In order to correct this problem, staff proposes to change the street name of the portion of Cordova Drive south of East "J" Street to V erano Drive. Cordova Drive is an existing public street and, therefore, requires Planning Commission/City Council action to change. The Environmental Projects Manager has determined that the project is exempt under Section 15301 Class I(c) of CEQA because it involves only a minor alteration of an existing street involving no expansion of its use. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution PCM-00-2Irecommending that the City Council approve the name change of the portion of Cordova Drive south of East "J" Street to Verano Drive in accordance with the attached draft City Council Resolution No._. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: On August 26, 1999, the Mayor's office received a complaint via e-mail from a resident that they were having problems with mail deliveries at their home on Cordova Drive in Rancho Del Rey SPA III. Upon inspection by Engineering staff, it was discovered that the problem was due to the fact that 900 series addresses existed on Cordova Drive on segments both north and south of East "J" Street (see Exhibit A). Although no two addresses are repeated, having 900 numbers north and south of East "J" Street causes confusion for postal and other miscellaneous deliveries. After receiving the complaint, staff determined the address problem was created in 1995 due to confusion about the sequence of development for this portion of Rancho Del Rey SPA III. Addresses were assigned along Cordova Drive in three phases; first phase was Cordova Drive south of East "J" Street, second phase was north of East "J" Street up to Dorado Way and the last phase was from Dorado Way to its terminus at the cul-de-sac. At the time the second phase was addressed (East "]" Street to Dorado Way), it was not expected that Cordova Drive would continue further to the east. At the time the last phase was created, staff had no other choice than Page 2, Item: Meeting Date: 3/22/00 to continue the decreasing addressing sequence to the end of Cordova Drive. This resulted in 900 series addresses both north and south of East "J" Street. Staff consulted the Police and Fire Departments to determine if this addressing situation posed a problem that could result in delayed response times. Both departments indicated that emergency response times could be delayed because the emergency unit could possibly make the wrong turn onto Cordova Drive from East "J" Street. If this were to happen, the emergency unit could possibly be delayed several minutes before reaching the residents with the emergency. Both departments also strongly urged that this situation be rectified by means of changing the address numbers or changing the street name of either the north or south half of Cordova Drive. Staff determined it would be best to make the address changes to the residents on the south half of Cordova Drive because it would affect less people. There are 19 homes on Cordova Drive south of East "]" Street versus 34 homes on the north side. A certified letter was mailed to the Cordova Drive residents south of East "J" Street in September 1999, indicating the City was proposing to change their street address number in order to rectify the address situation. Staff then received numerous complaints from these residents about that proposal. It was then decided to hold a public meeting with the residents to explain the importance and reasoning behind the address change. This public meeting was held on December 9, 1999, and included City representatives from the Police and Fire Departments, Engineering Division and the Mayor's office. Unfortunately, only 3 out of the 19 affected residents attended this meeting. After the various City representatives explained the importance of the address change, the residents present concurred something had to be done. One of the residents at the meeting asked if there would be compensation to help in the cost of new mailing labels for personal and home business correspondence. Staff indicated that it was not normal procedure to pay home and business owners for address changes, but that an inquiry would be made with the City Attorney's office regarding their request. After further consultation with various City departments, it was determined that it would not be appropriate to reimburse the residents for the street name change. The residents at the public meeting requested that instead of changing the address numbers on the houses, that the name of the street be changed instead. Staff agreed that changing the street name would work equally as well as changing address numbers. This alternative would also be less costly for the residents since they would not have to physically change the address numbers on their homes. Staff suggested that the street name be changed to Camino Atajo, which is the name of the adjoining street and would create a continuous loop. The residents did not like Camino Atajo and asked if they could choose a new street name. Staff said they could pick a new street name as long as a majority of the residents voted in favor of the name proposed and the new name was not in conflict with other existing street names. One of the residents at the public meeting, Mrs. Lisa Davis from 941 Cordova Drive, offered to coordinate the street name selection and take a vote among all the affected residents. On February 2, 2000, Mrs. Davis sent staff an e-mail with a list of three new street name options that the residents voted 9 to 6 in favor of. Their first choice, Verano Drive, was reviewed by appropriate City staff and found to be acceptable. -"~-----'''-_.. Page 3, Item: Meeting Date: 3/22/00 In addition to standard public hearing notifications, the affected property owners were notified by specific Jetter the week of March 6, 2000, regarding staffs proposal ofrecommending Verona Drive as the new street name to the Planning Commission (see Exhibit B). Conclusion Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the resolution recommending that the City Council approve the name change of the portion of Cordova Drive south of East "J" Street to V erano Drive for the following reasons: · This name change will end the confusion that exists today due to 900 series addresses on Cordova Drive both north and south of East "J" Street. · The name change will eliminate possible emergency response delays due to address confusion. · The name change will eliminate delays in mail and other package deliveries to the area.

