Page 3
Council as to a City position. Staff recommends Council take no position regarding the request and file the report.
(Director of planning)
Mayor Nader stated the staff recommendation was for the Council to not take a position on the County initiative.
His vote to approve staff recommendation did not imply support for the initiative, speaking as an individual he
planned to vot~ no on the initiative as it was poor planning to designate a specific landfill site at the behest of a
particular interest group that would benefit from the selection of the site.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
14.A. PUBLIC HEARING PCZ-91-D - CONSIDERATION OF PREZONING 14.23 ACRES LOCATED
NORTH OF THE TERMINUS OF MOONVIEW DRIVE FROM RR-I (COUNTY) TO RE-P (8.37 ACRES)
AND RE-40 (5.86 ACRES) - MICHAEL DEMICH - The item involves a prezone of 14.23 acres to the City's
RE-P and RE-40 zones, and the subdivision of 8.37 acres of the 14.23 acres into 12 residential and 2 open space
lots. The parcel to be subdivided is proposed to be prezoned to RE-P. Two adjoining parcels to the east owned
by the Sweetwater Authority are proposed to be prezoned to RE--40. All parcels are located north of the terminus
of Moonview Drive in the County of Sen Diego. Staff recommends Council place the ordinance on first reading
and approve the resolution. (Director of Planning)
B. PUBLIC HEARING PCS-91-02 - CONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR
BONITA HILLS EXECUTIVE ESTATES, TRACT PCS-91-02 - MICHAEL DEMICH
C. ORDINANCE 2607 PREZONING 14.23 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED NORTH OF THE
TERMINUS OF MOONVIEW DRIVE TO RE-P (8.37 ACRES) AND RE-40 (5.86 ACRES) (first reading)
D. RESOLUTION 17687 APPROVING THE TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR BONITA
HILLS EXECUTIVE ESTATES, TRACT PCS 91-02, MAK1NG THE NECESSARY FINDINGS AND
ADOPTING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND THE MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM FOR IS-91-15
Martin Miller, Associate Planner, gave a brief overview of the project.
Councilmember Horton questioned where the gate entries were located.
Minutes
October 11, 1994
Page 4
Mr. Miller responded the entry gate was at Moonview Drive and there was an additional gate on Randy Lane for
emergency access only. There would be no direct access to Bonita Road. Staff felt the gated community was
acceptable because: 1) there was no through access from Moonview Drive to Bonita Road; 2) the streets in the
subdivision would be constructed to private street standards and would be maintained by a homeowners association;
3) open space lots A and B and both Sweetwater parcels were considered environmentally sensitive and should not
be disturbed; and 4) no trail systems were proposed for the area, therefore, there was no need for pedestrian or
hiker access. The Planning Commission recommended Council adopt the resolution and ordinance.
William Ullrich, Senior Civil Engineer, reviewed the drainage issues. A letter had been received from Mr.
McGowan expressing his concern that the project would worsen an already existing problem of water drainage on
his property. The project had a small portion that would continue to drain towards Mr. McGowan's property. The
remainder of the portion that currently drained towards Mr. McGowan's property would be redirected and go
through a storm drain system and end up on Glen Abbey Boulevard. The calculations prepared by the engineer of
work indicated that there would be no increase in run--off from 100 year frequency storms. Staff felt then was no
nexus to require improvements in the County area. The Planning Commission wanted staff to write a letter to the
County indicating what the residents concerns in the area were and staff would be doing that.
Councilmember Fox questioned why a mitigated negative declaration was done rather than an environmental review.
Doug Reid, Environmental Review Coordinator, responded then was ample mitigation to avoid a significant impact
which was the conclusion of U.S. Fish & Wildlife and CA Fish & Game.
Councilmember Fox stated that Commissioner Fisher of the Resource Conservation Commission voted against the
mitigated negative declaration because there was no biological survey conducted.
Mr. Reid stated that a survey had been conducted and a revision prepared approximately one year after the initial
work was done. Mr. Fisher was indicating that he did not have the document in front of him. The biological
survey recommendations were included in the mitigated negative declaration and where applicable. Staff had gone
beyond the recommendations in the reports and added additional mitigation measures.
Councilmember Fox questioned if there would be a drainage problem on Glen Abbey.
Mr. Reid responded the impacts would not be exacerbated to a point that they would become significant and require
preparation of an EIR.
Mr. Ullrich stated he was uncertain whether there was an extreme problem there. It appeared that water would
pond and had been ponding. According to testimony of the residents of the area that had been happening.
