(Chief of Police) Agenda .5. April 28, 1992 17. REPORT WORK PROGRAM FOR A SCHOOL IMPACf MITIGATION STUDY IN CONJUNCllON WITH 1HE CHULA VISTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL D1STRICf - In 1990, Council directed staff to complete a General Plan/Zoning Consistency Study for areas of Central Chula Vista where the 1989 General Plan Update resulted in residential densities significantly below those allowed by the existing zoning. During the public hearing process for the first two phases of the program, the Chula Vista Elementary School District objected to any proposed General Plan Amendments which increased allowable residential density on the grounds that the City did not provide for adequate mitigation of impacts to the elementary schools. As part of the Council action on a zoning consistency study area on 2/25/92, staff indicated that they would be preparing a work program for a study which would address the impacts of new residennal development on elementary schools prior to, or concurrently with, action on the remaining zoning consistency study areas. It is recommended that Council direct staff to fmalize the work program for the School Impact Mitigation Study and return with a fmal work program and schedule.

City Council Meeting of A~ril 28, 1992 In connection with Written Communication 5c on the agenda from the Chairman of the Library Board, further research of the Municipal Code has indicated that the Youth Commission has the ability to appoint ex-officio members to various City Boards and Commissions. Subsection C of Section 2.46.100 (Duties and functions designated) states that it is a duty or function of the Youth Commission to: "Assign one or more of its members to sit with and participate in the deliberations of the various boards and commissions of the City in accordance with reasonab Ie ru les and regu lations that may be adopted by said boards and commissions and thus be ex officio members of said boards and commissions." Therefore, staff will contact the Youth Commission and request them to appoint an ex-officio member to the Library Board, and will so notify the Library Board.

The Library Board of Trustees is involved in planning for the South Chula vista Library, the possible joint use of the EastLake High School and work on other new regional libraries and would like to concentrate its efforts on these issues.

We feel that this would be an excellent manner in which to involve young people in library issues and city government. Our first choice for a representative would be EastLake High School, since there is an issue before us now regarding the possible joint use of the school library. The term would be for one year and would rotate among the other high schools. A student representing the youth of our community would add much to our Board.

However, currently, our Municipal Code provides that the city Manager's proclamation of emergency is only good for seven (7) days after proclamation unless ratified by the city Council at a meeting conducted by them. Occasionally, there are gaps of greater than seven (7) days in the regular meetings of the city Council, an~ often the Councilmembers plan their vacations around these gaps. Given this fact, and the fact that a serious emergency may affect the ability of the Council to meet for a special meeting, it appears reasonable to anticipate that we may have difficulty convening a quorum to ratify the Manager's proclamation of emergency. The attached ordinance would extend the City Manager's authority until the next regularly scheduled Council meeting.

Staff has divided this proposed update into two phases: Phase I 1). Transfer information regarding specific fee amounts from the Municipal Code to the Master Fee Schedule. 2). Make several principally administrative modifications in the Municipal Code and the Master Fee Schedule for greater clarity and consistency. Phase II 3). Update designated fees to account for increases in costs; propose adoption of new fees. Because of the importance of scheduling and advertising for public hearings, staff is presenting this item in two parts. Phase I - being considered now - accomplishes the administrative groundwork necessary for the Master Fee Schedule update to proceed. All changes to the fees themselves have been scheduled for Phase II of the update to allow sufficient time to notify the public and other interested groups (e.g. Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Business Association, Building Industry Association, etc.) of the proposed amendments. There is no fiscal impact associated with this phase of the update. RECOMMENDATION: That Council: 1. Adopt Ordinance amending several sections of the Municipal Code relating to fees and the Master Fee Schedule. Note: Item 1 is directly linked to the following resolution ~ 7,/ which provides for several corresponding changes in the city I s Master Fee Schedule and should. thus. be adooted in concert with Item 2. ~ 2. Adopt Resolution adopting an amended Master Fee Schedule which reflects inclusion of fees affected by Ordinance BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: Transfer of Existina Fees As originally established in 1982, the Master Fee Schedule is a centralized listing of the fees charged by the City for services and administrative acts and other legally required fees. The schedule serves as a resource for the public to determine the costs of various types of City services without the need for extensive research or a specialized understanding of municipal government. For the schedule to serve that purpose, it must be comprehensive. In its current form, the schedule omits several fees which have been authorized by previous council actions and are included in the Municipal Code. If the schedule is purported to be an authoritative collection of City fees, the general public will assume that if a particular fee is not listed in the schedule, it does not exist. In order to eliminate such confusion, all fees currently listed in the Municipal Code should be transferred to the ~ Master Fee Schedule. The process for such a transfer is as follows: 1. The Municipal Code is amended to remove the actual amount of the fee and to refer instead to the Master Fee Schedule. 2. The Master Fee Schedule is amended to include the amount of the fee and a cross-reference to the code. Thus, the code retains the authorization for the fee, but the fees themselves are all listed in a single document. Aside from the convenience this provides for the public, it also lessens the possibility of inconsistencies in the application or updating of the fees on the part of City staff. Administrative Modifications Since the scope of this project was envisioned to be comprehensive, staff has highlighted several secondary issues that also deserve attention at this time. These changes are principally administrative in nature and do not affect the level or assessment of fees. In general, these changes fall into three categories: vague or confusing language in the code, organization of the fee ~ j.tJ4 7-..2. . . . schedule, and various other issues involving legal clarifications or amendments. 3. Chapter 1.20 of the code provides for general penalties and for discretion on the part of the prosecutor in dealing with those penalties. However, several code sections describing violations of the code have variously referred to: violations, infractions, misdemeanors, and specific fines or jail terms to be imposed. On the advice of the City Attorney, staff recommends amending all such references to make the proscribed code violation "unlawful." (Note: Although the penalties for code violations do not fit the definition of fees and are thus not included in the Master Fee Schedule, staff feels that these code amendments are similar enough in character to the others contained in the attached ordinance to consider them within a single agenda item.) Another legal issue which has been addressed through this update concerns certain fees the City currently charges which have been authorized through Council resolution but not through the Municipal Code. The City Attorney has advised that, notwithstanding any prior resolutions, such fees should also be specifically authorized by language in the Municipal Code to avoid potential challenges. ~.7~ Phase II In consideration of the legal concerns raised above, there are some new fees to be proposed in Phase II for which additional authorizing language may be necessary. This language has been included in the Phase I code amendments so that the authorization would precede any imposition of the fees and any potential ambiguity can be avoided. As the fees themselves would be presented through a public hearing in Phase II of the update, this language would have no independent effect on the City's fees. """ FISCAL IMPACT: N/A .

Richard Rud ssistant City Attorney Lyman Christopher, Director of Finance --, ""'"', 1-2 COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT ItellLL Meeting Date 4/28/92 Ordinance ~I' of the City of Chula Vista amending Title 15 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code by adding a new Chapter 15.54 establ i shi ng procedures for the assessment and collection of bridge and thoroughfare fees SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public wor~~ REVIEWED BY: City Manage~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes___No-x-) The proposed ordinance would enable the City to establish a fee district pursuant to Section 66484 of the Map Act and the charter powers of the City of Chula Vista. ITEM TITLE: RECOMMENDATION: Place ordinance on first reading. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: Chapter 15.50 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code deals with reimbursement districts for public improvements but specifically excludes public improvements that are installed in conjunction with a proceeding for which assessments are levied. However, in some cases this is desirable and the ordinance before Council addresses that. By adoption of this Ordinance, the City Council would enact procedures pursuant to whi ch it may establ i sh a fee to overl ay Assessment Di stri ct No. 90-2 (Otay Valley Road) to be assessed and collected in the event that properties within the proposed Assessment District are developed at a level of intensity higher than that assumed in establ ishing the assessments for the Assessment District. The Ordinance itself is proposed to be enacted under the authority of both the Subdivision Map Act of the State of California and the charter authority of the City of Chula Vista. The Subdivision Map allows a city to enact an ordinance to establish procedures for the assessment and collection of bridge and thoroughfare fees as a condition of the approval of a final map or as a condition of the issuance of a building permit pertaining to properties within the defined areas of benefit. The Ordinance itself is an enabling ordinance, i.e., it establishes procedures pursuant to which a specific bridge of thoroughfare fee may be established. If enacted, the City Council would be authorized to establish a bridge or thoroughfare fee within a defined area of benefit pursuant to the following procedures: ~"-J Page 2, ItelR ~ Meeting Date 4/28/92 1. Based upon the recommendation of City staff to establ ish a bridge or thoroughfare fee within a defined area of benefit, the City Council would be required to schedule a public hearing to consider the establishment of such a fee and area of benefit. 2. Notice of the public hearing would be provided to all affected property owners. The notice woul d descri be the proposed area of benefit, the estimate of the cost of the bridge or major thoroughfare facilities to be financed through the assessment and collection of fees, and the proposed method of apportionment of the fees. 3. At the time and place of the publ ic hearing, the City Council would receive evidence and testimony from interested parties regarding the proposed fee and area of benefi t. Owners of property proposed to be subject to the assessment of the fee may fil e a wri tten protest against the estab 1 i shment of the area of benefi t, the boundari es of the area of benefit or the improvements proposed to be financed. If a majority of the property owners wi thi n a proposed area of benefi t fil e a written protest against the establishment of the area of benefit or the bridge or thoroughfare fee, the proceed i ngs must be abandoned and the City Counc il may not initiate proceedings to establ ish the same area of benefit and fee for a period of one (1) year. 4. Assuming that a majority protest does not exist, the City Council may, by resolution, establish the area of benefit and the bridge or thoroughfare fee. The resolution is thereafter recorded in the Office of the County Recorder in order to provide notice to affected property owners of the fee obligation. The fee would be payable as a condition of approval of a final map or as a condition of the issuance of a building permit for property within an establ i shed area of benefi t. The Ordi nance contai ns provi si ons which woul d authorize the City Council to accept an alternative consideration in 1 ieu of the payment of the fee, e.g., construction of all or a portion of the improvements to be financed from the fees. Additionally, the Ordinance contains provisions which would allow the City Council to provide a credit against the payment of fees. Such a credit could, for example, be provided where the bridge or major thoroughfare improvements to be financed from the proceeds of the fee is initially financed through the issuance of assessment district or community facilities district bonds. It is proposed that following enactment of the Ordinance an area of benefit be establ ished for the properties within the boundaries of Assessment District No. 90-2 (Otay Valley Road) for the purpose of providing for the assessment and collection of a fee to reimburse the Assessment District for the costs of construction of Otay Valley Road. The fee would be based upon a specific dollar amount per daily vehicle trips estimated to be generated from a particular parcel assuming development in accordance with the General Plan. '6 ... ,?, Page 3, Item Meeting Date 4/28/92 ~ If a property withi n the Assessment Di stri ct is permitted to develop at a level of intensity which would cause the generation of more daily vehicle tri ps than that refl ected in the assessment on such property, the property owner would be required to pay a thoroughfare fee representing the increased daily vehicle trips resulting from the actual development of the property. This fee would be used to redeem Assessment District bonds prior to maturity, thus lowering the amount of the annual assessment installment payable by other property owners within the Assessment District. FISCAL IMPACT: None to the City. Exhibit Schedule: A. Ordinance B. Map Act, Section 66484 C. Chapter 15.50 of Municipal Code (Ord. 1764) D.

