i
PUBLIC HEARING - (Cont'd) Saburo Muraoka - South Side Quintard Street, Between
First and Second Avenues - Mobile Home Park
A plot plan of the proposed Mobile Home Park was shown. Assistant Planner Warren
stated that the problems which the Commission, at the May 21st meeting, felt needed
further study, had been satisfactorily solved by Mr. Muraoka and his engineer. With
the aid of a plot plan of the proposed Mobile Home Park, these problems were discussed.
This being the time and place as advertised, Chairman Stevenson opened the hearing.
Mr. George Whyte, Project Engineer for the Wittman Engineering Company representing
the applicant, spoke about the sewerage problem. He stated that they can not get
the permission of the School Board to use their pumping station, so will build one
of their own in the vicinity of Palomar Street and Second Avenue, with the relief
main installed in Oxford Street. He further stated that the entrance was moved to
Second Avenue as per advice from the Planning Commission. He said he talked with
Chief of Police Quinn about the emergency exits and entrances and Chief Quinn
thought just the one entrance on First Avenue would be sufficient. Fire Chief Lee
suggested that they put a fire hydrant close to the recreation building and other
fire fighting equipment, such as extinguishers , etc. , will be installed in excess
of what the Fire Department stipulates they must have.
Mr. Whyte confirmed that a 5 ft. high chain link fence with a Eugenia hedge would
be placed along the entire frontage on Quintard Street and Second Avenue.
Member Adams asked whether they plan to build the park according to FHA specifications
and Vice-Chairman Stewart questioned the number of trailer spaces. When questioned by
Member Willhite, Mr. Whyte assured the Commission that they intend to screen off the
storage area. Member Comstock asked how many spaces they plan to put in Unit #1 .
Mr. Whyte said that the number depended on the financing,) but at the present time
129 spaces were anticipated.
Mr. Roy Muraoka , 103 Quintard Street, the applicant's son, told the Commission that
the proposed park was a park of the future and would be constructed to accommodate
the new 12-foot and expando trailers that are on the market today. He also stated
that the planned density of the park would be 10 trailers per acre.
There being no further comment, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed.
Chairman Stevenson asked the Assistant Planner whether he knew of any difficulty
incurred where there was a trailer park near a school . Assistant Planner Warren
related that the Police Department knew of no particular traffic problems having
occurred in similar land use situations.
Principal Engineer Harshman told the Commission that he has consulted Mr. Norris
Luedtke, Consulting Engineer for Wittman Engineering Company, and they both were
in agreement that the desirable solution would be for the applicant to construct
his own pumping station instead of getting the approval of the School .
Member Guyer and the Assistant Planner discussed the possibility that half-streets
would be built when the applicant construct Unit #l , but Mr. Whyte assured the
Commission that only full-width streets would be constructed.
Vice-Chairman Stewart said he felt the Commission should just consider the first
unit at this time, approving the land use for the entire project; however, when
the applicant gets ready to. build the second unit, he would have to come in and
present a plan- to the Commission for this.
Mr. Whyte stated that they want a conditional use permit for the entire project-
not just part of it, as chances are they may just go ahead and put in the entire
243 spaces.
Member Comstock asked for the staff 's comments regarding the future development of
the land use regarding the land to the west and the east. Assistant Planner Warren
explained that most of the land in the vicinity of the proposed park is in the
county and undeveloped at the present time, thus no trends have been established.
The land has been zoned for R-3 use, so it is reasonable that a high-density de-
velopment would occur here. Under the present zoning, the land could be developed
more densely than the current plans request.
It was moved by Member Adams and seconded by Member Willhite that the petition of
Saburo Muraoka for construction of a mobile home park on the south side of Quintard
Street, between First and Second Avenue, according to the plans submitted to the
Planning Commission, be approved, with the following conditions:
1 . Mobile Home Park be enclosed by a 5 ft. high chain link fence.
- 2 -
2. A Eugenia hedge, 5 ft.. high, to be planted to form a screen along the entire ,
frontage of puintard Street and Second Avenue: The hedge to be planted inside
the fence, and the fence to be on the setback line.
3. The recommendations of the Fire Chief to be observed.
4. That a new pump station for sewage disposal be built by the applicant,
according to the specifications of the City Engineer.
