In answer to Councilman Scott's question of his potential conflict of

Principal Planner Pass submitted a draft on the Sphere of Influence Plan for
Chula Vista as prepared by Mooney-Lettieri and Associates, in conjunction with
the City Planning Department. Upon adoption by the San Diego Local Agency
Formation Commission {LAFCO), this plan will designate the eventual
territorial limits of the City of Chula Vista's planning, development, and
c onservati on re sponsi bi 1 i tie s.
The Director of Planning recommended concurrence with the recon~endation of
the City Planning Commission that Council:
(1) accept the Draft Chula Vista Sphere-of-Influence Plan and order its
offical submittal to LAFCO for environmental assessment and
adoption and;
{2) adopt the draft resolution.
City Council Minutes - 12 - November 13, 1984
Mr. Tony Lettieri, Consultant, gave an overview of the Sphere of Influence
stating they used the LAFCO guidelines. Mr. Lettieri referred to two maps on
the wall: one showing the sphere of influencel and the other, the Chula Vista
City boundaries. He noted the Sphere's northern boundary as State Route 54 to
the bay; the western boundary as the bay and the corporate boundaries of
San Diego; southern boundary would be the bluff line of the Otay River and the
eastern boundary would be the major lakes - Otay Reservoir. As to community
by community, the following six were designated:
1. Central Chula Vista/Bayfront.
2. Montgomery/Otay
3. Bonita
4. Sunnyside
5. Telegraph Canyon/Lakes
6. Eastern Territories
Mr. John McIntyre, Public Affairs Consultant, stated his finn prepared the
analysis. The analysis as presented to the Council assumes continued existing
Council policies with respect to cost and revenues at State, local and Federal
levels. Further, all annexations will take place in fiscal year 1985. As to
the net project, the Bonita planning area would come in as a negative area if
it was annexed this year. The Sunnyside area would have a negative initial
impact; however, with development proceeding in that area, it would take on a
positive impact. All the other planning areas would start with an initial
positive fiscal impact and remain positive for the life of this analysis
(20 years). As to the capital side of the analysis, if the City were to apply
existing standards (roads, lights, etc) requiring capital expenditures, it
would exceed the capital revenues accruing from those property taxes.
Mr. Lettieri stated the Sphere of Influence is made to be amended some time in
the future when planning is completed in certain areas. They have used the
LAFCO guidelines as a major tool in the study and also plans adopted by the
City such as a growth management plan,
Council discussion followed with Mr. Lettieri answering questions as to his
recommendation for the boundaries of the communities. Mayor Cox noted that
Union Oil had submitted a letter asking all of their property be encompassed
in the Sphere of Influence Plan.
Michael Spata, representing United Enterprises, 1007 Fifth Avenue, San Diego
stated his clients object to the sphere of influence study based on the fact
they have had no input into the study. Staff should have considered United
Enterprises policies in close consultation and cooperation. Mr. Spata read
the fol 1 owing Ietter into the record:
City Council Minutes - 13 - November 13, 1984
"This is to advise you that despite several inquiries made by United
Enterprises Inc. during the past year, United Enterprises, Inc. has not
had an opportunity to provide nor has it been asked to provide its input
to the proposed City of Chula Vista Sphere of Influence for October
1984. In spite of the fact that this is an important land use study and
in light of the fact that LAFCO maintains a policy that close cooperation
and consultation of the local communities is essential when developing
spheres of influence, United Enterprises, Inc. must go on record and
oppose the adoption of the pending Sphere of Influence because of the
absence of cooperation and consultation regarding this preparation."
Mr. Spata requested a two week continuance so they could review the draft.
MS (Scott/Cox) to hold this matter over for two weeks so that the major
property owner can have a look at it and make comments on it. Mayor Cox said
that he will be asking for a change in the eastern boundary due to Union Oil's
request and this should be reviewed by staff and come back at the same time.
Councilman Scott withdrew his motion. Mayor Cox withdrew his second.
Robert Moreland, representing Union Oil requested all of their property be
included within the Sphere of Influence boundary since they feel it is
important that Chula Vista participate in the planning of this property.
In answer to Council's questions, Director of Planning Krempl explained the
area was not included due to the planning area boundary - the land is quite
rugged and not developable.
MSUC (Scott/Moore) to approve the following communities: (1) Central Chula
Vista/Bayfront; (2) Montgomery/Otay; (3) Bonita; (4) Sunnyside with the
expanded area as requested by Union Oil Company.
Mayor Cox reported he met with some of the property owners of the 640 acres in
the area of the Telegraph Canyon/Lakes section. They are going to request
reorganization of that land to Chula Vista {I-805 to Palm Avenue, across from
Palm Avenue to Otay Valley Road going to Otay Mesa).
MS {Cox/McCandliss) to use the extension of Palm Avenue to Otay Valley Road as
the boundary line for the Southern portion of the Telegraph Canyon/Lakes
section.

