PUBLIC HEARING GPA-84-2 AND PCZ-84-D - CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN AND THE REZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 225 ACRES LOCATED E/LSTERLY OF BP.~NDYWINE AVENUE AND NORTHERLY OF OTAY VALLEY ROAD (Continued from the meeting of August 21, 1984) (Director of Planning) a. RESOLUTION 11743 AMENDING THE PLAN DIAGRAM OF THE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN TO REDESIGNATE APPROXIM~ATELY 225 ACRES LOCATED EASTERLY OF BRANDYWINE AVENUE AND NORTHERLY OF OTAY VALLEY ROAD FROM "GENERAL INDUSTRIAL" TO "RESEARCH AND LIMITED INDUSTRIAL" City Council Meeting - 3 - August 28, 1984 This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing. Principal Planner Pass explained that at the City Council meeting of November 15, 1983, it was voted unanimously to initiate a general plan amendment and rezoning of approximately 225 acres of the Otay Valley Redevelopment Project area, located northerly of Otay Valley Road and easterly of Brandywine Avenue, from General Industrial and I-P to Research and Limited Industrial and I-L-P. The Planning Commission considered the subject matters at its regular meeting of July 25, 1984. The Council continued the item on August 21, 1984 to August 28, 1984 requesting additional rationale as to why the GPA is being recommended and the zoning to remain I-P. In the text of their written report, Mr. Pass explained that while the Planning Department continues to support the redesignation of the subject territory from "General Industrial" to "Research and Limited Industrial" on the plan diagram of the General Plan, it proposes that the zoning of the said territory should remain I (Industrial), and not be changed to I-L (Limited Industrial ), as originally proposed. The Director of Planning recommended Council: (1) find that this project will have no significant environmental impact and adopt the Negative Declaration issued on IS-84-13; (2) approve and adopt GPA-84-2; (3) terminate the City's consideration of PCZ-84-D and (4) that the General Plan Amendment become effective concurrent with the City's adoption of Otay Valley land use and design guidelines. Councilwoman McCandliss said she envisioned the General Plan Amendment would be changed to limited industrial research if it would clearly state the zoning direction the City has for that area. Further, that staff would design and implement guidelines and standards to apply for that area. She questioned the flexibility of having a general plan in one state and a non-conforming zone in another. Principal Planner Pass explained there is already industrial zoning existing in the Industrial Park. In order for implementation of the plan over the next 40 years, a great deal of flexibility and resiliency had to be put into the plan. The property owners met with the staff and agreed to having interim zoning provided those uses would be well buffered and landscaped. Director of Planning Krempl agreed adding that the intent was to give the Council as much flexibility as possible to decide what would be the most appropriate uses in that area based on long term phasing and marketability. He felt it would be appropriate to have Council consider other uses if they met all the standards. City Council Meeting - 4 - August 28, 1984 Council discussion followed with Mr. Pass answering questions pertaining to the flexibility incorporated in the amendment; the interim uses that would be allowed prior to the final use approval; the meeting with the property owners in which there was a consensus as to the planned interim uses; the Council can always reinstitute consideration of the rezoning of the properties; changes in the area would have to come through the Owner Participation Agreement and the design guidelines are so written that they do give the Council control. Speaking against the proposal were Ben R. Hopkins, 219 San Miguel Drive, Chula Vista, representing Tower Structures, Inc.; Karl Turecek, 1872 Nirvana, Chula Vista, representing Otay Industrial Park; Joe Botkin, 3135 N. Mountain View, San Diego; Barbara Hall, 1675 Point Reyes Court, Chula Vista and Greg Garratt, 530 "B" Street, San Diego, Attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Curtie and Crown Chemical. In summary their objections were: (1 ) Would like to see the redevelopmerit plan left out of the general pl an. (2) It is not a good plan. (3) There are several long-established businesses in the area and questioned what would happen to these uses once the businesses are sold. (4) Asked to postpone the amendment to the General Plan so guidelines could be adopted which would be included in the General Plan. (5) Ti~e redevelopment plan does not call for a fezone of the industrial park. (6) The people have a great investment in their businesses in the area and these would not be allowed for the most part under the new pl an. (7) When staff met with the property owners and residents, the temporary uses were not discussed. (8) Lumber yards, if permitted, would be difficult to screen with landscaping. (9) What constitutes "temporary" uses. ( 10 ) Premature to ado pt the pl an amendmen t without gui deli nes. (ll) Crown Chemical is regulated by a number of other agencies within the County and the State. There is a concern as to what further guidelines would be imposed on this - they must be sure they can meet all standards, otherwise they would have to go out of business. City Council Meeting - 5 - August 28, 1984 (12) What expansion alternatives are available. Speaking in support was Guy C. Lichty II, 1652 Point Sal Court, Chula Vista. Mr. Lichty declared the guidelines are based on the redevelopment; this amendment is the first step toward implementation of that plan; the plan provides protection for those peo~e and cannot see why there is opposition to it; this is one-half of the package - the other hal f is the design standards and im~ementation guidelines; it is consistent with the City Council and Redevelopment Agency guidelines; to step back now would be to step back from the commitments made for the redevelopment plan. There being no further comments, either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed. Further Council discussion ensued regarding the confusion regarding the amendment to the General Plan and the rezoning to be consistent with it; reconmendation to bring the fezone back at a later time; the rationale for the Research Limited Industrial rezoning; concerns regarding the protection of the property owners in that area; the amendment is generally confined to the recycling park; suggestion to have the General Plan Amendment deal with the property