(Supv. Dist: 5)

OVERVIEW:

This is an appeal of the Planning and Environmental Review Board's decision to deny a Time Extension for a 165-lot, 442-acre Planned Residential Development previously approved by the Board of Supervisors because it does not conform to the current Bonsall Community Plan.

4. SUBJECT: Establishment of Descanso Planning Group

(Supv. Dist: 2)

OVERVIEW:

Supervisor Dianne Jacob's Board Letter adopted February 18, 1998 (2).

On February 18, 1998, the Board of Supervisors directed the Chief Administrative Officer to return with a proposal to change the Descanso Sponsor Group to a planning group consisting of nine members.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this request are budgeted. The funding source is the Registrar of Voters. If approved this request will result in no current year cost, $1,000 annual cost and the addition of no staff years.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Authorize the conversion of the Descanso Sponsor Group to a community planning group, with the same boundaries, as follows:

a. Determine that the Descanso Community Planning Group shall consist of nine members, with individuals receiving the four highest numbers of votes being assigned to even-numbered seats receiving terms to expire on the first Monday after January 1, 2003, and the individuals receiving the next five highest numbers of votes being assigned to odd-numbered seats receiving terms to expire on the first Monday after January 1, 2001, and waive the provisions of Board of Supervisors Policy I-1 Planning and Sponsor Group Policies and Procedures which may be in conflict with these determinations.

b. Direct the Registrar of Voters to hold a planning group election in November 1998 as part of the general election for the purpose of electing a nine member planning group for Descanso.

c. Effective January 4, 1999, establish the Descanso Community Planning Group and concurrently disestablish the Descanso Sponsor Group.

ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded by Supervisor Horn, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent.

AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn

5. SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Agreement Between the County of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista Regarding Jurisdiction over the Otay Landfill

(Supv. Dist: 1)

OVERVIEW:

On May 15, 1996, the County and the City of Chula Vista entered into an Agreement regarding jurisdiction over the Otay Landfill (Agreement). That Agreement dealt with, among other things the detachment of the Western portion of the Otay Landfill, generally known as Old Otay, from the City of Chula Vista and the development of a 1,000 foot buffer around the landfill. Chula Vista agreed to revise its General Plan, Zoning and other applicable land use regulations for the buffer within 730 days of the date of the Agreement. Chula Vista is requesting an amendment to that Agreement to extend the deadline for these actions to be completed, and the Board of Supervisors' response to certain General Plan Amendments being undertaken by the City.

FISCAL IMPACT:

These actions would result in no expenditures of funds, require no additional staff years and will have no impact on the General Fund.

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:

Preserving compatible land uses in the 1,000 foot buffer is favorable to businesses that operate and rely upon the Otay Landfill.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Adopt the Agreement entitled First Amendment to Agreement Between the County of San Diego and The City of Chula Vista Regarding Jurisdiction Over and Operation of the Otay Landfill, substituting 910 days in lieu of 730 days where the latter term is used in Section 6 (a) of the Agreement.

2. Concur with Chula Vista's proposal that light industrial uses be allowed in the 1,000 foot buffer around the Otay Landfill complex. Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to communicate the Board's concurrence to the City of Chula Vista.

3. Find that any public and quasi-public use, including educational or other uses involving sensitive receptors in the 1, 000 foot buffer would be incompatible with the Otay Landfill Complex and direct the Chief Administrative Officer to communicate the Board's finding to the City of Chula Vista.

ACTION:

ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded by Supervisor Horn, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent.

AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn
