native is to rezone the property to something
less than R-3-G.
Frank E. Ferreira Mr. Ferreira discussed AB 1301, stating it
Chula Vista was his understanding that the Bill was not
mandatory and did not require all these changes
being considered at this meeting. It was
his further understanding tkat the Bill
refers to acreages that are forty acres or
more; anything less than forty acres fails
into the option of the cities as to whether
or not they care to comply.
Opinion of City Attorney City Attorney Lindberg explained the ruling
of thc Attorney General, and added that most
of the cities are making every effort to
bring about the changes that would allow
development in accordance with an ad6pted
General Plan ~ or at least not prevent any
obstacle to development in accordance with
that Plan,
Mayor Hamilton noted that any change of zone
initiated by the Council would have to go back
to the Planning Commission for a public hearing.

REPORT ON PALOMAR STREET- In a report to the Council, Acting Director
OLEANDER AVENUE EXTENSION of Planning Williams and Director of Public
STUDY - ACTING DIRECTOR OF Works Cole discussed the Palomar Street
PLANNING extension east of Interstate 805 and
Oleander Avenue.
This was considered at the Council meeting
of April 19, 1972, at which time staff was
directed to investigate the possibility of
not developing Palomar Street and Oleander
Avenue as major collector streets.
Two public meetings were held on this matter
in order to get input from the property
owners in the area as to various alterna-
tives and ramifications of each.
The recommendation of the staff was that both
streets ultimately be extended through the
park to complete the circulation system,
but that these streets be extended through
the park at a reduced width (minus parking -
travel ways only, which would make Oleander
two lanes and Palomar four lanes) and that
the streets be designed and constructed as
part of the overall design of the park to
insure a functional relationship between the
streets and the park.
- 11 -
Cost estimates were submitted for each
street segment.
Report accepted It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman Hobel and unanimously carried
that the report be accepted.

held at the Comprehensive Planning Organiza-
tion meeting regarding this subject.
Mayor Hamilton read the resolution submitted
by Mayor Stites in which support was re-
quested for a continuing channelization to
the Pacific Ocean in order to protect the
habited areas of Imperial Beach and the
natural wildlife from flooding.
Discussion A discussion followed concerning the Council's
previous consideration of this matter and
its strong objection to a concrete channel.
Motion for resolution It was moved by Mayor Hamilton and seconded
by Councilman }lobel that a resolution be
brought back supporting some type afflood con-
trol Of that area in Imperial Beach which
might be affected by the channel being built
in Mexico - the support to be based on the
health, safety and welfare of the area.
