located at 43� Third Avenue. The Colony project ��ill provide a 162-unit; 5-story mixed-
use building in a Transit Focus azea on Third Avenue, consistent ���ith the Urban Core
Specific Plan.
This project is going through the consolidated review process, in accordance with the
Consolidation of Processing regulations contained in Municipal Code Section
19.14.050(C). The decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the project has
been consolidated to the highest decision maker, which is the City Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has completed a Secondazy Study (IS-12-002) in
order to determine project consistency with the Urban Core Specific Plan EIR (PEIR-06-
O1). Based on the environmental analysis contained within this Secondary Study, the
proposed action will not have any significant effect on the environment other than as
identified in the PEIR.
ln addition, the rezoning of the parcels to an Urban Core density of up to 60 du/acre was
analyzed in the 2005 General Plan Update EIR (EIR-OS-01) as part of the 2005 General
Plan Update. The proposal is consistent �s�ith the analysis and conclusions of EIR-OS-01.
Therefore, no negative declazation, subsequent environmental impact report, supplement
to environmental impact report, or addendum to environmental impact report has been
prepazed.
RECOA'IMENDATION
City Council adopt the Ordinance and the Resolutions.
BOARDS/COM114ISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission adopted Resolution RCZ-12-03, on September 25, 2013,
recommending that the City Council amend the Zoning Map established by Chula Vista
Municipal Code (CVMC) Section 19.18.010 to rezone 2 multi-family lots located on the
north side of Alvarado Street (APNs 568-511-18 and 568-511-19) from an e�isting
Multi-Family Residential Zone (R-3) to an Urban Core Zone (UGl); based on the
findings contained in the Planning Commission Resolution (Attachment 3).
DISCUSSION
Sweerivater Union High School District acquired the property at 435 Third Avenue in the
1990s, through an exchange agreement with the City of Chula Vista, and with the
intention of building a new administrati��e headquarters on the site. The original
de��elopment plans did not come to fruition, but the District recentiy submitted plans for a
new mixed-use development. The new proposal includes a rezone for two of the pazcels
(from R-3 to UC-1), a design review permit for one mixed-use building that spans the
entire 2.61-acre site, and a Tentative Map to allow the units to be sold individually as
condominiums. The table below shows the seven parcels that aze part of the overall
development of the site. The two parcels that are being rezoned aze shaded in grey.

1. Rezone
In D4ay 2007. the Cit}� Council adopted the Urban Core Specific Plan (UCSP);
rezoning 690 acres identified as the Cin�'s Urban Core to allo�u for miaed-use
development. Five of the seven parcels o«med by the District at the project site
�tere rezoned to UG1 at that time, �=hile nio of the parcels remained R-3.
The Cummings Initiati��e
The Controlled Residential De��elopment Ordinance (a.k.a.; Cummings Initiati��e
«�as approved by voters in 1988 (Ordinance 2309) and pro�ides a means of
controlling residential erowth to keep pace ���ith infrastructure needs. In
accordance �;�ith the ordinance, rezonine of propert�� desiQnated for residential
development is permitted onh� to the next hiehest residential density cateeory in
an}�ti��o-�°eaz period as follo���s:
A Aericultural
R-E Residential Estate Zone
R-1 Single Familv Residential Zone
R-2 One- and T���o- Familv Residential Zone
R-3 Apartment Residential Zone
A'hen the UCSP ���as approved in April 2007, the City Council deferred the
rezonine of select properties that «�ere residentially zoned or had mobile home or
trailer parks located on the propert}�. Since the deferral, staff has undertal:en a
preliminar}� analvsis of the residentiallv zoned properties and their potential
upzonine for compliance "�ith CVMC 19.80 (Cummings Initiati��e). The
Cumrnines Initiative did not identifi� a hieher residential zone than R-3. nor did it
address tt�e fact that H ithin R-3. there are �arious levels of densiri� allo���ed. For
eaample; R-3H allo�i�s densities of approsimately » units per acre;� ���hich is
' The R-3H Zone allo�vs minimum unit size of S00 square feet.

