PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
5. PUBLIC HEARING - This being the time and place as advertised, the public
CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL OF hearing was opened.
GRACE BAPTIST TEMPLE OF
PLANNING COb~qISSION DENIAL Director of Planning Peterson referred to his written report
OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT explaining that the applicant proposes to expand the nursery
PCC-80-1 school on property at 345 Fifth Avenue into a day care center
and replace the Sunday School building with an elementary
school. The project will be done in two phases: (1) the
removal of a major portion of the existing classroom and
the construction of a two-story building. The second phase
will occur in three to five years with the removal of the
remaining portion of the original classroom and replacing
it with another two-story building which will be used for
additional classrooms and three administrative offices.
Planning Commission decision On October 10, 1979, the Planning Commission denied the
conditional use permit application. The applicant is now
appealing this decision.
Noise factor Mr. Peterson noted the potential number of children who
would be in the play areas at a given time - essentially
300 children who would recess from 2% to 3½ hours per day.
He felt this would constitute an instrusion into the
surrounding residential area.
Planning Director's Mr. Peterson said that he concurs with the Planning Commission
recommendation recommendation for denial and that the church be urged to
find a larger site, adding that he would offer the assistance
of his staff to find this site.
Lee Hauck Mr. Hauck noted that the biggest contention is the noise that
Grace Baptist Ten~ole would come from the children at play. This data has been
reviewed by a professional firm which addressed both the
duration and amplitude of the noise factor. The State
guidelines are that it is not to exceed 60 db; therefore, the
plan has been adjusted to accommodate just this number of
students in the playground - to a quantity of 63.
Mr. Hauck added that the Planning Commission adopted the
environmental impact report which found that there is no
negative impact to the proposed development; however, they
then denied the application for the conditional use permit.
Held Tuesday - 7:00 p.m. - 3 - November 13, 1979
PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES (Cont.)
John Owens Mr. Owens said he owns property at 486 Center Street and is
37 E. Sierra Way concerned over the noise factor that would be generated by
the children at play. He felt this might eventually force
his tenants to move.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against,
the hearing was declared closed.
Council discussion Council discussion followed regarding the exact locations
of the playgrounds, and the impact of the proposed
development on the residential areas.
Motion to deny appeal It was moved by Councilwoman McCandliss, seconded by
Mayor Hyde and unanimously carried that the Council concur
with the recommendation of the Planning Commission - to
deny the appeal.
6. PUBLIC HEARING - This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hyde
CONSIDERATION OF A~NDMENT opened the public hearing.
TO THE GENERAL PLAN TO
CHANGE THE DESIGNATION Director of Planning Peterson explained that the Gersten
OF APPROXIMATELY 8 ACRES Companies proposed to redesignate a certain 8-acre parcel
AT TELEGRAPtt CANYON ROAD AND of land located on the east side of Nacion Avenue, north of
NACION AVENUE FROM VISITOR Telegraph Canyon Road, from "Visitor Commercial" to "High
COMMERCIAL TO HIGH DENSITY Density Residential" on the plan diagram of the City's
RESIDENTIAL, 13-26 DU/ACRE General Plan. The Gersten Companies intend to develop a
multi-family residential development on the site.
Planning Commission On October 17, 1979, the Planning Commission certified
recommendation EIR-80-2 on this project and recommended approval of the
request in accordance with their Resolution GPA-80-1 for
a medium density (4-12 units per acre).
Planning Director's Mr. Peterson noted the character of the area was chiefly
recommendation residential and to have a motel, restaurant and similar
uses would be an intrusion into this area. He added that
he felt the General Plan designation (Visitor Commercial)
was not appropriate for this property and would recommend
a more intensive use than detadhed single-family -- something
in the middle or lower end of the 13-26 unit category.
Petition filed The Director remarked that 68 residents of the area filed
a petition with the Planning Commission opposing the
environmental impact report and the high-density construction.
