PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES 4. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERING AN AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 5.20 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO OPERATION OF CARDROOMS; THEIR AMORTIZATION AND EVENTUAL PROHIBITION (Assistant City Attorney) (Continued from the Meeting of September 24) a. ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5.20 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE OPERATION OF CARDROOMS; THEIR AMORTIZATION AND EVENTUAL PROHIBITION - FIRST READING This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox declared the public hearing open. This ordinance, if adopted, would prohibit the issuance of new cardroom licenses and the amortization of existing cardrooms over a five-year period with the possibility of a three-year extension. MS (Malcolm/Moore) to file this item. Councilman Malcolm explained he would be willing to reconsider this in the future after further review of the current ordinance. The motion to file the item passed with Councilman Scott voting "no." 5. PUBLIC HEARING APPEAL FROM PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION ON PCC-85-22; REQUEST TO RELOCATE AN EXISTING CARDROOM FROM 11 THIRD AVENUE TO 631 "H" STREET - VEGAS CLUB, INC. (Director of Planning) (Continued from the meeting of September 24, 1985) This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox declared the public hearing open. Planning Director Krempl stated this item involves a request to relocate an existing cardroom from 11 Third Avenue to 631 "H" Street. A Planning Commission motion to approve the request failed. ~he applicant is now appealing this decision. Mr. Krempl noted the applicant intends to operate six card tables with eight players each within 1,700 square feet of space. The Vegas Club Cardroom currently operates with three tables. City Council Minutes -4- October 1, 1985 Planning Director Krempl submitted slides noting the uses in the Center, the parking layout, the number of spaces as required by ordinance, and peak traffic times. Staff recommended denial of the Conditional Use Permit. The Director pointed out that the applicant performed the parking survey rather than staff, and he feels that parking is ample in the area. In answer to Council's query, Director Krempl stated there is a mix of uses in the shopping center and staff has no control over the parking spaces occupied by new businesses coming into the Center. Mr. Fran Burger, owner of the Vegas Club Cardroom, noted that C&R Clothiers has been allocated 46 parking spaces which are generally not all used. Mr. Burger discussed the parking survey he performed at different times during the week. He mentioned a letter signed by every tenant in the Center supporting his use and stating that ample parking exists. Mr. Burger concluded his business cannot survive with less than six tables as his rent has almost doubled in the new location. In answer to Councilman Malcolm's question, Mr. Burger stated if C&R Clothiers moves out of their building, he has the option to sublease these premises. Ms. Harriet Stone, 6566 Ridgemanor, San Diego, 92120, owner of the shopping center across the street, protested the subject use. She pointed out that a special variance for the cocktail lounge has already been permitted by the City making this a "double variance." Also, the "H" Street location is a major thoroughfare and this use would not create a good image for the City. There being no further comments either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed. Councilwoman McCandliss commented the Council is consistently dealing with parking problems throughout the City. Since a variance currently exists on this site, she could not support granting another variance which would require additional, unnecessary parking. MS (McCandliss/Scott) to deny the appeal. Council discussion followed regarding "fairness" of this request; what will happen when C&R moves out; the suggestion to place a five-year condition on the request; the suggestion to reduce the number of tables in the cardroom to meet parking requirements; problems associated with the Las Flores Drive project when deferrals were called up; and increasing "H" Street traffic. City Council Minutes -5- October 1, 1985 Planning Director Krempl declared his support for the Negative Declaration prepared for the project. He explained the environmental review does not normally address parking spaces required for any use, per se, but deals with air quality, growth inducement and broader scope issues. Councilman Moore mentioned that a cardroom operation produces reduced number of trips than do other permitted uses (for example, a fast food restaurant), and thus requires less parking spaces. City Attorney Harron opined that the Conditional Use Permit could be made for a specific period of time (five years). If a time limit is placed on the applicant and the City Council has a concern on how much parking would be generated, a table limit could be required subject to yearly review by the Planning Director to consider adding more tables if no parking problems develop in the shopping center. The motion to deny the appeal failed by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Scott, McCandliss NOES: Cox, Malcolm, Moore ABSTENTIONS: None Councilman Moore questioned a possible condition on the time, number of tables (based on parking availability as it pertains to the entire complex), and the timeframe involved noting this should be determined by the City Attorney. MSUC (Scott/Malcolm) to refer this item back to staff for appropriate language granting the use. In answer to Mayor Cox's question, City Attorney Harron indicated an additional public hearing need not be held and a resolution could be prepared for Council consideration on October 15. 6. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR A WAIVER OF UNDERGROUNDING REQUIREMENTS AT THE OTAY LANDFILL BY PACIFIC LIGHTING ENERGY SYSTEMS (Director of Public Works/City Engineer) a. RESOLUTION 12188 APPROVING WAIVER FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 15.32.050 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox declared the public hearing open. City Council Minutes -6- October 1, 1985 Director of Public Works/City Engineer Lippitt explained Pacific Lighting Energy Systems (PLES) has proposed to build a methane recovery/power generation plant within the County's Otay Landfill site. All on-site utilities must be located underground at the time the property is developed as required by Code. PLES has applied for a waiver of this requirement. Staff agrees with the waiver request because it would be hazardous to underground lines due to the types of uses in this area. Mr. Richard Ontiveros, representing Pacific Lighting Energy Systems, stated none Of their projects have underground utilities. In response to Councilman Scott's query, Mr. Ontiveros noted SDG&E has studied the service to the PLES plant and has determined its feasibility. He added he was unaware of any other 12kv line from which it would be reasonable to run service.

Because the Founder's Day activities serve to promote the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project, $1,000 of the requested $1,600 will be reimbursed to the General Fund from the Redevelopment Agency. 13. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $3 MILLION PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF BONDS OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA TO PROVIDE FINANCING FOR COMMERCIAL FACILITIES TO BE DEVELOPED BY HOME DEPOT, INC. (Community Development Director) Councilman Malcolm stated he has a potential conflict of interest and will abstain on this item. (Councilman Malcolm left the dais at this time.) It is the opinion of bond counsel, Jones Hall Hill & White, that the proposed bond issue for the Home Depot project, located at 1-805 and "H" Street, should be judicially validated in the San Diego County Superior Court under Sections 860 and following sections of the Civil Procedure Code (to be filed within 60 days following the authorization of bonds). The resolution authorized the issuance of bonds and is the necessary first step towards the validation proceedings. The City of Chula Vista has been authorized to issue up to $4,649,000 in private activity bonds for 1985. The Home Depot project will use $3 million of that capacity. The City receives a fee of one-eighth of one percent for the issuance of industrial/commercial development bonds. The proposed $3 million bond issue would result in fees to the City totaling $3,750. Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the status of this project noting it was an unusual funding request in the first place. In response to her questions concerning breakdown of negotiations, Redevelopment Coordinator Kassman explained that original negotiations were with Security Pacific Bank. The Home Depot had apparently reached a credit limit with which the bank felt uncomfortable. As a result, Security Pacific Bank enlisted WESTPAC Bank of New York City. Mr. Kassman further explained that The Home Depot is reaching the $40 million national limit for IDB financing. Councilwoman McCandliss suggested this item be continued until a report or comments can be obtained from bond counsel concerning the authorization. Mr. Kassman noted the time element involved and suggested this item be considered on Thursday afternoon after the Redevelopment Agency meeting. City Council Minutes -11- October 1, 1985 Mayor Cox, noting this requires a 3/5s vote, stated he will be out of town on Thursday afternoon and Councilman Malcolm has a possible conflict of interest. MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to continue this item to Thursday, October 3, 1985 following the Redevelopment Agency meeting. (Councilman Malcolm abstained.) (Councilman Malcolm returned to the dais at this time.) 14. RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH THE FIRM OF RCG-INBUCON PRODUCTIVITY SERVICES, INC. FOR LIBRARY CONSULTING SERVICES AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR (Library Director) On July 16, 1985 the City Council authorized staff to enter into negotiations with RCG-INBUCON Productivity Services, Inc. for a productivity study of the Library's circulation activities and the costs of such a study. Library Director Lane stated the total cost for this proposal is $49,000. Therefore, an additional $39,000 needs to be appropriated from the unappropriated balance of the California Library Services Fund. Director Lane introduced Mr. Trevor McAllister, representing RCG-INBUCON. Mr. McAllister submitted a number of transparencies noting current circulation elements and his proposed concept of how this could be improved. He pointed out that a portion of his work will be accomplished by computer programming. Director Lane discussed the need for a reorganization of the system to save time without hiring additional personnel. Currently, 900,000 books are checked out of the library each year (350 per hour checked out and approximately that amount turned in). Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the cost to provide this service inasmuch as computer programming will be used to a great extent. Mr. McAllister responded that it would take approximately 10-12 weeks to complete the study and the computer programming was just an integral part of the project study. Director Lane stated Alternative A, recommended by staff, includes the full service agreement. She clarified the request is for $39,000 ($10,000 of which is already in the account). The total cost for the services is $49,000. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. City Council Minutes -12- October 1, 1985 RESOLUTIONS & ORDINANCES, FIRST READING 19o RESOLUTION 12195 AMENDING THE FY 1985-86 BUDGET TO ADD TWO (2) PEACE OFFICER POSITIONS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S UNIFORM DIVISION AND APPROPRIATING THE NECESSARY FUNDS (Director of Management Services) At the Council Conference on September 26, 1985, PAPE presented the Management Review of the Police and Fire Department. At that time, Council directed staff to bring back a resolution amending the FY 1985-86 budget to add two Peace Officer positions. The cost of adding the two Peace Officer positions for the remaining nine months of FY 1985-86 would approximate $52,600 in salary, fringe benefit, and initial clothing and equipment costs. These monies will be appropriated from the General Fund. (Annual recurring costs would approximate $77,600.) Mayor Cox questioned whether these positions would impact the motorcycle division. In response, City Manager Goss stated the resolution is for Peace Officer positions only and reactivation of the motorcycle division would occur in early 1986. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILWOMAN MCCANDLISS, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 20. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER a.

