FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE. The Planning Commission thereupon conducted the first public hearing to consider the proposed comprehensive Zoning and Building Line Ordinance for Chula Vista. Pis. William Drew spoke at length on the ordinance. Mr. Drew stated in effect that in general he considered the proposed Ordinance to be beneficial and a step in the right direction. He did, however, make many suggestions as to changes in the zoning map and also as to par- ticular provisions of the Ordinance itself. Mr. T. E. Bacon suggested that the section between "T" and "K" Street on the east side of National Avenue should not be placed in the R-1 Zone because of its proximity to the M-1 Zone on National Avenue and because that section is adjacent to an existing trucking business. Mr. Herman Delano stated that he did not believe the proposed multiple dwelling sections would ever be actually developed by multiple duelling units because of difficulties in financing such projects. Mr. Mark Money requested the Commission to carefully study the extent of its proposed multiple dwellings and duplex zones. - He felt that too much of the city was proposed to be placed in these zones. The Commission ordered that a stenographic report of the pro- ceedings be filed with its minutes. Following much discussion pro and con relative to suggestions offered by the audience present, it was moved by Member Irey, seconded by Member Welton, that the second public hearing be heard at the Fegular Meeting of the Commission, January 3, 1949 at 7:30 P. M. , in the Council Chambers of the City Hall. ADJOURNMENT. Upon motion by Member Fisher, seconded by Member Irey, and carried, the meeting adjourned sine die. Secretary. I FIRST PUBLIC H& RING ON PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE Mr. Gilliam Drew made the following suggestions concerning the new zoning matt for Chula Vista. 1. That too much of the City was zoned for 4tR3, I,.fiultiple Family dwell- ings. Iv+r. Davis asked what perdentage Its. Drew felt should be zoned for i1R11t, Single Family dwellings and what percentage for Multiple Family dwellings. bs. Drew stated that at least 25%. He stated that 15% of the Chula Vista population lived in rental units such as Vista Square. Tlj"r. Davis stated that Vista Square was for emergency use only. I:Tr. Drew feels that not over 15% should be zoned for Irlultiple family dwellings because of the fact that 1;111ultiple Family dwellings tends to bring a lower class of people into Chula Vista. r. Davis says that 38 1/16 sections are now being used for Single Family and Duplexes. Mr. Davis feels that Chula Vista needs housing badly. He feels that these ; acre lots with one house on them deprives small houses from being built for the working class of people. The class of people that support the businesses in Chula Vista are in need of cheaper housing. 2. FuTr. Drew then suggested that I<<ultiple Family dwellings be zoned im- mediately in the vicinity of the business and industrial section and not spread all over town. 3. Yr. Drew said that he would like to see t11all Zone from National Avenue to Bay Boulevard and on the East side of National Avenue not be limited to llfil'1 Zone as it will spoil light manufacturing and small factories. He feels that small industries and factories need protection. dir. Drew feels the busi- ness district should be extended, that National Avenue have definite allocation • for business section, particularly between t1D" and '}F" for retail sections. 4. T':'r. Drew - That certain section on the east side of National Avenue should be designated for some type of business or residential purpose but not "Yl1". 5• That 3rd. 2--venue between I'D" and "E1' Street should. be zoned for busi- ness., 'tCl'p. Also that "F" street between 3rd and 4th should. be zoned for "Cl".and not "C211. Suggests that "E" Street east of 3rd Avenue to between Church and Del Y'lar be "C171. A .member of the public stated that in his opinion he felt we should stick to single family homes and eliminate multiple family dwellings. People come to Chula Vista because it's a nice place with nice streets with single family homes. If Chula Vista is going to be zoned for Multiple Dwellings they should be of a high class nature. 1Tr. Drew says that I.Tultiple Family dwellings should be close to business district for those working in Chula Vista. 1Jember Guest stated that rentals would aleviate trailer courts. 1;r. Drew said that he would like to see trailer courts eliminated and motels restricted. 6. -;ir. Drew said we should limit multiple family zone on east between '1;7'1 and 41H" should be half way between T�rrin Oaks and Del Phar. ','r. Drew says that he feels the Ordinances is headed in the right direction. Mr. J. E. Bacon discussed that section between 41711 and. "Itt° on the east side of National I!venue. This section is now zoned for "Flt4. Mr. Bacon questioned what effect the trucking business going up on this corner whould have on sir_gle family residences. Mr. Paton feels that with 125' now zoned for 4iM11} and the truck- ing business on t4741 Street, that the immediate vicinity would be much better for multiple family instead of single family dwellings. Mir. Delano asked who was going to build the ?,12,000 homes or multiple units. Ir. Davis stated that when conditions justified they would be built. ivs. Delano questioned if it was wise to have a t1R1" section next to a T'Mi" zone: Yr. Drew ouestioned the minimum lot area for Single Family dwellings of 601 x 1201. Section 5-A, paragraph 6a, 11r. Drew questioned the definition of "transitional use". Section 6-A, 5b, T,1hat about Lawyer, Real Estate, Insurance and Tail Order busi- nesses? Mr. Drew could see no reason why these could not be transacted on the basis of Doctors and Dentists. Section 6, 10 secretary or assistant. "Height limit" - Should depend uuon width of streets. Should. have the right to be revoked. Section 11-A, 14, "laboratory, experimental and the like." Tu!r. Drew feels that these are no more offensive than cleaning plants and should be given a higher classification, at least in a 11C211 zone. Section 16, D-2 (last sentence) relating to hearings. i:r. Drew says that he thinks public hearings should be mandatory concerning area-or height. Section 19-A. h . Drew thinks that the City should furnish some type of bond or guarantee for the protection of the citizen for any error that a City employee might make in issuing permits and licenses. Mr. 'Mark 11oney suggested the Commission make a careful study of duplex or larger dwelling zones. He says that this can be developed too much. He feels that if we allow too many multiple dwellings it will spoil the town. PY: v 7 v
