6. ORDINANCE 2721 AMENDING SECTION 2.05.010 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO
ESTABLISH THE POSITION OF ASSISTANT CHIEF OF POLICE IN THE UNCLASSIFIED SERVICE
(second readinq and adoption) The Police Chief has recently promoted two
lieutenants to the rank of Police Captain, filling vacancies created by one
recent retirement and the "unfreezing" of a six month vacant position. The
restructuring of the Executive Management of the department (as a result of the
long-term vacancy) has proven beneficial and at the same time, highlighted the
need for a "Number Two" person. Per staff's recommendation, Council placed the
ordinance on second reading and was adopted unanimously 5-0. (Chief of Police)
7. RESOLUTION 18896 APPROVING THE FIRE STATION NUMBER 4 DEFERRAL AGREEMENT -
The City is in receipt of a request by Rancho Del Rey investors, L.P. (the
McMillin Companies) to defer the advancement of funds for relocating Fire Station
Number 4 from the current site on Otay Lakes Road to the approved site in Rancho
Del Rey on Paseo Ranchero north of East "H" Street. Per staff's recommendation,
the resolution was approved 4-0-0-1 (Moot abstaining because of a conflict of
interest with McMillin Company). (Fire Chief and Deputy City Manager Krempl).
Councilmember Rindone pulled the item.
Councilmember Rindone stated that on page 7-3 it indicates that until the City
Council receives all the necessary information and makes the final policy
decision of both the fire DIF fee and the master plan updates. He asked if staff
could provide an estimate as to when they will be prepared to bring this to
Council.
George Krempl, Deputy City Manager, stated that the DIF update should be to
Council within 60-90 days.
Councilmember Rindone that answers his question.
RESOLUTION 18896 OFFERED BY COUNCILMEMBER RINDONE, heading read, text waived,
passed and approved 4-0-0-1 (Moot abstaining).
8. RESOLUTION 18897 APPROVING SUBMISSION OF A PRELIMINARY REGISTRATION
AGREEMENT WITH EXPO 2000 IN HANNOVER, GERMANY FOR THE CH~rLA VISTA TELECENTER
PROJECT - In 1997, Telecenter staff was approached by the World's Fair Exposition
and asked to apply for participation in the upcoming World Exposition being held
in Hannover, Germany in the year 2000 (EXPO 2000). The International Advisory
Board of EXPO 2000 and other experts from various fields got together in Hannover
in July 1997 to review 236 applications for projects from all over the world.
The Telecenter was one Of 73 projects that has been recommended for registration
at EXPO 2000. Per staff's recommendation, the resolution was approved
unanimously 5-0. (Environmental Resource Manager) Councilmember Rindone pulled
the item.
Mayor Horton stated that on page 8-4 where it discusses the City's ability to
terminate the agreement, she asked what was the actual deadline if in fact we do
not have funding to go forward to participate.
Barbara Bamberger, Environmental Resource Manager, responded that as far as staff
understands, the "drop dead date" is the date that we are invited to start
development of the exhibition and we have been accepted as an exhibitor. At that
point, we will have to give them an answer of whether we will be participating
in the exhibit. At this point, we have not been given a date.

