REZONING - PUBLIC HEARING: (Cont'd) Southeast Corner Bonita Road and Sandalwood
Drive - Shell Oil Company and Frank Ferreira - R-3-D to C-1
Director of Planning Warren submitted a plot plan noting the location of the
proposed rezoning and the adjacent land use. He reviewed the matter whereby ~he
applicants are requesting rezonlng primarily for a gasollne service stat~on. At
the previous meeting, the Commission continued the matter in order to obtain a firm
statement from the Division of Highways concerning the preci:se location of the
Freeway, access ramps and frontage roads~ Mr. Warre~ stated he has received a
letter signed by E. R~ Settle, Assistant District Engi~eer~ Divisio~ of h~ghways,
and a map delineating the alignment of Route 805 and the ramp tecationso They pein[
out that the frontage road, as shown (connecting Vista Drive
subject to change.
Director Warren then noted the areas designated as tour~stic~mmercial zoning. He
discussed the uses allowed in this zone and pointed o~t the sta~f'~ recommendation
for the areas to be zoned T-C at this intersection - approximately l~ acres.
Member Vaden questioned the commercial acreage delineated nor:he~st of the inter-
change on the General Plan. Mr. Warren stated they show about 20 acres; however,
there has been no attempt to define a specific amount o~ zoning; it merely suggests
an area of use.
This being the time and place as advertised, the continued pubiic hear;~g was
reopened.
Mr~ Frank Ferrelra, 3715 Putter Drive, Bonita, showed a rendering of the proposed
service station. He discussed the exterior construction of the proposed buildiag
stating it will be one of the finest in San D~ego County~ M~. Ferrelra 'added that
they feel there is a great potential in the Valley - it could become another Miss:on
Valley. He then discussed his plans for ~he area south of this parcel stating he
-I-
plans to build some iow-density multiple units which could ~¢rve ~ e buffer between
the residential and the commerciaJo Th~s area ]s ~n the u~ioue po~it!o,r~ o~ being
able to be seen at least a mile down the Freeway. A deve~opme,;t here could be
Town & Country type whereby it could be converted to a mot:e~
ditions would warrant the change. Mr. Ferre~re declared t!~e ;ivi$ioa of ~;!ghway$
does not have a conventional interchange here - ~t is ~ di~mo';J ~nte~ch~ge w~ich
]s s~bject to further refinement. ~e spoke again of the del~¥ re w~z p~ t~rough
by the Division of Highways sometime ago, and their pr~mise row to w:~rk with him
any development. Mr. Ferreira then discussed the proposed convalescent home to the
east of this area declaring that this was a commercial e~te~prise wkiich may ~,eve
trucks coming and going 24 hours a day. Mr. Ferre]re the~ ~efer:rf,d t~ his petition
which he presented at the last meeting signed by aojace~,,t prope~'ty owr~ers favoring
th~s request. He commented that the distance betweee this proposed service station
and the convalescent home would be approximately 150 ~ 200 feet and the ~osd betweeq
these sites will be paved and dedicated.
Mr. Ray PowerS, 48]3 Bancroft ~rive, La Mesa~ C~i~for~,,i~ ~epreser~'~g S~.e~l 0~1
Company, spoke of the construction of the service station commeqti~g th:t it wi,] be
the most "sophisticated" stat~om in the Couhty. T~ere w~l] be adequate ~!er~dscaplng
with a sprinkler system installed, and a fence wi!! be erected et tFe rear of the
property in order to act as a screen to the resJdentlal ~rea. He dec,iaree this type
of business was not obnoxious in any residential area.
There being no further comment, either for or against, the hearing wa~ deck,zed
closed.
Member Vaden d~scussed the proposed tour~st-commerciai zoning in ~k, is area, and
commented that, as an individual, he felt Jt wouJd r;ot be ~n the best zoning
practice to rezone this parcel for a service ~;tation site, s~ce the: convalescent
home doesn't seem to be situated proper~y with this type of propozed zot!~g. Ele
added that the Commission wou]d be wrong in not recommendir~g the re!ocat!o~ oF th~s
convalescent home.
Chairman Stevenson commenting on a buffer zone, remarked tr;az ~partment~ would serve
as a better buffer between residential and the tour~st-commerciai tk~ the service
station would.
