or poses a threat to public health, safety, or welfare. Staff has not identified any justification for denial of the project.

Background/Analysis
The proposed 16 lot single-family subdivision site consists of 1.65 acres located on Churn Creek Road just north of the Churn Creek Marketplace Shopping Center. Currently, the site consists of one parcel. The property is addressed as 4363 Churn Creek Road and is designated as “Residential Multiple-Family 9 units per acre,” which would allow 15 lots/units.

The map proposes to subdivide the parcel into 16 lots which achieves an overall density of 9.7 units per acre. Although the Project exceeds the base density of the “RM-9” Multiple Family District (9 units per acre), the proposed density of 9.7 unit per acre is within the 6 to 10 units per acre General Plan density range for this property. In order to allow for increase in density, the subdivision would be developed under a Planned Development Plan in accordance with Chapter

18.53 of the Zoning Regulations to allow construction of the duplex subdivision with a density increase, reduced lot sizes, reduced building setbacks, reduced covered parking, and a private street. The Planned Development Chapter of the Zoning Regulations provides a process, or “zoning tool,” that can be used where greater flexibility in design is desired to allow a more efficient use of land than would be possible through strict application of conventional zoning standards. However, in exchange, the Zoning Regulations requires the Project to have an “excellence of architecture and site design greater than that which could be achieved through application of the base district regulations.”
At their regularly scheduled public hearing on March 24, 2026, the Planning Commission passed a motion recommending the City Council approve Tentative Subdivision Map Application S-2024-00740, Planned Development Application PD-2024-00741, and Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00795, for Churn Creek Commons Subdivision. During the hearing, the Planning Commission recommended adding two conditions to the Project, and these changes are shown as strike/underline in the attachment to this staff report.

The first additional recommended condition requires architectural enhancement to the western façades of the homes on lots 1 – 3 that face the Churn Creek Road Frontage. The reason for this change by the Planning Commission is because the project is a Planned Development Plan and is subject to the requirements of the Planned Development Chapter of the Zoning Regulations as described above; namely that the project should have an “excellence of architecture and site design greater than that which could be achieved through application of the base district regulations.” The originally proposed western façades of homes on lots 1-3 consisted of two story, blank walls with minimal architectural enhancement. Because of this requirement for “excellence of architecture,” and because these lots are highly visible to Churn Creek, a significant arterial roadway for the City, the Planning Commission agreed enhancement of the architecture for these particular lots was warranted.

The other recommended condition requires durable fencing along the northern boundary of the property. The property owner to the north of this project, who owns and occupies a single-family Packet Pg. 977
Report to Redding City Council April 30, 2026
Re: 6.2--Subdivision Map S-2024-00740, Planned Dev PD-2024-00741, & Rezoning RZ-2024- 00795 Page 3
dwelling, appeared before the Planning Commission and expressed concerns regarding their privacy and the related impacts this Project will have on them. While the zoning code technically does not require fencing between the Project parcel and the adjacent parcel to the north (because both are zoned RM-9) the Planning Commission agreed installation of a fence on the northern property line should be required to satisfy the concerns of the northerly neighbor.

As the Planning Commission does not have the authority to approve rezoning applications, and since approval of the tentative subdivision map is contingent upon approval of the rezoning, the entire project is before the City Council for consideration. The March 24, 2026, Planning Commission staff report and Planning Commission meeting are available online for reference.

It is the opinion of staff that with the application of the attached conditions of approval (as revised by the Planning Commission), all necessary findings for approval related to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance and the tentative map are in evidence. The proposed rezoning to overlay the “PD” Planned Development District onto the existing “RM-9” Residential Multiple-Family District resulting with the property rezoned to “RM-9-PD” Residential Multiple-Family Planned Development District is appropriate for the project. The Project is consistent with policies under General Plan Goal CDD9, “Preserve existing community character and fabric and promote the development of livable and cohesive neighborhoods and districts.”
Environmental Review
Based on the Biological Resource Assessment submitted with the tentative map, staff has determined that this project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines, Section 15332, Class 32—Infill Development.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”
• Economic Development – “Facilitate and become a catalyst for economic development in Redding to create jobs, retain current businesses and attract new ones, and encourage investment in the community.”

FINDINGS

CHURN CREEK COMMONS SUBDIVISION
S-2024-00740 AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PD-2024-00741
Environmental Findings
(Title 14 Section 15074)
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Findings for Categorical Exemption 15332 In-Fill Development Projects.
a. The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.

