SAMUEL A. KING, 826 Olive Avenue, was present and stated the land is
zoned for 5-10 units per acre; 64 units (exceeds the density for) the
property, there should be 54 units. Asst. Plan. Dir. Gunnaxson stated
this issue was raised and staff made an analysis and determined that
it was within the density limits; the question that arose had to do
with whether or not the public street which was part of the project
could be included in the total and the Planning Commission allowed that;
the property before development has sufficient size to justify the number
of units; the proposed project includes a public street in the project
area and this is the area of contention that Mr. King raised and was
dealt with by the Planning Commission; they approved the permit as
applied for and as allowed by Code. Mayor Morgan directed Mr. King to
contact the Planning Department regarding any questions he may have on
the project. Carried by unanimous vote,
The HEARING on application for PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT to modify
and/or delete conditions imposed upon the granting of Planned Development
Permit No. 123, Planning Commission Resolution No. 3-79, at 2230 through

8/7/79
225
,Asst. Plan. Dir. Gunnarson stated PUD. 123 was approved by the Planning
Commission in January; and PUD 123 approved the permit for two
triplexes at 2244-6nd 2230 Euclid Avenue subject to 14 conditions; the
applicant now has filed a request to amend or delete 3 of the 14
conditions and those are: (4) "exterior architectural treatment' shown
for front of building shall be continued around all sides of the
building, except west side; (5) use of 'grass-crete' or similar sur-
facing material, at least 10 feet in width on the island strip along
the lot -line separating the two lots; (7) maximum cross fall of five
percent in all parking and driveway areas; the Planning Commission held
a hearing to consider this request and denied the application for
amendment. Mr. Gunnarson reported the latest review showed that of the
14 conditions that there were four that has been satisfied and 10 that
still remain to be completed; there was a question as to whether the
PUD was required; initially the project was approved for two triplexes;
pursuant to a site plan review it was determined that the project which
was under construction was not being built in accordance with the
original plan; by the time this was determined, the new Ordinance
requiring PUD permits for all apartments was in effect; the City
Attorney advised that a Planned Development Permit was required; an
application was submitted and PUD 123 was received by the applicants in
January this year; the applicants will not receive a Certificate of
O ,cupancy on the project until all the conditions have been approved.
TEDDY TAFOYA, 826 Ethel Place, applicant, was present and stated there
is about $20,000 worth of tearing out and redoing which is the reason
the 14 conditions have not been satisfied; most of the work had been
done on the original permit, they had to start all over again. Mayor
Morgan stated this project had been flip-flopped and changed from the
original plan, including the lack of adequate parking. Councilman
Van Deventer asked how many conditions had been originally applied to
the project; Mr. Gunnarson stated 14 conditions were applied to the
plan as Council sees it tonight with the two units facing each other;
before the two units were facing each other they were back to front;
that was a different plan. Discussion. Mrs. Tafoya stated she didn't
create the problem but is caught in the middle. Further discussion.
Mayor Morgan suggested Mrs. Tafoya go over each item with a member of
staff at the site. Mrs. Tafoya stated when she first encountered the
problems she went to Planning Directo. Gerschler and requested help,
Mr. Gerschler asked why doesn't she sue the City. Mayor Morgan directed
Asst. Plan. Dir. Gunnarson to assist Mrs. Tafoya in this regard. Mrs.
Tafoya stated she was unaware of the other items required. Mayor
Morgan requested a report on each of the conditions. Moved by Waters,
seconded by Camacho, this item be continued to August 21st at 7:45 p.m.
Carried by unanimous vote.

consolidate the provisions of the Code regulating certain types of

Engineer Hoffland stated staff has been thinking along that way too;

are good candidates for improvement; they will review those alleys
and place them in one District with boundaries around each alley for an

except those units lying southerly of the southern driveway) was
presented. In answer to the question of how this complies with the
new Open Space Ordinance, Asst, Plan. Dir. Gunnarson said the project
has substantial open space; they haven't made an analysis of how the

of being able to comply with the moratorium; this is a high quality
development with extensive landscaping beyond that required. There was

enforce the requirement of limiting the number of children allowed in
the project, Asst. Plan. Dir. Gunnarson stated that would be done by the

The Planning Commission's recommended DENIAL OF WAIVER OF THE REQUIRE-
MENT OF UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL SERVICE in conjunction with the
development of an industrial building at 1539 Roosevelt (a building
permit authorizing construction of the subject two story industrial
building containing 3,362 sq. ft. was issued by the Building Department
5/17/79; the building is located at the NE corner of 16th and Roosevelt
on a parcel containing 5,750 sq. ft.; land use within the immediate
block consists of two lawful nonconforming residential buildings, one
of which is located immediately to the north of subject building and
two parcels presently under development for industrial use; on 7/3/79
the Council denied a request for waiver of underground utilities in
conjunction with the development of an industrial building located
within the middle of this block; the proponent by letter dated 7/5/79
advised that this request is being made because the SDG&E is having a
great deal of trouble servicing the utilities underground to this new
building; staff concurs with the Planning Commission denial of this
request) was presented. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Waters, this be
denied. BILL HANKINS, applicant, was present and stated his address
is listed incorrectly, it is 1521 Roosevelt Avenue; he agreed there was
a need to do this, but since Council only does it sometimes, where
are you going to draw the line? Mayor Morgan stated Council had only
allowed one that he knew of; he went by 1315 Coolidge Avenue and saw
that the electrical coming from the pole hasn't been hooked up. Mr.
Hankins stated it was hooked up and granted a meter but the project
was sold to an owner who wanted three-phase electric for a machine shop;
the meter is rewired and he is in for overhead electric service which
Council granted him. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Van Deventer, we
authorize staff to check this and see if we can require the new owner
to put his underground utilities in now. There was further discussion.
Amendment carried by unanimous vote. Motion carried by unanimous vote.

TENTATIVE SUBDIVSION MAP for "THE BONITA AFFAIR", between 3110 and 3140

this tentative map; that approval expires after one year; the Council
on 7/21/79 granted an extension to 8/7/79; the subject Agenda Item
Resolution would extend the map to a future date to be specified by
Council, not later than July 21, 1981; staff recommends adoption of
this Resolution with a limit of six months with the understanding that
further extensions could be granted at the discretion of Council) was
presented. Asst. Plan. Dir. Gunnarson stated this request is in
conjunction with a 32-unit condominium project proposed for the south
side of Sweetwater Road, east of the new shopping center site. NICK
DEBBAS, developer, was present and stated this is a quality project;
it's difficult to build a project of this nature on 16th Street next
door to the element on "Q" Avenue; he thought they did an excellent
job in providing housing in that price range on 16th St, There was
discussion regarding the project on 16th Street which haunts Council
as fax as setbacks, green areas, etc.; the new project will have to
be like or nicer than the McMillan project across the street; it has
to be a quality project or it will not be approved. Mr. Debbas' displayed
diagrams of several elevations of the project. Mr. Gunnarson stated
8/7/79

later Council will look at the Planned Unit Development permit, they
will have to refile their application. MIKE ROBERTS, 3252 Fifth Avenue,
an attorney, stated the problem was with the PUD permit which has
expired; there was a question as to extension of the tentative map; he
met with Mr. Gerschler and was told the City Attorney concurred the
continuance was appropriate as long as the developer agreed that they
would not record the final subdivision map until a PUD permit was
approved by Council; this was put in writing to Council agreeing to the
condition. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Camacho, we approve staff's
recommendation on this project. Carried by unanimous vote.
