filed and he be advised that the game of Pai Gow is not
permitted under state or local regulations. With the recent
annexation, an additional card club license under present
regulations would be available through a public lottery
process in May 1986. If the Council desires to limit the
number of card clubs to the present four, the City Attorney
could be directed to prepare an ordinance amendment that
would raise the population requirement from the present
25,000 inhabitants to approximately 30,000 or 40,000
inhabitants per each license.
MS (Moore/McCandliss) to approve the City Manager's recommendation.
Mr. Mullenniex stated Pai Gow is legal in California and is

chance and allows other games of chance by local ordinance.

Councilman Moore amended the main motion to approve the City
Manager's recommendation stating Pai Gow is not permitted by
City Ordinance.

revised ordinance that would increase the City's population to

92011
Minutes 4 March 18, 1986
Mr. L. T. Griffis appeared before the Council regarding his

following: old, existing ordinances should be updated;
ordinances should reflect existing increased City population;
many homes were previously on a design basis requiring

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
4. PUBLIC HEARING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT PCA 86-6:
CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 19
OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO CLARIFY AND
REGULATE REMODELING OR ADDITIONS TO
EXISTING DWELLING UNITS WITHIN
SINGLE-FAMILY AND DUPLEX RESIDENTIAL
ZONES AND SIMILARLY REGULATED AREAS
(Director of Planning)
ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 19 OF THE CHULA VISTA
MUNICIPAL CODE TO CLARIFY AND REGULATE
REMODELING OR ADDITIONS TO EXISTING
DWELLING UNITS - FIRST READING
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox declared
the public hearing open.
Principal Planner Lee explained that in May 1985, staff reported
on the remodeling of a single-family residence on Country Club
Drive. At that time Council directed staff to review existing
City ordinances regarding remodeling standards and return with a
report and recommendations for possible revisions to the Municipal
Code. Council also directed staff to review other changes
regarding lot coverage, setbacks, and height limitations.
Minutes - 5 - March 18, 1986
On January 21, 1986, Council recommended the Planning Department
proceed with draft ordinances for Planning Commission
consideration which would clarify when remodeling is of such an
extent as to constitute new construction, and establish a more
effective means of controlling the bulk and scale or residential
dwellings in single-family and duplex residential zones.
The Planning Commission recommendation was as follows:
1. An Initial Study, IS-86-30, of possible adverse environmental
impacts of the project was conducted by the Environmental
Review Coordinator who concluded there would be no
significant environmental effects and recommended the
Negative Declaration be adopted.
2. On February 26, 1986, the Planning Commission recommended the
City Council enact the ordinance amendment with the following
revisions:
a. That the floor area ratio for duplexes be fixed at 55%
of the square footage of the lot, rather than 45% as
recommended for single family residences, stated in
proposed ordinance Section 19.22.160.
b. That proposed ordinance Section 19.22.170 be revised to
state that original building square footage shall be
determined by submittal of dimensioned floor and site
plans by the applicant for review of the Director of
Planning.
c. That proposed ordinance Sections 19.22.060, 19.24.060,
and 19.26.060 regarding height regulations in
residential zones include a definition of building
height for clarification purposes.
Mr. L. T. Griffis, 311 First Avenue, Chula Vista, suggested
staff's report should address a requirement to increase the garage
space and other facilities if a resident's living area is
increased.
Principal Planner Lee responded that the new requirement is for a
two-car garage, if the expansion exceeds the present square
footage by 50% or more.
There being no further public testimony, either for or against,
the public hearing was declared closed.
In answer to Councilman Malcolm's concern regarding the formula
used by staff, Principal Planner Lee explained the lot size would
be large enough to accommodate increased house size as indicated
by the formula. (The formula is based on lot size rather than pad
size.
Minutes - 6 - March 18, 1986
Council discussion followed regarding: using pad size taking into
consideration the slope; Terra Nova, which is a planned community;
intent of regulation is to control the bulk in terms of second-
story construction including new construction; majority of the
City lands do not contain hills and slopes; refer the report to
staff for a re-analysis of new construction and pad size vs. lot
size.
MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) to continue the public hearing for
consideration at the meeting of April 15 and ask staff to address
the concerns raised by Council.
5. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
a. Mr. Charles Rolf, 1315 Preston Place, Chula Vista, referred
to existing inequities concerning utility tax reimbursement
by SDG&E to residents in the Montgomery area. He cited a
Star-News article dated February 27, 1986 regarding
correcting users' tax refunds.
City Manager Goss discussed the background of this situation
where Montgomery residents were incorrectly billed by SDG&E.
AS a result of Councilwoman McCandliss' conversations with
SDG&E, a notice was published stating reimbursements
(amounting to not more than 61~ per user) were available at
City Hall. He also reminded Council of a policy currently
being enforced which states any money collected for the
Montgomery area be spent in the the Montgomery area.
Finance Director Christopher explained the total amount
collected for the six-month billing cycle was approximately
~10,000. SDG&E estimated the amount collected by the City
prior to the annexation to be ~5.174
Councilman Moore expressed concern that residents would spend
twice as much in public transportation costs to obtain their
reimbursement. Since SDG&E caused the error, they should
correct it at their expense.
MS (Malcolm/Moore) request SDG&E to go through the calculations as
addressed in their printed notices to credit the billings for the
Montgomery area.
Ms. Pat Phoenix, Consumer Service Supervisor, SDG&E,
explained SDG&E did err but all ramifications were
considered; the billing decision was based on precedent; a
couple of billing cycles were missed but SDG&E still paid
the City tax; SDG&E would not be adverse to rebilling
although this would be more costly.
The motion to request SDG&E credit consumers passed unanimously.
Mayor Cox requested staff apprise the Council regarding SDG&E
advancing funds to the City.
Minutes - 7 - March 18, 1986
b. Mr. Niek Slijk, representing the Chula Vista Chamber of
Commerce supported Council's efforts to upgrade the regional
shopping center and invited the Council, City Manager, Public
Information Coordinator and Community Development staff, to
tour Grossmont Shopping Center. Since Grossmont Shopping
Center has been successful in their remodeling and its size
is comparable to the Chula Vista Shopping Center,
arrangements have been made with the La Mesa Chamber of
Commerce for a tour on for April 10 at 4 p.m. He requested
use of a City bus to transport the participants.
Council discussion ensued regarding: use of City vehicles
would set a precedent; fuel and other expenses associated
with use of bus; City has no policy on use of City vehicles
by outside organizations; lack of liability coverage on this
date; suggestion to contract with existing bus provider; have
Council sponsor this excursion and invite the Chamber.
MSUC (Cox/Moore) schedule a Council tour of the Grossmont Shopping
Center on Thursday, April 10 and contract with a bus company to
provide transportation for the City Council, Chamber Board, City
staff and members of the Chula Vista Shopping Center Board; ask
staff to bring back a resolution and report on what the costs
would be.
c. Ms. Lynn Pankhurst, 171 Palomar, Chula Vista, responded to a
newspaper article requesting Council and Star-News to "look
at both sides of the coin before passing judgement."
Specifically, she referred to the newspaper's account that
Montgomery residents came to the City with "empty pockets."

