Pursuant to the mandate of the State Planning and Zoning Law
(Government Code), the Chula Vista Planning Department has
prepared the Draft Housing Element of 1986 of the Chula Vista
General Plan which amends the Housing Element of 1981. The draft
was submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community

compliance with the governing statute on April 23, 1986.
An Initial Study IS-86-44 of possible adverse environmental
impacts of the project was conducted by the Environmental Review
Coordinator, who, on June 4, 1986, issued a Negative Declaration.
The Draft Housing Element incorporates the following revisions:
a) Inclusion of the 3.5 square miles of the Montgomery
Community.
b) The update assessment and identification of regional and
local housing needs.
c) Preliminary initial consideration of the regional needs
of the homeless.
The Montgomery Planning Committee reviewed the Draft Housing
Element of 1986 on June 4, 1986, and recommended Planning
Commission and City Council adopt the Negative Declaration and the
Housing Element.
On July 9, 1986 the City Planning Commission recommended Council
adopt the Negative Declaration and Housing Element.
MINUTES 7 August 19, 1986
The recommendation was that Council:
1. Find the adoption of the Draft Chula Vista Housing Element of
1986 will have no significant environmental impact and adopt
the Negative Declaration issued under IS-86-44.
2. Adopt the Draft Housing Element of 1986 as a component of
Chula Vista General Plan.
Councilman 14oore suggested rewording the sentence on page 22,
paragraph 9 of the draft Housing Element, specifically referring
to the word "slum," and deleting the word "many" in the first
sentence of paragraph "H" on page 30.
There being no public testimony either for or against, the public
hearing was closed.

4. RESOLUTION 12680 APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA AND THE GIRLS' AND BOYS' CLUBS

EXCEED $250,000 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A
NEW CLUB FACILITY AND WAIVING ALL PERMIT
FEES AND APPROVING A SECOND AMENDMENT TO
THE LEASE AGREEMENT (DirectOr of Parks &
Recreation)
At its June 18, 1985 meeting, the Council appropriated $250,000 to
be loaned to the Clubs, interest free, on a matching basis, for
the construction of a Girls Club wing, a Boys Club wing, and a
multi-purpose field at the facility on Oleander Avenue. Council
requested that the agreement outline how the loan would be repaid
MINUTES - 8 - August 19, 1986
and how the funds would be disbursed. Council also requested that
staff be involved in the development and monitoring of the
construction project and ensure that the Clubs' activities
complement, rather than compete with, the City's recreational
programs. Staff was also directed to outline the procedure for
disposing of the Boys Club property at Fifth Avenue and "I" Street.
John Rindone, 430 Corte Maria Avenue, Chula Vista, representing
the Girls/Boys Club of Chula Vista, requested approval of the loan
request; suggested amendments to the agreement prior to Council
approval (loan payback will start in llth year); ~200,000
contribution has been received; 20-year interest-free loan for
first ten years, non-amortized has been offered; developer
proposes to build facility at cost; Western Fund Control will
provide accounting services; construction anticipated to begin no'
later than October 1, 1986.
Councilman Malcolm suggested in order to utilize loan funds for
future youth-oriented activities, these funds be paid back to the
City before further expansions contemplated by this organization.
In answer to Council's questions, Mr. Rindone stated he could
commit to Councilman Malcolm's suggestion--no expansions prior to
loan payback--loan payback would begin at the llth year, instead
of the end of the first year, in equal payments, for the duration
of the loan.
Council discussion followed regarding the proposed amendments,
including:
1) Term of full loan repayment would be for 20 years with
equal payments due annually beginning the llth year after
completion of construction;
2) prior to any expansion and construction of facility,
Chula Vista Girls & Boys Club will agree to repay the
loan;
3) loan may be paid back sooner--agreement to state nothing
shall preclude payments starting earlier than the tenth
year.
MSUC (Malcolm/Campbell) approve the three amendments.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, as amended, the reading of the
text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved
unanimously.

