REPORT APPEAL OF DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE REQUIREMENTS FOR FULLER FORDIHONDA -- Fuller Ford/Honda receiyed a temporary Certificate of Occupancy (COP) to allow the dealership to open and time to complete site improyements. All the improyements were completed or under contract to be completed with the exception of painting of the south boundary wall. Mr. Fuller has chosen to appeal this requirement and has been granted a continuation of his temporary COP until this issue is resolved. Staff recommends that the Agency consider the appeal and support the DRC recommendation that the south facing side of !he southerly Auto Park boundary wall be painted white to match the color of the adjacent Sou!h Bay Chevrolet wall. (Community Deyelopment DirectorlDirector of Planning) Pulled from the Consent Calendar. 8 Tony Collura, 1978 Lake Driye, Cardiff, CA, representing Fuller Ford, stated the dealership had not been painted and was a natural gray. Mr. Fuller chose not to paint the wall so it would match the dealership and due to extra maintenance costs. Originally, the back of the wall was to haye a smooth face but had been turned around so it had a split face as did the building. The Southbay Cheyrolet dealership had a split face which was white and their wall was also white so it matched their building. There was a street in between the two parcels which split the wall. Brookwood Landscaping would be planting the hillside which would eyentually coyer the wall. It was not a cost savings as it was neyer in the budget to paint !he back of the wall. Because both sides of !he wall were split faced there was an added cost to Mr. Fuller. Chair Horton requested clarification regarding the landscaping. ;(.-1 Minutes April 4, 1995 Page 2 Mr. Collura stated most of !he wall would be coyered by shrubs. At the end of Brandywine, at Southbay Chevrolet, they put in additional landscaping on the easement so the white wall would eyentually be coyered. Chair Horton questioned if it was higWy yisible from the freeway. Mr, Collura replied that Southbay Cheyrolet's wall was highly yisible because it was painted white, but Fuller Ford's wall was not as yisible because it blended in with !he terrain. Chair Horton questioned if white was the original color designated for the back of the wall or if it was being designated white to be consistent with Sou!hbay Cheyrolet. Steye Griffin, Principal Planner, replied that the original proposal was to haye !he split faced side of the wall face the yalley, i.e. public yiew, but the wall was installed 'outside-in' with !he split face to the dealerships. After !hat was done, Southbay Cheyrolet painted the smooth part of the wall (outside) to match the dealership. It was originally intended to remain the natural block which was the color of the Fuller Ford block. It was painted to enhance the appearance at the direction of !he Design Reyiew Committee. Fuller Ford was now being required to paint !heir section so it would all blend and match as a perimeter wall for the entire auto center. Chair Horton noted !he landscaping would coyer the wall. Mr. Griffm stated it was staffs opinion and the DRC's opinion that the landscape would do some screening of !he wall but at the present time the sections were yery yisible and !he difference was significant and !hat a consistent color would be important. Chair Horton felt it more desirable to haye a wall that blended into the landscaping !han haying a white wall. Member Padilla stated that as a result of a subcontractor error/misunderstanding the opposite side of the wall facing the approach to the project was not split faced, Southbay Chevrolet decided to paint their wall and, therefore, Mr. Fuller would haye to pay $3,000 to paint his wall to match it. He questioned if that was correct. Mr. Griffm stated after it was discoyered that the wall was constructed 'outside-in' the dealerships went to !he DRC for modifications to !he plan to endorse !he mistake as well as seyeral other items. The DRC stated they could liye wi!h the wall being constructed 'outside-in', but felt it important to paint the exterior to proyide a consistent color on the back of the wall. The DRC required that of both dealerships. Southbay Cheyrolet complied with the DRC direction and Fuller Ford was appealing that direction. Fred Kassman, Redeyelopment Coordinator, stated the south facing wall for Southbay Cheyrolet was multi-colored due to the type of block used, i.e. four of fiye different colors that was yery unappealing. Therefore, the DRC determined that the Southbay Cheyrolet wall should be painted, Member Padilla questioned whe!her Fuller Ford had agreed to the condition, if !hey were now appealing that decision, and if !hey were part of !he original discussions, Mr. Griffin replied that Fuller Ford had been included in the discussions. Chair Horton stated it was her understanding that Fuller Ford neyer agreed to paint the wall. Mr. Kassman replied !hat Southbay Cheyrolet addressed the DRC first and Fuller Ford came in independently at a different time. A letter had been sent to Mr. Fuller regarding the DRC requirements. Mr. Fuller was aware of the requirement but did not agree with it. ;;(-J.. Minutes April 4, 1995 Page 3 Member Padilla questioned if the ORC recommendation was as a result of what Southbay Cheyrolet had done. Mr, Kassman felt that was the more important factor, i.e. making a consistent appearance in the yaney. Chair Horton stated she had a problem in creating an additional hardship for the dealer when it was not truly necessary and not part of the original agreement. MSC (Horton/ Padilla) to overturn the Design Review Committee recommendation and not require Fuller Ford to paint the wall white. Approved 3-0-1 with Rindone absent. * * END OF CONSENT CALENDAR * * PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES None submitted. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None ACTION ITEMS 5.A&B. RESOLUTION 1448 AND 17852 AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE AGENCY AND THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, ESTABLISHING THE CHULA VISTA FINANCING AUTHORITY - -On 1111194, the Agency/Council adopted Resolutions 1432 and 17708 tentatiyely approying a refinancing of the outstanding debt of seyeral Assessment Districts in order to achieye savings in annual assessments for property owners. Staff was directed to conduct a competitiye process for the selection of an underwriting firm and to return to Council for approyal of that selection and to establish a Marks-RoosJoint Power Authority as the conduit for the pooled refunding. Staff recommends approyal of the resolutions. (Director of Finance) C. RESOLUTION 17853 APPOINTING THE TEAM OF STONE & YOUNGBERG AND GRIGSBY BRANDFORD & CO., INC. TO SERVE AS UNDERWRITERS FOR THE PROPOSED NEGOTIATED SALE OF BONDS FOR ADVANCE REFUNDING OF VARIOUS ASSESSMENT DISTRICT DEBT UNDER THE MARKS-ROOS LOCAL BOND POOLING ACT D, RESOLUTION 17854 INTENTION TO LEVY REASSESSMENTS AND TO ISSUE REFUNDING BONDS UPON THE SECURITY THEREOF Council/ Agency Member Padilla requested clarification of the competitive process that was utilized in choosing the underwriters. Robert Powell, Director of Finance, stated a Request for Qualifications had been sent to ten underwriting firms asking for in depth detailed information on their experience in the complex type of refinancing that !he transaction would entail. They receiyed !hree bids which were reyiewed and arriyed at the recommendation before the Agency/Council. d.--3 Minutes April 4, 1995 Page 4 Council/Agency Member Padilla questioned if the team of Stone & Youngberg and Grigsby Brandford & Co. originally bid as a joint yenture or if they were originally an independent bid for the entire issue. Mr. Powell replied !hat Stone & Youngberg and Grigsby Brandford & Co., Inc. bid as a team originally. Council/ Agency Member Padilla requested clarification regarding the juuior lien bonds and senior lien bonds. Mr. Powell responded !he assessment districts would be eyaluated, i.e. each parcel would be eyaluated as to its status and deyelopment. Those that were fully deyeloped and sold by priyate owners would proyide better security for !he bond holders and, !herefore, those parcels would form !he basis for senior lien bonds. They hoped to obtain insurance on those parcels because of !he higher leyel of security. The junior lien bonds would be placed on !hose parcels that were still owned by a deyeloper or undeyeloped. Council! Agency Member Padilla questioned if the agreement between the joint yenture firms was a priyate matter, i.e. how !he fees paid to the underwriter were allocated. Mr. Powell responded that was correct. Staff could address that but his preference was to leave that between the two firms. Staff had made it yery clear that they expected Stone & Youngberg to take the lead and that was their proposal. Council! Agency Member Padilla questioned if there was any possibility for hidden costs. Mr. Powell replied there would be one purchase contract for the team, one fee. and they would determine how to spread that fee between the two firms. Council/ Agency Member Moot questioned if the underwriting fees were subject to a competitiye bid or if they were standard. Mr. Powell responded that the price was not part of the qualification process. Typical fees for the last two assessment districts completed were 3 % because !hey were commercial type districts. The information given to Council!Agency in Noyember was !hat staff anticipated they would conclude them at less!han 2%. Because of the complex nature staff indicated in the RFQ that they would not be negotiating any fee in excess of 2 %. With the senior lien bonds being fairly marketable, it was felt a 1 % fee was reasonable and yery low. The junior lien bonds would require more of a marketing effort and, therefore, staff felt 2% was also low. Council/ Agency Member Moot questioned what it would cost the City to do the refinancing and how much the City would saye. Mr. Powell stated !here would be no cost sayings to the City. The debt on assessment districts was totally funded by assessments on property owners. The cost to !he City for the refunding would be his time, staff time in !he Finance and Public Works departments, and a minor amount of time by the City Attorney. That was the time !hat would be captured and recoyered by the bond proceeds. Council/Agency Member Moot stated the property owners in the assessment district would pay the underwriting fees. Mr. Powell replied !hat was correct. The bonds would be issued in an amount sufficient to coyer not only the outstanding debt on the existing bonds, but also the cost to issue the new bonds. The market had only recently improYed enough to haye a sayings that could be offered to the property owners. J-.