ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Fred Drew Mr. Drew read a prepared statement in which
1278 Banner Avenue he stated he was speaking for the Chula Vista
Taxpayers' Association and "as a representa-
tive of the voting public." He "demanded"
that the question of building a public library
with the revenue sharing funds be submitted
to the voters on the November ballot.
Theodore Melton Mr. Melton requested a deferment of the instal-
441 James Court lation of the public improvements in front of
his property (441 James Court) as specified in
the lien agreement - Resolution No. 6819, ap-
proved on April 10, 1973.
In a report to the Council, Mr. Cole, Director
of Public Works, recommended that the balance
of the improvements on James Court be put in
at the same time as that to be constructed
between Second Avenue and Minor Avenue, north
of "E" Street, and that the Meltons be re-
quired to sign this petition. This would
give them 10 year5 in which to pay off the
cost of the improvements.
Property included in It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by
1911 Improvement Act Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that
Mr. Melton's property be included in the 1911
Improvement Act as recommended by the Public
Works Director.
Haro McGinnis Mr. McGinnis said he is Scoutmaster of Boy
78 Flower Street Scout Troop 890. He requested permission to
have his Scouts paint house numbers on curbs.
Permission granted It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded by
Councilman Scott and unanimously carried that
permission be granted subject to the coordina-
tion of the City Manager and his staff, and
also that the delineation of the areas to be
painted be defined.
Donald Cousino Mr. Cousino explained that he was before the
1660 Ithaca Street Council two and a half months ago concerning
property adjacent to the Southwestern College
Estates development. At that time, the Coun-
cil directed the staff to include this parcel
of land along with the consideration of the
18 parcels east of Interstate 805 on the
City Council Meeting 3 August 6, 1974
agenda tonight. Mr. Cousino noted that his
property, however, was not included in this
public hearing.
Councilman Egdahl commented that the direction
to the staff was to bring back their study of
the E1 Rancho del Ray project and the applica-
tion of the "H" District, and the Council would
consider this study along with the 20 parcels -
Mr. Cousino's property included.
Mr. Peterson, Director of Planning, stated
that the Planning Commission will hold a public
hearing on this matter on September 11, 1974.
Mr. Cousino then commented on the library
facility - asking that more consideration be
given to using the college and school libraries.
Mayor Hamilton remarked that a study of all of
the library facilities was made prior to Coun-
cil's action.
Mrs. Clyde Bushong Mrs. Bushong declared that the Council "was
856 Country Club Drive pushing on the library to the people of Chula
Vista that voted against it."
Mayor Hamilton noted the number of meetings
held by the Council prior to a vote on this
matter.
PUBLIC HEARING (CONTINUED) At the meeting of July 23, 1974, the Council
CONSIDERATION OF ESTAB- continued this public hearing and asked the
LISHING A 1911 IMPROVEMENT staff to poll the property owners within the
ACT DISTRICT, 1000 BLOCK District to see if they were in favor of in-
OF DEL MAR FROM NAPLES stalling street lights and undergrounding
STREET TO 650' NORTHERLY existing overhead utilities in conjunction
with the construction of street improvements.
Director of Public Works Cole reported that
the results of the survey were that out of
the 14 property owner5 (representing 16 par-
cels), thirteen replies were received. Thir-
teen (13) unanimously opposed undergrounding -
this represents 95.4% of the properties to be
assessed. Twelve (12) of the properties were
not in favor of installing street lights,
one (1) was in favor with one (1) no response.
Mr. Kenneth Goldkamp, Senior Civil Engineer,
noted the cost of the project ($42,000) and
further explained that the installation of the
street improvements includes the installation
of water facilities. Presently there is a
2" water main in Del Mar Avenue which is in-
adequate for providing ample water service and
fire protection. A newly-constructed apart-
ment building by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dashiell
(1080 Del Mar Avenue) requires that the exist-
ing 2" water main be replaced with a 6" water
main to provide an ample supply of water.
Because of the business rules for Cai-Am Water
Company regarding reimbursement of the cost of
the water main installation, Mr. Cole recommended
City Council Meeting 4 August 6, 1974
that the City advance the money for installing
60% of the water facilities and Mr. Dashiell
be responsible for advancing the remaining 40%.