Member Vaden spoke highly of the tourist-commercial zone proposed For this area
indicating that the Commission should g~ve this a lot oF t~oug~c ;;i~ce it would
"put Chuia Vista on the mapo'~
[he Commission discussed the County zoning in this area. MT. Warrec stated !t wes
presently zoned for singJe-family resldential~ foweve,, ~fte~ the freeway is
constructed, it could go to commercia! devefopme~t. ~e saiid ~e Jiccu:ssed w~t~ the
applicant the possibility of relocating the service scat~o~ to the co;~va~escent
home site and vice versa. Vice-Chairman Stewart felt chis home skoa~d be on the
perimeter of the tourist-commercial zone and not within it. He asked ~f any
negotiations had been made. Mr. Ferreira stated he has ~ot ~uggesxed relocation to
the owners of the proposed convalescent home as yet; presently, they are hav[ng
engineering problems and it would be to their advantage to relocate either to the
south or to the west.
Jhe Commission then discussed the proposed frontage ro~d~ Member Johnson remarked
that ~e would have less objection to the request if the frort~ge road was defiqitely
established. Director Warren commented that the Commission m~y be putting too much
significance on this frontage road - the service statio~ ]s mo;e related to off-
ramp than a frontage road would be that will just be carrying local traffic, Che
- definite location of the frontage road will be up to the property owner affected
and the City. Mr. Ferrelra stated he could definitely assure the Commission that
this road would be brought in as he proposes ito
Member Adams spoke of the proposed convalescent home ~n this area stating these
places are not quiet places - quite a bit of activity is going on inside and outside.
The Highway construction is another three to four years off and plan~i~g for the
adjacent commercial development should probably not proceed any earlier than I year
before construction takes place~ Member Adams felt a good many m~stakes could be
made by granting a small patch of commercial zoning at this partlcul~r time.
Mr. Ferreira claimed the topography on the staff-proposed tourist-commerclai area
varied by about 60 feet which would make a poor tourist-commercial area~ Mr.Warren
indicated there would be a change in topography and grading would be necessary
which would occur regardless of this applicant's request. The question is should
we reserve 8, l0 or 20 acres here; when and where should it be?
Vice-Chairman Stewart commented that he would feel better about the matter if the
frontage road were definitely established. Mr. Ferreira noted the area he proposes
for the frontage road stating the Commission can condition the rezoning on this~
if they wish. He added that he has an option on most of that are~ in the County
designated to tourist-commercial development. He would l~ke to start development
soon on the Town and Country project so that the landscaping wil1 be mature when
the freeway goes through.
- Director Warren cautioned the Commission against rezon~ng any large acreage for
commercial in this area before the tourist-commercial zoning ~s created; otherwise,
proper controls were not available.
Member Guyer questioned the applicant about any possible object,on to having the
"D" zone attached. Mr. Ferrelra stated he would be happy to have
The Commission discussed the frontage road. City Attorney L[ndberg stated it would
be d(fficult to impose a condition upon the applicant to provide this road ~nasmuch
as it is on property other than that covered by the zone change or conditional use
permit request.
Member Adams commented that when the convalescent home goes in, the~ the street would
have to be improved, and this would insure the road going in. The only thing under
consideration now is the extension of the road to provide access to the proposed
service station site. According to the City Attorney, to impose a condition whereby
the applicant must now provide this frontage road wouid not be a reasonable one.
Member Guyer suggested the applicant talk to the owners of the proposed convalescent
home to try to arrange some sort of negotiation whereby they would relocate their
proposed hospita] to the site of the proposed service statlon~ Th~s would serve as
a much better buffer between the residential and tourist-commercial.
Member Adams felt they needed a little more ~ime to digest al~ this information, and
suggested the matter be continued until the next meeting.

Member Johnson asked for the staff's comments o~ the t~ur~st-commercia~ acreage
in this area. Director Warren stated it can take on a~y number of acres - the
plan submitted tonight is a conservative estimate; at this part~cdlsr time,
circumstances are not well enough defined for precise pJan~]ng. Tile traffic
generated on this Freeway will be, to a large extent~ the traffic from San D]ego
to Tijuana~ Vice-Chairman Stewart said the demand here will co:~tro! the amount of
rezoning that should take place here~
Mr. Dennis Wittman, Engineer for the convalescent home project~ stated there is some
urgency in the development of the proposed home, and any delay would hold his men
up on this project.