Council discussion Discussion ensued regarding the bus transportation for the
school children; the amount of developable land; traffic
impact, and the exact reason for staff's recommendation to
change the zoning from the original C-V-P to R-3.
Dick Brown Mr. Brown, representing the owners of the property, stated
Dale Building Company that the owners originally wanted C-N zoning but were given
C-V prior to the construction of 1-805. When the freeway was
constructed, it was built at a higher elevation and a
significant earthen berm was developed adjacent to the ramp
which destroyed all visibility to this property. From a
practical and planning standpoint, they are asking for this
change of zone. They anticipate developing in the middle of
the range of the 13 to 20 category and would be willing to
participate in the traffic signal at Telegraph Canyon Road
and Nacion Avenue, if there is a demonstrated need here.
Held Tuesday - 7:00 p.m. - 4 - November 13, 1979
PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES (Cont.)
Mr. Brown added that they strongly urge approval of the
13 to 26 dwelling unit category density and the owners are
agreeable to the precise plan with the City Council having
control over the approval of the development.
Carolyn Nieders Mrs. Nieders said she owns a home two doors away from this
328 Corte Nacion Avenue proposed site. They would prefer to have apartment use
here rather than the commercial.
Bill Sears Mr. Sears said he was speaking "with the unanimous vote
393 East Millan Court of his neighborhood." They are concerned with the number
of potential units that can be developed (2662; the traffic
and the impact on the schools in the area. He urged the
Council to consider a vote for a medium residential density.
Jerry Valk Mr. Valk cited the capacities of the schools in the area;
291Camino Vista Real other developments being proposed for the area; hazardous
traffic conditions; notification of the people within 300
feet; the drainage ditch; and potential for low-income
housing. Mr. Valk referred to a two-page letter he wrote
to the Planning Commission stating a copy should have been
sent to the Council.
The City Clerk was given a copy of this letter and read it
for the record. The letter summarized Mr. Valk's statement
to the Council and urged a decision for single family
development or an alternate of low-density multiple of
8 to 10 units per acre for "first class condos."
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against,
the hearing was declared closed.
Council discussion Further discussion followed regarding the school impact,
requirements of the school district to provide schooling,
and the control the Council has over the development.
Motion to change General It was moved by Mayor Hyde and seconded by Councilman Cox
Plan designation that the staff be directed to bring back a resolution changing
the General Plan designation for this area from Visitor
Commercial to high-density residential, 13 to 26 dwelling
units per acre.
Speaking against motion Councilwoman McCandliss said she tends to favor the high
side of the low and medium range and the low side of the
high-density range. The difference between the 12 units
and the 13 and 14 units is hard to evaluate. She added
that the zoning is for the 8+ acres; however, only about
6~ will be developed which will change the density factor.
For that reason, she is in favor of the 4 to 12 dwelling
unit density.
Motion carried The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit:
AYES: Mayor Hyde, Councilmen Cox, Gillow, Scott
Noes: Councilwoman ~cCandliss

CONTINUED MATTERS AND SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES
17. ORDINANCE NO. 1881 - On October 23, 1979, the revised taxicab ordinance was
AMENDING CMAPTER 5.54 OF given first reading. At that meeting, the Council requested
THE CITY CODE BY REPEALING several changes to be made to the ordinance: (1) deletion
SECTIONS 5.54.010 THROUGH of the ability of a certified operator to lease his
5.54.120 ALL RELATING TO THE vehicles; (2) a fee of $100 per year for each taxi business
ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES plus administrative fee of $3.00 for each taxi owned by
FOR THE OPERATION OF TAXICABS the operator; (3) provision that a certified operator may
WITHIN THE CITY OF CHULA only use an acceptable governmental agency or the City of
VISTA - SECOND READING Chula Vista for the annual inspections; and (4) January 1,
AND ADOPTION 1980 to be the effective date of the ordinance.
The ordinance was continued from the last meeting at the
request of the Yellow Cab Company.
