SECTION 1.
Conditional Use Permit Findings. Pursuant to the requirements of Section of
the 19.14.080 the City Council makes the following findings required for the
granting of a conditional use permit as follows:
The proposed use is desirable at the proposed location in that it will
provide employment training and assistance to the Chula Vista and
Resolution No. 17489
Page 2
SECTION 2.
Southbay region at a location that is easily accessible to the general
public and which provides adequate parking. Therefore, the proposed
use at the 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.
The proposed use of the site as an employment training and assistance
center will not pose any danger to the general public health, safety and
welfare in that no toxic substances will be used on the site, there is
adequate ingress and egress and the amount of traffic is within the
scope of the analysis done as part if the environmental assessments for
Rancho del Rey. Therefore, 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.
Compliance with all applicable conditions, codes and regulations is
required prior to issuance of relative permits, including but not limited
to, design review and building permits. Therefore, the proposed use will
comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the code for
such use.
The proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use
Designation (Research & Limited Industrial) of the City of Chula Vista in
that the Rancho del Rey Development Regulations allow subject use
upon issuance of a conditional use permit. Therefore, the granting of
this conditional use permit will not adversely affect the general plan of
the City or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The City Council hereby grants the conditional use permit PCC-94-38 and
thereby grants permission to use the subject property as an employment service
and training center, including providing job services (such as job listings, job
search workshops, and labor market information services); unemployment and
disability insurance services (including process and payment of claims to
unemployed or disabled individuals); job training; and tax collection and other
miscellaneous administrative services, subject to the following conditions:
Applicant shall comply with and implement all requirements of the Chula
Vista Municipal Code and applicable Fire Department and Building
Department requirements, as appropriate.
Prior to occupancy, applicant shall arrange a security survey with the
Chula Vista Police Department, Crime Prevention Unit, and implement
any suggestions resulting from said survey. Applicant shall submit proof
of the implementation of said survey to the Director of Planning prior to
occupancy, where applicable.

This permit shall be subject to any and all new, modified or deleted
conditions imposed after approval of this permit to advance a legitimate
governmental interest related to health, safety or welfare which the City
shall impose after advance written notice to the Permittee and after the
City has given to the Permittee the right to be heard with regard thereto.
However, the City, in exercising this reserved right/condition, may not
impose a substantial expense or deprive Permittee of a substantial
revenue source which the Permittee can not, in the normal operation of
the use permitted, be expected to economically recover.
This conditional use permit shall become void and ineffective if the same
is not utilized within one year from the date of this resolution in
accordance with Section 19.14.260 of the Municipal Code. Failure to
comply with any condition of approval shall cause this permit to be
reviewed by the City for additional conditions or revocation.
SECTION 3. CEQA Evaluation.
This Project, conditionally permitting the Property located at 1045 Tierra del
Rey to be used as a public-quasi public facility (employment assistance), is part
of a larger project for which Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report,
to wit FEIR 87-1, has been prepared and certified by this Council, and is
adjacent to the Rancho del Rey "power center" project for which a Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, to wit: FSEIR 92-02, was prepared
and certified by this Council.
FEIR 87-1 consited of Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR 87-1)
SCH #87070102, dated October 19, 1987 which contained (1) Draft
EIR-87-1; (2) Comments on the Draft and Responses; (3) one addenda;
(4) Appendices (A through J) to the Environmental Impact Reports.
FSEIR 92-02 consisted of "FEIR 92-02", dated October 5, 1992, SCH
#92051032, which contained (1) Final EIR 92-02; (2) Comments and

Resolution No. 17489
Page 4
The City Council accepts and approves the Second Addendum to FEIR-87-1
Rancho del Rey SPA I - Employment Development Department; and finds in
accordance to the Second Addendure to FEIR-87-1 (IS-94-23) that the traffic
impacts associated with the proposed project would be lower than anticipated
in the previous FEIR (460 new ADT vs. 600 in the previous analysis) and that
all other public services would be effected the same as the previous analysis
and no further changes would be required in conclusions, findings, and
mitigation measures. The project site was previously graded and there will be
no further impacts to natural resources. The City Council concurs in the
conclusion expressed in the Second Addendure that the Project will not create
any new environmental impacts that have not been fully and adequately
analyzed in FEIR-87-01 and the First and Second Addendure.
A. Re-Adoption of Findinqs.
The Council does hereby approve and incorporate as if set forth full, and
make each and every one of the CEQA Findings set forth in Council
Resolution Nos. 13393, adopted December 15, 1987 (87-1 adopting
CEQA findings), 13389, adopted December 15, 1987 (87-1 adopting
Statement of Overriding Considerations); and 16900 (92-02) adopted
November 24, 1992.
B. Certain Mitiaation Measures Feasible and Re-Adopted.
As more fully identified and set forth FEIR-87-1 and FSEIR-92-2, and the
Second Addendure, Council readopts the findings that, pursuant to
Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines Section
15091, that the mitigation measures described in FEIR-87-1 or the
resolution approving same (Resolution No. 13393), are feasible and will
become binding upon the appropriate entity such as the Applicant, the
City, or other special districts which has to implement these specific
mitigation measures.
C. Feasibility of Alternatives.
The Council has previously concluded that alternatives to the project
evaluated under FEIR-87-1 were found not to be feasible, and the
approval of this Project and the adoption of the Second Addendure does
not change that conclusion, herein incorporated by reference.
D. Adoption of Mitiqation Monitorina Proqram.
As required by the Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, City
Council hereby determines that the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program ("Program") adopted in and set forth in the resolution adopting
FEIR-87-1, and incorporated herein by reference as set forth in full, is
fully adequate for this Project. The City Council finds that the Program
' II IF '
Resolution No. 17489
Page 5
is designed to ensure that the Project implementation and operation, the
Applicants and other responsible parties implement the project
components and comply with the feasible mitigation measures identified
in the Findings and in the Program.
Statement of OverridinQ Considerations.
The City Council, when it adopted I=EIR-87-1, originally concluded that
after the adoption of all feasible mitigation measures, certain significant
environmental affects caused by the project or cumulatively will remain.
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista, pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15093, adopted a Statement of Overriding
Considerations by Resolution 13389 identifying the specific economic,
social, and other considerations that render the unavoidable significant
adverse environmental effects still significant but acceptable. The
approval of this Project does not change the conclusions of the Council
in the findings made in such Statement of Overriding Considerations.
Notice of Determination.
City Council directs the Environmental Review Coordinator to post a
Notice of Determination and files the same with the County Clerk.