roughly equivalent to an Urban Core zone (allows up to 60 units per acre). Also,
the Cummings Initiative did not account for mixed-use zoning. Mixed-use 2ones
cunently exist in the City's Urban Core that allow residential densities of 28-60
units per acre.
Since 1988, several changes haee tal:en place that ensure the City's gowth does
not impact em�ironmental quality or the quality of life in general:
• Development Impact Fees have been instituted (and are updated
regularly), ensuring new development pays its fair share of infrastructure
costs in a timely manner. Impact fees are based on anticipated
infrastructure needs such as roads, police, libraries; se���ers and parks.
• In 2005, the City of Chula Vista's General Plan was updated, redefining
the City's vision for the Urban Core Subarea portion_of the General Plan.
• In 2007, the Urban Core Specific Plan was adopted, and its EIR made
provisions for mitigation and infrastructure programs.
The tools are in place to plan for and control the rate of residential grow�th;
however, since the Controlled Residential Development Ordinance is still in
place, an analysis is done for zoning modifications to ensure compliance with the
Municipal Code.
Project Area (LJGl)
The General Plan Update (2005) foresaw the need for new more dense land use
designations, such as the Mixed-Use Transit Focus Area designation. Mixed-Use
Transit Focus Areas are ]ocated within approximately %< mile of existing and
planned transit stations, and are intended for the highest intensity of mixed-use
residential environment. The designation allows a mix of residential, office and
retail uses in areas that are pedestrian-friendly and have a strong linkage to
provision of transit.
The Urban Core Specific Plan H�as adopted in 2007, implementing the General
Plan vision for the Urban Core. In accordance with the General Plan, the UG1
zone (alone Third Avenue north and south of H Street) calls for a high density
miY of uses with close proximity to transit.
The proposed rezone is comprised of tu�o vacant parcels located on the north side
of Alvazado Street,just east of Third Avenue. The azea is urban in character, with
commercial uses to the north and ���est; church and school uses to the south, and
multi-family units to the east. The two subject parcels aze part of a seven-pazce]
contiguous property owned by the District, the remainder of which was rezoned to
UC-1 with the adoption of the UCSP in 2007. Although rezoning on the subject
t��o properties was deferred when the UCSP was adopted, Figure 6.1 illustrates
that the parcels are still within the UCSP azea. Ultimately, the UCSP document
and Figure 61 (Page VI-3) will be revised in accordance with this action

The propenies directly to the east of the subject pazcels; alone Church Avenue
and Ah�azado Street, aze residential. They aze zoned R-3 and R-3P14, and aze
de��eloped with multi-family buildings. These multi-famil}� developments form a
transition and a buffer between the existing and anticipated urban uses alona
Third Avenue and the sinale-famil}� homes along Del D�az and farther east. �
Al�'ALPSIS
In order to ensure compliance �vith CV"?�4C 19.80, staff has anal}�zed the impact of
the subject propem�'s rezone.
Comoarison of UC-1 to R-3 Zone
The table provided belo���offers a comparison of the UC-1 Zone to the R-3 Zone:

As sho«m above, there are sienificant differences ben+een the ri�-o zonin2
dassifications. The reeulations for UG1 are urban in nature and appropriate for
the location — close to do���nto�an and close to a future nansit hub. The UC-1
zone allows for taller buildines. more compact open space and less pazkine (due
to the proximit}� to transit). The rezone of the subject site to UG1 is compatible
with the ezisting UC-1 zoning on the adjacent properties.
General Plan Consistencv:
The proposed zonine designation is in compliance «�ith the General Plan's A4ixed-
Use Residential (I�4iTR) desi�nation for the area.
Conformance ���ith Chapter 19.80 of the Chula Vista A4unicipal Code:
The proposed rezone ���ould result in the azea con��ertins to a residential intensiri-
that is the ne�t level of densin�. The proposed action is in compiiance ���ith this

