ant Director of Planning Williams was present.

City Council Meeting 2 November 5, 1974
acceptable to Chula Vista. ~e Port Commis-
sioners have recommended light commercial
and perhaps light industry for that property,
and also a buffer zone between that and the
residential zone.

the west side of tbe "J" Street ramp at

a portion of this area will be for parking
but only if the demand is there. Councilman
Egdahl suggested it be developed with fire
rings and a picnic area.

articles concerning the National Steel and
Shipbuilding Company. Mr. Campbell com-
mented that they discussed expansion plans
with the Port District but it was related

consideration of the northwest corner of the

RESOLUTION NO. 7506 - /he original Planned Unit Development area
APPROVING PLANNED UNIT "A" of E1 Rancho del Rey approved in July 1971
DEVELOPMENT PUD-74-3 FOR designated 180 townhouses for that area im-
ENCORE BONITA ESTATES mediately south of "H" Street and west of
Southwestern College. Larwin-San Diego
filed a tentative map in August 1972 for the
townhouses; however, they have since deter-
mined that this use is not marketable and
now wish to change the housing concept from
attached townhouses to detached houses on
individual lots. The change requires an
amendment to the original PUD plan.
Director of Planning Peterson submitted a
written report of the request stating that
it is consistent with the General Plan and
concurred with the Planning Commission recom-
mendation to approve the PUC.
Resolution offered Offered by Councilman Hyde, the reading of the
text was waived by unanimous consent, passed
and adopted by the following vote, to-wit:
AYES: Councilmen Hyde, Egdahl, Scott,
Hobel, Hamilton

