Items moved up on agenda It was moved by Mayor Hamilton, seconded by
Councilman Egdahl and unanimously carried
that the following items be moved up on the
agenda (in the following order):
7. Report on commercial zoning at Otay
Lakes Road and "H" Street
11. Report on Planning Commission action
for an International Airport at Brown
Field
26. Report on SDG&E request for sewer
capacity right in Metro Sewer System
27. Reconsideration of South Bay Judicial
District
REPORT ON COMMERCIAL ZONING On April 23, 1974, the City Council placed a
IN THE VICINITY OF OTAY moratorium on the issuance of building permits
LAKES ROAD AND "H" STREET on 19 acres of commercial property located at
the intersection of Otay Lakes Road and "H"
Street. The moratorium expires on July 2,
1974 and was adopted to give the Planning
staff the opportunity to study the surround-
ing area and determine the projected need
for neighborhood shopping facilities.
Director of Planning Peterson recommended that
(1) the moratorium be lifted and the develop-
ment of a neighborhood shopping center on
the 8-acre property at the corner of Otay
Lakes Road and "H" Street be permitted;
(2) the moratorium on the Il-acre parcel be
extended to September 11, 1974 and referred
to the Planning Commission for consideration
of rezoning it to P-C utilizing the guide-
lines as delineated in the Planning Director's
written report to the Council; (3) refer
to the Planning Commission the question of
proper zoning on the C-N zone at Otay Lakes
Road and Gotham Street with the suggestion
that the Commission consider'R-3-G zoning on
the undeveloped portion.
Mr. Peterson submitted a plat noting the zoning
in the area: 8-acre parcel zoned P-C and
the northerly il-acre parcel zoned C-T. The
Planning Commission approved the Environmental
Impact Report on the 8~acre parcel for a shop-
ping center; the staff feels this is a pre-
ferred location in terms of accessibility.
The staff ha~ been working with the developer
on the refinement of a development plan and
has expressed some dissatisfaction concerning
building locations and vehicle access. The
City Council Meeting 3 June 18, 1974
staff suggested that the developer go into a
joint venture with the owners of the il-acre
property to the north for th~ use of some
portion of that property for commercial
purposes,
Michael Thorsnes Mr. Thorsnes: stated he is representing the
Higgs, Fletcher & Mack owners of the property (Il-acre parcel). Mr.
1700 Home Tower Building Thorsnes~discussed the staff report which
San Diego indicated that the C-T zone on this property
was not appropriate, He declared that the
area is adjacent to a thoroughfare and there-
fore would fall into uses designed for thor-
oughfare traffic, He remarked that he has
tried to communicate with the owners of the
8-acre parcel on several occasions but has had
no response. Mr. Thorsnes then presented
several letters of intent which he stated
supported their position that there is a
market on which to warrant commercial zoning
on their property. He added that there has
to be a showing of emergency on which to impose
a moratorium and this has not been the case
here.
City Attorney's opinion Mr. Lindberg clarified the following points:
(1) the moratorium was imposed within the
limitations set by the State Planning Act;
(2) the P-C zone is not a "no" zone -- it
is a zone that indicates certain uses allowed
in an ~ in accordance with a General Plan
which is then followed by a Precise Plan.
Planning Director's comments Mr. Peterson commented that the records show
that 10 years ago, Mr. Norman, owner of this
property, told the Council he was ready to
develop "right now." Director Peterson added
that if his recommendations wer~ accepted,
he would anticipate that the Planning Commis-
sion would recommend B-C zoning on the il-acre
parcel and he would then get together with
the owners of the 8-acre parcel and with
Mr. Norman and Mr. Ashwil] to work out a
plan for the two properties that would combine
some commercial uses, some C-T, and multiple
family uses.
Motion to accept recommendations It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded
by Councilman Hyde that the recommendations
of the staff be accepted.
Council discussion Councilman Scott stated that the problem that
needs to be resolved first is the amount of
commercial development needed in that area --
determine this first and zone it to that --
then let a plan be developed on that property.
Councilman Scott agreed with Councilman Egdahl
that the entire property should be put into
the P-C zone and treated as one package.
Council discussion ensued as to the merits of
lifting the moratorium on one parcel and con-
tinuing it on the other~
Amendment to motion Councilman EgdahI amended the motion to delete
