COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT ITEM TITLE: Item~ Meeting Date 7/20/99 Resolution /9ftf}of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista, California, acting in its capacity as the legislative body of Community Facilities District No. 97-1 (Open Space Maintenance District [Otay Ranch SPA One, Villages 1 & 5]) ordering certain modifications to the boundaries of Zone B of CFD 97-1 DirectorofPublicWor~ ~ CityManag~ ~ ~\ CFD 97 -I was formed to fund the perpetual maintenance oflandscaping within the right of way and City owned slopes within Otay Ranch SPA 1. Separate maintenance zones were established over the ownership ofthe two Developers (McMillin Otay Ranch and the Otay Ranch Company) to account for the fact that the major slopes within the McMillin Otay Ranch are maintained by the Home Owner's Association while CFD 97-1 will fund the maintenance ofthe slopes within the Otay Ranch Company's ownership. These two Developers have subsequently modified their ownership on a common boundary ("the Land Swap"). Tonight's action will mirror these changes within the CFD. SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No.K.) RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolution ordering certain changes and modifications CFD 97-1 BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: CFD 97 -1 was formed September 15, 1998, pursuant to the provisions of the "Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982". The district contains two zones: Zone A includes all SPA I property and both developers, Zone B is composed of all SPA I property except the McMillin Otay Ranch (see Exhibit A). Zone A maintains all major channels, medians, parkways and public pedestrian paths. Zone B primarily maintains the slopes of the major roads within the Otay Ranch ownership. As stated above, the Home Owner's Association maintains the slopes along major streets within the McMillin Otay Ranch. The Zone B Boundarv Change The City approved a Lot Line Adjustment in Village One ofthe Otay Ranch project which allowed the Otay Ranch Company and McMillin Otay Ranch to perform the land swap at their common boundary (see Exhibit B). The Otay Ranch Company will develop Neighborhoods 12, 13, and 14 and Otay Ranch McMillin will control the development of Neighborhood 12E. Both developers have requested that the City process the proposed change to Zone B to make it consistent with the land swap. The new boundaries of Zone B will exclude that piece of land received by McMillin and will incorporate the property received by the Otay Ranch Company (see Exhibit C). This change is consistent with and conforms to the intent of both developers and the City. The total ~-/ Page 2, Item (;0 Meeting Date 7/20/99 maximum tax of the zone remains unchanged. Bond Counsel (Brown, Diven, Hessell & Brewer) has recommended that since the special taxes are not increasing that a public hearing is not necessary. Therefore, by adopting the proposed resolution, Council will be approving the proposed change to the boundaries of Zone B. FISCAL IMPACT: All costs associated with the proposed change in the Zone B boundaries of the district are being borne by both developers. There is no impact to the General Fund.

(4/5ths Vote: Yes_No-X.) This agreement is entered into between the Spring Valley Sanitation District (District) of the County of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista (City) to provide the City with adequate capacity and equitable allocation for the maintenance, operation and capital replacement costs for the Frisbie Trunk of the Spring Valley Sanitation System until the year 2050. The agreement will reser ve sewer capacity rights of two million gallons per day for the City of Chula Vista in the Frisbie Trunk to provide sewer service s for the existing and future developments in the surrounding tributary areas. RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolution approving agreement between the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego Spring Valley Sanitation District for purchasing capacity rights and transporting wastewater in the Frisbie Trunk System and authorizing the Mayor to execute said agreement. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable. DISCUSSION: The Spring Valley Sanitation District owns and maintains the Central Avenue sewer, Frisbie sewer and Bonita Meadows Lane sewer (hereinafter referred to as the "Frisbie Trunk") from the intersection of Bonita Meadows Lane and Proctor Valley Road to the intersection of Bonita Road and Central Avenue. The Frisbie Trunk is depicted in Exhibit A of the attached Agreement. Chu1a Vista owns and maintains a sewer line in Proctor Valley Road which connects to District's Frisbie Trunk, which in turn connects to District's Spring Valley Sewer Outfall. On May 20, 1997, the Spring Valley Sanitation District, the City of San of Diego and the City of Chu1a Vista executed the "Agreement Between the City of Chula Vista and the Spring Valley Sanitation District for the Transportation of Wastewater in the Spring Valley Joint System" wherein provisions were made for the discharge into the San Diego Metropolitan Sewerage System of sewage originating within the designated areas of Chu1a Vista. Pursuant to the "Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement Between the City of San Diego and Participating Agencies in the Metropolitan Sewerage System" approved on May 18, 1998, and expiring on December 31, 2050, the District has the right to discharge up to 10.978 and Chu1a Vista has the right to discharge up to 19.843 million gallons per day of sewage into the Metropolitan System. On February 13, 1996, Chu1a Vista adopted Council Policy No. 570-02, a copy of which is labeled as Exhibit B in the attached agreement, which establishes conditions for 7-/ Page 2, Item 7 Meeting Date 7/20/99 connections to Chula Vista sanitary sewers by properties not within the incorporated limits of Chula Vista. Chula Vista and the District deem it mutually desirable and