PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE - SILENT PRAYER
The pledge of allegiance to the flag was led by Chairman Carson and was
followed by a moment of silent prayer.
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
Chairman Carson reviewed the composition of the Planning Commission, its
responsibilities and the format of the meeting.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Robert J. Giangreco, 1391 La Mancha Place, CV, 92010-7117, spoke in opposition
to Bonita Vista Townhomes, a proposed development in the canyon between
Telegraph Canyon Road and Buena Vista Way, and submitted a copy of his remarks
to the Secretary for the record. He was informed by Principal Planner Lee
that the applicant had filed a tentative subdivision map and precise plan and
it was estimated that the project would be scheduled for Planning Commission
consideration in approximately 2-1/2 months.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: PCS-88-8 - CONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR
CANYON VIEW, CHULA VISTA TRACT 88-8 KELTON TITLE
CORPORATION
Associated Planner Griffin stated that the Planning Commission had approved an
application for a rezoning of this property last December from R-1-H to
R-1-H-P plus the majority of the precise plan. The site consists of +]1.4
Planning Commission -2- July 13, 1988
acres at the southwest and southeast corners of East "H" Street and Rutgers.
The surrounding land uses consist primarily of single-family homes, Tiffany
Park abuts the northwest portion of the site, and a proposed daycare center
site is located to the north across East "H" Street. The project consists of
40 single-family attached units served by private streets with guest parking
bays. There are 22 units in 11 structures on the west side and 18 units and 9
structures on the east side of Rutgers. The entire site is terraced. Most of
the dwellings are split-level ranging in size from 1,950 to 2,500 square feet
of living area plus an attached two-car garage. The majority of the dwellings
straddle intermediate slopes and are located above East "H" Street and Rutgers
and below the single-family homes. Using the overhead projector Planner
Griffin showed the floor plans for the different units.
The issues remaining from the earlier hearing are addressed by the tentative
map and the revised precise plan. The individual private lots would range
from +3,500 to 8,800 square feet. Most of the prominent interior slopes would
be i~- common open space lots. The major slopes adjacent to East "H" and
Rutgers would be included within an open space maintenance district. Staff
further recommends that the slopes adjacent to lots 17 and 18 on the east side
of Rutgers be within a common open space lot also as they are fairly
prominent. Fencing for the rear of the lots would be a view fence consisting
of low stucco walls with wrought iron on tops and sections with tree plantings
between the units. The side yards would have solid fencing and the fencing
between the structures would be a combination of open fencing and solid
fencing. Staff is recommending that the frontage of the lots be a detailed
landscape under the Homeowner's Association. The views of surrounding
residents should be retained in the landscape concept.
This being the time and the place as advertised, the public hearing was opened.
Bill Hedenkamp, 1331 India Street, San Diego, 92101, the architect, commented
that there are four basic concepts in designing the project. To protect the
views from the adjacent single-family residences the landscaping has addressed
the tree height and density. The residences are being set down the hill to
protect the views. The entrances have been moved to Rutgers up the hill and
as far from "H" Street as possible. A major concern of the property owners
was to preserve the views of the property. The applicant concurs with staff
recommendations.
No one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
MSUC (Tugenberg/Shipe) 6-0, to recommend that the City Council approve the
tentative subdivision map for Canyon View, Chula Vista Tract 88-8, subject to
conditions 1 through 14.i contained in the staff report.
Commissioner Tugenberg commented that this was one of the most attractive
plans that had come before the Commission. Commissioners Carson and Cannon
agreed.
Planning Commission -3- July 13, 1988
2. PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PCC-88-56 - REQUEST TO ESTABLISH
CHILD DAY CARE CENTER AT 275-280 BEECH AVENUE - THOMAS W.
DELANEY AND DOUGLAS O. HAIGH, JR.