Option 2 - is for Council to approve the map subject to all private streets to
be constructed of 5-1/2 inch thick concrete. Design of the
concrete pavement shall meet the requirements of the Subdivision
Manual.
City Council Minutes - 15 - November 13, 1984
The Planning and Engineering Departments have concluded that based on a final
analysis of the project and the issues, it would be in the best long range
interests of the City and future residents of the projects to have a public
street system and therefore have recommended approval of Option 1 which would
require the redesign of the subdivision resulting in a loss of 12-14 units.
This change would likely increase the cost of the individual units by several
thousand dollars because of increased design time, project delay, and a lesser
number of units to absorb the development costs.
Should Council wish to approve the project with the private street design
Option 2 is available with the recommendation to substitute a concrete system
for asphalt.
If Council approves Option 2, then approval of the precise plan is appropriate
subject to the modifications of the tentative map and staff conditions.
Housing Coordinator Gustafson discussed the conditions which could be attached
to the project which would secure the affordable housing benefits in exchange
for the Council's assistance in the project. Mr. Gustafson noted that at the
start of the project, the sales price of the homes were between
$58,000-~76,000. The developer would have provided units affordable to
households in the 90-100% of the median category and prior to that price, the
lO0 million take out commitment would have yielded about 83 below market
mortgages. With the 1983 bond issue, this range would be narrowed and Chula
Vista Woods would be at the lower end of the range with the $65,000 average
with the bond issue project in the $100,000 bracket. The project is in
receipt of mortgage commitments for the 1983 mortgage revenue bond of 5.2
million dollars.
Mr. Gustafson discussed the definition of "affordability" expressing his
recommendation that a development agreement be entered into within 90 days of
approval of the tentative map. He would recommend requiring the sales price
caps and income limits to be included in that agreement and those limits to be
established as to the amount and the number of units as a result of an
evaluation of the developer pro forma information by the Agency Housing
Consultant, Mr. Dan Grady.
Council discussion followed with staff as to the "affordability" of the homes;
the various concessions given by Council; the project being "substandard"; not
having a park area in the subdivision; similar projects with the same density
in the City; the concrete vs. the asphalt streets and the maintenance of such
streets; the advantages of the stub street and its configuration.
Mr. Tom Davies, 2550 Fifth Avenue, Attorney representing the Gardner
properties stated this project has been on the board for the last 4-5 years.
The subdivision map was approved in 1979 with no outside access (stub
street). They oppose the stub street as they see no reason for it. They can
see that the streets should be concrete rather than to redesign the entire
project. They will agree to a developer agreement as to the pump station.
City Council Minutes - 16 - November 13, 1984
Mr. Don Gardner, 1497 Jayken Way -B, Chula Vista stated his goal all along has
been to bull d affordable houses i n Chula Vista. The market ~ll dictate what
is affordable. For the llO lots, they expect to sell them in a range between
$70,000-$80,000. As to the restrictions on the mortgage bonds, they are
fairly liberal with the maximum limitation of $134,000 and the maximum income
of $44,000 for the average income.
Peter Watry, 82 Second Avenue, Chula Vista stated he is disappointed with the
entire project remarking it is "shameful" and will be nothing more than a
"ghetto" in that particular area. He viewed the Holi day Estates Subdivisi on
recently which was built by the same developer and found it very depressing.
Mrs. Wendy Longley-Cook, 1007 Fifth Avenue, Suite lllO, San Di ego,
representing United Enterprises, objected to the stub street noting the
alignment of East Naples intersection would be less than 500-feet. It would,
therefore, require United Enterprises to build a road to the north which they
cannot use because they cannot put an intersection there {distances between
intersections be a minimum of 200-feet).
There being no further comments, either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Councilwoman McCandli ss noted the property is unique and expensive because of
its access; however, the Council should be looking at the project not just for
1984 but for the year 1990. She recently toured a subdivision in Vista of
manufactured homes and found them to be quite acceptable. Councilwoman
McCandliss noted there are many concessions being granted to the developer
which amount to subsidies. She declared her major concern was the streets
which she felt should be standard streets with sidewalks.
MS (McCandliss/Scott) for approval of Option 1.
Councilman Malcolm commented he found the concrete streets; Councilman Scott
noted hi s concern over the inadequacy of parking for the development.
The motion failed by the following vote:
YES: McCandliss, Scott
NOES: Cox, Malcolm, Moore
ABSENT: None
MSC { /Mal m) to' ove opt~ 2. The motion carried by the following
vote:

This item was continued from the October 30, 1984 meeting. The City Council,
meeting in regular session on October 15, 1984 raised some questions as to how

proposals within the unincorporated territory of San Diego County. The
concern was specifically raised about Montgomery Area. This report discusses
the nature, character and format of the Planning Department's report to County
Planning.
Councilman Malcolm stated he brought this to the Council's attention based on
the fact that the staff had recently indicated its approval of having a
mini-warehouse along Third Avenue. Since this area may at some time in the
future come into the City, Councilman Malcolm was concerned about industrial
uses along Third Avenue. Director of P1 arming Krempl stated the County is now
embarking upon an update of their community plan for that area and Chula Vista
will be involved in that effort.
