PUBLIC HEARINGS
31. General Plan Amendment 83-1 - Proposal to change approximately 1190 acres
from Specific Plan District 2.0 dwelling units per acre to Specific Plan
District 2.5 dwelling units per acres.
Mayor Unsworth announced that this was the time and place for a public
hearing pursuant to the application of General Plan Amendment 83-1, a
proposal to change density of Ramsgate Specific Plan area from 2.0 dwelling
units per acre to 2.5 dwelling units per acre, located north of 1-15,
east of Highway 74, and asked staff to identify the project and give staff
recommendations.
Mr. Trevino reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of
General Plan Amendment 83-1 and adoption of Resolution No. 83-85.
The amendment to the Land Use Element of the General. Plan is for (l)rede-
signation of 82 acres of Annexation Number 31 (Ramsgate II) from Very Low
Residential to Specific Plan Community, and (2) redesignation of the
density for the entire 1,190 acre Ramsgate Specific Plan Area from 2.0
dwelling units per acre to 2.5 dwelling units per acre. The Ramsgate
Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report justify an increase of one-
half unit per acre in development intensity. The implementation Program
l.la. 11. of the General Plan Land Use Element provides criteria for
granting a IIdensity bonusll for imaginative development, the preservation
and enhancement of public resources, and/or provision of public facilities.
The Ramsgate Specific Plan represents a well designed and conceived
residential project.
The City Clerk reported no correspondence has been received by the City
Clerk's office regarding this project.
Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. asking those in favor
of General Plan Amendment 83-1 to speak. No one asked to speak.
Mayor Unsworth asked those in opposition to General Plan Amendment 83-1
to speak.
--
Eugene Carter, 109 Lowell Street, stated that there was much confusion
surrounding the Ramsgate Project. Mr. Trevino explained that tonight's
hearing was regarding the density of dwelling units per acre. The hearing
scheduled for January 24, 1984 would involve the entire Ramsgate Project.
Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 7:45 p.m.
Mr. Torn stated that the staff report indicates there are three conditions
under which IIdensity bonusll can be granted. He would like to see the
emphasis placed on provision of public facilities as the major condition __
for approval of IIdensity bonus", not merely a well-designed plan.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 83-1 AND RESOLUTION NO. 83-85.

General Plan Amendment 83-3 - Proposal to amend the General Plan Land
Use Element from Tourist Commercial to Specific Plan for 7.72 acres.
Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for a public hearing
pursuant to the application of General Plan Amendment 83-3, changing the
Land Use Element from Tourist Commercial to Specific Plan (4.0 dwelling
units per acre), located at the intersection of Grand Avenue and the Ortega
Highway. He asked staff to identify the project and give recommendations.
Mr. Trevino reported that General Plan Amendment 83-3 - Darwin B. Maxson -
proposed changing the Land Use Element from Tourist Commercial to Specific
Plan (4.0 dwelling units per acre). The project is located on Grand Avenue
at the Ortega Highway intersection. The Planning Commission recommends
approval of General Plan Amendment 83-3 and adoption of Resolution No. 83-85.
Applicant proposes 28 residential lots and 2 commercial lots fronting Grand
Avenue. The subject site is an existing subdivision with infrastructure
already in place. The change of designation would allow the City maximum
control over the development (i.e., development standards and criteria,
types of housing and energy conservation techniques).
The City Clerk stated that no correspondence has been received by the City
Clerk's office regarding this project.
Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing at 7:50 p.m. asking those in favor
of General Plan Amendment 83-3 to'speak. No one asked to speak.
Mayor Unsworth asked those in opposition to General Plan Amendment 83-3
to speak. No one asked to speak.
Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 7:51 p.m.
Mr. Torn stated that, according to the original Tract Map, some of the
existing lots were below the 1270' elevation.. These should be excluded
from approval as they are not buildable per City Ordinance. Mr. Porter
suggested that for clarification, approval should be conditioned to say
that 'owner comply with all conditions of Flood Plane Management Ordinances
of the City!.
MOVED BY VALENZUELA, SECONDED BY MAC MURRAY AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO
APPROVE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 83-3 SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT OWNER
COMPLY WITH ALL CONDITIONS OF FLOOD PLANE ORDINANCES OF THE CITY.
33. General Plan Amendment 83-4 - Proposal amending the Text and Circulation
Map of the General Plan.
Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for a public hearing
pursuant to the application of General Plan Amendment 83-4 proposing
amendment of the Text and Circulation Map of the General Plan, and asked
staff to report and give recommendations.
Mr. Rubel reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of
General Plan Amendment 83-4 and adoption of Resolution No. 83-85. General
Plan Amendment 83-4 consists of two steps, General Plan Amendment 83-4(a)
and General Plan Amendment 83-4(b). GPA 83-4(a) deals with the Circulation
Element of the General Plan and GPA 83-4(b) deals with development stan-
dards in the Country Club Heights area.
General Plan Amendment 83-4(a) proposed to change vehicular traffic cor-
ridor classifications due to certain topographic constraints. The purpose
is to minimize impacts on existing commercial, residential and industrial
development. The proposed changes will lessen the impacts upon the envir-
onment because of proposed reduced widths for some major streets. The
following list identifies the proposed corridor classifications and limits:

Riverside Drive - Collier Avenue to Gunnerson (Strickland Avenue)

General Plan Amendment 83-4(b) proposes to amend the Land Use Element of
the General Plan by a revision to Special Purpose Designation Standard
No. (17), presently entitled IICountry Club Heights Planned Districtll to
be Retitled 11(17) Planned District which includes the Three Country Club
Heights Locations with some Adjacent Areas. II The revision is intended to
emphasize more the need to be innovative and flexible in applying grading,
roadway and development standards because of the extreme variations in
the topography. The prohibition for sewer extension is proposed to be
eliminated. Staff recommends approval of General Plan Amendment 83-4.
The City Clerk stated that no correspondence has been received by the
City C1erk1s Office regarding this project.
Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing at 8:07 p.m. asking those in
favor of General Plan Amendment 83-4 to speak. No one asked to speak.
Mayor Unsworth asked those in opposition to General Plan Amendment 83-4
to speak.
Dick Knapp, 29690 Dwan Drive, in the Country Club Heights area, asked for
clarification of General Plan Amendment 83-4(b). and if the area was to
be down-zoned. Mr. Rubel explained that there would be no change in the
zoning, however, in working with developers, it has become apparent that
it is, in most cases, impossible to develop any of the lots in this hilly
area and still conform to our existing grading ordinance and street width
requirements. Approval of this amendment would allow staff to develop an
ordinance for Council approval, which would allow individual consideration
of building sites. This would allow for development while retaining the
beauty of the hillsides. Also, this is necessary in order to protect
substantial property rights.
William S. Buck stated he was not in opposition to the amendment but would
like to know if there would be any change in zoning. Mr. Trevino stated
there would be no change. Zone changes would have to be heard by the
Planning Commission and approved by City Council. This would give staff
more flexibility and puts developers and owners on notice that'they can
be more creative in their ideas. Staff decisions could be appealed to
Council.
.....
Marshall Raynor, KOR Company, representing a client who is anxious to
build in the Country Club Heights area, stated he is in favor of the ...
amendment but would like guidance on what channels to follow in order to
assure approval of a project prior to encountering large expenses. Mr.
Trevino explained that each project would be evaluated by staff and staff
would meet with the developer.
Dick Murphy, 29362 Swan, asked if this amendment had to do with on-site
improvements or with the present hillside ordinance. Mr. Trevino stated
the present ordinance is very restrictive. This amendment would allow
more flexibility.
Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 8:27 p.m.

General Plan Amendment 83-4 - Proposal amending the Text and Circulation
Map of the General Plan - Continued.
Lengthy Council discussion ensued regarding the proposed change of width
of Collier Avenue to 100 feet. The portion of Collier Avenue which is a
State Highway is required by Cal Trans to be 100 feet wide. The easterly
portion of Collier is not a State Highway and the 100 foot width is not
required. There is an alignment problem and the centerline has not been
determined,which is necessary in order to obtain property dedications.
Also, the Santa Fe Railroad right-of-way runs along a portion of Collier.
Moved by Torn, seconded by Knight to approve General Plan Amendment 83-4.

hearing pursuant to the application of General Plan Amendment 83-5 and

Mr. Trevino reported that General Plan Amendment 83-5 - William S. Buck -
is a proposal to change the Land Use Element from Medium Density to High

ment would change the density of the property from Medium Density Residen-
tial (6.1 to 12.0 dwelling units per acre) to High Density Residential
(12.1 to 32 dwelling units per acre). After a field survey, staff has
determined that the higher density designation is compatible with surroun-
ding land usage and would be appropriate. The Planning Commission
recommends approval of General Plan Amendment 83-5 and Resolution No. 83-85.
The City Clerk stated that no correspondence has been received by the City
Clerk's office regarding this project.

surrounding land uses and in conformance with the General Plan.
The City Clerk stated that no correspondence has been received by the City
Clerk's office regarding this project.

manhole at Matich Street. Staff is proposing a master sewer plan in
Lakeshore Drive and suggesting that Mr. Stokes should contribute towards
the future master sewer plan. Also, before allowing the temporary pump
connection across Lakeshore Drive, Mr. Stokes should record a bonded lien agree-
ment to guaranty a payment of $5,000.00 to implement the future master
sewer plan for this area. The agreement has been approved by the City
Attorney and Mr. Stokes has indicated agreement.
Council discussed various aspects of the agreement and consensus was to
amend agreement to state that future use of the property shall be restricted
to commercial or recreational use only, not residential.
-
Mr. Stokes addressed Council and stated that he had checked with insurance
companies and found the cost for bonding is $500.00 per year. He felt this
was prohibitive and could not afford this expense. He and Council discussed
various alternatives. Mr. Torn suggested that the City could record a
$5,000.00 note against the property.
Consensus was to direct Mr. Porter to prepare amended agreement and prepare
necessary paper work and bring back to Council at the next meeting.

write a letter to the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau asking for a review of our fire
rating. Mr. Trevino will follow-up.
