ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Newton Chaney Mr. Chaney thanked the Mayor, the City Council,
292 Sea Vale Street and the City Manager for providing the opportunity
for the two Council candidates to attend the
League of California Cities institute workshop
for new mayors and new councilmen.
Hal Coupar Mr. Coupar introduced Miss Jo Ann Giacalone, who
Chula Vista Jaycees was selected last Sunday as "Miss Chula Vista."
Miss Giacalone resides at 148 Millan Street and
attends Hilltop High School as a senior.
Greg Cox Mr. Cox expressed his appreciation, along with
647 Windsor Circle Mr. Chaney, to the Council for sending them to the
League of California Cities workshop, which he
stated was a very rewarding experience.
Clay Morud Mr. Morud addressed the Council concerning the
32 Plymouth Court petition and letter requesting rezoning of property
at Tobias and Quintard. (Item No. 17 on the Agenda).
He stated it was his understanding the Planning
Department had recommended that no action be taken
on the rezoning request and that the EIR report
be accepted.
Council procedure Mayor Hamilton explained that in accepting the
clarified report under "staff recommendation," the Council
only accepts the report of the Planning Commission
and this action does not mean the Council is
accepting the EIR report.
Mr. Morud stated his remarks would then only concern
the rezoning, and he reviewed points presented in
the petition for rezohing; they do not understand
the zoning in this area as most homes from Hilltop
to Second and from Palomar to Quintard, they believe,
are zoned R-1 and they do not feel the developer's
plans of t~o story buildings conform to the zoning
ordinance. ~lr. ~lorud asked that the Council con-
sider the rezoning before the developer's plans
are approved.