5. Park to be designed according to FHA specifications except for some minor
details.
6. All utilities to be placed under ground.
7. Streets are to be improved as shown on the plot plan on the first -unit; then
all other street improvements should be completed prior to the final in-
spection on the completion of the park.
Further, the action be based on the following:
1 . The use as a mobile home park will not be materially detrimental to the
public health, safety or welfare.
2. There will be no damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor,
dust or vibration.
3. There would be no hazard to persons and property from possible explosion,
contamination or fire and the hazard occasioned by unusual volume or
character of traffic as this is a moderately low density development
compared to average R-3 developments.
4. The development is reasonably compatible with other uses in the area.
It is a residential use. It is just as compatible with the school as
a single family residence would be. Due to the location of the San
Diego Gas & Electric Company's easement, the property adjacent to the
south will remain undeveloped.
The motion passed by the following vote, to-wit:
AYES: Members Adams , Guyer, Stewart, Comstock, .Stevenson and Willhite
NOES: None
ABSENT: Member Weakland
PUBLIC HEARING - Chula Vista .Christian Reformed Church - East "J" Street -
Church Site
The application was read requesting permission to build a church with all the facilities
necessary for a church plant.
Assistant Planner Warren submitted a plot plan of the proposed location.
This being the time and place as advertised, Chairman Stevenson opened the hearing.
Mr. Art Schuller, 551 Third Avenue, speaking for the owner, told the Commission that
a church here would be an asset to the community.
Rev. Paul Veenstra , pastor of the proposed church, explained to the Commission that
for the past two years they have been looking for a suitable piece of property
on which to build their church, keeping certain criteria before them as a guide to
finding the property; the first being the size of the property. They needed a place
large enough so that they could meet all the requirements of the City with respect
-3-
to off-street parking and other building requirements but one they could afford
to buy because they are, as yet, a small group. They wish to be near a residential
area because they want to be of service to the community in which they settle, but
. also away from other churches in the immediate vicinity because of their conviction
not to enter into competition with other groups. At the present time, no plans
have been made for the development; this request is limited to land use for a church
site.
Max Stewart, sales manager for the Horton Development Company, spoke against the
proposed church site. He stated that the location of a church here would devaluate
the property, making the sale of the new homes in this area difficult. He also
felt the topography of this site was such that locating a church here was impractical .
Also speaking in opposition were Mrs. Edna Young, 325 East "J" Street, Mr. Harold
Young, 315 Kimball Terrace, Mr. Clyde Crane, 339 East "J" Street, Mr. L. Bevin,
734 Monterey, Mrs. Vickers , last house on "J" Street, Mr. Kenneth Milburn, 685
Melrose Avenue, speaking also for Mr. and Mrs. Paul Pulliam and Mr-. and Mrs. Julius
Erxleben. A letter of protest was read from Mr. Francis E. Young, 325 East "J"
Street; a letter was submitted from Mr. Harold P. Young, 214 "F" Street and a
petition of 25 names was submitted. The above people were opposed to; the potential
devaluation of their homes; closing off the best access to Rice Canyon; cars. turning
around here present a problem to the children in the neighborhood.
There being no further comment, either for or against, the hearing was closed.
Chairman Stevenson asked for the staff 's feeling on the matter. Assistant Planner
Warren stated that from the standpoint of planning, the location of a church site
here is not objectionable. However, two problems do exist - (1) the grading
problem and (2) whether the land behind the proposed site and adjacent to Stardust
Subdivision will become landlocked. He further commented on• the fact that the
land north descends at a steep grade into Rice Canyon in} such a way that bringing
any streets up from the Canyon may be impractical .
Member Comstock said that if a cut-slope method was used, the land could be de-
veloped for a church site. The church would be in a hole and lower (than the homes
in the Stardust development and the surrounding homes. . . however, the landlock
would be very serious in the future, since access here is the real problem. He
felt that access could be opened up through the church site.
1
Rev. Veenstra told the Commission that. at one time he talked to the Planning Director
and was shown a map which clearly indicated an access from Melrose Street. He said
the church would not have to be taken down to the level of the street. The church
would be a duo or triple level construction.