~tf Minutes April 4, 1995 Page 5 Council/ Agency Member Padilla questioned if there had been an agreed upon credit yalue to !he City in terms of the ledger agreements for areas of assessment district refinancing that could fall within the high techfbiotecb zone. Mr. Powell replied !here was not an agreed upon yalue. That was an item that had been discussed at length in recent weeks. Chris Salomone, Director of Community Deyelopment, stated it was still on !he Concessions Menu. Staff maintained !hat !here was a yalue to the proposed action. Council! Agency Member Moot questioned if the property owners in the assessment districts were notified or their input receiyed. Mr. Powell responded the City was the moying force behind the proposal to proyide property owners with the sayings. There had been no notification to property owners because they were not extending the life of !he debt and were not issuing new money debt against the property. They would be reducing the liens and payments so notice was not required. MSC (Horton/Moot) to approve Resolutions 1448, 17852, 17853, 17854, and direct staff to include any savings to EastLake Development Company as a result of the refunding in the Concessions Menu currently under consideration for the High Tech/Biotech Zone.

BACKGROUND: The New Life Christian Fellowship is proposing to rent the second floor of the building located at 347 Third Avenue for the purpose of religious worship and instruction. The applicant is a non-profit religious organization currently located in the south part of the City. It now proposes to locate its facility in the Downtown area on a temporary basis (approximately one year). The proposed building is located within the Town Centre I Redevelopment Area. The proposed land use requires a Special Land Use Pennit which must be reviewed and authorized by the Redevelopment Agency. The Environmental Review Coordinator reviewed the proposal and detennined that it is Class 3(c) exemption (minor alteration in land use to an existing facility) from environmental review, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines. RECOMMENDATION: That the Redevelopment. Agency adopt the resolution approving the temporary Land Use Pennit subject to certain conditions identified in the resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: At its meeting of April 6, 1995, the Town Centre Project Area Committee reviewed the proposal and recommended that the Agency approved the proposal as recommended by Staff (see copy of minutes attached as Exhibit A). The Downtown Business Association, at its special meeting of April II, 1995, reviewed the proposal. The Board of Directors did not expressed any major concerns. A copy of staff s report was presented to the Chamber of Commerce for comments on the proposal. The Executive Director expressed a concerned with the perceived incompatibility of the proposed church with the bar on the ground floor of the building. 4--[ Page 2, Item ~ Meeting Date 4/18/95 DISCUSSION: The New Life Christian Fellowship is currently located at 1236 Third Avenue and, due to a limitation in space at the existing facility, is proposing to move to the building at 347 Third Avenue on a temporary basis (see locator map attached as Exhibit B). According to the proposal, the second floor of the building at 347 Third Avenue is larger than the facility currently used by the Fellowship. However, due to the growth in membership that the Fellowship is experiencing, they will soon outgrow the proposed facility and will move to a much larger facility. The Fellowship is currently composed of approximately 80 people including children and adults. They expect to grow to a Fellowship of about 150 people. The Fellowship activities, consisting of religious worship and instruction, will take place mostly during the evenings and on Sunday mornings (see copy of proposal consisting of three letters attached as Exhibit C). Staff has reviewed the proposal and provides the following analysis. Church fellowships or Missions are considered unclassified uses by the Municipal Code because they possess unique and special characteristics. As such, these uses are subject to review and issuance of a conditional use permit. This is the same case in areas that are under the jurisdiction of the Redevelopment Agency, such the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area where the New Life Christian Fellowship wants to locate the church. In staffs opinion, use of the space at 347lh Third Avenue by the church is not the highest and best use. Third Avenue is a commercial strip which serves as the retail core for the City. One of the Redevelopment Plan's objectives is to strengthen the mercantile posture of the area. The