(Director of Planning)
a. RESOLUTION 11757 APPROVING THE PROPOSAL BY THE SAN DIEGO COUNTRY
CLUB TO REDESIGNATE ABOUT 6.00 ACRES OF LAND,
LOCATED ON THE NORTHERLY SIDE OF NAPLES STREET,
WESTERLY OF CORTE MARIA AVENUE, FROM "PARKS AND
PUBLIC OPEN SPACE" TO "MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL" ON THE
GENERAL PLAN DIAGRAM
Council Meeting - 2 - September ll, 1984
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearings on Items 4 and 5 since then are related.
Councilman Malcolm stated he is abstaining from both public hearings due to a
potential conflict of interest (member of the San Diego Country Club) and left
the dais at this time.
Director of Planning Krempl submitted plats explaining that the San Diego
Country Club proposes the allocation of six acres of its 150-acre site to
medium density residential use. Two of the involved six acres of land are
within the City of Chula Vista although most of the site lies within the
unincorporated territory of San Diego County.
The subject site is designated "Parks and Public Open Space" by the Chula
Vista General Plan. The subarea within the City of Chula Vista is zoned
"R-I", and the subarea within the County is zoned S-90-20 (Urban Holding
Zone). The site is presently a part of the Country Club's landscaped open
space, but is not a part of its golf course.
The EIR-84-7 concludes this project will not result in any significant
environmental impacts. Staff recommends concurrence with the recommendation
of the City Planning Commission and adoption of the Resolution which certifies
that the EIR-84-7 has been prepared in compliance with California Environmental
Quality Act and the Environmental Procedures of the City and that the Council
is considering this information in this document as it reaches a decision on
the project.
Mr. Tim Cox, project manager for RVR and Associates, stated his firm has
prepared the environmental impact report. Mr. Cox added that public and staff
comments have been included in the report and summarized the impacts on soils,
drainage, air quality, noise, land use and space and the aesthetics noting
also the mitigation measures taken on each of these items.
Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the semantics of the language in the EIR
whereby it referred to the golf course as "permanent open space". Director of
Planning Krempl stated the designation as open space was not correct. The
site is privately owned and can be used for development. The term "permanent
open space" is inappropriate.
Director of Planning Krempl then submitted additional plats noting the
proposed site, the adjacent land uses and zoning. He explained the developer
is proposing to put in 80 condominium units. Staff feels the density is
harmonious with certain conditions and concludes that the median density from
4-12 units per acre is consistent with the area and appropriate as filed.
5. PUBLIC HEARING PCZ-84-C CONSIDERATION TO REZONE AND PREZONE
6.0 ACRES LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF NAPLES
STREET AND OPPOSITE DIXON DRIVE FROM R-1 AND S-90
(COUNTY) TO Ro3 P-14 SAN DIEGO COUNTRY CLUB
(Director of Planning)
Council Meeting - 3 - September ll, 1984
a. ORDINANCE 2082 AMENDING THE ZONING MAP OR MAPS ESTABLISHED BY
SECTION 19.18.010 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE
REZONING AND PREZONING 6.0 ACRES LOCATED ON THE NORTH
SIDE OF NAPLES STREET AND OPPOSITE DIXON DRIVE FROM
R-1 AND S-90 (COUNTY) TO R-3 P-14 - FIRST READING
Director of Planning Krempl explained that the applicant is requesting that a
total of 6.0 acres of property located on the north side of Naples Street
opposite Dixon Drive (southeast corner of the San Diego Country Club) be
rezoned (approximately 2 acres) from R-1 (Single Family Residential) prezoned
(approximately 4 acres) from S-90 (County Holding Zone) to R-3-P-14 (Multiple
Family Residential subject to a precise plan at a density of 14 units per net
acre).
Staff recommends concurrence with the Planning Commission recommendation to
approve the rezoning and prezoning in accordance with their Resolution
PCZ-84-C.
