This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open. There being no public testimony, the public hearing was closed. RESOLUTION 1340 OI"P'ERED BY AGENCY/VlEMBER FOX, reading of the text was waived, passed, and approved unanimously. Public Hearings for items 7A through 7F: (continued from the meeting of June 22, 1993). Public hearings, items 7A through 7E, were considered as one item. Fred Kassman, Redevelopment Coordinator, stated there were errors in the resolutions in that the addresses given were incorrect. In Resolution 1337, the correct address for County Auto Pool should be 880 Energy Way and not 811 Energy - Way. Also, in all the resolutions, Section 4A under the "Whereas" clause, it should be stricken since it was ) either redundant or contradictory to Section 3. Written communications had been received from: - Robert Gunthorp, on behalf of Onager Corporation (Mary and Robert Gunthrop) located at 789 Energy Way; ~ Peterson & Ptice, Attorneys at Law, on behalf of County Auto Pool (June and Jim McCormack) located at 880 Energy Way. Member Fox asked what the logic was for having the special land use permit approved for thirteen years? Mr. Kassman responded that it came from a settlement agreement that occurred with several of the auto wceckers. In reference to the Otay Valley Road Assessment District project, they were allowed thirteen years. In order to maintain consistency with that agreement, staff was recommending thirteen years for those operators as well. Chairman Nader declared the public hearing opened for items 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, and 7E. Rebecca Michael, 530 B Street, Chula Vista, speaking on behalf of June and Jim McCormack for item 7E, stated that June and Jim McCormack had sold their business called County Auto Pool. At the time they submitted their application, they owned the business. However, they would like the application to reflect June and Jim McCormack. She also stated the resolution addressed auto auctioning, but with the proviso that auto auction be within the limitation of a zoning ordinance amendment which would be before Council sometime in the Fall. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, staff would be bringing forth a text amendment; the initial proposal would be just for lien sale auctions. They asked the Planning Commission to broaden the definition of auctions to include vehicles and equipment. The McCormacks primarily auction RDA MINDTES July 13, 1993 Page 3 off autos, but at times they auction off heavy equipment and office equipment. She would like the resolution to be amended to eliminate the word, "auto" or "automobile," before the word auction. It would still result in the paragraph that limited whatever types of auctions which would be adopted by Council in the Fall. Mr. Boogaard asked Ms. Michael if she wanted to change Section 2, subparagraph 3, "auto auctioning" to just read "auctioning." Ms. Michael responded that auto auctioning appeared throughout the "whereas clauses." She was not sure if she caught all of them. When the resolution indicated auctioning, it had in front of it, "auto auctioning; she would like the word, "auto," deleted. That would leave paragraph 5 of the resolution which restricted the type of auctions to those that would be permitted pursuant to the zoning text amendment which could be broader than autos, they were asking that it be vehicles and heavy equipment. Member Rindone suggested that it be the specific items that she was suggesting; not just auctions. She could be auctioning of stamps, rifles, etc. Ms. Michael stated that was raised by the Planning Commission when the issue of the text amendment was discussed. The text amendment would come before the Council and would define what auctions could be permitted. That was why she was asking that the resolution not be drafted to make it restrictive. Instead, let the resolution reflect what the text amendment would be. She stated the McCormacks had basically auctioned vehicles; however, they had upon occasion auctioned off farm equipment and office equipment. There being no further response from the public, the public hearing was closed. Member Rindone asked the City Attorney for a recommendation on the wording. Mr. Boogaard responded that he did not have a problem with the idea that the City could control the type of auctioning at the time the zoning text amendment was granted. If the Council wished to control the type of auctions which could occur between now and the time the text amendment was acted upon and if rejected thereafter, he suggested that in paragraph S, which controlled the land use between now and then, the Council might wish to say vehicular and/or equipment auction use should be discontinued within six months. Ms. Michael stated they would agree with the recommendation by the City Attorney. KESOLUTION NOS 1333, 1334, 133S, 1336, AND 1337 AS AMENDED BY THE CITY ATro~ ALONG W~TH THE CORRECTIONS BY MR. KASSMAN, OFFERF3D BY MEMBER RINDONE, reading of the text was waived. Member Moore asked if there was something which needed to be changed besides paragraph 5. Mr. Boogaard responded that throughout the resolution wherever auto preceded the word auction. Member Moore stated that paragraph 4, section 2 stated the applicant was currently holding a~to auctions. Mr. Boogaard stated he would delete auto in that section since they wee holding other types of auctions. VOTE ON RESOLUTIONS: approved unanimously. 7A.