DISCUSSION: Annually, the 2% Non-Motorized Transportation Development Act (TDA) Funds are made available for the regional planning and construction of bicycle and pedestrhn facn Hies. TDA funds currently contribute about $1,500,000 per year to the implementation of non-motorized projects in the San Diego region. Also, with the passage of Proposition A in 1987, an additional $1 million of Transportat i on Sales Tax (Trans net) revenues per year is avan abl e for the implementation of said projects. The following is a listing of the project claims that were submitted to SANDAG for FY 1992-93 funding. Proiect 1. Bicycle Path Study for the Greenbelt Trail System 2. Sidewalk Safety Program for FY 92-93 Total Cost $ 70,000 293.000 $363,000 A brief description of the above projects is as follows: 9-/ Page 2, Item ~ Meeting Date 4/28/92 Bicvcle Path Studv for the Greenbelt Trail Svstem: The City's General Plan designates a greenbelt and trail system along the Otay River Valley east to the Otay Lakes, north to the proposed Sweetwater Valley Regional Park and west to the bay. This study will establish a preliminary alignment and design criteria for a bicycle path within the general corridor of the greenbelt and trail system. The Public Works Department, the Parks and Recreation Department, and the Planning Department will closely coordinate the administration and development of the study. The Planning Department's role is necessary to ensure conformance to the General Plan and coordination with other ongoing projects, including the Otay Ranch Project and the State Natural Communities Conservation Program.

These streets are high traffic volume and speed routes. Installation of standard sidewalk will provide a safer route system for pedestrians. $50,000 of TDA funds were The remaining $70,000 is The appl ication includes a request for grant monies to pay for curbs and gutters in conjunction with sidewalk installation. Staff has been advi sed informally that such portions of the s idewa 1 k project may be disallowed if officially submitted, because they are not for the "exclusive use" of pedestrians and bicycles. Staff is attempting to administratively convince SANDAG staff that the expenditures for curbs and gutters are lawful and in accordance with TDA regulations. Funding for other items in the claims will not be jeopardized as a result of pursuing funding for the curbs and gutters item. Projects submitted to SANDAG must meet but are not 1 imited to the following requirl!ments: 1. Projects must be included in an adopted regional plan. 2. They must follow CalTrans bike route standards (if bike route projects). 3. Must contain appropriate cross sections. Projects are also subject to prioritization, criteria such as elimination of problem areas on routes to provide relatively safe travel use, service to high use activity centers, connection to and continuity of longer routes. 9-~ Page 3, Item ~ Meeting Date 4/28/92 The FY 1992-93 claims totaling an estimated $363,000 will be reviewed and prioritized by the Bicycle Facilities Committee which is composed of representatives from each SANDAG member agency.

Thi s is the top priority utility conversion project listed in the City's adopted program. On April 8, 1992, an Underground Utility Advisory Committee (UUAC) meeting was held in the Publ ic Services Building to consider the proposed boundary of an underground util ity district for the conversion of existing overhead util ities. The proposed boundary is shown on attached Exhibit "A". The district's limits extend along Fourth Avenue from "E" Street to a point approximately 100 feet south of State Highway 54. RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution as stated in the item title above. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: The Underground Utility Advisory Committee (UUAC), consisting of representatives of SDG&E, Pacific Bell, Cox Cable TV, Chula Vista Cable and the City agreed to propose to the City Council the formation of a util ity undergrounding district for conversion of the overhead facilities along Fourth Avenue within the limits mentioned above. The proposed utili ty undergroundi ng di stri ct along Fourth Avenue is about 3,800 feet long running from "E" Street to a point approximately 100 feet south of State Highway 54 (please see Exhibit "A"). The estimated cost for undergrounding the utilities is $2.4 mill)~n. South of the proposed district, underground i ng of overhead ut il it i es hCi'S been completed. The Average Da il y Traffic (ADT) count on Fourth Avenue ranges from 23,400 between Highway 54 and "C" Street to 17,600 between "C" Street and "E" Street. Staff recommends the formation of this conversion district along this section of Fourth Avenue because: 1. Fourth Avenue is a major entrance into the Ci ty of Chul a Vi sta. The undergrounding of existing overhead utilities will contribute to the creation of an aesthetically pleasing access into the City from the north. /tJ-j Page 2, Itl!ll I tl Meeting Date 4/28/92 2. Fourth Avenue is classified to be a six-lane major street between Highway 54 and "C" Street and a four-lane major street between "C" Street and "E" Street. 3. The City will use SDG&E allocation funds based on Rule 20-A Distribution Formula to fund this project. 4. Undergrounding has been completed on Fourth Avenue south of "E" Street thus making the proposed district an extension of an undergrounded section. Section 15.32.130 of the Chula Vista Municipal code requires the City Council to set a publ ic hearing to determine whether the publ ic health, safety and general welfare requi res the undergroundi ng of exi st i ng overhead utili ties within designated areas of the City and to give persons the opportunity to speak in favor of or against the formation of a proposed district to underground utilities. The purpose of forming the district is to require the utility companies to underground all overhead lines and to remove all existing wood utility poles within the district and to require property owners to convert their service connections to underground at their expense. The conversion work by the property owners involves trenching, backfill and conduit installation fl"om property line to point of connection. Chula Vista City Council Policy No. 585-1 established a mechanism that reduces the property owner's cost for the conversi on from the di stri but ion 1 i nes to the residence. The mechanism is based on the following provisions: 1. Funding is limited to single family residential properties. Funding is limited to supp 1 i es/ i nsta 11 s such as point of connection. 3. Fundi ng shall not exceed the est imated cost of trenchi ng and condui t installation for up to 100 feet of the private service lateral. facilities which customer traditionally trenching and conduit from property 1 ine to 2. Approval of this resolution will set a public hearing to be held at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Public Services Building on June 23, 1992, in accordance with Section 15.32.130 of the Municipal Code for the formation of this district. Section 15.32.140 of the City Code requires the City Clerk to notify all affected persons and each utility company of the time and place of the public hearing at least 15 days prior to the date of the publ ic hearing. Notice is to be given by mail to all property owners and occupants of property located within the boundaries of the proposed district. The City Clerk is required by this section of the Code to publish the Resolution of Intention, setting the public hearing in the local newspaper no less than five days prior to the date of the public hearing. )tJ-~ Page 3, It" ItJ Meeting Date 4/28/92 The install at i on of standard Ci ty street 1 i9hts in thi s stretch of Fourth Avenue is proposed as a CIP project in 1992/93.. The work is to be done in association with a similar project along "F" Street from Church Avenue to Second Avenue. This installation along both streets is estimated to cost $84,000 and is proposed to be Gas Tax funded. A transparency of Exhibit "A" showing the boundaries of the proposed district is available. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of pole removal, undergrounding overhead facil ities and private property conversion funding as outlined above, is estimated to be about $2.4 million. SDG&E's allocated funds (Rule 20-A) will cover the estimated cost of the project.

Colman, 368 Hilltop Drive, requesting that the Chula Vista Police Department not cite drivers which are making U-turns around the south end of the del ineators on Third Avenue in front of the south driveway to the Main Post Office and that changes be made to the existing signing and pavement marki ngs. RECOMMENDATION: That the Council accept this report and not make any changes to the existing traffic control devices and striping on Third Avenue adjacent to the Post Office exit driveway. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: Staff made several changes to the striping in the 700 block of Third Avenue in front of the Chula Vista Main Post Office in early 1989 in an attempt to reduce the number of accidents in the area and to mitigate the reduced sight distance due to the post office mail box drop off area. Staff and the Safety Commission met with the Postmaster, Richard Esslinger, and made several changes to the post office drop off area, the exit driveway, main parking lot and Third Avenue. In an effort to improve sight distance and reduce congestion in the drop off area, both south mailboxes were moved northward, closer to the third mailbox. Vehicles are not allowed to exit the post office drop off area and attempt a left or U-turn to go north. The exit (south driveway) to the post office has also been modified to only one lane out. Vehicles are not allowed to exit the post office and attempt a left turn to go north. The left turn restriction for vehicles exiting the post office parking lot, has been in place since February 1989. Since that time, there have not been any reported accidents in the area while traffic congestion has also been reduced. Mr. Lawrence P. Colman, 368 Hilltop Drive, has requested that staff do something about the exit driveway and the enforcement of the left turn prohibition. It is also being requested that a traffic signal or a three-way stop be installed to mitigate the situation. Staff does not recommend any of these suggestions. I,). -I Page 2, Item I~ Meeting Date 4/21/92 The existing signing and striping is considered appropriate for the conditions. The mailbox drop off area and the post office exit driveway each have their own no left/U-turn signs. Both the exit driveway and the mailbox drop off area are clearly marked and identified so that a motorist knows that the only legal movement out of the post office is to make a right turn and go south on Third Avenue to K Street. The perimeter of the painted median on Third Avenue is marked by two sets of solid double yellow centerline stripes. In addition, on the inside of the painted median are six (6) raised delineators, and a no left turn sign mounted above a pair of yellow reflective markers. The signs in the area are not considered to be excessive. Mr. Colman mentions in his letter that instructions given to drivers in the California Driver Handbook issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles need to be considered. Staff has investigated this concern and found that there is clear mention and illustration that the meaning of two sets of solid double yellow lines signify a painted median and that it is not permitted to drive on or over thi s part of the roadway. You may not make a 1 eft turn or U-turn across the painted median. In the 12-month period previous to the installation of the signs and delineators in February 1989, there were 3 reported accidents involving left turns out of the post office. In the 36-month period since the signs were installed, there have been no reported accidents at this location involving vehicles attempting the prohibited left turns out of the post office. With average daily traffic counts of approximately 23,220 vehicles per day combined with an 85th percentile speed and posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour, staff does not recommend any additional changes to the signing and striping of Third Avenue in the vicinity of the post office mailbox drop off area and exit dri veway. Traffi c congestion on Thi rd Avenue and the post offi ce has been reduced and traffi c safety has increased with the 1 eft turn prohi bit ion and current signing and striping.

