IL ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
That the Chula Vista Planning Commission, in the exercise of its independent judgment,
as set forth in the record of its proceedings, considered the Preliminary Environmental
Review of the Project conducted by the Director of Development Services for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and has determined that the Project
was covered by the Urban Core Specific Plan (UCSP) Final Environmental Impact Report
and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program FEIR-06-01, adopted by the Chula Vista
City Council in May 2007. The Development Services Director has determined that only
minor technical changes or additions to FEIR-06-01 are necessary and that none of the
conditions described in Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines calling for the
preparation of subsequent documents have occurred; therefore, the Development Services
Director has prepared an Addendum to UCSP FEIR-06-01.
That the Chula Vista Planning Commission, in the exercise of their independent review
and judgment as set forth in the record of its proceedings, considered the Addendum to UCSP
FEIR-06-01 and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, in the form presented, which
has been prepared in accordance with requirements of the CEQA and the Environmental
Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista and does hereby adopt the Addendum to UCSP
FEIR-06-01.
III. DEVELOPMENT EXCEPTIONS
The UCSP provides for and authorizes the Planning Commission to grant exceptions to
the land use and development regulations, in order to encourage and achieve innovative
design. The Project is requesting one exception to the FAR limit in the amount of 0.5 or
approximately 22,738 square-feet. Exceptions may be granted by the Planning Commission
in cases where all of the following findings are made:
1. The proposed development will not adversely affect the goals and objectives of the
Specific Plan and General Plan.
2. The proposed development will comply with all other regulations of the Specific Plan.
3. The proposed development will incorporate one or more of the Urban Amenities
Incentives in section F - Urban Amenities Requirements and Incentives, of this
chapter.
4. The exception or exceptions are appropriate for this location and will result in a
better design or greater public benefit than could be achieved through strict
conformance with the Specific Plan development regulations.
FAR Exception Findings
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission hereby approves an
exception to the FAR limit of 1.0 in the amount of 0.5 or 22,738 square-feet based upon the
following Findings and substantiating facts thereto:
PC Resolution PCS 15-0006
'June 22.2016
Pate 3
1. The proposed development will not adversely affect the goals and objectives of the
Specific Plan and General Plan.
The goals and objectives of the General Plan and Specific Plan are not adversely affected
by the proposed 0.5 increase in FAR. On the contrary, the Project as proposed implements
the General Plan and Specific Plan by providing a mixed use residential/commercial use at
the Corner of Third Avenue and K Street. The intent of the General and Specific Plans is to
facilitate and encourage development and improvements that will help realize the
community's vision for the Urban Core area. The Urban Core and the Cl District are
envisioned to be vibrant, forward-thinking but respectful of its past and alive with thriving
businesses, attractive housing and entertainment, cultural and recreational activities. The
Urban Core Vision aims to create a uniquely identifiable Urban Core for Chula Vista that is
an economically vibrant, pedestrian-oriented and multi-purpose destination. The proposed
Project meets the goals and objectives because it brings improvements and community
benefits to an area of Third Avenue which is currently under-performing and not living up to
the stated vision of the Specific Plan. This project has the potential to spur additional
development along the Third Avenue corridor with additional community and economic
benefits. The proposed Project provides wide sidewalks and a public plaza that will create a
pedestrian-friendly environment and foster civic engagement in a multi-purpose
environment. The building mass and form allows the Project to have the number of
residential units and the associated parking, landscaping, recreational spaces and other
features that provide a multi-purpose environment and activities to meet the goals and
objectives of the General-and Specific Plans.
2. The proposed development will comply with all other regulations of the Specific Plan.
As indicated in the Development Standards table in the staff report, the Project complies
with all other development standards and regulations of the Specific Plan. The building has a
height that varies from 34 feet along K Street and a height of 57 feet along Third Avenue (the
building parapets and elevator shaft achieve a height of 60 feet, which is the maximum
permitted by the UCSP). The building setbacks are within those required by the UCSP. The
Project provides all the required parking on-site and enclosed within the building structures
in the underground and first floor levels, and provides 14 additional parking spaces for guests
of the residents. Open space and Landscaped areas are also provided in excess of the
minimum required.