City Manager's Mr. Cole recommended revision of two portions of the ordinance:
recommendations (1) the insurance requirement of $500,000 be reduced to
$300,000, and (2) vehicle inspection program.
Assistant City Manager Asmus explained that Mr. Shippey
(Creaser and Warwick Insurance) who represents the City in
insurance matters advised the Council to avoid having the
City's people making the inspections of the taxicabs
because the liability and risk element would be extended to
some degree. In researching this issue, Mr. Asmus said he
discovered that the State certifies certain garages (in
Chula Vista as well as throughout the State) to make
inspections o£ brakes, lights and smog devices on vehicles -
there is no certification for any garage to make the complete
inspection of vehicles under discussion tonight. Mr. Asmus
commented that these garages can, however, make these
inspections if they are given a form by the City as to the
type of inspection required -- this would be for vehicles
over two years old and would cost about $25.00.
Mr. Asmus stated that it would be the staff's recommendation
to revise the ordinance to provide for governmental
agencies (like San Diego), which provide inspections at no
cost, be permittable agencies acceptable to the City;
otherwise, the taxicab companies be required to get this
Certificate on an annual basis for all cabs over two years
old from one of the certified garages licensed by the State.
Motion to refer back It was moved by Councilman Cox and seconded by Councilman
to staff for revisions Scott that this matter be referred back to the City Manager
to incorporate the suggested changes discussed tonight: the
insurance requirement and also making the provision for
inspections by independent operators or the City of San Diego.
Gloria Fountain Ms. Fountain, Manager of the Diamond Cab Company, stated
6025 Edgewater that between readings #1 and #2 of the ordinance, it will
San Diego cost her company approximately $20,000 more due to the
insurance costs and inspections.
Ms. Fountain questioned the necessity of the "administrative
fee for the quarter" (Section 5.54.020) inasmuch as there
is not going to be a quarterly fee - it is to be $3.00
per year per cab.
City Attorney Lindberg remarked that this sentence should
have been deleted from Section 5.S4.020.
Held Tuesday - 7:00 p.m. ~ ~ _ November 13, 1979
CONTINUED MATTERS AND SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES (Cont.)
Miss Fountain discussed being "penalized" for having to
get inspections for the cabs at $25 per inspection when
those of the Yellow Cab are able to get theirs free from
the City of San Diego.
She further elaborated on the necessity of the requirement
to have every person make available upon demand the records
of the points of origination and destination of all vehicles
dispatched by the operator.
Mike May Mr. May said he would waive his discussion on this matter
10699 San Diego Mission Road since the Council intends to keep the insurance requirement
San Diego as originally proposed.
Addition to motion It was moved by Councilman Cox, seconded by Councilwoman
~cCandliss and unanimously carried to include in the motion
that the staff consider the deletion of the last four lines
of Section 5.54.020 which makes reference to the availability
of records for inspection. The main motion carried unanimousl)
Mayor Hyde announced that if the taxicab operators had
furthor concerns about any provision of the ordinance, he
would suggest they contact Mr. Asmus and let him know what
they are.
18. REPORT ON REQUEST FOR Mr. Edwin Storm, representing the Senior Citizen's Council
INCREASING THE SENIOR on Aging, requested that the maximum income eligibility for
CITIZEN'S UTILITY USER'S the utility user's tax be increased from $7,500 to $12,000
TAX EXEMPTION maximum income.
In a written report to Council, Director of Finance Grant
explained that the State's current $12,000 income exemption
for the senior citizens applies to the Homeowner's and
Renter's Assistanc~ Act. For ease of understanding and
administration, most California cities have established
the flat $7,500 household income limitation. It was the
recommendation of the Director of Finance that the Council
not change the present $7,500 maximum limitation.
Notification of Mr. Storm Mayor Hyde said he was advised by the City Clerk that Mr.
Storm was contacted and that he would not be in attendance
at this meeting.
Motion to approve report It was moved by Mayor Hyde, seconded by Councilman Scott

the departmental work load and the present organizational
