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. 2. Adjacent General Plan Designations. (Please see Exhibit A. ) North: C.V. Local Coastal Program - Industrial South: S.D. Local Coastal Program - Industrial East: C.V.

Local SDG&E Plant Coastal Program South: M-2 (Heavy Industry) Industrial laboratories; (City of San Diego) Salt pond East: C.V. Local Coastal Program SDG&E R/W; Industrial park West: MT-OS-CZ-UPD* (National City)** Salt ponds 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. A Page 3, Item 6 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. * Manufacturing Tidelands - Open Space - Coastal Zone - Unified Port District ** (Please see Exhibit C, for the City of San Diego Planning Department' s report on the subject matter. ) WPC 2481P t Ciis of Chula Vista, Cw1ii; rnia Dated 1 i 0'-,
