Donald Worley, Attorney Mr. Worley stated he is representing
Seizer, Caplan, Wilkins American Housing Guild. He asked for
and McMahon Council approval of the request, declaring
3003 Fourth Avenue the area designated for R-3 is ideally
San Diego situated and would provide a diversity
of housing projects.
Speaking in opposition Speaking in opposition were: John
Sipula, 268 Shasta Street; Bill Binn,
252 Sandstone; Ted Silva, 1537 Malta
Avenue; J. T. Taylor, 54 Walnut Drive;
Mrs. H. Pankhurst, 954 £ittywake Lane;
Evelyn Gillespie, 4052 Main Street;
Donald Hickle, 231 Talus Street;
Mr. Gutirrez, 1547 Marl Avenue; Basil M.
Rein, 1525 Malta Avenue; Beverly
Crawford, 1551 Marl Avenue; Shirley
Nelson, 255 Malito Court; Barbara
Silva, 1537 Malta Avenue; Robert
Randolph, 309 Slate Street. They
stated as their objections: (1) people
in the area were promised a park, not
multiple-family units; (2) there are no
openings planned in the design of Orange
Avenue; (3) it would increase the popu-
lation in the area; (4) the homes are
all single-family and constructing
multiple-family units would be an in-
trusion in the area; (5) increased
traffic; (6) would have a tremendous
impact on the school situation;
(7) Woodlawn Park residents would
have no way of getting to Orange Avenue
because of the street design. Mr.
Taylor explained that he had to set back
50' from Walnut Drive, and if the de-
velopers build right up to the line
designated on the map, it would leave
only 25' for the road to Walnut Avenue.
If the street is ever to be widened,
then these residents will have to give
up their land to widen it; (8) three
years ago, the residents in this area
were promised a new school, and none
has been built -- the children are still
being bussed; (9) request that the con-
tours of the land be maintained in
their natural state; (10) request that
the Council take no action on this matter
until after the LAFCO hearing; (11)
the 100' barrier proposed between the
single-family and multiple-family com-
plex is just a way to hide the R-3
development; (12) multiple-flmily use
will get a number of transients into
the area; (13) apartments should not be
built next to a single-family development;
(14) average population in the United
States is 3.7 people per family, and at
7.2 units per acre makes it 69.2 bodies.
(Senior Planner Williams declared that
the average population per single family
dwelling unit in Chula Vista is 3.5, and
the average household in a multi-family
unit in Chula Vista is 2.5 people.); (15)
lived in the area for over 7 years and
were not aware that the property was
zoned R-3 at any time; (16) the configura-
tion of Orange Avenue would leave no
opening for the children to get to Loma
Verde Park; (17) there is a question as
- 6 -
to who will benefit from the construction
of the multiple-family units; (18) when
apartments are permitted into an area,
it "becomes a sort of cancer" and it
spreads; (19) want a statement as to
when the school is to be built.
School Councilman Scott explained that the
Albany School site has been acquired and
will be developed simultaneously with
the Park - within the next two years.
Petition presented Mr. Silva presented a petition iR
opposition containing 191 signatures
representing 140 property owners.
A show of hands indicated that 10 people
in the audience that did not speak were
in opposition to the request.
Walnut Drive Senior Planner Williams commented that
they have been unable to determine if
Walnut Drive is a dedicated street.
City Attorney Lindberg explained that
the question of Walnut Drive is still
unresolved, q]lis matter was raised at
the LAFCO hearing relative to the
approval of annexation of this property
to Chula Vista. It was pointed out by
the County Counsel's office that LAFCO
did not have the authorization to impose
a requirement, or condition of annexation,
that some arrangement be made regarding
Walnut Drive.
Rebuttal In rebuttal, Mr. Worley stated to the
Council that they had all the pertinent
facts before them, and asked that they
base their decision on the recommendations
made by the Planning Commission and
Planning staff.