advantageous for the District to allow Chu1a Vista to discharge sewage into District's Frisbie Trunk and for Chu1a Vista to allow the District to discharge sewage into Chu1a Vista's Proctor Valley Trunk Sewer under the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the attached agreement and in accordance with the terms of the existing agreements and policy described above. The purpose of this agreement is to establish the rights, privileges and duties of the parties concerning the use of the District's Frisbie Trunk by Chu1a Vista, the construction and maintenance of co nnections to said trunk by Chu1a Vista, specify the areas within the City of Chu1a Vista to be served by the District's Frisbie Trunk, set standards governing waste discharges and sewage flow, establish fees and charges and the determining methods used in ascertaining the amount of sewage discharged into the District's Frisbie Trunk. During a TV-inspection of the Central Avenue sewer in February 1999, it was reported that there are sags in the Central A venue sewer line. It was further determined that these sags will reduce the capacity and cause blockages in the Central A venue sewer. Since the repair of these sags is only needed to accommodate the additional sewer capacity requested by Chu1a Vista, Engineering Staff agreed to recommend payment of $100,000 to the District toward the repair of the line. This agreement is scheduled to be approved by the County Board of Supervisors on July 21, 1999. FISCAL IMPACT: During fiscal year 2000/2001, the City of Chula Vista will pay the District a one time payment of $100,000 from the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve fund (No. 293(0), toward repairing the sags in Central Avenue sewer trunk. The City of Chu1a Vista will continue to pay Metro Service charges, and maintenance and operation charges to the Spring Valley Sanitation District in accordance with the "Agreement between the City of Chu1a Vista and the Spring Valley Sanitation District for the Transportation of Wastewater in the Spring Valley Joint System". The City of Chu1a Vista will pay to the District a proportionate share for the future capital replacement costs of the Frisbie Trunk based on the amount of sewage discharged into District's Frisbie Trunk from Chu1a Vista's connections to the total amount of sewage discharged from District's Frisbie Trunk into the Spring Valley Sewer Outfall at the time when said capital replacements are needed. If said share is calculated to be 1 ess than 67.8 % (capacity ratio), it is agreed that the District shall use 67.8 % to calculate the amount of Chula Vista's share.

Ordinance J793 of the City of Chula Vista amending Section 19.58.147 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code relating to required standards for large family day care homes. SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning and BUN\ ~! REVIEWED BY: City Manager:w.. \uIk ~\ The Planning and Building Department IJas ;;ested by the Economic Development Commission in July 1998, to reevaluate the Large Family Day Care Homes ordinance in anticipation of a critical surge in demand resulting from the Welfare Reform Legislation. The Needs Assessment Committee of the San Diego County Child Care Planning Council has identified the City of Chu1a Vista as a "high needs community" in the South Bay area. The biggest need identified was care for infants and after school age children. (4/5ths Vote: Yes_NolO As a result of meetings with the Child Care Task Force, the Planning Division has accumulated a great deal of data regarding large family day care facilities. Additionally, since the initial Task Force meeting, the Planning Division staff has been in contact with Dana Lovelace, Child Care Advocate for the State of California, Department of Social Services. As a result of our research and input from the State, we are recommending that the current process and requirements be modified. The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that, as a procedural amendment, the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the General Rille exemption section 15061 (b )(3). RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the attached ordinance modifying the existing large family day care provisions (Section 19.58.147) of the Municipal Code. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Child Care Commission reviewed the proposal on December 1, 1998 and was supportive of the changes to the ordinance proposed by staff as well as a reduction in fees and process streamlining. The Chairperson of the Commission has also submitted a letter expressing her general concerns which is included as Attachment 3. g>j c'> Page 2, Item No: <:: Meeting Date: 7/20/99 The Planning Commission considered this proposal on April 14, 1999 and voted 7-0 to approve a Resolution recommending that the City Council approve the amendment in accordance with the draft City Council Ordinance No. . In addition to adopting the Resolution, the Planning Commission made the following recommendations which have been incorporated into the attached ordinance: 1. Add a condition "I": "a business license will be obtained concurrently with the use permit." 