#] on the ~taff recommendations: "Lift the
moratorium and permit the development of a
neighborhood shopping center on the g-acre
City Council Meeting 4 June 18, 1974
property located at the corner of 0ray Lakes
Road and I~H[ Street,u This is to be continued
in accordance ~th recommendation #2 (extend
moratorium to September 11, 1974).
Motion carried The motion carried by the following vote,
to~witl
AYESI Councilmen Egdahl, Scott, Hobel, Hyde
Noes; Mayor Hamilton
Absentl None
Motion for staff direction It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by
Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried that
the staff be directed to work with both parties
involved in an active fashion, to the extent
appropriate, to try to get this thing resolved
before the September hearing.
Councilman Hobel asked that the motion include
having the staff come back in thirty days
with an interim report.
Councilman Hyde included this statement in
his motion; Councilman Hobel agreed to the
second and the motion carried unanimously.
REPORT ON PLANNING CO~qlSSION On June 4, 1974, the City Council referred
ACTION FOR PROPOSAL FOR AN this proposal to the Environmental Control
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN ~0mm{ss{~n and the Planning Commission for
THE VICINITY OF BROWN FIELD report and recommendation. Both Commissions
recommended that the Council oppose the
proposal.
Council discussion Mayor Hamilton noted the SANPAT public hearing
which will be held at Montgomery High School
on June 24, 1974.
Councilman Hobel felt it was premature for
this Council to take any action on this pro-
posal prior to the public hearings.
Speaking in opposition Speaking in opposition to the proposal were:
Peter Watry, 81 Second Avenue; Reva Lynch,
626 Date Avenue; Kathryn Moore, 1134 Tobias
Drive; Eugene Coleman, 1670 Gotham Street;
Clinton Owen, 242 Sea Vale Street. Their
reasons were: (1) impact it would have on
Chula Vista and surrounding communities; (2)
loss of quality of life enjoyed in this City;
(3) air pollution; (4) noise factor; (5) traffic
generation; (6) San Diego would reap the finan-
cial benefits and Chula Vista would just
get increased housing; (7) question of what
will happen to Lindberg Field if this proposal
is accepted; (8) population increase will re-
suit in a demand for more public services such
as power, water, streets, etc.; (9) increase
the hazards of the safety and health factors
of the community.
Ernest Arnold, 897 Beech Street, commented
that he attended the public hearing in Carlsbad
and urged anyone planning to attend the meeting
on the 24th to get there early, pick up the
information newsletter printed by CPO and study
the alternative layouts. Mr, Arnold urged the
Council to take no action on this matter until
after July 15 (after public hearings are held).
City Council Meeting 5 June 18, 1974
Motion to sustain Commissions~ It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and
recommendations seconded by Councilman Scott that the
Council sustain the findings of the Environ-
mental Control Commission and the Planning
Commission and Voice its concerns and ob-
jections regarding the considerations of
the airport site (at the Brown Field loca-
tion).
Findings to be included Mayor Hamilton asked that the findings of
the Planning Commission and the Environmental
Control Commission be read into the record
of the public hearing (June 24) and also the
staff report, particularly with its findings.
Councilman Egdahl included this in his mo-
tion; Councilman Scott accepted the second.
Discussion of motion In answer to Councilman Hobel's question,
Director of Planning Peterson explained that
most of the research done in his report came
from information obtained from CPO, along
with some staff independent research.
Substitute motion It was moved by Councilman Hyde that this
Council go on record, on the basis of the
information it has at the present time,
opposing the idea of the creation of a
national airport in the San Diego Metro-
politan area.
No second to motion The motion died for lack of second.
Councilman Hobel remarked that as a member
of the regional body, it would be a courtesy
to withhold the strong position that this
motion implies. There isn't another city
that has taken a position -- all are willing
to wait until after the public hearings.
Further discussion Further discussions were held concerning
the position of the Council in this matter.
Councilman Hyde indicated he would like to
see the staff position strengthened. No-
where in the report is the statement that
San Diego County is faced with acute urban
growth and that an intonational airport will
grossly &~gravat~ that situation. Councilman
Hyde added that he would like to see this
stated as a basis for the Council's opinion.
