4. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
a. Request to have neighboring garage moved from 3' to 5' from property line - Anthony Klopper, 216 Sea Vale Street, Chula Vista - Mr. Klopper, owner of 216 Sea
Vale Street, objected to permission granted by the Planning Department to Mr. Klopper's
neighbor to move a garage located in the rear of 210 Sea Vale Street forward along
the easterly side of 216 Sea Vale Street. Mr. Klopper, indicated that the garage
structure would encroach his easterly boundary and interfere with the amount of the
daylight entering his home since the setback requirement was not calculated to in-
clude the 24" overhang on the garage which would increase the requirement from 3' to
5'. Mr. Klopper imformed Council that the foundation and slab have al ready been
poured. Following additional comment by Mr. Klopper, Director of Planning Peterson
stated that both Planning and Building and Housing staffs have visited the site and
that the proposed relocation of the garage will conform with applicable ordinances
when the height of the building is reduced to 15 feet.
MSUC (Hyde/Scott) to request staff to look into the matter in more detail on site
tomorrow to determine if any action is necessary which might preclude further con-
struction.
Mr. Klopper repeated his objection, emphasizing that the primary question relates to
the relationship between the overhang and the 40% requirement. City Attorney Lind-
berg stated that the City staff has interpreted the issue in light of the applicable
ordinances and that Mr. Klopper may pursue the issue further either through his
office by submitting more detailed information or in the Courts.
Mayor Hyde trailed further discussion so that Mr. Peterson could obtain and read the
pertinent section of the ordinance. Items 4b, 4c and 4d were taken.

and June 2, 1981 (CITY ENGINEER)
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hyde re-opened the public hearing.
City Engineer Lippitt reviewed his staff report, indicating that the Redevelopment
staff requested that Center Street be made one-way eastbound with diagonal parking
to increase the parking supply in the downtown area. Mr. Lippitt commented that
since last week, Mr. Christianson, the original petitioner, met with Traffic
Coordinator Hansen, to discuss alternative plans to increase the parking on Center
Street. Slides were displayed which reflected a configuration of both diagonal
and parallel parking on the.~north and south sides of Center Street, respectively,
which would add six additional spaces with one 12-foot wide travel lane and an
alternative allowing a 10 to 12 car increase by using diagonal parking on both
sides of the street.
Mr. Hugh Christianson, the petitioner, spoke in support of the one-way street.
Council and staff discussed use of a four to five month trial period which would
permit staff to stay on schedule with redevelopment of Town Centre I focus area;
the one-way designation would be accomplished with minimal expense involved in
r~striping the street and posting one-way signs. During the trial period, staff
would monitor the area for any increase in accidents (staff noted a zero accident
rate for the area) and for input from the merchants and patrons using the downtown
area.
There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed.

Councilman Scott spoke against the change on a trial basis, indicating that the
whole issue should be considered and decided upon when the total site plan is
developed and approved for the Town Centre I area.

This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing.
Referring to his staff report, Director of Planning Peterson explained that the
applicant is proposing to convert an existing 34-unit apartment complex into a one-
lot condominium unit housing 32 dwellings. The proposal is exempt from environmental
review as a class 1(i) exemption, and the Planning Commission recommends Council
approval in accordance with their Resolution PCS-81-2. Mr. Peterson noted the
modifications to the existing development the developer will make in order to meet
the City's condominium requirements. The Design Review Committee approved the
project subject to certain conditions, including a complete landscaping and
irrigation plan, a compliance survey, low level directory sign and elevations for
the proposed private fencing.
Mr. Constant David, one of the applicants, commented that this conversion would
make additional affordable housing available and that no one has protested or
opposed the conversion.
There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed.