Associate Planner Griffin indicated that the proposal is to convert two
existing duplex dwellings at 275/277 and 279/281 Beech Avenue in the R-3 zone
to a child day care center for approximately 30 two-year olds. This would
represent an expansion of the adjoining Early Childhood Learning Center at 273
Beech Avenue. The rear structure would be just for day care. There would be
3,000 square feet of outside play area between the buildings and the existing
center and at the rear of the site. The site plan shows three on-site parking
places in the driveway and two off-site in front of the center. The hours of
the day care center would be from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with the arrivals and
departures staggered to minimize noise. The total complement would be 64
children and 8 employees.
Staff feels the proposal is a supportable expansion. To ensure adequate
parking, employees should be required to use the off-street spaces. The
Initial Study required establishment of sound walls along the rear of the
property. Staff is also suggesting that the height of the wall along the rear
property of the existing site be increased from 4 feet to 6 feet and a 6-foot
sound wall be constructed along the portion of the northerly boundary
coinciding with the play area. With these conditions, staff recommends
approval.
In response to Commissioner Shipe's question if any objections had been filed
on this item, Planner Griffin replied there had not.
This being the time and the place as advertised, the public hearing was
opened. No one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Tugenberg remarked that he sat across from the front of the
existing center from 7:40 to 8:00 a.m. and that parking did not seem to be any
trouble. The noise level across the street was very high, however.
MSUC (Shipe/Fuller) 6-0, that based on the Initial Study and comments on the
Initial Study and Negative Declaration, to find this project will have no
significant environmental impacts and adopt the Negative Declaration issued on
IS-88-82.
MSUC (Shipe/Fuller) 6-0, that based on findings contained in Section "E" of
the staff report, to approve the request, PCC-88-56, to establish a child day
care center at 275-281 Beech Avenue subject to conditions "a" through "h"
contained in the staff report.
~-- Planning Commission -4- July 13, 1988
3. PUBLIC HEARING: PCZ-88-O - CONSIDERATION TO PREZONE 1.11 ACRES ADJOINING
THE EASTLAKE BUSINESS CENTER TO P-C PLANNED COMMUNITY
ZONE - EASTLAKE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
Associate Planner Griffin stated that the property is a triangular 1.11 acre
piece abutting the northerly line of lots 13, 14, 15 and 44 within the
EastLake Business Center. Approval of the request would prezone the property
to P-C Planned Community subject to the Business Center Manufacturing District
Regulations of the EastLake Plan. Following the prezoning the property could
then be annexed and incorporated into those lots to increase their depth and
usability. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan and also the
development regulations which apply to the lots to the south and staff
recommends approval.
This being the time and the place as advertised, the public hearing was opened.
Commissioner Tugenberg asked if Miller Drive on the east side of Boswell would
be eliminated in order to put the four lots together. The reply was in the
affirmative.
No one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
MSUC (Casillas/Fuller) (6-0) that based on the Initial Study and comments on
the Initial Study and Negative Declaration, to find that this project will
have no significant environmental impacts and adopt the Negative Declaration
issued on IS-88-86.
MSUC (Casillas/Fuller) (6-0) to recommend that the City Council enact an
ordinance to prezone 1.11 acres adjoining the EastLake Business Center to P-C
Planned Community Zone (EastLake Business Center District B-2) as shown on
Exhibit A attached to the staff report.
OTHER BUSINESS: GENERAL PLAN UPDATE: OPEN SPACE POLICIES REPORT
Director of Planning Krempl introduced Bud Gray, General Plan Coordinator, and
Gary Wood, P&D Technologies, and remarked that the item had been before the
Commission twice at workshops. He referenced suggestions made regarding a
break-point in the slope and additional density consideration as to the number
of units allowed and that the Commission had directed staff to return with
some hillside guidelines to ensure compatible development within the hillside
area. Since that time, Staff has met with representatives of Buie, UNOCAL,
CROSSROADS, City staff and the General Plan Consultant and has solicited
examples of hillside development regulations, ordinances and guidelines from
them and from other jurisdictions in the State and around the Country. Staff
has also discussed the Buie property in terms of specific development
proposals and how those hillside areas might be treated.
The conclusion is a three-fold recommendation:
Planning Commission -5- July 13, 1988
1. Allow no encroachment into open space designated as such on Scenario 4 of
the Chula Vista General Plan. Staff feels that the open space designated
on the General Plan should remain as such because it defines steep
hillsides, canyons, transition areas, natural land forms and the total
open space network planned in combination with the development areas and
the residential development intensities that are already contemplated in
the Plan.