Member Comstock questioned whether they could offset Monterey Street to the west,
but Assistant Planner Warren stated that this would bring up double frontage lots.
He also stated that the subdivision being discussed, Mark Hill , had been submitted
but has since expired, and appears to be somewhat impractical from an engineering
standpoint. Member Adams said-- that since a subdivision was laid out here, there is
a good possibility that streets could be and were laid out satisfactorily, and
access could be acquired other than through the proposed church site.
It was moved by Vice-Chairman Stewart, seconded by Member Comstock and unanimously
carried that the matter be continued and carried over to the meeting of July 16th
so that the Engineering and Planning Departments could make, and submit to the
Commission, a feasibility study of developing land behind the proposed site and
submit their recommendations to the Commission.

PUBLIC HEARING - Community Church of God - 456 Fifth Avenue - Approval of Church
Building
The application was read requesting permission to build a new sanctuary 55 x 88 feet,
to be located in front of the present church building.
Assistant Planner Warren submitted the plot plan showing the proposed location of the
building. He stated that the 60 parking spaces the applicant is providing here,
more than meet the requirements of the or.dina�nce.
This being the time and place as advertised , Chairman Stevenson opened the hearing.
Mr. Harold E. Schauer, the applicant for the church, stated he had nothing to add
to the Assistant Planner 's comments.
There being no further comment, either for or against, the hearing was closed.
Vice-Chairman Stewart asked the applicant about the improvements. Mr. Schauer
stated that they plan to either oil or blacktop the area. Member Comstock ques-
tioned whether 15 feet was adequate for this parking egress and ingress. Planning
Assistant Warren said the alley was actually dedicated at 16 feet. This would be
minimum and that wider pavement would be desirable.
I't was moved by Member Comstock, seconded by Member Guyer that the application for
a conditional use permit for the Community Church of God, 456 Fifth Avenue, for
approval of a new sanctuary building 55 x 88 feet, providing for 60 off-street
parking spaces , be approved with the following conditions:
1 . That the sanctuary be built according to plans submitted.
2. That the applicant include in the proposed improvement plans , paving
of the parking area immediately to the west of the existing Sunday
school ,and
3. To delineate parking area and spaces.
Further, that the action was based on the following findings:
1 . There will be no damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust
or vibration.
2. There will be no hazard to persons and property from poss17ble explosion,
contamination or fire.
3. There would be no appreciable increase in traffic.
4. The use is compatible with the type of uses in the area.
The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit:
AYES: Members Comstock, Stevenson, Willhite, Adams , Guyer and Stewart
NOES: None
ABSENT: Member Weakland
PUBLIC HEARING - Fredericka Manor - 183 Third Avenue - Approval of Hospital
The application was -read requesting permission to build a three-story unit and a
- 5 -
one-story unit convalescent hospital in accordance with the drawings submitted
with their application.
Assistant Planner Warren submitted a plot plan showing the proposed location of
the hospitals. The hospital will replace an existing frame residence now occupying
a portion of the site.
This being the time and place as advertised, Chairman Stevenson opened the hearing.
Douglas Lindsey, Administrator for Fredericka Manor, spoke in favor of the pro-
posed hospitals. He told the Commission that the Manor is non-denominational ,
occupying 5 acres of land with 260 members ranging from 62 to 99 years of age -
they employ 70 people and have an annual payroll of $250,000. They wish to
increase the number of hospital beds from 52 to 156. The Manor is licensed with
the Social Welfare Department and the medical unit is licensed with the Department
of Health.
Donald Neptune, architect for the project, discussed the parking provisions ,
stating that the ordinance requires 1 space for each bed- which number they will
exceed since they plan for 156 spaces. The parking spaces are properly dispersed
so as not to create any volume of traffic. The 3-story hospital will be for
patients requiring nursing care and the 1-story building will be for ambulatory
care.
Vice-Chairman -Stewart questioned the location of proposed hospital parking. He
felt that much of it was too far away; however, Mr. Lindsey said that the parking
plan was in compliance with the ordinance as the ;•spaces are all within 300 feet
of subject site. The members using the hospital will not have cars , since the
majority of them are over the age limit to drive. Rather than develop the land
next to the hospital unit, they prefer to create a park-like atmosphere here, with
a lagoon, etc. Chairman Stevenson asked if a fence would be put around the lagoon
and Mr. Lindsey stated that this would definitely be done, with a planting screen
also planned.
