Development Plan of E1
Rancho del Rey Councilman Scott referred to Section G on page 8 and to
other references in the text regarding construction of
Construction of East "H" Street and to the request of the Watt Industries
East "H" Street to withdraw the 450 acre portion from the Plan. He ques-
tioned whether it was: appropriate, before any commercial
development is allowed in that area, for an agreement to
be made with the City to complete "H" Street all the way
through.
City Council Meeting -8- Aug-ust 1, '1978
Council discussion An indepth discussion ensued concerning the approval
of development from west to east and the concurrent construc-
tion of East "H" Street. Comments included (1) the burde~
it would place on small developers; (2) the necessity of
completing the street as the main circulation artery; (3)
possibility of establishing reimbursement districts;
construction co~rpleted under "pay-back" agreements with
other developers; (5) cost factors; and (6) the problems
created if construction is not conrplete and land is sold
before agreements are made.
Reimbursement plan Director of Planning Peterson referred to page tl of the
suggested in Text Text, Section J - Cost Distribution - providing for a reim-
bursement plan or plans to equitably spread costs of the
public facilities required to serve the E1Rancho del Rey
area.
Concern expressed Director of Public Works Robens expressed his concern that
for only one entrance there is only one entrance to the area and it is important
to area for traffic circulation to have another entrance.
Reimbursement process In answer to a query from Councilman Cox, City Attorney
discussed Lindberg said the reimbursement process of the City does
not rely on concurrence of the property owners, bUt it is
encumbent upon them to.pay their fair share of the improve-
ments before building permits are issued.
Continued discussion Continued discussion.was held by the Council and staff
concerning alternatives; problems created in requiring
developers of the 450 acres to complete a- portion of East
"H" Street; including in the policy that development go
from westto east - and proceed along and include the
development of East "H" Street - and until that corridor
has developed, no other area be developed.
Motion to require It was moved by Councilman Scott that before ~he 450 acres
minimum extension of be developed that a plan would have to be worked out to
East "H" Street in have a minimal extension of East "H" Street all the way to
development of 450 the part that is developed now - to NOrth College area.
acres area
Addition to motion Mayor Hyde seconded the motion with the addition that de-
velopment be taken at least to that point where "H" Street
intersects with Paseo del Rey. Councilman Scott agreed to
the addition.
Amendment to motion It was moved by Councilman Scoit and seconded by Mayor Hyde
that an amendment to the motion be made that for any further
development in that whole plan discussed tonight.that a
solution to East "H" Street would have to be worked out for
further eastward extension beyond the intersection of Paseo
del Rey and East "H" Street.
Motion clarified Councilman Scott clarified that the motion as stated would
not be part of the Text until after the staff has "polished
it up," and put it in legal and grammatical terms.
Concern not shared City Manager Cole said that he does not share the concern
by City Manager regarding traffic congestion in view of the traffic handled
on Bonita Road and Telegraph Canyon Road and did not see a
problem in the construction of East "H" Street as develop-
ment occurs.
City Council Meeting -9- August 1, 1978
Motion further At the Mayor's request, Councilman Scott further clarified
clarified the motion stating that before the development of the 450
acres that "H" Street would goto Paseo del Rey and before
any further development would occur, an agreement would be
made for East "H" Street to be continued and this would be
brought back to be included in the Specific Plan Text.
Substitute motion It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by Councilman
Cox that with the exception of the 450 acres - because the
rest of the acreage is essentially under one ownership -
that the staff be asked to prepare text to go into the
Specific Plan Text that would state that it would be en-
cumbent upon the major developer and land owner to present
to the Council his plan for the development of East "H"
Street before the Council would approve any additional or
further development - for all of East "H" Street -'how that
would be accomplished.
Possible problems in City Manager Cole described the design and grading problems
design and grading in not completing East "H" Street all at one time, particu-
larly the problem of moving vast amounts of dirt.
Text reference to Director of Public Works Robens called the Council's atten-
development of East tion to page 5 of the Text, paragraph 3, Section D - Circu-

of Section H Section H be combined.
Page 10 to Mayor Hyde noted that on page 10 of the Text that numerical

Discussion of Page 11 Director of Public Works Robens recommended that in Paragraph

said there is a question as to whether the City will prepare
the plan or whether it will be prepared by the developer
and approved by the City.

City Council Meeting -10- August 1, 1978
Staff concern regarding Director of Planning Peterson said he was concerned with
density the density as tentatively approved by the Council in two
areas - one area designed 6 to 10 on the steep slope as the
ridge top terminates into Rice Canyon leg (at "H" Street)
in the Del Centro area where he recommended a density of
2 to 3 - as approved by the Council for the balance of that
portion of the Del Centro SPA; and the other area relating
to the 6 to 10 designation of the Parkside SPA which he recom-
mended be relocated to some area south of"J" Street or reduced
in number. He said the last recommendation is made at the
School District request that the proposed junior high school
front on two streets rather than four streets due to cost
factors and safety considerations.
Motion to reduce density It was moved by Councilman Gillow and seconded by Mayor Hyde
in Del Centro area that the westward area of Del Centro designated 6 to 10 be
changed to 2 to 3 (the steep slope area).
Council discussion followed.concerning decisions of the
Council made on the development of East "H" Street related
to higher density; the area is the wrong place for that
density due to the terrain; off-set could be made within
the Del Rey SPA; and the flexibility of making density
changes within each SPA.
James Fairman In response to a query from the Council, Mr. Fairman out-
610 "A" Street lined the proposed development for the area under discussion
San Diego and for the fault zone areas to the east of the "knob" in
(Project Design question where cluster-type units and open space are planned.
Consultants for Otay He said that the grade or slope steepness is no different
Land Company) on the "knob" than in the "loop" area where the staff origi-
nally proposed 6 to 10 units'per acre. He said it would
not be a significant change to move the density back to
the staff location.
Amendment to motion It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and Seconded by Mayor Hyde
that the motion be amended and that all the 6 to 10 units
in the Del Centro area be shifted back and divided between
Del Centro and Del Rey as indicated in the original staff
plan.
Amendmen~ clarified Councilman Egdahl clarified the motion, noting that the 6
to 10 units will be shifted into the staff plan configuration
on the Staff Recommended Plan in the Del Centro and Del Rey
SPA's and that the "knob" would end up being 2 to 3 units
per acre, and the shift includes the portion designed 6 to
10 to the east and adjacent to the "knob" which will revert
to 3 to S units per acre.
Amendment carried The amendment to the motion carried unanimously.
Main motion carried The main motion as amended carried unanimously.
Motion to accept Plan It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Councilman
as tentatively approved Cox that the E1Rancho del Rey Plan, as tentatively approved
by the Council, be accepted.
Amendment to motion It was moved by Mayor Hyde and seconded by Councilman Scott
that the motion be amended and that in the Parkside SPA,
the 6 to 10 units per acre be exchanged with the equivalent
acreage to that area south of East "J".
Otay Land Company In response to the Council's request for comments on this
accepted staff proposal motion, Mr. Fairman said this would not be a problem as
for Parkside SPA long as there is flexibility later on in actually designing
that area as the representation on Parkside was proposed
by staff and not the Otay Land Company.
City Council Meeting -11- AuguSt 1, 1978
Amendment carried The amendment to the motion carried unanimouslyj

Carmen Pasquale In answer to a query from Mr. Pasquale (representing Otay
Otay Land Company Land Company) asking for clarification as to whether the
map as tentatively approved tonight will be given final
approval next week as a matter of formality, the Council
reapended that the staff has been requested to bring hack
the necessary documents, but it is conceivable that changes
may be made if there is strong reason to do so.