property.
In his written report, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Lippitt stated the City cannot simply rescind its earlier
resolution to vacate. Inasmuch as the need for a portion of the

9. RESOLUTION 12410 AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO ENTER INTO A RISK
POOLING ARRANGEMENT FOR GENERAL LIABILITY
WITH OTHER CITIES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY
(Director of Finance)
The San Diego County Cities Risk Management Authority (RMA) of
which Chula Vista is a member, was recently notified that Planet
Insurance will not renew general liability insurance coverage for
the Authority. The cities insurance coverage will expire as of
March 31, 1986. The purpose of this report was to discuss some of
the alternatives available to the RMA and the individual cities.
In answer to Council's questions, Mr. Ted Davidson, representing
Robert Driver Company, Newport Beach, discussed the following: an
underwriter will analyze risks based on applications the City has
filled out; cities with higher losses would be assessed heavier
fees; impact of Proposition 51 "deep pockets"; all liabilities
resources have been exhausted as of Monday, March 31, and pooling
is appropriate now; Oceanside, Del Mar, National City, Lemon
Grove, and Coronado have agreed to this arrangement.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT, the reading of the text
was waived by unanimous consent.
Councilman Malcolm expressed concern that Chula Vista would be
entering into an arrangement with other cities which have higher
risks. He noted the staff report did not address the issue of the
two cities that did not have their insurance renewed prior to this
situation.

Council, included in staff's report should be some act of effort
to recognize that the City is in difficult time and extraordinary
measures must be taken to keep liabilities down. In addition, she
requested information regarding the two cities whose insurance
policies were not renewed--was it only an isolated case, or has
there been an ongoing administrative lack of attention towards
risk management in these cities?
The motion to approve the resolution passed by the following vote:
AYES: Scott, McCandliss, Cox, Moore
NOES: Malcolm
ABSTAIN: None
11. REPORT ON INCREASE IN PARKING METER FEES (Community

Commerce. The City Council accepted several of the
Minutes - 11 March 18, 1986
recommendations but referred increases to four-hour and ten-hour
meters as well as changes in the duration of meters in several
locations to the Town Centre Project Area Committee (PAC) for
further discussion and recommendations.

change from previous recommendation.)
2. Ten-hour meters change from ~.05 per two hours to ~.10 per
one hour.