The building form respects the properties in the adjacent R-1 Zone to the north and east
of the Project Site along Church Avenue by locating the second floor terrace and balconies as
far away as possible from the property lines, and provides heavy screening by landscaping
the perimeter of the structure. The 3 to 5-story building structure was designed to place most
of the bulk and mass along Third Avenue and K Street, and as far as possible from the
property lines of the single-family homes. As required in the NTCD regulations the building
also steps back from the adjacent residential properties along Church Avenue, resulting in a
reduced building mass and height near the residential properties, as well as, distancing the
Project as much as possible from the residential properties.
PC Resolution PCS 15-0006
' 'June 22.2016
Page 4
The UCSP's Special Provisions for the NTCD indicate that "Building design shall be
cognizant of adjacent low density uses and avoid balconies overlooking rear yards." The
intent of this provision is not to do away with balconies but rather to address their potential
effects on privacy. The building design is cognizant of and sensitive to the adjacent
residential uses by distancing the structures from the adjacent property lines by as much as
49 to 59 feet. Also, dense and tall landscape materials have been provided along the east and
north perimeter to screen the homes from direct view of the balconies. While the NTCD
provisions indicate that balconies should be avoided, balconies are still an important design
and functional elements of the UCSP and the Project. In fact, the UCSP provisions for multi-
family projects encourage the use of balconies and other features to achieve quality building
design. One of those provisions is the following: "Three dimensional design features, such
as balconies and bays should be incorporated into the building design. Balconies serve to
provide building facade articulation and interest, and they serve to provide usable
open/recreational space. Building facade articulation and interest are important elements for
a project such as this one, which is part of an urban setting where the building architecture
intends to improve the face of Third Avenue and become a new architectural landmark.
Balconies are also important as a source of recreational space in an urban setting because
they provide recreational space on site. While balconies remain as part of the building
elevations, the design issues (particularly privacy) associated with them have been avoided
through the described Project features.
3. The proposed development will incorporate one or more of the Urban Amenities
Incentives in Section F - Urban Amenities Requirements and Incentives, of this
chapter.
The Project incorporates the following three amenities, are fully described in the staff
report: all required parking (on-site and enclosed); public outdoor space in the form of plaza
with art feature and furniture; and LEED Gold Certification. Additionally, the Project
includes other amenities and community benefits as follows:
The Project will provide fourteen parking spaces that exceed the parking regulations and
provide guest parking spaces within the parking garage. The proposed Project will provide a
community landmark at the Project Site in the form of a public art mural on the north facing
wall of the building. The mural will not only serve as a piece of art that will complement the
building's architecture, it will also serve as a landmark that may be used to identify this new
building in this area of Third Avenue, since no other art pieces like this exist now. Per the
community input received at the Second Neighborhood Meeting, the mural could reflect the
history of Chula Vista or important historical events in the City's past and looking towards
the future.
The enhanced street improvements for the Project include a widened sidewalk along
Third and K Street, new paving, street trees in grates, and street furniture such as benches,
trash cans and planters. Additionally, this residential development will provide more options
for clean, safe, energy efficient and modern housing for the Chula Vista workforce. These 71
dwelling units will put more people on Third Avenue to support the small businesses located
CPC Resolution PCS15-0006
June 22,2016
Page 5
there and to create a more pedestrian-friendly street atmosphere.
4. The exception or exceptions are appropriate for this location and will result in a
better design or greater public benefit than could be achieved through strict
conformance with the Specific Plan development regulations.
The additional FAR of 0.5 is appropriate for this location because it would allow the
Project to comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and Specific Plan related
to bringing a mixed use project with sufficient residential units and community amenities to
provide housing; activate the street and support the existing_ commercial base. The Cl
District is characterized by having mostly retail and office uses. While there are about five
properties in the District with residential uses, these properties only represent about 4% of
the total District area. General Plan policy calls for some additional residential development
within the Cl District to support the existing, and future commercial development. It has
been estimated by staff that the appropriate residential acreage that could potentially be
developed within the District based on the General Plan policy is approximately 40% of total
area. That percentage would be translated into approximately 21 acres. The proposed
Project FAR of 2.0 (91,345 sq. ft.) represents approximately 9.5% of the total potential
residential capacity within the Cl District.
