ORAL COMblUNICATIONS
Shirley Wise Mrs. Shirley Wise, representing South Bay
Bonita Trail Club in Bonita, said they were con-
cerned about what is to happen to their
established trail located south and east
of Lynwood Mills between Lynwood Hills and
Southwestern College area. Now with the de-
velopment of Rice Canyon and the Bloom
property, their trails may be obliterated.
Mrs, Wise submitted a map showing the
equestrian trails. She asked that their
appeal be placed on the Planning Commission
City Council Meeting 2 November 19, 1974
meeting to be held tomorrow (November 20).
She also requested that the Council be
amenable to encouraging the subdividers to
plan for the ~backyard horse" so that the
Riders Club will be assured of having horse
trails in this Chula Vista area.
Mr. Peterson commented that this item will
be placed on the Planning Commission next
week (the meeting tomorrow is a workshop
meeting) and he will notify Mrs. Wise of
the time and place.
(Mayor Hamilton arrived at this time.)
Carole Smith Mrs. Smith asked for Council's position
87 "F" Street concerning continued hearings on the DLB
Chula Vista Corporation's proposed Plaza del Rey:
1. Does the Council intend to continue
the hearings on this proposal?
2. If so, identify the person or persons
requesting such consideration in
light of the announced foreclosure
and public sale of the lands involved
in Plaza del Rey.
She asked that the answers to these ques-
tions be mailed to Citizens Concerned II,
P.O. Box 451, Chula Vista.
PUBLIC HEARING - In a written report to the Council, Director
CONSIDERATION OF SAFHTY of Planning Peterson explained that the
ELEMENT OF GENERAL, PLAN State Planning and Zoning Law (Government
Code) requires that each city and county
prepare and adopt a Safety Element. This
is a companion general plan of the Seismic
Safety Element which the Council recently
referred to the Planning Commission. Mr.
Peterson added that while the Safety Element
covers fire'safety and seismic safety, it
concentrates on the former. On October 23,
1974, the Planning Commission recommended
that the Safety Element be adopted.
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised,
Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing.
Public hearing closed There being no comments, either for or
against, the hearing was declared closed.
RESOLUTION NO. 7525 - Offered by Councilman Scott, the reading of
ADOPTING THE SAFETY the text was waived by unanimous consent,

APPROVAL OF MINUTES It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried
that th~ minutes of the meeting of November 12,
1974 be approved, copies having been sent
to each Councilman.
PUBLIC HEARING - This is a stall-initiated amendment to the
CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING Zoning Ordinance emanating from a review
ZONING ORDINANCE RELATING of how the Hillside Modifying District
TO HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT relates to approved hillside subdivisions.
In a written report to the Council, Director
of Planning Peterson explained that the
absence of a built-in flexibility in the
"H" District regulations has required that
the "P" Precise Plan Modifying District
also be attached so a number of properties
have been rezoned to R-1-H-P. The staff
now feels that it is better practice to
amend the "M" District regulations to
allow for the necessary flexibility than
to continue to employ a second modifying
district ("P" Modifying District). On
October 23, 1974, the Planning Commission
recommended the adoption of this amendment.
Mayor Hamilton indicated he was surprised
that the Hillside Ordinance had the re-
strictions of lot sizes and setbacks under
the underlying zone.
Councilman Scott noted that at the meeting
held last week (November 12), the Council
discussed the coverage question and agreed
to hold further discussions on it -- the
problems the City has had with it, and the
basic philosophical background of why lot
coverage.
Public hearing continued It was moved by Councilman Scottand seconded
by Councilman Hobel that this item be held
off until a discussion is held on lot
coverage.
Discussion of motion Councilman Hyde commented that he recognizes
the need for flexibiiity here; however, in
the last sentence of the ordinance, it
states that the developer must provide
specific floor plans at the time of sub-
mission of the tentative map, but
nothing is stated as to changes in the lot.
He asked that language be inserted to in-
dicate that any deviation from normal
standards as well as floor plans of houses
will be pointed out or specifically noted.
Mr. Peterson declared this was the intent
and it will be clarified.
Question called Councilman Egdahl called for the question.

City Council Meeting 7 November 19, 1974
REPORT ON DISCONTINUATION City Manager Thomson referred to the report
OF GLASS RECYCLING CENTER submitted by Gregory Smith, Administrative
Analyst, regarding the glass recycling
center. Mr, Smith discussed the background
whereby in March 1973, the Chula Vista Junior
Women's Club established the Center and then
it was taken over by the Boy Scouts (El
Camino District). The Boy Scouts have now
indicated their unwillingness to continue

by Councilman Hyde ahd unanimously carried

the order as soon as he receives the design
for the "sunburst" (as on the Orange Street
Bridge). This will be installed within
one month.
