putting in this median strip. Councilman Scott added the $50,400 being
budgeted now should be contingent upon the people having an assessment
district to keep up the maintenance of the median island. He suggested staff
could look at this and come back with a report.

Mayor's proposal to have a section of "C" Street improved which he brought up
on the CIP tour. Mr. Lippitt noted the curve and more than one-half of the
sidewalk is already in and the remainder of that improvement could be put in
by City forces; therefore, this would not have to be a project for the Capital
Improvemen t Program.

upgrading or changing the architecture of the restrooms.

feature. Staff is continuing their investigation on it and will be reporting
back to the Council as to the total source of this funding (~31,000).
Councilwoman McCandliss indicated a water feature may not be appropriate for
that area. She would like to see some type of colorful flower garden adding
that $31,000 is a lot of money for a water feature. She could support it if
it was in the center or as a focal point of the Library and not to the side of
the building.

City Manager.

noted the Council is not closing out this account and it will be used as an
expenditure for the Library.
City Manager Goss remarked there are some interesting projects coming to the
Council for the Library in the next two or three years, one of them being the
lOth Anniversary of the Library which will be held in conjunction with the

spent on items of major impact to the City such as drainage projects.
A general Council discussion followed regarding the philosophy of Revenue

Scott left the meeting at this time (5:50 p.m.).
City Engineer Lippitt responded to the Council's questions regarding GT 172
(Bonita Road-Flower to 1-805 Street Lighting) stating the developer paid for
one third of the traffic signal; the base for the realignment is because of
the traffic signal. Councilman Scott indicated this could be a reimbursement

this.

project to see about the possibility of developer participation - with a
report back to Council.

SECTION 19.t8.010 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL
CODE REZONING 3.75 ACRES AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER

R-1 TO R-3-P-14 - FIRST READING
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox reopened the public
hearing.
City Council Meeting - ll - June 12, 1984
Director of Planning Krempl stated that on May 15, lg84, the City Council
adopted the Negative Declaration issued on IS-84-20; however, this item was
continued from that meeting in order that more information be provided on the
fol 1 owl ng:
+ 1. the cost of on and off-site improvements (single family versus multiple
family);
2. the density of the proposed project compared to a less dense project such
as 8 or lO D/U's per acre;
3. the impact and desirability of vehicular access onto Telegraph Canyon
Road;
4. the pros and cons of pedestrian access through to property; and,
5. the pros and cons of a three-way stop sign at Telegraph Canyon Road and
Mel rose Avenue.
The Council also referred the project to the Safety Commission for review and
report. The Commission is scheduled to meet on Manday, June ll.
Mr. Krempl noted that in the staff's report, there is a correction to a
statement "it does not appear that single family R-1 development would be very
expensive" - this sh'6~'ld read "it does appear".
Director Krempl went on to explain the density factor; economics and
landscaping; on-site and off-street improvements; topography and grading;
control under the precise plan; the pedestrian access proposed.
Traffic Engineer Glass reported the Safety Commission held its meeting last
night (june ll, 1984). Their actions were: concurring with the Planning
Department recommendation not to have a pedestrian access on this property;
that no additional stop signs be put on Melrose and Telegraph Canyon Road;
1 eft-turn pockets on Tel egraph Canyon Road would not create addi ti onal
problems; an additional recommendation of having on-site parking beyond the
Code requirements to be required for this project. The Commission also asked
the Traffic Engineer review the traffic in one year from the completion of the
project and come back with a report.
A general Council discussion continued regarding the amount of parking spaces
being proposed for the project; ingress and egress onto the project; the
advantages of having a median island on the surface road; off-street parking
on Malrose Avenue; advantages of having some red curb parking near the
driveways because of the site distance; the control with having the "P"
Modifying District Zone; and the project coming back to the City Council at
its request.
City Council Meeting - 12 - June 12, 1984
Mr. Stan Landis, Jefferson Street, San Diego, representing the developer,
referred to i~le letter received by the Council from Mr. Brickman who supports
the project. Mr. Landis commented on the economics of the project; the amount
of density being proposed as compared to that of the general plan; the impact
on the traffic and the left-turns onto Telegraph Canyon Road - noting Melrose
is designed to handle 5,000 cars per day and currently handles 700 ~ this is
14% of its capacity and with this proposed development, it will increase to
16.7% capacity. Mr. Landis added there will be no change to the environment
because of the project; there will be less students going from this project
than a 14 unitsingle family development. There will be a lower noise factor
because the complex is concentrated in the middle of the property and the
project will solve many of the neighborhood problems such as vandalism, fires,
alien-gatherings, etc.
Mr. Peter Hayes, 6134 Parkside, San Diego, explained he was a resident of the
area but now lives in San Diego. Since he has more expertise on how
government is run, he is helping the residents on Melrose Avenue. Mr. Hayes
alleged the developer is not constructing single family homes because he
cannot make as much money as with multi-family development. The property is
now in escrow and there is a question as to what will happen if the project is
disapproved. As to fire hazards, it is up to the property owner to maintain
the property Mr. Hayes referred to the petitions submitted by the residents of
tile area who do not support the complex development; the residents do support
a single family development.
Others speaking in opposition of the project were Gary S. Wetter, 883 Melrose;
Bob Norman, 908 Mission Avenue; Jim Tesch, 102 E1 Capitan, Richard King, 898
Melrose; and Gordon Peckas, 865 Melrose.
In summary their comments were: (1) the development is one of speculation;
the students use the area to cross over to the school; (3) the project should
not be approved until the traffic study on Telegraph Canyon Road is made; (4)
tile traffic figures submitted by the staff at the meeting of the Safety
Commission was "pulled out of a hat"; (5) a pedestrian access should be put
through the property, otherwise students will be using other properties in the
area for access to the school; (6) noted the accidents occuring on this road
and on East "L" Street; (7} there is another multi-family complex being
constructed on Nacion Avenue which will also generate traffic; (8) the
condominiums are all two bedroom and not enough on-street parking is
available; (9) there are no off-street parking requirements for the proposed
construction.
There being no further comments, either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Councilman Moore commented that the people living immediately adjacent to the
area are in favor of the development. The key should be the noise abatement,
the architecture of the exterior design and the landscaping. Councilman Moore
added these elements should be coming back to the Council for approval, if the
project is approved. Councilwoman McCandliss expressed her concerns regarding
City Council Meeting - 13 - June 12, 1984
the density factor and how well the project fits into the neighborhood - she
felt it was not in keeping with the harmony of the neighborhood. Mayor Cox
remarked that the worst alternative from a traffic standpoint, would be to
have the R-1 zone applied. This would "push" E1 Capitan onto Melrose Avenue;
so from that standpoint, he can support the R-3 zoning.
MS (McCandliss/Scott) for an ordinance to be brought back changing the zoning
from R-1 to R-3-P-IO.
Council discussion of the motion centered on the density factor; the fact that
lowering the density by a few units will not make that much difference; the
off-street parking requirements; the trespassing of the students over this
property to get to the school; the need for a three way stop on Melrose and
Tel egraph Canyon.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved with Councilman Malcolm and
Councilwoman McCandliss voting "no".
AMENDMENT TO THE RESOLUTION

prior to final approval so Council can see the details of the precise plan, to
be assured there is sufficient noise abatement and the landscaping, exterior
design, etc. would be met.
MSUC {McCandliss/Scott) the Council clearly states its intent to have a three
way stop at Melrose and Telegraph Canyon Road.
6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
a. Bess Pocklington, 656 Glover Street, Chula Vista, stated there is a need
for hiring a part-time analyst to go over such reports as coming from the
Air Pollution Control Board. City Manager Goss remarked $25,000 has been
budgeted for a consultant for this purpose.
b. Bob Norman, 980 Mission Avenue, Chula Vista, stated the bulldozers are
already working on the property at Telegraph Canyon Road. Mr. Norman
referred to a San Diego Magazine article in which the Mayor was quoted
as saying one and one half million dollars has been put into street
improvements between "E" and "I" Streets. Mr. Norman questioned when he
will be receiving a traffic study report on "L" Street which he has been
requesting for the past 20 years.
City Engineer Lippitt remarked the staff can report on the traffic on "L"
Street which will contain a list of the accidents; study the major
intersections; checkthe signal warrants and traffic counts and determine the
impact "H" Street has had on "L" Street. This report can be brought to the
Council within two or three months.
City Council Meeting - 14 - June 12, 1984