Avenue Chula Vista, CA 91910 RE: Citizen/Police Relationships Dear Chief Emerson: I am writing to inform you personally of the matter which I discussed before the Chula Vista City Council last night in open communications. But first, I want to congratulate you upon your appointment as Chief of police of our great city, and to wish you much success and personal satisfaction. In my nineteen years as a resident of Chula Vista, I have always - until recently - felt that the Police Department was always acting in the best interests of our residents. Over the years, whenever I or my neighbors have needed help from your department, your staff and officers were always outstanding in the conduct of their responsibilities. I believe that you are lucky to have such a fine staff and such fine officers. I felt that there was truly a supportive relationship between the residents of Chula Vista and the police Department. I sincerely want to do everything possible to preserve this traditional supportive relationship, which is an integral part of the quality of life of our city. No doubt you share this objective. However, you may not be aware of changes made by the Interim Chief of police in the period following the retirement of Chief Winners in mid-October '91, changes which you have now inherited. According to your own officers, the "numbers" expected of your Traffic Control Officers were greatly increased in the late Fall of 1991. I was not aware of this until recently, when I became a victim of their new, aggressive tactics on two different occasions. I was issued a citation on January 7, 1992 at 6:55 A.M. by Officer L. Davis (#300) for making a turn which I had made a thousand times before on Third Avenue past the Post Office. I have since obtained the statistics on citations for sign violations in the past six months in the 700 block of Third Avenue (See attached letter of February 6th., 1992). The aggressivity to which I refer is obvious in the statisticsl Your Officers averaged 2 citations per month in August, september, October and November, 1991. They averaged 19.5 such citations per month in December '91 and January '92l In oecember and January you took approximately $3,500 in fines away from the citizens and drivers of Chula vista just for this alleged offense, during economic times when nobody can afford such fines. /.2. -" Chief Richard Emerson Chula vista police Department February 9, 1992 Page 2 of 3 I call it an alleged offense, because our very talented Traffic Engineer, Mr. Frank Rivera, was not aware that the police Department was issuing citations for this particular turn on Third Avenue. He had not anticipated that such a turn would be treated as an offensel The traffic flow changes made when Richard Esslinger was Postmaster in 1989 were designed to ease the flow of traffic in and out of the Post Office, not to create a trap for unsuspecting motorists - a trap which your officers are now taking advantage of in order to meet their new citation quotas. The second "incident" which I experienced involved tailgating of my car by a police car all the way east on "F" Street from about 4th. or 5th Avenue one evening in late January. I had committed no infraction, and I did not even know that the car which was aggressively intimidating me was a police car until I turned off Hilltop Drive into my home. He then continued south on Hilltop Drive. He could have passed me at any time, if he had been in a rush. He could have pulled me over, but he did not do so. Instead, he acted in an aggressive, threatening, intimidating manner, for no apparent reason. My fears were reinforced when I was told by one of your Officers that the feel the same ressure and a ressivit INSIDE t e pollce Department t at I as a cltlzen ave fe t outslde t e Department. Some Officers are very unhappy over this change in the way they are being directed and supervised. Surely the number of traffic citations issued is no index of an Officer's competence or performance of his job. If anything, I would consider an unusually high citation rate to warrant investigation of the attitudes and integrity of an Officer. We the citizens of Chula vista do not benefit from having your Officers lying in wait to trap our city's drivers in situations where the signage and road marking is defective or ambiguous. We become victims of police aggressivity in such a situation. Encouraging - indeed directing - such aggressivity is only a short step in the path toward developing situations leading to charges of police brutality. Chula vista does not need a Rodney King incident. I therefore urge you to take the pressure off your fine Officers and let them do the jobs for which they are needed and wanted. Harassing drivers with alleged traffic violations and intimidating actions should not be part of their assignments. I further urge you to consult with your Traffic Engineer, Mr. Frank Rivera, to permanently remedy the ambiguous Post Office traffic situation. I would encourage you to instruct your Officers to stop issuing citations for the alleged wrong turn at the Post Office, until the signage and marking is fully corrected. ).;J. -7 Chief Richard Emerson Chula Vista Chief of Police February 19, 1992 Page 3 of 3 Finally, I would suggest that you consider revoking all the similar citations issued by your Officers, under duress of meeting quotas, for left turn violations at the Post Office issued in December, January and through to the current time. Should you, however, determine that the citations in question should remain, I ask you to assure that Officer L. Davis (.300) is present for my trial in Department 3 of Municipal Court on March 6, 1992, at 1:30 P.M., as I intend to question him in great detail in the conduct of my defense. His failure to appear would benefit me, but would leave the underlying issues of quotas, entrapment, police agressivity and defective signage unresolved, and would continue to expose our citizens to unwarranted citations and penalties. Failure to resolve these issues would seriously undermine relationships between your Officers and the Community, and would destroy the quality of life in our fine city. Further to my defense, I would appreciate being advised of the name of the immediate supervisor of Officer Davis. Sincerely, , Lawrence P.

Dear Mr. Rivera: I am the person who met with you on the morning of February 4, 1992 at your office to discuss the traffic signage at the exit to the post office in the 700 block of Third Avenue. I appreciate your cooperation, interest and concern. You may recall that I received a citation on January 7, 1992 for alleged violation of California Vehicle Code section 21461 (a) Violation of Traffic Signs (No Left Turn), at the exit to the Post Office. As you know, it is physically impossible to make a left turn at this location, because you have installed a barrier dividing the road at this location. Nevertheless, the Chula vista Police have been issuing a great number of citations for this violation during the months of December 1991 and January, 1992. Although I have not yet received the requested February 1992 statistics, I enclose a copy of the letter of February 6, 1992 from the Chula vista Police Department showing the historical statistics for this citation, through January, 1992. Yesterday Judge Russell of the Municipal Court of the South Bay Judicial District issued a one-month continuance of my case, to allow for completion of the internal investigation now in process within the City of Chula vista and the CVPD. However, in the course of the discussion in open court, Judge Russell made two very significant comments which I would like to bring to your attention. These were, roughly paraphrased: a) In recent times he has found many people guilty of this same violation. b) He believes that the problem is that there are too many signs at this location. Judge Russell is clearly well aware that a problem exists with the signage and/or marking at this location, and that many people are being fined for traffic violations of the signage at this location. I;L -/P Mr. Frank Rivera Signage at Post Office March 7, 1992 Page 2 of 2 This is a situation that must STOPI As long as the signage/markings remain as they are, people will continue to allegedly violate them. On Tuesday afternoon, March 3, 1992, I photographed five drivers in the space of ten minutes making substantially the same move for which I and many others have been cited. Anyone can go stand down there and see this phenomenon taking place continually! This was an alleged violation of one every two minutes (from 2:50 PM to 3:00 PM that afternoon)! Clearly the public does not know that this is considered by the Chula vista police Department to be a violation. In the meantime, the drivers of Chula vista are being victimized. Chula vista Police Officers are staking out the area, lying in wait for unsuspecting motorists. Hard-earned moneys are being picked from their pockets in the form of supposedly legal fines. This is clearly a situation that must STOPI With your special knowledge of the traffic engineering field, you are uniquely qualified to remedy this situation immediately, on your own recognizance. I encourage you to give full consideration to all aspects of the problem, including the possibility of installing a three-way stop or a traffic light at this location. Please carefully consider not only the engineering aspects, but also the statutory considerations, case law, and the instructions given to drivers in the California Driver Handbook issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. The complexity and ambiguity of the application of the statutes and instructions in this situation is readily apparent. I admire all the other excellent changes that you have introduced to improve the flow of traffic in Chula Vista.

CALIFORNIA 92Gl0 of / DATE March 25, 1992 VIA The Honorable Mayor and City Council John Goss, City Manage(j Richard P. Emerson, Chief of Police ~ TO FROM . , SUBJECT , . Response to Complaints by Mr. Lawrence Colman Council Referral Report No. 2548 Pursuant to oral and written communications received from Mr. Lawrence Colman, Police Department (CVPD) staff have developed this informational report on traffic citations and CVPD policies regarding traffic enforcement. The origin of Mr. Colman's complaints were twofold: 1) that he had unjustifiably been issued a traffic citation on January 7th, for making a left turn exiting the Post Office on Third Avenue; and, 2) that on an unspecified date, he had been aggressively tailed by a PD unit between Fourth or Fifth Avenue and Hilltop Drive. Mr. Colman stated that upon the retirement of former Chief Winters, the CVPD had instituted both a traffic citatiQn quota as part of a policy directing more aggressive traffic enforcement tactics. Mr. Colman provided data, given him by City staff, and unsubstantiated comments from unnamed CVPD Officers in support of his assertions. Staff was directed to provide Council with information as to the legitimacy of Mr. Colman's complaints. Staff has objectively reviewed the circumstances surrounding Mr. Colman's ticket and the data used in support of his accusations and finds no indication that any of Mr. Colman's complaints are legitimate. Issue #1 CVPD Policy Regarding Traffic Citation Ouotas There is no official or de facto CVPD policy regarding traffic citation quotas. This is demonstrated by both a review of the CVPD General Orders and traffic citation data. Issue #2: Traffic Citation Data Citywide, the number of traffic citations varies substantially from month to month. There are a multitude of factors which cause this disparity: call for service volume, directed traffic enforcement activity, community events and the weather. There are undoubtedly other variables that impact this observed variance; however, in the absence of a very sophisticated statistical analysis, there is no valid method of inferring cause and effect. The last seven months of traffic citation data are as follows: Month # Change Month # Change AUG 91 1369 n/a DEC 91 1702 -192 SEP 91 1401 +32 JAN 92 2108 +406 OCT 91 2239 +838 FEB 92 1185 -923 NOV 91 1894 -345 AVG. 1700 456 The table indicates that the average variation, month to month, is some 456 citations. Such a 1r2 -/3 seven month period. During the observed months, there were three in which the number of citations increased from the previous month and three where the number of citations decreased from the previous month. This upward and downward variation is simply too large and too random to infer that it is somehow caused by any independent variable including the introduction of a quota system. Issue #3: The Validi~ of Mr. Colman's Citation Staff is convinced Mr. Colman made an illegal, and perhaps more importantly an unsafe, turn. Mr. Colman's argues that his citation is invalid is based on two arguments: 1) that the signage and traffic control is confusing; and, 2) that, in an effort to meet their quota, CVPD Officers lay in wait for confused motorists to make turns out of the Post Office. The signage and traffic control is not confusing. As depicted in Attachment A, views A and B look westward across Third A venue. These views show very clearly the pylons installed to prevent left hand turns. Views C and D show the driver's view exiting the Post Office at the driveway (C) and at the curbline (0). The pylons are designed to indicate to reasonable persons that left turns are prohibited. The two signs clearly indicate, using international traffic control symbols, that left hand turns and u-turns are prohibited. CVPD Officers do not lay in wait for confused motorists to make turns out of the Post Office. While the CVPD performs directed enforcement activity at the subject location, as indicated by the table below, this directed patrol is focused during the months the Post Office is busiest and, therefore, more dangerous. During January 1992, the month in which the Mr. Colman's citation was issued, CVPD Officers averaged only one citation per day. Here is data for citations issued . at the subject location for a five month period over the last four years: 1988-89 Month Yr Oct 88 Nov 88 Dec 88 Jan 89 Feb 89 1990-91 Month Yr Oct 89 Nov 89 Dee 89 Jan 90 Feb 90 # o o 1 1 3 1989-90 Month Yr Oct 89 Nov 89 Dec 89 Jan 90 Feb 90 # o 2 4 7 6 # 7 9 33 32 19 This is the data upon which Mr. Colman based his accusations. Once again, there is simply no valid method of correctly inferring cause and effect based on data such as this. # 8 8 35 18 25 1991-92 Month Yr Oct 91 Nov 91 Dec 91 Jan 92 Feb 92 It is important to note that the subject location earned a reputation for being hazardous. In the ;:;'-1'1 twelve months prior to the March, 1989, installation of the described traffic control and signage there were three collisions involving people performing the exact maneuver executed by Mr. Colman. The Traffic Engineer also reports several other accidents during this same twelve month period involved motorists turning left from the drop boxes along the west curbline. In the thirty seven months since the existing signs were posted and traffic control pylons installed, there have been no accidents involving persons attempting the subject left hand turn. Conclusion Based upon a thorough and objective review of complainants allegations, both the evidence and data indicates his complaints are not legitimate. ),).,/5 ItIIAVHMl;N I " View A VIEW 8 VIEW C. ~~~ji;f~ E~ij1L~r~~:~~~~~!l~~jj~:j~;~li~~~~!~{~{~~i\~~~t& VIE~ [) ),).-/q, I'I-V OTIER ROAD IN\' R/W PED -lJElHCtE-- IIlIV./PED ASSOC WEA LIT 5 CON WIT CTL ACT NO.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item 13 Meeting Date 4/28/92 ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit PCC-91-24; Appeal of Planning Commission approval of request to redevelop service station and add mini- market and car wash at 1498 Melrose Avenue Resolution Affirming the decision of the Planning Commission and thereby approving PCC-91-24 SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning /t!t.( REVIEWED BY: City Manager B (4/5tbs Vote: Yes_No.1O This item is a proposal to redevelop the service station at 1498 Melrose Avenue with new facilities, including new gas dispenser islands and canopy, 1800 sq. ft. mini-market, and a 750 sq. ft. automatic car wash. It has been called forward on appeal by the City Council in response to concerns raised by surrounding residents and business owners with respect to traffic and concentration of liquor sales. The matter was continued from the meeting of March 24, 1992, in order to allow the Council to first consider a report on alcohol sales facilities in C-N wnes. Council considered the report on April 21 and directed staff to establish a review process for such facilities. It is appropriate, therefore, to postpone the consideration of the Texaco application until the new review process is in place. RECOMMENDATION: That Council postpone consideration of the appeal on PCC-91-24 until after the consideration/adoption of a review process for alcohol sales facilities in C-N zones. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: It is estimated that a review process can be returned to Council for consideration in approximately 60-90 days. The applicant, Texaco Refining and Marketing Inc., does not necessarily oppose the recommended postponement, but has indicated a desire to address the Council on the issue of timing at the hearing. The item would need to be renoticed when it is rescheduled for hearing. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.