The Council expressed its concern about the
one-month delay and asked for something
temporary to be done. Mr. Cole indicated
he would contact them on this.
Councilman Hobei asked Mr. Cole to check to
see if the modification will be made on the
"H" Street Bridge.
Accept report It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded
by C~uneilman Hyde and unanimously carried

City Council Meeting 8 November 19, 1974
REPORT ON AVAILABILITY In a written repQrt, Director of Personnel
OF COMPREHENSIVE EMPLOY- McCabe announced that the City will receive
b~NT AND TRAINING ACT the first allocation of funds totaling
(CETA) TITLE II FUNDS $117,741 which should be spent between now
OF FISCAL YEAR 1974 and June $0, 1975 with the second alloca-
tion of funds of $193,384 to be forthcoming
in two or three months.
The City's current PEP Occupational Summary
was revised to allow for immediate filling

thereby expending all PEP funds before
starting the new CETA Program.
Mr. McCabe presented the Council with a
summary of the PEP jobs currently filled

REPORT ON IMPACT OF Director of Public Works Cole explained
ABANDONMENT OF ROUTE that on October 29, 1974, the Council directed
252 PROJECT IN SOUTHEAST the staff to evaluate the impact of dele-
SAN DIEGO tion of Route 252 in southeast San
Diego from the freeway system. ~,{r. Cole
remarked that the people in Chela Vista
would benefit jointly with all residents
of the South Bay area through the con-
structing of Route 252. Itc recommended
that the Council adopt a resolution sup-
porting this construction adding that a
deletion of the route would cause an im-
balance of traffic flow on the remainder of
the freeway system and result in overload-
ing and reduced level of service for those
portions of the system ~erving Chula Vista.
Report accepted It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried
that the report be accepted and a ~olution
be brought back supporting Route 252.
REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION Director of Planning Peterson commented
OF COUNCIL ACTION ON that in meeting with the applicant, it has
OCTOBER 16, 1974 ON become apparent that different interpre-
PLAZA DEL REY rations of the Council motion made on
October 16, 1974 exist. He asked for
clarification on several points.
Councilman Scott's clarification (A transcript follows.)
Scott As far as the first question is concerned, we
are talking about an area that is on the south
of H Street.
Hyde Mr. Scott, in your comments, in page 3 of the
testimony, it says: "Scott: Well, those are
gross acres. Yes." How much more clear can
you get? They are gross acres.
Scott We're really talking about everything south of
H Street - we were referring to the map at that
time. I don't know what the acreage is - whatever
it is. That's what we're talking about.
Peterson We should be more specific than that. Even the
green area shown is slope area shown to the south
of H Street - that's still south of H Street and
if it is Council's intent to, let's see what is
that - Street "A" is the street to the south -
~verything between "H" Street and Street "A" -
that's suppose to be the ....
-Mayor O.K. Inside the circle?
Scott Those are the acreages that were given to us
that night at the hearing as being applicable to
those areas between the two streets - we weren't
talking about the flood control channel. Is that
how everyone understood it?
Egdahl I didn't understand it that way, Mr. Mayor. I
understood there was a reduction in the acreage
from what they were asking for by 20 acres.
Mayor That's correct. That's what he says in there
but he's just saying it's between the two roads--
the area we're talking about is between the two
roads.
Scott Sure, the reduction is 20 acres.
Mayor That's of the shopping center to be developed.
Scott And the shopping center itself, as I gave the
n~Dtion, is the actual regional shopping center
building which was discussed as being 1.2 million
square feet, and we reduced that to 750,000 square
feet. It didn!t have to do with the outline of
the building. Does that clarify that?
Egdahl No other buildings can be built there - is that
what you're saying?
Mayor No. He said it would be limited to the 750,000
square feet rather than 1.2 million.
Egdahl How many other buildings were in the framework
of H Street and "A" Street that can be built?
Scott Well, we had the ..... divided into the other
section was the recreational-commercial which
wasn't included in that motion. We talked about
whether they could put some others on the other
side over here if a need was shown or demonstra-
ted, but the shopping center of 750,000 acres..
with a shopping center that says regional shopping
center--the building itself. That's what was
proposed to be 1.2 million square feet and that
was reduced to 750,000 square feet.
Hyde And that was to be all within that loop.
8b
Scott Ail within that loop road as proposed by the
staff.
Egdahl Well, figures were cited in the motion. The
figures that I understand go from 80 plus
20 acresof green belt plus .... then I'm not
clear. Are there an additional 20 acres?
Hyde Outside of that.
Egdahl Well, I'm not hearing that. Are they outside
of the "H" Street, "A" Street enclosure?
Mayor You're talking about the recreational...
