Councilman Hobel abstained from voting.
PUBLIC HEARING (CONTINUED) This item was continued from the meeting
APPEAL BY DUNPHY CONSTRUCTION of September 4 in order that a full Council
CONIPANY OF PLANNING CO~ISSION can be present.
DENIAL OF CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF TRUCK
TERMINAL AT TROUSDALE DRIVE
AND PRESS LANE
Abstain from hearing Councilman Egdahl stated that he has been
advised by the Attorney to abstain from
participation in this hearing since the
congregation he serves owns property in
the area. It would be a conflict of
interest.
Director of Planning Peterson explained
the applicant's proposal to construct a
loading dock, w~rehouse and office for a
truck terminal. The terminal would operate
with a limited number of s-em~,sand about
seventeen bobtail rigs (1-1/2 ton trucks).
The hours of operation would be between
8:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. The Planning Com-
mission failed to approve the conditional
use permit by a 3-3 vote. They were con-
cerned over the compatibility of this use
with the adjacent mobile home park and the
homes south of the valley above the site.
Director Peterson discussed the past and
existing zoning in the area, the land use
and the traffic element. He suggested
the following conditions if approval is
granted: (1) a masonry wall be constructed
along North Glover Avenue adjacent to the
mobile home park from the north property
line to a point opposite the new street
between North Fourth Avenue and North
Glover Avenue; (2) zoning wall to be
City Council Meeting 2 September 18, 1973
waived at the southeast corner of the
industrial park site; (3) doors on the south
side of the terminal to remain closed dur-
ing the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.;
(4) construction of the terminal to be
concurrent or later than construction
of the industrial buildings on the south
side of Trousdale.
Suggestion to return item Councilman Scott suggested sending the
to Planning Commission item back to the Planning Commission for
a full vote of the Commission, in view of
the fact that one member of the Council
abstained and it would take a 4/Ss vote
to override the decision of the Commission
on this matter.
Councilman Hyde indicated that the matter
would come back to the Council in any
event, since there Were Strong feelings
on both sides of the issue - either party
would appeal the decision of the Planning
Commission.
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as adver-
tised, ~yo~H~il~on~p~n~the. h~¥ing.
Dean Dunphy Mr. Dunphy stated he was the applicant,
President, Dunphy Construction Company and his ownership in the property is a
conditional one. One condition of the
agreement is that he be granted a condi-
tional use permit for a truck terminal at
that location.
Mr. Dunphy spoke of the need of an indus-
trial park in Chula Vista and for this
particular use. He is dealin~ with G.I.
Trucking which firm chose this 4:?-acre
site because of its proximity to the pro-
posed freeway. He discussed in detail the
construction plans and the operation of
the terminal. Mr. Dunphy then discussed
the noise decibel limitations for truck
trailers as imposed by the State.
Tom Storer, Terminal Manager Mr. Storer explained that his firm has
G.I. Trucking twenty-four 27-foot trailers. There are
3495 Kirk Street twelve trips per night coming down from
San Diego Los Angeles (twelve coming in and twelve
going out, or one every hour from 6:00
p.m. to 6:00 a.m.).
Niek Slijk Mr. Slijk remarked that the Chamber of
Chamber of Commerce Commerce Industrial Committee studied
this request and ma~e the following recom-
mendations: That the Council approve the
request for a truck terminal based on
(1) the land is compatible with the sur-
rounding area; (2) the trailer park was
fully aware, at time of construction,
that this was industrially-zoned land;
(3) Chula Vista desperately needs an
expanded industrial base which will be
provided by this development.
Recess A recess was called at 8:10 p.m. and the
meeting reconvened at 8:25 p.m.
City Council Meeting 3 September 18, 1973
Ed Witek Mr. Witek stated he is co-owner of the
345 "C" Street Trave-Lodge Mobile Home Park and is repre-
senting the tenants in the park. He
read a letter addressed to the Council
in which he discussed the Environmental
Impact Report, Noise Ordinance and speci-
fic problems regarding the application,
the safety factors and recommended solu-
tions.