2. Add a condition "J": "at the City's discretion, an annual review of the permit may be done to determine compliance with State and City requirements and the permits conditions of approval." Additionally, the Commission also expressed concern that with the reduction in fees that the City may not be able to recoup the cost of staff time and mailing. With the reduction in the number of properties being noticed this should not be a problem. DISCUSSION: Federal welfare refonn legislation (Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996) became effective in July 1998. This legislation essentially placed work requirements and time limits on assistance for welfare recipients. The Economic Development Commission believed that this legislation would result in an increased demand for additional affordable daycare facilities within the City. Staff responded to the concerns of the Economic Development Commission by developing a program which would simplify the process for obtaining approval of a large family daycare permit as well as making it more affordable and less time consuming. Currently the process takes approximately 37 days to complete and the City places the following requirements on an applicant: A. Notice shall be given to properties within 300 feet of the proposed large family daycare home at least ten days prior to consideration of the permit. B. The permit shall be considered without public hearing unless a hearing is requested by the applicant or other affected party. The applicant or other affected party may appeal the zoning administrator's decision to the planning commission. C. The family daycare function shall be incidental to the residential use of the property. D. A large family daycare home shall not locate within: 1. Three hundred feet of another such facility with said measurement being defined as the shortest distance between the property lines of any such facilities; and A:\Al13finallfd.rpt.doc g>'/J- Page 3, Item No: e Meeting Date: 7/20/99 2. Twelve hundred feet of another such facility along the same street with said measurements being defined as the shortest distance between front property lines, as measured along the same street, of any such facilities. E. The owner must provide a double-wide driveway which shall be paved to meet City Standards and be a minimum of 16 feet wide and 19 feet in depth as measured from the edge of sidewalk to any vertical obstruction. The driveway shall be available during all hours of operation for the loading and unloading of children. If a garage exists on-site, it must be utilized for parking of personal vehicle(s). In the event that less than a two-car garage exists on-site, the owner must designate an area on-site other than on the driveway so that a total of two personal vehicles can be parked on-site, including the garage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, applicant must comply with all other Municipal Code provisions as to parking and traffic. F. If in the opinion of the zoning administrator there is a potential for significant traffic problems, the zoning administrator shall request review of the application by the city traffic engineer. The city traffic engineer may impose accessory requirements for the daycare permit in these instances to insure maintenance of traffic safety levels within the vicinity of the home. G. A usable rear yard play area of 1,200 sq. ft. shall be provided. Outdoor play activity shall not be allowed in the front or exterior side yard of the home. H. Play areas shall be designed and located to reduce the impact of noise on surrounding properties. The zoning administrator may impose reasonable requirements to alleviate noise, including but not limited to installation of a six foot high block wall around the perimeter of the rear yard. Section 19.58.147 of the Municipal Code outlines criteria which must be met in order to grant a large family day care permit. These criteria are based on State law (Health and Safety Code Sections 1597.30 et seq) which gives the local jurisdiction the ability to impose standards, restrictions and requirements concerning: 1.) spacing and concentration, 2.) traffic control, 3.) parking, and; 4.) noise control relating to such homes. The following existing areas of the Municipal Code have been identified as not being in compliance with State law. 1. The Health and Safety Code states that noticing shall be within a IOO-foot radius. The current code requires noticing of up to 300-foot radius. 2. The City can no longer regulate play area square footages or dimensions. While cities were allowed to require this in the past, recent State legislation has been adopted which takes away the City's authority to regulate this aspect oflarge family. 3. The City cannot require a block wall to attenuate noise. Any noise standards shall be A:\Al13finallfd.rpt.doc 8'r;1 ......." Page 4, Item No: L Meeting Date: 7/20/99 consistent with local noise ordinances and shall take into consideration the noise levels generated by children. Additionally, the Child Care Advocate for the State of California expressed concern regarding the following related issues: 1. The $350 administrative use pennit fee for a large family day cm-e is too high for those who are attempting to open a large family day care business. 2. The application and site plan submittal requirement is too complex. They are seeking simpler and less duplicative documentation. 3. The current spacing and distancing requirements is too stringent and should be reconsidered. The City's current spacing between facilities is 1200 feet if they are on the same street and 300 feet if on adjacent streets. Ms. Lovelace indicated that the typical spacing requirement for other cities in San Diego County is approximately 500 feet. 4. The processing is too time consuming and complex. They would prefer that the large family day care homes be allowed as a matter of right, rather than through the administrative CUP process. ANALYSIS Staff has reviewed the input from the Child Care Commission and the State of California Child Care Advocate. Staff has also met with the Child Care Task Force on two occasions and has considered their concerns regarding the provision of affordable child care in relation to the current Welfare Refonn Legislation. Required Code Amendments Staff is recommending that the Municipal Code be amended to be in compliance with State law. (See Exhibit A). Specifically, Section 19.58.147 (G) and (H) are proposed to be amended. These sections regulate noticing radius, play area square footage and potential block wall requirements. Suggested Processing Amendments Additionally, staff believes that a more streamlined and efficient method of processing large family day care permits could be accomplished by instituting the following changes: . Coordinate with the State Community Care