ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION WHEREAS, the Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for Class 32 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15332(In-Fill Development Project) of the State CEQA Guidelines. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby find, determine and ordain as follows: Section 1 NOW;THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA MAKE THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS PURSUANT TO CHULA VISTA MLTN[C[PAL CODE SECTION 19.14.576: A. PRECISE PLAN FINDINGS The Citi� Council finds by clear and convincing evidence that: SUCH PLAN WILL NOT, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PARTICULAR CASE, BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY OR GENERAL WELFARE OF PERSONS RESIDING OR WORKING IN THE VICINITY,OR INJURIOUS TO PROPERTY OR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE V]CINITY Ordinance No. 3308 Paee 3 The Precise Plan bein2 requested is limited to allo�iine a deviation from existine development standazds for building height w�ithin the esisting hospital campus. The hospital campus has been in development for approximately 3� }�eazs and contains tti�o esisting towers of approximatel��68 feet in height. The pazking svucture beine proposed is an important component of the oneoine medical center expansion and w�ll ensure adequate pazl:ing for patienu and medical staff usina the medical center facilities. Therefore, its construction. alone writh additional support facilities. �vill contribute to the general well-being of the communiri�. The parkine structure will be located adjacent to or near e�isting hospital facilities well within the campus boundaries. The parkine structure is located approYimatel}� 167 feet from the nearest residential propem�located to the northeast ofthe project site. Building desien is consistent w�ith City Desien Guidelines. The parking structure ��ill not eenerate an}� new traffic. The proposed heieht increase is to allow development consistent«�th hospital uses. Existine to�vers on site are appro�imately 67 feet in heieht. The Project w�ill contribute to the w�ell-being and general welfare of the Chula V ista residents by allow�ng the existine hospital facility to operate more efficientiv to meet the needs of the Chua Vista and South Bav residents. THAT SUCH PLAN SATISFIES THE PRINCIPLE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE P MODIFYING DISTRICT AS SET FORTH IN CVMC 19.56.041 The Precise Plan (P) Modifi�ino District was attached to the C-O zoning at the time the subject property H�as rezoned from R-1-H to C-O-P in Januarv, 1990. The site has been developed as a hospital campus since approximately 1970. The hospital site had received prior approval for t�-o hospital towers H�ith a heieht of approtimately 68 feet; prior to the effective date of this rezone. Given the esisting hospital use; the P modifier �vas added to this ne�v zoning designation in anticipation of the need to pro��ide future flesibiliri in the implementation of the underl}�ine development standards of the C-O zone, especially the abilin� to provide for structures which exceeded the underlying 45 foot height limit. The Precise Plan will allo�;�for flexibiliri�in buildine height that��ill enable the site to be developed consistent with the needs of a state of the art medical facilitv. THAT ANY E�CEPTIONS GRANTED WHICH DEVIATE FROM THE UNDERLYII�'G , ZOI�TII�'G REQUIREMEI�'TS SHALL BE V�'ARRANTED ONLY}�'I�I�i NECESSARY TO MEET THE PURPOSE AND APPLICATION OF THE P PRECISE PL.�N MODIFYII�'G DISTRICT Esceptions to the underl��ine zonine requirements are �varranted due to the fact that the site contains an existing hospital campus. Such use is unique ��ithin the C-O zone in that hospitals usually contain buildings/towers that are over 4� feet in height. The inabiliri for future de��elopment to elceed the current hei�ht limit of 4� feet would preclude the abilin� to provide necessan� e�pansions that meet the needs of the surroundine community. Ordinance No. 3308 Pa�e 4 THAT APPROVAL OF THIS PLAN WILL CONFORM TO THE GENERAL PLAN AND THE ADOPTED POLICES OF THE CITY Approval of a Precise Plan is consistent with the Public/Quasi-Public designation of the General Plan for the property and t6e General Plan Objective PFS 19 to provide art and culture programs, childcaze facilities and health and human services that enhance the quality of life in the City of Chula Vista. A height exceeding the current height restriction of 45 feet under the C-O (Administrative and Professional Office) zone, has been established by the two existing hospital towers on the campus and will allow the site to be developed consistent with the needs ofthe state of the art medical facility. B. ADOPTION OF PRECISE PLAN In light of the findings above, the Precise Plan is adopted to increase the existing building height limit of 45 feet to 120 feet as set forth and diagrammatically represented in Exhibit"A"and described in Exhibit"B",approved and adopted in the form presented to the City Council and on file in the office of the City Clerk.
