DISCUSSION:
1 . Subject Property.
The subject 63 acres is located entirely within the city limits of the City of
San Diego. The area is bounded by the City of National City along the
westerly boundary and by the City of Chula Vista along the northerly and
easterly boundaries. The southerly boundary is the westerly extension of
Palomar Street. The territory is comprised of two parcels under two
ownerships (SDG&E, 8.14 acres and Western Salt Co. , 54.96 acres) . The land is
characterized by salt evaporation ponds, a vacant industrial structure, and
two SDG&E tanks.
The territory in question is designated "Open Space" on the City of San
Diego' s General Plan, and is zoned "M-2" Heavy Industrial , in accordance with
the said plan' s policies, and San Diego's Local Coastal Program.

ANALYSIS
The subject lands and waters are geographically, visually, and economically a
part of the Chula Vista Planning area' s "Tidelands Industrial Belt," and
constitute a southerly extension of the Bayfront Community' s industrial zone.
This relationship was recognized by the Chula Vista General Plan of 1965, and
by the Chula Vista Sphere-of-Influence Plan of 1985.
A significant part of the "dry land" under consideration is owned by SDG&E,
and should be planned in conjunction with SDG&E's adjacent industrial facility
in Chula Vista.

Meeting Date 2/18/86
The proposed General Plan Amendment to "Research and Limited Industrial" and
prezoning to "I-L-P" would be consistent with the existing use of land; San
Diego' s existing city plans; and, the land-use pattern sanctioned by Chula
Vista's certified Local Coastal Program.
The proposed General Planning and prezoning would enable the City of Chula
Vista to coordinate the planning of the subject territory with that of the
Bayfront Community, and to thereby better guide the orderly growth,
environmental protection, and economic development of its entire southerly
waterfront.
FISCAL IMPACT: The eventual annexation of the involved acreage would
increase Chula Vista' s revenues.
