PUBLIC HEARING: Prezoning - Poggi Canyon Annexation No. 2 - R-1
Director of Planning Warren noted the location of the area as a rectangular-shaped
vacant 20-acre parcel of unzoned land located east of the proposed inland Freeway,
south of Greg Rogers Park, and abutting the northeast boundary of the recently approved
Flair Subdivision. He stated that the northerly lO acres will be purchased for an
elementary school site, and the southerly In acres will be developed with singleIfam[ly
lots.
This being the ~me ann place as advertised:, the public hearing was opened.
There being no commect, e~her for or agains~ Lhe hearing was decJa~cd closed.
The Commission discussed the request, and Member Adams commented That the prezon~ng was
appropriate for this area as it relates to exls:ing and proposed development.
RESOLUTION NO. 4~! Resolu~ior, of the City Planning Commission Recommending to
MSUC (Adams-Guyer) the City Council the Prezoning to R-] of t~e Pogg~ Car¥on
A~nexat~o~ No. 2
The Commission requests that it b~ adopted w~th an emergency ordinance.
Findings are as Fo~!ow~:
1. The northerly lO acre parcel is being reserved for an elementary school site while
single-family residential development is contemplated for the southerly 10 acres.
2. The General Plan designates this area as medium density residential.
3. The Planning Commlssion~ City Council, and Local Agency Formation Commission
recently approved the annexation of this property to the City and such prezonlng
is necessary to prevent the annexation of unzoned property.
PUBLIC HEARING: Prezonlng - West Side Vista Drive~ South of Bonita Road - Frank Ferrei -
Ei1 to C-2 '
The appllcatlon was read in which a request was made to prezone to C-2 property fronting
on the west side of V~sta Drive approxlmately 330 feet south oF Bonita Road,
Director oF Planning Warren submitted a plot plan noting the location and explaining
that it is presently County-zoned E-1 (slngle-Family resldentlal~ one acre lots) and
is unimproved. Mr. Warren then noted the topography of the site° and the proposed
805 Freeway and Interchange. He explained that this would be, according to the General
Plan, the first entrance to the City of Chula Vista and tour~st-orlented commercial
development should be capitalized upon here; however, it was felt that this wou!d be
restaurants, motels, and other allied uses. Although the alignment for the freeway
has been pretty well established, no right-of-way has been purchesed so there is no
assurance that the Freeway will be constructed as projected.
Chalrman Stewart noted that the area between this parcel and 8onlta Road is in the
County.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing ~=s opened°
Mr. Frank E. Ferreira, 3715 Putter Drive, Bonita~ commented ~ha~ !~ his calk w?th the
Director of P]anning, he was informed that the staff felt th~s request was premature.
He explained his reasons for the request stating that he would like to sta,~ now and
master plan the whole development. A portion of the area south of this parcel wi!l be
purchased by the State and since the rest of it will become landlocked~ the State wil]
have to purchase the entire s~te. The C-2 zoning would be we~l-ioca~ed in this area
as it would serve as a buffer between the Freeway and the Ri3 zoned property to the
west.
Mr. Ferreira then noted on the General Plan Map the area in questlo~ ~d ~ndicated
that the only shopping facilities projected to serve !e'~dent~ ~i' '~)' area
four miles apart; the commercial area here would serkzf~ ire loo~k~il~ ~r~d ~il ao~acer~t
areas. It takes a great deal of money to master-pier, ~,r~ o? ~
especially if it is going to be planned Jn an order'~y fac~i~¢o ~l tha~ ~o engage
an architect and engineering firm would take thousd,,~ of d,3!i,~'~ Q, eaL deaI of time .-
something that cannot be done this year, or next yea!~ but would pclh~ps ~eke two to
three years. Mr. Ferrelra added that he doesn't war:[ to p,~[ our '-. S20,000 to
$40,000 as a retainer to initiate this plan ~f he mig,[ ~'o~ ~ r ~, i zu:
There being no further comment, either for or against~ the ~earing w).- decl?ed closed.
Member York questioned the area to the south ,of rh~< p~C(~o ~, ' " = ~taTed the
area will be Jand!ocked because of the tight-oi-~v~, ~,;~, ~ :md
sequently, the State will purchase the entire site. ~e discussed this with the State
and they indicated they would negotiate with him for the area in exchange for the
land he will be losing when putting in the frontage road. If he gets th~s area from
the State, he will have a total of 22 acres and he plans to master-plan the entire
site. He added that it was predicated on his being able to get the C-2 zoning.
Member York asked if there was any emergency about this other than wanting to get the
project started. Mr. Ferrelra stated he is in escrow at the present time w~ich was
supposed to close the end of last month. Member York then questioned the access that
the southerly landlocked lots would have; Mr. Ferrelra stated that ultlmate]y ~t would
be through his property although currently they all have access by driveway to
Road.
Chairman Stewart questioned whether any right-of-way was purchased by the State for th~s
area. Mr. Warren stated that to h~s knowledge, none had been purchased. Mr;Stewart fe~t ~t was
not ~n the public interest to prezone this area to C~2 since no freeway alignment has
been definitely established and no r~ght-of-way purchased, and there is a real good
chance, because of the economy sltuation~ that the construction of this freeway will be
~urther away than contemplated. Mr. Stewart declared that the Commission shouid take
into consideration the whole surrounding area of the ~nterchange and not ~'spot zone"
a p!ot of land here and there - that they could have as much as 30 acres zoned commer~
cially in this area. He remarked that the Commission would find themselves in the
~ame position as w~en they approved the zoning for the Halecrest ShoppJng Center,
which ]and is stili vacant and the pressure ~s on for rezonlng adjacent to Jto He
added that he is not in favor of rezoning this property until the State purchases some
r~ght-ofiway.
Member Guyer questioned whether the County notified anyone of this request. Director
Warren explained that they do not do this~ dnless it is specifically their hearing.