MENT DATED NOVEMBER 20, 1975 of office area, 579 square feet of work
area, 3,946 square feet of kennel area and
400 square feet of service yard. The archi-
tect's estimated cost is $133,772; however,
this does not take into account the $6,000
for grading. The total estimated cost,
therefore, is $140,000 which includes over-
head and contingencies.
Resolution offered Offered by Councilman Hyde, the reading of
the text was waived by unanimous consent,
passed and adopted by the following vote,
to-wit:
AYES: Councilmen Hyde, Egdahl, Scott,
Hobel, Hamilton
Noes: None
Absent: None
RESOLUTION NO. 7508 - The subdivision is located immediately
APPROVING THE TENTATIVE south of "ti" Street and west of Southwestern
MAP OF A SUBDIVISION TO BE College. The applicant proposes to resub-
KNOWN AS ENCORE BONITA divide the 22.2 acre project into 96 single
ESTATES, PCS-74-6 family lots and retain eight town}louse lots,
thereby reducing the number of units from
lg0 to 104.
The Planning Commission recommended approval
subject to the fifteen conditions listed
in its letter of October 28, 1974.
DeVere Anderson Mr. Anderson said he was representing Larwin
1701 Mission Center Court Corporation. They purchased the property
San Diego one year ago with the intention of developing
the area in townhouses and in this respect,
built a $130,000 recreational area. However,
only five units were sold - the market wa5
not there; therefore, they are requesting
the change to the single-family lots. Mr.
Anderson showed the Council a slide presenta-
tion of the area and development in question.
Rolled curbs Mr. Anderson declared that his firm is con-
cerned with the condition not allowing the
rolled curbs and converting these into verti-
cal curbs. Because of the uniqueness of the
development, they are requesting that they
be allowed to retain the rolled curbs -- it
would cost approximately $37,000 to recon-
struct the curbs to vertical ones.
As a compromise, Mr. Anderson submitted
another map showing rolled and vertical
curbs in the proposed subdivision for which
they ask approval.
City Council Meeting 5 November 5, 1974
Park credit A second point for Council consideration is
for park credit. According to the ordinance,
they were obliged to dedicate 57,970 square
feet of park land (322 square feet x 180
units). This was met. With the proposed
reduction to 104 units, they would only be
required to dedicate 33,488 square feet of
park land area, or a difference now of
24,472 square feet. An improved park land
costs $31,000 per acre; therefore, Larwin
is entitled to .56 acres x $31,000 or
$17,412. They are requesting this cash
refund or a credit of .56 acres on any
future development in this City.
Staff's response to park Director of Planning Peterson explained that
land credit Larwin purchased finished lots and the
existing park land area in that development
was dedicated and improved by Otay Land
Company as part of the overall PUD. It is
Larwin's own choice to switch to a lower
density; therefore, it could be a precedent
whereby the City would be asked to refund
money and/or park land whenever a developer
changed his mind.
Rolled curbs Mr. Peterson stated that the condition for
vertical curbs was based on safety and
drainage. Having rolled curbs encourages
cars to mount the curbs and park on the
sidewalks.
Council discussion A lengthy discussion ensued as to the merits
of rolled and vertical curbs.
Mixed housing Councilman Hyde commented that this is a
change to the P-C zone and that zone was
designed to provide a mix of single family
and apartment-type residences properly
planned on a long-range basis. Nothing has
been said to justify the change other than
economics. Councilman Hyde added that if
Council determines a course of action on
planning, especially in a Planned Community,
upon the vagaries of the market conditions,
then it will lose the value of long-range
planning.
Motion not to approve It was moved by Councilman Hyde and seconded
resolution by Councilman Scott not to approve the reso-
lution.
Mayor Hamilton questioned the action of the
resolution, con~nenting that for the past year,
the Council has had reservations concerning
this P-C zone and referred it back to the
Planning staff and Commission for change.
Tonight, the comments are to keep the P-C zone
as originally proposed.
Legal point Assistant City Attorney Beam stated that if
the Council wishes to take any alternate
action on the tentative map, it should first
rescind the action taken approving the PUD
site Dian. As to the tentative map, the
Council has discretion under the Subdivision
Map Act to deny a tentative map.
City Council Meeting 6 November 5, 1974
RECESS A recess was called at 8;23 p.m. and the
meeting reconvened at 8;38 p~m.
Provisions of Map Act Assistant City Attorney Beam explained that
the Subdivision Map Act provides that a
go~er~ing body may deny a tentative map
subject to the following findings:
1. The proposed map is not consistent with
the applicable general er specific plan.
2. The design or improvements of the pro-
posed subdivision is not consistent
with the applicable general or specific
plan.
3. The site is not suitable for this type
of development by virtue of topography
and geographical conditions~
4. The site is not suitable for the proposed
density of the development.
Attorney Beam suggested the Council refer
the matter to the Planning staff to report
on the concern of the housing mix as it
pertains to the City's General Plan.
Precise Plan Council discussion followed concerning
the application of the precise plan which
calls for attached single-family dwelling
units in this particular area of the P-C.
Councilman Hyde noted this request was a
deviation from that.
Motion withdrawn Councilman Hyde withdrew his motion; Coun-
cilman Scott withdrew his second.
Motion to rescind Resolution It was moved by Councilman Hyde and seconded
by Councilman Scott to rescind the action
taken in approving the Resolution for Planned
Unit Development Site Plan, PUD-73-3
Encore Bonita Estates.
Councilman Egdahl asked that the two
Amendment to motion resolutions (approving the PUD and the tenta-
tive map) be referred to the staff for a
report at the next Council meeting for the
procedure steps,
Councilman Hyde said he would offer this
as a second motion.
Devere Anderson Mr. Anderson commented that there was
nothing they would like better then to con-
struct the townhouses; however, the market
is not there and it would be economically
impossible for then to wait until the market
opens up. Presently, it costs $13,500 a
month "to sit on that property." If
they had to wait from eight months to eight-
teen months for the market to generate,
the market value would increase to such a
point that it would not be economically
feasible to develop this project.
City Council Meeting 7 November 5, 1974
Subsfitutemotion It was moved by Councilman Egdahl that the
staff be directed to bring back to the Council,
at some time in the near future, recommenda-
tions as to how to avoid getting into the
problems of dealing with this on a piece-
meal basis.
No second to motion The motion died for lack of second.
Original motion fails The motion to rescind the resolution approving
the PUD site plan failed by the following
vote, to-wit:
Ayes: Councilmen Scott, Hyde
NOES: Councilmen Hobel, Hamilton, Egdahl
Absent: None
Resolution offered to Offered by Councilman Egdahl. approve the tentative map
Speaking against motion Councilman Scott felt this should go to the
staff to look into the ramifications as to
whether or not the proposal was good in view
of the overall planning.
Councilman Hyde commented that the proposal
was "a step backward" and no justification
was given for this change from planning stand-
point.
Motion failed The motion for the Resolution approving the
tentative map failed by the following vote,
to-wit:
Ayes: Councilman Egdahl
NOES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hamilton,
ltyde
Absent: None
Resolution offered Offered by Mayor Hamilton, with the following
with modification amendment: the map be approved with the
suggested amendment of the roiled and
vertical curbs (Map #2 as submitted by
Larwin Corporation) and that they not be
given any credit for the park land, the
reading of the text was waived by unanimous
Comments by Director Mr. Cole remarked that the alternate proposal
of Public Works (for rolled and vertical curbs) was an appro-
priate compromise. He noted that (1) there
was no delineation in roiled curbs as to
where a driveway starts and stops; (2)
rolled curbs carry very little water and
usually ends with faster deterioration of
the asphalt next to rolled curbs; (3)
it is easier for a street sweeper to clean
the streets having vertical curbs.
Motion carried The motion approving the tentative map
subject to he amendment carried by the
following vote, to-wit:
AYES: Councilmen Hamilton, Scott, Hobel
Noes: Councilmen Hyde, Egdahl

this intersection's need for traffic signals
relative to all other intersections in the
City.
City Council Meeting 10 November 5, 1974
Report accepted It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman Hobel and unanimosuly carried

