TRACT 82-3 STAR/ORANGE
By general consent, Council agreed to combine the public hearings for items 6 and 7.
This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearings.
Director of Planning Peterson commented on applicant's request for a change of zone
for 18.3 acres located on the south side of the extension of Orange Avenue in the
vicinity of Brandywine Avenue extended to Orange Avenue. The proposal is to change
the zoning from R-1 and R-I-IO-H-P to R-13-P-12 (multiple family residential, 12
units per acre and subject to the Precise Plan Modi~fying District). In addition,
applicant has submitted a tentative subdivision map known as Star/Orange Condominiums
and a precise plan for the development of a 176 unit condominium project. Director
Peterson stated that the Design Review Committee has approved the precise plan, subject
to Council approval of the zoning change, and that the Planning Commission has
recommended approval in accordance with their resolutions PCZ-82-A and PCS-82-3.
In reference to the zoning, Director Peterson stated that the R-1 portion is approxi-
mately one-half acre and is now a part of the Valle Lindo School; that applicant
has been working with the school district to acquire that property; that the General
Plan designation is residential for 12 units per acre.
Additional comment concerned construction of a major drainage facility in relation
to the Poggi Canyon drainage basin; improvement of the Orange Avenue right-of-way
which has been dedicated in conjunction with the development to the north; the
possible improvement of the area to the north (~City-owned property) so that it
would not become an "attractive nuisance."
Further comment related to maintenance of the masonry wall to be constructed along
Orange Avenue and use of a landscaped area between the wall and s!dewalk area which
may deter vandalism. Conditions of approval require that maintenance of the wall
and landscaped area will be the responsibility of the homeowners association.
Director Peterson responded to Council questions concerning the area on the east;
maintenance of the green area on the west and east sides which will be the responsi-
bility of the homeowners association, and he noted that the City is a par~to the
CC&R's for enforcement purposes.
James Ashbaugh, Planner with CEP Associated, 5466 Complex Street, San Diego,
representing applicant, Star/Orange, stated that the applicant is agreeable to the
conditions of approval on the tentative map and responded to Council questions.
He commented concerning the topography of the site; the box culvert system proposed
to be used to carry drainage; the area north of the site; the suggestion of forming
an assessment district for maintenance of the area to the north.
There being no further comments either for or against,~he hearings were declared
closed.
Discussion followed concerning a solution to improving the area to the north of
the site. Development Services Administrator Robens recommended coming back with
a report in a few weeks inasmuch as he could not see how the two parcels tie
together, except geographically lying across the street from each other,
Councilman Scott reiterated the problem that a '~weed patch" w~ll exist across the
street from a new development and that area owned by the Ci]ty wiql be an attractive
nuisance.
City Council Meeting -3- December 8, 1981
6, 7. PUBLIC HEARINGS -- Continued
After further discussion, it was recommended that perhaps a condition of approval
could be added to have the developer grade that area and prepare it for planting,
with the City having responsibility to carry out the planting (native plants).
Mayor Cox commented that depending upon the ultimate alignment of Orange Avenue
that the area could be included at a later date as a part of a larger maintenance
district.
6a. ORDINANCE NO. 1959 CHANGING THE ZONE OF 18.3 ACRES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF
ORANGE AVENUE AT BRANDYWINE FROM R-1 AND R-1-H-P TO R-3-P-11

R-1 and R-I-IO-H-P to R-3-P-11 in conjunction with approval of tentative subdivision
map CVT 82-3, Star/Orange Condominiums.

was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
7a. RESOLUTION NO. 10698 APPROVING TENTATIVE MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT 82-3, STAR/ORANGE
Additional Council comment concerned the possibility of adding a condition of approv-
al to grade the property so that the City could plant it with "native" vegetation;
Councilman Campbell suggested asking staff to attempt to work with the contractor
rather than adding a condition of approval to the tentative map.
MS (Scott/Cox) for both parties to look into the feasibility of providing primary
grading. City Attorney Lindberg recommended inclusion of a condition that the
developer participate in a maintenance district that might be established on an
equitable basis that might be worked out to include properties other than the
immediate development. This property would carry the greatest weight in the estab-
lishment (or the non-protest) of such a maintenance district. Councilman Scott
declined to include this condition in his motion.
Mr. Ashbau§h requested that if Council decided to include this property in a
maintenance district for the property on the north side of Orange Avenue that
the open space areas be included in the district to relieve the homeowners of the
responsibility. Mr. Ashbaugh stated that the property owner is willing to continue
this item for an opportunity to discuss it with staff and come back with a recommendation.
Stuart Herwitz, owner of the project, requested clarification of the recommendation.
Mayor Cox responded that the motion is to request him and staff to work together
to see if there is some possibility of providing a rough grade for the property to
the north, to be resolved either through mutual negotiation or eliminated at
the time the final map comes before Council. City Attorney commented that the
suggestion is so lacking in specificity and definition that it could not be a binding
condition, causing him to expend monies.

