City Council Meeting 2 November 26, 1974 (Mayor Hamilton arrived at the meeting at this time.) PUBLIC ~ARING - On August 13~ 1974 by Resolution No. 7390, CONSIDERATION OF the Council indicated its willingness to ESTABLISHING AND pay for the services of a consultant to LEVYING Mq ADDITIONAL consider the downtown area as a potential BUSINESS LICENSE TAX for redevelopment. This agreement was con- UPON THE AREA INCLUDED tingent upon the t~rprovement District's IN TIlE PARKING AND submission of a budget of some $5,000 for BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT the purpose of general promotional activities. AREA City Attorney Lindberg noted that the propo- sal made by the Advisory Committee (one-to- one ratio) would be inequitable for certain businesses such as pool halls, card rooms, bowling alleys, pawn shops and vending machines. He recommended that the ordinance be modified from the Resolution of Intention to require that only one-half of the assess- ment be paid for such establishments. This would not substantially affect the total additional levy that would be raised and would still allow for the $5,000 additional levy as determined by Council. City Clerk Fulasz stated that her office has received no protests to this additional business license tax. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton opened the hearing. Martin Althaum Mr. Altbaum stated he is representing Roy's Jewelry and Loan and himself. As far as the pawn shop goes (Roy's Jewelry), one-half of the current assessment of $200.00 is fair. The card room, however, pays $720.00 a year and one-half of this would be un~asonable. Mr. ~itbaum asked that he be allowed to pay one-half of his first license fee (he pays four a year) which would be one-half of $180.00 or $90.00. This is still the highest in the District except for the pawn shop. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. Community Development Mr. Henthorn reported that the total assess- Coordinator Jack Henthorn ment comes to $6,228. If the card room fee is dropped to the $90.00 proposed, the total would come to $5,778. In answer to Councilman Egdahl's question, Mr. Henthorn declared that having a maximum of $100 levied on any business would still meet the criteria of $5,000 for the District. Motion to set $100 maximum It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that the maximum levy would be no more than $100.00. City Council Meeting 3 November 26, 1974 ORDINANCE NO. 1584 - It was moved by Councilman Egdahl that AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. this ordinance be placed on first reading 1372, LEVYING AN ADDI? and adoption and that reading of the TIONAL BUSINESS LICENSE text he waived by unanimQus consent TAX THEREIN FOR UPGRADING AND PROMOTING THE PARKING The motion carried by the following vote, AND BUSINESS IMPROVF~NT to-wit; AREA AND PROVIDING MATCHING FUNDS FOR A REDEVELOPMENT AYES: Councilmen Egdahl, Scott, Hobel, FEASIBILITY STUDY - FIRST Hamilton, Hyde READING AND ADOPTION Noes; None Absent; None PUBLIC HEARING On October 30, 1974, the Planning Commis- CONSIDERATION OF sion reviewed several amendments to the VARIOUS AMENDMENTS General Plan and recommended adoption of TO THE GENERAL PLAN four zone changes in order to keep the General Plan and zoning in conformance. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing, stating that all the proposals will be considered and taken separately. Public hearing closed After hearing all testimonies pertaining to each item, Mayor Hamilton closed the public hearing. RESOLUTION AMENDING The General Plan designates 30 acres of THE GENERAL PLAN OF vacant property located east of Oleander THE CITY FOR APPROXI- Avenue adjacent to Greg Rogers Park as MATELY 30 ACRES LOCATED Parks and Open Space. On August 29, 1974 EAST OF GREG ROGERS PARK the Environmental Review Committee issued a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact. Director of Planning Peterson explained that the General Plan projects a need for 28 acres of park land in this service district to serve the 1990 population. The current acroage is 37 or an excess of nine acres over the projected 1990 needs. Since the area is not part of the existing park, it is necessary to change the desig- nation to keep the General Plan and zoning in conformance. Councilman Scott questioned this proposal. Mr. Peterson commented that in approving the Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan. It was his understanding that the Council did not want to expand the GregRogers Park. City Attorney Lindberg remarked that there was an inverse condemnation action filed on this property which alleged that part of this was designated as park land on the General Plan and the owner was deprived of the highest and best use of the property. That action was dismissed. Motion not to change It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded General Plan by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that the designation on the General Plan not be changed. City Council Meeting 4 November 26, 1974 For the record, City Attorney Lindberg noted that it was understood that a por~ tion of this property was involved in a lawsuit tkat was successfully defended by the City, If at some time in the fu- ture, the owner makes an appropriate re- quest for development, the Council "would come to grits with that problem." RESOLUTION NO, 7529 - Director of Planning Peterson explained AMENDING THE GENERAL that the property was rezoned from R-1 PEAN FOR APPROXIMATELY to C-V-P in January 1970 subject to ap~ 7.5 ACRES LOCATED AT provRl of a precise plan and has sub- THE NORTHWEST CO~NER sequently been graded as a borrow pit for OF TELEGRAPH CANYON ROAD the construction of 1-80S. On August 29, A~D 1-805 1974, a Negative Declaration of Environ- mental Impact was issued. The proximity of the property to the south- bound off-r~mp of 1-805 enhances the visitor commercial potential of the site, and therefore, it is now necessary to change the General Plan to bring the property into conformance with the zoning. Motion to file resolution It was moved by Councilman Hyde and seconded by Councilman Egdahl that the resolution be filed. Councilman Hyde explained that he feels the City is over-zoned with commercial. He noted the commercially-zoned acreage in the vicinity of the property commenting that this particular property is wedged into a street network that cannot accommo- date commercial use. Mayor Hamilton referred to the public hear- ing on this request at which the property owner asked for heavy commercial; however, it was decided that Visitor-Commercial should be put there. Motion failed The motion failed by the following vote, to-wit: Ayes: Councilman Hyde NOES: Councilmen Egdahl, Scott, Hobel, Hamilton Absent: None Resolution offered Offered by Councilman ltobel, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous con- sent.

