WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS - None PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS 5. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT 81-8, LANSDOWN VILLAS~ 365 ROOSEVELT AND 370 VANCE (DIRECTOR OF PLANNING) This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing. Director of Planning Peterson reviewed his written report and commented that the applicant has submitted a tentative subdivision map known as Lansdown Villas (CVT 81-8) for the purpose of subdividing four parcels containing a total of 0.73 acres into a one-lot condominium project consisting of twenty two-bedroom units. The four properties are located back to back at 367-371 Roosevelt Street and 368-374 Vance Street in the R-3 zone. Once combined, they will create a through lot between the two fully improved streets. Mro Peterson noted that the area is undergoing a transformation from single family dwelling homes to apartments or condominium units and that parking counts taken by the Engineering Department on Vance Street did not reveal a parking problem. Mr. Peterson commented on the postcard survey concerning parking alternatives conducted by the Engineering Department and referred Council's questions and comments to City Engineer Lippitt. Mr. Lippitt discussed the four'alternatives posed to the area residents and based upon the results, it was determined that elimination of parking on one side of Vance Street would resolve potential traffic circulation/parking problems. Council discussion related to the survey results and the method of implementing the selected alternatives; staff commented on the priorities expressed by those residents who responded to the survey. City Council Meeting -2- July 21, 1981 5. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT 81-8, LANSDOWN VILLAS -- continued Chuck Hamilton, 232 Garrett, Chula Vista, owner of 357 Roosevelt Street, addressed the Council concerning a parking survey which he conducted in the area and proposed either leaving the parking as it is since most of the area is developed pursuant to R-3 standards with provision for the required on-site parking; parking on one side of the street only; or no street parking at all. Mr. Schnitker, 230 Glover Avenue "B", designer and agent for the developer, B&G Investment, addressed Council concerning the proposed development and offered to respond to any questions raised by Council, staff, or members of the audience. Brent Bergh, 5743 East Smith, Commerce, California, General Partner of B&G Invest- ments, commented that developers are willing to accept conditions which may be attached to the resolution of approval and also expressed the opinion that restricted parking would encourage residents to use the on-site parking provided within the development. Don Ramos,368 Roosevelt, spoke in favor of the development and in favor of the alternative of widening the street to accommodate increased parking requirements rather than permitting parking on one side of Vance Street only. City Engineer Lippitt responded to Council questions concerning the traffic counts; the number of individuals who would be affected by a possible 19.11 Act improvement district and the recommendation to approach potential traffic and parking problems with long range solutions in mind. Also addressing Council concerning the development and traffic/parking issues were: Mrs. Clayton Bingham, Roosevelt Street; Pat Hollister, 374 Roosevelt and Don Ramos, who returned to the podium to express the concern that a precedent of making public improvements could ultimately lead to installation of parking meters since the specific area will eventually have central orientation to banks, sur- rounding shopping centers and the Municipal Court complex. There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. a. RESOLUTION NO. 10556 APPROVING TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT 81-8 LANSDOWN VILLAS The resolution concurs with the Planning Commission approval of the development of twenty two-bedroom condominium units to be known as Lansdown Villas, Chula Vista Tract 81-8. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN GILLOW; the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. MS (Hyde/McCandliss) directing staff to prepare a detailed, formal study of the traffic/parking problem on Vance and Roosevelt Streets and come back with recommendations for appropriate action° After additional Council discussion, the motion was amended with consent of the second to direct staff to come back at the earliest possible time with their firm recommendation on the short range solution to the parking and traffic problems on Vance and Roosevelt and that as soon as is appropriate thereafter that they come back with a study on what is considered to be the permanent solution to the traffic and parking on these two streets, and that replacement of the trees be considered a part of any comprehensive report involving widening of the street as a permanent solution. The motion carried unanimously. 6. REPORT SHORT RANGE AND LONG RANGE PROBLEMS REGARDING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE OTAY VALLEY (CITY ENGINEER) In conjunction with the public hearing concerning the tentative subdivision map for Otay Valley Industrial Park, City Engineer Lippitt prepared a report dis- cussing short range and long range development problems in regard to public im- provements in the Otay Valley. His report noted that the 41-acre industrial sub- division is the first proposed development of the 140 undeveloped acres on the north side of Otay Valley Road, and also discussed sewer service; water service; major streets; financing or sharing of the costs of the improvements and the extent of City participation. Pending Council approval of the tentative map, Mro Lippitt recommended that a proposal for further study be developed. City Council Meeting -3- July 21, 1981 6. REPORT SHORT RANGE AND LONG RANGE PROBLEMS REGARDING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE OTAY VALLEY -- continued Mro Lippitt responded to Council comments and questions related to eligibility of the area for assisted-development through use of Community Development Block Grant funds or industrial bonds° He noted that the various methods of financing the development and public improvements so that the costs are spread equitably warrant further research in coordination with the Community Development Department, and recommended Council approval of the request to draft a proposal for further study, either by staff or a consultant. MSUC (Cox/Scott) to accept the staff recommendation directing staff to return with a report describing staff and/or consultant actions and work that needs to be completed to provide for the orderly development of the Otay Valley. 