Egdahl Yes, I'm just asking. Yes, so within the
loop, it's 80 acres.
Scott Right. And the 20 acres is also within that
loop of open space.
Mayor IN other words, there is approximately 100
acres in there and approximately 20 acres of
it will be open, approximately 80 acres of
it can be developed.
Scott The 20 acres of open space, it seems to me,
was right in the motion - we wanted that to
be landscaped and used creatively throughout
the parking lot and buffer right out in front
as suggested by one of the speakers.
~eterson Yes, that was the staff's interpretation
but I think the applicant disagreed with that.
Scott Well that was %he motion.
Hyde In item 2c also--"additional square footage
of office, professional or convenience retail
area within the 80 acre regional shopping
center site..." that was not provided for.
That's my understanding.
Mayor It was my understanding that the question was
asked "can it be?" and Mr. Scott said "yes
it could be."
Scott Well, what we talked about is that it could be
if it was shown at a later date that it was
necessary. We're talking about those parks
there now %hat are on %he right-hand side of
the regional shopping center - that was neither
approved or disapproved.
Hyde It was my understanding, Mr. Scott, that if they
wanted to have any professional or convenience
retail within the 80-acre regional shopping center
that it would be part of the 750,000 square feet.
Mayor Says right here - says "recreation commercial
would be another part of the 20 and Mr. Hobel
says nothing in there for profession and
recreation in the recreation commercial - and
Frank says "no, I don't include that in the
recreation commercial" - all right? If they
want to put something professional, it would have
to come out of %he 100 acres, which is the 80
acres plus the 20 acres open space. So it's
purely and simply that. If they want to ...
Scott Are we talking about that at a later date..
Hyde But I think the question is whether we're
talking about it in addition to the 750,000
square feet and my understanding of Mr. Scott's
motion was that if they wished to do that, that
shall be included within the 750,000 square feet
limitation within the 80 acres of the commercial
in the regional shopping center.
Mayor There's a lot of difference between the pro-
fessional buildings and the regional shopping
center andMr. Scott's comment was "the regional
shopping center will be 750,000 square feet
max" period - right there.
Hyde May I refer you ...
Scott That seems to me a minor point because in our
discussions I know we did bring this point up
of what to do about that at a later date and I
don't see ~hat as being
Hyde I refer you to page 2 - I'm not sure if this is
exactly the right answer - page 2 of the minutes -
in the center of the page identified by Note 2
where it says "Scott - right - recreational/
commercial would be another 20; Hobel: Nothing
in there for professional/recreational/commercial;
Scott: No, I don't include that - I don't
include that in the recreational/commercial if
they want to put something professional, it would
have to be out of the 100 acres."
My interpretation of that was that that's a
part of the 750,000 square feet on the 80 acre
portion - commercial portion - within that loop.
Scott Of all the things we had tonight this seems to
(did not use mike) be the only point for disagreement and I think
it could be interpreted either way - the way I
meant it was not to be included...I can see how
a reasonable person could interpret it either
way...I really don't see...what we are talking
about...the buildings...of those magnitude
of those which are located on the mapwhich would
be auxiliary to...the buildings. I can see
where someone might read into that whereby you
could have additional retail outlets. That
certainly wasn't the intent -- just the
utilization of that office or professional
building$...as necessary down the road - not
to come out of the 750,000 square feet.
Hyde My concern here is that if that's not pinned
down, then there is no:limit to the amount
of professional office facilities that could be
built within the 100 acres in addition to the
750,000.
Scott I think that's a legitimate concern. I think
we should pin those down.
Hobel You're talking square footage.
Scott Right.
Hyde My idea was that you were saying - your motion -
that you wanted the development within that
80 acres to be..not to ~xceed 750,000 square
feet.
Mayor Regional shopping center.
8d
Hyde Of course with the shopping center - it's
shown as a glob there - it doesn't necessarily
have to be that way; it could be four separate
buildings.
Scott My motion didn't address itself to that, be-
cause what I was thinking as 750,000 square
feet. The question was asked about that...
my thoughts was that it'll come up sometime
in the future to be considered. So, really,
my motion is more in line with what Mr. Hyde
suggested: 750,000 square feet there period.
Hyde Within the 80 acres, tha~s it.
Scott Then if something down the road came, we'll
consider it at a later date. On the other
hand, perhaps it would be better to pin it
down at this time.
Hobel There's a designation on that map of pro-
fessional and office space to the right.
It was on there at the time we considered
it.
Scott Right.
Hobel And as I read the motion, when you said
750,000 that that was the regional shopping
center or the glob as Mr. Hyde calls it, in
the middle.
Mayor You kept talking about phasing. YOu said
%here wouldn't be any phasing - any more
than 750,000.