The map proposes to subdivide the parcel into 16 lots which achieves an overall density of

9.7 units per acre. Although the project exceeds the base density of the “RM-9” Multiple Family District (9 units per acre), the proposed density of 9.7 unit per acre is within the 6 to 10 units per acre General Plan density range for this property. In order to allow for increase in density, the subdivision would be developed under a Planned Development Plan in accordance with Chapter 18.53 of the Zoning Regulations to allow construction of the duplex subdivision with a density increase, reduced lot sizes, reduced building setbacks, reduced covered parking, and a private street. The Planned Development Chapter of the Zoning Regulations provides a process, or “zoning tool,” that can be use where greater flexibility in design is desired to allow a more efficient use of land than would be possible through strict application of conventional zoning standards. However, in exchange, the Zoning Regulations require the project to have an “excellence of architecture and site design greater than that which could be achieved through application of the base district regulations.” Ultimately, the rezone is not changing the allowed land use of the property.

While the property does exceed the zoning density necessitating the implementation of the Planned Development, the Project remains consistent with the General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies and zoning designation and regulations. b. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.

The proposed development is on a 1.65-acre property within the City of Redding and is substantially surrounded by urban uses.
c. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.

The property was surveyed by a Biologist for rare plants and animals, and none were found on the site. The northeast portion of the property has a wetland feature the Project will be avoiding with a 20-foot buffer zone. Multiple site visits were conducted on the property by City staff, including a site visit within a few days after rainfall with California Department of Fish and Wildlife to obtain an understanding of site conditions. It was determined that it is highly unlikely that the property is supporting special status plants and animals. In review of the biological report and the conclusion by the Biologist, after multiple site visits, it is clear that the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species.

d. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.

A noise survey was submitted with the Project to determine noise impacts homes on the proposed parcels would have. The conclusion of the noise study was that an 8-foot-tall sound wall needed to be constructed along Churn Creek Road and extend to the backyards of Lots 1 -4 as well as building material enhancements for the homes to get noise levels within Redding Municipal Code standards located in 18.40.100. Noise levels for the Project itself are similar to that of a typical single-family subdivision. There are no concerns of air quality from modern homes. Water quality will meet state requirements. e. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

All required utilities are under Churn Creek Road along the frontage for this development to tie into the existing infrastructure. The site location is ideal for all required utilities and public services.

Tentative Map Findings
(Government Code Section 66474)
a. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451.

The Project density falls within the range anticipated by the property’s General Plan designation of "Residential, 6 to 10 dwelling units per acre." b. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.

All utility and service infrastructures will be made available to the site with development of this Project.
c. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development.

The proposed development is on flat land with no debilitating features to restrict the development of homes.
d. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

The Project falls on the higher end of the General Plan density allowance at approximately

9.7 units per acre, and the site is physically suited for development. e. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

Packet Pg. 982 Attachment: Findings (6.2--Subdivision Map S-2024-00740, Planned Dev PD-2024-00741, & Rezoning RZ-2024-00795) Findings Page 3
Due to the size of the property, approximately 1.65 acres, the tentative subdivision map proposes to utilize a vast majority of the property. There are no standing waters or streams located on the property to injure fish and the property lacks trees and other vegetation required to support other wildlife.
f. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.

The Project does not present any adverse impacts to public health subject to compliance with all recommended conditions of approval.
g. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements for access or for use will be provided and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.

The Project design has incorporated access easements.

Planned Development Findings
a. The proposed development is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, standards, and programs of the Redding Zoning Ordinance and of the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, including density and intensity limitations that apply.

The Project is proposing to subdivide a Residential Multiple-Family zoned property to allow homeownership on individual lots. The proposed density is 9.7 units per acre which falls within the General Plan range of Residential, 6 to 10 units per acre. The subdivision is proposed to have a private street which will serve as access to the 16 lots proposed. This is allowed under Section 17.60.020-5 of the Zoning Ordinance with approval of a Planned Development Plan. The conditions of approval for the Project include provisions for easements over public infrastructure, access to the private street by emergency services, and renaming of the streets in accordance with the private street naming criteria outlined in Section 17.64.020-B,4 of the Zoning Ordinance. The implementation of these conditions of approval make the Project consistent with the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. b. The site for the proposed development is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use and all yards, open spaces, setbacks, walls and fences, parking area, loading areas, landscape, and other features required.

