Act improvement on 18th Street, which was referred to him at the

1911 Acts, Gas Fund Act Improvements or otherwise. COUNCILtVAN

phone Company in which we have to pay the costs of relocating

JAMES COLBURN, 3865 Delta Street, San Diego, was present and stat-
ed the City's zoning regulations gives no consideration for an
apartment. Mr. Colburn stated he has an eleven unit building
proposed to be built at 19th and Highland. The Planning Commis-
sion interpreted it to be a multiple dwelling rather than an apart-
ment hotel. The plans were revised to include two stores in the
front with an apartment above and the remaining eight apartments
in the rear; and when applying for a building permit, he was in-
formed that it was still a multiple dwelling even though it con-
tained stores. Mr. Colburn stated he would like a definition of
his building. VICE MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH stated she was present
at the Planning Commission meeting last evening when this matter
was discussed and the matter of the store building did not enter
into the discussion. CITY PLANNER WAGNER stated that the matter
of a store structure was not discussed at last night's meeting,
and the Planning Commission interpreted that the structure pre-
sented to them was a multiple dwelling with eleven living units
inside. Mr. Colburn appeared at the office this morning and show-
ed in marked crayon on his plans the lower two apartment units
fading on Highland Avenue crossed out and indicated as stores.
He read the section of the Ordinance which allows that the minimum
building lot site area should be 5,000 square feet. In a C-3
Zone: Building Site and Area Required: None for business and
commercial uses, provided however, that where apartments are es-
tablished above any business or commeecial use, then these shall
be at least 600 square feet of lot area for each such apartment
on the lot. This requirement, however, shall not apply to hotel
rooms. Mr. Wagner stated if his interpretation is correct the
only two units within this building that would qualify would be
the two directly above the two stores. Mr. Colburn stated it is
their feeling that it does come under the C-3 Zone. S. O. GRANGER,
Chairman of the Planning Commission was present and stated a great
deal of time was spent with Mr. Colburn at the meeting of the
Commission regarding his proposed building site. His marked up
drawing does not change any of the rear building. If he wished
to put stores through the entire bottom part of the building he
would be within his rights to come in to the Council and ask that
consideration be given to his plans, that would conform to the
Ordinance the way it is now written. Moved by Fessman, seconded
by Jensen, that we sustain the Planning Commission's interpret-
ation of la,t night, as being in accordance with the Ordinance.
Carried, all the Council present voting aye,
VICE MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH announced that Mr. Wayne Macy, owner of
the Skating Rink in National City, asked her to extend to the
Council an invitation to attend their first anniversary at 2Lth
and Highland Avenue, on Saturday evening, March 31st.
VICE MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH reported that Fred Peterman, a member
of our Planning Commission has been very ill, and suggested that
a "get well" card be sent from the Council. Moved by HF:�:Kc, sec-
onded by Fessman, that the recommendation of Vice Mayor Hollings-
worth be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.
APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER OF OFF SALE BEER & WINE BEVERAGE LICENSE

sen, seconded by Heck, that the application be filed. Carried,
all the Council present voting aye.
COMMUNICATION FROM CALIFORNIA WATER & TELEPHONE COMPANY was read,
regarding Susan Manor Subdivision. The developer has entered in-
to an agreement with the Water Company for installation of the
necessary facilities and has deposited the necessary funds. Upon
completion of the work, water service will be available upon de-
mand. CITY CLERK ALSTON recommended this be referred to the CITY
ATTORNEY. Moved by Heck, seconded by Fessman, that the City Clerk's
recommendation be allowed. Carried, all the Council present vot-
ing aye.
CITY ENGINEER LILL stated that Mr. Shattuck, developer of the
Susan Manor Subdivision, is anxious to have the subdivision map
approved at the next Council meeting, and it appears likely that
the plans will be in order at that time. Mr. Lill said he would
like to have it on the agenda for the next meeting so that the
subdivision agreement could be signed, and the map could also be
approved at the next meeting, providing the Council so desires.
Moved by Heck, seconded by Jensen, that this matter be brought
up on the agenda of April 3rd. Carried, all the Council present
voting aye.
COMMUNICATION FROM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE was read, stating that the
Blood -Mobile Unit will be in National City, Thursday, April 19,
from 2:00 P.M. until 6:00 P.M., at the Masonic Temple, 8140 Nat-
ional Avenue. CITY NiNAJER BIRD recommended this be referred to
the Municipal Employees' Association, as they may want to take
collective action on it to build up their own Blood Bank. Moved
by Jensen, seconded by Fessman, that the City Manager's recommend-
ation be accepted. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.
CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he received a communication from the
National School District which requires advice and subsequent ap-
proval by the City Council. He requested this be referred to the
Finance Committee to bring in a recommendation to the Council.
It is in reference to a school site in the Olivewood area. Moved
by Fessman, seconded by Jensen, that the City Manager's recom-
mendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.
CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he would like authorization to have the
Mayor sign three contracts with the Ford Company for our prowl
cars. The contract form has been submitted to the City Attorney
and is substantially the same as last year. Moved by Heck, sec-
onded by Fessman, that the City Manager's request be allowed, and
the Mayor be authorized to sign the contracts with the Ford Com-
pany. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman,
Heck, Jensen, Hollingsworth. Nays: None. Absent: Hodge.
CITY MANAGER BIRD stated sometime ago we received a communication
regarding the possibility of elimination of trucks on certain
streets. It was referred to the Traffic Safety Committee and was
returned by them because of lack of jurisdiction on their part.
We now have other requests from residential areas. We do have a
truck ordinance which in essence sets forth one street in the City
for truck use, namely Roosevelt Avenue from Main Street to 18th
Street, or the continuation of West Avenue. We are running into
a considerable amount of heavy truck traffic in our residential
areas, and recommended that the matter of setting forth prohibit-
ion of trucks in certain restricted commercial areas be explored,
and that a map be submitted of those areas, by the Traffic Safety
Committee, and it be referred to the City Attorney to see whether
3/27
266
legally we can prohibit this situation. COUNCILMAN HECK asked
which streets in particular were concerned. CITY MANAGER BIRD
stated Harbison, North Belmont, South Belmont, which are fine
residential streets. COUNCILMAN HECK stated Harbison Avenue is
a gas tax fund street. The trucks going to North Belmont and
those areas are going, no doubt, for a specific purpose, and in
that case there cannot be any prohibition made for trucks going
to a specific address in that particular area. VICE MAYOR HOL-
LINGSWORTH stated that in the event San Diego goes through with
their master street plan of connecting Logan Avenue with Harbison
it would mean that Harbison Avenue would have a constant stream
of trucks and traffic. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Jensen,
that the matter be turned over to the Planning Department and the
Traffic Safety Committee for study. Carried, by the following
vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Jensen, Hollingsworth. Nays: Heck,
Absent: Hodge.
CITY MANAGER BIRD stated sometime ago there was referred to Man-
agement a proposition of working out, if possible, the wa.e- ser-
vice to be extended on "T" Avenue from 4th to 6th Stree.. It has
been worked out satisfactorily between the property owners and
the Water Company, and the City has agreed to give to the Water
Company the finished grade so we will not run into a situation
of having to move water facilities when improvements are made.
CITY MANAGER BIRD reported that previously a hearing was set for
the sale of certain properties, namely the property located at
16th and Hoover Avenue. It was held up temporarily because of
the zone use map which was to be adopted. The property is Lots
1 to 10, plus the vacated 40 feet of 17th Street, in Block 48,
which is now proposed as an M-1 Zone. An appraisal has been made
and if the Council so desires, he would recommend that the City
Attorney prepare a notice of bid and sale of the property. Moved
by Fessman, seconded by Jensen, that the City Manager's recom-
mendation be approved. Carried, by the following vote to -wit:
Ayes: Fessman, Heck, Jensen, Hollingsworth. Nays: None. Absent:
Hodge.
CITY MANAGER BIRD reported that we have four lots; Lots 1 to 4
inclusive in Block 4 of 10 Acre Lot 8, Quarter Section 154, South-
east corner of 15th and "C", and recommended for the Council's
consideration authorization for the City Attorney to set forth
a hearing so that it can be sold legally. Moved by Heck, second-
ed by Fessman, that this parcel of property be advertised for sale,
and the City Manager's recommendation be allowed. Carried, by
the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Heck, Jensen, Hollings-
worth. Nays: None. Absent: Hodge.
CITY MANAGER BIRD stated, if and when the Traffic Safety Committee
brings in a favorable report, the light at Valle Vista and 20th
Street can be put in without any construction cost, it will cost
the usual price for a 6,000 lumen lamp which is $4.50 per month,
or $54.00 per annum; the 5th and Sanitarium light is in the same
status. The light at 5th and "V" will have to wait for possible
construction cost. The three lights requested in National Vista
No. 3 can be put in without construction cost; and the three in
Ricardo Terrace are in the same category. We were not able to
have the proper celebration which had been asked for by several
members of the Council in connection with the lighting of Nat-
ional Avenue from 13th Street to the City limits, the reason prim-
arily being that it is not on a major switch; however the light-
ing is completed.
