James Fairman Mr. Fairman presented statistics in density comparisons,
610 "A" Street referring to the comparisons shown in the staff report
San Diego (page #5) and indicating the differencesin the staff plan
(Project Design and the 0ray Land Company proposal when Considering only
Consultants for E1 Rancho del Rey owBership and not total ownership for
Otay Land Company) the area. He also noted the difference in the open space
for E1 Rancho del Rey development - 37% - vs other o,wnerships
18%, His summary statements concluded that without the
density proposed by the Otay Land Company, it would not be
feasible to achieve a housing mix based on the market fore-
cast for the area or provide affordable housing.
Peter Watry Mr. Watry said he was informally representing ACCORD and
81 Second Avenue individual citizens. He outlined the background of the
(Member of ACCORD) Citizens' Advisory Committee known as ACCORD appointed by
the Council to work with the staff and the consultant, Sedway/
Cooke, and described in detail the efforts made to develop
a plan for the E1Rancho del Rey area. 'He commented on
surveys taken indicating citizen preferences for the area
and said that ACCORD officially adopted the Planning Depart
ment plan with certain provisions which he egumerated for
the Council. Mr. Watry also commented on the need and cost
of additional schools which will be required as the result
of this development.
Mr. Watry urged the Council to accept the recommendationi
of ACCORD, of Sedway/Cooke and of the Planning staff.
Roger W. Challberg Mr. Challberg presented the Council a petition for the
1444 F, Eagle Peak Court record with 300 signatures protesting the proposed construc-
Chula Vista lion of 900 apartment units in the area near East "H" Street
and Otay Lakes Road.
Mr. Challberg said he was speaking on behalf of citizens
whose concern is for the future of the community regarding
lifestyles, environment and the long-term cost to the tax-
payers of Chula Vista. He commented that statistics show
it takes 15 or more years for a new development to become
selfsufficient as far as public services are concerned and
higher density demands more public services. He suggested
that both the staff plan and the 0tay Land Company plan
be placed on the ballot with disclosure of costs to the
taxpayer and to let the public decide.
Citizens in favor In answer to a question from Councilman Gitlow, Mr. Challberg
of staff plan said that the petition is opposed to the high dens&ty off
East "H" Street, with the concern also for increased traffic
and public services - particularly police services. He
said the citizens in the area do speak in support of the
staff plan for their area - (Encore Bonita Homeowners.)
City Council Meeting -13- July 18, 1978
Eugene Coleman Mr. Coleman referred to an article in the San Diego Union
1670 Gotham Street ~his week 'in which the Superintendent of the Elementary
Chula Vista School District said there is no money for additional
schools. He asked if the Metropolitan Sewer District has
indicated whether they can accommodate 5,000 or 8,000 new
homes, and spoke at length on the water problems and
potential energy shortage which Southern California will
face soon. He asked that before any decision is made
regarding new projects that the Council ask representatives~
of the Sewer and Water Districts to discuss this issue in
a public meeting.
Jim Bennett Mr~ Bennett said he has lived here for 20 years and his
981 Telegraph Canyon Road property'is within the Otay Land Company development. He
Chula Vista stated that on the maps the high school is located on part
of his property and the extension of "J" Street will front
his land. He said they are concerned about what will happen
to their house when this development occurs, and prefer the
open space as it is.
Ms. Reva Lynch Ms. Lynch said that she hoped the Council would rescind the
626 Date Avenue actions of 1970 and 1971 and also not adopt the staff plan.
Chula Vista She asked the Council to consider that no development is
feasible and spoke in favor of retaining the area as a
valuable natural resource ~obe left in open space for
eventual public outdoor recreational uses. She asked that
the matter be placed on the November ballot for the people
todecide.
Carol Smith Ms. Smith spoke in favor of the s~aff plan and commented
87 "F" Street on the vote of the community on two occasions against
Chula Vista !'maximum density for profit."
Clint Matthews Mr. Matthews identified an area indicating 2 dwelling units
4305 Vista Coronado Dr. per acre in Lynwood Hills area, and said he supported the
(Lynwood Hills) staff plan for this density.
Chula Vista
Sam Blick, Attorney Mr. Blick said the issue is more than "more units for more
Representing Otay money" and if the staff plan is adopted, there will not be
Land Company development of this area as it is not feasible. He referred
to remarks made by Mr. Lewis in support of the economics
of the Otay Land Company plan and commented on the open
space that is reserved at no cost to the City. He urged
that the Council approve the proposed recommendations of
the developeF.
Ray Watt Mr. Watt said they have been working with the Planning
Watt Industries & MSC Commission and the staff for the past year on development
2160 Fletcher Parkway of the 450 acre portion of the area, and they can conform

