MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA
September 17, 1968
The regular meeting of the City Council of the City of National City was
called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Mayor Morgan. Council members present:
Camacho, Colburn, Hogue, Reid, Morgan. Absent: None.
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS present: Deputy City Clerk Fasig, Foster, McLean,
Osburn, Parks, Stockman.
The meeting was opened with salute to the Flag led by City Manager Osburn,
followed with invocation by the Rev. Faye B. Brice, Faith Gospel Chapel.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Camacho, the minutes of..the regular meeting of
September 10, 1968 be approved. Carried by unanimous vote.
COUNCILMAN CAMACHO stated he requested a staff member be invited to assist
tonight on the continued hearing relative to the Resolution of Intention for
the 1911 Act Improvement of I, J, and L Avenues and 20th, 22nd, and 24th
Streets; he recommended in the future at similar hearings a member of staff
familiar with the 1911 Act be present to assist Council in answering ques...
tions. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Hogue, Councilman Camacho's recommen-
dation be approved and Council support his request for a staff member to be
present tonight. City Engineer Foster stated Civil Engineer Associate Onley
was not yet present but would be by the time of the hearing. Carried by
unanimous vote.
VICE MAYOR HOGUE stated a few weeks ago he and Councilman Camacho were
appointed to check sites for a new public works facility; through their re-
search they have come up with three locations which they felt would be suit-
able and have listed the advantages and disadvantages of each site: First
site-30th Street just east of National Avenue on the North side. Advantages:
it is approximately 40% at grade, which 40% belongs to the City; it would be
ideal as a future dump site with income derived from using it for this pur-
pose; the parcel could be purchased all the way to D Avenue as needed and
used as a fill site. Disadvantages: the present site is desired by National
City businessmen as a future location for a truck agency in relation to auto-
mobile row; it is not centrally located in the City; it would require 60%
fill in the canyon to achieve the desired grade so they could have the nec-
essary 100,000 square feet; about 2/3 of the property would have to be pur-
chased and would then have to be filled. Mayor Morgan inquired if the 2/3
was if they went all the way to D Avenue. Vice Mayor Hogue said it was to
achieve the 100,000 square feet recommended by Public Works as the area need-
ed. Second site-24th and B (by the convalescent home where the old gymnasium
is). Advantages: it is City owned land and is at grade; is near to the cen-
ter of the City. Disadvantages: the value is believed to be too expensive
to be used as a public works site; would probably be more suitable for pri-
vate development; noise might be detrimental to the area because of the rest
home and apartments. Third site-15th and D. Advantages: it is City owned
land; the area is adequate in size; it is more centrally located than the
other two. Disadvantages: there would be a possible drainage cost in the
neighborhood of $100,000.00; could be used as a possible extension of the
park; possibly could create traffic congestion in that area; might be an
ideal site for a municipal gym which would have the required parking avail-
able if built there. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Hogue, the 15th and D
site be the site chosen for the new public works yard. Carried by the follow-
ing vote, to -wit: Ayes: Colburn, Hogue, Reid, Morgan. Nays: Camacho.
Councilman Colburn requested a report or sketch of what could go in, how it
would be situated and in what corner of the total land it would be, giving
entrances and exits. City Manager Osburn said they would come up with a
rough draft. Mayor Morgan requested the City Manager in his study to see how
they could work around the $100,000.00 mentioned for drainage. City Manager
Osburn said should they put this underground and put the drainage under D
Avenue, which also has to be rebuilt, it would cost at least $100,000.00; he

would have more details on this later.

YOR MORGAN recommended the appointment of Councilman Colburn as a voting
legate and Councilman Reid as an alternate delegate to the League of Cali-
rnia Cities in October. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Camacho, the Mayor's
commendation be a.•roved. Carried by unanimous vote.
Tip LEONARD, 2740 Lincoln Court, was present and quoted an item from the
S ar-News which stated the Mayor expected the Council would resolve to join
t e South Bay Irrigation District in buying the entire Sweetwater water sys-
t=m and the Vice Mayor said they were going with the Joint Powers Act; he
f=it in buying the water company it entailed what he thought to be communism
a d was against the purchase.
