CHLTLA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF June 13, 1972
Item Title: Resolution - Granting Permission to Construct Two Excess Width
Driveways at 660 "L" Street
Initiated by: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Attached is a copy of Resolution [X ] Ordinance [ J Agreement [ ] Plat [X ]
Background:
Tucker, Sadler & Bennett, architects for Ratner Clothes. Company at
660 "L" Street, have made application for authorization to constru
two alley-type driveway approaches on "L" Street in excess of the
width limitations imposed by Section 27.408 of Ordinance 1205.
The proposed driveways will have a 30 foot width throat with
alley-type returns, necessitating a 46 foot curb opening. Maximum
curb opening width is 35 feet per ordinance.
Use of the excess width alley-type approaches is justified in view
of anticipated traffic density along "L" Street and the relatively
large number of cars and trucks which will frequently utilize thes
driveways.
The applicant has paid the required fee for special permit appli-
cation. Authorization to construct the two excess width driveways
must be made via resolution by the City Council.
The Safety Commission has recommended posting of an"Hntrance Only"
sign at one driveway and the posting of "No Left Turn" signs at all
other driveways. The staff view is that these are reasonable but
not necessary recommendations. In discussion with the City Attorney
it was brought out that the imposition of these requirements with
the request for excess• driveway widths would be an unusual procedure
which might not be within the scope of the City's authority. It is
the staff's recommendation that the excess driveway widths be
approved and that if problems develop from the installation of large.
driveways, then remedial measures should be taken.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Chula Vista, California
Gentlemen:
At its meeting of May 24, 1972, the Safety Commission considered
the request of Ratner's California Clothing for two excess-width
driveways on "L" Street.
The Commission made the following stipulations before recommending
approval of this request:
1. That the new driveway across from Colorado Avenue
be an "Entrance Only" and be so posted, and,
2. That all other driveways exiting on to "L" Street
be posted "No Left Turn".
The Commission feels that if the above stipulations are not followed
the request should be denied by the City Council. Thank you.
