PUBLIC HEARINGS
The HEARING on the application for CONDITIONAL. USE PERMIT on
proposed use of property on south side of Beta Street, immediately
abutting the easterly right -of way line of 1-805, for development
of a single family dwelling (Gregorio/Mason) was held at this time.
The City Clerk stated the Planning Commission recommended issuance
of Conditional Use Permit No. 1976-1 and written protests were
received from: Mr. & Mrs. Joe Carrillo, 1609 Gamma Street;
Emmitt Dixon, 1637 Beta Street; Richard J. Harrold, 1609 Beta Street;
William and Evelyn Hill, 1613 Beta Street; Adrian E. Lopez, 1608
Beta Street; Louis A. Paruginog, 1620 Gamma Street. City Clerk
Campbell reported the Affidavit of Mailing is on file. Planning
Director Gerschler stated the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit, it has been
appealed and the Council is required to have a hearing. JAMES L.
MASON, 271/2 Q Street was present and gave copies of a letter to the
Council which was read by City Clerk Campbell (Mr. Mason's letter
stated in part that if the neighbors on Beta Street wanted the lot
2/10/76
23
why didn't they buy it; the house that will be built on the lot
will be just as valuable as any of the homes on the street. Mayor
Morgan asked City Manager Bourcier about the possibility of
obtaining this piece of property free. He was told the City would
have to pay for the lot. RICHARD HARROLD, 1609 Beta Street was
present and spoke in opposition to the construction of the single
family residence; he feels the Council should recognize the people
who have protested are residents of the neijborhood; he feels
the plans for the residence are not condusive to this particular
neighborhood; if you can visualize a lot that's 9400 square feet,
and is 300 feet long; figure out how wide the lot is as an average,
it fronts right against the freeway; the people of the neighbor-
hood had to accept the freeway, the bridges, off -ramps 805 came in
and took part of the street, part of the area, now what little is
left they want to put a house on; I think it's unfair to the
people who live in the neighborhood. W.R. HILL, 1613 Beta Street
was present and said he has lived in the neighborhood since the
street has been there; several good homes were torn out for the
freeway; he has looked at the lot and can't see any use that
anyone would want to built on it; he opposed the Conditional Use
Permit. MRS. EMMITT DIXON, 1637 Beta Street was present and
stated she was a former resident of that property, the freeway
bought it from them; it's unfair; they are still in the neigh-
borhood, that our house goes for the freeway, and the other part
of the property was for the dead-end street, and I don't think
it's a proper place to build another house. City Attorney McLean
stated that 2-K of the transmittal says that the building permit
review group reviewed the application and found that it met the
building code and all the requirements as to set -backs and location
on the lot. City Planning Director Gerschler stated that the
freeway side of the property would be the side yard, so the south
side would be the rear yard. City Attorney McLean stated that
this property is considered to front on Beta Street. There was
discussion. CARL CHESSER, 5138 Hughes Street, San Diego, the
builder and developer of the property in question was present and
stated that this lot is large enough to take a house, there is
nothing wrong with the development or the design, they have
complied with all the set backs, all the zoning laws and he
couldn't see what the problem is really; we've built on lots
smaller lots than this and we've designed the house to go on there;
we have a committment, we have a loan for this, Imperial Savings
saw that the lot was fit; so I don't see what the question is,
really; we've complied with everything. MRS. GREGORIO, 4210
Euclid Avenue was present and asked why the Government sold this
property to the people when it is intended for open space. City
Attorney McLean stated that we could ask them (the State) to
convey the property to the City for open space; he has a feeling
that this is a parcel that was analyzed for open space and came to
the conclusion it was not feasible for open space. Planning
Director Gerschler stated that comment had been made in the Trans-
mittal. There was further discussion. Moved by Pinson, the Public
Hearing be closed and the Conditional Use Permit be denied. Motion
died for lack of second. Moved by Reid, this be approved, that
that man gets his building permit unless someone wants to buy that
lot and pay him and pay for his plans to be redrawn. Die Z for
lack of second. There was discussion. City Attorney McLean said
that the City staff, rightly or wrongly, has concluded that there