Mr. Krempl added the attachment of the "P" modifying district will permit the
establishment of development standards which would restrict height and
location of residential structures to minimize the impact of development on
adjacent R-1 properties to the east. Plats were then shown noting the
topography of the area, the proposed structures and height elevations, the
trees and preservation of such on the northeastern border of the property, the
eight homes that would be affected by the site distance and the ingress and
egress into the property.
Council discussion followed with the Planning Director noting the setback
areas: the zoning wall that would be a condition; the proposed 200 parking
spaces; the recreational area and putting greens in the proposed development.
In summary Mr. Krempl stated that based on the condition and the precise plan
review the density range as medium density on the general plan amendment have
led the Planning Commission to recommend approval.
Speaking for the proposal was Anthony Ambrose, 4877 Viewridge, San Diego,
whose firm prepared the plans for the project. He agreed with the Planning
Commission approval and recon~nendation stating the 6.0 acre site has been used
for refuse for the last 30 years; it will provide additional security for the
premises; it will be housing for retirees; it will be a positive impact on the
existing shopping center; it will improve the Naples Street frontage; the only
access will be from Naples which will have very little impact on the adjacent
areas; there will be view corridors; the units will be a minimum of 1,000 sq.
ft. to 1,400 sq. ft and all 2 bedrooms with clay tile roofs.
Speaking against the proposal was Richard Nielsen, 1032 Corte Maria, Betty
Nielsen, 1032 Corte Maria, Maldra Sandroff, 1020 Corte Maria and Donald
Thompson, 1052 Corte Maria, Chula Vista.
Council Meeting - 4 - September ll, 1984
In summary their comments were:
(1) The residents feel they have been short changed on public hearings
on this project.
(2) Initially 120 units were proposed as low and moderate income housing
for those people earning 524,000 annually or less.
(3) 30-40% of the condo owners will be retirees from Club members.
(4) The proposal is for the Club to get the rezoning and then sell it to
a developer.
(5) If this goes through, the shopping center property will obtain a
higher value and they may want to sell and redevelop.
(6) The Council should consider the economic and social values asking
that no decision be made until the people have had an adequate
chance to express their concerns.
(7) Moved to this area from Santa Monica and lived in several places,
h
moving out because of multi-family developments in t e neighborhood.
(8) Consider the traffic impact, there will be at least 160 cars going
in and out of this project. Consider the noise factor and the smell
of the automobiles, starting and stopping which will have a
devastating effect on the health of the residents.
(9) The San Diego Country Club has allocated $100,000 to "shove this
plan through the Planning Commission and City Council".
(10) It's incompatible to the rest of the neighborhood.
(11) The San Diego Country Club wants the money from this project in
order to build a new clubhouse.
12) The Country Club does not have Chula Vista's interest at heart
because they have never annexed to the City.
(13) The condos will have special areas for golf course carts; therefore
it is not "low and moderate income housing".
(14) These will be the first apartments built in this area.
(15) The trees on the northeastern border are intended to be a corridor.
(16) The area has not been used for dumping, only that particular section
next to the shopping center.
Council Meeting - 5 - September ll, 1984
Speaking for the proposal was Bob Campbell, 43 Corte Maria, Chula Vista
representing the San Diego Country Club. He stated that out of 96% of the
members of the Country Club, 65% were in favor of building a new club house.
This can only be built by money obtained by selling this property and
assessing each member accordingly. Mr. Campbell stated the Manager of the
club house is in receipt of a number of requests from members of the Club who
are interested in buying a condominium at this location and asked the Council
not to defer a decision on this and approve the project.
In answer to Councilman Moore's question, Mr. Campbell responded that in order
to obtain a high quality project, it is the intention of the Country Club to
take the plans through the tentative process whereby they can exert control
over much of the project as opposed to just marketing the property outright.
Mr. Campbell added the term "low and moderate income" is really based on how
one looks at the project. The condominiums will be selling somewhere from
I98,000 and $140,000 per unit and whether or not the Country Club offers
membership to those people buying the condominiums is something being
discussed; however, no decision has been made.