The Project's FAR of 2.0 is appropriate for an urban mixed use development and is in
line with development trends elsewhere in the Urban Core area. The maximum building
height is 5 stories alone the Third Avenue elevation (60' high as allowed-by the C-i zone)
and 3 stories alone the K Street elevation. This building configuration places the most mass
and bulk along the Third Avenue and K Street's elevations, away from the existing low
density residential. The Applicant has revised the Project and has taken measures to reduce
the building mass and addressed community concerns without reducing, the viability of the
project. Furthermore, the form-based nature of the UCSP ensures that the proposed
development emphasize the importance of site design and building form (which last many
years) over numerical parameters such as FAR (which are likely to change over time through
periodic reviews and amendments to the UCSP as required by law, and based on changes to
the physical conditions of the Urban Core and changes in economic activity). The proposed
development creates a people activated, urban corner that contributes to the city's goal of
"Complete Streets" and enhances the public realm through improved streetscape design and
individual building, character.
IV. WAIVER OF PUBLIC FACILITIES FINANCING PLAN
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC)
19.09.050, the Planning Commission hereby finds that the requirement for a Public'Facilities
Financing Plan is hereby waived because the Project is infill development located in a
developed portion of the City where adequate public facilities exist or will be provided
concurrent with development of the Project Site, therefore there are no public service, facility
or phasing needs that warrant the preparation of a Public Facilities Financing Plan.
PC Resolution PCS 15-0006

V. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FINDINGS
A. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5, the
Planning Commission hereby finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map, as conditioned
herein for the Project, is in conformance with the elements of the City's General Plan,
based on the following Findings and substantiating facts thereto:
1. Land Use and Circulation
The General Plan land use designation is the Mid-Third Avenue District, which
permits office, commercial and residential uses, and is also regulated by the Urban
Core Specific Plan (UCSP), which further refines and implements the General Plan.
The Project Site is designated the Cl Corridor Third Avenue South District by the
UCSP, which permits mixed commercial and multi-family residential uses pursuant
to the UCSP development standards. The Project would provide a mixed use
development of 71 multi—family residential units, and one 616 commercial unit, at a
FAR of 2.0. The UCSP contains provisions that permit an increase above the base
FAR of 1.0, if certain project amenities are provided. The Project has been designed
to comply with the requirements of the UCSP. Also, the Findings required for the
exception to increase the proposed FAR to 2.0 have been made and substantiated
herein.
The Project has direct frontage on K Street, which is a residential street that provides
access to Third Avenue, which is designated as a 4-lane Class 1 Collector Street in
the General Plan. Third Avenue will be improved by the Applicant, in accordance
with the conditions of approval, to provide sidewalk and landscape improvements in
compliance with City design standards and requirements. Projects proposed for the
western Chula Vista area are also required to pay the Western Transportation
Development Impact Fee prior to Building Permit issuance, to pay their share of costs
associated with future road construction in the area.
2. Economic Development
The Project will provide 71 new, high-quality, energy-efficient multi-family homes
that will enhance the image and appearance of the neighborhood, help revitalize the
commercial businesses in the area, and create jobs related to the construction and the
use of the Project, that will benefit the local economy. The Project will provide new
rental and for-sale multi-family housing in a commercial area that will improve the
housing mix and enhance residential and commercial opportunities in the
neighborhood. The Project Site location near the intersection of Third Avenue and K
Street will provide convenient access for residents to nearby public transportation,
jobs, schools, and commercial services. The development of the site will also increase
the amount of property tax revenue to the City. The Project will be constructed using
green building and landscaping features that comply with the Cal Green Building
Standards. Thus, approval of the Project will help achieve the General Plan objectives
that seek to promote a variety of job and housing opportunities to improve the City's
jobs/housing balance, provide a diverse economic base, and encourage the growth of
small businesses.

3. Public Facilities and Services
The Project Site is located in the attendance area of the Rice Elementary School,
within the boundaries of the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The Project is
also within the attendance area of Chula Vista Middle School and Chula Vista High
School, within the Sweetwater Union High School District. Both school districts
responded that they would be able to accommodate the additional students generated
by the Project, and that the schools would not be adversely impacted by the approval
of the Project.
The Project Site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater
services area. The existing sewer facility system includes an existing 4-inch public
sewer main line located along the southwest property line of the Project Site. New 8
inch sewer laterals are proposed to service the Project. No adverse impacts to the
City's sewer system or City's sewer threshold standards will occur as a result of the
proposed Project.
