APPROVAL OF MINUTES It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Councilman Scott and unanimously car- ried that the minutes of the meeting of September 11, 1973 be approved, copies having been sent to each Councilman. 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" Street and Trousdale. Clarification of motion Councilman Hyde also included in the motion the conditions stipulated by the staff recommendations for approval plus a satis- factory resolution of the construction of a north-south street between Brisbane and Trousdale, and that truck traffic on North Glover between "C" and Trousdale be prohib- ited.

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 four members would be present, he asked for a postponement of this hearing (the appeal needs four votes to override the decision of the Planning Commission).
