The PUBLIC HEARING on APPEAL of PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to ALLOW the SALE of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES as
an INCIDENTAL USE in conjunction with a bona fide public eating place type
10/23/84
Book 65/Page 42
premises (Type 41 Liquor License) at 1479 Plaza Blvd., Applicant: Delia V. Ramos,
CUP-1984-18 (...involves the proposed sale of alcoholic beverages [beer and wine]
in conjunction with a bona fide public eating place located within the Plaza Square
Shopping Center, on the north side of Plaza Blvd. adjacent to 'N' Ave.; this
restaurant provides seating for approximately 88 patrons; within a 1,400' radius of
the subject premises, there are three Type 41 On —Sale Beer and Wine Liquor
Licenses, two Type 47 On —Sale General Liquor Licenses, and two Type 21 Off —Sale
General Liquor Licenses; at the public hearing before the Planning Com mission, the
Police Dept. voiced concern over whether this facility will be operated as a bar or
as a restaurant; previous problems with the location were cited and concern was
expressed over a recent advertisement by the new owner for "Happy Hour"; staff
concurs with the Planning Com mission's denial) was held at this tim e. Planning
Director Post said we have received a letter from Attorney Henry Empeno
requesting that the Planning Com mission's "denial" be changed to "denial without
prejudice". HENRY EMPENO (Attorney representing the former owner), 711 E.
16th St., was present and said his client is not asking for a reversal of the
Planning Commission's decision, but for "denial without prejudice" so that any buyer
could apply for a CUP within the next twelve months; the restaurant has been
closed down since September 2; there is no ABC license for the premises; Carol
Aure surrendered her license on June 24; he is asking that Council keep the options
open with respect to development of this area; they are asking that any new owner
be allowed to submit an application for a liquor license; the Planning Dept. is
concerned about the number of liquor licenses in that area, but it is not an area
where they are being overly proliferated; his client's restaurant was the only one in
the area that has had violations; his client admits she has had problems with the
City and with ABC, but is asking that a new owner be allowed to apply for a
liquor license; she is presently negotiating with other persons to purchase her
interest in the property; his client Carol Aure has no intention of maintaining any
interest in the property; she has four years remaining on her lease and she is
attempting to get released from the lease. MILTON LEVINE (owner of the
shopping center), 4410 Glacier, Suite 104, San Diego, was present and said he
presently has four vacancies in the shopping center and he would like to get them
filled; the property in question was designed for a restaurant; he would like to re—
lease it as a restaurant, but it would not be viable without a beer and wine
license; he is requesting that Council deny this application without prejudice so that
he can obtain a new tenant. Vice Mayor Waters inquired if Mr. Levine was aware
that his existing tenant was having difficulties. Mr. Levine replied not until he
received his notice of public hearing; he drives by there frequently, but has never
seen evidence of the problems; he has a regular patrol service, but they have not
reported any problems. Discussion. BRENT BARNES, 5747 Sprinter Lane, Bonita,
was present and said he is the former attorney for Carol Aure and is familiar with
her problems; he no longer has an attorney/client relationship with Mrs. Aure; the
property was sold to Mrs. Ramos whose CUP was turned down; he believes there is
room for a profitible, well —run Phillipine food restaurant there. Further discussion.
Councilman Cooper said he was told Mr. Barnes encouraged his client to break the
law. Mr. Barnes said that was not true. POLICE CHIEF HART was present and
said the Police Dept. has no position on how Council should or should not deny this
appeal; they have never protested the restaurant on the basis of where it is
located; they have had problems in the past with the way the business was
operated which resulted in the liquor license being surrendered; if Mrs. Aure is
going to be involved, he would protest; when Mr. Barnes was representing Mrs.
Aure, he was told by Mrs. Aure that Mr. Barnes advised her she could operate in
violation; if we could get a statement from Mrs. Aure's attorney that she has no
intention of remaining in operation of the business, they would have no protest.
Further discussion. Mr. Barnes said he has many clients who do things and then
when they get caught, they will say their lawyer said it was OK; Council is not
being asked to decide on the merits of anybody at this point; he has not signed any
contract and Mrs. Aure can sell the business to anybody she wants to. Further
discussion. Mr. Barnes continued, if he buys the restaurant, it will be Phillipine
food; it will be on a par as far as price and quality with the Black Angus.
