Council approves Zinkl subdivision rezoning and tentative map for 16 single‑family lots in northwest Redding

The City Council approved a rezoning and tentative subdivision map (the Zinkl Subdivision) to allow up to 16 single‑family lots on a 4.42‑acre site in northwest Redding between the Panorama neighborhood and Buckeye.

Staff said the site is currently zoned RS‑3 (three units per acre) and that the proposed RS‑3.5 zoning (3.5 units per acre) aligns with the general plan designations on the two split parcels. The map shows two new streets (Road A and Road B) and a cul‑de‑sac; required frontage improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalk, paving) and an arterial wall/fence along Jordan Lane and Deodar Way will be conditions of approval. Staff reviewed lot sizes, widths and setbacks and said the proposed lots meet zoning standards; the Planning Commission had continued the project once to address tree removal, drainage and a revised biological report and later recommended approval with two condition revisions (exclude wood fencing for the arterial wall and clarify landscape maintenance district responsibility for detention basin fencing and gate).

No public speakers testified at the council hearing. Staff recommended and the council approved findings, adoption of the mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program, rezoning ordinance and tentative map approval; the city attorney was authorized to prepare and the city clerk to publish the summary ordinance.

Council twice noted the Planning Commission vote had been split previously (one dissenting vote), and the council approved the project on a voice vote.
