On August 10, 1977 the Planning Commission certified the Negative Declaration on IS-78-3 and recommended that the City Council rezone the property from R-3 to C-0. Director of Planning Peterson suggested that it might be appropriate to see if Mr. Compton would want to proceed with only three members of the Council present. Marshall Compton In answer to a question from Mr. Compton as to whether 444 Third Avenue a decision can be made this evening, Mayor Hyde explained Chula Vista that it would take a unanimous vote of those present to approve the ordinance amending the zoning map. Mr. Compton elected to proceed with the public hearing. Mr. Compton referenced the fact that the Planning Conunission did recommend that the zoning be changed from R-3 to C-O, but said that he had received a letter from the staff stating various reasons why the staff did not concur with the Planning Commission recommendation: staff felt it would be detrimental to the residential area, would increase traffic, that it would be "strip" commercial zoning, and that expansion of additional commercial office zoning was not warranted. City Council Meeting -4- September 6, 1977 Mr. Compton outlined his reasons for asking that the zone change be approved: (1) Shasta Street is a "line of demarcation" between commercial and residential areas; (2) the entrance will be on Shasta, and the exit will be on Fourth Avenue with right turn only; (3) a real estate office will generate very little traffic - 3 or 4 cars in the parking areas; the EIR, under Items 2, 3 and 4, stated the proposed rezoning is in conformance with the General Plan land use element and the development would not create any adverse effect on the environment. Keith Webb Mr. Webb said he owns the property immediately west of Owner of adjoining the proposed development. Me spoke in favor of rezoning property the property and suggested that the Council consider the entire north side of Shasta for rezoning and the west side of Fig. In answer to a question from Mayor Hyde, Mr. Webb said he does not reside on the property. John (Jack) Scrimiger Mr. Scrimiger said he and his family have lived at this 415 Shasta Street address since 1956 and they have observed the changes Chula Vista from residential to commercial and have agreed with them; however, a protective wall was requested to maintain the residential characteristics. He said there is now a traffic and parking problem. He suggested that no changes be made until the entire area might be re- developed - from Fifth Avenue to the regional center. Staff opposed Director of Planning Peterson said the staff opposed the to rezoning rezoning for the following reasons: (1) it would lead to additional rezoning actions being filed along Shasta and along Fourth Avenue; (2) questionable whether the City can support another healthy commercial strip in view of the small lot sizes; (3) commercial strips have problems in identification, signing, traffic conflicts and for aesthetic reasons; and (4) commercial zones along a thoroughfare such as this create friction with the residential uses. Also, the whole range of traffic- generating uses should be considered if the zoning is changed to C-O; thus, staff recommended against approval as it would not be good zoning practice. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed. Council discussion Council discussion ensued concerning density, traffic problems, Shasta Street as a demarcation line, spot zoning, effect of existing commercial businesses, and the potential for additional requests for rezoning along Fourth Avenue.
