in Policy LUT 271.
LUT 43.1.4 Provide for the development of one Neighborhood Park within or near the

severed by the construction of Interstate 5, is located on the west side of Interstate 5, between
Palomar Street and Main Street, and is flanked by San Diego Bay on the west
Existing Conditions
The West Fairfield District has a mix of light industrial and office uses interspersed with older,
single - family homes and vacant lots. West Fairfield is somewhat isolated from the rest of Chula
Vista, due to Interstate 5 forming its eastern edge. Pedestrian routes across the freeway are
limited and heavily traveled by cars and trucks Freeway on- and off -ramps at Palomar Street
provide convenient freeway access into the District for vehicles
Vision for District
The West Fairfield District has been redeveloped through a
well - planned and coordinated master plan There are few land
use conflicts, and land uses have been expanded by
reclaiming an old San Diego settlement pond to the southwest.
The West Fairfield District has good freeway access at Palomar
and Main Streets, and it is an employment center, with regional
retail and other employment uses. An educational facility is
also located in the West Fairfield District