Councilman VanDeventer said he doesn't think we should deny the CUP because it
would be a hardship on the owner and the people who are trying to operate a
restaurant there. Mr. Empeno said his client has told him she has no intention of
retaining any interest or involvement in this restaurant. Discussion re the
possibility that if Mrs. Aure sold the business and the new business did not succeed,
she still has four years to go on her lease; she still has to pay the rent; would she
then have any interest in the business. Mr. Empeno said his client is interested in
maintaining her obligation to the owner; she does have an obligation to pay the
10/23/84
J
Book 65/Page 43
rent; she is trying to salvage her losses. Discussion re the Beer and Wine License.
Interim City Attorney Tobin said Beer and Wine Licenses are issued to an
individual; if an individual bails out, it would be up to ABC to transfer it; a CUP
cannot be conditioned to disallow a person from being connected with a business;
we cannot restrict it on that basis. Further discussion. Mr. Levine said under no
conditions would he permit Mrs. Aure to operate a business in his shopping center
again; she is in arrears on her rent; his attorney has filed an unlawful detainer.
No one else was present to speak in this regard. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded
by Waters, the Public Hearing be closed and the CUP be denied without prejudice.
Carried, by the following vote, to —wit: Ayes: Cooper, Dalla, Van Deventer, Waters.
Nays: None. Abstaining: Morgan.
The PUBLIC HEARING to CONSIDER ZONE VARIANCE to ALLOW REDUCTION in
the number of OFF—STREET PARKING SPACES required in conjunction with a
MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING, including normally appurtenant uses such as X—ray,
dispensary, etc., at 305-315 East 12th Street, Applicant: Gabriel Arce, Z-3-83 (The
matter of zone variance to allow a reduction in the number of off—street parking
spaces required in conjunction with an outpatient Mental Health Counseling Center
at 12th & 'D' has been continued from time to time since June, 1983; things have
changed since the original submittal; San Ysidro Health Center no longer desires to
have their mental clinic at 12th & 'D'; however, they do want to have a medical
office and utilize the entire building; approval of this zone variance would allow
the entire building to be used; See Document No. 71199; staff would recom mend
approval if the applicant can make the required findings) was held at this time.
Planning Director Post said staff has passed by this facility numerous times and has
not observed any problems. ALAN PERRY (attorney representing applicant),
Central Savings Tower, San Diego, was present and displayed renderings of the
proposed facility, saying the building contains 4,900 sq. ft. and there are 16 parking
spaces; a year ago, the applicant converted 3,200 sq. ft. for use; at this time the
applicant proposes to expand the vacant area to create examining rooms, X—ray,
office facilities, a small pharmacy and a waiting room; during the month of August,
the Director of the National City Facility, Mrs. Turner, conducted surveys of the
parking facilities and conducted an investigation among their clients as to modes of
transportation; the off—street parking spaces are principally along 12th; during the
period of the survey, there was an average of 30 cars per day with the maximum
being 37; there will be one additional employee (X—ray technician) as a result of
this expansion. Councilman Cooper said he has driven past there several times and
he has never seen the parking lot full. Mr. Perry continued, the clinic hands out
pink slips to the patients asking them to park in the parking lot. M RS. TURNER
(Administrator, Family Clinic) was present and said the staff presently consists of 8
persons plus several doctors equaling about 2 full—time physicians; several of the
staff members carpool and some of them park on 12th St., but most of them park
in the parking lot. Discussion. Vice Mayor Waters said he understood the
employees were told to park on the street. Mrs. Turner said that is not true.
Vice Mayor Waters said he had individuals observe their parking schedules; they
park quite a bit on 'D' Ave. and a lot of their vehicles are parked on the City
streets; the neighbors have been complaining about them parking on the street.
Mrs. Turner said none of the employees are parking on 'D' Ave.; they have given
their pink slips to the neighbors to give out to patients who are parking on the
street. Further discussion. Mrs. Turner said after the expansion, they will expect
about 800 visits per month. GEORGIA GUARANO, owner of 1131 & 1133 'C' Ave.,
was present and said the Monday before last the parking spaces along 12th St. were
full; 'C' St. was full in front of her house; she had to pull into her driveway,
unload her car and then park across the street; there is a need for this clinic; a
lot of people go to this clinic; they are standing on the sidewalk when it opens in
the morning; the parking spaces are small and difficult for people with large cars;
to open the remainder of this building and have extra facilities would detain the
patients that much longer; it will keep the parking lot and street congested; on the
weekends when the clinic is closed, young people park in the parking lot and throw
trash and litter in her yard; they have a chain on the parking lot; it would be nice
if they would use it; she would like Council to deny this request for zone variance.