is no basis for not granting the Permit, and the Planning Commission
has come to the same conclusion; unless the Council is in a
position from the facts presented to find that there is some
factual reason why this property cannot be used for R-1 purposes,
then I think the City should be prepared to pay for the property
and other consequential damages the owner will be suffering and the
inability to use his property; the cost of the lot, the cost of
financing and the like; if the Council makes a factual determina-
tion that the Staff report is wrong and the lot isn't big enough,
or there is some other defect in the lot that would make the
building in violation of City law, then you will either have to
give him a permit or buy it. Under discussion it was stated that
if the City is seriously considering buying the property then
Council should look into the feasibility of the property owners
2/10/76
24
participating in its purchase; it seems in order to continue the
Public Hearing and in that time look into the possibilities of
buying the property. Moved by Mogan, seconded by Dalla, we continue
the Public Hearing for two weeks and we instruct the Mana er to
study purchasin9 this by the City or by the property owners. Carried
by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Dalla, Pinson,
Morgan, Nays: Reid.
The HEARING on PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE NATIONAL CITY GENERAL PLAN
(GP-1-76) was held at this time. The City Clerk reported the
Planning Commission recommended approval of General Plan changes as
listed in Items 1 through 4 and 4.b.3. through 4.d.; and denial of
Items 4.b.1. through 4.b.2. and 5; denial of Item 6, with Planning
Commission to initiate a zone variance proceeding on property at
525-527 "M" Avenue. Assistant Planning Director Rolf Gunnarson
was present to answer questions. ARNOLD PETERSON, Executive
Director, Community Development Commission, was present and
appealed the Planning Commission's recommendation of denial of Item
4.b.1 and 4.b.2; saying the Community Development Commission in its
capacity of the Redevelopment Agency has a variety of roles within
the community as example the Christman Project, South Bay Town &
Country, and Bonita Center Project; the appeal is in connection
with the Center City Project proposal which has not yet come before
Council as a formal matter and would not until early April; they
need to come before the Council now regarding the land uses. Mr.
Peterson displayed "Land Use Plan; Center City Project" which
showed Montgomery Wards land (marked B.1 and B.2) explaining that
the land is vacant and has been for ten years; the Community
Development Commission's General Plan request before the Planning
Commission was for residential, 31-40 units; at the meeting the
request was modified to 21-30 units in view of the concerns for
residential development and density; the Planning Commission voted
7-10 to deny our modified request from Commercial Zoning to
Residential 21-30 units; Mr. Peterson stated he was before the
Council this evening to request a different density yet -- that of
11-15 units to the acre; he also is asking the Council to consider
condominiums or townhouse..ownership use of the land with adequate
parking and landscaping; the site is surplus and Wards is willing
to sell it; the City's General Plan speaks of the site as part of
future Retail -Commercial facility; he thought was unrealisitic;
Wards is there, South Bay Plaza is there, Bonita Center is going to
go in; South Bay Town and Country is also there; that implication
in the General Plan in unrealistic. Mr. Peterson said when he
and George Hess, Project Manager, went before the Commission, they
talked about land planning; but they didn't talk about finance or
the market and they didn't address the implications of this
development or non -development in terms of state law; he has new
information that is being brought to the Council tonight; this
land is unproductive, unsightly, unused; it is unlikely to be
used for commercial purposes; Wards themselves have tried to sell
the property for commercial use and have been unsuccessful; under a
recent amendment to state law the Community Development Commission
(in a residential project) must produce housing units at least
equal in number to the housing units that are taken out, with
respect to low and moderate income people; we therefore need to
produce housing; 11-15 units to the acre on that site, sales,
townhouse, ownership -type and at 21/2 acres would produce 12 units to
the acre, 30 units; these 30 units if they were built at $40,000
per dwelling unit (a likely price) would produce $1,200.000.00 in
assessed evaluation and require far less community services cost
than apartment units; so the Community Developement Commission
