SUBDIVISION MAp FOR CHULA
VISTA TRACT 79-09, VISTA Director of Planning Peterson explained that the hearing
TOWERS has been continued a number of times to allow the applicant
time to explore a satisfactory method of provi,ding storage
areas which would conform to the ordinance requirements
(256 cubic feet of enclosed storage for each unit). The
applicant proposes to provide this within the carports,
in an area just north of the carports and in the vicinity
of the elevator/lobby area. The 39 units require a total
of 9,984 cubic feet of storage and the combined storage
as proposed is 10,352 cubi~ feet'which gives each unit a
minimum of 256 cubic feet.
Mr. Peterson noted the 60 parking spaces which meet the
Code requirements; the landscaping proposed; and the
conditions of approval.
Planning Commission On November 8, 1978 .the Planning Commission recommended
reconmlendation denial of the map based on the finding that the development
has not complied with present density regulations and has
not provided sufficient information to determine whether
the project meets the development standards for condo-
miniums.
Staff recommendation Mr. Peterson added that the staff is recommending approval
of the map based on the number of conditions outlined in
their report.
Council discussion Discussion followed during which the Council questioned
the Director of Planning as to the acceptability of the
subdivision if it was not a conversion; the density;
allowable units under the existing R-3 regulations; open
space; the "shoe-horning" in of the storage spaces;
conversion policy approved by the Council; giving the staff
more definite guidelines in working with the developers.
Dick Kau Mr. Kau said heris representing the owner. He explained
4203 Acacia Avenue how the storage area requirements were met sta~ing that to
Bonita meet this condition, it will cost approximately $3~000
more per unit. Mr. Kau added that the d~eveloper is just
trying to provide some affordable housing ~in Chula'Vista.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against,
the hearing was declared closed.
Further discussion Further discussion followed regarding the applicant's
ability to meet the condominiumconversion policy.

~ity Attorney's opinion Attorney Lindb~rg stated that the ordinance defines the
requirements for a condominium conversion. At thi~.point,.
to insist that the open space and density be required which
were not required either for a condominium project if it
were developed at the time. the apartment project w~sbuilt
or for apartments at the time that projec~:.was built is
simply an evasion of the ordinance which the Council adopted.
Motion for staff to It was moved by Mayor Hyde and seconded by Councilman Egdahl
modify OrdinanCe that the.staff initiate the necessary steps to modify the
zoning ordinance to prescribe that on apartment to condo-
minium conversions that one of the factors under considera-
tion will be that the condominium must comply with the
zoning that isin existence for the properties involved and~
that the staff consider appropriate language'with r~gard to
open space as a consideration in the condominium complexes.
Discussion of motion Councilman Scott felt the motion placed too much burden on
the staff and that this project was not made originally to
be converted. Councilman Cox agreed adding that the density
was there at the time the apartments were constructed.

the existing zone. He added that he doesn't see a need to
review and change the ordinance.
