PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTION
3. PUBLIC HEARING - Director of Planning Peterson submitted a written
CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL OF report stating that on September 28, 1976 the Council
V & V DEVELOPMENT COMPANY referred to the Planning Commission the question of
FROM PI~kNNING CObBIlSSION the propriety of the R-3 zone on 3.5 acres of property
ACTION DENYING A REZONING on the west side of Edgemere Avenue approximately
FROM R-3 AND R-3-F TO R-3 opposite the KOA Campground.
AND R-3-G-F OR OTHER R-3
DISTRICT FOR A 3.5 ACRE
PROPERTY ON THE WEST SIDE OF On October 18, 1976 the Planning Commission recommended
EDGEMERE AVENUE APPROXIMATELY that the General Plan designation on the property not
OPPOSITE THE KOA CAalPGROUND be changed from "Research and Limited Industrial" to
"High Density Residential." The Commission also
denied the proposal to rezone the subject property
from R-3 and R-3-F to R-3-G and R-3-G-F or other R-3
district. This is presently being appealed by the
applicant.
Mr. Peterson noted the petition submitted to the
Planning Commission signed by 119 people in the area
favoring the rezoning of the property to Limited
Industrial with the P zone attached.
Council discussion In answer to the Mayor's query, Mr. Peterson said the
property has been zoned R-3 for the past several years.
Council discussion followed regarding the types of
industrial uses permitted under the Limited Industrial
zone; access to the site; realignment of Edgemere
and the small parcel that may be left to the east of
this road; the date of the application - May 7, 1976.
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, ~layor
Hamilton opened the public hearing.
Walter Schwerin Mr. Schwerin presented the Council with a petition
Schwerin, Xinos & Associates containing the signatures of 200 apartment dwellers
Consulting Engineer that are in favor of the concept (apartment complex).
1400 Sixth Avenue
San Diego
He also submitted and discussed in detail his supple-
mental report of the land use studies that were pre-
pared by City Staff. Mr. Schwerin said he doubted
the value of the staff's study and the comments enclosed
in the study.
Mr. Schwerin referred to a plot plan of the area
noting the street design, traffic and noise generation
which ~ould be caused by the industrial use, the uses
that may go in on the property, the schools, parks,
topograph of the site, and the grade of Edgemere Ave-
nue which he stated was designed for a residential street.
City Council Meeting -3- November 9, 1976
Mr. Schwerin declared that there would be 50 trips
a day per 1,000 square feet of gross area generated
by industrial usage.
Council questions Director of Public Works Robens declared that it is
not true that Edgemere was designed specifically for
residential - there were constraints on the design
of the road due to the natural topography. Mr.
Robens commented that the gradient is not 12% as
noted by ~r. Schwerin, but perhaps an 8% average
with a maximum gradient of 10% to 12%.
Sydney Xinos Mr. Xinos noted that the 50 trips a day per 1,000
Schwerin, Xinos & Associates square feet of gross industrial area is the figure
used by the City of San Diego for both commercial
and light industrial use.
Mr. Xinos detailed the background of this proposed
development and staff contact. When the five poten-
tial faults were discovered in the area, the owner
initiated a soils report. This report addressed the
residential development and stated there were not
active faults and there would be no problem with the
development. Mr. Xinos further explained the environ-
mental impact report, and the time element involved
in the present delay of V & V Development Company's
potential development. He asked that the Council
allow the development to proceed.
Speaking against the appeal Speaking against the development were George Ronis,
I71 North Del Mar Avenue; Peter Watry, 81 Second
Avenue; Dean Dunphy, resident of San Diego and owner
of the property to the west, known as Industrial
Park; R. L. Batterton, 209 Nixon Place; Ted Bell,
owner of the KOA Campgrounds adjacent to the site
and Peter DeGraaf, owner of adjacent property.
Their reasons for opposition were: 1) the issue is
one of perpetrating an error in zoning which could do
irreparable injury to the City; 2) there is no opti-
mum use for the property; 5) the property is proposed
for purchase by the V & V Development Company - they
do not presently own it; 4) it is not suited for
high density; 5) problem with the schools in the
area being overcrowded now; 6) traffic that will be
generated; 7) no place for the children to play; 8)
the Sweetwater Industrial Park will be in conflict
with the proposed development; 9) equity lies with
the owner of the property - Trousdale Estates; 10)
water runoff from this property will be dumped into
the Sweetwater Industrial Park area; 11) the developers
are presenting the most for the least; 12) construction
of sidewalks.
Rebuttal Mr. Schwerin stated they are not legally bound to
take water from their property to an underground
conveyance. If the project is approved, they will
take water out the same way it is coming out now and
it will be dissipated in three different locations.
Jim Bensky Mr. Bensky said he represents Trousdale Enterprises.
San Diego The property was marketed in 1975. An initial offer
was made which perpetuated the soils report. It is
the developer and lender who should determine the
feasibility of the project since they are the ones
who will be putting up the money.

struction in the area; need for low-cost housing in

Mayor Hamilton expressed the Council's concern for
the drainage problem in the area and the steepness
of the second driveway which he felt should be ad-
dressed in the motion.