Licensing Agency and Fire Marshal for the use of similar forms. This could provide a simpler and more efficient process for both the applicant and staff. Staff is currently working with the State Licensing Agency to develop these forms. A:\Al13fmallfd.rpt.doc 8'--1 Page 5, Item No: g Meeting Date: 7/20/99 . Revise the Child Care handout and fonns at the counter to reflect the streamlined process, new fees and submittal requirements. The revised fee can be considered since the noticing requirements are being reduced from 300 to 100 feet. Planning Division staff is currently working on development of new fonns for the public counter. . Currently, the State Child Care Advocate holds twice a month meetings with potential providers at the Nonnan Park Center. A City staff member will be available to attend these meetings as needed to provide and explain the revised handout, application forms and procedures. . Current Site Plan requirements could be modified. Since the size of the play area will not be regulated, this requirement would be deleted from the submittal requirement. . Streamline the process from its current 37 day timeframe to 15 days, by noticing concurrently with routing to other City departments. Staff is currently implementing this procedure. Spacing Reauirements Staff has considered the concern regarding reducing the spacing requirements for large family day care homes, however, is not in support of reducing those requirements at this time. The current spacing requirements were reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council on November 5, 1997 and December 16, 1997 respectively. At those hearings the 300 foot requirement was actually added due to the concern regarding overconcentration of large family day care homes in a neighborhood. The State Child Care Advocate believes that our spacing requirements should be reduced to be more consistent with other communities in the San Diego region. Staff briefly reviewed spacing requirements for other communities in the San Diego region and this survey indicated a wide range of distance restrictions; essentially from no restriction to 700 feet. Staff is not comfortable with pursuing a reduction in spacing unless specifically directed by the City Council especially in light of the recent action to be more stringent with this requirement. CUP Reauirement State law gives local jurisdictions three options for licensing large family day care facilities. State code indicates that a County or City can approve large family day care homes "by right", may "grant a non-discretionary permit", or require a "Use Pennit". The City is currently using the "Use Permit" option. Staff is recommending that the Use Permit option be retained, but that the process be simplified and the time frame shortened. The time frame would be shortened by concurrently noticing the project while the application is being routed to the various City departments for their input. Staff believes that it is important to provide noticing to surrounding properties, and this is something that would not occur if either of the first two options for processing were chosen. A:\Al13flllllllfd.rpt.doc g~5 Page 6, Item No: ? Meeting Date: 7/20/99 CONCLUSION Based upon the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the proposed code amendments and permit processing procedures: 1. Reduction of noticing from 300 feet to 100 feet. 2. Elimination of the 1,200 square foot play area requirement. 3. Elimination of the block wall requirement. 4. Reduction of the fee for a Large Family Day Care Permit to $150. 5. Reduction in the processing time for an Administrative Conditional Use Permit from 37 days to approximately 15 days. 6. Planning Division staff attendance at the twice monthly orientation meetings. Items 1-3 require specific Municipal Code amendments and are reflected in the attached draft ordinance. Item 4 will be brought back before the City Council as a consent item for final review and approval and Items 5 and 6 are process changes which are currently being implemented by City staff. FISCAL IMPACT There may be some impact to the City in terms of lost revenue due to the proposed reduction in fees from $350 to $150. However, it is anticipated that at least a portion of this will be negated due to the reduction in notice radius from 300 to 100 feet. Attachments I. Planning Commission Minutes and Resolution 2.

H:\HOME\PLANNING\MAR1A\AMEND\19S8147A.WPD g -/ {) Planning Commission Minutes - 5 - April 14, 1999 Comm sioner Castaneda stated he could support the proposal with modifications. First, the beer garden at e open-air market should be promoted as nothing more than a snack bar that happens to sell beer, ot a beer garden. Secondly, the sale of beer 3 hours prior to the event should be reduced to 2 h rs. Thirdly, Cmr. Castaneda does not have a concern with minors being allowed to go into the SI er Bullet Lounge accompanied by an adult before and during the concert, however, they sho d be restricted after the end of the concert. His experience in other venues has been that the at sphere in these lounges are not appropriate for minors. Public Hearing re-opene Buck Martin, General Manage f Coors Amphitheater responded to Commissioner Castaneda's proposed changes. He stated th Universal Concert's philosophy is one of providing a service to their customers. The sale of alco I 3 hours prior to the concert is by no means economically driven, but is driven by a desire to pr ide a complete service to the customer. Mr. Martin further stated that he has wor d in many different venues throughout the United Stated and each jurisdiction has some kin of an open container restriction, however, the enforcement of the restrictions is somewhat gra in all jurisdictions. MSC (Thomas/O'Neill) (4-3-0-0) that the Planning mission adopt Resolution PCC-95-47M recommending that the City Council approve the pro sed modification in accordance with the findings and subject to the conditions in the Draft uncil Resolution with the following changes: a.