Member Guyer felt the people in this area that llve in the County should have been
notified if they i~,/e within 300 feet of this area.
Chairman Stewart referred to the report from the County stating that they feei this
prezonlng would be an intrusion ~nto the ]-acre residential lots there now, and that
they also feel it would be premature to prezo;~c this unr~! such time as construction
begins oh the freeway.
Member Adams declared that he agrees 1on % with the comments made by the Chairman,
adding that C'-2 zoning would be the last type of zoning they would want for this
area - that itshould be C-V when an ordinance ~s adopted. If it is zoned C-2~ it
would displace the C-'V zoning that should be there. Mr. Adams added that it is preI
mature, and would be spot zoning in a residential area.
Member York said he disagreed- that it was not to be considered spot zoning because
of the amount of acreage involved; in order [o get an orderly development, you have
to make a long-range plan and the deveJopers must know which way they are going far
out in the futdre ¢~ order to be able to make these plans. The large retailers, such
as the drug stores, supermarkets, etch, are always planning ~hree to f~ve years in
advance of any population. They go ~n[o these areas kr~owlng what the population is
and lose money for three or four years while they are getting estab!ishedo Mr. York
cited the Broadway Store as such an example indicating that they have yet to realize
a profit~ even though the City has realized a good deal of money from them° Good
piannin9 dictates that you go from residential :o high ~'esldentlal to commercial
and the best use For property nex~ to a freeway fnterchange is commercial. Mr. york
added that: although C-V zone may be contemplated for ibis property¢ ~t is not on the
books~ and in hi~ es*imatlon, commercial zoning ~s needed for this area°
Mr, York further fdoed LhaL he lives withir~ one'-nail ,4,e ur this aite and would
welcome a grocery and drug store in this location° He declared that the developer
was in a much better position to state whether his request was premature or not.
Chairman Stewart said he disagreed - that he believed the people charged with the
responsibility of doing the planning for the City should have a voice in determining
whether or not such zoning is premature. He added that they have no knowledge whether
the State plans to buy rlght~-of-way this year, next year, or ten years from now. He
reiterated that a study must be made of this area after they know where the freeway is
definitely going, and reminded the Commission that they adop[ed the General Plan which
calls for C-V zonlng in this area°
-3-
Member York declared that he did not agree with th~s theory, but that if it was the
freeway that makes this zoning feasJble~ then the Director's remarks that the align-
ment has been established assures the fact that the freeway will go in. However~ if
the freeway never goes in Bonita Road Js a heavily-traveled arterial which calls for
some commercial development. The freeway would just Jntenslfy this and act as a
buffer~ and !f the freeway never went through~ commercial would abut the large one-acre
res~dentlal !ocs. Mr. York declared that whether or not the freeway did go through~
Bonita Road~ somewhere along this l!ne~ is in need of commercial zoning, and [f the
Commission did not approve zoning prior to some need~ theq he would question how they
expect to get an organized development here°
Member Guyer asked Jf the applicant was aware of the two conditions the staff proposed~
D~rector Warren read these condltJonsz one to prezone the area to R-1 temporarily, and
the other to ask for a detailed master development plan of the entire area. He commented
that the ~earest C-2 zoning to th~s area wouid be that on Church and "E" Street.
Mr. Ferreira asked if he could comment on these conditions# Chairman Stewart noted
that the public hearing was closed.
Member ~ork asked the appi~cant to comment on the D~rector~s statements and also to
~nd~cate what uses he plans to put ~nto this area under the C~2 zoning that he could
~ot put ]n under the C~! zon~ngo
Mr. Ferreira stated he was reldctant to spend $20~000 or $30,000 to do this preliminary
plan for the whole area if he does not get the zoning he requested. As to the uses~
he has two or three super'market chains interested in the area, and they would bring in
banks~ drug stores~ eton
Member York noted that the uses mentioned were all allowed under the C-1 zone. The
Commission then discussed the uses allowed under both zones and Member York suggested
that the area be zoned C-1-D~ which zoning has already been establ'iShed in this area~
across the szreeto The "D" zone wo~!d allow the Commission to control the development.
He added that he would Jike to see this area master-planned and what:ever the
can do to get this plan~ they should do so.
Member R~ce asked the applicant if ne were agreeable to the C-I-D zoning~ Mr° Ferreira
stated he was.
Member Adams Jndlcated that the applicant is driving for a major retait commercial
development and stated that th[~ was not the place for it - that it should be zoned
either C-V or C~N that he was definitely opposed to C-2 or C-1 zoning here.
The Commission discussed the need for a study and appJyJng C-V zoning here until such
t:!me as the S~ate purchases rJghts-of'wavi: Member Adams noted ~hat this may be as much
Member York pointed out that it m~ght take five years to plan this development. He
felt this was a problem for the developer and the prospective tenants and that the
Commiss~on owes it to the developer to zone this area now, if they have any intention
of ever zoning this commercial in the future~ that they should give the developer'
something to work with. He reiterated that Bonita Road is on the verge of becoming
a major thoroughfare~
Chairman Stewart ]ndicated that at present this sit:e has no access to Bonita Road and
not on a major thoroughfare - that ~t was on a local residential road.
Member York commented that th[s zoning was requested for this parcel because it is in
the County and that it is contiguous to another large parcel which has frontage on
~ Bonita Road, and that the applicant plans to master-plan this entire area.
Chairman Stewart declared that the application does not state this.
Member Guyer observed that [n view of the fact that theCounty Planning Department has
recommended against its he wodld !ike to see the matter contJnued for 30 days so that
the staff and the applJcant~ can get together on it.
Director Warren asked for the Commission's specific direction on the matter, if they
agree to the continuance.
Member Stewart felt the people ~n this area should be notified of the proposed shopping
center - that the fact that they are [n the County does not relieve this obligation°
mhe Commission concurred.