This would be approximately $3~240 for the
City's participation and $2,160 for Mr. Dashiell.
Refunds to the City and to Mr. Dashiell will be
made in accordance with Section C-2 of the
main extension rule.
Council discussion A discussion was held regarding the repayment
of the money advanced, street lights on the
street, and whether this would be a precedent.
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised,
Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing.
Dan Norris Mr. Norris said he was speaking for a number
1055 Del Mar Avenue of the property owners on that street and re-
quested that the sidewalks be deleted until
such time as the rest of the street is developed.
Delbert J. Coty Mr. Coty explained that he owns parcels #35 and
677 Mission Court 36 in this block. He encouraged the Council to
vote in favor of the original intention.
Charles Dashiell Mr. Dashiell stated he was the originator of
(1080 Del Mar Avenue) the petition and owner of the large parcel of
property in the street. His participation
in the water line has nothing to do with the
1911 Act improvements.
Genevieve White Mrs. White remarked that she lives on the cor-
264 Naples Street net of that street and has already paid for
one sewer cost for Naples Street. She wondered
how this new assessment will affect her.
Mr. Goldkamp explained that her lot has front-
age upon Del Mar Avenue and in the future, when
redevelopment occurs, this parcel will require
sewer service possibly onto Del Mar Avenue.
The 1911 Act assessments are spread according
to the benefits derived by the properties.
Councilman Egdahl felt that if a property
owner has paid for sewer service one time he
shouldn't be charged again. At such time as
their property is sold for R-3 and requires
sewer hook-up to Naples, then at that time a
sewer connection charge or reimbursement for
the construction of sewer in Naples Street
should be made.
City Attorney Lindberg stated that this matter
should be considered at the time the assess-
ment figures are brought to the City Council
for consideration.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for
or against, the public hearing was declared
closed.
Councilman Egdahl remarked that in the levy-
ing of the assessments of the properties the
staff take this matter into consideration -
both for Mrs. White'* property and the property
that faces on Naples across Del Mar Avenue.

PUBLIC HEARING - Director of Planning Peterson explained that
CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE this is a City-initiated proposal to apply
OF ZONING FOR VARIOUS the provisions of the recently adopted Hill-
PROPERTIES EAST OF 1-805 side Modifying District to a total of 18 par-
BY ADDING THE "H" HILLSIDE cels lying east of 1-805 freeway in the
AND "P" PRECISE PLAN hillside area. In a written report to the
MODIFYING DISTRICTS Council, Mr. Peterson detailed the size,
location, general characteristics and recom-
mended zonings for each of the parcels in
this area.
City Council Meeting 6 August 6, 1974
On April 24, 1974, the Planning Commission
recommended that the Council enact the zone
changes as set forth in their resolution
(PCA-74-A), and that the County Assessor be
notified of this action - such notice to in-
clude each parcel by assessor map number,
acreage, previous zoning, new zoning, and the
maximum residential density and land grading
allowed under the new zoning.
Mr. Peterson added that it is the staff's
recommendation that the "P" designation (Pre-
cise Plan Modifying District) also be applied
to the 18 parcels under consideration.
Overriding Considerations Mr. Peterson recommended that prior to any
action rezoning the subject properties, that
the Council adopt the Statement of Overriding
Considerations as recommended by the Planning
Commission. Since this is not on the agenda
tonight, the Statement can be brought back to
the next meeting and the Council can act on
it prior to the second reading of the Ordinance.
Advantages to large Councilman Egdahl commented on the disadvantage
property owners of a small property owner who might have a
better average, in terms of developing his
property, if his property was averaged over
the whole as opposed to his own individual
piece of property.
Mr. Peterson agreed that the owners of the
large properties would have more of an oppor-
tunity to decide what areas can be developed
and those areas to be left undeveloped. How-
ever, he felt that the small property owners
would not be at a disadvantage because the
areas that would be left in open space would
be those areas that could not feasibly be
developed. Perhaps the small property owners
would enter into a joint effort with the large
property owners and develop their properties
this way.