PUBLIC HEARING: PCA-99-01, Consideration of an amendment to Section 19.58.147 of the Municipal Code to revise standards and processing for large family day care homes. - City initiated. 8ackground: Jim Sandoval, Assistant Director of Planning reported that due to changes in federal legislation regarding Welfare reform there is a belief that a demand for day care facilities has risen, therefore, in July 1998 the Economic Development Commission requested that the Planning Department re-evaluate the Large Family Day Care Homes ordinance. If') / I/7T/lCH M ~ NT 1 Planning Commission Minutes . 6 . April 14, 1999 The San Diego County Child Care Planning Council has identified the City of Chula Vista as a "high needs community" in the South Bay area, and the greatest need identified is care for infants and after school age children. Staff met with Dana Lovelace, a Child Care Advocate with the State of California Department of Social Services and she identified areas where in her opinion current City Ordinance is not in conformance with current State Law. The City's Child Care Commission reviewed the proposal in December 1998 and were supportive of the ordinance changes and recommended staff look into a reduction in fees and streamlining of our current process. The Municipal Code outlines criteria which are based on State law which grants local jurisdiction the ability to improve standards, restrictions and requirements as it relates to: 1. spacing and concentration 2. traffic control 3. parking, and 4. noise control relating to such homes. The following existing areas of the Municipal Code have been identified as not being in compliance with State law. 1. The City cannot require noticing beyond the 100 foot radius. The current Code requires noticing of up to 300 foot radius. 2. The City cannot regulate play area square footage or dimensions. 3. The City cannot require a block wall to attenuate noise It is the State's position that the City cannot impose standards on large family day care facilities that would not normally be imposed upon a typical single family residence. Additionally, the State agency expressed concern with the following: 1. The $350 administrative fee that is currently charged is somewhat prohibitive to those who are attempting to establish a day care. 2. That the site plan submittal requirement is too complex 3. The current spacing and distancing requirement is too stringent. Currently spacing between facilities on the same street is 1200 feet and 300 feet if on adjacent streets. The typical spacing requirement for other cities in San Diego County is approximately 500 feet, and 4. The processing time is too time consuming and complex. Staff believes a more efficient method of processing LFDC permits could be accomplished by instituting the following: 1. Coordinate with the State Community Care Licensing agency and Fire Marshal to create forms that are consistent, not duplicative, and easier to fill out. g'--/2 Planning Commission Minutes - 7 - April 14, 1999 2. Current the State Advocate meets twice monthly with potential providers, and a City staff member would be available to attend these meetings as needed to provide and explain the revised handouts, application forms and procedures. 3. Simplify the site plan requirement, and 4. Streamline the process from the current 37 days to approximately 15 days by noticing concurrently with routing to other City departments. There are two areas that, although they are not State requirements the State Advocate has made recommendations on, however, staff does not agree with them. They are: 1. That the spacing requirements be reduced to be more consistent with other jurisdictions in the region. Staff reviewed other communities and the survey indicated a wide range of distance restrictions from no restriction, to 700 feet. In light of recent action to be more stringent with this requirement, staff is not comfortable pursuing this unless specifically directed by the Commission. 2. State law gives local jurisdictions three options for licensing large family day care faci I ities: a. by right - requires no permit from the City, only the State b. grant a non-discretionary permit - allowing standard-type conditions without the discretion of adding specific conditions to address a problem; and c. a Use Permit - enables the City to add conditions relating to health and safety issues, and also provides noticing to neighbors, which the other two do not. The City currently uses the Use Permit process and staff is recommending that it be continued, implementing new streamlining processes. Staff recommendation: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PCA-99-01 recommending the City Council adopt an ordinance to amend the existing large family day care provisions (Section 19,58.147) of the Municipal Code. Commission Discussion: Commissioner Castaneda asked if the $150.00 is an accurate reflection of the processing costs and the City requires proof of certification from the State before a permit is issued. Mr. Sandoval responded that the City does require proof of certification from the State, and the processing cost most likely exceeds $150.00, however, for the better good of the community, the City will absorb the extra cost. Commissioner Ray stated that he would like staff to re-evaluate the fee schedule to be more reflective of what the true processing costs; that the obtaining of a business license be done concurrently with the permit processing; and that the noticing costs be incurred by the applicant. ~r/J Planning Commission Minutes - 8 - April 14, 1999 Commissioner O'Neill expressed concerns with the disparity in parking restrictions for any home- based business and a large family day care. In addition, he does not support reducing the noticing distance from 300 feet to 100 and asked what recourse the City has to maintain that distance. Mr. Sandoval responded that this is one of the reasons that staff supports continuing the permit process as is because it at least grants the City the ability imposing certain conditions to deal with some of the impacts that could be anticipated. Elizabeth Hull, Assistant City Attorney, stated that the State believes they have pre-empted the City in the noticing distance requirements from 300 feet to 100 feet, however, it is the City Attorney's belief that the language of the statute is ambiguous and it would be a policy decision to challenge the State in this area. Ms. Hull further indicated that parking requirements is within the City's purview and can be addressed through the permit process. Commissioner Thomas supports staff's recommendation to maintain the current Use Permit thereby granting the City the greatest latitude in having some say in the process, and also would support any reasonable measure to challenge the State in its position on the noticing distance. Commissioner Hall stated that his experience having served on the Child Care Commission, is that this is a "hot" topic because there is a need for child care providers. The City needs to make sure it is in compliance with State regulations and cautioned against being too stringent, however, it is good that the City exercise its ability to legally maximize its input, which is through the current permit process. In addition, Cmr. Hall asked if there was any history of complaints from surrounding neighbors. Mr. Sandoval responded that there are presently 23 large family day cares in the community, and after checking with Code Enforcement they have indicated that no complaints have been raised by surrounding neighbors. Public Hearing opened 9:15. No public input. Public Hearing closed 9:15. MSC (Castaneda/Ray) (7-0) that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PCA-99-01 recommending the City Council adopt an ordinance to amend the existing large family day care provisions (Section 19,58.147) of the Municipal Code with the following recommendations: 1. Add a sentence to Section 19.58.147 of the Municipal Code A. HThe City will recover from the applicant cost of mailing notices to properties within 100 feet of the proposed daycare home; 2.

