AMENDMENT #3 TO THE
CERTIFIED CHULA VISTA LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM
Section 19.87.07
A. Modify Section 19.87.07 Grading and Drainage on page 38 as follows:
All grading activities ~//lzil~//r/q/a/d'///j/c~/c/t/a/$/~ and installation
of erosion sedimentation devices shall be prohibited within the
period from November 1 to April 1 of each year~ with the exception
of grading and stockpiling activities on properties located within
the inland parcel located east of Interstate 5.
Permits issued for grading on properties within the inland parcel may
include a special provision for grading and installation of erosion
controi devices between November I and April I based on a
case-by-case review of grading plans for adequate protection from
siltation in wetlands.""'3T~T'o~"~t~ deposition of dredged material,
dikes must be constructed to safely contain the fill material. Silt
fences or other acceptable preventive measures shali be required to
minimize the potentia! for siltation in wetlands from other grading
and stocKpiling activities.
Because of the potential for siltation in wetland areas that could
result from grading during wet months, the following additional
measures will be required for grading within the Inland Parcel
- Prior to issuing Coastal Development permits or amending
existing Coastal Development permits to allow grading and
installation of erosion control devices, grading plans will be
reviewed for adequate protection from siltation in wetlands.
- Prior to the deposition of dredged material, dikes must be
constructed to safely contain the dredged material.
- Silt fences or other acceptable measures for the prevention of
siltation will be required to minimize the potential for
siltation in wetlands.
All permanent erosion control devices shall be developed and
installed prior to any on-site grading activities.
All areas disturXb~Xed by grading shall be planted with 60 days
of the initial' disturbance and prior to November 1, (within the
Inland Parcel the date shall be specified) with temporary or
permanent (in the case of finished slopes) erosion control methods.
Such planting shall be accomplished under the supervision of a
licensed landscape architect and shall consist of seeding, mulching,
fertilization and irrigation adequate to provide 90% coverage within
90 days. Planting shall be repeated if the required level of
coverage is not established. This requirement shall apply to all
distur~b~ed soils including stockpiles~ and properties within
the ~nland parcel. The requirement for planting prior to November 1
shall not apply, however, to properties within the Inland Parcel for
which specific exceptions to the grading period are granted through
the coastal development permit process.

PROJECT NAME: Local Coastal Program Amendment for Exception to Grading Prohibition
PROJECT LOCATION: Chula Vista Coastal Zone -- Inland Parcel (east of Interstate 5)
PROJECT APPLICANT: Mr. John Fischer
CalTrans, District 11
P.O. Box 85406
San Diego, CA. 92138-5406
CASE NO: IS-88-6 DATE: August 7, 1987
A. Project Setting
In a letter dated February 13, 1987, Mr. John Fischer, District Design
Engineer for CalTrans, requested an exception to Section 19.87.07 of the
Chula Vista Bayfront Specific Plan which prohibits grading activities
within the period from November 1 to April l' each year. Prior to granting
approval for the requested exception, the City of Chula Vista must amend
its Local Coastal Program (LCP).
The exception was requested by CalTrans because the contractor working on
the Sweetwater Flood Control Channel/State Route 54 project would like to
place fill on the property just east of Broadway and south of the flood
control channel. That property is referred to as the inland parcel in the
City's LCP. Figure 1 shows the precise location of the inland. parcel.
B. Project Description
The proposed project entails amending the Chula Vista Bayfront Specific
Plan (which is also the zoning,ordinance for the Chula Vista Coastal Zone)
to allow grading and stockpiling activities on properties located within
the inland parcel between November 1 and April 1. Approvals for grading
between November 1 and April 1 would be granted only following a review of
specific grading {or stockpiling) plans to ensure that adequate protection
from siltation in wetlands will be provided. The landscaping requirements
in Section 19.87.07 will continue to apply to the inland parcel.
C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans
Grading in the Chula Vista Coastal Zone is prohibited between November 1
and April 1 each year by Section 19.87.07 of the Bayfront Specific Plan
(the zoning ordinance). The proposed LCP amendment would allow for
exceptions to the prohibition on grading within the inland parcel between
November 1 and April 1 each year following a case-by-case review of
grading plans to ensure adequate protection from siltation in wetlands.

D. Identification of Environmental Effects
/ The potential environmental effects of amending the Bayfront Specific Plan
f to allow exceptions to the grading prohibition between November 1 and
. April 1 on properties located within the inland parcel include:
- Siltation in wetlands may occur if grading is allowed between
November 1 and April 1.
- Fill material may not be adequately contained (resulting in siltation
in wetlands) if deposition of dredged material is allowed between
November 1 to April 1.
E. Findings of Insignificant Impact
Based on the following circumstances, the potential environmental effects
were found to be less than significant.
Prior to issuing Coastal Development Permits or amending existing
Coastal Development Permits to allow grading and installation of
erosion control devices, grading plans will be reviewed for adequate
protection from siltation in wetlands.
Prior to the deposition of dredged material, dikes must be
constructed to safely contain the dredged material.
The potential for siltation in wetlands resulting from allowing
grading and stockpiling activities between November 1 and April 1
will be minimized by requiring silt fences or other acceptable
preventive measures.
