The City Council has reviewed the Initial Study and any comments thereon and hereby adopts Negative Declaration IS-87-50 attached hereto as Exhibit B; and B. The City Council of the City of Chula Vista finds, based on the following findings, that the proposed public improvements, subject to conditions listed in Exhibit A, is consistent with the intent of the policies of the certified Chula Vista Local Coastal Program: 1. the project is located within the existing dedicated right-of-way of Bay Boulevard adjacent to developed industrial property. Proposed improvements are consistent with the land use and circulation elements of the Bayfront Specific Plan. 2. The project is not located adjacent to coastal resources and does not provide direct access to the shoreline. However, the public improvements propesed to be installed will enhance vehicle and pedestrian circulation within the Bayfront area. 3. All proposed work will be undertaken on developed or ~ disturbed lands. There are no significant natural plant or wildlife species present or which depend on the project site. Implementation of improvements will not result in any significant impact on natural resources. 4. Proposed drainage improvements will connect to existing drainage facilities currently out flowing into the San Diego Bay. The additional storm water anticipated to enter the system is minimal and will not require any new downstream improvements.

Project Setting The project site involves the public right-of-way within Bay Boulevard just to the west of Interstate 5 between "j" Street and "F" Street. There are no kn6wn geologic hazards in the area; however, it is quite probable that expansive soils are present. Groundwater may underlie the project site; however, it would have a high saline content and, therefore, is not a good resource. No substantial changes are expected to occur in drainage patterns or volumes of drainage. The pro3ect site is not subject to inundation during a lO0-year frequency flood; however, it is 1 ocated within the Zone B area of the Flood Insurance Mapping of the Federal Government which indicates subject to a flood during a 500-year frequency. Although the improvements are of a transportation nature, they are quite minor and will not in any way affect air quality. In general, traffic volumes will not be affected by these improvements and, therefore, air quality and noise effects will not occur. There are no biological nor cultural resources within the bayfront public right-of-way. The project implementation will be in accordance with the Bayfront Specific Plan and, therefore, will have no substantial aesthetic impact. There are no residences within the project area. There are no businesses that will be affected by these improvements. The project will not affect in any way the ability of the City to provide infrastructure services to the bayfront; rather, these are improvements that will provide additional capacity for the City to serve the bayfront area. Although these improvements are of a transportation nature and could be construed to provide additional access to the area, it is concluded that these improvements are not growth inducing in nature. There will be no additional lanes or right-of-way acquired nor improved; rather, the existing facilities will be upgraded to meet existing standards and the standards of the Bayfront Specific Plan. k,,, city of chula vista planning department Cllt'OF environmental review section _CHUIA VISTA ~__ -2- B. Project Description The project consists of street improvements within the Bay Boulevard public right-of-way. They will include curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Approximately 200,000 sq. ft. of area will be paved either for public streets or sidewalk. This will require minimal grading because of the topography of the area. Certain drainage facilities will be require to protect the improvements. These include: 1. 12" RCP across Bay Boulevard south of "F" Street. 2. A 24" RCP across Bay Boulevard north of "G" Street. 3. An 18" RCP across Bay Boulevard north of "H" Street with two inlets. All of these facilities will drain toward San Diego Bay and exit from existing drainage facilities. The project does include the removal of approximately ll eucalyptus trees between "G" and "H" Street on the west side of Bay Boulevard. C. Compatibility, with Zoning and Plans The proposed project is in conformance with the Bayfront Specific Plan which is the implementational tool of the Local Coastal Program for the Coastal Zone in the City of Chula Vista. Therefore, the proposed project is in conformance with zoning and plans for the area. D. Identification of Environmental Effects The only identified environmental effect which could result from project implementation regards the expansive soils in the area of the project. Through standard development regulations, any adverse soil conditions will be identified and mitigated during grading of the property. F. Findings of Insignificant Impact 1. The project site contains no significant manmade nor natural resources which could be impacted due to the development of the property. There are no geological hazards present which could substantially impact the project. There are potentially adverse soil conditions which could adversely impact the project; however, through standard mitigation measures, any substantially significant environmental impact can be avoided. 2. The project conforms to the Bayfront Specific Plan and, therefore, the General Plan of the City of Chula Vista. The proposed project involves the relatively minor improvements of an existing public ri ght-of-way that implement 1 ong-term goal s and there are no short-term impacts that could inhibit the achievement of long-term goals. -3- 3. As was noted in the discussion above, the proposed project does not involve the addition of any public right-of-way or traveling capacity within the circulation system for the bayfront that can be construed to be growth inducing nor would involve any cumulatively significant impact. There will be other street improvements within the Bayfront Specific Plan area. These will be in accordance with the Bayfront Specific Plan for which an environmental impact report was prepared and addressed the issue of any growth-inducing aspects. 4. The project does not propose nor will it result in any increase in traffic volumes that could foreseeably result in an increase in air pollution nor acoustical impact. Any soils problems within the project area can be dealt with and, therefore, there would be no substantial adverse impacts on human beings. G. Consultation 1.
