Ordinance 1654 - Amending the zoning map of the City of Chula Vista to rezone

R-3 to R-3-H-P
SUBMITTED BY� Director of Planning�
ITEM EXPLANATION
After several months of discussions with the City staff, the applicants, Richard Zogob
and C. P. Kiffe, are now proposing to construct a 3 story, 92 unit apartment building
on their 2.15 acre property south of Center Street and north of �4emorial Park (locator
attached to Res. PCZ-75-H). The proposed density requires a rezoning from R-3 (69 units
possible) to R-3-H (117 units possible). The applicants are requesting the Precise Plan
Modifying District in order to increase the percentage of compact parking spaces allowed
from 10% to 17.7% and to guarantee that only 92 units will be built rather than the
maximum number allowed in the R-3-H zone. A full discussion and analysis of the rezoning
proposal is contained in the enclosed staff report to the Planning Comnission dated
October 8, 1975.
EIR-75-3 for an earlier 84 unit project and restaurant was adopted by the Planning
Cortunission on August 13, 1975. Copies of the EIR were transmitted to the City Council
on October 9, 1975 for your information and future certification. When the project was
changed to 92 units, the Environmental Review Coirmiittee reviewed EIR-75-3 on September 25,
1975, found it to be satisfactory, and determined that a supplemental EIR would not be
necessary.
(This public hearing was continued from the meeting of November 4, 1975J

A. BACKGROUP�D.
1 . On September 10, 1975 the Planning Commission approved the architectural
thene for a to;o story, 69 unit apartrent .canplex on tfie 2.15 acre site located
immediately north of h�emorial Park (see locator) . Subsequently, the applicants
decided to pursue a higher density for the property and therefore are requesting
that the property be rezoned fro�n R-3 (1 unit/1350 sq. ft. - 69 units possiblej
to R-3-H-P (1 unit/800 sq. ft. ; high rise; precise plan required - 117 units
possible). The applicants are proposing 92 units or 42.8 DU/Acre.
2. The precise plan will be addressed in the fo1lo�Jing agenda item.
3. EIR-75-3 for an 84 unit apartment complex on the property ��as adopted by
the. Planning Co� � ission on August 13, 1975. The neo� precise plan for 92 units �•�as
revie��red by the Environmental Revieri Conunittee on Septenber 25, 1915, and it �ras
determined that the higher density proposal oosed no net•� environmental impacts not
already reported upon in EIR-75-3. Therefore, EIR-75-3, and the Planning Com�is-
. sion adoption thereof on August 13, 1975, remains effective and no further action
is necessary.
E. FECCl��•1EtIDATIOi�.
Adopi a motion recortmiending to the City Council approval of rezoning 2.15 acres of
property located in the 30Q block of Center Street, north of hlemorial Park, from

C. ANALYSIS.
1 . Surrounding zoning and land use: •
North - C-C - Shopping Center
South - R-3 - Memorial Park
East - C-B - Auto garage; vacant property
West - C-O-D - Vacant property
2. The site. �
� The site is approximately square in shape, measuring 300' in depth by 317'
in frontage along Center Street. The ground slopes moderately to the south,
• draining into the I:e�:orial Park drainage and retention basin (see Exhibit A) .
Adjacent to and east of the site proper is a 40'x174 ' strip, owned by tlie applicants,
ahich would be used for access to Landis Avenue.
3. City services available. �
' A review of the proposed R-3-H density by City staffs indicates that the
S� inerease in density irom 69 unils to 92 units could be accommodated by existing
City serviccs s�pplenented by public improvemr.nts routincly required of land
developinent plans.

RESOLUTIOtI OF THE CiTY PLAtJ;;ING C0�•FtISS10N REC0�1•fENDING TO ���
THE UTY COUtlCIL TRE CfIAI�GE OF Z01:[ FROFt R-3 TO R-3-H-P
FOR 2.15 ACRES LOCATED Oil TNE SOUTI{ SIDE OF CEi7TER STREET
� NIIEREAS, a duly verified application for change of zoning was filed with
the Planning Department by Richard G. Zogob and C. P. Kiffc on September 11 , 1975,
Application IVo. PCZ-75-H, and
WHEREAS, said application requested a change in zoning for 2.15 acres
located on the south side of Center Street in the 300 block, rrore particularly
described in said application, from R-3 to R-3-H-P, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Cosmission set the time and place for a hearing on
said application for change of zone, and notice of said hearing, together with
its purpose, �ras given by the publication in a nee�spaper of general circulation
in the City at least ten days prior to the date of said hearing, and
WHEREAS, a hearing Yras held at said time and place, namely 7:00 p.m. ,
October 8, 1915, Council Chamber, City Hall , 276 Fourth Avenue, before the
. Planning Cortunission, and said hearing was thereafter closed.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED AS FOI.LOWS:
1. From facts presented to -the Cortmission, the Comnission finds that
public necessity, convenience, general o-:elfare and good zoning practive require
the change of zone from R-3 to R-3-H-P for 2.75 acres loca.*.ed an the south side
of Center Street in the 300 block.
2. The findings of fact in support of said determination are as follotiis:
a. R-3-H-P zoning is consistent rrith sound land use planning principles
in that higher densities are encouraged in areas rrhere public services
already exist, by diversifying the housing supply in the dormtorrn area,
and by providing the opportunity to expand the residential basc in the
downtown area in support of the goal of rejuvenating the Central liusiness
, District.
b. Application of the "P" Preci�e Plan hbdifying District is necessary
since the site is within the Livic Cen[er Design Control District and
is directly adjacent to one of the City's major pu6lic parks as vrell as
the downtoo-rn business district. It is appropriate and necessary to give
the project careful review before the Planning Coranission and City
�S,J Council to ensure that the developmen[ plans are aes[hetically and
I
� functionally comp�tihlc with thc dov,ntown arca and long range plans for
' t. The zone change from P.-3 to R-3-li-P maintains the existing
cbnfornity to the General Plan designation of "Professional and Office
tortrnercial ," rrherein apartments are allowed; the rezoning suppor[s
� the General Plan policy to locate high rise apartment complexes in
the area surrounding the Third Avenue Qusiness District, and the City's
long range goal to diversify the housing base in the Lentral 6usiness
District.
3. The Planning Comnission reco�mends to the City Louncil that said
change of zone be granted.
4. That this resolution be transmitted, along �aith the application, to the
City Council, and a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the applicant.
