PUBLIC HEARING - Director of Planning Peterson submitted a CONSIDERATION ~ CHANGE OF plat noting the location of the property ZONE FOR 150' x 290' PARCEL (corner of Fourth and D Streets). The LOCATED NORTH OF "D" STREET, applicant, Assembly of God Church, Inc., APPROXIMATELY 150' EAST OF requested that a portion of their property FOURTH AVENUE FROM R-1 TO be rezoned from R-1 to R-3 to allow a pre- R-3-G-P school operation in an existing building. This is allowed by conditional use permit in an R-3 zone but not in an R-1 zone. The Planning Commission recommended the rezoning to R-3-G-P based on the following findings: (1) it would produce a more logical zoning boundary coincident with ownership lines; (2) the basic use of the property would remain the same thereby making it compatible with adjacent R-1 areas; (3) it conforms to the General Plan. Condition of approval Mr. Peterson noted the following condition recommended by the Planning Commission: "The Precise Plan for the property which would be required to be prepared under the R-3-D-P zone would designate the property for pre-school use." Zoning Wall In answer to Councilman Hobel's query, Director of Planning Peterson declared that a six-foot masonry zoning wall is required along the zone boundary line -- along the northern property line and eastern property line adjacent to the R-1 zone. The Council discussed the possibility of stipulating that the wall be extended along the western portion of the property as well. Public hearing oponed This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing. City Council Meeting 4 August 13, 1974 Howard Ryan Mr. Ryan stated he was taken by total sur- 381D Street prise as to the requirement of the wall. Up to this time, during talks with the Planning staff, the hearing at the Planning Commission, Fire Marshal and Building In- spector, this was never brought to his attention. Mr. Peterson remarked that they did not repeat all the requirements of the R-3 zone that apply when this zone is adjacent to an R-1 zone -- this is not normally done as part of the staff report. Director Peterson explained the provision of this section of the ordinance. Mr. Ryan claimed that they are put at a great disadvantage by not being apprised of this requirement. Councilman Scott suggested the matter be continued for one week so that the appli- cant would have a chance to look over the ramifications of the requirement. City Manager asked to Councilman Hyde suggested the City Manager review procedures review the City's processing procedures to see if, in fact, an oversight did occur and that steps be taken to prevent this in the future. Motion for one week's continuance It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Councilman ltobel and unanimously carried that the public hearing be continued for one week. Councilman Hobel asked, as part of the mo- tion, that the staff bring back information on similar requests such as the Lutheran Day School on Fifth Avenue and E Street. ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING MAP (Continued for one week) OR MAPS ESTABLISHED BY SECTION 33.401 OF THE CHULA VISTA CITY CODE, REZONING THAT CERTAIN PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF D STREET, APPROXIMATELY 150' EAST OF FOURTH AVENUE FROM R-1 TO R-3-G-P - FIRST READING PUBLIC HEARING - Mayor Hamilton asked Mr. Blakely if he CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL OF wished to have this item considered in view JACK BLAKELY OF THE PLANNING of the fact that only four Councilmen were COMMISSION'S DECISION DENYING present and it would take a 4/S vote of A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO the Council to override the Planning Com- INCLUDE BEER AND AMUSEMENT mission's decision. ENTERPRISES AS PART OF A PROPOSED RESTAURANT TO BE LOCATED AT 937 Mr. Blakely asked that the matter be heard. OTAY LAKES ROAD IN C-N ZONE Director of Planning Peterson submitted a plat noting the property in question and the proposed site plan. On July 24, 1974, a motion to approve the conditional use per- mit failed by a 2-2 vote of the Planning City Council Meeting 5 August 13, 1974 Commission. They stated that the proposed use which is to sell beer and have pinball machines, pool tables and other amusement enterprises would not be appropriate in such close proximity to a junior high school, a high school and the junior college. Mr. Peterson then reviewed the appeal statements as charged by Mr. Blakely, and remarked that the Planning staff recom- mended that the recreational aspect be eliminated. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing. Robert Blakely Mr. Blakely discussed his proposed restaurant 14S1 Laurel Avenue declaring that he was well aware of the law regarding alcoholic beverages for minors. He discussed the staff's report regarding the exceptions made for the Canyon Club and Scoreboard Inn also in the C-N zone. He declared that the Scoreboard Inn'is 1/5 of a mile from Rohr Elementary School and the Canyon Club is 1/4 of a mile from Halecrest Elementary School. His place of business will be 1/2 mile from Bonita Vista High School. Therefore, the Plan- ning Commission finding that his business would not be appropriate because of the close proximity to schools in the area is not sound. Mr. Blakely explained that he can see the reason for denying the horseshoe pits since it would be located outside the restaurant and that pinball machines make a lot of noise. He does propose, however, to have five (5) study booth5 in his establishment for the use of the college students. Mr. Blakely added that in lieu of the vote against the license itself, he would agree with the Council ("and come back and fight you later") that he would not have any pool tables in his business either -- it would be just the restaurant with the sale of beer. Leonard D. Reams Mr. Reams spoke in favor of the appeal, 3952 Glading Drive noting the personal