A. BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Department, during the course of the City Council's consideration
of the Shell Oil Company's application to establish a service station at the southeasterly
corner of Bonita Road and Bonita Glen Drive, submitted conceptual plans and elevations
for the coordinated development of land in the Bonita Glen area.
2. The City Council, at its meeting of January 27, 1976, reviewed the aforementioned
plans and elevations and instructed staff to prepare a comprehensive specific plan
proposal for Bonita Glen (the specific plan process is designed to promote higher levels
of land use innovation and design flexibility than the City's conventional zoning
regulations).
3. A preliminary "Bonita Glen Specific Plan" was subsequently prepared, and on three
occasions the Planning Department met with property owners of the Bonita Glen area to
discuss the provisions of said specific plan. As a result of these discussions the owners
of a portion of the Bonita Glen site have filed for the subject General Plan amendment.
Staff has included within the proposed amendment the balance of the properties covered
by the specific plan, plus adjacent property which is presently developed with uses
consistent with the "Retail Commercial" designation.

On October 18, 1976, the Planning Commission voted 4-1 (one absent) to recommend
that Council find that the General Plan Amendment will not have any significant impact
on the environment and certify the Negative Declaration on IS-76-53; and that Council
amend the General Plan in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution GPA-76-3
forwarded herewith.

B. ANALYSIS
Land use and zoning on the affected parcels.
The area under consideration for amendment is variously zoned C-C-D, C-N-P, R-3-D,
R-1 and C-1 (County). A neighborhood commercial shopping center and service station
occupy the parcels to the west of Bonita Glen Drive. Four single family dwellings and
vacant land comprise the "Bonita Glen Specific Plan" site.
2. Adjacent General Plan designations.
North - Visitor Commercial
South - Low and High Density Residential
East - Freeway
West - Low and High Density Residential
3. Adjacent zoning and land use.
North - C-V-P; office and restaurant
South - R-E-D; vacant
East - Freeway
West - R-1, R-3-D; single and multiple family dwellings
4. Need for the proposed amendment.
The predominant zone of the site in question is the C-C-D, Central Commercial zone,
which is primarily oriented toward retail commercial and compatible uses. The C-C-D
uses, generally speaking, are those which are suited to the East Chula Vista/Bonita
area, and are the foundation of the Bonita Glen Specific Plan. Therefore, the adoption
and execution of the said specific plan, or one similar in concept, are dependent upon
the prior redesignation of the territory in question from "Visitor Commercial" to "Retail
Commercial" on the plan diagram of the Chula Vista General Plan. Briefly, the specific
plan establishes some design parameters and allows some mixture of visitor commercial
and retail sales uses.
5. Additional considerations.
a. Certain parcels comprising the Bonita Glen Specific Plan are in unincorpor-
ated territory and would require annexation to the City.
b. Application for rezoning of those parcels not currently zoned C-C-D could
be processed subsequent to the adoption of this plan amendment. Should the Bonita Glen
Specific Plan not be implemented thereafter, the underlying C-C-D (P) zone and its
zonal regulations could effectively control the development of the subject acreage.