There is a shortage of day care spots for young children in Chula Vista. Family day care is the easiest way to fill the shortage. This gives parents a choice as to a home setting or an institutionalized setting. The people who do day care for a living don't make any large amounts of money at it. It is a modest income. The people who want to do this have to love kids and want to take care of them. The issue of requiring people to have block walls to stop noise is a very costly requirement. The noise from a family day care would be minimal, no more than you would have from a large family. This is usually a business run in day time hours. The city has ordinances against excessive noise and if a day care were to cause a noise problem this could be taken care of through existing ordinances. There are two adults supervising at a large family day care and the only noise would be children playing. Again no more than a large family would make. Several child care commissioners have driven to see how the spacing of 1200 feet works. This is a very long block. It prevented a lady from getting a liscence because a neighbor down at the end of the block and on the comer had a liscense. We checked with other cites and found that 300 feet was the nonn. 1200 feet seems excessive when we drove to look at far apart the two houses were. We hope that the planning commission will consider these changes because there is a shortage and large centers do not take infants. With welfare refonn many mothers of infants are not able to get jobs because the cannot find child care. Making it easier for those who are willing and want to take care of children is the goal of the child care comission. "~. f5~/ 7 AIIA:GHMcN-r d- ORDINANCE NO.

Resolution / 7-'>)' ~proving amendments to the Otay Ranch Phase Two Resource Management Plan. ~ Director ofPc;ning and BUi1ding~ City Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ No..xJ SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: The Otay Ranch Company has applied to amend the Otay Ranch Phase Two Resource Management Plan (RMP) to implement the recently approved Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan (GDP/SRP) and SPA One amendments for Village One and Village One West. This amendment would be accomplished by revising the RMP Preserve Map and text. The map amendment will add development areas in Village One and Village One West in exchange for adding open space areas in Villages 13 and 15. In addition, amendments to the RMP text and tables are proposed to implement the applicant's agreement with the Wildlife Agencies. The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the project and determined that it is in substantial conformance with the Otay Ranch GDP Program EIR-90-01, SPA Plan, EIR-95-01, Subsequent EIR-97-03 and other related environmental documents, and that the project would not result in any new environmental effects that were not previously identified, nor would the proposed project result in a substantial increase in severity in any environmental impacts previously identified. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the amendment to the Otay Ranch Phase Two Resource Management Plan. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on April 14, 1999 and voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the amendment to the Otay Ranch Phase Two Resource Management Plan. On February 1, 1999, the Resource Conversation Commission voted 5 to 2 (Marquez, Fisher) to recommend approval of the amendments to the RMP Phase 2 Plan. Minutes of the RCC meeting are in Attachment 10. I-I . '-7 Item NO"----1- Page 2, Meeting Date: 7--99 BACKGROUND: Phase 2 Resource Management Plan (RMP) In November of 1995, the Baldwin Companies sent a letter to the City, County of San Diego and the Wildlife Agencies that summarized the elements of the Otay Ranch portion of the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan. The letter contained elements of a proposed agreement between the City, County and Wildlife Agencies concerning the MSCP Subarea Plan relative to the land the Baldwin Companies controlled at that time. The letter was never transformed into a formal agreement, however, the Wildlife Agencies responded with a February 22, 1996 letter agreeing to six of the elements except for the deletion of the maritime succulent scrub restoration requirement. The agencies did not support the deletion of this restoration requirement so it is not part of staffs recommendation to the City Council. The County of San Diego included the Baldwin letter as an appendix to their MSCP Subarea Plan, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors without objection by the Wildlife Agencies. The letter also then becomes part of the Implementing Agreement between the County and the Wildlife Agencies. City staff is considering the same appendix to the City Subarea Plan for consistency with the County's plan. On November 10, 1998, the City Council approved GDP amendments on the Otay Ranch to implement the tentative MSCP agreement between the applicant and the resource agencies. The GDP amendments changed land uses in Village One West, Villages 13 (the Resort Site) and Village 15 (south of the Lower Otay Reservoir). The GDP amendments added development area in Village One West in exchange for the deletion of development areas in Villages 13 and 15. This amendment to the RMP was postponed to ensure consistency between the City's MSCP Subarea Plan and other projects such as Olympic Parkway. Staff is far enough along with the preparation of the Subarea Plan to proceed with the RMP amendments. The RMP needs to be amended to keep the preserve boundaries and text consistent with the GDP. The following amendments to the RMP Phase 2 are proposed: DISCUSSION: Resource Preserve Map (Phase 2 RMP, page 3) Discussion: As part of the agreement between the applicant and the resource agencies relating to the MSCP, the agencies agreed to authorize the disturbance of sensitive habitat in the Poggi Canyon area (Villages One and Village One West) in exchange for adding preservation of land within Village 13 and Village 15. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to modifY the Preserve map to reflect these changes by adding portions of Village 13 and Village 15 to the Preserve and deleting the Poggi Canyon area from the Preserve. td.