recognition of Mr. San Diego Blakely's character. George Darke Mr. Darke favored the proposed business 2614 Caulfield Drive establishment, noting "Mr. Blake]y's fine reputation." Roger Bushong Mr. Bushong commented that he spent one 856 Country Club Drive and one-half years at Southwestern College and would have welcomed the opportunity of going over to such a restaurant to "have a cold beer while I studied" rather than having to study in a noisy student union hall. City Council Meeting 6 August 13, 1974 RECESS A recess was called at 8:23 p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 8:40 p.m. Lenny Jensen Mr. Jensen stated he was representing 153 938 Wayne Avenue homeowners living in the College Estates area who are concerned about this proposed establishment. They have reviewed the findings of the Planning Commission and support them. They are not against a family-type restaurant and the sale of beer incidental to the food. They are against the amusement enterprises and the hours of operation. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. Motion for approval of It was moved by Councilman Hyde that the sale of beverages only Council approve that portion of Mr. Blakely's request which provides for the sale of beverages only associated with the sale of meal~ subject to the conditions proposed but not adopted at the Planning Commission hearing on this subject. No second to motion The motion died for lack of second. Motion for approval to It was moved by Councilman Hobel that the include pool tables appeal be granted on the basis of the restaurant facility, including the sale of beer, and allowances made for the three pool tables as proposed with no type of pinball machines allowed. No second to motion The motion died for lack of second. Council discussion Councilman Scott commented that the problem was what to allow in a C-N zone. This is primarily a neighborhood commercial zone. Me asked if what is being discussed is a place where beer is served primarily, or a place where beer would be served inci- dental to the sale of food. He felt it was extremely important for the Council to control the neighborhood-commercial zone as it was never meant to be commercial per se -- it was meant to be for the con- venience of the neighbors, Motion to grant appeal It was moved by Mayor Hamilton and seconded based on recommendations by Councilman Hyde that the appeal be ap- proved based on the following staff recom- mendations: 1. The pool tables, pinball machines and horseshoe pits shall be eliminated from the plan. 2.Hours of operation shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. 3. Construction of the building shall be subject to separate site plan and architectural approval; plans for architecture and signs shall conform to the existing features in the center. City Council Meeting 7 August 13, 1974 4. An additional 42 parking spaces and associated landscaping shall be in- stalled in conjunction with construction of the new building. 5. The approval is granted subject to the continuing compliance with the performance standards of the Zoning Ordinance and on the continuing com- patibility of the establishment with the C-N zoned center and residential areas adjacent. Complaints with re- gard to the operation or violations shall be investigated and may provide cause for the Planning Commission to review this conditional use permit. No amusement facilities shall be in- cluded in the building without Planning Commission authorization. Discussion of motion Councilman Scott remarked that if this mo- tion is passed, it may be "leading the applicant down the wrong path," because he has stated that he will be coming back to the Council at a later date for the other uses. Councilman Scott asked the Council whether they were willing and ready, at a later date~ to reconsider granting the recreational facilities and changing the hours of the establishment. He felt the motion, as it was proposed, was not what the applicant wants, and perhaps in the long run, the applicant would be better off going somewhere else in the proper zone where he could have the establishment he really wants. In answer to the Council's questions, Mr. Blakely stated it was his right to come back to the Council at any time in the future to make any requests he so desires. He declared that he will make a business of a restaurant serving beer from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. Motion carried The motion to grant the appeal with the conditions carried unanimously, ADOPTION OF STATEMENT OF With the Council's permission, Mayor OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS Hamilton asked that the two items regarding IN CONNECTION WITH REZONING the Hillside Ordinance be moved up at this 18 PROPERTIES IN THE "H" time. MODIFIED DISTRICT It was moved by Mayor Hamilton~ seconded ORDINANCE NO. 1548 - by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE that the Overriding Considerations and TO CHANGE THE ZONING OF second reading of the Hillside Zoning Ordi- 18 PARCELS LYING IN THE nance be continued until such time as a HILLSIDE AREA TO THE EAST full Council is present. OF 1-805 - SECOND READING AND ADOPTION City Council Meeting 8 August 13, 1974 P~EPORT ON STREET LIGHTING - Mayor Hamilton moved this item uD on the COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE AREA agenda at this time. No objections were made by the Council. Based on the decision of the City Attorney, Councilman Hyde abstained from discussion and voting on this measure due to the fact that he lives in the area. City Attorney Lindberg ruled that Councilman Scott could vote on the issue. Director of Public Works Cole referred to his written report to the Council in which he reported that a meeting was held on July 25, 1974 with the residents of this area. A total of 43 out of the 124 properties in the area were represented and were presented the three alternates