APPROVAL OF MINUTES It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Councilman Seott and unanimously earried that the minutes of the meetings of November 1 and 6, 1973, be approved, copies having been sent to each Councilman. ORAL CO~UNICATIONS Edward Ortiz Mr. Ortiz referred to the agenda item regard- 18 "F" Street lng consideration of the City's withdrawal from the Serra System and asked that the City not withdraw from this System. PUBLIC HEARING - On September 25, 1973, the City Council adopted CONSIDERATION OF PLANNED the Planned Unit Development Ordinance (No. 1500); UNIT DEVELOPMENT POLICY however, the Development Policy was continued to enable staff to clarify several aspects of that policy. In a report to the Council, Director of Planning Peterson explained the building separation for- mulae, street width standards, justification for the density bonus, and determination as to whether the PUD standards should be adopted by resolution or ordinance. Discussion A discussion followed with each Councilman voicing his opinion regarding the Policy versus Ordinance issue. Opinion of City Attorney City Attorney Lindberg explained that the ordi- nance establishes precise rules and regulations where one must pursue the total variance pro- cedure. An appeal is made to the Planning Com- mission, and if not approved, the appeal is made to the City Council. Where the policy state- ment is embodied in the resolution, the staff may make adjustments in accordance with their judgment. From their decision, an appeal may be made to the Planning Commission or Council. Mr. Lindberg added that it does give a greater degree of flexibility on the administrative level. City Council Meeting 2 November 13, 1973 Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was opened. Jerry Linton Mr. Linton stated he had strong reservations American Housing Guild about the density bonus remarking that it was wholly inadequate. He asked that the Council take this into consideration in light of the state of the economy and the building business. Mr. Linton declared that this Policy will make the cost of the homes go up and will prohibit construction of low-cost homes. Mr. Linton spoke about the issue of Policy ver- sus Ordinance and remarked that if approval of a planned unit development becomes a subjective thing, then he would not be in favor of the Policy. Carmen Pasquale Mr. Pasquale agreed with the remarks made by Vice-President Mr. Linton and added that the City has many E1 Rancho del Rey ordinances and procedures that control good planning, and it does not need a "cumbersome system" as delineated under this proposal. Within the range of the basic zoning, a devel- oper should be able to come in and develop a precise plan and come out with whatever density he can, regardless of any maximum density - just have it based on good planning. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. Storage facilities Councilman Hyde questioned the storage facility requirements. Mr. Peterson stated that the requirements, as noted in his report, should be: 1 bedroom 20 sq ft x 4 or 80 cuft 2 bedrooms 40 sq ft x 4 or 160 cu ft 3 or more bedrooms 60 sq ft x 4 or 240 cu ft Density Incentive Standards Councilman Hyde remarked that the density pre- scribed by the underlying district is the density that prevails unless there is an in- centive density provided. He then referred to the maximum density allowed, indicating that it averaged out to 33%. In order to qualify for the additional density, a developer must make such improvements over and beyond what would normally be required. Councilman Hyde commented on the six incentive features in the report indicating that the sixth feature (special building features) was one in which the Council concurred should be deleted. He then questioned whether or not the basic stan- dards provided for a good planned unit develop- ment. Mr. Peterson stated it would as compared to the standards on which prevSous planned unit develop- ments were built. In answer to Councilman Hyde's query, Mr. ?eterson discussed the justification used by the staff for the maximum densities. Councilman Hyde felt there should be a demon- strated need, by the developers, for the density bonus. City Council Meeting 3 November 13, 1973 Councilman Scott noted that the density bonus proposed under this Policy was the same as used under the old PUD ordinance with the elimination of the 25% bonus. Discussion Discussion followed regarding the density bonus, comparison of this Policy with that adopted by other cities, Policy versus Ordinance, and a comparison of a planned unit development with a mobilehome development. RESOLUTION NO. 7077 - Offered by Councilman Egdahl with the following ~d)OPTING A POLICY FOR modifications: PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS 1. Deleting item 6: "Special building features which tend to maximize comfort and minimize household maintenance and operation expenses, such as complete insulation, installation of gutters and downspouts, use of soundproofing techniques, and use of quality materials and equipment, such as waste disposals, dishwashers, door locks, furnaces, etc." 2. Putting in the corrected storage facilities figures. 