Staff recommends no additional change of the 1 du/lO acres density
allowance within the open space designated lands to avoid inverse
condemnation. Individuals with large ownerships would be encouraged to
have those units transferred from the steep slope lands onto the
developable portion of the property. This would only be in cases where
the project was entirely surrounded by open space and would be developed
at a very low density of 1 du/lO acres. That density is somewhat
consistent with the initiatives on the ballot in November in both the City
and County of San Diego and the sensitive lands initiative which is being
studied as potential alternate measures.
In sum, staff recommends (1) no encroachment into open space and (2)
density transfer under limited circumstances at 1 du/lO acres.
2. The second part of the recommendation speaks to hillside design and
development guidelines. In the Commission's packet, staff included a
sample (for illustrative purposes only) of a development overlay ordinance
used by the City of San Diego. Staff intends (after the implementation of
the General Plan) to return with ordinances which would further define and
carry out the intent of the General Plan and the hillside development
guidelines. With these guidelines, staff believes key components
regarding grading and how the hillside development should be treated have
been covered and will indicate to people the City's intent in terms of
hillside development.
3. Staff is recommending a modification to the General Plan which would add
some 26 acres to the residential low 0-3 du/acre category to the southerly
portion of Bonita Meadows property. One reason is in conformance with the
Commission's request to allow hillside development property for hillside
and estate-type housing. Designating the land within the Bonita Meadows
property for low density would be more appropriate than tinkering with the
General Plan policy which would have repercussions for other properties
within the General Plan area. If, in the future, UNOCAL or another
project within the General Plan area, were able to convince staff, the
Commission and Council that it was appropriate to add more land into the
general development category, staff would be willing to consider the idea
subject to compliance with the hillside criteria, the ordinances, policies
and related documents. That, however, would be viewed as a General Plan
Amendment because the General Plan would already have been enacted and in
place. Director Krempl continued that the change to the general
development area is suggested because of a set of circumstances and the
fact that Buie has done extensive work and made extraordinary progress in
Planning Commission -6- July 13, 1988
modifying their proposal by reducing the density, preserving the natural
land form of all four of the noses of land (their steep slope that defines
the character of that property), and the development grading is following
the contours and is essentially limited to the pad. In addition, the lot
orientation, the treatment of open space, the grading, contouring and the
entire development is far improved over where consideration began several
months ago. The Director said he would like to credit both the land
planners, the Buie Corporation and Estrada Land Planning who have worked
on this proposal cooperatively with staff. Staff is very pleased with the
progress made.
Gary Wood, P&D Technologies, General Plan Consultant, stated that the draft
Hillside Design Development Guidelines have been formed by information
contained in many other guidelines collected from various sources and
customized to the situation within Chula Vista. Its organization is based on
a general policy statement with a series of guidelines by various categories.
Mr. Wood made the distinction that what is being presented to the Commission
falls into the category of guidelines consistent with what should be in a
General Plan. He pointed out the difference between standards (which are much
more specific) and guidelines which delineate the type of information and
procedures desired by Chula Vista.
In response to the Director's affirmative reply that the 0-3 density was
according to the new description in the General Plan in which the target would
be 1.5, Commissioner Tugenberg asked if it would not be easier to incorporate
something of this nature into UNOCAL at the present time so that the open
space is registered in the General Plan. The Director replied that the open
space was already in Scenario IV as far as the UNOCAL property was concerned.
At this juncture, without more definitive planning by UNOCAL, staff can do
nothing further, and barring that information has taken what is considered to
be the best position.
This being the time and the place, the public hearing was opened for the
hillside criteria discussion only.
Will Hyde, 803 Vista Way, Chula Vista, representing CROSSROADS, spoke in
support of Recommendations 1 and 2 for the open space policies for the General
Plan. He strongly commended staff for the conclusions reached, the subsequent
recommendations, and is a staunch supporter of designated open space remaining
so unless it is processed for an amendment of a General Plan.