Land Use Summary Chart In answer to the Mayor's query, Mr. Peterson
explained that the 629 figure arrived at for
the maximum number of dwellings permitted on
all parcels was based on the average of the
individual parcels using the R-1 designator
except in those cases where the staff recom-
mendation was for R-i-10.
"P" Precise Plan Councilman Scott questioned having both the
Modifying District "H" and "P" designation.
Mr. Peterson explained that just having the
"P" designator doesn't give the Council author-
ity to require reservation of open space.
Council discussion Discussion followed in which the staff and
Council discussed the "P" designation, the
PUD developments, economics of the develop-
ments, staff rationale for the recommendations,
the P-C zone and the legality of restricting
growth by this method ("H" and "P" Districts).
City Council Meeting 7 August 6, 1974
City Attorney Lindberg stated that, broadly
speaking, one can restrict growth by any type
of zoning. Whether or not this Hillside zoning
or any type of zoning is an unreasonable re-
striction of growth is based upon an examination
of each parcel on a case by case basis.
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised,
the Mayor declared the public hearing opened.
Lawrence Hermann Mr. Hermann stated he is one of the owners of
1830 West Oly~ic Boulevard parcel #1 - D&K Investments, Inc. They are
Los Angeles the developers of the San Simeon and other
homes in that area and have owned the property
for 15 years. Six years ago when they developed
the San Simeon tract, they had the option of
going into mass grading and developing this
parcel of land with 25 to 30 homes. They
chose instead to wait until access was avail-
able from "N" Street (from the bottom) and
develop the property with 1S homes. With the
application of the "H" and "P" modifiers, it
would limit them to 7 lots which they feel is
a "tragedy" as the economics of the develop-
ment would be adversely affected.
Letter of opposition The City Clerk noted the letter of protest
received from Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Bennett,
Telegraph Canyon Road.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for
or against, the hearing was declared closed.
Council discussion Council discussion followed in which each of
the Councilmen discussed his reasons for
favoring or opposing the consideration of the
"H" and "P" Districts.
Councilman Hyde remarked that Mr. Shattuck,
developer of the Holderness property, specif-
ically asked for the R-1-H-P designation;
Councilman Scott noted that in applying the
"P" designator a developer can come in with
a plan that would take into consideration
individual problems on the individual prop-
erties; Mayor Hamilton spoke against the
proposal stating the Hillside ordinance has
social as well as economic impacts; Council-
man Hobel agreed adding that Iow-cost housing
in Chula Vista would be nonexistent.
ORDINANCE NO. 1548 - It was moved by Councilman Egdahl that this
AMENDING ZONING MAP OR ordinance be placed on first reading and that
MAPS ESTABLISHED BY the reading of the text be waived by unanimous
SECTION 33.401 OF THE consent.

REPORT OF BICENTENNIAL Mayor Hamilton asked that this item he moved
ENERGY CO~ITTEE ON up on the agenda and considered at this time.
RECOMMENDATION REGARDING No objections were voiced by the Council.
INSULATION
Sid Cornell, Chairman Mr. Cornell discussed the meeting held on
Bicentennial Committee June 21, 1974 which brought together people
from all phases of energy production to ex-
plore the idea of developing the greater
San Diego-Imperial area as a National Research
Center area. One of the ideas that came forth
was in the field of conservation of energy -
the insulation of homes and buildings.
Robert Foster Mr. Foster discussed Senate Bill 277 which
Committee Consultant required all residential buildings in the
Senate Public Utilities and State of California to be adequately insulated
Corporations Committee to standards dra~n by the Housing of Community
Sacramento Development Department by February 1974. The
The standards took one year to develop, were
adopted on February 22, and the Bill will be-
come effective on February 22, 1975.
Senate Bill 1523 requires all the attics of
existing homes to be insulated to the same
standards as that required for the new homes
upon the sale of the homes.
Under this Bill, the County Recorder could
not record title unless a Certificate of In-
sulation was given to him by a licensed con-
tractor, as defined in the Bill.
