URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CI-IULA VISTA EXTENDING FOR ONE YEAR
INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 2836-A PROHIBITING THE
ESTABLISHMENT OR EXPANSION OF OUTDOOR STORAGE
USES AND TOLLING THE OPERATION OF EXISTING
OUTDOOR STORAGE USES WITHIN THE REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT AREAS
WHEREAS, on May 29th, 2001 the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 2836-A
prohibiting the establishment or expansion of outdoor storage uses and tolling the operation of
existing outdoor storage uses within the redevelopment project areas; and
WHEREAS, on August 21, 2001 the City Council extended the interim ordinance for one
year after the required notice pursuant to Municipal Code Sections 19.12.060 through 19.12.080 and
public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the extended interim ordinance will expire on August 27, 2002, unless the City
Council extends the interim ordinance for one additional year after the required notice pursuant to
Municipal Code Sections 19.12.060 through 19.12.080 and public hearing; and
WHEREAS, additional time is required to complete the required studies and analysis in order
to develop appropriate policy recommendations that address this issue; and
WHEREAS, it would be prudent to consider relevant studies and analysis that are now being
conducted for the General Plan Update, which has a bearing on the land use policies that would
affect the redevelopment project areas and outdoor storage uses; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council to maintain the urgency ordinance in effect
only until such time that the City Council adopt any amendments to land use policies affecting
outdoor storage in the various redevelopment project areas; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Environmental Manager has determined that this ordinance
will not have a physical effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15308, Class 8 (Actions by regulatory agencies
for protection of the environment).
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings.
A. Additional time is needed in order to complete the studies and prepare
recommendations to amend the policies affecting outdoor storage uses.
B. The City will not have the ability to make informed decisions regarding the
permitting of uses involving outdoor storage until the necessary studies are completed.
C. The Municipal Code provides for the extension of the interim ordinance for one

additional year if passed by a four-fifths vote of the City Council.
D. This is a matter of importance to the various redevelopment project areas and is not
directed towards any particular parcel of property or proposed use.
SECTION 2. Finding of Urgency.
The immediate adoption of this ordinance is necessary to protect the public safety, health, and
welfare in order to prevent the frustration of studies on these matters and the adoption of adequate
land use policies. The absence of this ordinance would create a serious threat to the orderly and
effective implementation of any land use policies that would be adopted as a result of the necessary
studies, in that the further development of uses involving outdoor storage in the various
redevelopment project areas may conflict with the provisions of the adopted land use policies.
SECTION 3. Prohibition and Tolling of Outdoor Storage Uses.
Within all redevelopment project areas, the policies prohibiting, tolling, and excepting outdoor
storage uses shall be as set forth in Interim Ordinance No. 2836-A adopted by the City Council on
May 29, 2001.
SECTION 4. Expiration Date.
This ordinance is adopted under the provisions of the Municipal Code Section 19.12.130 and shall
extend the effective date of Interim Ordinance No. 2836-A adopted on May 29, 2001 for a period of
one more year. Accordingly, Interim Ordinance No. 2836-A shall be of no further force and effect
after August 27, 2003.