Scott We did the same with recreational-con%mercial--
we didn't designate any square footage and
so both of them are on the same .... which
would indicate it wouldn'.t come out of the
750,000; but on the other hand, perhaps at
some stage, we should ...I don't know whether
we should or should not...it should be
clarified whether we intended to do it or
not.
Egdahl The concern I had at this point is probably...
I think Mt. Hyde has already expressed that
same thing .... if you delineate the square
footage and have a shopping center and the
amount of open space that they have to have,
I'm not really concerned about the iamount
of open space ...about the amount of acreage
that is given .... all you are doing is spreading
out 750,000 square feet of floor space over
a larger area and what you develop is more
open space - much more open feeling in the
center. If, on the other hand, they can
build other kinds of buildings within that
80 scres that can be built upon, leaving
20 of the 100 for open space, then you can
start a real congestion and develop-a lack
of open space with buildings.
Mayor We have to be careful we don~t jump into
the precise plan part of this also - on that.
Scott Well, what we're really talking about...
perhaps that would be a better ~lace to
handle that would be on the precise plan
area.
Hyde Well, Mr. Mayor, I guess primarily I would
address Mr. Scott because it was his motion.
It strikes me that the intent of your motion
as I saw it was that in that area we classify
as a recreational shopping center area --maybe
we better talk about it as area--that the
maximum square footage development which would
be allowed there would be 750,000 square feet.
Now,the way in which they use it - if they
want to use a portion of it for professional
buildings as contrasted to retail, that would
be their option.
Mayor That was no way the motion...
Hyde Well, I'm suggesting that as a ....
Mayor No, you're Changing the motion.
Hyde He said it's not tied down. But I did have
i the idea in your mind it would be 80 acres
of which the total amount to be developed
would be 750,000 square feet.
Scott My intent really was 20 acres of recreational-
(no mike) commercial, 750,000 shopping center, and it
was alluded to the fact that the professional
could be put in at a later date. It wasn't
my intent to take it away from the 750,000
at all...what can be developed in that...
I think it's important...but on the other
hand, we have an area off to the side. This
one, we have the possibility...you see a
nice map: there, but if you don't tie it down
some way, you can have a, as Mr. Egdahl
stated, quite a bit of congestion bF the
addition of buildings all around that shopping
center, killing the intent of my motion. I
think we perhaps either isolate those buildings
and treat them differently or give some
specifics. I think it should be tied down.
But I didnt intend to deduct it from the
750,000 square feet. That wasn't my intent.
Ail that's happened...it happens to be a loose
end but I think it can be taken care of.
Mayor To some ext~nt, the ~quare footage that's
developed and the parking spaces required
certainly is not going to have any impact on
how much of it you can build on, crying out
loud. YOu start building floor space into a
building, every 300 square foot of office
space, you have to have 300 square feet for a
car, right?
Peterson Yes. there is one parking space for each square
feet of office space and one parking space
together with aisles and the 10% landscaping
amount to 400 square feet actually -- closer
to 400.
Mayor They're not going to build all ouer that land
down there, if that's the concern of the
Council.
Peterson Course, that depends too, Mr. Mayor, on the
height of the buildings and whether parking is
in structures or underground or .... I think
8f ~
Peterson (cont'd) maybe it is a loose end that should be
addressed either now or at the precise plan
stage.
Hobel Well then, Mr. Mayor if I may, then at the
time we ~.ooked at it...to me, the motion was
clear: 750,000 square feet for the regional
shopping center. Those other buildings were
in there - they were never spoken to as to
square footage, so how could it be interpreted
that that was included in there? I don't
see...there's buildings there...but %here's
no square footage tied down to them, either in
the 20 acres to the west of the loop street
or the other 20 acres still within the confines
of the loop.
Scott I think it would be best to handle it at the
precise plan with the comments that we have
about the concern.
Hyde Well, the concern I have gets back to traffic--
the more development you have in terms of
square footage development, the more traffic
you have, and I have the idea that was one
of the major reasons of your limitation of the
750,000 square feet, and that that
would be the development and if there was to
be any professional, it would have to come out
of that. I still think it's a good idea to
nail down what the gross development shall
be in terms of square footage.
Mayor Well, we can't do that without opening the
public hearing, because none of that was
cleared through the Council during the public
hearing.
Hyde Well, I don't know - we don't have to open the
public hearing for that.
Hobel ...define the square footage...
(no mike)
Mayor Where are we going to ge% that information?
Hyde The public hearing is all over - we've had
all the testimony.
Mayor That's right, but no testimony on square
footage ....
Hyde Oh, ¢~rtainly...
Mayor Not in the area of the professional area.
