RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ADOPTING NEGATIVE DECLARATION
IS-02-18, AND AMENDING THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT
OF THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN TO RECLASSIFY MAIN
STREET, BETWEEN INTERSTATE 805 AND HERITAGE
ROAD, FROM A SIX-LANE MAJOR STREET TO A SIX-LANE
PRIME ARTERIAL
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista's adopted General Plan Circulation Element
("Circulation Element") provides a roadway classification for a Six-Lane Major Street and 6-
Lane Primer Arterial; and
WHEREAS, the Circulation Element presently designates Main Street, between Interstate
805 and Heritage Road, as a Six-Lane Major Street; and
WHEREAS, prior to or at General Plan build out, anticipated traffic counts on Main
Street, between Interstate 805 and Heritage Road, will exceed the maximum capacity for a 6-
Lane Major Street, as defined in the Circulation Element; and
WHEREAS, reclassifying the subject segment of Main Street from a Six-Lane Major
Street to a Six-Lane Prime Arterial would grant the City Engineer the authority to prohibit future
on-street parking, limit and specify median access and signal locations, and restrict the location
and spacing of full access signalized intersections, thereby maintaining the current characteristics
of the existing roadway; and
WHEREAS, reclassifying the subject segment of Main Street from a Six-Lane Major
Street to a Six-Lane Prime Arterial will provide additional roadway capacity necessary to
achieve build out of the City's General Plan land uses; and
WHEREAS, the proposed reclassification is fully consistent and correlated with the Land
Use Element, pursuant to State Government Code §65302(b); and
WHEREAS, on January 14, 2002, the Resource Conservation Commission accepted the
draft Negative Declaration, IS-02-18, by a vote of 4-0-0-2; and
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 13, 2002,
and recommended by Resolution GPA-02-04 that the City Council adopt an amendment to the
Circulation Element of the General Plan to reclassify that portion of Main Street, between 1-805
and Heritage Road, from a Six-Lane Major Street to a Six-Lane Prime Arterial, by a vote of 7-0;
and
WHEREAS, that in accordance with the requirements of CEQA, the Environmental
Review Coordinator determined that the Project required the preparation of an Initial Study.
Such study was prepared by the City of Chula Vista, and based on such study, a Negative
Declaration was prepared and circulated for public review; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby adopt Negative Declaration IS-02-18 and amend the Circulation Element of
the City's General Plan to reclassify Main Street, between Interstate 805 and Heritage Road,
