4. RESOLUTION llg33 ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS (Assistant City Attorney)
The Government Code authorizes a City to establish procedures and requirements
for the consideration of development agreements. This resolution provides
such procedures to be developed independently for each agreement.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCIL~AN MOORE, the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
5A. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF THE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA)
PLAN, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND FINANCING PLAN,
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT EASTLAKE I - PCM-B4-g
(Director of Planning)
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearings on Items 5A, B, C and D.
Director of P1 anning Krempl explained that on January 29, 1985, the City
Council certified Final EIR-84-1 for EastLake I, adopted the amendment to the
General Development Plan and approved in concept the SPA Plan, Public
Facilities and Financing Plan and Development Agreement and referred the
latter three items back to the Planning Commission for recommendation.
Director of Planning Krempl explained that Item 5A involves the consideration
of the EastLake I Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan and related items for a
892 acre project. The project represents the first phase of development of
the Janal Ranch which contains 3,073 acres. The first phase was annexed to
the City in August 1983.
The EastLake I SPA Plan covers a smaller area (892 acres) than the 1,267.9
acres addressed in the EastLake I General Development P1 an. The EastLake I
SPA P1 an does not include the area south of Telegraph Canyon Road (currently
named Otay Lakes Road).
City Council Meeting - 3 - February 19, 1985
The purpose of the EastLake Sectional P1 anning Area (SPA) Pl an is to provide a
more specific plan for the development of a planned community which, due to
its size or complexity cannot be subdivided and built in its entirety at one
time and it also provides the planning framework (land use, density, open
space, circulation, public facilities, and design policy) to guide the
preparation of individual project plans.
The purpose of the Public Facilities and Financing Plan is to set forth the
method and source of funding by the developer to finance the public facilities
required to support the project and a development phasing plan setting forth
capital improvement program elements and schedules for implementation.
The development agreement specifies the time during which the City agrees not
to change its regulations, the permitted uses of the property, the density or
intensity of uses, and provisions for dedication or reservation of land for
public purposes.
Mr. Krempl showed slides of the projected phasing of the EastLake development
describing the four stages of development in sequential stages and specific
improvements for each one of those phases. He showed a composite of the
proposed traffic improvements throughout the entire eastern area representing
the cumulative traffic analysis and summary totals as well as a chart of the
conversion factors showing land use and trip generation Table for equivalent
dwelling unit factors.
The conditions of approval of EastLake I SPA Plan include: lotting and street
pattern, street connections, alignment of the street connection, Lot 64,
right-of-way width for future Route 125, affordable housing units for low-and
moderate income households, modifications of lotring, grading, street patterns
and connections. In order to promote density flexibility and residential
diversity, the transfer of dwelling units may be approved without amending
said plan when evidence is proposed that the proposed transfer would
substantially improve the spatial or functional relationship of land uses.
Mr. Krempl reported the P1 arming Commission recommended approval unanimously
with the exception of two changes:
1. Provision on requirement for manufactured homes. The Commission
agreed that manufactured homes would be more expensive and that the
provision be transferred to apartment type units to be provided in
the Village Center.
2. The Commission was also concerned that construction of low-density
units would be left until the end of the project. They recommended
that prior to 50% of the total project being developed
31 low-density units would have to be "on-line" and when the project
is 90% completed an additional 73 units would have to be developed.
-- City Council Meeting - 4 - February 19, 1985
Councilwoman McCandliss questioned what protection could be brought in to
allow provisions to be made in reviewing traffic needs in the area with
industrial development incorporating more traffic during the first year.
Director Krempl explained the Financing Plan and Development agreement
stipulates certain improvements to be in place prior to anticipated needs
occurring. Council will have the ability to stop the process of any phase as
necessary to make sure construction begins before those thresholds occur.
Council discussion ensued regarding the various aspects of the Financing
Plan; allowing tax-exempt financing for the developer for off-site
improvements; staff and developer being in concurrence with off-site
improvement changes requested by United Enterprises; annual monitoring costs
are the responsibility of the developer; schools to be funded through
Mello/Roos bill; facility benefit assessment with other agencies such as the
County; density transfers are limited within the SPA and any transfers would
have to be reviewed and approved by Council; assessment district reimbursement
mechanism; cost of staff time for major assessments to be reimbursed by the
developer and amenity improvements to be assured through bonding.