With regard to Recommendation 3, Mr. Hyde commented that it seems that staff
has said that the areas designated as open space should remain so unless a
General Plan Amendment is pursued and then reverses itself by saying "except
for this area shown on Attachment #2, which the Buie Corporation has
recommended (that would normally fall in the open space category) should be
permitted." Mr. Hyde declared a matter of principle was involved in that if a
policy is established, it should be maintained except for the appropriate
procedure to change it. He requested that consideration be given to taking no
action on Recommendation #3 but permitting it to pass forward to the Council
during Scenario IV as a part of the General Plan process.
Planning Commission -7- July 13, 1988
Charles Gill, 600 B Street, Suite llO0, representing the Buie Corporation the
proponents for Bonita Meadows, said that Tony Lettieri would follow and
address some of the specific planning concerns presented in the staff report
and as raised by Mr. Hyde. Mr. Gill expressed appreciation to staff and
indicated concurrence with the recommendations both in the criteria developed
and the proposal relating to the Bonita Meadows property. He maintained that
the criteria developed was appropriate and stringent but would provide
creative, innovative development on hillsides sensitive to a specific, unique
environment. With reference to the 0-3 density, he asked if the target was
not 2 du/acre as opposed to 1.5. Director Krempl affirmed the correction and
then responded to Mr. Hyde's critique saying that not all of the property
shown or being added in the 0-3 was over 25%. The upper portion was but the
lower portion was not.
Mr. Gill commented that not only on Buie's property but on others there are
instances existing in the General Plan where areas in excess of 25% are not
mandatorily placed within the open space designation. Such instances include
25% slopes that, because of isolated areas, are necessary either for
development of the specific site or are not of a nature that is sensitive or
of regional or local importance warranting protection.
Tony Lettieri, 533 "F" Street, San Diego, passed out an llxl7 exhibit of the
site, noting that it was of a generalized nature. He commented that staff's
recommendation to take the lower portion of the property out of the open space
designation not only responded to the issue of development within 25% slope
but also to the open space designation. The area on the south side of the
property is the area within 25% slope and, as shown on the exhibit, all of
those significant land forms are being preserved. The design of the
subdivision would be through non-standard lots to reduced grading and a
proposed circulation system that conforms more to the natural topography than
the exhibit presented at the last meeting. The circulation system meanders
more because of the topographical limitations as well as the natural drainage
courses. Buie proposed the design (and it has been supported by staff in
concept) because of the need to provide more detail showing the relationship
between the criteria and its actual application to this property. Additional
design, grading detail and engineering will be completed and presented to the
Commission at a tentative map and precise plan stage and problems with the
criteria would evident at that time. Mr. Lettieri noted that staff has
provided a technique {even through the General Plan Amendment process) to show
that a good project could be developed within the open space designation. Mr.
Lettieri contended that Buie is willing to modify the original recommendation
regarding open space if they we can develop a project on the lower portion of
that slope which conforms to the hillside criteria to the letter of the law.
Specifically, there are 267 acres on Bonita Meadows, approximately 15 to 20
acres over 25% slope are shown as either street or lots. That is less than
any of the requests Buie made regarding the 25% encroachment presented to the
Commission before.
Commissioner Tugenberg asked the anticipated size of the lots for these 52
homes. Mr. Lettieri said that the lots would be smaller than the original
proposal to reduce grading and would probably be 72 to 100 feet in depth and
90 to 100 feet in width.
Planning Commission -8- July 13, 1988
Tim Kruer, 2643 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, representing Sunbow, said he would
like to limit his comments to Recommendation 2 and that they do not oppose the
incorporation of a hillside design and development guidelines but support the
concept. Sunbow feels, however, that the guidelines should be enacted into an
hillside review overlay ordinance similar to that of the City of San Diego or
other municipalities and not be included in the General Plan. He expressed
concern about the comments on page 2 referring to slopes in excess of 15%
since 25% has always been the number used. He stated it is important to
recall in the development of the open space area that a substantial part in
all of the eastern territories properties came from the 25% slope. In
Sunbow's case, approximately 40% of the open space Iwhich is a total of 1/3 of
the second phase) is less that 25% slope but is being given as open space.
