Page 2
July 24, 2013
1. That the proposed use at this location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or
facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the
community.
This proposal will continue to provide a private training facility for mentally and physically
disabled preschoolers and adults and provide additional classroom and multi - purpose area for
the facility's operation. The provision of these services in proximity to nearby residents
contributes to the general well -being of the neighborhood and community.
2. That such use 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 vicinity.
The proposed private training facility and pre- school daycare will not result in any negative
impacts to health, safety or general welfare. These uses currently take place on the site.
There will be no change to the number of students /children. The use will be subject to
meeting all health, safety and general welfare standards and regulations set forth by the City
of Chula Vista. The private training facility and pre- school daycare uses are consistent with
the types of quasi public uses that are allowed within the Single - Family RI Zone.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the
code for such use.
The proposed use is located in a Single - Family Residential RI Zone, which allows the
operation of private training and pre - school daycare uses, subject to issuance of a
Conditional Use Permit. The facility will comply with required development and operating
regulations, including setback standards and parking requirements contained in the Chula
Vista Municipal Code ( "Municipal Code ").
4. That the granting of the Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City, or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The project site is designated and zoned for Single - Family Residential uses in the 2005
General Plan. The operation of a private training and pre- school daycare use at this location
is consistent with the stated policies of the General Plan. This Conditional Use Permit is in
compliance with the General Plan policy of providing adequate public and semi - public uses
within all areas of the city. Therefore, the use, as proposed, is consistent with the General
Plan and the Single- Family Residential Zone.