There being no further comments either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Council continued its discussion with staff regarding retaining the grove of
trees on the northeastern border of the property; the issue of the San Diego
Country Club wanting a new Club House is of no consideration in the public
hearings this evening; the project should be monitored carefully in mitigating
any impacts on the single family homes; the front side of the condominiums
will be facing the homes on Corte Maria Avenue; therefore, the residents will
have a better view than the back of the condos; it will be a high quality
development with the Country Club retaining control until a certain level in
the process; the Council does have the Precise Plan control; the actual design
of the project should be brought to the Council for review and approval; the
term "low-and-moderate income" is meaningless - it will not meet that
criteria; feel the plan can be attractively designed based on the conditions
being imposed and concern for retaining as many trees on the premises as
possible.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT, the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved with Councilman Malcolm abstaining.
It was moved by Councilwoman McCandliss to incorporate in the ordinance the
condition that the stand of the mature trees on the northeast corner of the
acreage be preserved in its entirety. The motion died for lack of second.
Council discussion ensued regarding the merits of saving all of the mature
trees noting the older trees tend to become brittle and may be dangerous and
suggested they be replaced with either younger eucalyptus trees or another
species of trees.
Council Meeting - 6 - September ll, 1984
Council discussed Condition No. 5 which states:
"Removal of existing trees from site shall be evaluated by the
City's Landscape Architect for replacement with specimen sized
material in accordance with the approved landscape plan. Said
analysis shall include any trees removed after January l, 1983."
MSUC (Cox/Scott) to change Condition No. 5 to read:
"Removal of existing trees from the site shall be approved by the
City's Landscape Architect for replacement with specimen sized
material in accordance with the approved landscape plan. All
efforts shall be made to retain existing trees. Any trees removed
after January l, 1983 shall be replaced with specimen sized material
in accordance with the approved landscape plans."
MSUC (Scott/Moore) to place the ordinance as amended on its first reading, the
reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent with Councilman Malcolm
abstaining.
MSUC (Scott/Moore) that this item be automatically appealed to the City
Council (the landscape and site plans).
MSUC (Moore/McCandliss) that the detailed landscape plans of that area between
the residents to the east and the proposed structures to the west, be
coordinated with the property owners both east and west and the staff.
Councilman Malcolm returned to the dais at this time.
6. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF GPA-84-5 - PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
THE TEXT OF THE LAND-USE ELEMENT OF THE CHULA
VISTA GENERAL PLAN PERTAINING TO THE DEVELOPMENT
OF OTAY VALLEY REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
(Director of Planning)
a. RESOLUTION 11758 AMENDING THE TEXT OF THE LAND USE ELEMENT OF
THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN PERTAINING TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE OTAY VALLEY ROAD REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT AREA
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearing.
Director of Planning Krempl referred to his written report explaining that
while the text of the Land Use Element of the Chula Vista General Plan clearly
calls for the light industrial development of the Otay Valley Road area, it is
brief and silent with respect to the City's complex process for the promotion
and guidance of such development as well as the protection of the
environmental quality of adjacent residential areas. The proposed amendment
would strengthen the General Plan's statement on the Otay Valley Road area and
would provide pertinent developmental, conservation and plan processing
guidance.
Council Meeting - 7 - September ll, 1984
Staff recommends concurrence with the recommendation of the City Planning
Commission for adoption of the resolution and the Negative Declaration
IS-85-2.
Speaking in opposition was Henry Kohler, 1547-222 Sonora Drive, Chula Vista.
Mr. Kohler stated he was representing the California Homeowner's Council which
has over 1,O00 homeowners within a one mile radius of the area under
consideration. Mr. Kohler stated their concern is to see the Otay Valley Road
area upgraded with good architectural design with uses that will not create
any water, ground or air pollution.
There being no further comments either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILWOMAN McCANDLISS, the reading of the text was
waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
7. PUBLIC HEARING PCZ-85-A - CONSIDERATION TO REZONE 4.07 ACRES OF
SDG&E PROPERTY ON THE EAST SIDE OF I-5 FREEWAY
AND NORTH OF WALNUT AVENUE FROM R-3 TO I-L
GARDNER/GRETLER (Director of Planning)
a. ORDINANCE 2083 AMENDING ZONING MAP OR MAPS ESTABLISHED BY SECTION
19.18.010 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE REZONING
4.07 ACRES OF SDG&E PROPERTY ON THE EAST SIDE OF I-5
AND NORTH OF WALNUT AVENUE FROM R-3 TO I-L-P - FIRST
READING
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearing.
