("CCS") ruling regarding their CUP term l.ngth~. While I appreciate the Planning »epa:rtment's qood faith determinations regarding the CCS and our property, the Planning Department has been consistently opposed to any term over two years for this CUP. Therefore, it comes a. no surprise to me that ~he Department endor.e. the 2.5 year term and will not request a rehearing on this issue. AS an aside, it is my understanding from public testimony given at the 1a.t hearing, that there have been recent educa~iona1 CUP'\,qranted that have no term attached, i.e., they are of indefinite duration. If you will reoall, the CCS hearing wee oric¡inel1y heard t during ~he December 4, 1993 Jl\ee~inq of the Counoil.

'!'hie is oertainly not the model of a bUBiness park that Bastlake has been proudly IrOllOting to the homeowners· and businesses, both present and uture, within the development. I also believe that the folk. at Kaiser Medical Center would be unhapfiY with the rroduction or us~ of such materials in the vicin ty of the I' new flagship , hospital/medical oenter.

The Council limited the term of the permit to 2.5 years rather than the five-year term sought by the applicant and previously approved by the p¡anning Commission. The staff had recommended limiting the term to two years. Significant to Council's decision to limit the term of the permit to 2.5 rather than five years was information regarding special studies called Risk Management Prevention Programs (RMPP) that are required by state law for any facility that proposes to use certain quantities of toxic chemicals within proximity of a "sensitive population" such as a school. These studies can be expensive and the concern was that this requirement may have a negative influence in terms of attracting certain companies to a potential BioTech zone currently under study for this area of the Business Center. Following the Council meeting, Planning staff was contacted by Mr. Gordon Dunfee, the property owner, regarding the accuracy and extent of information provided to Council. Mr. Dunfee observed that the state law does not refer to 1,000 ft. as represented by staff to Council, and that the proposed Kaiser Hospital and a church approved for the westerly portion of the Business Center are also dermed as "sensitive populations" under state law, and this information should have been disclosed to Council as well. The issue of RMPPs was raised in a letter from the EastLake Development Company which was received by the Planning Department on the Friday before the hearing, and reported to Council in an information memo which was distributed to Council on the day of the hearing (please see attached) . The staff had confmned EastLake's information with the Hazardous Materials Management Division of the County Department of Environmental Health (HAZMA T) prior to forwarding the information to Council. ._--~---~..--."._- .. ---"'--'--'--'--'----- . The Honorable Mayor and City Council -2- December 29, 1993 With regard to Mr. Dunfee's concerns, it is correct that the state law does not itself refer to a figure of 1,000 ft. What the state law does say is that "If the administering agency detennines that there is a significant likelihood of risk... it shall require the handler to prepare and submit an RMPP ..." In this instance, the administering agency is HAZMA T, and they presently use a 1,000 ft. radius as the area of "significant likelihood of risk" for sensitive populations in relation to the handlers of acutely hazardous materials. In subsequent contacts with HAZMAT, they report that a technical committee is currently working to refine their guidelines for defining the area of significant risk. These refinements will likely result in an area which is either greater or less than 1,000 ft. depending on the specific chemical involved and the particular circumstances of the use and site. These refined guidelines are expected to be finalized no later than March 1, 1994. In the meantime, however, the standard used by HAZMAT is 1,000 ft. (please see attached letter from HAZMAT). HAZMAT also reports that the proposed Kaiser Hospital would be considered a sensitive population, although the church would not be so categorized unless it involved a school or day care component, which it does not. Since the hospital is located on the far westerly boundary of the Business Center, however, this may argue for not committing to a longer-tenn sensitive population on the easterly boundary and thereby further narrowing the number of parcels available for BioTech development which would not require an RMPP. Although the existence - of the hospital may eventually impact some prospective biotech uses under HAZMA T's revised guidelines, this remains to be detennined. The BioTech program as it is presently conceived would involve two stages. The first stage would be a pilot program involving available parcels in the existing Business Center. If successful, the second stage would involve establishing a special zone and perhaps other programs to facilitate BioTech development in the areas to the east which have been approved as an expansion of the Business Center under the EastLake III GDP (please see attached exhibit). Mr. Dunfee has stated that he may seek from Council a rehearing on the tenn of the Covenant Christian pennit for the reasons discussed above. Although staff does not oppose a rehearing if Council feels that this clarifying information would have been relevant to their decision, we believe that Council was given accurate infonnation upon which to base a decision, and that a sound land use decision was made to grant an initial tenn of 2.5 years with the possibility of extension.

SUBJECT: Update regarding City Council Agenda Item 23 with respect to agreement between schools regarding shared use of 2400 Fenton Street, and extending use of Scobee Park from two to five years As noted in the staff report on this item, a meeting was held in which tentative agreement was reached between the two schools on all of the issues regarding shared use of the building and site at 2400 Fenton Street. Attached hereto is a draft written agreement prepared by Covenant Christian which will be presented to Bonita Country Day School for review and consideration prior to tonight's meeting. Mr. Curt Stephenson, representing the EastLake Business Center Owners' Association, has stated in the attached letter that their position is clear; Le., two years of use of Scobee Park have been approved, and an extension beyond that time should not be a problem in the future provided Covenant Christian performs satisfactorily during the initial two-year period. Mr. Stephenson bas also raised an issue in his letter regarding the fact that State law requires expensive special analysis for any facility that proposes to use toxic chemicals within 1,000 ft. of a scbool or health care facility. Although he does not suggest that the school use be denied for this reason, be believes this information should be brought to Council's attention in their consideration oftbe school use in relation to the City's effons to establish a biotech zone in this area of the EastLake Business Center. Staff confmned Mr. Stephenson's statements with the Hazardous Materials Management Division of the County Department of Environmental Health. Any facility proposing to use a specified quantity of an WlCUtely hazardous material" within 1,000 feet of a wsensitive population" (which would include a school), would be required to prepare a Risk Management and Prevention Program, the cost of which, according to the Hazardous Material representative, can range from only a few dollars up to $100,000 or more, depending on the chemical and circumstances involved. Although this would not prohibit a biotech user from locating in the area, it could influeøce their decision or ability to do so.