The site for the proposed Planned Development Plan is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the development to include yards, open spaces, walls and fences, parking area, Packet Pg. 983 Attachment: Findings (6.2--Subdivision Map S-2024-00740, Planned Dev PD-2024-00741, & Rezoning RZ-2024-00795) Findings Page 4
loading areas, and landscaping. The applicant is requesting a reduction in setbacks for the attached single-family homes and the setbacks are proposed to be at zero lot line on one side and five feet from the property line on the other side. The building separation between structures will be 10 feet.
c. The site for the proposed development has adequate access considering the limitations of existing and planned streets and highways.

The site for the proposed development would be utilizing a private road taking access from Churn Creek Road, which is an established public street in the City. d. Adequate public services exist or will be provided in accordance with the conditions of development plan approval, to serve the proposed development; and the approval of the proposed development will not result in a reduction of such public services to properties so as to be a detriment to public health, safety, or welfare.

Public services exist along Churn Creek Road and will be provided within the proposed subdivision. Public Service Easements (PSE) will be placed over public infrastructure within the subdivision on the final map to serve the 16 lots within. e. The proposed development, as conditioned, will not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding property or the permitted use thereof and will be compatible with the existing and planned land use character of the surrounding area.

The proposed development is on a property zoned for Residential Multiple-Family “RM-9” and the appearance of the homes within the subdivision will be duplex-style homes with a single-car garage. While the surrounding development consists of single-family homes, the duplex-style buildings with garages are more compatible with the surrounding homes than large apartment buildings typical of multiple-family development. f. The improvements required and the manner of development adequately address all natural and manmade hazards associated with the proposed development and the project site, including, but not limited to, flood, fire, and slope hazards.

The Project site is relatively flat and not located within a high-fire severity zone or within the floodplain. Still, the preliminary grading plan was reviewed during the application review process for this tentative map and there were no concerns in regard to slope hazards for this application. Any concerns with slope hazards are addressed by Public Works early in the review process.
g. The proposed development carries out the intent of the Planned Development provisions by providing a more efficient use of the land and an excellence of architecture and site design greater than that which could be achieved through the application of the base district regulations.

The proposed development efficiently utilizes the property by proposing to build a community that is in character with the surrounding area while also developing within the Packet Pg. 984 Attachment: Findings (6.2--Subdivision Map S-2024-00740, Planned Dev PD-2024-00741, & Rezoning RZ-2024-00795) Findings Page 5
density allowed by the General Plan. The private road proposed within the subdivision is only 24-feet-wide, instead of the standard minimums of a 36-foot-wide road and 56-footwide right-of-way requirement for subdivision roads. The reduced road width gives the subdivision greater flexibility with design. The Project also proposes interior landscaping, a community area with bean bag toss and hopping rocks, and a connected pedestrian trail with a bench. These types of amenities would typically be required in subdivisions with more than 50 lots.

Once a soil sampling analysis is complete, a report of the findings shall be provided to the City of Redding for review and approval. All associated costs shall be the responsibility of the project proponent should the City require an independent review of the report. b. Any soils with residual agricultural or other hazardous chemicals exceeding the RWQCB Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs) or other applicable hazardous waste limits for residential and commercial uses shall be removed and disposed of off-site at a licensed hazardous materials disposal site.

40. The following measures shall be applied to construction activities occurring on the project site:
a. Hazardous materials, including fuel oils, cement, and solvents shall be stored and contained in an area protected from direct runoff and away from areas where they could enter waters of the United States or waters of the State. Secondary containment shall be used for storage of hazardous materials.

Packet Pg. 1000 Attachment: S-2024-00740 Churn Creek Commons COA - Revised by Planning Commission (6.2--Subdivision Map S-2024-00740, Planned Dev b. Construction equipment shall be inspected daily for leaks. Leaking fluids shall be contained upon detection and equipment repairs shall be made as soon as practicable or the leaking equipment shall be removed from the site. c. Secondary equipment such as drip pans or absorbent materials shall be used to catch spills or leaks when removing or changing fluids. d. Spill containment and clean-up materials shall be kept on site at all times for use in the event of accidental spills.