N. KIMBALL, Attorney, 2655 - 4th Avenue, San Diego, was present and request-
e. Council adopt a resolution evidencing its opposition to an application
m de by Elmer and Louise Slusser to establish an on -sale beer parlor at 2329
H ghland Avenue; where this establishment is sought to be licensed, it is
a.jacent to a business engaged in primarily the teaching and training of
c ildren in the use of the accordian; there are more than 100 pupils in the
school, arriving for their lessons at various hours; they will be separated
f om this establishment by a 6" party wall; secondly, there is an obvious
t affic problem within this block; thirdly, there is no need for licensing
t is establishment because of numerous similar licensed establishments with-
i the area; these premises lie within 500' of a church to the south on
H ghland Avenue and within 500' of a school and public playground. Council-
m-n Colburn inquired who Mr. Kimball was representing. Mr. Kimball said he
h d a protest (and he understood there was another one) signed by 32 people
i the immediate vicinity protesting the granting of the license; he was
s•eaking for 31 of the 32 protestants; the gentleman who operates the accord-
• ! establishment will present his own protest. City Attorney McLean quoted
t e action of the Council at the regular meeting of September 10, 1968 when
t ey voted on the motion, "the application for this transfer be filed provid-
i g in the event a new applicant requests a license for the present building,
i could be denied or protested", which carried with 3 members voting aye, 1
a•staining and 1 member absent. Moved by Hogue, this item be put on next
w ek's Agenda. Mr. Kimball said that would be too late; they had only until
t e coming Sunday to file the protest. Councilman Camacho stated he did not
s e why they should rescind their action of last week. Councilman Reid said
u less he could go to the location and check it out he would have to let his
v.te stand. Arthur Vigneault, 2331 I Avenue, was present and protested the
i suance of the license.
T e CONTINUED HEARING ON RESOLUTION OF INTENTION NO. 9634 AS AMENDED BY NO.
9 47 FOR THE 1911 ACT IMPROVEMENT OF I, J, L AVENUES AND 20TH, 22ND AND 24TH
S REETS was held at this time. Deputy City Clerk Fasig stated since last
ek she received on?protest which was from the Rev. Philip A. Larson, Pas-
r, Faith Community Church, 1136 - 18th Street. City Engineer Foster stated
t e protests amounted to approximately 12% at this time. Mrs. L. T. Gott-
s hall, 2019 J Avenue, was present and said last week she presented the pro-
t st petition for her section to withdraw from the district which included
8 % of the people in that section, based on the reason the people in the
b ock beyond that withdrew; in this section she found there was a total of
1* property owners with 17 of them signing the petition; of the total, there
a e ten of the 19 who do not live on the street to be paved and ten people
a e more than a majority of the people in that section; she requested the
C ty Attorney bring for a reading the law concerning how this is done; in
e meantime, she talked to Mr. Onley (Civil Engineer Associate) and asked
h m to give her the name of it; he said he couldn't find it at the time but
g-ve her a chapter and a number that she could look up; the number was 2220,
apter 3; she consulted the Code and 2220 to 2336 was repealed by the State
1965; she did many hours of writing, searching and looking and found many
ings; they were not protesting the whole district, they were only protest-
g their part of it; the Code says it can be in parts and in sections; one
o her main complaints was she was around the corner from 20th Street which
w s being paved, in the middle of the block, on a 50' lot and her estimated
9/17/68
132
a-sessment was $405.00; the assessment across the street of 125T on the
street to be paved going back on J Avenue for 100' has a total assessment of
$-00.00; everyone interested says the whole thing is so inequitable; people
o the off streets are paying much more. Mrs. Gottschall quoted from Chapter
7- , No. 2712 in the 1911 Act and said that was the best explanation she
could find of why they were being included as being benefitted by the work;
s e couldn't see that by being around the corner in the next block she was
✓ eiving more benefit than people owning the land; people facing on 20th
S reet are paying much less than she. Mrs. Gottschall said they did have a
1=gal petition from I to K Avenues on 20th Street to be excluded from the
d'strict. W. L. Mackey, 2014 K Avenue, was present and said if the assess-
m:nts were pro -rated according to benefit, it would be fine; he was paying
t e full share of the people that are getting the full benefit of it; where
h lives the street has been done and paid for; the City was asking them to
h=lp pay to benefit someone else a little more; two streets were let off due
the fact one was completed, which was fine, but he couldn't understand why
t e other street was let off; if it was pro -rated he could almost see it, but
i they had to pay a full share for something from which they do not benefit
m ch from, he could not see it. Mr. Mackey said they were paying almost
$-,000.00 for just sidewalks and curbs; that sounded a little high to him;
i they looked around they could cut that cost by a minimum of 1/3; the area
u der the protest should be withdrawn; regardless how it was looked at, it
w-s not fair to the people on the side streets. Mrs. Cynthia Barfield, 1915
I Avenue, was present and said she objected to paying for a street when she
couldn't get her own fixed; she didn't drive a car and wouldn't have the
b=nefit of the other streets; there were churches and big apartments; a lot
o people live in the apartments and they should pay more. Moved by Hogue,
s=conded by Camacho, the hearing be closed and the matter be referred to the
C-ty Attorney and the City Man aer for further processing. Carried by the
following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Hogue, Morgan. Nays: Colburn.

