Council also requested staff to bring back an ordinance in one week which would effectuate a moratorium on residential tentative maps. RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt ordinance. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: .Staff's understanding of Council's intent with regard to a tentative map moratorium is as follows: that it would apply to residential proposals, that those proposals could be filed and given preliminary review, that staff's final recommendations and proposed conditions of approval would be withheld, and that no Planning Commission public hearing or action would be entertained on a tentative map. The moratorium would run for 90 days and be in effect for the area east of I-805. It should be pointed out that Eastlake I would not be affected by such a moratorium on tentative maps as they are controlled by a separate development agreement with the City of Chula Vista. That agreement is overriding except in the instance of a moratorium which is city-wide as opposed to one for a certain geographic area such as the area east of I-805. Otay Rio Business Park contains a residential and industrial component but only the industrial portion is moving forward at this point in time; thus, there is no necessity for considering any exemption for that project as mentioned in a subsequent public hearing agenda item. The Otay Rio project will be before the City Council on July 28, 1987 (continued from 7/21/87). • • Page 2, Item 4 Meeting Date 7/21/87 Bonita Long Canyon and Rancho Del Sur I both have approved tentative maps at this point in time (although Del Sur's cannot be used until the rezoning is completed) as does Bel Air Ridge. E1 Rancho Del Rey and Eastlake Greens have filed tentative subdivision maps but neither would be before the Planning Commission within the next 90 days. Eastlake Greens and Rancho Del Sur II are encompassed, along with certain other Eastern Area Projects, by the General Plan Amendment Moratorium as well. One further project pending currently is the Terra Nova Tentative Map for a 360-unit project on the last remaining parcel within the Terra Nova Community. The property has already been approved for a 360-unit condo project along with a tentative and final map. The applicant is now proposing to change product type and go to detached as well as attached units. This would be accomplished through a resubdivision with no increase in allowed density. Council may want to consider this as an exception. Other projects of various types have been discussed in a preliminary fashion with staff but are not yet "in the pipeline". Those and any future submittals would obviously be fully affected. FISCAL IMPACT: Some short-term unknown impact on subdivision revenues to the City. The private sector impact is not known. •WPC 4093P by the City Counci{ of Chu{a Vista, California Dated • COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT • Item 4 // Meeting Date 8/4/87 ITEM TITLE• Resolution ~~~ ~4~ Summarily vacating a portion of North • Second Avenue at "C" Street `~ SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer ~~~ REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~~~{~y' (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X ) Wayne Clark and Mascot Realty, owners of a parcel of land on the east side of North Second Avenue, have made application to vacate a 14-foot-wide strip of right-of-way along the frontage of that parcel. The California Streets and Highways Code provides that the City Council may order the vacation by resolution if it determines that the right-of -way is not necessary. RECOMMENDATION: That the Council approve the subject resolution ordering the summary vacation of a portion of North Second Avenue. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: • Background The County of San Diego established Road Survey, No. 670 in 1935. It was known as Edgemere Avenue at that time. The right-af-way width was originally 40 feet. An additional 10 feet of right-of-way on the west side was dedicated by recordation of Decker's Subdivision No. 3 in 1947 giving 20' east of and 30' west of centerline. In 1968, the owner of the 1 and lying on the easterly side of Road Survey No. 670 dedicated an additional 22 feet along the easterly right-of-way line for a total of 42 feet east of the centerline and 30 feet west of the centerline. This dedication resulted in a total right-of-way width of 72 feet at this point in the road. The City acquired the County' s right-of-way when i t annexed the area i n 1985. On April 27, 1987, the present owners of the parcel applied to the City requesting a vacation of a 14-foot-wide strip of the right-of-way on the east side of the road (see Exhibit "A"). Findin s In 1978, the City undertook the task of realigning its portion of North Second (formerly Edgemere Avenue) from Bayview Way to Route 54. Due to the fact that there is no proposed interchange at Route 54, the right-of-way width was set at 60 feet, our standard fora residential collector. • Page 2, Item 4 • Meeting Date~7~787- Improvements were installed in about 1957 along a portion of the easterly side of Second Avenue south of "C" Street. The curb line was placed at 18 feet east of the centerline. The westerly curb is 22 feet from centerline, resulting in the required 40-foot total width. The recently-approved map of Hudson Valley Estates Unit No. 2 abuts the subject property on the south. This proposal provides for the northerly extension of the existing curb along with 10 feet of right-of-way behind the curb. All utility companies have been contacted regarding their needs for any easements or their objections. They have responded and are in concurrence with the proposed vacations. Staff has determined that if the vacation is approved, a slope easement should be retained in the northerly 60 feet due to the adjacent drop in terrain on the east side of the existing pavement. This easement will be reserved in the resolution of vacation. Upon development of the subject property, the owners will be required to install all necessary public improvements and place the necessary fill upon their property to accommodate the curb, gutter and sidewalk. After completing the improvements, the slope easement will not be needed. • Under Chapter 4, Section 8334 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the Council may summarily vacate an excess right-of-way not required for street purposes.
