Wade Mr. Wade stated he was representing the 30 Via Nomentana California Mobile Homeowners League and Chula Vista addressed the Council concerning the fact that the ordinance on the utility tax exemption does not apply to senior citi- zens living in mobile homes as the mobile home parks are on master meters.

PUBLIC HEARING - On April 8, 1976 the City Council held CONSIDERATION OF AM£NDMSNT a Council Conference to consider standards TO MUNICIPAL CODE TO DEFINE for boarding and lodging houses and ten- GROUP R~SIDENCE AND ESTABLISH tative standards were referred to the STANDARDS FOR GROUP RESIDENCES Planning Commission and staff for review and recommendation. The proposed stan- dards are a culmination of the tentative standards designed to provide the necessary framework from which individual applications could be'evaluated on a case by case basis. Discussion of standards Director of Planning Peterson noted cri- teria considered for terms to be used, requirements for square footage for sleeping areas, density control, parking and open space requirements, and referred to recom- mendations of the Planning Commission as shown in Exhibit "A" of Resolution No. PCA-76-5 submitted to the Council by the Commission. Mr. Peterson stated that following a public hearing the Planning Commission voted on June 21 to recommend that the Council adopt the standards con- tained in their Exhibit "A". City Council Meeting -3- July 20, 1976 Councilman Egdahl questioned the provision in the ordinance on Page 4, paragraph "C" - Separation - stating he felt this did not give any guidelines to the Planning Com- mission. Council discussion followed concerning this standard, the standard covered under paragraph "G" - License - (also on page 4) the standard of the number of roomers and boarders allowed, and off-street parking requirements, including guest parking requirements. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as adver- tised, the public hearing was opened by Mayor Hamilton. Ms. Nancy Lawe Ms. Lawe said she had been asked to speak 165 Brightwood for a group of people in the audience who Chula Vista were in favor of the ordinance. At Mayor Hamilton's request several persons raised their hands to signify that they were in favor of the ordinance. Ms. Lawe said that the group concurs with the classification of "group residences" and were also in agreement with the pro- posed standards discussed at the public hearing held by the Planning Commission. She asked if the Council would be consider- ing garage conversions and license require- ments. The group was particularly interes- ted in licenses for homes where senior citizens, minor children, mental patients, etc. were being cared for. William Cannon As the Attorney for the First Baptist 303 "A" Street, Suite 201 Church, Mr. Cannon outlined the following San Diego points of disagreement with the proposed standards: 1) The concept of group living and apartments are not the same and density and parking requirements based on R-3 standards for apartments should not be applied to group residences. Mr. Cannon asked that consideration be given to the difference in living areas required (i.e., dining and kitchen areas), and that the Planning Commission be permitted to decrease parking allowances as well as increase them in considering conditional use permit applications. 2) The clause under para- graph "G" - Separation - should be dropped. 3) Licensing standard is ambiguous - the wording "when such residence includes the caring for unrelated minor children . ." should be clarified. 4) Periodic inspec- tion should be spelled out to show that building, fire and zoning inspections are made for that purpose only and not be an "invasion of privacy." Council discussion ensued concerning the points brought up by Mr. Cannon. Bobbie Morris Ms. Morris commented on the fact that 862 Cedar parking spaces permitted in one instance Chula Vista may not apply if a house is sold or if people move. City Council Meeting -4- July 20, 1976 Ellen Hallack Ms. Hallack noted that her neighborhood 420 Westby had experienced a great increase in the Chula Vista number of cars parked as the apparent result of an invitation to the public to visit the group residences in Chula Vista. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. Council discussion Council discussion followed concerning the number of bedrooms required, having the conditional use permit expire when group residence is terminated, the Planning Commission being permitted to decrease as well as increase parking requirements, and the licensing requirements. City will not City Attorney Lindberg clarified that the issue licenses license requirement would comply with the laws of the State and County, but that the City would not issue licenses, or make evaluations of the type of care required for children or other groupings. EIR certified It was moved by Councilman Cox and seconded by Councilman Egdahl and unanimously carried by those present that the Council certify the Hnvironmental Impact Report, EIR-75-2 Motion to increase It was moved by Councilman Cox and seconded or decrease parking by Councilman Egdahl that paragraph "B" requirements on parking (Sec. 19.58.172) be amended to allow the Planning Commission to increase or decrease the number of spaces required based on the facts presented in the con- ditional use permit application. In answer to comments from Mayor Hamilton and Councilman Cox, City Attorney Lindberg stated that to reduce the parking require- ments would not in any way preclude the acquisition of additional motor vehicles by residents, and there is no restriction as to parking of vehicles on the public street, which is open to all parties. Councilman Egdahl stated that in light of Mr. Lindberg's points, which he considered good ones, his intention is to vote against the motion even though he had seconded it. The motion failed The motion failed by the following vote, to-wit: Ayes: Councilmen Cox, Hobel NOES: Mayor Hamilton, Councilman Hobel Absent: Councilman Hyde Motion to amend It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded Paragraph "G" - by Councilman Egdahl and unanimously carried License by those present that paragraph "G" - License - (Section 19.58.172) be amended to read "Proper licenses shall be obtained by anyone living in the group residence" period -- all other parts of the paragraph to be deleted.

