The appli- cants, George H. and Lucile G. Sears and E1 Cajon Valley Development Company, have requested prezoning to P-C which, if approved, will result in the develop- ment of precise plans on which requests for specific zoning would be based. The project involves 7 units, 3 of which would be single-family dwelling units, one would be multiple-family dwelling units, another an elementary school site, a neighborhood park site and a small convenience shopping center. The project proposes approximately 1,200 dwelling units, two-thirds of which would be single- family units for sale by lot or condominium, with the remaining one-third land for rental apartments.

Councilman Scott reported that at a meeting of the Park-School Committee recently~ they discussed having the triangular-shaped parcel to the north between Orange Avenue and the future collector street included in this project. They felt it would be a logical place to have a park. Mr, Rick indicated that this was their first plan; however, they are having problems with that particular property owner. In view of this, they were asked to develop the park site to the south, which they feel they can do. There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed.

REPORT ON AMENDING CARD ROOM ORDINANCE City Attorney Lindberg stated he has prepared the revised ordinance with the conditions imposed by the Police Department and the City Council, as dis- cussed at the Council meeting of October 13, 1970. Captain Seiveno of the Police Department stated the ordinance, as submitted, is agreeable to the Police Depart- ment.

The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: None Absent: None REPORT REGARDING COMPUTATION OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES City Attorney Lindberg stated this report was brought about as a result of the contract regarding the Loma Verde pool. He declared that liquidated dam- ages is not a penalty but rather an intent to set a measurement where it is not feasible or practical to establish actual damages for a contract which runs beyond a certain point in time; damages in this case would be fixed at a certain figure. It has been established that a municipality is entitled to certain dam- ages because of the fact that the inhabitants of the city are not allowed to use the facility. Once the pool, in this case, is open for use by the citizens, it is no longer possible to assert that damages are suffered by the municipality. Liquidated damages, therefore, is terminated when the pool is taken over by the City and open to the public and not when the City acts to accept the facility and the lien period starts. Councilman Hobel stated he would like to have the staff evaluate what the liquidated damages will be on all future contracts, and this provision put in. REPORT ON MASSAGE PARLORS City Attorney Lindberg stated he has discussed this matter with attorneys in San Diego and Los Angeles and cited a case presently being appealed in Los Angeles. The lower court ruled that the matter of such prohibition was pre- empted, and that the local ordinance (County-Los Angeles) was unconstitutional. This matter is being appealed and will be heard by the Appellate Court. This will take a year or more, and their decision will be binding upon the whole State. Mr. Lindberg stated it would be his reeomanendation that the Council deny Mr. Besker his license and he can institute this as a test case, if he so desires. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hobel, and unan- imously carried that a license for a massage parlor be denied to Mr. Nicholas Besker, based upon the fact that the applicant has stated he will conduct the business in contr&vention of the provisions of the City ordinance. /~vo~ ~m~c ~ -5- Miss Mary Harvey, 530 Broadway, San Diego, attorney representing the applicant, stated this was an unfair penalty to impose upon her client in view of the money and time he will have to spend to bring legal action to appeal this decision. Mr. Nicholas Besker, 267 Woedlawn Avenue, the applicant, asked for clarification of the Council's action. City Attorney Lindberg explained the action and added that if Mr. Besker would conduct the business in conformity with the ordinance~ then a massage license will be issued to him. REPORT REGARDING WAIVER OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS AND ALTERNATIVES City Attorney Lindberg referred to the report submitted by the Acting Chief Administrative Officer citing various alternatives the Council can take in this matter. He stressed the point that if the Council does, in fact, grant a waiver, they must make findings to substantiate that act. The Council discussed the time element for the installation of the street improvements; Director of Planning Warren stated the subdivision to the east will be ready to develop in approximately six months or more. Councilman Hobei sug- gested the Council enlarge upon the Planning Commission's action and grant them an indefinite deferral until such time as the Council deems the improvements should go in, and also, waive any surety bond. Councilman Scott agreed, adding that a time certain, five years, should be stipulated. Mrs. Kay Smith, President of the Board of Directors, Starlight Center, stated this extension of time would solve their problems at the present time. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hobei, and unanimously carried that the City Attorney draw up a contract, for the next meeting of the Council (November 3, 1970) deferring the installation of the public improvements for Starlight Center for five years. REPORT ON REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF MOVE-IN OF DWELLING TO 4140 CALLE LA MIRADA Senior Building Inspector Gingerich stated the amount of the bond, as discussed at the last meeting of the City Council (October 13~ 197~), for the move-in has been refigured, and they estimate that an $8,000 bond will be con- sidered adequate to insure completion of the work. The figures have been detailed in a report submitted to the Council which also states the cost of the bond. It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Councilman Scott, and unan- imously carried that approval be granted for the move-in at 4140 Calle La Mirada, subject to the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission and the Building Inspection Department, with the added requirement that the amount of the bond be specified as $8,000. RESOLUTION - APPROVING TENTATIVE MAP OF HOLIDAY ESTATES SUBDIVISION~ UNIT NO. 6 Director of Planning Warren briefly explained the concept of development and added that this item was continued from the last meeting so the developers could be notified to be present to answer questions. Mr. John Morgan~ representing Jafro~ Inc.~ discussed the proposed project, the parking situation, and the landscaping proposed, noting that a major park is being proposed adjacent to this development. The Council discussed the lack of open space in the project and the traffic congestion that will be generated by this development. Councilman Scott commented he is quite concerned about this, and suggested a meeting with the Planning Commission to discuss this concept of development. Director of Planning Warren indicated this development was one of several concepts of providing low-cost housing, and it should be explored. It was moved by Councilman Scott~ seconded by Councilman Hobel~ and unan- imously carried that the Council hold a joint meeting with the Planning Commis- sion and the developers of this project on Thursday, October 29, 1970, to discuss the concept of this development; the various concepts of lower-income housing, and the provisions of the R-2-T zone.

It was estab- lished that this was a Planning Commission meeting night and the Council could not have the use of the Chamber. CHANGE IN ZONING ORDINANCE Councilman Hyde discussed the proposed development adjacent to Bonita Cove Subdivision whereby construction is being done in compliance with the City Code, but the rear yard setbacks are much too close to the rear property lines of the adjacent properties. -7- Director of Planning Warren stated he will be presenting a package of amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to the Planning Con~nission within a month~ and one of the amendments reco~znended will rectify this situation. Councilman Hyde indicated he did not want to wait for the package, but would rather have this presented as a single item for Council consideration. It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded Councilman Hobel, and unani- mously carried that the Planning staff be directed to prepare a reco~nended change to the Zoning Ordinance as soon as possible in order to prevent this situation from occurring again.

ORAL CO}~CONICATIONS Mrs. Darlene Reed, 173 Rivera Court, asked that the Council not support the concept of development as presented by Holiday Estates Subdivision, Unit No. 6.
