PROPERTY AT 400 EAST "J" STREET Mr. William Jasinek, Director of Parks and Recreation, discussed the two parcels of surplus property north of "J" Street at Interstate 805. He recommended that the Council not lease the 1.3 parcel on the west side of 805 from the State, and the remaining parcel to the east of 805 (1.78 acres) adjacent to the Halecrest playground should be leased. He added that the parcel at 400 East "J" Street is directly across the street from the 1.78 acre parcel, and discussed the questionable desirability of two parks located on opposite sides of a major collector street. Motion to pursue lease of one site It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by Councilman Hyde that (1) in light of the facts presented, the arguments for leasing the parcel on the north side of "J" Street are strong and should be pursued; the parcel on the south side would necessi- tate a large expenditure of money; and (2) the parcel proposed for lease would be com- patible with the adjacent school use, and it would be in the interest of the City to have the lease pursued, but the purchase of the parcel on the south side for park pur- poses be declined. Councilman Egdahl clar- ified the motion by stating that he is ac- cepting the reconanendation of the Director or Parks and Recreation. Motion questioned Councilman Scott indicated the motion was premature. He would prefer to have the public hearing opened and testimony received before he decides how to vote on this issue° Motion withdrawn Councilman Egdahl withdrew his motion; Councilman Hyde withdrew his second. PUBLIC HEARING (continued) - Director of Planning Warren submitted a Considering Appeal of Property plat noting the property in question as Owners of Planning Commission comprising slightly more than one acre with Action in Granting a Zone Variance approximately 20,000 square feet of this on to Owner of Property on South Side a level pad. The applicant had originally of "J" Street, Abutting Easterly requested approval of the division of this Boundary of 1-805 parcel into 4 lots, 3 with frontage on the easement. The City Planning Commission approved e variance for 3 lots, each of which would contain in excess of 12,000 square feet. The two lots without street frontage would be served with a 20-foot wide easement, and off-street parking would be provided. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton declared the public hearing opened. Speaking in favor of appeal Speaking in favor of the appeal were: Dale Hoffland, 446 East "J" Street; Aubrey Kes- terson, 428 East "J" Street; William McClel- land, 442 East "J" Street; Robert Eo Lee, 446 Wlllowcrest, and Helen Lee, 446 Willow- crest. They stated as their reasons: (1) the traffic congestion that would be created; (2) no hardship exists pertaining to the property that would warrant creating 3 lots instead of Z; (3) the purchase price of the property was noted--S7,777; (4) less than one-half of the property is usable space to build on; (5) the 20-foot wide driveway would be unsightly and crowded; (6) the driveway would be within 10 feet of the ~- adjacent residence's bedroom; (7) applicant will not be building the lots as a unit-- they will be sold separately; (8) serious problems will be created by the construction and maintenance of a sewage pumping station; (9) question as to the compaction tests made° City Attorney comments Mr. Lindberg explained that the applicant could divide his parcel into 2 lots by a parcel map, which would not require approval by the Co~gnission or Council. He is request- lng 3 lots~ 2 of which do not front on a -2- dedicated street; therefore, a variance is required. Mr. Lindberg commented that the applicant could put in a public road, dedicate it to the City, and put the three lots on it. Petition noted City Clerk Fulasz noted the petition of protest received by the Planning Commission and forwarded to her office, signed by 91 residents representing 57 properties. 8peaking against appeal Mr. Frank Phillips, Civil Engineer retained by Mr. Harris, discussed the lots in ques- tion stating the creation of three lots would actually benefit the traffic pattern, since the residents would be driving straight out onto East "J" Street, rather than back- ing out~ if 2 lots were created. Mro Phil- lips noted that the compaction tests, taken 3 feet from the surface~ was 90+ which meets the requirements of the State Highway spec- ifications. Councilman Scott noted that "T"-shaped driveways or circular driveways could be required so that the residents would not back up on a major street. Mr. Tom Harris: 1642 Greenfield Mr. Harris, the applicant, remarked that if Drive he was required to split the parcel into 2 lots, they would measure the length of a football field, or approximately 480 feet. Public hearing closed There being no further co,~ments, either for or against, Mayor Hamilton declared the hearing closed. Speaking in favor Councilman Hyde discussed the conditions imposed by the Planning Co~m~ission and the addition of the architectural control zone. He felt that all of the safeguards have been taken to insure a good development which would enhance the area. Motion to deny appeal It was moved by Councilman Hyde and seconded by Councilman Scott that the appeal be denied. Motion carries The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Hyde~ Egdahl~ Scott, Hamilton Noes: Councilman Hobel Absent: None Motion to move No. 17 up on It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded Agenda (Veterans Points) by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that item No. 17 be considered next. