BACKGROUND
The City Council on March 27, 1973 enacted an emergency ordinance regu-
lating grading, construction and land use in the flood plain area in the
lower Sweetwater Valley. This ordinance was required to ensure that safe
and rational development in this area would take place. The ordinance was
effective for 90 days and expired on June 24 , 1973 . The 90-day period
was to allow adequate time £or the County to complete its study of de-
lineating the floodway east of I-805 and the County Planning Organization
to complete its investigation into the need for a flood control channel
west of I-805.
AREA EAST OF I-805 :
The County study is not expected to be completed until early in
August. Relative to the area within the flood plain east of I-805 Freeway
it will be necessary to require the extension of this ordinance regulating
grading, construction and land use for a period of 90 days . Such time
period will permit completion of the County study , review by the City staff ,
and preparation of recommended changes to existing zoning regulations .
AREA WEST OF I-805:
Since the enactment of this ordinance , the County Planning Organi-
zation has certified the construction of the I-54 interchange and I-5
Freeway link between. "E" Street in Chula Vista and 24th Street in National
City. The interchange construction will include a significant portion of
the flood control channel. (continued)

_ Supplemental Page No. 2
The I-805 interchange with Route 54 is presently under construction,
including the construction of a portion of the flood control channel .
The Regional Coastal Commission has approved the construction of the
I-5/54 interchange and related flood control channel (Case No. SFX 0098) .
However, this decision has been appealed to the State Commission and the
local Commission staff has no knowledge of the status of. this appeal .
Route 54 between Z-5 and I-805 is currently scheduled for construction
commencing 'in 1975. This freeway design is predicated upon the
existence of flood control channel dikes upon which to construct the
roadbed. �
In view of the advanced status of planning and/or construction of the
freeway-flood control complex, it is recommended that the moratorium
be allowed to expire relative to the �area west of I-805 Freeway.
