City Council Meeting -2- April 21, 1981
5. PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR PORTION OF NORTH COLLEGE
SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA AND TENTATIVE MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT
81-5, BONITA CREST (DIRECTOR OF PLANNING)
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing.
Director of Planning Peterson, referring to his staff report, indicated that the
applicant's purpose is to subdivide four acres of land into a condominium project
consisting of 60 townhouse units. In addition, the applicant has submitted a
development proposal for the property which, together with the tentative map,
fulfills the requirements for a Sectional Planning Area plan. Mr. Peterson in-
formed the Council that the Planning Commission adopted a Negative Declaration on
March 25, 1981 (#IS-81-27) and requests that Council approve the proposed develop-
ment plan for four acres in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No.
PCM-81-8 and the tentative subdivision map for Bonita Crest, Chula Vista Tract
No. 81-5, in accordance with Resolution No. PCS-81-5. It was noted that a petition
was signed by 114 residents of the area protesting the density of the proposed
project and the increased traffic flow.
Mr. Peterson informed the Council that the elementary and high school districts
cannot physically provide new schools in the subdivision and that in accordance
with adopted Council policy that no building permits would be issued until such
time as the school districts furnish letters confirming that they can furnish
school services.
Mayor Hyde asked when the map would go before the Design Review Committee for
consideration. Mr. Peterson stated that in the P-C zone, the Council reserved
that review to the Planning Commission and the City Council. There was Council
discussion concerning reservation of that responsibility to the Planning Commission
and Council rather than the Design Review Committee and reconsideration of that
decision.
Council discussion related to the density of the project as compared to the
development on Telegraph Canyon Road and the setbacks and traffic pattern.
Mr. James Ashbaugh, Planner, CEP Associated, 5466 Complex Street, San Diego repre-
senting the applicant, Ray Huffman Construction Company, indicated that preliminary
plans and studies were presented a year ago and staff suggested that efforts be
made to work with an adjacent property owner for acquisition of a portion of that
proper~v. The applicant subsequently did negotiate the acquisition referred to
and the Specific Planning Area was created and unanimously approved by the Planning
Commission as proposed.
Mayor Hyde asked if solar heating would be used. The applicant indicated that the
roof design of the townhouses can accommodate solar installations.
Ms. Bev Quantrille, 1632 Dartmou§n Street, spoke against the high density of the
project and stated that over a time she felt it would cause the area to be cheapened.
Mr. Roger Challberg, 1444-F Eagle Peak Court, President of the Encore Bonita
Homeowners Association, referred to his April 10, 1981 letter to the Council
opposing the high density development. He addressed Council in opposition to the
density because of the increased traffic flow and hazardous traffic patterns which
will be created because of the lack of a median cut at East "H" Street and Buena
Vista. He requested that Council personally inspect the traffic pattern requiring
a U-turn two blocks down East "H" Street in order to proceed in the opposite
direction toward the college. He recommended that Council consider alternatives
and also requested that the City enforce its RV parking ordinance.
Mr. Jerry Valk, 291Camino Vista Real, Chula Vista commented on the lack of school
district reports concerning their ability to furnish schools for the new area.
There being no further comments either for or against, the hearing was declared
closed.
In answer to Council's query, City Engineer Lippitt responded that the Traffic
Engineer considered the median cut and determined that since the volume of traffic
on "H" Street is very low, the need to make a U-turn at Buena Vista Way in order
to exit the project does not pose any safety or traffic capacity problem.
City Council Meeting -3- April 21, 1981
Additional Council discussion concerned the requirement for solar installations in
new developments effective July 1, 1981; solutions to the traffic flow problems
cited and installation of a median cut sometime in the future.

Mayor Hyde clarified his motion to reflect that if an ordinance were not in effect
by July that the developer would not be bound.
Ms. Ashbaugh stated on behalf of the developer that they would have no idea what
the ordinance would require and could not agree in advance without knowing if it
would involve additional development costs.