On December 9, 1999, the City held a public meeting with residents of Cordova Drive, south of East "J" Street to discuss a solution addressing problem. At the public meeting, it was decided to change the street name instead of changing the house numbers. Residents at the meeting requested to be able to choose the new street name and the City accepted this request. Mrs. Lisa Davis, resident at 941 Cordova Drive, offered to act as the coordinator for soliciting street name proposals ftom the residents involved. On February 2,.2000, I received an e-mail message ftom Mrs. Davis informing me the residents voted on a new street name and that the majority voted for VERANO DRIVE as the first choice. This name appears to be acceptable by all affected City departments and I will be presenting this proposal for consideration to the City Planning Commission at the next available meeting. This meeting will be held in the Council Chambers of the Public Services Building, 276 Fourth Avenue located at the northwest comer of Fourth Avenue and F Street. The meeting will be held on March 22,2000 beginning at 6:00 p.m. and is open to all members of the public. Following the Planning Commission meeting, the City Council must approve the name change. I will notify you again by mail when the City Council is scheduled to hear the proposed name change of Cordova Drive to VERANO DRIVE. Once the name change is approved, you will have one year to change your address to the new street name on all your personal correspondence. During this time you will receive mail addressed to both Verano Drive and Cordova Drive. If you have any questions regarding this letter or need directions for the public meeting, please contact Silvester Evetovich, Civil Engineer at 691-5115. CLIFFORD L.

STAFF CONTACT: Resolution recommending that the City Council grant a twenty percent (20%) density bonus, eliminate the required guest parking, and allow 21 percent of the required parking as compact parking spaces to facilitate the construction of a maximum of ten (10) low-income dwelling units for an existing 40 unit multifamily residential development, known as Kingswood Manor, located at 54- 94 Kingswood Drive to be developed by IPMG, Inc. Leilani Hines, Community Development Departmen~ The applicant, IPMG, Inc., has submitted an Affordable Housing Application requesting a twenty percent (20%) density bonus and modifications of certain development standards pursuant to Califomia Govemment Code Section 65915. Specifically, the applicant is requesting the elimination of guest parking and the design of 21 percent of the parking spaces as compact spaces. Such development incentives are contemplated under the provisions found in the Califomia Government Code Section 65915 and the Chula Vista Housing Element. The request, if approved, would facilitate the construction of 10 additional low-income units to an existing 40 unit mullifamily residential development. The proposed project is a 3.32 acre site located at 54-94 Kingswood Drive. As specified in Section 65195 (b), for qualified affordable housing projects, the City must either (1) grant a minimum 25 percent increase, unless a lesser percentage is elected by the developer, over the othelWise maximum residential density, and provide at least one additional regulatory concession or incentive (unless it finds the additional incentive unnecessary); or (2) provide other incentives of equal financial value based upon land cost per dwelling. The Planning and Environmental Manager has determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15280 of the California Code of Regulations. That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution recommending that the City Council approve the requested 20 percent increase in density, the elimination of the required guest parking, and the allowance of 21 percent of the required parking be compact parking spaces to facilitate the construction of a maximum often (10) low-income dwelling units for an existing 40 unit multifamily residential development, known as Kingswood Manor, based on the findings and subjectto the conditions contained in the attached Draft City Council Resolution. On December 15, 1999, the Housing Advisory Commission voted to recommend the requested density bonus and modifications to deveiopment standards, with the condition that the project participate in the City's Multifamily Crime Free Housing Program.

The property is currently developed with five two-story buildings and 100 parking spaces. Each building consists of eight dwelling units. The general area is characterized by single-family homes and a mobilehome community to the west. 2. General Plan.