PUBLIC HEARING - In March 1976 the City Council considered CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT a request to allow bulky retail uses in TO MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW the industrial zones and referred the BULKY RETAIL SALES IN matter to the Planning Commission. Director INDUSTRIAL ZONES of Planning Peterson stated in a written report that the Code presently allows certain commercial uses within the indus- trial zones as "accessory uses," and other commercial uses are allowed subject to approval of a conditional use permit. The uses contemplated in this proposed amendment are uses that have a tendency to overlap the commercial and industrial classification. The staff concurred with the Planning Commission recommendation that the Council certify the Negative Declaration IS-76-32 and adopt the amendments. In answer to a query from Councilman Egdahl, Director of Planning Peterson stated that the parking requirements are related to the use, rather than to the zone, so the off-street parking requirement would be the same in the Commercial zone or Indus- trial zone.

AND ADOPTION A moratorium area was also to be defined in the broader Castle Park Community with a view toward asking the County Board of Supervisors to establish a moratorium in the unincorporated area to permit a study to determine if streets, schools and public facilities are adequate under the present zoning. Amendment presented by staff City Attorney Lindberg clarified that the moratorium is in regard to multiple family projects - R-3 projects - as shown in the amendment presented to Council by staff and that projects or subdivisions that have received the approval of the City Planning Commission and/or the City Council in the past 90 days would be exempt from the moratorium. Jim Patten Mr. Patten said he represented a project 580 Third Avenue on Kennedy Street for which they had Chula Vista started plans in February of 1975 and which would be affected by the moratorium. Mayor Hamilton clarified to Mr. Patten that since his project had already received approval from the Planning Commission, it would be exempt from the moratorium. Moratorium can be lifted Councilman Hobel questioned if the mora- at the discretion of the torium would be lifted on the two parcels Council prior to 90 days at Quintard and Tobias prior to the ex- piration of the 90 day period if a decision is reached by the Council following the public hearing process and report from the Planning Commission scheduled to be presented to the Council on August 24, 1976.

Royer Mr. Royer stated he was representing Roy 3005 Fourth Avenue and Becky Winder who own property within Chula Vista the area affected by the proposed mora- torium, and which property they are in the process of selling for development. The buyer has submitted plans but the process has not been completed for approval.

Margaret Schutte Ms. Schutte spoke in favor of the moratorium 1376 Tobias Drive and urged the Council to adopt it, to pre- Chula Vista vent the same type of development in Chula Vista that has happened in New York City. Norman Starr Mr. Starr stated he is the prospective 824 Jamaica Court buyer of the Winder property and requested San Diego that this property be exempt from the moratorium, in view of the work already done on his plan, even though it has not yet received Planning Commission approval. Ray Vellinga Mr. Vellinga spoke concerning the Green- 5109 Hilda Road Vellinga project on the north side of San Diego Quintard and both sides of Tobias. Ne stated the moratorium was coming at the wrong time as they would like to move ahead with their project and the morator- ium would cause a hardship for them at this time.