MSUC (Adams-Johnson) Matter be continued to the meeting of April 4~ J966 in order
that the applicant meet with the owners of the proposed convalescent home east of
this area in order to investigate the possibility of moving their proposed project
to another site to eliminate a conflict with a pote~tla! ~odr~st.-co~merc~J area.
CONDiTiONAL USE PERMIT - PUBLIC HEARING: (Cont'd) Sheil Oil Compar:~ a~d Frank Ferreira

MSUC (Stewart-Guyer) Hearin9 be continued until the meetin9 of April 4, ~966.
VARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING: Frank L, Whlttin9ton - 290 '"K" Street R-3 Use on
R-i P,roperty
The application was read in which permission was asked to construct a 25 u~it
apartment complex and a reduction in front setback from 25 feet to 15 feet°
Director of Planning Warren submitted a plot plan ~oti~g the location, adjacent
land use and zoning. He explained the applicant's multiple family development to
the east is at a density of 1 unit per 4000 square feet~ [he proposed epartme~t
building will be two-story construction. The Commission m~y reca]~ sometime ago
considering a request for 27 units on this site; that pla~o provided parki~:g a~d
access on the site. The applicant's plan contemplates an easemen: or: adjacent
property to the west for access to his development~
Mr. Kenneth Lee, Junior Planner, discussed several alternate concepts of developI
ment ranging in density from 20 to 25 units. To provide the ope~t, space requested
by the staff, the applicant will have his access drive o~ adjacent property. For
purposes of calculating density, he will now have 120~ x 290' or 34,800 square feet
which wil! give him a density of 1 unit per 1400 square feet of la~d area. Mr. Lee
said he felt that 25 units on this property can now be worked out w]th 38 parking
spaces and sti]l assure adequate usable open space~
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was opened.
Mr~ Frank L~ Whittington, 697 Third Avenue, the applicant, d~scussed a proposal
whereby he will be grading out an area in the back of his apartments on the east,
for storage purposes - cars, boats, etc., and this space can also be used by the
residents of this proposed apartment buildJng. Mr. Whittington stated that if he
could not obtain the easement to the west, he would "f'lip" h!s apartmen~ plans over
and utilize the driveway on the east instead~ He felt that as Jo~g as he can put
in 25 units here and supply the required parkim9, this should be sufficient~
-4-
Mr. Warren discussed the Commission's decision sometime ago to ~ezone th~s area
to R-3-B-2 or 1 unit per 2000 square feet of land area which wouild give the applicant
15 units. Mr. Warren declared the staff wi]] go along with the project on this
area that is properly designed and can be accommodated on the parcel~
Vice-Chairman Stewart commented that the driveway to the east is a~so part of the
parking for the apsrtments to the east, and questioned the applicant as to how he
plans to make up these spaces should he have to use this dr'~veway.
Member Guyer suggested the Commission grant the applicant the approval for 25 units
and ]et him work this out with the staff.
Director Warren stated this density - 1400 square feet per unit - would not work
unless the applicant obtains the use of the easement to the west as this is what
makes the 25 units feasible~
Mrs. Werner Schurlg, 255 San Miguel Dr[ve, stated her ite~ghbors were not ~formed
of this proposed development, and asked for a postponement so that They could be
notified and attend the meeting. Vice-Chairman Stewart exp~e~neo t~,ey weren't
notified because they do not llve within 300 feet of the proposed development.
Mrs Schurig indicated they wouldn't object if the structure was ~ one-story one.
Mr. Warren commented that this was a s~gnificant consideration in the applicant's
development to the east since it was an R-3 use in the middle of ~ s~ng~e-fam[ly
residential development, and great care was taken that ic would be compatible. This
proposed development is between C-2 and R-3 deve!oped property arid not very closely
related to San M[guel Drive.
Mr. Lee reviewed the llst of cond tions. Mr. Whittingtor stated he had ~o objection
to any of them.
The Comm~sslon then discussed paving the easement. Mr~ Lee stated this would have
to be done according to the specifications of the City Engineer for R-3 lots.
mh~r~ being no further comment, either for or against, the hearing was declared
APPRovAL OF MINUTES
Member Adams COmmer~ted that he made the mot~c,r approvin9 the ~,ar~ce for Fr~k L~
Whi~ttingto~ (page 5) arid it was Seconded by Member Guyer,
MSUC (Adams-Guyer) Minutes of March 21, 1~66, be approved with the Sugge;ted char, ge~
(a) elevations and floor plans ut a,, ........ :_
(b) detailed site plan
(c) detailed landscape plan
(d) the 32 foot easement to the west of said property is permanently
available to this parcel and is used in some site plan approved by
Commission and staff; the easement to be paved accord!ng to standards
approved by the City Engineer.