Proiect DescriDtion The applicant is proposing the development of an additional 1 0 three-bedroom apartment units, an additional trash collection area, a children's play area, and a redesign of the parking area to accommodate 4 handicapped spaces within the 100 spaces. All 1 0 units will be affordable to and occupied by low-income households. The proposal involves a request for a 20 percent density bonus, the elimination of the required guest parking, and 21 percent compact parking spaces. Density Bonus: The applicant is requesting a 20 percent density bonus to increase the project density from 40 to 50 (1 0 additional units) dwelling units. Ten of the units will be restricted for occupancy by low-income households, defined as households with an income at 80% or below of the Area Median Income. Currently, the income for a low-income household of five is set at $45,350 a year. Rent for the affordable low-income units shall not exceed 30 percent of the income for a household of five at 60 percent of the AMI or $850 per month. Currently, rent for the market rate units are $975 per month. Rent and occupancy restrictions will be maintained for a period of no less than 30 years and will bind all subsequent owners, so that the commitment remains in force regardless of ownership. Parkina: Section 19.62.050 of the Municipal Code requires two parking spaces for each three-bedroom unit and one space for every ten spaces may be compact. Standard parking spaces measure 9 feet x 20 feet and compact spaces measure 7.5 feet x 15 feet. As approved in the original Precise Plan (76-14), one half-guest parking space for each unit was provided and this project should conform to the development standards of the Precise Plan. Therefore, the project would normally require a total of 100 spaces and 25 guest-parking spaces, of which 12 of the parking spaces could be compact. The applicant is providing the required 100 parking spaces for residents and is requesting the elimination of guest parking spaces and to provide 21 percent of the parking spaces as compact spaces. A total of 1 00 parking spaces are proposed, with 4 of these spaces provided for handicapped/accessible parking. 2 ---....--.-.....--."'- Page 3, Item Meeting Date 03/22/00 NO. of ParKing Required Proposed Description Units Standard ParKing ParKing Three-Bedroom 50 2 S<1aces/DU 100 100 Guest ParKinQ 50 0.5 Soace/DU 25 0 Handicap Inclusive 0 4 TOTAL 50 125 100 Open Space: The Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.28.090 requires 600 square feet of open space per dwelling unit for multi- family projects. The open space may be provided in common usable open space areas, private patios, balconies, or common recreational facilities The project will provide a total of 72,560 square feet of open space or 1,450 square feet per unit. Additionally, the applicant is proposing alterations to the pool area, the addition of a children's play area, and overall site improvements. The pool area will be renovated to eliminate the spa and provide a gazebo. The applicant will be adding a trash collection area, repainting the buildings, and completing repairs to the project 4. Analysis Land Use Compatibilitv: As noted above, the site is surrounded by other residential uses. The site is served by public transportation. Bus service is provided along Hilltop Drive, one block from the project site. A public park is located directly adjacent to the project site on the south side. Both a junior high school and a high school are located within one block of the project. Therefore, it is staffs opinion that the site is appropriate for affordable housing and is highly compatible with the surrounding land uses. Densitv Bonus: As specified in Section 65195 (b), the City shall grant a minimum 25 percent increase, unless a lesser percentage is elected by the developer, over the otherwise maximum residential density and at least one additional concession or incentive to a developer of housing agreeing or proposing to construct at least: 1) 20 percent of the total units for low income households; 2) 10 percent of the total units for very low income households; or 3) 50 percent of the total units for seniors. In addition, the City must grant at least one additional incentive or concession as defined in Section 65195(h} or make a written finding that the additional incentive or concession is not required to provide the affordable housing. Such incentives include one of the following: 1) Reduction or modification of Development Standards, Zoning Codes or Architectural Design Requirements, 2) Permit mixed use zoning within the housing development; or 3) Allow other regulatory incentives or concessions. As an altemative, the City could provide financial incentives of an equivalent value. This proposal calls for ten additional units, or 20 percent of the project, to be restricted for low-income households. The request also includes a modification to the guest parking standards of the project's original Precise Plan. Large family housing for lower income households is a high priority need identified in the City's Housing Element of the General Plan. This project supports the City's Housing Element, which calls for the provision of adequate rental housing opportunities for low and very low-income households. The project complies with a top priority set out in the City's Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development. This priority is to implement the City's Affordable Housing Program so that more newly constructed rental and for sale units are made available to low and moderate income households, with priority given to very low and low income families. 3 Page 4, Item Meeting Date 03/22/00 This project meets the requirements of State law to provide 20 percent of the total units for low-income househoids. The proposed project aiso meets the required 30 years of affordabiiity. In order for the applicant to provide such affordability for the 30 year term, the requested density bonus and reductions or modifications to standards are required. Lastiy, a Housing Cooperation Agreement will be executed between the City and the applicant specifying the affordability and occupancy restrictions. It is staffs intent that said Agreement will place restrictive covenants on the property limiting occupancy and afford ability of ten units for low income households. Parkina: The City's parking standards would require the project to provide 125 parking spaces, with 25 of those spaces for guest parking. The property's size and the existing development would not be able to accommodate more than the existing 40 three bedroom units, 10 additional units, the proposed play area, trash collection area and the required 100 parking spaces for residents. While the parking requirements could be met off-site, there is no parking available within close proximity of this project. Should the City require compliance with the City's guest parking standards, the project would not be feasible. The elimination of guest parking and provision of compact spaces is required to deveiop any additional units on the site. The applicant contends that the existing parking facilities are not fully utilized. A recent survey of vehicles owned by residents found that the total number of vehicles for the 40 units is 61 or 1.5 vehicles per unit (See Exhibit 1). Staff anticipates that the underutilization of the parking facilities would continue, even with the additional development of ten three bedroom units. Based upon the applicant's survey, the proposed 100 parking spaces would be sufficient to accommodate the proposed 50 total units and spaces would still be available to accommodate guests. Parking is available on the streets directly adjacent to the project(Kingswood Drive, Tobias Drive and First Avenue). On street parking available along First Avenue would not significantly impact residents on First Avenue. There are only a few residences with frontage along First Avenue. Palace Garden Mobilehome Park directly abuts First Avenue, just west of the project. There is no access from Palace Garden to First Avenue. Staff supports the proposed elimination of guest parking spaces and allowing 21 percent of such spaces to be provided as compact spaces. Standard parking spaces measure 9 feet x 20 feet and compact spaces measure 7.5 feet x 15 feet. Per Section 19.62.050 ofthe Municipal Code, one space for every ten spaces may be provided as a compact space. The proposed additional units are to be occupied by low-income households. It is envisioned based upon the current use of the parking facilities, that the majority of these households do not have two or more vehicles. The site is located one block from public transportation, lessening the need to own a vehicle. Open Space: Consistent with Section 19.28.090 of the Municipal Code, requiring a minimum of 600 sq, feet of open space per dwelling unit, the project is exceeding that by providing a total of 1,450 sq. feet per dwelling unit. The applicant is providing additional recreational amenities and overall improvements to the site. Additionally, the project is located directly adjacent to a park. The existing development does not provide private open space. Consistent with the design and amenities of the existing units, the applicant is not proposing private open space for the ten new units. 4.i Page 5, Item Meeting Date 03/22/00 Financial Assistance: It is estimated that the cost of building and developing the proposed additional units and amenities to Kingswood Manor would be approximately $914,760 or $70lsquare foot. The applicant is proposing to finance the proposed project through conventional sources. No subsidy is requested from the City. Chula Vista Crime Free Multi-Housino Prooram The Housing Advisory Commission recommended approval of the requested density bonus and reductions in the parking standards for this project with the condition that the project participate in the City of Chula Vista's Crime Free Multi- Housing Program. This Program was designed to help tenants, owners and managers of rental property keep drugs and other illegal activity off their property. Managers attend an eight-hour seminar presented by the police department and rental experts. The City inspects the property and certifies whether or not the rental property has meet the program's requirements for the tenant's safety, such as locks, lighting, windows, peep holes, applicant screening, and general appearance. Lastly, a tenant crime prevention meeting is held. It is anticipated that the project's participation in this Program will facilitate strong property management, screening of applicants, and maintenance of the property. Alternative: As set forth in California Govemment Code Section 65915 (b), as an altemative to granting a density bonus or a density bonus and an additional incentive, the City may provide other incentives of equivalent financial value based upon the land cost per dwelling unit, including direct financial assistance. The proposed project is for the construction of 10 additional units to an existing development. Without the requested elimination of guest parking and 21 percent of the required parking spaces as compact spaces, the construction of any additional units on the site would not be allowed. Based on the foregoing, staff recommends approval of the requested density bonus, deviations from the project's original Precise Plan regarding guest parking requirements and modification of the City's standard for compact parking spaces (as authorized by Califomia Code Section 65915) for the proposed project. 1.

