PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
4. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSAL TO AMEND LAND
USE ELEMENT OF GENERAL PLAN - OTAY RIVER
& PALM AVENUE, 1-805 AND WESTERLY RANCHO
OTAY (Director of Planning)
RESOLUTION 12385 APPROVING GPA-86-3 FOR THE DESIGNATION OF
APPROXIMATELY 566 ACRES AS "LOW DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL," "MEDIUM DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL," AND "PARKS AND PUBLIC OPEN
SPACE"
ORDINANCE 2141 APPROVING PCZ-86-A FOR THE PREZONING OF
APPROXIMATELY 566 ACRES AS "F-l"
(FLOODWAY ZONE) AND "A-8" (AGRICULTURAL
ZONE) - FIRST READING
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox declared
the public hearing open.
The City of Chula Vista, on behalf of certain property owners, has
initiated the reorganization of approximately 566 acres of
territory, generally located between the Otay River and the
easterly extension of the Palm Avenue right-of-way, and between
1-805 and the westerly line of the Rancho Otay in the City of San
Diego, with the Local Agency Formation Commission. This proposed
reorganization, called the "Otay Valley-Palm Avenue
Reorganization," involves the deannexation of the subject acreage
from the City of San Diego and the annexation of the said acreage
to Chula Vista. The proposed General Plan amendment and prezoning
would enable these processes to move forward.
Planning Director Krempl submitted transparencies depicting the
project boundaries and discussed: reorganization was initiated by
the City Council in November 1985; San Diego City Council
requested additional staff followup and study; pre-zoning approved
by the Planning Comission on January 2, 1986; City of San Diego
Rules Committee will consider reorganization on March 17; EIR was
prepared by the City of San Diego; approximately 30% of property
owners in the area have signed a petition in favor of this
reorganization.
Director Krempl recommended Council approve GPA-86-3 AND PCZ-86-A,
in accordance with the recommendation of the Planning Commission
and certify that the Otay Mesa Community Plan/EIR has been
prepared in compliance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines,
and consider the EIR as it reaches a decision on the project.
Minutes 4 February 25, 1986
In response to Councilwoman McCandliss's question, Director Krempl
explained in terms of reorganization, it is possible to have
zoning which is more restrictive than what is reflected in the
General Plan. An interior designation of "agricultural floodway"
is not restrictive. Any designation between that and what is
ultimately reflected in the General Plan would be appropriate.
There being no public testimony, the Mayor closed the public
hearing.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILWOMAN MCCANDLISS, the reading of the
text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved
unanimously.
MSUC (McCandliss/Malcolm) to place the ordinance on first reading.
5. PUBLIC HEARING APPEAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PCC-86-16; REQUEST TO CONVERT SERVICE
STATION INTO MINI-MARKET WITH SELF-SERVICE
GASOLINE AT 495 TELEGRAPH CANYON ROAD -
ATLANTIC RICHEIELD COMPANY (Director of
Planning)
RESOLUTION 12386 DENYING CUP PCC-86~16 FOR MINI-MARKET AND
SELF-SERVICE GAS AT 495 TELEGRAPH CANYON
ROAD
This being the time and place as advertised, the Mayor declared
the public hearing open.
Director Krempl submitted transparencies stating the applicant
proposes to discontinue the auto repair service and convert and
remodel the entire building into a retail market. The pump
islands are to remain and be changed into self-service only. The
proposed conversion results in the market becoming a major use of
the property, together with gas sales. The applicant also
proposes to replace the pole sign with a monument sign which
measures 15-1/2 feet long and has an overall height of 5-1/2
feet. Regarding traffic generation, the estimated average daily
trips (ADT) on Telegraph Canyon Road at the freeway interchange is
24,760, compared to 49,780 projected at that location in 1995.
Staff concluded there has been no change in circumstance since
1981 when the Commission and Council denied the prior
application. In fact, with the growth in population east of 1-805
since 1981, the subject full service station is even more
important to serve the needs of surrounding residents and freeway
users, and the proposed mini-market is not required to serve those
needs by virtue of the proximity of the other shops in the
Telegraph Canyon Center. Therefore, the recommendation of the
Planning Commission and staff was for denial of the appeal.
Minutes 5 February 25, 1986
Mayor Cox acknowledged receipt of a petition containing 162
signatures of individuals opposing the proposed conversion of the
ARCO station to a mini-market.
C. Samuel Blick, Fairbanks Ranch Plaza, Attorney representing
ARCO, addressed the scope of the project noting: little change in
terms of type of use; station currently operates on a 24-hour
basis; elimination of the auto repair facilities; the site is
being brought up to City's conformance; no evidence to support
arguments opposing the CUP; market study has been prepared by
ARCO; over 750 mini-market sites currently operating and none have
failed; anticipated increase in traffic is unfounded; submitted
petition signed by 91 individuals (70 Chula Vista residents) in
support of this use.
In response to Councilwoman's McCandliss's questions, Mr. Blick
remarked food service operations are a good use adjacent to
freeways and the market study will find that auto repair
facilities do not operate well at freeway entrances.