Mayor Cox asked that included in the report be information regarding access to the Bonita Long Canyon site. The motion to prepare a written report passed unanimously. 22. COUNCIL COMMENTS a. Councilman Scott stated he was "amazed" at Sweetwater Union High School District approving an increase in the school fees. The Council had asked them not to increase any fees until after the Task Force report was made available in November. Mayor Cox indicated this was a lack of cooperation and "slight" on the City Council and the Council should not be a party to collecting the school fees. City Clerk Fulasz mentioned that Superintendent Trujillo called prior to this afternoon's meeting. He stated since the school district fee was not an agenda item he wanted to be assured no action be taken at this meeting. She informed Superintendent Trujillo that discussion on this item could occur under Council Comments; therefore, he requested Council take no action on this item until after he can make a presentation to the Council. MS (Scott/Cox) to bring back a resolution on October 15, 1985 indicating the Council would no longer collect school fees (for the high school district only) and invite Superintendent Trujillo to make a presentation to the City Council prior to consideration of that resolution at the conclusion of public hearings (under Oral Communications). Discussion followed with Councilman Malcolm noting the lack of cooperation between the school district and the City Council, particularly relative to the recent increased election costs. City Attorney Harron explained the Council does not collect fees but requires a letter from the district stating that developer fees have been paid. Councilman Moore asked if the motion would pertain to just the increase of the fees from October 1. It was the concurrence of Council that the resolution would only affect those developments subsequent to October 1. City Council Minutes -14- October 1, 1985 Councilwoman McCandliss expressed concern regarding the lack of communication between the two agencies. She remarked the City should have a policy stating fees collected in Chula Vista should be spent in Chula Vista and new homeowners in Chula Vista should not be burdened with this. The motion to bring back a resolution passed unanimously. b. Mayor Cox requested a report back relative to the state funding of a grant to the Fallbrook School District. c. Councilwoman McCandliss suggested the 75th Anniversary Committee consider a project concerning the monument dedicated to war veterans located in Memorial Park Bowl.

MSUC (McCandliss/scott) that this consideration be approved by the Council, in concept, in order to work with staff on this project. d. Councilman Malcolm commented on the recent approvals made by the Design Review Committee. He suggested perhaps the Planning Commission review projects which have over 15-20 units. Councilman Scott shared Councilman Malcolm's concerns and pointed out that new members have been appointed to the Design Review Committee. He suggested a letter be forwarded to the Design Review Committee regarding the Council's experience during Planning Commission selection interviews. MS (Malcolm/Moore) to forward a letter to the Design Review Committee (DRC) telling them of Council's experiences with Planning (Commission) interviews suggesting perhaps they (DRC) are not being as stringent as they once were and should still be. Councilman Moore suggested a joint meeting of the City Council, Planning Commission and the DRC be scheduled to address concerns expressed this afternoon. Mayor Cox added that a tour be scheduled and included as part of this direction. Councilman Scott stated he will include these in his motion. Councilman Moore agreed and the motion carried unanimously. City Council Minutes -15- October 1, 1985 e. Councilman Malcolm discussed the recent Planning Commission approval of a 75-unit complex on Flower Street and Jefferson Street. He questioned the C-T zoning in the Broadway area between "E" Street and the South Bay freeway stating that this area could develop into a larger conversion which could house uses such as a "mile of cars." (Mayor Cox left the dais at this time.) MSUC Malcolm/Scott) to appeal this project. f.