COUNCILMAN FESSMAN inquired as to the status of traffic lights
at 13th and Harbor Drive. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he checked
with the State Division of Highways and they now have a new Traf-
fic Engineer who has been assigned to Ralph Luckenbach's depart-
ment, and Mr. Luckenbach has assured us it will be one of his
first projects to carry through to completion. There is a sit-
3/27
267
uation of which they are definitely afraid of, and that is where
the main highway comes in on a curve there is a lack of visi-
bility and their experience has been that it has created more of
a traffic hazard and resulted in a number of accidents, there-
fore they are progressing very slowly on the request. However,
they have promised us a definite answer very shortly. COUNCIL-
MAN FESSMAN stated if we do not get a traffic light soon, he is
going to ask that we have a police officer stationed there to
direct traffic during certain hours.
COUNCILMAN FESSMAN stated sometime ago we asked that a survey be
made of comparative wage rates and salary schedules of other
cities in this area, and asked if any action had been taken in
this regard. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated the survey is practically
completed and he is ready to present it to the Finance Committee
anytime the Committee wishes. Moved by Fessman, seconded by
Heck, that the matter be referred to the Finance Committee for
their consideration. Carried, all the Council present voting
aye.
VICE MAYOR HOLLINISWORTH asked if the new subdivision law pro-
vides that street lights are to be furnished by the contractor.
CITY PLANNER WAGNER stated he believes it is, however, the matter
has not reached that stage in the Planning Commission's discus-
sions as yet, but it was the intent that it be the requirement;
also fire hydrants, street signs and ornamental street trees.
All of the improvements required in a subdivision will be in,
when accepted by the City.
REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HOUSING GAUTEREAUX was presented.
Net revenue for February was $22,741.24-
REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION was read, regarding Appli-
cation for Conditional Exception No. 542, signed by Kile Morgan,
relative to the property at the southeast corner of l8th and "I".
Petitioner is requesting commercial usage in a residential dis-
trict to construct a real estate office. Ample off street park-
ing will be provided since the property is 50 feet by 85 feet
while the office will be 32 feet by 32 feet. It was the recom-
mendation of the Planning Commission that the Council grant this
variance under the condition that it be used as a real estate
and or contractor's office and not a doctor's office, etc., and
that the 15 foot setback as required in the R-2 Zone be observed
with adequate off street parking to accommodate a minimum of not
less than three cars. Moved by .Heck, seconded by Fessman, that
the Planning Commission's recommendation for the conditional ex-
ception be allowed, and that improvements of sidewalks and curbs
be made in front of the property on "I" Avenue. Carried, all the
Council present voting aye. Moved by Heck, seconded by Jensen,
that the conditional exception be referred to the Attorney for
the preparation of a resolution. Carried, all the Council pre-
sent voting aye.
REPORT FROM THE PLANNIN3 COMMISSION regarding Application for
Conditional Exception No. 543 signed by Arthur M. Huehn, was read,
relative to property at the northwest corner• of 19th and "G".
Petitioner is requesting variance in square footage from 8,000
square feet to 7,812 square feet; also variance in usage from
two family residence to multiple family residence. Petitioner
desires to construct another duplex upon this property. The
Commission recommended the granting of R-2 usage to build on the
shortage of square footage, but use the proposed R-3 setback re-
quirements for front yard and that all other setbacks be observed
as required by the R-2 Zone. One off street parking to be pro-
vided for each unit. Moved by Heck, seconded by Fessman, that
3/27
268
the conditional exception be permitted and they be required to
install sidewalks and curbs on the entire parcel of their prop-
erty as a condition of the granting of the conditional except-
ion, and that it be referred to the Attorney for the preparation
of a resolution. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.
REPORT FROM. THE PLANNIN3 COMMISSION was read, regarding Applicat-
ion for Conditional Exception No. 544 signed by C. E. & Eliza-
beth Stone, 520 Palm Avenue. Petitioners are requesting permis-
sion to establish a beauty shop in the back bedroom of the exist-
ing dwelling and to erect a rustic lamppost and use the words
"Beauty Shop"_ The Planning Commission recommended the granting
of the petition for the uses described, and restricted to that
use, not transferrable or salable and limited to the owner's op-
eration, no additional employees; sign not to exceed 3 square
feet. COUNCILMAN HECK asked if Palm Avenue is to grade in this
particular area. CITY ENSINEER LILL stated it is in better shape
there than it is other places on Palm Avenue; but it would have
to be st Jied to see if it is to a desirable grade; and see if
the strp 73E1tir:g would be desirable for future grading; COUNCIL-
MAN HECK sa5d he thought this should be tabled until the next
meeting and await the Engineer's report to see if the existing
grades would be comparable to what we would require in the future.
