9. RESOLUTION 11390 APPROPRIATING $46,800 TO INSTALL NEW FLOORING IN THE
AUDITORIUM AND IMPROVE THE OUTSIDE DRAINAGE AT PARK
WAY COMMUNITY CENTER (Director of Parks and
Recreation)
The Park Way Community Center's auditorium vinyl floor covering is in
hazardous condition and a special appropriation of $46,800 is required to
replace existing floor covering. An inspection by the manufacturer's floor
representative revealed excessive moisture contained in the concrete slab was
breaking down the components of the adhesive and causing the vinyl floor
product to break away from the concrete.
City Council Meeting - 4 - September 27, 1983
The City Attorney has sent a demand letter requesting repair of vinyl flooring
to John B. Reed Construction Inc., General Contractor. Depending upon the
number of arties and the position they take, this case could take some time
to be reso~ed. It is the City Attorney's opinion the City will not prejudice
the case by having the floor repaired/replaced before legal resolution.
$46,800 from Residential Construction Tax Fund unappropriated balance needs to
be appropriated and transferred to Account 600-60000-RC26 - Park Way Community
Center Gym Floor Repairs. This account will be reimbursed with any monies
obtained through the legal proceedings.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text was waived
by unanimous consent.
Councilman Moore indicated this particular problem could have been avoided and
asked what "check and balances" are being made now to prevent this from
happening in the future. City Attorney Harron explained the preventive
measures which were required to prevent moisture from getting through under
the slab. An inspection was to be made by the contractor to insure that
everything was correct before the floor was laid. Since he did not inform the
workers that there were any problems, the floor was laid and then the moisture
was discovered.
The resolution, as offered, carried unanimously.
lO. RESOLUTION 11391 AUTHORIZING THE INITIATION OF A GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT AND REZONING OF A CERTAIN VACANT 3.5 ACRE
CITY-OWNED PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE
CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE (Director of
Planning)
As a result of Council direction, staff has initiated and substantially
completed an evaluation of the subject site. Based on their study, the
Department believes that it would be appropriate to present its findings and
recommendations to the City Council in the form of a proposed General Plan
Amendment and rezoning at the next General Plan hearing scheduled for October
1983.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
Councilwoman McCandliss stated she tends not to support a hotel/motel complex
at this time since she feels it is not compatible to the area. She is putting
the proponent on notice so when this matter comes before the Council, she will
have to be convinced before she will support it.
lla. RESOLUTION 11392 ESTABLISHING AN UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT ALONG
"L" STREET FROM COLORADO AVENUE TO BROADWAY (City
Engineer)
b. RESOLUTION 11393 APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
AND COX CABLE SAN DIEGO, INC. FOR PAYMENT FOR
REPLACEMENT OF OVERHEAD WITH UNDERGROUND FACILITIES
(City Engineer)
City Council Meeting - 5 - September 27, 1983
c. RESOLUTION 11394 APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
AND PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY FOR
PAYMENT OF REPLACEMENT OF OVERHEAD WITH UNDERGROUND
FACILITIES (City Engineer)
On February 15, 1983, the City Council held a public hearing concerning the
formation of an underground utility district along "L" Street from Colorado
Avenue to Broadway. The resolution establishing the Underground Utility
District is submitted along with agreements between the City and Cox Cable San
Diego, Inc. and Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company for payment for
replacement of overhead with underground facilities. Also submitted is the
resolution authorizing the disbursement of $103,000 from the Dan Building
Company to "SDG&E," Pacific Telephone Company and Cox Cable T.V.
RESOLUTIONS OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT, the reading of the texts were waived
by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
12. RESOLUTION 11395 APPROVING ENCROACHMENT PERMIT NO. PE 022 AT 361
WAGONWHEEL WAY {City Engineer)
Mr. & Mrs. Jesus Blanco of 361 Wagonwheel Way are proposing to install a
swimming pool in their rear/side yard. As an integral part of the pool, they
intend to build a cantilevered, wooden deck along one edge of the pool. This
deck extends out over the City's Open Space Lot No. 244 of Rancho Robinhood
III. The maximum encroachment is 5-1/2 feet with a length of about 40 feet.
This represents a total area of approximately 176 square feet. Due to the
fact that this encroachment is minor in nature, the City Engineer is
recommending approval with the following three conditions.