5B. PUBLIC HEARING PCZ-85-D, AK~ENDMENT OF THE EASTLAKE I PLANNED
COMMUNITY DISTRICT REGULATIONS (ORDINANCE NO. 2002)
Planning Consultant Gray explained that on September 7, 1982, the City Council
· adopted Planned Community District Regulations for EastLake I. At that time,
the regulations were general because specific plans of development were not
available. The Environmental Impact Report was certified by the City Council
on January 29, 1985.
The proposed PC Zone regulations reflect a "custom" set of zoning standards
intended to carry out the goals and objectives of the overall SPA plan.
mr. GraJ, explained EastLake is different from other projects in that a large
portion of this first phase is being developed simultaneously with several
projects being developed now and continuing within the next five years; it is
necessary to have an adopted set of zoning standards before the development
starts; Planned Community Zoning Regulations have been prepared for this
specific development. The regulations are compatible with existing zoning
regulations; however, where there is a need, staff proposed the higher
standards.
Mr. Gray explained the document is divided into nine sections covering various
residential areas of projects. The regulations cover general provisions,
residential uses and development standards, commercial use and development
standards, business center districts, open space districts, special uses and
conditions, comprehensive sign regulations, off-street parking and
administrative procedures.
Mr. Gray explained the following features which differ from current City
· practices: (1)administrative review; (2) EastLake Shores condominium '
regulations; (3) off-street parking standards; (4) noise regulations; a~n~t
sign regulations.
City Council Meeting - 5 - February 19, 1985
Council discussion continued regarding increased number of compact spaces for
off-street parking for the condominiums; if development agreement would
prohibit density bonuses for developer for providing low-and moderate income
housing; increased traffic generated on Rutgers Avenue; and the lack of
provision for equestrian and bike trails.
5C. PUBLIC HEARING CHULA VISTA TRACT 84-9, TENTATIVE RESIDENTIAL
SUBDIVISION MAP FOR EASTLAKE I
Principal Planner Lee explained the subdivision map filed for the residential
area identified as EastLake Hills and EastLake Shores encompasses 282 acres of
land proposed to be subdivided into residential lots. In addition, there will
be nearly 150 acres of open space, a lO-acre elementary school site, and
nearly 24 acres of parkland which includes a 17-1/2 lake area part of the
residential package. An additional l-l/2 acre of mini-parks area is included
with the residential development acreage and the major circulation streets
such as "H", the two north/south loop systems and the main connecting roads
are excluded from these acreage totals.
Mr. Lee stated the tentative map incorporates: defined improvements, off-site
facilities, landscaping plans, formation of an open space maintenance
district, developer shall not be required to pay residential construction tax
(RCT) or park acquisition development (PAD) fees obligating the developer to
construct approximately 26+ acres in park; developer shall be obligated to
provide a minimum of ll9 moderate income units within the EastLake
Shores/Hills Subdivision (80% to 120% of the median income) as approved by the
City's Housing Coordinator; evidence that the school districts are able to
provide school service to the future residents of that area; fire retardant
plant materials; a copy of the CC&R's and master homeowners agreement with the
City shall be filed, plus miscellaneous conditions pertaining to the
development of the area.
Council discussion ensued regarding connecter road between East "H" Street and
Telegraph Canyon Road; developer required to have a certain percentage of
square feet in lot size indicated in PC regulations; setback provisions for
small er lots; and subdividing of lots for financing purposes.
5D. CONSIDERATION "CANDIDATE CEQA FINDINGS" - EASTLAKE I
The final EIR for the EastLake I project identifies several potentially
significant impacts. The "CEQA" findings describe how the project, in its
final form, mitigates those impacts or why it is not feasible to mitigate
those impacts.
Environmental Coordinator Reid explained the following revisions presented
since the last hearing:
1. Page 2 paragraph 2, clarification of the improvements proposed on
San Miguel Road.
City Council Meeting - 6 - February 19, 1985
2. Page 3, three paragraphs describing the traffic monitoring system,
financing plan, phasing plan and year to year monitoring to assure
improvements are in place or circumstances have not changed which
could affect the need for different facilities.
