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).

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.