{1) The temporary irrigation line shall be relocated outside the encroachment
area; {2) any damaged landscaping within the open space shall be restored to
original condition by the owner; {3} any grading taking place within the open
space shall be shown on the building plans for the deck.
Councilman Malcolm questioned whether there was any liability to the City in
approving this encroachment permit and what was the time element. City
Attorney Harron stated the City could possibly be liable unless an indemnity
provision was placed into the agreement. As to the time element, there is
none.
City Engineer Lippitt explained a standard form of an encroachment permit is
signed whereby it allows a 30-day notice from the City if they want to have
the structure removed. There is also a hold-harmless provision. City
Attorney Harron indicated the applicant should be given more than 30 days to
remove the structure since it involves a great deal of money. He added the
Council would have to have good reason to "call it in".
Council discussion followed regarding a reason to have the structure removed;
an alternative to sell the land in fee simple and get it on the tax rolls
rather than give the applicant the land free of any cost whatsoever; the cost
of surveying the land and the appraisal which staff feels would possibly cost
more than what the land is presently worth.
City Council Meeting - 6 - September 27, 1983
Miss Cristina Blanco, Cz. Menida #238, Col. Hipo, Tijuana, said that she
designed the swimming pool. She explained because of the configuration of the
rear lot, the swimming pool was difficult to design without having it extend
over the open space area. She remarked the land below the deck would be open
space and can be used by the people. City Engineer Lippitt declared the City
could go through a vacation procedure relinquising the land to the original
owner.
MSUC (Malcolm/Cox) to amend the resolution to include an indemnity agreement
between the City of Chula Vista and the property owner.
THE RESOLUTION, AS AMENDED, WAS OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of
the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
13a. ORDINANCE 2050 AMENDING SECTIONS 6.20.020, 6.20.030 A AND B, AND
6.20.060 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING
TO DOG LICENSES - FIRST READING (Director of Finance)
MSUC {Moore/Cox) to place the ordinance on first reading. The reading of the
text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
b. RESOLUTION 11396 AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE RELATING TO DOG
LICENSES SECTION 6.20.040 (Director of Finance)
The Finance Department currently processes nearly 4,200 dog license renewal
applications during the month of January each year. By issuing licenses that
are good for either one or two years from the month of issuance, they can
begin to spread the workload throughout the year and in the process eliminate
the need to prorate dog license fees.
THE RESOLUTION WAS OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
CONTINUED MATTERS AND SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES
14. ORDINANCE 2049 REPEALING PARAGRAPH B OF SECTION 5.32.020 AND

- SECOND READING AND ADOPTION {Director of Finance}

reading at the meeting of September 20, 1983.

a. MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) for a Closed Session at the end of the meeting
_,~ for matters of litigation, meet and confer and personnel.
REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS
16. REPORT STATUS OF AMERICAN LEGION LEASE OF CITY PROPERTY
(Continued from meeting of September 13)(Director of
Parks and Recreation)
The Director of Parks and Recreation at the September 13 meeting recommended
Council not renew the lease on the American Legion Hall when it expires June
30, 1985~" During discussion of the matter, a representative of American
Legion Post 434 requested the Council to approve another ten-year extension,
stating the Post once owned the building and the 4.175 acres of land and
passed title to the City in order to avoid payment of property taxes. Council
requested further information on the history of the parcel of land and the
building. The staff has researched the files and submitted a chronological
list of the actions regarding the property beginning December 13, 1922. The
files indicate the City owned the land. Therefore, the staff is recommending:
a. continuation of the current lease as contracted through June
30, 1985, provided all Building Code violations have been
corrected;
b. authorize City staff assistance for Legion efforts to locate
suitable facilities;
c. require a six-month report from staff on relocation efforts.
Robert McCauley, 1987 Bucknell Street, Chula Vista, representing American
Legion Post 434 stated he had nothing further to say than the comments made at
the previous meeting. In answer to the Council's query, he stated he was in
concurrence with the staff's recommendations. Mr. McCauley added he believed
the land was owned by the American Legion, however, reading the staff report
and obtaining no verification from the Post, he believes the City, in fact,
owns the land.
