ITEM TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING: Coastal Development Permit for demolition of
single family dwelling unit on Gunpowder Point and removal of
debris from the immediate area
RESOLUTION -77Mr' Authorizing the issuance of a Coastal
Development Permit to the City of Chula Vista Redevelopment
Agency for the demolition of a single family dwelling unit on
Gunpowder Point and removal of debris from the immediate area
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director
ts REVIEWED BY: City Manage Vote: Yes No X )
The City of Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency, lessee of the Nature
Interpretive Center property on Gunpowder Point, would like to demolish an
existing single family dwelling unit on that property and remove debris from
the immediate area. This project is exempt from environmental review under
the CEQA guidelines pursuant to Section 15301 Class 1 (1 ) (1 ). At its May 5,
1987 meeting, the Redevelopment Agency directed staff to proceed with the
steps necessary to demolish the existing single family dwelling unit on
Gunpowder Point. The removal of debris immediately adjacent to the house is
also proposed. The graphic, attached as Exhibit A, shows the precise location -
of the single family dwelling unit proposed for demolition.
Based on past experiences with demolition and construction activities on and
adjacent to the south levee road, the City should plan to have a biologist or
other knowledgeable, responsible party on-site to supervise demolition and
removal of the single family dwelling unit on Gunpowder Point. This
supervision will ensure that the contractor limits all demolition activities
to the specified single family dwelling unit anT that environmentally
sensitive areas are protected. Staff will either go to the Agency with a
proposal to hire a biologist or use existing staff members to provide the
required supervision.

The timing for project implementation is important for improving the
aesthetics of the area prior to the public opening date of the Nature
Interpretive Center. Based on that goal , the following bidding/demolition

Meeting Date 5/26/87
Based on the following findings, the proposed demolition and debris removal
have been found to be consistent with the policies of the certified Chula
Vista Bayfront Local Coastal Program (LCP).
1 . The removal of the single family dwelling unit and debris from the Nature
Interpretive Center/Community-Neighborhood Park site is consistent with
the planned public usage of the site identified in the certified LCP.
2. Grading for the demolition and debris removal is not permitted between
November 1 to April 1 to adhere to the LCP requirement which was intended
to minimize the potential for siltation in wetlands.
3. The Statewide and Regional Interpretive Guidelines have been reviewed and
the proposed demolition and debris removal has been found to be in
conformance with the Public Access and Public Recreational policies of
Chapter 3 of the Public Resources Code.
4. The demolition of the single family residence and removal of debris is not
considered new development pursuant to Section 30212 (b) (2) of the Public
Resources Code. As a result the demolition and debris removal work is not
subject to the public access requirements for new development. The
demolition and debris removal will not, however, have adverse impacts on
lateral public access to the coastline.
FISCAL IMPACT: Following receipt of bids for the demolition and debris
removal , staff will return to the Agency with a request for an appropriation
to fund the work.