Mr. Ferreira asked if ]t was wJth~ the rights of the City to notify these County
residents. City Attorney Lindberg stated ~ha~ under the present zoning procedures~
it requires notJticetJo~ ~o everyone within 300:~ of ~he subject property; that the
ordinance does ~ot ~pecify Coa~ry or City? a~d the purpose of notification ~s to provide
an adequate knowledge of - pub!ir hear[ng to tho~e property owners that wou!d be affected.
Member York commented that if this were true, ~he public hearing tonight would be of
no use or affect~ because those people [n the County were not notified.
City Attorney Lindberg asked Jf any notification was se~t to the County residents.
.-~ Director Warren affirmed that notices were se~t to the City residents only within 300~
of this area.
Member Guyer sa ~ tha~i~ ]~ v~ew of this situat~on~ he would be in favor of a postponement°
City Attorney L~d~erg ~ated he would like [o speak further on this point. The fact
~s that the City .~y zone property w~rh~ the C~¥ without regard to ~hat complaints
may be recelvcd ¢~ ~ te~ ~n the County:, without regard ~o whethe~ complaints or
objections may be '~g~t~ed by those in the CJty~ but since the notice requirement
exists to give this knowiedge adjacer~t to the seDjec~ property~ he feels tha~ those
not~ces would go ~o those in the Cour~zy as well as the City i in a!] fairness to the
property owners concerted. !n this part!co!ar case~ the property is sr~! Jn the County
and property [k be~q prezoned so thai efFect~ve as of the date of annexation, the
property will become permanent ly zoned~ and i[ mdy very ~ell be that the adjacent
property owners may never know about this until construction of the project starts there.
Certain]y, Mr. Lindber9 added, the w~hes and desires of all uhese adjacent property
owners should be cons;dered as a part 9f the total evidence the £ommission we~g~; in
making the;r declsio o
binector Warren stated that unless the revised ordinance ~s in effect, that it isn't
a requirement - there's nothing to prevent it, however.
Mr. L~ndberg asserted that this was right- that the revised ordinance becomes effective
the 6th of January°
_ Director Warren read the prov~slon in the Zon!ng Ordinance relatlng to the sending
out of these public notices. City Attorney Lindberg agreed that, as of this hearing,
was not: a requirement to notify the Codnty res]dentso
Member Adams questioned whether th~s was proh~bltedo Mr. Lindberg stated ~t was not -
that a not~ce to any person ~$ not prohibited. The whole purpose of establishing the
300~ l~mitat~on and legal notices ~s to rather arbitrarily but reallst~cally llm~t the
responsibility oF the Planning staff. In many instances, it would be totally ~mpractlca:
to extend not~ce beyond the 300~ in densely populated areas~ so at some point, ~t must
stop because of the pract~ca!~t~es of the matter. The Courts have accepted this 300~
I~m~tat!on as being a realistic and responsible area for not~ce to be given, but if not~ce
were g~ven to every property owner ~n the C~ty, th~s would certainly not take away from
the ]urlsdiction of the Commlss~on or Council ~n dec~d~ng matters; as a matter of fact,
it would only enhance ~t by bringing to the attention of more interested parties the
action contemp!ated by the Council or the Commission. Mr. L~ndberg noted there were
several hearings before both the £omm~ss~on and Council where persons far removed from
the subiecr ~te could testify, and that there is nothing to preclude them from doing
so. There is ~o[h~ng to preclude a County resident from coming before the Commission
or Council and making their feelings known- ~t may g~ve less weight to their testimony
because they are not taxpayers of the C~ty,, but the Comm~sslon could not refuse to
hear their testimOqyo
Member Adams commented that if th~s hearing were continued~ the Commission would want
to hear from the County residents; however, he feels Lhere ]s nothing to be gained by
contlnu!ng Lhe hearing.
Mr. ~erre]ra asked that a decision be made ~onight, because of his escrow closing.
Chairman Stewart ~e[terated that the General Plan was recommended by the Planning
Commission to the Council for adoption, and ]t calls for an equal amount of tourist-
commercial zoning [n three different locations around that interchange. He again
asserted that a study should be made of this entire area - that rushing in and zoning
this plot was premature; that it doesnt even touch any of these major thoroughfare~
out there I it doesn't touch Bonita Road~ nor is ~t involved with the approach road.
If this is The caae~ he continued~ ~ study should be made of the entlre area because
(1) theCommlssion wili be making a change to t~e General Plan and (2) they w]!l be
zoning an a~ea before ~and Js bei0g acquired for a freeway, and no one knows how long
;t wi!! be before the freeway ~;J~ be constructeOo
Member York q~e~r~o~ed the lega!~ty of the Commission recommending a C-I-D zoning
for the s;te ~.~k~r~g whether Jt could be predicated on the overall development of
~n conjunctio~ w~th the other proper~y ffont!r~g o~ Bonita Road° He added that he
would not agree to commercial zoning for thJ~ ~i~e ~f ~t Js to be an isolated area
fronting on Vista Orive rather that Bonita
City Attorney , ~rdberg stated that as the few oroinance indicates, and ~t is a genera]
]aw that you c~rlnot condition zon~ng~ except in the manner prescribed in the ordinance
as to required ~mD'ovements &~d ded;c~*~o,s *hat would go along with the increased

RESOLUTION NO. 442 Resolution of the City Planning Commission Recommending to
MSC (Adams-Guyer) City Council the PrezonJng to R-I for that Property on the
West Side of ?ista Drive, South of Bonita Road and Setbacks
to be E~tabl;~,hed at 25 feet
F~ndings be as follows:
lo The request for commercial zoning in th~s area Js premature. While the Inland Freeway
will be located near the subject property and the realignment of Vista Drive
probably traverse it, there Js no justification for the C[t:y to prezone this property
commercially un~l such time as it can reasonably be expected to be developed or until
the Freeway ~s constructed or the rights-of-way purchased,
2. Heavy commercial dses ~n t:h~s area are ~nfeasible since it is entirely within a
rural-res[dent[a~ area with frontage on a local street, an area which bears little
relationship to a logical location for a commercial center of this type at this time.
