5. PUBLIC HEARING - In a written statement, Director of Planning Peterson
CONSIDERATION OF AN noted that on July 27, 1976 the City Council accepted
AMENDblENT TO THE a report from the Planning Department recommending a
MUNICIPAL CODE TO zoning text amendment which would permit an increase
PE~IT MULTIPLE- in the percentage of kitchens allowed in a motel (cur-
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL rently limited to a maximum of 30%) within a C-T zone,
DEVELOPMENT IN THE provided the motel does not exceed the density permitted
C-T DISTRICT in the R-3 zone (one unit per 1,350 square feet, 32 units
per acre maximum). The increase above 30% would be
subject to the conditional use permit procedure. The
Council directed the staff to prepare a zoning text
amendment for consideration.
In investigating this matter further, it was determined
by staff that the best way to accomplish this is to
actually list apartments as a conditional use in the
C-T zone and require that development conform to normal
R-3 standards. In order to preserve the thoroughfare
frontage for commercial use, the amendment prohibits
apartments in the first 200 feet of the C-T zone.
On November g, 1976 the Planning Commission recommended
that the Council approve the amendment in accordance
with their Resolution PCA-76-9.
Council discussion Council discussion ensued concerning the 200 foot set-
back requirements and compatibility of development in
the 200 foot setback with apartments to the rear.
~Ir. Peterson indicated that generally speaking the depth
of C-T zoning along Broadway does not exceed 200 feet
and beyond that the land use transitions into a residen-
tial category. This amendment preserves that generally
prevailing condition even on the properties that do
exceed 200 feet in depth.
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor
Hamilton opened the public hearing.
Public hearing closed There being no comments, either for or against, the
public hearing was declared closed.

HILLTOP DRIVE AND of Public Works Robens stated that staff concurred with
THIRD AVENUE - the Safety Commission recommendation for reflectorization
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC along the curvature of "L" Street which will be added in
WORKS/CITY ENGINEER the very near future. Staff also concurred with the in-
stallation of traffic signals at First and Second on "L"
Street, however, staff recommended that these signals
be considered along with other projects at budget
hearings when the Council adopts the Capital Improvement
Program for next year's budget.
18. RECO~ENDATION ON TRAFFIC On November 16, 1976 the City Council referred to the
CONDITIONS ON "L" STREET Safety Commission a petition presented by Mr. Warren
BETWEEN HILLTOP DRIVE AND Pearson of 156 "L" Street, protesting the traffic con-
THIRD AVENUE - SAFETY ditions on "L" Street between Hilltop Drive and Third
CO~ISSION Avenue. After review and investigation, tho Safety
Commission in a written report recommended that traffic
signals be installed at First and "L" and at Second and
"L" as expeditiously as possible, and that "L" Street be
roflectorized between the 200 and 300 block to delineate
the arc of curvature.
Warren Pearson Mr. Pearson stated he was speaking in opposition to the
156 "L" Street conclusions presented in the staff report. He said the
Chula Vista committee of petitioners disagreed with this report and
felt the facts were inaccurate. He commented on the
accident problem and the number of unrecorded accidents,
noise factors, property values being decreased and number
of homes sold along this street. ~r. Pearson urged the
Council to consider the recommendation of the Safety
Commission and approve the installation of traffic
signals immediately.
Ernest Arnold ~. Arnold said he was speaking as a private citizen in
897 Beech Avenue favor of the installation of traffic signals. He com-
Chula Vista pared the residential aspects and traffic volume of
"L" Street between I-5 and Telegraph Canyon Road to
those on "E" Street and "H" Street, commented on the
speed problem, and compared the cost of increased traffic
patrol to the cost of installing signals.
Staff comments Director of PubIic Works Robens referred to his report
stating it was hi5 opinion that the construction of
traffic signals at First and Second on "L" Street would
provide some element of safety and that speed and acci-
dents would be reduced. He said the staff has no objec-
tions to the installation of the signals provided that
it does not take away from the installation of other
needed signals in the City with higher priorities.
Council discussion Council discussion followed concerning costs factors,
comparison of accident rates at various intersections,
speed control, problem caused by curvature of "L" Street,
the warrant system, noise and pollution factors, visi-
bility problems cause by parked cars near driveways,
traffic control by synchronization of signals, priority
listing for signals and funding sources.
City Council Meeting -6- December 7, 1976
Motion to install signals It was moved by Councilman Hyde and seconded by
Councilman Hobel that the staff be directed to proceed
with plans for the installation of two stop lights at
the intersection of "L" and First and Second Avenues,
integrated into the grid system, with the staff to indi-
cate their recommendations for the source of funding for
the projects.
