ITEM TITLE:
Meeting Date
Resolution I033(J - Ordering the "L" Street/Church of Christ
Reorganization.
11/25/80
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning,~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No~)
On April 9, 1979 the City received an appl ication from the Chula Vista Church of Christ,
470 "L" Street, for a reorganization to the City of Chula Vista of 3.53 acres of property
located on the south side of "L" Street 'between Fourth and Fifth Avenues. Council has
not yet initiated proceedings because of the pending agreement with the County 6n the
transfer of property tax pursuant to AB-8. In accordance with the Government Code this
proposal will be abandoned unless Council completes proceedings before April 7, 1981.
Therefore, it is my
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
Adopt a resolution ordering the "L" Street/Church of Christ Reorganization involving
annexation to the City of Chula Vista and detachment from the Montgomery Sanitation
District, the Montgomery Fire Protection District and the San Diego County Flood Control
District - Zone 3.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
1. The applicant is requesting annexation to the City in order to obtain a higher level
of pOlice and fire protection, and comprehensive city services for the church property.
In addition, the applicant proposes the future construction of a new church wing to
accommodate a fellowship auditorium and six classrooms, and the upgrading of existing
parking areas and landscaping. The proposal area is shown on Exhibit A.
2. Prezoning
On October 26, 1976 the City Council adopted ordinance No. 1709 prezoning the territory
from R-3-G-P to R-3-P-14. This zoning classification was found to be in substantial
conformance with the General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential (4-12 Du/ac).
3. Environmental Review
On August 26, 1976 the Environmental Review Committee conducted the Initial Study
(IS-76-63) of possible adverse environmental impacts of the above mentioned prezoning
project. The committee concluded that there would be no significant effects and made a
draft Negative Declaration which was certified by the Planning Commission on September 13,
1976 and by the City Council on October 26, 1976 as part of Ordinance No. 1709. Although
the subject reorganization was not considered under IS-76-63, the Environmental Review
Committee at its meeting,of October 30, 1980, reviewed the previously adopted Negative
Declaration and found it to be applicable to the proposed "L" Street/Church of Christ
Reorganization.
4. LAFCO Action
At their meeting of April 7, 1980 LAFCO adopted a resolution approving the subject
reorganization and authorized the City of Chula Vista to initiate reorganization

proceedings in compliance with Government Code Section 56430 et seq. and their resolution,
without notice and hearing and without an election. Staff has not brought this item to
Council earlier to i,nitiate proceedings because to date the City and the County Board of
Supervisors have not reached an agreement on the transfer of property tax pursuant to
AB-8. However, the amount of tax revenue generated by the subject property is very small
and the matter has been pending for some time. The expansion of the city boundary which
will result from the reorganization is a logical one. City services can readily be
provided to the area.
5. Proposed Abandonment
Section 54799.2 of the Government Code requires that a proposal for which proceedings
are not compl eted within one year after LAFCO approval must be considered "abandoned",
unless an extension of time has been requested and authorized by LAFCO. Accordingly,
this proposal will be deemed abandoned after April 7, 1981 if proceedings have not been
completed, or an extension of time'has not been granted.
LAFCO has informed staff that if the only reason for non-completion is agreement on the
property tax transfer, the City Council could adopt an ordering resolution which in effect
would complete proceedings. The Executive Officer could then withhold issuing a certifi-
cate of completion until the resolutions of agreement pursuant to AB-8 are received from
the City and County. Section 54799.2 would then not apply and abandonment of this
proposal would be avoided.
FISCAL IMPACT
This will be determined by the formula established for the exchange of property tax
revenues post annexation. Any impact will be very small.
