FIRST READING
Language of Text changed Director of Planning Paterson noted the change in the
language of the Text - page 6, paragraph 3 which reflects
the Council's concern regarding construction of "H" Street:
"In particuear, no lands within the La Canada, Del
Cen~ro, Del Rey, or North College Sectional Plan~eng
Areas, or within that part of the Parkside SPA which
abuts upon East "H" Street, shall be developed prior
to the involved developers' submittal of a program
for the full construction of East "H" Street, between
the easterly limits of the Rice Canyon SPA and Otay
Lakes Road and the City Councie's approval of such
program."
Letter from R. A. Watt Councilman Cox noted the letter submitted to the Council
from R. A. Watt requesting separation of his 450 acres
(adjoining the "H" Street/I-805 interchange) from the
remainder of E1Rancho del Rey in order to facilitate
development.
City Attorney Lindberg stated there was no necessity to
consider that portion separately (Rice Canyon SPA) or more
narrowly define Mr. Watt's property which is a smallsection
of this SPA. The option of the ordinances presented this
evening will "open the door" for development of that area
in accordance with the plan.
Suggested change City Attorney Lindberg asked that the following change
in Text be made in the Text - page 7 & 8 (last sentence). Strike
out the sentence:
"Developers should regard the top of each density
range indicated on the plan diagram as the maximum
overale density to be allowed within a given area.
The Plan~ing Commission and City Councie are under
no obligation to approve plans at the top step of
any density range, but rather should consider the
following factors in arriving at an appropriate
density for a particular project."
City Council Meeting -11- August 8, 1978
And insert the following:
"l~e ranges expressed on the Specific Plan, at the
upper end of the range, are a maximum allowable
density upon which the subdivider can fully rely,
and reductions from that maximum should be made
only upon a showing that, given a particuear deve-
lopment area and circumstances and conditions en-
countered therein, a lesser density would be desirabl§;
but in no case would it be less than the low end o~
the range established for the area. The following
factors should be considered in arriving at a less
than maximum density for a particular project: (list
a through c) d. The degree to which amenities and
unique features and open space are incorporated into
the project."
Suggested continuance Discussion followed on 'the additional change to the Text