Senate Bill 1522 requires attic fans to be
installed in all new homes that are air con-
ditioned.
Mr. Foster suggested the Council pass an
ordinance which would require the homes in
this City to be insulated either upon their
sale, or by a certain time, before the Bill
becomes mandatory. He also suggested the
Council include the commercial and industrial
buildings.
City Council Meeting 9 August 6, 1974
Bob Nelson Mr. Nelson said he worked with the State Com-
San Diego Gas and Electric Co. mittee that developed the standards Mr. Foster
discussed (R-19). He noted that there are
16,100 homes in Chula Vista, 90% of which use
gas for heating. If half of the homes were
insulated enough gas could be saved to supply
another 1,000 homes with all the gas they need
from that date forward.
Mr. Nelson asked the Council to pass a resolu-
tion asking the citizens to insulate their
homes to the R-19 standards, stating that they
(Council) are in favor of this and want Chula
Vista to become the best insulated city in the
world. As an example of good faith, the Coun-
cil could direct that the public buildings be
insulated.
Emil Porro, Manager Mr. Porto spoke of the severe gas shortage that
Energy Environmental Science will start in 1975. He encouraged the Council
Division to go into this program of energy conservation.
Science Applications Mr. Porto pointed out that by 1978 there will
La Jolla be no regular noninterruptible natural gas
available for industry in this area if new
sources are not found.

oped within the City which he explained repre-
sents over 32,000 lineal feet of sidewalk with
a gradient of just over 5% up to a maximum of
17.2% on a private street serving a PUD. He

AND MINOT AVENUES AND were in favor of installing street lights and
BETWEEN "D" AND "E" underground utilities in conjunction with the
STREETS construction of street improvements.
Director of Public Works Cole reported that
staff investigation determined that there
are no existing overhead facilities on this
proposed street. The residences fronting
upon the street have underground utilities.
Because of these existing conditions and cer-
tain utilities companies' rules, the staff
felt it was not necessary to poll the property
Mr. Cole then noted the boundaries of the
area and the petition signed by 60.18% of the
property owners requesting the installation
of the street improvements.

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
REPORT ON LOCAL BUSINESS Director of Planning Peterson reported that
LOGES ON FREEWAY INTER- the California Department of Transportation
SECTION SIGNS made a study of permitting the placement of
business loges on freeway signs. The Depart-
ment decided not to allow such signs within
the freeway right-of-way based on the fact
that (1) similar systems employed by the east
coast were not effective in generating more
business, and (2) the system involves some
administrative difficulties in determining
which businesses could be identified.
Report accepted It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman Egdahl and unanimously carried
that the report be accepted.
City Council Meeting 12 August 6, 1974
REPORT ON INCREASED In a written report to the Council, Director
TRAFFIC ON SECOND AVENUE of Planning Peterson reported that on June 26,
1974 the Planning Commission requested that
the Council ask the State Department of Trans-
portation to change the traffic sign on State
Highway 54 just east of Edgemere in order to
reduce traffic on Edgemere Drive/Second Avenue.
Mr. Peterson analyzed the traffic situation on
this street reviewing several alternate pro-
posals. It was his recommendation that the
matter be referred to the State Department of
Transportation for further study.
Peter Watry Mr. Watry stated that due to this realignment
81 Second Avenue and diverting the traffic onto Second Avenue,
two problems have arisen: (1) volume of traf-
fic increased and (2) speeding. He suggested
some form of control be installed, such as a
flashing yellow light to reduce the speeding.
Report accepted It was moved by Mayor Hamilton, seconded by
Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried that
the report be accepted and the City Manager
be directed to work with the Chief of Po]ice
in trying to control the speed, and to check
the speed periodically on Second Avenue.
REPORT ON LANDSCAPING Director of Planning Peterson discussed the
OF CITY-OWNED PROPERTIES present landscaping around the Civic Center
and the Council's indication that landscaping
around City-owned buildings should be done

facilities. Mr. Peterson submitted a written
statement of this policy asking that it be
incorporated in the Policy Manual.
Report accepted It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded by
Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that
the policy be adopted.
