REVIEW COMMITTEE AND CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS IN MULTIPLE FAMILY ZONES FIRST
READING
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing
was declared open.
Director of Planning Krempl reported The Design Review Committee
outlined several issues and concerns regarding development
standards and jurisdictional and procedural matters related to the
design review process. Council accepted a follow-up report by
staff which recommended that hearings be set to consider ordinance
amendments addressing several of the issues. It is recommended
that Council approve five changes relating to (1) the ability of
Design Review to attach time limits to their actions, 12)
discretionary approval to allow transfer of open space from
various locations on an R-3 lot, (3) to reduce height limits in
the R-3, (4) to allow the Zoning Administrator some discretion on
minor design review, and (5) to provide authority to reduce sign
area. Item (6), reported to expand the authority of Design Review
to review all industrial and commercial projects within the City,
will be presented to Council during the Budget sessions.
Director Kremp~ agreed with Councilwoman McCandliss that the
subject of design standards be referred back to the Planning
Commission rather than giving that independent discretion to the
Design Review Committee.
There being no one present to speak either for or against this
item, the public hearing was closed.

PERMIT #43A FOR PLACEMENT OF TEMPORARY
TRAILERS AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF BAY
BOULEVARD/G STREET (ROHR INDUSTRIES)
(Director of Community Development)
RESOLUTION 14045 AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 43A FOR PLACEMENT
OF TEMPORARY TRAILERS AT THE NORTHWEST
.CORNER OF BAY BOULEVARD AND G STREET (ROHR
INDUSTRIES)
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing
was declared open.
Community Development Specialist Buchan reported Rohr Industries
has proposed to place approximately 15,000 square feet of
temporary office space within trailer units adjacent to Rohr
Building No. 99 located at the northwest corner of Bay Boulevard
and G Street. The project site is located within the Bayfront
Redevelopmerit Project Area and Coastal Zone. Environmental review
of the project was conducted and Negative Declaration IS-89-56 was
issued. Staff recommended Council adopt Negative Declaration
IS-89-56; find that the proposed project is consistent with the
certified Chula Vista Local Coastal Program and approve Coastal
Development Permit No. 43a subject to conditions.
There being no one to speak either for or against this item the
public hearing was closed.
Councilman Malcolm questioned the need of the temporary buildings
by Rohr which was explained as temporary office space to bring
additional engineers closer to the project. Director Krempl
reported, with industrial use, the parking is averaged over the
total property and it is realistic to expect that the office use
is coupled with the industrial use. Councilman Malcolm disagreed
with the expectation stated for the proposed use and stated the
City should demand the usual parking standards for office use.
MAYOR COX OFFERED THE RESOLUTION which was read by title, the text
waived by unanimous consent.
MOTION
MSUC (Nader) to amend the Resolution to change Condition 1 of
Attachment IV to read that the project shall be removed three
years following implementation.
VOTE ON THE AMENDED RESOLUTION
Motion passed. (Councilman Malcolm vote no)
MINUTES 7 April ll, 1989
7:20 p.m.: TOXIC WASTE FIRE INCIDENT
Ci'ty Manager Goss reported that approximately 8:00 a.m. today a
report was received of a truck fire on Maxwell Road at the gate of
Appropriate Technologies II.
Fire Department Chief Harrold reported the morning fire was
relatively small centered in a tractor trailer en route to the
Appropriate Technologies II facility, the fire was difficult to
reach since it involved one drum on a load of many drums. The
fire was under control in approximately 15 minutes; the deposit
was not scheduled for Chula Vista. An agreement with Disposal
Control Service, Inc. Ithe hauler), the County Health Department,
Chula Vista Fire Department and the State agency, Appropriate
Technologies II exists to store the complete load over night
rather than to send it back on the street to the final destination
in Texas. He confirmed that the drum contained solid waste and,
preliminary information indicates the burning material was a
"resin.'~ Chief Lopez confirmed the company involved in today's
fire is the same company involved in the previous incident in
Chula Vista.
Gary Stephany, San Diego County Environmental Health, stated he
was present to answer questions, stated the contents of the drum
was not a "drug" as reported, explained the procedure for
collecting waste and transporting waste to the disposal facility
which is contrary to a procedure favored by his agency. Mr.
Stephany reported the San Diego County Environmental Health is
assisting the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the District
Attorney in this case; hence, he was unable to answer some
questions. It is a State operation and he expects rapid
prosecution in this case. In answer to Councilman Malcolm's
concern, Mr. Stephany recommended that the City of Chula Vista and
the County of San Diego pursue changes in the State legislation to
close loop holes. He also agreed to pursue an item with the Board
of Supervisors for an agreement with Appropriate Technologies II
to preclude acceptance from this one company.