Meeting Date 01111/94 ITEM TITLE: Resolution /7 JSb Establishing 1.0 Police Sergeant and 1.0 Police Agent Positions in the Police Department to Fill Vacancies Created by the City's Participation in the Tactical Action Cargo Theft Team, Creating the Regional Auto Theft Task Force (RATI) Fund, Recognizing Prospective Revenue Resources and Appropriating Expenditures Therefrom. SUBMITTED BY: Chief of Police e,v'\'- REVIEWED BY: City ManagerJ{à ~V~\ (4/5th's Vote: Yes-L No~ The South Bay area of San Diego County, including the City of Chula Vista, is a major cargo traffic area which serves as a transportation thoroughfare between Los Angeles and the Mexican border. Working together, an enforcement team made of officers from local, state and federal agencies has had success in reducing cargo thefts. These successful operations have led federal, state and local law enforcement officials to conclude that a regional enforcement team is the best approach to reducing cargo theft in San Diego county. The proposed Resolution would increase the Police Department's position count by 2.0 sworn positions, 1.0 Police Sergeant and 1.0 Police Agent, to supervise and staff the Tactical Action Cargo Theft Team (TACT Team). The TACT Team will operate under the umbrella of Regional Auto Theft Task Force. The additional positions will be paid for by funding made available to local governments through Senate Bill 2139. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Resolution. Background In September 1992, law enforcement officers from the National City (NCPD), Chula Vista (CVPD) and San Diego Police Departments (SDPD), and, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) met to discuss the cargo theft problem in the South Bay region of San Diego county. Each of these departments had recognized an increase in cargo thefts during the preceding twenty-four months. Each had participated in a very successful informal cargo theft task force for a six month period prior to this meeting. At this meeting, a consensus emerged among the chief officers of the participating departments that a multi~jurisdictional task force, working in cooperation with the Regional Auto Theft Task Force (RATI), would be the most effective means of reducing cargo theft in the region. The RA IT was established in 1992 to address the growing auto theft problem in San Diego county and is funded through a $1.00 charge on motor vehicle registrations authorized by SB 2139. The proposed Tactical Action Cargo Theft Team ~-/ -- -,.~~_. ..-.--,.- - -,---.~._~------,_.~_..__. Page 2, Item ? Meeting Date 1/11194 (TACT Team) will be funded through this same mechanism via the RATI. The TACT Team will be made up of five cross~deputized law enforcement officers from the CVPD, SDPD and the FBI. The TACT Team will provide a logical, coordinated and multi~jurisdictional approach to the investigation and reduction of cargo theft. Discussion Staff from the participating departments developed the concept of the TACT Team. Survey and focus group discussions were conducted to ascertain the extent of the cargo theft problem in the South Bay region. Participating agencies performed police records searches and met in two separate focus groups with representatives of freight transportation firms. Based upon the survey's findings and recommendations made by the focus groups, the TACT Team's objectives were formulated and staffing needs identified. CVPD took a lead role in these processes and city staff, with the assistance of Special Agent Raymond (Mark) Mori of the FBI, developed the information necessary to bring this proposal forward. Problem Survey. The survey conducted confirmed that cargo theft is a growing problem in southern San Diego county. The South Bay region, including the City of Chula Vista, is a major cargo traffic area which serves as a transportation thoroughfare between Los Angles and the Mexican border. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, over $7.8 billion in trade was conducted in the San Diego Customs District last year. The volume of cargo moving through the area and the ease of access to criminal refuges in Mexico make the South Bay a prime target for professional cargo thieves. Between 1990 and 1992 transportation industry equipment and cargo losses reported to the Police Departments in the South Bay regionl were in excess of $13.7 million. Thefts occurring in the City of Chula Vista accounted for over 27% of that total, or approximately 3.6 million. Focus Groups. Private trucking industry participants in the focus groups expressed grave concerns about the cargo theft problem. Both focus groups recommended some form of regional cargo theft enforcement and pledged their support in training and equipping the officers of the TACT Team. This support has come in the form of communications equipment, computers and undercover vehicles. The private industry representatives were relieved to learn of the TACT Team proposal. It is their collective opinion that the cargo thieves operating in San Diego county are well organized and that a well organized law enforcement response was needed. TACT Team Objectives. To meet the challenge of containing such well organized criminal elements, the TACT Team established the following objectives: 0 Establish a close working relationship with the cargo transportation and storage industries in San Diego county I These agencies include NCPD and CVPD along with the Southern Division of the SDPD. ~~~ __...._m__ ,_,__,,___.___ _._"_ _~__,.._.____._____ Page 3, Item ~ - MO'f'tIl1g Date 1/11/94 0 Act as a resource for cargo theft prevention information. 0 Increase the number of arrests, prosecutions and convictions of cargo thieves and their fences. 0 Reduce court costs by gathering quality evidence to ensure guilty pleas. 0 Identify locations which are used in connection with cargo theft offenses and take appropriate enforcement action. 0 Identify organizations that use cargo theft to commit local and federal crimes. 0 Identify and target local trends and patterns of cargo theft activity. 0 Increase the recovery rate of stolen cargo in San Diego county. 0 To improve the liaison between private industry and law enforcement agencies. TACT Team Staffmg. The TACT Team is proposed to be staffed by a total of five sworn law enforcement officers from the participating jurisdictions. The staffing proposed includes: 2.0 Agents from the FBI, 1.0 Detective from SDPD and 1.0 Agent from CVPD. Additionally, these officers will be supervised by 1.0 Police Sergeant from CVPD. Other agencies (including the Border Patrol, Customs Service, CHP, NCPD and San Diego Harbor Police) have participated in the development of the TACT Team and are committed to evaluating the feasibility of their future participation therein. The TACT Team officers will be cross-deputized to give them the ability to work investigations into both federal and state cargo theft violations. TACT Team Funding -- Personnel. On September 30, 1990, Governor Pete Wilson signed SB 2139, an act amending the Vehicle Code by increasing vehicle registration fees by $1.00 upon the adoption of a resolution by the county Board of Supervisors. On June 2, 1992, the County Board of Supervisors approved such a resolution to fund the RATI. Then, on December 14, 1993, the County Board of Supervisors approved the expenditure of SB 2139 monies to fund the personnel expenses of the TACT Team. The Board's action revised the existing RATI Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to reflect increased expenses associated with the TACT Team. Because specific staffing levels to be provided by participating agencies, and related dollar figures, are not addressed in the RA TI MOU, the Board did not consider a formal amendment to the RA TI Memorandum of Understanding. Based upon a recommendation made by the RA TI Executive Committee, the Board directed County staff to reimburse Chula Vista for personnel expenses related to 1.0 Police Sergeant position and 1.0 Police Agent position for the remainder of the fiscal year. The Board's action also approved subsequent fiscal year reimbursements for those same two positions for an amount not to exceed $138,000. The Sergeant provided by CVPD will supervise the operations of the TACT Team. ¿-3 .---..----....- Page 4, Item ~ - MPl'fil1g Date 1/11194 Based upon the funding arrangement provided by SB 2139, the TACT Team will have no impact on the City's General Fund. The City's experience with the RATI program has proven this funding source to be reliable. SB 2139 includes a January 1996 sunset provision. County and City staff are working towards extending SB 2139's sunset provision. TACT Team Funding - Support and Equipment In addition to RATI funds, on October 11, 1993, Governor Wilson signed into law AB 813 which amends the Public Utilities Code by increasing registration and permitting fees paid by commercial freight carriers. A portion of these increased fees are directed to a special law enforcement fund that can be tapped by law enforcement agencies to underwrite the non-personnel expenses of efforts to reduce cargo theft. Therefore, the TACT Team will be making efforts to tap into AB 813 funds to pay for operating, safety and surveillance equipment. The TACT Team will receive operational, administrative, intelligence and crime analysis support through existing RATI resources. The RA TI has an array of resources at its disposal including, but not limited to asset seizure vehicles, radios and cellular phones. TACT Team Impact on CVPD Operations. As part of the TACT Team proposal, the Chief of Police is recommending that 1.0 Police Sergeant position and 1.0 Police Agent position be filled behind the two officers moving to the TACT Team. This will ensure no reduction in local policing service levels is realized as a result of the City's participation on the TACT Team. Approval of the Resolution will bring the Police Department's total position count to 244.5, 163.0 sworn and 81.5 civilian personnel. However, the Resolution provides for the creation of a Regional Auto Theft Task Force Fund to contain the 3.0 sworn Police positions now allocated to the RATI and paid for by SB 2139 funds. This change is recommended to provide a clearer accounting of Police Department positions not supported by the General Fund. Should the County Board of Supervisors choose to discontinue funding for the TACT Team through SB 2139 funds or should that legislation's January 1996 sunset provision be triggered, and, should other appropriate non~General Fund revenue sources not be identifiable at that time, the Police Department will be reduced by 1.0 Police Sergeant position and 1.0 Police Agent position. Should this scenario develop, staff from the Personnel Department have indicated that incumbent officers will retain their civil service classifications. Furthermore, the City will have to absorb the incremental costs associated with the two "extra" persons until such time as normal attrition reduces the number of incumbents in the Police Sergeant and Police Agent ranks to the levels provided for in that fiscal year's budget. It is anticipated that this attrition process will take no more than one year. Conclnsion Cargo theft is a significant problem in San Diego county and specifically, in the South Bay region. The total dollar value of stolen freight in the South Bay has averaged over $4.5 million annually for the last three years -- 27% of which occurred in Chula Vista. The multi- jurisdictional approach to investigating cargo thefts will establish an intelligence network for the dissemination of suspect and modus operandi information that would be accessible not only to ~-i - -.-.-" _.....__._~.,_.. .-..-,.-....-....--.. ._-_.._-_...._._--._--~----,-,-_...._- . Page S, Item ¿ - Meeting Date 1/11194 the TACT Team, but to law enforcement officers and superior court judges countywide. The implementation of a specialized cargo theft team composed of various agencies supported by intelligence and crime analysis units, an informed judicial system, and the freight transportation industry would provide a coordinated and logical approach to the investigation and reduction of cargo theft. The Chula Vista Police Department has taken a leading role in both RATI and the development of the TACT Team concept. Acting in these leadership roles, staff has identified opportunities to enhance Police service levels to the community, build a partnership with private industry, significantly impact major criminal activities and increase Police Department staffing at no cost to the City. Because a Chula Vista Police Sergeant will be supervising the TACT Team, the team will certainly be responsive to the needs of the Chula Vista transportation industry. The TACT Team will ensure that both the receivers of stolen cargo and the actual cargo thieves are be targeted, arrested and prosecuted regardless of the jurisdiction in which they operate. FISCAL IMPACT: The county of San Diego, through SB 2139, has allocated an amount not to exceed $138,000 annually to reimburse the City of Chula Vista for personnel and overtime costs associated with 1.0 Police Sergeant and 1.0 Police Agent. Staff estimates costs for these two sworn police positions will be approximately $137,563 annually. Fiscal Year 1993~94 impact of these new positions is estimated at $70,110 as detailed in Exhibit A. The County already funds 1.0 Police Agent position, at a Fiscal Year 1993-94 cost of $70,550, through SB 2139 funds. The Resolution provides for the creation of the Regional Auto Theft Task Force Fund with total anticipated Fiscal Year 1993-94 revenues of $140,660 to fund all positions allocated to the RATI and TACT Teams. ¿,~~ ~._._-- -"-- -"'--'--'-~'~--'-_.~'-~~---"._-"".'._'" Page 6, Item £ MPJ'tÜ1g Date 1/11194 EXHIBIT A FY 1993-94 Police Department Budget Amendment for Participation in the Tactical Action Cargo Theft Team of the Creation of the Regional Auto Theft Task Force Fund Investigative Division, Grant Fund Account 219~2191 Account 5101 5103 5141 5142 5143 5144 Total New $23,590 $6,010 $5,270 $1,910 $0 $210 $36,780 Sergeant New Agent $20,520 $6,010 $4,590 $1,910 $300 $180 $33,330 Existing $48,500 $6,010 $10,840 $4,500 $700 $420 $70,550 Agent Total $92,610 $18,030 $20,700 $8,320 $1,000 $810 $140,660 ¿~? ^ _....___.._._·....w...._m.....

Since that time, an in-house Master Plan has been developed for both Halecrest Park and the Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail. The design and development of the Master Plan has been prepared for Council consideration and approval. Visual drawings of the site will be available at the Council meeting to facilitate the description of the proposed Master Plan. RECOMMENDATION: That Council: 1. Approve the Master Plan for Halecrest Park/Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail; 2. Adopt Negative Declaration IS-93-26 (Attachment A); and 3. Approve the revised Capital Improvement Project phasing by consolidating Phases IV and V. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On January 21, 1993, the Parks and Recreation Commission accepted the Halecrest Park/Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail Master Plan. On July 12, 1993. the Resource Conservation Commission reconunended (4-0) that the Negative Declaration for the Halecrest Park/Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail Master Plan be adopted. (Minutes are Attachments B and C.) DISCUSSION: Halecrest Park was originally designed and constructed in the early 1970's. The City owns the unimproved open space land adjacent to Halecrest Park (north). A portion of this open space (approximately 5 acres) would be included in the proposed Master Plan as Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail. This area possesses significant opportunities to design and implement public facilities and use areas. The existing site provides panoramic views of Mother Miguel Mountain to the east, downtown San Diego to the north, San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Halecrest Park includes a playground, picnic shelters, a concrete fire pit, and a parking lot. The open space to the north is currently unimproved and in a natural state. IAII3 .

