Moved by Camacho, seconded by Dalia, Ordinance No. 1606 (11/ 6/� -1) be adopted. DICK GARRETT, President, National City Chamber of Commerce, was present and said the Chamber is grateful to the City staff for the time and assistance that they've put into this Ordinance; the Chamber supports the Ordinance for the following reasons: (1) it puts all types of businessess and professions on a gross revenue basis, therefore it's uniform; (2) this Ordinance recognizes that different businesses operate at different profit levels; (3) the proposed legislation presents a fair and equitable concept of taxation. Mr. Garrett continued the Chamber does remain somewhat concerned about the following items: (1) we have been told that this proposal that "no significant increase in revenue" will take place; according to the figures provided you are currently collecting $150,000 a year from the business license tax, you propose a $30,000 increase this is a 20% increase and that is a significant increase; (2) when looking at the schedule A and C you find many different businesses who are facing increases from 100 to 500 percent, businesses that represent a cross-section of industry within the City, these are businesses that generate sales tax, pay high property taxes and employ large numbers of our citizens; these are the very types of industry that we are saying we are in need of and are seeking at this time; I find these percentages frightening; but the dollar increases are even unlimiteddthe current maximum is $600-650, there is no ceiling in the proposal; some businesses will exceed $3,000 in the first year if the Ordinance is adopted. Mr. Garrett said the City of San Diego business license tax is $25.00 or one/120th of what is being proposed within the City; (3) Schedule C is extremely easy to follow, but it is nearly impossible to calculate; (4) the City Treasurer currently has the power to check books of all businesses, she will retain this authority; the incumbent has not abused this power but Mrs. Kerr will not always be Treasurer; some of the businessmen are extremely concerned about the future wholesale inspection of their books. Mr. Garrett suggested if the Ordinance is approved, sections 9, 19 and 23 be temporarily deleted from the Ordinance and referred back to the joint City -Chamber task force for further review; this task force should be instructed to submit their report prior to the end of January 1978 so as to allow for a timely review and consideration and implementation of this legislation in 1979. Mr. Garrett stated a business that had sales of $30,000,000.00 per annum they would be looking at a fee in the range of $3,000. There was discussion. Councilman Camacho asked if there were any doctors or attorneys present, There were none present. Mayor Morgan stated he was opposed to the ordinance due to the fact that it may drive doctors out of the City. There was further discussion, IDA MAE KERR, City Treasurer, was present and stated she was somewhat confused; and asked if this is the same Ordinance that came up last week because at that time it was voted to be put back into committee; as she stated last week she has run out of time; she has ordered her supplies and this Ordinance going through at this time is really going to mix things up; she agreed that the City should continue to work on the licenses and make some changes because there are changes needed; but there is no way in the world now that we can throw everything out and get going for the first of January with supplies and all under these circumstances; this Ordinance needs more study. Motion to approve the Ordinance carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Della, Van Deventer. Nays: Morgan. Absent: Reid. 11/15/77 284 PUBLIC HEARINGS The continued HEARING on the Community Development Block Grant Program was held at this time. ARNOLD PETERSON, Executive Director, Community Development Commission, was present and stated this is the second hearing on the 4th year Community Development Block Grant; the Council some years ago delegated to the Community Development Commission the responsibility for the planning and the carrying out of the Block Grant program which is essentially the Center City Project; we are now in the third year Block Grant program and this is an annual application and we are now going into the 4th year program; we propose to continue in the fourth year those activities that we've been doing right along; we intend to purchase in part and get title to and pay in part for Wards' surplus property along, llth to 13th, east side of "D" Avenue, to purchase property from Mr. S.M. Stowe along "E" Avenue so as to be able to put the alley through at that location at about llth and "E"; to incur certain administrative, legal, design, architectural and engineering costs; to continue the rehabilitation of Kimball House the Crandall -Ennis House and the northerly unit of the Brick Row building; to continue the home improvement loan program which is the Center City project area (and that includes the West Side); to maintain between llth, 15th "D" & "G" Avenues that work of landscape and irrigation that is proposed to be installed in the next six months; to cause others to build 17 unit condominiums at the northeast corner of 12th and "D"; to build the Seniors Highrise building, 152 units; and to do certain construction drawings for "A" Avenue between 9th and llth and along llth between "A" Avenue and National Avenue; and because of Federal regulations pertaining to the close-out of the E.J. Christman Project, to include that project in the 4th year program and, if we could not include it until the 5th year program, to do it that way; but either in the 4th or 5th year Christman must become part of the Block Grant program; that constitutes the report. Mr. Peterson said after the conclusion of the hearing, the action of the Council would be to close the hearing; the program is before the Citizens' Committee for Community Development. No one was present in this regard. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Van Deventer, the hearinj be closed and that the City's hearing on the CommunitiDevelopment Block Grant RI99ram contin4e.