Moved by Heck; seconded by Fessman, that the matter be tabled
until the next Council meeting. Carried, all the Council pre-
sent voting aye.
REPORT FROM THE FLANNIN3 COMGMISSION was read, regarding Applicat-
ion for Conditional Exception No. 545 signed by Normal Williams
for Fred's Auto Salva,je, 1904 McKinley Avenue, Petitioner is
requesting to use the p>emises for automotive storage and solvate.
No resale of automobile or parts therefrom, either wholesale or
retail. Mr. Williams stated that since he submitted his request
he has made provisions to purchase an existing salvage yard in
National City and would lil:e permission to store usable automo-
biles only at this location and would not need the variance for a
saivFge yard. Cars will be stored, no parts are to be salvaged,
no -•,rate .ing is to be done and no sales will be made from this lot.
The Commission's interpretation of the ordinance is to allow stor-
age of usable cars, but does not allow salvage and therefo-re the
salvage part was denied. Moved by Jensen, seconded by Fessman,
that the Planning Com;i.ssicn's action be sustained. Carried, all
the Council present voting aye.
COMMUNICATION FROM CITY P`._A7'NER WAiNER was read, stating at the
Planning Commission meeting of March 26, 1956, a communication
from the San Diego County Planning Congress was read, urging ad-
option of a resolution supporting the passage of bills, in the
California State i_egislatuee, for the establishment of an 9ffice
of Physical Planning for the State, a State Planning Officer, and
a complete and properly staffed office of Physical Planning. The
City Planning Commission recognizes the need for such an office
and therefore unanimously passed a resolution in support of the
legislation and respectfully urged the Council to do likewr,se.
If the Council agrees with the Planning Commission's re'ommend-
ation and pass such a resolution- it is urged that copies be mail-
ed immediately to Senators Fred A. Kraft are;' Fred Larr in Scra-
mento, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNIi'k COM .SSION URGINr AL,OPT-
ION OF CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE BILL NO, 28 70 PROVIDE FOR A ( OW-
PLETE AND PROPERLY STAFFED OFFICE OF PHYSICAL PLANNINd, was read.
COUNCILMAN FESSMAN stated he is opposed to any State regulati " n
or State Planning. He said he thought government should be kpt
closer to the people than Sacramento. VICE MAYOR HOLL1N5SWORT`ri
stated we now operate under a State Planning Act. COUNCILMAN
3/2 7
269
FESSMAN stated he recognizes that but the Act is actually an en-
abling act, enabling the cities to govern their own planning act-
ivities, and it is not necessary for a regulation by which the
State Planning Commission can tell any area what kind of industry
they can have in it, or what they can do, and that is what they
could do if the Planning Commission were see up by the State.
COUNCILWOMAN JENSEN was in accord with Councilman Fessman's think-
ing. CITY PLANNER WANNER stated he believes the intent is main-
ly to aid in the coordination of long range plans of all the State
agencies involved. After further discussion, it, was moved bar
Heck, seconded by Hollingsworth, that the Resolution be adopted.
Motion lost, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Heck, Hollings-
worth. Nays: Fessman, Jensen. Absent: Hodge. Moved by Heck,
seconded by Fessman, that the resolution be tabled until the next
Council meeting. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.
VICE MAYOR HOLLINaSWORTH asked that the Planning Commission not
send in their resolution until we have further consideration.
CITY PLANNER WANNER reported that in reflecting on the discussion
of subdivision ordinance requirements with respect to improve-
ments, certain provisions that seem desirable to the Council and
the Planning Commission, have been objected to by the National
City -Chula Vista Realty Board, that is requirements far all the
improvements to be in a subdivision or on streets prior to ac-
ceptance by the City. That is one of our many objections to this
new ordinance which we are going over continuously in our Plan-
ning Commission meetings.
CITY PLANNER WANNER reported on the meeting he attended, at the
invitation of Dr. Miller, Planning Director, of Planners in the
area with respect to small boat harbors. The Planning Commission
is to discuss, on April 9th, the final arguments for the map which
would indicate the proposed development of our bay front and has
included a proposal for a small boat harbor jointly between the
cities of National City and Chula Vista. The matter has been
referred to in the press recently as not acceptable any longer
in Chula Vista. In order to properly indicate to the Planning
Commission and Council whether or not we should show such a joint
small boat harbor on the map, he drafted a letter to the City
Council of Chula Vista in an attempt to settle the matter as to
whether or not Chula Vista is agreeable to a joint project in that
area. The Council of Chula Vista meets tonight and it is hoped
that some official response will be received which will clarify
the situation.
Moved by Heck, seconded by Fessman, that the meeting be closed.
Carried, all the Council present voting aye. Meeting closed at
3:25 P.M.