This proposal would rezone the property to the next highest residential
density level, as detailed below:
1. The subject properties are currently zoned R-3. Pursuant to the
General Plan designation, a high-density R-3 zoning has a density
range of 18 to 27 dwelling units per acre.
2. The General Plan Update (GPU) designates the H Street Office
Focus Area as a Transit Focus Area (TFA) within the Urban Core,
with transit-focused mixed uses on the east and ��est sides of Third
Avenue. Mixed-use development is encouraged within walking
distance of a planned future transit station near Third Avenue and
H Street. According to GPU policy for the H Street Office Focus
Area, residential densities within the Miaed Use Transit Focus
Area designation aze intended to have a Focus Area wide gross
density of 60 dwelling units per acre (LUT 53.2). This densih� is
consistent with adjacent properties that have already been rezoned.
3. The General Plan Density for Urban Core Residential is 28-60
units per acre. The proposed change in zoning from R3 to UC-1 is
consistent with the above provision of the Cummings Initiative,
since the change N�ould be to the next highest residential densih�
category as identified and approved in General Plan Land Use
Designation and Zoning Table 5-4.
4. High density multi-famil}� residential already exists within the
Urban Core: (1) Congregational Towers (an affordable senior
facility), located at 288 F Street, is zoned RiH and has a density of
248 units per acre, and (2) ParkH�oods (market-rate
condominiums), located at 376 Center Street is zoned R3HP and
has a density of 31 units per acre.

subterranean and street-level pazking, for residents and their guests, consists of
333 spaces. The street-level also includes 3,000 square-feet of retail space, the
residential lobby, and a leasing office.
Approximately 57,810 squaze-feet of residential units aze planned for each of the
second through the fifth floors. The residences will be leased initially, but a
Tentative Map is being processed �vith the project, so the units may be sold
individuall}' in the future.
The following provides a detailed breakdown of the project by floor and use:

Development Exceptions
Due to the incorporation of Urban Amenities, such as Streetscape Improvements,
Vertical Mixed-Use in a Transit Focus Area and Enclosed Pazking, the applicant
has requested development exceptions from the ma�imum allowable lot coverage
of 80% to 88%, from the minimum streetwall frontage of 80% (80% of the
building is within 1-4 feet of the propert}� line, allowing for some articulation of
the building facade), and from stepback requirements of 15' (balconies aze
stepped back an uveruge of 15' and elevator shaft and corner units encroach).
Chapter VI.I of the UCSP specifies that development exceptions to the land use
and development regulations may be authorized if certain findings are made, as
identified below:
1. The proposed derelop�nent irill not adversely uffect the goals and
objectives of rhe Specifrc Plm� and Gene�-al Plan. - -
The goals and objectives of the Specific Plan and General Plan aze not
adversely affected by minor development exceptions in lot coverage,
building stepbachs and streetwall frontage. The deviations are being
mitigated with Urban Amenities encouraged in this transit focus area of
the Urban Core. The building will feature articulated walls, color variety,
different finish textures and stepped facades to maintain proper scale with
its surroundings. Exterior building planes are offset both vertically and
horizontally along the site perimeter. A stepback of the building at the
second story is broken only by the elevator shaft; comer elements and
balconies, which overlook the street and separate building mass.
Storefront windows and awnings help reduce building massing to a
human-scale and 11-foot «�ide sidewalks along Third Avenue and 8-foot
wide sidewalks along Alvazado Street and Church Avenue provide an
enhanced pedestrian esperience, adhering to the UCSP goals for
pedestrian orientation.
2. The proposed dei�elopmeni mill comply �+ith all other regulations of the
Specific Pla».
No other deviations from the UCSP regulations are being requested.
3. The proposed denelopment inill incor�orate orae or more of the Urban
.4me�1ilies Incentives in section F - Urban Amenities Reyuiremerils and
Incentives, of this chapter.
The proposed development �i�ill provide "Urban Amenities" such as
Str-eetscape b�aproren7ents, with new sidewalk, landscape and lighting in
accordance with the Third Avenue Streetscape Master Plan; Vertical
A�ixed-Use (Residential over Commercial) within 500 feet of a Transit