ALLEN ELEMENTARY June 26, 1974. On August 29, 1974, a SCHOOL Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact was issued. Resolution offered Offered by Councilman Hobel, the reading of the text was waived by Unanimous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl, Scott Noes: None Absent~ None CONSIDERATION OF REVISION Director of Planning Peterson reported IN GENERAL PLAN FROM that on October 30, 1974, the Planning MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Commission adopted a motion recommending TO ADMINISTRATIVE AND that the Cotmcil deny the request based PROFESSIONAL COMMERCIAL on the following: FOR APPROXIMATELY .38 ACRES LOCATED AT TIlE 1. It would permit commercial uses to NORTtIWEST CORNER OF THIRD intrude into a gtable residential AVENUE AND KIMBALL TERRACE area and would tend to create pressures to continue the commercial southward on Third Avenuel 2. It would have a detrimental effect on adjacent homes in terms of traffic, noise and lighting, depending on the nature of the use finally constructed on the property. 5. Existing vacant C-O zoned property should be developed prior to the designation of addltlonal Professional and Administrative Commercial use on the General Plan. City Council Meeting 6 November 26, 1974 Petition received City Clerk Fulasz noted for the record the letter and petition received with 23 sig- natures of the residents in the area re- questing that the Council uphold the deci- sion of the Planning Commission. Speaking against the Speaking against having the property placed rezoning in the commercial-office zoning were: Frank Sipan~ 335 Kimball Terrace; Frank Sipan, Sr,, 335 Kimball Terrace; Mary Powell, 318 Kimball Terrace and William Hunstall, 1336 Elm Avenue, Chula Vista. Their reasons were (1) the property is entirely surrounded by residential; (2) zoning was there when the people purchased their property and feel it should remain residential; (3) the traffic pattern in this area should be considered; (4) the people that would be coming to this office building would be parking out in the street in front of the homes; (5) Council should consider the safety of the children walk- ing to and from school. Council discussion Discussion ensued regarding the procedural manner. Councilman Scott noted that in the past, the Council has always first considered a zone change and then the General Plan was amended to conform to the zone change. City Attorney Lindberg explained that under the Zoning Ordinance, if a property owner wishes to use his property for purposes that are not allowed under the existing General Plan, he must have that Plan amended in order to allow for whatever uses he wants on the property. ~c process for changing the General Plan, whether initiated by the staff, Commission or COuncil, is the same as far as holding public hearings. Councilman Hyde declared that this was the wrong way to go about the process -- a change in the General Plan should deal with broad areas not one parcel at a time. If someone wishes a zone change, he should apply for it, and at the same time, for an amendment to the General Plan to be in harmony with that zone change if approved. City Attorney Lindberg remarked that the City is limited by law to three changes a year in the General Plan, and this is what influenced the staff to include these items at this particular time. Motion not to change It was moved by Mayor Hamilton, seconded General Plan by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried that the General Plan designation for this property not be changed. City Council Meeting 7 November 26, 1974 CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING In a written report to the Council, Director GENERAL PLAN FOR APpROXI? of planning petersQn stated that in July MATELY 2~3 ACRES LOCATED 1973 th~ planning Commission denied the AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER rezoning request from R~i to R~3 for the OF PALOMAR STREET AND following reasons~ SECOND AVENUE It would constitute spot zoning. It would not be compatible with sur- rounding area, 3. It is premature to consider a less restrictive zone until such time as the area is more developed. On July 3, 1974, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Negative DEclaration of Environmental Impact. On October 30, 1974, the Planning Commission recommended denial of the application. Director of Planning Peterson stated that he received a letter from the applicant on November 14 requesting that action of the zone change request be deferred as they in- tend to reappraise the development possi- bilities of the site. Motion not to change It was moved by Mayor Hamilton, seconded by General Plan Councilman Scott and unanimously carried that the General Plan designation for this property not be changed. CONSENT CALENDAR It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded by Councilman Scott ~n~ unanimously carried that the Consent Calendar be approved and adopted.
