Ordinance Amending Redding Municipal Code Title 14 (Water)

The City of Redding is adopting Ordinance Number 2693 to amend Title 14, Chapter 14.08 of the Redding Municipal Code. This amendment introduces Section 14.08.390, which specifically addresses non-functional turf to promote water conservation. The primary objective of this update is to align the city's water management and conservation efforts with the regulations established by California Assembly Bill 1572. The project is managed by the City of Redding Public Works Department, with primary points of contact being Environmental Compliance Manager Amber Kelley and Utility Manager Ryan Bailey. A Notice of Exemption has been filed under the California Environmental Quality Act, asserting a common sense exemption because the ordinance is not expected to have any significant effect on the environment. The action is centered in Redding, California, and is categorized as a forecast with a posted date of September 17, 2026.
