PUBLIC HEARINGS The Continued Public Hearing on ADOPTION of RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY to CONDEMN PRIVATE PROPERTY for PUBLIC PURPOSES (...continued from November 15, 1983 to answer specific questions; Mr. Terrell Rogers questioned the depth of the taking across his property) was held at this time. City Engineer Benzing said we are matching the existing curb line and taking 12' less right-of-way from Mr. Rogers' property than from the neighboring property up the street; there was some question whether the street should extend the full length of Mr. Rogers, property, but it appears this would cost the City another $7,600; the City made its final offer to Ms. Harrison on September 22; she was offered $300 for her land and $165 for the tree appraisal; the City will enter the amount of $1,800 into the tree agreement, should the tree die within 5 years due to construction of the street; a question was also raised re moving the cul-de-sac easterly; the cul-de-sac would have to be moved 20' easterly in order to miss the Harrison property, and doing so would place the cul-de-sac close to the top of the cut slope for Euclid Ave., placing the curb within 5-10' of the Sims' home; if the City were to try re -designing the cul-de-sac at this point, we would 11/22/83 Book 63 Page 216 have to re -negotiate for additional right-of-way from two other property owners; that would take more time and be more costly. TERRELL ROGERS, 2337 E. 13th St., was present and read into the record a letter written over Mayor Morgan's signature: "I have asked the City Manager to study the land on the West end of 13th Street ti.at the City owns to see about having this portion dedicated for public street purposes to be included in future planning. Everyone should have better access to his property, where two cars can pass each other safely. Something definite must be planned. Needless to say, it is difficult to sell or get loans on property situated on a cul-de-sac where no room to turn around is provided, that will accommodate trash trucks, fire engines, and such other service vehicles as necessary to insure the health and safety of the residents." Mr. Rogers also read an exerpt from the old County Grand Jury: "We feel a very hazardous condition exists at the one -house width roadway at the West end of 13th Street, with a very steep embankment, having no curb, no fence, no guardrail." Mr. Rogers continued, in view of this, Council should reconsider and do something with the West end; the people on the West end deserve a better street; the City is spending a lot of money on the East end making a cul-de-sac and neglecting the people on the West end. Discussion. City Engineer Benzing said this project does not involve a new street on 13th; it only involves the construction of a portion of Euclid Ave..;(Orange extended from 14th St. to 13th St.). Councilman Van Deventer said he is concerned about the large bank on the West end, and asked if some of the hazardous conditions have been considered. Councilman Camacho inquired if a 1911 Act could be considered for 13th and 14th Streets. Further discussion, Mr. Rogers said he did not ask for a 1911 Act. Further discussion. City Engineer Benzing said the City is meeting the existing curbs that are on the street; the existing street is 36' from face of curb to face of curb; the total right-of-way width is 60'; in front of Mr. Rogers' home, we would be matching the existing curb that runs across his neighbor's property. Further discussion. Mr. Rogers continued, C & L (fictitious name of company in which the Mayor's sister has an interest) has a trust deed on property in that immediate vicinity, and possibly the Mayor shouldn't vote on that issue. Mayor Morgan said he has no knowledge of this. Mr. Rogers said the property is on the South side of 14th St., near Orange. City Engineer Benzing said this property is not affected by the project. Mayor Morgan said he asked the DA to look into this project years ago; he checked it out and everything was fine; he (Mayor Morgan) knows nothing about the trust deed. City Attorney McLean said if he has no personal financial interest in the property, it is irrelevant. Discussion, JEANETTE HARRISON, 2435 E. 13th St., was present and said she asked for $300 for her property, $175 for the tree appraisal and $75 for incidental expenses, for a total of $550; the real problem is the amount she wants in the tree agreement in the event the tree should die within 5 years; she wants that to be $2,.400. Discussion. City Engineer Benzing said the City's final offer to Ms. Harrison on September 22 was $300 for land and $165 for the tree appraisal, totalling $465. Ms. Harrison indicated she would agree to a tree agreement in the amount of $2,500. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Waters, the City give Ms. Harrison $550 for her land and tree appraisal, and approve a tree agreement in the amount of $2,500. Discussion. Carried, by the following vote, to -wit; Ayes: Camacho, Della, Waters, Morgan. Nays: None. Abstaining: Van Deventer, Councilman Van Deventer said he is abstaining because his sister owns property on the East side. Moved by Camacho, seconded by 11/22/B3 Book 63 Page 217 Dalla, the Public Hearing be closed and the project proceed subject to all stipulations of staff. Mayor Morgan inquired if there is anything he needs to do to respond to Mr. Rogers' comments. City Attorney McLean replied it is up to the Mayor to decide if he has a financial interest in the property that is benefitted by the project. Further discussion. Carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Dalla, Waters, Morgan. Nays: None. Abstaining: Van Deventer. The Public Hearing on GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT and ZONE CHANGE from CL-PD (Limited Commercial -Planned Development) to a RESIDENTIAL designation to be