Mr. Robens noted that the vacated areas were not constructed for parking, and since i t is City property, the City could be liable for any accidents or damage which occur. In addition, parking has been available in the public lots adjacent to the vacant areas.

PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF HOUSING ASSISTANCE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FOR CONVERSION OF MOBILE HOME PARKS TO OTHER USES (CITY ATTORNEY) This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing, The written report of the City Attorney noted that on January 12, 1982, the City Council directed staff to draft changes to the Municipal Code which would require relocation assistance to displacees of a MHP-zoned mobilehome park by a park owner applying for a rezoning of the park to another use. The City Council further directed that the residents of the mobilehome parks in the City not currently zoned MHP also be protected by these Code changes. The necessary amendments to Title 9 of the Municipal Code were drafted and on March 5, 1982, the Ad Hoc Committee considered and endorsed the specific changes in the Code providing such relocation assistance. City Attorney Lindberg added that the ordinance will provide a tool for ameliorating the impact of displacement in cases where a park owner seeks rezoning from the I~P zone or discontinuance of mobilehome park use in any zone, and that it was essentially a duplication of the ordinance in force in the County of San Diego. Director of Community Development Desrochers and Housing Coordinator Gustarson commented on the need for an ordinance which would reduce the financial impact of relocation on low and moderate income persons in the event of a change of use of a mobilehome park and Mr. Desrochers summarized the State statutes concerning eligibility standards. Responding to Council query, Mr. Gustarson noted that the ordinance is not intended to prevent conversion of parks to other uses, but to mitigate the impact of conversion on persons of low and moderate income. He also noted that the ordinance provides for a greater amount of assistance than the County ordinance and that if a coach is determined to be unmoveabl e the park owner will be required to purchase the coach at the appraised value. City Council Meeting - 4 - May 11, 1982 Council comment and questions concerned the 1 essor of property having -', ultimate responsibility for a park on leased land; would the owner or tenant derive assistance in case of rental of a mobilehome; is income the only standard of eligibility; are there any cities in the State that do not utilize the income criteria; and the absence of a provision for a park owner to make known intent to change use and the lack of any prohibition in the ordinance for a contractual arrangement under the terms of a lease between the park owner and occupant whereby all rights would be waived. Speaking in support of the ordinance were: Howard Loper, 4 Broadway, Chula Vista; Harold Duncan, llOO Industrial Boulevard, Chula Vista; Cliff Roland, llO0 Industrial Boulevard; Vera Klinofsky, 4 Breadway, Chula Vista; Virginia Buckles, lO0 Woodlawn Avenue, Chula Vista; John Kolsters, 501-155 Anita Street, Chula Vista; Annie Adams, 288 Broadway, Chula Vista; Quent Zolky, on behalf of his grandmother, a resident of 1 O0 Woodlawn. Mr. Zolky added a request for Council to "give a little" more ground through additional zoning for mobilehome parks. Speaking in opposition to the ordinance were Gerald Fick, 352 Broadway (Rose Arbor Mobile Home Park), Chula Vista, who also submitted a letter detailing his opposition; and Roy Muroaka, 1478 First Avenue, Chula Vista. A1 though Mr. Muroaka spoke in favor of the ordinance in principle, he stated that it would force older parks to redevelop because they could not afford to close and requested that Council consider "easing" the Codes and other incentives as inducements to redevelop older parks. There being no further comment, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. a. ORDINANCE NO. 1982 AMENDING THE HOUSING ASSISTANCE ORDINANCE FOR CONVERSION OF MOBILE HOME PARKS TO OTHER USES - FIRST READING Council comment referred to staff efforts to identify land suitable for mobilehome park zoning and the suggestion concerning incentives to redevelopment of mobilehome parks. The City Attorney explained that substitute language for Section B.4 of the ordinance has been drafted to make the document more flexible regarding submission of evidence to the Community Development Director that agreements meeting the requirements of the ordinance have been offered to eligiNe owners or occupants, and advised that Council would be voting on the amended ordinance. MSUC (Cox/Scott} to place the ordinance as amended on first reading. The reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. City Council Meeting - 5 - May ll, 1982 MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) to direct staff to look into the redevelopment of mobilehome parks and the implication that it has in light of the ordinance.

PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE OF ZONE FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 ACRES AT 45 NORTH FOURTH AVENUE FROM C-C TO I-L - TITLE INSURANCE AND TRUST COleANY (ACTING DIRECTOR OF PLANNING) This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing. Associate Planner Lee explained that this item involves a request to fezone approximately six acres located between North Fourth and North G1 over Avenues from C-C (Central Commercial) to I-L (Limited Industrial). On April 27, 1982 the Council appreved a General Plan Amendment changing the land use designation of the subject property from "Retail Commercial" to "Research and Limited Industrial" and adopted a conditioned Negative Declaration issued on IS-82-22 for the amendment. On April 28, lg82, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for Big Bear Markets to establish a distribution and warehouse facility on the site, contingent upon the property being zoned industrially, and subsequently, at the request of the City Council, the City Clerk appealed the Planning Commission decision on the conditional use permit which is scheduled for the meeting of May 18. Councilwoman McCandliss questioned whether staff had considered placing the "P" modifier on the zone because of the proximity to the mobilehome park. Mr. Lee said that in this case the conditional use permit process would protect the interests of the mobilehome park. Planner Lee responded to Council questions concerning concurrent processing of general plan amendments with zone changes and whether the I-L would lend itself to more flooding potential than the C-C. He noted that the applicant proposes to raise the building area and site itself to take O. out of the flood plain category. Councilman Gillow asked if that would create a flooding problem in the mobilehome park. City Engineer Lippitt answered that this property is out of the floodway area and is in the flood plain area -- filling in the floodway area generally has an insignificant impact on the surrounding properties and that the Sweetwater Flood Control Channel would alleviate most flooding Concerns. Speaking on behalf of the applicant, Mr. Larry Mabee, Vice President of Big Bear Markets, offered to respond to Council questions, and stated that they would he available next week for the conditional use permit hearing. City Council Meeting - 6 - May ll, 1982 John Kolsters, 50l Anita Street, expressed concern over the potential for flooding at that particular mobilehome park and stated that as a result of the last flood, the coaches have been fitted with concrete anchors in compliance with State law. Mayor Cox referred to the Sweetwater Flood Control Channel and stated that the Environmental Impact Statement is expected to be on the Federal Register by the end of July 1982 and that initial funding may be forthcoming for that project.

MS (McCandliss/Scott) to amend the ordinance to designate the zoning as I -L-P. In discussion it was pointed out that the conditional use permit appeal would provide Council the opportunity to review the potential impact of the site plan on the mobilehome park. Councilman Scott noted that the motion was superfluous and withdrew his second. The motion died for lack of a second. 7. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE OF PREZONING FOR 12.3 ACRES AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF INDUSTRIAL AND OXFORD STREET FROM C-C-P TO I-L This being the time and place advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing.

The written report of Director of Planning Gray explained that there are approximately 273 acres of industrially zoned property along the north side of Otay Valley Road east of 1-805 and another 5 acres on the south side in the City of Chula Vista. The remaining area on the south side of Otay Valley Road is zoned agriculturally, either by the City or by the County of San Diego. Of the 273 acres, approximately 230 are zoned I-P (General Industrial with the Precise Plan Modifying District); 24 acres are zoned I-L (Limited Industrial); and 19 acres are zoned I-L-P (Limited Industrial with the Precise Plan Modifying District}. The 5 acres on the south side are zoned I-L. The proposal is to attach the Precise Plan Modifying Di strict to the remaining 24 acres on the north side and 5 acres on the south side of Otay Valley Road, and to establish precise plan guidelines on those properties as well as the properties which are now subject to the Precise Plan Modifying District, but are without precise plan guidelines. On April 14, 1982 the P1 anning Commission recommended that the Council adopt an ordinance attaching the "P" Modifying District to the properties on the north and south sides of Otay Valley road east of 1-805 and adopt precise plan guidelines in accordance with Resolution PCZ-82-G. P1 anner Lee recommended establishment of a 20 foot set back for structures up to 20 feet in height; a 30 foot set back for buildings exceeding the 20 foot height limit; a 20 foot setback for properties along Brandywine. He stated that the standard setbacks in the I-L and I zones are 20 and 25 feet, respectively, and that the recommended -i guidelines are similar to the standard with the additional requirement of increased setbacks as building height increases. City Council Meeting - 8 - May 11, 1982 Planner Lee commented on the major provisions of the Precise Plan Guidelines, namely building setback requirements, and limitation on signage to the monument type, and compared those requirements to the standard ordinance provisions; noted that the Guidelines will not be attached to the 98 acre Otay Industrial Park because the subdivision has its own development standards which were approved along with the subdivision. In public testimony, Vince Davies, 4501 Otay Valley Road, urged that Council put this off until after the Montgomery annexation election takes place because this action will impact the neighboring properties; and Dick Kau, 3404 Bonita Road, referrod to the Nuffer Smith study and the ~ffort to attract industry, emphasizing the difficulties and delays encountered with the City's review processes. a.

This item was continued twice to enable the Planning Department to study and report on the advisability of applying either the County General Plan or the Chula Vista General Plan.