approved by the Council: 1. Install standard City street lights at a cost of $215 per property owner. City's cost: $13,000 2. Retain existing system and replace underground conduit at a cost of $263 to the property owner. City's cost is zero. 3. Replace underground conduit, retain existing poles but upgrade luminaires from 2500 lumen to 7,000 lumen. Cost to property owner would be $194.00 and the City's cost would be $12,000. Mr. Cole remarked that alternates 2 and 3 were not viable alternatives because of the lack of available parts to maintain the system. At the meeting of the residents, it was the unanimous decision of those attending to request that the City repair the under- ground conductors, retain existing poles and restore the street lights to their original level of illumination at no cost to the area residents. Mr. Cole discussed the City's responsi~lity for maintaining street lights comparing this with the operational procedures of San Diego. It was Mr. Cole's recommendation that: (1) the City maintain the lights as they now exist doing minimal amount of maintenance. If the lights go out because of conductor failure, the City would not attempt to replace the conductors; (2) if the lights become inoperable be- cause of the parts, the City would not attempt to replace them; (3) eventually, sufficient lights be installed to meet the City standards provided for in the majority of the City -- intersections and other locations where there might be a hazard. City Council Meeting 9 August 13, 1974 Comparison of similar problem Councilman Scott inquired as to the out- six years ago come of the situation which occurred ap- proximately six years ago. Mr. Cole noted that, in that particular case, the City spent $1,700 locating and repairing a short in the conduit. However, in this situation, the problem may be reoccurring, and the staff felt, that instead of continually putting money into this system, the City should do what is appropriate. Mr. Cole cited the figure of $5,000 to locate this particular problem. Council discussion Discussion ensued as to what should be done ultimately in this situation; what are the City's future plans for the inoperable lights as they occur; what should be the City's policy regarding street lights in the City as a whole when in years hence, parts would not be ob- tainable for other street lights in the City, Amortization of lights Mr. Cole suggested the Council direct the staff to amortize the lights through- out the City - this could be done by some form of district or appropriate means of funding the cost of replacement. Gas lights Mayor Hamilton asked about a conversion to gas lights. Mr. Cole explained that it would be a waste of energy since gas lights would have to be burning continually. Motion for approval of It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded staff recommendations by Mayor Hamilton that approval be given for the total number of lights including the alternate on San Miguel and Vista Way; that the City install these at City expense; that the existing system be main- tained as long as possible, at minimal expense, as sudgested by the Director of Public Works; at a later date, if the homeowners in that area want to form a District, the City will seek some coopera- tive arrangement with them. William Cory Mr. Cory declared that in the best residen- 9 "L" Street tim sections of Los Angeles and San Francisco, this type of street lights are maintained. }{e felt that the Council was not receiving adequate information on this issue~ Mr. Cory added that this particular situation was a job for the City electrician and not the Traffic Engineer who was sent out and "came up with all these ridiculous figures and made a big deal of this." He asked that if a conduit was needed, the City should put it in -- a more adequate type -- so that eventually all of it will be replaced and the illumination upgraded. Discussion of motion Councilman Hobel spoke against the motion, commenting that he felt the City should try to maintain the lights in that area. City Council Meeting 10 August 13, 1974 Motion failed The motion failed by the following vote, to-wit: Ayes: Councilmen Scott, Hamilton Noes: Councilman Hobel Absent: Councilman Egdahl Abstain: Councilman Hyde (A majority vote of the Council (3) is needed to pass a motion.) Motion to approve staff's It was moved by Councilman Hobel that recommendation approval be given to the staff's recom- mendation regarding the four major lights; that they get the other ones operational if possible; the City perform normal maintenance on that system to keep it operational as long as possible. No second to motion The motion died for lack of second.

That portion of the property facing Bonita Road will be utilized for a new church site and the upper portion at the end of Camino del Cerro Grande will be divided from the larger parcel and developed into two single-family residen- tial lots. In the processing of the parcel map, the County has stipulated certain conditions as to the improvement of the cul-de-sac at the foo~ of Camino del Cerro Grande and required that the one-foot strip be accepted by the City of Chula Vista.

The Commission recommended that (1) racket- ball courts be eliminated from all consi- deration until some future time; (2) a lighted softball field be constructed in lieu of tennis courts; (3) the City should explore a joint powers agreement with Southwestern College for lighting of the College's tennis courts, if the tennis courts are considered. City Manager Thomson stated that the staff favors lighting Gregg Rogers Senior Field as a "12-inch field" and developing City Council Meeting 14 August 13, 1974 Rie~stra's~ vacant portion by Max Field as a "16-inch field." Tony Tieber, Chairman Mr. Tieber declared it would be just as Parks and Recreation Commission expensive to construct racketball courts as tennis courts - approximately $20,000 each.