Mr. Witek played a tape recording of noise
decibel levels, and submitted pictures
showing the visibility pattern around the
bend of the proposed Brisbane Street.
He made the following recommendations:
1. Instead of cul-de-sacing Trousdale,
dog-leg at the cul-de-sac and go
across the open land and dog-leg it
to exactly the same spot that there
is an opening on Brisbane.
2. Consider the adoption of a noise
ordinance, so there will be uniform
values.
3. Deny the petition and seriously con-
sider the one-street concept entering
into this zone - whether for this
permit or any future use.
Norvai~ Richardson, Administrator Mr. Richardson noted the ~ocation of the
Vista Hill Hospital hospital to this site. At the Planning
3 North Second Avenue Commission hearing, he voiced concern
that this operation might preclude the
operation of the hospital due to the noise
level (it is a psychiatric hospital and
noise is an important element). Since that
time, he has been studying noise levels
and has evaluated the noise emitting
from the Lewis firm on Glover Street and
discovered he could not hear these trucks
starting and stopping. Noting that this
truck terminal facility will be closer,
and there will be noise generated by the
freeway, he has, nevertheless, come to the
conclusion that the proposed truck termi-
nal will not interfere with the operation
of the psychiatric hospital.
George Cordrey Mr. Cordray commented that 90% of the
320 Via Cavour people living in the mobilehome park are
senior citizens and asked the Council
to consider their feelings regarding
the noise that will be generated by the
proposed use.
William Zellar Mr. Zellar spoke in opposition to the
55 Corso di Italia request and asked who would be responsible
for maintaining the road which is to be
used by the heavy trucks. He noted the
noise that will be made by the trailers
hooking-up and by the operators of the
fork-lifts. Mr. Zellar then discussed
the noise level of the trucks shifting
gears driving into the proposed terminal
City Council Meeting 4 September 18, 1973
Ann Welker Mrs. Welker asked that the Council deny
168 North Del Mar Avenue the application and help Mr. Dunphy re-
locate his terminal further west. She
also requested that the Council consider
only allowing light industrial uses in this
area that would operate during daytime
hours only.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either
for or against, the hearing was declared
closed.
Recess A recess was called at 9:35 p.m. and the
meeting reconvened at 9:50 p.m.
Brisbane Street Councilman Scott questioned Brisbane
Street's going from Fourth and turning
to the Trousdale cul-de-sac and questioned
whether this was a ¥iable project.
Assistant Director of Public Works Robens
stated it was a viable project but wasn't
pushed by the staff because they felt that
the one access was considered satisfactory.
In answer to Councilman Scott's query,
Mr. Robens remarked that he believed it
would be possible to work with the State
to make this modification. The project
is funded and no additional funds are
available; however, the State could use
those funds allocated for Brisbane Street
for this modification. The right-of-way
for Brisbane has been purchased. Mr.
Robens added that he believed Gas Tax
Funds could be used to purchase the land
between Brisbane and Trousdale and after
it is sold, the City could be reimbursed.
Motion for alternate street It was moved by Councilman Scott and
seconded by Councilman Hyde that the
staff be directed to change the configura-
tion of what is now known tentatively as
"Brisbane" into a Trousdale extension,
and follow the configuration that is shown
in the Council packet as "Exhibit B-Route 1" -
and that the east half of Brisbane be
deleted from the Chula Vista map as a
possible dedicated street.
Motion carried The motion carried by the following vote,
to-wit:
AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hyde, Hobel,
Hamilton
Noes: None
Absent: None
Abstain: Councilman Egdahl
Report from staff Councilman Hyde noted the questions asked
of the staff. Mr. Robens indicated he
would need two weeks to research the
questions and bring back a definitive
answor to Council.
Motion for continuance It was moved by Councilman Hyde and seconded
by Councilman Scott to continue for two
weeks the decision on the appeal until
the Council receives a response to the
questions as to whether or not this can
be done.
City Council Meeting 5 September 18, 1973
Discussion Councilman Scott felt the item could be
resolved on a conditional basis.
