6. ORDINANCE 2570 AMENDING SECTION 5.08.020 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE R RI ATING TO
ADVERTISING MATERIALS ON TRANSIENT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES (second readin~ and adol~tion) -
Without regard to the constitutionality of advance prohibition of handbill distribution on hotel/motel
property, the amendment creates a procedure by which a hotel/motel operator could call and terminate
unwanted handbill distributions. It is recommended that until the impact of the procedure is known, no
further or additional proscription be created. Staff recommends Council place the ordinance on second
reading and adoption. (City Attorney)
7. ORDINANCE 2571 AMENDING SECTION 8.23.230, SUBSECTION D (FUNDING AND RATES
FOR COLLECT[ON), SUBPARAGRAPH 2, 'PATES FOR COI.LI~CrlON' OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE (second
readin~ and adoption) - At the meeting of 9/21/93, Council requested that the City Attorney prepare an
amendment to the Waste Management Franchise Ordinance that specifically reserves the authority of the
Council to adopt on an expeditious basis a universal flat fee which could be imposed quickly and which
would impose the same rate for all persons using the residential waste collection system regardless of
whether or not they are actually using the yard waste recycling program. Staff recommends Council place
the ordinance on second reading and adoption. (City Attorney) Pulled from the Consent Calendar.
· Joseph W. Garcia, 484 Fifth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, stated he wanted to see a copy of the proposed
ordinance. It was his understanding that the last time there was a fee increase for Laidlaw, it included yard
waste. Under the tipping fee charges to Laidlaw, by the County, they paid less for yard waste that was
already separated. It would be a good program for Laidlaw as the resident would be separating the yard
waste. Therefore, it should be costing them less to process.
Mayor Pro Tem Rindone stated it was a second reading of an ordinance to provide an option, should Council
decide that a universal rate structure was preferable to the previous ordinance adopted for yard waste. It
was not an additional fee or increase from what was previously adopted. If it was in the best interest of the
community, and Council concurred they would then utilize the legal option that was granted to the
franchisee.
ORDINANCE 2571 OFFERED BY COUNCI~ER HORTON, reading of the text was waived, passed and
approved 3-0-2 with Moore and Nader absent.
8. RESOLUTION 17270 ACCEPTING DONATION OF TRAVEL EXPENSES TO A'I'I'F_.N'D SOUTHWEST
REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL DIALOGUE PROJECT OCTOBER 21 AND 22, 1993 - On 5/18/93, Council
approved the donation of travel expense from SDG&E for a designee to attend the Southwest Regional
Environmental Dialogue Project in Sedona, Arizona on June 14 and 15, 1993. We have now been requested
to appoint a designee to attend the Southwest Regional Environmental Dialogue II, scheduled for October
21 and 22, 1993, also in Arizona. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Assistant City Manager
Morris)
9. RESOLUTION 17271 AMENDING RESOLUTION 17245 AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF A
CERTIFICATION APPLICATION TO THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION - On 9/7/93, Council
adopted Resolution 17245 authorizing submission of a certification application to the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) for regulation of cable television basic service rates. Section 3 of the
resolution stated the City had no knowledge of any cable system in the City that was subject to effective
competition. Since that time, staff has determined that Chula Vista Cable is subject to effective competition
and, therefore, not subject to the rate regulation. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director -\
of Finance)

10.A. REPORT REGARDING CHOICE OF ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION OF
PROPERTY TAX LEVIS CKNOWN AS THE 'TEETER" PLAN) BY THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO - For FY
1993/94, the County of San Diego is offering to each city in the County an option to join the "Teeter" plan
which is an alternative method of distribution of property taxes and assessments whereby a city will be
guaranteed to receive 100% of its share of the secured property tax levy. In exchange for this guarantee,
all the penalty and interest revenue (which normally is allocated to the city) received from the payment of
delinquent taxes will be retained by the County. Staff recommends Council accept the report and not
approve the resolution. (Director of Finance)
B. RESOLUTION 17272 AGR RRING TO ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY
TAX LEVIES AND ASSE TO CHULA VISTA BY THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO
11.A. REPORT REVIEW OF CLOSURE HOURS AND CURFEW AT RANCHO DEL REY AND
INDEPENDENCE PARKS AND CIJRFEW AT CITY PARKS - The report examines the feasibility of modifying
park hours in select parks that present public safety problems and increased enforcement at certain City
parks. The recommendations come as a result of citizen concerns about public safety at Rancho del Rey and
Independence Parks. Staff recommends Council accept the report and place the ordinance on first reading.