would through freezing the tax base on the incremental tax
increase produce about $30,000 annually or $300,000.00 of bonded
capability through the development of that site; those economic
and financial matters are probably not appropriate for the Planning
Commission, but are appropriate for the Council; they are not
talking about apartments or low income or publicly -owned housing or
subsidized housing, they are talking about market -housing kinds of
figures; the population that would live in such units would be
stable, probably Navy families, middle-aged people with teen -aged --
2/10n6
25
children and retired people and probably some elderly; through
good grading plan, landscaping and orienting the buildings
toward the future development area and backing it towards the Wards
and not fronting it directly to the Catholic school, that they
could by screening and development has a good development there;
he asked George Zobar, their economist, to speak to several
developers and have received three direct expressions of interest
from developers onto this site, so it is a marketable site
providing it's done right and the price is right. There was
further discussion. Mr. Peterson said at 12th and D (northeast
corner) there is a parcel which would be difficult to develop; at
this site, he has been advised that such ownership units are
unlikely, unfeasible; the General Plan presently stated that that's
Residential 21-30 and they are asking 31-40; this request was
denied; the Planning Commission recommended keeping 21-30 which
gives 12-13 units; and they want it to be raised 31-40 in order to
make 16 (2 levels 8 units each level, above, garages below, 2-
bedroom type). There was further discussion in regard to the
height of the Senior facility, condominuims, security, etc.
Mr. Peterson re -stated his request that Council approve for the
site that has been identified as Wards land multiple family
residential, 11-15 units to the acre, and that it approve for the
northeast corner 12th and D multiple family residential, 31-40
units to the acre; Council would have the opportunity to view the
plan. There was further discussion. JAMES MARLAR, 1515 Grove
Street was present and spoke on Item 5 (to change the lane use
designation of the property located on the west side of Grove
Street starting at the westerly prolongation of the center line of
14th Street and going southerly therefrom 455 feet, from
"Residential 6-10 Dwelling Units/Acre" to "General Commercial" on
the northerly 100 feet and "Park" on the balance); and requested
the Council to overturn the denial of the Planning Commission
regarding the property on the center line of 14th Street south
455 feet and west of Grove Street and request that it be approved
for General Commercial and Park Use; he is speaking as one of the
residents of Grove Street, there are others present this evening.
Mr. Marlar stated that the feeling at this time is that this piece
of property would not be considered a section for spot zoning and
that it would be in compliance with the General Plan and speaking
for himself, he approved granting the amendment to the General Plan
to have this applied for a zone change to General Commercial.
V.A. CLOUD, JR., 1431 Grove Street was present and gave the Council
background regarding Mr. Maloney's property (the property in
question); they want to erect a sign and were rather surprised to
find that the residents on Grove Street were opposed to this; as
the notice was listed in the paper, to rezone it Commercial, they
didn't know just exactly what they had in mind; once they discover-
ed it was a sign they were not that opposed; they have had numerous
discussions with Mr. Shell who represents Mr. Maloney, the owner of
the property; they now withdraw their objections to this sign
providing the remainder of the space remain open space; if this
condition is not acceptable to the Council then it's a whole new
ballgame. Planning Director Gerschler stated that was thoroughly
discussed at the Planning Commission meeting it was the applicants
proposal he use part of the property for his sign and reserve the
rest for a park; whether or not the City will acquire that at little
or no cost is something that will have to be negotiated with the
City Council, but that was the understanding at the Commission
meeting. Mr. Cloud asked the Council what exactly was meant by
the term "park"; this is a narrow area, approximately 65 feet
wide, 355 feet long and the property is quite hilly; that is the
reason the residents are thinking of Open Space. Mayor Morgan
stated that they would probably put some greenery on it, there
would be very little play area due to the topography of the land
but nonetheless make it better than it is today, Mr. Cloud concurred.