Mr. Stephany reported that it is common for one company to
transport drums from several facilities; he stressed that whether
or not Chula Vista had a disposal facility, companies would be
transporting waste on the City's streets from local businesses who
generate the waste to the scheduled drop off site.
Mr. Kasarian, President of BKK Corporation, Los Angeles, reported
his company has no responsibility for causing this problem, the
truck arrived at their gate and put the company in a position of a
"subcontractor" trying to solve the problem. He has notified the
transporter that Appropriate Technologies II will no longer accept
delivery until it is shown by the transporter that all packaging
and labeling are certified to be correct by the appropriate
authorities. The material is question was a floor adhesive and it
appears the one drum in question also contained a resin-type
substance on a "drip plan'~. Because Appropriate Technologies II's
MINUTES 8 April ll, 1989
personnel are trained in the proper procedures to deal with the
emergency, it was decided to take care of the problem at his
facility, which will be accomplished on April 12 under the
supervision of the County and the District Attorney's offices to
assure all drums are packaged and labeled as appropriate and upon
confirmation of the destination in Texas, they will be sent
there. Mr. Kasarian reported that none of his company's
procedures were violated and, for all concerned, it was better
that it happened on his front door.
MOTION
MSUC (Moore/Cox) to direct staff to initiate the appropriate
action for state legislation to close the loop holes in the
procedures for the handling of hazardous waste, the packaging,
shipment and manifesting, personnel procedures and qualifications.
MOTION
MSUC IMalcolm/Nader) to direct staff to send a letter over the
Mayor's signature urging the Board of Supervisors to require
Appropriate Technologies II not to accept materials from the
shipper until Mr. Stephany of San Diego County Environmental
Health is satisfied proper implementation has occurred in that
company.
Councilman Malcolm remarked, in all fairness it is recognized this
incident is not the fault of Appropriate Technologies II, which
company did act to lend a hand and a resident and Councilman, he
appreciates the cooperation.
MOTION
M IMcCandliss/Cox) to contact the California Highway Patrol and
inform them of this incident and the other incidents, asking them
to investigate and to pull the license of the company.
Discussion ensued on the language "pull the license" and City
Attorney Harron confirmed it merely states an urging on the part
of Council to complete action. Mr. Stephany offered language to
stipulate staff work with the County in the writing of the
appropriate letter to the proper agencies. Councilwoman
~lcCandliss stated that staff will, in any case, work with the
County staff.
RESTATED MOTION
MSUC (McCandliss/Cox)) to contact the California Highway Patrol
and inform them of this incident and the other incidents, asking
them to take action as necessary to include the pulling of the
license if the facts support that.
Answering Councilman Nader's question, City Attorney Harron
confirmed the City cannot by ordinance restrict, pending
investigation, that this particular hauler not be allowed to do
business in this City, but can by contract no longer do business
with the company.
MINUTES - 9 April ll, 1989
MOTION
MSUC (Nader/Cox) to direct staff to negotiate and authorize an
agreement with Appropriate Technologies II to preclude the
acceptance of waste from the Disposal Control Service, Inc.
pending their clearance by investigation of any wrong doing for
both the present incident or the previous incident.
City Manager Goss reported for awareness that Appropriate
Technologies II has been disposing of their sewage (neutralized
liquid waste) through the pump station on 32rid Avenue. City of
San Diego would like to discontinue this practice and Appropriate
Technologies II has requested connection to Chula Vista sewer; the
option would be to transport by truck and Mr. Stephany reported
this does meet County Codes but their preference would be to use
the pipe.
Mayor Cox requested Mr. Kasarian to reply to questions and he
confirmed affirmatively he would be agreeable to participate in a
Task Force working with City and County staff to come up with a
more acceptable site for Appropriate Technologies II.
19. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Harvey Souza, 3810 Vallery Vista Road, Bonita, 92002, owner of the
Village Club Card Room in Chula Vista reported for all the owners
of Chula Vista Cardrooms that the City regulations for cardrooms
be updated and made consistent with the regulations taken by the
State. Changes center on the games played, the hours of
operation, and the elderly people who now enjoy the services.
MOTION
MSC (Cox/McCandliss) to refer the item to staff for evaluation and
a report back to Council. ICouncilman Malcolm voted no)
Councilman Malcolm reported, at this time, he does not support the
request because of his personal feeling for cardrooms.
R. C. Flaugher, 1100 Industrial Boulevard, Brentwood Park,
reported a truck fire on Industrial Avenue and the hazards posed
by the overnight parking practices of tractor trailers on that
Avenue. Mr. Flaugher requested the "mess" created by the fire be
cleaned up and to restrict overnight parking by trucks in this
area.
MOTION
MSUC (Cox/Nader) to direct staff to take whatever action is
necessary to immediately clean up the problem on Industrial Avenue.
Director of Public Safety Winters reported the 72 hour limit on
parking is one way to restrict parking; the other way is to limit
parking for certain hours in that particular area.
