(4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
The Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses has begun construction of a new church
at 72 Walnut Drive in Woodlawn Park. The plans were processed through the
County, as the project was started in 1985. As part of this development, the
church was required to submit an Irrevocable Offer to Dedicate 30 feet of
right-of-way for Walnut Drive. The City should now relinquish its interest in
that irrevocable offer.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council: a) adopt a resolution ordering the release
of the offer to dedicate a 30 ft. easement along the northerly boundary of the
subject property, and b) accept the 17.5 foot roadway easement along the
• southerly boundary parallel and adjacent to Walnut Drive.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In October, 1985, the Chula Vista Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses applied
to the County of San Diego for a major use permit to construct a church at 72
Walnut Drive. A condition of approval for the major use permit was that the
owners execute an irrevocable offer to dedicate real property for public
highway within a strip of land 30 feet from the centerline of Walnut Drive
(see Exhibit A).
The owners engaged the services of a local Civil Engineer to author the
description and submit the necessary documents for recordation. The Engineer
made an error in describing the dedication, placing said dedication along the
northerly boundary of the property rather than along the southerly boundary
parallel to Walnut Drive.
The County staff did not discover the error in the description, hence the
offer of dedication placed the future easement in the area in which the church
building is to be located.

The owners attempted to have the County of San Diego relinquish their interest
in the easement. However, this was not possible since, with the annexation,
the City of Chula Vista became the beneficiary of all rights, easements and
rights-of-way that the County previously enjoyed. Consequently, the owners
have applied to the City for the release of said easement.
The document granting the street easement in its correct location has been
executed by the owners and submitted to the Public Works Department. It has
been reviewed and is now submitted for Council acceptance (see Exhibit A).
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
