BACKGROUND l. On February 6, 1979 the City Council granted an appeal for a variance filed by Firstwest Devco reducinc� the front and exterior sideyard setbacks for a 15,822 sq. ft. parcel located at the southwest corner of Del Mar Avenue and "I" Street in the R-3 zone based on the condition that a maximum of 8 units be allowed on the property. This condition restricted the density of the project from that allowed by the R-3 zone (32 r�nits per acre) to the approximate density of the R-3-h1 zone (21 units per acre) . The City Council also directed that the other properties on the south side of "I" Street between Third and Del Mar Avenues, presently zoned R-3 be considered for rezoning to the same density. In accordance with Council directive, the rezoning of those properties an the south side of "I"' Street between Del Mar and Third Avenue from R-3 to R-3-M (see Exhibit "A") is proposed. 2. On March 28, 1979 the Planning Commission adopted the Negative Declaration on IS-79-47 which is herewith forwarded to City Council . B. DISCUSSION 1.

'6;6a Meeting of 4/24/79 Supplemental page No. 2 2. Zoning history. The properties on both sides of "I" Street between Second and Third Avenues were zoned R-3 �n 1949 as part of the City of Chula V�sta's first comprehensive zoning plan. In early 1970 the City began a series of rezonings to bring the zones into a state of consistency with the new zoning classifications established by the Zoning Ordinance which was adopted in 1969. Rt that time the residentially zoned properties on the north side of "I" Street east of Third Avenue were rezoned from R-3 to R-1 an the basis of their small size and pre-existing development with detached single family homes, which made multi-family development difficult. The four lots on the south side of "I" Street, west of Del Mar Avenue, were allowed to remain in the R-3 zone because of their larger lot sizes and because the most westerly lot was developed with an 8 unit apartment complex. The three remaining lots were developed with single family dwellings. The center lot has since been granted a conditional use permit and converted into a day care nursery. 3. Setbacks. The majority of the setbacks in the immediate vicinity are regulated by the Building Line Map which takes precedence over the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. The 25 foot setback along the south s�de of "I" Street was established in 1949 at the time the Building Line Map was adopted. The 2Q foot setback along the north side of "I" Street between Third and Del Mar Avenues was also established in 1949. The 5� foot setback on both sides of Del Mar Avenue south of "I" Street was increased in 1956 from 30 feet. The 15 foot setback enjoyed by the apartments on "I"Street was established in 1969 when the zoning was changed from C-1 to R-3. (The property was zoned R-3 in 1949 and changed to C-1 in 1956. ) The recent action of the City Counc�l granting the appeal for a variance on the corner property established a 15 foot setback for single story structures and a 25 foot setback for two story structures on both streets for that carner lot. C. ANALYSIS 1. The following is a brief analysis of the four lots under consideration in this request: Existing Possible development assuming 2 bedroom units Address Land Use Lot Area R-3 Density R-3-M Density Difference 276 "I" St. 8 unit apt. 14,580 sq.ft. 9 units 6 units -3 268 "I" St. Single family 12,640 sq.ft. 8 units 5 units -3 264 "I" St. Day care nurs. 8,214 sq.ft. 4 units 3 units -1 256 "I" St. Single family 15,847 sq.ft. 11 units 8 units* -3 *Number of units approved by City Council 2. The proposed rezoning would not result in any significant reduction of units since 276 "I" Street �s already developed as an apartment complex and 256 "I" Street was limited in density by the City Council 's approval of a zone variance. The change in setback recommended by the staff and the Planning Commission (15 ft. for single story buildings and 25 ft. for two story) will make future development of the center lots more compatible with the adjoining single family areas. The change in the setback would also provide some flexibility with respect to building locations and open space areas. The overall effect should be a general upgrading of the area while still providing an opportunity to redevelop the properties for multi-family use. �� u _ � ��'�l�� L��'�� PRGJECT TITLE: Zone Change PCZ-79-G � Piojcct Location: 256-276 "I" Street Projcct Proponent: ��Y of Chula Vista CI�SE N0. IS-79-47 D1�T�: March 13, 1979 A. Project Setting The proposed project includes 1 .15 acres of property located at 256 through 276 "I" Street (southwest quadrant of Del Mar Avenue and "I" Street) . Four separate parcels are involved �ihich are currently developed with two single family dwellings, a children's day care nursery and an 8 unit apartment building. Adjacent uses consist of single family dwellings to the north, east and south, and a convenience grocery store to the west. The area �has been developed for many years and is. void of any significant natural vegetation, although much decorative plant material is present. There are .no known geologic hazards within the vicinity, nor are any adverse soil . conditions known to exist. . . B. Project Description The proposed project entails 'rezoning 1 .15 acres of R-3 property to R-3-M and amendment of the building .line map to reduce the front yard setback from 25 feet to l5 feet, in accordance with an approved variance and associated conditions. � C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans The subject proposal will reduce the net density of the subject property from 32 DU/acre to 21 DU/acre. The reduction in allowed density will result 'in development more consistent with adjacent single family dwellings. The reduc- tion in setback will provide flexibility in siting structures on limited size lots which should permit greater compatibility with neighboring uses. Allowed density within the R-3-M zone is approximately 21 DU/acre, which is in conformance with the High Density Residential designation of the General Plan. D. Findings of Insiqnificant Impact ' l . The site is generally void of any significant vegetation and there are not any geologic hazards or adverse soils conditions in the vicinity of the project. 2. The project is in conformance with the land use element of the General Plan and is not anticipated to achieve short term to the disadvantage of long term environmental goals. • ' 3. No impacts are anticipated to occur which could in�teract to create a cumulative effect on the environment. z. 4. The propased rez��ning wili reduce allowed density which will result in a reduction of reiatea services and demands. Reduction in front setbacks will provide flexibil3ty in development plans which will encourage compat- ibility with neighboring use. E. Consultation 1 .

NOW, THEREFORE? BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: 1 . The Commission finds that in accordance with the findings in the Negative Declaration on IS-79-47 this rezoning will have no significant environmental impact and adopts the Negative Declaration. 2. From facts presented to the Commission, the Commission finds that public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice require the change of zone for properties shown on the attached Exhibit A from R-3 to R-3-M and an amendment to the Building Line P�1ap to require a 25 foot setback along the south side of "I" Street for two story development and a 15 foot setback for one story development, as shown on Exhibit A. 3. The findings of fact in support of said determination are as follows: a. The reduction in density will result in development more consistent and compatible with the adjacent single family neighborhood. The change in setback will provide flexibility in the development of the individual properties. b. The density of the R-3-M zone is approximately 21 units per acre which is in keeping with the General Plan designation for this area of High Density Residential , 13-27 dwelling units per acre. 4. The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that said change of zone be approved. 5. That this resolution be transmitted to the City Council and a copy be transmitted to the owners of the property.