Councilmember Rindone asked about the funds to be raised by potential sponsors
which would help mitigate the cost to the City.
Ms. Bamberger stated that staff has put together a preliminary list of possible
sponsors including Cox Communications and Qualcomm which are basically
telecommunication companies that have business overseas that might have some
interest in participating and sponsoring the exhibit. Staff has also looked at
a number of companies in Chula Vista that have been involved in the exhibition
business. What staff was attempting to do was to find either a San Diego based
or Chuta Vista based company that has an interest in providing sponsorship for
their own purposes because they do business overseas.
Addressing Council was:
· Guenter Streckenbech, 26052 Matlin Road, San Diego, representing Expo 2000,
stated he was delighted to hear that Chula Vista has a project for this
exposition. He wanted to point out that support not only comes from the
businesses in the San Diego area, but also from Germany.
RESOLUTION 18897 OFFERED BY COUNCILMEMBER RINDONE, heading read, text waived,
passed and approved unanimously 5-0.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
13. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE OTAY RANCH SECTIONAL
PLANNING AREA (SPA) ONE PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT REGULATIONS - Otay Ranch
Company has submitted a request to amend the Otay Ranch Sectional Planning Area
(SPA) One Plan Planned Community District Regulations to allow market flexibility
in determining the provision of Hollywood driveways. Per staff's recommendation,
the ordinance was placed on first reading. (Director of Planning)
ORDINANCE 2722 APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE OTAY RANCH SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA
(SPA) ONE PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT REGULATIONS (first readinq)
Beverly Blessent, Associate Planner, stated the Otay Ranch Company originally had
their Otay Ranch SPA I plan approved in June 1996. That SPA plan contained
various implementation measures to encourage pedestrian-friendly designs which
were discussed in the Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan. The
various pedestrian-friendly designs included three substantial elements: alley
product types, landscaped parkways, and Hollywood driveways. Hollywood driveways
are driveways which would lead to garages which are set behind the main house and
the standards indicate that the garage would need to be set a minimum of 30 feet
from the curb. It would also require a limited driveway width and in some
instances could include a landscaped strip between two ribbons of concrete. In
June 1997, the McMillin Companies, who were owners of a portion of Otay Ranch SPA
I, had their tentative map approved. With that approval, they made a request to
amend the planned community district regulations for Hollywood driveways which
was approved on June 3 with their tentative map. What this did was: increased
the requirement from 55 x 105 foot lots to 60 x 110 foot lots and required only
one model in neighborhood R-11 to have Hollywood driveways. The amendment that
McMillin proposed would apply SPA-wide. An additional aspect of the amendment
was, the number of Hollywood driveways would be determined by the market. Staff
did not have a problem with this exemption because only 11 lots would have the
Hollywood driveway requirement applied to them. It also reduced the number of
neighborhoods in the SPA that met the criteria for Hollywood driveways. At this
time, the Otay Ranch Company is requesting that the same market flexibility apply
to them, and they would like to have one model per 60 x 110 foot lot be provided

with a Hollywood driveway rather than the 30 percent which was originally
proposed. The Planning Commission determined that, based on a fairness and
equity issue, the same standard should apply to McMillin and Otay Ranch Company
and recommended that the City Council approve this application. They had two
items that they wanted to change in the applicant's wording of the proposed
amendment. There was a reference to the word, "option", in terms of providing
a model of the Hollywood drive and they would like that deleted so that we would
be assured that one model would have the Hollywood driveway provided, and they
wanted staff and the applicant work together to determine a formal means of
evaluating the Hollywood driveway success.
Thin being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was opened.
Addressing Council were:
· Kent Aden, 11975 E1 Camino Real, Suite 104, San Diego, 92130, representing
the Otay Ranch Company. He indicated his support of the staff recommendation.
There being no one else indicating a desire to address the Council, the public
hearing was closed.
Councilmember Salas asked Mr. Aden if he had seen other projects elsewhere in
California that have used the Hollywood driveway concept. What was his basic
concept of the public's reaction to it.
Mr. Aden responded that he was aware of a project in North County and one in
Irvine. The public response to them has been very positive. You are looking for
a certain buyer who is willing to give up some of their backyard for the garage,
but at the same time gets a courtyard in front of the garage which becomes a hard
surfaced play area. Although it doesn't meet everyone's needs, there is a
significant market. Their concern was that this concept is untested in the South
County market. They were reluctant to be tied to a fixed percentage and
preferred to let the market drive it.
ORDINANCE 2722 PLACED ON FIRST READING BY COUNCILMEMBER SAj~AS, heading read and
text waived, passed and approved unanimously 5-0.
14. PUBLIC HEARING GPA-97-05/PCZ-97-03 - (1) AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 675 OXFORD STREET TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATION FROM OPEN
SPACE/RESEARCH AND LIMITED MANUFACTURING TO PROFESSIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
COMMERCIAL; AND (2) REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM R-1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILy) AND
IL-P (INDUSTRIAL LIMITED - PRECISE PLAN OVERLAY) TO CO-P (OFFICE COMMERCIAL) -
PRECISE PLAN) PALOMAR STATION, LLC - The applicant, Palomar Station, LLC, is
requesting an amendment to the General Plan and rezoning of property located at
675 Oxford Street from residential and limited industrial to office commercial
in order to develop the property as office space or, with approval of a
conditional use permit, multi-family residential. The applicant has indicated
that they have tried unsuccessfully to market the property as industrial land.
Per staff's recommendation, the public hearinq was continued indefiniteiv.
(Director of Planning) Continued from the meeting of 2/10/98.
MSUC (Horton/Rindone) to continue the public hearing indefinitely.
15. PUBLIC HEARING GPA-98-01 & PCM-98-09 - REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DIAGRAM, THE RANCHO DEL REY GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THE
SITE UTILIZATION PLAN, THE LAND USE DISTRICTS MAP AND THE PLANNED COMMNITY
REGULATIONS TO CREATE THE C-2 COMMERCIAL CENTER DISTRICT FOR THE 1.6 ACRES OF

