Public Works of the subdivision for which the developers have requested
a deferral. Referring to his written report to Council,
Mr. Robens recommended denial of the request indicating
approval would be precedent setting and contrary to the
City's Code. Further, no extraordinary conditions or
unnecessary hardships exist which warrant the granting of
the deferral.
Gary Lipska Mr. Lipska said he is representing Toups Corporation. He

La Jolla garding the linear feet required for undergrounding the
improvements which was noted as 600 feet. Mr. Lipska

grounding 600 feet if it is adjacent to the subdivision.

56 units and is planned for R-2 zoning - duplexes. The

ever, a rough estimate is $85.00 per linear foot or
$900 per unit.
Council discussion Council discussed the fact that the request for the
deferral of undergrounding the utilities is based on a

19. REPORT ON THE DESIR- Director of Planning Peterson submitted a written report
ABILITY OF REZONING in which he referred to the Council's directive to staff
RESIDENTIAL LANDS IN to study the desirability of rezoning the R-I, R-2 and
THE CHULA VISTA SHOPPING R-3 lands located within the territory bounded by "H"
CENTER AREA TO C-C, and "I" Streets, and Fourth and Fifth Avenues, to C-C.
CENTRAL COMMERCIAL ZONE
Mr. Peterson stated that the staff reviewed the zoning,
land use, and circulation patterns of the area and studied
the applicable General Plan policy along with making a
field survey of the residential uses fronting upon
Shasta Street and upon Fig, Guava and Fourth Avenues to
determine the character of the residential area.
In summary, it was the staff's recommendation that the
expansion of the Chula Vista Shopping Center can be best
pursued by exploring the possibility of closing Fifth
Avenue, using air rights over Fifth Avenue, and utilizing
decked parking and/or multi-storied buildings.
City Council Meeting -8- September 13, 1977
Council's comments Councilman Scott said it was his observation that a
significant amount of these properties was purchased
five or six years ago by people who were anticipating
that the area would go commercial. Referring to Mr.
Peterson's statement that it was doubtful a private
developer would acquire the 80 separate parcels for the
extension of the shopping area because of the high cost
of the land, Councilman Scott indicated this was conjec-
ture and that the staff's report was too negative. He
felt there should be a more in-depth analysis and study
made of the area.
Mayor Pro Tempore Hobel felt that the staff and Council
should be looking at the east side of the street also as
it moves within a half block of the regional center (Third
and "H" Streets).
Councilman Egdahl commented on that fact if the properties
are zoned commercial, it would raise the property taxes
of the homes in the area - some of which are owned by
people on fixed incomes.
Motion to pursue rezoning It was moved by Councilman Scott that this matter be
referred to the Planning staff and Planning Commission
to rezone the area to commercial with a Precise designa-
tion - "P" zone - Precise Plan.
No second to motion The motion died for lack of a second.
Survey proposed Councilman Egdahl questioned the possibility of conducting
a survey in the area and find out the number of homes
that are privately owned, the number that are rented,
the number of privately-owned homes that are owned by
persons of fixed incomes, and to offer in the fact sheet
what is being considered and what it might do to the
homeowners' properties (tax bills, etc.)
Mr. Peterson said that this survey could be made by mail.
Motion for survey It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by Council-
man Cox that this survey be conducted.
Included in motion Mayor Pro Tempore Hobel asked that the motion include
incorporating the east side of the street as well,up to
6arrett Avenue.
Motion carried Councilman Egdahl included this in his motion; Council-
man Cox agreed to the second and the motion carried
unanimously carried by those present.
Fifth Avenue closing Mayor Pro Tempore Hohel declared that the recommendation to
close Fifth Avenue is to be handled as a separate matter
and the City Manager will give the Council an update at
the next meeting.
20. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER
a. Recommendation on City Manager Cole submitted a written report explaining
using Goode's that the Bonita Optimist Club is currently negotiating a

Con. unity Service area abutting Rohr Park on the east, known as the goode

City Council Meeting -9- September 13, 1977

such as compatibility within the surrounding community

of Supervisors offering conceptual support of the proposal.
Possible Conflict Councilman Cox informed the Council that he is a member
of Interest of this Optimist Club. City Attorney Lindberg stated that
Councilman Cox should not disqualify himself from voting
on this matter. Mr. Lindberg added that he has sent the
Council a memo and an article from the BAR JOURNAL which
indicates that there are things other than financial
interests that may have a very heavy impact on the vote
of the legislature.
Motion to approve It was moved by Mayor Pro Tempore Hobel, seconded by
in concept Councilman Scott and unanimously carried by those present
that a letter be prepared for the Mayor's signature to
be sent to the County Board of Supervisors offering con-
ceptual support of the proposal.
20. b. Alley improvements - City Manager Cole remarked that the staff planned to
Block Grant Funds conduct a tour of these alleys sometime this month;
however, a portion of the Council has been absent various
times of the month and now the tour is scheduled for
later on in the Fall. Mr. Cole asked that the members
of the Council, on their own, look at the alleys next
week and indicate their desires concerning the proposed
improvements.

Cox and unanimously carried by those present that the
report be accepted - that the Council look at the alleys
and take action on September 20, 1977.

OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE to the Council in which he detailed the proposed .83
PROPOSED BRADLEY acre annexation at the northwest corner of Bonita Road
ANNEXATION and Bonita Mesa Road. In the report, Mr. Peterson noted
several items of concern with this requested annexation
which he felt necessitated the requirement for a clear
annexation policy for this portion of the Sweetwater
Valley.

directed to file the annexation with the Local Agency
Formation Commission and to have the City Attorney
prepare a resolution setting forth a City annexation
policy for the area.

staff recommendations Cox and unanimously carried by those present that the
staff recommendations be accepted.

end.
