AGAINST CONSTRUCTION OF submitted a petition with 272 signatures to
RESTROOM FACILITY AT BURTON the Council opposing the construction of a
C. TIFFANY PARK restroom facility at the Burton C. Tiffany
Bicentennial Park. He stated the residents in
the area felt the problems associated with
such a facility (vandalism, drug use, graffiti,
etc.) outweigh the benefits as a convenience.
There is also a problem of motor cyclists
in this area who would have access to the
facility. Because of the terrain, the park
is secluded, unfenced, and difficult to patrol
although the Police Department does cooperate
in every way.
Director of Parks and Recreation Director of Parks and Recreation Hall stated
Hall supports statements he agreed with the statements made and sug-
gested that construction of the restroom
could be delayed until after the completion
of "H" Street. He stated he felt the residents
would eventually find there will be a need
for the facility.

minals. He also requested that the City

owed by each Chula Vista citizen.

up on the agenda.
Item 16, a report - not a Mayor Hamilton noted that Item 16 is not a
public hearing public hearing - it is just a report from

ment on this.
Testimony not appropriate City Attorney Lindberg affirmed that this
at this time item is not a public hearing and persons in
opposition to those signing the petition
are not represented at this meeting as there

would not be appropriate that an oral pre-
sentation be made with an introduction of
evidence at this point in time.
Request for item to be Mr. Morud requested that the item be con-
continued tinued to another meeting when developers
can present their side of the case.

w~rd f6r a public fiearing at the direction
of the City Council, then testimony can be
taken. Substantive issues must be discugsed

Chula Vista cerning recommendations on community develop-
ment and asked if the Council had had an oppor-
tunity to collectively or individually arrive
at a conclusion or some feedback.

from the Environmental Control Commission
regarding a moratorium on all growth on units

give consideration to the proposal.

SIDE OF QUINTARD AT TOBIAS DRIVE parcels located north of Quintard Street,
FROM R-3-G-P TO R-1 AND A one on the west side and one on the east side
MORATORIUM IN THE CASTLE PARK of Tobias Drive. On February 20, 1973 both
AREA properties were rezoned from R-S-G-D to
R-3-G-P and precise plan guidelines were
established specifying a density of 10-14
dwelling units per acre and that development
be limited to one and two story structures.
Mr. Peterson commented that the City Attorney's
remarks were geared to the procedure if the
Council wanted to change the zoning on the
property, while the Planning Department
recommendation is that the zoning not be
changed, but to take an action to refine the
density established in 1973 and narrow it
down to assign the specific range not to
exceed 12.4 (units per acre). This is the
same density range being considered in the
area south of Quintard.
Area overbuilt Councilman Egdahl noted that in regard to the
property considered during the public hearing
at the previous meeting, the Council con-
curred that this area generally is extremely
overbuilt and referred to the petition before
the Council with 376 signatures requesting
the area be considered for R-1 zoning.
Motion to refer to It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded
Planning Commission by Councilman Hobel that the Council request
the Planning Commission to consider R-1 zon-
ing for this property and that in fact a
moratorium be declared on development until
that consideration is made through the public
hearing process.
Council discussion Council discussion followed concerning con-
sideration of request from the citizens;
density in the area; that the Council not
give direction to the Planning Commission
but leave the Commission open to make recom-
mendations; and Council concern regarding the
drainage problem.
Motion is appropriate City Attorney Lindberg stated that the motion
was couched in the appropriate legal terms
to begin the legal process for consideration
of the rezoning of the property.
Moratorium legal Further discussion was held concerning a
moratorium over the entire area. City
Attorney Lindberg advised that placing a
moratorium over the entire area during the
study period would be a legally acceptable
approach which could be brought back to the
Council at the next meeting.
City Council Meeting -5- July 13, 1976
Request of City Attorney to Mayor Hamilton asked that Mr. Lindberg clarify
clarify motion for audience the motion for the people in the audience so
there would be no misunderstanding of the legal
process.
City Attorney Llndberg Stated the motion con-
cerns the property north of Quintard which is
subject to the petition submitted. The City
Council has directed that the Planning Department
and Plannlng Commission consider the rezoning
of that property to R-1. Public hearings
will be held for the rezoning and notices will
be sent out to all parties so everybody will
have an equal opportunity, including the pro-
perty owners to make known their interests.
Moratorium clarified As to the moratorium, Mr. Lindberg clarified
that at the next meeting, a Resolution would
be brought back imposing a moratorium, and
should the Council make that direction, a
resolution imposing a moratorium on both the
properties north and south of Quintard would
be brought back.

guidelines.
Area to be defined by staff Mayor Hamilton noted that the area in question
would be defined by staff at the next meeting.

was taken to ask the Planning Commission to con-
sider R-S-L with the possibility of the "P"
designator on the property discussed during the
public hearing (south of Quintard between First

AMENDING SECTIONS 9.12.010 AND are required under State law. Other sections
9.12.040 THEREOF AND ADDING of the ordinance relate to the means for
NEW SECTIONS 9.12.120 THROUGH achieving the limitations mandated by the
9.12.240 RELATING TO THE REMOVAL State Legislature. The ordinance closely
OF THE PROHIBITION AGAINST THE follows that of the County and the City of
PLAYING OF BINGO BY CERTAIN San Diego with the exception that the
PARTIES - FIRST READING appeal procedure for denial or revocation of
a license has been altered to conform to
the procedures used in the City of Chula
Vista relative to business license denial
or revocation.
The Council discussed various provisions
of the ordinance: 1) the limitation of
the value of the prizes which may not ex-
ceed $2S0 for any game (City Attorney
Lindberg clarified that the limitation re-
ferred to any one of the number of games
that may take place during the course of a
day or evening); 2) no provision made for
any special function - a one-time special
function to raise funds with perhaps a re-
quest for waiver of fees - (Mr. Lindberg
said the Legislature made no provision
for such special functions); S) the limit
on the number of days that an organization
can hold games (games can be played on a
daily basis - limitations are a matter of
local option at this time); 4) license
is issued to an individual and is not
transferable (a provision required under
state law); S) games to be conducted only

City Council Meeting -11- July 13, 1976
into the City, secure a charter, apply for
a license and start running bingo games,
with this being his only purpose for coming
to Chula Vista. He felt that with no limi-
tations, operation of bingo games could
become a big gambling venture in the City.
The Council discussed with the City Attorney
concerns over potential abuses and limi-
tations or restrictions that might be imposed
to preclude abuses.
Motion for limitation It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded
on residence and period by Councilman Cox that a limitation be set
of operation of a period of no less than two years for

operated within the City of Chula Vista

that there would be various organizations
in the City that people belong to who may
not be residents of the City.