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION Mr. Tom McCabe, Director of Personnel, RECOMMENDATION TO AMEND CIVIL stated that the Civil Service Co~mission SERVICE RULE IV, SECTION 8~ is recormnending that Civil Service Rule IV, VETERANS PREFERENCE Section 8, be amended to include only the period of time which does not exceed five years prior to the date of application and to provide this advantage to all veterans who have been honorably discharged or re- tired from active service. The preference points for disabled veterans would remain the same. -3- Veterans going to college Councilman Hyde questioned a veteran going to college for five years beyond the time of his expiration from the service -- would he be able to get the preference points. M_v. McCabe stated he would not, that the expiration date starts when he leaves the service, regardless of whether or not he attends college. Percentage of applicants Councilman Scott questioned the number of veterans that apply for jobs in this City. Mr. McCabe remarked that 10% of the appli- cants applying for base jobs are veterans, and out of that, 7% to 8~ qualify. Non-declared war In answer to the Attorney's inquiry, Mr. McCabe stated that an ex-serviceman who served between the years 1955-1963, even though disabled, would not qualify. Councilman Scott's comments Councilman Scott discussed the 10% who apply for the entering examinations, which he felt was not a significant magnitude. He felt the veterans points was not too much to give to these people who took out quite a bit of time from their lives to serve. Motion not to accept reco~endation It was moved by Councilman Scott~ seconded of Civil Service Commission by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that the Council not adopt the recommenda- tion of the Civil Service CormmissiOno Recess Mayor Hamilton called a recess at 9:02 P.M. and the meeting reconvened at 9:15 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING (continued) This hearing was readvertised from the CONSIDERATION OF VARIOUS AMEND- meeting of April 20 so that the staff MENTS TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE would have time to consider some of the ZONING ORDINANCE amendments proposed at that meeting. Director of Planning Mr. Warren referred to the report submitted tO the Council in which he reviewed the recommended changes. He discussed the changes to the R-i, R-2, R-3, C-O zones, along with the Unclassified Uses and Special Provisions. Non-conforming uses in C-O zone The Council held a general discussion of these uses. City Attorney Lindberg explained that if non-conforming uses were to continue in the C-O zone, it should be recognized that the zoning as applied to the area is considered to be in the best interest of the community and those uses do enjoy a sp~ial benefits position. If they were allowed to enjoy the signing restrictions, or any other type of restriction that would be common to their use if toeated in the proper zone, rather than to have to adhere to the restric- tions of the C-O zone, this would be giving them double benefit. Term "arbitrary" explained City Attorney Lindberg discussed the side yard and rear yard setbacks where the term "arbitrary" is used. For the record, he stated that this term has a legal meaning -4- as well as a lay meaning. The establish- ment of the side yard setbacks is done according to custom to achieve proper light and air, and they are reasonably calculated to arrive at a particular goal. They may be "arbitrary" in the s~n~e that you cannot, in each instance, note that each precise amount is necessary to achieve that goalo However, customarily and ~niformly applied, they would achieve that goal. The Council should be on record concurring that none of these are ~rbitrary"in the legal sense. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton declared the public hearing opened. Richard Schuller, 549 Third Avenue Mr. Schuller stated he was a realtor with offices on Third Avenue, zoned C-O. He requested that the Planning staff's recom- mendation on this zone be considered. There are presently a good many free-standing signs on Third Avenue, and it may mean that he will have to tear down some of his signs but, mainly he wants proper identification. Eugene York, 280 '~" Street Mr. York stated ha would like to see more flexibility in the R-3 zone, or another zone that would have a density more restric- tive than the 2~500 square feet--one that would spell out 2,900 square feet, 3,000 square feet, etc. He felt this would require more study on the part of the staff. The R-3-M zone is fine, but what they need additionally is a multi-family zone that has a density of less than 2,500 square feet. At the last hearing~ Mr. York added~ he suggested that the B-2 zone should be a density controlled zone or an R-3 zone established that would give them the flex- ibility or a density somewhere near the R-2 zone. Special provisions Mr. York felt these requirements should not be mandatory. The developer should not be put in a position to have to apply for a variance in order to get these requirements waived. R-3 densities Mr. Warren stated he would have no objection to studying the R-3 zoning densities further. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. City Attorney's comments City Attorney Lindberg suggested the areas of disputation be settled and that he be directed to bring back an ordinance incor- porating these changes in two weeks. Motion to bring back ordinance It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that an ordinance be brought back incorpo- rating the changes as made in the staff cormments~ and as presented tonight. The C-O and R-3 zone recormnendations to bc sent back to the Planning Gormnission for further study, taking into consideration the remarks made by Mr. York. Councilman Hyde felt there was merit in con- sidering going back to the designations they had in the R-3 zone~ sometime ago. -5- PUBLIC HEARING - CITY'S INTENTION TO Director of Planning Warren submitted a ANNEX RANCHO RIOS MAIN STREET plat noting the location of the property ANNEXATION as south of Otay Valley Road and west of Interstate 805 right-of-way and containing 92.4 acres.