There being no further comment, either for or against, the hearing was closed.
Member Adams felt this hospital would be a great asset to the city and could see
no difficulty with the proposed plans.
It was moved by Member Guyer and seconded by Member Comstock that a conditional
use permit for Fredericka Manor (Pacific Homes Corporation) for permission to
build a 3-story hospital and a one-story convalescent home be approved subject to
the following conditions:
1 . That the proposed buildings be built in the location shown on the plans
submitted with the application.
Further, that action be based on the following:
1 . That it will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare.
2. That there will be no damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor,
dust or vibration.
- 6 -
3. There will be no hazard to persons and property from any possible explosion,
contamination or fire and no unusual volume or character of traffic.
4. The use is compatible with uses in the area.
The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit:
AYES: Members Guyer, Stewart, Comstock, Stevenson, Willhite and Adams
NOES: None
ABSENT: Member Weakland
VARIANCES - Fredericka Manor - 183 Third Avenue - Height Variance
The application was read requesting a height variance from 45 feet to 71 feet for
a 7-story hotel unit.
Assistant Planner Warren submitted a plot plan of the proposed location and stated
that some parking was proposed, but none was required by ordinance.
This being the time and place as advertised, Chairman Stevenson opened the hearing.
Mr. Lindsey, Administrator for Fredericka Manor, explained that under the Pacific
Homes Corporation, 1400 members are now being cared for, some in La Jolla, Mission
Beach, etc. , with 260 members in Chula Vista. This number could be increased by
200 with the addition of a hotel . The hotel will have apartment-type units - 1
bed units and 2 bed units. The dining room to be located on the ground floor, will
be of sufficient size to take care of the members. Since the proposed structure
would be 71 feet high, a site near the center of the property was chosen, and if
they are limited to 45 feet in height, the land coverage would be increased by 50%.
Member Comstock questioned the standards of the access from "D'' Street and Mr.
Neptune stated the "D'' Street entrance would meet all City requirements. They would
work along with the Fire Department and put in all necessary equipment, and more if
required. The present Administration Building will be demolished. Mr. Neptune
further stated that they will have access from Second Avenue, "D'' Street and ''E"
Street. All cul-de-sacs and one-way streets would be eliminated.
Mr. Steve Brest, 144 Twin Oaks Circle, spoke in opposition to the hotel , stating
that it'would cut off light and breezes to his .property.
There being no further comment, the hearing was closed.
Vice-Chairman Stewart questioned the height, wondering what, if any, were the disad-
vantages of going beyond the 45 feet, and what was the maximum allowed height in any
zone. Assistant Planner Warren explained that 65 feet, in a C-2 zone is the maximum
allowed height. Generally, the limitations imposed on building heights are governed
by need as related to density. Other considerations are the restrictions of light
and air, and in this case, disturbing the residential character.
Chairman Stevenson wondered if the proposed building would affect the National City
airport flight pattern, but was told that it would not.
Vice-Chairman Stewart stated he felt no hardship to the property exists here, and if the
Commission were to grant this height variance, he believed they would be setting a
precedent.
-7-
Member Adams disagreed with this theory pointing out that the location of the site
in the center of the property has everything to do withthe height. It should not
set a precedent, therefore, for other buildings like this one. Member Adams said
he felt the height here should be put under conditional use permit instead of a
variance, and recommended that the city attorney prepare a resolution changing the
ordinance.
Member Comstock felt this was a very definite exceptional circumstance because of the
large parcel of land which is being utilized. The twenty acres here at Fredericka are
bounded by four streets and there is no way for them to expand unless high-rise
buildings are allowed.
Chairman Stevenson said he felt that the Commission should take action, either by
recommending a change in the ordinance or by granting a variance as requested.
It was moved by Member Comstock, seconded by Member Willhite that the height
variance for Fredericka Manor, 183 Third Avenue, to permit construction of a 7-story
hotel building as shown on plans submitted to the Commission be approved. There are
exceptional circumstances applicable to this property and conditions that apply to
this property and- its intended use thereof and (2� the fact that we do not have a
setback problem - the land is all under one ownership and operates as one unit.
