The Planning Commission has voted 4-2 to approve with the conditions as presented. Councilman Nader noted that the differences in the project were two fewer units and that the open space remained the same as the original proposal with the lot sizes increased. He inquired whether the Commission had held specific discussions regarding more open space. Mr. Leiter stated that the Commission had supported the project and that they had not held specific discussions on open space. Councilman Nader expressed his concern over the similarity of the street names and possible confusion for emergency response. Mr. Leiter stated that no comments had been received regarding the names and that the Director of Public Safety had reviewed the project. Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the conditions which expand the width of landscaping to 30 feet and which require more identifiable landscaping at intersections. Mr. Leiter stated that the 30 feet included an additional 15 feet to be added to the existing 15 foot requirement. Lot sizes will not be ehanged due to the requirement. Mr. Rod Bradley, Land Planner for BhA, 1615 Murray Canyon Road, San Diego, stated that the project meets all staff requirements and R17 zoning requirements. He stated that Mr. Don Gardner, property owner, was · present to answer any questions the Council had. Councilman Nader questioned whether the scaling back of the project was due to a market driven decision or due to the perceived desires of the City to have larger lots. Mr. Bradley stated that he felt the Council desired the project to be scaled back to 19 units in order to comply with R17 and felt that the project now conformed with those requests. Counc~man Nader stated that he would have preferred smaller lots and additional open space. Councilman Moore stated that a major concern was the on street parking. There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was declared elosed. Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the amount of Fill needed for the project. Mr. Leiter stated that the amount was unknown at this time.

One of the conditions was to soften the visual impact of the project. RESOLUTION OFFF_.RF2) BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text was waived, passed and approved unanimously. (Councilman Malcolm was absent.) Councilwoman McCandliss stated that this property had been identified by CV 2000 as an area to be preserved for open space.

(Councilman Malcolm absent.) OTI-IE~ BUSINESS 22. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS 22a. Mr. Don Lindberg, representing Ladera Villas, stated that the principals for the project were desirous of bonding for the approximately $50,000 in park fees rather than paying the fees at the time the final map is adopted as required by City ordinance. He stated that Ladera Villas would pay any interest that would be lost. City Attorney Hatton stated that he had no objections but felt that the staff was not comfortable in doing this. Staff has not done this in the past and the ordinance does require payment prior to adoption of the fmal map. Mr. Lindberg requested that the Council treat this project as a singular case and address as a policy issue. MSC (Cox/Moore) to refer back to staff, report to contain the pros and cons of bonding. (Councilman Malcolm absent.) Mayor Cox stated that ff the recommendation is to change, that they should amend the ordinance so that this would be available to everyone. City Manager Goss stated that he was not sure that the ordinance should be amended and that it should be considered after the report is received.. 22b. Mr. Paul Green was not in attendance when called by Mayor Cox. 22c. Mr. Victor A. Nolan, 12 Via Barberini, Chula Vista, stated that he had talked to staff as requested by Council regarding his sewer and water billing. He stated that there is no existing ordinance, rule or guideline which prohibits a park owner from charging any amount they want as long as they do not exceed the $8.70 maximum on the sewer bills. MINUTES -7- November 14, 1989 John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, stated that the billing is from the park owner and not the Sweetwater Authority. Even though each unit has a single meter, the meter is not read by the authority. Mr. Nolan stated that he receives a billing from the park owner which includes water, sewer, gas, and space rent. He further stated that he had approached the park owner and agreed to a charge for the reading of the individual meters. Mayor Cox stated that this is a gross error and that the Council should take swift action to preclude anyone from charging for services not being provided. City Attorney Hareon stated that the increase is probably lxeated as a rent increase. Councilman Moore stated that the middleman should not be allowed to make a profit on utilities. Mr. Lippitt stated that staff would have a report for Council the first part of December. 23. pLn.L~r~ FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR Item 15.

