PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED ORDINANCE
4. PUBLIC HEARING DETERMINING THE PUBLIC NECESSITY OF ACQUIRING CERTAIN
RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR THE EXTENSION OF EAST NAPLES STREET
TO PROVIDE ACCESS FOR CHULA VISTA WOODS SUBDIVISION
(City Engineer)
In a written report to Council, City Engineer Lippitt explained this item was
continued from the meeting of June 28, 1983, in order to prepare the
appropriate environmental documents. In an effort to gain more communication
between the two parties, the deadline date for comments on the environmental
documents was extended from July 8, 1983 to July 15, 1983; therefore, it will
be necessary to continue this hearing to July 26, 1983.
City Manager Goss stated United Enterprise has raised several concerns
regarding the (EIR) Environmental Impact Report. After reviewing this with
the City Attorney and the Planning Director they are in response to the
initial study that was prepared for this request and the judgment is that an
environmental study be prepared for the project; therefore, the recommendation
is to table this matter.
In answer to Councilwoman McCandliss' query, City Manager Goss explained this
item came before the Council first as a request for a condemnation procedure
and now it has gone beyond that to the public hearing scheduled today.
City Attorney Harron agreed stating the City could not anticipate the problems
at the onset. The applicant wished to get some action from the Council at
that time; however, it wasn't until the EIR was published that staff decided
they could not go ahead with it. Mr. Harron added a great deal was based on
the letter from the County Engineer disputing the City's ability to dictate
future alignment of East Naples Street. He discussed this with Mr. Davies,
attorney for the applicant who agrees with the recommended action to table.
MSUC(Malcolm/McCandliss) to table this item.
5. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTING AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
ORDINANCE (Director of Planning/Director of Community
Development)
a. ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 19.04.087, AMENDING SECTIONS
19.14.030A, 19.22.040, 19.24.040, AND 19.58.020 OF
TITLE 19 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS BY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
WITHIN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONES - FIRST READING
This being the time and place as advertised Mayor Cox opened the public
hearing.
Planning Director Gray stated Senate Bills 1160 and 1534 were enacted during
the 1981-82 State Legislative Session in order to encourage the creation of
City Council Meeting - 4 - July 19, 1983
accessory (second kitchen) dwelling units in single family zones and thus
expand the supply of affordable housing. Local governments must respond to
the mandatory provisions of the legislation within 120 days following the
receipt of their first application for an accessory unit on or after July 1,
1983. The Planning Commission recommended adoption of the proposed amendments
and further recommended said amendments be returned to the Planning Commission
and City Council for review and reconsideration in one year's time. The Human
Relations Commission endorsed the draft amendments. The Commission on Aging
endorsed the draft amendments and recommended consideration be given to:
individuals 55 years of age or older; widows/widowers under age 55; and those
with extraordinary financial circumstances. The proposal to record a deed
restriction as a vehicle to notify subsequent property owners of the occupancy
limitations on an accessory unit has been replaced by the requirement that the
Conditional Use Permit itself be recorded separately from the deed.
Mr. Gray discussed some of the questions raised by the Planning Commission:
(1) should the ordinance be adopted at all; (2) should there be a restriction
as to whether the units should be attached or detached; (3) the question of
the off-street parking; (4) should the units be restricted only to the elderly
and the handicapped; (5) should there be a recording of the use permit and;
(6) the question of enforcement.