3. The General Plan designates th!s area as visitor-commercial in coincidence with
the proposed ir:erchange. Since there Js neither this interchange nor, at present~
a VJsitor-Commerc~el zor~!ng ordi~a~ce~ the Commission recommends the area be prezoned
RiJ and when the proper time for development occurs, other alternatlves can be con-
sideredo
4. A more comprehe~slve plan for the interchange area should be developed before any
more general co~ercia! zoning !s granted.

PUBLIC HEARING: Variance - Joseph N. Wilson - 1542 Marl Avenue - Reduction in Sideyard
Setbac:N 5 to 3"
The applicat~o~ .~a~ read ir which a request was made for a reduction of side yard
setback from 5~ [o 3~ for [he construction of a covered patio.
Director of PIannlng Wa:ten submitted a plot plan noting the location of the property~

and th~,~ ~ne ' , ' c~ ov~'~ ~g to ~ith~n 3 ~eet of the property line.
Th~$ be!~,q '~ d ~ ~ as adve~ ~ ~ed~ the public ~ear ing was opened.
Mr, ~oseph w~n~ ~ne app~[cdn[~ m~nc~ned that he had a retaining wall cut back into
the bank which adds 2½' to the yard area, and so, if the roof was brought back to the
5 foot setback~ there would be 2 feet of the retaining wall out in the open and the
roof would drain out into the pat~o area.
Cha~rma~ Stewart discussed tfe requi~'ed setback and what would have to be done by the
applicant to comply. Membe~ ~uyer asked if t~ere would be any problem to move the
poles back. Mr~ Wii~on sa~d [h!~ ~as a minor problem - his chief concern is the
There be~ng :o l,~rther comment~ e~ner for or aga[nst~ the hearing was declared closed°
Member Adams said his reaction was that this could very easily be brought into conI
formance to the ordlnance~ and that theComm~sslon should require that it be done.
Member Guyer remarked that in order to grant a varlance~ they have to find exceptional
c~rcumstances and he raj ls to see any Jn this case.
Member York commented that this is another case of construction going ahead without
a permit, and the Commission asked to grant a variance to "bale him out." He felt
it was setting a bad precedent to grant this.
Chairman Stewart indicated that there was plenty of room to comply with the ordlnance~
and that ~t was an unfortunate situatJor.
Member Gregson ~elt that as long as there was no problem in setting the poles back,
the Commission should require that th~s be done.
Mr. Wilson stated that the two corner poles are on brackets and there is a center
support beam mounted on the block wa11~ he wondered ~f it would be practical to move
th~s back. C~a~man Stewar~ Felt the app!!cant may have to put in another po!e, but
asked him to check with the Building ~epartmen~ on
MSUC (Guyer~Rice) Denial of the va~amc~ request based on t~e followlng:
No exceptional circumstances could be found to justify granting the request.
!f the s~deyard setback o~d~nance ~s valid, it should be uphe!d,
2. [here !s~o preservation of a substantial property right s~nce the applicant's
need for the variance was self-~mposedo
3. Granting this variance would be a detriment to the area since a precedent
would be e~tab]ished t)r encroac?~ent into s~deyard setbacks.

Director of Pia~ng Warren submitted a F o~ p]a~ notch9 the locipro~ of the
request. Two lots a~e ~nvolved he~e, ai~ unde~ one )wnersh~p, amd it becomes a
question as to what t~e rear y~rd setback should be ~nce there 15 both R-2 a'~d
a rear yard. mecause of the sp~t zoning, the appJ~cant has ~ncluOed in h~s request
to allow the two buildings on one lot. The staff reco~ends approva~ of th~s ~equest
subject to the condition that the pr~erty required for street widening requested by
the Eng[neerlng Division shall start at M~not Street amd extend west to include
Parcels ~1, ~2, ~3, amd t~e easterly 50~ of Parcel ~4. Mr. Warren then introduced
the new Assistant C~ty Engineer, Mr. Howard Ges]ey, and asked him to cogent on the
recomme nda t ~ ohs.
Mr. Howard Gesley~ Assistant C~ty Engineer, reviewed the conditions of the Emg;meer:mg
D~v[s[on stating that the condition for an add~tlonal 3 feet along "D" Street for
street purposes was ~mportant ~n that ~t would take care of the street w~den~g and
parking on the street for future developmento The second condition of getting 2½ feet
adjacent to the rJghtiof-wa¥ for a general utility easement is also important and would
not affect the app!icant too much. Mr. Geslev said he spoke to the applicant brief!y
before the meeting about the conditions and the applicant was not too pleased with
having to have ~o grant a 10 foot tree planting easement nor with having To post a
bond of $2,750. for' street improvements. Mr. Gesley felt these !asr two condltion~
were not too ~mpor~ant as far as the City was concerned~ at present.
Member Adams asked how, in Mr. Geslay~s opln~on~ the C~ty would be able to get these
improvements if the condition of posting the bond was not imposed.
D(rector Warren exFlair~ed that ~f, in each case, development were to take place on
these lots they would be required to put the improvements ~n; however, any developed
!ct mat: would remain status quo wouldn't be ~mproFed ur~less it: were under the 19i!
Block Act.
Mr. Ges!ey noted the ways to get the ~mprovements: (1} voluntary; (2) 'i911 Act;
or ~f an expenditure in excess of $5000 ~s made for a building permit, the owner
would be required to put in the improvemantso
Member Adams noted that for the lots yet to be developed, the City would be assured
of the improvements; the only question involved the lots that are aiready deve:opedo
He asked ~f it would be Mr. Gesley;s opi'c .r that these lots could be taken care of
by the 19'1 Act. He noted that: there were no houses on the other slde of the street.
