4. PUBLIC HEARING PCA-83-4, CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER
19.60 PROHIBITING FREEWAY ORIENTED PRICE SIGNS - CITY
INITIATED (Director of Planning)
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearing.
City Council Meeting - 2 - April 19, 1983
Director of Planning Gray explained that on February 1, 1983, the City Council
adopted an interim ordinance valid for 90 days relating to the prohibition of
freeway oriented price signs in the "P" zones. The ordinance will expire on
May 2, 1983 unless extended by the City Council. A zoning text amendment to
Chapter 19.60 of the Municipal Code has been prepared replacing the interim
ordinance relating to freeway oriented price signs.
Director Gray stated that on March 23, the planning Commission voted not to
adopt the permanent ordinance. This recommendation is contrary to that of the
staff which is recommending adoption. In answer to Councilwoman McCandliss'
auestion, City Attorney Lindberg stated that billboards are not covered by
this ordinance - they are under the protection of State laws.
A general Council discussion ensued with staff answering Questions to numbers
vs. lettering on freeway orient ed signs. Director Gray explained a further
condition of approval: the existing signs shall be removed not later than
three years from the adoption of this provision. Councilman Malcolm
auestioned a loss of possible gas tax revenue to the City by not allowing the
price signs. City Engineer Lippitt explained gas tax funds are based on
population of the City and any loss of revenue would be associated with the
sales tax.
Mr. Don O'Neal, 91 Bonita Road, Cbula Vista, representing Ramada Inn, Love's
Restaurant and Texaco station said he conducted a poll on this question. One
thousand ballots were issued. The result of the public opinion poll was 97%
in favor and 3% opposed to freeway price signs. Mr. O'Neal urged the Council
to permit the price signs which would help the general public and support the
gas station dealers. He added that they presently sell 250,000 gallons of gas
per month at the Texaco service station on 8onita Road. When the price sign
went up, the volume of trade increased 30% and the City gets 2~ per gallon on
every gallon that is sold.
Irene Maxwell, 473 Berland Way, Chula Vista, voiced her opposition to the
freeway sign stating that the sign in most cases is a "come-on" and when you
actually enter the service station you find the type of gas you are looking
for as being higher priced.
There being no further comments, either for or against, the hearing was
declared closed.
Councilman Moore said he recognized the advantage of having price signs on the
freeway to the traveling motorist. However, he felt it was inappropriate to
have these signs in Chula Vista.
MS (McCandliss/Moore) that the ordinance be brought back for the amendment to
Chapter 19.60 prohibiting freeway orientated price signs as recommended in the
staff report.
Council discussion followed regarding the three year limitation. Councilman
Moore stated be would favor a one-year limitation. Director Gray explained
City Council Meeting - 3 - April 19, 1983
that the three-year staff recommendation was not a scientifically-derived
figure; it was based on the fact that the Texaco station has invested a great
deal of money in the price sign and staff felt a three-year abatement would he
fair. The Planning Commission suggested a five-year limitation. Mayor Cox
agreed with the five-year limitation commenting that be felt this was
equitable.
A motion was made by Mayor Cox to amend the motion on the floor to allow a
five year phase-out of the price sign. The motion died for lack of a second.
The motion to bring back a resolution to approve of the amendment carried the
following vote:
Ayes: McCandliss, Scott, Moore
Noes: Cox, Malcolm
Absent: None

CV TRACT 83-2, 1665-1667 BRANDYWINE AVENUE ROBERT
AND PATRICIA CASEY (Director of Planning)
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearing.
Principal Planner Lee explained that the applicant has submitted a tentative
map in order to subdivide approximately 1.66 acres located at the southeast
corner of Brandywine Avenue and SeQuoia Street into two lots and construct a
14-unit condominium project on the southerly lot (Lot 2, 0.8 acres). On March
23, 1983, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval in

6. OPu~L COMMUNICATIONS
a. Bob Maxwell, 473 Berland Way, Cbula Vista, referred to a Star News
article in which the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, Niek
Slijk, said that Chula Vista should try to get some of the land in the
Otay Mesa area. Mr. Maxwell asked that the Council consider this.
City Council Meeting - 4 - April 19, 1983
b. J. R. Norman, Chula Vista, said he attended a San Diego Energy Advisory
Committee meeting this week at which the SANDER project was discussed.
The actual site for the SANDER project will be decided May 13. Mr.
Norman also discussed the alignment of "H" Street stating it was like a
"snake trail" and it would not alleviate any traffic on East "L" Street.

15. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING JUST COMPENSATION FOR THE ACQUSITION OF
RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE EAST NAPLES EXTENSION FOR CHULA
VISTA WOODS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO OFFER THE
COMPENSATION TO THE OWNER (City Attorney)
Chula Vista Woods is proposing to develop a mobile home park on their property
and to provide access by installing the proposed extension of East Naples
Street. State law now requires that before a City Council can consider a
resolution of necessity, it must first establish the amount of compensation
that will constitute a good faith offer and make such an offer to the property
owner. Gardner Investment Properties, the owner of Chula Vista Woods, has had
an appraisal report prepared and requests that the City Council establish the
amount set forth in the appraisal report as just compensation and offer this
amount to United Enterprises for the proposed right of way. Attempts made by
Gardner Investments Properties to make the offer to United Enterprises
directly have failed.
Councilman Scott stated he is abstaining from discussion and voting of this
matter due to a possible conflict of interest. Councilman Scott left the dais
as this time.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text was waived hy
unanimous consent.
Mayor Cox noted the letters received from Tom Davies, attorney for Gardner
Investment Properties and from Michael Spata, attorney for United Enterprises,
Inc.
City Attorney Lindberg explained the appraisal which he stated was done by a
qualified appraiser declaring this as the normal process of establishing just
compensation.
Councilman Malcolm commented on the request of United Enterprises to abstain
from discussion of this matter because "he has served as an intermediary for
Gardner Investment Properties prior to his election to the City Council ." Mr.
Malcolm said he checked this out with the City Attorney and was advised he has
no possible conflict of interest. Mr. Malcolm explained there was a
communication problem between Gardner investment firm and United Enterprises
and he (Malcolm) wrote a letter on behalf of Mr. Gardner to validate the
process. He received no compensation for doing this.
Attorney for Gardner Investment Properties, Mr. Tom Davies stated that they
have realigned the proposed access at great expense to the company in order to
proceed with their proposed Mobilehome Park. Mr. Davies discussed the lack of
response from United Enterprises. The appraiser, Thomas Roberts, made
numerous attempts to meet with United Enterprises, the owner of the property,
and was notified that a representative of United Enterprises would contact him
and arrange a meeting; however, this did not take place. A letter was then
sent to United Enterprises on March 30 following a number of telephone calls.
No response has been received to date.
City Council Meeting - 8 - April 19, 1983
Michael Spata representing United Enterprises, stated that the action being
taken by the Council this evening was premature; that the letter of Mr.
Roberts written on March 30 was answered by United Enterprises on April 15;
the property owner was not accorded the right to inspect the property, as is
the law; there is no project on file with the City for this Mobilehome Park
development so how can an alignment be established; there is no guarantee that
the project will he approved at this juncture; no good-faith value can be
established by the appraisal; it will take at least one year for approval or
disapproval of the project after which time a complaint may be issued which
can take another year; approval of the resolution would be premature because
the alignment could very well be changed. City Attorney Lindberg responded
if the alignment were changed at a later date, staff and Council would have to
start from "ground zero" which is one of the defects of the law confronting
the Council at this time.
Council discussion followed with the attorneys representing both companies
regarding the lack of communication and delays in the project. Attorney Spata
stated the letter written by United Enterprises on April 15 suggested a
meeting date on April 27. Mr. Jack Gardner, the developer, objected to the
delay, indicating nothing would he accomplished and it was merely putting off
the negotiations for two more weeks. In answer to the Council's auery, Mr.
Gardner said he did not send the letter by registered mail; however, attempts
were made daily to contact United Enterprises. City Attorney Lindberg
recommended the continuance of two weeks so the parties could meet on this
April 27 date.
MSC (McCandliss/Moore) to continue this matter for two weeks.
Councilman Moore felt that something should be put into the resolution
regarding the delays, such as, "with time, delays and potential modification
of the alignment would affect United Enterprises land; this is only the
initial step of the appraisal." City Attorney Lindberg said he would look
into incorporating this into the resolution. Councilman Malcolm asked Mr.
Gardner to bring to the Council the copy of the "return receipt" reauested
from mailing the letter.
16. RESOLUTION ll210 AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN TO REDESIGNATE A CERTAIN
PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED WITHIN THE NORTHWESTERLY

approved the redesignation of a certain parcel of land located within the
northwesterly ~uadrant of "E" Street and Bay Boulevard from "Parks and Open
Space" to "Visitor Commercial" and directed that a resolution be prepared to

unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.

17. RESOLUTION 11211 GRANTING AN EXTENSION OF TIME AND EXTENDING THE BONUS
PERIOD FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WATER, SEWER AND STORM
DRAIN FACILITIES TOWN CENTRE FOCUS AREA (City
Engineer)
Barron-Masanovich, the Contractor, had reauested an extension of 13 working
days to their contract due to rains and inclement conditions which prevented
them from performing work on the project. The Engineering Department has
reviewed their request and determined that it is justified. Community
Development requested consideration of extending the bonus expiration date to
Barron-Masanovitch because of the delays experienced by the Contractor over
which he had no control.
Barron-Masanovich will only receive a bonus payment if they complete all wor~
within Lot 7, the parking structure site, before April 21, 1983.
Council discussion involved wording of future contracts which would allow for
a number of rainy days and the bonus factor.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCIL~AN SCOTT, the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
18. RESOLUTION 11212 APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL SUMMER

the School Safety Patrol Summer Camp at Camp Palomar for FY 1983-84 and
directed that a resolution be brought back to appropriate the necessary monies
for the 1983-84 program and to encumber said funds for expenditure in July of

unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
19. ORDINANCE 2033 AMENDING SECTION 10.52.100 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO THE REMOVAL OF VEHICLES PARKED FOR MORE
THAN 72 HOURS (City Attorney) SECOND READING & ADOPTION
The Municipal Code presently makes it unlawful to park a vehicle for more than
72 consecutive hours, hut does not clearly authorize the removal of the
vehicle. This amendment would clarify the authority to remove vehicles in
violation of this section of the City Code in conformance with the Vehicle
Code. The Ordinance was placed on first reading at the meeting of April 12,
1983.
City Council Meeting - 10 - April 19, 1983
MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to place the ordinance on second reading and
adoption. The reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and
approved unanimously.
20. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER
a. City Manager Goss referred to the memo from the Director of Public Safety
regarding the overnight use of the "J" Street Marina by the Pasadena Boat
Club. The Port Authority is allowing three RV's to stay overnight at the
"J" Street Marina in order to guard the eauipment owned by the boat club;
and the RV Park is providing the rest of the RV's with a special nightly
fee of $15.
b. City Manager Goss reported the California Conservation Group is now on
the Bayfront cleaning up the area. In answer to the Mayor's Question,
Assistant City Manager Asmus stated the CCC can clean up further debris
on the Bayfront area if they were remunerated for such - it would not be
gratis because they are faced with a lack of funds.
c. City Manager Goss announced the allocation of $359,000 under the
Emergency Jobs bill to the City of Chula Vista. This would be given
under the Community Block Grant portion of the legislation.
REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS
21. REPORT REGARDING SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES (Director of
Planning)
On January 4, 1983, the City Council directed staff to look into whether all
establishments which sell alcoholic beverages should be regulated and
controlled through the Conditional Use Permit process. Planning staff
analysis revealed that in the absence of any documentation of problems due to
the number of establishments which sell alcoholic beverages in the City, there
appears to be no reason to establish more control on these uses. Their
recommendation is that no action be taken.
MSUC (Scott/Moore) to accept the report.
22. REPORT RATIONALE FOR THE CITY'S FEE POLICY FOR MAJOR PLANNING
STUDIES (Director of Planning)
The City Council, during its consideration of the proposed Sammis General Plan
Amendment, expressed concern over the City's policy with respect to fees
charged for the formulation or amendment of major municipal plans. The
Council Questioned the rationale behind the Planning Department's undertaking
of studies which involve the replanning of vast areas of land at no charge to
the private sector while at the same time, it processes individual requests
for General Plan Amendments and levies fees which are designed to produce a
full-cost recovery.
City Council Meeting - ll - April 19, 1983
Director of Planning Gray stated the City's current fee policy for major
planning studies was prudent and equitable. Under this policy, the General
Fund underwrites the cost of projects which have been initiated hy public
bodies or agencies in response to discernible public needs; and the private
sector defrays the costs of those studies which have been initiated in
response to private needs, even though the said studies might incidentally
benefit the public-at-large.
MSUC (Moore/Malcolm) to accept the report.
23. MAYOR'S REPORT
a. Mayor Cox reported the Coastal Commission will be meeting at Shelter
Island Marina Inn on April 26. They will discuss the widening of I-5,
the Flood Control Project, Route 54 and the City's Bayfront Plan. The
recommendation to the Coastal Commission will he to find that the
Bayfront Plan is inconsistent; however, there will be nine different
stipulations given to the Coastal Commission which if approved, would
allow The Commission to find that there is some consistency in the Plan.
b. Mayor Cox reported on the actions taken by the Board of Supervisors today
concerning the Hazardous Waste ordinance. They agreed with Chula
Vista's statement of no need to receive concurrence with all of the
cities in the County; they amended the ordinance to exempt certain items
such as waste oil; as to the reduction of fees from $75, they made no
change but asked for a report to come back in six months.
c. Mayor Cox announced the joint meeting with the Council and the three
School Districts on Monday, May 2, 1983 at 4 p.m.
MSUC (Cox/Moore) to place on the agenda the following two items: (1) an
update on a study made in February 1982 regarding sharing of major equipment,
microfilming, joint purchasing and printing; (2) to look into the possibility
of having the School Districts take advantage of the public access
TV Channel.
d. In response to the City Manager's memo regarding Capital Improvement
projects Mayor Cox suggested the alleyway behind Third Avenue be looked
into.
MSUC (Cox/Moore) for staff to come back with a report with the cost to do the
alley behind Third Avenue and whether there would be any cost sharing by the
property owner.
e. Mayor Cox discussed the Park area at the "J" Street Marina stating the
Council should now address this issue.
MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) in conjunction with the Capital Improvement Program,
staff to consider what it would cost to make that area a truly Park area in
concert with standards established in Chula Vista.
City Council Meeting - 12 - April 19, 1983
f. Mayor Cox noted the time crunch which will be realized regarding future
annexations in the City based on the fact that LAFCO must now do a sphere
of influence study for all of the cities in the County. Mayor Cox added
annexations such as Eastlake and the San Diego substation will be
proposed for annexation but it would take at least 12 years for LAFCO to
do a Sphere of Influence study. He suggested that the City may consider
funding $30,000 to $40,000 to have the study done.
MS (Cox/Malcolm) to ask staff to look into the practicality of doing a Sphere
of Influence study and consider that item at budget time; as to whether or not
it would be an appropriate item to fund this next fiscal year.
Councilman Scott auestioned the legality of the City doing a Sphere of
Influence study as it should be done by LAFCO. City Manager Goss felt that a
more appropriate motion would be to direct the staff to come back with a
report outlining the schedule of time reauired for the variety of elements in
this project. The staff needs to get together with the LAFCO staff and report
on scheduling. Mayor Cox amended his motion to "pursue the course of action
as outlined hy the City Manager." Councilman Malcolm agreed as to the Second
and the motion carried unanimously.
24. COUNCIL COMMENTS
a. Councilman Malcolm reported the Legislative Committee met and discussed
AB 1599 which would allow the State Department to determine each city's
share of regional housing needs. If this is not done, they will take
away gas-tax funds from the City.
MSUC (Malcolm/Moore) to oppose AB 1599 and send a letter to the local
Assembl3nnen as well as the Chairman, Mr. Chacon.
ADJOURNMENT AT 9:30 p.m. to the meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 26, 1983