Report on renewal of Chula Vista Sanitary Service Franchise City Manager Cole explained in his agenda statement that the Chula Vista Sanitary Service (CVSS) franchise for providing trash service throughout the City expires on June 30, 1982. In November of 1981, the City Attorney's office provided an opinion to the effect that there was no City Council Meeting - ll - May 1!, 1982 legal impediment to a renegotiation of the existing franchise agreement and that there was no requirement to open the entire process to bid. Noting that for the past eighteen years, CVSS has unquestionably carried out trash service to the community in an exemplary manner and that the service is provided at competitive rates as compared to other cities in the County (as indicated on the summary of rates and information furnished by CVSS), City Manager Cole asked that he be authorized to undertake negotiations with CVSS for extension of their franchi se. James Walsh, 2165 San Diego Avenue, ~lO1, San Diego, representing Tom Hudson & Associates, Inc., asked that the contract be opened for competitive bidding in order to provide quality service at a lesser cost to the citizens of Chula Vista and to avoid a potential lawsuit under the Sherman Anti-trust Act. He pointed out that CVSS is owned by SCA Services (a national company) and could possibly submit a bid at lower rates than their current service. In summarizing his commentary, he noted that CVSS has had the contract and has not been required to bid for i t for 30 years. He concluded with a request for a two week continuance. City Attorney Lindberg reaffirmed his opinion regarding the impact of anti-trust lawsuits and stated that he feels confident that Council has the option to renegotiate without competitive bidding. In further response to Council queries, Mr. Lindberg noted the possibility that the contract could include indemnification to the City against any lawsuit. Councilman Scott questioned the time frame of the procedure to renegotiate if that approval were given; City Manager Cole stated that based upon the complexity of the contract he would come back with a request for month-to-month extension and would expect to complete the contract at the end of July or eaMy August. At that time Council would be provided with a complete explanation of the proposed renegotiated franchise and reason(s) for reaching that position, as well as the possibility of not reaching that position. Tom Hudson, representing Tom Hudson & Associates, emphasized the "fairness" of competitive bidding; stressed the fact that the same service is currently being provided (by CVSS) to Coronado at lower rates. He stated that he would provide "as good or better" service and offered to give $250,000 and full bonding for a year's option. George Bagdasarian, 7002 Mission Gorge Road, San Diego, representing San Diego Refuse Co., asked that the commercial service be opened for competitive bidding (as tested in the County of San Diego); suggested dividing Chula Vista up into two or three contracts in the event one contractor does not perform, and stated that residential service should be controlled. _ City Council Meeting 12 Play ll, 1982 MSUC (Gillow/Moore) that the City Manager be directed to undertake negotiations with the Chula Vista Sanitary Service for the extension of the franchise. In discussion, Mayor Cox asked that when the recommendation comes back that it include rates of comparable cities (e.g. Chula Vista does not have a mandatory service); it would be helpful to determine i f the cities noted in the agenda statement are comparable cities that do not require mandatory service and also if the other cities alluded to are non-mandatory. * MSUC (Scott/Cox) that the City Attorney and City Manager (in renegotiating the contract) look into protection for the City with regard to any possible lawsuit. With reference to a street sweeping contract, Council commented on the report requested last August and asked that it be available at budget time. b. City Manager stated that the FY 1982-83 budgets have been placed in the Council offices. A budget has been prepared in the event Montgomery annexes. REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS 17.

Director of Parks and Recreation Pfister recommended that Council approve the request subject to staff conditions, including the contingency that the sponsor pay the cost for the ten special officers. MSUC (Scott/Cox) to approve the request subject to staff conditions. MSUC (Scott/Cox) on this particular (new) course that a brief report or oral report be brought back to City Council whether or not it would be in the City's interest to have a policy, and if so what policy. David Smith, representing the sponsors of the run, stated that the organization intends to put on a series of races in conjunction with a number of charities (including Boys and Girls Clubs of Chula Vista). He noted the possibility of an "economic relationship" in promoting the Bayfront. * "As per minutes of 2-17-83, Councilman Scott's vote should have been an absention." T City Council Meeting 13 - M~y ll, 1982 18. Status report Development Regulations and Processing (Development Services Administrator) The City Council recently requested staff presentations concerning (1) development regulations (whether the City has too many, can they be simplified, are they necessary); and (2) development processes to provide Council with a better understanding of the procedure(s) when developers submit their plans. Because the two areas are so intertel ated and complex, staff is proposing that a three to four hour Council Conference be scheduled to discuss both issues either four to six weeks after final consideration of the budget, if Montgomery does not annex, or two to three months after adoption of the budget if annexation is successful. MSUC (Scott/Gillow) to accept the report. lg. MAYOR'S REPORT a. Mayor Cox commented on his trip to Sacramento regarding ABll52 (Kapiloff) which the City has opposed.