Discussion. MITCH GUARANO, 410 Harbison, was present and said 12th & 'D' is
red —zoned and numerous times there have been cars parked there; the property
owner at 1120 'D' told him he has found vehicles from the clinic parked in his
driveway; other times they have parked in front of his driveway; expanding the
clinic will compound the problems; there are often vehicles from the clinic parked
on 'C' Ave.; he would like to see the zone variance denied. Councilman
VanDeventer inquired if the applicant had attempted to acquire property to expand
10/23/84
Book 65/Page 44
the parking lot. Alan Perry said Mr. Arce had made an offer to acquire the
adjoining property, but they were not able to get together on the price.
Discussion. M R. ARCE (Executive Director, San Ysidro Health Clinic), 2775
Blackshoe Lane, San Ysidro, was present and said he met a few times with Mr. &
Mrs. Guarano and they discussed the possible purchase of their property; they
indicated an interest in selling, but were concerned about Mrs. Guarano's mother
who lives in the 'C' Ave. property; he offered the Guaranos a price in excess of
the property value, but the Guaranos indicated they wanted more money. Further
discussion. Councilman VanDeventer said if this hearing were continued, possibly
the clinic and the Guaranos could reach some kind of agreement. Further
discussion. No one else was present to speak in this regard. Moved by
VanDeventer, seconded by Morgan, the Public Hearing be continued to
November 13. Carried, by the following vote, to —wit: Ayes: Dalla, VanDeventer,
Morgan. Nays: Cooper, Waters.

OTHER BUSINESS
The report on PLANNING COM MISSION ACTION on an APPEAL by BAY CITY
MARINE, INC. regarding the use of a MOBILE OFFICE TRAILER at 1204 West
32nd Street (This item was continued from the October 9 City Council meeting so
that a representative from Bay City Marine, Inc. could be present to discuss the
matter with the City Council; a letter was mailed to Mr. Irving Refkin, General
Manager of Bay City Marine on October 10, 1984 informing him of the continuance
and requesting that a representative be present at the October 23 Council meeting;
See Document No. 71200; staff recommends that Council affirm the decision of the
Planning Commission by ordering the abatement of the mobile office trailer by
April 20, 1985 and that the applicant be instructed to reapply for a new CUP) was
presented. Vice Mayor Waters said the business that leases this property is
between a rock and a hard place; the Port District will not allow them to build a
building and Council will not let them use a trailer. Planning Director Post said
there seems to be some difficulty with the two jurisdictions having control; the
operation was originally supposed to be a temporary use for one year; there was a
possibility of an extension of the CUP, but the applicant never came back and
applied for the extension. IRVING REFKIN (Vice President and General Manager,
Bay City Marine), 4960 N. Harbor Dr., San Diego, was present and said when they
leased the property from the Port District, it was for one year with a 30—day
closeout if the Port District needed the property; he talked to Don Nay of the
Port District today and was told he could build something on the property as long
as it could be removed in 30 days; he is willing to put the trailer on a foundation
if it would satisfy the Planning Commission. Councilman Cooper said a couple
years ago, the Building Dept. came up with a drawing of what could be done with
trailers on the West side (enclosing the trailers and removing the wheels); it was an
excellent idea for the West side which is basically an industrial area. Councilman
VanDeventer said modular units are available and are not much more costly than
trailers; the schools have used them for some time now. Discussion. Moved by
Cooper, seconded by VanDeventer, Mr. Refkin be referred to Bldg. & Safety
Director Reid to see what they can work out and Mr. Reid to bring back a report
to Council on November 27. Councilman Dalla said there is more than one issue
10/23/84
Book 65/Page 46
here; the business was originally intended to be temporary; the business was in
operation before permits (temporary permit for the trailer and a business license)
were obtained; when they were told they needed permits, they applied for a CUP
for one year; the CUP has expired, they do not have a current business license,
and we are trying to figure out a way to make the trailer legal. Discussion. Mr.