Page 2, Item L Meeting Date 01111/94 MASTER PLAN DESIGN ISSUES In the master planning process, the Parks and Recreation Department took into consideration a comprehensive assessment of the site's opportunities and constraints. Several issues regarding both the park and the open space affect the design of this project in diverse ways. HaJecrest Park 1. Update the park to ensure accessibility. Due to the age of Halecrest Park and the existing improvements, the entire park and facilities are not in confonnance with the updated Uniform Building Code (UBC) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). All aspects of the park were reviewed and analyzed to determine what improvements were necessary and/or required to bring the project into confonnance and meet accessibility guidelines. 2. Replace old and outdated park components. The antiquated park components will need to be replaced. This includes the playground equipment, lighting, landscaping and the irrigation system. Gavle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail 1. Develop a park program that meets Federal accessibility mandates through proper surfacing and gradients for access to all areas of the Nature Trail. 2. Design a transition from Halecrest Park into the open space to provide a logical sequence. PROPOSED REVISIONS TO SCOPE OF WORK FOR PHASES I. II AND III Park improvements for Halecrest Park and the McCandliss Nature Trail were originally proposed to be implemented through a five phase program as funding was appropriated. The Council conceptually approved a five phase plan on October I, 1991 (Attaclunent "D"). The first three phases, which have been appropriated, focused on the development of the Memorial Grove and the Nature Trail. Phases IV and V constituted the Halecrest Park improvements. This report reconunends a revised phasing program based on the current funding projections, and the logical construction sequencing. Specifically, Phases I, n and ill called for the demolition, grading and implementation of the Memorial Grove and Nature Trail. An amount of $92,500 was appropriated from Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) funds, to implement the three phases. Based upon the proposed Master Plan presented in this report, staff reconunends Phases IV and V (improvements to Halecrest Park) be consolidated and implemented as Phase IV. The implementation of Phase IV will be accomplished when additional funding becomes available. [A1l3 - McCaødls.AI3] '. 7~:2. _.....-- .. '. _M_.'.__.'~__m_.. .._.. .....____.,_,__._~ Page 3, Item 7 Meeting Date 01/11/94 OVERALL MASTER PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed Master Plan for the park and trail addresses the necessary changes to the design of the park, and proposes a design solution that will bring the project into conformance with the Uniform Building Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. These proposed components are designed with sensitivity to the environmental issues, and will benefit user groups. A copy of the illustrative Master Plan graphic is attached ("E"). The major recommendations for Halecrest Park/Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail are: F.YÏ~tÏDl! Phases I. II and III 1. The construction of a decomposed granite road that functions as a joint pedestrian and construction access road. This is required due to the phasing of the project and the need for maintenance and safety vehicles to access the open space. 2. The Gay]e McCandliss Memoria] Grove and Nature Trail would include a memorial plaque on a pedestal, benches orienting towards the view to downtown and the ocean, and additional trees to supplement the existing Sycamore trees adjacent to the seating area. 3. The Nature Trail would include 36" high wood posts with braided cable running through the posts to delineate the walkway and to protect the native plant community. The promontory at the end of the Nature Trail includes benches and information kiosks. 4. Supplemental plantings in the open space (Nature Trail) would repair previous damage and provide COVer for areas impacted by public encroachment. Prooosed Phase IV: (Oril!inallv Phases IV and VI 1. Construction of an entry walkway with wheelchair ramps from East "J" Street into Halecrest Park. 2_ Park identification signage with planting and lighting to accent the entry. 3. New play structures in a re~esigned tot lot that incorporates handicapped accessible resilient surfacing. 4. New stairs with handrails and walkways to meet the current Uniform Building Code requirements. 5. New picnic shelters and site furnishings, picnic tables, benches, trash receptacles, bike rack, hot ash receptacle, drinking fountain, etc. 6. New site security lighting throughout the park. (A1I3 . McCmfb.AI3) 7-3 -- --,..._~---------.__._-----_.~----_._--- -~-_.~--- Page 4, Item L Meeting Date 01111194 7_ An updated irrigation system to provide efficient application of supplemental water. 8. Landscaping to address the new park hardscape configurations and transition into the open space. Also, drought tolerant plantings to replace the dead and dying plant material currently on site. COSTS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT A cost estimate has been prepared based on the proposed Master Plan (Attachment "F"). The total amount for the proposed 4 phases of the park renovation and open space access improvements is $339,500. This amount is more than double the original estimate of $162,500. A majority of the additional $177,000 is a result of having to address improvements in the park and open space to bring the project into confonnance with the current UBC and ADA requirements. The specific site improvements that generated these additional costs are the handicapped access ramps, new and additional walkways, walls with handrails. steps with handrails, new accessible playground equipment and resilient surfacing. These components were either not required in the past, or are existing. but do not meet current standards. The other additional costs include the landscaping, irrigation, signage, and site lighting. The original ClP did not assume the extensive demolition, grading, plant and irrigation replacement, and additional improvements to make the entire project accessible and in complete confonnance. The remaining $247,000 ($339,500 less $92,5(0) for the work in Phase IV (Halecrest Park) would be requested in the future when funding becomes available. FUTURE FUNDING ISSUES AND IMPACT ON MASTER PLAN While Phases I, n, and III contain sufficient funds, Phase IV may not have funding available in FY 94/95. Decisions regarding funding would be made by the Council when revenue projections are produced and the FY 94/95 proposed CIP is considered. Staff in the Planning Department are currently assessing PAD fund revenue resources for FY 94/95. PUBLIC AND INTERDEPARTMENTAL INVOLVEMENT Staff conducted several field trips with enviroDl11ental staff from the Planning Department, and representatives from the Police Department, to allay enviroDl11ental concerns about improvements to the open space area; and address public safety concerns. The Planning Department and Police Department supported the proposed improvements. In addition, staff met with the Halecrest Elementary School staff and PT A to present the proposed Master Plan. The meeting produced favorable results and there was unanimous support for the project as designed. Those in attendance at the meeting expressed that since Halecrest is a satellite school for the sciences. there is a great educational opportunity to utilize the park and open space areas for orienteering and lessons on the native coastal sage scrub plant community. (A1I3 . McCandls.A13) 7-( --_.~_._-_... - -.-..----------.".-""" Page S, Item ? Meeting Date 01/11/94 SUMMARY: Overall, the Department believes this proposed Master Plan, if adopted and implemented, will upgrade Halecrest Park to all current standards and requirements. It will also provide improved facilities for the City, and result in an environmentally sensitive solution to allow access and public appreciation for the natural beauty of our open space areas. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of implementing all phases of the proposed Master Plan is estimated at $339,500. Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) funds, totalling $92,500, have been appropriated by the Council through the Capital Improvement Program, for Phases I, II and III. These phases address the establishment of the Memorial Grove and the Nature Trail. The remaining phase will necessitate additional funding due to redesigning of the park to meet the current Uniform Building Code (UBC) and the new federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mandate. Current estimates for the fmal phase total $247,000, and would be requested, through the CIP process, when funds become available.

