Kilkenny that there would be no problem of interference with consumer electronics because the

permit, stating that KURS is a valuable asset to the community.
Bob Thompson, representing the law firm of Taylor, Thiemann and Aitken, Alexandria, Virginia,
stated that KURS currently broadcasts at the lowest power ratios in the United States, and the permit
will allow the station to continue at a competitive level

community involvement.
Joe Cordero, Chicano Federation, 296 H Street #300, mentioned that KURS is the only Hispanic-

the community. In addition, the company has been a good corporate citizen which has shown social
responsibility through the years.
Councilmember Padilia noted that Chula Vista will be only the second place in the continental United
States where the proposed technology has been applied. The applicant has demonstrated a
commitment to the community and is seeking access to an expanding market. He also expressed
regret that the process had been difficult for the applicant.
Councilmember Salas stated that she was pleased with the information provided to Council and her
only concern was about possible interference in the residential areas. However, she felt comfortable
with the project, which has exceeded FCC requirements, and felt it would be a positive addition to the
community.

current Council should respect that policy because it is unfair to the developer to change it at this

consideration, and there needs to be balance of housing types and styles of living offered in this
community. In addition, Councilmember Salas asked the development community to ensure that
good industrial space is set aside in order to attract quality businesses to Chula Vista.
Councilmember Padilia stated that the Council policy needs a framework in which to make decisions
about the use of guarded entrances.
Councilmember Davis stated that some residents prefer to have guarded entrances for security, and
they also help build the village concept.

community. She stated that part should be guarded and part not.