Noise

41. The following measures shall be implemented if a noise analysis prepared for the project indicates that nearby sensitive receptors will be impacted by temporary construction noise:
a. Adherence to Section 18.40.100 and Chapter 16.12 of the Redding Municipal Code pertaining to construction activities.
b. Utilize the following best management practices to control construction noise:
• Construct temporary noise barriers, where necessary and feasible, to screen stationary noise-generating equipment. Temporary noise barrier fences would provide a five (5) dBA noise reduction if the noise barrier interrupts the lineof-sight between the noise source and receptor and if the barrier is constructed in a manner that eliminates any cracks or gaps.
• Equip all internal combustion engine-driven equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment. • Prohibit unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines. • Locate stationary noise-generating equipment, such as air compressors or portable power generators, as far as possible from sensitive receptors as feasible. If they must be located near receptors, adequate muffling (with enclosures where feasible and appropriate) shall be used to reduce noise levels at the adjacent sensitive receptors. Any enclosure openings or venting shall face away from sensitive receptors.
• Utilize “quiet” air compressors and other stationary noise sources where technology exists.
• Establish construction staging areas at locations that will create the greatest distance between the construction-related noise sources and noise-sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project construction.

Packet Pg. 1001 Attachment: S-2024-00740 Churn Creek Commons COA - Revised by Planning Commission (6.2--Subdivision Map S-2024-00740, Planned Dev • Locate material stockpiles, as well as maintenance/equipment staging and parking areas, as far as feasible from sensitive receptors. • Route construction-related traffic along major roadways and as far as feasible from sensitive receptors.
• Control noise from construction workers’ radios to a point where they are not audible at existing sensitive receptors bordering the project site. • Prepare and provide to the City Engineer, prior to commencement of construction, a detailed construction schedule for major noise-generating construction activities. The construction plan shall identify a procedure for coordination with adjacent residential land uses so that construction activities can be scheduled to minimize noise disturbance.

42. Designate a “disturbance coordinator” who would be responsible for responding to any complaints about construction noise. The disturbance coordinator will determine the cause of the noise complaint (e.g., bad muffler, etc.) and will require that reasonable measures be implemented to correct the problem. Conspicuously post a telephone number for the disturbance coordinator, who will be available at all hours and days of the week and include the information in notices that may be sent to neighboring properties regarding the construction schedule.

Vibration

43. The following measures shall be implemented if a vibration analysis prepared for the project indicates that vibration levels may exceed 75 VdB for continuous activities or 85 VdB if the number of events per day are infrequent, as addressed in Table N-5 of General Plan 2045 Noise Element:
a. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the contractor shall verify and provide confirmation to the City, that the equipment assumptions made in the vibration analysis prepared for the project are still valid. The project proponent shall use this information to modify determinations made in the vibration analysis, and to define the measures necessary for reducing vibration levels below the thresholds as may be necessary and provide documentation of such to the City Engineer. b. Smaller equipment (less than 18,000 pounds) shall be used near the property lines adjacent to sensitive buildings to minimize vibration levels to 0.3 in/sec PPV or less. For example, a smaller vibratory roller similar to a Caterpillar model CP433E vibratory compactor could be used when compacting materials within twenty-five feet (25’) of the adjacent conventional building. The smaller equipment intended to implement this requirement shall be individually identified among the list of equipment required under the above condition as the subset of equipment allowed for use at the property lines.

Packet Pg. 1002 Attachment: S-2024-00740 Churn Creek Commons COA - Revised by Planning Commission (6.2--Subdivision Map S-2024-00740, Planned Dev c. Select demolition methods that do not involve large impact tools such as hoe-rams within twenty-five feet (25’) of the adjacent conventional building. Portable jackhammers, saws, or grinders shall be used to minimize impacts to the ground. d. Avoid dropping heavy equipment and use alternative methods for breaking up existing pavement, such as a pavement grinder, instead of dropping heavy objects, within twenty-five feet (25’) of the adjacent conventional building. e. Designate a disturbance coordinator responsible for registering and investigating claims of excessive vibration who will be available at all hours and days of the week. The contact information for the responsible party shall be clearly posted on the construction site.

Chief
Packet Pg. 1018
Report to Redding City Council April 30, 2026
Re: 6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety) Page 2 Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to adopt the ordinance as amended, which would limit the City of Redding’s (City) ability to implement the local amendments that address fire and life safety hazards within the community as defined by the latest California Fire Code. However, the 2025 edition of the Fire Code has been adopted statewide on January 1, 2026, regardless of whether local amendments are enacted.

Background/Analysis
On January 1, 2026, the 2022 edition of the Fire Code was replaced by the 2025 edition. This new code automatically applies to all jurisdictions within the State of California, however, each jurisdiction has the option to adopt specific local amendments to address unique hazards or community-specific concerns.