Living right on the corner of Kingswood and Tobias, subjected to the noise, traffic and dirt from subject property I think serious re-consideration should be made. I will attempt to be more specific about those problems; 1. Tobias and Kingswood are constantly loaded with parked cars visiting either Kingswood Manor or the Castle Park Townhouses (especially on week-ends) that are located along and parallel to all the homes on the North side of Kingswood. 2. These same cars plus others at night often sit and play their car stereos at a very high volume (this is both on the street and in the gated parking lot) and the slamming of their car doors. At times it has been almost impossible to sit in our living room and hear our TV. 3. Car alarms are going off constantly. Those in Kingswood Manor rarely hear them and when they do, take their own good time to shut them off. 4. Very often in the mornings we are awakened (@6AM or earlier by persons not able to enter the gated area) with horn blowing and yelling. 5. During the summer months, we experience young adults loitering on the outside of the fenced area. This is noisy and usually on the following morning residuals of plastic bags, fast food wrappers, beer bottles aluminum/cardboard drink containers and the like are left in the area between the sidewalk and my fence for cleanup by me. 6. Ball playing in the street is common. 7. City buses are not un-common coming down Tobias and up Kingswood as they drop off handicap persons living in Kingswood Manor. 8. The side entrance to the SDG&E Park at the intersection only adds to the problems that include graffiti. I can't tell you how many coats of paint are on my fence, as I will not let graffiti remain through the following day. 9. There is a drainage ditch into a storm drain at the rear of my property (on Tobias) which the City has had to clean numerous times due to litter (garbage etc.) and on occasion I've found items thrown over the fence into my front, side and backyards as well. 10. During the school year, traffic is quite heavy with parents coming from Castle Park Middle School, etc., on their way to drop off other children at Loma Verde and Castle Park High. The dirt raised from this traffic adds to what you might consider "normal". It, John Bruce Hill 11.