Motion carried The motion, as amended, (sustain recommenda-
tions of Planning and Environmental Control
Commissions and include staff report at
public hearing) carried by the following
vote, to-wit:
AYES: Councilmen Egdahl, Scott, Hamilton,
Hyde
Noes: Councilman Hbbel
Absentl None
Staff to prepare r~port and Mayor Hamilton directed the City Manager to
represent City at public hearing draft the City's position and that he select
someone he feels would be most effective in
presenting the viewpoint of Chula Vista at
the public hearing to be held on the 24th
of June.
City Council Meeting 6 June 18, 1974
REPORT ON SAN DIEGO GAS City Atto~ne~ Lindherg requested that the
& ELECTRIC COMPANY'S matter be held over for one week.
REQUEST FOR SEWER CAPACITY
RIGHT IN METRO SEWER SYSTEM
Item continued It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded
by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried
that the report be continued for one week.
RECONSIDERATION OF SOUTH City Attorney Lindberg explained the history
BAY JUDICIAL DISTRICT of this proposal, This matter has been re-
opened because representatives of the San
Diego County Bar Association and from the
Municipal Court Bench indicated that they
feel the best way to achieve this is not to
proceed along the lines of Assemblyman
Deddeh~s Bill in the creation of a new South
Bay Judicial District and a Constitutional
Amendment which would allow the inclusion
of the San Ysidro area in such a district,
but rather to push forward with the establish-
ment of appropriate facilities and the funding
of such.
Mr. Lindberg stated it was his feeling that
unless there can be assurances of the crea-
tion of the facilities here, he would prefer
that we stay within the framework of the
San Diego Judicial District.
Councilman Egdahl's opinion Councilman Egdahl discussed the various rea-
sons for remaining the San Diego District.
Under the Deddeh Bill, the problem of pro-
viding a courtroom facility would still be
prevalent.
Council discussion Councilman Scott commented that when this
was first brought up seven or eight years
ago, the Council asked for written assurances
that there would be full-time Court facilities
in the South Bay; however, the assurances
were not given, but promises were made by
the San Diego District.
Councilman Egdahl remarked that the City
would not get these written assurances as
it was a political decision. He felt the
Council should urge the Board of Supervisors
to provide these facilities in the South BBy,
and that as a temporary measure, the Board
of Sup~r~isor~ lease a facility in the South
Bay (possibly the post office building) and
make use of this building as a South Bay
Court facility for three judges and ~nci]larK
facilities. Also, that the Board of Supervisors
pursue the construction of a permanent
facility somewhere in the South Bay.
John McGuane Attorney McGuane, representing the South Bay
Acacia Drive, Bonita Bar Association, spoke in support of Assem-
blyman Deddeh's Bill, This Bill has passed
by a large majority of the Assembly and is
now in the ,~sat~ and assured of passage.
The Constitutional Amendment has also passed
the Assembly and on its way to passage in
the Senate, Mr. McGuane spoke of the
vantages of having the District and noted
City Council Meeting 7 June 18, 1974
that the Sa~ D~ego Bar A~ociation did not
oppose the Deddeh Bill~ A letter came out
ove~ the signature of the ~resident of the
Association~ but tki$ did not reflect the
action o£ the Board of Directors.
Robert Steiner Mr, Steiner spoke in favor of Councilman
55 "I" Street Egdahl% motion and in opposition to Assembly-
Chula Vista man Deddeh~s Bill. He commented that anyone
has a right to have his case tried at the
District seat and therefore all major criminal
and civil trials are held there. Mr. Steiner
explained that he has been involved in court
reorganization and reform for many years,
and he can say, without any contradiction,
that San Diego has the finest Clerk's office
in the State and the most innovative Court
Bench in the State. As a taxpayer, Mr.
Steiner spoke of the costs involved in staff-
ing a court facility in this area.
Paul Legler Mr. Legler, representing the Legislative
Chamber of Commerce Committee of the Chamber, reported that the
County Board of Supervisors has endorsed
Deddeh's Bill in total. The Deddeh Bill
authorizes three judges down here, and with
this Bill, South Bay stands a better chance
of getting a court facility instead of
waiting for the "whim" of the San Diego
Judicial Council.
Council position reaffirmed It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded
by Councilman Hyde that the Council reaffirm
its position taken previously in supporting
the Deddeh Bill.
Motion carried The motion carried by the following vote,

AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hamilton,
Hyde
Noes: Councilman Egdahl

undeveloped, Director of Planning Peterson
remarked that under the R~i~H-P zoning, the
applicant would be allowed 125 dwelling units
with 10.4 acres of open space.
The Planning Commission recommended approval
of the rezoning of this property to R-l-H;
Director of Planning Peterson concurred,
further recommending the addition of the "P"

Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing.
J. R. Shattuck Mr. Shattuck noted that in 1972, under a
6150 Mission Gorge Road single family residential development, he
San Diego proposed construction of 171 lots. ~?s

the present ordinance allows them 125 lots.
There may be some land trades with the
Gersten property that will permit East "J"

to go forward.
Public hea?ing closed The~e being no further comments, either for
or against, the hearing was declared closed.

HILLSIDE MODIFYING DISTRICT Councilman Scott noted the proposal to the
Council, during his absence, for consideration
of the Hillside Modifying District and the
subsequent proposal made by Councilman Egdahl
in this regard.
Motion for Council It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded
agenda item by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried
that both the consideration of the 18 parcels
for the application of the "H" zone and his
suggestions for modifying this zone be
brought to the Council at the meeting of
July 16.

City CeunciI Meeting 9 June 18, 1974
Mrs. Carol S, Smith has appealed the decision
stating (i1) the Planning Commission did not
find the existence of ail facts as required
bM the Code; (2) the Environmental Review
Committee was biased in failing to indicate
numerous negative factors; (3) the Environ-
mental Review Committee failed to note that
the project would have an adverse effect upon
the residents and the value of their properties,
increase in traffic, inadequate sidewalks, and
unusual operating house.
Mr. Peterson added that the Planning Commission
based its action on the fact that the site
is isolated from nearby properties because
it is below the grade of "C" Street and Sea
Vale. In its present location, this use
has presented no problems to the surrounding
area.
Street improvements In answer to Councilman Scott's inquiry, Mr.
Peterson explained that the applicant would
have to dedicate and improve it~ half of
the street.
Director of Public Works Cole indicated that
although "C" Street is a half-street, there
would be no capacity problem as far as
traffic was c~rtcerned.
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised,
Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing.
William Bauer, Attorney Mr. Bauer stated he was representing 33
property owners who are opposing this use in
this location. He stated (1) there is an
invasion of R-1 and it is contrary to the
City's General Plan; (2) the facility will
house a large number of people on a full-time
basis, (3) only 40 parking spaces are pro-
vided; however a check on their other facility
last Saturday evening revealed 79 cars, 1 bus
and 1 motorcycle at 8:15 p.m. Mr. Bauer pre-
sented pictures to the Council showing various
views of the property. He added that (4) it
would prove hazardous to children that play
in this area; (5) the area is already being
used by the adjacent apartment residents
to park their vehicles; (6) the Environmental
Impact Report notice was posted on a tele-
phone pole on the property and this was a
violation of the due process of law as the
property owners were not individually noti-
fied; (7) this facility is in the process
of being licensed as a health care facility.
Mr. Bauer stated that the facility must
be constructed on a major artery and not a
residential street - it violates Section 33901
of the City Code which requires such a facility
to go rmacollector~treet, This section also
requires a six-foot fence where it adjoins
adjacent property. Mr. Bauer further noted
the lack of findings made by the Planning
Commission as required by the City Code.
Lee Raitt Mr, Raitt commented that the State does plan
443 "D" Street to license all recovery homes in the State of
City Council Meeting 10 June 18, 1974
California but not as mental health care centers.
He discussed the site layout, stating that the
building would be moved eighty feet westerly
in order to provide parking on both sides.
Mr. Raitt noted the egress and ingress and
commented that this is primarily a commercial
street and not a residential one -- and the
hours of operation would not conflict with
those of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The building is twelve feet below C Street.
There are 44 parking spaces provided with
sufficient land available for additional
spaces when needed.
In answer to Councilman Hyde's query, Mr.
Raitt stated it would not be feasible to put
in a wall around the property because of the
topography.
Petitions noted City Clerk Fulasz noted the petition of pro-
test received by the Planning Commission con-
taining 68 signatures and a petition favoring
the project containing 11 signatures.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or
against, the hearing was declared closed.
Council discussion Council discussion followed as to the need for
additional parking spaces and the statements
made by the Attorney indicating violations
of the City Code.
City Attorney Lindberg stated that the City
did follow due process in the Environmental
Impact Report notification and a written notice
of the public hearing to all residents within
300 feet of this proposal. He asked for an
opportunity to review the comments made by
Mr. Bauer.
Motion to continue It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded
by Councilman Hobel that the public hearing
be reopened and continued for one week.

