Vista has fewer jobs than housing units. Adding more jobs, shopping, and
restaurants to our City can help to reduce trips outside the City and increase
local revenues. A full range of commercial services, from regional shopping
centers to specialty stores, is convenient for residents, can attract non-
residents to shop here, and keeps sales tax revenues in the City, where it
will most benefit residents- Residential areas with nearby stores, services,
and restaurants allow residents to walk or bike for -their daily shopping
needs, which is a healthier alternative to driving.
Residential; commercial; industrial; educational; recreational; and civic
facilities should provide a balance and combination of uses that both
complement the existing community and accommodate the future needs
and desires of the community. Ideally, this balance would meet the needs of
Chula Vista's residents 2L— aiNfl--des and contribute towards

Planning policies that promote Lhea:zhy livable communities and smart growth can be tools for
achieving environmental justice. The primary purpose of planning, and the source of government
authority to engage in planning, is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. Traditionally,
land use planning has attempted to minimize health and safety risks by segregating land uses.
However, rigid separation of land uses has resulted in disconnected islands of activity and
contributed to sprawl, counter to sustainable development goals- Mixed use development is a more
sustainable approach to land use planning a-d a means zc address he.—thE c=siJ_-ra-ions.

plan policies that support 11in-e value of a heal-hv communitv mixed use development,
higher land use densities; reduced parking requirements; and increased transit service.
TOD policies should facilitate a pedestrian-oriented environment with features such as
traffic calming strategies and architectural and streetscape design that orients buildings
to sidewalks, plazas, parks, and other public spaces, rather than to parking.
The promotion of environmental justice on a local level may be accomplished through a
broad range of actions taken on various fronts, Including through land use planning and
policies at the general plan level The issues of land use incompatibility-, access to
nutritious and healtNer food optioas, equitable distribution of public facilities and
services,- overconcentration of industrial uses; and transit-oriented development can be
addressed in a general plan. Through various goals, objectives, policies, and
implementation measures established through the adoption of this General Plan, Chula

justice.