3. Editorial change on page 1 (setbacks, lot coverage and floor area requirements) - should read "face equals front." Motion carried The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilman Egdahl, Scott, Hobel, Hyde Noes: Mayor ttamilton Absent: None Recess A recess was called at 8:30 p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 8:51 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE BAY- FRONT AREA TO CHANGE DESIGNATED I~D USE FROM GENERAL INDUS- TRIAL TO C0~ERCIAL RECREATION AND RELATED USES Robert E. McGinnis Mr. McGinnis stated they are the law firm Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps representing Santa Fe Lands, owners of approx- 110 West "A" Street imately 400 acres in the Bayfront area. He San Diego, California requested a postponement of the hearing for a period of three to four weeks to allow comple- tion of a study being made for alternatives regarding the zoning on their property. This will be for industrial and some nonindustrial USES. Redevelopment potential City Manager Thomson stated that delay of ac- tion on the Bayfront extends the time that the City can approach the tax increment financing possibilities. If during this delay improve- ments are permitted, then the City would lose the tax increment revenue potential from such developments. This loss could have a signifi- cant impact on the public improvements plan for the Bayfront. City Council Meeting 4 November 13, 1973 Request for postponement The City Clerk noted a letter received from Mr. Kenneth Wood, attorney for National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, requesting postponement of the hearing until after November 15 or until such time as preliminary information is received from the Port District and the Corps of Engineers regarding the question of dredging the channel to "J" Street. Motion to open hearing It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that the public hearing be opened, testimonies be heard, and if the Council feels the public hearing should be continued, this would be done to a time certain and additional testimony can come in. This decision will be made after the tes- timonies have been given, rather than at this time. Motion to consider request It was moved by Councilman Hobel and seconded to lift moratorium by Councilman Hyde that consideration be given to the request to lift the moratorium on the Bayfront property. Speaking against motion Councilman Egdahl spoke against the motion noting that the Council's action on this re- quest would depend on whether or not they would sustain the action of the Planning Co}mission and change the consultant's recommendation (C-O to Industrial). He felt that the Council should go through the public hearing process before making this decision. Motion withdrawn Councilman Hobel withdrew his motion; Councilman Hyde withdrew the second. Director of Planning Peterson explained that the Planning Commission considered the proposed Chula Vista Bayfront Plan and Program prepared by the planning consultants Sedway/Cooke at a public hearing held on September 26, 1973. Four items were considered: (1) Environmental Impact Report; (2) modification of the General Plan for the Bayfront area; (3) rezoning of various parcels in the Bayfront area; (4) specific plans for the Bayfront area. The Planning Commission recommended one change from that proposed by the consultants: the property located north of Rohr Industries, east of the proposed extension of Tidelands Avenue, south of "F" Street and west of Interstate 5, be proposed for Industrial use rather than Ad- ministration and Business Service. Conflict of interest City Attorney Lindberg stated there were two Councilmen (Councilmen Hobel and Scott) who have certain interests in the prescribed area. He stated that neither of the Councilmen has any conflict of interest that would prescribe their discussion of the merits of the Plan or their ultimate vote on the proposal. This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing. City Council Meeting 5 November 13, 1973 George Parker Mr. Parker introduced Mr. Edward Hey, Vice- Rohr Industries President, Rohr Industries. Edward Hey Mr. Hey submitted an aerial map of the area in question. He noted the large Rohr building erected four years ago (Building #61) at the northwest corner of the property, and stated that Rohr has a contract to build a large marine vessel referred to as "2KSES." This is a 2,000 ton surface ship for the~Navy, which may lead to a contract for Phase 2 involving engineering and building a prototype. Mr. Hey noted on the Bayfront Plan, the Rohr building, the waterfront area and the property leased from the Port District lying between these two areas (building and dock). With the type of boat just described (width 105 feet), it would not be feasible to try to come out of Building #61 and go over a 60-foot road to the launching area. Rohr is petitioning the Council for a rezoning of this strip of land to facil- itate the moving of these ships to the boatyard. Mr. Hey supported the Planning Commission's recom- mendation to rezone that property between "F" Street and