Mrs. Mabel Williams Mrs. Williams indicated general dismay over 276 Whitney Street the building referred to by Mrs. Centrulla, noting the fact that there is parking on the easement there making it most difficult for people to see while driving out of the area. She requested a seven-foot retaining wall to separate her home from the complex. Mrs. Williams also questioned the issuance of building permit for the project. Assistant City Mr. Bourcier remarked he had followed up on Manager Bourcier this and directed that the building permit be withdrawn. He added that last week Mrs. Nagy (the owner) reapplied for a new building permit. She met all requirements of the ordinance, therefore there was no reason not to approve a new building permit.

Donald Byrum, President Mr. Byrum spoke against the proposal, stating Local 2180 that it will cut the size of the companies Chula Vista Firefighters down to 3-man companies, thereby lowering the Department's ISO (Insurance Service Office) rating.

City Council Meeting 5 April 16, 1974 Alan Haynes Mr. Haynes stated he was the Senior M~chanic of the department and holds the rank of Cap- tain. He said he was not consulted as to the proposed change whereby a civilian mechanic would be hired. He asked that the Council not take any action on this matter until such time as someone from the staff reviews this decision with him, as he feels he has some valuable comments to offer. Captain Haynes added that he has held this poiition during his tenure on the Firefighters (over twenty years), and at any time that the de- partment needs a Captain, he can be pulled from the mechanic's position to fill the Captain's rank. Comments from Fire Chief City Manager Thomson asked if the Fire Chief had any comments he wished to offer. Fire Chief Smithey stated he had none. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or agai~$t~, the hearing was declared closed.

Recess A recess was called at 8:07 p.m. and the meet- ing reconvened at 8:25 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING - The rezoning of the subject properties was CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE initiated by the Planning Commission in OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY November 1973 in order to forestall indivi- LOCATED AT 614-682 dual requests for variances to develop per- SECOND AVENUE FROM R-1 tions of the properties without the required TO R-1-P OR R-l-15 street frontage. On December 12, 1973, the Planning Commission recommended that the properties be rezoned to R-l-15. The Council considered this recommendation on January 22, 1974 and referred the matter back to the Planning Commission for consideration of R-1-P zoning. City Council Meeting 6 April 16, 1974 The Planning Commission is now reaffirming its recommendation that the properties at 614-682 Second Avenue be rezoned from R-1 to R-l-15. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared opened. Petition noted City Clerk Fulasz noted the petition of pro- test received signed by fourteen residents of the 600 block of Del Mar Avenue in which they stated they were against the R-1-P zoning but would agree to the R-l-15. Mrs. Ray Cawajal Mrs. Cawajal said she was one of the signers 633 Del Mar of the petition and clarified the fact that they would favor a rezoning to R-l-iS. Tom Money Mr. Money said he was representing the family 316 "I" Street owning property at 674 Second Avenue. He spoke against the R-l-15 zoning, stating there were not enough property owners in the area who were interested enough to put ima road in back of their properties. He explained that his family owns the property at 674 Second Avenue, and with the present buildings on the site, there is still approximately 27,000 square feet of area left on which he would like someday to build his own home. He asked that the Council take no action on the rezoning request, leaving the avenue open for people like himself to be able to build on the back of these lots. Planning Director Peterson discussed the variance procedure for lot splits, declaring that in this case the Planning Commission recommended R-I-]5 to forestall these indi- vidual requests for variances on individual lots in favor of trying to get the group together for an overall plan. Glen Roberts Mr. Roberts commented that he lives in a 617 Del Mar Avenue unique area with plenty of open space. He can see nothing wrong with these people developing their lots as they wished, and the easements to these properties would not dis- turb the block as much as a public road would. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. Motion to file It was moved by Councilman Hobel and seconded by Mayor Hamilton that this matter be filed. Discussion of motion Councilman Egdahl spoke against the motion, commenting that one side of the block is zoned R-1 and the other side is zoned R-l-15; therefore, each case has to be dealt with on an individual basis. City Attorney Lind~erg explained that R-l-15 zoned property would not be susceptible to a lot split by the variance process. The variance in that instance would be a re- zoning of the property which would be difficult to justify.

Mr. Wittenberg explained that he is directed to have the General Fund subsidy for buses remain at the same level as past years.