Director Warren Felt th~s could be done., provided the other lots were deve!oped.
C~ty Att:orney Lindberg sa~d he doubt:ed whether the City would resort to the 191i Act
~n this case~ They would either obtain the improvements upon the request For bu~/ding
permit in excess o~ $5~0OO or resort to the ~911B!ock Act i¢ more than 50 % of the
b!ock were !mp~gv~d,

Member ~yde asked if the tree pl~nt~ng easement app!ies to "DH Street or s~mply
Minor Street° Director Warren stated ~t could be e~ther, but there are trees on ~here
Th~s bei~ the ~;me and p!ace as adve~'tised, the public hearing wa~ opened.
Mr. ~enry Jahn~ the appl~c:ant~ stated tha~ he and his wife have applied for the
Peace Corps which i~ the reason they are se,i,¢ng tr:is property. They have a buyer
For th~s one place w~th the two houses on it:; that they couldn't se'!i the whole parce,.
When they filed the lot spl]t~ they were told that the side now became a back~ and
thus the reason for the 7 2" setback being requested at this meeting.
He added that at 4 o~clock th~s afternoon~ he was astounded to discover that he had
to glve up 3 feet for r~ght-,of-way~ pius posting $2750. for a bond, plus giving a
l0 foot easement for tree plant:lng just to get the setback arrangement so that he could
sell his house° First of ali~ Mr. Jahn declared~ he would be 9~ving up almost 1500
square feet for the 3 feet easement for dedication. As to the $2750° bond:, the street
up on Minot is paved and they plan to improve as they develop that property according
to the City's ordinance. These two conditions are unfair and unreasonable, Mr. Jahn
dec!ared. Minor Street: !s only a 40 foot dedicated street and "D" Street Js not used
very often. He added that he could not get the C~ty to make any improvements on "D~"
Street - he had to haui d!rt and bring gravel!n on h]s own in order to get down to
his litt!e house. There i~ no use for ~ny of that land down there except to maintain
the pumping station. The propert~ is now ~n escrow and ~t is problematlcal that the
buyer would agree to these terms:' ;t would certainly prove an obstacle ~n selling the
house if they agreed to the~e changes.
City Attorney Lindberg a$~eo if they cou!d have a two-week cant!nuance on the matte~,
Mr. ,;ahn said !t wou!d make t~ttie d!ffe, ence to him but questioned what would be
gained by ir. M~o [indberg stated he wished to look at the conditions and perhaps
work out s ome~h!mg more amenable.
Mr. Jahn cla~med that he discussed zhis same :izluat[on with the Commission three yea~
ago~ and th~: he f[]ed ~his p~rt~cular appi]c~t~on on the lath of December and wouta
not like a delay. He added he ~s not changing anyth!ng- one house has been there
For over 60 years and the other is ]0 years old; the .equest is just a technicality.
Chairman Stewart declared th~s calls for a variance and not a technica!~tyo Me added
the house would be non-'conforming,
Cha:rman Stewart further remarked tn~t because of the lot split, Lo~: No. 2 becomes
non'-conFormlng to the ordinance. It becomes c]o~er to the rear lot !]ne, and he
feels there i~ good and justifiable reason for granting the variance.
Mr. Jahn questioned ~he pos~ibiiity of cutting 3 feet off the front of the property.
They are presently 15 feet from t~e front property line, and the road curves at this
point - the road is dedicated and !s 40 feet.
Member Hyde questioned ~hether the Pubilic Works Department plans on w(dening th~s
street to ~6 :e~ . Director Wa-ran e~p!a~ned that if ~mproved, they would want it
improved the m!n~.um w~dth to take care of all the ~mprovements o~ the rlght.-of-way.
Th~s would accommodate a normal~ local~ read,dent(a! s~reet~ ~n t~e event that the
rest of the prope-ty ~ the area ?s developed,
Member Rit* ! :*bout the front ~c'~b6ck and q,.~ ;~,ned wh~ , t, :~ wash ', also set
forth here too. Director Warren indicated the f~ont setback was 25 feet. City
Attorney Lindberg felt the Commission should be considering a setback variance For
"D" Street ~f that becomes the front of the lot,
Mr. Jahn cia:reed liD'l Street was too steep a street to park cars and it was rather
supe~iuOus to n$ist on a 3 foot r[ght"of-~ay~
Mr. Paul Miller speaking fo~ the app;!cant; c]a~med there could be but four other
houses built opposite this s[te~ it is a very ~solated and dead-end type of street:,
He remarked that the conditions being considered by the Comm[ssJon would be a real
hardship to Mr. dahn~ and stated that until the State passed a :!aw about 60-90 days
ago~ the Comm~sslon wouldn't have had any control on this at all, because each one
of those lots have a 60 foot frontage and they could have been divided and no one wou~d
have known the difference.
Chairman Stewart explalned that the applicant wasn't before the Commlss~on because
of the lot spilt, but rather because of the setbacks caused by this lot split.
Mr. Jahn declared he was three months getting this parcel map because of the new
State provls~on. Director Warren explained that if the applicant had split the
parcel into 3 lots~ he wouldn't have to appear before the Commission, but because
it is split ~nto 4 lots, in the manner proposed~ the original sideyard setback
becomes the rear yard setback.
Mro Miller declared the house has been there for a great number of years, and that
Mr. Jahn is a good citlze~ who shou!dn~t be penalized because of the situation he
finds h~mselF in now.
Chairman Stewart explained the app!icant~s reason for being before the Commlss~on.
He needs the reduction fron! !5 feet to 7 feet 2 inches for the rear yard and now
they discover the front yard, which was the side yard before, also doesn"t have
adequate front yard setback, if there was reason to come in for the reduction to
7~ 2" for the rear setback, the same reasoning applles to the front house because ~t
is too close to the street.
