RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL APPROVE THE REQUEST TO AMEND THE
ZONING MAP ESTABLISHED BY CHULA VISTA
MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 19.18.010 TO REZONE TWO
PARCELS, TOTALING 0.38 ACRES, LOCATED ON THE
NORTH SIDE OF ALVARADO STREET FROM A MULTI-
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE (R -3) TO A MIXED USE
ZONE (UC -1)
WHEREAS, the subject matter of this Ordinance is the Zoning Map established
by Chapter 19.18.010 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, and the area of the Zoning
Map to be used as the project area is identified in Exhibit "A" (Project), attached hereto;
and
WHEREAS, the two parcels are part of a larger group of a seven - parcel property
owned by the Sweetwater Union High School District (District). Five of the parcels were
rezoned to UC -1 in 2007; and
WHEREAS, the Project Site, which is the subject matter of this Resolution, and is
depicted in Exhibit "A," attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference,
consists of two (2) parcels located on Alvarado Street (APNs 568 - 511 -18 and 19); and
WHEREAS, the proposed rezone of the two residentially zoned parcels to UC -1
will make them consistent with the UC -1 zone already existing on the contiguous parcels;
and
WHEREAS, the Development Services Department recommends approval of an
amendment to the adopted zoning map established by Section 19.18.010 of the Chula
Vista Municipal Code in order to rezone the Project Site from R -3 to UC -1; and
WHEREAS, The Development Services Director has completed a Secondary
Study (IS -12 -002), in order to determine project consistency with the Urban Core
Specific Plan EIR (PEIR- 06 -01). 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. In 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- 05 -01) as part of the 2005 General Plan Update. The proposal is
consistent with the analysis and conclusions of EIR- 05 -01. No additional impacts or
mitigation measures beyond those identified in EIR -05 -01 will result from this rezone
request. The proposed rezone is, therefore, also covered under EIR- 05 -01. Therefore, no
negative declaration, subsequent environmental impact report, supplement to
environmental impact report, or addendum to environmental impact report has been
prepared; and