Reso 1 ut i on I ~ &, t) 7 Denyi ng the appea 1 and thereby approving the freestanding sign height and copy area recommended by the Design Review Committee to identify the business establishment lo~~d at 830 Broadway SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning ~t: REVIEWED BY: City Manage~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes___No-x-) The applicant's proposal consists of replacing an existing non-conforming freestanding sign with a new 35 ft. high, 99 sq. ft. pole sign with the same basic design as the existing sign. The Zoning Administrator found that the new sign was disproportionate and disharmonious with other signs in the immediate area and referred the matter to the Design Review Committee. COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council deny the appeal and thereby approve the freestanding sign height and copy area recommended by the Planning Commission and Design Review Committee. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On September 9, 1991, the Design Review Committee voted 4-0 to approve the conceptual freestanding sign design subject to a reduction in height from 35 ft. to 26 ft. and a reduction in copy area from 99 sq. ft. to 75 sq. ft. On October 9, 1991, the Planning Commission considered the matter on appeal and voted 5-0 to deny the appeal and endorse the DRC's action. DISCUSSION: The sign is intended to provide principal business identification for "The Firestone Store" automotive service facility. The sign would replace an existing non-conforming sign which is subject to removal under the City's sign abatement program. The subject site is located wi thi n the C- T (Thoroughfare Commerci al) zone. The C- T zone allows one freestanding pole sign, up to 35 ft. in height and a maximum sign (copy) area of 150 sq. ft. The new pole sign consists of a 99 sq. ft. internally illuminated sign cabinet supported by two metal poles extending to approximately 35 ft. in height. The proposed sign would be placed within a 200 sq. ft. landscape planter area located adjacent to the existing driveway entrance. 1'1 -I /( " ',) ~) Page 2, Item J tJ Meeting Date 4/28/92 Although maximum sign areas and heights have been establ i shed for all zones within the City, the Design Review Committee has the authority to reduce sign areas below those authorized by Code based on the sign design guidel ines and criteria. One of those criteria, CVMC 19.60.240B, establ ishes an obl igation .... to review other signs existing within the area of the proposed sign to be erected and insure that the des i gn elements as set forth here and above wi 11 promote and create harmonious and nonconfl icting or obstructing sign arrangements." Therefore, the Design Review Committee considers the maximum sign entitlements in any given zone as being the top of a range of permitted sign sizes, with the actual sign size and height being considered on a case-by-case basis. This is analogous to the setting of residential densities within a range, as provided for in the City's General Plan. ANALYSIS: Whereas the sign proposed by the appl icant is in compl iance with the maximum height and copy area authori zed in the C- T zone, it is not cons i stent with prior DRC actions in promoting lower profile and less obtrusive signage along Broadway and other major commercial corridors, nor with other freestanding signs in the vicinity of the site. Exhibit "A" is a survey of 10 existing and approved signs within the immediate vicinity of the site. The following averages and maximums are based on seven of those signs -- the other three signs surveyed are subject to removal under the City's sign abatement program. Average pole sign height Maximum pole sign height Average pole sign area Maximum pole sign area 21 ft. 30 ft. 58 sq. ft. 118 sq. ft. Based on the results of the survey, the DRC recommended the following modifications in order to maintain sign area and height compatibility with existing signage in the immediate vicinity. 1. The overall cabinet sign area should be reduced to 75 sq. ft. (Sign cabinet length 15 ft. max.) (Sign cabinet height 5 ft. max.) 2. The overall pole sign height should be reduced to 26 feet. Based on the results of the survey and the actions of the Design Review Committee and Planning Commission to support a 26 ft. high, 75 sq. ft. pole sign, it is recommended that the appeal be denied in order to maintain consistency with the height and area of other freestanding pole signs within the immediate commercial area. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable. WPC 0264p I L/ ~ ,).. RESOLUTION NO. /""d 7 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA DENYING THE APPEAL AND APPROVING THE FREESTANDING SIGN HEIGHT AND COPY AREA RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE TO IDENTIFY THE BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT LOCATED AT 830 BROADWAY The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby resolve as follows: WHEREAS, the project is exempt from environmental review as a Class 11(a) exemption, and WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee, at their September 9, 1991, regular meeting considered the installation of a 35 ft. high, 99 sq. ft. freestanding pole sign for the property located at 830 Broadway, and WHEREAS, in reviewing the sign design criteria establ ished in the Zoning Ordinance, the Design Review Committee determined that the proposed sign was not in keeping with their prior actions to promote lower-profile, less obtrusive signage along Broadway and other major commercial corridors, nor with the average sign height and area of other freestanding pole signs in the immediate commercial vicinity, and WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee approved the conceptual freestanding sign design subject to a reduction in sign area from 99 to 75 sq. ft. and height from 35 ft. to 26 ft., and WHEREAS, on September 9, 1991, an appeal was filed by Pacific Sign Construction Co. for Firestone Real Estate which requested that the conditions imposed by the Design Review Committee requiring the above mentioned modifications be deleted, and WHEREAS, on October 9, 1991, the Planning Commission denied said appea 1 based on the fo 11 owi ng fi nd i ngs, but approved the scaled down vers i on recommended by the Design Review Committee. a. Signs should be designed as supportive elements to land use. The existing wall signage in conjunction with the more moderately designed, in terms of sign height and signage area, pole sign will provide adequate identification for the facility. b. Signs should be compatible with the nature, character, and design of the locale and land uses they serve. The signs under consideration, as proposed, would be significantly higher than any other sign in the immediate area. IJ/- :3 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL concurs with the findings of the Design Review Convnittee and Planning Convnission as set forth in Resolutions DRC-92-04 and hereby denies the appeal.

That the Chula Vista Design Manual states that signs should be compatible with nature, character, and design of the locale and uses they serve. 2. That signs should be designed as supportive elements to the land use. WHEREAS, in reviewing this criteria, the Design Review Committee determined that the subject sign was not in keeping with the average sign area and height of other pole signs in this locale and was, in fact, exceeding the average sign height and average sign area. WHEREAS, the project is exempt from environmental review as a Class ll(a) exemption. 1'1-/.2. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE approved the conceptual sign design proposal subject to a sign area reduction to a total of 75 sq. ft. and sign height limitation to a maximum of 26 ft. in an effort to maintain sign area and height compatibility with existing signage in the immediate area and in order to improve the street scene along Broadway.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION finds as follows: a. Signs should be designed as supportive elements to land use. The existing wall signage in conjunction with the more moderately designed, in terms of sign height and signage area, pole sign will provide adequate identification for the facility. b. Signs should be compatible with the nature, character, and design of the locale and land uses they serve.

DRC-92-04 Firestone 830 Broadwav Pole Sian . Staff Presentation Assistant Planner Amy Wolfe presented the proposal, which consists of the removal of an existing non-conforming sign and the subsequent construction of a 35' high pole sign with corporate identification. The proposed sign will be placed at approximately the same location as the currently existing pole sign, within a landscape planter. Ms. Wolfe stated that the proposed pole sign did conform to the requirements of the zone (CT), but did not oberve the Design Review Committee's policy for low-profile signage along major commercial corridors. Ms. Wolfe stated that staff had conducted an informal survey of permitted signage within a 500' radius; she informed the committee that the average pole sign height within the area was approximately 21 'feet, with the average sign area being 58 feet. She stated that after taking the survey information, site constraints, and the committee's low-profile signage policy into consideration, staff was recommending that the overall pole sign height be reduced to 26 feet and the sign area be reduced to 75 square feet. She added that as an alternative, a low-profile monument sign could be considered. Committee Ouest ions Member Landers asked why staff's recommended height was not closer to the average 21' height of other signs in the area? Ms. Wolfe responded that staff felt that due to the height of the building, and the size of the signage, the sign needed to be higher than the typical signs in the area. She added that the site lent itself to the increased height, as the lot is wider and contains quite a. bit of landscaping to serve as a buffer. Gilman asked about the building'S height; Terry Dilgard stated that he believed the building to be 18 feet high. Aoolicant Resoonse Terry Dilgard, of Pacific sign construction, addressed the committee, informing members that Firestone had contacted his company as a result of the city's sign abatement program. He stated that the zoning ordinance allowed the sign area based on frontage, and that the height was likewise permitted by ordinance. He noted J,/--/Y -..... L l DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE -11- AUGUST 26. 1991 that within staff's survey area, the three lots with 100' frontage are the three large signs, with over 100 square feet of signage. Mr. Dilgard cited other examples of legal signs within the area, and noted that within the past year Pep Boys had received a sign permit for similar height and area to that presently requested. Mr. Hernandez responded that the committee's responsibility was to ensure that sign design was harmonious and proportionate to adjacent signs, as well as being aesthetically pleasing. He stated that to determine whether these criteria were being met, staff had surveyed signs in the area, and that it was from the information thus obtained that staff had based its recommendations. Mr. Dilgard pointed out that it is unclear to applicants whether or not they can actually obtain signs that conform to zoning requirements. He added that he had no way of being sure that he could obtain approval for a given sign, regardless of whether it met city sign height and area requirements as stated in the section relating to the particular zone. Committee Resoonse/Discussion Member Landers stated that she felt staff's recommendations to be reasonable, based on the height of the building, and that she found the recommendations more than adequate to advertise the business. She added that the committee's intent was to reduce the clutter along Broadway, pointing out that photographs presented displayed that the area did have a cluttered appearance with regard to signage. Flach and other members agreed with this assessment. MSUC (Landers/spethman) (4-0, [Alberdi not present]) to approve DRC-92-04 subject to the recommendations listed in the staff report. J).