RESOLUTION 12681 APPROVING A RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION AND RELATED DOCUMENTS AND
AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL TO HUD
Community Development Director Desrochers reported the City is
participating in the HUD Rental Rehabilitation Program which is
designed to increase the supply of standard housing rental units
affordable to lower-income families for Fiscal Year 1985-86. This
year HUD reduced the City's automatic allocation to ~28,000 (HUD
reduced the grants to many small cities for Fiscal Year 1986-87).
Chula Vista had the option of accepting the lower grant amount or
competing for a larger grant through the State allocation
process. The latter was opted for, thus, $60,000 is being
requested.
In answer to Councilwoman McCandliss' request for justification,
Director Desrochers explained the City must adhere to HUD criteria
Of ~5,000 per unit; rental rehabilitation funds supplement the
rental subsidy program (CHIP); $16,000 request will supplement
local funds.

was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
8. REPORT ANALYSES AND ARGUMENTS FOR THE CITY
PROPOSITIONS ON THE NOVEMBER 4, 1986
BALLOT (City Attorney)
Draft analyses and arguments have been prepared for the three City
propositions on the 1986 ballot for City Council review.
The City will have Propositions J, K and L on the November
ballot. Proposition J is primarily a housekeeping measure to
include "general welfare" along with public health and safety as a
basis for emergency ordinances.
Proposition K deals with the consolidation of our local elections
with statewide general elections. Justification is higher voter
participation and cost savings.
Proposition L is the advisory vote on whether the City should have
runoff elections.
MS (Moore/Malcolm) go along with the impartial analyses, but
delete "in favor" and "against" (wording for Proposition "L").
Council discussion ensued regarding obtaining public input for the
propositions; public should not be persuaded by the provision of
only one position on propositions; clarification suggested for
Prop. K (define "plurality" further--majority is more than
one-half of votes); advisory vote should be balanced--arguments
"for" and "against"; Propositions J and K were referred by the
Charter Review Committee and Proposition L was not.
MINUTES - 10 - August 19, 1986
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
!i MS (Cox/McCandliss) approve impartial analyses and arguments in
favor of the amendments on Propositions J and K.
Councilman Malcolm noted although he does not support Proposition
"K" (requesting his name not be included on the ballot in support
of the proposition), he would support the motion based on
Councilman I4oore's concern with obtaining a unanimous vote for the
arguments.
The motion approving analyses on Props. J and K passed unanimously.
MS (McCandliss/Malcolm) impartial analyses be amended to include a
definition of "majority" which would be 50% + 1 (vote) more than
half of the total votes cast, whatever wording deemed appropriate
by the City Attorney, as well as a definition of "plurality" (for
Proposition L).
Councilman Malcolm suggested instead of giving definitions, reword
the impartial analysis as follows: ". if there are more than
two candidates, the winner is that candidate who garners the most
votes even if it is less than 50%." And, "If a runoff system were
instituted and no candidates received a majority (50% + 1) of the
votes cast "
Councilwoman McCandliss concurred with this change and the motion
passed unanimously.
MSUC (Moore/Malcolm) Proposition L be just the impartial a'nalyses.

AND COMPENSATION AND APPROPRIATING
NECESSARY FUNDS (Director of Public Safety)
On June 5, 1986, Council received a report from Alta Consulting

12. RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH THE LEE C.
JOHNSON COMPANY FOR THE APPRAISAL OF A
,, BILLBOARD WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-~Y OF THE
SAN DIEGO & ARIZONA EASTERN RAILROAD
COMPANY LOCATED IN THE VICINITY OF "E"
STREET AND INTERSTATE 5 FOR THE SUM OF
$3,000 AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
(Community Development Director)
The City Council has expressed its desire to remove a billboard
located within the right-of-way of the San Diego & Arizona Eastern
railroad at "E" Street (west of the Mobil gas station). Towards
that end, the Council requested that staff obtain an appraisal of
the bill0oard in order to negotiate with both the railroad and
owner of the billboard.
Community Development Director Desrochers reported the estimated
cost of the appraisal report is $3,000. This projects falls
outside of the Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area. Although
redevelopment funds may be used outside of project area boundaries
for the construction of housing or public projects such as the
trolley station, they are not applicable for the subject appraisal
or acquisition of the billboard. It is therefore necessary to
appropriate funds from the General Fund for the appraisal as well
as future acquisition, if necessary.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text
- was waived by unanimous consent.
In response to Council's concern regarding the appraisal cost,
Director Desrochers explained the appraiser has included costs for
potential litigation if the billboard was acquired. In addition,
he noted the City utilizes the services of four independent
appraisers. The Lee C. Johnson Company was proposed for this
project due to their familiarity with the City and redevelopment
project area in general.
Mayor Cox pointed out if the subject billboard were located north
of "E" Street, the City could have required its removal; billboard
is currently be leased for advertising on both sides, which is in
violation of City standards; CalTrans is aware of City concerns.
Councilwoman McCandliss stated she could not support the
appropriation without proper justification.
The motion to adopt the resolution failed* by the following vote:
AYES: Malcolm, Moore, Cox
NOES: Campbell, McCandliss
ABSENT: None
*Four-fifths approval required for appropriations.
MINUTES - 12 August 19, 1986

opportunity to report back on contact with the billboard company
and for the City Attorney to report back on the illegal
western-facing panel.
13. RESOLUTION 12683 AMENDING FISCAL YEAR 1986-87 BUDGET TO PAY

HOSPITAL (City Manager)
At its August 12, 1986 meeting, the City Council was informed that
staff had begun deliberations with representatives from Scripps
Hospital regarding the value of the City's reversionary interest
in Bay Hospital. Further, Council was informed that staff might
request a supplemental budget appropriation to cover unanticipated
costs for legal, appraisal and/or other consulting services
required for these negotiations.
The recommendation was that Council amend the Fiscal Year 1986-87
budget in the amount of 98,000 to cover costs for legal, appraisal
and/or other consulting services requir-ed for negotiations with
Scripps Hospital.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILWOMAN McCANDLISS, the reading of the
text was waived by unanimous consent.
Councilman Malcolm expressed concern with the City's slow response
to this situation, as well as the amount requested for legal fees.
City Manager Goss explained the 98,000 requested will be utilized
for legal fees, including reversionary costs; funding in the City
Attorney's account are limited; reiterated Council's desire to
consider this item when a full Council is present.
The motion to adopt the resolution passed unanimously.

Compromise Connector along the State Route 252 Corridor.
It was recommended that Council endorse construction of State
Route 252 between 1-805 and I-5 according to the plans originally
proposed or according to the proposed Buena Vista Compromise
Connector.
MINUTES - 13 August 19, 1986
Warren Nielsen, 3885 Birch Street, San Diego 92113, expressed
concern with staff's recommendation and requested Council's
unanimous approval of his proposal.
Mayor Cox reiterated Council's support of SR-252; National City
desires mitigation of traffic demands within the City; suggested
proactive role be taken by Chula Vista; funds from sale of
property should be used to address traffic mitigation measures;
problems with proposed Buena Vista connector (i.e., does not meet
certain freeway standards).

ask California Transportation Commission to allow funds generated
from the sale of the right-of-way from former SR252 Corridor be
allocated (to National City) to mitigate traffic problems in the
City of National City.
15. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER
a. City Manager Goss discussed Proposition 62 (requiring voter
approval of all tax increases at the local level) would not
apply to the 82 Charter cities in the State, including Chula
Vista, because of the constitutionally independent authority
of Charter cities to impose general taxes. If Proposition 62
passes, there may be a legal challenge to this summation.
b. City Manager Goss discussed Council's referral regarding
guarantee of construction work after projects have been
accepted by the City: if deficiencies in a project are not
corrected, the City could take legal action; City could
require a bond; protection to City if contractor files for
bankruptcy; contract costs would be increased.
c. The City's Block Grant allocation has been increased from
$715,000 to $862,000 this year. Staff will provide
recommendations for allocation of this funding.