Compliauce�cith Urban Core Specific Plan Desigu Guidelines
In generaL the UCSP design guidelines for the Urban Core District focus on
accommodating mid- and hieh-rise commercial and residential de��elopment while
also developine an active street life. Specific widelines for Third Avenue
emphasize a villase character where residents and visitors ���ill ha��e access to an
arrati� of fine dinine, retail shops, outdoor cafes. coffee houses; specialn� stores;
boutiques and entertainment venues. Design Objectives for the Urban Core
District aim to create a comfortable scale of structures; maintain sunlight exposure
and minimize ��ind on the street; and distinguish betueen upper and lo«-er floors.
The Urban Core District Guidelines provide direction on site planning; buildine
azchitecture. storefront design; landscaping and parking. Special guidelines for
A�ixed-Use projects also inform de��elopment pattems in this part of the Urban
Core.
A summarv of the major design items related to this project follo�v:
Site Plannine and Architecture
The Urban Core District desien guidelines identify:
°Buildings should be sited in i+�m,s tha� provide a con fortable
and safe environment for pedestrians H�hile accommodating
vehicles. '
The project is oriented to Third Avenue. ��-ith sepazate pedestrian entries for
the residential and retail components. Vehicular access is secondary; H�ith a
eazage entrance on the eastern side of the-building.
"Locate parking structure entries on side streets or allevs to
minimize pedestriar�/vehicular conjlicts — drii�elrm-s should be
kept to the minimum number and width required for the project. "
There are no dri��ewavs onto Third A��enue �vithin the projecrs frontage. Tt�e
strucnued pazking as ���ell as trash storaee for the project aze full}� screened from
the public streets and are accessed from a reaz dm�e�vay to the east of the

Along Third Avenue, the streetti�all is built close to the property line, where large
plate glass windows provide transpazency to the active uses inside. The buildine
footprint allows for recesses in the streetwall at the entrances, as well as at the
small trellis-covered patio at the northern end of the building. The building steps
back 15' at the second story, �vhere smaller windows and private balconies
provide a clear division bet��een `residential' and `commercial' space.
"The pllysical design of building facades should be raried. "
Unique aNmings, artistic glass elements, stone and stucco texture and color help
further define and separate the different uses. While the most detailed portion of
the fa�ade is along the Third Avenue frontage, the project also strives to provide
attractive architectural elements and a variety of building materials along
Alvarado Street and Church Avenue, as well.
Gara¢e Orientation/Parking
Design guidance is provided in UCSP Chapter VI-Land Use and Development
Regulations, Section E.4(c) and (d) regarding "Minimizing Views into the
Pazkine Structure Interior and Pazking Floors Located Under or Within
Buildings" and "Parking Floor Located Under or Within Buildings ', as follows:
°Parking locuted under or tia�id�in buildirags shull subordinate
the garage er�b•ance to �lae pedesn�iar� enlrar�ce irt te�•»�s of
prominerice on the streel, location and design emphusis. "
Parking ���ill be accessible through a garage entrance off the project driveway at
the eastern side of the building. A decorative ���all design and landscapine
enhances the street elevations. The pazking will be accessed through key fobs or
access cards �vith automatic roll up gates or as determined by leasing
management. The location of the garage entrance allows the main pedestrian
entrance along Third Avenue to be uninterrupted by drivewa}�s or curb cuts.
"Any portion of a purking struc�ure ground Jloor initlt exposed
par-king area udjaceru to the public sb•eet shall minimi�e vieN�s

and the open courtyazd with a pool meet the open space requirements. Overall,
the subdivision design is in conformance with the City's Subdivision Manual,
Urban Core Specific Plan and other associated regulator}� documents.
Gradmg
The site consists of a rectangularly-shaped level lot that fronts on Third Avenue.
The applicant must obtain a Land Development Permit prior to beginning any
earthwork activities at the site and before issuance of building permits in
accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code Title 15A�. The applicant shall
also submit Grading Plans in conformance with the City`s Subdivision Manual
and the City's Development Storm Water Manual requirements.
Proiect Access
Vehicular access to the site is provided from a private drive��ay along the eastem
fa�ade that connects the southem terminus of Church Avenue to Ah�arado Street.
The driveway will have electronic gates that will allo�v access only to residents,
their guests; and the Fire Department. -
A modified tum-around will be provided on the subject property, just south of
Church A��enue and just north of the project gate, for cars that won't have access
through the site. The access through the private driveway is limited to address
potential traffic conflicts. Without the gates, traffic from the neighboring school
and church could use the private driveway to get to Alvarado from G Street. The
resulting lefr-turn movements and through-traffic could create a conflict during
school pick-up and drop-offs.
The apartment complex to the east of the project currently uses a portion of the
subject property to take access to the apartments' southern driveway and a
number of parking spaces. That access will be maintained through a private
easement.
Landscape is being provided along the private driveway. Street improvements
within the right-of-�vay include 8-foot sidewalks on Church Avenue and Alvarado
Street, and curb and gutter to match the adjacent public improvements. Along
Third Avenue 11-foot sidewalks and improvements in line with the Third Avenue
Streetscape Master Plan will be built.
Drainaae
The proposed drainage improvement �vill collect and filter storm water runoff
from the roof, courtyard and driveway. A portion of the stormwater will be stored
in a catch basin and used for irrigation purposes.
Additional Best Management Practices (BMPs) are included as part of the project
design. No adverse impacts to the City's drainage threshold standards wil] occur
as a result of the proposed project The proposed improvements are adequate to
handle the project storm �vater runoff generated from the site. A final drainaQe
study will be required prior to the issuance of any building permit.

