opment plans for E1 Rancho del Rey.
REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT PIANS Mr. Bruce H. Warren, Director of Planning,
submitted maps of the proposed development,
and detailed the status of the current general
development plan.
In discussing the proposed school sites, Mr.
Warren noted those sites under private owner-
ship, and that property owned by Otay Land
Company. He reviewed the criteria for selec-
tion of a school site co~nenting that if it
is the best site, it shouldn't matter whether
or not it is on Otay Land Company property or
privately owned property.
Sewer arrangement The Council held a discussion with Mr. Lane
Cole~ Director of Public Works, pertaining
to the engineering problems relative to the
sewers.
School sites City Attorney Lindberg stated it was the ob-
ligation of the school districts to take
whatever steps necessary to acquire the prop-
erty fom school sites. It would be the obli-
gation of thc developer to sell the property,
and if no agreement can be reached~ then the
school districts can resort to condemnation
of the property.
Bernie Houser, Facilities Director, Mr. Houser declared they had no intention of
Chula Vista Elementary School giving up the school sites, unless they can
District get an exchange from the developer that would
cost them nothing.
Mr. Joliff, Sweetwater Union High Mr. Joliff remarked that his District gave
School District tentative approval to the junior high school
location. There are problems with the site,
however, because it is under private owner-
ship and there are other school sites in the
area. Mr. Joliff indicated that a site to
the east would be more desirable.
Annual review Mr. Warren co~mnented that the only way these
problems will be settled is to make decisions.
After adoption of a general development plan,
there will be an annual review of the plan.
City Attorney's comment Mr. Lindberg noted that substantial changes
to the Plan will automatically go to the
Planning Commission and City Council for
approval.