Council discussion followed in which the City Attorney and staff answered
questions regarding: (1) a review of the ordinance within one year; (2)
findings the Council would have to make if they find the use is against the
health, safety and welfare of the community; (3) how a City can legally
enforce the age restriction; (4) the Supreme Court decision on age
restrictions and housing for seniors and adults; (5) how can the City get
around the CC&R's that are already in existence; (6) whose responsibility is
it to find out about CC&R's; (7) a proposal to attach the "P" modifying
district zoning to the units; (8) how can the City enforce the provision of
the owner being a resident of the premises; (9) method of enforcement; (10)
proposal for the grace period for one year before the permit is revoked; (11)
the question of resale of the premises; (12) putting a percentage on the units
such as 5% or after 25 units are constructed rather than the one year review;
(13) the Planning Commission did not go along with the sunset clause of the
ordinance - their accommodation was for staff to bring the ordinance back for
review in one year; (14) the restriction of age factor; (15) the possibility
of a foreclosure due to death of the home owner; (16) determination of
adequate off-street parking and enforcement; (17) lack of parking at the
Congregational Towers and Holiday Gardens; (18) if the age limit was not
restricted and young adults were permitted to live in the accessory units,
there would be a serious parking problem since these people have more vehicles
and more visitation of friends; (19) in the R-1 zones an accessory building is
permitted if the applicant has twice the amount of land area; (20) the
influence this would have on rental rates; (21) if after one year the
accessory units become vacant, could the City pull the Conditional Use Permit;
(Planning Director's opinion was it could not be pulled unless the owner was
in violation of the ordinance); (22) the shared housing aspect; (23) if the
home owner cannot find someone that fits the criteria for an accessory unit,
City Council Meeting - 5 - July 19, 1983
he/she might use this unit for storage purposes; (24) if the owner of the
premises dies and his heir(s) inherit the property would the heir(s) have to
live on the premises in order to comply with the ordinance - (City Attorney
maintained that the City would not take action in this particular situation
unless the property was deteriorating since the key to any enforcement is
equitable concerns.
Speaking in favor of the ordinance was Marcie McLeod; 751 7th Avenue,
San Diego, 92101, representing the Elder Cottage Coalition; Margaret
Helton,162 Mankato Street representing the Commission on Aging; Ann Fabrick,
501-2 Anita Street; Wilma Leaf, 695 Sea Vale, 5E; Christine Culver, 191 Corte
Maria representing the South County Council on Aging.
Their reasons were: (1) there is a housing shortage in the City for elderly
people; (2) Chula Vista's draft ordinance is being used as a model throughout
the County; (3) American Dream Enterprises is asking for support of providing
temporary units; therefore, they would like approval of the detached as well
as the attached units; (4) want to see the disabled and handicapped people
included; (5) the ordinance can be made more restrictive in one year; (6)
would like to see a 5% cap put on the number of units to be built in the City
the City of San Diego has an ordinance which is more restrictive; (7)
Council should call this an "automatic reconsideration" in one year instead of
the sunset clause; (8) have only one of the occupants be 60 years of age or
over - the second person can be younger but must be a blood relative or
spouse; (9) a mandatory requirement for one additional parking space would
eliminate a great deal of the units being built - San Diego provides for an
automatic waiver of the parking space if the owner can get written permission
from the neighbors; (10) number of illegal units already existing in the City
of Chula Vista; (ll) unless Council adopts an ordinance specifically for Chula
Vista the City will have to live with the State ordinance; (12) in favor of
anything that will provide relief for Senior Citizen's housing problems; (13)
request Council not downgrade the ordinance before giving it a chance - the
units will be very costly to build; and, there will not be an overabundance of
units built in the City; (14) Granny Flats should be for the Senior Citizens -
who prefer to maintain their own dignity and individuality by having their own
kitchen.
Speaking in opposition were Ann Hedenkamp, 515 2nd Avenue, Bob Norman, 908
Mission Avenue, and Irene Maxwell, 473 Berland Way. Their concerns were: (1)
this is another government interference with the private lives of citizens;
(2) there are a number of Senior Citizen units in the City such as
Congregational Towers, Chula Vista Inn and in the shared housing prospect; (3)
the illegality of units now existing - such as people converting their garages
and then renting them out; (4) desire to maintain the integrity of the R-1
zone throughout the City requires off-street parking which would limit the
number of units; (6) age cannot be restricted - law prohibits this
discrimination; (7) it is unfair for utility companies to waive fees for these
accessory units this would only allow the developers to get the low and
moderate income housing without having to construct them (8) neighbors will
not complain against neighbors because they fear retaliation; (9) concern the
ordinance does not have required off-street parking.