the Rohr property immediately north, to industrial. Tidelands area Councilman Scott noted that the area was in the Tidelands and therefore out of this Coun- cil's control. Design problem Director of Planning Peterson indicated this was a very important link in the Plan which calls for a bicycle trail and hiking trail. He felt this was just a design problem rather than one of rezoning. Launching facility Mr. Hey explained that the draft of the ship would be between 20 and 30 feet. The plans for construction would be that the ship would be put on a floating dry dock, taken out to deeper water and launched. The existing chan- nel might have to be dredged to some extent for the floating dry dock. Reva Lynch Mrs. Lynch read a report written by Mrs. 636 "J" Street Margaret Stein, President, favoring the League of Women Voters Sedway/Cooke Plan. Mrs. Lynch then referred to the reports sub- mitted by Dr. Barry Vittor, a marine scientist, and Ernest T. Bauer, Chief, Division of Ports, Maritime Administration, U. S. Department of Commerce. Mr. Bauer's report discussed the present need of liquefied natural gas LNG tankers to fill the United States gas import needs by 1985; the shipyards capable of handling these large vessels; the contracts awarded for the construction of the tankers; the depth of the water needed for the tankers; and the water, air, and noise pollution as- sociated with this construction. Dr. Vittor's letter concerned the marshes and tidelands in this area stating that the City Council Meeting 6 November 13, 1973 Environmental Protection Agency sent out a directive six months ago prohibiting all en- croachment of dredging on the salt marshes. James Cappos 404 Hilltop Drive Mr. Cappos said he owned the property at 965 "F" Street (Rayne Soft Water). He asked that the property be kept industrial in that his business is unique because of the problem he has with effluent. This is salt water dumped into the Bay. Many cities have now passed ordinances outlawing soft-water businesses. Mr. Cappos asked that the Council approve the Planning Commission's rezoning recommendation to industrial to include his property. C. R. Campbell Mr. Campbell reported that the Port District Port Commissioner considered the Sedway/Cooke Plan today compar- ing that with their Master Plan. The 8oard had strong feelings about the northwest corner of the property. Sedway/Cooke's rocommendation for the area up to the meandering mean high- tide land is for residential. Port District recommendation The Port District Commission asks for the tidelands portion of this area to be classi- fied as maritime-oriented industrial. This could be for boat repair or a shipyard. If in the future it is deemed advisable to have maritime industry, then to have the property immediately contiguous to the tidelands as residential would be totally incompatible. Don Nay Mr. Nay, Port Director, reported that the Port P. O. Box 488 Commissioners considered the possibility of San Diego locating a shipyard at the "J" Street site. They asked the Army Corps of Engineers about the possibility of carrying deep water down to this site. The Port of San Diego has been sponsoring an application for deep water into the South Bay for about 10 years now which project has been limited to taking deep water down to "D" Street. Mr. Nay noted the prob- lems involved, the cost of the project and finding spoil deposit areas to carry this project down to "J" Street. It would involve 13 million yards of material at a cost of $15,000,000 and the chances of Congress authorizing such a project today are virtually nil. Mr. Nay added that there will be opposition voiced particularly by Fish and Game Commission and Bureau of Sports Fishing and Wildlife against any degradation of the Sweetwater marsh. Therefore, the shipyard should be built on fill which is westerly of the northwest corner of Chula Vista, although some fill must be done here to get the 100 acres needed for the ship- yard. Jack Duggan Mr. Duggan showed a rendering of a proposed Vice-President retail store his firm plans to build on the Dixieline Lumber northwest corner of Bay Boulevard and "G" Street. He urged approval of the Planning Commission's recommendation for rezoning to industrial. City Council Meeting 7 November 13, 1973 Pike Hedge Mr. Hedge asked that the moratorium be lifted on his property to allow construction of a refrigeration plant. Mr. Ahern, Cotton Company Realtors, explained the layout of the building plan - 2,420 square feet of a metal-type building. The firm is a refrigeration sales and service - the company refrigerates trucks, boats, warehouses, rooms, etc. Motion for continuance It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded by Mayor Hamilton and unanimously carried that the public hearing be continued, that the staff take all comments made tonight and come back with an official staff position. The public hearing to be continued for a period of four weeks (December 11, 1973). Motion amended Mayor Hamilton amended the motion to continue the hearing to three weeks (December 4, 1973). Councilman Hobel agreed. RESOLUTION AMENDING THE (Continued to the meeting of December 4, 1973.)

