ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing: Consideration of construction of two
industrial warehouse buildings proposed at the Northeast
corner of Broadway and C Street
Resolution /7602, Authorizing the issuance of a Coastal
Development Permit for Hazard Industrial Buildings
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director„
REVIEWED BY: City Manager )4. 110) (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
The applicant has proposed the construction of two industrial buildings on a
site that is located within the boundary of the Chula Vista local coastal
zone, inland parcel subarea. The project has undergone environmental review,
resulting in a negative declaration. And, the Design Review Committee has
approved the project design subject to conditions. Since local environmental
and design approval have been completed, this development is presented to the
Council for public hearing and consideration for issuance of a Coastal
Devel opment Permit.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council 1 ) conduct a public hearing and
consider public testimony, and 2) adopt a resolution to issue a Coastal
Development Permit subject to conditions listed on Exhibit A of the attached
resol ution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
The project site involves approximately 53,000 square feet of property (two
separate parcels) located within an existing industrial subdivision at the
Northeast section of Broadway and C Street. The property is currently vacant
and includes an engineered slope along the Northwest corner which extends
downward to the Sweetwater River flow-line.
The applicant proposes to construct two non specific industrial buildings.
Building A will consist of 7520 square feet of floor area and Building B will
entail 11 ,900 square feet. Both are single story and do not exceed 24 feet.
Future land uses occupying the structures will be regulated by the Bayfront
Specific Plan section 19.84.12 ( Industrial : General Permitted Uses). On-site
parking for 29 vehicles has been provided which is consistent with the 1
sp./800 sq. ft. or 1 sp./1000 sq. ft. ratio listed in the coastal guidelines.

Due to the proximity of Broadway and 1-54, the design of the project,
particularly Building A, is of great importance. The design entails painted
slump block construction with metal shed roofing and cedar accent at the
entrances. The Design Review Committee approved the site plan and elevations
subject to conditions.
Based on the following findings, the proposed Hazard industrial buildings,
subject to conditions listed in Exhibit A of the attached resolution, is found
to be consistent with the policies of the Certified Chula Vista Bayfront Local
Coastal Program:
1 . The Certified Chula Vista LCP Land Use Plan under Subarea 6
designates the inland parcel subarea as not coastal-related;
therefore, no adverse impact on shoreline access, water related
recreational or visitor serving commercial , or marine resources are
anticipated to occur due to the proposed development.
2. The site is not located adjacent to or near the coastline, therefore,
will not obstruct any coastal views or vistas nor will the site
development reduce the amount of parkland committed to the coastal
area.
3. The project will not effect traffic circulation within the Bayfront
interior or along the shoreline since the inland parcel subarea is
physically removed from these coastal related areas.
4. Since the development entails a down slope adjacent to the Sweetwater
River, as a requirement of the project's approval all drainage must
be directed toward the City storm drain system to avoid run-off into
the river.
Also, the northern slope will be planted with native, drought
tolerant vegetation with minimal disturbance to the existing slope
which will provide erosion control , curtail the introduction of
exotic wildlife to the native riparian vegetation, and will avoid
potential siltation that could result from mass grading with
machinery.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