Proiect Settinl!. The project site consists of approximately 2.0 acres of the existing Halecrest Park facility and .55 acres of open space adjacent to the park to the north. Surrounding land uses include HaJecrest Elementary School to the east, Interstate 805 to the west, open space to the north, and single-family residential to the south. Halecrest Park is a developed, landscaped public park with play and picnic facilities. The site topography is varied, with higher elevations along the north and west portions of the site and a knoll at the northern edge of the park. No sensitive plant or animal species exist on the previously landscaped portions of the site. However, the adjacent open space is currently in a predominately natural state and is covered with native shrubs and grasses, including Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub, which is considered a sensitive habitat in California. The U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife Service presently does not allow any take of this habitat pending development of guildlines to protect the habitat of the threatened California Gnatcatcher. The open space area has been partially disturbed by an old jeep trail which traverses it from north to south, and by several bike and foot paths. B. Proiect Descriotion The proposed project will establish the Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail in conjunction with public park improvements to the existing Halecrest Park facility. These improvements include a 250-foot long, 7 to 12-foot wide loop pedestrian nature trail, a sign kiosk, and removal the existing picnic shade shelters and play equipment. The old play equipment and picnic facilities will be replaced with new public park facilities. Approximately 500 cubic yards of soil will be excavated and refilled on site. The site will be regraded to soften the site topography, however, all trees will be retained with the exception of one Brazilian Pepper tree on the south edge of the park site. This species of tree is a non-native species and is not considered sensitive. The improved nature trail will be located within the boundaries of the existing dirt jeep trail. Low-lying wooden trail markers will be placed to delineate where ·foot traffic will / ?- c¡ ~ ~ f.t.. 7- cg 1 -.- r___ ~... . ~~~~ city of chula Yllta planning depertment em OF enYlronmental reYlew .ectlon _ CHULA VISTA " , / - - - --.-. - -~..."- ..-.-.,....,-,---.---------..-- out of adjacent open space areas. Non-native and non-sensitive shrubs and plant material within the trail boundaries will be removed and replaced with native plant material to restore the habitat to its natural condition. Previously established dirt trails which are not part of the proposed park improvements will be seeded and mulched to encourage the integrity of the natural open space area. A kiosk describing the surrounding vegetation and educating th epublic about its sensitivity will be placed on site. C. Compatibility with Zonine and Plans The site is zoned "R-l" Single Family Residential. The General Plan designation for the site is "Parks and Recreation." The proposed park improvements are consistent with these designations. D. Compliance with the Threshold Standards 1. Fire/EMS The Threshold Standard requires that fire and medical units must be able to respond to calls within 7 minutes or less in 85 % of the cases and within 5 minutes or less in 75 % of the cases. The City of Chula Vista Fire Department has indicated that this threshold will be met, since the nearest fire station is 1 1/2 miles away and would be associated with a 4 minute response time. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Policy. 2. Police The Threshold Standard requires that police units must respond to 84 % of Priority 1 calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 1 calls of 4.5 minutes or less. Police units must respond to 62.10% of Priority 2 calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 2 calls of 7 minutes or less. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard. The Crime Prevention Unit of the Chula Vista Police Department has indicated that public safety could be a concern on the proposed project site. Please see Public Safety Impacts. Section E of this document. 3. Traffic The Threshold Standard requires that all intersections must operate at a Level of Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "D" may occur during the peak two hours of the day at signalized intersections. Intersections west of 1-805 are not to operate at a LOS below their 1987 LOS. No intersection may reach LOS "E" or "F" during the average weekday peak hour. 2 7-IC . u_ ___.__.......__ .__... __________ ~______~____ Intersections of arterials with freeway ramps are exempted from this Standard. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard. The expansion of the existing park will generate an additional 28 trips per day. The existing Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on the site is 5,650, with a Level of Service (LOS) "A." After project completion, the ADT will increase to 5678. The LOS will remain "A." 4. ParkslRecreation The Threshold Standard for Parks and Recreation is 3 acres/I,( ()() population. The proposed park improvements 5. Drainage The Threshold Standard requires that storm water flows and volumes not exceed City Engineer Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary improvements consistent with the Drainage Master Plan(s) and City Engineering Standards. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard. Existing on-site drainage consists of surface flow to East "J" Street and adjacent canyons. Off-site drainage consists of surface flow in East "J" Street to curb inlets and a brow ditch to the west of park, as we)) as natural canyon swales. The Engineering Division has indicated that these facilities are adequate to serve the proposed project. 6. Sewer The Threshold Standard requires that sewage flows and volumes shall not exceed City Engineering Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary improvements consistent with Sewer Master Plan(s) and City Engineering Standards. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard, since the proposed park improvements will not have an impact on sewer flow or volume. 7. Water The Threshold Standard requires that adequate storage, treatment, and transmission facilities are constructed concurrently with planned growth and that water quality standards are not jeopardized during growth and construction. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard, with compliance to the requirements of the Sweetwater Authority. 3 7-// .···..····_._._·_··___m_'.'··,··,,_.._.._..~"_..._.._~~__~.. E. Identification of EnvironmentaJ Effects An initial study conducted by the City of Chula Vista determined that the proposed project could have one or more significant environmental effects. Subsequent revisions in the project design have implemented specific mitigation measures to reduce these effects to a level of less than significant. The project, as revised, now avoids or mitigates the potentially significant environmentaJ effects previously identified, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report will not be required. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Specific mitigation measures have also been set forth in the Mitigation Monitoring Program which is attached as Addendum "A." The following impacts have been determined to be potentially significant and are required to be mitigated to a level of less than significant. Si~nificant. But Miti2atable Impacts 1. Biol02V Impacts Approximately .55 acres of the site is currently in a naturally vegetated state. Diegan coastal sage scrub, including lemonade berry (Rhus lntegrifolia), is present on the site around the existing dirt jeep trail. The proposed project would require the removal of one 8 foot diameter, 5 foot high stand of lemonade berry which is in the middle of the proposed nature trail. The United States Department of Fish & Wildlife Services (USFWS) has listed the California gnatcatcher as a "threatened" species, therefore, no gnatcatcher habitat, including coastaJ sage scrub, may be impacted. The establishment of a no-net-loss mitigation program acceptable to USFWS will be developed for this project. 2. Public Safety Impacts The existing park topography includes a grassy knoll at the northern edge of the park beyond which is natural open space. The Chula Vista Police Department has indicated that since this area cannot be seen from the lower elevation of the parking lot on the southern edge of the park, the area is difficult to patrol and survey. The proposed project will alleviate this problem by regrading the site to eliminate the knoll and provide a clear line- of-sight from the south end of the park. In addition, the nature trail will be paved with stabilized decomposed granite and wide enough ( 7 to 12 feet) to allow access to police and other emergency vehicles. The Police Department has agreed that if a security gate is installed at the entrance of the park, police personnel will open the gate in the morning and close it at night to prevent loitering and illegal activities. With implementation of these mitigation measures, pùblic safety impacts will be less than significant. 4 7-/;< ---.. - .-....-- --- -~._..._---_.,---,-_._~..._,._-_._-------.-._- F. Miti\1ation necessary to avoid si¡¡nificant effects Specific project mitigation measures have been required to reduce potentially significant environmental impacts identified in the Initial Study for this project to a level of less than significant. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project design and have been made conditions of project approval, as well as requirements of the attached Mitigation Monitoring Program (Addendum . A"). 1. Biolo~y Irnnacts Approximately .55 acres of the site is currently in a naturally vegetated state. Diegan coastal sage scrub, including lemonade berry (genus species), is present on the site around the existing dirt jeep trail. The proposed project would require the removal of one 8 foot diameter, 5 foot high stand of lemonade berry which is in the middle of the proposed nature trail. The United States Department of Fish & Wildlife Services (USFWS) has listed the California gnatcatcheras a "threatened" species, therefore, no gnatcatcher habitat, including coastal sage scrub, may be impacted. The establishment of a no-net-loss mitigation program acceptable to USFWS will be developed for this project as the follows: I. Any grading and trail construction activity shall be limited to August 1, 1993 until the end of March, 1994. 2. Any coastal sage scrub plants removed by the project must be replaced with a similar species. The container size of the replacement plant shall be a minimum of 1 gallon. 3. All grading and construction activities, including the placement of machinery and personnel shall be confined entirely within the nature trail boundaries. No encroachment into the surrounding native habitat will be allowed at any time. 4. All previously established trails that are not part of the proposed park improvements will be seeded with native plant materials and mulched to encourage native plant regeneration. 2. Public Safety Imnacts 1. The site will be regraded to eliminate the knoll and provide a clear line-of-sight from the south end of the park. 2. The nature trail will be paved with stabilized decomposed granite and wide enough to allow access to police and other emergency vehicles. 5 7~J .3 ..-.----... -- .--.-""- 3. The Police Department will open the security gate at the park entrance in the morning and close it at night to prevent loitering and illegal activities. With implementation of these biological and public saftly mitigation measures, project impacts will be reduced to a level of less than significant. G. Findin~s of Insi~nificant Impact Based on the following findings, it is determined that the project described above will not have a significant environmental impact and no environmental impact report needs to be prepared. 1. The project has the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a rlSb or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce tbe number or restrict tbe range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California bistory or prebistory. The proposed project has the potential to impact Diegan sage scrub habitat, however, with implementation of the mitigation measure set forth in Section F of this document, biological impacts will be below a level of significance. Replacement and revegetation requirements of the USFWS will be adhered to during project implementation to comply with their no not loss policy of this sensitive habitat. 2. The project has tbe potential to acbieve sbort-term environmental goals to tbe disadvantage of long-term environmental goals. The public park improvements will not achieve short-term environmental goals at the expense of long-term goals. The project is in compliance with the City's General Plan and zoning. The project will enhance the recreational opportunities at Halecrest Park by replacing old playground equipment and constructing a nature trail which will serve to educate park visitors about the environment. 3. The project has possible effects which are individually limited but cumulatively considerable. As used in the subsection, "cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable wben viewed in connection witb the effects of past projects, the effects of otber current projects, and the effects of probable future projects. The proposed public park improvements will not have a cumulative or growth- inducing impact. The park is an existing neighborhood park designed to serve the surrounding community and will not create a need for new housing or commerical 6 7-)1 .. - ----... ....-.,--...-.--.-....-.--- facilities. Both biological and public safety impacts will be below a level of significance. 4. The environmental effects of a project will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The proposed public park improvements do not have the potential to adversely impact human health. Public safety may be increased with the improved visibility and access to the park by police personnel. The project could have beneficial effects on human safety by replacing old playground facilities with new facilities. No other potential impacts to humans or human health were identified in the Initial Study. H. Consultation 1.

Date: March 4, 1993 To: Maryann Miller, Environmental section via Acting Captain Wilson, Investigations From: Mary Jane Diosdado, SCP~~ Crime Prevention unit . Subject: Halecrest Park, Gayle McCandliss Memorial I have reviewed the information that was provided to the Police Department regarding park improvements. I have some concerns and recommendations that should be considered. Firstly, the area of Halecrest Park is frequented by a variety of persons and/or groups of persons. There are currently not many crime cases for that area but man! calls for service on subjects drinking, vandalizing, gang activ ty, etc. within and in the outl¥ing area around the park. Re-desiîning the park itself requ1res that the area be ~en with a h gh degree of visibility. Lighting must be updated s stantially, and a gate (similar to Hilltop Park) should be installed. The outlying area to the north that is being developed should be graded uphill and not have "dips" or hiding places. Halecrest Park has always required "patrolling" by the Police Department and the Park Ranger(s). Improvements need to incorporate the "defensible space" theory in order for the improvements to be worthwhile. The Police Department appreciates the opportunity to provide in~ut on projects such as this. Please continue to consider the Cr1me Prevention Unit on improvement projects throughout the City. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 691-5127. /7-'1;</7-18 "_" _...._._..___..._._..____.___.__·_____·'___M Attachmént B PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION PAGE 4 (: Janwuy 21, 1993 Several Commissioners cxpressed a reluctance to cut the travel budget since it only represents one person, one conference.

