PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS Pd~D ORDINANCES
5. Public Hearing - Consideration of tentative subdivision map for Chula
Vista Tract 81-7, Pepper Tree Estatea (Director of Planning)
This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing.
Referring to his written report, Director of Planning Peterson reported that the
tentative subdivision map for Pepper Tree Estates subdivides a 7.3 acre property
into 15 single family residential lots. The parcel which is presently in the
unincorporated area is in the process off annexation to Chula Vista and is de-
veloped with a single family dwelling. The developer proposes to develop the
lots with a minimum lot size of 13,100 square feet and an average lot size of
approximately one-third acre.
City Council Meeting -2- May 19, 1981
Mr. Peterson commented that very little grading is proposed and that split con-
struction will be used on lots with steeper sloping. The EIR projected a 10%
increase in traffic which does not represent a substantial increase to the road
system. The Planning Commission voted to unanimously recommend Council approval
of the tentative map and to recommend that Council certify that EIR 81-2 has been
prepared in compliance with all State and local guidelines.
Additional discussion concerned proposed access to the tract at the intersection
of Jacaranda Drive and Pepper Tree Drive, although several residents of Jacaranda
prefer the entrance to be through Lots 14 and 15 (which front on Pepper Tree Drive).
Thirteen of the lots will be served by a new cul-de-sac street proposed to he
named Cook Court, and Lots 14 and 18 will be served by Pepper Tree Drive.
Concerning sight distance at the intersection of Jacaranda and Pepper Tree, the
Planning Director stated that the conclusion of the City Engineer and Traffic
Safety Engineer is that Condition 5 of the Planning Commission Resolution be
amended to read: "The developer shall provide for a sight distance from the inter-
section of Jacaranda Drive and Pepper Tree Road east from Jacaranda Drive a distance
of approximately 200 feet subject to the approval of the City Engineer." This re-
quirement would be met by trimming and pruning of vegetation.
Mr. Peterson displayed slides of the subject property and further commented on the
sight distance requirement. During presentation of the slides, Council reported
that all members had travelled to the subject area and were familiar with it; it
was noted that the parcel is located in County zone RS4; the Planning Commission
condition regarding trees requires approval of the City prior to removal of any
trees within the travel ways of the private streets.
In response to Council query, the Director of Planning addressed the proposed density
indicating that there is not a substantial difference between the homes having im-
mediate frontage on Jacaranda Drive and those within the tract, and that Rll0
prezoning is consistent with the General Plan. Councilwoman McCandliss commented
on the l~oposed density in relation to E1 Rancho Vista and E1 Rio Vista. She pre-
ferred that the density of the proposed homes be oriented to existing homes on
Pepper Tree Drive rather than E1 Rancho Vista.
Responding to Councilman Cox, staff commented that the Homeowners Association would
be required to maintain the private street and the private portion of the sewer
system. There was continued discussion related to the density of the project,
traffic safety and trimming of shrubs to improve sight distance.
Dale Combs, Architect, 325 W. Washington, San Diego, presented architectural
renderings and related graphics depicting the custom design of the proposed
homes. He commented on proportions of parcels in the surrounding area noting
that 30 parcels are under one-half acre; 21 parcels are under one acre, but greater
than one-half; and two parcels are larger than one acre. Mr. Combs discussed the
architectural style of the homes and indicated that the New England character of
the Hazel Goes Cook home would be retained throughout the development. Lots 14 and
15 will involve the most grading, partly to solve existing drainage problems. Re-
maining grading will be accomplished to allow contouring of the land in a compromising
manner to maintain as many trees as possible and to maintain the natural character
of that area.
Richard Grabhorn, 5585 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, representing Sholders and Sanford,
Inc., Civil Engineers, addressed engineering concerns and concurred with the staff
recommendation and Planning Commission recommendation, as amended, requiring a
sight distance of 200 feet at the Jacaranda/Pepper Tree intersection. He also
discussed the project's proposed density and clarified that split-pad construction
would be utilized, as required by land form, rather than split-level construction
as indicated in Mr. Peterson's staff report. He also advised Council that Jacaranda
Drive is owned in fee by Adma and that property owners taking access from Jacaranda
to their properties have an easement right granted by Mrs. Cook. Adma could not
legally alter that intersection in order to provide access through Lots 14 and 15.