Councilmember Horton stated the report indicated there would be approximately I/3 less run-off.
Mr. Ullrich responded that there would be a slight decrease. The 1/3 decrease was directly related to the area that
drained towards Mr. McGowan's property. The total project did drain towards Glen Abbey and, therefoR, the
water that reached the sump location in front of the retirement home would remain essentially the same.
Mayor Nader stated Council had received a letter from Fish & Game, dated 9/30/94, and questioned when that had
been received.
Mr. Reid responded that it was received on Thursday and staff reviewed it on Friday.
Mayor Nader stated it was helpful if Council received the information prior to the Council meeting. The letter
seemed to come to different conclusions than listed on the summary page of the report, i.e. concurrence of the
project by the Department was cunditioned on ......... It also indicated that the City had to identify who would be
the interim manager of the preserve property. He read the entire last page as the Department setting forth
conditions that they wanted met prior to their concurrence with the 4D permit.
Minutes
October 11, 1994
Page 5
Mr. Reid stated that was correct. Those conditions were being met. The interim manager would be selected by
the project applicant and the City would have the mitigation plans coordinator overseeing that for a five year period.
Staff was working with other agencies and jurisdictions regarding the 5 % take problem.
Mayor Nader questioned if the Department of Fish & Game had authority, if Council approved the staff
recommendation, to withhold approval.
Mr. Reid responded that if they were to withhold approval they would have to notify the City and within 60 days
tell the City how to modify the permit to bring it into compliance with the NCCP guidelines which was not what
they had done in the letter. The City had issued the draft permit and that was what they were responding to.
Robert Leiter, Director of Planning, stated it was staffs intent to require the designation of an interim manager.
It would be appropriate to add a condition to the action taken by Council that would state that for the record.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open.
· Greg Cox, 3130 Bonita Road, Suite 200, Chula Vista, CA, representing Bonita Hills Executive Estates,
stated the original submittal for the project was August 1990. The recommendations of CA Fish & Game were
consistent with the staff recommendations regarding mitigation. The applicant had planned to designate Southwest
Biological Services as the monitor for the mitigation program and they did not have a problem in including that in
the resolution. The following were the reasons for it being a gate guarded community: 1) they were going across
Sweetwater Authority property to get access to the site and one of the conditions of the Authority was that they did
not want to have open public access across the reservoir site; and 2) protection to sensitive habitat.
· Mike Demich, resident on Glen Abbey, stated he was aware of the drainage problems and noted only a
small mount of water came from the project site. His engineer stated there would be one cubic foot per second
less run off and drainage had been directed away from Mr. McGowan's property and his neighbor. They preferred
to have the project private. He submitted a letters from Lawrence & Gertrude Weisser, P. O. Box 26, Bonita, CA,
and Verne & Goldie May, 3365 Glen Abbey Road, Bonlta, CA, in support of the project and requesting that the
project be private. They felt it was a project that was good for the City.
Councilmember Horton questioned when they anticipated grading.
Mr. Demich responded that they needed to turn in the final grading plans for review. It would probably take
several months and they hoped to break ground in early spring.
· Dan Way, 180 Otey Lakes Road, Suite 100, Chula Vista, CA, felt they had met all the conditions requested
by the City and requested support of the project.
· Walt Self, 3394 Glen Abbey Road, Chula Vista, CA, stated he owned five acres adjacent to the project
and had never had a problem with water and he had never seen the water build up on Glenn Abbey. He had
reviewed the grading plan and was not in opposition to the project.
· Susan M. Snow, 3358 Glenn Abbey Boulevard, Chula Vista, CA, felt their properties would appreciate
and she supported the project.
· Shirley Weisser, 3408 Randy Lane, Chula Vista, CA, stated she lived on the adjacent property and
requested that the roads remain private with a locked gate. She submitted a letter from William A. Hersum, 3416
Randy Lane, Chula Vista, CA, requesting private roads and gates.
There being nn further public testimony, the public hearing was declared closed.
MSUC (Nader/Fox) to add a condition that would name Pacific Southwest Biological Services as interim
mitigation manager.

ORDINANCE 2607 PLACED ON FIRST READING AND RESOLUTION OFFERED BY
COUNCILMEMBER FOX, reading of the text was waived.