Miss Francine Love, 606 Mariposa Circle, Chula Vista, stated she is speaking
on behalf of the American Legion commending them for what they do for the
young people. She was selected to go to Sacramento where she attended an
American Youth Seminar where she learned that the "community comes first and
not the person". She said she would like to go back to Sacramento this year
and further her experiences in meeting with young people all over the State.
She urged the Council to reconsider staff's recommendation and extend the
lease for the American Legion.
City Council Meeting - 8 - September 27, 1983
In answer to Councilman Malcolm's question, Mr. McCauley declared he does not
agree with staff's recommendation to terminate the lease. In reading ~
staff report, it was his understanding there was no mention of that but the
American Legion had six months to come back to the Council with a more
detailed report.
Council discussion followed regarding the 1975 hearing with the American
Legion whereby they were given ten years to find a new location; the comment
that Parks and Recreation wants the land for parking purposes; the issue of
the earthquake fault; although the building is not directly over the fault,
the earthquake would affect everything in the general area; the
recommendations made by staff to assist the Legion in locating another site;
the American Legion's request to renew the lease "forever"; and the fact the
American Legion people received the staff report but did not understand the
implications involved.
MSUC {McCandliss/Scott) to continue this matter for thirty days. City Manager
Goss stated that the staff will meet with representatives of the American
Legion so that they fully understand the violations and the recommendations
for the expiration of the lease.
Councilman Malcolm suggested a Council Conference be held on this matter once
a report is received.
17. REPORT CONSIDERATION OF DRAFT ORDINANCE TO ALLOW ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS BY CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS WITHIN
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES (Director of
Planning/Director of Community Development)
On July 26, 1983, the City Council, by a vote of 3-2, adopted a motion to file
a proposed ordinance to conditionally allow accessory dwelling units within
single family zones. The ordinance had been drafted in response to Senate
Bill 1534, which requires municipalities to either adopt a local ordinance
providing for or prohibiting accessory units, or to process applications for
such units based upon State standards.
On September 6, 1983, an application for an accessory unit was accepted for
processing by the City under the provisions of SB 1534. The Bill provides the
City now has 120 days {or until January 4, 1984) within which to adopt a local
ordinance before the application must be approved/disapproved based solely on
the State prescribed standards. The recommendation of the Director of
Planning is to direct the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing on the
draft accessory unit ordinance or some modification thereof.
Director of Planning Gray added based on the last discussion of the Council, a
suggested requirement was added for an off-street parking space to the
ordinance and also an amendment to the original proposal deleting the option
of a detached accessory dwelling unit. Another point is the possible review
of the accessory unit not to send it to the Design Review Committee but to
have the staff review it.
· 1T
City Council Meeting - 9 - September 27, 1983
MS (Malcolm/Scott) to direct this matter back to the Planning Commission for a
public hearing.
Discussion of the motion ensued regarding the existing ordinance which allows
a second unit on the premises if the lot is large enough which would comply
with State's provision; tandem parking which can be permitted; and the 120-day
notice which "starts the clock running"; a motion to this effect would give
the Council and staff more time to really investigate the ordinance and its
implications.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION: MSUC(Scott/Malcolm) to declare that the City's present
provision which allows by a Conditional Use Permit a second family unit on a
double-lot to be built does comply with SB 1534.
Director of Planning Gray in response to Council's questions stated the motion
would satisfy the requirement of SB 1534 and any applications that come in
before the final decision is made by Council would be held pending that policy
decision. The Mayor noted there are people who wish to speak on this matter,
however; since a public hearing would be held he stated no testimony be taken
at this time.
The original motion to refer the matter back to the Planning Commission for a
public hearing carried unanimously.
18. REPORT GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND
PHILOSOPHY FOR GREENS FEE ADJUSTMENT (Director of
Parks and Recreation)
At the June 8, 1983 budget session and September 13 meeting, Council requested
further information on the golf course. The Director of Parks and Recreation
has submitted this report recommending Council direct that a resolution be
prepared to properly implement Option 2 greens fee schedule which will provide:
(1) Bond and operation payment.
(2) Limited capital improvement and equipment purchase.
{3) Initial repayment of existing loan to various City funds.
{4} Additional part-time maintenance personnel.