Further, the action be based on:
(1) That the variance is necessary for the preservation of a substantial property
right of the applicant.
(2) It will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
the property or improvements in which the property if located.
The motion carried by the following vote, to wit:
AYES: Members Comstock, Stevenson, Willhite and Guyer
NOES: Members Adams and Stewart
ABSENT: Member Weakland
Member Adams based his ''no'' vote on the opinion that the exceptional circumstances
stated were not valid.
Member Stevenson asked the Planning staff to undertake a study, together with the
city attorney, to draft an ordinance all-owing buildings above 45 feet in an R-3
zone, and (2) a study for the required parking :spaces for hotels in Chula Vista.
PUBLIC HEARINGS - Allison E. Gilbert - 1027 Corte Maria - Setback reduction
The application was read requesting that an existing patio-lanai which the applicant
b uilt in violation of an ordinance be allowed to remain. The ordinance requires a
5-foot side yard setback and the room involved lies 112 feet from the property line.
Assistant Planner Warren submitted a plot plan explaining that the application is for
the purpose of legalizing the violation.
A letter from Mr. E. J. Grady, Chief Building Inspector was read in which he stated
that he issued a building permit to Mr. Guilbert on July 29, 1959 for the installation
-8-
of a masonry garden wall , 18 feet long and 6 feet high, and for an outdoor barbecue.
On August 11 , 1959 an inspection was made of the footing and forms for the garden wall
and the barbecue. No other permits were applied for after this date.
Assistant Planner Warren further explained that after this date, the applicant added
a roof then -enclosed the remaining open area with glass , thus resulting in the
creation of a room attached to the main dwelling, which was too close to the side
property line.
This being the time and place as advertised, Chairman Stevenson opened the hearing.
Mrs. A. Gilbert, the applicant, told the Commission that her neighbors do not object
to the addition as it exists.
Mr. L. E. Hoole, a real estate broker, explained that the house had been sold and was
now in escrow, emphasizing the importance of granting the variance.
Vice-Chairman Stewart asked what would be involved if they were asked to move the
wall . Mrs. Gilbert stated that the whole fire wall would have to come out, the glass
wall and fireplace would have to be moved, etc.
Chairman Stevenson stated the reason for setbacks was to provide proper- light and
air, etc. for neighboring homes , and Member Comstock felt that if the Commission
allowed this violation of setbacks , they would have to literally throw out the set-
back variance, since there were no exceptional circumstances applicable to this
property.
Vice-Chairman Stewart said he was concerned as to what would happen about all the
other violations in the city, if they were to allow this one.
Member Willhite agreed and added that if the Commission wanted to have a good con-
science about turning down this variance, they should require the staff to seek
out and investigate all similar violations.
It was moved by Vice-Chairman Stewart, seconded by Member Adams that the application
of Allison E. Gilbert, 1027 'Corte Maria Avenue for a setback reduction be denied,
based on the fact that no exceptional circumstances were found here.
The motion carried by the following vote, to wit:
AYES: Vice-Chairman Stewart, Comstock (regretfully) , Adams and Guyer
NOES: Members Stevenson and Willhite
ABSENT: Member Weakland
PUBLIC HEARING - Kenneth M. Fanning - 328 Patricia Avenue - Setback Reduction
The application was read requesting a side yard setback from 5 feet to 1 '-z - 5 feet
for a 16 foot strip so that an addition can be built to the home.
Assistant Planner Warren submitted a plot plan showing the location of the proposed
addition, pointing out that the lot is ''pie-shaped.''
This being the time and place as advertised, Chairman Stevenson opened the hearing.
-9-
Vice-Chairman Stewart suggested the applicant alter h1s plans to narrow the north
edge of the addition making it parallel with the lot line.
Mr. Kenneth Fanning, the applicant, commented that due to the shape of the lot, the
house had to be built at an angle to the frontage, and that the contractors involved
have concluded that constructing the addition as proposed was the only feasible plan.
There being no, further comments , either for or against, the hearing was closed.