Communit}� members had concems with the lack of detail in the fapade, potential traffic
on Third Avenue, noise impacts from construction and gentrification. The applicant's
response is provided to each of the issues raised - see Attachment 7. Some of the issues
were addressed in the public meeting, while other items were addressed in subsequent
plan revisions.
CONCLUSION
�
The proposed rezone, project design and tentative map are consistent with the goals and
policies of the General Plan, the UCSP, the Municipal Code and associated documents.
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Ordinance
and the Resolutions.
DECISION A'IAI�R CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of City Council and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property that is subject to this action.
Staff is not independently aware; nor has staff been informed by any City
Councilmember; of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker
conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL �MPACT
The cost of the entitlements is paid by the project applicant. There is no fiscal impact
projected in the current yeaz as a result of this project.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The entitlements do not require any on-going staff time.
Currently the property is owned by the S��eet��ater Union High School District and is
exempt from property ta�:; ho�vever, the District intends to sell the site to a private .
developer after entitlement. A fiscal impact analysis was not completed due to the size of
the project but if de��eloped, the property ���ould contribute approximately 12.6% of its
1% annual property tax assessment to the City of Chula Vista, ���hich would be available
to fund service needs.

C. FINDINGS FOR RESIDENTIAL ZONE AMENDD�ENTS
That the proposed rezone for the Project from R-3 to UC-1 H�ould result in the area
converting to a residential intensity that is the next level of density in conformance with Chapter
19.80 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code in accordance with the follo�ving:
19.80.070 Chula Vis/a Zoning Code Modification
A. Rezoning of properry designated for residential developnrent under the Ciry's zoning
code shall be per�»ntted only to d�e next highest resideiviul density cutegory iia any
hvo year pe�•iod uccording to dte folloi+�ing schedule:
A A ricultural Zone
RE Residentia(Eslates Zones
R-I Siia le Fanzil Residential
R-2 O�ae and Ti��o-Famil Residential Zone
R-3 A arhnerit Residentiul Zone
This proposal would rezone the property to the next highest residential density level, as
detailed below:
1. The subject properties aze currently zoned R-3. Pursuant to the General Plan
designation, a high density R-3 zoning has a density range of 18 to 27
d�velling units per acre.
2. The General Plan Update (GPU) designates the H Street Office Focus Area as
a Transit Focus Area (TFA) within the Urban Core, with transit-focused
mixed uses on the east and west sides of Third Avenue. Mixed-use
development is encouraged �vithin walking distance of a planned future transit
� station neaz Third Avenue and H Street. According to GPU policy for the H
Street Office Focus Area, residential densities within the Mised Use Transit
Focus Area designation are intended to have a Focus Area wide gross density
of 60 dwelling units per acre (LUT 53.2). This density is consistent �vith
adjacent properties that have already been rezoned.
3. The General Plan Density for Urban Core Residential is 28-60 units per acre.
The proposed change in zoning from R3 to UC 1 is consistent with the above
provision of the Cummings Initiative, since the change ���ould be to the next
highest residentia] density category as identified in General Plan Land Use
Designation and Zoning Table 5-4.
4. High density multi-family residential already exists within the Urban Core:
(1) Congregational To�vers (an affordable senior facility), located at 288 F
Street, is zoned R3H and has a density of 248 units per acre, and (2)
Parkwoods (market-rate condominiwns), located at 376 Center Street is zoned
R3HP and has a density of 31 units per acre.

