COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 4 1 7.
Meeting Date 4/3/84
ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing: PCA-84-2 - Consideration of proposed amendment
to Chapter 19.46 I - General Industrial Zone requiring City
Council approval of certain conditional uses
Ordinance .20 O' Amending Chapter 19.46 of the Municipal
Code relating to conditional uses and prohibited uses in the
I-zone SECOND READING AND ADOPTION
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning 0' (4/5ths Vote: Yes No x )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager
In December 1983 the City Council amended Chapter 19.54, Unclassified Uses
requiring Council approval for those uses having a citywide impact. The
Council also directed the staff to prepare an amendment to the Code to require
Council approval for those uses involving hazardous waste materials. This
report looks at the I-zone and suggests that certain uses be prohibited while
others would be subject to a conditional use review by the Council .
RECOMMENDATION: That Council concur with Planning Commission recommendation.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On February 22, 1984, the Planning
Commission by a vote of 5 to 0 with two absent took the following action:
1 . Adopted the Negative Declaration issued on IS-84-18 which is herewith
forwarded for Council adoption; and
2. Recommended that Council enact an ordinance amending Chapter 19.46
(I-General Industrial Zone) in accordance with Resolution PCA-84-2.
DISCUSSION:
The majority of the uses involving hazardous waste materials or uses involving
a hazardous potential (i .e. , chemical manufacturing) are classified as heavy
industrial uses and are permitted only in the I-General Industrial zone
subject to the approval of a conditional use permit by the Planning Commission.
It is recommended that these heavy industrial uses be prohibited from locating
in the City. First, the probability of them wishing to locate in the City of
Chula Vista is remote. This is supported by the fact none of these uses
presently exist in the City and not one application has been submitted since
the adoption of the present zoning ordinance in 1969. Second, these uses are
not in keeping with the character of the City of Chula Vista. This exclusion
should be reflected by listing them as uses expressly prohibited in the zone.

The list would include the manufacturing of asphalt, cement, charcoal ; aniline
dyes, ammonia, acids; coal , coke and tar products; turpentine, matches, paint;
rubber and soaps; grain milling; nitrating of cotton; foundaries and smelting;
stockyards and slaughterhouses; and storage of fireworks or explosives except
where incidential to a permitted use. (See attached Planning Commission
resolution including Exhibit "A" for a more complete listing. )
In further reviewing the permitted uses in the I zone, it was determined that
some of the uses had certain characteristics which could have a negative
impact on the community and should be subject to a use permit rather than
remain listed as allowable uses. These uses include: meat packing, large
scale bleaching-cleaning and dyeing establishments, brewing and distilling,
railroad yards and freight stations, and automobile salvage and wrecking
operations.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