(Director of Parks and Recreation) Pulled from the Consent Calendar.
B. ORDINANCE 2572 AMENDING SECTION 2.66.270 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION ALrlHORITY TO ALTER PARK CLOSING HOL1RS (first reading)
Pulled from the Consent Calendar.
· Jon Buddingh, 1363 Santa Cruz Court, Chula Vista, CA, stated he had children that utilized the park.
He supported the staff recommendation and felt the only legitimate use of the park at night was to transit
from one area to another. They saw evidence of abuse in the park which they felt happened at night. The
ordinance would only improve the use of the park and reduce maintenance. The posting of hours would
enable the police to enforce the rules and escort people out of the park at night.
· David R. Hand, 13333 Los Coches Court, Chula Vista, CA, stated he lived next to El Rancho Del Rey
Park and recommended that Council not accept the staff recommendations. The objectives were good but
the proposal would not solve the problems. He felt the problems were in spite of the park being there, not
because the park was there. He felt the previous crimes occurred because it was a cul-de-sac, not a park.
The only notification of the proposed regulations was the flyer for the Council meeting, he had been
unaware that it had been heard by the Parks & Recreation Commission. The park had always been closed
from 10:30 p.m. on and it had not stopped the problems. It had been years since he or his family had called
the police regarding a problem because the police were so in demand they did not respond. There were no
statistics in the study to indicate that a comparison had been made with other cul-de-sacs to see if it was
a cul-de-sac or park problem. The only solution to the problem would be adequate funding for the police
department.
Councilmember Horton questioned whether Mr. Hand felt it was safe to jog through the unlit park at night.
Mr. Hand responded there was a paved path and felt there should be more lighting.
Councilmember Fox questioned staff as to the notice given regarding the meetings.
Jess Valenzuela, Director of Parks and Recreation, responded that notices were sent out to the residences
around the park prior to the Council meeting. The notices asked for comments regarding the proposed
ordinance and also let them know the date and time of the Council meeting. Notices were not sent out for
the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. Staff did notify the concerned parties for that meeting.
Minutes
October 12, 1993

Mayor Pro Tem Rindone questioned if the poficy had changed, when he was on the Parks and Recreation
Commission public hearings were noticed.
Mr. Valenzuela stated that to his knowledge the policy had not changed. If Council desired notice on
changes for park rules that could be done.
· Anthony Ciotti, 1338 Santa Cruz Court, Chula Vista, CA, stated he supported the staff
recommendation. His was one of two homes that faced the park, playground equipment, and tennis courts.
He felt drug dealing, drug use, and drinking were common occurrences at the park.
Councilmember Fox stated he was concerned that the item was agendized on the Consent Calendar rather
than Action Items. The ordinance would not solve all the problems but he expected it to give ammunition
to the police to help the neighborhood. He had previously expressed concerns that citizens would be
restricted from using the park but, after listening to the residents, it was apparent the park was not being
used by the citizens after dark. He questioned whether early park closures had been used at other parks
and the effect it had on enforcement.
Mr. Valenzuela stated it had been done at Hilltop Park which seemed to be effective as it gave the police
officers the "teeth" to go into the park and get people out at a certain time venus waiting until 10:30 p.m.
Councilmember Fox stated he did not want the problem to get worse. Staff was working on an action plan
that would deal with the hours of the parks. One alternative would be the use of a gate.
Mr. Valenzuela responded that a gate would not be appropriate at the park because there were so many
openings into the park.
Mayor Pro Tern Rindone stated there was a difference with the E1 Rancho Del Rey Park. The other parks
that had problems had limited or single access to the parks which made the use of a gate practical. It was
the first time he recalled where there had been such activity in a park that had multiple access. He felt the
most viable option was #3 regarding increased police patrols to enforce the park hours. Council needed to
take action to provide security and also balance the right of the residents to use the park. He questioned
the frequency of current police patrols and how it would change.
