PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCE 5. PUBLIC HEARING -CONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT 82-7, LAS FLORES, NORTH OF "D" STREET AT LAS FLORES DRIVE (Director of Planning) This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing. Director of Planning Peterson summarized his staff report commenting that applicant is requesting approval of a tentative subdivision map known as Las Flores, Chula Vista Tract 82-7 in order to subdivide 5 acres, located on the east side of Las Flores Drive extended north of "D" Street, into 20 single family residential lots in the R-1 zone. On December 16, 1981, the Planning Commission adopted the Negative Declaration with the mitigation measures on IS 82-15 and the Commission unanimously recommended that Council approve the map for Las Flores in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution PCS-82-7. The development involves the extension of Las Flores Drive and other public improvements which are later to be coordinated with the Hudson Valley Estates subdivision located on the westerly slopes of Las Flores Canyon, opposite the applicant's development. The net density of the subdivision is con- sistent with the General Plan designation for this area (Medium Density Residential). Director Peterson displayed a plat and commented that the development contemplates filling of Las Flores Canyon to a level above the 100 year flood level and that developers of the Hudson Valley Estates Subdivision are cooperating on the grading and other improvements of the canyon. The tentative map conforms to all of the pro- visions of the subdivision and zoning ordinance of the City of Chula Vista, including provisions regarding Flag lots. Sue Hudson, owner of Hudson Valley Estates, spoke in favor of the project and ex- plained that many problems experi'enced in getting Las Flores Drive constructed caused delays in development of Hudson Valley Estates. There being no further comment, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. a. RESOLUTION NO.lO744-APPROVING TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT 82-7, LAS FLORES The resolution approves the tentative subdivision map for Chula Vista Tract 82-7, Las Flores, in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution PCS-82-7.

PUBLIC HEARING -CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO EL RANCHO DEL REY SPECIFIC PLAN TO REDESIGNATE HIGH SCHOOL SITE IN RANCHERO SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA TO LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (Director of Planning) This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing. City Council Meeting -3- January 12, 1982 6. PUBLIC HEARING (CONTINUED) Director of Planning Peterson commented on his written report indicating that the School District has officially notified the City of Chula Vista that the 50 acre parcel of land located on the southerly side of the extension of East "J" Street, between the San Diego Gas & Electric transmission lines and the extension of Paseo Ladera will not be used to develop an educational facility. Mr. Peterson reported that the Sweetwater Union High School District decided not to acquire or reserve the site at the time of review of the tentative map for E1 Rancho del Rey (ERDR) Unit 6. The tentative map was, therefore, approved with residential uses for that area. Mr. Peterson added that this amendment is a "clean up" item to bring the ERDR Specific Plan into conformity with the School District's and Council's previous decision. Councilman Scott referred to the last joint meeting with the School Board in which Member Judith Bauer mentioned that the site was not acquired because of lack of funds and not because the District no longer wanted it. Director Peterson responded to that concern, stating that Planning staff had worked very closely with the School District during the period of time before the map came for approval (with residential uses on that parcel); made a presentation to the District to emphasize that staff felt there was need for an additional high school site located somewhere between 1-805 and Otay Lakes Road; the School Board failed to make a timely decision, and after Council had approved the tentative map, the School District's decision came in indicating that they did not intend to acquire the site. Mr. Peterson commented on some of the concerns raised by the School District; that he discussed their decision with the Superintendent on several occasions, but that he was unable to ascertain the underlying reason for that determination. He added that the tentative map has been approved and final maps are in process. There being no comment either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. a. ORDINANCE NO. 1967 - AMENDMENT TO EL RANCHO DEL REY SPECIFIC PLAN TO REDESIGNATE HIGH SCHOOL SITE IN RANCHERO SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA TO LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - FIRST READING The ordinance redesignates the 50 acre site within the Ranchero Sectional Planning Area from "High School" to "low density residential, 2-3 DU/acre" on the plan dia- gram of the E1 Rancho del Rey Specific Plan. MSUC (Scott/Campbell) to place the ordinance on first reading. The reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. Council discussion concerned the decision of the School District and the time when Council should have approached the District regarding designation of the site. Director Peterson responded to Council's questions; City Attorney Lindberg pointed out that the City is under legal obligation to secure designation of school sites; and that was done with the full awareness of the needs expressed by the School District; they had worked with the developer and with staff in designating those areas; were aware of action at the previous public hearing and were aware of this public hearing. 7. PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF A REVISED HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN (Director of Planning) This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing. Principal Planner Pass detailed the parameters of the proposed new Housing Element which was designed to bring the City's housing element into compliance with the 1977 Housing Element Guidelines of the State Department of Housing and Community Development. Mr. Pass noted that the State Attorney General has rendered the option that these guidelines constitute mandatory criteria; that the proposed Housing Ele- ment has been coordinated with the State Department of Housing and Community Devel- opment and is expected to satisfy the 1977 Housing Element Guidelines. Mr. Pass reviewed revisions to Part 1 and Part 2 of the Housing Element, noting that amend- ments to Part 2 will substantially improve the presently adopted Housing Element of the General Plan and will increase the City's commitment to promote the housing needs of its residents. City Council Meeting -4- January 12, 1982 7. PUBLIC HEARING (Continued) Mayor Cox noted the importance of the Housing Element and in view of the extensive detail of the plan recommended continuance of the hearing to a Council Conference.

