RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, CHULA VISTA CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE OTAY LAND CO~ANY FOR ACQUISITION OF EAST H STREEI RIGHT OF WAY CHULA VISTA CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY (CITY ATIORNEY) The resolution approves a land swap agreeable to the City School District, Otay Land Company (Getsten) and the City to provide a school site in exchange for the site which was bisected by the proposed development of East H Street in E1 Rancho del Rey. Mayor Cox noted that the agreement had been approved by the School District this evening. Responding to Councilman Scott, City Engineer Lippitt stated that this agreement provides that Getsten will exchange land with the School District for an alternate site and the City will not have to condemn the property and pay funds for the East "H" Street right-of-way across the exi sting School property. Mr. Lippitt explained the School Di strict's primary concern to build a school in the La Canada area, and if they are not in a position to build a school, they want to be able to develop the area to an equal amount of units that would be possible on the parcel on East H Street. Councilman Scott questioned the legality of zoning property without a public hearing and also questioned what the City's eventual liability would be. He noted that if the land were not used as a school site, the Council would in effect be assuring a density based on the existing density of the East H Street site. City Council Meeting _ 7 May 18, 1982 City Attorney Li ridberg responded that he prepared the agreement i n accordance with the desires of all of the parties involved, and that the P-C zone allows shifting of the density within a Sectional Planning Unit as long as the overall densities as mandated by the adopted Specific Plan or General Development Plan are not exceeded. The agreement contemplates such a shift and further states clearly that the City has retained its Planning and Zoning authority so that modifications (reductions) could be made within the planning area; however, the City would have to compensate the School District to make up for the differences in the units that would be allowed under the present lO acre site and what might be later determined by the Council. He added that Council would not be limiting its power of zoning, but would be committed to a (monetary) consideration which is a reasonable method of property acquisition. There would no liability if the density was not decreased, and there would be no way to predetermine the City's liability if density were decreased by a future Council. After continued questioning and discussion regarding the City's potential liability, Councilmembers McCandliss and Scott noted that they would not be opposed to the agreement, but recommended continuance to Saturday's meeting to have an opportunity to review the terms in detail and to determine (on a worst case basis) at current prices what the City's possible liability could be. MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to continue this item to the Budget Session on Saturday, May 22, 1982. 12. ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5.20 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE REGULATING THE NUMBER OF CARDROOM LICENSES ( DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY) Director of Public Safety Winters, in his report to Council, explained that Ordinance No. 1738, adopted in lg77, provided for the licensing of one cardroom for every 25,000 residents or any fraction thereof. That change in the ordinance made it possible to have four cardroom licenses in the City as opposed to the limit of two that had existed since 1962. He noted that since the increase to four licenses, there has not been any increase in the number of card players; however, there has been an increase i n compl ai nts as new ca rdrooms ha ve engaged i n i I Iegal practices. The recommended changes to the ordinance would permit only three licenses to operate, and require a $10,000 performance bond when a license is either acquired through the transfer procedure, or won in a 1 otte ry. Director Winters noted that if Montgomery annexes, based upon population the City would have five cardroom licenses, and that two current licensees are opposed to the $10,000 performance bond with valid reasons. He stated that at the time it was proposed he did not fully -, understand the implications of a performance bond and that the intent is to eliminate the lottery. A system for fining anyone whose license is revoked could replace the performance bond. · 1T City Council Meeting - 8 - May 18, 1982 Comments and discussion related to an RFP procedure rather than 1 ottery in which a licensee could attempt ~o circumvent the ordinance and have someone else operate the cardroom. The City would not want to get into the position of doing more than exercising police regulation in operation of card rooms (an activity to be regulated or prohibited entirely) rather than operation of cardrooms as a municipal affair. a. ORDINANCE NO. 1986 AN URGENCY ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON THE CONDUCT OF A LOTTERY FOR THE ISSUANCE OF A CARDRODM LICENSE AND DECLARXNG THAT NO LICENSES SHALL BE ISSUED FOR A PERIOD OF NINETY DAYS mm City Attorney recommended an interim ordinance by minute action to defer action on the lottery until such time as the cardroom ordinance has been properly modified.

Douglas Hansen, representing Southern Pacific Land Company, lessors of the mobilehome park at lO0 Woodlawn, requested that the Council delay action on adoption of the ordinance for one week to provide Southern Pacific with the opportunity to study the ordinance and discuss it with staff. In continued testimony Mr. Hansen referred to the notice by Southern Pacific that they did not intend to renew the mobilehome park lease in 1983 and indicated that this ordinance could be construed to have been "instituted" to prohibit or in some way influence them to change their plans.