City Council Meeting -4- June 9, 1981
7. PUBLIC HEARING APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A JUNIOR/SENIOR HIGH
SCHOOL ON SITE OF HILLTOP BAPTIST CHURCH -- continued
The applicant has appealed the denial and staff has reconsidered the application
and accordingly recommends approval of the conditional use permit subject to a
number of requirements including that enrollment be limited to 175 students for
one year and that additional enrollment be limited to 230 students predicated upon
Planning Commission review of the operation at the completion of the first four
months of operation.
Responding to Mayor Hyde, the City Attorney explained that since the applicant is
willing to meet certain conditions requested, including adjustment in the maximum
number of students, that the appeal would not require a return to the Planning
Commission for reconsideration.
Ralph Lyons, applicant, stated that since it would be necessary for him to fly back
from Arizona, he preferred to have the matter heard before Council tonight. He
commented that the school has outgrown the current Otay Baptist Church site and ex-
pressed the willingness of Southland Christian Schools, Inc. to conform with all
staff conditions.
Mr. Lyons emphasized the need for a larger temporary facility to accommodate the
school for a period of five years, at which time a permanent school could hopefully
be located on a desired 15 - 20 acre site; noted the inconsistency of the Planning
Commission in unanimously adopting the Negative Declaration and subsequently denying
the conditional use permit on the basis of adverse impacts on the residences because
of the existence of three other schools in the surrounding area; and further dis-
cussed the findings of the Commission.
Speaking in opposition were: Jean Adcock, 725 "J" Place - opposed placing the
school in the R-1 zone. She also quoted a letter in opposition from Pastor Robbins.
In addition, if Council reverses the denial, she requested that five conditions be
added to the approval: (1) no bells; (2) construction of a zoning wall; (3) no
business office on-site; (4) no students permitted in the park areas after school;
(5) no after school or evening classes or activities. David Sandecki, 795 Hilltop
Drive quoted traffic statistics for the area and cited the increase resulting from
student trips; Elizabeth Ballesteros, 730 "J" Place cited the impact of approxi-
mately 1800 students from the three schools in the area and the addition of
another 230 from Southland Christian Schoo; Susan Waddington, 719 "J" Place; Duane
Norris, 726 "J" Place; Ann Maglin 82 Vallecito noted the adverse impact the school
would have on their residences, and submitted a petition signed by 23 area residents.
Speaking in favor of the school were: Carl Kinz, 266 Zenith Street; Gary Phillips
staff member at Chula Vista Christian School; Sidney R. Pierce, 1646 Elmhurst;
Sam Blake, 939 Myra Street; Edward Ditzman, student at Southland Christian School.
In addition to those speaking, 23 letters in favor and 2 against the appeal were
received in the office of the City Clerk.
Responding to Council questions, Mr. Lyons commented that evening activities would
be limited to parent-teacher group meetings and English classes for Spanish
speaking people. Council discussion related to the number of schools in the
immediate area; expressed their confidence in the character of the Southland Christian
Schools and noted that their ~ecision would be based upon the impact on the resi-
dences of an additional school.
There being no further comments either for or against, the hearing was declared closed.
MSC (Cox/Gillow)]to deny the appeal. Councilman Scott abstained from voting.
M$C (Hyde/McCandliss) to request that staff work with Mr. Lyons to assist Southland

RESEARCH AND LIMITED INDUSTRIAL (DIRECTOR OF PLANNING)
9. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF PREZONING 43 ACRES AT THE NORTHWEST
QUADRANT OF BROADWAY AND OXFORD STREET TO C-C CENTRAL
COMMERCIAL AND I-L LIMITED INDUSTRIAL (DIRECTOR OF
PLANNING)
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing and
announced that Items 8 and 9 would be taken as one hearing.
Director of Planning Peterson summarized his written report commenting that the
proposal was initiated by The Price Club, which has also submitted an application
to prezone the subject parcel in conformance wi th the General Plan amendment
recommended. The proposed amendment is a prerequisite to consideration of the pre-
zoning and subsequent annexation of the territory to the City.
Mr. Peterson added that it is the applicant's intent to locate a Price Club at this
corner along with other retail users. The proposed amendment calls for designation
of the property to Retail Commercial and Research and Limited Industrial. The
retail Commercial designation would be applied to approximately 33 acres and Re-
search and Limited Industrial designation would be applied to the remaining 10 acres
on the southwesterly portion of the property.
Mr. Peterson commented that the Planning Commission recommended that the P Modifying
District be attached to the underlying zone so that review by the Design Review
Committee would be required to assure compatibility of the development with the
surrounding residential areas and the schools. The applicant takes exception to
the addition of the P Modifying District.
Sol Price, Chairman of The Price Company, commented on the cost of carrying the
property ($100,000 per month) and emphasized the importance of avoiding any delay
in development of the parcel. Accordingly, he requested that the P Modifying
District be removed since he objected to any additional design review control and
also because all previous discussions and negotiations took place on the basis of
Central Commercial zoning.
There being no further comments either for or against, the hearing was declared closed.

10. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDEP, ATION OF PREZONING APPROXIMATELY 18 ACRES
LOCATED EAST OF INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD -- continued
The County of San Diego requires a developer to seek annexation to a local
jurisdiction prior to development within urbanized areas. The developer was
granted a use permit conditioned upon applying for annexation to the City of
Chula Vista. Because of the time required to annex, the developer requested
and was granted permission to pull building permits to build in the County with
the development subject to review and approval by the City of Chula Vista.
The Environmental Review Committee determined that the project could have a
significant impact with respect to access point. Consequently, the City Planning
and Engineering Departments have met with the County Engineer and applicant's
engineer to resolve these problems.
There being no ~urther comments either for or against, the hearing was declared closed.