Mr. Valenzuela responded that the park ranger went through the parks daily, if there were problems she
would radio the police department for deployment of additional patrols to the area. The intent of #3 was
that there would be close communication between the park ranger and the police department. A monthly
meeting would also be held with the police department to discuss all parks throughout the system and any
difficulties. The Police Chief had informed him that there were also increased patrols.
Lt. Gaul, Chula Vista Police Department, stated there was a beat unit that operated in that area and all the
parks. They checked the parks as often as possible. If there was a particular problem they would put on
a special patrol in the area which would cause the beat officer to log how many times during each shift they
were there, the activity they observed, and action taken.
Councilmember Fox stated he did not see anything in the ordinance that would require increased police
patrol and questioned if staff was assuring Council that it would occur.
Mr. Valenzuela responded that was correct.
Councilmember Rindone referred to the signage costs and felt that just because no new money was applied
it should not be included. The fiscal impact statement should state what the costs were going to be which
would give Council a better basis to make a decision.

MSC (Rindone/Fox) to place Ordinance 2572 on first reading and approve the staff report and Option #3 -
to dose Rancho Del Rey and Independence parks from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. from the months of AprR
through October and from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. during the months of November through March. Staff is
to give Council an annual report for the next two years on the increased activities and incidents within the
parks. Approved 3-0-2 with Moore and Nader absent.
Councilmember Rindone questioned when the signage would be in place.
Mr. Valenzuela responded that it would be approximately six weeks.
Councilmember Horton questioned when the increased ranger and police patrols would begin.
Mr. Valenzuela responded that it would be immediately.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
12. PUBLIC HEARING GPA-94-Ol/OCZ-94-A CITY-INITIATED PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE
GENERAL PLAN AND REZONE CERTAIN TERRITORY, GENERALLY BOUNDED BY PARK WAY, 'G' SI'RE~T,
FIFTH AVENUE, AND BROADWAY, TO RESOLVE GF2qERAL PLAN/ZONING INCOIqSISTENCIEB WITHIN THE
~ CHULA VISTA COMMUNITY - The purpose of the ongoing consistency study is to resolve general
plan/zoning inconsistencies within central Chula Vista. Staff recommends Council place the ordinance on
first reading and approve the resolution. (Director of Planning)
A. ORDINANCE 2573 AMENDING THE ZONING MAP OR MAPS ESTABLISHED BY SECTION
19.18.010 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE iREZONING 9.7 ACRES LOCATED BETWEEN PARK WAY, "G* Sl KEET,
FIFTH AVENUE, AND BROADWAY (first reading)
B. RESOLUTION 17273 APPROVING GPA-94-Ol: A CITY-INITIATED PROPOSAL AIVIENDING THE
GENERAL PLAN FOR THE AREA GENERALLY BOUNDED BY PARK WAY, "G" STREET, FIFI'H AVENUE, AND
BROADWAY, TO RESOLVE GENERAL PLAN/ZONING INCONSI~CIES WITHIN THE CENTRAL CHULA
VISTA COMMUNITY
Ken Lee, Assistant Planning Director, gave a brief history and overview of the project. The Resource
Conservation Commission voted 5-0-2 to oppose the issuance of the Negative Declaration on the project
based upon school concerns. Staff analysis indicated the school analysis would not be significant end
rezoning would result in a maximum of twelve additional elementary school children and eleven junior high
or high school students if the entire area was redeveloped. The Source Point Study was ready to proceed
and staff would meet with school representatives. Staff felt the amount of construction that could be
developed before the study was final would be very limited. The RCC also expressed concem over the
amount of park acreage in western Chula Vista which had also been a concern of the Council. Staff was
moving ahead with the Parks Implementation Program which would address some of those concerns. Staff
felt there were three options available: 1) leave the General Plan as it was designated, at mid-density and
fezone the properties at R-3-P-14 which would be consistent with the General Plan; 2) amend the General
Plan to high-density and retain the R-3 zoning on the properties; and 3) the staff recommendation - to
amend the General Plan to high-density for the B-4F area and medium-high for the B-4G area, and fezone
the B-4G area to R-3-P-22.
Councilmember Fox referred to the letter received from the Chula Vista Elementary School District requesting
deferral of action until the Source Point Study was concluded. He questioned whether the School District
had changed their position.