determined by the City Council, GP-2-83 and ZC-2-83, property located at 3731 Calmoor Way (On July 10, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended that the General Plan and zoning designation of this property be changed from CL-PD to RS-1 [single- family - large lot, 10,000 sq. ft. minimum lot sizes]; Council considered the matter on August 9 and voted to refer it back to the Planning Commission to consider more feasible sizes of,lots for residential development or condominiums; on October 3, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the RS-2 designation, allowing 5,000 sq. ft. lots, and corresponding to the zoning and development of the adjacent Calmoor subdivision; this designation would not allow a condominium project as the Commission chose not to apply the Planned Unit Development Overlay Zone; eteff concurs with the Planning Commission's recommendation) was held at this time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing were on file. ROBERT SMITH (Realtor), 1680 Taft, Lemon Grove, was present and said he feels that one house per 5,000 sq. ft. is in order at this location. No one else was present to speak in this regard. Mayor Morgan said the owner of this property had given it to the Boy Scouts. Moved by Waters, seconded by Van Deventer, the Public Hearing be closed, the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change be approved, and all stipulations of staff be adhered to. Discussion. Carried by unanimous vote. The Public Hearing on APPEAL of PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL of CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to ALLOW a HEALTH SPA and BODY-BUILDING STUDIO at 8-B North Euclid Avenue (Proposed Health Spa and Body -Building Studio will occupy 3,500 sq. ft. of floor area, located within the National City Plaza Shopping Center, NW corner of Euclid Ave. and Division St.; studio provides a completely carpeted work-out area with weights and weight machines, a sauna, whirlpool and shower facilities; this use has been in continuous operation at subject location since sometime prior to July 29, 1983; applicant was advised on several occasions to discontinue use until all necessary permits had been obtained; he failed to do this and the business continues; the Planning Commission approved subject to 2 conditions, and recommended that Council appeal this decision and set the matter for hearing for the reasons that this business has been in continuous operation and has failed to obtain the required permits; staff recommends the conditional use permit be denied) was_held at this time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing were on file. Acting Planning Director Post said the Building Inspector issued a stop work order and instructed the owner to stop work until the necessary permits had been obtained; on August 29, the Planning Commission approved a CUP, owner to submit building plans and to stop use of the premises until the CUP was final; applicant was issued a business license by the City of San Diego. DONALD WILLIAMS, 5102 Cervantes, was present and said the stop work order was issued on August 11; it was to obtain building permits to complete the sauna and jacuzzi; he has complied with every rule; he brought the plans to the City within 4 days; if he had been told to close the business down, he would have done it; he was only told to cease work on the spa; the contractor gunnited the spa on his own time; he (Mr. Williams) was out of town at the time and did not tell the contractor to proceed with the work. 11/22/83 Book 63 Page 218 Discussion. Acting Planning Director Post said the best way to go would be to approve the CUP and let him apply for a building permit. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Waters, the Public Hearing be closed and the CUP approved, subject to all stipulations of staff. City Attorney McLean said the work was done without the required building permit; we have no idea who did the work, if it was done correctly, or if it is safe; the building inspector told him to stop work until he had a building permit, but he did not stop; the Planning Commission approved the use and told him not to continue business until he had a Certificate of Occupancy, but he has continued to operate; if Council wants to let Mr. Williams operate, it would be wise to tell him not to admit any member of the public until the building has been inspected; Council could put some reasonable time limit on it; he (Mr. McLean) wrote Mr. Williams a letter saying the business was in violation, but received no reply. Further discussion. Mr. Williams said he has tried to do what he is supposed to do; he is willing to comply with all the City's rules. Further discussion. Motion carried by unanimous vote. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Van Deventer, the building be inspected tomorrow and if everything is not in order, the business be shut down. Carried by unanimous vote. The Public Hearing on SMALL CITIES GRANT PROGRAM APPLICATION to the State of California (National City can continue to receive Community Development Block Grant Program funds by applying to the State which is administering the Small Cities Program; the purpose of this hearing is to receive views, comments and proposals from citizens, especially those of low and moderate income, minority groups and residents of blighted areas; another hearing is scheduled for January 10, 1984; this hearing should be opened, persons heard, and the hearing continued to January 10, 1984) was held at this time. ARNOLD PETERSON, Executive Director, Community Development Commission, was present and said this is the first of two public hearings of a proposed application to the State for $600,000, $400,000 of which would be for home loans for low and moderate income people and $200,000 for rehabilitation loans for 1-7 rental units.