11. RESOLUTION NO. 10488 ACCEPTING qUITCLAIM DEED FROM JIMMIE H. AND JUDI S.
SHINOHARA IN ORDER TO CLEAR TITLE FOR BRANDYWINE
AVENUE (CITY ATTORNEY)
The property on the east and west side of Brandywine Avenue owned by the Shinoharas was
previously required to dedicate street right-of-way in Brandywine Avenue to the City of
Chula Vista. An engineering survey was conducted in preparation for filing of a parcel
map and a preliminary title report listed the City's interest in Brandywine Avenue as a
free interest. The County of San Diego refused to approve the record of survey because
it classified the City's interest as an easement. Because of ambiguities in the grant
deed in defining the City's interest and the property owners' desire to relinquish any
interest in the street, they have executed a quitclaim deed.
12. RESOLUTION NO. 10489 APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR STATE FUNDS UNDER THE
ROBERTI-Z'BERG URBAN OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION PROGRAM
~SB174) (DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION)

City Council Meeting -7- June 9, 1981
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES, FIRST READING
15. RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE RELATIVE TO SEWER
SERVICE CHARGES (CITY ENGINEER)
City Engineer Lippitt commenting on his written report, explained that the cost of
providing sewer service to the community has risen dramatically since the last ad-
justment to sewer service charges in June 1978 (Resolution No. 9162) due to the
escalating Metro System maintenance and operation costs. Projected sewer service
income is insufficient to meet the City's sewer related obligations in the coming
fiscal year; therefore, staff recommends that basic sewer service charges be in-
creased as follows effective July 1, 1981: (a) single family dwelling unit to
$5.40 per month; (b) domestic, other than single family to $0.43 per each hundred
cubic feet of water usage; (c) commercial and industrial to $0.43 per each hundred
cubic feet of water usage.
Mayor Hyde expressed concern over the lack of public input prior to Consideration
Of increasin§ the fee schedule.
MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) to continue the item for one week and direct staff to place
an ad in the Sunday Star-News requesting public input at the next meeting.
16. RESOLUTION NO. 10492 APPROVING AGREEMENT FOR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR TO
PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING SERVICES ON THIRD
AVENUE WIDENING PROJECT ("G" TO "K" STREETS)
(CITY ENGINEER)
City Engineer Lippitt referred to his staff report commenting that the project
for widening Third Avenue from "G" to "K" Streets, awarded to Daley Construction,
is funded by the Federal Aid Urban (FAU) program funds and that the staffing plan
required by the program calls for three persons to be assigned to the project.
Because of the currently high construction workload, staff is unable to provide
construction engineering services for the Third Avenue project, and accordingly
recommends that Council approve the agreement for an independent contractor so as
to not jeopardize the City's FAU entitlement.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN GILLOW; the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
17. RESOLUTION NO. 10493 APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH SAN DIEGO TRANSIT CORPORATION
FOR FY 1981-82 FOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
(DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR)
Transit Coordinator Gustafson explained that San Diego Transit Corporation's claim
for FY 1981-82 in the amount of $106,740 compared with the FY 1980-81 claim of
$34,359 is an increase of 210%. The claim against Chula Vista's Transportation
Development Act (TDA) allocation is estimated to be $106,740 for service provided
by Routes 29, 32 and 100. However, as a result of staff-level discussions with
SDTC, the agreement for FY 1981-82 has been rewritten to increase the headways on
Route 32 from 15 to 30 minutes and is based upon reduced passenger estimates of
247,230 from 462,819 contained in the initial draft of the contract.
Discussion concerned the continued need for service on Route 32 after the start of
trolley operations in July; the possibility of significant ridership on Route 32 for
people travelling to downtown San Diego; and the possibility of the City operating
the Route rather than SDTC. Staff commented that routes could be deleted upon 90
days notice to SDTC.
Rich Murphy, Manager of Plannin9 and Scheduling, San Diego Transit Corporation,
addressed Council regarding effects on bus systems after the Trolley initiates
service. He noted that they lack realistic indicators of what to anticipate, but
that the contract presented for approval is based upon a fairly conservative
estimate. He commented that the service on Route 32 will be provided with articu-
lated buses so as to offer some expanded capability in light of the reduced number
of trips.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT; the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.

accommodate parking; (c) requiring that lots 14 and 15 (now 13 and 14) be served by
a hammerhead or circular driveway. Because additional public testimony was heard
at the June 2 Council meeting which raised questions regarding a covenant of the
existing CC&R's requiring the lots to have 100 feet of frontage, the meeting was
continued for additional information from the developer.