CITY ATTORNEYS TO CONDUCT THE CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS
City Attorney Lindberg explained that development of E1 Rancho del Rey will require
the widening and improvement of Telegraph Canyon Road between Casa del Rey and
Otay Lakes Road and that the present owner, Pacific Scene, Inc., desires to proceed
with the acquisition either through negotiations or condemnation of the necessary
right of way. Mr. Lindber9 recommended that Council (a) adopt a resolution declar-
ing the public necessity to acquire a right of way for Telegraph Canyon Road;
(b) adopt a resolution approving an agreement with Pacific Scene to cover the full
costs of the acquisition of the right of way; and (c) adopt a resolution deputizing
the firm of McDonald, Hecht & Worley to conduct the condemnation proceedings.
Michael Spata, Attorney for United Enterprises, 1007 Fifth Avenue, San Diego,
stated that he felt the resolution of necessity was premature since representatives
of the City were expected to consult with representatives of United Enterprises
because of their concerns regarding the project, specifically ingress and egress
to the ranch owned by United Enterprises.
City Council Meeting -4- April 21, 1981
7a. b. c. DETERMING AND DECLARING THE PUBLIC NECESSITY TO ACQUIRE RIGHT OF WAY FOR

Mr. Spata indicated that a problen~ also exists with location of the widening to
abutting houses on Telegraph Canyon Road, and submitted photographs of the
pertinent properties. In view of those concerns, he requested continuance so
that both groups could meet to discuss mutual concerns to promote an amicable
condemnation.
Staff indicated that they would be prepared to meet with representatives of the
developer and owner this week. Mr. Spata stated that they wished to have a
definitive alignment determined through discussions with staff prior to coming
back to Council for a public hearing. It was pointed out that the resolutions
contain definitive alignments and that adoption of the resolutions would not
preclude negotiation of the acquisition between the parties or alteration of
the alignments pending negotiations.
RESOLUTIONS OFFERED BY Councilman Gillow, the reading of the texts were waived
by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
8. RESOLUTION NO. AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 8194 ESTABLISHING GREEN FEES FOR THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE (DIRECTOR OF PARKS
AND RECREATION)
Director of Parks and Recreation Pfister presented a report on golf course greens
fees, recommending generally an increase of $1.50 in all cash greens fees, the
elimination of non-resident tickets and the addition of 9-hole play on Saturdays
and Sundays. He recommended these changes in order to balance the golf course
revenues and expenditures, indicating that the course has operated on a deficit
for the past five years.
Mr. Cliff Roland, 1100 Industrial Boulevard, Chula Vista, stated that he felt
that raising the rates and eliminating non-resident tickets would cause the course
to lose customers, and expressed deep concern that the public was not notified of
the possible increase, and not invited to the Parks and Recreation Commission
meetings when the increase was considered. He requested continuance of this matter
pending notification to the public.
MSUC (Cox/Scott) to continue the item for one week and properly notice the golf
course that this item will be discussed at the Council meeting of April 28th
and also post staffms recommendation.
9a. RESOLUTION NO. APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH THOMAS WILLIAMSON FOR
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES TO DESIGN A MAINTENANCE FACILITY
ADDITION TO PARK WAY COMMUNITY CENTER (DIRECTOR OF PARKS
AND RECREATION)
Staff explained that the schematic plans previously approved by the Council for
the Memorial Park Renovation Project included a maintenance building located
behind the Park Way Gymnasium. The maintenance building was deleted from the
plans as a result of a site and design conflict with an adjacent residential
development. To resolve this conflict, it is proposed that the maintenance
building be incorporated as an addition to the Park Way Community Center, and
accordingly, Mr. Thomas Williamson, Community Center Architect, has submitted a
proposal for furnishing the architectural services for the maintenance building
addition. It is, therefore, recommended that Council approve a 20' x 30'
addition to the Park Way Community Center for use as a maintenance building.
It is further recommended that Council approve an agreement with Mr. Williamson
to provide architectural services for a fee of $2,120 and authorize the expenditure
of appropriated Memorial Park renovation funds for this purpose.
Council questioned the need for a consultant to plan the add-on to the community
center and discussed whether staff should reconsider the location for the facility.
Mr. Pfister stated that the Library, Civic Center and Memorial Park areas were
studied as alternatives, but that the Park Way Community Center met all of their
criteria for centralization, security and adequate space.
MSUC (Hyde/Gillow) to continue the item for one week so that Council will have
an opportunity to look at the site to get a visual concept of what staff is
proposing.