The Fire Code is amended by the State of California every three years to increase the safety of the structures being built as well as the occupants of said structures. It has been demonstrated that when the latest codes are adopted and properly enforced, losses are reduced and the Insurance Services Office (ISO) assigns higher credits for adopting the most recent codes. This can benefit the community through lower insurance costs and improved safety outcomes.

Many of the proposed amendments in the updated code focus on clarifying language and improving structure, while preserving the intent and content of their application already contained in the Redding Municipal Code (RMC).

Summaries of the proposed amendment are as follows:

All RMC Fire Codes will be updated to reference the adopted 2025 California Fire Code.

9.20.010–9.20.040: Code Adoption and Cleanup
Adopts the 2025 California Fire Code which includes Appendix Chapters 4, A, B, C, CC, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, and O. Removes references to the 2021 International Fire Code. Several sections are removed or simplified as the California Fire Code provides matching language.

Appendix A and G are new adoptions. Appendix A establishes a Fire Board of Appeals, and Appendix G addresses cryogenic fluids.

9.20.070: Violation Penalties
Specifies offenses, fines, and imprisonment levels. Aligns penalty and fee references with the City’s Fee Schedule.

9.20.100: Open Burning Regulations
Updates burn regulations and penalties. Allows open burning between November and April with permits. Aligns language with the California Public Resources Code 44.33 (campfires) and authorizes the Fire Department to issue misdemeanor citations.

9.20.130–9.20.140: Water Supply & Fire Protection Systems Requires hydrants at cul-de-sac terminations in wildland-urban interface areas. Removes outdated 40-foot hydrant spacing rules. Removes 50 percent remodel requirements for R3 construction.

Report to Redding City Council April 30, 2026
Re: 6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety) Page 3

9.20.170–9.20.180: Enforcement Consistency
Retains existing California Fire Code language. Classifies fireworks violations a misdemeanor.

9.20.200: Technical References
Updates references to correct National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, including the addition of sprinkler coverage requirements to bathrooms.

RMC Fire Codes Being Removed

9.20.030: Supplemental rules, regulations and standards Removed due to redundant language already covered in the 2025 California Fire Code.

9.20.040: Fire Prevention Division
Removed due to redundant language already covered in the 2025 California Fire Code.

9.20.060: Appeals Process
Removes the previous appeals process which states that the Fire Chief is the only authority.

Establishes a Fire Board of Appeals under the 2025 California Fire Code, Appendix A.

9.20.170: Fire Safety During Construction
Removed due to redundant language already covered in the 2025 California Fire Code.

9.20.190: Very high fire severity zone designation and construction standard.

Removed due to redundant language already covered in the 2025 California Fire Code.

9.20.210: Fire Flow Requirements for buildings
Removing table B105.2 allows for a greater reduction of fire flow requirements. Reducing water flow requirements will make new construction more feasible.

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
• Public Safety- “Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work, and play in the City of Redding. • Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Findings of fact and need for changes or modifications to the State Building Code because of local conditions are hereby adopted as follows: The passage of this ordinance is not a “project” according to the definition in the California Environmental Quality Act and therefore is not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.

A. Changes or Modifications: Pursuant to Section 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 of the State of California Health and Safety Code, the City of Redding and its ordinance adopting and amending the 2025 edition of the California Fire Code changes or modifies certain provisions of the State Building Standards Code as it pertains to the regulation of buildings used for human habitation.

B. Findings: Pursuant to Sections 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 of the State of California Health and Safety Code, the City of Redding has determined and finds the changes or modifications are needed and are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological and topographic conditions.

C. Local Conditions: Local conditions have an adverse effect on the prevention of fires, earthquake damage, and the potential for life and property loss, making necessary changes or modifications to the California Fire Code and the State Building Standards code in order to establish and maintain an environment which will provide to the community the desirable level of fire and life safety protection.

Packet Pg. 1021 Attachment: Draft Ordinance (6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety)) 2 Below are listed adverse local climatic, geological and topographic conditions:

1. Climatic:
a. Precipitation: The normal rainfall for the City of Redding is approximately 33.6 inches annually. Winter storms are responsible for the heaviest intensity of precipitation, with two-thirds of the rain coming between December and March, and 15 percent between April and June. b. Relative humidity: The average humidity for the Redding area is approximately 25 percent. It drops to well below 15 percent during the summer months and occasionally even lower due to the dry, hot and windy days.
c. Temperature: Summer sunshine is in abundance in the Redding area, with over 39 days a year with temperatures of 100 degrees or higher. The northern California valley sees approximately 200 days of clear skies, with May thru September having temperature ranges between 95 and 115 degrees.
d. Winds: Winds play a major role in the Redding climatological makeup.