The HEARING on APPEAL of Planning Commission DENIAL .of ZONE VARIANCE to allow a nonconforming wall sign that does not face a street to be continued and maintained at 539 Highland Avenue, Larry B. Clark, Z-23-77, (Staff report attached to agenda stated in part: The sign area in question exted at the time Mr. Clark took occupancy of the building; he had,/ aolSy of the sign changed to reflect his business; this sign would not be allowed under the present code; the Land Use Code requires that all nonconforming signs rexcept roof -mounted signs shall be made conforming when the business or property changes occupancy or ownership.)was held at this time. City Clerk Campbell stated the Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing were on file. Planning Director Gerschler stated on September 26, the Planning Commission denied an application for zone variance to allow a nonconforming wall sign; staff concurs with the Planning Commission action. LARRY B. CLARK, 539 Highland Avenue, was present and stated this subject was discussed in Mr. Gerschler's office and he was of the opinion that he could wait until the current study of this Ordinance was completed; that they could ask for a variance; he thought that 11/15/77 285 this was going to be approved; it was also discussed at this meeting is that all he did was paint over an area that had been there; there are others in the area that have done the same as he has; he feels that this is selective enforcement of the law. Planning Director Gerschler stated there must be a misunderstanding, weral months ago there was some talk by the Chamber of Commercg/sponsoring a study of the sign ordinance; that never got going; staff at the moment has some minor changes in the sign ordinance that will be presented to Council but it doesn't involve this particular question. No one else spoke in this regard. Moved by Dalia, seconded by Van Deventer, the hearing be closed and the recommendation of the Planning Commission upheld. Carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Reid. The HEARING on proposed REZONING of properties within the area bounded by Plaza Blvd., "D" Avenue, 12th Street and the north/south alley west of "I" Avenue (ZC-19-77) was held at this time. City Clerk Campbell stated the Affidavit of Mailing and Certificate of Publication were on file; prior to the meeting she distributed to Council copies of a petition and letter requesting that certain properties be allowed to remain as they are. Planning Director Gerschler stated the Planning Commission has recommended: (1) zoning for "A" Avenue between Plaza and llth Street remain CBD-RD; (2) zoning for "A" Avenue between llth and 12th Streets be changed from CBD-RD to IC-RD; (3) zoning for "B" Avenue between Plaza and 12th Street be changed from CBD-RD to RM-1-PD-RD; the property at 1107 "B" Avenue be changed to RM-1-PD-RD, Density 40; (4) zoning for "C" Avenue and the west side of "D" Avenue between Plaza and 12th Street be changed from CBD-RD to RS-2-RD-D10. Mr. Gerschler stated at the time of the Planning Commission hearing the first of the items, zoning for "A" Avenue between Plaza and llth, was originally proposed to be dropped down to residential zoning and the property owners on the block asked that it not be changed, in spite of recommendations by the Director of the Community Development Commission and himself that it be changed, the Planning Commission overrode the recommendation and left those properties on "A" Avenue as "Commercial"; there is a request from property owners along "C" and "D" to do the same thing, to leave the property "Commercial"; the issues involved are not large, there would be no strong arguments one way or the other and if Council wishes to follow the suggestions made in the petition received it would have to go back to the Planning Commission for a report. MITCHELL GUARANO, 410 Harbison Avenue, was present and stated he was instrumental in turning in the petition in regard to a no zone change; the petition covers item 4; item 1 has to do with the Redevelopment Commission and they have no objection to this; and also item 2 and 3, there are no objections to those zone changes, they are concerned primarily with "C" Avenue and/both sides of "D" Avenue between Plaza Blvd. and 12th Street, this .includes the south side of Plaza in the 200-300 block and also the north side of 12th Street also the 200-300 block. Mr. Guarano stated he would agree with the recommendation to return the item to the Planning Commission for a report, if the report would recommend a no zone change for that area. VERL MASON, 902 Nacion, Chula Vista, was present and asked if the whole package would go back to the Planning Commission. Mr. Gerschler stated if a project were going to be delayed, staff would be able to handle sending part of it back. Mr. Mason spoke of his project at 1107 "B" Avenue, saying there is no opposition to this and everybody on the street is in agreement with it; this project started back in April and for one reason or another it has been delayed; he understood action was going to be taken on it and he could start the project a month ago; if it goes back to Planning now it would mean another delay, if Council could take action on the "B" Avenue portion he would appreciate it. ROBERT DALE, 111 "D" Street, Chula Vista, was present and stated he owns property on "E" Avenue on Plaza; insofar as a petition has been submitted, he believes item 4 should be left off and the zoning left as it is; when you buy property on the strength that it's going to be commercial and suddenly it changes, this is making the rules pretty rough. Roy Thomas, 1045 "C" Avenue, was present and spoke on the zone change -- there was over 50% that signed 11/15/77 286 the petition, (to have "C" and "D" remain unchanged) that should tell Council that nobody wants that zone change; it should be left as it is at the present time; why does it have to be sent back for review of the Planning Commission? Planning Director Gerschler said state planning law requires that when a case has gone through hearings and the Planning Commission has made a recommendation, that before the Council can change the recommendation they have to send it back for a report, it's a requirement of state law and there's no way the City can avoid it; once that report is brought back to Council then Council can act as they wish. Mr. Thomas stated that only recently has he been informed that he had a density of 10; this is a very misleading matter. CARMEN ROHA, owner of property on "D" Avenue, was present and asked if the zoning would be changed to multiple residential? Mr. Gerschler stated it's now commercial and the proposal is to make it residential; the petition asks that it be left commercial. WILBUR CASE, 1118 "C" Avenue, was present and asked if the alley that begins at 12th and goes to 1118 and dead -ends there will be put through to Plaza Blvd.? Mr, Gerschler stated that isn't part of this case and he doesn't believe there is a proposal to extend the alley. City Engineer Hoffland stated there are three dead-end alleys off of 12th and Plaza and the Community Development Director has plans on extending one of those three. JOHN WAGNER, representing the New Apostolic Church, was present and questioned what effect, item 4 would have on their property. Mr. Gerschler stated there would be none. No one else spoke in this regard. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Dalla, the hearing be closed and "C" and "D" be referred back to the Planning Commission and the City Attorney bring back an Ordinance on "A" and "B94.