Information Center located at 820 Paseo Ranchero will soon not have a need for
the existing Information Center as most of Rancho del Rey will be built out over
the next year. Because of this anticipated build out, they would like to market
this property now for future sale. The current allowable land uses under a

Community Purpose designation are highly restrictive and, therefore, the property
owners are requesting changes in order to broaden the permitted and conditionally
permitted land uses for this parcel. Per staff's recommendation, the ordinance
was placed on first reading and the resolution was approved 3-1-0-1 (salas voting
no and Moot abstaining) (Director of Planning)
A. RESOLUTION 18903 CHANGING THE GENERkL PLAN LAND USE DIAGRAM DESIGNATION
FROM OPEN SPACE TO COMMERCIAL RETAIL, AMENDING THE RANCHO DEL REY SPECIFIC

TO COMMERCIAL, AND CHANGING THE SITE UTILIZATION PLAN DESIGNATION FROM COMMUNITY

B. ORDINANCE 2723 ANENDING THE RANCHO DEL REY SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA I PLAN
BY CHANGING THE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THE 1.6 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT 820
PASEO RANCHERO TO THE C-2 COMMERCIAL CENTER DISTRICT AND ADDING AND MODIFYING THE
PERMITTED, CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED LAND USES APPLICABLE TO THE C-1
AND C-2 COMMERCIAL CENTER DISTRICTS (first readinq)
Martin Miller, Associate Planner, pointed out the location of the site which was
at the intersection of Rancho del Rey Parkway and Paseo Ranchero. The property
owners desired to sell this property because Rancho del Rey will soon be built
out, and they will no longer have a need for the Information Center. The
original desire of the property owner was to convert this to some other land use,
preferably something like a day care facility. In trying to market it to day
care providers, it was realized that the structure was inadequate and was not
appropriate building for a day care facility. If they sold it to a day care
provider, the building would have to be torn down in order to construct a
building that would be appropriate and that was not a desirable prospect. They
want to keep the building if possible. They came to the City with a proposal to
create the C-2 District that would have a limited amount of retail and primarily
office-commercial. The Planning Commission limited the amount of retail even
more. The permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited uses for the C-2
area is very restrictive. The permitted uses would be office-type uses,
conditional uses would have to receive approval of the Planning Commission before
a public hearing. There would be no staff level type conditional use permits
allowed on this particular site. Nearby property owners had submitted a petition
stating that they were not opposed to the change in the land use district, but
they were concerned about the potential retail. Mr. Miller stressed that any
potential retail on this site would have to go before the Planning Commission for
analysis and approval.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was opened.
Addressing Council was:
· Craig Fukuyama, 2727 Hoover Avenue, National City, 91950, representing
Rancho del Rey Investors L.P., owners of the Information Center. He stated they
were nearing the end of the build out and sales of Rancho del Rey and within the
next 18 months, they will be vacating the building for sales purposes. They
originally had proposed ten years ago to convert the building to a child day care
facility. When they were talking with day care providers at that time, it was
felt that the building and its location would be suitable for a child care type
complex where they would have multiple buildings with play areas separating the
properties. Since that time, the issue of EMFs has arisen. Many of the
contemporary child care providers want a singular building, not a campus-type
facility. They have indicated that the building would have to be demolished in
order for them to use the facilities. They have been attempting to sell the