He informed the Council that he would pursue donation of the property and ff not feasible pursue the out right purchase of the property and appraisal. He stated that the current price of $65,000 was excessive and that the property would be ercremely costly to develop. Councilman Moore stated that development of the property would be extremely costly in order to protect the 100 year storm drain. He felt that the owner should be notified of possible costs and of the tax write off for a donation of the property. Mayor Cox stated that the appraisal may be needed even ff the prepen7 was donated. MSC (CoX/Moore) to accept the staff report and adopt Resolution 15385. Staff is directed to contact property owner regarding the donation of the property. (Councilman Malcolm absent.) Mayor Cox commended Mrs. McQuade for bring this property to the Council's attention. MINUTES -8- November 14, 1989 24. ca IY MAMAGER'S REPORTfS] 24a. City Manager Goss stated that the information regarding this item had just been faxed to him. The /~9~ meeting will be held on 11/28/89 to discuss the Resource Recovery Center, The County is not taking action on this item until further environmental information is received. He further stated that he felt the City should wait until the environmental information was received and assurances that there were no major problems with this project. He felt that if a letter of collaboration was signed that it would appear as an endorsement. Councilman Nader stated that he agreed that there should not be approval of this project at this time. He questioned whether a response was needed before the County could proceed with the environmental impact report. City Manager Goss stated that staff had not been given sufficient time to research but that he felt the County would not have to act before proceeding with an EIR. Councilman Nader stated that the County should be notified that the City is interested in the idea but would withhold support until an EIR is complete. Benefits of the project would be productive use of felons and the recycling of trash. He did not want to discourage the project as it may be a solution to the environmental problem. Councilwoman McCandliss stated that it was premature to ~ive oun-ight approval to the facility. She felt that there were issues still unanswered and questioned whether the letter to the State should include acknowledgement of new technologies and invite the State to proceed with the EIR but stop short of endorsement. MSC (Nader/Moore) to send a letter which asks the County to inform State authorities of potential interest in the proposal but not to endorse until an EIR is completed. (Councilman Malcolm absent.) City Manager Goss stated that the letter should go to the County Board of Supervisors and the deadline is November 21, 1989 with the meeting to be held on November 28, 1989. Councilman Nader stated that he hopes the project pans out environmentally. Councilwoman McCandliss stated that it should be understood that the Council is to be consulted as the EIR and project proceed. 27b. City Manager Goss stated that past direction from Council would recommend denial of the extension of the Appropriate Technologies II [BIqQ fac~ity lease. He stated that the existing lease expires in September. He noted that the plant meets siting requirements and that he had been told that it would take approximately four years for BKK to relocate. Therefore, the lease extension was for five years which would allow BKK time to select a site and relocate. Mr. Jim Lantty, representing Appropriate Technologies II (BKK), 427 C Street, #408, San Diego, stated that his company was fully committed to relocating their plant. He stated that the Board of Supervisors and the City of San Diego were reconvening the Tanner Commission to locate sites for not just their company but others also. He requested that the extension be amended so that once a suitable site was located and permitted, the lease would expire. Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the four year time period estimated to relocate. Mr. Lantry stated that it would take 3-5 years to get through the State. He noted that it was to the economic benefit of the company to move to a larger site and that they were not looking within Chute Vista. MINUTES -9- November 14, 1989 Councilwoman McCandliss stated that she felt it was important to go on record that this should be a fully agendized item with public review and hearings. She noted that the CoLtneff had contacted the State regarding licensing and environmental concerns and she would not encourage the extension of the lease. She stated that she felt a responsibility to notify the Board of Supervisors that the lease would not be extended and that the Council would maintain their position regarding the relocation. Councilman Nader stated that he agreed and that the letter should include how difficult it is to move a company due to siting requirements. He felt that BKK was sincere in their efforts to relocate and that the time period of four years suggests that an extensive EIR was needed and that there should not have been a negative declaration. Mr. Lantry stated that the company is in the process of an EIR in order to meet State requirements. He stated that the four year time frame was due to the process of obtaining State licensing. Mayor Cox questioned where the waste was generated. Mr. Lantty stated that the majority of the customers were within the county but that larger shipments were received from outside the county. Mayor Cox stated that it did not make sense to have industrial waste coming into Chula Vista from long distances and agreed with Councilmembers Nader and MeCandliss. He stated that Council input may not make a significant difference with the Board but that it should be stated that the site should not have been in Chula Vista. Councilman Moore stated that the plant should not be located in a residential area but should be sited where the public would not complain. He stated that it was bad to locate a plant of this type at the extreme southwest edge of our city, county and state. The transportation path into such a facility should also be considered. MSC (Cox/McCAndliss) to ~ City Council position in opposition to site. (Councilman Malcolm absent.) Councilwoman McCandliss stated that she had learned a valuable lesson, that once a plant is there, any changes can affect the City. Councilman Nader stated that he strongly urged the City to facilitate BKK in their move to a new site and that he felt an extension of the lease warrants an EIR as much as a new site. 25. MAYORS REPORT(S) 25a. RESOLUTION 15389 URGING THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLA'IIJRE TO AMEND THE SAN DIEGO / ~c~" UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT ACT TO PROVIDE SHARING OF REVENUES WITH Dls-fRICT CITIES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY PURPOSES Mayor Cox stated that the five cities which created the Port District in 1964 announced a proposed program of Revenue Sharing. He noted that the City of Chula Vista had been the recipient of many projects and would ask for assistance in the future. He stated that the proposal does not touch current revenues but only those funds