PUBLIC HEARING: PCZ-89-F - Consideration to rezone 0.59 acres located on the northerly side of "D" Street, between Las Flores Drive and Minot Avenue, from R-1 to R-2-P Frank Balistrieri/City of Chula Vista A. BACKGROUND 1. This item involves the rezonin§ of a portion of five parcels located on the northerly side of "D" Street, between Las Flores Drive and Minot Avenue, from R-1 (single-family) to R-2-P (two family/precise plan). The request has been privately initiated for the most westerly parcel, and City staff has expanded the proposal to include the four adjacent parcels to the east. 2. The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that the proposal is exempt from environmental review. B. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a motion recommending that the City Council enact an ordinance to change the zone on 0.59 acres from R-1 to R-2-P as shown on Exhibit A. C. DISCUSSION Adjacent zonin~ and land use. North R-1 Single Family South R-2-P Single & Two Family East R-1 Single Family West R-1 Vacant Existin~ site characteristics. The 0.59 acres represents the northerly portion of five parcels which are presently split-zoned between R-2-P on the south and R-1 on the north. Topographically, the properties rise in elevation from south to north and from west to east. The most westerly parcel is vacant. The other four parcels contain single and two-family dwellings. General plan. The General Plan designates the area for Medium Density Residential (4-12 du/ac). Both the existing R-1 and proposed R-2-P zones are consistent with this designation. City Planning Commission Agenda Items for Meeting of March 8, 1989 Page D. ANALYSIS The zone boundary in question has been in existence at least since 1949. At that time, the boundary followed the property line between two lots--the 0.59 acres in question was a single, long R-1 lot which extended between Las Flores Drive and Minot Avenue, and all of the property south to "D" Street was a single, large R-2 lot. In the interim, the two lots were combined and divided from north to south into smaller parcels, split by the zone boundary, as they are today. The rezoning would adjust the zone boundary northward to again conform wi th the property lines, and thereby rezone the northerly portions of the parcels consistent with the predominant R-2-P zoning on the balance of the parcels. In terms of density, the rezoning would increase somewhat the potential yield on all of the developed lots, and would also specifically allow for the construction of two units rather than one unit on the westerly, vacant Balistrieri parcel. The rezoning would increase somewhat the R-2 interface with R-1 properties directly to the west and east of the proposal area. The incursion is modest, however, and should not result in any conflict with the single family areas. Also, the precise plan requirement was specifically added to this R-2 neighborhood in recognition of the general R-l/R-2 interface, and to thereby ensure a more sensitive and qualitative approach than is normally associated with duplex development. For these reasons, we recommend approval of the rezoning.

PROJECT ARI LOCATOR JEI~vI cC:::::: .~'T'AT I C~lkJ City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of March 8, 1989 3. PUBLIC HEARING: PCA-89-4: Consideration of amendment to the Municipal Code to clarify the provisions relatin~ to the storage and repair of inoperable vehicles - City initiated A. BACKGROUND City Code Enforcement officials have experienced a problem with the wording of Section 19.58.260 of the City Municipal Ordinance relating to inoperable vehicles making enforcement of its intent difficult. One of the goals is to make the storage of inoperable vehicles illegal. However, the statute states that if a person is storing inoperable vehicles, repair is not allowed. Section 19.58.260(A) states that repair is prohibited unless a number of conditions are met; those conditions include that not more than one vehicle can be in a state of disrepair at any one time on any lot. Therefore, a person charged with this section can successfully take a position that many inoperable vehicles exist on the yard, which can not be repaired, because repair is prohibited. To address this problem, the ordinance is proposed to be amended to remove the ambiguous language and add a new Subsection "C" which clearly regulates the storage of inoperable vehicles as follows: C. Storage of Inoperable Vehicles. 