Sr. Community Development Specialist Buchan reported Part I of the
amendment concerns only the property located north and south of

new provision to allow a maximum increase in development intensity
and building height if development meets certain conditions. Part
II of the amendment includes new provisions allowing deminimum
waivers for minor projects located in the non-appealable areas of
the Chula Vista Coastal Zone, revised grading and drainage
provisions, and adding provisions for using a hearing officer to
conduct public hearings on Coastal Development Permit
applications. Specialist Buchan confirmed that the Conditional
Use Permit process normally goes through the Planning Commission
and the City Council and this would not be changed.
Mayor pro tempore Nader questioned the procedure for a review or
appeal of the hearing officer's opinion; Ms. Buchan reported that,
in an appealable area, the decision is appealable to the Coastal
Commission but, in a non-appealable area, a provision could be
made to make this appealable to the City Council. Councilwoman
McCandliss questioned the lot coverage; Ms. Buchan reported this
clarification was requested by the Coastal Commission the
maximum height of the tower would be 45' and the entire square
footage of the tower should be counted to arrive at the total
square footage of the area. Ms. Buchan further assured Council
they have full discretion to approve or not approve regardless of
the criteria being fulfilled.
This being the time and place as advertised, ~tayor pro tempore

Director of Planning Krempl stated this is an attempt to

is supportive and criteria to be added to the Zoning Ordinance
were listed - planning, density controls, parking, open space,
commercial hours of operation with the requirement of a
Conditional Use Permit and Design Review Control.
Councilwoman McCandliss questioned possible changes which might
result for further projects; Director Krempl stated his
anticipation of applications with the distinction of being
inter-mixed with a total design for a project which works as a
unit rather than having two separate projects. Director Krempl
confirmed owners of trailer parks could make use of this if they
so choose; the total property is part of a redevelopment area and
there is room for joint use and planning for the property.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing
was declared open,
Tony Ambrose, 4877 Viewridge Avenue, 92123, representing Appell
Development urged Council support of the item.

James Lovett, Bayscene Mobilehome Park, presented Council with a
copy the Bayscene Mobilehome Park Meeting Minutes. The residents
were notified by Douglas Hansen, present owner of the Mobilehome
Park, that the Park has been sold "secretly" and never offered to
the residents of the park as required by City ordinance. Mr.
Lovett questioned the status of the present enforcement action
against Mr. Hartsen.

that the matter has been just brought to Council's attention.
MOTION
MSUC INader/McCandliss) that this item be discussed under
litigation in Closed Session following the meeting.

Council on the status of any arbitration, rent increases, the
status of the City's ordinance and the actions taken by the
tenants in compliance with that ordinance and that the report

Richard Hall, Orange County, stated he is the new owner of
Bayscene Mobilehome Park; he had no previous knowledge of the
problems; realizes the park had an out of town owner and the park
is "run-down." Mr. Hall assured Council money will be posted
tomorrow for the arbitration process; the goal of the new owners
is to offer the tenants a long term lease and they "will be
talking."
Paul L. Greene, Sr., 141 Lotus Avenue, 92011, referred to the
Victim-Witness Program and his possible ability to apply for
reimbursement of $160.00 under "return of property" (for money he
had to pay for fencing of his antique cars to satisfy the City
requirements). Secondly, Mr. Greene addressed whether or not the
City has been in violation of Section 815.6 (Liability of Failure
to Discharge a Statutory Duty) relative to the concerns of the
previously stated mobilehome owners' problem,
Tom Kenny, 9971 Campo Road (Suite A), Spring Valley, 92077, asked
for assistance with problems within Lloyd's Trailer Park. Most of
the trailer coaches are older and small and some are occupied by a
number of people in excess of that for which it was designed.
Additionally, electrical appliances are used in excess of what can
be contained within the circuit breakers. This poses hazardous
conditions in the mobilehome park where coaches are situated
closely. Mr. Kenny requested guidelines for him to follow to
better the quality of life and safety for all concerned.
MOTION
MS (McCandliss/Moore) to refer the issue to staff for a report
back to Council.

Kenny's request to address problems in his Park; addressed a
recent alleged increase in rent at the same mobilehome park; and

MS (Nader/McCandliss) to report back to Council with a status
report of rent increases and arbitration request at the mobilehome
park in question.

property owner might have for increases.

any new developments concerning this mobilehome park.
Joe Raso, 157 Murray Street, presented architectural drawings of
the house as originally planned, the house as it stands today and
the house as it was decided in litigation to build. Mr. Raso

he doing it?"

environmental degradation of the Otay River Valley be addressed by
advising him of the current efforts of the City and County of San
Diego and Chula Vista in developing a Plan for the formation of a
linear park in the Otay Valley area.
Councilwoman McCandliss expressed her feeling that the City should

MINUTES 12 ~ February 7, 1989

emphasized the need for the computer-aid dispatch system and the
planned addition of a radio channel, digital paging and
transmittal expansion as mentioned in a previous update report
generated by Hartson's and the Fire Department. Additionally,
after an observation visit to the City's Dispatch Center,
realization was made that the City Dispatchers make the medical
judgement whether to dispatch the Paramedics or an Emergency
Medical Technician (EMT). Fire Department Chief Lopez confirmed
the Dispatchers have been trained to make these decisions.
Councilwoman McCandliss requested that both concerns be addressed
during the contract renegotiation period.