Scott W~ll, Mr. Mayor, I wonder if we can get an
interpretation from the City Attorney. He
usually gives us pretty good advice.
LIndberg Thank you,Councilman Scott. I think there
was a full exploration of the matter of
acreage to be devoted to commercial and the
amount of square foo~ag~ for the regional
shopping center. In my interpretation of the
minutes, I Could not define any square footage
for recreational-commercial activities 6r
professional activities aside from the regional
Lindberg (cont'd) shopping center, and I did not attempt Jn
%he resolution as prepared twice to attempt
to delineate those, and of course, that's the
reason we are here this evening - to try and
have some better definition or as suggested,
to defer the precise limitations on the square
footage of professional-recreational-commercial
in addition to the shopping center come up
at the precise plan stage.
Hobel Which would then cover you in regard to your
traffic concern.
Hyde Well, the problem with that is you're saying
to the developer, "look, you've got 750,000
square feet in that loop on 80 acres, within
that area, for a regional shopping center, but if
you want to come in and ask for a blank number
of acres for professional buildings, you're free
to do so,"and obviously, they'll do that.
Hobel Will, you're mixing words...look up there on that
map. You knew all along - we all knew - that
there's professional office space up there.
Now, we're trying to cover it up and say it
never existed.
Hyde Now, just a minute, that's not true. Mr. Scott's
motion oreated the,..in the co~n~rci~l area,
t~o areas: the regional shopping center - 100
acres and develop 20 of open space - outside
of it, an area for recreational and/or office
space...
Mayor No, recreational-commercial.
Hobel Recreational-commercial.~.if you'll read in
the minutes...
Hyde Just a minute...
Hobel IN the middle of page 2.
Mayor Right, recreational-commercial.
Hobel Nothing in there for professional, nothing in
there foX...
Hyde Ail right, I ~%and corrected. No, I don't
include that in the recreational-commercial; if
they want to put something professional, it
would have to be out of the 100 acres..
Mayor Not out of the shopping center.
Hyde O.K. Well, wait a minute, it doesn't say that.
Hobel It would have to be out of the 100 acres and
that refers to the 80-20.
Hyde Truo, but within the lid of 750,000 square feet.
scott It isn't defined - there's no way you can...
Hyde Let's define it now.
Scott It has to be defined. My intent was not to
take it Out of the 750,000 square feet; we
did not nail down what it should be, and I
think we really should because I think it's
really important. On the 20 acres, quite
obviously, you're talking about ...that'll
have to be taken care of at the precise plan.
8h
Scott (cont'd) I think this other can be too, especially
with a notation that's made here tonight -
that we're looking for something about like
what's on the plan, and not anything different
than that. But, we were talking, as I under-
stood it, that being at a later date, and
really wasn't pressing. In f~ct, they were
talking at one time about temporary roads
which later said to be permanent.
Hyde We're looking for apparently some kind of
expression of how much professional space
can be allowed, right?
Mayor Mr. Peterson, how many square feet do we have
in those four pink areas inside the ring
road.
Peterson Theatre, restaurant, office, and two TVA
--I don't know the square footage of those
smaller pink indications there, but I
think I'm getting the sense of Councilman
Scott's intent here...something of the
magnitude shown there I think would be
my interpretation of Council's intent. The
applicant has been discussing with us, at
least the possibility of uses that might
involve additional retail sales uses, con-
venience uses that would not be a part of
the shopping center, and possibly professional
offices.
Scott That's clearly outside the intent of the
motion, clearly!
Hobel I recognize those areas as professional
areas out there - those other pink blocks ....
there's never been confusion in my mind
about the 750,000 square feet cause everything
was oriented all through the public hearing
from ranges of 650,000 to 1.2 million for the
regional shopping center. Even the point,
I don't see it in these minutes, but I think
I asked Councilman Scott - "was 750,000 square
feet the lid on the shopping center?" - and
the answer was "yes, that's the lid."
Scott Well, let me make make a motion that - I would
move this be cleared up: the professional
buildings outside ...within the 80 acres,
that the map come back, the precise plan,
no bigger than those put in schematic form
on Exhibit "C" and we311 make a determination
at that time. Those 1-2-3-4 buildings...
the TEA, the tkeater...
Hobel Is that map to scale?
Peterson Yes.
Mayor There are two T~A, one theater, one says pro-
fessional services.
Peterson Restaurant and offices, I believe...
Mayor I'll second the motion.
Egdahl I'll speak against the motion because before
a very schematic diagram like thi~,~ould be
11 stories high, it could be one story high,
all of that relates to parking and traffic,
and I just couldn't give that kind of blanket
approval.
Hobel Wait a minute now. I asked Mr. Peterson if
that map was to scale and he said it was.
Egdahl It's a scale of the floor plan, it doesn't
have anything to do with heights - the number
of floors.