1. No more than one vehicle, or one boat, or one camper, or one -- trailer shall be in a state of disrepair or in an inoperable condition at any one time on any lot. 2. No vehicle in a state of disrepair or in an inoperable condition -- may be located outside of a garage or carport or solid fence, gate or wall, not less than six feet in height for a period of more than 72 hours. 3. No parts of a vehicle, boat, camper or trailer shall be located outside of a ~arage, carport or solid fence, 9ate or wall not less than six feet in height for a period of more than 72 hours. The proposed amendment is exempt from environmental review under the provisions of Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines. B. RECOMblENDATION Adopt a motion recommending that the City Council enact an amendment to the Municipal Code to clarify the provisions relating to the storage and repair of inoperable vehicles as shown in Exhibit A. WPC 5969P EXHIBIT A Chapter 19.58 USES 19.58.260 Repair and storage of vehicles. A. Repair, except as stated in Paragraph B, of motorcycles, motor trucks and motor vehicles, as defined in the Vehicle Code of the State of California, as well as boats, campers, and trailers is prohibited in any residential zone unless all of the following conditions are met: 1. Repair (except as stated in Paragraph B) of vehicles, boats, campers and trailers shall be conducted within a garage or carport or behind a solid fence, gate or wall not less than six feet in height; ¢~l/~tl~ltdda~/dd~l~lll/de/l~l/a/l~ 6~//~f~d~%~l/~l~/a/l~A6~l/~$~l/~ ~/~/~i~/~/~/l~ 2.No repair of vehicles, boats, campers and trailers shall be conducted as a business; ~6I~I~I~/~I~I~HI6tI~HI~ ~1~1~1~1~1~1~1~1~ ~/W~/~/l~//~W~//~/~/~//~i~ 3.

Nothing in this section is intended to prohibit the making of minor repairs, such as tire changing or repair, replacement of spark plugs and minor engine adjustments or repair, lubrication, battery and brake adjustments or repair by an owner on the vehicle on said owner's lot, where said vehicle may be legally parked as detemined by other sections of this code.

PCS-84-1; Consideration of request for extension of tentative subdivision map for Eucalyptus Grove, Chula Vista Tract 84-1 Stafford Gardner Development A. BACKGROUND The City Council approved PCS-84-1 on January 17, 1984, and the Planning Commission subsequently granted a two-year extension to January 17, 1989. The map involves a two-lot condominium project consisting of 376 dwelling units on 17.59 acres located at the northwesterly and northeasterly intersection of "E" and Flower Streets. The request is for a one-year extension because of difficulties in coordinating the submittal of the final map among several lenders. B. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a motion approving an extension of Eucalyptus Grove, Chula Vista Tract 84-1, to January 17, 1990. C. DISCUSSION The project has been constructed and all of the units are now functioning as apartment units. The developers were granted a density bonus in return for an agreement to reserve 30% of the units for lease to low and moderate income households for a period of ten years. The approval of a map extension or final map will not affect this agreement. D. ANALYSIS The project is completed and thus the circumstances of the site in relation to the surrounding area will not change. For this reason, we are recommending approval of the request. It should be noted that the map cannot be extended beyond January 17, 1990, and therefore will expire unless a final map is approved by that date. It should also be noted that the subdivider remains responsible for the payment of Park Acquisition and Development fees; the amount to be determined by the fees in effect when the final map is approved.