ADJOUlUlKENT The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m. 1'1--/9 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES ., /tI-.20 ITEM 5: PUBLIC HEARING: DRC-92-{)4: APPEAL OF DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE'S DECISION TO CONDITIONALLY APPROVE INSTALLATION OF A 34.5 FT. HIGH FREESTANDING POLE SIGN AT 830 BROADWAY - The Firestone Store Associate Planner Hernandez gave an overview of the project, noting that the Design Review Committee (ORC) had approved the conceptual pole sign design subject to reduction of the pole sign's area and height, as suggested by staff. On September 9, 1991, the applicant had f1led an appeal seeking to retain the proposed sign design as submitted, and citing that other businesses of similar nature, which were located along Broadway, had been permitted to insta1llarger signs with a 35 ft. height. Staff recommended that the appeal be denied. Commissioner Martin asked if the DRC had approved the proposed sign, or a smaller sized sign. Associate Planner Hernandez answered that the DRC had approved the sign design with a reduction in the height of the sign to 26 feet to conform to the surroundings. Commissioner Martin questioned why Firestone would not agree to a 26-foot sign. Mr. Hernandez replied that the question would have to be answered by the Firestone representative. This being the time and the place as advertised, the public hearing was opened. Terry Dulgard, Pacific Sign Company, representing Firestone stated that the size of the sign was based on the linear frontage of the property; a minimum 50-foot frontage is needed for a ground sign. The property next door had a 35 ft. high sign, with over 130+ sq. ft. of signage. Mr. Dulgard said that was Firestone's argument-that there were other businesses on Broadway like theirs with the same froiltage that were allowed to have 35 ft. high signs. He felt the sign was compatible with the use of the property; if it was lowered down 8 ft., it would be visible from about a block away which would be enough to make a safe lane change. If the sign was lowered to 26 ft., the sign would be hidden by the building which is 20 ft. high. Commissioner Martin asked for clarification as to the top of the sign. Mr. Dulgard said the sign currently was 42 ft. high, and lowering it by 8 ft. would make it 34.5 ft., which was the applicant's proposed height. No one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. Chair Fuller asked about other signs which did not have to go before Design Review. What was the criteria, and if the other signs were conforming. Assistant Director Ken Lee said most of it was because of the timing. In terms of the one particular sign Mr. Dulgard had cited--Tire World--it had been under discussion for approximately 1-112 years with the applicant and the City Attorney. It had not gone to Design Review, because it had not started out in that manner. The Design Review Committee had just recently been utilized in this capacity because of a change in the ordinance. Mr. Lee agreed with Mr. Dulgard regarding some of the signs on Broadway being partially blocked by buildings, and with zero setbacks. It was very difficult when comparing with other signs, when they went in, and under what circumstances. /,-/~;;./ , There was further discussion comparing signs in the area, sign heights, and building locations. Commissioner Casillas commented that the Planning Commission should be consistent in supporting the Design Review Committee. He would support the recommendation to deny. MSUC (CasillaslDecker) 5-0 (Cc.>mmkqoner Tugenber& absent) that the appeal be denied, and that the Plannin& Commk~lon approve the conceptual sign design, subject to an overall pole sign height reduction to 26 ft.

Council directed staff and American Golf to develop and present to Council a proposal for a resident discount rate before any future increase is considered. RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resident/non-resident fee schedule proposed' by American Golf. BOARDS AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At its April 1992 meeting the Parks and Recreation Commission voted 5-0 (Carpenter - Willett absent) to approve the golf course fee increase. A copy of the minutes of that meeting are attached (Attachment A). DISCUSSION: American Golf has developed and is proposing a two tiered resident/non-resident rate system requested by Council. The two tier schedule will maintain the current green fee rates for Chula Vista residents and Chula Vista Men's and Women's Golf Club members; and increase the fees for non-residents by $2 for weekday rates and $3 for weekend rates (Attachment B). The Chula Vista Men's Golf Club has reviewed and supports the new rate structure (Attachment C). The Department has analyzed the new greens fee schedule for the two tier system and concluded that the greens fees at Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course will continue to rank on the low end of the spectrum with comparable golf courses. The following public and semi-private golf courses were used in the comparison: GOLF COURSES - PUBLIC WEEKDAY RATES WEEKEND RATES Chula Vista - Resident (existing rate) $13.00 $17.00 Chula Vista - Non-resident (new rate) $15.00 $20.00 Coronado $16.00 $16.00 Balboa - Resident $12.00 $14.00 Balboa - County $17.00 $21.00 Balboa - non-County $33.00 $38.00 Torrey Pines - Resident $14.00 $16.00 Torrey Pines - County $22.00 $24.00 Torrey Pines - non-County $38.00 $44.00 1..5"-/ Proposed Golf Course Fee Schedule Meeting Date: 4fl2,m GOLF COURSES SEMI-PUBLIC WEEKDAY RATES WEEKEND RATES Rancho San Diego - Ivanho $26.00 $31.00 Rancho San Diego - Monte Vista $23.00 $27.00 Singing Hills - Oak Glen $25.00 $30.00 Singing Hills - Willow Glen $25.00 $30.00 Bonita Golf Club $15.00 $22.00 EastLake $25.00 $40.00 Steele Canyon $38.00 $48.00 In a comparison of the municipal golf courses surveyed, Balboa's resident fee is slightly lower, but their non-resident fees are higher. Coronado's weekday rates are higher than Chula Vista's, but the weekend fee is $1.00 less. The semi-public courses' green fees surveyed were considerably higher, except Bonita Golf Club's which were only slightly higher than Chula Vista's. The resident/non-resident program proposed by American Golf is patterned after the City of San Diego's program, which requires residents to purchase an annual resident card for $8. The purpose of the resident card is to eliminate the burden and the time consuming effort of identifying and verifying every golfer when paying green fees. To be eligible to purchase a resident card, one of the following types of identification will be required: drivers license, utility bills (SDG&E), zoning map. The annual resident fee of $8 will reimburse the golf course's administrative costs for the two tiered program. The City Attorney's Office has determined that a public hearing is not necessary because this is not a City fee. American Golf also has submitted a letter (Attachment D) which the Department requested regarding status of 1991 Capital Improvements and the proposed Capital Improvement Projects for 1992. In 1991, additional work was completed on the drainage channel. The benefit of the funds and efforts spent on this improvement were realized during the numerous rainstorms this winter. The Course did not have to close the front nine for play despite the heavy downpours and only had to restrict play on the back nine when Central Avenue was flooded. The channel was able to contain the surrounding areas runoff and reduce major damage to the golf course. In FY92, American Golf intends to rebuild #13 green and replace the driving range netting. FISCAL IMP Acr: An estimated $10,800 additional City revenue will be generated from nonresident user fees. greenfee 2 /~ :;.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT Deputy Director Foncerrada reviewed the Parks and Recreation Commission Report and answered the Commissioners questions regarding this report. 4. REPORTS FOR INFORMATION ONLY a. Non-profit (Friends of the Park) Deputy Director Foncerrada reviewed the report that the Department had compiled regarding the status of the Parks and Recreation non-profit. He stated that the Chair and Vice Chair of the Commission have. agreed to serve as interim officers during the reorganization, and their names have been filed with the state as such. Chair Hall asked if the rotation of Parks and Recreation Commission officers in June would have any effect on the filing with the State of California. Secretary Stohr said that any change in officers could be reported when the next annual report was filed with the State. b. Joint Meetinl! with Montl!omerv Planninl! Committee Landscape Architect Marty Schmidt presented the Commission with a report on existing parks within the Montgomery area and proposed projects within the area. He explored various concepts such as joint use with schools to mitigate the fact that very little land is available in this area for parkland. ;5-~ PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION April 16, 1992 PAGE 2 Commissioner Roland commented that he is opposed to any use of S D G & E righht-of-way land for parks of any type. Chair Hall expressed his concern that there had been a major pooVgym facility planned for the area which is currently not planned. He feels that we should focus on recreational facilities that can be developed with a minimum of land use. Commissioner Sandoval-Fernandez suggested that this item be agendized as an action item for next month's agenda thus giving the Commissioners more time to review the written material that was distributed with the report. c. Otav Vallev Rel!ional Park Update Item tabled until next month because the scheduled presenter, Gordon Howard, was not in attendance. 5. ACTION ITEMS Unfinished Business NONE New Business a. American Golf Fee Increase Deputy Director gave an overview of the written report on the golf course fee increase which had been included in the Commission's information packets. Chair Hall asked Bert Geisendorff of American Golf if he had encountered any opposition to the proposed fee increase. Mr. Geisendorff stated that he was not aware of any. Commissioner Roland stated that he was opposed to the restrictions placed on "9 hole" golfers in 1990. In addition he does not feel that $8 is a fair price for an identification card. However, he has no problem with the proposed nonresident fee structure. Motion to approve the American Golf Fee increase as proposed. MSC SANDOV AL-FERNANDEZILIND 5-0 b. Information and Referral Buildinl! Deputy Director Foncerrada reviewed the report that had been presented to the Commission in the information packets and stated that staffs recommendation was to allow the library and the town center manager to occupy the building. /5-/ PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION April 16, 1992 PAGE 3 Commissioner Helton asked whether there was no longer a need for space to house Recreation Division personnel. Deputy Director Foncerrada replied that a need for space still exists. Commissioner Helton expressed her strong opposition to allowing the library to use a portion of the building when it is needed by the Parks and Recreation Department to house Recreation staff. Commissioner Sandoval-Fernandez stated that it appears that Parks and Recreation staff were being forced out of the building. Motion that due to the current needs of parks and recreation staff, the front portion be given to parks and recreation staff and back portion of building house the Town Manager. MSC HELTONIROLAND 5-0 c. Golf Course Restaurant and Bar Sublease Deputy Director Foncerrada gave a history of the lease situation for the restaurant/bar located at the Golf Course and outlined the currently proposed sublease. He stated that staffs recommendation is to approve the sublease as presented. Commissioner Roland stated that he doesn't understand the logic of why American Golf wants to maintain control of the lease that they have and sublease rather than just letting the lease go to someone else. He asked the representative from American Golf if they would be making a profit from the sublease. Mr. Bert Geisendorff of American Golf replied that no profit would be made. The reason for using a sublease is that the restaurant lease is tied to the golf course lease in that the golf course lease term was extended as a condition of the restaurant/bar lease. Commissioner Roland stated that he did not like any connection between the golf course lease and the restaurant lease. Commissioner Hall asked if Prestige would be working with Joelen Enterprises to build the hotel. Deputy Director Foncerrada stated that he had no knowledge of any connection between the two entities. Commissioner Roland asked Mr. Geisendorff if American Golf anticipated a joint venture with Joelen Enterprises. Mr. Geisendorff stated that they did not. 15"' B' PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION April 16, 1992 PAGE 4 Motion to approve the sublease as presented.

The Board of Directors is especially appreciative of the exemption given to Chula Vista residents and Men's and Women's Club members who will not be affected by the proposed increase. We feel this is due in large part to the support given by our members to American Golf over the past several years. The Board also is pleased with the fact that the Junior and Senior rate structures will not be affected by the increase. It is our hope that this increase will allow American Golf Corporation to continue its overall course improvement and beautification plans.