Mr. Miller commented that the sltuat~on won't change if the Commission decides on a
postponement. Chairman Stewart commented that the Commission just wants to comply
with the law and give the applicant what he needs as possible.
Mr. Lindberg asked if a two-week postponement would cause a hardship.
Mr. Jahn remarked that the house under discussion had always faced "D" Street - that
it was built that way. it was actually there before the road was put in. The
people they bought ~ home from gave the dcdlcation to the City so that they could
go down and put the sewer atl the end of the street.
Member York reviewed the request indlcat~ng that th~ second house was not non-.
conforming, since it is on 6 lot facing Minot Street and ~ot '~OTM Street. Because of
this lot sp!it~ ~t wil! be on a different iot; therefore, the side yard becomes the
back yard and non-conforming.
Chairman S~ewa¢~ ~oted that the front of the front house would be considered non=
conforming but not the rear of the rear house.
Member' York asked iF it would be legal to split this lot without making the street
improvements ~]~ 'mi~ side of the street. Si~¥ Attorney Liridberg stated that on the
parcel map provisions, there ~s c~rtain improvement requirements~ which in this case,
he doesn't know whether they have been met or not.
Member Adams felt there was enough uncerta!nty about the matter to cause a post-
ponement. Member York indicated there wou!dn:t be any uncertainty if the applicant
was wil!ing to dedicate the amount of righti'of-way, and if the Commission could be
assured that, when and if the lots are developed, the street will be improved.
Member Adams stated the lots would get the street improvements when they were
developed, however, the Commission should r~quire these improvements on the lot
already developed.
The Commission discussed the condlt~o~s and Chairman Stewart commented that he felt
40 feet was enough of a width for th~s street, and the $2750 bond creates a hardship.
Mt. Gesley pointed out that the bond was for the improvements on one-half of the street
from the north-half of "D" Street to the driveway of the second house. Chairman Stewart
noted that the applicant would have to post a bond for two vacant lots and he felt this
was an imposition.
Member York discussed this, commenting that if the Commission doesn't require the
improvements on the second lot ' the lot with the house on it - and then the tst and
3rd lots are developed, they would be faced with a street that widens and then narrows~
etc. He would llke to see s c~oe provision made whereby if improvements are made on
LOt 3, then improvements on Lot 2 would have to be made.
MSUC (Guyer-Adams) Continue this public hearing to the meeting of January 16 to allow
the staff to further coordinate a solution with Mr. Jahn.
PUBLIC HEARING: (Cont~d): Ordinance-, Adoption of CliV (V;sltor-Commerclal) Zone and
Establishing Site Plan Contro! ~n Commercial Zones
D~rect:or of Planning Warren stated th~s m~tter was continued from a previous hearing.
He discussed the need for a C-V zone at the ;nterchange of Bonita Road and Interstate
805 which ~s called out on the General P!an. Mr. Warren then summarized the contents
of the proposed C~V ordinance and the Site Plan Control. Since the last hearing, the
following permitted uses have been added: theaters, incidental uses not speclf~cally
permitted in the zone but which shall be operated in the same building and in conI
junction with the permitted use to which they are ~ncldental, and w~th a condltlona! use
permit - the keeping of horses for hire°
Mr. Warren indicated tha~ this does take care of ~ome of the questions that were raised
at the last hearing, but not alt of them.
City Attorne~ t;ndberg ~e!t he wou!d llke to reserve h~s comments until he finds out
what, subseq.~t!~, the people wa~t in t~e ordi:~'~e. He felt there m~ght be some
changes in wording, but not in substance.
7h~s being the time and piace as advertisedl the pub!~c hearing was re-opened.
Mr. Frank Eo Ferre~ra~ 37!5 Putter 9rive, Bo~t~ ~[a~ed h~s f~rst complaint was that
he could get ~o i-for.~t~on from the Planni,~g Depar*men~ u~il just before a meeting;
however, in view o~ t~e ~act that the g~rector of Planni~9 was out of town this past
week, he can perhaps undursr*~d this. Re,err!nc :o the General Plae~ Mr. Ferreira
said he could see bu* o~- ~ed witnin the ci-v 'f~: whe-e the C-V zone would be
appllcabie, u¢!:e they a-,~ talk!~g 20 .ear~ r-. c ' ~qd this wo~¢d be the intersection
of Bonita Road and 805 Freeway. He stated that they are being Purdened down in this
c~ty with something that went on in the Roosevelt administration - "the alphabet soup."
There ~s a C-V and an I-R zone, and so many new ~nes that as a local business man,
he feels th~s thing is getting out of hand. He declared that there is no reason for a
C-V zone ~n t:h~s c~ty at this time, although the General Plan calls for it, he stil! can
see no other area other than Interstate 805 and Bonita Road that would be concerned
with it. He added that the C-V zone ~s premature -. more so, as a matter of fact~ than
his request for C-2 zoning (~tem 3 on this agen~a) o
Mr. Char!es E. Brown, co-owner of the Cavaiier Motor ~otelo agreed that this C-? zoning
Js premature and that there i~ no need for th~s zoning° He Fe!t very !Jttle time was
given to t:h[~ proposed ordinance by the staff since the !asr meeting~ ~n view of their
report submitted tonight. He said the objections of the people appearing before the
Commission have been taken lightly and furthermore, he objects strongly to this type
of "pulling" from the general ordinance of Chula Vista - there is no emergency in-
volved in this "piece-meal pulling" of ordinances. He remarked that the Commlss~on
should be cognizant of the proposed general ordinance as a whole, but that none of
the citizens are~ and it was unfair to take these ordinances out and pass them.
The people do not know where it fits in to the "jig saw puzzle." He added that the
Commission is treating this as a metropolitan city, but that it was a suburb. Mr.
Brown discussed a new proposal he heard about - that there will be a 25 foot setback
established for Broadway. He asked the Commission to consider the people living here
today, next year, five years from now, and that 25 foot setback for Broadway m~ght
be appropos for the year 1990 or 1980.
