Rezoning 7251 Eastside Road from Heavy Industry to Public Facilities
Redding
Summary
The city wants to change 91 acres from Heavy Industrial/Parks to Public Facilities/Institutional. Ironically, opponents argued the change opens the door to the jail while supporters of the rezone note it actually limits heavy industrial uses like mining and salvage yards next to homes. The decision now goes to the City Council with no recommendation.

Impact analysis
Residents cite potential property value losses of $30,000-$300,000 per home if the facility is built.
Future private owners would face less-intensive allowable uses; planning staff say the change better fits the residential edge.
Opponents argue the rezoning sets the stage for the jail and rewards a process they call secretive.