2. That all signs shall be in conformance with R-3 regulations -, The design and
location of said sign shall appear on the elevatio~ and p~ot plan drawings.
3. Two (2) street trees to be planted in the par kway~
-5-
Findings be as follows:
1, That there are practica! differences and unnecessary hardships within
the mean~n9 of Ordinance No. 398 as amended which would result in the strict com-
pliance of the provisions of said ordinance. So stated ~s delineated below~
2. That there are exceptional circumstances and co~ditio~a applicable to the
property herein involved or the intended use thereof that do r~ot apply 9~nerally to
property or class of uses in the same zone. The property ir adjacent to commercial
property on the west and south and multiple-family on the east, Sdch p:~operty is of
such size and configuration that it would be impr~ct~ca~ to develop R-I because of
adjacent uses. The setback reduction to 15 feet will be comp~L~b~e witr the 20 foot
setback ~n the Jot to the east and the 5 foot setback or~ the property to t~e west.
3. The granting of such variance is necessary for' the preser,,at~on of t~e
substantial property right of the applicant, With2ct the variance, the applicant
wou~d be restricted to one dwelling on a large parcel betwee~ R-3 a~d commercial use.
4. Granting th]s variance w~ll not be materiaily detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to the property improvements i~ the zone or' district in which
said property is located. Granting this variance would hoc be mater~al~ly detrimental
to the property or use in the area since a simiiar use of property i~ ex[stiRg on
the adjacent parcel to the east.
SUBDIViSiON - Tentative Map of Chula Vista Gardens
Director of Planning Warren submitted the map noting the Iocat~o~ as south of Naples
between the proposed interstate 805 Freeway and Melrose A'~'ec~e~ ffh~s ~s a vacant
area of rough topography and with only a half-street existing on Naplea which will
serve as one access. Nacion Avenue will be extended, and the subdivision wilt have
3 stub streets, it will be a slngte-family deveiopmei*t of t5£ lo~s ~ minimum lot
size of 7,000 square feet, There is a question now as to what is going to happen
to the adjacent property since complete deve!opment would be dependent upon a balance
of cut and flll; the staff has talked to some of the adjacent owr~e-s about this.
The Commission should also take into consideration the future of ~ptes Street~
Member Johnson recommended that Naples Street be finished off ~n this area,
Mr. Warren referred to the list of conditions impo:~ed by the staff and the Engineering
Department. Mr. Wittman, the subdivider, stated he is in complete agreement with
the conditions.
Vice-Chairmao Stewart questioned the cost of improving ~apieSo M?. Warre~ stated
th]s would require further study and more comments from ~he Engir:eer~r~g Oepartmeoto
tt is obvious that the City will have a half-street here For sometime unless it
takes the initiative to correct thb problem. ~f the land adjacenc to the south and
east of Naples ~s going to be developed with single-family use~ !t w~ll require
expensive grading and drainage facilities.
Member Vaden commented that there are 152 lots in this subdivision and it would be
a sad mistake, traffic-wise, unless the C~ty can come up with *he improvemenL of
Naples now to make it a complete right-of-way.

Mr. Wittman declared that he has secured the property n,~:xt to the church so that a
portion of Oxford Street will be improved and p~vedo O'igir~a~iy? he owned 15 acres
here, and he has since acquired additional land ~ order to get t~e sort of design
and pattern that would be beneficial to the area.
Member Adams discussed Oxford Street, east of Hilltop ~ve which he felt was a
poor street, but heavily-traveled. Mr. Wittman declared t~is wa~ ~ ~tandard 36 foot
street, curb to curb.
Mr. Warren reiterated that because a subdivision is taking place here which, although
not directly related, may complica~the development of Naples Street, it ~s up to
the CommJssion to point out to the Council that the problem ~s sti~t there and wilt
increase - some action should be taken to force improvement of Naples Street, but
not by this subdivider.