He further added that he has been living here for the past 20 years and that they
developed a good little town without all this "high-falutin~ fantastic planning."
Mr. Brown asserted that certain guide lines are necessary, but ~t ~s fast becoming
a point that one cannot come into Chula Vista, chose a location to do a certain thing~
and under a certain section of the ordinance, get a set of plan~ drawn up and walk
into the Build~ng Department and get a permit. He further added that there are
a few places left in town whereby one can do th~s~ however, when ~!~e new proposed
ordinance is passed, it will be impossible to do this. Mr. Brown declared a General
Plan was necessary but a spec~flc plan ~s not necessary.
Mr. Dennis Wittman, representing Saratoga Development Company~ stated this company has
considerable holdings in Chula Vista and although he has no spec~flc objections to
the C-V zone~ his oompany has areas they are considering for corn~ercial development
in the future, and he is concerned about the restrictions that might be placed on these
areas. He discussed the proposed C-V zone whereby it would only be used at freeway
interchanges, and felt that every interchange ~hould not be placed under the position
whereby it had to have motels, restaurants, and the llke, They have 2 or 3 sites
that will be on freeway interchanges, and they may want to expand the uses at these
sites beyond that permitted by the C-V zone. Mr. W[ttman claimed he has been
negligent, up to now, in not reviewing this ordinance~ and therefore~ felt he should
make his views known at this time, since he fee!s this very th~g may happen at the~e
interchanges if this ordinance were passed. He discussed ~he oeed for a General Plan
and the need to follow it to a certain degree~ bu~ declared !t s~o,~ld not be followed
specifically because things change - universities and such may come ~to a c!~y, etc.~
that change the whol~ picture.
Mr. Paul Miller, 350 E Street, stated he has b~en in the real es~at~ buslness for 20
years, and felt concerned about the trend that is developing in C~.~la V~sta ~bout
gett|ng approval of everything one wants or plans to build. He ¢l~med the new
proposed ordinance should not be passed until a real emergent? ~r i~ ex~st~. T~e
City should have certain zones whereby you can do certai~ th!ng~ ~;~c let ever~o~e
know what the guldel~nes ahd rules are. He added th~ this ;s ~ ~,~r~ous ma~ter and
the Commission should stop and take a long look at it.
Mr. Ferreira asked if, within the past year or 18 months, there has been a p~ece of
commercial, high density, residential or industrial zone that has been pas~ed w~tho~t
some sort of restriction on it. Director Warren indicated there were some parcel~
but he did not know precisely where without doing some research on ~t.
Chairman Stewart asked the staff's feeling on a continuation. Director Warren stated
the staff has no objection to continuing this to any time necessary ~n order to get ~
good ordinance. Mr. Warren then discussed the new proposed ordinance indicating that
the staff did give this considerable thought since the last meet~ng¢ a~d ~t was the
staff's conclusion that they were considering a C-V zone and that a determination ha~
has to be made as to whether or not they want this zone. If this zone is necessary
and if al! those uses are to be included or elimlnate~all of the control that have
been suggested, there would not be a visitor-commercial zone - there would be slmp!y
the commercial zones as presently exist. Mr. Warren added he doesn't believe they
could carry out the goals of the General Plan with the present ordinance. He dis-
cussed the fact that the Comm~sslon has been working on a new comprehensive zoning
ordinance and commented that it was unfortunate that they haven't been able to release
it to the public; but due to the changeover in Commlss]oners, and other reasons,
they haven't been aDie to do so. However, they hope to do so in the near future.
He added that everyone agrees that theCity should have a General Plan but that he
cannot understand how they can use it without a modern zoning ordinaoce~ and one that
is comparab]e with more progressive c!t~es. The fact that the:e proposed ordinances
are lifted from the proposed general ordJnance is because there was a need for them.
As for this particular proposed ordinance, the staff Js willing to study any further
changes the Commission feels are necessary, after holding th~s pub]it hea~ing.
City Attorney Lindberg stated that there are numerous zones- some mod!fJcations of
existing zones and some new zones - which most planners feel are necessary to
~mplement tke goals of tFe General Piano ;t has been necessary for some of these
zones to have e3rller p~::sage, such as the existing C-'N zone. This proposed
zone seems to be another such zone that might f]nd favor for those wishing to go into
this type of operation- the same holds 'rue with the I-R zone. These zones were
designated for a spec!f~c p!ece of property; the ~-R zone was lifted because it was
deemed to be more desirable in an area where it would be more compatible with the
residential development. Mr. Lindberg added that he hopes they can get more comments
as to the substance of this ordinance - they want to hear whether thJs is a necessary
ordinance or if the people believe that the present commercial zones would take care
of this - whether there should be more uniformity of standards - more regulations
should be spe!ied out so that the developers would have more guidelines, etc., -' all
these things are desirable. It is not the purpose of the ordinance to leave anyone
"up in the air" when they come in with a set of plans. Mr. Lindberg favored a
continuance, indicating there was no great rush for this proposed ordinance.
Mr. Brow!! commer~ed that the Commission and Council went to great !engths to bring
in the Gener3i Pidn and h~d the help c.f the Citizens' Committees. He added that
volunteer help ;s difficult to get, Dut if you go out and ask people to help, they
wi]i. Mr. drown remarked that this p:iece-mea! adoption of th~s general ordinance
is u~fair to im~ ~b~CI ~r~ are a group o~ specific th]r:gs ~n this ordinance which
should be gi~e~', more considerat~or~: the ~ite plan and architectural site plan control.
This is [hE ~¢~.* ~h~r~g they are trying to avoid -, chase a~e the two riders attached
to this p~o~,~sed ordinance. Ne added that this is a tremendous load to be adding to
the Planmi~9 ~taff. Mr. Brown further added that they are interested in this ordinance~
for obvious reds,)~ ar':d would like [o help out in any way they can so that they can
City Attorney Lindberg suggested the hearing be continued for 4 weeks in order to give
all these gentlemen more time to go over this proposed ordinance.
