5. PUBLIC HEARING PCA-83-1 CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE DEFINITION OF
"FAMILY" (Director of Planning)
a. ORDINANCE 2034 AMENDING CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION
19.04.032 ESTABLISHING THE NUMBER OF ROOMS FOR A
BOARDING HOUSE, SECTION 19.04.092 RELATING TO THE
DEFINITION OF FAMILY SECTION 19.04.112,
ESTABLISHING THE NUMBER OF ROOMS FOR A HOTEL AND
SECTION 19.28.040, ADDING BOARDING OR LODGING
HOUSE TO THE CONDITIONAL USES FOR THE R-3 ZONE -
FIRST READING
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearing.
Principal Planner Lee explained the circumstances leading up to this
particular amendment consideration. He stated that in the City of Chula Vista
versus Pagard and the City of Santa Barbara versus Adamson, the Court ruled
that jurisdictions can no longer limit the number of unrelated persons living
together as a bona fide family unit. The Court stated that, "As long as a
group bears the generic character of a family unit as a relatively permanent
household it should be equally entitled to occupy a single family dwelling as
its biologically related neighbors." As a result, the Municipal Code must be
amended in keeping with the Court's decision.
On April 27, 1983, the Planning Commission by a vote of 4 to 2 recommended
that the City Council delete the definition of "family" from the Municipal
Code because the definition used by the Court is neither definitive nor
clear. Further, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the number
of rooms and definitions of "boarding houses" and "hotels."
The staff concurs with the recommendations of the Planning Commission except
that instead of deleting the definition of a "family" they are recommending
Section 19.04.092 to be amended to read as follows:
"Family" means an individual; or two or more persons, related by blood,
marriage or adoption, or a group including unrelated individuals bearing
the generic character of and living together as a relatively permanent
bona fide housekeeping unit sharing such needs as cooking facilities.
City Council Meeting - 6 - May 17, 1983
Mr. Lee further explained the definition of a boarding house or lodgint house
escentl
which means a dwelling or part thereof, not inc uding rest homes, conva
homes, bed care supervision and other special care such as counseling; where
meals or lodging are provided "but not separate cooking facilities" for
compensation and with not more than five guest rooms and ten persons total.
Under a definition of a hotel, Mr. Lee recommended the following definition:
"A hotel means a building or group of buildings comprising six or more
individual sleeping or living units without kitchens except as provided herein
for the accommodation of transient guests."
Council discussion followed regarding the language and definition of a family;
the court decisions regarding the definitions; flexibility in the wording of
the definitions; to fit the essence and character of the R-1 neighborhood;
legal ramifications in trying to enforce the ordinance; the fact that the City
cannot regulate a family unit as defined and the question of having an
ordinance on the books that cannot be enforced; the "generic" aspect of the
definition.
There being no comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared
closed.
Councilman Scott stated he was comfortable with the definition of a "family"
that now exists on the books and indicated it was unfortunate that the court
didnot uphold that case.
Assistant City Attorney Harron reiterated the decisions of the U. S. Supreme
Court and the State Supreme Court in the case of the City against Pagard. He
said the court came up with a definition but indicated it might not be
enforceable.
Councilwoman McCandliss remarked that the key point was the limitation of the
number of persons. She could not support the definition as recommended by
staff and felt the Council could come up with one that would be enforceable.
MSC (Scott/Malcolm) to place the ordinance on first reading, the reading of
the text was waived by unanimous consent (approval of staff's recommendation
for the definition of a family; approval of Planning Commission's
recommendation for hotel and boarding houses).
SUBSTITUTE MOTION: MS (Moore/McCandliss) to defer this item for one week.
Councilman Scott spoke against the motion stating that to hold it over for one
week would serve no purpose, the ordinance should stay as recommended and if
there are any changes, at any time in the future, the staff could bring this
back to the Council.
Councilman Malcolm commented he talked to Planning Commissioner Cannon who was
the attorney for the Pagard case and Mr. Cannon felt there shouldn't be any
definition of a "family" as the City cannot enforce this.
City Council Meeting - 7 - May 17, 1983
The motion to defer for one week failed by the following vote.
AYES: Moore, McCandliss
Noes: Malcolm, Scott, Cox
Absent: None
The ordinance as placed on first reading passed by the following vote to wit:
AYES: Scott, Cox, Malcolm, Moore
Noes: McCandliss
Absent: None
MSUC (Scott/Moore) for staff to bring forward to the City Council any new
language or new information from other cities or areas, political entities,
subdivisions or State agencies as soon as they become aware of them as Council
would like to change (the ordinance) if there is anything better.

THE AMOUNT OF $2,000 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF FENCING

THE GREEN (Assistant City Manager)
On May 10, 1983, the City Council considered a report on the Jimmy's on the
Green remodeling project and among other things, considered Change Order No. 4
allowing extra work items and additional funds required to meet the financial
obligations of the City in completing this project. The previous agenda item,
if approved, implements the general intent of the City Council's action taken
on May lO, 1983. In considering the overall report, the Council directed as a
part of the settlement of the various issues involved, an amendment to the
lease agreement between the City and the Lessee to be prepared which would
provide for the transfer of landscaping maintenance responsibilities from the
City to Lessee. The proposed resolution in response to that direction has

at 5 o'clock instead of 7 o'clock.
b. City Manager Goss submitted a written report explaining the noise
readings at San Diego Gas and Electric plant conducted on May 4. He said
it was his opinion that the test was not conclusive, since it ran for
only 54 seconds and the City equipment could only pick up the reading in
the lower two bands. Mr. Goss added at least two minutes were needed to
pick up the readings of all nine bands and there will be a two minute
test conducted using Navy equipment on Monday, May 23 which will record
those same sound levels, so when staff converts to the dB readings, they
can be double checked against the readings taken by the City equipment.
15. This item was discussed previously. (see page 3)

16. REPORT 1983 SUMMER EDUCATION/RECREATION PROGRAM (Director of
Parks and Recreation)
Director of Parks and Recreation Pfister reported that in the past four
summers, the children in Chula Vista have been provided a balanced
education/recreation program through a joint project of the City of Chula
Vista and Chula Vista Elementary School District. Initiated by the Focus
Committee, this program fills the void created by the loss of the regular
summer school program after Proposition 13. The joint education/recreation
program developed by the City and the School District again will require: l) a
registration fee of $35 per participant; 2) the School District to provide
facilities and recommend certified instructors; 3) the City to contract for
instructors, aides, collect fees and pay salary to staff to conduct a
playground program.
MS (Malcolm/Cox) to approve the report.
City Manager Goss explained the City's insurance is being utilized to support
these activities. If the program is expanded, the insurance aspect should be
examined to see if separate insurance should be purchased for the program.
Council discussion followed regarding the overall cost of the program; the
amount of insurance needed; the City's self insured program for which it would
be liable for the first $100,000; possibility of a 1 million dollar lawsuit;
an additional $600 premium to cover the summer recreation program; the
additional cost of $2 per student for the insurance; Focus Committee's
recommendation on the cost of producing "Oliver" and including the insurance
in this fee; the possibility of adding an addendum to the brochure requiring
the additional $2 per student for insurance.

paid to the instructors which could be lowered from $20 per hour to $12 which
could cover the insurance fee.

to a possible conflict of interest since the Council is now discussing
purchasing insurance.