MAP FOR EL RANCHO DEL REY acres of property located north of Telegraph Canyon
UNIT NO. S Road east of Crest Drive into 343 single family
residential lots and four open space lots. At the
request of the Planning Commission and staff, the
developer has added an additional lot of approxi-
mately 21 acres adjacent to Telegraph Canyon Road
which is designated for future residential land use.
The Planning Commission, on October 4, 197~ voted to
recommend to the Council that tentative map for E1
Rancho del Rey Unit No. S be approved in accordance
with Planning Commission Resolution No. PCS-76-6.
The Planning Commission noted that the tentative
map was to be considered as the precise plan as well.
Director of Planning Peterson spoke briefly on the
background of Council direction concerning development
of the E1 Rancho del Rey area, the expanded role of
ACCORD, consideration of establishing an assessment
district, school district needs, and the issue of
City Council bieeting -6- November 9, 1976
disagreement between the Planning Commission and
staff concerning lots fronting on the collector
street Pasco del Rey.
Planning Supervisor Lee discussed the proposed develop-
ment including extension of "J" Street, boundaries of
the proposed subdivision, possible site of high school,
fault line, ridges and canyon topography, grading, and
the drainage channel system. He noted that the pro-
posed development of 343 units is the exact number
that would be allowed under the R-1-H zone. The
original plan submitted was for 329 lots, but with
suggested revisions, they gained 14 lots. He con-
cluded with comments on the development standards,
open space use, and street names.
Director of Public Works Robens outlined concerns of
the Public Works Department and commented on 1) the
establishment of an assessment district for construc-
tion of major facilities and alternatives if no dis-
trict is formed; 2) the estimated high volume of
traffic that will be generated on Telegraph Canyon
Road between Pasco del Rey and Otay Lakes Road (11,000
vehicles per day), right of way problems, 3) deletion
of "J" Street alignment, and the requirement for
traffic signal at the intersection of Telegraph Canyon
Road and Pasco del Rey.

S5S5 Magnatron Boulevard subdivision from the developer's standpoint discussing
San Diego street patterns, land use, open space, density of 3.4
(Representing E1 Rancho dwelling units per acre, grading considerations,
del Rey) traffic patterns, noise levels, lots fronting on
collector streets to have "T" type driveways, street
improvements with and without an assessment district,
and right of way situation~ He said the developers
are requesting that the Council adopt the Planning
Commission recommendation with clarification as to
improvement requirements if no assessment district is
established: to limit improvement requirements on
Telegraph Canyon Road to only those improvements
required as part of the subdivision itself.
Carmen Pa~quale Mr. Pasquale said he would like to clarify a point in
Otay Land Company connection with a question from Councilman Hyde re-
El Rancho del Rey garding Pasco del Rey having "T" driveways in that
the Planning Commission took the same position on
three occasions; otherwise the whole map would have to
be redesigned, and more grading would have to be done.
He also commented on the addition of Douglas Street
on staff recommendation and asked that houses be per-
mitted to remain on both sides to compensate for
putting the road in.
City Council Meeting -7- November 9, 1976

and canyons been held with the Otay Land Company and a fifth is
scheduled for next Friday, (November 12) and it is
anticipated that the first meeting with ACCORD will
be on Wednesday of next week to discuss preservation
of canyons and ridges, but that most of those meriting
preservation will not fall within the E1 Rancho del
Rey Unit #5. It was felt that most of the significant
canyons and ridges are north of "J" Street. However,
final decision on this may be several months away.
Council discussion Council discussion ensued concerning the R-1-H
standards, whether this development conforms to the
Hillside District, density, grading, bike lanes, the
canyon and ridges study, traffic patterns, safety
concerns, subdivision standards, the lots fronting
on Paseo del Rey, and the extension of Douglas Street.

possibly planned along Paseo del Rey north of "J"
Street to "H" Street, "T" driveways in other areas,
traffic problems when traffic volume reaches 10 to
12 thousand cars per day, development standards~
increased grading if design is changed, and whether
other designs had been considered.
