Amended lease for Belmont Park should help preserve historic roller coaster and repair pool By DAVE SCHWAB The San Diego City Council voted 7-2 to approve an amended lease agreement for long-term operation and maintenance of Belmont Park, Plunge pool and Giant Dipper, its historic wooden roller coaster in Mission Beach. In November 2012, Pacifica Enterprises LLC acquired the park leasehold in a bankruptcy trustee sale. Pacifica Enterprises, along with Eat.Drink.Sleep, assumed operations of the park and started restoring and revitalizing it opening new restaurants, including Cannonball, Draft, Belmonty's Burgers, and Hot Dog on a Stick, as well as doing a remodel of WaveHouse Beach Club. Following the April 6 vote, Councilwoman Lorie Zapf ’s office

said the city and interested parties negotiated “a better deal for taxpayers.” “In this new deal, Symphony has agreed to increase capital improvements from $10 million to $18 million, with the potential for $5 million more if the lease is renewed in the future,” said Zapf, noting new lease terms require SEE LEASE, Page 11

Looking toward an April 22 City Council committee meeting on the issue, the dialogue on the need to rein in short-term vacation rentals (STVRs) in Pacific Beach is continuing, with the general consensus being that Councilwoman Lorie Zapf ’s proposal recommending permitting, without addressing the STVRs that are located in single-family zones, may not be sufficient. “My office has studied comparable cities such as Encinitas, Portland and San Luis Obispo that currently have regulations on short-term vacation rentals,” said Zapf in a memo. “We found that

each city managed shortterm vacation rentals in a variety of different ways but with some commonalities. All cities required some type of permit.” Zapf said she and her staff have worked closely with community stakeholders representing both homeowners and vacaSEE RENTALS, Page 11

City obligated to dredge Briarfield Cove in Mission Bay By MANNY LOPEZ It has taken years to sort out who is responsible, but the City of San Diego has begun the job of dredging sand from Briarfield Cove – a half circle of private beach crossed by a pedestrian bridge in Mission Bay Park on the south and enclosed by single family homes on the north. Workers from the city’s Park and Recreation Department began work on the project in mid-February, which involves removing about 4,000 cubic yards of sand to restore the cove to its original contours and depths, therefore giving Briarfield Cove homeowners access to Mission Bay. “As a condition put forward by the Army Corp of Engineers in 1986 – when the city removed sand from the middle of the bay and moved it toward the edges to make beach around the bay – the city agreed to correct the situation at taxpayer expense if the cove silted-in with sand as a result of the city’s work,” said Paul Jacob, associate civil engineer for the City of San Diego. Jacob said that when the pedestrian bridge was built in 1994, there was enough tidal flow under the bridge to allow homeowners access to the bay. He added that over time, the tide has slowly deposited sand into the cove and closed off its mouth blocking water from reaching the area north of the bridge. To begin the project, the city uti-

Earthmoving machines remove sand from under the bridge.

lized a crane on the bayward side of the pedestrian bridge to lift several Bobcat earthmoving machines into the cove to dig a tunnel under the overpass. Dredged sand is then loaded onto city dump trucks by frontloading excavators and transported to Fiesta Island, where the city maintains a sand management area. Jacob said that under normal circumstances, a project such as Briarfield Cove could be completed within a matter of days but that since the cove is bordered by homes and adjacent to Mission Bay Park, crews are limited to daylight hours of the week during lowtide, which gives them only three to four hours

per day and three to four days during the week, which extended the completion time. A permit was granted in February by the Coastal Commission allowing crews to work until the annual beach area construction moratorium, which limits non-emergency construction work during the summer period from Memorial Day to Labor Day, to minimize the impact on the beach area and residents. According to Scott Robinson, a public information officer with the City of San Diego’s Public Works Department, the project is estimated to cost more than $48,000 in overtime and equipment rentals fees.