SCOTT SNELL, a friend of Pat and Ed Maloney was present and said
the main point is the Planning Commission denied the request to
change the General Plan on the basis that they could see that the
homeowners did not understand the proposal; they have since met
with the residents; the only reason the Planning Commission felt
denial was important was because they had the Center City question
W10/76
26
before them and if they did not make a decision then that the
whole process would be held up on the change of the General Plan
which they only do three times each year; so the Planning
Commission said okay, we'll deny your request but subject to
meeting with these people, please come back to the Council and
if everything is then okay, we hope that we can communicate to the
Council that they were not opposed to our concept when they de-
clined this whole item, but rather they were interested in having
the Community and everybody in agreement. In answer to City
Attorney McLean's questions, Mr. Snell is offering now to donate
land to the City but they are not willing to donate the cost of
developing the land into park use. There was discussion. It was
suggested each item of the Planning Commission's recommendations
be taken separately to determine which items should be returned to
the Commission. Planning Director Gerschler expressed concern
over the timing; the Council is limited to three changes per year;
if you are to change some of the Planning Commission's recommend-
ations it will have to go back and will take probably two weeks
to get a report back to Council; if tonight you were to approve
part of the cases, you would have used up your turn at bat and the
cases to go back to the Planning Commission might be delayed until
June; he suggested that all of the cases be continued tonight until
a report can come back from the Planning Commission on those cases
that you designate you wanted to look at again which would be
whatever cases you the Council would pick out and then they can
bring the whole package back and act on the whole thing at one
time. Item 1.\\To change the land use designation on the porperties
located between Palm Avenue and I-805 and between 10th Street and
12th Street, and the properties located between 9th Street and
10th Street, and "R" Avenue and 1-805, from "Residential 11-15
Dwelling Units/Acre" to "Residential 6-10 Dwelling Units/Acre".
No motion to change the Planning Commission's recommendation. Item
2. To change the land use designation on the parcel of property on
the southerly side of 9th Street, opposite "K" Avenue, from
"Residential 11-15 Dwelling Units/Acre" to "General Commercial."
No Motion to change the Planning Commission's recommendation. Item
3. 'To change the land use designation on the properties located
between National and "A" Avenues and between 24th and 25th Streets,
from "Automobile Related Commercial" to "General Commercial."
Moved by Dalla, seconded by Morgan, Item 3 be referred back to the
Planning Commission due to the fact that it is premature to assume
that the property can't be developed as designated at the present
time, the impact on the existirT development of the Mile of Cars,
and the integrity of the entire redevelopment project. Carried
by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Dalla, Reid,
Morgan. Nays: Pinson, Item 4.a. 'To change the land use design-
ation on the properties located between 13th and 15th Streets and
"D" and "E" Avenues, and between 13th and 14th Streets and "E" and
"F" Avenues from "Residential 31-40 Dwelling Units/Acre" and
"General Commercial" to "Residential - Senior Citizen Housing &
Related Uses - Density Unspecified." No action to be taken on item.
Item 4.b.1. "To change the land use designation on the properties
located on the easterly side of "E" Avenue between 12th and 13th
Streets and on the northerly side of 12th Street to a point about
260 feet north of 12th Street, from "Commercial - Shopping Center"
to "Residential 21-30 Dwelling Units/Acre." Moved by Morgan,
seconded by Camacho, accept Mr. Arnold Peterson's recommendation
and refer it back to the Planning Commission and have them make
a report. Councilman Pinson stated that he wants the Planning
Commission to know that he is opposed to this and will be when it
returns to the Council. Carried by unanimous vote. 4.b.2. "To
change the land use designation of the property between "A" Avenue
and the alley about 115 feet easterly of "D" Avenue and on the
northerly side of 12th Street to a point about 169 feet north of
12th Street from "Residential 21-30 Dwelling Units/Acre" to
"Residential 31-40 Dwelling Units/Acre." There was discussion.