Th- USE DISTRICT HEARING ON AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA TO PERMIT MOTELS WITHIN THE M-3, LIMITED IN-
D '.TRIAL ZONE was held at this time. Deputy City Clerk Fasig said the Plan-
ning Commission recommendation was attached to the Agendas and the Certifi«.
cate of Publication was on file. Director of Planning Stockman stated the
Li ited Industrial Zone extends from 18th Street to Chula Vista City limits
en ompassing the National City Airport from Roosevelt Avenue to Interstate
5 reeway. Mrs. Stockman stated the Planning Commission recommended motel
us- be incorporated into the M-3 Zoning. Richard Gant, First National Bank
Bu'lding, San Diego, Attorney representing Mr. Richard B. Ervin, owner of
pr.perty lying between 22nd and 24th Streets, Hoover and Wilson Streets,
wi hin the Redevelopment Area, was present and said Mr. Ervin is the original
ap.licant for the amended amendment to the Zoning Ordinance; the current
Zo ing Ordinance permits those commercial uses which are incidental to in-
/9/17/68
133
d strial uses within an M-3 Zone and permits restaurants; it specifically
cludes any residential use, including motels and hotels; it is the opinion
o experts in the area modern industrial parks in light industrial zones
r-quire an incidential use, some motel property, some motel use as an inci-
d-nt to the development of the industrial park; a report by the Chamber of
C. erce reflects this feeling among the expert planners. Director of Plan-
n ng Stockman stated in recommending the motel be a permissible use within
t e M-3 Zone, this would in no way indicate that they were at this time
g anting any motel sites within the redevelopment area but would be giving
t e tool to the Redevelopment Agency and to the Executive Director in work-
i g up the plan for that area but it would let one go on the National City
Airport. Councilman Colburn asked Mr. Gant if he was opposing the recommen-
d=tion of the Planner. Mr. Gant said he was not; his client has no objec-
t'on to this being a blanket zone; he feels whatever the pleasure of the
Council or Planning Commission would be, his property is within an area par-
t cularly usable for this purpose. Councilman Reid inquired if they were
s tting the zoning for this development. Director of Planning Stockman re-
p ied it would not be her intention; the M-3 Zoning is already there; it
a so encompasses the National City Airport; it would merely be a guideline
t at the Redevelopment Agency and Executive Director could use in projecting
t eir uses of these lands. Vice Mayor Hogue inquired if they were talking
a.out the M-3 Zone in our City at the present time and it just happened that
p=rt of that M-3 Zone was in the Redevelopment Area. Director of Planning
S ockman replied that was correct. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Reid, the
h axing be closed, the recommendation of the Planning Commission and Planner
b- approved and it be referred to the proper authorities for further pro-
c ssing. Carried by unanimous vote.
T e USE DISTRICT HEARING TO AMEND ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 962 TO ESTABLISH
Hi EL -MOTEL -TOURIST RECREATION PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING ON THAT CERTAIN
T RRITORY AS OUTLINED ON MAP NO. C-69 ON FILE IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OF
T E CITY OF NATIONAL CITY (PROPERTY PARALLEL TO PLAZA BOULEVARD BETWEEN 12TH
16TH STREhlb EAST OF PALM AVENUE ELIMINATING ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY
E OMPASSED WITHIN INTERSTATE FREEWAY 805) was held at this time. Deputy
C ty Clerk Fasig said the Planning Commission recommendation was attached to
t e Agendas and the Certificate of Publication was on file. Director of
P anning Stockman stated this would establish our first hotel -motel type
zoning, recently approved, which would be around the 805 Interchange at
P aza Boulevard. Mrs. Stockman stated the Planning Commission recommended
t e Council adopt the zoning as outlined on National City Planning Department
M p No. C-69 (a copy of this map was displayed on the wall of the Council
C ambers). No one was present in this regard. Moved by Colburn, seconded
b Reid, the hearing be closed, the recommendation of the Planning Commission
d City Planner be approved and it be referred to the proper authorities for
f rther processing. Carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho,
C.lburn, Hogue, Reid. Nays: Morgan.
Ci►UNCILMAN COLBURN inquired if they had received a business license fee from
L^s Street Auto Wrecking and the Paris Theatre for the 1968 year. City Man-
a.er Osburn stated the fee had been received from the Paris Theatre although
i had not yet been approved, and to the best of his knowledge, they have not
y<t received one from Les Street Auto Wrecking; Council will receive a report
o this during the coming week. Moved by Colburn, the City Treasurer be
a thorized to accept the business license fee that has been prescribed for
t e Paris Theatre. Motion died for lack of second. Councilman Colburn pro-
t sted allowing the Paris Theatre to operate without a business license and
recommended everyone refuse to pay his business license.