Mr. Bill Ottman, 2072 Meadowview Lane, Costa Mesa 92627,
representing WJO, Inc., discussed the market study performed on
the project noting: ARCO is concerned with successful projects; a
mathematical review of 230 A.M./P.M. mini-markets has been made;
there are approximately 12,000 residents within a one-mile radius
of this project; compared the 7-11 convenience store and Von's
grocery store located nearby; increased traffic during peak hours
(7-8:30 a.m. and 4-6 p.m.); most auto repair facilities in Chula
Vista are located on Broadway.
In answer to Councilman Scott's question, Mr. Ottman replied an
approximate 15-20% increase in gasoline sales can be attributed to
an accompanying mini-market (or ~50,000 increase).
Mr. Don Chrislock, 349 E. Moss, Chula Vista 92010, owner of the
service station, supported this proposal stating a small
operation cannot support itself without such a use. The station
currently services approximately 1,500 customers per day so
traffic is already there.
In answer to Mayor Cox's questions, Mr. Chrislock pointed out the
following percentages: 15% attributed to auto repair work, 15%
attributed to snack shop sales, and 70% attributed to gasoline
sales.
Messrs. Bob Gilmore, 484 Hale Street, and Gary O. Wilson, 490 Hale
Street, spoke in opposition to the proposed conversion. Their
concerns involved: petition in favor of the project was presented
at the cash register and is not an accurate reflection of
surrounding residents; incompatible land use; commercial zones
abutting residential zones; more nighttime noise and lights;
Minutes 6 - February 25, 1986
litter dumped over fence into private property; loitering;
increased traffic; existing business serves its purpose; college
within two miles and proposed prison will add to traffic
congestion; station robbed within the last 2-3 days.
Mr. Frank Wells, 4337 Fairlawn Drive, La Canada 91011,
representing ARCO noted a few of the successful mini-market
conversions in E1 Cajon, Solana Beach, Mission Viejo, and E1
Toro. The proposed conversion would generate an additional 300
patrons per day. Regarding the increased noise and lights due to
a 24-hour operation, Mr. Wells pointed out the station currently
operates on a 24-hour basis. ARCO is sensitive to the community's
needs regarding lighting on the rear of the property--would be
provided without shedding light on surrounding residences.
Federal and State laws provide tight controls over these
franchises. Finally, present security discourages robberies and
vandalism.
Further Council discussion involved alternative uses for the site,
9 conditions of approval required for a CUP, existing traffic
problems in the area, additional vehicular traffic, project should
not sacrifice safety of the neighborhood, and curb cuts located at
this location.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text
was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
Mayor Cox reiterated the Council's action was to deny the
Conditional Use Permit on PCC-86-16 for the mini-market and
self-service station at 495 Telegraph Canyon Road.

Minutes - 9 - February 25, 1986
In September of 1985, the City informally requested proposals from
banks and savings and loan institutions to provide lending
services in support of the City's Housing Rehabilitation and
Commercial Rehabilitation Programs. Two institutions responded

In answer to Councilman Moore's question, Assistant Community
Development Director Gustafson reported out of 24 financial
institutions solicited in September, only two responses were

15. REPORT PROPOSED CONVERSION OF ORANGE TREE
MOBILEHOME PARK AND OUTLINE OF CITY
MOBILEHOME PARK ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
(Community Development Director)
RESOLUTION 12397 APPROVING CO-APPLICATION WITH ORANGE TREE
MOBILEHOME PARK RESIDENT'S ASSOCIATION FOR
STATE MOBILEHOME PARK CONVERSION ASSISTANCE
Minutes - 12 February 25, 1986
At the request of the City Council, the Community Development
Department has been exploring appropriate forms of Mobilehome Park
Conversion Assistance. Recently, the Residents Association of
Orange Tree Mobilehome, a 154-space park at 521 Orange Avenue,
asked the City to assist them in several ways in acquiring the
park and converting it to resident ownership. The Association is
under extreme time constraints associated with the purchase escrow
and the funding cycle for state assistance. As a result, the City
is being asked for commitments in the absence of information
necessary to determine the housing assistance benefits and amount
of financial assistance and in the absence of a formalized City
assistance program. In response, conditional support is
recommended and discussion of an assistance program is provided
for consideration.
Community DevelOpment Director Desrochers recommended Council
provide direction as to their desire to have a Mobilehome
Conversion Program formulated.
Councilman Scott requested assurance that this item is for
preliminary approval only. In response, Assistant Community
Development Director Gustafson stated due to lack of more specific
information, staff recommends conditional approval only. The
Council is requested to consider the nature of this form of
approval and endorse it in concept. Escrow on the park closes
April 10 and the funding cycle deadline for this request is also
drawing near.
Ms. Sue Loftin, Continental Associates, 7970 Convoy Court, San
Diego 92111, representing the mobilehome park residents stated
this is a "worst case" situation. The mobilehome park owner is in
bankruptcy and has two backup offers if this one falls through.
