b. Public Hearing
(1) RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL - REZONING APPLICATION RZ-1-09, by the City of Redding, proposing to add Section 18.43.160 pertaining to "Shelters for the Homeless" to the Redding Zoning Code (Code). Also under consideration are amendments to the Code definitions of "homeless shelters," "transitional housing," and "supportive housing," as well as regulations pertaining to the zoning districts in which these uses will be allowed. The amendments will bring the City into compliance with recent changes to state law that require local jurisdictions to allow homeless shelters with limited restrictions in at least one zoning district and to treat transitional and supportive housing as residential uses. The proposed ordinance amendments would allow homeless shelters in the "HC" Heavy Commercial and/or "GC" General Commercial Districts if they comply with the standards specified by the ordinance. Environmental Determination: Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Zoning Ordinance. Recommendation: Recommend to the City Council adoption of the Addendum and approval. L-010-230 RECOMMENDED ADOPTION OF THE ADDENDUM AND APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL
c. Public Meeting
(1) DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT EIR-1-08 (DRAFT EIR), for the Salt Creek Heights Subdivision Project (Project), consisting of approximately 272.9 acres of undeveloped land, with approximately 145.5 acres proposed for development. The Project consists of the development of 440 residential units designed with a mix of housing types, including single-family, multiple-family, cluster homes with garden courts, and custom home sites (248 single-family units, 96 clustered single-family units, and 96 apartment units). In addition, the Project includes a 13.9-acre neighborhood park with amenities, including a soccer field, a softball field, basketball courts, a frisbee golf course, a ball wall, and playgrounds. The Project would also include construction of an internal street network, utility systems, and storm-drainage improvements necessary to serve the lots. The proposed subdivision will require a rezone to apply the Planned Development Overlay District to the proposed variety of housing types, blending of General Plan densities, and flexibility in application of the City’s zoning standards. The public meeting will be focused on the adequacy of the Draft EIR in discussing potential impacts to the environment and ways in which adverse impacts may be mitigated. Staff Recommendation: Accept public comment. L-010-075 ACCEPTED PUBLIC COMMENT