Robert Santos, 701 "B" Street, Suite 730, San Diego, representing EastLake
Development Company project applicant, stated that as a result of ll months of
positive discussion with City staff EastLake supports staff recommendations
and the Planning Commission recommendations.
Mr. Santos addressed various questions regarding the following:
Condition on SR125 regarding United Enterprises request on Condition No. 2 vs.
Condition No. l: If SR 125 is needed prior to completion, EastLake would be
required to fund this project. In regard to the monitoring program of the
Public Facilities Financing Plan, the preparation of the package necessary for
annual review would be done at the developers expense and they would be
responsible for financing and later be reimbursed on an equitable basis. The
reserve fund: developer will be responsible for preparing the annual fiscal
impact consultant by the City's consultant - cost to be reimbursed out of any
proceeds fund. Tax-exempt financing: $20 million dollars worth of
improvements are proposed to be financed through the Mello/Roos district
funding. Mr. Santos explained there are no other vehicles available with
- which to build schools. The lgll and lgl5 Assessment Acts do not allow City's
to build schools. They are exploring the possibility of additional tax-exempt
financing. They anticipate using Mello/Roos funds in the Public Facilities
Financing P1 an and request City permission to use this as a tax exempt tool.
In response to Mayor Cox's question, City Attorney Harron opined that the
development agreement would supercede any density bonuses allowed under State
law.
There being no further comments either for or against, the public hearings
were declared closed.
Council discussion continued regarding the exclusion of potentially hazardous
industrial uses within the PC zoning regulations; quality of construction to
be determined by individual design review of each project; setback standards
and landscaping requirements are defined to reflect an attractive industrial
park; traffic concerns regarding burdening the road capacity; and acceptable
density for the employment park.
In response to Councilman Moore's question, Director Krempl explained all
changes are reflected in the Planning Commission resolution along with the
errata conditions requested by United Enterprises.
MSUC (Scott/Moore) to adopt the suggestions that have been approved by the
Planning Commission and have been brought to the attention of the City Council
by Mr. Spata, in the appropriate place.

Commerce presented the Chula Vista brochures to the Councilmembers. He
thanked Council/staff and committee members for their help in this
project.
b. MS. Ottilie Chomiak, 1521B Apache Drive, Chula Vista, said she lived in a
Navy Housing project 30 years ago and experienced a lot of difficulty as
far as accessible facilities were concerned. She recommended Council
find an alternate site for Navy housing on Telegraph Canyon Road that
would better meet the needs for Navy personnel (shopping areas,
hospitals, etc.).
c. Mr. Hugh Hyde, 1915 Cove Place, representing Chula Vistan's Against
Government Waste, expressed concern with Telegraph Canyon Point as a
chosen site for Navy housing. He explained this site was the 13th choice
and has met less than 30% of SANDAG's requirements. He made the
following recommendations: (1) develop better housing criteria for Navy
enlisted personnel; (2) assess and evaluate this location; (3) appoint a
Task Force to search for better sites in the community; (4) enlisted
service personnel deserve better housing; and (5) government needs to get
the best value for the dollar and Telegraph Point is not the best value.
City Council Meeting - 8 - February 19, 1985
MS {Scott/McCandliss) to form a con~nittee or have the staff look into the
possibility of alternate sites for the Naval housing.
Discussion involved Council's commitment to the Navy after they have expended
funds to purchase the property; widening of Telegraph Canyon Road prior to
approval of the project; commitment to Navy and residents to find an alternate
site for the housing project; not that many sites available in residential
size; Navy need for 6,000 units; realistic time frame for study designated as
60 days; recommend Housing Coordinator be brought into the study; Navy agreed
to density, design recommendations of Council and have proposed less units and
more setbacks than formerly approved; Navy stated if Council did not want the
site they would stop the project; Council never committed itself to that site
and never had an opportunity to make a decision.
ADDITION TO THE MOTION
Councilmember Scott stated he would put in a 60 day time limit to the motion.
Counci 1 woman McCandl i ss agreed to the second.
Mayor Cox said he would support the motion with the understanding he does not
have opposition to this particular site. The City has an obligation to find
suitable sites for Navy housing projects. While this may not be the most
preferred location, as far as availability of transportation and shopping
areas, there are municipal facilities adjacent to this site.