RE: DRC 12-15 - The Colony
Dear Ms. Kluth:
Thank you arranging the follow-up meeting �vith Mr. Diamond, Mr. Laub, and 1 on
September 15, 2013 regarding the proposed The Colony development This letter shall
memorialize our understanding of the items where Mr. Diamond and the Sara E. Smith
Corporation, LLC ("SESCo") reached agreement The positions of agreement and suggested
implementing conditions of approval described below have been approved by the SESCo
Board of Directors and represent the official position of that Board.
1. Casa Corona Access. The parties agreed that the Casa Corona development wil] have
full legal recorded access to its existing southern driveway from both Church Avenue
and Alvarado Street over the proposed new private driveway. This condition is
necessary to preserve che access which the Casa Corona property has used continuously
since its construction in 1963 and to which SESCo claims that prescriptive rights exist
This agreement would be satisfactory to SESCo with conditions of approval on both the
tentative map and the Design Review Permit substantially similar to the follo�ving:
"Prior to obtaining building permits or filing a Final Map the applicant shall record
an easement to the satisfaction of the owner of the property at 435 Church Avenue
that grants permanent and irrevocable rights of access to that property and any
tenants or owners thereof, and that all tenants or owners shall be provided with
access cards or codes to control the gates allowing them access to and from Church
Avenue and Alvarado Street„
"Construcrion of the new private driveway between Church Avenue and Alvarado
Street shall indude connection from said ne�v private driveway to the existing
private driveway at 435 Church Avenue."
2. Private Drivewav Gates. The parties agreed that the gates on the private driveway
behveen Church Avenue and Alvarado Street will remain in the closed position at all
times unless both parties agree in writing that they may be open during any specified
period. This condition will satisfy SESCo that the proposed development will not cause
excessive through traffic on Church Avenue and that circulation impacts will be
consistent �vith the conditions identified in the EIR for the Urban Core Specific Plan.

Ms.Janice Kluth Page 2 of 3
October 17, 2013
This agreement would be satisfactory to SESCo with a condition of approval on both the
tentative map and the Design Review Permit substantially similar to the following:
"Prior to obtaining permits for the construction of the private driveway between
Church Avenue and Alvarado Street, or filing a Final Map, the applicant shall record
with the County Recorder a deed restriction, easement, or other document to the
satisfaction of the owner of the property at 435 Church Avenue that ensures that the
two access gates will remain in the closed position at all times unless otherwise
mutually agreed upon in writing by both parties"
3. Parkine. The parties agreed that SESCo may, at its sole discretion, apply to the City for
a parking permit district on Church Avenue that The Colony does not require any access
to any on-street parking located on Church Avenue, and that The Colony will not oppose
the formation of such a district. This condition will satisfy SESCo that it will not be
adversely affected by the loss of existing on-street and other parking that would be
eliminated by The Colony, and that the residents of The Colony would not use Church
Avenue for overflow parking. This agreement would be satisfactory to SESCo with a
condition of approval on both the tentative map and the Design Review Permit
substantially similar to the following:
"Prior to obtaining building permits or filing Final Map the applicant shall record an
agreement to the satisfaction of the owners of the property at 435 Church Avenue,
which is binding to its heirs and assignees, that it will not oppose the formation of a
parking district on Church Avenue and that it agrees that it will not be included in
the parking district or eligible for parking permits on Church Avenue."
SESCo is extremely concerned about the potentia] impact of overflow parking from The
Colony and request the assurance of the City that the parking district be formed. To that
end, we request a condition of approval of the Design Review Permit substantially
similar to the following:
"Prior to issuance of building permits for The Colony, the City shall approve the
formation of a restrictive parking district on Church Avenue that allows on-street
parking for the benefit only of residents of Church Avenue, except that residents and
occupants of The Colony will not be included as permitees of the parking district"
4. Landscapine. The parties agreed that the applicant will install ]andscaping in the right-
of-way of Church Avenue that will obscure the visual impact of the street wall created
by the proposed parking structure and parapet. This condition will satisfy SESCo that
the proposed 20' high wall on the property line will not adversely affect the aesthetics
along Church Avenue. This agreement would be satisfactory to SESCo with a condition
of approval on the Design Review Permit substantially similar to the following:
"Prior to obtaining occupancy permits the applicant will construct a 4' wide
]andscape strip on Church Avenue along the property frontage. Landscaping will
include street trees, shrubs, and ground cover of the same type and spacing as
currently shown on the landscape drawings adjacent to the private driveway
between Church Avenue and Alvarado Street, except that the trees will be of a type