13. REPORT PROPOSED STATEMENT OF INTENTIONS - OLYMPIC
TRAINING CENTER/Director of Planning)
RESOLUTION APPROVING A "STATEMENT OF INTENTION" WITH
EASTLAKE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY CONCERNING AN
OLYMPIC TRAINING CENTER SITE AND RELATED
FUTURE PHASES OF THE EASTLAKE PLANNED
COMMUNITY
On November 12, 1988, the United States Olympic Committee
Executive Board selected a 150 acre site within the EastLake
property for the San Diego Olympic Training Center. The EastLake
Development Company is requesting Council approve the "Statement
of Intentions to enlist City support of the program.
Mayor pro tempore Nader commented he supports the Resolution but
is concerned with EastLake's request for consideration of the
upper range of the density planned for Scenario 4 of the General
Plan, stating the full Council had no previous knowledge of this
request. Mayor pro Tempore Nader stressed, for the record, this
statement of intention is a total non-binding consideration of
density bonuses in advance of a public hearing.
Steve Gilles, 1981 Rue Michelle, 92013, an EastLake homeowner
spoke for the EastLake I Community Homeowners Association and
urged Council support for the staff recommendation to expedite the
project.
Robert Santos, 900 Lane Avenue, 92107, EastLake Development
Company, gave a brief history on the item which resulted in their
being considered for the Olympic Training site within EastLake's
property. At that time, EastLake stressed to the Sports Training
Foundation that the City of Chula Vista was then considering a
General Plan Update. The Statement of Intention being considered
is necessary to give a clear indication to the sports facility
that the City does want this to occur within a definite time
frame; the Foundation must show progress toward operation by
1991. It was emphasized by Mr. Santos that the proposal is
consistent with the City's General Plan Scenario 4 being processed
MINUTES 13 February 7, 1989
by the City and reflects EastLake's interpretation of what
densities could be provided in conjunction with the major
quasi-public uses with no deviation from threshholds. Mr. Santos
stated EastLake understands the implications and limitations but
needs the support of the City to move toward this major facility
which will have international recognition with "win-win-win"
situation for everyone.
Councilwoman McCandliss referred to the Processing Schedule on
page 3 of the Staff Report where it speaks to the possible
defermerit of other developer-projects. City Manager Goss
explained resources will be provided to expedite all projects for
development as they come to the City; precise conflicts are
unknown at this time.
Peter Watry, 81 Second Avenue, 92010, CROSSROADS, reported on a
presentation made to Crossroads which supports the project. The
fact that EastLake wants a density bonus is not unreasonable and
noted the less amount of traffic versus if homes were located at
this site. Mr. Watry read the City acknowledgements within the
Statement of Intention and stated his concern the Council not bind
itself in any way at this time.
Director of Planning Krempl stated for the record, that the
Department concurs with the statements made by Council, the
applicant and by Mr. Watry and this does not sanction any density
on the property, or entitlemerits made; it is recognized EastLake
is making application and, since it appears to be within the
· parameters of Scenario 4 of the General Plan as well as
consideration of an alternate Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
for the Olympic Training Site, commitment is now made only to
facilitate a processing schedule to bring back to Council in
August 1989.
Chris Chase, 1955 Rue Michelle, as a resident of EastLake stated
his appreciation for the quality of life enjoyed by his family,
and as Executive Director of the YMCA, stated his "excitement" for
the proposed facility in the City of Chula Vista.
Michael J. Roark, 3645 Proctor Valley Road, Bonita, stated support
of the project as a resident and the support of the Boys and Girls
Club of Chula Vista.
MAYOR PRO ~EMPORE NADER OFFERED THE RESOLUTION which was read by
title, the reading of the text waived by unanimous consent and
passed unanimously.

amendment but, because this is the second reading and there are
only three Councilmembers present to carry the vote, he will
support the Ordinance.
Assistant Director of Community Development Gustafson restated
staff's recommendation is that 9.50.065 be adopted but not the
proposed amendment for 9.50.040; Mayor pro Tempore confirmed the
motion is to adopt the entire proposed ordinance.

hired R. W. Beck, Professional Engioneers, with an initial
payment of $25,000 through the City of San Diego grant. The

Support
Deputy City Manager Morris reported that SB 52 and SB 53
outlines the procedures to be adopted that (1) implements
guidelines for a public acquisition of a public utility for
control purposes and purchase of stock and 12) establishes
guidelines whereby the PUC would approve the merger between
utilities. (SB 17 is an approved Council item and requires no
action.) SB 229 would enable the CWA to provide electric
utility as well as putting the item to a vote. Staff
recommended support all three items.

not automatically infer a public takeover by the CWA is the
best option; City Manager Goss stated agreement with this
position by the CWA.