Their other concerns are related to the guidelines themselves specifically
2.33 which discusses that grading should be confined to a building pad and not
extend to the entire lot. In concept, Sunbow agrees on large lots but it will
be counter-effective in cases where clustering is desired because it will
remove rear yards from the 6,000 and 7,000 foot lots to be built. Another
concern involves 2.42 which discusses hazardous areas such as landslides,
unstable soils and fault zones. He considers that in some cases these are
mitigable without major grading and 2.42 would say, in effect, that many of
these areas would not be developed within the hillside. The major concern is
the 15% because the major part of the eastern territories is in 15% slopes or
more and there is concern about the impacts that would have.
Wayne Loftus, representing UNOCAL, said they had reviewed the standards for
the hillside development and are concerned that the standards are cutting in
at 15%. They are particularly concerned because if comments are limited to
the developable portion of the property, the southerly portion (560 acres)
will further limit UNOCAL's ability to achieve the dwelling unit opportunity
last identified by staff. Many sites with soil conditions can be dealt with
in an engineering and land-planning fashion and he was concerned that these
are summarily excluded from the opportunity even though more open space is
created.
The last comment is regarding the process. His concern relates to a
discrepancy in the process between the developers who have determined they are
able to be pro-active with the project at this point in time (such as Buie)
and the other developers who can't afford that. They will have to go through
a General Plan Amendment at a later point in time which may very well be the
coup de gras for that project. Mr. Loftus stated that in order to accomplish
some equity, language must be developed to identify that opportunity for all
the properties in the area without the requirement of a General Plan
Amendment. Everyone would then have the same opportunity through a process
(not a General Plan Amendment) to convince the Planning Commission and the
City Council that there is merit to their project in dealing with the
standards that staff proposes. Maybe another option would be that developers
be given the opportunity between now and the time that hearings actually
begin, to come forward with a plan and work with staff. Mr. Loftus concluded
that it seems that the process so far has been inequitable because those that
have been able to be very pro-active have benefited from it more than
developers who wanted to see some conclusion to the process before they
proceed.
Planning Commission -9- July 13, 1988
No one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Tugenberg referenced page 2 and asked why the figure 15% is used
instead of the customery 25%. Director Krempl replied that there is nothing
in the Recommendations which speak to 15%. It is strictly in the discussion
of what would perhaps ultimately be hillside ordinances. All staff was saying
is that there is also hillside property that is less than 25% and if we have
valid criteria for development of slopes, we ought to look at that in the
context of the hillside whether it's 25% or less or whatever the number might
be.
Commissioner Cannon said he had a number of comments. He has changed his
position considerably. He commented that he doesn't think there has ever been
a particular item that he looked at more closely since he has been on the
Commission, and after observing the incredible angles of the 25% slope he has
gone to staff's recommendation he thinks that should remain open space in
all instances. Recommendation #2 is just a guideline for hillside development
- not a specific thing. It says "should" instead of "shall" and doesn't have
anything particularly onerous to developers. They are guidelines for
development that someone needs to look at before they develop on hills and he
would certainly support a 15% slope beginning on that. On Recommendation #3,
he agreed with Mr. Hyde. A policy decision cannot differentiate from one
developer to another. This is particularly pointed out by the last speaker
who just indicated that if the inroads on one are opened, a criterion will
have to be developed to open inroads for others. Commissioner Cannon said he
agreed with that position. "If we have open space on 25% slopes, we don't
encroach into them and we don't provide development on them regardless of how
nice that development may look in the planning stages."
Commissioner Tugenberg said his attitude has changed also. He can easily go
along with Recommendation 1 and 2 but could not recommend #3 to the City
Council. There is not enough information to base it on. Mr. Cannon was
absent at the last workshop but it got around to the lack of a certain type of
product available in the City of Chula Vista and our main concern was to open
up large lots 1 du on 5 or 10 acres for the high and estate lot and we were
hoping that a possible encroachment onto the open space might afford some sort
of product to that end. This potential 52 homes on 25 acres does not achieve
the kind of product we think the City lacks.