property to other types of uses that are permitted. It has been their attempt
to save the award-winning land mark building. In order to do that, they believed
that they would have to expand the types of uses to include limited commercial-
retail type facilities to expand a broader market base.
Councilmember Salas asked if he live with a C-O zoning rather than a C-2. The
C-O zoning would reduce some of the concerns that the community has in terms of
the types of businesses and hours of operation that would be allowed.
Minutes
February 17, 1998
Page 7
Mr. Fukuyama replied that they could, but their preference would be the C-2. In
working with staff, they created a zoning called C-2 that applied only to this
property and tried to eliminate all the uses they felt were incompatible. Any
use that was questionable, the Planning Commission made a conditional use which
would require a full public hearing prior to any type of approval. The C-2
zoning provides the flexibility and safe guards to the residents.
Councilmember Salas stated that the residents do have a legitimate concern in
that it was represented to them when they purchased their homes that it was open
space, and there was a particular use to that. She also understood market
conditions and the limitations that you cannot have a child care center there
either. Many people purchased their homes because of the open space designation.
It was her opinion that she would try to work with the community while not making
it over restrictive for the developer, but to give the community some assurance
that the proper type of business is going in there.
Councilmember Rindone stated the building was an excellent landmark. He believed
McMillin's intent was to preserve that building as much as possible. He was
comfortable in supporting the applicant's request.
Councilmember Padilla stated he was supportive of expanding the zoning
classification to allow more options for the use. He wanted to include a
referral to staff to begin to look at what some of the City options would be in
respect to this particular parcel. There are a number of different potential
uses such as a community use or police department store front, or other multiple
uses for that location which are compatible with some of the facilities that will
be provided at the "Y" and with the Fire Department and training nearby.
ORDINANCE 2723 PLACED ON FIRST READING AND RESOLUTION 18903 OFFERED BY MAYOR
MORTON, headings read, texts waived
Councilmember Salas expressed that Mr. Fukuyama had stated that he could live
with the C-O zoning. She believed that the community was concerned about
expanding the use of that parcel. They were concerned about being told when they
bought the homes that it was an open space designation. She felt we needed to
assure them that we are putting as many restrictions on that land use as we can
without making it burdensome for the McMillin Company. Therefore, she will not
support the resolution, because she would prefer seeing this as a C-O zoning.
There being no one else indicating a desire to address the Council, the public
hearing was closed.
VOTE: Approved 3-1-0-1 (Salas no; Moot abstaining).

18. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Rindone stated he had received a copy of the Charter Review
Commission minutes. He was not pleased that the examination of the idea of
geographic districts still seemed to be quite confusing to the members. The
proposal that was presented and suggested for the Charter Review Commission to
consider was not district elections. Yet in the minutes of January 19, 1998, it
keeps referring to that. It is unfortunate because some members may not have
fully focused on what was requested for consideration. He understood that the
Commission met last night and decided to make a recommendation not to proceed.
He felt it was unfortunate that there has been a lot of confusion on the issue
and about what was originally proposed. He hoped that this would be corrected
so that the commission members would not be misled or confused as to what was
requested for consideration.
The meeting adjourned at 7:17 p.m.