Carried by unanimous vote. The Public Hearing on PROPOSED "JOBS BILL" (Public Law 98-8) GRANT PROGRAM APPLICATION to the State of California (The State will receive applications from small cities such as National City for its $7.2 million Jobs Bill funds which will be distributed by the State pursuant to its Community Development Block Grant Program regulations and its criteria for Jobs Bill; Jobs Bill is a separate and distinct program and has no relationship to National City's Small Cities Application to the State, which is also $600,000; the purpose of this hearing is to receive views, comments and proposals from citizens, especially those of low and moderate income, minority groups and residents of blighted areas; another public hearing is scheduled for January 10, 1984; this hearing should be opened, persons heard, and the hearing continued to January 10, 1984) was held at this time. ARNOLD PETERSON, Executive Director, Community Development Commission, was present and said this Jobs Bill application has no relation to the previous hearing on Small Cities; they propose a program of concrete work on handicapped pedestrian ramps on the corners in the downtown project. No one was present to speak in this regard. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Camacho, the Public Hearing be continued to January 10. Discussion. Mr. Peterson answered Council's questions. Mr. Peterson said in reading the State's rules and regulations for Jobs Bill, he determined what National City might do that would fit the State's rules, and what would be needed and wanted, and would tie in with our efforts in the downtown project, -Vice Mayor Dalla asked for a summary of the rules and guidelines before the next hearing. Mr. Dalla continued, there are 11/22/83 Book 63 Page 219 a number of things that can be done in the community; in a previous federal project, staff advised Council that these kinds of ;ponies are available, and a suggestion came from Council to do 24th Et. with that money; there may be projects that Council is aware of that may fit the requirements. Further discussion. Mr. Peterson said the orientation of this program is the production of jobs, the hiring of unemployed people, especially long-term unemployed people and minorities; the State thinks in terms of "target areas" and if the application is tied into the downtown project, it might have some appeal to the State. Further discussion. Mr. Peterson continued, the notion is to make a program to employ people who have bean unemployed; the orientation is private. Further discussion.

Discussion. LESLIE CASE, District Administrator, ABC, was present and said he shares Council's alarm at 11/22/83 Book 63 Page 221 the number of liquor licenses in National City; they never recommend issuing a license unless they cannot deny it; if there is any way the license can be stopped, it is the first consideration. Further discussion. Mr. Case described the 5 types of retail licenses. Discussion. Mr. Case continued, there are ways to stop these licenses, such as zoning; the department cannot issue a license if it is contrary to zoning regulations; the City has a right to require conditions on any business that sells beverages of any kind. Further discussion. Mr. Case continued, a license being transferredcannot be conditioned; the conditions on any license follow the license; most of the old licenses have no conditions. City Attorney MoL.ean said if the City zones to prohibit the licenses they do not want, it could possibly exclude the desirable licenses, such as motels, etc. Discussion re developing a CUP process. Mr. Case continued, ABC may deny a license because of undue concentration, or aggravation or creation of a police problem; if the City can prove there is a police problem in a specific area, it can probably be denied.