City Council Meeting - 6 - July 19, 1983
Mr. Dan Brennan representing the Human Relations Commission stated the
Commission supports the age restrictions; parking can be worked out if the age
restrictions were mandatory; CC&R's are something the City will have to live
.... with; favor of a 5% cap on the total units to be constructed; he can name at
least 10 properties today that have accessory units which are illegal in the
City and a number of homeowners who have two families living in the same
house; consider the social issue - the idea that families would take care of
their elderly; therefore, the accessory unit is a good concept for the City.
In answer to Councilwoman McCandliss' question, Mr. Brennan said he is not
sure if the Human Relations Commission would approve the ordinance if it was
found that the elderly age factor was unconstitutional.
There being no further comments either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Council discussion regarding the three cities and County which have adopted
the ordinance but did not address the age restriction; the older areas of the
City that could conceivably have these Granny Flats should be preserved and
protected; this would be rezoning those portions or areas to R-2; the City
will have over 1 million dollars per year to spend for housing for Senior
Citizens and in the future this amount may be increased; the Council has a
commitment to provide this need; consideration of protecting the R-1
neighborhoods; question of enforcing the age restrictions; the streets on the
west side of the City are substandard and these units cannot be built in those
areas; a proposal to continue this for one week to research the legality of
the enforcements both on age restrictions and CC&R's.
MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) to continue this item for one week and staff to research
the legal enforceability (of the age restrictions and CC~'s). The City
Attorney to obtain the opinions from other attorneys in the County as to why
they omitted these restrictions in their ordinances, and to get the steps on
the full range of what the City has to work with what steps did National
City and Vista take to say it was unacceptable to their communities.
6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
a. Cliff Roland, 1100 Industrial Blvd, Chula Vista quoted Civil Code 798
governing the question of charging fees for people staying over 30 days
in mobile homes. He said he helped write AB 1370 which permits a widow
or widower living in mobile homes to have another person living with
them. Since there are over 2,000 mobile homes in the City this creates a
lot Of housing.
b. Flora McKenna, 1347 Mt. View Lane, thanked the Council for their concerns
regarding the SANDER project. The STOP organization is still in doubt as
to the Miramar location and would like to have concrete assurance from
the Council that neither J Street nor the Otay land fill will be no
longer considered for a trash-to-energy burning plant.
City Council Meeting - 7 - July 19, 1983
c. Ludwig Jung and Pedro Polido, 845 Madison Avenue, complained of a
"sink-hole" at the corner of Sierra and Madison stating this area is
continually flooded. The children play in it all the time and there is a
question of mosquitoes and the health safety factor. Mr. Polito
complained of this open drain which he claims runs half way up to his
home and during the rains the whole street becomes flooded.
MSUC (Cox/Malcolm) to refer this to staff with a report back to Council. This
report to be given to Mr. Jung and Mr. Polito.
d. Pat Barajas, 675 J Street, questioned the status of the Flood Channel
running adjacent to his property at 590 Arizona Street. He declared he
loses much of the rear of this property during rainstorms.
MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) to refer this problem to the staff for a report back and
for a current update of the Telegraph Canyon Road Creek Project.
e. Mr. Thor Biberman, 697 J Street, stated for the past two years, every
time the Navy conducts exercises whereby they fire shells, he experiences
broken windows in his home and asked that the Council look into this.
