RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGI ~NCY OF THE CITY
OF CHULA VISTA DENYING A REQUEST T() ESTABLISH A 24
BED ADULT RESIDENTIAL FACILITY AT 275 F STREET
WHEREAS, Ms. Barbara Nelson has requested a sp.~cial land use permit to allow the
establishment of a 24 bed adult residential facility at 275 F Str ~et located within the Town Centre
Redevelopment Project Area; and,
WHEREAS, on March 17, 1999, the Town Centre P~oject Area committee held a duly
noticed public hearing on the subject special land use permit application, considered information
presented, and subsequently voted 6-0 to recommend that th~ Redevelopment Agency deny the
applicant's request based on certain findings; and,
WHEREAS, on April 20, 1999, the Redevelopment Ager continued to a dated uncertain a
duly noticed public hearing on the subject special land use permi application; and,
WHEREAS, on July 13, 1999, the Redevelopment Agent y held a duly noticed public hearing
on the subject Special Land Use permit application and consider~ ~d information presented.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Chula Vista does hereby deny the request to establish a ~wenl .four bed adult residential facility at
275 F Street in accordance with the following findings:
A. The proposed use at the particular location is not necessar or desirable to provide a service or
facility which will contribute to the general well being of the ighborhood or the community.
An adult residential facility at an appropriate location in the City may provide a necessary or
desirable service or facility to the community; however, at t~' e proposed location the residential
use would preclude commercial development on a commerci ally viable property within the Town
Centre I Redevelopment Project. The objectives of the T,~wn Centre I Redevelopment Plan
include the strengthening of the mercantile posture and tie improvement of the retail trade
therein, the establishment as the South Bay's principal centEr for specialty goods and services,
and the reodentation of the people of Chula Vista to their cor~ area.
The proposed adult care facility requires an inward focus on the needs of its clients. The
applicant states that their clientele generally require heavy m~ ~dication and lack the knowledge of
how to deal with mainstream society. The goal of the redev.~lopment project is to revitalize the
Town Centre area as the commercial-civic focus of the City. While all residents are encouraged
to share in this experience, not all uses are conducive to ac ;omplishing these objectives. This
use, while necessary and laudable in purpose, would not me~ t the objectives of the Town Centre
I Redevelopment Project.
B. The proposed use will not comply with the regulations and )nditions specified in the Municipal
Code and Town Centre I Redevelopment Plan for such use.
The proposed use does not comply with the intent of the To~ n Centre Redevelopment Plan and
the adopted Downtown Vision Statement to revitalize the To~ ~n Centre area as the commercial-
civic focus of the City and will preclude commercial deve opment on a commercially viable
parcel. In areas designated "central commercial," the Town, ~.entre Redevelopment Plan allows
a mixture of commercial uses such as retail, office, and .~ntertainment toward meeting the
Project's revitalization goals.

C. Granting the requested special use permit will adversely affect the General Plan of the City or
the adopted plan of any governmental agency.
The proposed use is inconsistent with the goal of the Town Centre Redevelopment Plan, the
Downtown Vision Statement, and Town Centre Project Area Committee land use policy which
call for the revitalization of the Town Centre and Downtown as a commercial district. Granting a
special use permit for the proposed use will reduce the effectiveness of the land use provisions
of those documents.