Mayor Well, it certainly would, because they couldn't
have prepared a traffic count that wasn't
to some type of use, square footage use; it
had to Me just like~ the shopping center did.
Scott I certainly...well, you know if they come in
with something 69 stories high, I'll tend to
be a little skeptical about the seriousness
of carrying out the Council's intent.
Egdahl We have questions tonight ~bout the intent of
the Councilmen, and there is a difference of
opinion between the developer and the Planning
department in trying to interpret the intent
of the Council. The Council, itself, struggles
with the intent. Let's be specific then...let's
not leave another motion that leaves...that
allows for any kind of vagaries of intent.
Seems to me to really act intelligently, Mr.
Mayor, this kind of a motion or anyting similar
to it, we would have to know something about
the...
Hobel Is this your amendment?
Egdahl I don't have an amended motion. I'm speaking
against the motion on the floor.
Mayor Let Mr. Egdahl finish his statement.
Egdahl I think the kind of information that we would
have to have would have to rela%ei~o, you said,
to the amount of building they could build in
this 80 acre area other than the 750,000
square foot shopping center would have to do
wi~h ...:.would have to do with parking. Let's
get a report back that says how much parking,
how much of the area would have to be consumed
for parking for the shopping canter, and then
hear how much area is left beyond the 20 acres,
or within the 80 acres I should say, how
much area is left to be actually used for
parking.
Hobel Which the staff probably has.
Egdahl They may have.
Hobel They had to use it in their traffic...
Scottl Of course, all I'm saying is that we'll look
at this at %he precise plan and obviously, we'll
have that study at that time to act upon it.
I certainly wouldn't want to make a motion that
wasn't intelligent, and I didn't do so, because
we'll still look at %his at %he time we'll have
a precise plan, and I don't think we'll have
an 11 story building and I don't think we'll
have a 3 story building on that property. I
think the staff knows the intent of the Council,
and with this motion, it gives %hemdirection
they need and they can direct the developer
so we, ll have a precise plan that we can look
over - so we can either say "yes" or "no" based
upon those questions you're posing - the
additional traffic, the additional parking
8j
Scott (cont'd) requirements~that are put in there, the...
whatever problems we might have, what the
square footage the staff feels would be
ideal for those. We have the exactly the
same problem in the recreational-commercial
that we will decide at the precise plan stage.
This is no different from that, and yet
we're not asking for a parking lot determination
for that or anything else. We'll make the
determination at that time, and I think we
can do the same thing. I think the problem
between the staff and the developer is going
to actually c~ver much more, make it much
larger than Mr. Peterson's statement, then
the intent of the Council. What I'm saying
now is stating the intent of the Council, at
least in broad terms and say that'we'll pin
it down at the time we have the precise plan.
The same thing we'll do at the recreational-
commercial.
Egdahl I didn't hea~, Mr. Mayor if I may, I didn't
hear Mr. Peterson tell us that the developer
was intending to have more than what was
stated here - he just had a different idea
of how he wanted to use it - what was there.
Mayor Yes. Let's hear from the developer~ or his
representative.
Scott I don't want to hear from the developer.
Hobel I think Mr. Scott made it clear when Mr. Peter-
son said he was talking about other types of
facilities - he said, "no, professional," and
that's what I understood.
Egdahl My point though was that Mr. Scot% was
contending that the Planning Director said
they now propose additional square footage.
I'm saying he didn't say that - he said
they propose to be a change of type of uses
from professional buildings to convenience
centers - that sort of thing.
Scott Mr. Peterson, what did you say?
Peterson They aren't proposing this. They've been
in talking to us about the possibility of
some additional re%ail footage outside the
regional shopping center and I think the term
used was "convenience commercial" - maybe
something you would think of as a neighborhood
commercial zone plus additional office space
that I ~hink we did not discuss the square
footage but I got the definite impression that
they were talking about a magnitude much
larger than the schematic indications on the map.
This is what prompted me to want to take it back
for clarification.
Hyde Well, Mr. Mayor, the yardstick we have been
using in determing the limits for development
has been square footage a combination of
acreage and square footage. First, we decided
that inside the loop would be a grand total of
100 acres of which 20 would be open space, the
remaining 80 would be for a regional shopping
center. Now, we are raising the question of
Hyde (cont'd) additional out buildings shall be allowed
within that 80 acres. I think that in order
to place a lid on concentration of development
which I hope for, because to me, development
means more traffic, more traffic lanes, more
pollution and the whole installation we want
to put a lid on. I think we should say here
that, and I'll offer as an alternate, that
the, as an alternate motion, that the 750,000
square feet regional shopping center that will
be allowed on the 80 acres would be modified
to be - the developer will be allowed to
develop a regional shopping center and/or
professional office facilities, gross total
not to exceed 750,000 square feet.