During the summer periods, May through September, the area receives dry zonal north winds allowing the humidity to drop to our 10 to 15 percent levels, which greatly adds to the potential of a conflagration hazard due to our urban wildland interface. The wind velocities are generally 5 to 17 mph in range. Gusts will bring the wind range up to 30 to 40 mph, particularly in the summer months.
e. Due in part to the winter and spring rains, we generally experience an extensive growth of vegetation in the spring which dries out each summer, creating hazardous fuel conditions. This, coupled with our heavy existing fuels of Manzanita and buck brush, equates to an explosive fire potential during the summer months.

Redding’s water supply comes partially from the Sacramento River and additionally from wells which are predominately located in the southeast area of the City and interconnected with the grided main system. During the summer months, we experience lower levels of water supply and the additionally scarce water supplies during this period cause normal fire hydrant flushing and maintenance to be severely restricted, if not fully curtailed. Due to the dependency on sub-surface water supplies, recharged with winter and spring rains, the system capacity is always a concern.

This fact is paramount in the amendment for fire sprinklers within the City of Redding, in that, early detection and extinguishment through automatic fire sprinklers is unsurpassed in preventing major fire operations; and consequently, the application of tens of thousands of gallons of water to control and extinguish a major conflagration, especially during dry summer months when water supply is at a shortage.

Packet Pg. 1022 Attachment: Draft Ordinance (6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety)) 3 f. Summary: Our local climatic conditions affect the acceleration, intensity and size of fire in our community. Times of little or no rainfall, low humidity and high temperatures over extended periods create extremely hazardous conditions, particularly as it relates to our commercial occupancies and urban interface areas with wood shake and shingle roof fires and conflagrations. The winds experienced in our area can have a tremendous impact on our wildland and structure fires with close proximity to one another. Winds can carry sparks and burning brands to other structures or wildland areas, thus spreading the fire and causing the conflagration. In building fires, winds can literally force fires back into the building and create a blow torch effect, in addition to preventing “natural” ventilation and cross ventilation efforts in controlling the fire.

2. Geological and Topographic:
a. The fire environment of a community is primarily a combination of two factors; the area’s physical geographic characteristics and historic pattern of urban/suburban development. These two factors alone and combined create a mixture of environments which ultimately determine the area’s fire protection needs.

The City of Redding is located in Shasta County in northern California. It is approximately 100 miles south of the Oregon border and 160 miles north of Sacramento. Redding’s population in 2025 was approximately 93,994, which makes Redding the largest city in Shasta County, along with being the largest city in California north of Sacramento.

Being situated at the far north end of the Sacramento Valley, where the valley meets the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range, Redding is surrounded by mountains to the west, north and east. The most distinctive geological feature in the area is the Sacramento River which flows through the City in a general north/south direction. Several creeks also run through the planning area from the west and east. These creeks function as tributaries to the Sacramento River. Some have carved gullies and ravines with depths up to 200 feet, mainly on the western side of the City.

The City of Redding is approximately 61 square miles and was founded in 1872 and incorporated in 1887, at the northern terminus of the California and Oregon Railroad. Much of Redding’s downtown area is comprised of construction dating back to the late 1800's and early 1900's. Balloon construction, lack of accessibility and buildings built too close together greatly add to the extension problem inherent to our area.

The beginning of construction of Shasta Dam in 1938 provided a stimulus for growth in Redding. The construction boom after World War II bolstered the lumber industry, which became the mainstay of Redding’s economy. In more recent years, government, retail trade, construction and Packet Pg. 1023 Attachment: Draft Ordinance (6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety)) 4 tourism have become more significant activities as the lumber industry has declined. Redding has become a major regional center for shopping, health care, education and government.

Because of the size of the City of Redding, the characteristics of the fire environment changes from one location to the next. Therefore, the City has not one, but a number of fire environments, each of which has its individual fire protection needs. The City has eight staffed fire stations to service our area. The service area for the City of Redding has a varied and rugged topography and vegetation cover. A conglomeration of lower flat lands, hills, canyons and ridges make up the terrain. Development has occurred in all areas, with a vast majority of the residential growth in the past three decades being in the hills and ridges interfaced with the wildland. Commercial development has occurred almost exclusively in the flat lands.