RESOLUTION NO. 10746 - COMMENDING DALEY CORPORATION FOR THE EXCELLENT MANNER IN WHICH THEY HAVE PERFORMED IN CARRYING OUT THE CONTRACT Mayor Cox presented the resolution of commendation to Mr. Phil May of the Daley Corporation, expressing the appreciation of the Council for the excellent manner in which the contractor performed.

Mr. May gratefully accepted the commendation and thanked the Engineering Department for their cooperation. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 9.

Community Development Director Desrochers explained that Engineering and Community Development Departments have been working on this proceeding to resolve problems with the utility companies. He assured customers of the utilities in the area that services will not be interrupted until they have been relocated out of the area -- that the vacation will not take effect until all occupants have left the area. City Attorney pointed out that this proceeding is within the Redevelopment Project Area; that the City is under no obligation to reserve those easements presently existing for SDG&E or any other utility company. Carl Lower, representing SDG&E, 436 "H" Street, stated that SDG&E has facilities located within the streets being vacated and has protested closure; that they will no longer have the right to maintain their facilities in the existing locations and continue service to customers within the area; they have a verbal understandin9 with the Redevelopment Agency that they will not be asked to remove the facilities until the customers have requested discontinuance of service. He stated that SDG&E does not anticipate any problems, but wanted to advise Council of their position. Judith Connelly, Chula Vista Beauty College, repeated the request made at the No- vember 17 public hearing considering the vacation that the streets and utilities remain available to her and ~r. Lyell Jenkins until their relocation proceedings are resolved with the Redevelopment Agency. City Attorney Lindberg indicated that while the assumption can be made that the streets will not be closed until some future time, continued existence could not be guaranteed. He stated that the purpose of this item is to conclude the legal pro- cess of street vacation. City Council Meeting -5- January 12, 1982 9. RESOLUTION NO. 10747 (Continued) Roland Rossmiller, representing the Sweetwater Authority, 386 Third Avenue, stated that the Authority has no objection to the closure of the streets provided they have the right to operate and maintain existing water facilities. He requested a blanket ~r temporary easement 20 feet in width centered over the existing facilities between Center and Landis until their facilities are relocated by the Redevelopment Agency. In addition, he advised that the Authority may be entitled to "substantial" franchise rights pursuant to a blanket easement over the entire area given on June 9, 1869 to which the Sweetwater Authority is successor. Attorney Lindberg responded that the City does not recognize preferential rights but does recognize the need to provide a blanket easement which will be brought back to Council. Responding to Council, City Engineer Lippitt stated that the blanket easement will be prepared for Council consideration in two weeks. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 10. RESOLUTION NO. - ADOPTING SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS POLICY (COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR) Housing Coordinator Gustafson reviewed the action of the City Council in 1979 amend- ing the zoning provisions relating to Senior Housing Developments to provide for density bonus and development standards exceptions on a conditional use basis for development of housing projects for the exclusive use of low or moderate income senior citizens. The resolution adopting this policy sets forth the eligibility standards for achieving the conditional use which include age requirements, income levels, income certification, unit pricing and preservation of affordability. Applications are currently pending for this conditional use, therefore, requiring formulation of a specific policy. Discussion and comment followed concerning establishment of a "bureaucracy" to monitor the program to ensure that everyone meets the criteria and to control resales. Councilman Scott expressed "tremendous misgivings" over the effectiveness of the policy and in particular on resales of the units. Mr. Gustafson responded that re- sale would be controlled on a 25 year basis by right of first refusal to the City; that the City would contract with the County Housing Authority for qualification of eligible buyers to minimize involvement of City staff. MSUC (Scott/Cox) to amend the resolution to delete those areas providing for purchase of units. ll.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently contracted with the Housing Authority to build 24 family units in Chula Vista and concurrently converted a portion of the remaining funds for construction of 30 elderly one-bedroom units. The resolution approves the amended and restated MOU to provide for development of t~o~e units. Councilwoman McCandliss commented that statements of Boards and Commissions on the staff report should reflect the specific recommendation on the issue and not a state- ment of general philosphy. Community Development Director Desrochers responded that in this instance the Subcommittee has not reviewed the item.

Director Pfister summarized the written report in which he noted that the current five year agreement with Joe Warburton, Golf Pro, expired on December 31, 1981. At the meeting of December 22, 1981, Council approved a month-to-month extension of that agreement, pending completion of a report to determine if the City should seek proposals from private operators to provide the same range of services now provided under the contract with Mr. Warburton and also to incorporate in a single agreement provision for total golf course operation and management by a private concern.

The County provisions have been reviewed, as have conditions in Chula Vista.

MSUC (Scott/Cox) to accept the report and direct staff to draft a mobilehome park relocation assistance ordinance.

Attorney Lindberg stated that the League of California Cities supports the bill as aiong overdue legislation. Under present law, should any city be found even marginally liable in any lawsuit involving "joint tort feasers" and if the other party were incapable of providing the major portion of the ultimate settlement, the City would have to pick up the balance Q~ the total amount of judgment.