}dAYOR"S REPORT
Laws regarding Mayor Hamilton commented that the Council
property purchases supports the action of the City Manager in
asking for an amendment to the laws enhancing
municipal flexibility in property purchases
and public improvement installations so that
the Council can contact the legislators.
Mayor Hamilton asked that the City Attorney
proceed on this matter as soon as possible.
Downtown Exchange Mayor Hamilton recommended that a staff member
Conference attend the Conference and asked the City
Manager to make this recommendation.
Council Conference -- Withne concurrence of the Council, Mayor
American Legion Hmailton directed that a Council Conference
be scheduled for Wednesday, November 13, 1974
at 4:00 p.m. in the Council Conference Room,
and asked the City Clerk to notify the
American Legion.
Executive Session It was moved by Mayor Hamilton, seconded by
Councilman Egdahl and unanimously carried
that an Executive Session be called at the
close of the business meeting for personnel
reasons and pending litigation.
Schedule of December It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
meetings by Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried
that no meetings be held on December 24 and
31.
Park sites west of Councilman Scott discussed park sites in this
Broadway area and proposed that the staff look into
the possiblity and feasibility of purchasing
property next to Mueller School - how much
will it cost and what arrangement would
have to be done. Another area is the Feaster
School site. The Council should have some
discussion with the school district for the
possibility of buying two acres and get the
fee simple of that property leasing it back
to the school district with the objective
that if that is sold, the City will have a
park site.
Motion for staff report It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried
that the staff be directed to look into
both options for park land west of Broadway,
as to feasibility and probability.
City Council Meeting 11 November 5, 1974
Status report on "J" Councilman Hobel asked for a status report on
Street project the "J" Street project - Third Avenue to
Broadway.
Director of Public Works Cole declared that
the City Attorney has been trying to contact
the contractor's attorney about this matter.
The staff's proposal is to get them to
release the City from any possible damage
to the facility (due to rains, otc).
Assistan~City Attorney Beam indicated this
shouldbe discussed in Executive Session.
Painted bus Councilman Hobel asked the City Manager for
a report as to when the City can expect
to see the new red-white-and-blue buses.
Mini buses Councilman Scott questioned if it would be
possible to cancel the present order for
the two large buses and purchase two mini-
buses instead.
Councilman Hobel commented that it may be
possible to purchase the buses from'San
Diego Transit.
Post Office Traffic Councilman ltyde asked for the staff's report
concerning the traffic problem at the Post
Office. He mentioned that Christmas is nearly
here which compounds this problem.
Director of Public Works Cole reported that
the Postmaster has indicated they have no
money to revise this parking layout. They
did remove the bumpers which provides 4 more feet of
aisle space.. The plan as proposed by the
staff was not acceptable because it involved
circulation around the back of the Post Office
building and intermingled with their trucks.
Motion for staff report It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded
by Mayor Hamilton and unanimously oarried
that the staff present to the Council its
plan and where it stands, and then the
Council will consider any further action it
can take as a community to press for a better
solution for the Post Office. The report
is due next week -- at the Council Conference
scheduled for November 13, 1974.
Appointments to Commissions Councilman Hyde asked that the Council make
any appointments necessary to fill the
vacancies existing in some of the boards
and commissions within the next two weeks.
Bus Tour Councilman Hyde asked for a tentative date
for the next bus tour. Councilman Scott
commen~ed[ that the staff usually calls the
Council for an agreeable date.
City Council Meeting 12 November 5, 1974
P-C Zone Councilman Hyde commented on the motion made
earlier by Couhcilman Egdahl to get the
staff to come up with some action to reduce
or eliminate the "chipping away" of the
Planned Community. He stated that there
is a precise plan for a portion of this
commuMty already approved, and he hoped
it was the concensus of the Council to be
very hesitant to make any changes in it.
Councilman Hyde asked that the Planning
staff and Planning Commission keep this
in consideration when they get further
requests for modifications.