6a. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF REVISED TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT 81-60TAY VALLEY INDUSTRIAL PARKs 500 BLOCK OTAY VALLEY ROAD This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hyde opened the public hearing. The Director of Planning submitted the tentative subdivision map for Chula Vista Tract 81-6, known as Otay Valley Industrial Park, for subdivision of 40.76 acres located at the northwest quadrant of Otay Valley Road and Maxwell Road in the I-P zone into 29 industrial lots. At the Council meeting of May 19, 1981, the applicant indicated that he wished to redesign the map due to economic considerations and requested that no action be taken at that time. Consequently, the map was revised by reducing the number of lots from 29 to 19 and creating a new street pattern, On June 24, 1981, the Planning Commission adopted the Negative Declaration (IS-81-24) pertaining to the revised project, and recommends Council approval in accordance with PCS-81-6 (revised). Mr. Peterson commented that the 19 lots will be subdivided with a minimum lot size of 38,000 square feet and a maximum of 210,000 square feet; the lots will front on two cul-de-sac streets running east to west from Maxwell Road; and that the project will require grading consisting of approximately 440,000 cubic yards of cut-and- fill, creating approximately 11 acres of manufactured slopes. The Director of Planning commented on areas of disagreement with the developer in: 1) proposing street sections which do not conform to the City's industrial standards, noting that those standards require a greater right-of-way and curb-to-curb dis- tance in order to accommodate truck traffic; 2) objection of the developer to the requirement for the widening of Otay Valley Road and the section of Maxwell Drive lying outside the boundaries of the subdivision within a 3.5 acre triangular section of land, which the applicant unsuccessfully attempted to acquire, subject to reim~ bur~ement at such time as the triangular parcel is developed. Mr. Peterson advised Council that the Planning Commission considered the applicant's requests for certain modifications; however, the Planning Commission elected not to waive any conditions, and approved the map subject to the conditions, as recommended. Staff responded to Council questions concerning the need for sidewalks in an in- dustrial area, commenting that the requirement is standard in industrial areas. City Engineer Lippitt commented on the minimal use of sidewalks in the industrial zone since patrons generally park on-site rather than on the street and added that he would consider eliminating or deferring that requirement in advance of the sub- mission of the final map; Mr. Peterson concurred. Eugene Cook, representing E. F. Cook and Associates, Civil Engineers for the project, addressed Council with specific reference to the areas of disagreement with staff, including the request for a 2.5:1 slope ratio rather than 3:1 as required on the southwest corner of Otay Valley; approval of a 60-foot right-of- way and curb-to-curb width of 44 feet; approval of a narrower curb-to-curb diameter for the cul-de-sacs serving the two lots at the end, reduced by approxi- mately 10 feet from standard requirements; disagreement with the requirement to provide right-of-way from the triangular lot to the south, proposing instead to install approximately 89% of the total paving required to widen it, without putting in the curbs or berms or right-of-way required. Mr. Cook proposed to do the paving, if the City provided the right-of-way,and also agreed to not protest the fon~ation of a 19.11 Act improvement district in the future. City Council Meeting -4- July 21, 1981 6a. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF REVISED TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT 81-6 -- continued Additional discussion followed concerning the requested modifications. Regarding sidewalks, Mr. Cook agreed to installation of sidewalks serving lots 1-5 on the south side and lots 11-15 on the north side in the event office buildings are added in the future. Mr. Peterson commented that the 3:1 slope ratio is an aesthetic consideration which would greatly enhance the appearance of the development. After continued dis~sion regarding sidewalks, staff recommended two courses of action: (1) postponement of the sidewalk requirement until such time as staff has completed all studies; (2) leaving the requirement as a condition of approval pending further investigation of the various financing means and sources which may be available for public improvements. Referring to cul-de-sac frontages on lots 5, 6, 15 and 16, Mr. Cook requested and staff concurred with adjusting the frontages to 50 feet by adjusting lot lines appropriately. There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. Noting that the pertinent condition concerning cul-de-sac frontages was not in- cluded in the Planning Commission resolution, Mr. Peterson was directed to compose the appropriate language while Council continued further discussion. 6b.