Local 2180
Budget items City Manager Thomson noted that funds have
been encumbered for the new library in the
Capital Improvement Program. The budget does
not provide for any funds for an Industrial
Task Force as proposed by Councilman Hobel.
Mr. Thomson referred to a report on the bus
service (next agenda item) for which $3,580
would have to be added to the budget for Sunday
bus service, if this meets with Council
approval.
Firefighters' proposal City Manager Thomson discussed the proposal
to add five members to the Department. It is
a policy regarding type and level of service
and he recomraended that the budget be retained,
as is, on the basis of cost benefits.
In terms of their proposal for an insurance-
service office, because of the allegiance this
office would have to corporate insurance com-
panies, this would not be something the City
Manager would recommend.
The resolution for constant manning has policy
overtones and is something that should be
examined. Mr. Thomson asked the Council to
direct the staff to investigate this matter.
As to the 56 hour work week, the Fair Labor
Standard Act provides for a minimum arrangement
for work week hours.
The work week is subject to the Meet and Confer
process which has just been completed and is
now before the Council for action. The
Memorandum of Understanding could have included
these proposals. This matter can be referred
to the Fair Labor Standards Act in terms of
response and future Meet and Confer sessions.
City Manager Thomson asked the Council to direct
him to investigate ways to minimize the possi-
bility of injuries which the Firefighters
spoke to. Further, the staff will do every-
thing possible to accelerate the amount of time
spent on training.
Motion to approve requests It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded by
Councilman ~klyde and unanimously carried that
the requests of the City Manager be accepted.
Mr. Thomson stated he can complete this investi-
gation and report by September 1, 1974.
Mr. Byrum asked that the Union be involved in
the discussions, and he personally would also
like to work with the staff on this.
Mr. ~omaon said he would meet with the Union --
that there will be plenty of consultation.
REPORT ON PROPOSAL FOR Assistant to the City Manager Wittenberg sub-
FISCAL YEAR 1974-75 mitted a written report explaining that the
INTRA-CITY BUS SERVICE contract with Aztec Bus Lines expires on June 30,
1974.

City Council Meeting 12 June 18, 1974
If the Sunday bus service is approved~ $3,573
mu~t be added to Activity 1720, Account 5271
of tke budget,
Mr. Wittenberg recommended that the current
level of intra~£ity bus service be maintained
and that the proposal of Aztec Bus Lines be
accepted. The proposal calls for 307 opera-
ting days at $446 per day or a total of
$136,922 (825 miles per day or a total of
253,275 miles @ .54 per mile). The net cost
to the City would be
Report accepted ~t w:sX~n~ed by Councilman Egdahl, seconded
by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried
that the report and recommendations be accepted
and a resolution be brought back approving
the new agreement with Aztec Bus Lines.
INDUSTRIAL TASK FORCE Councilman Hobel explained his proposal for
the Task Force ($21,500). He noted this was
not a Mayor's salary increase -- it was a
fund which would reimburse the Mayor for per
diem and travel expenses. Councilman Hobel
noted the number of corporate headquarters
moving to the west coast and felt the City of
Chula Vista could get some of them to locate
here.
Council discussion Councilman Scott referred to the findings of
the Industrial Committee some time ago in which
they concluded that Chula Vista did not have
any place to put industry. He questioned
where the industries were going to be located,
what are the goals, what type of industry is
to be pursued, what type of commercial, what
type of program? Councilman Scott said he
felt the program had merit but he would like
to get more info~taatio~ on it. He added he
would also like more specifies on the dollar
amounts.
Motion to include in budget It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded
by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried
that the dollar amount of Councilman Hobel's
proposal be included in the budget, and that
prior to the use of those funds, a program
be developed along with the material in order
that the committee can make a proper presenta-
tion of the City on their trips.
Councilman Egdahl explained his motion by
stating it would give the Council time to
clarify and resolve some of the issues re-
garding proper location of the industries.
If the Council cannot come to some agreement
on that, then the plan will not be implemented.
Community Promotions Account City Manager Thomson reported that this would
go under the Community Promotions budget.