Jack Mann, representing Adma, discussed the responsibility of Adma to prune and trim
the vegetation at the intersection in order to meet the sight distance condition of
the tentative map. He stated that Adma has reached agreement with the respective
property owners and legally bound to perform under those agreements.
City Council Meeting -3- May 19, 1981
Mr. Grabhorn addressed the density of the project, stating that it provides for a
density of 2 dwelling units per acre.
He stated that Jacaranda/Pepper Tree intersection was selected by the developers
for ingress and egress for well identified reasons: it requires less grading;
provides flatter street grades, less slope banks and scarring of the property
would be necessitated; and it would preserve significant trees which would be
an aesthetic benefit to the entire co~nunity. In addition, he stated that Adma
has no authority to hamper or close that street as a result of the easements
granted by Mrs. Cook to area owners.
Concluding his presentation, Mr. Grabhorn requested reconsideration of Condition
8 of the Planning Commission requiring the developer to construct curb and gutter
improvements on Pepper Tree Drive along 145 feet of frontage of the subdivision,
indicating that that would be the only curb and gutter in the entire subdivision
and would be out of character. As an alternative, Adma would offer to waive any
right of protest of a future assessment for improvement of Pepper Tree.
Roger W. Krauel, 225 W. Broadway, San Diego, representing several property owners
in the area of the project, spoke in opposition to the present design of the
project because of the unsafe intersection at Pepper Tree and Jacaranda. He
discussed the potential for increased traffic flow from Plaza Bonita Shopping
Center, and referred to alternative approaches through Lots 14 and 15 considered
in the Environmental Impact Report.
Also speaking in opposition to the subdivision: Lawrence Lassman, 471 Jacaranda
Drive opposed lot sizes and density, and the annexation of the area; Evelyn Sevel,
144 Pepper Tree Road, spoke in opposition to the density, traffic flow, annexation,
and distributed to the Council a petition signed by approximately 150 area residents.
Additional public comment related to the proposed 24 foot width of Jacaranda Drive
and whether it would provide adequate turning radius for fire apparatus. Dr. Aaron
Mannis commented on the subdivision and referred to his letter to Council specifically
regarding the natural beauty of the subject area. He opposed the development because
it would jeopardize the last remaining virgin ]and in Chula ¥ista; Ben Layton, 430
Jacaranda, spoke in opposition to the development and to the annexation of his
property.
There was continued discussion and rebuttal by Messrs Grabhorn, Krauel, Combs,
and Jack Mann, representing Adma. Mr. Mann specifically addressed Council speak-
ing to protection of the rights of property owners by infringing on the rights of
Adma. He discussed the restrictions of the CC&R's on types of homes to be built,
indicating that Adma's CC&R's are more restrictive and of beneflt to the property
owners than existing CC&R's.
Council recessed at 8:48 p.m. and reconvened at 8:55 p.m.
In response to Council query, Mr. Petersen advised that the Fire Marshal has
endorsed the tentative map. He also commented that the annexation as proposed
would not create an island, as referred to by Mr. Layton.
Responding to Mayor Hyde, Mr. Peterson commented against a proposed alternate
entrance between Lots 14 and 15 because it ~oul8 require additional grading and
cutting into the hillside.
In additional discussion, the City Englneer recommended against walver of Condition
8 o£ the Planning Ce~ission resolution, but indicated that the condition could be
deferred by execution of an agreement by Adma to not protest the formation of 1911
improvement district in the future.
There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed.
MS (Hyde/Scott) for discussion to consider access from Jacaranda Drive to a new
alignment between Lots 14 and 15 and that Jacaranda be closed off to mitigate the
traffic impact, and by separate action of the Planning Commission to consider pre-
zoning the property Rlli-P requiring that average lot sizes not be less than
15,000 square feet. An additional requirement to be included in the motion would
be that an architectural review committee have complete site plan review and control
of any future development.
City Council Meeting -4- May 19, 1981
There was additional Council discussion concerning density; access through Lots
14 and 15 and egress therefrom without the necessity of backing out. Staff com-
mented concerning granting reciprocal access easements in Lots 14 and 15.