Chief of Police ~ City Manage'1' (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No..x.) Referral No. 2549 ITEM TITLE REVIEWED BY Pursuant to Oral and Written Communications received by Council, Staff was directed to investigate any recent changes to state laws that have gone into effect since this issue was last discussed by Council (January 23, 1990). Council specifically directed staff not revisit the entire Cardrooms subject and to focus upon new gaming options that were the result of such changes to state law. Municipalities still retain the authority to impose controls and conditions upon local gaming operations. Staff does not support any changes to the existing Cardrooms Ordinance at this time. RECOMMENDATION: Do not amend existing Cardrooms Ordinance. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: None DISCUSSION: On March 1, 1991, State Attorney General Dan Lungren issued a memorandum/opinion to all California Cardroom owners, investors and managers. This document indicates that since at least 1947, stud poker has been prohibited under Penal Code Section 330 (pq330). It has been the Attorney General's and Department of Justice's position that Texas Hold'em is a variation of stud horse poker and therefore is prohibited. In early 1991, an appellate court ruled, "the poker game known as Texas Hold'em is nQJ; a form of stud horse poker proscribed by Penal Code ~330." A similar document dated July 1, 1991 removed the proscription upon Jackpot Poker. This change occurred when the Attorney General's office "amended its position" on Jackpot Poker. These decisions provided an opportunity for Cardroom owners to petition their local authorities for permission to offer Texas Hold'em. Although the state's proscription of Texas Hold'em has been removed, ~19801 of the California Gaming Act states in part that, "nothing in this chapter /~-I Page 2 Item J I" Meeting Date 04/28/92 shall be construed to preempt the authority of any city. ..from imposing valid local controls or conditions on gaming." ~ 19824 of the Gaming Act further states that, "The provisions of this chapter shall not prohibit the enactment, or enforcement of any ordinance by any...city related to gaming clubs." Therefore, before cardroom owners can offer additional gaming options, the Council will need to take action to amend the Cardrooms Ordinance. Reacting to the previously mentioned appellate court ruling, Cardroom owners made the following four point proposal via Written Communications in early September: I) to increase the per person/per hand charge; 2) to expand hours of operation; 3) to offer Jackpot Poker; and, 4) to offer the game of Texas Hold'em. The proposal provides for increased fees associated with these additional gaming activities. This proposal is premised upon the notion that due to increased gaming at other San Diego County gaming centers, Chula Vista clubs need to offer more games and enticements in order to remain viable. Per Council direction, only components #3 and #4 (amending the Ordinance to allow Jackpot Poker and Texas Hold'em) are addressed in this report. The Police Department has determined that there is no compelling rationale to amend the Ordinance to allow Jackpot Poker or Texas Hold'em. The Police Department believes the current Cardrooms Ordinance is appropriate. The Ordinance provides an adequate means for citizens of the community to gamble locally. The fees charged to cardroom licenses are reasonable and cover the cost of enforcing the Ordinance and investigating related complaints. Furthermore, from another perspective, as was the case in January of 1990, Staff has been advised that overtures to purchase each of the operating cardroom licenses have been made (it is Staff's belief that these are bona fide offers). Allowing additional gaming activities will increase the market value of a cardroom license. Finally, there is no demonstrated benefit to the community in allowing either option. Cardroom owners will may argue that if the City values its gaming industry and the jobs it produces, it should allow these games. The owners may assert that without Jackpot Poker, Texas Hold'em and the remainder of their increased gaming activities proposal, they will be unable to compete with other county gaming centers for business. The point of this argument being that if they are unable to compete with other county gaming centers, local owners will be forced to close their doors, or, sell their licenses to the highest bidder; and, that the highest bidder may be a non-local entity who may bring in employees from outside the community. While this line of reasoning seems sound, it must be examined in the context of the entire cardroom issue. According to ~5.20 of the Municipal Code, the Chief of Police and ultimately City Council, make the determination who may operate a cardroom in Chula Vista. If licenses are transferred, the applicant must meet, ".. . all of the requirements for the initial issuance of such a cardroom license." (see ~5.20.030) Therefore, it is presumable that the Chief of Police or City Council would appropriately deny applications should, ... "there appears (sic) to be good /~";2 Page 3 Item I ~ Meeting Date 04/28/92 cause why such person should not operate a cardroom." (see ~5.20.060) Therefore, the Police Department is comfortable with non-local ownership under the existing gaming restrictions. Additional background on this subject is provided in the Attachments to this document. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the rejection of additional gaming options now available as a result of recent changes in state law. /;'--3 #J/9LC~ TAB E .