that will have a broad canoDY to obscure the parking structum wall from visibility at �
the strect level (e.g.�-�no palm treesf." �
� j � �
5. Equipment Screenin� �The parties agreed that all mechanical equipment, including
equipmen[ not currenUy�indicated on the plans, will be fully screened from view and
wi➢ comply with City' noise regulations This condition will satisfy SESCo that !
mechanical equipment�for the residentia! uniGS and parldng garage will not create an i
�:
adverse rnsual affect of�noise impact to the adjacent Casa Corona property. This '
agreemen�'would be satisfadory to SESCo with conditions of approval on the Desigrt �
Review Permit substantlally similar to the Following: �
"Buildi�g plans shall.�indude visual screening of all rooftop and other mechanical ;
equipment, including HVAC,elevator and stair penthouses." �
i :�
"All mechanical equipment shall be in compliance with City noise regulations." E
� + •� i �
6. Construcdon Debris. � While_the parties did not discuss the issue of constrttction
debris, the SESCo Board is highly concerned that the dust and dirt that will result from
the construction of ThejColony�vi➢ severely affed the buildings of Casa Corona when it �
set[les. 1Ne request a conditlon that requires The Colony to provide a po�ver wash of
th"e Casa Corona buildings after rnnstruction has been completed in order to mitigate �
the resulting construction debris. �+

re: case number PCZ-12-03
Ms. Janice Kluth,
I am writing in regards to case number PCZ-12-03, the proposed mixed-use
project at 435 Third Ave. As a property owner of multi-family properties on Roose-
velt St& two properties on G Street between Third & Fourth Avenues, I am con-
cerned about this proposed project. I was unable to attend the first announced
meeting, but pian to attend the Sept. 25th meeting. I would like information dealing
with three concems relating to this project To wit:
Where will the vehicles associated with this residential & commercial de-
velopment be parked?The size of this project could create parking nightmares for
surrounding properties.Third Avenue was�ust narrowed to two lanes, supposedly,
for pedestrians & Roosevelt St. is all ready "No Parking" on the North side.
Where wili the traffic (conservatively upwards to 500 vehicle trips per day)
1i from this development exit the site? !f they exit onto Third Ave. it will be gridlock. If
they exit to the street directly South (a small two-lane residential stree�, logic dic-
' tates most traffic will proceed to H Street, either by using Third to the South or
North to G St, due West on Roosevelt Street, or perhaps East to Second Ave. then H
St. either East or West. Additionally factor in the proposed Urbana project traffic on
H Street& this is a disaster in the making. All options spell significant increases to
traffic in these areas, much more noise & loss of quality of life to my tenants & all
that live on these streets presently.These families are citizens of Chula Vista too.
� Thirdly, I would like all information relating to any/all fees paid by the
� Sweetwater School District related to this development. Also t would like all infor-
mation as to any fees, permits, inspection costs, developer fees, city time etc.
waived or forgiven by the City of Chula Vista.
1
I have always believed in property rights. The right to develop one's land as
- one chooses is very important. Also very important are fairness & openness during
the development process. I should not be forced to subsidize a "hidden" developer
: with waived or excused fees for the Sweetwater School District. If One Dollar was
excused, waived, or forgiven the same waivers & forgivness should be a��ailable to
al) land owners.
i
iThank you for your time & consideration, if you have any questions or con-
, cerns, please don't hesitate to call me, Steve, at 619 917-0506.
� Thank you, CiTY �F GHUi.A �1l�TA