IMPROVEMENTS
The resolution approves Change Order No. 2, deleting installation of the 4" sewer
lateral and 1" copper water service to the maintenance building previously proposed
to be located behind the Park Way Gymnasium, and authorizes the City Engineer to
execut6 same.
In response to Council's query, Assistant City Manager Asmus stated that the
building was deleted because it was considered absolutely incompatible with the
adjacent residential complex.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY Councilman Cox, the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
(Council recessed at 8:55 p.m. and reconvened at 9:05 p.m.)

at Bonita Road/Willow Street and Bonita Road/Otay Lakes Road to the low bidder,
Perry Electric, for $30,433 plus $3,000 for contingencies. City Engineer Lippitt
explained that this project will improve traffic safety and intersection lighting
and will facilitate pedestrian flow.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY Mayor Hyde, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous
consent, passed and approved unanimously.
11. RESOLUTION NO. 10446 APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND THE
COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO FOR THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF
MEDIAN LANDSCAPING ON ORANGE AVENUE FROM HILLTOP DRIVE TO
THE WEST 600 FEET (CITY ENGINEER)
The resolution approves an agreement with the County for participation in the City
of Chula Vista's Orange Avenue landscaping project for the segment of Orange
Avenue lying in the unincorporated portion of San Diego County (between Hilltop
Drive and 600 feet westerly of Hilltop Drive).
There was Council discussion concerning use of palm trees in the unincorporated
County area, as well as the City's portion of Orange Avenue.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY Councilman Scott, the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
MSUC (Hyde/Cox) that staff look into the possibility of extending the palm tree
landscaping in the median into the County area, hopefully with the County providing
the palm trees.
12. ORDINANCE NO. AMENDING CHAPTER 8.12 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
FOOD HANDLER TRAINING REQUIREMENTS - FIRST READING
(ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER)
Assistant City Manager Asmus referred to his staff report and indicated that this
item had previously come before the Council in January 1981 and that at that time
it was recommended that the ordinance not be adopted so that staff could evaluate
the issue. At this time, all cities in the County, except Del Mar and Chula Vista,
have adopted or intend to adopt the food handler training program as proposed by
the County of San Diego Health Department. The proposed ordinance provides food
handlers with two alternative means of training in order to achieve compliance.
He indicated that when the County adopted the ordinance, they also adopted a new
fee schedule for restaurant permits which the City of Chula Vista has adopted.
Mr. Asmus recommended that Council adopt the ordinance since there would be
considerable advantage to having uniform health regulations in effect throughout
the County.
City Council Meeting -6- April 21, 1981
12. ORDINANCE NO. AMENDING CHAPTER 8.12 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
FOOD HANDLER TRAINING REQUIREMENTS -- continued
Mr. Clint Sadler, 47 Palomar Drive, representing Fun-4-All Amusement Center, spoke
in opposition to the ordinance, stating that it posed an unfair burden on
restaurants since it does not apply equally to all food handling establishments
such as delicatessens, bakeries and grocery stores. He also commented that area
restaurants did not know that this ordinance would be considered, and should have
been notified.
MSUC (Scott/Gillow) to continue the item for one month and refer the matter to
the Chamber of Commerce for input.
13. Report on Consideration of Public Necessity for Acquisition b.¥ Eminent Doma~n~Of
Property Owned by United Enterprises, Inc. (City Attorney)
City Attorney Lindberg presented a report concerning the acquisition by eminent
domain of property owned by United Enterprises, Inc. to provide access to the
proposed Chula Vista Woods Subdivision. Mr. Lindberg, referring to his earlier
report, dated April 9, 1981, indicated that no recommendation for action can be
made at this time until United Enterprises responds to Otay Municipal Water
District's intent to acquire a 20' non-exclusive easement for installation of
water piping.
Mayor Hyde stated that this matter was brought back to Council to reconsider the
action taken several months ago on a similar request for use of the eminent domain
proceedings to acquire an easement across property owned by United Enterprises to
serve Chula Vista Woods Subdivision. Council authorized the proceedings provided
that condemnation proceedings by Otay Municipal Water District for a 30-foot wide
easement were to take place prior to the City instituting proceedings. The Water
District has commenced condemnation for a 20-foot easement rather than the 30'
easement; therefore, Council will reconsider its earlier action and also consider
mutually acceptable alternatives to resolve the problem.
Mr. Michael Spata, representing United Enterprises, returned to the podium and
reiterated his earlier request that Council continue this matter for fifteen
days pursuant to a public hearing process.
Council discussed the time frame for setting a public hearing and filing of the
earlier action. It was agreed to consider the latter issue, pending the outcome
of the hearing.
Mr. Thomas Davis, 2550 Fifth Avenue, San Diego and Mr. Jack Gardner, 4363 Grace
Road, Bonita, representing Gardner and Associates, concurred with the 15-day
continuance.
MSUC (Scott/Gillow) to continue the item for three weeks and set it for public
hearing on May 12, 1981.

15. Report on Golf Course Master Facilities Plan (Director of Parks and Recreation)

location of the present golf course maintenance facility and its relationship