Ass~S,~~ City Attorney Rudolf Dir~of Public Safety Winters City Managee;' (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X ) I Council Referral No. TSb5 At its January 16, 1990 meeting, the council considered changes to several sections of the cardroom ordinance. The ordinance, on for second reading, ellOOdies these sections amended at the meeting. Detailed below are the proposed changes that Council wished to consider together with revenue considerations in a second ordinance, which is presented even though not yet completely ready for Council review. SUBMI'l'rED BY: REVIEWED BY: REOl!MENDATI~ : (1) Accept Report (2) Place Ordinance No. 2347 amending Sections 5.20.030, 5.20.035, 5.20.160 and 5.20.190 on second reading and adoption. (3) Do not adopt the second ordinance. BOARDS/aHUSSIOtlS RECXHmIOO'I~: N/A DISCXJSSION: 1. On January 16, 1990, the City Council considered several proposed changes to the cardroom ordinance. The Council approved the proposed amendment to Section 5.20.030 to extend the time required to hold a license prior to transfer from one to three years. Ordinance 1 includes the section, to be placed on second reading and adoption. The Council also changed Section 5.20.160 to allow a cardroom operator to appeal the visibility requirements to the Zoning Administrator. The ordinance reflecting that change, is to be placed on second reading and adoption. Council changed Section 5.20.190 to allow players to be charged by the hand. The ordinance reflecting that change is to be placed on second reading and adoption. /1:> -5' o . Agenda Item No. 6 A,B Meeting Date: 1/23/90 Page 'lWo The next change that Council approved would permit consolidation of cardroom licenses, but would provide that each consolidation would result in a net 25% loss in the number of tables. Further discussion of this matter with the City Manager and the maker of the motion suggests that in some situations, this could result in a larger reduction in the nUlltler of tables than was intended by the maker of the motion. Therefore, two alternative forms of Section 5.20.035 (Sections lIA and Im of Ordinance 1) are presented for Council's clarification of which version was approved, and to be placed on second reading and adoption. A. In the first alternative (Section IIA) the maxinum nUJTDers are arrived at by reducing the conj:)ined tables by 25%. For example, if a cardroom operator CMrlS one a-table cardroom and he oonsolidates with another a-table cardroom, 25% of the total results in 12 tables. If those 12 tables are corrtlined with another a-table cardroom, 25% of the total results in 15 tables. The next consolidation would result in a total of 17.25 tables. B. In the alternative section (Section lIB), the acquisition of a second cardroom would consistently result in the addition of 4 tables to the already acquired cardroom. 2. Council oontinued for oonsideration an extension of the hours. and days of operation so that the cardrooms could remain open until two a.m. instead of midnight. Council also expressed its desire to consider the expansion of permitted games to permit "hold-€lll poker" (amendment to Section 5.20.110). Council expressed the desire to oonsider the expansion of days and hours and legalization of "hold-em poker" along with a potential increase in the license fee for cardrooms above the current $30 per table per month. In making this decision, Council should be aware that there was a recent challenge in Alameda County to a game called "Texas hold~m poker". This office spoke to the Attorney General who prosecuted that case on the theory that "Texas hold-em poker" was really stud horse poker which is prohibited by state law. The trial court disagreed and held that the playing of "Texas hold-€lll poker" is lawful. h::cording to the trial attorney, the game of hold-€lll poker is very similar to "Texas hold-em poker". The Attorney General has appealed the trial court's decision, but a decision is not expected for approximately six months. We recon1lleI1d that Council defer action on this item until the appeal is decided. The revenue information needed is not yet available. There are conplexities in making assumptions as to the cost of enforcement, nUlltler of tables in operation, and a desire to review the proposed fee increase with the affected cardroom owners. Additionally, it would be useful to review the cost recovery methodoloy of other jurisdictions in determining full cost recovery. The second portion of the discussion is not ready for your review, but a proposed second ordinance is presented. It contains a blank space for the proposed fee changes, and the language before Council last week on extended days and hours as well as allowing "hold~m poker". We continue to recommend that you not adopt the second ordinance. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A 6743a J6-? #~eh.-- Zf \ COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT ITEM TITLE: Itetll Meeting Date 1/16/90 Ordi nance Amendi ng Chapter 5.20 of the Muni ci pa 1 Code relating to th~regulation of cardrooms Director of pUblifJSh~ty SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: Ci ty Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X ) Council referral il!i30---- On December 12, 1989, the Ci ty Counci 1 considered requests from cardroom owners to make several amendments to the cardroom ordinance. Council was also presented with a request by Mr. Aran Zennedjian to amend Section 5.20.035 of the cardroom ordinance to allow multiple ownership of licenses by the same individual. Council directed staff to return with a report on January 16, 1990 that would include directed changes to the ordinance and a recommendation concerning the request to consolidate licenses. RECOIf4ENDATION: Amend the ordinance as it pertains to the transferability of licenses and the visibility of tables. If Council desires to change other sections of the ordinance amending language is available. BOARDS/COIf4ISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: I. Requests by Cardroom Owners At the December 12, 1989 meeting, Council directed staff to prepare a report for the January 16, 1990 meeting with information on the following changes to the cardroom ordinance: 1. Allow the playing of Hold-em Poker. 2. Allow the hours of operation to be from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. 3. Allow that players be charged by the hand an amount not to exceed $.50 per hand per player. At the December 12, 1989 meeting, Council refused to allow playing on Sundays, an increase in the number of tables, an increase in the number of players per table, or an increase in the maximum amount that can be bet. 1~-7 Page 2, Item Meeting Date 1/16/90 A.. Hold-em Poker (5.20.110) "Hold-em Poker" means a game played with a standard 52-card deck, or 53 cards when played with a joker. It involves each player anteing or making blind or kill bets, or both, as required or allowed by the posted rules. Each player then receives two or more uni nterrupted cards si ngly deal t face down foll owed by a round of betting. This is subsequently followed by the dealing of three community cards dealt face up in the center of the table followed by a second round of betting. Two additional community cards are then dealt face up in the center of the table with a round of betting following the dealing of each of these two cards. At the showdown, playing hands are exposed to determine the winner. Staff views "Hold-em Poker" as a relatively simple game that will not create any policing problems. This game is now being played in Oceanside (see Chart A) and at the two San Diego County Indian Reservations. B. Hours of Operation (5.20.120) The current ordinance permits playing from 10:00 a.m. to midnight except on Sunday, when it is totally prohibited. The cardroom owners requested 24-hour operati on on Fri day, Saturday and Sunday, with 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. hours Monday through Thursday. The Council indicated an interest in extending the closing hours from midnight to 2:00 a.m. This change would still prohibit play between 2:00 a.m. Sunday and 10:00 a.m. Monday. The addition of "Hold-em Polker" and the extension of the hours of operation will bring more players into the cardrooms and will increase the business volume. C. Charges for Game Playing - Maximum Designated (5.20.190) Currently no charge in excess of $4.00 per hour per pl ayer can be collected. The cardroom owners are requesting a change that would allow charging for each hand as opposed to the current practice of charging per hour. Currently the cardroom owners charge $2.00 on every hour and every half hour for players sitting at a table. This causes some confusion and misunderstandings for players enteri ng or 1 eavi ng games a times other than the hour or half hour. Specifically, they are requesting that prior to each hand a specific and similar amount be collected from each player and that the maximum amount collected at any table shall not exceed Four Dollars ($4.00) per hand for the entire table. Example: in a given hand with eight players, each player could be charged no more than ($.50 x 8 $4.001 for that hand. An amount less than $.50 could be charged providing each player was charged an equal amount for the hand. . I,,-r Page 3, Item Meeting Date 1/16/90 This change will simplify the fee collection system and will increase the revenue to the cardroom owner. As i ndi cated in previ ous reports, staff does not suPaort these changes because staff has not been convi need that a nee has been demonstrated to expand the hours and games being offered at the cardrooms. Even if there were some demonstrative financial need, what woul d be the benefi t to the Ci ty to have expanded cardroom operations? While the cardrooms have not been a police problem in Chula Vista, they do nothing in particular to enhance the image of the City. II. Other Miscellaneous Requests There are two other changes in the cardroom ordinance that have been requested whi ch woul d not have any effect on the vol ume or type of business and they are supported by staff. A. Transferability (5.20.0aO) The current ordi nance states that a 1 i cense can be transferred to another person if the holder thereof has been operating a cardroom in Chula Vista for at least one year. The owners are requesting that the time period be increased to three years. The owners feel that this change will discourage the frequent transfer of licenses and encourage a stable cardroom atmosphere. B. Visibility of Tables (5.20.160) The current ordi nance requi res that the pl aying surface of each table must be visible from the sidewalk or public walk immediately adjacent to the cardroom. The suggested new language would require "that tables are to be so arranged as to be in full view of patrons and no doors, screens or other obstructions will conceal players." The "visibility from the sidewalk" is antiquated language that supposedly assisted the police in their enforcement of the cardroom regulations. In reality this regulation is of no assistance to the police, and staff would support this change. III. Consolidation of Licenses Section 5.20.035 of the cardroom ordinance prohibits the ownership of more than one license by any person or partnership. The Council enacted this secti on in 1982 so that cardroom operati ons woul d remai n on a relatively small scale to ensure that they would not develop into an unmanageable gambling operation which could exert an undue influence in the communi ty. The 1982 Council fel t that four independent cardroom owners would maintain a low key, small scale recreational activity. /6-1 Page 4. Item Meeting Date 1/16/90 At. tfte December 12. 1989 Council meeting, Mr. Aran Zennedjian, represented by Roger Hedgecock, requested a change that woul d resci nd Section 5.20.035 and allow the ownership of more than one license by one person. Mr. Zennedj1an has purchased the Action Cl ub from Jean Luisi and he is in the process of purchasing the Xanadu Cl ub from Jo Horning as he awaits Council action on this change. Staff has been advised that Mr. Zennedj1an has also made overtures to purchase the other two Chula Vista cardrooms. If this section of the ordinance is rescinded, it would give one person the opportunity to control all four licenses. Each license allows the operation of eight tables and all four licenses would result in the opportunity to operate 32 tables. In actual operation, Chu1a Vista has never had all 32 tables in operation. In 1989 only 19 tables were licensed (Village Club 8, Vegas Club 4, Action Club 3, Xanadu 4). Council directed staff to comment on the feasibility of allowing the transfer of tables from one cardroom licensee to another. The current ordinance restricts each cardroom owner to the operation of eight tables. If the ordinance is changed to allow the transfer of tables it would set the stage for a table inequity between the four licenses. Example: If licensee #1 transfers (sells) four of his tables to license #2 that wou1 d give #2 a total of 12 tab1 es. Lf censees #3 and 4 wou1 d then argue that they shou1 d also be allowed to have 12 tables. Thi s could be controlled if the ordinance allowed no more than 32 tables. Staff feels that the transferring of tables would cause conflict between the licensees and tend to weaken the licensee who transfers a portion of his tables. A weakened licensee may then be tempted to violate provisions of the ordinance to make a business profit. Staff is opposed to both consolidation of licenses and the transfer of tables. The current system of four licenses each with the equal opportunity to operate eight tables has been successful in that we have low key operati ons wi th litt1 e or no pol ice prob1 ems. Staff does not see any advantage for the City in either the consolidation of licenses or the transfer of tables. FISCAL IMPACT: The current ordinance requires the payment to the City of $30 per table per month. These funds adequately compensate the City for police services required to enforce the ordinance and to investigate complaints. If changes are made in the ordinance. staff does not believe that these changes will increase the need for police services and, therefor, the $30 per table fee will still be adequate.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT ITEM TITLE: I te\II Meeting Date 6/Z6/89 Ordinance Amending Section 5.Z0 of the Municipal Code relating to the regulation of Cardrooms tJ /j tV Director of Pubffc Safety SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: Ci ty Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes..:...-No..:!J On April 11, 1989, Mr. Harvey Souza of the Village Cardroom appeared at the Counci 1 meeti ng and presented a request to make several changes in the local Cardroom Ordinance. Mr. Souza was representing all four cardroom owners in Chu1a Vista who feel that these changes are necessary to counteract a si gnificant decrease in thei r busi nesses due to bi ngo and card p1 ayi ng on Indian reservations as well as the inception of the California lottery. Staff has met with the cardroom owners to discuss the requested changes and several amendments to the Cardroom Ordinance are now being recommended. RECOMMENDATION: Place the Ordinance on first reading. BOARDS/ClM1ISSION REClMlENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: In the last few years the cardroom business in Chula Vista has declined and the owners are suggesting a number of changes to reverse this trend. Staff is in general agreement that changes in the ordinance are necessary at this time if the cardrooms are to survive. If we are going to allow cardrooms, then it follows that they should be given an opportunity to derive a profit from their investment. During the last twenty years the Police Department has experienced infrequent complaints concerning cardroom operations. A 1987 statewi de study i ndi cated that there were 391 cardrooms 1 i censed in the state. The types of changes requested in this report are consistent with cardroom operations throughout the state. The specific recommendations are as follows: 1. Number of Licenses Permitted The current ordinance allows one cardroom per 40,000 residents or any fraction thereof. This change was made in 1986 after the Montgomery annexation. Prior to that change the ordinance allowed one license per Z5,OOO residents. The cardroom owners were not aware of the 1986 revision and they had recommended a change to one license per 65,000 residents. The primary interest of the cardroom owners is to avoid any increase in the current four licenses. The current ordinance will maintain the 1 i censes at four until the popu1 ation reaches 160,000 and, therefore, staff does not recommend any change in the population ratio. /b -/ / Page 2, Item Meeting Date b/~U/~9 Thi s secti on al so states that no 1 i cense may be transferred unl ess the holder thereof has been operating a cardroom for a full year at a fixed location in the city. The cardroom owners are recommending a change from one year to three years and staff supports this change. The justification for this change is to discourage the frequent transfer of licenses and to encourage a stable cardroom atmosphere. 2. License Fees Paid to City The current li cense fee is $30 per tabl e per month payabl e quarterly. Staff is recommending that the fee be raised to $100 per table paid quarterly. This is based on the fact that the changes recOlll11ended will resul tin revenue increases for the owners. If only a porti on of the recommendati ons are approved, the fee schedul e shoul d be proporti onally decreased. 3. Games Permitted The current ordinance allows only draw poker, contract or auction bridge. The cardroom owners are recommending that all games which are legal in the State of California and are provided for by State license shall be permitted to be played in the City of Chula Vista. Staff is opposed to this request primari ly based on the fact that Secti on 330 of the Penal Code, which defines legal games, is vague and in recent years several cases have gone to court in an attempt to resol ve and cl ari fy the statute. Currently, Senate Bi 11 973 has been introduced to remedy thi s si tuati on by provi di ng speci fi c 1 anguage on games that woul d be legal in the state of California. Each city would then have the option of permitting all, none, or any portion of these six games. As a follow up request, the cardroom owners are requesting approval to play Hold-em poker. Staff recommends the approval of this request. Hold-em poker is one of the six games listed in Senate Bill 973. Hold-em poker is currently deemed to be a legal card game by Penal Code Section 330. Hold-em poker is defined as follows: "Hold-em poker" means a game played with a standard 52-card deck, or 53 cards when played with a joker. Hold-em poker involves each player anteing or making blind or kill bets, or both, as required or allowed by the posted rules. Each player then receives two or more uninterrupted cards singly dealt face down followed by a round of betting. This is SUbsequently followed by the dealing of three cOlll11unity cards dealt face up in the center of the table followed by a second round of betting. Two addi ti ona 1 cOlll11uni ty cards are then dealt face up in the center of the table with a round of betting followed the dealing of each of these two cards. At the showdown, playing hands are exposed to determine the winner. It-/.2., Page 3, Item Meeting Date b/~U/~~ Staff is recommending the approval of Hold-em poker. This is a relatively simple game that has become very popular throughout the state. Staff is recommending that Section 5.20.110 be written to include a definition of both draw-poker and Hold-em poker. Finally, staff is recommending that the language in reference to bridge be removed from the ordinance because it is not played and that the specific language concerning prohibiting panguingue be removed because it is by law automatically prohibited unless it is specifically approved. 