Jacob explained that no one was paying attention and the city didn’t know it was required to maintain the cove until owners’ wanting to keep the inlet open, brought it up in 2007. He said that he contacted the Army Corp of Engineers and found out that the agreement runs in perpetuity, and the city had to dredge. Some residents raised concerns about water quality and environmental impacts related to the dredging. Jacobs said that in order to stay away from living biological resources and eel grass – which is a species of special biological significance given its role in providing egg-laying and nursery habitat for fish species – a raised sand berm buffer was created to separate work from the beach. Other residents expressed concerns that excavating sand would undermine improvements they’ve made to their properties over the years. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

Have faith and buy a house of the holy in Pacific Beach By DAVE SCHWAB Now’s your chance to turn church bells into doorbells, as the Pacific Beach Faith Center site at 1376 Grand Ave. is for sale with a $1.25 million price tag. “I’ve never done a church before, but I like the challenge,” said Josie Sarullo, Prudential Dunn Realtor’s listing agent for the nearly 4,000square-foot church structure on a 6,299-square-foot lot at the corner of Grand Avenue and Gresham Street. Sarullo said the church property has definite “possibilities.” “I did some homework and found out that converting churches to homes is a huge fad nationwide,” she said. “They don’t have to be big fancy churches, just little churches and people who love the idea of living in a ‘holy home.’ ” Sarullo pointed out the Grand Avenue church is uniquely “positioned,” offering plenty of open space to be used by its next owner. “We’re talking musicians, art collectors, yoga instructors, even a chef

who could use that space,” said Sarullo, noting the church has a huge kitchen. “You could have cooking classes,” Sarullo said. “We’re looking for someone who’d like to turn this into a mini-mansion by the beach. It would be perfect.” Noting that converting the church for residential use will undoubtedly “cost money,” Sarullo pointed out the property is just five blocks from Mission Bay and six blocks from the ocean. “That close to the beach, $1.25 million is a hell of a deal,” she said. Bishop Tom Murray of the Faith Center said the church’s congrega-

tion has shrunk from 100-plus a decade or so ago to about 15 today. He said many of those parishioners commute from outside the beach area, so it’s logical for the church to relocate elsewhere. Murray said the church "has been there forever," dating back to the early 1940s. He said many of the church's original parishioners were Oklahomans who fled to Southern California to escape the Dust Bowl. On the plus side, Murray said the church has just one story and is configured in such a way that it “would make a very nice house because it really doesn’t have that

‘church architecture’ look. Its brick and mortar and could be easily converted to anywhere from two- to four bedrooms.” Parking onsite, however, is limited and a problem, as it is along much of the beachfront, Murray said. Faith Center intends to continue operating out of its present site until the property’s sold. Though the church property’s only been listed a couple weeks, Sarullo said, she’s “gotten a call every day on it.” For more information, call Prudential Dunn at (858) 353-6649 or email j_sarullo@yahoo.com.

Community ‘He deserves to be punished very severely. This case cries out for consecutive sentences… and to send a message.’ DAVID GILL SAN DIEGO SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE

PORN >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

Bollaert was convicted Feb. 2 of six extortion counts in which he was charged with demanding payment between $250 and $350 to have the photos taken down. The jury also convicted him of 21 counts of identity theft in which the victims’ full names, hometowns, ages and sometimes work addresses and school history were posted. Deputy Attorney General Tawnya Austin said Bollaert made $30,000 in the scheme. San Diego Superior Court Judge David Gill turned down the defense request for probation, saying that was “completely off the table” because of the damages that occurred to the victims’ lives. “He deserves to be punished very severely,” said Gill. “This case cries out for consecutive sentences… and to send a message. We have to honor the human dignity and incredible devastation (by victims).” Gill's sentence surpassed the 10year minimum Austin had sought, adding that the 18-year term was the maximum. Bollaert will be serving the 18year term in the San Diego County jail instead of state prison; this is allowed for certain nonviolent offenders under California’s public safety realignment law. Gill noted that Bollaert will likely be released after he serves nine actual years in local jails. Bollaert, who will become the sheriff’s department’s longest-held prisoner until 2024, received credits for 62 days spent in jail. He had been free on $50,000 bond until the verdict, when Gill remanded him to jail. He was fined $12,044. Attorney General Kamala Harris said Bollaert’s sentencing marked the nation's first criminal conviction of “a cyber-exploitation website operator.” Harris described Bollaert’s crimes as “sitting behind a computer, committing what is essentially a cowardly and criminal act.” Victims attending the sentencing told the judge about the trauma that occurred after they discovered the photos. Some of the images were emailed to their parents or co-workers. One woman said her parents kicked her out of the home and that she lost her car and her job. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