Motion withdrawn Councilman Hyde withdrew his motion, and
Councilman Scott withdrew the second.
Motion to approve conditional It was moved by Councilman Hyde,and seconded
use permit by Councilman Scott that the conditional
use permit be approved subject to confirma-
tion that the alteration of the traffic
pattern between Trousdale and the pros-
pective Brisbane Street could be accom-
plished.
Discussion Mayor Hamilton asked that a condition be
imposed to post signs on North Glover
not allowing truck traffic to travel on
this street toward "C" Street.
Included in motion Councilman Hyde included in the motion the
statement that truck traffic not be per-
mitted along North Glover between "C"

denied the overall design theme based
on a finding that the site planning and
architectural treatment of the proposed

development criteria recommended in the
Bayfront Study.
Paul Peterson, Attorney Mr. Peterson stated it was his understand-
530 "B" Street ing that a member of the Council would be
San Diego leaving the meeting now, and since only

REPORT ON PROPOSED Director of Planning Peterson explained
APARTMENTS - 339-345 the City's policy regarding construction
"I" STREET located within any proposed street exten-
sion. He stated that at one time, Garrett
Avenue was planned to extend from Mankato
through to "I" Street; however, the Engineer-
ing Division has determined that it is
no longer necessary. Therefore, since no
one-foot control lot exists at the end of
Garrett Avenue, properti~ which abut
the street may use Garrett for access.
Mr. Peterson added that the proposed plans
meet ail the requiremetns of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Motion to accept report Itw~mo¥~ by Councilman Hyde, seconded
by Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried
that the report be accepted.
Discussion Under discussion of the motion, Assistant
Director of Public Works Robens reviewed
the procedure (1911 Act) for improvement
of the cul-de-sac. He explained that
the three residents were contacted, and
they objected to the improvement.
REPORT ON SELECTION OF Mr. Cole, Director of Public Works, sub-
ANIMAL SHELTER ~CHITECT mitted a written report noting the five
architects who were contacted for the
proposed animal shelter project. He
stated he would recommend contracting
with Joseph Colgan for the project.
Mr. Colgan's bid was for an estimated
$S,900 (this does not include cost for
drawing reproduction, travel expense to
and from the project, special mailing and
delivery, long distance telephone calls
and presentation models or rendering).
The preparation time to complete the plan
would be from 8 to 10 weeks.
County's plans Councilman Hyde suggested getting San Diego
County's plans to defray the cost of the
architect.
Assistant City Manager Bourcier explained
that the County's proposed animal facility
will be five times that of Chula Vista's
and it would be impossible to use the same
set of plans.
Motion for authorization It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded
by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried
that the Director of Public Works be
authorized to bring back an agreement
with Joseph Colgan for the preparation
of contract documents for the construction
of the animal shelter.
City Council Meeting 11 September 18, 1973
REPORT ON THE U. S. ARMY In a report to the Council, Director of
CORPS!OF ENGINEERS - SAN : public Works Co~ stated that a meeting
DIEGO HARBOR CHANNEL ~
, was held in National City on August 22,
DEEPENING PROJECT 1973 by the Army Corps of Engineers to
receive input into the proposed plan for
deepening of the navigation channel in
San Diego Harbor from the harbor entrance
to an approximate mile ~2.~ to 13.2 just
south of the Sweetwater flood control
channel.
The major obstacle to implementing the
plan was the question of how to dispose
of the spoils. Environmental groups have
objected strongly to the filling of tidal
flats and marshes, and therefore, the
Corps is proposing their Alternate Plan
2, which reduces the number of bay fill
sites and increases the amount of material
deposited in the open ocean.
, N. M~. Cole added that if the Council desires
to encourage development of a marina and
related commercial recreational uses,
the Corps' proposal should be opposed;
however, if the Council desires to en-
courage industrial development in this
area, the Corps' plan should be supported.
A Council Conference was suggested to
discuss this plan, the Bayfront Plan
and the NASSCO proposal.
Council Conference scheduled It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded
by Councilman Egdahl and unanimously
carried that a Council Conference be
scheduled for this item.