In answer to Director Krempl's question regarding site zoning, Mayor Cox
stated staff should attempt to find locations with existing zoning.
The motion for the 60-day staff study carried unanimously.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS
17. REPORT REDESIGNATION OF MAYOR'S ELDERLY AND HANDICAPPED
TPJkNSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE (Director of Public
Works/City Engineer)
Prior to the last SCOOT Board meeting on December lg, 1984, Mayor Cox
requested the Transit Coordinator investigate the feasibility of placing
HandYtrans under SCOOT Board authority for the following main reasons:
· 1. Although HandYtrans serves individuals residing in the
unincorporated areas adjacent to Chula Vista (such as Montgomery and
Castle Park), residents of the unincorporated area may not serve on
the Mayor's E1 derly and Handicapped Transportation Advisory
Committee due to the failure of Proposition E i n the November 1984
election.
2. The scope of the Committee should be expanded to include
consideration of elderly and handicapped issues pertaining not only
to HandYtrans, but al so to the fixed route system, Chul a Vista
Transit (CVT).
The Director of Public Works/City Engineer recommended Council recommend to
SCOOT Board that the Board redesignate the Mayor's Elderly and Handicapped
Transportation Advisory Committee as the SCOOT E1 derly and Handicapped
Transportation Advisory Committee (Option 2).
MSUC (Scott/Moore) to accept Option No. 2 of the report (to change the name to
go under SCOOT).
Mayor Cox asked if there was a need to readvertise to fill those two
vacancies. City Attorney Harron stated regarding the vacancies under the
Maddy Act, SCOOT would have to provide a ten day notice by advertising.
City Council Meeting - 13 - February 19, 1985
18. REPORT SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT POLICY (Community Development
Director)
The City's Senior Housing Development Policy responds to the tenancy
requirements of seniors by allowing density bonuses and development standards
waivers on senior rental projects under a conditional use permit in exchange
for a 25-year commitment of those units as affordable rents for occupancy
exclusively by low-income seniors. To date, 327 units have been produced
under this policy. The Council has expressed reservations about approving
additional units under this policy until certain issues can be more fully
assessed.
The Community Development Di rector recommended that Council continue to
evaluate and approve or disapprove Senior Housing Development Policy projects
on a case-by-case basis on the merits of each individual project and direct a
review of the policy in approximately six months at which time the al ready
approved projects will be occupied.
Councilwoman McCandliss suggested attaching the Senior Housing Development
Policy with the report.
Councilwoman McCandliss asked if the requirement is for all senior housing to
be handicapped ready with appropriate apparatus. Housing Coordinator
Gustarson stated he was not aware Council wanted to have that as part of the
project but it could be added.
Tim Connole, 13715 Poway Road, Poway representing Connole Construction Company
asked to present hi s proposed project to be bull t on Church Street. Mayor Cox
recommended Mr. Connole present his project at a future time when i t may come
to Council as a public hearing.
Maggie Helton, 162 Mankato Street, Chula Vista, representing the Commission on
Aging stated she supports staff recommendations for senior housing noting
Chula Vista has done more than any other city i n the County in supporting
their elderly. Mrs. Helton shared her concern with too much concentration of
downtown senior housing turning into a "senior ghetto" and also for the loss
of the grocery store in the downtown area.
Eric C. Money-Penny, 7~ "G" Street, Chula Vista stated finding Senior Housing
i s becoming critical and asked Council to approve staff recommendations for
more senior housing.
MSUC (Malcolm/Scott) to accept the report.
MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) to add an amendment to the policy to be brought before
the Council requiring handicapped hardware apparatus in the (senior
development) units~
Councilman Malcolm requested the cost of those items be reported by the
Commission on Aging for a report back and Mayor Cox suggested looking at the
entire policy and initiating any amenities to be included or modified.
City Council Meeting - 14 - February 19, 1985
19. MAYOR'S REPORT
a. Mayor Cox asked staff to report at the Agency meeting Thursday on the
City fountain in Memorial Park as some of the lights are apparently out.
b. Mayor Cox commented on the grates which will be required to be put on at