REVIEWED BY: City Manager Cz iL-1b (4/5ths Vote: Yes X No_> ~.. Referral No. 2239 At the regular City Council meeting of January 22.1991, staff was directed to investigate the feasibility of establishing a memorial grove at Halecrest Park in honor of Mayor Gayle McCandliss. Upon further analysis at the park site, an exp:mded concept for the "Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail" has been formlilated for consideration. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: 1. Accept the staff report, approving the project concept of the "Gayle McCandliss Memori¡¡1 Grove and Nature Trail" at Halecrest Park, direct staff to prepare a Master Plan, and approve the submittal of a 5-year phase Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for consideration in FY 93. 2. Appropriate $7,500 from unappropriated RCf funds in FYl991-92 to implement Phase I of the project. BOARDSICOMMlSSIONS REOOMMENDATION: On May 16, 1991, the Parks and Recreation Commission voted unanimously to establish the Memorial Grove at HaJecresl Park. Minutes and Commission staff report are attached. DISCUSSION: At the January 22, 1991 City Council meeting, the council directed staff to investigate the feasibility of planting donated trees in a "Memorial Grove" and locating a dedication plaque at Halecrest Park. The report was to identify an appropriate location, process, and any additional funding necessary so that council could respond to these issues. Staff conducted a site visit to analyze Halecrest Park in an effort to determine an appropriate location for such a Memorial. In analyzing location within the park, consideration was given to existing positive factors such as spectacular views balanced against certain negatives such as proximity to the freeway and portions of the site that are prone to litter and visual pollution. Upon conducting and completing the site inspection, and having subsequent discussions with the Planning Department, it was verified that incorporation of the undisturbed natural open space into the Memorial Grove concept would be an asset. Staff proposes to expand the Memorial to include a nature trail system into this project. IlllIIII'''''''] 1 ..--- t-L- 7- t/.}? , W_"__ , Attachment D-2 Item ¿, Meeting Date 10/1/91 To ensure the acccptability of this project, staff met with Mrs. Norma McOmdliss on Junc 25. ; !)lIj. A site visit was conductcd with her, and thc entire concept and proposcd locations of the various elements were reviewed and discussed with her at length. At the conclusion of thc site visit and meeting, Mrs. McCandliss conveyed her understanding and support for the concept of the project as presented in this report. Based upon this analysis, the department proposes a modification of the "Memorial Grove" concept to include an expansion of the park and the utilization of the city-owned natural open space area to the north of the park. The "Memorial Grove" would be expanded in concept to include a "Nature TraiJ". The expansion of the project's scope is being recommended for the following reasons: 0 The area proposed for the nature trail is owned by the city and has been identified as a potential area for the expansion of Halecrest Park by the Planning Department and the Parks and Recreation Department. 0 The views from this location of the mountains of eastcrn Chula Vista, thc Coronado Bay Bridge and downtO\\-11 San Diego, are spectacular and could hc utilizcd to great benefit. There are very fcw locations within the City of Chula Vista that have a promontory landform such as this, that allows unobstructed views. 0 Because the natural coastal sage/chaparral habitat that is existing at the site is rapidly disappearing throughout the City and the State, an opportunity exists to enhance this property and develop public awareness and appreciation for the natural beauty that is indigenous to this area. 0 Given the "stewardship" that Gayle McCandliss exhibited while on the Council; preservation and enhancement of this undisturbed open space in the center of the city would provide an excellent opportunity to support her beliefs. 0 This open space area may be existing habitat for sensitive and endangered plans and wildlife. 'The proposed Memorial Grove would be located at the northern end of the developed portion of Halecrest Park, with native California trees being utilized for the grove. Oaks, Torrey Pines and/or other acceptable trees which would provide an appropriate transition from developed park into natural open space are proposed. Located within the grove would be a dedication plaque identifying the grove and the nature trail as the "Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail". The grove would also contain benches that would be oriented towards the view of downtown San Diego, and an information kiosk for the nature trail. . [gllll rove¡ . 2 ~ 7~iÞ ..--..- Attachment D-3 Item ¿, Meeting Date 10/1/91 The kiosk would have a map to indicate the location of the trail, information ahout the nalive ""~.tal sage/chaparral plant community and the other planl types on the trail. Currently, there are unimproved trails that wind through the open space, providing an opportunity'to establish a trail network without having to clear or damage any of the existing plant masses. The types and quantities of trees and additional plantings, irrigation and supplemental improvements for this proposal could be developed to a \\ ide variety of intensity levels. However, the most effective approach would be towards a more simplistic level of development. This would minimize the impact on the existing open space, provide an appropriate level of improvements, and keep the costs within reason, The proposal by staff Tl'commends the development of a master plan for the "Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail", This Master Plan would be developed by the Department's Landscape Architect. This concept includes a trail network that would connect to the open space from the park, improve the pedestrian circulation in the park, and provide access to the grove. In addition, individual site furnishings, signage and related features would be designed or specified to be provided. The proposed trees and supplemental plant material should be indigenous to Southern California to maintain the native/drought tolerant character of the landscape. Furlhennore, it may provide opportunities to secure grant monies from the San Diego County Water Authority to assist in the design and signage of the grove and trail system. This proposal contains five phases. The current plan anticipates four (4) phases to complete the scope of work for the Memorial Grove only. The final phase would be for improvements to Halecrest Park that would improve circulation to the Memorial Grove, update the irrigation system and embellish the park itself. 0 PHASE 1: Procurement and installation of trees, irrigation, plaque and benches for the "Memorial Grove" at the identified location. To be accomplished in FY 1991-92. Cost estimated to he $7,500. 0 PHASE 2: Identification and layout of the trail system throughout the open space area. To be accomplished in FY ]992.93. Cost estimated to be $5,000 to $10,000. 0 PHASE 3: Installation of supplemental plant material and irrigation in the open space area. To be accomplished in FY 1993-94. Cost estimated to be $10,000 to $25,000. (1Iong.o.o] . 3 ~ ?-i? -._- ______n'..____n___ Attachment D-4 . . Item ¿- Meeting Date 10/1/91 0 PHASE 4: Procurement and installation of site features and signage within the open space, along the trail network. Construction of an improved traL (decomposed granite, mulch or concrete pathway). To be accomplished in FY 1993-94. Cost estimated to be $10,000 to $50,000. 0 PHASE S: Design and implementation of improvements to Halecrest Park. Concrete walkways to access the "Memorial Grove", tot-lot improvements, site furnishing upgrades to reflect what has been provided in the open space and irrigation improvements to reduce water consumption and increase efficiency. To be accomplished in FY 1994-95. Cost estimated to be $100,000 to $250,000. The initial instaUation (Phase I), would involve staff time to plant the grove of trees; modify and extend the existing irrigation in the park to sustain the trees; design, procure, and install the dedication plaque, and improvements to the lookout vista. . Costs for Phase 1 are estimated at $7,500. This amount includes staff time to prepare the design. In addition, the estimated cost is based upon the quality and size of the benches, the amount of supplemental irrigation required, the quantity and size of trees installed, and the scale and detail of the dedication plaque and mounting pedestal. The actual costs can vary greatly dependent on how extensive and elaborate the final approved design is, and whether City staff or independent contractors do the actual installation of the project. Attachment A is a graphic indicating the proposed location of the Gayle McCandliss Memorial Grove and Nature Trail, relative to Halecrest Park and the freeway. Attachment B is a list of additional project and cost information for each phase and a proposed time line. Potentially, the project could receive donations to help fund the project; as well as obtaining resources through community groups involved in raisjng funds and/or assistance with the actual installation of the project. The potential costs for the site improvements and components as identified in this report could range between $135,000 to $347,000. The variation in costs being directly related to the quantity and quality of the improvements being identified in this report. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds will be required in the amount of $7,500 from the unappropriated RCT fund balance. lIhogrove] 4 ~. 7-Lj~ ,-~- . ._~--_...._-.._._- ---- \ AttachmentD-5 .

To date, all of the property has been acquired, construction is anticipated to begin January 1994 and a partial payment has been made for the relocation of a tenant. However, the City still needs to pay approximately $26,000 in additional relocation benefits to two tenants. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept the report and approve the resolution appropriating $26,000 in CDBG funds to the South Chula Vista Library Project for relocation expenses. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: Staff had budgeted sufficient CDBG funds in the 1985-1986 CDBG program year to cover all relocation costs regarding the library project. However, in the 1993-94 CDBG budget some of the funds still needed for the library project relocation obligations were reallocated to other CDBG eligible projects, leaving the identified $26,000 shortage. At that time, staff believed the library project tenants relocation to be completed. For this reason, staff utilized these funds for another CDBG eligible project, the installation of public improvements located in Otay Town. Realizing that the tenant relocation has not been completed, staff needs to replenish the funds. This action is not a response to an increase in project relocation costs; it is simply a correction of a previous error in adjusting the existing CDBG budget. The recommended source of replacement funds is program income from the CHIP Housing Rehabilitation Program, which was funded in past years with CDBG funds. Agency Housing Set-Aside Funds are now used for the CHIP as they allow more flexibility and require less reporting. As program income in the form of repayments on housing rehabilitation loans originally made with CDBG funds aggregate, Council has been reappropriating the funds to other CDBG eligible projects. The library project is an appropriate use of such funds. fF) .-..--.. ...._.-~ ..".._~~.._---_.- Page 2, Item ~ Meeting Date 01/11/94 FISCAL IMPACT: The CHIP Program Income account has an approximate balance of $91,000. This account will be reduced by $26,000 and said funds will be transferred to CIP Account #632-6320 PR143, pursuant to Resolution No. 16933 dated December 15, 1992, for the South Chula Vista Library Project.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item í Meeting Date 1/11/94 ITEM TITLE: Resolution /75'5'7 Amending Schedule VI Section 10.52.340 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code relating to Parking Time Limited On Certain Streets - Shasta Street from Del Mar Avenue to Third Avenue SUBMITIED BY: Director of Public Works Ý REVIEWED BY: City Manager-J( Þðfj...~1 (4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoX) On January 5, 1993, a Trial Traffic Regulation establishing a (2) two-hour time limited parking restriction hetween the hours of 8 AM. - 6 P.M. for the 200 block of Shasta Street was implemented pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.12.030 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code. Signs affecting this restriction were installed on January 25, 1993. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt a resolution to permanently restrict parking along both sides of the 200 Block of Shasta Street from Third Avenue to Del Mar Avenue. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Safety Commission, at their meeting of August 12, 1993, voted 5-0-1 with Commissioner Braden absent to recommend to the City Council that the Council pass a resolution affirming the Trial Traffic Regulation and make the parking prohibition permanent. DISCUSSION: Pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.12.030 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, adopted by Ordinance No. 1625 on May 27, 1975, the City Engineer, on January 5,1993, determined that in the interest of minimizing traffic hazards and congestion and for the promotion of public safety, a Trial Traffic Regulation be established. Per the Chula Vista Municipal Code Section "10.52.330 Parking _ Time limited on certain streets - Driver obedience required. When signs are erected in each block giving notice thereof, no person shall park a vehicle for longer than the time specified thereon except Sundays and public holidays, as shown in Section 10.52.340 and Schedule VI, on any of the streets or portions of streets as described in said Schedule VI attached hereto and made a part of this chapter." 10.52.340 - PARKING TIME LIMITED ON CERTAIN STREETS - SCHEDULE VI. In accordance with Section 1 0.52.330, pursuant to resolution or ordinance of the city council and when appropriate signs have been erected giving notice thereof, no person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle for a period of time longer than noted in this schedule on any day except Sunday and public holidays upon any of the following streets or portions of streets: Name of Street Beginning at: Ending at: Side Shasta Street Del Mar Avenue Third Avenue 2-hour parking any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. except on Sundays and public holidays. 9-/ - -.-.-...---.,---- Page 2, ItemL Meeting Date 1/11/94 Said regulations became effective upon the posting of signs on January 25,1993 and has run for a trial period of eight (8) months from the date of such posting. A review of said installation, as required by Chula Vista Municipal Code, Section 10.12.030 has been made. In accordance with Section 10.12.030 of the code, City Council must now pass a resolution making this regulation pennanent or the Trial Traffic Regulation ceases to be effective. The City Engineer has determined the need to post time limited parking restrictions along both sides of Shasta Street in the area described above. This is in response to complaints from area businesses and residents in the area, that vehicles park for extended periods of time thereby monopolizing all of the on-street parking. As a means to provide a higher parking stall turnover rate for other business customers in the area and reduce the hardship to area businesses, and especially to local residents, it is determined that this area be restricted to "Two Hour Parking Any Time Between 8:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. Except On Sundays and Public Holidays". Area residents are able to park in excess of the parking restriction as long as they obtain from the Public Works Department and properly display the parking pennit. CONCLUSION: A review of the traffic conditions by staff and the Police Department show that the parking restriction on Shasta Street is operating effectively. Therefore, staff recommends that this parking restriction be made pennanent. All area residences and businesses have been notified of tonight's City Council meeting. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.

