AN 'ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING
CHAPTER 19. 04 ; 19. 54 AND 19. 58 OF THE CHULA VISTA

On September 4 , 1979 , by a vote of four to one (Councilman
. Scott voting "no" ) , the City Council placed the ordinance
on its second reading and adoption.
Interim Ordinance No. 1869 established senior citizens '
housing developments as unclassified uses , thus allowing
them in several zoning districts under the conditional use
permit procedure. Pursuant to the processing of a conditional
use permit for such developments , the Planning Commission may
make exceptions to the density , offstreet parking, minimum
unit size, open space and other requirements as may be
appropriate, however, all such use permits will be forwarded to the
•City.cCouncil for action as well.
This ordinance (No. 1878) is designed to implement this
General Plan policy b.y. defining "senior housing developments"
and by creating permanent zonal regulations which would
govern their location and establishment. This amendment
constitutes a refinement and restatement of interim
ordinance No. 1869.
Copies of the ordinance are available in the office of the
City Clerk, City Hall , 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista.

MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SENIOR HOUSING DEVEIAPMENT
The City Council o£ the City of Chula Vista finds as
follows:
That in accordance with the attached Negative Declaration,
IS-79-66 and the findings therein, the proposed amendment to the
Chula Vista Municipal Code relating to senior housing development
will not have a signi£icant impact upon the environment, and the
City Council hereby certifies that the Negative Declaration was
prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality
Act of 1970 , as amended.
The City Council o£ the City of Chula Vista does
hereby ordain as follows :
SECTION I : That Chapter 19 . 04 of the Chula Vista .
Municipal Code is hereby amended by adding thereto a new section
19. 04 .201 to read as follows :
Sec. 19 . 04.201 Senior housing development.
"Senior Housing Development" means a residential
project which may exceed the maximum density permitted
for families in the zones in which it is located, and
which is established and maintained for the exclusive
use o£ low or moderate income senior residents .
SECTION II : That Section 19 . 54 . 020 of Chapter 19 .54 of
the Chula Vista Municipal Code is hereby amended by adding thereto
a new subsection P to read as follows :
Sec. 19. 54 . 020 Designated-Limitations and
standards.
P . Senior housing developments : See Section 19 . 58 .390 .
SECTZON III : That Chapter 19 .58 of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code is hereby amended by adding thereto a new section
19 . 58 .390 to read as £ollows :
Sec. 19 . 58. 390 Senior housing developmen.

for seniors , as defined in Section 19 . 04 .201, may be
allowed in any zone except the R-1, R-2 , C-V, C-T and
industrial zones. Because the residents of such
development have dwelling characteristics which differ
from those of families and younger persons, it is not
appropriate to apply all of the normal zoning standards
thereto.. Accordingly, pursuant to the processing of
a conditional use permit for such developments , as
required by Section 19 .54 . 020 P, the Planning
Commission and City Council may make exceptions to
the density, offstreet parking , minimum unit size,
open space, and such other requirements as may be
,
appropriate. The Planning Commission and City Council
may also adjust required setbacks, building height,
and yard areas as appropriate to provide an adequate
living environment both within the development and on
nearby properties. Any exceptions and adjustments
shall be subject to the condition that the development
will be available for occupancy by seniors only.
SECTION IV: This ordinance shall take effect and be
in full force and effect on the thirty-first day fro� and after