(5) Monies for flood work or repairs by non-golf personnel.
(6) Reduced or flat fee for:
a. Resident adult, senior and junior
b. Members of twilight league.
{7) Increased cash and monthly ticket rates.
Seven year capital improvement and equipment plan be established.
Approving Option 2 of the greens fees adjustment is expected to meet FY
1983-84 operation, bond, limited capital and equipment improvements, initial
repayment to various City funds, part-time personnel, and some flood repair.
City Council Meeting - lO - September 27, 1983
Director of Parks and Recreation Pfister submitted slides to the Council
noting the staff's recommendations and the proposed fee schedule.
Mr. Bob Strahl, 87 Chula Vista Way, Chula Vista, President of the Chula Vista
Men's Golf Association stated the Director of Parks and Recreation met with
the Board of Directors and they agreed with the recommendations. However, the
Board does wish to point out to the Council the need to improve the course.
The players are disappointed with the maintenance of the golf course and feel
the number one priority should be to fix the flood channel.
Mayor Cox asked if the Director met with the Women's Golf Association. Mr.
Pfister stated he did not.
Cliff Roland, llO0 Industrial Boulevard, Chula Vista, spoke against the
proposal for the increased rates. He noted there is not much play on the
course from Monday through Friday and raising the fees would not help to get
more players on the course. Mr. Roland thought the fee structure proposed was
too high and it should be raised (to) $40 for adults, $30 for Seniors, and $50
on the Grandfather Clause, plus a $1 surcharge for each player coming on the
course. Mr. Roland also com lained about the condition of the greens and the
drainage channel which he fe~ should be corrected immediately.
Mrs. Vera Klinovsky, 4 Broadway, Space R1, Chula Vista said her husband, a
Senior Citizen, plays on the course once every other month since that is all
they can afford. She asked that the Senior Citizen rate structure not be
increased to allow more of these people to play the course.
Mr. Pat Barajas, 375 "J" Street, Chula Vista also asked the greens to be
maintained to standard and more patrolling be done on the course since there
are always a number of picnickers on the course. Mr. Barajas added he would
be willing to pay more if the City provides a better course on which to play.
MSUC {Cox/McCandliss) to continue this item for two weeks and give the staff
specific direction to make contact with the Board of Directors of the Women's
Association if that meets with their schedule. If not, the Council will not
take any action on this matter before getting this input.
Councilman Moore stated he would like to see immediate action taken to improve
the Golf Course. Councilman Malcolm favored the additional staff. Councilman
Scott felt it was the lack of the right attitude of the management in not
getting the course improved.
MSUC {Malcolm/Moore) to direct staff to correct the drainage situation and the
blockage on the west side of the bridge {of the Golf Course) and to bring back
a resolution authorizing staff to hire additional personnel as requested in
their report.
City Council Meeting - ll - September 27, 1983
19. REPORT GENCOM CORPORATION ANTENNA ADJACENT TO ROBINHOOD
POINT DEVELOPMENT (Director of Planning)
At the City Council meeting of August 30, 1983, Mr. Dave Jordan, 1550 Point
Dune Court, inquired as to the status of a proposed installation of a 60 foot
high antenna adjacent to the Robinhood Point residential development. Staff
reports that in July 1983, GENCOM Corporation informed the Robinhood Point
Homeowners Association in writing of its intention to construct a lO'x30'
building and a 60 foot high monopole antenna on Otay Water Company land
(located in the County) next to the water tanks adjacent to the Robinhood
Point residential development. Assurances were made to the Association that
the installation would be made unobtrusive through the use of landscaping.
The County Planning Department normally contacts the City Planning Department
when an application is received which affects the Chula Vista Planning area.
Upon receipt of a notice, staff will review and provide additional information
to the Council.
MSUC (Moore/Malcolm) to accept the report. (Councilwoman McCandliss was
absent from the dais at this time).
