1. / SUBJECT: / CONTINUED NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING:
PROPOSED SAN DIEGO COUNTYWIDE PERMANENT ROAD DIVISION NO. 1000, ZONE NO. 1017 - RANCHITO ROADS IN THE ALPINE AREA (DISTRICT: 2)

OVERVIEW:

The Permanent Road Division program is available to unincorporated area property owners as a means to improve and maintain their roads. On May 17, 2006 (9), the Board authorized a mailed ballot proceeding to owners of 36 parcels in the proposed Permanent Road Division Zone No. 1017 – Ranchito Roads, in the Alpine area (Thomas Guide, Page 1253, H-1). The ballot proceeding has now reached completion, with today’s Board hearing being the last opportunity for ballots to be received.
This request is to conduct a public hearing considering formation of the Zone, then continue this item to September 27, when results of the balloting will be reported and the Board will be asked to form, if ballots are in favor.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for administering these requests are budgeted in the Special Districts formation fund. If approved, this request will result in a current year processing cost charged to the formation expense of $6,500. If the district forms, the money will be reimbursed by the new district. The proposed budget for the road improvement is $292,000 which will be financed by loans and repaid through benefit assessments. If the district forms, a subsequent Board letter will request authorization to fund the budget based on a private bank loan of $233,600 and a Permanent Road Division Internal Service Fund loan of $58,400. There is no associated annual cost and no additional staff years are required.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

2.  Conduct a public hearing to receive comments on proposed Permanent Road Division Zone No. 1017 – Ranchito Roads and close acceptance of ballots.
3.  Close the public hearing and continue this item to September 27, 2006 to allow for ballot tabulation.

2. / SUBJECT: / CITY OF SAN MARCOS – UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF THE SYCAMORE DRIVE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE (DISTRICT: 5)

OVERVIEW:

On July 19, 2006 (2), the Board continued, for 60 days, a request by the City of San Marcos for the County to consent to the City’s acquisition of property to accommodate planned improvements to Sycamore Drive in San Marcos. The City is proposing road and other improvements to Sycamore Drive, between Olive Street and the entrance to Walnut Grove Park, near the boundary between the City and the County (Thomas Guide, Page 1108-J2). Construction of the proposed project improvements will affect five properties located within the County’s unincorporated area. In accordance with California Streets and Highways Code, Section 1810, the City must obtain consent from the County prior to the acquisition of necessary right-of-way easements within the County. The action to acquire the property would be at the sole discretion of the City of San Marcos and subject to all necessary procedures for acquisition by purchase or eminent domain.
The City is requesting a continuance for this matter until November 15, 2006 to allow sufficient time to respond to questions and concerns raised at the July 19, 2006 Board hearing.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this request.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
Continue this item until November 15, 2006.
ACTION:
ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by Supervisor Cox, the Board took action as recommended, on Consent, continuing the item to November 15, 2006.

(CARRYOVER FROM 8/2/06, AGENDA NO. 21)

OVERVIEW:

On August 2, 2006 (21), the Board of Supervisors, at the request of the Chief Administrative Officer, continued the item to September 20, 2006.
The Board is requested to approve a new five-year lease, with two three-year options to extend, for 15,290 square feet of office space located at 9150 Chesapeake Drive in San Diego. The leased space will function as the headquarters for the Department of Parks and Recreation. The full service occupancy cost of $27,039 per month (approximately $1.77/sf) is within the range of recent comparable transactions in the Kearny Mesa area of San Diego.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this request are included in the CAO’s approved Operational Plan for Fiscal Years 2006-07 for the Department of Parks and Recreation. If approved, the request will result in a current year cost of $216,312, FY 2007-08 cost of $338,068, and will require no additional staff years. The rent commencement date for the new lease is scheduled for November 1, 2006, following the completion of tenant improvements in the new space.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
1.  Find, in accordance with Section 15301 (a) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, that this project is exempt from the provisions of the Act, because it involves the lease of an existing facility and minor alterations of an existing privately owned structure.
2.  Approve and authorize the Director, Department of General Services to execute three originals of the lease, upon receipt, for the office space located at 9150 Chesapeake Drive, San Diego.
3.  Authorize the Director, Department of General Services to exercise the option(s) to extend the lease, prior to its expiration, if appropriate.

APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION TO APPROVE CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD; MAJOR USE PERMIT MODIFICATION P56-020W1; SWEETWATER COMMUNITY PLANNING AREA (DISTRICT: 1)

OVERVIEW:

This is an appeal filed by William L. Jeremiah of the Planning Commission’s March24, 2006 approval of Major Use Permit Modification P56-020W1.
The request is for a Major Use Permit Modification. The project proposes to modify the existing facilities for the Church of the Good Shepherd in Bonita. A new, 325-seat, 6,027 square-foot, sanctuary with parking and utility improvements is proposed, as well as a cosmetic remodel to the existing facilities. In addition, a new, one-story with basement, 8,800 square-foot building to replace the existing 2,276 square-foot, southernmost classroom building is proposed. This building will be used as a classroom and for meetings and storage. Proposed uses of the site include religious studies, Sunday services, bible study, and special events. A height exception was included in the granting of this Major Use Permit. The height exception allows an increase in height of the cross that will be located on the sanctuary from 35 feet that is allowed by right to a maximum height of 45 feet pursuant to Section 4620(g) of the Zoning Ordinance.
The 3.7-acre site is located at 3990 Bonita Road in the Sweetwater Community Planning Area. The property is zoned RR1, Rural Residential Use Regulation, which allows Civic Use Types: Religious Assembly with the approval of a Major Use Permit pursuant to Section 2185(b) of the Zoning Ordinance. The Major Use Permit Modification is required pursuant to Section 7378 of the Zoning Ordinance. The property is within the (1) Residential General Plan Designation.

6. / SUBJECT: / NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING:
TO VACATE A PORTION OF RAMS HILL ROAD, BORREGO SPRINGS (DISTRICT: 5)

OVERVIEW:

On August 2, 2006 (9), the Board directed the Clerk of the Board to set a public hearing for September 20, 2006 to consider the proposed road vacation.
Borrego Investors LLC, owners and operators of Rams Hill Development has requested that the County initiate proceedings to vacate a portion of Rams Hill Road between Yaqui Pass Road and Rams Hill Drive. The area is immediately adjacent to Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 200-271-04, 05, and 07 (Thomas Guide, Page 1098-F/3).
Rams Hill is a 3,140 acre residential and golf community constructed in the early 1980’s. Borrego Investors is in the process of upgrading the entrance to their gated community. Rams Hill Road is an 800 foot County-maintained roadway that provides primary access from Yaqui Pass Road to Rams Hill Development and the adjacent Borrego Community Health Foundation, a medical facility. Borrego Investors is proposing to construct a more inviting and calming entrance. These plans include relocating the existing guardhouse and gate facility closer to Yaqui Pass Road.
The purpose of this vacation is to relinquish the public interest in that portion of Rams Hill Road that will only serve the Rams Hill Development. Public access to the medical facility will be provided over a portion of Rams Hill Road that will not be vacated. The medical facility will continue to take access from the County maintained public segment of Rams Hill Road.