Redding is bisected by Interstate 5, a major north/south freeway, which connects Redding with major metropolitan areas such as Portland and Sacramento. State highways 299, 273 and 44 also pass through Redding, connecting the City with the Pacific Coast and the state of Nevada. The main north/south line of the Union Pacific Railroad runs through the community as well.
b. Seismic location: The relatively young geological processes that have created earthquakes in California are also active still today in Redding.

The largest recorded earthquake occurred in 1940, at 5.7 on the Richter scale, and the last in 1998, with a Richter scale of approximately 5.2. Fire following an earthquake has the potential of causing greater loss of life and damage than the earthquake itself. Additionally, hazardous materials, particularly toxic gases, could pose a threat to the largest number in the Redding area.
c. Size and population: The City of Redding covers approximately 61 square miles, with an urban population of approximately 93,994. Redding is the largest city north of Sacramento.
d. Topography: The City service area is a conglomeration of flat lands, hills, valleys and ridges. The flatter areas are found in the southeast portion of the City. Most of the existing commercial areas are on relatively flat land.

Residential development is being constructed in the hill areas on the west and northeast of the City of Redding. The majority of the hills in these areas have sloping ranges from 15 to 30 percent. The steeper slopes, west and north of the City, are planned for open space use.

Elevations are varied within the City and may be 500 feet to 1,000 feet above sea level.

Packet Pg. 1024 Attachment: Draft Ordinance (6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety)) 5 e. Vegetation: The City of Redding has a dryer, arid, Mediterranean-type climate that produces vegetation that can survive long dry summer months such as oak, brush and pine pyrophytes. The south and west facing exposures have a build-up of oak trees and Manzanita, and the north facing slopes are more heavily wooded with pine, Manzanita and other brush vegetation.

Expansion of the residential community into areas of heavier vegetation has resulted in homes being in close proximity to dense natural foliage.

Often times, such subdivisions are completely surrounded by the highly combustible vegetation, compounding the fire problem from a conflagration point of view.
f. Summary: The above local geological and topographic conditions increase the magnitude, exposure and accessibility problems in fire hazard presented to the City of Redding. As a result of this “findings of fact,” which identifies the various climatic, geological and topographical elements, the requirements established by the City of Redding within the adopted Redding City ordinances are considered “reasonable and necessary” based on the following:
(1) Limited staffing to control extraordinary fire conditions, i.e., conflagration potential associated with non-rated roofing materials and/or non-sprinklered structures where rapid catastrophic fire spread can occur because of climatic conditions.
(2) Need to reduce “life loss” potential, notably that associated with fires in single/multiple residential and commercial properties through using the logic that “fires that either do not occur or kept small through the use of automatic fire sprinkler systems, are fires where excessive use of staff, equipment and resources will not be required.”
Conclusion:

Local climatic, geological and topographic conditions impact fire prevention efforts, and the frequency, spread, acceleration, intensity and size of fire involving buildings in this community.

Further, the impact of potential damage to all structures from earthquake and subsequent fire.

Therefore, it is found to be reasonably necessary that the California Fire Code and the State Buildings Standards Code be changed or modified to mitigate the effects of the above conditions.

Furthermore, California Health and Safety Code section 17958.7 requires the modification or change be expressly marked and identified as to each finding to which it refers. Therefore, the City of Redding finds that the following table provides code sections that have been modified pursuant to the ordinance which are building standards as defined in the Health and Safety Code section 18909 and the associated referenced conditions or modifications due to local climatic, geological and topographical reasons:

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Findings of fact and need for changes or modifications to the State Building Code because of local conditions are hereby adopted as follows: The passage of this ordinance is not a “project” according to the definition in the California Environmental Quality Act, and therefore is not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.

Packet Pg. 1035 Attachment: Strikeout Ordinance (6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety)) 2 C. Local Conditions: Local conditions have an adverse effect on the prevention of fires, earthquake damage, and the potential for life and property loss, making necessary changes or modifications to the California Fire Code and the State Building Standards Code in order to establish and maintain an environment which will provide to the community the desirable level of fire and life safety protection.

Below are listed adverse local climatic, geological and topographic conditions:

During the summer periods, May through September, the area receives dry zonal north winds allowing the humidity to drop to our 10 to 15 percent levels, which greatly adds to the potential of a conflagration hazard due to our urban wildland interface. The wind velocities are generally 5 to 17 mph in range. Gusts will bring the wind range up to 30 to 40 mph, particularly in the summer months.
e. Due in part to the winter and spring rains, we generally experience an extensive growth of vegetation in the spring which dries out each summer creating hazardous fuel conditions. This, coupled with our heavy existing fuels of Manzanita and buck brush, equates to an explosive fire potential during the summer months.