Mayor We have a motion. The motion dies for lack
of second.
Egdahl I'll second it for discussion purposes.
Mayor It's already died; you'll have to make the
motion over.
Hyde You make the motion; I'll second it.
Mayor I asked for the motion to be seconded, Mr.
Egdahl. If I wanted to kill it, I would have
done it as soon as you got it out.
Egdahl I'll call the question on the motion before us.
Hyde What's the motion?
Mayor Read the motion, please.
Clerk The motion was made by Council>man Scott. "I
move that this be cleared up. The professional
buildings within the 80 acres, that the map
come back at the precise plan no i~igger than
those put in schematic form on Exhibit "C"
and we'll make a determination at that time."
The motionwas seconded by Mayor Hamilton.
Hyde Well, Mr. Mayor, that map has a theatre~it's
got ~wo TBA's , res%auran~ and office. What
are we talking about here? Certainly a
theatre is not a professional office facility,
so that will be automatically rejected. What
are two TBA's - I have no idea. Are they going
to be massage parlours or pool parlours?
Peterson TBA's are Tires, Batteries and Accessories -
it would be a service station type of use with
automobile repair and batteries.
Hyde Do we want two TBA's up there?
Clerk Mr. Mayor, may we have a moment please to
change the tape?
Mayor Yes, we'd all like ~ha%. Let's take a recess.
(The Council recezsed at 8:40 p.m. and the
me~%ing reconvened at 8:50 p.m.)
81
Mayor There's been a call for the motion. Before
the motion is called, I would like to ask
Mr. Peterson , Director of Planning, if this
motion carries, would it clarify all the
questions you have asked , any questions that
might be coming up that would be clear -- that
for clarifications'enough for the Planning
Department.
Peterson I guess I'm not sure, Mr. Mayor if I understand
the motion myself. So, I guess my answer to
the question is probably no - at least in my
own mind. Would it help if I repeated what
I understand the motion to be?
Mayor It might help and tellus where you might still
have questions, or where the motion might
be clarified.
Peterson O.K. It's been indicated that there will be
no retail sales outside the 750,000 square
feet, and yet, I've kind of gotten the feeling
that Council is prepared to accept the two
Tire, Battery and Accessory usesi~and they would
be retail sales, and the restaurant, of course,
would be a form of retail sales as would, I
guess, the theatre. My understanding is that
those limited retail sales shown schematically
as a blob would be acceptable...in other words,
anything outside the 750,000 square feet which
is about of the magnitude of the schematic
smaller pink blob ....
Scott That's an error, we're talking about square
feet allowabl~ on the other things for
professional office building. Just like they
have on %he other one. They have a House of
Ice and some other things up ~here that we
haven't approved either, and I'm certainly
not approving Tires, Batterie~ and Accessories
or theatre or anything else at %his stage.
Just talking about schematically the square
foot coverage that is put up on that Exhibit "C".
No usc other than has been discussed precisely
other than a regional shopping center.
Hyde Could I ask a question for clarification? Do
you have any idea of the total ~quare footage
that you would have in mind for such professional
development?
Scott No, but I would leave that up to staff to
bring back - if they think this is too much,
then at the precise plan, we could loDk at
it then. All of these things have to be
looked at again in the precise plan - thisis
a general plan - it is a modification of the
general plan. We're not talking about any
specific uses for thes~ areas other than the
regional shopping center, and there we are
just talking about a regional shopping center
--we're not talking about how many department
stores, how many shoe stores, and so on and
so forth. On any motion that we would make
tonight, I think it would be clearly out of
order to so indicate. Just because it has
TBA up there, theatre and so on and so forth,
no way as indicated by the Council on the
General Plan, that will be what's going to be
there.
8m
Hobel Mr. Mayor, if I may, I would like to ask a
question of the Director of Public Works.
This refers to traffic. When you did your
traffic analysis and you obviously looked
at this map, did you do it on the basis of
looking at the shaded areas that are in
there - inside that road that ties into
H Street - such as the regional shopping
center, the other pink areas designated,
and what traffic they might generate?
Cole There was, I recall it, some counting taken
of the other uses other than just the
shopping center, but recognize that they
are relatively small percentage of the
total. But I can't precisely say that -
I would have to see just how much was
involved.
Egdahl I would recognize the staff's difficulty
in doing that - there are figures that
have been generated for regional shopping
centers-~p~r square foot would generate
so much traffic. The other uses are so
indefinite certainly not precise as we
just pointed out. I don't know how in the
world they could generate that...
Hobel Not precise, but the fact is they were on
the map. The map is to scale, and therefore,
they must have given some thought to it.