MS (Hyde/Scott) that the map be approved subject to the conditions required by
the Planning Commission resolution, in addition to (1) revision of the map to
permit no parcels of less than 15,000 square feet, and (2) requiring that access
into the property be between Lots 14 and 15, and (3) requiring that any properties
fronting on Pepper Tree Drive be designed with hammerhead or circular driveways.
The motion was amended with the consent of the second to include a cul-de-sac on
Jacaranda Drive at the point where it currently enters Pepper Tree.
Councilman Gillow asked to further amend the motion with the additional require-
ment that density be lowered to require minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet.
The motion was accordingly amended with the consent of the second. The motion as
amended failed by the following vote: Gillow, McCandliss voting "yes" and Hyde,
Scott and Cox voting "no".
Additional lengthy discussion related to modification of the Planning Commission
resolution to accommodate a prezoning change to Rll5 and thereby lowering the
density and the number of lots to be subdivided to 14.
Charles Strong, Traffic Engineer with Fedart Associates, reported that the safe
sight distance arrived at by using the standard technical calculations is 175 feet.
MSUC (Scott/Hyde) that staff ascertain that 175 to 200 feet is a safe sight distance
prior to approval of the Final Map.
MSC (Scott/Hyde) to direct staff to consider prezoning of the area to Rll5-P to
permit no more than 14 parcels in the subdivision; that the eastern side of
Jacaranda Drive be widened and improved to allow for parking; and that access
to parcels 14 and 15 from Pepper Tree be provided by way of hammerhead er circular
driveways. Councilman Gillow voted "ne".
MSUC (Hyde/Scott) that the matter of prezoning on this property and adjacent
properties that are designated Rll0 be referred to staff and the Planning Commission
for consideration of a new prezoning to Rlli.
MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) that as major trees are removed in the construction of
hemes that they be replaced with species to be approved by staff.
a. Resolution # - ~pprov.ing tentative subdivision map for Chula Vista Tract
81-7, Pepper Tree Estates
The City Attorney advised that a revised resolution will be prepared and presented
for reconsideration at the May 26 Council meeting.
6. Public hearing - Consideration ef request to waive utility undergrounding
requirements for the Gersten property east of Hidden Vista
Village Subdivision (Continued from the meeting e£ May 5,
1981) (City Engineer)
This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing.
City Engineer Lippitt reported that the Gersten Company, in conjunction with Watt
Industries and San Diego Gas and Electric, requested waiver of the undergrounding
requirement with respect to relocation of an existing 69 KV power line extending
easterly from Hidden Vista Village Subdivision across Gersten's property. This
relocation is necessary to avoid conflict of the proposed alignment of East "H"
Street and Otay Municipal Water District's proposed 18" water line installation.
This hearing was continued from May 5~ pending the outcome of the May 14th meeting
of Environmental Review Committee which determined that ne significant environmental
affects would occur by relocation of the line and that no further analysis would be
necessary. Mr. Lippitt stated that the cost to underground the line is estimated
at $1,400,000, while the cost of the relocation as estimated by SDG&E is $180,000.
City Council Meeting -5- May 19 ~ 1981
Dick Brown, representing the Gersten Company, addressed Council with respect to a
5-year waiver and advised that they have agreed to advance the funds needed at this
time significantly out of sequence with both Otay's proposed installation and the
future alignment of East "H" Street. He emphasized that timing is critical and
that if Council were to adopt a resolution next week, Gersten would present a
check to SDG&E and the process could begin.
Additional discussion related to Gersten applying some of the savings realized by
relocation of the line to the future construction of the "H" Street improvements.
MSUC (Cox/Gillow) to direct staff to return next week with a resolution waiving
undergrounding requirements for the Gersten Company, such waiver to expire in
five years.
7. Public hearing - Consideration of tentative subdivision map for Chula Vista
Tract 81-6, Otay Valley Industrial Park, 500 block Otay
Valley Road (Director of Planning)
This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing.