Chair Thomas asked how many spaces would be affected by the 2-hour parking limit and why staff recommended that it be a trial traffic regulation. Frank Rivera said approximately 20 spaces would be affected by the 2-hour parking limit. The reason for recommending a trial traffic regulation was to see if after installing a two-hour zone, the parking problem shifted to another street. Staff was concerned that a "domino" effect might occur, shifting the parking problems onto other area streets. If this happened, staff could remove the 2-hour zone and find another solution to the parking problem. This would be an eight month trial traffic regulation. Commissioner Koester asked if most vehicles parked on Shasta belonged to Sharp Rees-Stealy. Frank Rivera said that other business owners believe that most of the cars belong to Sharp Rees-Stealy since they are there for extended periods of time. Commissioner Koester questioned why employees prefered to park on Shasta Street. Ms. Carmen Arias, On-Site ManagllT, Sharp Res-Stealy, 525 Third Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910 said she received a letter from the City and was concerned because the letter made it appear that Sharp Rees-Stealy (SRS) was not complying with conditions set forth by the City. SRS, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. (morning hours) provided 52% of their parking spaces for their employees. She agreed with the study that indicated there was not a parking problem in the afternoon. All employees scheduled to work an afternoon/evening shift (2:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m.) park on site. She said that some vehicles were listed as belonging to SRS employees but mostly likely were not. Ms. Arias drove around the area and found that some cars did not belong SRS, but to other businesses including the court house. As a health care facility, SRS has a commitment to their patients. There were a large number of complaints from patients regarding lack of adequate parking. SRS must provide at least 77-100 spaces per hour to adequately provide parking for patients. Ms. Arais was concerned with the cost of enforcing the two hour parking and the possible domino effect it could have on the streets. SRS encouraged employees to park away from the facility, however, it was difficult to enforce. Some employees had been reported to be parking on lawns and blocking driveways of residents, but she did not know of any cars being towed away. No one had called Ms. Arias complaining of problems. Vice Chair Padilla referred to a letter received by SRS employees from management to park away from the facility and asked if it was a result of patient complaints. Ms. Arais said that intially all employees were asked to park on site, which created complaints from patients. At that time, SRS surveyed their staff and found that approximately 100 employees parked in the morning hours on-site with only 146 parking spaces available. There were a total of 1 51 parking spaces, but 5 were handicapped spaces. In the morning hours, SRS saw approximately 500 patients. She said on a monthly basis, SRS reminded employees not to park in residential areas, but it was difficult for employees because all the surrounding areas were residential. She said on the weekends, SRS allows parishioners of St. Rose of Lima Church to park in the upper part of the parking structure. Also, in the evening, near-by apartment residents and their guests used the parking facility. SRS was working with the community. SRS had looked at alternatives to try and find different parking solutions for employees. There was space available at Third Avenue and Alvarado Street which was presently '9 _ ?

A.lberta Hartung, 1545 Malta, Chu/a Vista, CA 91911, was interested in the item because her father lived on Shasta Street at Del Mar Avenue. She felt the trial traffic regulation was working and allowed residents to park on the street, but saw there was a problem being created on Del Mar Avenue. Ms. Hartung appealed to the Commission for assistance in receiving residential parking permits. Her father had alzheimer's disease and she, her brother, and a professional nurse took care of her father and needed residential parking permits.

Staff is submitting this report in response to Mr. Schnaubelt's inquiry as directed by Council. RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept this report. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: Mr. Schnaubelt originally contacted the City ofChula Vista regarding his sewer service charges in a letter to the Public Works Department dated June I, 1993 (Attachment I). In this letter, he stated that this property was in bankruptcy and that he couldn't pay the sewer service charges. He protested the rate of increase of these charges between Fiscal Years 1989-90 and 1992-93 and requested that the City reduce his fees to the 1988-90 level. Mr. Schnaubelt's property is located in the Montgomery area of Chula Vista. Prior to Fiscal Year 1992-93, Montgomery property owners were being charged at a rate lower than the rest of Chula Vista. Since the Montgomery area is being provided with the same level of service as the rest of Chula Vista, Montgomery sewer service rates were gradually brought into parity with the rest of the City. These rate increases were approved by Council in Resolution 16705 dated 6/30/92 and Resolution 16187 dated 6/9/91. Prior to Fiscal Year 1991-92, commercial facilities were charged for sewer service on the basis of estimated wastewater discharge calculated at the time of building permit issuance. This charge may not have been equitable, since it did not necessarily reflect businesses' actual water consumption and wastewater discharge. Therefore, beginning with Fiscal Year 1991-92, commercial facilities were charged on the basis of water consumption in both the Montgomery area and in the rest of Chula Vista. The commercial sewer service charge in the Montgomery area was based on the previous year's consumption (April to April). ItJ-j -.-- ....--.-----...-- Page 2, Item /¿;J Meeting Date 1/11/94 In the staff response to Mr. Schnaubelt dated July 16, 1993, (Attachment 2), the new billing methodology was explained. Also, since the major wastewater discharger in the shopping center is a laundromat, ten other Southern California agencies were surveyed regarding the rates charged to laundromats and that information was provided to Mr. Schnaubelt. Out of the six agencies with charges based on water usage, only La Mesa's rate was lower than Chula Vista's low strength commercial sewer service rate of $1.47 per 100 cubic feet (RCF) of water consumption. The results of this survey are shown on Table 2 of the letter to Mr. Schnaubelt. We also found that APN 618-110~31-00 was correctly charged for sewer service based on water consumption on Sweetwater Authority water account 700-2540-0, but was incorrectly charged on accounts 700-2500-2 (an irrigation meter) and 701-6860-2 (for an adjacent property). Therefore, a tax adjustment of $347.31 was submitted to the County for his Fiscal Year 1992-93 tax bill. We informed Mr. Schnaubelt that we would process a refund for overpayment of $268.66 for Fiscal Year 1991-92 after we received evidence from him that his taxes had been paid. We have not received this evidence and this refund has not been sent. The correct sewer billing on water account 700-2540-2 for Fiscal Year 1992~93 was $5,215.77 based on consumption of 3409 HCF of water between April 1991 and April 1992. This charge was based on the sewer service rate of $1.47 per HCF and the storm drain rate of $0.06 per HCF. These rates stayed the same for Fiscal Year 1993-94. However, the water usage on Account 700-2540-2 increased to 4479 HCF during the period of April 1992 to April 1993. Based upon this consumption, the proper sewer service charges and storm drain fees for Parcel 618-110-31-00 during FY 1993-94 are $6,852.87 as indicated on Mr. Schnaubelt's tax bill. Mr. Schnaubelt's sewer service charges are similar to all the other businesses in Chula Vista paying sewer service charges, and it is recommended that no adjustments or refunds be made for APN 618-110-31-00 without considering a general rate change. It should be noted that the City's adopted sewer rate plan approved by the State requires that each user of the sewer system pay a fair share based on the volume of sewage generated and its strength.

Your annual increases are uncon- scionable. There's no way to pay them. They haven't been paid. The property taxes, including your fees. are in arrears over $68,000. The property has been in default on a second trust deed, now cured, and in Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year. The property has also been in default on the first trust deed for two years, now cured except $13,000 in late fees. In seven years the property has been 100% occupied for only two months. Two ten years leases were lost four years ago because the City of Chula Vista assessed an ice cream parlor $7,000 for traffic signalization, and a pizza parlor $5,000. Both fees were waived by the city manager after it was too late and the tenants w~re lost. Presumably the incredible sewer fees are because of the laundromat located on the property. The way our leases are drawn we cannot pass on the sewer charges to the laundromat which is obligated to pay only a square foot prorata share of the property tax bill. The laundromat could not pay the charge anyway. Your most recent one year charge of $5,563 is more than 7 years profit on a $600,000 cash investment in this commercial center, and is more than the laundromat's wages and profits combined for the last 5 years. You can verify this by inspecting the accounting records and tax returns for the center and Harborside Laundromat. The Tax Assessor has reduced the property taxes by $6,600 which savings has almost completely been wiped out by your charges. One meter is for landscaping only and should not be assessed for sewer. I'm askinq you to reduce your fees to their 1988-90 level. Mission Viejo's commercial rate for sewer is a maximum of $18.30 per month. Perhaps you can learn from its pro-business stance. ~~;~~/ /cJ~;J red schn~ubeí?, Managing Partner ...." ~H·_._ ~_._-~--,---~,_.- - /f 777lV--I/YbA.)T 2- , . ~ ~ I.?- ~ l't_ :: ~~~~ - - -- - -:..-:..~ CllY OF CHULA VISTA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS July 16, 1993 ENGINEERING DIVISION File: KY-090 Fred Schnaubelt 2728 Adams Avenue San Diego, CA 92116 REVIEW OF SEWER SERVICE CHARGES FOR 1010-1016 BROADWAY . On June 14, 1993, we responded to your June 1, 1993 letter and informed you that we would review the sewer service charges assessed to your commercial complex located at 1010-1016 Broadway in Chula Vista (APN 618-110-31-00). We hereby provide you with the results of our investigation. The enclosed table shows the sewer charge calculations for your property for the last four years. The charges in FY 1989-90 and 1990-91 were based on the rates of $70.00 and $100.20 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) respectively. The number of EDUs was calculated at 22.5 (30 washers X 0.75 EDUs per washer). In FY 1991-92 we changed our commercial sewer service billing for the Montgomery area of Chula Vista from the EDU approach to a method based on actual water consumption for the previous fiscal year. Also, in order to comply with State requirements, the City adopted a sewer service rate based on waste water strength (Resolution 16187). In order to implement this new method, we classified all the commercial and industrial users in the City as generating low, medium or high strength waste water. We then calculated their sewer service charge based on their average water consumption. The average water consumption and the rates used for your two water accounts are shown in the table. Your shopping center was charged at the lowest commercial rate. During the review of your sewer service charges we confirmed that the meter for account 700- 2500-2 was indeed used for itTigation only and should not have been charged for sewer service. We also discovered that 1011 Broadway (water account 701-6860-2) was coded with the Assessor's Parcel Number of your property and the sewer service charge for that address was erroneously included in your property tax bill for FY 1991-92 and FY 1992-93. The total aIIlount you were overcharged for these accounts was.$268.66 for FY1991-92 and $347.31 for FY1992-93 as shown on Table I (enclosed). The County of San Diego Property Tax Division informed us that your taxes have not yet been paid for FY 1992-93. We will therefore submit a tax adjustment for $347.31 to the County. Our Finance Department will process a refund of the $268.66 for FY 1991-92 after we receive evidence from you that your taxes have been paid for that year. Revenues from the sewer service charges are used to pay City costs for the collection, treatment and disposal of sewage. Wastewater treatment and disposal is provided to Chula Vista by the )¿J~i "'~~.' _.. ............... ..,.........<'........-"',.._.,..,.."-...t:.~....._. ------- . " Fred Schnaubelt 2 July 16, 1993 San Diego Metropolitan Sewerage System (Metro). Due to the high expense of upgrading the Metro facilities and treatment processes in accordance with State and federal requirements, the costs to all Metro member agencies have increased rapidly. Nevertheless, Chula Vista has been able to maintain one of the lowest sewer service rates in the region. The City's strategy to fund its share of the Metro upgrade has been to implement gradual yearly rate increases instead of sporadic steep increases. This enables us to maintain adequate reserves and reasonable sewer service rates. Enclosed for your information is a table showing the rates used by other agencies in the San Diego area for laundromats (Table 2). . In your letter you refer to the sewer service rates for commercial facilities used in Mission Viejo and indicate that their maximum commercial charge is $18.30 per month. Gayle Smith of the Santa Margarita Water District informed us that the rate you mentioned is just the base rate. The total charge is obtained by multiplying the base by a factor (or multiplier). This multiplier is obtained by dividing the average water consumption in gallons per day (GPD) by 280. Using their fee structure, the sewer service charges for your facility for FY 1992-93 would have been $5,490.00, as shown on Table 2. This is slightly higher than our revised charges of $5,215.77. While it is not possible, under the Municipal Code, to reduce the sewer service charges as requested, we hope the information provided herein will help you to understand the recent rate increases and modifications in our methods of assessing sewer charges. We have enclosed the information you verbally requested on laundromat recycling.