MSUC (Stewart-Vaden) Recommend to City Council that necessa;y ac~!o~: be ~r:itlated
by the Council to force improvement of Naples Street to the degree that it will
no lon9er be one-way. This subdivision alon9 with the development to the east
of this area makes it necessary that corrective action be taken aL thls t~me~

Request for Bereft'al of Public Improvements - 61Minot Averlue
A ietter from Mr~ George W. Clayton, Jr~ was read in which he asked for a waiver
of instaltatlon of public ~mprovements at his property a~ 61Mi~ot St;earn The
recommendation of the Englneerin9 Deivlsio~ was reviewed lrt which they recommend
approval of the request.
Member Adams felt this should not be waived - ~t should be deferred since the require-
ment for sidewalk on tNe whole block still exists. If the Comm!~s;oc 9~scts a de-
ferral, then the s~dewalk can be put ~n at some tater date,
Mr~ William Harshman, Principal En9ineer, stated he reviewed the ~rd~r,aFce as it
relates to this matter, and they feel it is dcb~ous that: improveme~ts here would
ever be put in. Vice-Chairman Stewart agreed, addle9 that the setback is such
that if sldewalks were put in, it would be at the frolnt steps of the homes.
MSC (Stewart-Johnson) Approval of waiver of icst~llat~o~ of pub'iic mp;ovements for
61M~not Street based on the followin9:
- t. No sidewalk exists on Minor Avenue rlorth of ~"ii"~ ~,~t,,ee,.' * AI,'~ lots along
Minor Avenue r,~orth of "D" Street are otc:up?ed with res~de':tiai developments.
2. This portlon of the street is uniformly improved with pavin9 uno curb.
3. S[nce the entire subject area is fuily deve!oped with home~, ~t is unlikely
that further significant development wi1! occur of the magnitude which
would qualify for application of Code Sect~o~ 27~24.
4~ T~e neighborhood is well estabJlshed~ No vo!u~t~ry ~nsta]ia~io~s oF

Director of Planning Warren stated a citizen's committee ha:~ w~:Fked with the County
Plan~iog staff for several months to come up with a zoning plan for the Ot~y area~
The County Planning CommJsslon has called a pub!ic hea'ing for Mareh ~5~ After
reviewir~g this plan, the staff found some zoning patterns here th,t ~ere not only
completely contrary to our General Plan, but to go~d zooming practice aiso~
zoning Plan is so controversial that another comm,'tt:ee ha~: been formed to protest
this Plan. They have asked the cooperation of the C~ty for their Pian. Mr~ Warre~
-9-
indicated that as far as the staff is concerned, with the approval of the Comm~sslo~,
he might speak favorably about one of the Plans although ~e~t~er o~e ~s entirely
favorable, Mr. Warren then discussed the submitted Pla~ ir~dicat;ng the areas pro-
posed for commercial, especially that on Third Avenue. He s~d he informed them
chat the City's General Plan hoped to eliminate some of this comm~rc~a! zoning
this area, since a 12 acre parcel was created north of tb~:~ site fo~ commercial use.
Another controversial spot would be the proposed comme~cia! p~rce~ ~outh of hll top
Drive and Orange Avenue which the Commission once de~ed p~zo:'~i~g Fo~ a service
station site.
Director Warren sa~d he would like to represent the Commission at tfis meeting whic~
will be held Friday, March 25, at 2 pom. stating the C~ty wili support the Plan with
the exception of limited areas that need further study.
Member Vaden declared he was not in favor of any mo~e ¢ommercia! zoning extending
along Third Avenue.
The Commission concurred that the Director should attend the m~eti~g.
MS~C (Vaden-Johnson) That the Director attend the meeting reg~rdi~g the proposed
rezonlng pattern for Otay and convey the thought~; and recommer~dations of t~e Commission
regarding this Plan.
To Be Set for Hearin~ - Certain Areas to be Zoned ~:C-N~' (Neignbo~hood Shoppi~tg Centers)
Director Warren delineated the areas the staff would r~commer~d be zoned '~C-N'~ as
follows: a 6½ acre parcel located on the east side of Otay Lakes Road ,south of
Gotham Street; 6 acre site on the northeast corner of Haiecrest and Ceiegraph Canyon
Road; an existing service station site located southeast corne~ ixac!o~ and
Street, about one-half acre; approxlmately I acre on the ~o~theasE c:orr~er of
Telegraph Canyon Road and "L" Street: a 6 acre site o~ the ~orchwe~t corner of Orange
and Melrose; 1½ acre parcel on the northeast co~ner o~ Orang~ A~,enue and Melrose;