Minutes
October 12, 1993
Page 6
Robert Leiter, Director of Planning, responded that he had talked with Kate Shearson, Director of Planning
for the School District, and she indicated that they would not be at the meeting to oppose the projects.
Their preference would be to defer action. They felt with the Council moving forward on the Source Point
Study they would have their concerns addressed.
Councilmember Fox questioned how many other areas would be affected by the Source Point Study. He
stated it was his understanding that the action on those areas would be deferred until the completion of the
Study.
Mr. Leiter responded that staff had recommended not moving forward on any further area in the zoning
consistency area until the Study was completed. The property owner, in the present case, had requested that
Council initiate the area due to specific concerns. After review, Council directed staff to process the area
because it was small and would have minimal impacts.
Councilmember Fox referred to Subarea B-4G and questioned whether it would result in fewer dwelling units
on the lots.
Mr. Lee stated Subarea B-4G was the area of change. The smaller lots, SO X 130, would not be affected
whether the property remained R-3 or R-3-P-22.
Councilmember Fox questioned whether the Elementary School District had changed their position regarding
a deferral.
Mr. Leiter responded they had not withdrawn their letter and their preference would be to defer action.
They felt, given the fact Council was moving forward on the Source Point Study, they were comfortable that
the issues would be resolved. Staff had also recommended conditions that would indicate that the properties
not be treated any differently than any others as a result of the Source Point Study.
Councilmember Horron questioned if one of the structures in Subarea B-4F was destroyed by fire if they
would be able to replace it with the exact number of units with the zoning change.
Mr. Lee stated Frank Herrera, Associate Planner, had indicated there was a clause which would allow them
to replace at the previous density. It was his understanding that a law had been signed which addressed
that question on a State-wide basis that would protect people.
Councilmember Horton requested a copy of the legislation. She stated the actual net increase for Subarea
B-4G would be thirty-nine units if the existing General Plan was taken into consideration.
Mr. Lee stated he believed that was correct but he would have to go back through the numbers. Part of the
confusion was that there were lots that indicated they were single family dwellings but had duplexes or
other dwellings on them.
Mr. Herrera stated Councilmember Horton was correct.
Councilmember Fox questioned what property owners would be told if calling in for zoning in the two
Subareas.
Mr. Lee stated they would be told R-3. If there was an inconsistency between the General Plan and zoning,
staff would make that clear. The limitations on the property would be the most restrictive.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open.

· Dan Roy Zendejas, 448 Smoky Circle, Chula Visa, CA, stated his parents owned a 13,000 sq. ft. lot
at 536 Park Way and his uncle owned a 13,000 sq. ft. parcel on 580 Park Way and the adjoining property
behind that. They had been waiting for five years and he requested that Council reevaluate his parents
property as they were currently surrounded by high density projects. He questioned if the six units as
recommended by staff were one bedroom, two bedrooms, etc. Before the plan was revised in 1988, they
would have been able to build eight units/two bedrooms and now they were being told they could build six
units.
Mr. Lee stated the property in question was one of the parcels staff indicated was approximately 100 ft. X
130 ff. The development across the street was at a higher density and was built approximately twenty-five
years ago, the project on the comer was a senior project and under a density bonus program, the project
to the west was a condominium project of sixteen units, and immediately to the east the two parcels had
three units each for a total of six. Under the proposed zoning they would be allowed a maximum of six
units on the property. There was nothing to distinguish between the allowance of one, two, or three
bedrooms under the R-3-P-22 zoning. Under the R-3 zoning, the City had a sliding scale.
Mr. Zendejas questioned whether it would be different if they were adjoining lots due to parking
configurations, landscaping, etc. and if there would be a bonus.
Mr. Lee responded that under the current zoning they would be allowed a maximum of eight units. He was
trying to give the Council a comparison to the east and west of what currently existed.
Mr. Zendejas stated if they were allowed to build eight units, he would like some provision from the Council
stating that he could build the eight units prior to action by Council regarding the zoning.
Mr. Lee clarified that under the present General Plan designation of medium 6-11, that was the most
restrictive so it would be limited to four units as the property was presently covered by the General Plan.
