COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item 17 ITEM TITLE: Meeting Date 9/6/88 Ordinance ~~~ Emergency measure for the reenactment of an interim ordinance for the regulation of the processing of Land Use Proposals which are inconsistent with Part Two of the Montgomery Specific Plan SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: Director of Planning City Manager0 ~/L (4/5ths Vote: Yes X No -- The City Council, meeting in regular session on April 26, 1988, considered a proposed interim ordinance, which would require proponents of land uses which are inconsistent with the Montgomery Specific Plan to submit applications for the amendment of the Specific Plan in conjunction with their applications for the establishment of the proposed uses. The City Council members, during this consideration, discussed the equity of the proposed ordi nance, and expressed concern over those projects which have been substanti ally processed, or currently withi n the "pi pel i ne. " Counci 1 after the conclusion of its consideration of the draft ordinance, referred it .back to staff, and requested that the ordinance be revised by the inclusion of provi si ons whi ch woul d protect the interests of proponents of development projects which have been substantially processed by the City. The requested, revised ordinance was prepared by staff, and, on May 3, 1988, was adopted by Council as Ordinance No. 2266, entitled "An Interim Ordinance of the City of Chula Vista Regulating the Processing of Land Use Proposals Which Are Inconsistent with the Montgomery Specific Plan." Ordinance 2266 was effective for 90 days, and has now expired. Section II of Ordinance 2266 anticipated a one-year extension of its provisions, provided this extension was adopted by Council during the interim ordinance's initial 90-day tenure. The Planning Department inadvertently failed to apply to Council for the extension, and Ordinance 2266 lapsed on August 2, 1988. The proposed ordinance is substantially similar to Ordinance No. 2266. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached emergency interim ordi nance for a peri od of 90 days. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: 1. The Montgomery Planning Committee had considered the original, draft interim ord; nance at the; r hear; ng of March 16, 1988. The Committee approved the said interim ordinance, and recommended that it be adopted by the City Planning Commission and City Council (vote 5-1, one absent). . e Page 2, Item 17 Meeting Date 9/6/88 2. The City Planning Commission had at its meeting of April 13, 1988, voted 4-3 to recommend that the City Council not adopt the original interim ordinance. DISCUSSION: 1. The proposed interim ordinance is designed to protect the growth, development, design, and conservation policies of the Montgomery Specific Plan, as well as the interest of proponents of development projects which have been substantially processed by the City, even where the said projects are not consistent with the Specific Plan. 2. While Ordinance 2266 effectively provided the protection discussed in the above paragraph during its 90-day tenure, this protection is still required. 3. No pipeline projects have been negatively affected by the temporary lapse of this ordinance nor has any of the intended protection of the Montgomery Area and Specific Plan been compromised. FISCAL IMPACT: None. eWPC 5445P .