Packet Pg. 1036 Attachment: Strikeout Ordinance (6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety)) 3 This fact is paramount in the amendment for fire sprinklers within the City of Redding, in that, early detection and extinguishment through automatic fire sprinklers is unsurpassed in preventing major fire operations; and consequently, the application of tens of thousands of gallons of water to control and extinguish a major conflagration, especially during dry summer months when water supply is at a shortage.
f. Summary: Our local climatic conditions affect the acceleration, intensity and size of fire in our community. Times of little or no rainfall, low humidity and high temperatures over extended periods create extremely hazardous conditions, particularly as it relates to our commercial occupancies and urban interface areas with wood shake and shingle roof fires and conflagrations. The winds experienced in our area can have a tremendous impact on our wildland and structure fires with close proximity to one another. Winds can carry sparks and burning brands to other structures or wildland areas, thus spreading the fire and causing the conflagration. In building fires, winds can literally force fires back into the building and create a blow torch effect, in addition to preventing “natural” ventilation and cross ventilation efforts in controlling the fire.

The City of Redding is approximately 61 square miles and was founded in 1872 and incorporated in 1887, at the northern terminus of the California and Oregon Railroad. Much of Redding’s downtown area is comprised of construction dating back to the late 1800's and early 1900's. Balloon Packet Pg. 1037 Attachment: Strikeout Ordinance (6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety)) 4 construction, lack of accessibility and buildings built too close together greatly add to the extension problem inherent to our area.

The beginning of construction of Shasta Dam in 1938 provided a stimulus for growth in Redding. The construction boom after World War II bolstered the lumber industry, which became the mainstay of Redding’s economy. In more recent years, government, retail trade, construction and tourism have become more significant activities as the lumber industry has declined. Redding has become a major regional center for shopping, health care, education and government.

Residential development is being constructed in the hill areas on the west Packet Pg. 1038 Attachment: Strikeout Ordinance (6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety)) 5 and northeast of the City of Redding. The majority of the hills in these areas have sloping ranges from 15 to 30 percent. The steeper slopes, west and north of the City, are planned for open space use.

Elevations are varied within the City and may be 500 feet to 1,000 feet above sea level.
e. Vegetation: The City of Redding has a dryer, arid, Mediterranean-type climate that produces vegetation that can survive long dry summer months such as oak, brush and pine pyrophytes. The south and west facing exposures have a build-up of oak trees and Manzanita, and the north facing slopes are more heavily wooded with pine, Manzanita and other brush vegetation.

Expansion of the residential community into areas of heavier vegetation has resulted in homes being in close proximity to dense natural foliage.

Local climatic, geological and topographic conditions impact fire prevention efforts, and the frequency, spread, acceleration, intensity and size of fire involving buildings in this community.

Further, the impact of potential damage to all structures from earthquake and subsequent fire.

Therefore, it is found to be reasonably necessary the California Fire Code and the State Buildings Standards Code be changed or modified to mitigate the effects of the above conditions.

Furthermore, California Health and Safety Code section 17958.7 requires the modification or Packet Pg. 1039 Attachment: Strikeout Ordinance (6.3--Public Hearing to Amend Redding Municipal Code Title 9 (Health and Safety)) 6 change be expressly marked and identified as to each finding to which it refers. Therefore, the City of Redding finds that the following table provides code sections that have been modified pursuant to the ordinance which are building standards as defined in the Health and Safety Code section 18909 and the associated referenced conditions or modifications due to local climatic, geological and topographical reasons:

Report to Redding City Council April 30, 2026
Re: 9.11(f)--Amend Water Shortage Contingency Plan Ordinance Page 2 Background/Analysis
The State of California Department of Water Resources recently released its final draft of the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) guidebook, which includes new requirements for agency Water Shortage Contingency Plans (WSCP). The City of Redding’s (City) 2025 UWMP is due July 1, 2026, and must contain a compliant re-adopted WSCP. Staff has reviewed the current City WSCP adopted in 2021 as Redding Municipal Code Chapter 14.09, and completed updates to ensure compliance with the state regulation as required. This WSCP update allows for extended hours for outdoor watering to better accommodate reasonable lifestyle schedules.

Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the action and determined that it is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption. CEQA applies only to actions which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The action has been reviewed and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
