Council discussion Discussion followed concerning the realignment of Bonita
Mesa Road further to the east to line up with Lynwood Drive
in conjunction with the plans for the major shopping center
in that area. Mr. Peterson felt this might compound the
access onto Bonita Road and bring on an additional request
for a freeway-oriented sign.
Alan Comstock Mr. Comstock said he is the real estate broker representing
2246 Third Avenue Mr. Bradley. He explained that the new alignment for Bonita
San Diego Center Road is not finalized, and technically, it will cut
off access to the property from Bonita Center Road over the
present Bonita Mesa Road. The attorneys are now negotiating
with the County's engineers on this and the matter will be
settled soon. Mr. Comstock asked that Item #16 be taken
next on the agenda since it involves this property.

CONSIDERATION OF opened the public hearing.
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION
MAP PCS-78-4 FOR Director of Planning Peterson referred to his written report
CHULA VISTA TERRACE explaining that the applicant has submitted a tentative
subdivision map for Chula Vista Terrace for the conversion
of a 19 unit apartment project inte condominiums at 174
Fourth Avenue in the R~3 zone.
The proposed project is exempt from environmental review
as a Class ii exemption. On May 10, 1978 the Planning
Commission recommended approval in accordance with their
Resolution PCS-78-4.
Discussion Discussion followed in which Mr. Peterson explained to the
Council the difference in cost for an application for an
apartment complex and that of condominiums. The problems
are compounded by two ordinances geared to the same thing:
one is a Residential Construction Tax for projects that do
not involve subdivisions and which ordinance delineates
fees for each unit constructed. The other is the Park
Acquisition and Dedication ordinance (PAD) designed to
require developers to dedicate land and improve it for
park purposes. Under this ordinance, the subdivider can
make pa)~ent in lieu of dedicating land. That payment would
be larger in the R-3 zones than that of the Residential
Construction Tax.
Councilman Scott remarked that he objected to seeing con-
versions in order to make "rational out of an irrational
situation," He asked if there could be a logical formula
for how much a develoepr should pay rather than going into
the condominium vs apartment approach.
Terry Dillman Mr. Dillman said he was here representing the applicant
along with Mr. Stephen Wong. When they filed the map they
were not aware - nor made aware - of any difference in
fees. Further, they will gladly pay any additional fees.
Mr. Dillman explained the reasons for changing the project
from apartments to condominiums and asked that no delay in
Council action be made since it would cause a financial
hardship on the developer.
Motion for continuance It was moved by Mayor Hyde that this matter be continued
for three weeks and the staff be directed to address the
problems revealed this evening concerning this matter and
that a recommendation with regard to measures to correct
the problem be brought to the City Council at the Thursday
evening meetng (June 22, 1978).
No second to motion The motion died for lack of second.
Dick Schurich Mr. Schuridh asked that the Council approve the project
Actec TV without delay in accordance with t~heir staff's recommenda-
tions.
Terry Dillman Mr. Dillman said he would like to pay the fees - put them
in ~ trust account or whatever - and if the Council decides
to raise the fees, the money will go to the City; if not,
it can come back to the developer, Mr. Dillman asked that
the Council not continue this matter.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against,
the hearing was declared closed.
City Council Meeting -6- June 20, 1978
Motion to amend It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman
Cox and unanimously carried that the resolution be amended
to state that the fees be paid on the lesser amount until
a resolution is made between the two ordinances, and whatever
fees are decided at that time, those fees should be paid.
6a. RESOLUTION NO. 9144 - Offered by Councilman Scott, as amended, the reading of
APPROVING TENTATIVE the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and adopted

the residential construction tax.

CONSIDERATION OF AMEND- opened the public hearing.

DESIGNATION OF 7.18 involves a proposed amendment to the General Plan to

CORNER OF OTAY VALLEY southeast corner of Otay Valley Road and Melrose Avenue
ROAD AND MELROSE FROM from Visitor Commercial to Retail Commercial.
VISITOR CO~qERCIAL TO
RETAIL COMMERCIAL On May 10, 1978 the Planning Commission certified the
EIR-78-10 on this project and recommended that the Council
approve the proposed amendment to the General Plan for this
property of 7.18 acres.
Walter Schwerin Mr. Schwerin said he is representing the applicant and cited
Schwerin, Xinos & Assoc justifications for the change in zone: size of the property,
1400 Sixth Avenue need for the facilities, distance from the central business
San Diego district, 1-805 to the Border is a visitor attraction used
by local traffic and has no need for a visitor facility,
whereas 1-5 serves the tourist traffic. In answer to
Councilman Egdahl's question as to how he arrived at this
last statement, Mr. Schwerin said it was "just a hunch."
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against,
the public hearing was declared closed.
Council discussion Discussion followed in which Councilman Scott agreed with
the staff that there is a little need for additional visitor
commercial zoning, Mr. Peterson cited teh parcels along
the freeways that have this zoning and have not been
developed.

THE MUNICIPAL ORGANIZATION the annexation.
ACT OF 1977 (MORGA)
James Brennan Mr. Brennan said he was one of the nine property owners in

Chula Vista increase in taxes the property owners will have to pay if
annexed to Chula Vista; difinition of "island" under the
MORGA Act; if annexed; the unimproved property in the area
will be developed; density will increase; traffic will be
generated; they maintain their own sewers and it would be
costly to have to hook up to the City's sewer system;
attitude of the fire services; people will appeal the an-
nexation approval decision.
Mayor Hyde and the Council voiced their opinions concerning
the proposed annexation, noting the people in the area are
already a part of Chula Vista in that they are using the
public facilities, roads, and recreation program, and
further, that under the fire protection agreement, Chula
Vista is first to respond to any fire in that area.
Daniel Botterman Mr. Botterman said he is representing Rancho San Miguel,
Attorney a general partnership, and the one property owner that did
not take a position on the annexation. Mr. Botterman said
they will be speaking to the County people in July about a
tentative map for this area and asked the effect of the
annexation upon his client's development for this area.
Mayor Hyde smd that when the shift is made, the property
comes under the land use zoning authority of the City of
Chula Vista. Prior to annexation, the zoning of the property
will be determined. Director of Planning Peterson remarked
that the property has been prezoned R-3 (20,000 square foot
lots).

COUNCIL CO~94ENTS
Report on CPO Meeting Councilman Egdahl reported on the meeting held Monday,
June 19 in which they discussed the 208 Water Management
Program and the weighted vote formula. The City of Lemon
Grove has been given two votes based on their population,
and Chula Vista has lost one vote (it now has 4 votes).
Councilman Scott remarked that the redistribution of the
votes was not logical since the City and County of San
Diego are locked in with their votes and when a new City
come in, taking a significant population figure from the
County, a new formula should be adopted.
Motion for letter to CPO It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman
Cox and unanimously carried that the City bring to the
Board of Director of CPO this Council's concern in that
regard as far as annexation rather than a population shift -
that it should be taken from the County rather than a
redistribution of the vote.
ADJOURNMENT Mayor Hyde adjourned the meeting at 10:25 p.m. to the
meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 22, 1978 for the
public hearing on the budget at 7:00 p.m. in the Council