MOTION
MSUC (Cox/Nader) to direct staff to come back with recommendations
on how to address this problem.
MINUTES - lO April ll, 1989
Councilman Moore suggested that the City's telephone numbers are
available for any citizen to contact to bring items to the City's
attention, such as unsightly trash.
Mary Frances Click, 1100 Industrial Boulevard, reported that a
previous similar problem was addressed by contact with the
trucking company office; the manager when made aware stopped the
parking.
PULLED ITEMS
13. ORDINANCE 2306 AMENDING CHAPTER 9.50 OF THE CHULA VISTA
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO RENTAL
MOBILEHOME PARKS FIRST READING (Acting
Community Development Director/City
Attorney)
On March 28, 1989, Council approved a number of changes to the
City's Mobilehome Space Rent Binding Arbitration Ordinance. The
substantive nature of the changes requires a new first reading of
the Ordinance. Staff has prepared two alternatives for Council
consideration. Staff is recommending adoption of Alternative 1.
Housing Coordinator Thompson reported a clerical error on page 5
of Alternative I, on which page should be inserted on line 2 of
the Notice: "(AT A MINIMUM, THE NOTICE SHALL CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING
LANGUAGE); and, at the end of the same Notice, to insert "The
following space numbers are subject to this increase:" Secondly,
he reported the request of members of the Mobilehome Issues
Committee to add a requirement to allow time to engage in
discussion with other park owner members regarding any rent
increase notice.
MOTION
MSUC (Malcolm/Nader) to amend the Alternative No I Ordinance on
page 5, Section 9.50.065, 2., "at least fifteen days prior to the
issuance of the notice to the residents."
MOTION
MSUC IMcCandliss/Cox) to amend the Alternative No. I Ordinance,
page 6, under Section 9.50.070, to include that the original
signatures will be on file in the Office of Community Development
with a notice upon receipt sent back to the tenants.
Victor A. Nolan, 12 Via Barberini, Chula Vista, 92010, Mobilehome
Issues Committee, stated support for Alternative #2 because of his
contention that home residents should have the responsibility to
act for themselves with a petition.
Mary Frances Click, 1100 Industrial Boulevard, Space 1-57, 92011,
stated her belief that putting the responsibility on the owners
will alleviate the problems. Mrs. Click supports Alternative I
which allows room for communication.
MINUTES 11 - April ll, 1989
R. C. Flaugher, llO0 Industrial Boulevard, Space I-lO, 92011,
MOPAC Chairman, referred to Resolution 13992 and its statement for
"just and reasonable return on the property" and compared the
statement with the wording in this Ordinance. Further, he
addressed the cost of arbitration, the help that is available and
the need to let the residents know that fact. Mr. Nolan returned
to the podium to clearly state a rental increase based on the CPI
and which has been approved is given either to the current or the
new resident but never both. '
Jerry Fick, P.O. Box 6010, 92011, Mobilehome Issues Committee,
spoke in support of Alternative No. 1 as the lesser of two evils
and stated agreement with Coordinator Thompson's notice of intent
to issue a rent raise notice in excess of the CPI.
Harold Duncan, 1100 Industrial Boulevard, Mobilehome Residents,
MOPAC, compared the intent of both alternative ordinances and
objected to the requirement that residents pay 25% of the cost for
arbitration. He stated it is unncessary to use an expensive
arbitrator when a Community Mediation Program sponsored by the
UCSD School of Law and the County Bar Association is available
free of charge and recommended the ordinance procedure be removed
from the books and proceed with rent stabilization.
MAYOR COX OFFERED THE ORDINANCE ALTERNATIVE I, AS AMENDED BE
PLACED ON FIRST READING which was read by title, the reading of
the text waived by unanimous consent.
MOTION
MSUC (Nader/Malcolm) to amend page 6 of the ordinance by changing
the second sentence of Subdivision 5 of 9.50.070 to read "Factors
to be considered by the arbitrators will include but not be
limited to providing park owners with a just and reasonable return
on their property."
Mayor Cox referred back to Mr. Duncan's statement of using a free
arbitrator, stating he has no objection of both parties are
agreeable to this use. Council discussed the point, especially
since the Community Group are lay mediators and the fact may cause
a time delay.
MOTION
MS (Nader/Cox) to amend page 6 of the Ordinance, Section 9.50.070,
4., to change the period I.) to a comma (,) to add, "unless the
parties within twenty days of the date of service of the notice of
increase stipulate to arbitration by another organization.
Councilwoman McCandliss stated she will vote no. Councilman
Malcolm offered his disapproval stating to make the ordinance
work, the City needs an experienced profession arbitrator.
Councilman Moore stated his preference for the professional
arbitrator.
Mayor Cox withdrew his second to the motion.
Councilman Nader withdrew his motion.