Councilman Moore indicated it could not be Navy shelling but it could be
sonic booms. The Mayor requested Mr. Biberman to get the exact times and
dates of the noises and the window breaking and bring this back to
Council.
f. Bob Maxwell, 473 Berland Way, questioned the status of the off-ramp of
Bonita Road at 1-805. City Engineer Lippitt stated he is working with
Caltrans and the County on this. Some improvements have been made and
further efforts are being made to correct the problem. The opening up of
Edgemere Avenue has alleviated some of this freeway traffic. The Council
will be receiving this report within the next month. Mr. Maxwell then
questioned the barbed wire fencing around the jogging trail on part of
the Chula Vista Golf Course; and said he brought down his out-of-town
visitors to the Bayside Park last week. They were very much impressed
with the developments in that area.
g. Mr. Guy Litchy, 153 Point Sol Court, Chula Vista, expressed a number of
concerns regarding the soil samples which were to be done of Omar
Rendering Plant; the toxic wastes being dumped at the land fill;
questioned who is the authority that grants permits to facilities such as
SANDER; which commercial facilities are using the dump; what authority is
specifically responsible for ensuring the type of material dumped at the
land fill to be consistent with the permit; increased danger of seepage
of toxic material from those locations; request soil tests be taken for
toxic contents also around the Apache facility adjacent to the Otay
River. Council responded that tests are being conducted periodically and
as soon as the City receives the latest test, a copy will be mailed to
Mr. Litchy.
City Council Meeting - 8 - July 19, 1983
h. Mr. Larry McKenna; 1347 Mount View Lane, Chula Vista expressed a number
of concerns regarding the EIR filed on the BKK plant stating there should
never have been a negative declaration made on a transfer station. It is
now expanding to processing toxic waste and the treatment and storage of
toxic waste. Mr. McKenna expressed his concern as to what would happen
if the City experienced an earthquake and the issue of any toxic leaks.
Councilwoman McCandliss said she asked the City Manager to provide the
Council with all the information on the BKK plant. This report will be
coming to the Council and a report will be sent to Mr. Litchy.
Councilman Moore said he would like to see an ad hoc committee appointed
by the Mayor to review the pros and cons of the Omar Plant, the BKK Plant
and the dump site.
CONSENT CALENDAR (Item Nos. 7-11)
MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to approve the consent calendar.
7. RESOLUTION 11322 APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
AND MAINSTEM, INC. FOR AN EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SERVICE (Director of Public Works
Operations)
The City signed a contract with Mainstem on August 6, 1975, for an equipment
maintenance management system service. The contract must be extended each
year if the City is to continue receiving the service. The Mainstem
Management Information System supplies direct information about vehicles and
vehicle systems, and is used by the Shop Superintendent in making everyday
decisions that increase the productivity of the maintenance facility. The
fiscal data is used as the basis for predicting the garage budget. The
Mainstem contract for FY 1983-84 is identical to the FY 1982-83 contract with
the following exception: at the completion of the one-year contract, the
contract is automatically renewed for one year at a price increase not to
exceed CPI unless contract is cancelled by either party in writing 90 days
prior to date of expiration.
8. RESOLUTION 11323 APPROVING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY AND RALPH ANDERSEN AND ASSOCIATES FOR
RECRUITMENT OF PLANNING DIRECTOR (City Manager)
This report recommends the City retain Ralph Andersen and Associates to
provide certain professional services to assist in the recruiting for the
position of Planning Director. This position became vacant a little over a
year ago and there is a need to obtain a list of current candidates for the
position since the present list of candidates is out of date. The cost of the
professional services will be $3,000 plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket
expenses, which should not be more than another $400.
Councilman Malcolm suggested increasing the Planning Director's pay by $3,000
rather than spending it on the recruitment process.

City Council Meeting - 10 - July 19, 1983
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES, FIRST READING
12. RESOLUTION 11328 APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
AND NUFFER/SMITH ASSOCIATES AS A PUBLIC RELATIONS
CONSULTANT ASSOCIATE FOR A SIX MONTH PERIOD (Director
of Management Services)
On March 29, 1983, the City Council directed staff to prepare RFP's to obtain
professional public relations consultant advice for the City's Public
Information Coordinator. As part of the regular FY 1983-84 budget process,
the Council appropriated funding (at $800 per month) for this purpose in the
Public Information Budget Activity within the Management Services Department.