Pursuant to the Siroonian Settlement Agreement ("Agreement") (Attachment "A"), the City agreed to consider an amendment to Title 19 of the Municipal Code to allow '''the lien sale of impounded vehicles' to occur in an I~P (General Industrial-Precise Plan) designated zone subject to securing a conditional use/special pennit". 2. City staff prepared a draft Code amendment which would allow lien sale of impounded automobiles as a conditional use in the Industrial - Precise Plan (I~P) zone. This proposed amendment was reviewed by the Planning Commission, but at their direction, was revised and expanded. The expanded definition encompasses auctions involving automobiles, large heavy equipment items, and other similar items. 3. An Initial Study, IS-93-24, of possible adverse environmental impacts of the project has been conducted by the Environmental Review Coordinator (ERe). The ERC concluded that there would be no significant environmental effects and recommends that the Negative Declaration, and addendum attached thereto, be adopted. RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the ordinance approving additions to and amendments of portions of Title 19 of the Municipal Code to allow auctions, subject to approval of a conditional use pennit in the I-P (General Industrial-Precise Plan) Zone. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On June 9, 1993, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed Code amendment, and continued this matter to allow consideration of an expanded definition of "auctions." On October 27, 1993, the )J-j ------- Page 2, Item )) Meeting Date 1/11/94 Planning Commission voted 6-1 recommending that Council enact the additions and amendments in accordance with Resolution PCA~93-01. At its May 10, 1993 meeting, the Resource Conservation Commission voted 4-2 to deny Negative Declaration IS-93-24, based on what they believed to be the negative image presented by this type of use. On October 25, 1993, the Resource Conservation Commission considered the addendum to IS-93-24 and revisited its May 10, 1993 action but chose to take no further action at that time. BACKGROUND: Siroonian Agreement The Siroonian Agreement was executed on November 25, 1992 as an out-of-court settlement resulting from litigation brought about by several property owners in the vicinity of Energy Way. The litigation was related to the Otay Valley Assessment District and Otay Valley Road improvements. One provision of the Agreement required that the City process the subject text amendment for '''the lien sale of impounded vehicles' to occur in an I-P (General Industrial-Precise Plan) designated zone subject to securing a conditional use/special permit". The particular business that was a party to the Agreement that prompted the text amendment is A to Z Metro Towing (Metro), an impound yard where the lien sale of such autos takes place. A text amendment and special land use permit were needed to bring this use and property into conformance with City regulations. The City is not committed to approving the text amendment by the agreement, only to processing it. Item II.C, Condition Precedent No.1, on page 6 of the Settlement states: "Condition Precedent No.1. Initiation of Lien Sale Zone Text Change Processing. City shall commence, within 20 days of the effective date of this Agreement, an initial study for the Lien Sale Zone Text Change, which shall be deemed to be the initiation of the process to accomplish a Lien Sale Zone Text Change. Nothing herein contractually commits the City to implement the Lien Sale Zone Text Change. " Present Regulations on Auctions and Automobile Auctions At present, auctions, as discussed in this report, are not addressed in the Zoning Ordinance. The only types of auctions addressed are "Auction Rooms" and "Livestock Auctions." These are not related to the subject use and are allowed in zoning districts other than industrial. Therefore, staff concluded that the creation of a new category of land use called "auction" is needed, especially given the circumstances along Energy Way. //-~ .__......__ . '_P" ·o·_.._____._______._. Page 3, Item /1 Meeting Date 1/11/94 An understanding of how "auctions" are currently treated under the Zoning Ordinance is important, however. At present, auto auctions are treated as used car sales, which is a prohibited use in the I (General Industrial) Zone. An auto auction (used car sales) would, however, be permitted in the I-L (Limited Industrial) Zones if it were accessory to the sale of new automobiles. Likewise, in the C- T (Thoroughfare Commercial) Zone, if it were the primary use or associated with a use other than the sale of new automobiles, a conditional use permit would be required. The C-T and I-L zones are the only two zones where used car sales can take place. Treating auctions as used car sales could prove problematic, since auctions can be far different than traditional car sales and the criteria for automobile sales facilities (Section 19.58.070) provides for off street parking equal to one-tenth of the car storage capacity. This parking ratio is inadequate for auctions because such uses, which usually occur at specified intervals and not on a daily basis, can attract hundreds of people to one event, as opposed to the traditional car lot where generally only a few people browse at their leisure. If the provisions listed in the draft City Council Ordinance are adopted, auctions would be treated separately from used car sales and each applicant would have to justify the amount of parking with a parking analysis. DISCUSSION: ProDosed Code Amendment The original proposed Code amendment would have allowed the lien sale by auction of automobiles as a conditional use in the I-P Zone, as described in the Siroonian Agreement, and also would establish development and operational standards for this use. The Planning Commission reviewed this initial proposal at a public hearing held on June 9, 1993. At that time, the Planning Commission received testimony and correspondence from Attorney Rebecca Michael, representing Jim and June McCormack, who own property at 880 Energy Way, some of which is used for auto dismantling and some for vehicle storage. Ms. Michael requested that the Planning Commission consider an expanded definition of "auction," which would include sale of vehicles, heavy machinery and equipment. She requested this because the McCormack's property was used as an auction yard for many years and they wish to again lease it to an auction company. The use of the McCormack's property as an auction yard was suspended when the previous user vacated the property. At present, the portion not being used as an auto dismantling yard is being used for auto storage. To date, no other auction company has leased the property because of the pending text amendment. //-3 . "--_..,. - "-_._,._.._~~_.._-" Page 4, Item J/ Meeting Date 1/11/94 Although Metro Towing auctions automobiles, as would a potential user of the McCormack property, they differ in that Metro Towing auctions impounded automobiles whereas the other types do not. The selling or auctioning of impounded autos is strictly controlled by various State codes, whereas any other type of auction is not, because the company is not State licensed to do impounding or auctioning of impounded automobiles. Auction companies not involved in impounding automobiles or in selling impounded automobiles can, however, auction automobiles, for example, from a used car dealer who is liquidating his stock because he is going out of business. For these reasons, Ms. Michael requested that the definition be broadened to include more types of auctions. For all practical purposes, as far as the Zoning Code is concerned, both types of operations are selling used cars, which is not a permitted use in the I-P Zone (see the previous section under "Present Regulations on Auctions and Automobile Auctions" for a discussion on how auctions are handled at present). Based on this, the Planning Commission continued the hearing and directed staff to return with alternative language which would include an expanded definition of auctions. Staff returned to the Commission with the current language on October 27, 1993. At that meeting, the Planning Commission received another letter from Ms. Michael outlining three other issues of concern to her clients (Attaclunent "B"). Rather than bringing this project back to the Planning Commission by once again continuing the item, the Planning Commission adopted staff's recommendation, but directed staff to consult with Ms. Michael in an attempt to resolve the issues brought up in her letter prior to consideration of the matter by the Council. The three issues brought up in the 10/27/93 letter deal with: 1. Paving requirements (Section 19.58.055 of the draft ordinance); 2. The requirement for an acoustical study if outdoor loudspeakers will be used for auctioning (Section 19.58.055); and 3. Parking requirements (Section 19.62.050 of the draft ordinance). With regard to the paving requirements, the proposed Code amendment would require that "all areas shall be properly paved, striped, and improved to City standards, and screened to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the Director of Planning." Ms. Michael expressed a concern that this requirement would result in excessive costs associated with paving both vehicle storage areas and parking areas. Staff's response is that the Code requirement for paving applies to all uses and that auctions are not being singled out. It should be further noted that the City's paving standard (see Attaclunent "C") does provide flexibility for paving treatments other than asphalt for temporary uses. However, in response to the concerns raised by Ms. Michael, staff J/~i ..--...---..- Page 5, Item /J Meeting Date 1/11/94 proposes to evaluate the paving requirement for Energy Way through the mechanism of the precise plan modifying district (for further discussion on the paving issue, please see the section of this report titled "Separation of Paving Issue"). In response to Ms. Michael's second concern regarding the requirement for a noise study if loud speakers are used at an auction, based on further explanation by staff that this provision implements the existing noise standards in the Municipal Code, Ms. Michael withdrew her objections to this item at the hearing. In response to Ms. Michael's third concern, the proposed parking ratio has been revised to allow more latitude for the applicant and the approving authority to agree on an appropriate parking ratio during review of a particular project. ANALYSIS: Application Under I-P Zoning It should be noted that this text amendment would apply City-wide and not just in a redevelopment area. A property owner could apply for a conditional use pennit for auctioning if the text amendment is approved regardless of where the property is located in the City of Chula Vista as long as it is zoned I-P. Attachment "D" consists of a map showing the property in Chula Vista with I-P zoning. As can be seen, it is largely limited to the Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Area. There is also some in the Bayfront area, but his will be changed to another zone as part of the revision of the Bayfront Plan. Generally, when a proposed project is located in a Redevelopment Area, the CUP would be processed in the fonn of a "Special Land Use Pennit" (special use pennit) through the Project Area Committee and Redevelopment Agency, not the Planning Commission, and, if appealed, City Council. This depends on the procedural provisions of the applicable redevelopment area plan. In the case of Energy Way uses, including A to Z Metro Towing, the provisions of the Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Area are applicable. These provisions require processing a special use pennit through the Otay Valley Road Project Area Committee/Redevelopment Agency, instead of through the Planning Commission/City Council. The Siroonian Agreement refers to I~P zoning, General Industrial with the Precise Plan modifying district applied. Therefore, the provisions of Chapter 19.46 "I - General Industrial" Zone are applicable, and the provisions of Chapter 19.56 "Modifying Districts" also apply. The purpose of the P - Precise Plan Modifying District, as stated in Section 19.56.040 is: "to allow diversification in the spatial relationship of land uses, density, buildings, structures, landscaping and open spaces, as well as design review of architecture and signs through the adoption of specific conditions of approval for development of property J) -,5'" --- Page 6, Item /J Meeting Date 1/11/94 in the city. Within the boundaries of the P district, the location, height, size and setbacks of buildings or structures, open spaces, signs and densities indicated on the precise plan shall take precedence over the otherwise applicable regulations of the underlying zone". The "P" modifier provides the flexibility to customize a proposed development to its site. This is desirable, especially given the potential traffic, parking and aesthetic impacts that could result from the use. Any application for the subject use, because of the "P" modifier, would be required to obtain design review approval prior to, and in addition to, the conditional use permit. SeDaration of Paving Issue It is staff's opinion that the issue of the paving requirement should be separated from the issue of auctions as a land use. The paving requirement applies universally to all uses in the City and not only to auctions, auto dismantIers or other industrial uses located along Energy Way. After meeting with Ms. Michael and among itself, staff concluded that the issue of paving should be addressed, but separate from the issue of auctions as a land use. Staff has initiated a precise plan modification for Energy Way specifically addressing the paving issue. Therefore, any review of the paving standards should not delay adoption of the proposed text amendment as it will be addressed separately. As noted above, the wording in the draft ordinance is generic enough to allow flexibility in the application of the paving standard if it changes. ResDonse to Ouestions Raised bv Council on December 14. 1993 At its meeting of December 14, 1993, Council raised two questions in relation to this text amendment. These questions are: 1. Why is a Conditional Use Permit required at all for auctions? ResDonse: Auctions can vary in scope and impact from being small-scale events with a few invited guests to bid for selected, specialized and/or high-priced merchandise such as collectors items, to large scale operations where hundreds of people gather to bid on a more diverse grouping of items. Because of this disparity, some type of review is necessary to ensure that potential negative impacts related to such issues as compatibility with adjacent land uses, parking, access, aesthetics, etc. are adequately addressed. If auctions were a permitted use, no such in-depth review would take place. 2. Are there other uses that the City may want to allow with a conditional use permit or as a matter of right that the current Code does not allow in an industrial zone? ResDonse: At present the Planning Department is working with a City Council-appointed task force reviewing all conditional uses and will eventually bring to Council information //-¿, .~__._H Page 7, Item II Meeting Date 1/11/94 on which uses should be permitted by right, which should be approved by the Zoning Administrator, which should be approved by the Planning Commission and which by the City Council. The hearing process on this project should begin in approximately four months. As part of this study, auctions, as well as other industrial uses, will be evaluated or re-evaluated for their application in other zoning districts vs. their limitation to the I (General Industrial) Zone. RCC Recommendation and Staff Support As noted earlier in this report, the Resource Conservation Commission voted 4-2 to deny Negative Declaration IS-93-24, based on what they believed to be the negative image presented by this type of use. In response to this recommendation, staff is recommending approval of the text amendment for several reasons, as outlined below: 1. Auctions have existed for a number of years along Energy Way with no apparent negative land use impacts. 2. Staff is satisfied that auctions can cause fewer impacts than other uses in the vicinity (auto dismantling and wrecking, landfill operations, other heavy industrial uses, etc.), especially if the proposed Code amendment is adopted. 3. Auctions serve an important and useful function if their operations are properly controlled. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.

