This decision was appealed to Council by a neighboring property owner and on September 14, 1976 Council , by a vote of 4-1 , granted the appeal and referred the matter back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration as required by Sec. 19.12.110 of the Zoning Ordinance. As required by the Municipal Code this item was referred to the Planning Commission for a further report and recommendation. At the September 27th meeting the Planning Commission failed to reaffirm their previous position in favor of retaining the R-3 zoning by a 3-3 vote. Pursuant to Council 's Septem6er 14 direction, a letter has been sent to Mrs. Dorothy Davies, owner of a 1 .01 acre parcel at the westerly terminus of Seavale Street. The letter discusses subdivision possibilities and group dwelling possibilities under the conditional use permit procedure in the R-1 zone. Under the group dwelling provisions of the ordinance, up to 5 additional dwelling units could be constructed on the property. However, actual achievement of this many units becomes a matter of site planning so as to meet ordinance requirements pertaining to building setbacks and yard areas, offstreet parking, etc. Given the topographic character of the property, it appears that it may not be possible to gain the maximum yield otherwise allowed by the ordinance.

Form A-113 �Rev.S-75) AGENDA ITEM NO:��T�� 13 Supplemental page No. 2 Findings for consideration of rezoning from R-3 to R-1 : 1 . Based on land form, existing development and adjacency, the subject single family enclave represents a logical extension of the adjoining sound, orderly, and stable R-1 single family neighborhood. Severe slopes within and adjacent to the site provide a natural separation from the incompatibly zoned areas to the north, south and west. 2. Although presently sound and orderly, the subject single family enclave and adjoining single family neighborhood must exist in a state of chronic jeopardy of multiple family incursions and their erosive impact. The proposed rezoning would insure the preservation of a desirable single family neighborhood and spare it the possibility of a lengthy period of disruption and decline which has characterized other older R-3 single family residential neighborhoods. 3. The application of the R-1 zoning district regulations to this property would implement the policies of the General Plan as they relate to the preservation and enhance- ment of existing, sound residential areas. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the General Plan designation of "High Density Residential - 13-26 dwelling units per acre." During the next General Plan review session, consideration will be given to amending the General Plan to change some high density designations to medium density. i �i f , I � } !� - - - - - - - - - -- I � Z I v o i U "C'� i�STREET•--� — 7 � � � � � � � � � � — L _ __� I b i 1 - - -�- - - -, -- - -,- - � � � � i � i � /O ,� /c i � i � , �� C1�� I j I i � � , �� '4LF h ,� ��- d SEA VALE ST. , , `. � � / � � i i �� 9 � e � � � I � � J. , � i , i � � .

July 9, 1976 ' TU: Members of the Environmental Review Committee FIZOM: Douglas D. Reid, Environmcnt�l Review Coordinatoz� � SUBJECT: TS-76-46 Sea Vale Rezoningo R-3 to R-1 A. Background Certain single family resideni:ial neighborhoods within the Central Chula Vista community are zoned R-3, ar�d have experienced piecemeal --- -apartmer7t house development. This unplanned mixture of dwelling types and the resultant increase in residential density have haa an erosive effect upon the residential enjoyment of tk�e single �a.m-- ily residents of the said neighborhoods. The City Council has expressed concern over the aforementioned erc�-- sion of residential enjoyment, and has requested follow--up propo-- � sals on several measures recommended by staff to help salve the "neighborhoods-�.n-tr�nsiticn" prablem. These matters incl�ade the discouragement of premature replanning and rezoning of older s�ab�e � single f�mily residential neighborhoods for high density develop- . ment; the rezoning of some older, stable single family enclaves which have been prematurely or improperly zoned for multiple far�i�.y d�ve�opment. � The subject rezoning proposal is the second in a series of recom- �mended actions designed to rezone several sound, orderly, and stable °R-3" single family enelaves to "R-1" , ar other appropri�te zone. � B. Recomn=:endation " � Adopt this staff report and evaZuation form and r�comm�nd thafi f:hc: Flanning Commission and City Council find that �he project caill not adversely affect the environment. C. Project Setting . � The site involves approximately 1. 45 acres located at the westerl.:y terminus aF Sea Vale Street, northerly of Third Avenue �xtensio��. ar_d is currently developed with two single fama.ly homes . Adjacer��: land uses include single fa�nily dwellings to tt7� east c�f the sit.c� and vacant land to the north, south an.d west cahich are c:urrcntly zoned R-�.� R-3-G-b and C-0 r�spectiv�ly. � ••. _ I5-76--46 °°��- . � July 9 , 1976 • • Th� �ite is located approximat�ly 200 fe��t south c�f the Sw�etwater �i�or1 plain and is riot �uh ject to irYU�2dation in th�t. th� �.err��in - slopes drastica2ly from the north and wcst to the east, creating a significant ridge line with an alt�:ost vertical slape at the western bouzidary. The preliminary San Diega County soils a.�it�rpretata_on study indi- cates that e:{pansive soi ls , ratec3. ::.e�,reze , are present on site . Althot�gh erodibl:e soils were not uited ii-z that samc� study, the s��;erity of the slopes in combi��::tion wi�sa e�pansive soils would indicate the potefltial for erosior�. An earthquake fault, inferred by photographic evic�ence, is sus- pected of existing appro�imately 180 feet: ta the w�st of the pro- perty. In the event of ground rupture or �ubstantial ground shaking potential for slope slippag� should be considered. On site biological resources involve orn��:r�ental landscaping, native - --- ----grasses -and- numerous mature ceda.r and euca�yptus -trees . The site appears to be void of any rare endangered plant or animal life. No known historical or archaeological resou��ces are present. • D. Project Description The project consists af redoning tY�e subject property from R-3 , mul- � tipZe family, to R-1, single faniily, which will provide consistence between zoning and curr.ent land use. Th�� I�-3 zoning would permit a ma�:im.uT� of 4C d�•.e1�.ir.g uni�� w..ile t::e p�oposed �t°-1 ��,T�uld all�.a a maximum of four additional uni�s. E. Findings � 1. The project wzll nat have the potentz4:� to degrade the c�uality of the environment in that it cai11 �ro�ride consistency be�ween • the zoni.ng and current land use o� tk�e subject property. 2. The subject rezoning will assist in preserving the environ- rczental quality of th:i_s central Chula Vista community and is consistent with the lang-te�m environ�nental gaals of the General Plan. ' 3. The project does no� involv� �.he iristalZatian of any facili- ties nor will it facilitate growth within the adjacent area. 4. This proj ect is a discretion�i��y act on -�he part of the muni- cipality and na impact causi:�� any ad��erse ef£ect on human • beings is anticipated.