- Item No.:l Page 3, Meeting Date: 7--99 Analysis: The habitat in Village One West is isolated and disconnected from the preserve while the areas in Villages 13 and 15 are adjacent to the larger Preserve area in the Proctor Valley Parcel and San Y sidro Mountain Parcel. The Wildlife Agencies believe preserving the habitat in Villages 13 and 15 will provide a wider wildlife corridor between the San Y sidro Mountains and Jamu1 Mountain. A wider corridor will provide a better Preserve design in the opinion of the Agencies. The SPA One West EIR found that the exchange would have a higher long-term biological resource value because of the isolation of the Poggi Canyon area from the rest of the Preserve. The EIR concluded that the conversion ofland in Villages 13 and 15 to open space could be considered a reasonable trade off for the proposed exchange for the Villages One West area. The City Council approved the underlying GDP land uses for this amendment on November 10,1998. Ownership Map (Phase 2 RMP, page 71) Discussion: The Phase 2 RMP contains an ownership map depicting the major ownerships within Otay Ranch when the SPA One Plan was approved in June of 1996. At that time, there were five major owners of the Otay Ranch. The map was initially included in the RMP because ownership patterns affected the implementation of various RMP policies. A revised ownership map with the current 11 owners is included in the Phase 2 RMP to reflect current ownership patterns. Analysis: Ownership is important in the RMP because of the requirement to convey preserve land as development occurs. Recently, the McMillin Companies acquired the Marian Communities Inc. property which now provides them with sufficient preserve land to convey for their development in Villages One and Five. Coastal Sage Scrub Restoration (Phase 2 RMP, pages 74-75,135,139) Discussion: Section C.2 of the Baldwin letter proposes the elimination of the coastal sage scrub restoration requirement. The resources agencies agreed in Point 4 of their letter that the applicant need not restore CSS as initially required by the GDP and Resource Management Plan. The purpose of this amendment is to clarifY that CSS restoration is not a requirement of the applicant's project. Exhibit 15 is updated to indicate that the total area of CCS preserved still meets the RMP preservation requirements. Analysis: The habitat in the exchange areas in Village 13 and 15 is, for the most part, Coastal sage scrub and adjacent to existing Preserve areas. The Wildlife Agencies agreed to eliminate the 9;1 Item No.: '1 Page 4, Meeting Date: 7--99 restoration requirement as part of the agreement for preserving better quality habitat in Village 13 and 15. Attachment 8 is the amended Exhibit 15 from the RMP 2 and indicates that the restoration requirement is now less for Villages 1. 13 and 15 while the requirement for the other villages remains the same based on the restoration ratio established in the RMP. The table indicates that since less CSS is impacted bv development less is required to be restored. Ranch-wide resolution of the CSS restoration requirement for the other property owners remains an issue to be finalized in the MSCP between the City and the resource agencIes. This amendment was analyzed for its environmental impacts in the SF A One West ElK The Wildlife Agencies were sent copies of the EIR for their review and comment. As indicated in Attachment 9. page 14-1. Responses to Comments. the agencies are not listed as submitting comments on the ElK The agencies chose not to comment on the RMP amendments and the agreement as described in the EIR. Staff has taken the non-response bv the Wildlife Agencies as an indication of their continued support of the agreement. The Agencies have also verballv indicated their support of the agreement in on-going discussion on the Preserve and the implementation of the RMP. Grazing Prohibition (Phase 2 RMP, page 133) Discussion: The RMP prohibits cattle grazing within certain areas of Otay Ranch starting in late 1997 and early 1998 based upon assumption that entitlements and actual development would proceed faster than they actually occurred. Accordingly, the specific time frame identified in the RMP was misleading. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to tie the prohibition of grazing to a specific entitlement event, such as the issuance of the first final map. Ana1vsis: The practical effect of the changed language is negligible since, with or without the clarifying amendment, grazing is currently prohibited in the areas identified in the RMP. Steep Slope Calculation/Analysis (Phase 2 RMP, pages 162 and 163) Discussion: As indicated earlier, the MSCP agreement between the applicant and the resource agencies permitted development within the Poggi Canyon areas (Villages One and Two) and deleted development from portions of Villages 13 and 15. The purpose of this proposed amendment is to modify the slope calculations for these villages to reflect the agreement and the GDP amendment recently enacted incorporating the agreement. Additionally, the specific analysis relative to slope impacts in SPA One is deleted because it is out of date. 9-1 Item No.:~ Page 5, Meeting Date: 7--99 Ana1vsis: The Otay Ranch GDP requires 25% of the steep slopes (25% or greater) ranch-wide to be preserved. The purpose of this calculation and analysis is to track the preservation of the steep slopes. Since most of the new open space contains steep slopes, the development of Villages One and Two will be balance with the new open space areas in Villages 13 and 15 and, therefore, the GDP requirement is maintained. CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the amendment to the Otay Ranch Phase Two Resource Management Plan is consistent with Otay Ranch GDP policies and the applicant's agreement with the Wildlife Agencies. These amendments will bring the RMP into consistency with the GDP amendments approved by the City Council in November of 1998. Staff recommends approval of the Phase 2 RMP amendments. FISCAL IMPACT: This project is included in the scope of the staffing agreement with The Otay Ranch Company. All costs are covered by the deposit account under the staffing agreement. Attachments 1.