certified by the Port as surplus. Last years surplus funds are estimated to be approximataly $40- 45 m~lion. The percentage has not been worked out but 40% had been discussed. It is anticipated that Chula Vista would receive approximately $2.4 - 2.7 million per year. These funds would only be utilized for public safety purposes which would include police, fire, life guards, emergency equipment, etc. It will be important to insure that the Port Diswict continues to operate with the same composition and voting authority as in the past. It will also insure that Imperial Beach will continue to operate and function as a MINUTES -10- November 14, 1989 southbay community and will also provide a significant continuing source of income to provide facilities and programs. The other cities have a similar resolution before them and he would urge the Council to adopt. Councilwoman McCandliss stated that the Council had worked hard to secure a revenue base for the City but was concerned about the possible downside of the proposal. She felt that the resolution was very generic and questioned who would determine the funding formula. She further questioned the ability of the Port District to fund other projects ff the sharing of revenues occurred. She wanted it clearly understood that money would be there to draw upon if needed. Mayor Cox stated that he had been a strong defender of the Port District and was emphatic that this effort goes forward due to the support of the five cities. He stated that it would have to be clear that there were no hidden agendas to amend the Port District. He noted that the City could oppose the legislation once it was drafted. He stated that several legislators would seek the input of the cities and if approved by the Port District would sit down and put together a proposal to include with the bill. He expressed his concern over the need for a safety net for the Port District which would allow for the flexibility to fund major items as well as a safety net for the cities which would allow them to budget a base amount. He stated that there were still issues that would have to be resolved. City Manager Goss stated that the major concern was regarding monies received from tide lands and whether they could be spent on non tide lands projects. He also stated that all five cities will have to agree on the formula and that it would not be an easy issue. Councilman Moore stated that there were two points of view: 1) was the changing of a working system, and 2) that properties originally in the cities are still in the boundaries. There would need to be checks and balances on shared funds. He also questioned basic fee versus percentage and the need to protect the Port District. He expressed his concern over the ability of the Port District to fund major projects if the sharing of revenues is implemented. He suggested that the proposal include the ability to relinquish the city percentage until the project is complete and then reinstate the percentage to the city. Councilwoman MeCandliss stated that she did not want to be misinterpreted regarding opposition of bringing in revenues to the City. She stated that she supported the concept but wanted assurances that as the project develops the checks and balances are in place. She stated that she wants to clearly understand who decides on the formula and expressed concern that the Citys fate would be in someone elses hands. She also stated that she would like this item brought back for further review and discussion. City Manager Goss stated that he has discussed the proposal with the other cities and with the Port District and that there would be a lot of give and take ahead. The proposal is only conceptual at this time and there are many issues to be discussed. He felt that the City should be held harmless and that conditions for emergencies would have to be worked out. He informed the Council that the City's legislative consultant will monitor the project. RF_BOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was waived, passed and approved unanimously. (Councilman Malcolm absent.) 25b. Mayor Cox stated that the Telegraph Canyon Creek Flood Control Project was completed. The project was approximately $10 million and a dedication would be held on Thursday, November 30, 1989 at 11:00 p.m. on the SDG&E property that had been dedicated to the City for this project. 25c. Mayor Cox stated that the Baldwin Company had agreed to donate 400 acres of their land for the possible site of a University of California campus in Chula Vista. He stated that Mr. Tony Trujillo was chairman of a citizens group being formed to promote the Chula Vista site. Mayor Cox informed the audience that if they would like to be involved in this group, they should contact the City Manager's Office or the Mayor's Office. IVIINLrI~S -11- November 14, 1989 25d. Mayor Cox informed the audience that the Christmas Parade would start at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 3, 1989 with the tree lighting held at 3:30 p.m. There will be no snow this year due to legal liability and noted that funds that were set aside for the snow will be donated to the Red Cross for earthquake relief in San Francisco. 25e.

Questioned as to when the traffic report would be given to Council for review and stated that she had hoped to have this information before the growth management meetings. She stated that this should be reviewed on an annual basis. Councilman Malcolm: 26b. Stated that upon initial review of the proposed revenue sharing program from the Port District that he felt is was a great idea. He stated that after review, he could not support giving any of the Port Districts revenues away without further information. He stated that the Port District should use excess revenues to clean up the bays (Southbay and San Diego Bay) and that he felt it was inappropriate to pass the resolution at this time. He further stated that the bays and water should be number one priority. Mayor Cox agreed that the bays and the water were a high priority and stated that he was not suggesting that the cities jeopardize the legal and moral obligation of the Port District to assist in cleanup. He noted that the Mayor's were in support and were now wring to get statements of interest for the concept. Councilman Malcolm stated that everyone would like more money and extra programs but that the bay cleanup should be first. He also noted that the Port District has not completed a trolley line from the convention center to the airport or widened Harbor Drive to the airport. He encouraged Mayor Cox to see that Chula Vista projects were funded first and then water and transportation projects. Councilman Moore: 26c. Commented on the sand and gravel operation east of Otay Lakes and the size and number of vehicles accessing the facility. He questioned the number of trips per day and the route through Chula Vista and felt these should be monitored regarding the affect on transportation in the City. City Manager Goss stated that there was no new information available but that the number of trucks was not as great as anticipated. He stated that staff would submit a report to Council that would include: number of trips, routes, streets impacted, and adverse comments.