PCS-85-5; Consideration of request for extension of tentative s~lbdivision map for Las Brisas Del Mar, Chula Vista Tract 85-5 Nasland Engineering A. BACKGROUND The City Council approved PCS-85-5 on February 4, 1986. The map involves 2.34 acres located between Third Avenue extended and Del Mar Avenue, north of "C" Street and just south of the Sweetwater Industrial Park. The property is zoned R-1 single family. The map divides the property into five lots. Four of the lots are standard single-family parcels to be served by a private drive off Del Mar Avenue. The fifth lot, called Unit 2, is approximately 1.5 acres, with access from "C" Street via Third Avenue extended. This larger lot has been the subject of two unsuccessful rezonin9 applications in recent months. The request is for a one-year extension because of difficulties in acquiring a necessary sewer easement. B. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a motion approving an extension of Las Brisas Del Mar, Chula Vista Tract 85-5, to February 4, 1992. C. DISCUSSION A tentative map approval is valid for three years, at which time a final map must be filed or an extension granted; otherwise the map expires and a new tentative map must be filed and processed. A request for extension automatically extends the map for 60 days, or until an extension is granted, whichever occurs first. A tentative map may be extended in total for no more than three years. D. ANALYSIS The four standard single family lots are at the same elevation as adjacent single-family development on Del Mar Avenue and Bayview Way. The larger lot is 60-70 ft. lower in elevation, adjacent to the industrial park to the north and mobilehome park to the west. This area was retained as a single parcel in anticipation of a rezoning to a higher residential density. City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of March 8, 1989 Page 2 Two applications to increase the density on the larger lot have been unsuccessful. This does not, however, effect the original findings for approval of the map. The standard single-family lots at the higher elevation are consistent with surrounding single-family dwellings and will take access from Del Mar Avenue. The larger lot at the lower elevation may or may not be further subdivided, but is logically limited by access via Third Avenue extended as indicated on the approved map. For these reasons we are recommending that the Commission grant a one-year extension. The original conditions of approval would continue to apply as follows: 1. The developer shall be responsible for the construction of a modified knuckle at the intersection of Bayview and Del Mar Avenue in accordance with Chula Vista Design Standard (6) in conjunction with the development of units as shown on the Tentative Map. Said construction shall include, but not be limited to: A.C. pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk, relocation of an existing storm drain inlet, and a driveway approach in accordance with CVCS 1. 2. The structural section of the private driveway shall be designed to meet flexible pavement structural design based on "R" values and a minimum traffic index of 4. All onsite paving including parking areas except those within carports will be inspected by the Engineering Department. The design of the structural .section shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Public Works/City Engineer. Private drive construction is subject to standard design review and inspection fees. 3. Third Avenue shall be maintained at an elevation of not less than 1.5 feet below the 100 year flood elevation to allow emergency access during periods of flooding. This condition applies only to Unit 2 as shown on the Tentative Map. 4. A letter of permission from the owner of the land containing the proposed channel shall be obtained in order to drain the property to Glover Street as proposed. 5. In conjunction with the development of Unit 2, the developer shall be responsible for the improvement of Third Avenue as shown on the Tentative Map. Said improvement shall include, but not be limited to: A.C. pavement and base, monolithic curb, gutter and sidewalk, fire hydrants, street lights, drainage facilities, and construction of retaining walls. 6. The developer shall be responsible for the relocation of the existing F.H. on the northeast corner of "C" Street and the proposed Third Avenue in conjunction with the development of Unit 2 as shown on the Tentative Map. City Planning Co~mission Agenda Item for Meeting of March 8, 1989 Page 3 7. The access drive off Del Mar Avenue and Bayview Way shall be a minimum of 22' wide in order to provide adequate access for fire equipment. 8. Lots 1 through 4 (Unit No. 1) shall comply with the Panhandle lot provisions of Section 19.22.150 of the Municipal Code. 9. A copy of the CC&R's shall be submitted prior to the approval of the Final Map. Said CC&R's shall include the following: (a) The installation of T.V. or radio antennas shall be prohibited. (b) No garage conversions shall be permitted. (c) Statement regarding City participation and enforcement rights in accordance with Section 18.44.010 of the Municipal Code. 10. Prior to the approval of the final map, and in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, the City shall receive from the developer a metes and bounds open space easement covering Unit No. 2 which shall preclude development of that Unit until the Sweetwater Flood Control Channel is graded to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The easement shall include an agreement by the City to extinguish the easement by quitclaim deed to the developer at the completion of the channel. The easement and agreement shall be recorded prior to the recordation of Unit No. 2. ll. Note 21 on the tentative map shall be revised to explicitly state that no development of Unit No. 2 shall occur until the Sweetwater Flood Control Channel is graded. 12. The developer shall take such actions as deemed necessary by the Director of Planning and City Engineer to insure that adequate noise mitigation is provided for this development. It should be noted that the map cannot be extended beyond February 4, 1992, and will therefore expire unless a final map is approved by that date. It should also be noted that the subdivider remains responsible for the payment of park acquisition and development fees, and those will be the fees in effect when the final map is approved.