Director of Planning Krempl submitted plats noting the area in question, and
the adjacent land uses and zoning. He explained this item involves a request
to rezone the westerly 4.07 acres of the SDG&E property located on the east
side of Interstate 5 freeway and the northerly terminus of the llO0 block of
Walnut Avenue from R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) to I-L (Limited
Industrial).
The fact that the property is owned by SDG&E would limit the types of
industrial uses to those not involving permanent above ground structures. In
this instance, the applicants intend to use the property as a recreational
vehicle storage facility.
Staff recommends concurrence with the Planning Commission recommendation for
approval in accordance with their Resolution PCZ-85-A and the adoption of the
Negative Declaration issued on IS-85-3.
Director Krempl noted the Planning Commission's approval was based on ll
conditions - one involves the drainage plan which shall be completed to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer prior to or concurrent with the approval of
the precise plan. Councilman Moore questioned this proposal's impact on the
area to the north noting it is a rezoning from multiple family to an
Council Meeting - 8 - September ll, 1984
Mr. John Gardner, 753 Rogan Road, said the area is going to be used for
vehicle storage. The area to the north is buffered by a screen and there will
be a chain-link fence installed. In answer to Councilman Moore's question,
Mr. Gardner indicated it will be virtually impossible to monitor placing
"long-term" recreational vehicles on the northern property as opposed to
vehicles with short term usage.
There being no further comments either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Councilman Moore questioned whether a one year review condition can be put
into the ordinance. Director of Planning Krempl explained that with the "P"
modifier it must go through design review and staff can take into account the
land uses on the other side of the wall. Staff can also contact the
Mobilehome Association to make sure it is properly buffered and make this a
condition of the precise plan approval.
MSUC (Scott/McCandliss) to place the ordinance on first reading. The reading
of the text was waived by unanimous consent passed and approved unanimously.
8. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (None)
CONSENT CALENDAR (Items 9-12)
Councilman Moore asked for No. 12 to be pulled from the Consent Calendar.
9. RESOLUTION 11759 APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA AND PONDEROSA HOMES FOR PERPETUAL
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF A SEWAGE LIFT
STATION IN RANCHO ROBINHOOD III SUBDIVISION
(Director of Public Works/City Engineer)
Ponderosa Homes Inc., successors in interest to Robinhood Homes, Inc., the
original developers of the Rancho Robinhood III Subdivision, requested the
City agree to maintain and operate the subdivision's sewage lift station in
perpetuity.
The City has estimated an amount required to assure that sufficient funds will
be available to cover the anticipated annual maintenance/operation expenses
and has prepared an enabling agreement.
In answer to Councilman Malcolm's question, City Engineer Lippitt stated 4-5
homes will be served; however, after development, it could be as much as 10-12
homes. The cost of the sewer lift station will be between $10,O00-il2,000.
lO. RESOLUTION 11760 ORDERING THE SUMMARY VACATION OF THE PORTION OF
"K" STREET WEST OF BAY BOULEVARD TO THE SAN DIEGO
& ARIZONA EASTERN RAILWAY (CORONADO BRANCH) RIGHT
OF WAY (Director of Public Works/City Engineer)
Council Meeting - 9 - September ll, 1984
As part of the development of its property along the west side of Bay
Boulevard south of "J" Street, Ratnet Development Company has submitted an
application to the City to vacate the portion of "K" Street right-of-way lying
between Bay Boulevard and the Coronado Branch, S.D.& A.E. Railway
right-of-way. The vacation is necessary to accomplish the overall development
of the property according to the developer.
