STANLEY (Stanley Dodge) requesting a SIX-MONTH PERMIT for a MOBILE SALES OFFICE on property at 30th and National City Blvd. was presented. Councilman Van Deventer said under the procedure Council enacted recently, it was the intention of Council to eliminate trailers in the City; under the procedure if the applicant brings in a set of plans for a permanent structure relating to the project, they would get a one-year extension. Discussion. ERNEST STANLEY, Stanley Dodge, was present and said he owns the property immediately adjacent to the East of the property where the mobile sales office is sitting now; he is not yet completely sure whether they want to take over that quarter of a block which he is now renting to Coast Wholesalers, and build a sales office to accommodate total used car operation running fmm 'A' Ave. to National City Blvd. on 30th; he was not aware that Council had passed the Ordinance restricting mobile sales offices; he received a letter giving them 30 days to move the trailer which he had been operating out of for about 15 years; they just spent several thousand dollars refurbishing the trailer and moving it onto the extended lot. Discussion. Councilman Cooper said the Ordinance allows him to renew the permit if he presents a set of plans; the permit would be good for 6 months and he would have 1 year to build the structure. Planning Director Post said if there was a legal mobile sales office on the site at the time the policy went into effect, that would be correct; Mr. Stanley's trailer was not a legal trailer; it was brought onto the property without any City permits. Mr. Stanley said he was operating out of this trailer before the City required a permit. Vice Mayor Waters inquired if 6 months would be adequate time for Mr. Stanley to complete his study and determine what he intends to do. Mr. Stanley replied it would be. Moved by Waters, seconded by Morgan, in favor of Mr. Stanley's request, and Mr. Stanley to obtain a written permit, and Mr. Stanley sign a writtea_vreement that he will remove the trailer if rules and regulations are not complied with in 6 months. Discussion. City Attorney McLean said when Mr. Stanley gets the trailer permit, he will provide a written statement that within 6 months, he will have plans in for a building. Further Discussion. Carried by unanimous vote. OTHER BUSINESS The Planning Director's DRAFT SPHERE OF INFLUENCE REPORT (This report has been prepared by the Planning Dept. to assist S. D. County's Local Agency Formation Commission [LAFCO] in determining the most realistic "Sphere of Influence" for the City; a Sphere of Influence is defined as the area that a city expects will eventually be contained within its boundaries; this is based on the City's ability to provide sewer, water and other public services; community identity is also a factor; in January, 1983, the First District Court Appeals in San Francisco ruled that before LAFCO can approve an annexation, a Sphere of Influence for each local governmental agency which might include the subject territory must first be adopted; AB 491 modified this action by permitting approval under specific conditions until January 1, 1985; the report identifies unincorporated areas adjacent to the City that have potential for annexation and reviews the public services now received by the residents; there are four areas that could benefit from annexation to National City; Lincoln Acres; five parcels South of Sweetwater Heights Park; 33 acres East of Sweetwater Heights subdivision; and a portion of the Sweetwater channel adjacent to Plaza Bonita; Spheres of Influence adopted for the various cities in the County will be used by LAFCO to determine whether or not annexations should be approved; a major point of contention with LAFCO may be the 285 acre Salt Flats area South of Chula Vista, connected to National City by the bay corridor; LAFCO has indicated they will be giving this area a hard look to determine whether it should be contained within National City's sphere; staff is strongly recommending that the Salt Flats be included) was presented. Moved by Waters, seconded by 6/12/84 Book 64 Page 175 Van Deventer, this report be approved. Councilman Dalla said a couple of the items close off any future possibility of expansion of certain areas; he cannot support this sphere as presently written; he thinks it would be a mistake to eliminate the areas on the SE portion of the City. Discussin. Motion carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Cooper, Van Deventer, Waters, Morgan. Nays: Dalla.

(representing prospective owner), was present and said the project will close escrow on June 25; if the matter is continued to July 10, it will throw the escrow into a problem; the project was unanimously approved at the Planning Commission hearing; there were only two individuals who appeared potentially to be against the project, but when they found out the developer was providing a traffic signal, they had no comments against the project; he does not want it set for public hearing. 6/12/84 Book 64 Page 176 Councilman Van Deventer said in order to change some of the conditions, the matter has to be set for public hearing. Further discussion. Mr. Brown said the owner would accept the Planning Commission conditions.