tion rental hosts to “identify a solution that protects the community fabric in single-family residential zones and supports small businesses that are currently in compliance.” In her memo, Zapf recommends that city staff revise language in the current municipal code to meet the following goals: Define the term “short-term vacation rental” in the municipal code; Require a renewable permit for the operation of any shortterm vacation rental citywide; Determine permit fees that are cost recoverable and will be used toward the management and enforcement of the permit; Require a posted 24/7 contact with a name and phone number on the property as part of the permit; Institute an enforcement process that includes fines and revocation of permit for repeat viola-

tors; identify additional funding for the Community-Assisted Party Program (CAPP) to respond to citizen complaints; and Require tourist occupancy tax (TOT) collection and payment from short-term vacation rental hosts. Chris Olson, a longtime member of the Pacific Beach Planning Group, said he “respectfully goes against” Zapf ’s proposal. “I generally agree with her approach to implement a permit system,” Olson said. “But she is completely ignoring the primary issue, destruction of the neighborhood fabric. In coastal communities, long-term residents are being displaced by property management companies renting to weekly tourists all year long.” Olson said his “neighbors are leaving,” pointing out, within a block of his home, that there are six homes that have recently converted to STVRs. “They were (once) part of the fabric that held our community together and were displaced for one reason: There is a financial incentive to convert properties to

Pacifica to spend $5.9 million to fix the city-owned Plunge pool. Pacifica will also be responsible for all the repairs and maintenance of the Plunge going forward for the remainder of the lease term. “Without this new provision, the Plunge would have been closed for years and added to the city’s multi-billion dollar deferred maintenance backlog,” Zapf said noting the amusement park’s most recent owners have “invested millions to bring new life to the once-dilapidated amusement park, turning it into a world-class, family-friendly destination.” Zapf added Pacifica’s investment has “had a positive ripple effect on the entire Mission Beach neighborhood. There are more customers visiting nearby businesses, crime is down significant-

ly, and with this new agreement, the historic Plunge pool will open far sooner than had been possible if the city was funding repairs.” Others testifying at the April 6 Council hearing shared Zapf ’s views that Pacifica is doing an

STVRs,” he said, adding, “ $500 a night is cheap if you have 12 to 15 people.” The STVR policy, said Olson, must address the trend of converting coastal neighborhoods from residential to visitor-commercial. “Zapf ’s proposal does nothing to limit the spread of this displacement,” Olson said. “Soon there will be nobody to volunteer on the PB Planning Group or town council, no kids in our schools, nobody to clean up graffiti or pick up trash and no eyes on the street to assist the police. “If our leaders allow STVRs to continue proliferating, they better make sure to direct the STVR transient occupancy tax for more police, more trash pick-up, more code enforcement and plan for higher water use and other infrastructure needs to support the change in land use.” Olson’s sentiment was being echoed by others in the community sharing their views on Nextdoor.com.

excellent job revitalizing Belmont Park. Several residents from Mission Beach and environs paraded to the microphone to testify that Pacifica has “turned a dilapidated amusement park and shopping area into a world-class destination.” Former lifeguard and councilman Byron Wear said it was important to “get the Plunge pool back into operation.” Wendy Crain, general manager for the Coaster Co., which operates the park’s roller coaster, said it was important to “merge the two leaseholders” on the property. Crain noted Belmont Park improvements have been impressive, noting “Pacifica, in two short years, as been able to not only remodel but completely repair restrooms onsite, which had been atrocious.” Councilwoman Sherri Lightner and Councilman David Alvarez of cast the dissenting votes.