Mayor Nader stated he would vote for the motion as some of the concerns expressed in the letter by Fish & Game
were addressed in the motion adopted. He was conc.~rned that the Resource Conservation Commission had not
received biological survey information relevant to adoption of the mitigated negative declaration. He hol~:l in future
projects that all such relevant information, which was the basis for a staff recommendation or environmental
document, would be made available to the RCC in advance.
VOTE ON ORDINANCE 2607 AND RESOLUTION 17687: approved unanimously.

BOARD AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS

ACTION ITEMS
15.A. REPORT. LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDATION OF SOUTH V
CHULA VISTA LIBRARY AS THE NAME OF THE NEW LIBRARY BEING CONSTRUCTED AT 389
ORANGE AVENUE - On 9/28/94, the Library Board of Trustees voted to recommend the name South Chula Vista
Library as the name of the new library being constructed at 389 Orange Avenue. Staff recommends Council accept
the report. (Library Director)
B. REPORT LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDATION TO NAME THE
YOUNG ADULT ROOM AT THE NEW LIBRARY FOR ARTURO BARRIOS - On 9/28/94, the Library
Board of Trustees voted to recommend that the Young Adult Room at the new library be named in honor of Arturo
Barrios. Staff recommends Council accept the report. (Library Director)
· Peggy Donovan, Chair, Library Board of Trustees, reaffirmed their selection of South Chula Vista Library
as the official name of the new building at 4th and Orange Streets. She stated names of people had been carefully
considered and then discarded as libraries were not usually named after someone unless there was a large financial
gift involved. They then heard and discussed other suggestions and in the end returned to South Chula Vista
Library. The Board felt the name told where the facility was located, had an ethnic sensibility, and was the name
by which the facility had been identified since the decision to place it at Fourth and Orange.
Councilmember Rindone questioned how many names were included on the petition turned into the Library Director.
David Palmet, Library Director, responded the petition was in support of naming the library based on a hispanic
heritage with approximately 400 signatures. Upon review, not all of the sienatots lived in Chula Vista.
· Jorge Mario Cordon, 225 Palomar Street, #77, Chula Vista, CA, spoke in opposition to the staff
recommendation. He submitted petitions with over 500 signatures in support of Caesar Chavez. He felt it would
set a role model for the young people in the community. The designation of South Chula Vista Library split the
community, i.e. north, south, etc.
· Frank Saiz, 953 Chestnut Ct., Chula Vista, CA, spoke in opposition to the staff recommendation. He had ['~
been influenced by Caesar Chavez and made him believe that things could be changed through non-violent action.
Minutes
October 11, 1994
Page 7
He felt Caesar Chavez had changed the political culture of California and it was an opportunity to create a California
monument. They needed role models for children.
· Jose Luis Gomez, 709 Melrose Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, spoke in opposition to the staff recommendation.
The citizens had voted to support the name of Caesar Chavez and the Library Board had ignored that action and
had projected negative connotations regarding the rejection of the name. He resented the implication that people
had to buy their way in the world. He felt that was a wrong message to send to the youth. Caesar Chavez was
a 20th century leader. He urged Council to reevaluate the members of the Library Board for future positions.
· Bob Green, Box 819, Chula Vista, CA, stated the building did not look like spanish heritage and that the
color was out of proportion. He submitted a petition which stated they wanted the color changed and did not want
the library named Caesar Chavez. South Chula Vista Library indicated the location of the facility.
· Steve Palma, 176 Montgomery Street, Chula Vista, CA, representing the Otay Committee, stated their
petitions had requested a generic name for the library. He had originally supported Otay as South Chula Vista
seemed to separate the community. He no longer was opposed to the name Caesar Chavez. He stated he liked the
color of the library as it was an ethnic color. He felt the community should be heard and whatever Council decided
would be fmal. He was upset with many of the comments that had been made regarding the selection of the name.
· Bobby Lopez, 442 Montgomery Street, Chula Vista, CA, stated he worked with the youth in Otay and had
told them they should become involved and vote for the name of the library and they had voted for Caesar Chavez.
He questioned why it was done if Council was not going to acknowledge the time and effort made and the name
· Richard Fowler, 356 Moorehouse Place, Chula Vista, CA, stated he had coordinated the Neighborhood
Watch in the area and he did not fred anyone (including all minorities) that did not want the name of South Chula
Vista Library. He stated there was not a majority of hispanics or minorities in the area. The South Bay Nutrition
Center was also in favor of South Chula Vista Library. Their experience with the Library Board of Trustees had
been very satisfactory and he had not heard any complaints.