Without City or State assistance, mobilehome park residents will
not be able to obtain the full amount of required interim
financing. Action by the Council tonight would not bind the City
to loan specific funds.
Assistant Director Gustafson clarified the resolution is for a
co-application with Orange Tree Mobilehome Park specifically.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text
was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
18. REPORT ON THE FINAL DRAFT OF THE RFP FOR NAVY
HOUSING PROJECT AT OTAY LAKES ROAD AND
TELEGRAPH CANYON ROAD (Director of
Planning)
Minutes 13 - February 25, 1986
In late June 1985, after several meetings between the
Council-appointed Task Force on Navy Housing and representatives
of the Navy, the City Council reviewed and accepted the progress
report on the development of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the
proposed Navy Housing Project which had been tentatively agreed
upon by the Task Force and the Navy.
It was recommended Council concur with the recommendation of the
Task Force to accept the Final Draft of the RFP subject due to the
following revisions:
1. Section 2B.2g: "Tandem parking shall not count toward the
required number of off-street parking spaces."
2. Section 4B.ld: "Landscaping provided between open parking
spaces and the buildings."
City Manager Goss informed Council that due to the Gramm-Rudman
deficit-reduction act, the project has been scaled down from
200-180 units.
Ms. Martha Gorman, 1825 Citadel Court, Chula Vista, Chairman of
the Navy Housing Task Force stated the meetings were very
educational, effective, and beneficial to the Task Force members,
community, and the Navy. The task force is in favor of the RFP
with some exceptions, particularly deletion of "garage only."
Mayor Cox commended the Task Force, specifically Chairman Gotman,
for their efforts in involving the community in this endeavor.
Gene Talmadge, Commander, USN, Assistant Director of the Naval
Facilities Engineering Command, 1220 Pacific Highway, San Diego,
noted the ability to work with the City has provided an
outstanding product. The RFP is in final draft form and a
pre-proposers conference is scheduled in the near future. After
proposals are received on May 27, the 90-day review period will
begin. Completion of this project should occur in February 1988.
Councilman Scott indicated although he still does not support the
location of this project, he commended the Navy for their
cooperation with the City.
Director Lippitt explained the traffic signalization for this
project would be implemented in conjunction with the Charter Point
subdivision--this summer.
MSUC (Cox/Moore) to accept the report.
Minutes - 14 - February 25, 1986
19. REPORT EL RANCHO DEL REY OUT PARCEL LOCATED AT THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF EAST "J" STREET AND PASEO
RANCHERO (Director of Planning)
On February 18, 1986, the City Council expressed concern that a
certain 10-acre "out-parcel" situated within the E1 Rancho del Rey
Specific Plan Area, and located in the northwesterly quadrant of
East "J" Street (extended) and Paseo Ranchero (proposed), has an
authorized gross residential density range of 8-12 du/ac, even
though adjacent lands are held to residential densities of 2-4 and
6-8 du/ac.
The Planning Department has reviewed the overall layout of the
land use and density authorized under the recently revised E1
Rancho del Rey Specific Plan, as depicted on its plan diagram and
has compared and contrasted it with the land use and density
patterns authorized under the original E1 Rancho del Rey Specific
Plan. The department also evaluated its rationale for
recommending the higher (medium) density ranges for the site in
both the original and revised Specific Plans.
Staff recommended they be instructed to prepare a draft amendment
to the E1 Rancho del Rey Specific Plan which would reduce the
authorized gross residential density of the out-parcel in question
from 8-12 dwelling units per gross acre.
Director Krempl remarked staff did not formulate a recommendation,
per se, but felt enough change had taken place to warrant filing
an application and scheduling a public hearing in consideration of
this item. Subsequent to preparation of the staff report,
discussions were held with the City Attorney regarding impacts
that potential actions might have (approved project or map) on the
development. Therefore, he suggested the recommendation be
altered.
(Councilman Malcolm left the meeting at this time.)
MSUC (Scott/McCandliss) that no action be taken at this time to
authorize a specific plan amendment; however, when the map expires
on the existing project, staff should provide an amendment to the
specific plan to take effect (if approved) immediately thereon.
CONTINUED MATTERS
20° REPORT REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY OF COMPLAINTS TO THE
CHULA VISTA POLICE DEPARTMENT (Continued from
February 18, 1986)(Assistant City Attorney)
On November 26, 1985, Council requested that staff consider
amending the appropriate sections of the Chula Vista Municipal
Code to insure the confidentiality of complaints to the City's
Police Department. Specifically, Council expressed concern that
Minutes - 15 - February 25, 1986
names of crime victims were being released as public information
by the Police Department. After a review of the Police Department
procedures and consideration of the applicable sections of the
Government Code, the City Attorney's Office concluded that the
procedures followed by the Police Department are legally necessary.
MS (Cox/Scott) to file the report.
Councilwoman McCandliss indicated there could be modifications in
Police procedures which would prevent retribution by neighbors of
individuals making complaints to the Police Department. She
requested that stated procedures be provided indicating discretion
exists to protect callers who don't propose nuisances.
The motion to file the report passed with Councilman Malcolm out.