Moved by Dalla, seconded by Camacho, this item be referred to the
Planning Commission for further study. Carried by the following
vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Dalla, Reid. Nays: Pinson, Morgan.

Moved by Pinson, seconded by Camacho, the hearing be continued to
the 24th of this month at 7:45 in the evening. Carried by
unanimous vote.
The HEARING on adoption of proposed NATIONAL CITY LAND USE CODE
(A-10-75) was held at this time. The City Clerk stated the
Planning Commission recommends adoption of the Land Use Code; the
Certificate of Publication is on file. Planning Director Gerschler
stated the staff has presented a full document on the history of
this case and all of the data set up by the Planning Commission
which unanimously supports the adoption of the Land Use Code;
unless there are questions he has nothing else to present. Mr.
Gerschler said that the one unresolved issue is what to do with
the PD Zoning that's now on the map; he would ask that when Council
acts on the Land Use Code the motion include whether PD Zoning be
retained or dropped. GEORGE WEBSTER, 305 "F" Avenue, Planning
Commission, was present and spoke in support of the Land Use Code,
saying in 1926 the Board of Trustees appointed the first Planning
Commission, this is their 50th Anniversary, and for this 50 years
they have been putting together Zoning Ordinances and they have
never been straightened out until this time; the Council has a
document now that has brought up to date all of the Code, all the
Ordinances that pertain to every lot and every piece of property
in this town; the Planning Department was directed in 1971 to go
back and bring the Codes and Ordinances up to date, to take out
overlaps, all amendments and find a document that would be
workable; that book is now prepared and can be used by anyone to
understand easily; thousands of man-hours have been committed to
the Land Use Code, 22 Public Hearings have been held on this; this
is a document that the Council can be very proud of; among other
things Mr. Webster wanted to compliment the Planning Department on
this very fine document. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Pinson,
the Hearing be closed and the Council adopt the City Land Use Code
and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and that we
maintain PD. There was discussion. Carried by unanimous vote.
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS
COUNCILMAN PINSON stated he understands the Community Building at
El Toyon Park cannot be used by the public, or rented, and asked
the City Manager to bring in a report on that.
COUNCILMAN CAMACHO asked the City Engineer to go to 3420 Plaza Blvd.,
to the area that has had all the accidents; couldn't there be a
2/10/76
28
speed sign posted because the people who live there back out into
the street and cars come around that corner at a high rate of
speed. City Engineer Hoffland said that he would be glad to make
a speed study and refer the results to the Traffic Safety Committee.
COUNCILMAN REID stated in regard to Ordinance 1489, Sewer Hook-up
and Fees, he wanted to change his "yes" vote on that to a "no"
vote. Moved by Ried, seconded by Camacho, the Ordinance be brought
back and I want to vote no on it. There was discussion. City
Attorney McLean stated that he informed Councilman Reid that the
way to try to get his point across was to make a -motion to instruct
the City Attorney to prepare an Ordinance rescinding the Ordinance
if that motion carries he will come in with a similar Crdinance,
if the motion doesn't carry then that's the end of the matter.
There was discussion. Motion failed by the following vote, to -wit:
Ayes: Camacho, Reid. Nays: Dalia, Pinson, Morgan.
MAYOR MORGAN stated that he keeps hearing Roger Hedgcock is taking
the suit regarding the Bonita Shopping Center to the Supreme Court
without the support of the Taxpayers Association; and he's doing
it for publicity; the Ordinance of the County of San Diego says
that you can only put in $250.00 to a campaign -- how is he
handling this; somebody ought to check into it. It was suggested
by City Attorney McLean that they contact County Counsel. Mayor
Morgan said he would.