Mayor Nader stated the survey was designed in such a way that the results may/or may not have reflected the public
will. He did notice that the survey seemed to indicate that within the particular community there was strong support
for Caesar Chavez, but also that the name Otay appeared to edge out South Chula Vista. He questioned whether
that subject had been discussed.
Mr. Fowler stated it had been discussed, but South Chula Vista had far more support than any other name for the
library.
Councilmember Moore stated whatever name was selected it should bring those that lived, worked, and played in
that area together and not divide them. He felt the library represented the entire City and the pride should be for
the entire city. Therefore, he wanted to see a name that included the name of the Chula Vista.
Councilmember Rindone felt the big picture should be looked at, i.e. one name was not in competition with another.
The name should represent the entire community and not named after any one person. The survey was never
intended to be scientific, but an effort to try to poll various interests to obtain suggestions. He supported the name
of South Chula Vista Library as it was representative of the community which was not a defeat of any of the other
names suggested.
Councilmember Fox appreciated the comments made by the public. He felt Council would be justified in naming
the library after Caesar Chavez. Council could not ignore geography, ethnic composition of the City, etc. Mr.
Chavez was not just of member of an ethnic group but an American patriot and hero who made a difference for
those that did not have a voice and would be a solid role model. He felt the library should be named for the
children and it would bring recognition and prestige to the City and library. The name would honor the man, the
heritage, and what he stood for.
Minutes

Mayor Nader stated he was one of the few public officials in San Diego County that actually joined in the fast
initiated by Caesar Chavez several years ago in an attempt to draw attention to the use of pesticides on table grapes.
He felt Caesar Chavez was a great American and did a lot for all people in the country including Chula Vista. He
felt it would be appropriate to honor him, and others in that category, in some way within the City. With a great
deal of reluctance he was unable to vote to name the South Chula Vista Library after one individual as there were
a great number of Americans, of all ethnic backgrounds, that had made substantial contributions to American
society. He preferred to go with South Chula Vista Library and see a portion of the new library set aside and
specifically devoted to educating on what various role models of various ethnic backgrounds had done for the entire
society, inchiding Chula Vista. It should be education of the multi-cultural background of Southern California, the
contributions Americans of all backgrounds and all periods of American history had made to society, a place where
children could gain some better understanding of the types of constructive role models that would help them grow
up into the best citizens they could be. He hoped that would be taken back to the Library Board to be discussed
and incorporated into the planning for the new library. He felt Caesar Chavez would have agreed that was more
important than a name and was a real meaningful promotion of an understanding of cultural diversity and of the
diverse cultural heritage as Americans. The naming of the Youth Activities Room after Arturo Barrios was more
than just acknowledging that Mr. Barrios had arranged to contribute large amounts of money to youth programs in
the Chula Vista Library, although he had done that. Mr. Barlos had adopted Chula Vista as a community and had
used the race as a vehicle to raise funds for youth activities in the City. Therefore, he felt it appropriate to name
a room in the library after Mr. Barrios.
MSC (Rindone/Moore) to accept the report and staff recommendations of Items 15A and 15B. Approved 4-1
with Fox opposed.
MSUC CNader/Rindone) refer to staff and the Library Board of Trustees the concept of setting aside a portion
of the new library as a facility dedicated to education on multi-cultucal American heritage.
16. REPORT UPDATE ON SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL ISSUES - An oral report will be
given by staff. No report was given.
17. REPORT UPDATE ON REGIONAL SEWER ISSUES - An oral report will be given
by staff.
John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, stated that Congress had adopted HR Resolution 5176 which would allow
San Diego to apply for a waiver to keep Point Loma at advanced primary treatment. He then reviewed the
conditions attached to the Resolution. Staff would review the Resolution and report back to Council on the impacts
on Chula Vista.
Cotmcilmember Moore stated the Act needed to be changed regarding the time limitation on waivers. He felt more
people should be involved other than just the City of San Diego.
Mayor Nader stated if Councilmembes Moore was suggesting that there was not a completely coordinated regional
effort on the legislation he would agree. He would like to see that happen.

b. Mr. Goss stated the City was lucky to even have the discussion regarding the naming of the library. He
complimented David Palmet, Rosemary Lane, Council, Library Board of Trustees, and his office for writing the
best application to get the money for the library. That application had been used as a prototype for other library
applications. Chula Vista had been approved in the first round of top five for funding and had received nearly 10 %
of the entire bond issue passed in 1988. He felt once the library was done the City would be very proud of a
resource for the entire City.
