Notwithstanding any provisions of the Chula Vista Municipal Code to the contrary, "guest houses" may not be constructed within the City after July 23, 1985.

SECTION VIII: Pursuant to Section 311 of the Chula Vista City Charter, the City Council hereby declares that this ordinance shall be effective immediately as an emergency ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it is necessary for this ordinance to take effect immediately to preserve the public peace, health or safety for the following reasons: Guest houses pursuant to the Chula Vista Municipal Code are permitted in areas that are limited to single family and/or duplex residences. The addition of a guest house in these residential areas constitutes an increase in density and a weakening of the single family character thus destroying the public peace. The prohibition contained in the Chula Vista Municipal Code relating to the renting of guest houses is nearly impossible for the staff of the City to enforce. The renting of guest houses in single family neighborhoods leads to permanent tenants who contribute additional noise and traffic problems which further erode the public's peace, health and safety. The staff of the Chula Vista Planning Department has not had an opportunity to adequately review and report on the impact that said guest houses ultimately have on single family residences. The adoption of this emergency ordinance will maintain the status quo until such time as the report is presented to the Council. Presented and Approved as to form by Charles R.
