1. That the PGDSP is in conformance Frith the City's 2005 General Plan based
on the following:
The proposed PGDSP is in conformance ++'ith and implements the 200> General
Plan. The PGDSP is based on the vision and objectives of the General Plan fer the PGD.
The General Plan largeh' focused on the re+~italization and redevelopment of the +vestem
portion of Chula Vista. Section S.0 of the Land lise and Transportation Element of the
General Plan outlines the vision for the PGD and objectives and policies to implement the
vision. The PGD is identified as one of five "Areas of Change;'' N'hich are areas ++'here
more intensive development; revitalization and/or redevelopment is proposed to occur.
The General Plan vision for PGD includes a Transit Focus .Area (TFA) on and
surrounding the Palomar Transit Siation, higher residential intensity, a neighborhood park
and retail to the south of the TFA. The goal is to provide additional housing and mixed
uses (residential and commercial) that take advantage of a major transit station +vithin
+valking distance. The PGDSP has been prepared pursuant to the General Plan as an
implementing regulatory document and thus sen'es as the primar}' source for policies;
guidelines; and regulations that implement the communit}'`s vision for the PGD. A
comparison of the PGDSP to the General Plan policies related to the PGD is provided in
Table ~.1-3 of the EIR and attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by this
reference. As shown in this table. the PGDSP would be consistent with the General Plan
objectives and policies for the PGD.
Based on the above, the City' Council does hereby find that the proposed PGDSP is
consistent with the 2005 General Plan and that public necessity, convenience, general
+velfare'and good planning and zoning practice support its approval and implementation.
2. That the PGDSP has been prepared in accordance frith the Cih''s Alunicipal
Code and the California Government Code provision governing specific plans based
on the following findings of fact.
Chula Vista ~4unicipal Code Chapter 19.07 (Specific Plans) and California Government
Code Title 7 Division 1 Chapter 3 Article 8 Sections 6540 through 6457 establish the
statutory authority for specific plans. As provided in CVMC Chapter 19:07, specific
plans may be implemented through the adoption of standard zoning ordinances; the
planned community zone as provided in this title or by plan effectuation siandazds
incorporated +vithin the text of an individual specific plan. The method of implementing
an individual specific plan shall be established and expressed by its adopting Resolution
or Ordinance.

Page 6
The~PGDSP is adopted by Ordinance. All zoning related portions of the PGDSP (i.e. land
use matrix; permined uses and development revelations) aze prepared to serve as
regulaton• provisions and supersede other regulations and Ordinances of the City for the
control of land use and development \\ithin the PGDSP boundaries. Other portions, such
as the development desien veidelines provide direction for future p]annine and public
improvement efforts. Future development projects. subdivisions; public improvement
projects and other implementing programs shall be consistent with the adopted PGDSP.
The PGDSP has been prepared as an implementing document for furure land uses; public
improvements and programs as provided for in the 200 General Plan. The new zoning
regulations proposed in the PGDSP (see Exhibit "C" of this Ordinance) would replace
existine CVi`4C zoning classifications for the PGDSP Subdistricts and introduce ne\v
zoning classifications for mixed use (commerciaUresidential) high density residential and
retail commercial as required by the 200 General Plan.
The Cite Council does hereby find that the PGDSP has been prepared pursuant to the
authorih• eranted in CV\4C Chapter 19.07 Specific Plans and California Government
Code Title 7 Division 1 Chapter 3 Article 8 Sections 6450 through 6~4~7 and contains
all the mandaton• elements identified in Government Code Section 6~4>1.
3 That the associated demands on public facilities and sen-ices due to development
allo+ved by the specific plan are identified prior to development and mill be
mitigated prior to or concurrent ++•ith the development and in conformance with the
Cih~ s Gro+rth Management Ordinance, CV~1C Chapter 19.09, based on the
follo+ving findings of fact; and
4 That a financing program has been prepared +vhich identifies the methods for
funding for those facilities and sen-ices and insures that the funds are spent on said
facilities pursuant to the phasing schedule based on the follo+ving findings of fact.
The General Plan was updated in December 200 and created a new vision for the city, .q
large part of that vision focused on the revitalization and redevelopment of western Chula
Vista. New gro\\Zh is planned around smart gro+\nh principles such as mixed use and
vansit oriented development that concentrates infill and redevelopment to select focus
areas and corridors to protect stable single family neighborhoods; better utilize land
resources; reduce environmental effects and make more efficient use of existing
infrastructure. The General Plan calls for the prepazation and adoption of specific plans
to catT• out the vision of the General Plan in an organized and orderly fashion. The
PGDSP implements the policies and objectives of the General Plan to direct a portion of
the ero++Ih expected to occur in the City over the next 20 yeazs to the PGD area b+'
providing zone changes; development regulations and desien guidelines to accommodate
future gro++Th. The PGDSP includes an assessment of the proposed distribution; location
and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation;
se+vage, water; drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities that
\vould be located +vithin the area co\=ered by the plan and needed to support the land uses
described in the plan. In addition; the PGDSP includes a program of implementation

F. City of Chulp Vista Zoning Code
The existing zoning for the PGD was established 30 years ago and is presently out of confcrmance with
the adopted General Plan (Ciy es Chula Vista 2006a) In order to comply with state law and bring tuning
into conformance with the General Plan, the PGDSP proposes new zoning forthe four sv b-districts in tie
PGD Th=_ new zoning includes provisions for land us=_s, building intensity, form, mass, and height as
recommended in the Geneal Pian Tie proposed land uses and development regutations.identified in
the PGDSP would replace the provisions of CVMC Chapters 19.26, 19 30, 1936, 19 40, and 19 44, and
the provisions of the San Diego County Zoning Ordinance C36 and 594 use regulations Where the CVMC
conflicts with the development standards or other provisions of the PGDSP, the PGDSP would apply;
where the PGDSP is si}ent, the CVMC would apply The definitions found in CVMC Chapter i9 04 would
apply to the ?GCS?, except where specific definitions are provided in the PGDSP The zoning
amendments that would occur as a re=_ult Df PGDSP would improve consistency between Ctty punning