At a June 9, 1983, joint meeting with the Steering Committee of the Business
and Industry Development Commission (BIDC), the Redevelopment Agency
considered a separate request from the Steering Committee for authorization to
use BIDC and matching Agency funds for a public relations consultant contract
specifically oriented toward economic development promotion, and the Agency
authorized the use of up to $1,000 per month ($500 from the BIDC and $500
Agency match) for a six-month contract.
The Selection Committee ranked Nuffer/Smith Associates as the firm best suited
to meet the Redevelopment Agency and BIDC objectives, and the Director of
Management Services has negotiated the contract with them.
Councilwoman McCandliss expressed her concern that the joint meeting held with
the BIDC indicated that the scope should be to have some definable project
after 6 months a marketing strategy site selector. This particular
resolution does not answer that at all and she fears after 6 months the
Council will be right back to this position and these problems.
Director of Management Services Thompson explained the background of the joint
meeting stating that he perceived a different concept from that meeting. He
noted the reduction of $14,900 to $6,000 stating the emphasis was to continue
a lot of publicity work with the site selectors and due to the amount of funds
which were cut, the cost of production now has to be included. In terms of
timing, doing publicity work with site selectors is not the highest priority -
there is a need to establish an economic development implementation plan. Mr.
Thomson added the assignment of trying to change the attitudes of the business
community so that when serious proposals come in, they would receive a
positive attitude.
Councilman Moore commented there is nothing for the site selectors to come
into the City and see at this time. Until the City gets a sphere of influence
and land use study, there is no potential site to show any of these people.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
City Council Meeting - ll - July 19, 1983
13. RESOLUTION 11329 INITIATING REORGANIZATION PROCEEDINGS AND SETTING A
PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PROPOSED EASTLAKE I
REORGANIZATION (Director of Planning)
On December 9, 1982, Cadillac Fairview Homes West, proponent of the subject
proposal, submitted to the City a petition for a reorganization involving
annexation of 1,268 acres of uninhabited territory to the City of Chula Vista
and concurrent detachment of said territory from the San Diego County Flood
Control District - Zones 3 and 4.
The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) at its public hearing on
July ll, 1982, approved the proposed "Eastlake I Reorganization" and
designated the City of Chula Vista as the conducting authority to complete
proceedings. Pursuant to the Government Code, the City Council is required to
conduct a public hearing on the proposal in compliance with LAFCO's
resolution. The public hearing is to be held on August 16, 1983.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text was waived
by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
14. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER
a. City Manager Goss requested a Closed Session for negotiation purposes.
MSUC (Cox/Malcolm) to schedule a continuation of this Council meeting to
follow the Redevelopment Agency meeting on Thursday, July 21, for purposes of
going into Closed Session for negotiations.
b. City Manager Goss asked for clarification of informing the Human Services
Agencies throughout the City of the sunset clause in the Block Grant
funding. The Council stated this should include all community promotion
agencies such as Jaycees, the Library Concerts, etc.
REPORT OF CITY OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS
15. REPORT FOURTH OF JULY PARKING AT ROHR PARK (Director of Parks and
Recreation)
During the budget session, the parking problem at Rohr Park was discussed.
Council requested a report be brought back pertaining to the parking situation
at Rohr Park during the Fourth of July holiday.
The Director of Park and Recreation submitted the report stating although use
of Rohr Park does not seem to have diminished, the enforcement of the parking
prohibition on Sweetwater Road has alleviated a major traffic problem. The
presence of reserve police officers ensures continued control within the
parking area. A side benefit of the assignment of reserve police officers
when the park is heavily saturated with visitors is the visual presence of an
authoritative figure, which hopefully has the effect of reducing acts that are
not considered normal. Under the present circumstances, the implementation of
parking meters in Rohr Park is considered unnecessary at this time.
MSUC (Moore/Malcolm) to accept the report.

17. MAYOR'S REPORT
a. Mayor Cox noted there will not be a quorum present for the meeting of
August 9.