Council discussion Discussion continued concerning the increase in noise
and pollution levels casued by installation of signals,
priority listing of signals in the City, various sources
of funding, criteria used in warrant system, and unusual
factors involved in the segment of "L" Street under
consideration.
Motion carried The motion as made to install signals at "L" Street and
First and Second Avenues carried unanimously.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE EL that no further plans will be considered for development,
RANCHO DEL REY AREA other than those already approved through the tentative
(EXHIBIT #2) stage, until the matter of the assessment district has
been established and Hillside development standards
resolved.
City Council Meeting -7- December 7, 1976
City Attorney Lindberg stated that the original resolu-
tion (Exhibit No. 1) was revised (Exhibit No. 2) to
define the area in more precise but still general terms
as that general area between 1-80S and Otay Lakes Road
and Bonita Road and Telegraph Canyon Road. He added that
it should be understood that the policy declaration as
contained in the resolution is simply a reiteration of
the policy expressed by the State Subdivision Map Act
requiring that the design of subdivisions properly fit
into the overall plan of the region, be compatible with
adjacent developments, and be consistent with the City's
general plan requirements that public facilities be
available.
Council discussion Discussion ensued concerning the schedule regarding the
establishment of the assessment district, potential
density of developments under present zoning, problems
of prospective developers in buying property due to costs
based on values for high density, progress of ACCORD in
making a recommendation regarding ridges and canyons,
concerns over widening of Telegraph Canyon Road, the
possibility of a series of assessment districts to pro-
vide for the adequate sharing of costs for streets and
public facilities, and the application of the Hillside
Ordinance.
The Council concurred that once the ridges and canyons to
be preserved have been identified and overlayed on the P-C
zone, that it does, in effect, establish and resolve tile
application of the Hillside Modifying District.
Motion for Council It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded by Councilman
Conference Egdahl and unanimously carried that a Council Conference
be set for December 16 at 3:30 p.m. for the staff presen-
tation on ridges and canyons and to consider the recom-
mendation or "no recommendation" from ACCORD.
Resolution (Exhibit The revised resolution identified as Exhibit No. 2 was
No. 2) offered offered by Councilman Hyde with modification to the last
paragraph, line 3, deleting the words "~hall not accept
or oon~ider" and substituting therein the words 'mill
not approve."
Councilman Hobel suggested an additional modification to
line 6 of the last paragraph adding the words '~p reim-
bureement procedures" after the words '~ntil the matter
of the a~es~ment district." Councilman Hyde agreed to
offer the resolution with this additional modification.
Carmen Pasquale, Mr. Pasquale commented on the overlay of ridges and
representing canyons in the application of the hillside development
E1 Rancho del Rey standards and asked that this be clarified in the reso-
lution. He suggested that the reference to the hillside
development standards be eliminated and to substitute the
identification of the ridges and canyons on the P-C map
as accepted by Council.
City Council Meeting -8- December 7, 1976
In answer to a query from Councilman Hyde, ~lr. Pasquale
stated that the staff received their amended general
development plan which includes figures for open space
and density. He again discussed the wording of the
resolution indicating it was too restrictive.
Resolution to City Attorney Lindberg said that the resolution was
be restrictive intended to be restrictive and if the Council made too
many modifications, the point of the policy statement
will not be achieved.
Offer of resolution Councilman Hyde offered the resolution with modifica-
restated tions so that the last two paragraphs will read as
follows:
'~HEREAS, it has further been determined that
proper evaluation of the level of public facili-
ties required in the El Rancho del Rey area is
dependent upon the resolution of the applica-
tion of ffillside development standards through
identification of ridges and canyons to be
preserved.
NOW~ THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City
Council does hereby declare and establish in
accordance with the State Planning Act as a
policy of the Council that the City will not
approve any further plans for development in
the El Rancho del Rey project, other than
those already approved through the tentative
stage, until the matter of the assessment
district or reimbursement procedure and the
application of the Hillside development stan-
dards through identification of ridges and
canyons to be preserved has been established
and resolved."

City Council Meeting -11- December 7, 1976
Mr. Peterson recommended that the Council direct staff
to undertake a study of these R-3 zones in the City as
a complete and significant program which would lead to
a number of changes in the zoning ordinance, with par-
ticular attention to be given to mobile home parks and
school sites. (A complete copy of the report is on file
