the construction of "H" Street between 1-805 and 0ray Lakes
Road has been approved by Council and actual construction
has been assured; (2) adopt a resolution requesting the
Board of Supervisors to adhere to their policy of discourag-
ing development of unincorporated areas which are adjacent

ing no developments in that area until "H" Street is improv-
ed; the Gersten letters; developments on the east side of
Otay Lakes Road and three alternatives for Council consider

WRITTEN CO~4UNICATIONS (Cent.)
Council alternatives Mayor Hyde reviewed the alternatives for Council consider-
ation: (!1) reaffirm the City Council's present policy
and indicate that it does not concur with Mr. Lewsader's
request; (2) initiate by action this evening a public
hearing for the purpose of considering a possible modifi-
cation of the Specific Plan for E1Rancho del Rey as it
relatesto the limited area indicated (by the green area on
the map) by staff along with the properties associated with
the right-of-way known as Paseo Ranchere.
Motion to reaffirm policy It was moved by Councilman Scott that the Council reaffirm
its east to west policy.
NO second to motion The motion died for lack of second.
Motion for a public hearing It was moved by Mayor Hyde and seconded by CounCilman Cox
that the Council initiate a public hearing to consider by
the planning Commission and ultimately the City Council,
potential amendments of the Specific Plan to deal with the
problems raised with regard to the sequence of developments
of the eastern end of "H" Street (actually to the west of
Otay Lakes Road) and the properties associated with Paseo
Ranchere.
Councilman Egdah]'s Councilman Egdahl said he is willing to give consideration
comments to the motion only on the condition that Mr. Lewsader's
property is the only property that would qualify (that it
would be the only one totally contained within the bounda-
ries of the developed East "H" Street). If there are other
properties involved, even in part, then he would speak
against the motion.
Councilman Scott's Councilman Scott noted a third option for Council consider-
comments ation: not to extend Paseo Ranchere hut to acknowledge
that the Council would be receptive to a variance filed by
Mr. Lewsader for his property.
City Attorney's opinion Attorney Lindberg stated that the Council could restrict
the public hearing to just the property in question; or
the variance process could 5e followed with a clear stipu-
lation that there would be an automatic appeal of the decisi,
of the Planning Commission to the Council.
Substitute motion It was moved by Councilman Gillow and seconded by Mayor Hyde
that if Mr. Lewsader should ask for a variance through the
Planning Commission, it would automatically come to the
City Council after that, and be undertaken byethe Council
"without prejudice."
Discussion of motion The Council discussed the findings that the Planning Com-
mission would have to make to approve the variance; preceden'
setting for oth~r properties in the area asking for the
same procedure; Mr. Lewsader being "caught in a bind" in
this process.
Director of Planning Peterson explained that Mr. Lewsader
purchased this property from Otay LardCompany during the
time the Specific Plan was under consideration and there
was a moratorium on the property. Mr. Lewsaderwas informed
of this moratorium. Further, the staff never informed Mr.
Lewsader that he could develop th~ property after adoption
of the Specific Plan.
Held Tuesday - 7:00 p.m. - 4 - May 1, 1979

recommendations on Item Gillow that the staff recommendations on Item 4 a-1 be
4 a-1 adopted: (1) adopt resolution of Council's intent to
discourage development east of Otay Labs Road unti'l
construction of "H" Street has been assured; and (2) request
Board of Supervisors to adhere to their policy of discourag-
ing development of unincorporated areas adjacent to cities.
Jerry Dawson Mr. Dawson said he is the Attorney representing the Otay
S~i Camino de la Reins Land Company. Referring to the staff's report, Mr. Dawson
San Diego, CA stated the inference was that the Council was not concerned
with "leap-frog" developments hut only with the construction
of "F' Street. He added that this policy of the Council to
preclude any development in this area until "H" Street is
installed is an unreasonable condition of development. Mr.
Dawson added that there is no development that is going to
take place in "that island west of Otay Lakes Road" which
means that if the property east of Otay Lakes Road is not
developed, the City will not Be accepting its fair share
of reasonable growth as requiredby the City of Livermore
decision.
Mr. Dawson declared that if the Council adopts a policy
tonight (no developments east of Otay Lakes Road) without
a public hearing and getting community input, it would
constitute a violation of the planning law and would consti-
tute one of the three amendments to'the General Plan per-
mitted each year. Mr. Dawson added that it wnuld be
foolish "to waste one of these amendments" on one single
property owner.
Margaret McDonald Mrs. McDonald, representing the Long Canyon Home Owners'
4425 Acacia Avenue Association, said they support the staff recommendation
Ronita, CA relating to the developments east of Otay Lakes Road and
agree with the staff recommendations. Mrs. McDonald
referred to the environmental impact report adding that on
January ~7, 1979, the Board of Supervisors denied a 14-acre
tentative map in the Long Canyon area because of circulation
and drainage impact,