MSUC(Cox/McCandliss) to cancel the meeting of August 9 and to reschedule the
Council meeting to the fifth Tuesday in August (August 30).
b. Mayor Cox reported President Reagan has signed the bill granting 2
million dollars for the Sweetwater Flood Control Project.
MSUC for staff to write a letter of appreciation over the Mayor's signature
to Senators Wilson, Cranston, Congressmen Bates, Lowery, Hunter, Packard and
to the Corps of Engineers.
c. Mayor Cox discussed the various communities in the County which had some
kind of celebration on the 4th of July. He noted that in past years the
Elks Club had a parade on Third Avenue. Mayor Cox said he contacted the
Unified Port District and they will support a celebration along the
Bayfront area if it does not cost them any money.
MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) to direct staff to contact the Unified Port District and
the property owners along the Bayfront areas and report back to the Council on
whether there may be some joint July 4th celebration for 1984 which would
involve the City, the Port District and the property sector and other
businesses located in the City.
f. Mayor Cox announced there will be a ground breaking ceremony on Thursday,
July 21 for the F Street Senior Citizen housing project.
g. Mayor Cox discussed the accumulation of barges and derelicts being
deposited in the Bayfront area especially off Gunpowder Point. He stated
this was not only unsightly but a hazard to navigation as well.
MSUC (Cox/Malcolm) to direct staff to see what Chula Vista could do to protect
the bayfront properties and to regulate them to preclude live-a-boards having
unregulated use of the Bayfront area off Chula Vista's coastline. A copy of
this letter is to go to the City of National City.
City Council Meeting - 13 - July 19, 1983
18. COUNCIL COMMENTS
a. Councilman Malcolm referred to the Star News editorial regarding the use
of computers at the library in National City. He felt Chula Vista should
have this same service.
MSUC (Malcolm/Moore) to refer the use of computer services to the Library
Board for study with a recommendation back to the Council. Councilman
Malcolm said he hoped the staff would not charge the citizens for the use of
the computers adding perhaps the people using the VCR's could be charged $2
for that use to defray this cost.
b. Councilman Malcolm said he read the report on the Gruen and Gruen Plan
for the Bayfront Plan. The Gruen's are using an 8% return of investment
because it would make the A-1 plan financially viable. Councilman
Malcolm took issue with this stating it is not a real market value and it
should be 12%. City Manager Goss indicated his concerns with this
concept also. Director of Community Development Desrochers said he
talked to Dr. Gruen about the 8% plan and will have a report for the
Council perhaps in two weeks. He may have status report to give to the
Council for this Thursday's meeting.
c. Councilman Moore commented that since SANDER will not be located in this
area, he wished to have his name withdrawn from the Board of Directors.
MSUC (Malcolm/McCandliss) to ask that Councilman Moore's name be removed from
the SANDER Authority Board of Directors. Councilman Moore asked for a copy of
this letter to be sent to the SANDER Authority explaining he replaced
Councilman Scott on the Board two months ago.
d. Councilman Moore expressed his concerns regarding the problem of
enforcing the ordinances via complaints of citizens and neighbors
declaring neighbors should not have to complain against neighbors. This
should be the duty of staff charged with enforcement.
MS (Moore/Malcolm) for the City Manager to inform City staff members who
enforce the law to do so when they note violations rather than wait for
citizen or neighbor complaints.
Mr. Goss remarked the motion was not needed it was getting into the
direction of administrative policy rather than a general City policy. Further,
it is making certain assumptions on administrative policy that he cannot
accept and would like time to look into the matter. Councilman Moore withdrew
his motion; Councilman Malcolm withdrew his second.
e. Councilwoman McCandliss said she and Councilman Malcolm met with
representatives of the San Diego Gas and Electric Company. They will be
installing four mufflers to combat the noise levels in the City. This
will cost $250,000, with a completion date by the end of the year. SDG&E
will be spending approximately $650,000 making improvements to their
power plant to reduce the noise level and air pollutants.