The Project has been conditioned to ensure that all necessary public facilities and
services will be available to serve the Project concurrent with the demand for those
services. The City Engineer and Fire Departments have reviewed the proposed
subdivision for conformance with City policies and have determined that the proposal
meets those standards. The proposed Project would not induce significant population
growth, as it is a mixed commercial/residential infill project and would not adversely
impact existing or proposed park and recreational facilities. The Project has been
conditioned to pay Park Acquisition and Development Fees prior to issuance of
Building Permits. Project construction will be required to comply with the 2014
California Green Building Standards, the Cal Green Building Standards and the 2013
California Energy Code. In addition, the Applicant will construct the Project to
comply with LEED Gold standards, and therefore energy-efficient multi-family
homes will be developed.
4. Housing
The Project will be granted FAR bonuses and exceptions specified herein and
therefore is consistent with the FAR and density prescribed within the UCSP C-1
Corridors District zoning, and will provide additional opportunities for high-quality,
market-rate multi-family residential home ownership in the southwestern portion of
the City. The Project Site is subject to the Balanced Communities —Affordable
Housing Program of the City's Housing Element. For all new residential projects
consisting of 50 or more dwelling units, 10% of the units shall be affordable to low
and moderate income households, with 5% for lower income and 5% for moderate
income. Pursuant to this program, the Project will be required to provide a total of 7
low and moderate affordable units, or pay an in-lieu fee.
5. Growth Management
The Project is in compliance with applicable Growth Management Element
requirements because it is an infill project that will be served by existing public
infrastructure. There are no public services, facilities, or phasing needs that warrant
the preparation of a Public Facilities Financing Plan.
7PC Resolution PCS 1 -0006
June 22,2016
Page 8
6. Environmental
The Project includes multi-family homes with common and private usable open space
that exceeds the minimum common usable open space requirements of the UCSP.
The Project Site is currently developed with commercial structures that will be
demolished in accordance with applicable state and local laws to protect residents and
workers from exposure to hazardous materials. The Project will be conditioned to
minimize potential impacts to adjacent residents from noise and dust from
construction and grading activities, to the maximum extent feasible. The
Development Services Director has prepared an Addendum to the UCSP FEIR-06-01.
in compliance with the CEQA. Potential significant impacts to Landform/Aesthetics
(including visual character and light and glare effects), Air Quality, Hazards and
Hazardous Materials, Noise and Traffic will be mitigated upon completion of the
Mitigation Measures specified in the UCSP FEIR-06-01 Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program, which are required prior to issuance of the Final Map, Grading
Plan, or Building Permits for the Project. The Planning Commission finds that the
development of the site is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's
Conservation Element.
B. That pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.1, the configuration, orientation, and
topography of the Project Site allows for the optimum siting of buildings for natural and
passive heating and cooling opportunities, and the development of the Site will be subject
to Building Permit review pursuant to the 2013 California Building Code as amended and
updated, including Cal Green Building Standards, and the 2013 California Energy Code,
to ensure the maximum utilization of natural and passive heating and cooling
opportunities.
C. That pursuant to Government Code Section 66412.3, the Planning Commission has
considered the effect of this approval on the housing needs of the region and has balanced
those needs against the public service needs of the residents of the City and the available
fiscal and environmental resources.
D. That the Project Site is physically suited for residential development. The Project
proposes to develop a level property that is developed with commercial structures, and is
located on Third Avenue, a Circulation Element road, at the intersection of K Street. The
Project design makes full utilization of the land, locates the building with convenient
access to Third Avenue, an on-site parking garage, and to on-site common recreational
amenities and open space areas. The Project Site is adjacent to commercial uses on the
north, south and west, and residential development on the east. The proposed Project
design takes advantage of the location and characteristics of the Project Site to provide a
mixed use building at height and scale that transitions from 34 feet, 3 stories adjacent to
lower density residential uses on the east, to 60 feet, 5 stories facing Third Avenue to the
west. The Project Site also has convenient access to the MTS bus route on Third Avenue.
As conditioned, the Project conforms to all standards established by the City for a mixed-
use commercial/multi-family residential development.