Community Development Director Desrocher submitted a plat of the "K" Street
vacation for Council viewing.
ll. RESOLUTION 11761 APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA AND ROBINHOOD POINT HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
FOR THE DEDICATION OF PRIVATE STREETS TO PUBLIC
STREETS (Continued from the meeting of
September 4, 1984) (Director of Public Works/City
Engineer)
Councilman Scott stated he is abstaining due to a potential conflict of
interest.
At the meeting of September 4, Council directed staff to return with a revised
agreement which would reflect Council's desires for specific conditions to be
placed upon the Homeowners' Association prior to acceptance of the private
cul-de-sacs as public streets. The fiscal impact would add costs to the City
for the maintenance of the private streets.
End of Consent Calendar.
12. REPORT REQUEST FOR CHANGE IN ORDINANCE REGARDING QUANITY
OF LIVESTOCK (Director of Planning)
At the City Council meeting of July 24, 1984, a written request was received
6 Avenue asking that the City amend Section
by Mrs. Gale Moriarity of 1 72 Ocala
6.04.010B of the Municipal Code to allow "two ponies" to be substituted for a
single horse, thus giving an individual the right to keep either one horse or
two ponies on a 20,000 sq. ft. lot. Based upon the definition in the
dictionary ( a pony is a small horse) and the ordinances in place in the other
local jurisdictions, staff recommends no change in the Chula Vista zoning
ordinance nor the animal regulations contained in the Municipal Code.
Councilman Moore discussed keeping of one horse on a 20,000 sq. ft. lot and if
Mrs. Moriarity's lot exceeds this square footage, she can conceivable have
another animal on her lot. Councilman Moore asked that a letter be written to
the applicant from the Director of Planning explaining she can apply to the
City Council for a waiver of the ordinance if her lot is less than 20,000 sq.
ft. City Attorney Harron noted the Code does not allow a waiver of the
ordinance; however, a variance can be applied for. The Council concurred that
the information in the staff report sent to Mrs. Moriarity explains "her
rights".
MSUC (Scott/Malcolm) to accept the report.
Council Meeting lO - September ll, 1984
13. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER
a. MSUC (Cox/Scott) for a Closed Session for a matter of personnel.
b. City Manager Goss stated that the City Engineer has notified him that Bay
Boulevard (between Palomar and "L") will be closed for two weeks because
of street construction.
REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS
14. REPORT REQUEST FROM ST. JOHN'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH FOR VARIANCE FROM
CITY'S POLICY ON PUBLIC SERVICE DIRECTIONAL SIGNS (Director of
Public Works/City Engineer)
Staff received a request from St. John's Episcopal Church for two directional
signs at the corners of "H" Street and First Avenue and "L" Street and First
Avenue. Staff has denied the request because it does not comply with the
Council Policy regarding public service directional signs on public streets.
Therefore, St. John's Episcopal Church is appealing this to the City Council.
Staff recommended that Council:
(1) Deny the request for a variance from City Policy No. 465-01, "Public
Service Directional Signs on Public Streets".
(2) Direct staff to increase the installation of maintenance charge on
public service directional signs to reflect full cost recovery at
today's charges.
MS (Moore/Cox) to accept the report.
Father Michael Carr, St. John's Episcopal Church, noted the size of the
proposed sign and the coloring and that it would not be a traffic hazard. The
signs are inexpensive because they are mass produced for the Church. The
signs can be mounted on a pole and are oversized by 6" in height and width.
Council discussion followed with the City Engineer regarding ille al signs in
the right-of-way such as those proposed by McDonalds and Fuller tFord) which
state "Drive Carefully' and other signs from other organizations in the City.
The City Engineer explained the process of attempting to get these signs
removed.
The motion to accept the staff recommendation carried unanimously.
MSUC (Scott/McCandliss) for the staff to report back on the illegal signs in
the City, to notify the property owners on which the signs are located and to
report back to the City Council if there is a problem and what is being done
to rectify it.
Councilman Malcolm noted a number of increased construction going on in the
City which might mean hiring new personnel to keep up with these workloads.
City Manager Goss stated he is sensitive to these projects and is monitoring
the staff in all departments noting especially Traffic Engineering.