MSUC (Guyer-Rice) Public hearing be continued until the meeting of February 6, 1967.
,PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance -Adoption of !-R (Research-lndustr~ai) Zone
Director of Planning Warren explained the contents of this propo6ed zone indicating
that it would be a restrictive industrial zone° Several months ago, the Commission
received a request for permanent zoning to M-] for the southern part of the Princess
Manor subdivlsJon~ Objections were heard from the adjacent resident]al property
owners by both theiCommission and the Council. The Council suggested we bring out
this proposed I-R zone since they felt it would be more compatlble with the res~denr~a!
neighborhood. This ordinance will eventually set up performance standards For industrial
use instead of trying to go through and llst every industrla~ use. Mro Warren suggeated
that perhaps this hearing should also be continued and a wider dlstr~bution made of
this proposed ordinance. It was originally p~t on th~s agenda in order To meet a dead-
line which was set by the City Council; howevers ~f it was continued to t~e ~ex~ meet!ng
this deadline could probably still be met.
T'h[s being the time and place as advertised~ the public hearing was opened.
Mr. Charles Brown, co-owner of the Cavalier Motor Hotel, "E'~ Street. a~ked what the
difference was between this proposed ordinance and the present M-l, arid aiso whet ot~er
zones were planned in conjunction with this one.
Director Warren indicated it was difficult to compare it with tke prese'~[ M-1 zone
because it would be replacing it. It would be restrictive ~n t~s s~rise: in the uses
allowed; control of signs; control over site development; ~nter!or storage. Mr. Warre~
declared that he would have a more comprehensive comparison be*~ee¢ ~r6 z,~ ~, :t 'he
next meeting.
Chairman Stewart de!~neated the uses that wou~d be aiicwed ~r!d~r
that the uses allowed would be less objectionable to adjace,~t res!deC, rs
the present M-I zone. Mr. Stewart explained the need fo, t';* zone
was before the Commlss;on.
City Attorney Lindberg explained that the Council did not want to b6 pu~ i.'~ the in~le×~be
position of saying they wished to deny industrial use for th~s are~, ~ becau~ o~ t~e
adjacent res~dentlal development, they did not want to open it up to
zone with the few restrictions we have. The whole point of the ne~ zoning
is to provide greater flexibility.
Mr. Frank Fer~'eira read an e~:pt ~rom the ~e~era~ pi~r~,
need and the goals of the Piano He fel~ that if ii, ere ~ere ~ ~
particular site~ iL could be solved with the ~upp~mert~t '~13
use permit:.
Mr. Warren commented that t~e [OdnC~! con,!dared th~ M-~-O Z~)F:C,
the second reading on the matter, decided to concinue ~t ~or 12~
90 days to try this ~-'R zone.
Member York spoke of the apprehension on the Da~t of the peo~!~ ~e
particular zones are being lifted from the o~dlnanceo ~e exn~:},~:'' ~:v ~e
to give the Commission and the Council t~e too!s to gr~r!t zoni~ ,,~
they would prob3b~v h,~ve tO deny the type of zoning ' '~ ,
understood by dJi Lha[ the Commission and LOdnCii =;~ ;i~ o¢~ ..... h- .... ~ driy ored
at the present time into any of these zones. Mr. York reiterated
intent at the present time to do any rezoning on the initiation of t~e Commission
the Council - it would be on the initiation of the developer.
6hairman Stewart discussed the small attendance at the public hea;ngs held for the
General Plan; he noted that these same Consultants that drew up the i3eneral Pi~r are
responsible for this new proposed zoning ordinance. He fait ~his gere-at ordima'ce
would be even less restrictive than the General Plan anticipat:es. M.ro St6wart commented
that within the next few months, public hearings should start on ~hts new proposed
zoning ordinance.
Mr~ Ferreira questioned why the restrictions of th~s zone couldn't just be attached to
the present zone (M-1 or Mi2i. Mr. Warren explained that the present M~I zone would -~
be ultimately e~iminated.
Mr. Ferrelra d~scussed the fact that because of the tight money situation, the Loan
Associations more or less dictate today what the developers have to have. He has seen
many examples i.~ here where they have lost months end months trying to coordinate the
requirements of the lender - who is the dictator - and satisfying the City. He cited
as an example of this, his high-rise project on Fourth Avenue..
Chairman Stewart explaJned the delays caused on th]s project, indicating the Commission
was trying to meet the requJrements of the ordinance.
Member Adams remarked that the proposed new zoning ordinance Js much more favorable and
if this ord]~nce had been on the books at the time Mtn FerreJra was planning his pro-:
ject, the Commission couid have been more favorable.
The Commission then held a general discussion on the new proposed I-R zone and cited
the need for comments from those in the audJenceo They concurred that this matter
should be continued.
MSUC (Hyde-RJce) Continue the public hearir~g to the meeting of January 16.
Recommendation - Request for Vacation of Senna Way
Director of Planning Warren stated that this involves a paper street in the Princess
Manor Subdlv[sion. The street was proposed to serve the adjacent property, but the
School Distr~ct bought this for an elementary school site. There is now a request to
vacate this street. The report from the Engineering Division indicates that the
utility companies have been requested to indicate their desires regarding th~s vacation.
Mr. Warren added that there would be no work Jn physically closing it.
'The Commission d~scussed who would acqdlre the property, if vacated, Mr. Warren declared
it would go to the property owners on e~ther s~de of this street. Mr. Ralph Spa~d
~ndlcated tha~ rme School Distr~ct u!timat:el¥ pJa¢~s to use the entire width for
access to the proposed Valle L;ndo scrool
MSUC (Guyer-Gre9son) Recommend to the City Councl ~he vacation of Senna Way,

The staff has received a revised tentative map of the subdivision but it would not