Refkin said he got a renewal from the Port District; if Council wants them to
reapply they will do so. Councilman Dalla said he feels the motion is out of order
if the business is in limbo. Further discussion. Councilman Van Deventer advised
Mr. Refkin he has to deal with the Port District and the City of National City as
well. Further discussion. Mr. Refkin said the business is temporary until they can
get additional land from the Port District; they have submitted a number of
requests to the Port District, but the Port District has not come up with another
piece of property; Bumble Bee and Ralston Purina are still holding the leases on
their properties; the City of Chula Vista offered to build them a facility, but that
would be five years away. Further discussion. Motion carried by unanimous vote.
PLANNING COMMISSION — NOTICES OF DECISION
Planning Commission Resolution No. 52-84 APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT to ALLOW the OPERATION of a GASOLINE STATION at 430 E. 8th St.
(...involves the proposed reopening of the Mohawk Gasoline Station at the SE corner
of 8th St. and 'E' Ave.; the site contains a total land area of 17,550 sq. ft. and is
presently developed with two buildings and two gasoline pump islands with canopy
cover; staff concurs with the Planning Com mission's approval) was presented. The
City Clerk reported she has received a letter of appeal of the conditions. Moved
by Cooper, seconded by Van Deventer, this be set for public hearing on November
27. Carried by unanimous vote.
The Finance Director's CONSOLIDATED CASH REPORT for the period ending
September 30, 1984 was presented. Ordered filed by unanimous vote.
The Asst. City Manager's report on DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS, FIRST SA MOAN
CHURCH, 2815 E. 18th St. (On September 18, Council discussed this matter; the
matter was laid over and Council directed staff to do some further study; of
particular interest was whether the subject drainage ditch belongs to the City) was
presented. Mayor Morgan said this church can be built without any interference
with the drainage; in most cases, we help or do the drains in the City and we
should work out some agreement where these people can get their permit and
begin; these people don't have much money; they only have 35 or 40 members and
we should work with them; the engineering staff should go out there and tell us
how far it would be off the drain, and if it is on the drain we should go ahead and
let them build; the church needs to go in there. Discussion. City Engineer
Stafford said he has been out there and the church has done some type of
rudimentary drainage work which he believes could create a dangerous situation;
perhaps the City would want them to take that out and put it back the way it
was. Mayor Morgan said it could be a requirement for the building permit that
they take that out and put it back the way it was; that would be a reasonable
request. Discussion re the drainage easement. Moved by Morgan, seconded by
VanDeventer, staff be authorized to work with the church where they can get a
building permit and be sure they remove all blockage of the drain and get a
drainage easement as long as the City Engineer has the final say. Councilman
Dalla said it is hard to make an exception because it is a church; we approved
their plan, but they did work contrary to their plan; we have a lot of drainage
needs in the City where we have the easement and we can't afford to do them; do
we want to do this on private property? Discussion. Councilman Cooper said he
agrees with the Mayor; this church is struggling; if we have to give them
something or let them get away with something, he is in favor. Further discussion.
Motion carried by unanimous vote.
CITY MANAGER
Asst. City Manager Bolint spoke of the golf course saying the motion that was
made was "to refer the matter to staff to report back", and inquired if staff could
include in the motion, or if we could request that we have authorization to try and
resolve this situation with utility poles to everyone's satisfaction and simply give
Council a report on the resolution of the matter. Mayor Morgan said that was
what he intended in the motion.
CITY ATTORNEY
Interim City Attorney Tobin requested a 5—minute Executive Session on Litigation

MAYOR
Mayor Morgan reported receipt of a letter from Mary Schmidt who works with the
senior citizens saying they would like to hold a fund raiser, the money to be used
for emergency supplies for needy residents; they are requesting to use the
Community Building with a waiver of fees; the seniors use the Community Building
and he thinks we should waive the fees. Asst. City Manager Bolint said this is not
a City group, but there are some City people involved; he believes the janitorial
and utility fees would be applicable. Moved by VanDeventer, seconded by Waters,
in favor of this request with this group paying the janitorial and utility fees, the
rental fee to be waived. Carried by unanimous vote.
Mayor Morgan reported he received word today the $3 million grant was approved
for the second seniors tower.