The zoning, technically, allowed eight units. Staff was recommending, along with the Planning Commission,
that the General Plan be amended to the medium-high density and rezone the property to R-3-P-22 which
would allow six units maximum.
There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was declared closed.
Councilmember Fox stated that due to the Resource Conservation Commission vote and the letter from the
Chula Vista Elementary School District he was not prepared to vote on the item. He questioned why the
area was singled out when there were similar areas. He preferred to wait until the Source Point Study was
completed.
Mr. Lee stated it was his understanding that one of the property owners had requested that Council proceed
with the area. Council then directed staff to proceed.
Mayor Pro Tem Rindone stated staff indicated the School District was comfortable due to the commitment
the City had made to the Source Point Study. It was at Council's request, in response to a constituent, to
address the issue because of the minimal or insignificant impact.
ORDINANCE 2.573 pLACRB ON FIRST READING AND RESOLUTION 17273 O~'~'M/ED BY MAYOR PRO TEM
RINDONE, reading of the text was waived.
Councilmember Hotton agreed that the short term effect would not be significant. Due to the economic
climate she did not feel there would be a large number of permits approve&
Mayor Pro Tem Rindone felt the area had been held hostage for a long time. There needed to be a balance
of community needs.

City Manager Goss stated he was aware of the problems the schools were having with overcrowding in the
I-5 corridor and that the next bank of schools were under capacity. He questioned whether the planning
staff at the Elementary School District were doing any studies regarding the redrawing of school boundaries
to create a better balance.
Mr. Leiter stated that one of the outcomes of the Source Point Study, once long term growth projections for
the western area were done, would be that the District would be doing some evaluation of attendance area
boundaries and looking at ways to adjust their capacities west of 1-805. Any action on that property in the
future, when Council took action as a result of the Source Point Study, would apply to the property even
if a rezone occurred. The only effect would be on projects built between now and when the Source Point
Study was completed and implemented. Staff did not feel that would be significant.
Councilmember Fox stated after reviewing the information, the two subareas had been held hostage due to
the inconsistencies between the General Plan and zoning. It was a tough issue for him to deal with and his
initial concern was that it was the western part of the City. The zone did allow, in both areas, an R-3 type
of zoning situation and action by Council that would make it consistent with both the General Plan and
zoning. The property owners had an extra burden that others had not had and he felt that had to be
weighed. The City was on track with the Study and he requested that as a condition for his support, he
receive monthly update reports as to the progress of the Source Point Study. In light of the inconsistencies
and extra burdens on the property owners, he would support the staff recommendation reluctantly.

13. PUBLIC HEARING COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY SIRATEGY (CHAS) - The
National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 requires all jurisdictions applying for funding from the Department
of Housing and Urban Development to submit a CHAS. The CHAS is a planning document which identifies
the city's housing needs and outlines a strategy to meet these needs. Staff recommends Council continue

ORAL COMIVIUNICATIONS
· Joseph W. Garcia, 484 Fifth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, stated he felt the Solid Waste Agreement was
a very big issue with far reaching ramifications and should be agendized for public comments or be the topic
of a town hall meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Rindone stated Council shared Mr, Garcia's comments regarding the seriousness and impacts
upon the citizens of the community. The Council had been adamant about trying to obtain lower rates and
a reduction of the tipping fee. Council would support whatever system proved to be the most cost effective.
He felt the issue should be agendized at least monthly until there was a resolution to the problem.
Councilmember Fox thanked Mr. Garcia for his input and felt the public energies should also be put where
the decisions were made, i.e. the Interim Commission and County Board of Supervisors meetings.
· Joelie Mohr, 580 "D" Street #E, Chula Vista, CA, expressed concern regarding the Chula Vista Police .,)
Department not enforcing California Penal Code 273.6. She had been informed by the Police DeparUnent
that they could not enforce her Court Ordered Divorce Decree restrictions regarding visitation rights of her

ex-husband. The Police Department informed her they only enforced restraining orders. If the Police
Department had any other alternatives or suggestions she was willing to sit down with them to review those.
Councilmember Fox stated that because the item was under Oral Communications Council could not take
formal action.
Mayor Pro Tem Kindone stated Council would have a member of staff advise Ms. Mohr what legal services
could and could not be provided. If there was no satisfaction after that it could be brought back to Council.