20. REPORT BAY GENERAL HOSPITAL REQUEST FOR SPONSORSHIP OF
REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES (Community Development
Director)
At its August 30, 1983 meeting, the City Council approved the second reading
of Ordinance No. 2044 which provided for City sponsorship of Revenue
Anticipation Notes for certain institutions. When the Ordinance becomes
effective, Bay General Hospital will be eligible to sell Revenue Anticipation
Notes that are tax exempt to the holder. This will enable Bay General to
obtain working capital for their general operation at a much lower interest
rate than they are now experiencing. The Internal Revenue Service provides
for tax exempt public sponsorship of such bonds under their regulation
501(c)(3). The City Council asked Bay General to devise a program
illustrating public benefit of City sponsorship; in addition, City staff was
directed to provide assurances that certain criteria would be established for
this request and for other such applications.
The Director of Community Development recommeded the City Council:
a. Approve Bay General Hospital's proposal for public benefit,
including the Employers Health Cost Coalition comments;
b. ~prove additional criteria to the Policy for City Sponsorship of
IDBs;
c. Inform Bay General Hospital that it will accept their application
for Revenue Anticipation Notes upon the effective date of Ordinance
No. 2044.
MSUC (Malcolm/Cox) to accept the staff recommendations. (Councilwoman
McCandliss was absent from the dais at this time).
City Council Meeting 12 - September 27, 1983
21. REPORT CITY OF CHULA VISTA BICYCLE ROUTE FACILITIES (City
Engineer/Director of Planning)
In 1980, the City was the recipient of a $20,000 grant in Local Transportation
Fund {LTF} monies to conduct a bycycle route facility study. This study was
prepared by a contract employee and has been reviewed by Engineering and
Planning staff. The report analyzes the existing City bicycle route
facilities and makes recommendations for their improvement based on a citizen
survey, field observations, and a bikeway suitability rating system.
The recommendation is that Council:
{1) Adopt the report as intermediate guidelines for the
implementation of the Bicycle Routes Element of the Chula Vista
General Plan;
{2} Direct the City Planning Department to include the Report's
diagram of proposed bicycle routes in the Bicycle Routes
Element of the General Plan as a "suggested proposal," and as a
replacement for the Element's existing map.
{3} Direct the City Planning Director and the City Engineer to
consult with the Planning Commission and the Safety Commission
prior to implementation of future bicycle route facility
improvements.
Councilman Malcolm requested a continuance of two weeks so that he could more
thoroughly study the report.
MSUC {Scott/Malcolm) for a Council Conference to be scheduled on this item
next month. {Councilwoman McCandliss was not present at the dais at this
time).
Councilman Moore requested the Public Information Coordinator to get out a
news release concerning some of the safety factors mentioned in the report.
22. REVIEW SIGNIFICANT AND EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS
(Director of Planning)
In late 1982, the City Council determined to review certain conditional use
permits and requested the Planning Department to prepare a report on the
conditional use permit process involving requests which have a cit~nvide impact
or involve hazardous waste materials. The recommendation is for Council to
direct the Planning Department to prepare an amendment to the Municipal Code
providing for Council approval of any listed unclassified uses except
campgrounds and churches. Such uses would first be considered by the Planning
Commission and, if approved, be advertised for public hearing before the City
Council.
MSUC (Scott/Moore) to accept the staff recommendations. (Councilwoman
McCandliss was not present at the dais at this time).
City Council Meeting - 13 - September 27, 1983

process of reviewing the whole matter such as calendars, newsletters,
newspaper articles, and other alternatives and will be making a report to

general public does not get the opportunity to find out immediately {items
dedicated only to City issues).
e. Councilwoman McCandliss said that she got a call from a gentleman living
in the College Estates area complaining about the tree in the front of
his home. He was not aware the tree in the right-of-way was to be
maintained by the property owner. He was waiting for City crew to come
down and trim the tree, however; it has now grown to such proportions it
has become a safety hazard. Assistant City Manager Asmus explained the
requirements of the tree maintenance policy which requires the property
owner to maintain the tree or substitute a tree. He added there were
attempts to notify the public in a general way of this particular
ordinance.

plans submitted by Bay General for reduction of costs. In the "general
health screening category", Bay General could reduce costs for hearing,
health visits, visions, etc. at their clinic. She discussed the matter
with Bay General and contrary to popular opinion, physicians are willing
to volunteer their services and time for this effort. Director of
Community Development Desrochers explained that with the acceptance of
this report, Bay General will come back in two weeks with their documents
and he will have a resolution to implement that plan. At that time, it