Chair Kracha stated tha,t without having the criteria, for the establishment of an historica,l site, he could not see taking action on this request, a.nd asked tha,t staff bring the item back after providing members with the relevant criteria. Commissioner Hall a,dded that she had concerns regarding the chimney and porch additions and their impact upon the character of the house; Kracha concurred, adding that he was also concerned about the siding. Senior Planner Patrick Crowley provided background on the criteria used by various juridictions to evaluate historic sites. Commissioner Ghougassian a,sked wha,t benefits the owner would obtain by an historic register listing; Mr. Crowley stated tha,t benefits vary by jurisdiction, a.nd that to date, any benefits in Chula Vista would simply be psychic in nature. -Commissioner Myers arrived at 6: 10 p.m.- Commissioners concurred that they had insufficient information with which to evaluate the proposal, and directed staff to forward relevant information to members for the next meeting.

MSUC (Ghougassian/Myers) (6-0) to accept Negative Declaration 18-93-13, with the recommendation that staff include the following issues: handicapped access, access to adjacent businesses, replacement of landscaping, and undergrounding of utiJities. 3. Review of Negative Declaration 18-93-24 - Zoninl! Text Amendment for Automobile Auctions in the IP zone Associate Planner Reid reviewed the proposed zoning text changes to allow automobile auctions as a conditional use in the IP zone and related 18-93-24. She noted that each application would be considered through the conditional use permit process on an individual basis. Commissioners expressed concerns about the conditional use permit process in general, stating that they are seldom monitored after issuance; there was also concurrance that CUPs should generally be limited in time to allow for periodic performance review. Commissioner Hall stated that this type of use should not be permitted near residential areas; discussion ensued on potential areas (zoned IP) in which this use might be permitted. Ms. Reid provided a copy of the General Plan for members to review, but stated that she did not have a zoning map available which would locate the precise areas zoned IP. Chair Kracha stated that the text amendment should include a requirement that subject CUPs be automatically reviewed after one year; Hall expressed strong concerns regarding the negative effects of this type of business on the areas in which they are located. Commissioner McNair agreed with this, and also voiced concerns regarding the image presented by car auctions; she stated that she saw no positive reason to attract this type of business. MSC (Hall/Myers) (4-2, Ghougassian, Hall" McNair, Myers in favor; Burrascano, Kracha against) to deny Negative Declaration 18-93-24, based on the negative image presented by this use. 4. Review of Nel!ative Declaration 18-93-31 - Floor Area Ration (FAR) Amendment Associate Planner Reid reviewed the proposed zoning text amendment related to changes in City floor area ratio requirements for single family homes. Commissioners generally expressed mixed feeJings; Kracha, McNair, and Ghougassian discussed the benefits to homeowners in being able to expand existing homes rather than having to purchase new homes when more living space is needed or desired. However, the potential for a more dense neighborhood character was of concern. Member Hall felt that the proposed FAR increase would promote a cramped feeling within residential neighborhoods, stating that there is a need to preserve open spaces. 8he agreed, however, with the exemption for patio covers. ;/--.22 "---- ----..-..------ ---- ._~---_.._. .------.--- . . . \ \ RESOURCE CONSERVATION COMMISSION -3- MAY 10. 1993 -Commissioner McNair left the meeting at 7:30 p.m.- MSF (Ghougassian/Burrascano) (3-2, Burrascano, Kracha, Ghougassian in favor; Hall, Myers against) to accept Negative Declaration IS-93-31.

CaITrans is now prepared to enter into a cooperative agreement with the City to encumber funds to design and construct the proposed project. The construction of the project is scheduled to commence in July 1994. The project report is the backbone for the cooperative agreement in determining work to be done, design specifications, and construction and associated project costs. RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution and authorize the Mayor to execute said agreement. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: On August 24, 1993, City Council approved Resolution 17227 expressing intention and willingness to share equally the cost for the Otay Valley Road and I-80S interchange signals improvement. CaITrans has identified the interchange signalization is as a safety improvement project and has agreed to share its cost. The project estimated total cost is $669,000 of which, the City share is half of that or $334,500. Elements of the proposed project are (1) traffic signals at both northbound and southbound I-80S ramps, (2) widening of the northbound and southbound off ramps, (3) widening of Otay Valley Road at the interchange by 3 feet on each side of the roadway, and (4) new curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the south side of Otay Valley Road within CaITrans right-of-way. According to CalTrans, construction of the I-80S and Otay Valley Road ramp intersection signals are scheduled to commence around July, 1994. At a previous Council meeting, the Council asked whether the County was contributing toward the cost of constructing the interchange traffic signal as a result of new traffic generated by the proposed landfill project. The fund sources for the interchange traffic signal noted above do not include any contribution from the County. We have researched our files on this particular project and have determined that, from the very beginning of the project, it has been considered to be fully funded by the City or the costs were to be shared with Caltrans. /:< - J ..--- ~~-- -.-._--,....._,_.. Page 2, Item ) d... Meeting Date 1/11/94 FISCAL IMPACT: The City's share of $334,500 is derived from the following fund accounts : a) Otay Valley Road Assessment District 90-2 ($100,000), b) Traffic Signal Fees ($145,200), and c) Redevelopment Agency Fund ($89,300). Funds are available in Project No. TF220 (Traffic Signal Improvements -I-80S and Otay Valley Road). Under this agreement the total City share of the project is estimated to be $334,500 and is not to exceed $367,000 plus City staff time.

Several times in the past, I have brought up to representatives of the City that a welcome/activity sign board could be a very beneficial instrument for the City and our school district. Since we have a choice of ground on the southwest side of the freeway where a sign board could be constructed and would be visible from "H" Street and Interstate 805 in both directions, I feel that this would be an issue worth pursuing.