Director of Planning Peterson reported that the Planning Commission recommended expansion of the Industrial area to include the prop- erties between "F" and "G" Streets, and if Council concurs, then the staff would recom- mend that the moratorium be lifted on the 8.5 acre area bounded by "F" and "G" Streets, Bay Boulevard, and the railroad tracks, sub- ject to the condition that development plans for properties in the area shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission and Council under the procedures established in the recommended "P" Modifying District. Mr. Peterson added that the Dixieline Company is also interested in having the moratorium lifted on the property on which they plan to build. Moratorium lifted It was moved by Mayor Hamilton and seconded by Councilman Hobel that the moratorium on Mr. Pike Hedge's property be lifted. In answer to Councilman Hobel's query, Director of Planning Peterson stated there is no design or architectural control on this property, but part of the Planning Commission's recommendation is that this area carry the "P" modifying District. City Council Meeting 8 November 13, 1973 Included in motion Mayor Hamilton included the "P" Modifying Dis- trict in the motion. Councilman Hobel agreed to the second. Motion carried The motion carried by the following vote, to- wit: AYES: Councilmen Hamilton, Hobel, Hyde Noes: Councilman Egdahl Absent: None Abstain: Councilman Scott (possible conflict of interest due to employment) BAYFRONT HEARING CONTINUANCE Mayor Hamilton noted that there will not be a full Council present at the meeting of December 4 and the hearing should be continued to the meeting of December 11 (4 weeks).

State GENERAL PLAN law further requires that the Conservation Element be adopted by December 31, 1973. In submitting the report to the Council, Director of Planning emphasized that designa- tion of certain areas on the Conservation Element does not imply that the lands so designated will be purchased by a public agency or that development of them will occur. Rather, the purpose is to call attention to certain areas so that their significance is acknowl- edged and decisions to approve development in those areas are informed decisions.

City Council Meeting 11 November 13, 1973 c. Maintenance of landscaped areas on the south side of "E" Street shall be the re- sporsibility of the abutting property owner. City Manager Thomson recommended against City participation, but concurred with recommenda- tions l(a) and l(c) above. Motion for nonparticipation It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Egdahl and unanimously carried that the City not participate financially in the landscaping, and further, that the recommenda- tions of the City Manager be accepted. REPORT ON ENVIRONMENTAL Director of Planning Peterson discussed the CONTROL CO~ISSION'S REQUEST proposal made by the Environmental Control CONCERNING ENVIRONMENTAL Commission at the last meeting - that the IMPACT REPORTS Council request that the proper State author- ities modify the California Environmental Quality Act to require consideration of the cumulative effects on the environment of un- related and individually insignificant projects. Mr. Peterson stated that the concern was a valid one but would pose serious administra- tive problems. An individual cannot be ex- pected to prepare an Environmental Impact Report evaluating the cumulative effect of his project on the City's total environment, and neither can the City perform this evalua- tion within the limits of existing staff. Mr. Peterson recommended that a letter be sent to the proper State authorities asking that this matter be studied so that some mechanism is developed to evaluate the cumulative effect on the environment resulting from construction of individual projects. Motion to accept recommendation It was moved by Councilman Hobel and seconded by Councilman Hyde that the department head's recommendation be accepted.

Mr. Millor asked that in adopting the map which imposes a 1-foot control lot along the westerly boundary of Surrey Drive that such action be taken with the thought in mind that if he is not able to obtain an encroachment permit, he would have leave to come back to the Council to address himself on this partic- ular problem.
