GRADING PLAN FOR BONITA grading plan for this subdivision located
COUNTRY ESTATES (FORMERLY west of Otay Lakes Road, comprising 94-1/2
BONITA ACRES) acres to be constructed with 155 units.
The tentative map was approved by the City
Council approximately one year ago.
A review by the Environmental Review Commit-
tee noted that conditions i~posed by the
City in the approval of the precise plan and
subdivision map have caused the developer to
modify his original development concept in
favor of a plan which will require more
grading.
Director of Planning Peterson explained
that while the revised grading plan repre-
sented a significant departure from the
original plan in terms of the number of
cubic yar~s of dirt to be excavated, the
overall concept and configuration of the
project have not been adversely affected.
Planning Director's Mr. Peterson remarked that it would be his
recommendation recommendation that the increased grading
for Unit #1 be accepted subject to the
added condition suggested by the Division
of Engineering, that condition being:
Methods of controlling erosion and
sheet drainage from graded slopes
onto sidewalks, private driveways
and streets, and dedicated streets
shall be subject to detailed approval
by the City Engineer upon submission
of the grading plan by the developer.
Council discussion Discussion followed in which the Council
questioned the precautions to be taken
to prevent mud slides, the actual site of
the additional grading, comparison to the
tentative map and the Environmental Impact
Report.
Councilman Egdahl asked what would happen
if the Council did not find this modified
grading plan acceptable and turned it down.
City Attorney Lindberg stated it would
then come back to the issue of the-reasonable-
ness of insistance upon the original con-
ditions in light of the elements cited
by the Planning Director.
City Council Meeting 6 April 2, 1974
Councilman Hobel noted that the modified
grading plan incorporates only one-half of
the property in question. Director of
Planning Peterson commented that the other
half of the property is rougher in topography
than this half, and the developer may be
coming back for a modification of that
Grading plan accepted It was moved by Councilman Hobel and seconded
by Councilman Egdahl that the report and
recommendation of the Planning Director be
accepted.
Motion carried qqne motion carried by the following vote,

CONSIDERATION OF PLACING Director of Planning Peterson reported that
MORATORIUM ON THE ISSU~J~CE this area is part of the property now being
OF BUILDING PERMITS ON studied by the staff pursuant to Council's
Il-ACRE PARCEL IN THE direction to review the E1 Rancho del Rey
C-T-D ZONE ON THE WEST area with a view toward modifying the
SIDE OF OTAY LAKES ROAD, General Development Plan to reflect the
600 FEET NORTH OF "H" concepts of the Hillside Modifying District.
A grading plan has been submitted for the
STREET development of a small take-out fast food
service, which would tend to commit the
entire ~t£a~¥~ parcel to commercial use.
The staff believes that commercial develop-
ment should be delayed until the study is
complete, and thereby, recommended a six-
month moratorium one,he processing of
plans or issuance of building permits on
the Il-acre parcel and the adjacent 8-acre
property to the south.
City Manager Thomson recommended that the
moratorium be limited to ninety days.
Mr. Glen Ashwell Mr. Ashwell stated he is co-owner of the
2738 "M" Avenue property in question, and explained his
National City proposal for a commercial center starting
with a fast food service business which
would primarily serve the college students.
Council discussion Discussion ensued as to the matter coming
before the Council at "the eleventh hour."
Mayor Hamilton indicated it was unfair to
the applicant to impose this moratorium on
his development at this time.
Councilman Egdahl suggested the moratorium
be placed on the entire E1 Rancho del Rey
property until this particular study is com-
pleted by the staff.
Motion to accept It was moved by Councilman Hobel and seconded
City Manager's by Councilman Scott that the recommendation
recommendation of the City Manager (a moratorium be placed
on the 19-acre property for a period of
90 days) be accepted.
City Council Meeting 7 April 2, 1974
Robert Kroeger Mr. Kroeger said he was a developer and felt
the gentleman should be reimbursed by the
City for Council's action in changing this
zoning. Property is purchased based on
zoning and when it is changed "at the will
of the Council" the money lost should be
reimbursed to the developer.
Mayor Hamilton explained that no zone change
was made.
Co~nucilman Scott commented that there were
many times that the Council changed zoning
from residential to commercial and were
never paid by the developer for this action --
what the Council does is to determine the
proper zoning for the City, and this is not
based on pure economics.

the 19-acre parcel carried by the following
vote, to-wit:
AYES: Councilmen Hobel, Scott, Hyde
Noes: Councilmen Hamilton, Egdahl

priorities in the Planning Department will
have to be set aside for conrpletion of
this study. Mayor Hamilton directed the
City Manager to bring back a status report
next week on these projects.
Motion for change in It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded
zoning ordinance by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried
that the City Attorney be directed to bring
back a proposal to the City Council for
modification of a zoning ordinance to
provide that requests for intensive land
use zoning provide a time limit within
which building permits must be issued for
development of the property at that zoning.
Motion modified City Attorney Lindberg asked that the
motion be modified to the extent that it
be indicated that the effectiveness of
the zoning would only be allowed if a
plan were submitted within a two or three-
year period of time. If that time period
ran out, the new zoning would not be affected.
Councilman Hyde agreed to the modification;
Councilman Scott agreed to the second and
the motion, as amended, carried unanimously.
UTILITY USE TAX City Attorney Lindberg reported that the
City of San Jose had an appeal from a
favorable decision regarding the validity
of their utility use tax. The Supreme
Court held this tax to be constitutional;
however, it is being attacked on the basis
that it is discriminatory as it is not ap-
plicable to banking and insurance companies,
etc.

Jose in any way it can.