west of Maxwell and hold off on the properties east of Maxwell until the design guidelines are completed and have that area west zoned I-L (Industrial Limited). City Attorney Harron stated there would be no problem from a legal standpoint if the Council wished to divide the area. He asked that the people be allowed to present their concerns based on the new proposal. In answer to the Council's questions, Director of Planning Krempl stated he would recommend the approval of the General Plan Amendment for Limited Industrial in that area. He suggested a condition be imposed that the effectuation of the GPA be concurrent with the adoption of the design guidelines and implementation standards. Councilwoman McCandliss agreed, stating the controversy is between the zoning, land-use and the development guidelines. Councilman Moore indicated a meeting with all parties concerned should be held so all parties could give their input. Councilwoman McCandliss commented she discussed this with Coldwell Banker. They felt limited industrial zoning would increase the value of the properties and make them more marketable. She added she would like staff to look into this. MSC (McCandliss/Moore) to adopt the Negative Declaration (Councilman Malcolm absent}. (Councilman Malcolm arrived at this time 8:05 p.m.) RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILWOMAN McCANDLISS, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved with Councilman Malcolm abstaining. MSC (McCandliss/Scott) to amend the resolution to continue consideration of the rezoning until the design standards are brought to the Council. Councilman Malcolm abstained. City Council Meeting - 6 - August 28, 1984 Mayor Cox announced there is still time for people interested in serving on the Project Area Committee to file an application with the City Clerk. The deadline for submitting applications is September 7th. 5. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS a. Joe Rindone, 230 Guava Avenue, Chula Vista, representing homeowners along Guava and Fig Avenues, submitted a petition of the residents and read letters objecting to the Council's recent approval of the TB Sputum Center at the Health Facility. Mr. Rindone expressed the neighbors' concern regarding the lack of parking for the facility, along with the danger to the adjacent residents of having the TB Sputum Center at the facility. Council discussion followed regarding various alternatives to the parking situation. MSUC (Cox/Moore) to refer this item to staff to took into the possibility of working out some different arrangements for parking for the City staff, the Health Facility staff and its patients and City Council and see what alternatives could be worked out and bring this back to the City Council for action. b. Guy Lichty II, 1652 Pt. Sal Court, Chula Vista, representing Citizen's Action Network (CAN) submitted the following objections to the owner participation agreement with the County. (1) Ambiguity What does the term "land fill and its related uses" include? The BKK plant? The Class I toxic waste dump? In paragraph four of the agreement, what does "construction and use of County-owned and leased property" mean? Is this limited to existing uses or does it include any future uses? (2) Illegality An argument can be made that the agreement is illegal because it contracts away the lawful power of the Redevelopment Agency to plan and regulate land uses within the Redevelopmerit Project Area. (3) De facto Amendment of the Redevelopment Plan Under section 600.50 of the Redevelopment Plan, the Redevelopment Agency has the right to impose on all public bodies planning and design controls contained in the Redevelopment Plan to insure that present uses and future development conform to the Redevelopment Plan. This agreement effectively amends that provision so as to exclude the County and its property. Amendments of Redevelopment Plans require certain procedures. City Council Meeting - 7 - August 28, 1984 (4) Contrary to Redevelopment Plan Section 600.43 of the Redevelopment Plan provides for Owner Participation Agreements. Those agreements provide for the participant to "rehabilitate or develop and use the property in conformance with the plan and to be subject to (its) provisions." The proposed Owner Participation Agreement essentially provides for the contrary, i.e., that the County-owned property will not be subject to the Plan. It is therefore not an Owner Participation Agreement which the agency has the power to enter into. (5) When the County acts in a corporate capacity The City does enjoy land-use jurisdiction over County owned property within the City's boundaries; this owner participation agreement would cause the City to abdicate their responsibility in this area. MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to refer these questions to the City Attorney. c. Bess Pocklington, 656 Glover Place, Chula Vista stated she called Dr. Ramras of the County Health Facility concerning the testimony given at the last meeting regarding the TB Health Clinic. She stated the nurse who testified did not represent Dr. Ramras and there were several discrepancies in her testimony. Mrs. Pocklington remarked that with the turmoil in Central America, there will be many immigrants coming to this country. When the boat people came over, there was a marked spread of TB among the school children. d. Dave Foreman, 1653 Pt. Cabrillo, Chula Vista, stated he is strongly in disagreement with the Council entering into an agreement with the County - giving them a free hand in the Otay Land Fill area. Mr. Foreman stated there is no testing being done at the Otay Land Fill and for Council to get the County to do something, they would have to "twist the County's arm". CONSENT CALENDAR (Items 6-9) MSUC (Scott/Cox) to approve the Consent Calendar. 6. RESOLUTION 11744 ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR OVERLAY OF WHITNEY STREET FROM HILLTOP DRIVE TO CLAIRE AVENUE IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA (Public Works Director/City Engineer ) On August 15, 1984, the City Engineer received sealed bids for the work which consists of the placement of pavement overlay on Whitney Street from Hilltop Drive to Claire Avenue.

REV IS E D RE"S'~'CIi~'~ON 11745 REQUESTING AN EXTENSION OF TIME ON THE AUTHORIZATION TO CONSIDER A SECOND H/~RBOR OPENING IN SAN DIEGO HARBOR (City Attorney The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been conducting a study on the feasibility of a second harbor entrance to San Diego Harbor. The Corps has taken what is essentially a negative position on the second harbor entrance.