Hyde Well, Mr. Mayor, a question of Mr. Scott.
Is this your intent that professional office
facilities be allowed within this 80 acres
but %he specified amount would -- no amount
necessarily be specified at this time?
Scott No larger than schematically shown upon the...
(no mike)
Hyde Well, I get hung up on those spaces up
there. I'm afraid my perception will get
a.li%tle b~t distorted because in the first
place, the r~g~onal shopping center shows
1.2 million feet and I don't know what the
size of those other areas are insquare
footage, and I am concerned about the square
footage because of the traffic and all that,
and I just wonder about leaving the square
footage figure blank simply open and
the developer come in with proposals and
fight them on their merit.
Scott ...intent of the motion ....
(no mike)
Hyde Well that's already shot down so I'll abandon
that.
Mayor He said that no more than that be allowed.
Scott Yes. It could be less.
Mayor He set a limit on that like he did on the
shopping center.
Hyde If he limited it to just professional office
facilities...
Scott Well, I don't know...
Hobel In the motion that I supported, it said
750,000 square feet of regional shopping
center. That was the lid.
Scott What we're saying here is that we're setting
(no mike) a lid as far as the schematics is concerned,
~und Mr. Egdahl is concerned -even with the
schematics in scale, they might go up to
11 stories...
Egdahl Well, let me ask it in another way then,
Mr. Mayor. Let's take the sum total of the
square footage represented by the other small
pink b~.obs. Suppose a person puts up a four-
story building which takes up four equal
square footage dimensions. All that comes out
of the other pink blobs, or he can have this
much square footage on one level. He builds
two stories, he has to decrease the size
--the ground level size.
Scott I would say that I would go in for that on a
(no mike) two-story basis; I don't know what would be
best , one or two stories, as far as aesthetics
and good planning is concerned. I would
certainly put that limitation as far as
two stories... That would be an upper limit ....
Mayor I think that what Mr. Egdahl's question is
and I think what he is saying is if you place
the size of the building in one of the pink
squares over there, does that cover the square
footage or can they have that square footage
on each floor. I think what Mr. Scott's
saying is that the allowable, usable square
footage is that as indicated by those pink
squares, and it does not indicate up. If
it goes up, then each floor has to have its
own square footage - whenever you talk about
a building, if i% is 45,000 square feet, it
might be 10 x 45,10 stories high, but it still
has 45,000 square feet.
Egdahl O.K. are we talking then about ~he square
footage that can cover the ground, or the
square footage that can be built and occupied
as usage? The indefiniteness of the motion
that made me speak againt %he motion.
Scott If we said no more than two stories, it would
certainly - no more than up to two stories,
%hen no% necessarily two stories, it would
limit ~he ~quare footage and give some
flexibility. I can see some disadvantage of
all those being in one story. I would include
that as a...is that understandable?
Hyde It's understandable; but I wonder whether or
not it's what you want in the final analysis.
A four or five story office building nay be
a very intelligent thing.
Scott Of course, then what we're saying is that
you can combine them all %og~.ether.
Hyde No, I didn't mean that. I was think of one that
would be detached ...from %he...I'll go along
with the 750,000 square foot shopping center and
a professional office building of some limited
size. My hang-up is what's the limited square
footage of it - for the whole thing? Why don't
we pick an arbitrary figure subject to request
for change by the applicant - say, 50,000 square
8o
Hyde (cont'd) feet could be developed in professional office
facilities.
Scott I don't know what those are up there. Let's
do it this way. You know this thing is going
to go on forever - the way it always does -
if it isn't the Council, it's the planning
staff, so we might as well have it the Council
at this time.
Why don't I make a substitute motion and come
back as to what exactly is the square feet in
each of those squares and What's the square
footage for the entire, those schematics, and
at that time, we can address ourselves to that
question, as single story.
I would move that we bring this back next
week and find out exactly how much square
feet there out in those schematics (pink - or
blobs as they have been so gloringly
described this evening), and know exactly
what we're talking about.
Egdahl It sounds very much like a motion I made and
got no second on it. I'll second that.
asked
Scott YSu/for a parking study too, which is the
reason I didn't go for it.
Mayor We have a motion and a second. Under discussion.
Does the staff feel this can be accomplished
next Tuesday night by the Council, or do you
think we should have a Council Conference on
it?
Peterson No, I don't see why that couldn't be handled
easily next Tuesday.
Hobel Mr. Mayor, before I vote, I would like to ask
Mr. Peterson - now, do you feel that all the
other questions you raised have been answered?
Peterson Yes, I do.
Hyde No retail outside the shopping ¢~nter, right?
Peterson This is a substitute motion for that one, I
think.
Mayor That d~¢ision will be made next week.
Item carried.