Mr. Peterson reviewed the characteristics of the tentative subdivision map and
reported that the applicant proposes to subdivide the property into 29 industrial
lots which are proposed to be served by three new streets. He reported that the
site will require extensive grading consisting of 440,000 cubic yards of cut and
fill and that the proposed street alignments, street grades and grading for the
industrial park will provide a logical development pattern for future improvement
of the adjoining property which the applicant unsuccessfully attempted to acquire
for inclusion in the subdivision. Planning Commission Resolution PCS-81-6 unanimously
recommends Council approval of the tentative map, which includes a provision allow-
ing the applicant to request formation of a reimbursement district for repayment
of offsite improvements which will benefit other properties.
Eugene Cook, representing E. F. Cook & Associates, Ltd., 5858 Mt. Alifan Drive,
San Diego, advised that economic analyses completed for the Park indicate that
redesign is necessary, and he requested the opportunity to submit the redesign to
the Planning Commission.
There being no further conunents either for or against, the hearing was declared
closed.
a. Resolution # - Approving tentative subdivision map for Chula Vista Tract
81-6, Otay Valley Industrial Park
MSUC (Scott/Cox) to send this item back to the Planning Commission and request
redesign of the Industrial Park.
8. Public hearing - Consideration of change of zone for 290 "H" Street and
adjacent lots from R-3 to C-0 (Director of Planning)
This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing.
This hearing involves a request for rezoning a .49 acre parcel located at 290
"H" Street from R-3 to C-O-P, in addition to rezoning the two parcels located
immediately to the west and contiguous to the subject property to C-O. The
Director of Planning reported that the properties are located where two land use
designations coincide and can be considered consistent with the General Plan if
zoned either commercially or residentially. He explained that the owner plans to
develop the three lots into a mid-rise office complex and it would therefore be
appropriate to zone the property to accommodate office and professional uses which
are compatible with multiple family residential uses.
Mayor Hyde acknowledged receipt of a letter distributed to Council and staff by
Anush Badii, lessee of the property and co-signer of the application for zone
change, withdrawing his application.
Anush Badii, 225 Broadway, San Diego, advised Council that since distributing
the letter he has met with the property owners; he withdrew the letter and re-
quested a two week postponement of the hearing.
City Council Meeting -6- May 19, 1981

9. Public hearing - Consideration to increase certain rates for Mission Cable
Television, Inc. (Cox Cable San Diego) (Director of Finance)
This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing.
Director of Finance Grant reported that Cox Cable San Diego submitted a request
to increase the basic subscriber rates in the City from $9.60 to $10.50 per month
effective July 1, 1981. It was noted that the City and County of San Diego ap-
proved the new rate based upon provisions in their ordinances allowing a limited
increase based upon 60% of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) formula; however, the
Council, in approving a rate increase last year, did not adopt the CPI formula.
James Smith, Vice President and General Manager of Mission Cable TV, gave a
synopsis of the increased costs of operating the system, particularly noting
the S0.6% increase in the cost of utilities experienced over the past year.
Responding to questions from Councilman Scott regarding availability of financial
statements from Mission Cable, Mr. Smith advised that he did not come prepared to
report on the company's financial position and that financial statements were not
available for review. After continued discussion, he informed Council that Mission
Cable's rate of return was close to last year's, but that it was eroding quickly
because of the rapidly increasing costs of operation.
There being no further comments either for or against, the hearing was declared
closed.
a. Resolution # - Amending Resolution 10087 to increase rates for Mission
Cable Television, Inc. (Cox Cable San Diego)
MSUC (Scott/Hyde) to continue the hearing for two weeks and direct staff to
obtain additional information to provide a basis for a decision to approve a
rate increase.

No. 114 on Fourth Avenue from "G" Street to "H" Street
(City Engineer)
This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing.
The City Engineer reported that the Underground Utility Advisory Committee at its
last meeting discussed possible underground projects for 1982 and voted to recom-
mend to Council consideration of the Fourth Avenue conversion from "G" Street to
"H" Street. This project will complete undergrounding of the major streets in
Town Centre Area 1 and Area 2 and, since Fourth Avenue between "G" and "H" Streets
is being considered for future pavement overlay in FY 1982-83, it would be pre-
ferred to accomplish the undergrounding project prior to the overlay.
There being no further comments either for or against, the hearing was declared
closed.
MSUC (CJi]ow/Scott) to direct staff to bring back a resolution establishing the
Underground Utility District after it considers the CiP Program in Budget Session.
