TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION
MAP FOR CHULA VISTA Director of Planning Peterson explained that the applicant
TRACT 80-14, BONITA submitted a tentative subdivision map known as Bonita Hills
HILLS, 1400 RIDGEBACK for the conversion of an existing 94 unit apartment complex
ROAD located at 1400 Ridgeback Road in the C-C-P zone into a one
lot condominium project. The project was developed in
1978 and includes a swimming pool, recreation area, laundry,
storage and parking. Revisions are currently being made to
certain units to provide storage and privacy.
Mr. Peterson said the development meets the requirements
for condominiums and was approved by the Design Review
Committee on May 1. The Planning Commission voted 3-3 to
recommend approval of the tentative map subject to the
conditions outlined by the staff, with differing opinions
regarding the requirement to participate in the construc-
tion of "H" Street.
Mr. Peterson reported that last week the Planning Commis-
sion denied a condominium conversion on Orange Avenue and
recommended the establishment of a moratorium on condomi-
nium conversions, in view of the rental market at this time,
in order for staff to study this problem.
The recommendation of the staff, Mr. Peterson stated, is
to approve the subject tentative map.
In response to a query from Councilman Scott, Mr. Peterson
informed the Council that staff is checking into the
legality and feasibility of having separate zoning for
apartments and condominiums. A report will be coming to
the Council regarding this study.
Held Tuesday - 7:00 p.m. -4- July 15, 1980
PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES (Cont.)
Syd Xinos Mr. Xinos, representing the applicant, stated that the
Schwerin, Xinos & Assoc. "goal in the American life style is for as many families
1400 6th Avenue as possible to own their own home," and condominiums are
San Diego one means which provide affordable housing to many people.
Mr. Xinos spoke against the recommendation to include the
project in the reimbursement district for East "H" Street
stating that no more traffic will be generated from the
area as condominiums than as an apartment unit and the
added expense will increase the cost of the housing. He
added that should the Council approve the condition, he
would ask that it be modified to be more Flexible so a cash
deposit will not be required.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against,
the public hearing was closed.
In answer to a question from Mayor Hyde, Assistant City
Attorney Harron said he feels there are probably alternative
methods of securing the improvements on "H" Street. He
suggested that this condition be changed to ..."a cash
deposit or some other alternative acceptable to the City"
so that between now and the time the final map is approved,
an alternative method may be developed.
Council discussion ensued with staff as to the justification
for including the project in the "H" Street reimbursement
district. Mr. Lippitt said they will benefit from "H"
Street and if they do not share in the district, the costs
to other units will be higher to make up the difference.
Motion to approve It was moved by Mayor Hyde and seconded by Councilwoman
tentative map subject McCandliss that the tentative subdivision map be approved
to staff conditions subject to the conditions recommended by the staff.
Councilman Cox expressed his concern over the requirement
to have the project participate in the reimbursement
district for "H" Street and questioned this additional
obligation.
Substitute motion It was moved by Councilman Cox that Condition No. S be
deleted from the conditions of approval recommended by the
staff.
No second to substitute The substitute motion died for lack of a second.
