WHEREAS, from the facts presented to the City Council, the Council has further
determined that the project is consistent with and implements the Otay Valley Road
Redevelopment Plan in that no portions of that Plan are being modified and the modification
does not conflict with said Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Chula Vista City Council does
hereby find and determine as follows:
SECTION I.
Based on the recommendation of the Environmental Review Coordinator,
the City Council hereby acknowledges that subject project is a Class 8
Categorical Exemption from environmental review as an "action by a
regulatory agency for protection of the environment" pursuant to
Section 15308 of the California Environmental Quality Act.
SECTION II.
Pursuant to the requirements for the imposition of a Precise Plan
Modifying District ("P Modifier") under the Chula Vista Municipal Code
19.56, auto dismantlers and auctions located along Energy Way present
unique circumstances whereby usual and effective paving standards are
inappropriate, and in order to achieve a fair and beneficial balance
between time limited uses and future area redevelopment, a modification
to the existing Precise Plan Guidelines for Otay Industrial Park is
justified.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby amend the Precise Plan Guidelines for Otay Industrial Park in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit 1 (PCM-94-23).