City Council Meeting -14- July 18, 1978
Suggestion to consider Mayor Hyde proposed as a method of proceeding that the
individual SPA's Council look at the various Sectional Planning Areas (SPA's)
and see if there are any questions the Council would like
to raise concerning them in order to narrow the issues
that must be resolved. The Council concurred.
Rice Canyon SPA Mayor Hyde suggested that the Counc'il first consider the
Rice Canyon SPA in which the Otay Land Company has requested
some changes in the residential density.
Difference in ACCORD In response to questions from Councilman Egdahl, Mr. Peterson
and staff recommendations summarized the differences in the ACCORD recommendations
discussed and the staff plan in the 450 acre area snd along Ridgeback
Road involving open space and housing units clustered on
hilltops with limited grading. He said the staff plan is a
compromise acknowledging the amount of grading that-must
be done for the extension of "H" Street, the existing
housing market in the South Bay area and the demand for
more conventional housing.
Suggestion for procedure Mayor Hyde proposed that after discussion of the SPA's,
that the Council take a vote which would give "tentative"
approval subject to going back for adjustments at any time
that it is deemed appropriate. The Council concurred.
Motion to tentatively It was moved by Mayor Hyde, seconded by Councilman Egdahl
approve Rice Canyon SPA and unanimously carried by those present that tentative
approval be given to that portion of the staff proposal
identified as Rice Canyon.
La Canada SPA - At Mayor Hyde's r~quest, Mr. Peterson described the boundaries
Northern Tier of the SPA, outlining the area on the wail map in which the
SPA's were designated in various colors.
Council discussion Discussion followed concerning th~ low density in this
SPA (~ Canada) of 1 to 2 units per acre and the staff
concurred that some transfer of density from one type of
designation to another might be appropriate in this area.
Water to be provided In response to a question from Councilman Cox concerning
by Otay Municipal Water availability of water supply, Mr. Peterson said the Otay
District Municipal Water District is in the process of formulating
plans to provide service to this area and as development
moves to the east, they will require a reservoir.
Motion to tentatively It was moved by Mayor Hyde and seconded by Councilman Gillow
approve the La Canada SPA that tentative approval be given to the La Canada portion
of the staff plan. The motion carried by the following
vote, to-wit:

Del Centro SPA Mr. Peterson outlined the boundaries of the Del Centro
SPA on the wall map.
Density change proposed Councilman Cox noted that one of the changes that the
by developer developer has requested is to reverse the center core'on
the staff plan of 6 to 10 units per acre to 3 to 5 units
per acre and in the outer circle, change the staff proposal
for 3 to 5 units per acre and make it 6 to 10 units per
acre.
City Council Meeting -15- July 18, 1978
Mr. Peterson said he had no strong feelings on the 6 to 10
units being changed to designate 3 to 5 units, but the area
near the western end there is a steep slope into the bottom
of Rice Canyon which should have 1 to 2 rather than the 6
to 10 units per acre, depending on the grading plan for
the construction of "H" Street.
Council discussion Discussion ensued concerning the differences in the staff
plan and the "Requested Changes" of the developer; the
proposed shopping center; the concern of the Council
regarding the amount of acreage of very low density; the
flexibility of adjusting densities in this area; how the
"trade-offs" may determine the speed with which "H" Street
will be built; and the earthquake fault zones.
Motion to shift density It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by Councilman
in the Del Rey and Cox that the specific change be made to shift the 6 to 10
Del Centre SPA's units per acre out of the small section of Del Rey and Del
Centre on the staff recommended plan - to the "Requested
Changes" - it all goes into the Del Centre section of the
Otay Land Company Plan, and substitute the 3 to 5 units
per acre from where the 6 to 10 units were removed.
Council discussion Council discussion followed concerning the steep terrain
in the northwestern portion of the area; the earthquake
zones; and the shift to the higher density in this area
of steep terrain where the staff is recommending 1 to 2
units per acre.
Councilman Egdahl asked, if the motion were separated for
purposes of discussion and vote, which part of the two
areas in the "Requested Changes" plan represents~hearea
north of East "H" Street and which part represents that
south of East "H" Street. Me said that in his view of the
two plans, the shift of quantity of territory and ibou~ the
equivolent number of units seems equal. If the area is re-
moved that the staff is concerned about where the designated
density is 1 to 2 units per acre, the Council will still
have to deal with the "center circle" in some way.
Motion split Councilman Egdahl suggested that the motion be split.
Councilman Cox agreed as the second.
Motion to approve It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded by Councilman
"Requested Change" map Cox and unanimously carried.by those present that On the

Centre SPA circle."
Motion to modify density It was moved by Mayor Hyde, seconded by Councilman Cox
in portion of Del Centre and unanimously carried by those present that the portion
area in the Del Centre area designated as 1 to 2 units per acre
be modified to 2 to 3 units per acre.
Concern of 6 to 10 Councilman Egdahl expressed his concern about the 6 to 10
units per acre in units per acre in the bottom half of the "circle" (orange
Del Rey area area) designated Del Rey. He said since the north half -
north of East "H" Street has been changed to 3 to 5 units
per acre, it is not appropriate to have the south half
remain as 6 to 10 units per acre.
Motion to tentatively It was moved by Mayor Hyde and seconded by Councilman Gillow
approve Del Centre that the staff plan for Del Centre SPA be tentatively approved
SPA asmodified with the modifications as approved by Council.
City Council Meeting -16- July 18, 1978
Councilman Bgdahl spoke against the motion at this time