This invitation is on behalf of the many citizens of our city, as well as our International Friendship Commission, who have come to know and love Cebu City and vote unanimously in favor of the affiliation. As we look to the future of this alliance, we envision a growing awareness and appreciation of each other's culture and people. From small beginnings, we hope this partnership will continue for many generations, fostering educational, economic, and professional exchanges. We look forward to the limitless possibilities of this relationship. Although this partnership must begin on an official basis between the governments of our two cities, we see the strength and vitality of this long-term association resting wholly in the hands of our citizen volunteers and participants. To this end, we have in place an active group of "Friends of Cebu City" here in Chula Vista. We suggest that Cebu City form a similar body of volunteers to form a group of "Friends of Chula Vista". The City of Chula Vista's International Friendship Commission has been working very closely with the Philippine community in our city to bring about this exciting opportunity for our two cities. We truly hope that Cebu City will consider a Sister City relationship with the City of Chula Vista. We eagerly await your decision.

Meeting edjoumed at 5:30 P.M. ~.~~ Lorraine Alexander Secretary COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item / I Meeting Date 7/20/99 ITEM TITLE: Report on Chula Vista Transit (CVT) Bus Paint Scheme SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works f}\ ~ REVIEWED BY: City Manag~ ~ ~\ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ No X) Fifteen new 40 foot buses are on order for tAe..tVT fleet, and delivery is anticipated in August 2000. These buses will replace 15 ofthe oldest CVT buses, or almost half of the 33 bus fleet. Council may wish to consider a new paint scheme (colors and design) for the buses at this time for the following reasons: (1) CVT has embarked on an aggressive bus replacement program, and it is anticipated that the entire fleet will be replaced within the next five years; (2) a new paint scheme would be one way to symbolize the "new" and technologically advanced CVT fleet, consisting of 40 foot, "low floor" CNG buses; and (3) the existing paint scheme has been used since 1984; if Council wishes to change the paint scheme, beginning with these 15 buses would be an appropriate time to do so. RECOMMENDATION: That Council: 1. Accept this report; and 2. Approve a new paint scheme for new CVT buses as shown on Attachment 1 (maroon and gold stripes on a white background) or Attachment 2 (blue and gold stripes on a white background). BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable DISCUSSION: In anticipation that Council might wish to consider a new paint scheme for the CVT fleet, beginning with the 15 CNG buses on order, Transit staff requested MTDB's graphic design staff to develop various exterior designs and colors for consideration. Some of these designs were similar to the existing paint scheme (solid maroon bus with blue stripe, as presented on Attachment 3), and others consisted of a variety of designs and color combinations. After reviewing the numerous options, both City Transit staff and MTDB staff selected the basic stripe pattern shown in Attachments 1 through 4. The next consideration was a series of color combinations. The Transit Coordinator at this point presented the stripe design and a few color combinations to the Public Information Officer. The Transit Coordinator and the Public Information Officer both recommend the following: 11---- I Page 2, Item ~ Meeting Date 7/20/99 . a change from the present paint scheme, represented by Attachment 3. . a change to the paint scheme in Attachment 1 (maroon and gold stripes on a white background), or Attachment 2 ( blue and gold stripes on a white background). Following are some other points for Council's information and consideration: . During the corning years, some (and possibly all) of the other bus operators in the region will be changing to a stripe design on a white background represented on Attachments 1, 2, and 4. . The MTDB contract routes (the routes that operate out ofthe Main Street facility in Chula Vista and generally serve portions of South Bay) plan to use the red and blue stripe design shown on Attachment 4. San Diego Transit's colors are also red and blue, but they currently use a horizontal stripe design and have not yet made a decision about changing the design on new buses. . The recommended new CVT paint scheme in either Attachments 1 or 2 would accomplish the following: it would differentiate CVT from other systems because of the color combinations (either maroon and gold or blue and gold); but the stripe design would also link CVT to other operators as part of the regional network of services. . The interior colors of the new buses (seats, flooring, etc) would be coordinated with the exterior colors selected by Council. FISCAL IMPACT: The paint scheme (design and two colors) are included in the cost of the buses on order. There would be no impact on the cost of the buses related to the recommended paint schemes presented in Attachments 1 or 2. ATTACHMENTS 1. Recommended CVT bus paint scheme: maroon and gold stripe 2.