We have avoided this as much as possible as we are well aware that they have more important problems than noise abatement. The bottom line to all of this is that these proposed change(s) increasing the density will only add to the existing problems of autos parked on the streets, noise increases, dirt problems litter and graffiti.

Additional density/units on this property mean more people. There are already enough apartments in this small neighborhood. The current project, along with the other apartment complexes in the area, is the source of many problems. There is constant drug dealing and use in the area. Residents are the source of loud noises, especially at night, with loud screaming, fighting, playing of music. The kids from the apartments constantly take short cuts through private property, lifting fence boards and cutting through people's yards and parking areas. Bringing more apartments and more people will only serve to multiply the problems already existing in the area. Although staff has proposed that the project be conditioned to participate in the Chula Vista Crime Free Multifamily Housing Program, Mr. and Mrs. Fellows do not believe that this will help to alleviate their concerns. There can be a lot of rules established but people do what they want despite them.

More persons sitting outside the gates blowing their car horns before 8 AM and after 6 PM trying to gain entrance or picking up a resident? 3. Further increases in street parking? 4. More trash (fast food & wrappers, bottles, cans, etc.) thrown in the street or on our property? 5. Auto stereos blasting away at full volume after 11 PM? 6. Increased youth loitering and graffiti? 7. Increase of car alarm's going off at all hours for extended periods? 8. Additional hard surface areas for leaf blowers to stir up still more dirt? I own my own home (considered a 'Patio Home") but surrounded by high density dwellings. Within the area of Tobias and Hilltop and between Ouintard and Kingswood are 7 locations which are as fOllows; 1. 1450 Tobias ( 8 units?) 2. Corner of Tobias and Ouintard - The Hilltop Villas 3.

Castle Park Townhouses @ 1434 Hilltop (runs btwn Hilltop & Tobias) 7. Kingswood Manor And you still want to add even higher density? One last question - have you run an ARJIS check on the frequency of Police and Fire Department calls?
