WHEREAS; the hearing was held at the time and place as advertised, namelq 6:00 p.m.
on April 14; 201� in the Council Chambers located at 276 Fourth Avenue, and said heari�g was
thereafier dosed.
NOW; THEREFORE; BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby finds and
determines as follows:
Thui lhe proposed chunge in use and/or re�oniiag wil/ no1 udnersely affecl allainmenl of
the ciry's goal�o proi�ide a i�ariery of housirag oplions N�iihin 117e Ciry.
The City's General Plan land use designation for the sites subject to this acrion include:
mixed use residential, mixed use commercial, commercial visitor, urban core —
residential; and transit focus area. The rezoning would result in the existing zoning to be
brought into conformance with the General Plan.
The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the City's housing goals since the rezoning
of the properties will alloN� on most parcels For multi-family development and help
achie��e the City's goal of achieving a variety of housing types. This ti�ill help achieve the
goal of General Plan Policy LUT 1.9, ��hich is to provide opportunities for development
of housing that respond to diverse community needs in terms of density, size, ]ocation
and cost. Multifamily allows for either rental or condominium units to be developed on
the site. This would help achieve the City's General Plan policy of achieving a variety of
housing options.
Policy LUT 1.19 requires that ]and use intensities be evaluated in conjunction with any
zone change and/or General Plan Amendment to permit density or modify intensity.
Factors to be considered include, but are not limited to, the maximum intensity allowed
far the applicable land use designation in the General Plan, traffc circulation pattems,
environmental constraints, and compatibility with suttounding land uses.
The proposed change qf use a�2d/or reroning is suppa7ed by sow�d plan�arng pri��cip(es,
und higher der7sin�, uffor-duble replacement housr»g irithin �he ciry will remain in
suffrcre��! suppl��.
The General Plan designation for most of the sites calls for multi-family de��elopment at a
eross density range up to 28-60 d«�ellina units per gross acre, a higher density than is
typical for a trailer park type development. Thus, the proposed zoning is consistent with
the City's desire for higher densit}� development in the area.
Since the proposed zonino will allow for multi-family housing consistent with the urban
core; mixed uses residential; and transit focus area higher residential density designations
of the General Plan, it will provide for more affordable housing units than other types of
residential development. Future development of the sites will provide housing
opportunities to many in the form of affordable rental or ownership units.

Paee No. 3
Tha� the proposed change of use/and re_oning tiril/ no1 result in serere or undue hardshrp
on an��afj-ec�ed mobilehome resident.
State la���s eo��em the dosure procedure for mobilehome and trailer pazks upon
conversion. closure, or cessation of use and allows local implementine agencies to either

1989_ the Cin� of Chula \'ista adopted Chula Vista �4unicipal Code (CVMC) Chapter
9.40 to implement state la�v and pro��ide supplemental requirements, specificallv
outlinino the items required in a Relocation Plan and definine "reasonable costs of
relocatiod' through the identification of financial benefits upon displacement.
Althoueh the zonin� regulations that are being proposed to implement the General Plan
���ill change the current zones. this ���ill not require trailer parks to dose. These trailer
parks have operated for se�-eral decades under a commerciai or hieher residential zone
desisnation. Those desienations si��e o��ners the opportunity to rede��elop their sites for
another use at am� time. which �aill not change under the proposed rezonines. Anv
changes to the use of the land such as ne�r de��elopment must be requested�b�� park
oNners. and eo through an e�tensi�e public review and public hearing process, per the
requirements of Chapter 9.40 to ensure there is not se��ere or undue hardship on affected
residents at the time of an actual closine.

consistent i+dth the requirements of Ci%!I�C Section 9.=10 und applicable state regulutions.
and to the salisfuction of Deve]opment Sen-ices Direclor.
In accordance N�ith the above, any proposed closure of a trailer park would need to
compl}� ���ith both local and state laws pertaining to park closures. The process under
Chapter 9.�0 would adequateh address the propem� o���ner or project proponent's
compliance �vith applicable la���s.
That prior ro the commenceme�7t of any c/osure of the mobrlehome der•elopmenl. that the
properry otivner(s) tirill prepare and ensure conformm�ce oj u detailed closure und