Commissioner Fuller added that staff and the developer worked diligently to
come up with the product requested which was a need for estate-sized lots.
She agreed, however, that it was inappropriate for the Commission to approve a
policy of no encroachment into open space, to suggest a hillside design and
development guideline and then to suggest Recommendation 3 to Council at this
time.
Commissioner Casillas stated that he would commend staff and the consultants
for the great job done in drawing up the draft hillside design and development
guidelines. However, they are guidelines and guidelines can be changed. He
too has some concern about Recommendation 3 relating to equity in this process
Planning Commission -10- July 13, 1988
and what happens to those land owners that are not up to a given point in the
development process. By adopting this Recommendation 3 one particular
developer will be getting a bonus as it were, because of getting into the
pipeline a little earlier. On the other side of that issue, however, the
Commission instructed staff to work with the group and attempt to establish or
develop a mechanism or process that might test what might be done with the 25%
slope situation. They have done so whether or not it is finite enough to meet
some of the goals or discussions that we have had. The Commissioner said he
would like to see more specific information on what the lot would look like
and to defer action on that item until that time.
MSUC (Cannon/Tugenberg) to approve the policy of no encroachment into open
space as per the recommendation in the staff report.
MSUC (Cannon/Tugenberg) to approve the hillside design and development
guidelines as they were proposed in draft to us for inclusion in the General
Plan.
Commissioner Cannon remarked that since there was really no approval of a
modification before the Commission, then no action on Recommendation 3 would
be necessary. He would like it on the record however that, at least, in his
estimation Recommendation 3 would not fit into the guidelines that have just
been approved because certain portions of it would fit the criterion for open
space that have now been included (apparently) in low density residential
which he sees as being inconsistent and inappropriate.
Commissioner Tugenberg suggested that a vote be taken to indicate to Council
the feelings of the entire Commission.
MSUC /Tu§enberg/Fuller) to disapprove Recommendation #3.
The Chair said that the Commissioners wished to express their appreciation to
staff and the developers for their many hours of effort and working on this
particular item. She also thanked Mr. Hyde and Mr. Loftus for pointing out
the need to be fair to all developers.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
Director Krempl noted that there is a workshop next Wednesday and the subject
for discussion will be the 70/30 policy regarding density transfer and
clustering which was a referral to the Commission from the Council.
- He noted some of the hand-out information items provided included a
letter, dated 11/23/87, to Mr. Paul Green from the City Attorney's
office. The letter was furnished by Mr. Green with the request that it be
distributed to the Commission.
- The other distribution is the draft of two measures which the County is
contemplating putting on the ballot for November as an alternative to the
rural preservation and growth management issue. The first measure would
Planning Commission -ll- July 13, 1988
be a binding measure specifying quality of life standards and certain
other components and the other measure would be an advisory measure having
to do with regional land-use planning and the formation of a growth
management review board at the regional level. With respect to the
binding measure, there is a missing component which will be furnished as
soon as it become available. That will deal with sensitive lands.
Finally, he noted that Dr. Cummings had submitted signatures in support of
his initiative (over 9,000 signatures) and the preliminary information is
that it will qualify and will be going to the City Council on the 26th of
this month for their consideration and to do one of two things - either
put it on the ballot for November 8 or adopt it into Ordinance without
change.
The Commission said they had not received a copy of Paul Green's letter,
whereupon the Secretary passed an extra copy to them for review.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS:
Commissioner Casillas asked if at the next workshop Mr. Larsen, the Building
and Housing Director, could be present to give a general overview of
permitting functions, inspection, quality standards, landscaping when required
and so forth.
Commissioner Cannon said that judging by the letter to Mr. Green, the City
Attorney would be going forward with the procedure needed to enforce the
ordinance.
Deputy City Attorney Fritsch said she had been in Court with Mr. Green and the
judge imposed a fine of $160. The Attorney's office has contacted the Zoning
Enforcement Officer asking for initiation of the summary abatement procedures
and there will be ultimately a hearing before the Abatement Board.