4. Hours and Days of Operation The current ordinance allows playing from 10:00 a.m. to midnight, except on Sunday when playing cards is prohibited. The cardroom owners are requesti ng twenty-four (24) hour operati on Fri day, Saturday and Sunday hours Monday through Thursday would be 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. A 1987 Department of Justice survey of cardroom operations in eal ifornia revealed that 41.4% of citie~ allowed cardrooms to be open 24 hours per day, 34.5% were open between 18 and 21 hours per day, and the remaining 24.1 authori zed cardrooms to operate 14 to 17 hours per day. These figures were based on responses from 116 agencies. Staff is recommending operation from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. seven days per week. This is an extension of the current provisions by four hours per day and it allows cardroom operation on Sunday which is currently prohi bited. Staff does not bel i eve that the extended hours wi 11 create any additional police problems. Three years ago Oceanside approved a 24-hour cardroom operation and they advised staff that the new hours had not created any police problems whatsoever. Staff feels that card playing, as a form of recreation, should be available on Sundays just as all other forms of recreation are generally available any day of the week. 5. Maximum number of Players per Table The cardroom owners are requesting an increase from the current requirement of eight (8) players at a table to nine (9). This request is based on the fact that the Hold-em poker is generally played with nine players. Staff is recommending approval of this item. 6. Maximum Number of Tables on Premises-Arrangement The cardrooms are currently 1 imited to eight total tables. The cardroom owners are requesting an increase to 12 tables. They are also requesting a change in the language that requires "the playing surface of each table shall be visible from the sidewalk or public walk immediately adjacent to the cardroom." The new language would require "that tables are to be so arranged as to be in full view of patrons and no doors, screens or other obstructions will conceal players." I~ --13 Page 4, Item Meeting Date b/zu/~9 The "visibility from the sidewalk" is old language that supposedly assisted the police in their enforcement of the cardroom regulations. In reality, it is of no assistance whatsoever and it has created problems for those card rooms wi th a western exposure as the p1 ayers have been b1 i nded in the late afternoon as the sun sets in the west. Staff is recommending that the number if tables be increased to twelve and the new language reference table location and visibility be adopted. Four more tables will gi ve the card room owners an opportuni ty to expand thei r busi nesses. In the case of some owners they will not be ab1 e to take advantage of this expansion because they do not have the additional park i ng that wou1 d be needed in thei r current 1 ocati on. The ca rdroom owners are requesti ng a change in the current parki ng regul ati ons that requires one parking space for every one and one-half (1-1/2) players. They would like to increase this to 2 or.2-1/2 players per parking place. Staff does not recommend approval of this request. 7. Bets and Wagers Permitted No bet or wager in any game shall exceed the sum of thi rty dollars, and only table stakes shall be permitted. No jackpots shall be allowed. The cardroom owners have requested an increase that would allow no bet or wager in any game to exceed fifty dollars ($50). This request is based on the fact that there has not been an increase in the amount of wager allowed since 1981. In actual practice a bet of $50 is rare but this limit gives players vari ety in the type of game they want to play and contri butes to a more interesting experience. 8. Charges for Game Playing - Maximum Designated Currently no charge in excess of $4.00 per hour per player can be coll ected. The cardroom owners are requesti ng a change that woul d allow charging for each hand as opposed to the current practice of charging per hour. Charging per hour is difficult to operate and also difficult to police. Currently, the cardroom owners charge $2.00 on every hour and every half hour for players sitting at a table. This causes some confusi on and mi sunderstandi ngs for pl ayers enteri ng or 1 eavi ng games at times other than the hour or half hour. Specifically, they are requesting that prior to each hand a specific and similar amount be collected from each player and that the maximum amount collected at any table shall not exceed Four Dollars ($4.oo) per hand for the entire table. Example; in a given hand with eight players, each player could be charged no more than ($.50 X 8 = $4.00) for that hand. An amount less than .50 could be charged providing each player was charged an equal amount for the hand. It, -1'/ . Page 5, Item .. Meeting Date 6/ZU/89 Staff is recommending approval of this request. This will be an improvement over the current method and will provide the police with an easi er system to inspect if compl ai nts shou1 d be received. The change will provide the owners with an opportunity to increase revenue. 9. Signs to be.Posted in Cardroom - Contents New language is needed in this section to reflect the changes made in the Cardroom Ordinance. Staff is recommending the following general language. "There shall be posted in every cardroom in letters plainly visible, all house rules, all game rules, games that can be legally played and charges per hand for each game p1 ayed." Summary of Recommendations 1. Limit number of cardroom licenses to one per 40,000 residents. 2. Increase license fee paid to City to $100 per table per quarter from $30. 4. Allow hours of operation from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. daily. 5. Increase number of players per table to nine from eight. 6. Increase number of tables allowed at each cardroom to twelve from eight. 7. Increase bet/wager limit to $50. 8. Collect charges from players by the hand as opposed to by the hour. FISCAL IMPACT: At the current rate of $30 per month per quarter if all 32 tables permitted were licensed, the annual income to the City would be $11,520. Currently only 19 tables are licensed which results in annual fees of $6840. If the changes recommended are approved, the annual fees would amount to $57,600 if all 48 tables were licensed. WPC 201N /6 -If' COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item 17 Meeting Date 4/28/92 ITEM TITLE: Work Program for a School Impact Mitigation Study in Conjunction with the Chula Vista Elementary School District SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning $/ REVIEWED BY: City Manager(!' (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No.1U In 1990, The City Council directed staff to complete a General Plan/Zoning Consistency Study for areas of Central Chula Vista where the 1989 General Plan Update resulted in residential densities significantly below those allowed by the existing zoning. During the public hearing process for the first two phases of the program, the Chula Vista Elementary School District objected to any proposed General Plan Amendments which increased allowable residential density, on the grounds that the City did not provide for adequate mitigation of impacts to the elementary schools. As part of the second City Council action on a wning consistency study area on February 25, 1992, staff indicated that they would be preparing a work program for a study which would address the impacts of new residential development on elementary schools prior to, or concurrently with, action on the remaining wning consistency study areas. In addition, the Chula Vista Elementary School District has objected to approval of non- residential development projects, such as the proposed Palomar Trolley Shopping Center, which they assert do not fully mitigate the impacts to elementary schools. As part of the City Council action on the Palomar Trolley project on February 25, 1992, staff indicated that they would be preparing a work program which would address the impacts of new non-residential development on elementary schools as part of a larger school impact mitigation study. To date, however, the City of Chula Vista has not acknowledged the appropriateness of additional school mitigation fees on new non-residential development. Finally, the Mayor and Elementary School District Board members, along with staff, have been meeting to discuss long-term solutions to concerns regarding financing of school facilities. The study concept outlined in this report has been discussed, and the basic approach has been supported by both City and District representatives. RECOMMENDATION: That Council direct staff to finalize the work program for the School Impact Mitigation Study in coordination with staff from both the Elementary and High School Districts, and return with a final work program and schedule for Council action. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. /7-1 Page 2, Item J 7 Meeting Date 4/28/92 DISCUSSION: The proposed scope of work consists of two major phases. The first phase would involve developing a methodology for forecasting the impacts of new residential and non-residential development on student enrollments. This methodology would need to be accepted by both the City and the School District. The second phase would involve making projections of future student enrollments, resultant school needs, and associated costs, based on long-term residential and non-residential buildout projections. The results of this analysis, as well as policy options, would be transmitted in a final report to the City Council and School District Board. The work involved in the preparation of this study would be divided among Chula Vista staff, School District staff, and SourcePoint, a non-profit research organization associated with SANDAG. Planning staff for the Sweetwater High School District have requested that the City discuss a similar mitigation program with that District. City Planning staff will meet and confer with the District to gauge the feasibility and appropriateness of including the Sweetwater District in this process, or beginning a parallel mitigation study. This program of work would need to be completed prior to completion of the remaining phases of the Central Chula Vista Zoning Consistency Study, in order that its conclusions be applied to General Plan Amendments and rezonings in these areas. If directed by the Council, staff will finalize the work program, including allocating of costs and responsibilities between the City and the School District(s), and return to the Council with a final work program in approximately one month. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff will confer with the School District and return to the City Council with an appropriate strategy for funding the work program. (z000002.A1I3) I ?~,J. Phase 1 Task I: Phase 2 Task 2: Task 3: Task 4: Task 5: Task 6: Task 7: Task 8: SCHOOL IMPACT MITIGATION STUDY PRELIMINARY SCOPE OF WORK Develop Methodology for Determining School Enrollment Impacts of New Development Determine a methodology which is acceptable to both the City and Elementary School District, for analyzing the school enrollment impacts from new residential and new non-residential development. This analysis will estimate the impact to school enrollment from each development type, providing a "net" impact estimate that removes any double charging (i.e., fees paid for a new house and fees paid for the same homeowner's place of work). Evaluate Impact of Schools from Projected New Development Project residential and non-residential development within school district over 20 years. Use SANDAG and the City of Chula Vista data as a basis for these projections. Projections should include ethnic detail. Based on projections, estimate student enrollment for select years over a twenty year planning horizon. Enrollment projections should be by attendance area and include ethnic mix. Compare enrollment projections with school capacity in each attendance area. Use data as an indicator of school facility requirements. Use facility planning models to determine school facility requirements by attendance areas, for those areas identified in Task 4. School facility capacity can be analyzed by increasing capacity (multi-track) of existing facilities, reorganizing attendance boundaries, and constructing new facilities. Work with School District and the City of ChuJa Vista to identify the most effective alternative(s) to accommodate projected school enrollment. (This may require completion of Task 7.) Estimate cost of accommodating projected enrollment. Cost depends, in part, on the number of alternatives evaluated and geographic level (e.g., attendance area or district wide). Estimate the amount of funds available from all existing sources that can be used for school facilities to accommodate projected enrollment, including fees from residential and non-residential development. J7....3 Task 9: Task 10: Task 11: (scope.sch) Compare results of Tasks 7 and 8; determine whether or not sufficient funding will be available to accommodate projected enrollment. Evaluate possible funding measures or other strategies that would provide the school district with the resources necessary to accommodate the enrollment projections. Prepare a draft and final paper (report) that discusses the issues analyzed and provides recommendations/proposed policies that will mitigate the district's resource needs (funding/facilities). /7' if . . . . Apri 1 24, 1992 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: The Honorable Mayor and City Council John O. Goss, City Manage~ "Age of Russia" V On April 14, the newspapers covering the San Diego Metropolitan Area indicated that the "Age of Russia", an America's Cup contender that never made it into the water, may end up demolished and put in a local landfill. The company that is holding this boat, the Knight & Carver Boatyard on Mission Bay, has attempted to sell the boat without success. (It is our understanding that it is worth several hundred thousand dollars.) They are interested in freeing up the space which is now being occupied by the "Age of Russia" to do other commercial work at the boatyard. Given the fact that the City attempted to become the compound for one of the Russian yachts' sail ing and support crew and the fact that the City has a Bayfront it is developing, a preliminary inquiry was made to determine the ability of the City to possibly acquire the "Age of Russia" for its Bayfront. Without having developed any specific use for this yacht, one thought is that it could be displayed in front of the soon to be constructed Nautical Activity Center, along with an appropriate display which would possibly include photographs of the yacht under construction in Russia, its crew, and the history of a modern carbon fiber composite boat that did not quite make it to the defender trials. This could be a combination of a nautical symbol of the City's evolving Bayfront, as well as a minor tourist attraction. There certainly may be other scenarios for the use of the boat and it may be that the City of Chula Vista should not pursue this any further. In any case, however, I am asking for authority to proceed to get additional information about the possibility of acquiring the boat, possibly through the assistance of the Port of San Diego, who would be funding the development of the Nautical Activity Center. You will find attached a memo dated April 17, 1992 from Dan Beintema that gives details on the boat, equipment included, equipment needed, costs, customs and title transfer concerns, display, maintenance and other issues. JDG:mab russia I~-/ . . . MEMORANDtlM April 17, 1992 TO: John D. Goss, city Manager Assista~ FROM: Daniel D. Beintema, Senior Management SUBJECT: "Age of Russia" Research In talking with Chris Haver of Knight and Carver and visiting "Age of Russia", I have compiled the following: BOAT DATA Length: 75 Feet Beam: 15 Feet Draft with keel: 15 Feet Draft without keel: 4 Feet (no rudder) composition: composite Weight of hull and deck: 14,000 lbs. Weight of keel: 25,000 to 30,000 lbs. Total weight: 39,000 to 44,000 lbs. Mast length: approximately 100 feet ~ EOUIPMENT INCLUDED Hull Deck Keel/bulb Mast (possibly 2) Boom (possibly 2) 2 Helm wheels approx. 3.5 feet in diameter, covered in deerskin Rudder cables Misc gear EOUIPMENT NEEDED Cradle for display Scaffolding for maintenance /~p.C< . DISCUSSION Costs Although more specific terms of an agreement would have to be worked out, Knight and Carver would like to donate the vessel to the city, and in return would like to be contracted with to prepare the boat for a "dry dock" display. Knight and Carver would clean, patch and repair any defects in the hull, deck and keel, seal the deck against any possibility of water intrusion, step the mast and install the boom, paint the hull and keel to the city's specifications, and deliver the boat to a location determined by the city. The approximate cost for these items would be $40,000 to $50,000. Construction and set up of a cradle on site was outside of the original "estimate" and might total $5,000, but could easily be negotiated into the original sum. When I asked how much it would cost to have a first class paint job put on the boat that would last a few years, Mr. Haver responded that it would cost about $25,000 - $30,000. Leaving about $10,000 for the other misc. items to be fixed and installed, and $5,000 for transportation and set up, the bill might reasonably be about $45,000. ~ customs and title transfer concerns An opinion by the customs legal counsel has been requested by Knight and Carver as to how ownership may be legally transferred. As of this writing, no information is yet available. Disclav Mr. Haver felt that the best use, outside of preparing the vessel to be sailed, was to display it, keel attached, on a cradle, mast and boom installed. In this fashion, the deck of the boat would not be visible, therefore necessitating no expensive deck hardware or rigging. Liability and maintenance concerns would be greatly reduced. The footprint of the cradle would be about 15' by 15'. Maintenance Mr. Haver felt that the new paint job might last 2-3 years if it received proper care. Proper care was defined as periodic fresh water wash downs and toweling dry, and quarterly waxing. When the boat needed new paint, an estimate of the cost was approximately $10,000 to $15,000. He indicated that there are firms available in the South Bay which would be able to handle the maintenance concerns. ~ jE'P'J . . . xnitial Pre~aration Mr. Haver indicated that it would take approximately 60 to 90 days to complete the boat's preparation for delivery. Liabilitv Concerns consideration must be given to the specific manner in which the vessel is displayed. Obviously, it cannot just sit on a cradle if the keel is left on. Because the deck would be anywhere from 15 to 20 feet off of the ground, precautions would have to be taken to securely anchor the cradle to prevent motion as a result of wind action. Additionally, precautions would have to be taken to ensure there is no possibility of unauthorized access to the deck as it would have no rigging or life-line protection. Fundina ideas There exists the possibility that private citizens and or businesses in the area may be interested in contributing to the "purchase" . Plaques, plates on the keel, or other recognition items could be included on the display which might enhance whatever message we might try to tie to this venture. Kniaht and Carver's Timeline K & C want to get this boat out of their hair, get their bond back, and free up much needed storage/work space for a paying customer. There have been a number of offers and inquiries about the boat, but it seems nothing too serious is happening at the moment because Mr. Haver took quite a bit of time to answer my questions and show me the boat. He was really going through a sales pitch on how great the idea was to display it in a setting like you had suggested, etc., etc. It doesn't appear that they are still in the mode of "hauling it off to the dump", because there has been too much interest in getting at least some money out of it. Mr. Haver said he would keep me informed if any progress was made on any other negotiations. Should you have any further questions or comments, please let me know. The slides I took of the boat will be available on Monday. cc: Sid W. Morris, Assistant city Manager /86..0/ Cb\
