SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice
of Intent to prepare a draft EIS was
published May 11, 2004. The proposed
action is the development of a large
parcel business park through the
acquisition of land and the construction
of major infrastructure components and
the provision of public services and
utilities to serve the development. The
City of Redding is proposing the
development of the area east and
northeast of the Municipal Airport in
Redding, California. The proposed
action study area is located on the
Enterprise and Cottonwood, California
7.5-minute USGS quadrangles,
Township 31 North, Range 4 West,
Sections 2, 3, 10, 14, 15, 22, 23, 26, 34,
and 35. The proposed location is
classified a portion as industrial and a
portion as park under the Redding
General Plan, adopted in 2000. The
purpose and need for this project is to
increase the activity of contributory
economic sectors by constructing a
business park within the city of Redding
sphere of influence capable of attracting
and accommodating diverse business
and industrial users.
Multiple alternatives were identified
and discussed via the scoping process.
After preliminary review, four
alternatives were considered for full
evaluation. They are:
Alternative 1—Development of a large
lot business park capable of
accommodating a broad range of
VerDate jul<14>2003

industries near the Redding Municipal
airport. This proposal would result in
an approximate 687-acre business park
consisting of 383 acres of developable
land for a total of 4,410,400 sq. ft. of
improvements for professional offices
and industrial users. About 250 acres in
the northern portion will be preserved
as open space to protect the vernal pool
and wetland features in the area. The
proposal includes parcels ranging from
4 acres to more than 100 acres. An
extensive trail system, for pedestrians
and bikes, will wind throughout the
project and the open space preserve.
Part of this trail will also serve as a
utility access road for a proposed 115Kv
transmission line that runs through the
northern open space area and then
down the east side of the project area.
This alternative involves two bridge
crossings of Stillwater Creek and the
construction of a backbone road, trunk
sewer lines, water lines, traffic
improvement, and other utilities. This
alternative could also have impacts on
vernal pool features and other
jurisdictional waters. A portion of the
site lies within Critical habitat for vernal
pool species.
Alternative 2: (Preferred Alternative):
An onsite variation of Alternative 1, the
overall project is 687 acres with
approximately 383 acres of developable
land. The major change for this
alternative is that it relocates the 115Kv
transmission lines away from the open
space area to the west side of the
property near the proposed backbone
road. A portion of the northern phase
will be preserved as open space to
protect the vernal pool wetland features
in the area. The trail system was
rerouted to protect sensitive open space
areas. This alternative involves two
bridge crossings of Stillwater Creek and
the construction of a backbone road,
trunk sewer lines, water lines, traffic
improvement, and other utilities. This
alternative could also have impacts on
vernal pool features and other
jurisdictional waters. A portion of the
site lies within Critical habitat for vernal
pool species.
Alternative 3: This offsite alternative
includes the combination of separately
owned parcels into a large
(approximately 395 developable acres)
potentially available site northwest of
the Redding Municipal Airport. It is
anticipated that this site could provide
parcels ranging from 1.5 acres to 100
acres to meet the community’s need.
Based on projections for professional
office and industrial users this could
provide up to 4,499,000 sq. ft. of
development. This alternative involves
one bridge crossing of Clover Creek and
the construction of a backbone road,

sewer lines, water lines, traffic
improvement, and other utilities. This
alternative could also have impacts on
vernal pool features and other
jurisdictional waters. The site lies
within the area designated as Critical
habitat for vernal pool species.
No Project—No Action. No action
would be taken. The land for all
alternatives zoned for development will
likely develop over the next 20 years in
some fashion regardless of this proposal.
An approximate 218-acre portion of
Alternative 1 and 2 is designated as Park
and would be developed in that fashion.
Actions common to all alternatives
include certain traffic, electrical
transmission lines, water, wastewater,
and other utility improvements.
The DEIS/DEIR addresses the
following environmental issues: Air
quality, cultural resources, flood hazard,
hydrology, noise, hazardous materials,
biological resources, traffic, land use,
erosion control, environmental justice,
housing and population, growth
inducing effects, and secondary and
cumulative impacts.
Questions may be directed to the
individual named above under the