proposed church is considered not to fulfill this objective. However, the applicant has indicated that the church is in transition and will only be at the site for no more than one year. At the same time, this space has been vacant for about two years and might benefit if occupied by the church on a temporary basis. Therefore, staff believes that it is appropriate for the church to occupy said space under certain conditions as listed in the resolution and as explored below. Subsequent to staff s receipt of the proposal there was discussion about the proposal with the applicant. This discussion resulted in a follow-up letter from the applicant clarifying the activities under the proposal. Further discussion lead to the confirmation from the applicant that the proposed use at this location would be for one year only. Attached to this report are the three different letters submitted to staff. In staffs opinion, while the temporary use does not represent significant problems, it presents some issues that need consideration. One is related to the youth activities proposed by the fellowship. Staff s concern is that these activities might attract youth who might engage in unsupervised activities outside the building. In order to mitigate this potential problem, staff recommends the condition that all youth activities be supervised and that teenagers be discouraged from congregating around the building and in the adjacent alley and parking lot. The applicant indicates in the proposal that the fellowship has a "food locker" at its existing J-t-;;t. -. Page 3, Item ~ Meeting Date 4/18/95 facility. A condition is recommended that would not allow this type of service or any other social service on site in order to prevent the facility from becoming a social service organization within the business district. Another minor issue has to do with a potential noise impact. The Fellowship plans to have music as part of their activities. If these activities would extend late into the night, they could create a disruption for the nearby residents. Consequently, a condition has been imposed that all activities stop at no later than 10:00 pm. All of the staff-recommended conditions are contained in the resolution. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposal per se will not have any fiscal impact. If the proposal is approved, additional people will come to downtown providing more exposure for the businesses, with the potentially resulting effect of generating additional sales and taxes. [Fll.E:\MZT DISK IX\A:INEWLIFE.MEM] 4-3 EXHIBIT A DRAFT Excerpt from Town Centre Project Area Committee Minutes April 6,1995 REDEVELOPMENT BUSINESS 3. land Use Permit for New life Christian Fellowship Mr, Tapia briefly introduced the item. The New life Christian Fellowship is proposing to rent the second floor of the building at 347 Third Avenue for the purpose of religious worship and instruction. This type of use requires a Special land Use Permit which must be approved by the Redevelopment Agency, The Redevelopment Agency is expected to review this item at their meeting of April 18, 1995. Staff is recommending approval of the permit with conditions for one year, The Committee members discussed this item and expressed their concern with regards to parking, However, it was decided that the days and hours of operation would not conflict with the daily normal parking requirements of other businesses, Infact, the proposal might bring additional customers to the various eating establishments in the area, MSUC (Mason/Winters) (6-0) to support staff's recommendation to approve the land use permit for the New life Christian Fellowship for one year with conditions. 4-6 EXHIBIT B LJ L..J L-U.LJ I I , I i -4 I I I ::r: I I I I - I I I ~ I .L-J. -J - 0 I I I ,- { ~ - -- t- --..1- I ~ CENTER ~ ST.

First let me say that we are not trying to raise up a Youth Community Center in Down Town Chula Vista. Our main purpose is to proyide a place for the teenagers we haye, that would be both informatiye and enjoyable. Secondly-the Church has always tri.ed to reach out and be a positiye factor in the Community. If we do anything at all, it would only be periodic and principally with our young people in mind. Anything we would do in this nature would be well supervised. We haye found a ratio of one adult for every ten teens works well. You mentioned a concern about our preyious activity with a food locker. At our current location this worked weII.and was -heeded being- located across from Social Seryices. In the down town area we haye no plans for a food locker or a food kitchen. Our desire is to work with the City in its Community DeyeIopment plan. I believe our presence as a congregation in the Down Town area wi II haye no negatiye affect on the City of ChuIa Vista and will provide a positiye influence both spiritually and naturally. Spiritually as we continue to pray for the leaders and businesses and naturally as our people walk the streets browsing in the stores and spending their money. Once again thank you for your kind consideration of our proposal on this matter. Respectfully yours, ~y ~ George Runyan, CEO P.O. 'Bo;r, 152388 . 4-13 San Ði£go, Ol 92195 .
