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 Chu1a Vista Regulating the Processing of Land Use Proposals Which Are Inconsistent \vith Part Two of the rilontgomery Specific Plan.

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: 1. The Montgomery Planning Committee had considered the original, draft interim ordinance at their hearing 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 e Page 2, Item Meeting Date 12/20/88 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 said 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 interests 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 Ordinances 2266 and 2283 effectively provided the protection di scussed in the above paragraph duri ng thei r aggregate, 180-day tenure, this protection is still required. 3. To date, the interim ordinances have been generally well-received by the pub 1 i c and have produced 1 i ttl e concern on the part of property owners. On the other hand, they have directly protected owners of two residential holdings in Otay Town, and the large commercial holding within the southeasterly quadrant of Third and Orange Avenues. 4. Staff believes that the rezoning of the lands of Montgomery, as called for under Part Three of the t'1ontgomery Specific Plan, will be substantially completed in less than a year, and will then obviate the need for additional interim ordinances.