Member Adams said he felt this was an excellent example of an exceptional circumstance
since the lot is narrow at the point where an addition could feasibly be built.
It was moved by Member Adams , seconded by Member Guyer that the application of
Kenneth M. Fanning, 328 Patricia Avenue, for a zone variance to enable him to build
an addition to the side of his house be approved in accordance with the sketch as
submitted.
(1) The exceptional circumstances are that the lot is an unusual shape - narrow at the
point where the house is normally built making it difficult for the applicant to take
full advantage of the lot which he has , and because of this exceptional circumstance,
variance is necessary for the preservation of the property right.
(2) Granting this variance will not be materially detrimental to. the public welfare or
injurious to the adjacent property as evidenced by the lack of objection, and that
the applicant does have a petition favoring the request signed by eighteen neighbors ,
which accompanied an earlier request.
The motion carried by the following vote, to wit:
AYES: Members Adams , Guyer, Stewart, Stevenson and Willhite
NOES: Member Comstock
ABSENT: Member Weakland
Member Comstock said he felt that this justified a variance in some respects , but that
the applicant had an ample back yard that could be used and therefore believed there
was no exceptional circumstance.
SUBDIVISIONS
Palomar View Heights - Tentative'Map
Assistant Planner Warren submitted the tentative map of Palomar View Heights and ex-
plained its location.
A letter from H. Ralph Lovett from the Technological Engineering Corporation was read
concerning the improvement of Nolan Street when dedicated.
At this point, the recommendations of the Planning and Engineering departments were
reviewed. Mr. Henry Algert, the engineer for the subdivision, stated that lot number
7 of the proposed subdivision is owned by Palomar Church of Christ, and that it is the
owner's request that this lot be omitted from the subdivision.
It was moved by Member Guyer, seconded by Vice-Chairman Stewart and unanimously carried
that the tentative map of Palomar View Heights Subdivision be approved subject to the

STREETS AND HIGHWAYS
(Cont'd) Willis Richardson - North End of Trenton Street - Request for abandonment
of road easement.
-11-
A letter was read from Mr. Richardson in which he asked the Commission to disregard
his former request for removal of entire 20-foot easement and now wishes to request
removal of the street easement that lies southerly and westerly of the San Diego Gas
and Electric Company's easement. This would make it possible for him to grade and
maintain a driveway over this land which will serve his six units on the property.
Mr. G. A. Bishop, from the Land Division department of the San Diego Gas and
Electric Company, told the Commission that they had no objection to the request,
as changed.
It was moved by Vice-Chairman Stewart, seconded by Member Comstock and unanimously
carried that the Commission recommend to the Council that those portions of the
street easement occupying the easterly 20-feet of lots 8 and 9 of Block R of
Harborside Unit No. 2, which lie southerly and westerly of the San Diego Gas and
Electric Company's easement be vacated.
COMMUNICATIONS
Oral - Policy regarding public improvements required by Ordinance No. 543
Assistant Planner asked the Commission to postpone this matter until the Planning
Director returns.
Written - Mrs. Mary K. Kenworthy - 276 "K" Street - Extension of Time on Variance
A letter was read from Mrs. Mary K. Kenworthy asking for another extension on the
use and maintenance of the flower stand on her property for 2'—z years.
Vice-Chairman Stewart wondered about the possibility of a new owner coming in before
the 2'-2 year period and taking over. He felt the Commission should grant a one=year
extension and have Mrs. Kenworthy again request an extension as desired.
It was moved by Vice-Chairman Stewart, seconded by Member Willhite and unanimously
carried that a one-year extension of time on the variance be granted to Mrs. Mary K.
Kenworthy.
Member Comstock, on behalf of the Commission, thanked Mr. Stewart for "a job well
done" in serving as the Chairman for the past five years. The Commission suggested
that a resolution commending Mr. Stewart be prepared to be offered by the City
Council .
It was moved by Vice-Chairman Stewart and seconded by Member Willhite that the
Commission recommend to the City Council the reappointment of Members Comstock and
Guyer. The motion carried unanimously.
It was moved by Member Comstock, seconded by Member Willhite and unanimously carried
that the meeting adjourn to July 16, 1962.
Respectfully submitted,