REPORTS, REQUESTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
22. Report re~ardin~ request for Commission on A~in~ (Human Relations Commission)
At the meeting of October 6, 1981, Mrs. Margaret Helton requested establils~hment
of a Commission on Aging, which Council subsequently referred to the Human
Relations Commission for evaluation. At a special meeting of the Human Relations
Commission (HRC) on November 18, the Commission ¥oted unanimously to support the
request, but felt that the varied needs of the Senior population would be more
effectively served by a separate commission rather than a subcommittee of the HRC,
In view of their position, staff recommended further study to evaluate alternative
ways to achieve the group's objectives wi'thin the present organizational structure~
MS (Scott/McCandliss) to accept the ~eport.
City Council Meeting -7- December 8, 1981
22. Report - Commission on A~ing -- Continued
Maggie Helton, 152 Mankato Street, disagreed with the staff request for additional
evaluation and requested action that would give "status and dignity" to the seniors
in the community; as to staffing, she stated that the existing Human Services
Coordinator could staff the Comm~sion on Aging. She gave statistics to reflect
the proportion of the population over the age of 60 who are living on SSI payments
and stated that the figures show a need for coordinated planning for Chula Vista's
elderly.
Council questioned staff regarding the alternatives considered. City Manager Cole
commented that an ad hoc committee had been discussed that would function under
the Senior Coordinator and have it operate for a period of time sufficie~for staff
to see if it would be effective. Mr. Cole also commented on the recent elimination
of the Boards and Commissions Secretary position and the resulting increased workload
for remaining secretarial staff as a consideration in establishing another commission.
Dan Brennan, Chairman of the HRC, 171 Camino Vista Real, stated that because of
the referral to the Commission they felt it had been implied that there would either
be a Commission on Aging or a committee under the HRC subtitled "Seniors" or
"Commission on Aging;" they had not considered an ad hoc committee; and that a
committee under the HRC would be "removing the seniors one step further;" that
it was a legitimate concern, but would not function as well under the HRC as it would
on its own.
Council questioned exactly what the role of the CommissiOn on Aging would be; where
they would fit in the structure; and is the City already coordinating existing
private and governmental services. Councilman Scott specifically requested:
(1) staff's "creative" ideas; and (2) work out with Ms. Helton some concrete
charge of the committee or commission -- its role, responsibilities and how would
it obtain its goals and carry out its responsibilities.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
MSUC (Cox/Campbell) to continue this item until December 22; at that time staff
to come back with their recommendations and (the Council) make a decision.
MSUC (Scott/Campbell) that the ordinance creating the Commission on Aging be brought
forth on December 22 for the City Council to decide at that time.
23. Rep.or~ on request for refund of sewer service charges (Assistant City Manager)
Assistant City Manager Asmus reviewed the provisions of Ordinance No. 1774 which was
adopted by the City Council in October 1977 providing for exemption of the sewer
service charge where a premise is not connected to the sewer system. The ordinance
provided that upon application, the property owner would De granted an exemption
for a period of not more than 90 days p~ecedi'ng the filing of the application, as
well as exemption in the future. As a result of the 1977 amendment, approximately
400 applications have been processed; however, a proposal has been made by Mrs~ Mar~e
Dalton to retroactively refund all sewer service charges collected prior to the 1977
ordinance to these same 400 exempt properties which ~ould total ap@roxi~ately $100,000.
Inasmuch as the City Council in 1977 acted to exempt non-sewered propert~ies,
Mr, Asmus indicated that it is not incumbent upon a future Council to ma~e refund~
on those fees paid prior to the change in policy. Accordingly, staff recommended
that Council reject the proposal to refund retroactively ml~ sewer serv!ce charges
collected from unsewered properties prior to enactment of Ordinance No. 1774.
MSUC (Scott/Gillow) to accept the report of the Assistant City Manager.
24. Report on additional San Diego Trolles Station at "E" Street (Development Service~
Administrator)
Development Services Administrator Robens referred to his staff report and commented
that the Transit Coordinator, in coordination with other City departments and MTDB
staff, completed a preliminary analysis of having an addi'ti]onal Trolley station
at "E" Street. Based upon their evaluation, an "E" Street ~tation would be
advantageous to the City, pending detailed analysis of the specific site, parking
requirements and the traffic flow on "E" Street.
City Council Meeting -8- December 8, 1981
24. Report - "E" Street Trolley Station -- Continued
Development Services Administrator Robens reported that MTDB received a request for
an additional station on "L" Street from a labor union and that both the "E" Street
and "L" Street stations will be considered by the Board.
MSUC (Scott/McCandliss) to accept the report.
Councilman Scott commented that he would like to see trees planted along the eastern
side of the tracks; that it would help the City's image; and suggested a community
project with everyone donating a tree.
MSUC (Scott/Cox) by way of the Mayor that this be brought to the attention of those
people that would be interested in providing some funds or energy planting trees along
the MTDB line.
Mayor Cox commented that he assumed one of the groups might be the Chamber of Commerce
Beautification Committee.

ciation for the close ties and cooperation which have developed between the City
Council and Chamber.