C 'LES COSSIO, 2137 Grove Avenue, President, National City Swim Club, was
p esent and said 87 members of the Club, 5 - 17 years of age, were eligible
t. represent National City September 28th in a meet at the Los Coyotes
C.untry Club, Buena Park; he requested the City sustain the cost of at least
t o buses to transport the children to and from at a cost of $115.00 each.
C ty Manager Osburn asked if he could report on this next week. Mr. Cossio
s=id they would have to reserve the buses. Moved by Colburn, seconded by
R id, they authorize the use of City funds to support the Swim Club in this
a tivity while out of town representing National City. Mr. Cossio stated he
w.uld report on the result of the meet. Mayor Morgan said he was very much
i favor of this but would want a report from the City Manager and City
A torney before he voted for it. Motion carried by the following vote, to-
w t: Ayes: Camacho, Colburn, Reid. Nays: Hogue. Abstaining: Morgan.
M"S. L. T. GOTTSCHALL, 2019 J Avenue stated she was confused regarding
C.uncil's action on her petition (regarding hearing on Resolution of Inten-
t on No. 9634 as amended by No. 9647 for 1911 Act improvement of I, J, L
A enues and 20th, 22nd and 24th Streets). Mayor Morgan replied the vote
p•.ssed to go ahead and build the street. Mrs. Gottschall requested the City
A torney for the information she had asked him to bring to Council; Mr.
0 ley could not give her the information and so requested the City Attorney
b ing the law for reading under which they were included in the district;
s e did not want them to take time for the reading but wanted only the num-
b :r for her own reference. City Attorney McLean said Section 5343 of the
S reets & Highways Code would be the section which would be of the most in-
t:rest to her. Mrs. Gottschall said that was exactly the one she read.
C.uncilman Colburn stated the total amount of the improvement exceeds the
d=bt limitation; the hearing on the debt limitation was taken care of 6 weeks
a•o; some time back Mr. Alsdorf's property was up for improvement; the pro-
t•sts were made in such strong opposition to the improvement that Council
was notified it took a 4/5 vote because of the high cost of the improvement
e ceeding the debt limitation; evidently the system has either changed or the
people are not aware that hearing was more important to them than this one
b cause had they protested at that hearing and ended up with a 3-2 and not a
4 5 vote something different might have come out of it; after the street im-
p ovement, which included Mr. Alsdorf, the Mayor took it upon himself to make
s re everyone was aware (he assuemd they were still doing that) of 1911 Act
p ocedure. Councilman Colburn inquired what happened to the education that
w-s going to the public regarding information on 1911 Acts and why there
w:ren't stronger protests at an earlier date, especially during the Debt
Limitation Hearing. Mayor Morgan replied the same people Councilman Colburn
h.d seen protest this had been before the Council and he knew some of them
h.d spent as high as 30 - 60 hours with Civil Engineer Associate Onley; it is
h. d sometimes for people to understand exactly what goes on, especially when
t ey have to pay money; he spent hours explaining this to the people and he
k ew how the people felt regarding the improvement, both those who signed the
p=tition and those who didn't sign. Councilman Colburn said he was talking
a.out the confusion of the protesters and their rights to get their curbs in
o. not get them in, the section that was knocked out, etc.; he could under-
s and it. Mayor Morgan went to the map on the wall and pointed out certain
t ings regarding the assessments.
LCOLM HOGAN, owner of Tempo Music, 2325 Highland Avenue, was present and
p otested the opening of a beer bar (by Elmer and Louise Slusser) proposing
t. locate at 2329 Highland Avenue; he did not feel the bar would be advanta-
g=ous to his students, the parents of his students or his business. Mr.
Hagan inquired what happened to Councilman Colburn's suggestion in regard to
a business being permitted to operate without paying a business license.
n Engle, 2305 I Avenue, was present and protested the application. E. H.
Alsdorf, 2105 J Avenue, was present and said there has been some difficulty
o this 2329 Highland Avenue and Council should get it straightened out.
MS. L. T. GOTTSCHALL, 2019 J Avenue, stated it has been publicized this
C.uncil has never turned down a petition of over 50% protesters; that can
never again be on the record because their protest of the inclusion of a
p•rtion had an 89% protest.

UNCILMAN COLBURN said regarding the license transfer (by Elmer and Louise
usser), it would not be a new license, but only a transfer; the present
cense holder is only the distance of across the street from where they're
oposing; if they do move, their present location will be vacated and he
s sure no new license would be issued for that premises.
